Because of Li He, he had a good relationship with the Pan family, He family, and Liu family. They had known each other for a long time and knew each other very well.
Until now, he could not help but laugh when he thought of Pan Guangcai.
"Ha … …" Pan Ying finished his porridge and said. "I have never heard about these from my father."
Liu Shan said. "Uncle Chen, why don't you tell us more about it?"
"There is nothing much to say. It's just that I am getting old, and I can't help but recall the past." Chen Dadi pushed his plate back and leaned back on his chair. "My father, your Uncle Pan, and the rest of them might have suffered a lot in the past.
They traveled all over the country. Later, they stopped trading Treasury bonds and started to speculate in the stock market. All of them made a sum of money and changed their careers.
That's why I admire your Uncle Pan. He is the only one who is still in the financial securities industry, and he is getting better and better.
Your Uncle Pan has no shortcomings, but he is too stingy. When I first met him, he wanted to go out for a walk. I said that it's fine if you don't take a taxi, but you can take the bus.
It's only 50 cents!
At that time, he was earning at least 500,000 to 600,000 RMB. That was in the early 1990s, and it was not uncommon to have a family of 10,000 RMB. But there are not many millionaires in Pujiang, and there are not many millionaires in Northern Anhui.
It's funny to think about how stingy he was. "
"My father is very generous now." Pan Ying had heard the nickname Old Stingy Pan since she was young. But as a daughter, she still has to defend her father.
"Yes, your father is very generous now." Chen Dadi laughed. "Every time you come on a business trip, I ask why you don't stay at our hotel and take care of my business. What did he say? Ah, I don't want to stay at your 200 to 300 RMB hotel and stay at your family's 1000 RMB hotel. Is there something wrong with my brain? "
He deliberately imitated Pan Guangcai's tone and made the others laugh.
"This sounds like what my Uncle Pan would say." Liu Shan said.
"Your old man isn't any better," Chen Dadi continued, "Every time I spend money, your old man will think about it. Aiya, I work so hard to collect waste for a whole day. I can only earn a few cents from a pound of waste. I can't afford to spend it. He likes to complain about being poor the most."
"Trash doesn't earn much in the first place …" Liu Shan scratched his head. Every time he didn't study hard in school, his father would always patiently teach him that if he didn't study hard, he'd be collecting trash for the rest of his life. In order to give him a more direct experience, his father even brought him to the waste station to work, especially in the summer.
Under the sun, a layer of skin could be burnt off. Sweat and tears flowed together.
"Sometimes, it might be the habits of the older generation. It's hard to change them in a short time," Li Ke said. "I only found out recently that there was an auntie in our company who was a cleaner. Her family was demolished and she had six apartments. Her son drove a car worth half a million yuan, so …"
Before she could finish, she couldn't help but laugh. She finally stopped laughing and said, "Auntie often steals toilet paper from the company."
The others roared with laughter.
"In terms of magnanimity, your mother is still the best. She's better than all of us men." Chen Dadi said to He Zhou, "You have to admit it."
"Auntie He is famous for being a strong woman." Pan Ying agreed. "Not many people can compare to her. I'll follow her example."
"Anyway, there aren't many women who are better than her." Chen Dadi sighed. "She's very loyal. Once, a driver got into a car accident here. She came to deal with it herself. I accompanied her. She was a woman, but she was busy. She had so much money and the scale was so big. She didn't have to do it herself. She wasn't the only one who could do it.
But she still did it herself. No matter how much the family cried or made a fuss, she didn't say a word and tried her best to comfort them. I asked her at that time, and I said that you have to explain yourself. She said that she was happy to be scolded and that she felt lucky. Fortunately, the driver's life was saved, or else she would feel guilty for the rest of her life. "
"My mother is soft-hearted." He Zhou knew his mother's temper the best.
After dinner, they chatted for a while. Then, they went upstairs to rest.
Li Lan casually took a shower in the rain. He didn't wait for the water to dry himself. Then, he lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
When he woke up, he looked at his phone. It was only 11 o 'clock.
The hot sun shone through the glass, making it hard for him to open his eyes. He brushed his teeth and washed his face in a daze. Then, he went to Li Zhaokun's room.
"You didn't sleep?" Li Zhaokun was sitting on the bed and putting on his shirt.
"I just woke up." Li Lan straightened his belt for him. "Are you hungry? Let's go down and eat. "
"Front to back." Li Zhaokun slipped on his slippers and went to the bathroom. After the sound of water splashing, he came out and followed Li Lan to the dining room downstairs.
Pan Ying was sitting at the side of the dining room, eating ice cream. When he saw the two of them, he smiled and said, "You two are awake too?"
"Girl, did you sleep well?" Li Zhaokun rarely showed concern.
"I slept well, but I didn't dare to sleep too much. Otherwise, I won't be able to sleep well at night." Pan Ying ordered the waiter. He got up and poured a cup of tea for Li Zhaokun. "Moisten your throat."
"I'm dying of thirst." Li Zhaokun gulped down a cup of tea. When he finished, Li Lan refilled his cup. "Drink slowly. Leave some room for the soup."
"I don't want soup." Li Zhaokun smacked his mouth and said, "Those little barbarians like to drink soup the most. They don't drink much when they eat, so they just gulp the soup down without any hesitation."
He had traveled extensively and lived in Hong Kong for many years. He thought he knew the eating habits of the Southerners very well.
"Shh!" Li Lan was afraid that others would hear. "There are too many people here. Don't talk nonsense."
Li Zhaokun spoke without thinking. It would be bad if he caused a misunderstanding.
When the waiter brought the food over, Li Zhaokun finished his tea. He felt that the spoon was a hindrance. He threw it aside and waved his chopsticks, stuffing food into his mouth.
Li Lan finished his glass of water and quickly took two or three mouthfuls, finishing it in a few seconds.
"No one is fighting with you. Why are you in such a hurry?" Pan Ying was used to Li Lan's eating speed.
"I'm used to it." Li Lan smiled. "You won't be able to eat well if you chew slowly. Why don't you eat more?"
Pan Ying said, "I'll eat as soon as I get to the dining room."
After a while, Li Zhaokun was also done. He wiped his mouth and stretched. "I'm going to take a walk downstairs. I'm bored."
"Don't go. It's hot downstairs." Li Lan stopped Pan Ying and hurried to catch up with Li Zhaokun.
