好一会工夫,李程远和曹芳才将众人安顿下来,招呼大家喝茶吃零食。 Chatted several, before related a good stall keeper to ask with Li Chengyuan: „old Li, opens such big hotel in the provincial capital, spends a lot?” 闲聊了几句,以前和李程远关系不错的一个摊贩就问道:“老李,在省城开这么大的饭店,没少花钱吧？” Li Chengyuan cheerful say/way: „Fortunately fortunately, such.” 李程远乐呵呵道:“还好还好,也就那样。” Sees Li journey to be far from speaking frankly, the opposite party also guessed: „old Li, to be honest, spending 1 million to have?” 见李程远没直说,对方又猜测道:“老李,说句实话,花了一百万有没有？” Hears 1 million, other person of ears also set upright, in the eye reveals the color of envying. 一听到一百万,其他人耳朵也都竖了起来,眼中不由露出羡慕之色。 Li really reaches now, the son of Li did business even, Li Chengyuan this couple still opened the hotel in the provincial capital unexpectedly, later sat receives money at home is good. 李家现在是真达了,老李家的儿子做生意就算了,李程远这两口子居然也在省城开了饭店,以后坐在家里收钱都行了。 Sees the opposite party to guess, Li Chengyuan had not said that is perfunctory saying: „Almost.” 见对方猜测,李程远也没多说,敷衍道:“差不多吧。” Actually the hotel was only the repair spends 1 million, in addition bought the shop to spend 3 million and other expenditures, altogether was almost flower 5 million.

lifetime, cannot afford a house in the county. 可对他们而言,一百万在县城能买五套房子了,他们这些人干上一辈子,说不定在县城都买不起一套房子。 When Li Chengyuan accompanies the men chatted to hit the fart, Chen Jing also entrains Li orchid to arrive around Cao Fang, said with a smile to Cao Fang: „Fragrant elder sister, hasn't Xiaolan her elder brother come?” 就在李程远陪男人们聊天打屁的时候,陈静也拽着李兰走到曹芳跟前,对曹芳笑道:“芳姐,小兰她哥没来？” Cao Fang said with a smile reluctantly: „Has not arrived, the thing is busy, must wait for the meeting probably.” 曹芳勉强笑道:“还没到,东子忙,大概要等会。” Must say that today most lets is Chen Jing mother and daughter who Cao Fang has a headache, actually this time Cao Fang and Li Chengyuan have not really informed Chen Jing. 要说今天最让曹芳头疼的就是陈静母女了,其实这次曹芳和李程远还真没通知陈静。 Does not know Chen Jing news where from knows, leading Li orchid to

even, Li Nanming and Li Qing still arrive today, this somewhat was awkward. 要是搁在平时也就算了,偏偏李南明和李青这两人今天也到了,这就有些尴尬了。 Cao Fang is staring at several people now cautiously, feared that they ignore the situation to be at the scene restless. 曹芳现在小心翼翼地盯着几个人,就怕他们不顾场合当场闹腾起来。 Was good they calculates the restraint because of Jin Jeong-hwa Li Nanming, in addition Li Chengyuan is different at this time in those days, although both sides saw each other, but did not have the speech exchange, this made Cao Fang relax. 好在陈静和李南明他们都算克制,加上李程远一家今时不同往日,双方虽然看见了彼此,不过也没说话交流,这才让曹芳松了口气。 Cao Fangzheng talks with Chen Jing, sits shouts in entrance one side Li Qing suddenly: „Thing, you came.” 曹芳正陪着陈静说话,坐在门口一侧的李青忽然喊道:“东子,你来了。” Li Dong nods, swept one in the passenger compartment, finally greeted with a smile: „Everyone arrived, in the morning was a little busy, comes lately.” 李东点了点头,又在包间中扫了一眼,最后笑着招呼道:“大家都到了,早上有点忙,来迟了。” „All right, all right, you are busy your, we have your father mother to call on the line.” “没事,没事,你忙你的,我们有你爸妈招呼就行。” „Yes, the person who the thing, you achieve the great accomplishment now, has the matter to go busily, don't, for we delayed.” “就是,东子,你现在可是做大事的人,有事就去忙,千万别为了我们耽搁了。” „......” “……” The people are greeting with Li Dong, no matter the rank height, stood. 众人纷纷和李东打着招呼,不管辈分高低,都纷纷站了起来。 Li Dong sees that some is not comfortable, with people smalltalk several, then to Cao Fangdao: „Mother, you greeted uncle uncle above, I had a look.” 李东见状有些不自在,又和众人客套了几句,便对曹芳道:“妈,那你们在上面招呼诸位叔叔伯伯,我下去看看。” Cao Fang said hastily: „Ok, above has us to be good, you get down.” 曹芳连忙道:“行,上面有我们就行,你下去吧。” Li Dong smiles, chatted several with the people, then prepares the passenger compartment to go downstairs. 李东笑了笑,又和众人聊了几句,便准备出包间下楼。 Nearby Chen Jing said suddenly: „Xiaolan her elder brother, Xiaolan has not just come this, making her get down to have a look with you together?” 旁边的陈静忽然道:“小兰她哥,刚好小兰也没来过这,让她跟你一起下去看看？” Li Dongpie her eyes, looked at Li orchid, the nod said: „Becoming, making Xiaolan follow I.” 李东瞥了她一眼,又看了看李兰,点头道:“成,让小兰跟着我吧。” On Chen Jing hears word face one happy, pushed Li orchid, Li Landi the head was arriving around Li Dong, Li Dongrou rubbed her head saying: „Walks, transfers the revolutions with me.” 陈静闻言脸上一喜,推了一把李兰,李兰低着脑袋走到李东跟前,李东揉了揉她的脑袋道:“走,跟我下去转转。” Said that has not looked at Chen Jing again, leading Li orchid to go downstairs together. 说完也没再看陈静,带着李兰一起下了楼。 Nearby Li Nanming curls the lip, sees everyone to pat Mr. and Mrs. Li Chengyuan horse buttocks, no one responds himself, was somewhat senseless, thinks also to follow the passenger compartment. 一旁的李南明撇了撇嘴,见大家都在拍李程远夫妇的马屁,没人搭理自己,有些无趣,想了想也跟着出了包间。 His Li Qing drew his one not to hold on, was worried that Li Nanming stirred up trouble, quickly with. 他身边的李青拉了他一把没拉住,又担心李南明惹事,急忙跟了上去。

opposite party change is too many. 李东上次听曹芳说过一嘴,东平那边的小便利店交给陈静盯着,这小半年钱没少,每个月陈静都把钱按时打过来,手脚也算干净,对李兰现在也好了许多,这就差不多了,李东总不能要求对方改变太多。 Also asked Li orchid several study situations, Li orchid previous 3 rd, now is good in the school result in the second half of the year, evidently in one hopeful. 又问了李兰几句学习情况,李兰下半年上初三,现在在学校成绩还算不错,看样子一中有希望。 Li Dong encouraged several, two people were saying has gone

Do I owe you? You said that asks me to discuss the matter, can I discuss with you?” 李东瞥了他一眼,皱眉道:“少跟我套关系,我就翻脸不认人了,你能怎么着？我欠你的？你说找我谈事,我就得和你谈？” Half dead of Li south fame, feared that really offended Li Dong, later did not have the opportunity, suddenly stayed in that does not know that should say anything. 李南明气的半死,又怕真得罪死了李东,以后更没机会了,一时间呆在那都不知道该说些什么。 Was good because of this time Li Qing with, just Li Dong words she also heard, saw Li Nanming Station in that motionlessly, Li Qing said hastily: „Elder Brother, the Second Uncle two aunts shouted you in the building, your quick past.” 好在这时候李青跟了过来,刚刚李东的话她也听到了一些,见李南明站在那一动不动,李青连忙道:“哥,二叔二婶在楼上喊你呢,你快过去吧。” Li Nanming shouted the tone gently, the corners of the mouth pulled out pulling out, has not said anything again, turned around to walk toward the building. 李南明轻轻呼了口气,嘴角抽了抽,也没再说什么,转身往楼上走去。 He walks, Li Qing and Li orchid were relaxed. 他一走,李青和李兰都轻松了许多。 Li Dong now before Li Qing did not have is so repugnant, since Li Chenghui passed away, Li Qing changed many. 李东现在对李青倒没以前那么讨厌了,自从李程辉过世后,李青变了不少。 Sees Li Qing to prepare to walk, Li Dong greeted: „Sits, several words told you.” 见李青准备走,李东招呼道:“坐,有几句话跟你说。” Li Qing quite some appearances of feeling extremely flattered, sat side Li orchid cautiously. 李青颇有些受宠若惊的样子,在李兰身边小心翼翼地坐了下来。 Li Dong has not managed her, asked directly: „Heard that you did open urinative Lidian?” 李东也没管她,直接问道:“听说你开了个小便利店？” Although how Li Qing some curious Li Dong knows that but the nod said: „Un.” 李青虽然有些好奇李东怎么知道的,不过还是点头道:“嗯。” „Where does money come?” “钱哪来的？” „I asked my mother to want 20,000, asked the friend to borrow 10,000, 30,000 rent money a shop front, now has not done well.” Some of Li Qing embarrassed say/way. “我找我妈要了两万,找朋友借了一万,三万块钱租了一个店面,现在还没弄好呢。”李青有些不好意思道。 Li Dong looking pensive, asked: „Do yourself open?
