Chapter 34: Cousin Qin Xiaotao
??Chapter 34 Cousin Qin Xiaotao
??Qin Yun's uncle is called Qin Guoliang, who was a soldier in his early years.
??I got married not long after returning from serving as a soldier. At that time, I lived in earthen houses. Qin Guoliang, Qin Guodong, and Qin Guobin were all together, and the houses were only a few meters apart.
?? Later, the earthen house became a brick house again, and then moved to the new rural community.
??The three families are not together now, but they are all in this new rural community.
??Qin Yun's house was in the front row, near the road, on the third floor, while his uncle's house was in the last row, on the second floor, and the house was connected to a ten-square-meter yard.
?? When I came here, a middle-aged woman with a withered face was sitting on a small stool in the yard, peeling lettuce. When she felt someone coming, she couldn't help but raised her head to take a look.
??Seeing that it was Qin Guodong and Qin Yun, the middle-aged woman quickly stood up and shouted into the room: "Guoliang, his second uncle is here, come out quickly."
??After she finished speaking, she washed her hands under the tap, looked at Qin Yun, and said with a smile: "Xiaoyun is here too, is the college entrance examination over now? How is the exam?"
??She was smiling all over her face, but her face looked wrinkled, her hair was gray, and she looked like a sixty-year-old man.
?? This is Qin Guoliang's wife Zhang Pandi.
?? "Auntie." Looking at the middle-aged woman, Qin Yun shouted with a smile.
??In the room, a figure came striding forward. This figure looked very tall and burly, but the back was obviously bent, which had been fixed and could not be changed.
?? "Second, you haven't come back for more than a month?" Qin Guoliang looked at Qin Guodong and said.
After he finished speaking, he looked at Qin Yun again, patted his shoulder with his callused hands, and said, "How about Xiaoyun's college entrance examination? You are the most promising one in our Qin family. Do you have the confidence to pass the exam?" ?”
?? To be honest, Qin Yun’s grades were particularly good in elementary school, and he often ranked first in the exams. In junior high school, he dropped a little, but he was able to stay in the top 30 of the school.
?? When it came to high school, the ranking dropped again, roughly maintaining the appearance of around 300 in the school.
??Such results depend on the performance of the college entrance examination. Generally, if you perform well, you can go to the second book.
?? "It's almost enough to read a book." Qin Yun smiled and said.
??After the previous exam, Zhou Yang found a few test papers from somewhere, and excitedly estimated the scores with him.
??To Qin Yun's surprise, the correct rate of some multiple-choice questions he was not sure about before was quite high, especially in English, which should not be lower than the usual test scores.
??The key is that this English test paper is more difficult than the previous college entrance examinations, and he can maintain his usual score, which undoubtedly has a great advantage.
??So, he was sure he could pass one.
?? "That's good. You must celebrate when you pass the exam." Qin Guoliang said with a smile.
??He led Qin Guodong and Qin Yun towards the house, shouting as he walked, "Xiao Tao, come down quickly, your second uncle and Xiao Yun are here."
??There seemed to be a dull answering sound on the second floor, and then there was the sound of going down the stairs, and a young man appeared after a while.
??The young man looked obviously not in good spirits, very thin, with long hair, and he didn't seem to wash it very much.
?? "Second Uncle."
??Seeing Qin Guodong, the young man shouted hastily.
??Seeing this young man, Qin Guoliang couldn't help scolding: "It's almost nine o'clock, and you still don't get up? Go and pour two cups of tea for your second uncle and Xiaoyun."
??Hearing Qin Guoliang's scolding, the young man didn't say a word, and immediately went to pour tea.
??Looking at the young man, Qin Guodong couldn't help asking: "Brother, how is Xiaotao doing at work now?"
"Ugh."
??Hearing Qin Guodong ask this, Qin Guoliang couldn't help but sighed, sat on the stool, took out a cigarette and started smoking.
??He shook his head and said for a while: "It's still the same, with a salary of a little more than 3,000. Now introduce him to some blind date girls. After hearing about his salary, basically we will stop contacting him after meeting."
??Qin Yun's cousin, Qin Xiaotao, is also the eldest of the second generation of the three brothers of the Qin family. He is now thirty years old.
??Qin Xiaotao’s grades were mediocre. He didn’t do very well in the college entrance examination, and he reached the cut-off mark for three colleges. However, the tuition fees for three colleges were too expensive, so he went directly to a junior college, and he was 24 years old when he graduated from school.
??In the past six years, the job has been changing constantly, but there has been no improvement, and the salary is still 3500 yuan.
??The main reason is that Qin Xiaotao's personality is too boring, the kind who can't hold back a word for a long time, and has reached the age of thirty before he knows it.
??Now he works in an air-conditioning factory in Qingwu County. He leaves early and returns late every day on a battery car. Today is a holiday.
??As he gets older, his personality becomes more dull, and he keeps his head down unconsciously wherever he goes.
??He was completely anxious to Qin Guoliang and Zhang Pandi. They also bought a house for Qin Xiaotao in Qingwu County, but it was a very remote place. Except for the residential area, the surrounding area was almost deserted.
?? The down payment is more than 100,000 yuan, and Qin Xiaotao is asked to repay the loan more than 2,000 yuan a month.
??Qin Guoliang, like Qin Guodong, is also working on the construction site, but he has not been active for a while.
??As for Zhang Pandi, she doesn’t have much education, and her family has three acres of land, so she mainly does farm work.
?? "Forget it, let's not talk about it, he doesn't live up to himself, he won't be able to get married in the future, and he will be alone all his life, so he can't blame us." Qin Guoliang shook his head and said.
?? It happened that Qin Xiaotao came over with a cup of tea, and when he heard Qin Guoliang's words, he seemed not to hear him, and kept silent.
??Qin Guodong and Qin Yun looked at each other, but they didn't speak.
?? "By the way, second child, how are things going on your construction site?" Qin Guoliang asked.
??Qin Guodong said: "I'm not working on the construction site anymore, and I'm busy with the clothing store now."
??Qin Guoliang nodded, and said: "I heard from the third son that your family opened a clothing store in Qingwu County, and now the business is very good, and the third daughter-in-law also works in the clothing store opened by you."
?? "It's okay." Qin Guodong smiled and said: "If sister-in-law has time, you can also go to the store to have a look, learn a bit, and then work in the store."
?? "Oh, what can I do." Hearing this, Zhang Pandi quickly shook her head and said.
??Basically, she has never worked, and has been dealing with farmland all her life. If she is asked to sell clothes, she can't speak.
?? Seeing that Zhang Pandi didn't have this idea for the time being, Qin Guodong had no choice but to say nothing more.
??He took a sip of tea, stood up, and said, "Brother, I will pay you 20,000 yuan for coming here this time."
??He took out the money in the bag and handed it over.
?? "The money is not in a hurry..." Seeing this, Qin Guoliang said quickly.
?? "Brother, there is no need to be polite between us." Qin Guodong smiled and put down the money solemnly.
??The two brothers declined for a while, and then Qin Guoliang finally accepted.
?? "Second brother, since you're back, let's have lunch together." He looked at Qin Guodong and said.
?? "Okay, I'll bring some wine when I come at noon." After thinking for a while, Qin Guodong nodded and said.
?? (Thanks to Brother Hei for the 5,000 reward in 1973, and for the 800 reward from Bansheng Liangliang to Shang, thank you. Please collect new books, ask for monthly tickets, and recommend tickets.)
