Chapter 7 Envisioning the Future
The next day, after Chen Dayong hastily finished the construction team, he sat at home and waited for Township Chief Zhang's call, which waited until more than one o'clock in the afternoon, when the call was late.
When he came to the dormitory of the township government cadres, Chen Dayong finally met the nephew of the township chief, named Zhang Chongxi, a young man in his twenties, with myopic glasses, a bookish atmosphere, and a polite appearance.
Zhang Chongxi received a call from his uncle yesterday, saying that he had introduced a local contractor to him, and he wanted to refuse at that time, but under his uncle's repeated requests, he reluctantly came to this Yuyang Township from the county seat today, and then, he heard from his uncle that this contractor intended to go with him to Shanghai to buy that stock, and this stock was the first time he had heard of it.
Now as soon as the two meet, Zhang Chongxi's original impression of the appearance of the contractor has completely changed, no matter what, Chen Dayong's height of more than one meter and eight meters, handsome appearance, looks very good, and has the unique simplicity and boldness of rural people, which he admires very much. And Chen Dayong is basically very satisfied with the nephew of the township chief. Before, he was still a little worried that the nephew of the township chief was a stealing and sliding master, but now that he is a real reader, he is completely relieved.
After the three of them politely exchanged words for a while, they quickly got to the point. Township Chief Zhang first said that his nephew was also very willing to go to Shanghai with Chen Dayong to buy stocks, but the family was not very wealthy, and he was an uncle, although he was the head of a township, but he also had a clean sleeve, and he didn't have much savings, and he could only give him a thousand yuan at most, so he was at a loss now.
Township Chief Zhang's words, Chen Dayong couldn't understand it, and after thinking about it for a while, he said very boldly: "Township Chief Zhang, you can afford me, so you introduced your nephew to me." I won't say much, I've made some money working in the construction team recently, and if your nephew wants to, I'll lend him two thousand yuan, if it's not enough, just say. β
Township Chief Zhang was very happy to see Chen Dayong so knowledgeable, and hurriedly said, "Enough, enough." I discussed it with my nephew, but he was afraid of taking risks, so he didn't buy much of this stock in the early stage. It's just like you, it's enough to buy two or three thousand. β
Zhang Chongxi saw that Chen Dayong agreed to lend him money so easily, although he knew that the other party was because of his uncle, he couldn't help but appreciate the contractor's personality and bearing even more.
"Uncle Chen, thank you!" Zhang Chongxi thanked politely.
"You're welcome, if you're okay in the afternoon, come with me to the county seat to buy a bus ticket to Shanghai, and we'll leave together tomorrow." "Chen Dayong is not as indecisive as before, no matter what, he can now manage dozens of people under his hands, just do what he says, very resolute.
Township Chief Zhang still admired Chen Dayong's * character, and immediately nodded and agreed: "Okay, Chongxi, you can go to the county with your Uncle Chen now." β
Yuyang Township is not far from the trip, there is a fairly smooth and spacious machine farming road leading to the county seat, sitting in a motor tricycle with two rows of seats facing each other, the local commonly known as the "dog car" means of transportation, it takes less than half an hour to get to the county seat.
The two went to the county seat and bought two long-distance bus tickets to Shanghai, Zhang Chongxi wanted to go back to the county seat to prepare his luggage, so the two broke up and agreed to meet again at the bus station tomorrow.
When he returned home, Chen Dayong told his wife and children about what had happened.
"Dad, you promised to lend him 2,000 yuan, and if you make it then, it's better to say, in case...... Isn't that ...... Also, how much money are you going to bring with you this time?" At this time, Zhao Xiaolan was a little troubled.
Chen Feng comforted: "Mom, don't worry, you will definitely earn it this time." If you don't make money, it won't be reasonable. β
"My son is right, I will definitely earn this time. Township Chief Zhang is a real person, and he also said that as long as you can buy this stock now, you can make a steady profit without losing money. This time, I'm going to bring 20,000 yuan over, and I'll fight for his mother once. Chen Dayong is also very confident.
Zhao Xiaolan was startled and shouted, "Twenty thousand!? Dad, this is not a small amount?"
Chen Dayong frowned and said: "What are you shouting about? 20,000 yuan is a lot of money, but don't we still have more than 30,000 yuan at home? After working in the construction team and becoming the contractor foreman, I can understand a truth -- there is no richest, only richer." Do you think that our family is rich now? You don't know what kind of life those people in the city live, and their really rich people invite guests to have a meal, and they are often tens of thousands. With our current money, it is not much better than a beggar in front of them. My son was right last time, 'Hold up the bold, starve the cowardly', I can see it now, as long as you are bold in this era, you can make a lot of money. Anyway, I've made up my mind this time. Even if you lose it, it can be regarded as going to a big city to see the world and buy a lesson. What's more, I'm not putting all our belongings on us. β
Zhao Xiaolan knew her husband's temper, if he made up his mind, that is, the nine cows would not be able to pull it back, so he had to stop talking, and could only pray secretly in his heart that this time her husband's trip to Shanghai would be smooth and profitable, not seeking to make money, but to be able to protect his capital and return safely.
"Dad, I don't have anything to do at home anyway, why don't you take me with you this time." I'm young, you two adults and I have a child, so I shouldn't need a ticket. Chen Feng really wanted to go to Shanghai at this time to see the strangeness. In addition, he is really a little worried about his semi-literate father, but he has the mind of a college student, and it is good to be a staff officer for him.
Of course, Chen Dayong disagreed: "You stinky boy, Dad is going this time to do business, not tourism, why are you going with him?"
Chen Feng said seriously: "Dad, you just said that this nephew of the township chief is only in his twenties, and I don't think he has seen much of the world, so I will go with you, maybe I can help you with advice." β
Chen Dayong said with some tears and laughter: "You little kid know what it means to make plans?"
"That's not necessarily, I had a long dream last night that I went to Shanghai with my dad and ......"
Chen Feng deliberately jammed and dragged out the sound. Chen Dayong was really fooled and asked, "Then what happened?"
"Hmph, if you don't take me to Shanghai, I won't tell you. My dream came true. Last time I dreamed that Dad you were a contractor, our family made money, the night before the third uncle had a car accident, I dreamed that he was hit by a car, and that time I dreamed that Xiaodong fell into the river, and a few days later he really fell into the river, or I found it in time and called an adult to rescue him, you also know this......"
Chen Feng wrenched his fingers, and the chatter of one thing was well documented, and in order to make a fortune for his family in the future, he could only continue to play the role of a prodigy who "foresaw the future". This couldn't help but make Chen Dayong and his wife shocked.
"Son, you're not joking with your parents. These are a few things that you really dreamed about before they happened. Zhao Xiaolan's face was a little pale, and she was expecting her son's denial and expecting him to affirm, with a very complicated expression.
"Mom, I didn't want to talk about it, but since the beginning of the year, I've often dreamed about these strange things, and many of them have been verified. Chen Feng replied helplessly. From a certain Cheng dΓΉ point of view, he is not lying, because he can really foresee the future, just like the Xiaodong who fell into the water he just said, is one of his better playmates, in the memory of his previous life, he was unfortunately drowned when he was seven years old, that is, in May and June this year, he was reborn this time, of course, he will not let this tragedy happen again, so, some time ago, he often played with that Xiaodong, and finally avoided the tragedy.
Seeing that his parents were stunned and didn't speak, Chen Feng had no choice but to sacrifice a killer idea: "If you still don't believe it, I dreamed last night that a major event would happen in our township, and the specific time is not clear, anyway, in the next month, a female corpse will be found in the mountain forest in next Zhou Village." β
This female corpse can be said to be the most impressive thing in Chen Feng's childhood memories, and he still remembers it very clearly, when the female corpse was swollen all over the body, unrecognizable, it is said that when it was found, it had been killed for several days, and her clothes were lying in a sweet potato field on the mountainside, and there was no police station in the township at that time. The case was unheard of in the local area before, so many people from ten miles and eight towns went up the mountain to see this open-air female corpse as if they were going to see an exhibition. In his previous life, because of the child's curiosity, Chen Feng ignored the intimidation of his parents, and secretly followed the flow of people to see the excitement, and then for several years, this swollen female corpse became a shadow in his heart, and it was not until he became an adult that this psychological shadow slowly dissipated.
"Ahh "My son is hiding such a big thing in his heart at such a small age, and he dreams of such a scary thing, she only knows it now, which is really a bit dereliction of duty. Zhao Xiaolan felt guilty in her heart.
"Alas!" Chen Dayong sighed and touched his son's head lovingly, "Dad also believes in you." Son, I have wronged you. You should have told your parents about this. Speaking of this, he squatted down and said with a solemn face: "Son, you don't want to sue anyone except your parents for dreaming, you know? Dad really hopes that what you just said is false, but Dad knows that what you said is true." Alas!"
Chen Dayong has slowly believed in his son's magical ability to dream of the future, but he is not surprised, but a little worried. If he had to choose, he would rather have his son be an ordinary little boy.
