Chapter 256
It is said that the real power of the real estate company that Brother Rui invests in is in his hands. Shi Mingwu is just a white glove, but this white glove is very popular with officials.
Shi Mingwu said in a puzzled way, “You mainlanders are so enthusiastic. No matter what department I go to, they will invite me to drink. You know, A Rui, I am a monk and can’t drink, so I have to refuse them.”
Brother Rui glanced at him, his eyes fell on his head and he said, “You are not ordained, what are you afraid of drinking?”
“Who said that?” Shi Mingwu touched his naked forehead and said very seriously, “When I finish my training in the mainland, I will go back to the temple to receive ordination, and I won’t be able to break the power.”
Shi Mingwu is a very ideal monk. He also knows how to analyze and say, “Your mainland officials treat me well because I am from Hong Kong. They can’t think that you are the real boss.”
“Isn’t it a bit ironic?” He glanced at Brother Rui and said, “You are a mainlander, but you can’t invest in the mainland. I’m a Hong Konger, but I can invest in the mainland.”
Brother Rui’s face was a little ugly at this moment. In the final analysis, it was the mainland’s practice that made him feel dull. But in the face of Shi Mingwu, a Hong Konger, he still has to try his best to maintain the face of the mainland.
“Brother Mingwu, some things are not so easy to explain, and the mainland also has difficulties. However, what you said also makes sense. Your identity as a Hong Konger is a little better than mine, so your master sent you. Come, you can stay here with peace of mind and help me spend money properly.”
“No problem, wrap it on me.” Shi Mingwu slapped his chest thumpingly, and said, “I’m the best at spending money.”
His job is very simple, he just needs to run errands between various departments, listen to everyone’s praise for him, and then buy the plot of interest according to Rui Ge’er’s instructions, which is extremely easy. There is also salary available.
If Shi Mingwu had not been a monk since he was a child, his heart towards Buddha would have been shaken on the mainland.
After he finished his work that day, he returned to Taoyuan Village, and while eating, he said in admiration, “A Rui, there are so many delicious things here on your mainland, even wild vegetables have so many varieties.”
The vegetarian food that Shi Mingwu ate was specially made by Brother Rui at the hotel for Feng’s second son, and it was specially made for him.
These vegetarian dishes are tasteless and tasteless in the eyes of others, but Shi Mingwu can eat them with relish.
Madam Feng happened to be in the hotel. She saw it suddenly, and said sympathetically, “Ming Wu, what kind of hard life did you live in Hong Kong before.”
Unexpectedly, Shi Mingwu put down his chopsticks and called the Buddha’s name on the spot, saying, “Amitabha, poor monks used to grow their own fields in the mountains. In order to train me, my master never let me spend money to buy vegetables. The vegetables we eat in the temple. , I planted them all.”
Madam Feng widened her eyes and said, “Tsk tsk, you Hong Kong people are also farming, it’s really unexpected.”
Shi Mingwu said with a smile, “Yeah, have you ever seen a Hong Konger like me? Your life is much better than mine.”
Mrs. Feng was amused by him until she laughed. When she came out of the hotel, Brother Rui also got up and came out with her.
Madam Feng turned around and looked at Shi Mingwu, who was sitting in the lobby to eat, and couldn’t help whispering to Brother Rui.
“This little monk is really interesting. Why doesn’t he know how to return to the vulgarity? In the future, he will live in our mainland and ask for a daughter-in-law or something. It would be great.”
Brother Rui smiled and said, “Grandma Feng, Brother Mingwu has been adopted by his master since he was a child. He is devoted to the Buddha. We think he is suffering, but he thinks he is cultivating. No matter how Hong Kong people are, they will not be better than us. Mainlanders have a poor life, and their own temples also have industries.”
Madam Feng suddenly realized and said, “Oh, so it turns out that monks and Taoist priests are very rich. Brother Rui, it’s a pity that you don’t become Taoist priests.”
Brother Rui didn’t expect this topic, but it actually brought it to him, he quickly clarified and said, “Grandma Feng, I’m the only child in my family, how can I become a monk? My master won’t let me become a monk, I am Just follow the master and practice martial arts.”
He wanted to tell Madam Feng that he wanted to marry a daughter-in-law and would never become a Taoist priest.
“Grandma Feng, don’t you think so?” Brother Rui stared at Mrs. Feng nervously.
Madam Feng opened her mouth with a smirk, and she said teasingly, “I’m just joking with you, you kid, you actually take it seriously. You are the only one in your old Zhang family, and of course you won’t be allowed to become a monk. , or your family will have to cry to death.”
“That’s right.” Brother Rui said almost confidently, “My master doesn’t expect me to become a monk either. I can make money myself now. When I see my family and start a business in the future, my master is happier and more useful than me becoming a Taoist priest.”
Mrs. Feng likes boys with ambition the most, she can’t help but give a thumbs up and say, “Good job, Brother Rui, there are not many boys in our village, as promising as you, who will be your daughter-in-law in the future. , you will be lucky.”
Brother Rui was overjoyed by her remarks, and he became more energetic in business.
He not only asked Shi Mingwu to buy land in the provincial capital, but also asked him to go to places such as Beijing, Shanghai, Guangzhou, and Shenzhen. He had to find a way to take any land that he hoped to take down.
Mengmeng passed the third year of junior high school in a blink of an eye, and has already taken the high school entrance examination. With her grades, it is of course no problem to be admitted to Taoyuan High School.
She had a holiday recently, but her second brother and brother Rui haven’t had a holiday yet. In half a month, they will have the college entrance examination.
The day before the college entrance examination, Mengmeng went to Lao Zhang’s house to find brother Rui, and handed him a red egg.
“Here, my grandma boiled two red eggs, I left one for you, and the other is for my second brother. Brother Rui, you have to take the exam well.”
Brother Rui was very moved and clenched the red egg tightly, his eyes bright as if they would glow.
“Thank you sister.”
Mengmeng waved her hand and said, “Don’t thank me, I wish you a good score in the test.”
Brother Rui nodded lightly, his eyes looked deeply at Mengmeng, as if to promise, “Well, I will listen to you.”
That afternoon, Brother Rui and Erwa packed their luggage and prepared to go to the county seat. Their examination room was assigned to No. 1 Middle School in the county seat, and they planned to stay in the county for a few days and come back after the college entrance examination.
Yang Xiaojuan and Su Wan also wanted to follow, and Erwa said awkwardly, “Mom, if you don’t go, we can go for the exam by ourselves, how old I am.”
Su Wan said angrily, “No matter how old you are, you are still my son. Besides, I’m not all for you. Mengmeng will also go. She will go to experience the atmosphere of the college entrance examination in advance.”
Mengmeng just pulled the small suitcase and walked past Erwa. She smiled and said, “Second brother, let’s go, isn’t it good to have us with you for the college entrance examination?”
Erwa’s objection was invalid, so she could only surrender obediently.
They drove to the county seat to settle down. The next day, Brother Rui and Erwa went to take the exam. With Yang Xiaojuan and Su Wan here, they felt the benefits of having their parents accompany them to take the exam.
For example, in this hot weather, as soon as they walked out of the examination room, they had ice drinks to drink. Back at the hotel, you can eat watermelon, blow the cool breeze, and watch TV to relax. Even three meals a day, there are people to take care of, not to mention how comfortable it is.
Three days have passed in the blink of an eye, and the college entrance examination is over after this last subject.
From four o’clock in the afternoon, Su Wan and the others were waiting at the school gate. Standing with them, there are also many parents, all around here, eagerly waiting for the babies to come out.
The midsummer sunshine is particularly savage, and even if you stand outside with an umbrella, you are still dizzy from the heat.
Mengmeng and the others are a little better. After all, they have parasols, and they also have fans and ice drinks in their hands. They can use them to fan the wind and ice their faces to relieve the heat a little.
Some parents who are not well-prepared are not as comfortable as they are. Not to mention being scorched to death by the sun above their heads, the sweat on their bodies is still dripping non-stop, sticky and uncomfortable. A pool of ice water so they can jump in and cool off.
After waiting for a long time, the bell for the end of the exam finally rang. The parents were shocked, and they stretched their necks and looked at the school gate.
One after another, students appeared at the school gate. Erwa ran the fastest. With the exam bag in his hand, he ran to Su Wan like a fly.
“Mom, sister, I’ve finished the exam!”
Erwa is like a wild bird out of a cage, he bared his white teeth and kept laughing, and said hello to Yang Xiaojuan, “Auntie, your brother Rui is right behind, I saw him just now. .”
“Don’t shout so loudly, I’m here.” Brother Rui’s voice sounded almost at the same time.
He walked quickly to Mengmeng, took the umbrella in her hand and said, “Sister, it’s too sunny outside, let’s go quickly.”
Erwa nodded abruptly, “Yes, yes, the sun is killing people, let’s go back quickly, I’m about to faint from hunger.”
The group of five went to the restaurant next door to eat. Mengmeng finally had the opportunity to ask her curiosity. She didn’t dare to speak for the past two days, for fear of disturbing her second brother. Now that they have all finished their exams, she Of course you have to ask.
“Second brother, how was your test?”
Erwa swallowed the meal whole and said cheerfully, “Hey hey, I feel pretty good. Before the exam, Brother Rui asked me to review, and there were many questions, and he guessed them all. I was in the exam room, and every answer was accurate. Son. This time, Tsinghua University and Peking University are all waving to me.”
He was telling the truth, but unfortunately his tone was so exaggerated that Su Wan couldn’t believe it.
She said suspiciously, “You are bragging about not writing drafts. Brother Rui, it is possible to be admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University. Well, I am satisfied that you can pass the test like your elder brother.”
Knowing her son Mo Ruomu, not to mention that Su Wan is still a teacher, of course she knows Erwa’s level, she only thinks he is bragging, not taking it seriously at all.
She felt that it was unreliable to ask Erwa, so she asked Brother Rui, “Are the questions in your exam difficult? Can you answer them all?”
Brother Rui thought about it carefully, and then said, “Auntie, I think the difficulty is average, and the math is a little more difficult. I see that some people have blanks on the test paper, and they should not have finished the questions.”
When he said that, Su Wan felt confident, she smiled and comforted them and said, “You have all finished the exam, don’t think about it anymore, spend this summer well, and wait for going to university. Oh yes, Brother Rui. Son, what school did you apply for?”
Brother Rui didn’t know how to answer, he suddenly stopped, at this moment, he turned his attention to Mengmeng, and then turned to Su Wan and said, “Auntie, the results haven’t come out yet, I’m afraid to say it. Let everyone laugh, let’s not talk about it.”
He was so shy, and even a little embarrassed, Su Wan took it for granted that he had applied for Tsinghua or Peking University.
She looked at Brother Rui with a good temper and said, “Okay, auntie don’t ask.”
In fact, even if Brother Rui didn’t say it, Su Wan knew that in the end it was either Tsinghua University or Peking University.
Because Brother Rui’s previous grades were really good, he won the first place in the city in both models, and he got full marks in several subjects. Such students are definitely good candidates for admission to Tsinghua University and Peking University.
She is not the only one who thinks so, many people in Taoyuan Village think so, even the old Zhang family are full of confidence in Rui Ge’er’s achievements.
Recently, they have nothing to do, and they are all guessing about Brother Rui’s grades. This is the seed player in their Taoyuan Village who is most likely to be admitted to a good university. Everyone said that he must be able to do better than the old baby.
