Chapter 111 The Family Has a Mine and Can't Afford to Open It

The dumpling restaurant near the school is a small private room. There are only simple meals and two bottles of Erguotou on the table.

Friends don't pay attention to food and wine, as long as there are people.

Shi Lei first told about Xiuxiu.

Her father took the initiative to find Shi Lei in Wolong Village, said that Xiuxiu would not go to college, he didn't say anything, and when he got home, he seemed to be a different person, ignorant and in a daze all day long.

Shi Lei was in a hurry at the time, and hurried to Xiuxiu's house, but he didn't ask any questions, he came to Los Angeles because he really had no choice.

I thought Zhang Xiaobai would know the reason, but he didn't know the reason, and Xiuxiu didn't tell him about dropping out of school.

The three once best friends have gradually turned into strangers.

But Shi Lei was relieved that nothing happened to Xiuxiu, as long as she didn't have any accidents, that's because she couldn't adapt to the university environment for the time being.

In fact, he knows Xiuxiu very well. Although he looks indifferent and soft-tempered, he is actually quite arrogant and stubborn in his bones.

After hearing these words, Zhang Xiaobai said: "I still want to go to her house and persuade her well. Even if she doesn't study at Luo University, she can go back to another school, and she should go to university."

Shi Lei shook his head, "Don't go back, it's useless, you know Xiuxiu's temper, she won't listen to anything we say!"

Zhang Xiaobai was silent for a while, then nodded in recognition.

The two took a sip of wine, and Zhang Xiaobai asked, "What have you been doing these days?"

Shi Lei said helplessly: "I didn't do anything, I stayed at home all day, let alone me, my dad didn't even work as a contractor, he just thought about how to open the mine. He thought he was so great, and he has known each other for many years outside. A few bosses, but after contacting them, no one paid any attention to him at all."

"It was a good thing to have a mountain at home, but now it has become a burden. Not only can I not open a mine, but I don't even want to make a living."

People are like this, who can earn a lot without working hard, who would work hard to manage small fish and shrimps?

In fact, Shi Lei is a little late, if he knew his father was like this, it would be better to give the mountain bag to Li Pingyuan, so that he can make a fortune and do his own business steadily.

Zhang Xiaobai didn't expect this either, but his thinking is different from Shi Lei's. There is a mine at home, no matter what time it is, it is a fortune.

"What's the situation in our village now?"

Shi Lei took another sip of his wine and said, "Li Pingyuan has opened a mine now and hired a lot of men from our village. Liu Zhong is Li Pingyuan's lackey, a cunning fox who shows his teeth and claws all day long. By the way, that kid Liu Zhi is about to graduate I heard that I don’t plan to go outside to find a job, but go directly to work in the mine.”

Zhang Xiaobai nodded, analyzing the current situation.

Everyone in the village can ignore it, but Liu Zhi can't. Although this person is annoying, he is indeed capable.

He was able to give up the job opportunity in the big city and return to that poor mountain valley. Obviously, the prospect of mining was good, and Li Pingyuan had reserved a good position for him.

"Is Li Pingyuan's mining going smoothly? Are Liu Zhong and his son so valuable?"

Shi Lei said: "It's going well. Judging from the current situation, Li Pingyuan's strength is definitely not small, and his relationship is not ordinary. When the mine opened, there were actually many big cadres in the county. As for Liu Zhong and his son, you also know us. The village, is confirming that sentence, the mountains are high and the emperor is far away, and the poor mountains and rivers are full of troublesome people. No matter how big the officials are, they are not afraid, but they listen to Liu Zhong's words. In addition, Liu Zhi is behind the scenes, and the people in the village are good. very."

Zhang Xiaobai nodded, deeply convinced.

In this case, Li Pingyuan can win the top and bottom, and the mine will definitely go smoothly.

"Then what are my uncle's plans?"

Shi Lei said: "What other plans are there? Let's find someone to invest in mining. He can't do other things now, but I'm not sure. I guess the mountain will fall into Li Pingyuan's hands in the end."

Zhang Xiaobai said seriously: "No, you must persevere, and you can't sell the mountain unless you have to."

Shi Lei smiled and said: "It's difficult! Do you know what my dad cares most about? It's the title of the richest man in Wolong Village. If this continues, sooner or later the Liu family will take it. Can he accept it?"

Although Shi Lei said it would be sooner or later, he knew in his heart that the Liu family's family might be bigger than his own now.

Although Liu Zhong is domineering and domineering, he never leaks money and has always kept a low profile about his family business.

Zhang Xiaobai sighed, if this is the case, I am afraid that Li Pingyuan will really take advantage of it, and his original efforts will be in vain.

Suddenly thought of something, Zhang Xiaobai hurriedly asked: "Is that big willow tree in my house still there?"

Back then, when he married Li Pingyuan, who knew what that rich and heartless bastard could do.

Shi Lei smiled and said: "Don't worry, he is busy mining to make money now, so he has no time to take care of that tree."

Only then did Zhang Xiaobai feel relieved, the willow tree was the only thing left when the home was gone, and if there was no more, there would be nothing left.

Grandma once said that the tree represents our family, as long as the tree is there, the family will not fall.

Shi Lei suddenly looked at Zhang Xiaobai mysteriously, and said with a smile, "Do you want to know about Su Tong?"

The two of them talked about everything, Zhang Xiaobai told Shi Lei when he first started to love Su Tong.

Zhang Xiaobai shook his head, "Forget it, I don't want to know, now that I have a girlfriend, why do I miss her?"

Even though he said that, there was a voice in his heart that was also talking, where is Su Tong? She clearly knew that I was admitted to this school, why didn't she come to see me? Not even a letter.

Shi Lei seemed to have heard that voice, and said: "At the end of last year, Su Tong's family moved their ancestral grave to the dragon head of Qinglong Mountain, and many people came. Su Tong's father once asked about you, and I said you went to Luo University to study. Yes, the old man said you are amazing!"

"Then I asked Su Tong again. It turned out that he went abroad to study in the United States. If you want to contact him, I will ask them next time when they worship their ancestors."

Zhang Xiaobai didn't seem to hear Shi Lei's last words, his mind was full of that figure, and he finally shook his head vigorously before shaking off that person.

It seems that it is not easy to forget someone.

If you go abroad, go abroad. With her talent, no matter where she is, she is the best one.

The two brothers drank a bottle of wine and chatted until after ten o'clock before returning to the dormitory.

Zhang Xiaobai originally planned to share the bed with Shi Lei, but Cheng Feng said he wanted to go out to live, seeing his cheap expression, he knew he must have found another girl.

Zhang Xiaobai said: "I have to go to tutoring tomorrow, you three brothers have a good time with Shitou, let's have a big drink tonight."

In the end, the four of them continued to chat until the middle of the night.
