Chapter 798 Guests are coming
In Jinghai City, in Wei Nong's dormitory, Wei Nong was reading a book when suddenly there was a knock on the door.
Wei Nong stood up, opened the door, and what came into view was a simple and honest face.
"Brother Zhao, today is my birthday. We don't have many friends at home, so I want to invite you to dinner and celebrate together!" Gao Qiqiang said with a smile.
Ever since Wei Nong found him a way to sell clothes, Gao Qiqiang has opened two clothing stores in Jinghai, and the two stores are next to each other.
One sells women's clothing, the other sells men's clothing. As for children's clothing, which is the most profitable, it has not yet become popular, otherwise Gao Qiqiang would have opened another children's clothing store.
The two stores employ six people, and many people come into the stores to buy clothes almost every day. The two stores can bring him nearly 100,000 yuan in revenue every month.
This was 100,000 yuan in the late 1980s, enough for the Gao family to live a very comfortable life. However, Gao Qiqiang was not the type to show off his wealth.
Moreover, with a ready-made example in front of him, he couldn't be arrogant. Since Wei Nong could give him such a way to make money, it proved that people didn't care about such petty profits at all.
Even Wei Nong naturally lived an ordinary life. What was there for him, a small upstart, to brag about? So Gao Qiqiang still looked honest now.
"Xiao Gao, how did you know I was in the dormitory?" Wei Nong asked curiously.
"Brother Zhao, today is Sunday! You don't have to go to work, and you have nowhere to go. Where else can you be if not at home?" Gao Qiqiang said with a smile.
Wei Nong also smiled. Although he had been in Jinghai for a long time, he didn't know anyone else except Gao Qiqiang, so he could only stay in the dormitory during the holidays.
"Let's go, I haven't eaten yet!" Wei Nong said with a smile.
After a while, Wei Nong and Gao Qiqiang arrived at Gao's house. As soon as they entered the house, they saw Gao Qisheng and Gao Qilan serving dishes to the dining table.
During this period, Gao Qiqiang started making money, Gao Qisheng and Gao Qilan's living conditions improved, and they became more confident and cheerful. In particular, both of them gained a lot of weight. If it weren't for seeing the changes in the two, Wei Nong wouldn't have dared to imagine that these two people used to look like bean sprouts.
"Brother Zhao, you're here!" Gao Qisheng greeted Wei Nong who came in with a smile on his face.
"Hey, you two are cooking too?" Wei Nong looked at the two of them and asked with a smile.
"I made this scrambled eggs with tomatoes!" Gao Qilan said excitedly.
"I made this fried pork with chili peppers!" Gao Qisheng said happily.
Actually, the two of them didn't know how to cook before, and everything was done by their eldest brother Gao Qiqiang. But later, after being seen by Wei Nong, he told Gao Qiqiang that according to their family's conditions, if Gao Qiqiang went on a business trip, who would cook? So it was necessary for the two younger ones to learn some home-cooked stir-fries.
So Gao Qiqiang began to consciously teach the two younger ones how to cook. The two younger ones also knew that their older brother worked very hard, so they were not opposed to learning to cook, but were very willing to learn.
After such a long period of practice, the two of them were already able to cook some home-cooked meals, which finally freed Gao Qiqiang from having to come back to cook for them when he was busy outside.
"Brother Zhao, please sit down and have your meal!" Gao Qiqiang pulled out a stool and asked Wei Nong to sit down.
"Okay, everyone sit down. Since today is your eldest brother's birthday, do you have any gifts for him?" Wei Nong looked at the two younger ones and asked curiously.
"Brother, this is a gift for you!" Gao Qilan was still young after all, and she was the first to lose her patience. She took out a suit that she had saved money to buy from the bedroom and gave it to Gao Qiqiang.
This is a black suit, and it doesn't look cheap. Although Gao Qiqiang sells clothes himself, he doesn't care about what he wears. Even though he is rich now, he wants to give his younger brothers and sisters a good life, so his clothes are very ordinary.
Gao Qilan spent three months' pocket money on this dress, a total of one hundred yuan! It can be said that it is enough to see the little girl's thoughts.
"This is a gift from me to my elder brother!" Gao Qisheng was not to be outdone and took out a box containing a silver watch.
Although Shanghai watches are domestically produced and not a very expensive brand, they are not cheap in this era if you can afford to spend three months' pocket money on them.
Gao Qiqiang's eyes became moist as he looked at the gifts his younger siblings gave him. Ever since he started earning money, he had given his younger siblings one dollar pocket money every day. He didn't expect that his younger siblings would save it all to buy him gifts.
"Xiaosheng, Xiaolan. You have used all your pocket money for the past few months to buy gifts. Don't you feel bad about it?" Gao Qiqiang asked.
"Brother, you have taken care of Xiaolan and me for so many years, getting up early and going to bed late every day without complaining about being tired. How could Xiaolan and I feel bad about such a small amount of pocket money?" Gao Qisheng said with a smile.
Gao Qiqiang looked at his younger brothers and sisters, feeling happy in his heart, and at the same time, he was grateful to Wei Nong for bringing a better life to their family!
"Xiaosheng, Xiaolan, you must remember that our family's life today is hard-earned. It is all brought to us by Brother Zhao! You must also always remember Brother Zhao's kindness, understand? He is our Gao family's great benefactor!" Gao Qiqiang said solemnly to Gao Qisheng and Gao Qilan.
"We understand, big brother!" Gao Qisheng also nodded solemnly, and at the same time, he turned around with Gao Qiqiang and bowed to Wei Nong to express his gratitude.
"Okay, this is nothing. Since today is Xiao Gao's birthday, let's just celebrate. Let's eat quickly, or the food will get cold." Wei Nong smiled and helped the two brothers up, asking them to eat quickly.
After the four of them sat down again, Gao Qiqiang picked up the wine glass and toasted Wei Nong with a glass of wine. Then they began to eat in a lively manner.
The four of them ate for almost an hour, and the meal finally ended when Gao Qiqiang fell unconscious.
After Wei Nong helped Gao Qisheng settle Gao Qiqiang, he said goodbye to the two kids and returned to the dormitory.
But when Wei Nong walked to the dormitory door, he stopped because there was someone waiting there.
"Why didn't you say hello in advance before you came? You must have been waiting for a long time, right?" Wei Nong said with a smile.
"Are you going out to drink?" the man asked with a frown.
"It's my friend's birthday, so I had a couple of drinks with him. Let's not talk about it outside, come in and sit down!" Wei Nong opened the door and let the visitor in.
The visitor walked into the room and nodded at the tidy appearance. "Not bad, not so many messy things, and it's quite clean! I thought you couldn't even clean the room when you were here alone!" The visitor said with a smile while sitting on the bed.
