Chapter 224 There is only one bank at present

"I'm full." Xu Lang said angrily.

Lao Jin clicked his tongue, "It's because I'm not brave enough to break through my defenses so easily..."

Teacher Zhang put down the tea box in his hand and reached for the briefcase at his feet, "Huo Ming is here. I was thinking of looking for you. Come and sign..."

Qiu Huoming walked over calmly, "Teacher Zhang, what are you signing?"

"Your royalties were originally going to be wired to you, but since you are also in Yangcheng, I'll bring them over to save some money."

Teacher Zhang opened a notebook, reached out and touched his chest, and took out a pen from his jacket pocket.

Qiu Huoming took the book and took a look. It was an account book. The amount on it was 823 yuan. His eyebrows jumped. He must have opened a treasury in the past few days and made a lot of money.

After signing his name, Teacher Zhang took out a bulging envelope and handed it to Qiu Huoming, "Check it yourself."

Zhao Jiamin sat next to Lao Jin and said with a smile: "What else did you write? Let me read your masterpiece."

"It's the same martial arts novel I mentioned last time. The content is all in my head. I'll read it to you and save money on buying magazines..."

"That won't work. If you don't buy the magazine, how can our editorial department pay wages?" Teacher Zhang vetoed it.

Xu Lang raised his eyebrows, "With so much money, how many words did you write?"

"The long story is almost over." Qiu Huoming took the envelope without counting it and stuffed it directly into the mezzanine of the backpack.

"I suggest you deposit the money in the bank. It's not safe to store cash in your dormitory. If you lose it, you won't be able to find it anywhere..." Lao Jin suggested.

Qiu Huoming was moved. After coming here for so long, he had never thought that he could still deposit money in a bank. In his impression, it would not be possible to deposit money at the post office until the mid-80s.

I probably remembered it wrong.

"Which bank to deposit in?" Qiu Huoming asked smoothly.

Lao Jin was stunned for a moment and then understood, "You just arrived in Yangcheng this year. It's normal not to know. Of course it's the Bank of China. It's right next to the Workers' Hospital on Jiefang Road. You just moved here this year..."

Xu Lang said: "Jiefang Road, Pearl River North, you can make small deposits and withdrawals, and there is also a lottery. If you find it troublesome, you can also choose to buy some treasury bills..."

Lao Jin smiled and said: "How many treasury bills have you distributed this year? Our department has distributed a lot. They thought they had squeezed the money into it and couldn't get it for urgent needs. They all belong to me. I can feed myself and the whole family is not hungry. They all eat in."

"You think you are doing a good deed?" Xu Lang sneered.

"It's better than some people who suppress other people's courage and win certificates without sending them..." Lao Jin was not to be outdone.

"Am I holding back? I'm afraid that young people don't know how to advance or retreat."

Xu Lang said halfway, turned to look at Qiu Huoming and explained: "I originally wanted to give you the honor, but I didn't expect that something happened to you. I know the importance of reputation to a person, so I gave it to you. Put it back."

"If you hadn't suppressed him, this wouldn't have happened to him."

"If he doesn't experience this, how can he know the conditions of the world?"

"I was following along originally, but now that you've forced me to do so, it's been a rough and tumble process..."

……

Qiu Huoming looked around and didn't dare to interrupt.

Lao Pan had almost taken care of Xiao Bai now. He let go of his hand and let Xiao Bai jump down. He raised his head and said with a smile: "Don't go too far. We were just talking about depositing money in the bank."

"Once you need money urgently, you can't withdraw treasury bills. It's safer to deposit them in a bank."

“The interest on Treasury bills is high, why would a student want to withdraw money?”

"..."

After a while, the two people started fighting again.

Qiu Huoming listened silently.

I also learned some knowledge about banks.

Among the four major banks in the future, there are currently only Bank of China and Agricultural Bank of China. Agricultural Bank of China is not open to cities, while ICBC and China Construction Bank have no trace at the moment.

Even in the prosperous first-tier city of Yangcheng, there is only one Bank of China, not to mention my own small county, so I can be forgiven for not knowing.

Teacher Zhang was used to hearing their bickering, so he made tea by himself and pushed a cup to Qiu Huoming.

"Huo Ming, what are you going to do?" He asked directly, leaving the two people aside.

Qiu Huoming came back to his senses, thanked him first, and then responded: "I think it's better to deposit it in the bank."

Lao Pan made the final decision, "Then deposit it in the bank. I haven't gotten off work yet. There are bicycles in the yard. You can ride there."

"Okay." Qiu Huoming drank the cup of hot tea, then stood up and took the car key handed over by Lao Pan.

It's not far to ride here, only ten minutes away.

"Let me go with you. I want to buy something." Zhao Jiamin stood up.

"Is the money enough?" Lao Jin asked without stopping.

"That's enough. My uncle gave me 40 yuan last time, but I haven't used it yet."

Zhao Jiamin answered honestly.

Lao Pan smiled and said, "It's great to have an uncle. Xiao Min, I forgot to ask you. Did Jinxiu encounter any trouble at the Canton Fair these days?"

"She has a good personality and everyone likes her."

"That's good. I'll go see her another day. This child has grown up as soon as she said she would grow up. These days go by too fast..."

Listening to his tone, he felt a little disappointed.

Qiu Huoming said hello and left the tea room with Zhao Jiamin one after another.

He found the bicycle that Lao Pan mentioned in the backyard.

The car was parked under the awning, and the tires were a little flat. He dug out a pump from the debris and filled the tires with air. Then he took a rag and wiped the car body.

Zhao Jiamin was busy in the kitchen for a while, and when she came out she was holding a cloth bag with a bulging bag inside.

"What did you bring?" Qiu Huoming asked.

"Don't tell you."

"Tsk, tsk, woman."

He pushed the bicycle to the park entrance with Zhao Jiamin, then glided slightly and lifted his feet to get on the bicycle. Zhao Jiamin jogged a few steps and sat lightly on the back seat of the bicycle.

"Sit tight, I'm speeding up."

Qiu Huoming smiled and said: "If you are afraid, just hold on to my clothes."

"It's not unusual..." Zhao Jiamin reached out from the back seat and patted his back, "Don't ride too fast."

"Okay, Qiu Tour Guide will definitely accomplish his mission..."

The two of them were chatting while riding their bikes. Although the sun was hot at the moment, it was already autumn and the river breeze was blowing, so it didn't feel hot.

Qiu Huoming rode his bicycle directly from Donghu Road to Yanjiang Road, passing by the food stall where they had eaten.

It is afternoon now, and this road is not yet busy. With the help of the sun, Qiu Huoming can see the oil stains on the road. There are food stalls here, and the business is booming.

No matter how much we clean, the oil stain still cannot be cleaned away.

Not far away, there were two cleaners sitting in the shade of the trees, talking to each other. Next to them was a cart with a shallow pile of fallen leaves. Two large brooms, one covering the cart and the other propped up next to it, were sitting there. On the trunk of the banyan tree, there is still a pile of fallen leaves on the ground that have not been dealt with.

The feeling during the day is completely different from that at night. During the day, the road along the river looks particularly old. The river water illuminated by the sun has silver ripples, and there are many ships docked nearby.

There are several simple docks along the river. There are boatmen squatting on the bluestone slabs, washing clothes. The sound of the hammers has a special charm and can be heard far away.

When Qiu Huoming pedaled his bicycle, he felt like he was back in a small county town, riding on Dongmen Street. It was like a county town several times bigger.

After riding this section of road, the feeling is completely different.

The bustling urban style hits you in the face. On the north side of the Pearl River, there are tall buildings and crowds of people on the road.

At that time, there were only two cross-river bridges in the entire Guangzhou, namely the People's Bridge and the Pearl River Bridge. In the future, there will also be a Liberation Bridge here, but it will not be until 16 years later.

Qiu Huoming turned a corner onto the main road.

"Amin, what do you want to buy? I'll send you there. I'll pick you up after I finish my work." Qiu Huoming asked.

"Just go to the bank entrance, and I'll buy sugar water in the alley next to it."

"Do I have a share?"

Zhao Jiamin clapped the bag on his hand, and there was a buzzing sound in the bag. "Did you see it? I'll pack it."

Only then did Qiu Huoming understand that she came out with a soup pot.

"This sugar water is very famous. You will know it when you drink it..."

Zhao Jiamin held the cloth bag and raised his hand, "Let's go, hurry up and do the work."

"okay."

Qiu Huoming parked the car directly at the door of the bank, locked it, and walked in quickly.

This is a 4-story small Western-style building with a white exterior wall that looks quite European-style.

There is a sign hanging above the main entrance.

The bank lobby is on the first floor.

Qiu Huoming filled out the form and found a seat to sit down. There were not many people inside, so he didn't wait long before it was his turn.

After asking the teller, there are currently two deposit methods. One is lump sum deposit, which matures in one year. This kind of interest is stable and the interest rate is high;

The other is fixed-term and current bonus savings, which are anonymous and do not report losses. Once lost, they are lost. The advantage is that the lottery is drawn once every quarter, and you can get all the bonuses after three months of depositing.

It also depends on luck, no one can say whether you will win or not.

"Comrade, I have bonus savings." Qiu Huoming handed the envelope to the counter along with the form he just filled out.

This is the same as keeping cash on your body, it is anonymous, but if you put it in the bank, you will not only get interest, but you may also win a prize, so it is naturally Qiu Huoming's first choice.

To make a lump sum withdrawal, he needs to deposit a sum of money every month for a full year, which is too troublesome for him.

The teller skillfully counted the amount, took several savings slips, tore up several sheets, checked the amount again, then gathered them together and handed them to Qiu Huoming.

"Wish you a win."

Qiu Huoming took the order and said with a wide smile, "Thank you."

After putting away these lists, Qiu Huoming walked out quickly.

There are more clouds in the sky, and the sunlight at this moment is blocked by the clouds, making the whole world a shade darker.

Qiu Huoming pushed his bicycle and walked along the alley next to it.

There was almost no need to look for it. More than a hundred meters away, I saw a sweet water shop. Zhao Jiamin was holding a soup pot and putting it into a cloth bag.

Qiu Huoming stopped his bicycle, quickly climbed up the steps, and worked with her to stuff the soup pot into the cloth bag.

This shop looks simple, but its business is booming. People come and go in the small shop. There are two stone mills, one big and one small, near the back kitchen.

Through the door and window, you can see the river behind the house.

"What did you buy?"

"Red bean and taro, with tangerine peel added to it, it tastes really good."

Qiu Huoming pushed the car over, "Isn't it too sweet?"

"The taste is just right. You'll know when you eat it. My mother used to make it too..."

Qiu Huoming got on the car and put his feet on the ground, "Sit on first. Do you have enough strength to take it?"

Zhao Jiamin held the bag and sat in the back seat of the car, "How can I be so squeamish? I'll sit down."

"Set off……"

Qiu Huoming stepped hard and the bicycle drove forward.

There is a bluestone road in the alley, which is a bit quiet in the bustle. After riding for a long time, it became an ordinary road. On the side close to the river, there are banyan trees with well-developed root systems, which open cracks in the ground.

Qiu Huoming rode very carefully and avoided these gaps. The main road was ahead.

After turning a corner, the sun just broke through the clouds. At this moment, it seemed as if I had stepped out of the ancient times and returned to the noisy city.

In "Spring in the Xiaoyuan", Lao Jin and Xu Lang finally stopped arguing.

Lao Pan picked up the tea and took a sip. He smiled and said, "Everyone is so energetic. Why don't you help me clean the yard? You can see how desolate this place has become."

"When Huo Ming comes back, let him do the cleaning. Young people just need to be more active..." Xu Lang said.

Lao Jin snorted coldly, "You are not very old, but you are old-fashioned and have a pedantic air..."

Teacher Zhang poured tea for each of them, "I can't stop your mouths even if you drink tea."

Lao Pan stood up and said, "We've been sitting here until now. Let's go, each of us can get a guy and go to work..."

The master spoke, and the others were reluctant and had no choice but to follow suit.

"That's you. Whoever asks me to come as a guest and sweep the floor, I'll slap him in the face." Xu Lang walked to the front yard and took a broom made of bamboo branches.

Lao Jin took a palm broom and said, "I'm going to sweep the backyard."

Teacher Zhang took the rag and said, "I'll clean the kitchen."

Lao Pan held two cat bowls and said, "I'm going to feed the cats..."

As soon as he finished speaking, several people looked at him.

"Xiao Bai is going to be a father, why don't I give him some nutrition for his wife?"

This makes sense...

When Qiu Huoming returned to the "Xiaoyuan Spring", he opened the door and found that Xu Lang was burning piled leaves, holding dead branches in his hand, the fire was lingering and the smoke was floating.

The old fallen leaves in the front yard have been swept away, revealing their original colors.

Zhao Jiamin walked over holding the cloth bag.

Qiu Huoming parked the car and walked quickly to Xu Lang, "Master, just let me take care of these things."

Xu Lang raised his head and said, "It's a small matter, I don't need you to do it. I'll stretch my muscles."

Not far away, Lao Pan walked over briskly and said, "Hey, it's clean enough."

"Uncle Pan, Uncle Xu, I bought sugar water, it's still hot, why don't we go upstairs and have a bowl together?" Zhao Jiamin said with a smile.

"That's good. Lao Jin is so lucky. Hey, where's Lao Jin? Lao Jin..." Lao Pan walked quickly to the backyard with the cat bowl in his hand.

Xu Lang threw away the dead branch in his hand, "Huo Ming, help me watch the fire while I wash my hands."

Qiu Huoming took the dead branches he threw down and controlled the pile of leaves to let them burn more thoroughly.

Not long after, he heard someone calling him upstairs.

He raised his head, and Zhao Jiamin was holding the bowl, looking towards him, and said with a smile: "It's so delicious."

The uncles upstairs each shared a bowl and ate happily, completely forgetting that there was a charcoal burner in the front yard.
