Infinite Throne

"By the way, I want to stay with you for a while." Zhang Xiaogang was picky in his heart but didn't show it on his face.

"What's wrong with Mr. Zhang? Are you willing to live here?" Zhang Xiaoming also knew that this brother looked down on him and only looked at money.

"I'll take care of your affairs first, and then I can leave with peace of mind. I happened to be on vacation recently, and I had a quarrel with your sister-in-law. She only knows how to support her parents' family. What woman is like her..."

Zhang Xiaogang sighed, a little irritated. They had really quarreled, not just because of this, but this reason was enough to fool Zhang Xiaoming.

"Okay, okay, okay, I understand. Brother, I understand you. It's better to be like me. I don't need to raise the child. I'll go find him when I get old. After all, he won't let me starve to death if we are connected by blood."

Zhang Xiaoming was a little proud. He felt that his life was good. His wife had given birth to a son and he didn't have to raise it by himself. He would have someone to rely on no matter what happened in the future.

"What if I don't care about you?" Zhang Xiaogang asked.

"He dares! I am his father..."

Lin Yebai heard such shameless words just after he came back. Maybe people can't see clearly and think that what they have done will not happen to them again.

"Dad, you're back so soon?" Zhang Xiaoming was surprised.

"It's raining outside." Lin Yebai reluctantly gave up his morning exercise.

"Then I'll go buy groceries. I can't sleep anyway. Let's have a good meal today." Zhang Xiaoming was worried that what he just said would be overheard by his old father, so he took an umbrella and hurried out, not daring to stay longer. He is not very short of money. He is always cheating irregular lending companies, using false documents to obtain loans, and then cashing out immediately.

But he always longed to make a lot of money, leave the city, and then appear in front of his son as a successful person. When the time comes, I will definitely buy a suit like the one Zhang Xiaogang often wears. It has the charm of a successful person.

Breakfast is rice noodles. The Qiaotou rice noodle shop downstairs has always done a good job, so Zhang Xiaoming packed three portions.

At noon, there is still a large table of dishes, including braised elbow, braised pig trotters, pork belly and chicken, Dongpo pork, chopped pepper fish, fried bacon, garlic white meat, spicy lobster, steamed pork ribs with rice flour, and a plate of peanuts and packed cold dishes. , very suitable for drinking.

Zhang Xiaoming wanted his old father to regain his good drinking habit, so he bought two boxes of Red Star Erguotou, which was still 56 degrees.

"Buy another cigarette." Zhang Xiaogang urged.

A person who often talks about business can easily become addicted to cigarettes due to work pressure. During this time, he was under unprecedented pressure and had smoked out all the cigarettes he had with him.

"Okay." In order to save money, Zhang Xiaoming bought the cheapest Double Happiness in the convenience store.

"Is there nothing else?" Zhang Xiaogang hasn't smoked such cheap cigarettes for a long time.

"Everything else is sold out." Zhang Xiaoming opened his mouth.

"It's time to eat, it's time to drink. If there is any obstacle, it will be over after just one meal." Zhang Xiaoming raised his wine glass, poured himself a glass of Red Star Erguotou, poured another glass for Zhang Xiaogang and his old father, and shouted:

"Here, let's have a drink."

Lin Yebai raised his glass and clinked it. Then pick up vegetables for my two sons, choose the fat ones, especially the heavy ones:

"Eat a piece of pig's trotters to replenish your body."

"Eat some meat, I've been busy losing weight lately." Lin Yebai looked at Zhang Xiaoming with concern.

"..." Zhang Xiaogang looked at his younger brother, who weighed at least 180 kilograms. He really couldn't see where he had lost weight. Maybe his parents always regarded children as skinny.

"You eat too, it's hard work." Lin Yebai took care of his eldest son again, picked up a piece of hairy pig's trotters and picked it up.

Zhang Xiaoming took a sip of wine and felt that the cup was not refreshing enough, so he blew on the bottle. Although the headache from the last hangover left a deep impression on him, he always felt that he should drink more.

Who is a real man if he can get drunk after two bottles of wine?

Zhang Xiaogang looked at his brother who was drinking heavily and felt that his old father was a bit strange. In the past, if Xiao Ming drank a lot, his father would scold him, saying that drinking would cause cirrhosis of the liver.

I didn’t say it today, but I’m not used to it. He subconsciously lit a cigarette for himself, and when he found his old father staring at him, he hesitated and wanted to put it out.

"Smoke, relax at home." Lin Yebai was very tolerant.

[Braised Pork Ribs]: Duanshui Master

[Messenger of Justice]: Zaizai is still very fair and treats his two sons equally well.

"Eat more." Lin Yebai served his eldest son some food and poured wine for his younger son. Seeing that Zhang Xiaogang's cigarette only had butts left, he helped light a cigarette.

"Dad, you are so talkative today."

"Live one day at a time, I'm afraid I won't have the chance to treat you well in the future." Lin Yebai said casually.

"Ahem..." Zhang Xiaogang took a big breath and coughed, but he understood in his heart that his father wanted to be nice to them. Maybe only men can understand men. If it were at home, his wife would definitely force him to put out his cigarette. How could he be as sensible as dad?

The two sons drank too much and felt their stomachs were burning. They tried their best to pick up vegetables and ate all the pig's trotters, fat meat and pickled peppers that Lin Yebai added.

"Smoke another one, Xiao Ming, you can smoke too."

Lin Yebai lit two more cigarettes and handed them over. One cigarette for each son, which was fair. The Double Happiness and Erguotou at home are still not enough.

Although the boss didn't seem to know about the danger of longevity, Lin Yebai had great confidence in him. A wise son is like a father. When the boss finds out, he will definitely make the same choice as Xiao Ming and even split the money with Xiao Ming.

Xiao Ming drank five bottles last time. As a father, he always hopes that his children can continue to grow. This time Lin Yebai hopes that he will challenge six bottles.

Xiao Gang only drank three bottles, and his drinking capacity was not as good as Xiao Ming, but he only smoked a pack of cigarettes. Xiao Ming should learn from Xiao Gang in this regard.

However, both of them are not picky eaters, and they also eat fatty meat, especially food heavy in oil and salt, which is good.

Lin Yebai looked at his two drunken sons with gentle, tolerant, appreciative and praising eyes. Seeing that they were both almost drunk, he helped open two bottles of Red Star Erguotou.

There is no problem that Erguotou cannot solve. If you still have problems, just open two more bottles.

After finishing a box of twelve bottles of braised Erguotou, Lin Yebai went to have a light lunch outside the community, then took a walk to eat, and went to the old community to meet the old neighbors and talk properly so as not to be exposed in front of his filial sons. flaw.

As the sun set, Lin Yebai finished dinner and walked home slowly with a thermos cup. The two sons were still sleeping, snoring loudly, and they looked like they were dead in sleep.

Zhang Xiaohong called.

"Dad, do you still have enough money?"

"Yingying's grades are pretty good. I want to send her to study abroad, but there's still a lot of money left. I want to raise some money."

"How much?" Lin Yebai asked.

"One hundred and fifty thousand." Zhang Xiaohong lowered her voice, feeling a little unsure.

Lin Yebai hung up the phone. Although your child's future is important, you should also look at your own financial situation. He hasn't seen Yingying yet, nor has he answered the phone. Even if she is busy studying in her senior year of high school, as a day student, doesn't Yingying know how to care about her sick grandfather?

It wasn't until night that the two sons woke up, staggered up, cleaned the room, took a bath, and went back to the room to sleep. However, they couldn't fall asleep for a while and their minds were empty.

"Go out to play?" Zhang Xiaoming suggested.

"Where?" Zhang Xiaogang asked.

"Massage and foot soak." Zhang Xiaoming smiled.

"Okay." Zhang Xiaogang has never been to a nearby health center. It would be nice to have some pleasant experiences if he could meet new friends.

"Do you want to tell dad?" Zhang Xiaogang asked.

"Just tell me to go out and meet old classmates."

"OK."

The two sons agreed and reported to Lin Yebai before going out.

Lin Yebai thought to himself, this is not bad. He underestimated Zhang Xiaoming before, and it seems that things are progressing faster than he imagined.

The two came back in the middle of the night, and Zhang Xiaogang seemed a little angry.

"Why are you angry? Isn't it the same when the lights are turned off?"

"The quality is too bad. I'll show you the world tomorrow." Zhang Xiaogang sighed.

"Fifty yuan is pretty good." Zhang Xiaoming sighed, but then smiled: "There are also eighty yuan ones. Maybe we can catch up next time. They are prettier than the fifty yuan ones. It's too expensive to stay overnight. , it’s still a good deal to come back.”

"Stop, I think it hurts my health." Zhang Xiaogang was a little resistant, maybe because he was not used to the quality here. You get what you pay for, which is true most of the time.

"It's harmful. It hurts my body. I just took off my pants and you were slower than me. Are you still wearing a belt?" Zhang Xiaoming cruelly exposed Zhang Xiaogang's disguise. He said no, but his body was very honest.

The two complained to each other and went back to the room. Lin Yebai quietly listened to the exchange between the two. He always felt light-headed, but it didn't matter whether he slept or not. This was just a world formed by curses, and eliminating resentment was the first priority.

The bed in the second bedroom was smaller, and no one wanted to squeeze into the same bed with his old father. Both sons slept in Zhang Xiaoming's room.

When Zhang Xiaogang lifted the quilt, he accidentally lifted the quilt too, revealing the paper material inside.

"Insurance, are you going to buy insurance for my dad?" Zhang Xiaogang was very surprised. In his eyes, Xiao Ming was the most unfilial person in the family.

"Keep your voice down, why can't you buy insurance? Give it back to me."

"What kind of insurance is this? This is not at all..."

"Give it back to me, don't break it!" Zhang Xiaoming wanted to take it back, but Zhang Xiaogang was a head taller than him, hiding and watching.

"You...how dare you do such a thing, are you still a human being?" Zhang Xiaogang was extremely shocked and a little angry, but his blood flow accelerated and even his heart beat harder. He looked at that amount and seemed to see his own bright future, and was slightly distracted.

"Don't tell dad, I'll give you half." Zhang Xiaoming lowered his voice.

"Who else knows?" Zhang Xiaogang asked.

"Second sister also knows." Zhang Xiaoming's voice was very low.

"We will share 40% and she will share 20%. If she doesn't want it, we will share it equally." Zhang Xiaogang quickly planned it.

"Sure. But don't let our dad know. Recently, let our dad eat better, eat big fish and meat, smoke and drink." Zhang Xiaoming nodded and told his plan.

"Okay." Zhang Xiaogang nodded, couldn't help but light a cigarette, and didn't notice the ashes falling on his hand.

That amount of money can just fill the hole, and no one will know. Dad's health was not good and he had surgery, so he couldn't survive for long. He was well-fed, well-served, and cared for by his two sons, which was a blessing.

After smoking a cigarette, he completely calmed down, with mixed feelings in his heart, but he acquiesced to Zhang Xiaoming's actions.

Lin Yebai heard clearly from next door. Now he wants to buy more Red Star Erguotou and Double Happiness cigarettes. Now that he has two sons to support, the financial pressure is a bit high.

But as a father, this is what he should do.
