why do you like me

034 Past ②

Jiang Chuan stayed here alone for almost two weeks.

It is not the busy season for farming, there are no people in the fields, and the nearby houses are all dilapidated, and no one will approach them.At first, Jiang Chuan was a little scared. After crying for a while, he felt bored, so he stopped thinking about it. He squatted in the corner and demolished the house, cursing as he demolished it: "Jiang Guodong, I love you."

This swear word was learned by him, and he was beaten up by Jin Min.But at this moment, no matter how hard Jiang Chuan pouted his ass, Jin Min couldn't beat him anymore.

There is a river near the houses, which is very dirty, with rotten reed leaves covering the river, and a pile of garbage on the bank.Some plastic beverage bottles were not burned clean, and the remaining parts could be seen to have been cut by someone, and there were strange straws stuck to them.Jiang Chuan turned the house upside down, but did not find half a bottle of drink.

There is no refrigerator in the kitchen, but there are rice and eggs, and there are a few neatly arranged Chinese cabbage under the table, complete with sauces.Jiang Chuan is not picky about food, but he was stuffed with eggs all day long, and his whole body smelled like chicken shit. He picked up Chinese cabbage and began to think about making something else.

Jiang Chuan himself didn't count the days, but he only remembered the day when he was about to spoil all the cabbage, when he heard the sound of a car shaking in his sleep, he suddenly opened his eyes and ran out.In the early morning when the sky was still dark, Nan Xiangjun held onto the back cover of the car to pick up something, a little shocked: "You, how long have you been here?"

Jiang Chuan: "I never left."

They were driving a Chevrolet with foreign license plates. The dealer got out and raised his eyebrows in surprise.Jiang Chuan walked over, "Where's my father?"

At the bottom of the wall are plastic bottles filled with water, colorfully colored, and the bottles were picked up by Jiang Chuan from the garbage dump by the river.Nan Xiangjun saw it and cursed in horror: "Come here, boy! Where the hell did you get it? Did you touch it in your mouth?"

Jiang Chuan rolled his eyes: "I picked it up, why should I put it in my mouth, there is a ladle for drinking water in the kitchen."

The croupier picked him up and put him on the roof of the car, frowned and muttered, "You're all rotten."

Nan Xiangjun checked the inside and outside of the house.Before he left, he cut off the power, and cleaned up everything that should be cleaned up, only the kitchen was messed up by Jiang Chuan.He breathed a sigh of relief, walked to the side of the car and said, "Xi Yun, please stay here for a while, I'll take this brat back."

"I'll give it to you." The croupier named Xi Yun said lightly, "I don't want to wait for anyone."

Nan Xiangjun: "You are not familiar with the road."

Xi Yun: "The road will still go."

He is indeed not one to wait for others, and Jiang Chuan has made the house like this and needs to clean it up again. Nan Xiangjun stopped forcing him and said, "That's good. You can turn around and go home to fix the pond. When you reach the mouth of Xitang, let Chizi will send this child home, don’t go.”

Xi Yun smiled: "You are really kind to your son."

It didn't even arrive at five o'clock, and Nan Xichi was still eating chicken legs in his dream when Xi Yun picked him up from the bed.He was stuffed into the car by Xi Yun, muttering "my chicken leg", Jiang Chuan rushed over excitedly.

Nan Xichi couldn't dodge in time, and was thrown into his arms by a stinking river in a small space, and almost vomited out the chicken legs in his dream.Jiang Chuan looked at him with bright eyes: "Where is the chicken leg?"

Nan Xichi & Xi Yun: "..."

The road back to Xitangkou is very long, and Xi Yun is not familiar with the road.He didn't even ask for the way, just drove straight ahead, turned left when he saw a fork in the road, and turned back after driving a long way.

There was originally a large suitcase on the back seat, but it was opened by the extremely bored Jiang Chuan.All kinds of gambling tools, he only knows dice and playing cards.He grabbed Nan Xichi's clothes, sent the playing cards over, and said, "Let's play."

Xi Yun glanced at him in the rearview mirror, and suddenly said, "How did you guess the card that day?"

Jiang Chuan: "I can tell."

Xi Yun patted the co-pilot's seat, "Come here."

Jiang Chuan crawled over.The man took out another deck of cards from nowhere, which was different from other cards, with simple and delicate patterns on the back.A little old, but the corners are neat and not rolled up.With his left hand resting on the steering wheel, his right hand shuffled the cards casually. After the shuffling was done, he randomly pulled out a card and stretched it out in front of Jiang Chuan: "How many cards can you tell?"

Jiang Chuan shook his head.

Xi Yun randomly drew another card, "Which one is bigger?"

Jiang Chuan pointed to one of them.

Xi Yun turned the two cards over and raised his eyebrows: "2 is bigger than A?"

Jiang Chuan was confident: "Doudi Zhu 2 is the biggest!"

Xi Yun chuckled: "You idiot."

He also has a cool feeling when he smiles, cold and far away from everything.The two played cards all the way, and finally Nan Xiangjun called and asked, "Have you found the way?" Xi Yun stopped thinking about playing with Jiang Chuan and accelerated to Xitangkou.

Seeing someone from a distance, he stopped the car, threw a few banknotes to Nan Xichi, and said, "Find a tricycle to take this kid home. There is a chicken leg seller on the way, so buy some. You two eat it. Um?"

When he arrived at a familiar place, Jiang Chuan jumped off the tricycle. He hooked his fingers at Nan Xichi who was puzzled, and said, "Come down quickly, let's go buy chicken legs!"

This year, Nan Xichi was eight years old, and his eyebrows and eyes were somewhat similar to those of Nan Xiangjun, probably because of the child, he was more handsome.He followed the five-year-old Jiang Chuan in the alleys of Xitangkou, buying whatever delicious food he saw, and finally forgot that Xi Yun was still waiting for him.

When he remembered, leaving Jiang Chuan behind and running back, Xi Yun's car had already left.

Nan Xichi: "..."

Nan Xichi was a little wronged, but he didn't cry, and wanted to go back to Jiang Chuan.After walking for a while, I saw a group of noisy adults facing me, one of them was holding Jiang Chuan in his arms.

Jiang Chuan shouted when he saw Nan Xichi: "He sent me back!"

Nan Xichi: "..."

This group of adults surrounded Nanxi Pool.Jiang Li was short-tempered and slippery. She bent down and asked Nan Xichi a series of questions: "Which family do you belong to? What's your name? Where did you see Chuanzi?"

Crackling, hitting eight-year-old Nan Xichi in a daze.

Jiang Chuan shouted: "We bought chicken legs together!"

Nan Xichi knew Xi Yun's identity, but he would not reveal it in front of strangers.Jiang Chuan, this idiot, doesn't know anything, he can't even tell where he is staying, and now his mind is full of food and drink, and Jiang Guodong will die by the way.

In the past ten days, Jiang Guodong also had a miserable life.After finally bringing the baby once, the baby was taken away.Jin Min was also angry, but his temper was a little softer, and Jiang Li was more anxious than anyone else. Seeing Jiang Guodong, he beat and scolded: "Chuanzi didn't fall out of your stomach, so you wouldn't feel bad, would you?"

Jiang Guodong was so beaten up that he almost rolled on the ground.He was chased by Jin Min's natal family all day to have a child, so he couldn't sneak away to the gambling house alone, and felt that there were so many people that day, Jiang Chuan would not stay there alone, he must have followed someone.

Thank goodness Jiang Chuan is back, but Jiang Guodong still owes 2 yuan, and he won't be allowed to play at the gambling table until he gets the money.

At this time, Jiang Guodong has not lost his job, but the salary is very low, and there is not enough for one game on the gambling table.He stayed in peace for a few days, and when the incident of losing Jiang Chuan and angering the whole family subsided, he thought about gambling again.

After getting a sum of money from the public account by beating around the bush, Jiang Guodong got in touch with Xi Yun's people again.His poker luck has always been poor, and he was very impulsive, losing everything in a few moves.There is a boss in charge of the private casino, and the rules are very strict.Jiang Guodong owed a debt again. He couldn't get on the gambling table and was reluctant to leave, so he just watched from the side.

When it was over, Xi Yun glanced at him, and suddenly said: "Next time you bring your son over here, I will give you [-] yuan."

When Jiang Chuan came back again, he carried a box of fried chicken in his arms, and shouted at Nan Xiangjun, "Where is Chizi, I brought chicken legs."

All fried food is chicken drumsticks here in Jiangchuan.

Nan Xiangjun looked at him: "This place is not for children."

Xi Yun looked over: "I want him to come."

Nan Xiangjun shut up and turned into the kitchen.Jiang Chuan followed, grabbed a piece of fried chicken in his hand, then held up the rest to Nan Xiangjun, and said, "Then you bring it to Chizi, just say I gave it to him, I want to play with him Son."

... This kid is really big, and he became a brother after meeting him once.

Nan Xiangjun glanced at the color of the fried chicken, and said, "Boy, this fried chicken is not as good as the one I made."

Jiang Chuan gnawed on the fried chicken, and said silently: "Just talk and don't practice fake moves."

"Hey!" Nan Xiangjun cheered up, "Where did you learn cross talk, kid?"

After Jiang Guodong brought Jiang Chuan over, Xi Yun didn't immediately pay attention to Jiang Chuan, and Jiang Chuan surrounded the Nan Xiang Army who didn't do anything except cook.Nan Xiangjun was also in a hurry, so he really went to get some chicken legs and chicken breasts, and it exploded.

Jiang Chuan sat on the table and ate happily, and said dog-leggedly: "Uncle, your cooking is really delicious. I will never eat other people's food again, and I will eat uncle's."

Nan Xiangjun smiled complacently: "You're cheating on me."

Jiang Chuan came here often.

Every time Jiang Guodong came with Jiang Chuan, Xi Yun gave Jiang Guodong 2 yuan without saying why.Jiang Guodong didn't understand either, but as long as he had the money to play a few more games at the gambling table, he didn't care why Xi Yun did it.Xi Yun also ignored Jiang Chuan, except that he was not allowed to enter the room that was often smoky, and he did whatever Jiang Chuan did.

Of course, keep your mouth shut when watching the game.

Because this place is really boring, and Jiang Chuan can't focus on one thing for a long time. After helping Nan Xiangjun to cook, he slipped to the gaming table to take a look. The more he looked, the more boring he felt— —For him, judging the size of the cards is really a very simple matter. I don't know how this group of people can play for so long.

When you're bored, go to the kitchen to find Nan Xiangjun, thinking of some weird food for Nan Xiangjun to make.Except in front of Xi Yun, Nan Xiangjun had a temper with everyone, and when he got impatient, he threw Jiang Chuan off his arm and said, "Do it yourself."

Jiang Chuan hurriedly climbed onto the stove.

Suddenly one day, Jiang Guodong won several games in a row.

Jiang Chuan didn't know how much money Jiang Guodong made that day, but he only remembered that Xi Yun said to Jiang Guodong in that cold tone after they left: "It's a lot of money, and the 'principal' knows it too, you will... You don't have to come."

It is a kind of benevolent advice to accept as soon as you see it.But gambling is such a thing, there are really few people who can do this four words.Jiang Guodong filled in the gaps in the previous public accounts, and after a while of high spirits, he bought a bunch of gold jewelry for Jin Min. The relationship between husband and wife has been eased to the greatest extent in the past six months.

Before the money was squandered, Jiang Guodong couldn't hold back his desire to go to the gambling table.

People who gamble believe in lottery.Jiang Guodong felt that he could turn around from time to time because Jiang Chuan was by his side to suck his luck.So when he passed by again, he brought Jiang Chuan with him.

Jiang Chuan likes to stay next to Xi Yun.Xi Yun's perspective is the best. He can see the overall situation and has a sense of planning.At this time, a year had passed, and Jiang Chuan's stature suddenly jumped a head, and he no longer needed to stand on tiptoe to watch the poker table.

Going to the gambling table again, Jiang Guodong didn't bet alongside him, but was a player.At first, he was very confident, and every deal was not a small sum, and he couldn't hide his pride after winning two.If the game continued, the situation suddenly took a turn for the worse. The dealer won consecutively, and Jiang Guodong was about to lose his cards.

Jiang Chuan could tell whether he was winning or losing, but he didn't know the rules, let alone the amount of money that went into each bet.He stared blankly at Xi Yun, and then at Jiang Guodong, because he remembered Xi Yun's sentence "If you say one more word next to me, I'll just cut off your mouth and fry it", so he turned and ran into the kitchen, Nan Xiangjun, who was eating melon seeds, said, "Why is the uncle playing cards bullying my dad all the time today?"

Nan Xiangjun stood up, slammed the door shut, looked at Jiang Chuan who was looking up at him, and said, "You are staying in the kitchen today, you are not allowed to go anywhere."
