Lou Cheng: Upstairs from the city
Work related (3)
A little embarrassing, "Put it in the freezer and freeze it, it can be eaten for a long time."
"Alright, save time for cooking. The company is going to have an annual meeting, starting tomorrow, you go to the logistics department to help."Mr. Ming turned around and went back to his study, and gave a hand. Looking at his back, he looked a little like a retired veteran cadre.
Cleaning the table, he will never do it.
"Oh, by the way, I will ask Xiao Guo to get a salary card tomorrow, and you will pay half of it for the family in the future."
...? !
Ah Cheng turned his head and stared fiercely at the slowly closing door. Who can tell him how much his salary is!On the first day he joined Ming's, the money in his pocket was taken into consideration by the boss. Besides, he didn't have any money in his pocket. "The richer you are, the more stingy you are!"
Mingcheng Children's Shoes, your way of thinking about problems is indeed different from ordinary people... The word "household" has many ambiguities.
There is nothing better than dumplings.
Chives and fennel are the two main ingredients for eating dumplings in North China.It is said that those who eat leeks do not eat fennel, and those who eat fennel do not eat leeks. Mr. Ming is a special case.
As long as it tastes good, he is not picky about food.
Dumpling wine, the more you drink, the better.
The "stingy" Mr. Ming opened a bottle of 52-degree Red Star Erguotou, and the porcelain bottle was blue and white with white flowers on a blue background.The most expensive kind of Erguotou, the wine container is blue and white porcelain with blue flowers on a white background, but Mr. Ke Ming disliked the shape of the amphora because it was neither earthy nor foreign, neither fish nor fowl, so he put it on the shelf.
When drinking baijiu, Ming Lou prefers Erguotou and Moutai, and Lebanese white wine is his favorite among foreign wines.
"From now on, let's have dinner together," ordered the head of household Ming, and sat in the main seat, looking like the old man of a big landlord's house.Mingcheng fetched the bowls and chopsticks and sat on his left hand, which was near the kitchen.
When eating dumplings, garlic is an excellent auxiliary material, that is, the taste is stronger than that of leeks.
Ah Cheng brought another plate of Laba garlic, which he marinated himself.
Put the peeled garlic cloves into the jar, pour vinegar, seal it and store it in a cool place. After 20 days, the garlic soaked in vinegar is green all over, like emerald jasper. It is the perfect match for eating dumplings and fried noodles.
Laba garlic has garlic fragrance but no spicy taste, which can relieve greasy and fishy smell. In addition, the garlic smell left in the mouth after eating is very little, so it will not smoke others.
The dumplings are like human beings. The dumplings made by Chef Ming are neat, white and fat, and they look very attractive.
Ah Cheng pours the wine, and the only thing Mr. Ming needs to do is...eating and drinking.
Having enough food and wine is one of the great blessings in life.
Mr. Ming stood in front of the window, unable to say a word: I ate too much...
"Fennel" sounds the same as "return to hometown". It is often used to make dumplings in North China, but southerners don't eat it.
Back home, where is my hometown?
"Sir, let's have a cup of tea." Ah Cheng entered the door with a teacup.
It's rare that both of them are standing.
Outside the window, there is a bleak winter season.
To the north, you can have a panoramic view of the brilliant night view of China World Trade Center.
"Zhou Damin in the logistics department is very demanding. You will have to work hard with him." Mr. Ming was a little distressed when he had to stand up for it, "The logistics department seems to be a place for doing odd jobs. Will despise, you go, be humble."
"I understand." Ah Cheng stood up straight. He didn't eat much for dinner. The employer in front of him really could eat, wouldn't he hold on?A Cheng was suspicious, "Director Zhou, he is very funny."
"Crouching tigers, hidden dragons in the company, there are many people with backgrounds, so there is nothing to do. But you have to remember that you don't have to be polite when you encounter those who make trouble. Men, there must always be a bit of blood."
"……knew".The bosses he met before would only make him suffer blindly, but Mr. Ming...why treat him so well..."Sir, what can I do?"
"Will you find a woman to marry?" Mr. Ming suddenly attacked.
"No", Ah Cheng knew his problem. He was harmed by others, but he didn't want to harm others.
"I do not know either".
"..."
"I have a son who is three years old in France. In the future, the Ming family will belong to him." Ming Lou put down his teacup, leaned half against the desk, folded his legs, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and pretended to be small, " In this family, there will be no mistress in the future."
Ah Cheng couldn't understand, obviously he knew the meaning of every word, but he just couldn't understand, Mr. Ming, why did you tell him this...
"I don't understand, right? It's okay, the days are still long." Ming Lou stretched out his right hand, "A Cheng, the Ming family welcomes you", it is "Ming family", not "Ming family".
Holding hands together, what Ah Cheng felt was the temperature, the other's big hand was warm and powerful.
Chapter 11
December 12st is the last day of the Gregorian calendar.
In the afternoon, Ming Cheng accompanied Ming Lou back to the old house in the courtyard. The euphemistic name is that the old house needs a chef.
Obviously Ah Xiang is also very good at cooking.
At six o'clock in the evening, dinner is on time.
The feast presented by the two chefs is really extraordinary.
Ming Zhai ate hot pot tonight.The four of them, Mingzheng and Axiang like spicy food, Minglou and Acheng eat clear soup, which happens to be the bottom of a mandarin duck pot.The shabu-shabu dishes are both Sichuan hot pot and northern shabu-shabu. Ah Cheng's sliced mutton can almost catch up with Dong Laishun's master's level; and the hairy belly and yellow throat must be Ah Xiang's craftsmanship.
Usually on this day, Assistant Guo would also come over for dinner.He just bought a new house this year, and his parents came for medical treatment again, so he stayed at home to accompany the elderly.Fortunately, Father Guo's condition is not serious. After the new year, he will undergo a minor operation and he will be able to recover after a period of recuperation.
After dinner, Mingzheng distributed red envelopes.According to the rules of the Ming family, red envelopes are given out twice a year.
Ming Cheng, overjoyed, stood at attention and said, "Thank you, Chairman."
"Follow Minglou from now on, and call me big sister too." Presumably, someone who can lead his younger brother into the door is also someone he values. Mingzheng will not put on airs of the chairman.
As soon as Mingcheng was happy, he volunteered to clean up the kitchen.
This is too clean...Mr. Ming stood at the door, feeling a little unbalanced. The kitchen seemed to be cleaner than his bedroom.
Ah Cheng refilled Ming Lou's teacup, thought for a while, then took out the red envelope, and handed it over with both hands: "Sir, I am not young, the red envelope..."
"As long as you are not married, you can take it." Mr. Ming did not accept the red envelope, but the teacup.
"But……"
"But what, every time Xiao Guo comes to eat, what he looks forward to most is to receive red envelopes. Don't you want to?"
"Of course I want to," Ah Cheng lowered his head, stroking the red envelope with his fingertips, "It's been many years, and this is the first time someone has given me a red envelope."
"Then put it away. From now on, every year, every year."
"Is it okay?" Ah Cheng raised his head, his eyes were shining like stars in the night sky.He likes it here, it is not a relative, but it has the taste of home.
"Why not?" Mr. Ming's best rhetorical question, "If you don't try, how do you know it's not possible?"
"...Okay", Ah Cheng's nose was inexplicably sour.
At 12 midnight, the new year arrives.
On the second ring road, the car headed east and then turned south, and the road was full of bright fireworks.
When the car entered the basement, Ah Chengfang patted his chest, "Fortunately, I didn't meet the traffic police." He killed two bottles of beer, of course, someone instigated it.
Ming Lou has a great say in doing bad things: "It's rare to indulge once, and you can't always be tense."
Entering the door, Ming Lou took off his coat and scarf, and Ah Cheng took it and hung it on the hanger.
"A Cheng", Ming Lou called him suddenly, "Happy New Year".
"Happy New Year", Ah Cheng turned around, the corners of his mouth raised high.
Ming Lou was at a loss for words for a while, but he didn't know what words to use to describe Ah Cheng's smile, obviously he also considered himself a gifted scholar.
Ah Cheng smiled, it was so pretty.
Great Cold, the last of the 24 solar terms.On this day, the Ming family held an annual meeting, referring to the recently popular Taiwan end-tooth banquet, and invited well-known hosts and singers to add to the fun at the annual meeting.
The speech must be reserved for Chairman Ming.Ming Lou sat at the main table, bowed his head and listened respectfully, nodding frequently.With the eldest sister supporting the scene, he can be considered relieved.
The most important part of the lottery draw is here, everyone is gearing up to try their luck.
The prizes are very generous, and there are only 64 of the latest Ipads.
For more than half a month, Ah Cheng has become one with the people in the logistics department and called them brothers.The director, Zhou Damin, especially liked this good boy who worked quickly and with a humble attitude, so he immediately gave him the Ipad he had drawn.
In that scene, General Manager Ming "coincidentally" caught him straight, and it was an eyesore to watch.
But Director Zhou is not easy to deduct wages, General Manager Ming is a little bit worried.
There are still seven or eight days before the Chinese New Year, and the building is gradually empty.
General Manager Ming, who has no leisure all day long, is busier than usual. There are endless gatherings, banquets, and receptions one after another. On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, no matter how good Ming Lou is at drinking, once he enters the mansion , rushed to the toilet and vomited.
Mr. Ming is so embarrassed, it is rare in a hundred years.
Drunk people can't take a bath, so Ah Cheng had to help him onto the bed, but after a few steps, he staggered and sweated all over himself.
Mr. Ming, it's time to lose weight...
Ah Cheng, poured some warm water into the washbasin, fetched a towel, and wiped it off.
Peel apples and take yogurt when there is time in the middle. It is said that they are all ways to hangover.
After Mr. Ming got drunk, he looked completely different from usual. He was definitely not drunk, but just a big man running around... Acting like a baby, A Changcheng sighed and couldn't help but touch his forehead.
"Ah Cheng, Ah Cheng, Ah Cheng", Ming Lou rubbed Ah Cheng's body, pretending to be cute, his usual meticulous hairstyle was rubbed into a chicken coop by himself, and a few mischievous strands of hair fell on his forehead, It's kind of cute.But, where did the image of an elite man go during the day...
How about taking a photo as a souvenir?Ah Cheng also has bad tastes, and thinking about it again, without a camera, the mobile phone is still a Nokia brick, so he had to give up.Ah Cheng felt a little sorry.
Does Mr. Ming belong to the dog, left Wenwen, right Wenwen, upper Wenwen, lower Wenwen, with his chin resting on Ah Cheng’s shoulder full of bones, a pair of long arms wrapped around Ah Cheng’s waist, and murmured: "Here, it smells good."
This posture can be regarded as a hug.
Ah Cheng froze.Being so close to a person was an experience he had never had before.
He used to read the news that some young people organized a "hug group". He didn't understand why they hugged others in the street.At this moment, there is a bit of realization that people, no matter how dark their hearts are, will long for warmth.No matter how strong you think you are, you still long for someone to accompany you.
Something cool slipped out of the eye sockets.
Being alone for too long, so long that I forget the temperature of the person.
Ah Cheng hurriedly covered his eyes with a towel, that towel had just wiped Mr. Ming's face.
Ming Lou circled Ah Cheng like this, obediently, without moving.
Ah Cheng, being surrounded like this, he longed for the warmth for too long.
A quiet room.
Ah Cheng took a good look, and there was an oil painting beside the bed: a brown house in the woods and beside a small river.He can paint traditional Chinese paintings, the level of the author of this oil painting is so-so.
Why hang it on the bedside?He became curious, who is the author of the oil painting
Since he moved into the mansion, he always felt that something was different, beyond his understanding and control.
Ah Cheng is just a small person, who occasionally has shady thoughts, and also envies and envies the local tyrants who hate spending money.But he can tell the difference between kindness and malice. Mr. Ming treats him very carefully.
Is it...
Ah Cheng turned his head, and the glass photo frame on the bedside table reflected his own appearance, no longer young.
Is it a rich man's game?But if it's a game, why bother so much?
Minglou, is he worthy of his trust?
Chapter 12
In the early morning of New Year's Eve, Ah Cheng returned to Yanqing. As usual, he had to go to the mountain to visit his grandma's grave in the early morning of the first day of the new year.
Knowing that Minglou would never run out of food, Ah Cheng still stuffed the three-door refrigerator with food.Before leaving, I specially invited the employer, who didn’t touch Yangchun water with his fingers, into the kitchen, “I made the dumplings yesterday and put them in the freezer. I marked the fillings of cabbage pork and fennel pork. Remember to cook the dumplings when the water boils.” , put some salt first...do you know where the salt is?"
"..." Mr. Ming was at a loss for words again. Does he need to know where the salt shaker is for a non-cooker?
"Forget it, pretend I didn't say it." Ah Cheng took a pen and paper, carefully wrote down the precautions, filled three A4 sheets, and fastened them to the refrigerator with refrigerator magnets.
It turns out that there are also magnets on the refrigerator at home, and Mr. Ming has discovered a new world.
Yanqing is to the north, and the temperature is three to five degrees lower than the urban area.
Ah Cheng changed into a down jacket, which he hadn't worn for a few days. He was fat and bloated, and he felt like he could bury his whole body in it.
Penguins of Madagascar?Mr. Ming snickered unkindly, "It's colder over there, do you want to bring some more clothes?"
"It's only been three days, and I'm back in the second year of junior high school."
Yes, only for three days, there is enough in the refrigerator to last for a week.
Ah Cheng was caring, and Mr. Ming was secretly proud, "Then, I will keep the red envelope for you first."
In the early morning of the third day of junior high school, Minglou returned to the mansion from the old house and drove by himself.
Others always waited for him, but he didn't wait for others. Mr. Ming deliberately returned to the mansion one day late.
For four days, I only received a text message from Mingcheng, "Sir, Happy Chinese New Year".
After half an hour, he replied "You too".
Pushing open the door, it was still the same as when leaving.
There were rustling sounds from the balcony. A familiar person was drying clothes.
Ah Cheng is back.
His Ah Cheng is back.
"Sir, Happy New Year", Ah Cheng turned his head, the sheets in his hand looked familiar, "Oh, I cleaned the room, the weather is good, the sheets can be done in the afternoon."
"What's for lunch?" Forgive me, it's not easy for Mr. Ming to have his IQ lowered in an instant, so he didn't pounce on him.
"...I'm going to buy vegetables", he was really unprepared.When I came back last night, I didn't see Ming Lou. I thought that I would have to wait until the fifth day of the lunar new year to see my employer again.
"Dumplings, in the refrigerator".
"...Okay", Ah Cheng was puzzled, eating a dumpling, why does the husband have an expression like he wants to eat him.
Taking the wrong medicine?
The weather is unpredictable, Mr. Ming, a little depressed.
An unexpected visitor came to the mansion, the almighty Assistant Guo.
When you enter the door, you ask, "Well, can I have a meal? Yes, right, then I will not be polite."
Cengfan has come to his Minglou's house, where is the majesty of the boss!
No, wages must be deducted!necessary!
Ah Cheng was extremely happy.The dumplings in the refrigerator, if you don't eat them, they won't taste good.
It would be unfair to say Assistant Guo.On the third day of the Lunar New Year, he was kicked out of the house by his parents and rushed to go on a blind date.That beautiful woman, her face was so thick that two catties could fall off, she claimed to have come back from England, and she popped out an English word from time to time when she spoke, and she must say how London is.Assistant Guo is annoyed by this kind of thing. After a few years abroad, he forgets who his ancestors are.
After sitting for a while, the young Guo Caijun received a transatlantic phone call, speaking in fluent English, with an authentic Wall Street accent in New York.Putting the phone in his pocket, he said to the blind date with staring eyes: "Beauty, you have been in Europe for many years, you should know that Chanel No. 5 is for women over 35 years old, so you are old this year!"
Puchi, Ah Cheng choked.
Assistant Guo has a solid foundation in storytelling, and Ah Cheng was so fascinated by it that he forgot the dumplings in his mouth for a moment.
Mr. Ming, quite critical, turned his eyes towards the assistant, especially that person without realizing it.
This has become a mess, and Xiao Guo will come to collect the food fee in the future!
After lunch, Assistant Guo followed the boss into the study to discuss matters.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, it is still Chinese New Year.Those who are in charge of the house have to start planning for the whole year.
The landlord's family has no surplus food, so life is difficult.
"Boss, I have a clue." Assistant Guo is occasionally capable of serious business.
Minglou turned sideways, "The movement is fast and there is progress."
Ming's shipping business was investigated at the end of the year and it was discovered that someone was using this to smuggle.
"Involving three oil tankers, Xiaomei and I carefully compared the ship records of the previous five years, and found that the Taishan was the most suspected. Although the time of each call in Thailand was long or short, the shortest was only one hour. Xiaomei thinks , The records on paper have been corrected. It has been a long time, and they have slackened, and this time they showed their feet."
Ming Lou touched the rim of the teacup with his finger, thoughtful.Xiaomei is his secretary, her full name is Yu Xiaomei. She looks like a weak girl who studies criminal investigation. He absolutely has no doubts about Xiaomei's professionalism.
"The captain's name is Liang Chunhua. He has been in the company for 15 years and has made progress every year."
"For money, or for women?"
"Probably, both."
Liang Chunhua is the captain of a giant oil tanker. His annual salary is more than 50 yuan, which is not enough to spend. He either gambles or gets involved in other things he shouldn't be involved in.
"He bought a house in Binhai, Tianjin, where the woman lived with a four-year-old child, and the neighbors thought they were a family of three."Although the woman's name was written on the house book, the co-borrower was Captain Liang.
The case is not complicated.Liang Chunhua used oil tankers to smuggle cars, each time in small quantities and under the guise of the Ming family, so he was never discovered by the customs.
What Ming Lou wanted to evaluate was the impact of the whole incident. Why did the smuggling group find Liang Chunhua?Is it accidental, or someone else set up the game.Could it be another company's intentional calculation?
The mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind, Minglou's habit is to find the oriole first.
"Does the wife surnamed Liang know?"
"I don't know. His wife is a nurse and lives in this city. I heard that she is a Hedong lion."
"Since the year is almost over, it's not easy to hide it for his wife."
Assistant Guo understood in seconds.There is a mistress, this is a family matter.With Liang Chunhua's wife's temper, she would go on for a long time. After a year, Captain Liang would not be able to go to sea.After that, check it out slowly.
"Also, it's time for the internal investigation team to investigate."Internal investigations are carried out every year, and clues have been found out this year. It is too coincidental.
"My master is wise!" Assistant Guo turned into a dog leg in a second.
Chapter 13
The nominal working time is the seventh day of the first lunar month, but I can't stand the old customs. Before the Lantern Festival, I don't think about work.
Ah Cheng, upon receiving the notice from Assistant Guo, he was transferred to the HR department.
The first thing he does when he goes to work is to have a farewell dinner with Zhou Damin, director of the logistics department.
It was dinner, and Ah Cheng reported to the boss in advance that the dinner in the mansion should be handled by himself.
Xu Shi was so busy that he lost his head. When Mr. Ming returned to the mansion, he remembered the incident. The driver, Assistant Guo, had already left without a trace.
It is rumored that this guy has a long-term love for Xiaomei and is trying to pursue her.Mr. Ming curled his lips. Xiaomei came from a police family and has a black belt in Taekwondo. She is at Xiaoguo's level, and she is not good enough to be beaten.This is a big man who is 29 years old, and he is getting more and more out of tune.
The room was empty, without that familiar figure, Mr. Ming felt deserted.
I went to the kitchen to boil water, and saw a note on the refrigerator: a big arrow, a line of small words: dinner is here.
Ming Lou laughed silently.
Ah Cheng wrapped the wontons early in the morning and ordered them repeatedly before going to work.
Everyone in the company guessed that Ah Cheng was a relative of the Ming family. Except for Xiao Guo, no one knew that Ah Cheng and him lived under the same roof day in and day out.Every day, Assistant Guo came to pick up the boss, and Ah Cheng walked to work, 2 kilometers from the mansion to the company.
Boil water, add some salt to prevent sticking pan.This time, Mr. Ming finally knew where the salt was, and the word "salt" was written on the jar.
A person's dinner is always lonely and has no appetite.
After eating and making a cup of tea, Mr. Ming entered the study room with the door ajar.
There are pots and pans soaking in the sink in the kitchen, and he can't do the work of washing the pots and dishes.
20 points, 21 points, 22 points.
He raised his hand and looked at his watch, why haven't he come back yet?You won't drink too much, will you?
Ming Lou couldn't help thinking, what would happen to Ah Cheng who was drunk?
Ming Lou has a good capacity for alcohol and is used to pretending to be garlic. He has never been so drunk that he loses consciousness.
That night, he knew that he drank too much, but his mind was clear.Acting like a baby with Ah Cheng was just playing around in the name of being drunk, especially because of his temper.
Don't be on guard, don't need to be wary, just be your true self.
But unexpectedly, Ah Cheng cried.
At 22:40, Ah Cheng entered.He smelled of alcohol and his eyes were dull.
Taking off the coat, taking off the scarf, and stretching out and throwing hands all become slow motion.
"This is how much you drank." Mr. Ming pushed Ah Cheng into the sofa and couldn't help complaining.
"Yes, I'm sorry", the drunk Ah Cheng has the same temperament as in the daytime, neither crying nor making trouble, looking at the sitting posture, he still looks like a student, "Half, half catty, little two".Erguotou is a bottle of Erguotou, which is commonly known as Xiaoer by the people of the imperial capital.
Dare to know that I drank too much.
Ah Cheng's drinking capacity is mediocre.His habit of not smoking or drinking for many years is to save money.
It should be explained that it is really rare in a hundred years for a husband to serve others.
Holding hands, they led Ah Cheng into his bedroom.
Why don't you go into the nanny's room?The world can learn from Mr. Ming's dirty little thoughts, and the sun and the moon can show them.
Ah Cheng sat down slowly along the edge of the bed, folded his hands on his lap, obediently, and did not move.
After fetching water and throwing a towel, Ming Lou wiped Ah Cheng's face, hands, and hair.
Get another basin of water, throw in a clean towel, and then wipe your neck.
Unbuttoning the shirts one by one, there was a hurdling vest inside, the old style, the kind that alley men wear every day in summer.
It is said that Ah Cheng was abused by his adoptive mother for three years and was covered with scars when he was found.After so many years, none of them have disappeared.
The wiping project has come to an end, and Mr. Ming's endurance is limited, so he really can't take it off anymore.
Self-inflicted, can't live.
Feed Ah Cheng with a cup of boiled water, seeing that he was sleeping peacefully, Minglou turned off the light and went into the study, where the American bone spirits were still waiting for him.
At 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, after the meeting, Mr. Ming went back to the bedroom, turned on the bedside lamp, and was slightly taken aback.
Ah Cheng changed his sleeping position, and now he is lying on his side, curled up in one place, which is the position of a baby in the mother's womb.
Psychologically speaking, such a person lacks a sense of security.
Time can erase the scars on the body, but what about the scars in the heart?
A good person was ruined just like that.
His life is doomed to be incomplete.
Chapter 14
From winter to spring, the magnolias on Ten Mile Chang Street are blooming.
The folks call Magnolia the flower of gratitude.
The Ming people wrote a poem saying, "Love does not change the color of the year, and the eternal heart keeps giving it to the king", which is exactly Magnolia.
On the day the heating was turned off in the capital, Ming Lou set off for France to visit his parents and son.
It is not good for the two siblings to go abroad together, and the elder sister Mingzheng stays in charge.
Assistant Guo went to the United States on a business trip, and the task of sending him off to the plane naturally fell on Ah Cheng.
The traffic radio relayed the road condition information in real time, and it gave me a headache to listen to. The two airport expressways were blocked into parking lots.
Simply, change to the earliest airport road, the road that Nixon got off the plane and entered Beijing when he visited China.
The road is not wide, and pagoda trees are planted on both sides, forming a embracing trend.In summer and autumn, it is a veritable boulevard.
When he was six years old, Ming Lou took the first plane to France, which was exactly the way he took.
Unexpectedly, the same blockage.Nearby is the urban-rural fringe area, and there are always people pushing flatbed carts up to sell things.
Looking at the time, Ah Cheng was slightly anxious, probably because the recent days were really not going well, and he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he honked the car horn a few more times.
"What are you selling up front?"
"Walnut".
"Go buy some".
Ah Cheng got out of the car and brought back a small half of his pocket.
"How much did you buy?"
"Ten catties".
"..." Mr. Ming had nothing to say.
"It can't be broken, keep it and eat slowly, and nourish your brain."
Ah Cheng's temperament has gradually grown recently, and he still has the cuteness when he first came here. This education must have been too successful, and Mr. Ming has a slight headache.
Sending people off on international flights, until customs.
The two handsome men stood facing each other, attracting the attention of a group of beauties.
Mr. Ming, who is used to presenting himself as an elite male, is the favorite of bone spirits who like to fight against the sky, the earth, and people. It is said that this is called challenging themselves; It's also beautiful and bright.Like the mysterious porcelain in the underground palace of Famen Temple, the day it is unearthed, it will shine brightly.
"Be careful on the way home", Mr. Ming took the boarding case, turned around and walked towards the customs.
gone? !Just one sentence? !
Ming children's shoes, didn't you notice the word "go home"...
The return journey still took the old airport road, and the walnut sellers came to block the traffic again. Ah Cheng, take a deep breath, and can't buy another ten catties.
He has never been on a plane, but he has an inexplicable fear of going to high altitudes.
Malaysia Airlines Flight 7 went missing 370 days ago, and 153 Chinese citizens on board disappeared into the blue sky with the plane.
The only son of an old lady in the personnel department is on board Malaysia Airlines 370.The eldest sister had been going well for half her life, but when she was about to retire, she had to deal with such a big event.
All countries mobilized, and the plane was searched for a week, but there was still no trace.We all know that it may be bad luck.
In the morning, he followed the department manager to visit his home, and he saw with his own eyes how a home collapsed.Before the eldest sister’s son boarded the plane, he just updated Weibo, saying that he is about to graduate from graduate school, and that his work unit has been confirmed. He will earn money in the future and take his parents to travel around the world.
Nowadays, families are not like families, and people are not like people.
He had no relatives since he was a child, and felt that he was lonely, but now he realizes that he is not pitiful, and it is heartbreaking to lose a child like the eldest sister.
Calculating the time, Minglou's flight still has 40 minutes to take off.Taking advantage of the traffic jam, Ah Cheng texted, "Safe trip".
At the company's annual meeting, Boss Ming decides to replace the iPad that Zhou Damin gave him with the current iPhone.
reason?Explain that employers need reasons for doing things.
Not long after, the screen lit up with the word "OK".
Cherish words like gold.
cut……
In the afternoon, the old and new managers of the shipping business department handed over their work and came to the personnel department to go through the formalities.
The newly appointed person is full of vigor and high spirits, but the one who retired early is lonely.
The world is cold and warm, only self-knowledge.
After completing the formalities, the new manager hurriedly went upstairs to report to the chairman.
Ah Cheng, accompany the old manager downstairs.
When they were delivered to the gate of the building, they were about to wave goodbye when suddenly a person ran out and got into a tussle with the old manager.
"Zhao, you said you wanted to protect me."
"Liang Chunhua, I have been implicated by you myself, and I still want to settle accounts with you!"
"You accepted me..."
"Fart! Don't fucking wrong people!"
There was chaos in front of the door, which eventually alarmed Zhang Weiguo, director of the security department, and Zhou Damin, director of the engineering + logistics department, came out together.
The security guard went up to fight, Manager Zhao adjusted his coat and left angrily.But Liang Chunhua sat slumped on the ground, screaming for heaven and earth.
How decent is a big man.
"I have worked for the Ming family for 15 years, and now I have to suffer such humiliation, the conscience of heaven and earth is chilling." This kind of behavior is like catching up with the aunt in the village who cried, made trouble, and hanged herself.
Seeing more and more people gathered around to watch the excitement, and some people took out their mobile phones, Director Zhang of the Security Department was very calm, and asked his subordinates to evacuate the crowd first. They are all employees of Ming's, so it's not good to see the excitement in their own house.
"Back then, who begged me to come in!"
"You don't want to mention the past", Director Zhang was born in the army, with a Chinese face, he looked like a black man, "I came in with you for a year, and you can't hide your crap from anyone."
"I don't care! I want the chairman to give me an explanation! If there is no evidence, why should I deduct my salary and reduce my treatment!"
"You call it unsubstantiated! How old are you? If you have the guts to do it, why don't you have the guts to admit it?"
The two big directors are present, Ah Cheng, just watch.
When Ming Lou returned to the mansion, he didn't talk about business unless he entered the study.This Captain Liang made him break the precedent.Ah Cheng knew something about Liang Chunhua.
Liang Chunhua had a child with Xiaosan and committed de facto bigamy.The original partner insisted on filing a lawsuit, and the court has accepted it.Ming's punished Liang Chunhua for this. If he is finally found guilty, he will terminate the contract and file a claim for compensation on the grounds of damaging the company's reputation.
Being a captain was impossible, and Liang Chunhua's income plummeted.This month, only the basic salary is paid.
Seeing that he was still making jokes, he was in a bad shape.Director Zhang gave him a wink, and two veteran security guards took the opportunity to step forward and put Liang Chunhua into the security room next to the building.The whole process was filmed.In the future, if there are pictures and the truth, the person surnamed Liang will bite back.
Liang Chunhua had a guilty conscience, and he was even more afraid that others would find out that he was guilty.To make trouble today is nothing more than trying to gain a sense of existence, and no one pays attention to it, so it is really ineffective every day.He couldn't figure out how it was discovered that there was a mistress...
Chapter 15
After a day of tossing around, I finally got off work.
Ah Cheng walked back to the mansion.
There is a piece of paper on the door, and there is a fee.The mansion has a service to pay water, electricity, gas and internet fees.In the past, Assistant Guo went to the property to save thousands of oceans after the new year. It is estimated that the advance payment last year was spent.
Ah Cheng frowned, slightly worried.Without even seeing his salary card, he was taken away by Ming Lou, whereabouts are unknown.
Ah Cheng made several insinuations, but Ming's employer dealt with them in fours and twos.
No, when Minglou comes back, he must ask, at least he must know how much money he earns!
Ming children's shoes compare fists, cheer yourself up!The Prime Minister said that migrant workers are not allowed to give IOUs!
Peel off the note and enter the door.
After changing the shoes in the hallway, I suddenly saw the iron box, which is usually kept at home.
My god, half a box of hundred-yuan bills, at least 2 yuan.
Ah Cheng's eyelids twitched, could it be that his salary is all here? !
Unscrupulous profiteers!
The melody of folk songs sounded in my head:
Little cabbage, yellow in the ground, two or three years old, motherless...
Ah Cheng gritted his teeth, then changed his shoes, went out, and paid the fee.
Name Ming, just wait and see!
In the evening, the wind picked up.The Meteorological Observatory said that there is sand and dust, and PM2.5 is seriously exceeding the standard. It is recommended not to stay outdoors.
The municipal heating of the imperial capital ends today, and the mansion will be heated for half a month.
In the house, it is still warm and harmonious.
Dinner is noodles, real vermicelli in clear soup, a poached egg and a few pieces of rapeseed, served with Laoganma, barely manageable.
Eating alone always has no appetite.
Calculating the time, Ming's employer's flight will arrive in Paris in 3 hours.
Ah Cheng had no concept of the other side of the Eurasian continent, and he couldn't understand French. He glanced at the recipes for French cuisine, and decided to think about Chinese food.
After brushing the bowl, it seems that there is nothing to do.
Forget it, go back and read a book.
In the 12-square-meter nanny room, the single bed, simple wardrobe, and small desk have taken up most of the space.
On the desk, there was an extra piece of letter paper, with an old eternal pen on top of the paper as a paperweight.
Traditional Chinese and vertical version, Ah Cheng was surprised.
It turns out that Ming's employer is not a dandy... Uh, no, it turns out that a dandy is also so talented.
Ah Cheng has a new understanding of employers.
Full of regular script, extremely beautiful.The words are like a person, steady and full of aura, which is the foundation of the boy's skill. Ah Cheng, who became a monk halfway, is willing to bow down.
Ming Children's Shoes complained, looked at the employer's words, and then looked at his own, and it was scum in seconds.
Oh, haven't read the content yet.
Mr. Ming assigned homework to Ah Cheng, such as: applying for a private passport; writing a piece of Chinese characters every day, and copying an English piece; cleaning the study room, etc.
Nothing else, except for cleaning the study, Mr. Ming never asked others to do it for him.
Will my salary card be in the study...
On the first night when Ming's employer left the imperial capital, Ah Cheng had a lot of dreams.
In the dream, someone shot at him, and the bullets passed by, making him feel cold and sweating, and shivering.
In the next scene, the three men have dinner together, each with a bowl of green vegetable noodles.He frowned and asked, "Which of you two will give the money? I'll go and buy back the broken things."The person sitting at the main table put down his chopsticks, "This side is really unpalatable", got up and left.
In another scene, he was sitting at the top of the stairs, smashing walnuts, and handing them to the person next to him, clearly the man who put down the chopsticks.
smashing walnuts...
Ah Cheng woke up from a dream, as if in a lifetime.Cover your eyes with your hands, what's the matter, the dream is too real, as if you experienced it yourself.
Small bedside alarm clock: 5:29.
Damn the biological clock, waking up so early, and not having to prepare breakfast for the employer... A Cheng was slightly annoyed, it was still Saturday...
At 8 o'clock, I received a call from Ah Xiang, saying that Sister Ming wanted to eat dumplings. She, a chef from Sichuan, came to ask for help. Using boiled fish as bait, the deal was concluded immediately!
Ah Cheng dared not drive the two cars in the basement without permission.
Grab a book and get into the subway.The fare is two yuan, and the imperial capital is still commendable.However, as soon as I entered the subway, I heard discussions that the bus and subway fare adjustments were imminent, and I was asking the public for solutions.
It is imperative to increase the price, so hurry up and enjoy the benefits for a few more days.
The elder sister of the Ming family is wearing a wine red leather skirt, which is quite eye-catching.In my impression, she always shows people in skirts throughout the year.
Just looking at Ming Lou's skin, one can tell that the elder sister's appearance is unmistakable, but her temperament is too fierce. When the male subordinates come to the elder sister, it is like a mouse seeing a cat.
These two siblings, one with a bad face and the other with a bad face, are good partners!
Ah Xiang couldn't get involved in the job of making dumplings. She observed it for a few minutes and decided decisively—let's give up.
After lunch, Ming's landline rang, and it came from France.
Mingzheng answered the phone in the living room in the front yard, Axiang washed the dishes, repaired
"Alright, save time for cooking. The company is going to have an annual meeting, starting tomorrow, you go to the logistics department to help."Mr. Ming turned around and went back to his study, and gave a hand. Looking at his back, he looked a little like a retired veteran cadre.
Cleaning the table, he will never do it.
"Oh, by the way, I will ask Xiao Guo to get a salary card tomorrow, and you will pay half of it for the family in the future."
...? !
Ah Cheng turned his head and stared fiercely at the slowly closing door. Who can tell him how much his salary is!On the first day he joined Ming's, the money in his pocket was taken into consideration by the boss. Besides, he didn't have any money in his pocket. "The richer you are, the more stingy you are!"
Mingcheng Children's Shoes, your way of thinking about problems is indeed different from ordinary people... The word "household" has many ambiguities.
There is nothing better than dumplings.
Chives and fennel are the two main ingredients for eating dumplings in North China.It is said that those who eat leeks do not eat fennel, and those who eat fennel do not eat leeks. Mr. Ming is a special case.
As long as it tastes good, he is not picky about food.
Dumpling wine, the more you drink, the better.
The "stingy" Mr. Ming opened a bottle of 52-degree Red Star Erguotou, and the porcelain bottle was blue and white with white flowers on a blue background.The most expensive kind of Erguotou, the wine container is blue and white porcelain with blue flowers on a white background, but Mr. Ke Ming disliked the shape of the amphora because it was neither earthy nor foreign, neither fish nor fowl, so he put it on the shelf.
When drinking baijiu, Ming Lou prefers Erguotou and Moutai, and Lebanese white wine is his favorite among foreign wines.
"From now on, let's have dinner together," ordered the head of household Ming, and sat in the main seat, looking like the old man of a big landlord's house.Mingcheng fetched the bowls and chopsticks and sat on his left hand, which was near the kitchen.
When eating dumplings, garlic is an excellent auxiliary material, that is, the taste is stronger than that of leeks.
Ah Cheng brought another plate of Laba garlic, which he marinated himself.
Put the peeled garlic cloves into the jar, pour vinegar, seal it and store it in a cool place. After 20 days, the garlic soaked in vinegar is green all over, like emerald jasper. It is the perfect match for eating dumplings and fried noodles.
Laba garlic has garlic fragrance but no spicy taste, which can relieve greasy and fishy smell. In addition, the garlic smell left in the mouth after eating is very little, so it will not smoke others.
The dumplings are like human beings. The dumplings made by Chef Ming are neat, white and fat, and they look very attractive.
Ah Cheng pours the wine, and the only thing Mr. Ming needs to do is...eating and drinking.
Having enough food and wine is one of the great blessings in life.
Mr. Ming stood in front of the window, unable to say a word: I ate too much...
"Fennel" sounds the same as "return to hometown". It is often used to make dumplings in North China, but southerners don't eat it.
Back home, where is my hometown?
"Sir, let's have a cup of tea." Ah Cheng entered the door with a teacup.
It's rare that both of them are standing.
Outside the window, there is a bleak winter season.
To the north, you can have a panoramic view of the brilliant night view of China World Trade Center.
"Zhou Damin in the logistics department is very demanding. You will have to work hard with him." Mr. Ming was a little distressed when he had to stand up for it, "The logistics department seems to be a place for doing odd jobs. Will despise, you go, be humble."
"I understand." Ah Cheng stood up straight. He didn't eat much for dinner. The employer in front of him really could eat, wouldn't he hold on?A Cheng was suspicious, "Director Zhou, he is very funny."
"Crouching tigers, hidden dragons in the company, there are many people with backgrounds, so there is nothing to do. But you have to remember that you don't have to be polite when you encounter those who make trouble. Men, there must always be a bit of blood."
"……knew".The bosses he met before would only make him suffer blindly, but Mr. Ming...why treat him so well..."Sir, what can I do?"
"Will you find a woman to marry?" Mr. Ming suddenly attacked.
"No", Ah Cheng knew his problem. He was harmed by others, but he didn't want to harm others.
"I do not know either".
"..."
"I have a son who is three years old in France. In the future, the Ming family will belong to him." Ming Lou put down his teacup, leaned half against the desk, folded his legs, put his hands in his trouser pockets, and pretended to be small, " In this family, there will be no mistress in the future."
Ah Cheng couldn't understand, obviously he knew the meaning of every word, but he just couldn't understand, Mr. Ming, why did you tell him this...
"I don't understand, right? It's okay, the days are still long." Ming Lou stretched out his right hand, "A Cheng, the Ming family welcomes you", it is "Ming family", not "Ming family".
Holding hands together, what Ah Cheng felt was the temperature, the other's big hand was warm and powerful.
Chapter 11
December 12st is the last day of the Gregorian calendar.
In the afternoon, Ming Cheng accompanied Ming Lou back to the old house in the courtyard. The euphemistic name is that the old house needs a chef.
Obviously Ah Xiang is also very good at cooking.
At six o'clock in the evening, dinner is on time.
The feast presented by the two chefs is really extraordinary.
Ming Zhai ate hot pot tonight.The four of them, Mingzheng and Axiang like spicy food, Minglou and Acheng eat clear soup, which happens to be the bottom of a mandarin duck pot.The shabu-shabu dishes are both Sichuan hot pot and northern shabu-shabu. Ah Cheng's sliced mutton can almost catch up with Dong Laishun's master's level; and the hairy belly and yellow throat must be Ah Xiang's craftsmanship.
Usually on this day, Assistant Guo would also come over for dinner.He just bought a new house this year, and his parents came for medical treatment again, so he stayed at home to accompany the elderly.Fortunately, Father Guo's condition is not serious. After the new year, he will undergo a minor operation and he will be able to recover after a period of recuperation.
After dinner, Mingzheng distributed red envelopes.According to the rules of the Ming family, red envelopes are given out twice a year.
Ming Cheng, overjoyed, stood at attention and said, "Thank you, Chairman."
"Follow Minglou from now on, and call me big sister too." Presumably, someone who can lead his younger brother into the door is also someone he values. Mingzheng will not put on airs of the chairman.
As soon as Mingcheng was happy, he volunteered to clean up the kitchen.
This is too clean...Mr. Ming stood at the door, feeling a little unbalanced. The kitchen seemed to be cleaner than his bedroom.
Ah Cheng refilled Ming Lou's teacup, thought for a while, then took out the red envelope, and handed it over with both hands: "Sir, I am not young, the red envelope..."
"As long as you are not married, you can take it." Mr. Ming did not accept the red envelope, but the teacup.
"But……"
"But what, every time Xiao Guo comes to eat, what he looks forward to most is to receive red envelopes. Don't you want to?"
"Of course I want to," Ah Cheng lowered his head, stroking the red envelope with his fingertips, "It's been many years, and this is the first time someone has given me a red envelope."
"Then put it away. From now on, every year, every year."
"Is it okay?" Ah Cheng raised his head, his eyes were shining like stars in the night sky.He likes it here, it is not a relative, but it has the taste of home.
"Why not?" Mr. Ming's best rhetorical question, "If you don't try, how do you know it's not possible?"
"...Okay", Ah Cheng's nose was inexplicably sour.
At 12 midnight, the new year arrives.
On the second ring road, the car headed east and then turned south, and the road was full of bright fireworks.
When the car entered the basement, Ah Chengfang patted his chest, "Fortunately, I didn't meet the traffic police." He killed two bottles of beer, of course, someone instigated it.
Ming Lou has a great say in doing bad things: "It's rare to indulge once, and you can't always be tense."
Entering the door, Ming Lou took off his coat and scarf, and Ah Cheng took it and hung it on the hanger.
"A Cheng", Ming Lou called him suddenly, "Happy New Year".
"Happy New Year", Ah Cheng turned around, the corners of his mouth raised high.
Ming Lou was at a loss for words for a while, but he didn't know what words to use to describe Ah Cheng's smile, obviously he also considered himself a gifted scholar.
Ah Cheng smiled, it was so pretty.
Great Cold, the last of the 24 solar terms.On this day, the Ming family held an annual meeting, referring to the recently popular Taiwan end-tooth banquet, and invited well-known hosts and singers to add to the fun at the annual meeting.
The speech must be reserved for Chairman Ming.Ming Lou sat at the main table, bowed his head and listened respectfully, nodding frequently.With the eldest sister supporting the scene, he can be considered relieved.
The most important part of the lottery draw is here, everyone is gearing up to try their luck.
The prizes are very generous, and there are only 64 of the latest Ipads.
For more than half a month, Ah Cheng has become one with the people in the logistics department and called them brothers.The director, Zhou Damin, especially liked this good boy who worked quickly and with a humble attitude, so he immediately gave him the Ipad he had drawn.
In that scene, General Manager Ming "coincidentally" caught him straight, and it was an eyesore to watch.
But Director Zhou is not easy to deduct wages, General Manager Ming is a little bit worried.
There are still seven or eight days before the Chinese New Year, and the building is gradually empty.
General Manager Ming, who has no leisure all day long, is busier than usual. There are endless gatherings, banquets, and receptions one after another. On the 28th day of the twelfth lunar month, no matter how good Ming Lou is at drinking, once he enters the mansion , rushed to the toilet and vomited.
Mr. Ming is so embarrassed, it is rare in a hundred years.
Drunk people can't take a bath, so Ah Cheng had to help him onto the bed, but after a few steps, he staggered and sweated all over himself.
Mr. Ming, it's time to lose weight...
Ah Cheng, poured some warm water into the washbasin, fetched a towel, and wiped it off.
Peel apples and take yogurt when there is time in the middle. It is said that they are all ways to hangover.
After Mr. Ming got drunk, he looked completely different from usual. He was definitely not drunk, but just a big man running around... Acting like a baby, A Changcheng sighed and couldn't help but touch his forehead.
"Ah Cheng, Ah Cheng, Ah Cheng", Ming Lou rubbed Ah Cheng's body, pretending to be cute, his usual meticulous hairstyle was rubbed into a chicken coop by himself, and a few mischievous strands of hair fell on his forehead, It's kind of cute.But, where did the image of an elite man go during the day...
How about taking a photo as a souvenir?Ah Cheng also has bad tastes, and thinking about it again, without a camera, the mobile phone is still a Nokia brick, so he had to give up.Ah Cheng felt a little sorry.
Does Mr. Ming belong to the dog, left Wenwen, right Wenwen, upper Wenwen, lower Wenwen, with his chin resting on Ah Cheng’s shoulder full of bones, a pair of long arms wrapped around Ah Cheng’s waist, and murmured: "Here, it smells good."
This posture can be regarded as a hug.
Ah Cheng froze.Being so close to a person was an experience he had never had before.
He used to read the news that some young people organized a "hug group". He didn't understand why they hugged others in the street.At this moment, there is a bit of realization that people, no matter how dark their hearts are, will long for warmth.No matter how strong you think you are, you still long for someone to accompany you.
Something cool slipped out of the eye sockets.
Being alone for too long, so long that I forget the temperature of the person.
Ah Cheng hurriedly covered his eyes with a towel, that towel had just wiped Mr. Ming's face.
Ming Lou circled Ah Cheng like this, obediently, without moving.
Ah Cheng, being surrounded like this, he longed for the warmth for too long.
A quiet room.
Ah Cheng took a good look, and there was an oil painting beside the bed: a brown house in the woods and beside a small river.He can paint traditional Chinese paintings, the level of the author of this oil painting is so-so.
Why hang it on the bedside?He became curious, who is the author of the oil painting
Since he moved into the mansion, he always felt that something was different, beyond his understanding and control.
Ah Cheng is just a small person, who occasionally has shady thoughts, and also envies and envies the local tyrants who hate spending money.But he can tell the difference between kindness and malice. Mr. Ming treats him very carefully.
Is it...
Ah Cheng turned his head, and the glass photo frame on the bedside table reflected his own appearance, no longer young.
Is it a rich man's game?But if it's a game, why bother so much?
Minglou, is he worthy of his trust?
Chapter 12
In the early morning of New Year's Eve, Ah Cheng returned to Yanqing. As usual, he had to go to the mountain to visit his grandma's grave in the early morning of the first day of the new year.
Knowing that Minglou would never run out of food, Ah Cheng still stuffed the three-door refrigerator with food.Before leaving, I specially invited the employer, who didn’t touch Yangchun water with his fingers, into the kitchen, “I made the dumplings yesterday and put them in the freezer. I marked the fillings of cabbage pork and fennel pork. Remember to cook the dumplings when the water boils.” , put some salt first...do you know where the salt is?"
"..." Mr. Ming was at a loss for words again. Does he need to know where the salt shaker is for a non-cooker?
"Forget it, pretend I didn't say it." Ah Cheng took a pen and paper, carefully wrote down the precautions, filled three A4 sheets, and fastened them to the refrigerator with refrigerator magnets.
It turns out that there are also magnets on the refrigerator at home, and Mr. Ming has discovered a new world.
Yanqing is to the north, and the temperature is three to five degrees lower than the urban area.
Ah Cheng changed into a down jacket, which he hadn't worn for a few days. He was fat and bloated, and he felt like he could bury his whole body in it.
Penguins of Madagascar?Mr. Ming snickered unkindly, "It's colder over there, do you want to bring some more clothes?"
"It's only been three days, and I'm back in the second year of junior high school."
Yes, only for three days, there is enough in the refrigerator to last for a week.
Ah Cheng was caring, and Mr. Ming was secretly proud, "Then, I will keep the red envelope for you first."
In the early morning of the third day of junior high school, Minglou returned to the mansion from the old house and drove by himself.
Others always waited for him, but he didn't wait for others. Mr. Ming deliberately returned to the mansion one day late.
For four days, I only received a text message from Mingcheng, "Sir, Happy Chinese New Year".
After half an hour, he replied "You too".
Pushing open the door, it was still the same as when leaving.
There were rustling sounds from the balcony. A familiar person was drying clothes.
Ah Cheng is back.
His Ah Cheng is back.
"Sir, Happy New Year", Ah Cheng turned his head, the sheets in his hand looked familiar, "Oh, I cleaned the room, the weather is good, the sheets can be done in the afternoon."
"What's for lunch?" Forgive me, it's not easy for Mr. Ming to have his IQ lowered in an instant, so he didn't pounce on him.
"...I'm going to buy vegetables", he was really unprepared.When I came back last night, I didn't see Ming Lou. I thought that I would have to wait until the fifth day of the lunar new year to see my employer again.
"Dumplings, in the refrigerator".
"...Okay", Ah Cheng was puzzled, eating a dumpling, why does the husband have an expression like he wants to eat him.
Taking the wrong medicine?
The weather is unpredictable, Mr. Ming, a little depressed.
An unexpected visitor came to the mansion, the almighty Assistant Guo.
When you enter the door, you ask, "Well, can I have a meal? Yes, right, then I will not be polite."
Cengfan has come to his Minglou's house, where is the majesty of the boss!
No, wages must be deducted!necessary!
Ah Cheng was extremely happy.The dumplings in the refrigerator, if you don't eat them, they won't taste good.
It would be unfair to say Assistant Guo.On the third day of the Lunar New Year, he was kicked out of the house by his parents and rushed to go on a blind date.That beautiful woman, her face was so thick that two catties could fall off, she claimed to have come back from England, and she popped out an English word from time to time when she spoke, and she must say how London is.Assistant Guo is annoyed by this kind of thing. After a few years abroad, he forgets who his ancestors are.
After sitting for a while, the young Guo Caijun received a transatlantic phone call, speaking in fluent English, with an authentic Wall Street accent in New York.Putting the phone in his pocket, he said to the blind date with staring eyes: "Beauty, you have been in Europe for many years, you should know that Chanel No. 5 is for women over 35 years old, so you are old this year!"
Puchi, Ah Cheng choked.
Assistant Guo has a solid foundation in storytelling, and Ah Cheng was so fascinated by it that he forgot the dumplings in his mouth for a moment.
Mr. Ming, quite critical, turned his eyes towards the assistant, especially that person without realizing it.
This has become a mess, and Xiao Guo will come to collect the food fee in the future!
After lunch, Assistant Guo followed the boss into the study to discuss matters.
On the third day of the Lunar New Year, it is still Chinese New Year.Those who are in charge of the house have to start planning for the whole year.
The landlord's family has no surplus food, so life is difficult.
"Boss, I have a clue." Assistant Guo is occasionally capable of serious business.
Minglou turned sideways, "The movement is fast and there is progress."
Ming's shipping business was investigated at the end of the year and it was discovered that someone was using this to smuggle.
"Involving three oil tankers, Xiaomei and I carefully compared the ship records of the previous five years, and found that the Taishan was the most suspected. Although the time of each call in Thailand was long or short, the shortest was only one hour. Xiaomei thinks , The records on paper have been corrected. It has been a long time, and they have slackened, and this time they showed their feet."
Ming Lou touched the rim of the teacup with his finger, thoughtful.Xiaomei is his secretary, her full name is Yu Xiaomei. She looks like a weak girl who studies criminal investigation. He absolutely has no doubts about Xiaomei's professionalism.
"The captain's name is Liang Chunhua. He has been in the company for 15 years and has made progress every year."
"For money, or for women?"
"Probably, both."
Liang Chunhua is the captain of a giant oil tanker. His annual salary is more than 50 yuan, which is not enough to spend. He either gambles or gets involved in other things he shouldn't be involved in.
"He bought a house in Binhai, Tianjin, where the woman lived with a four-year-old child, and the neighbors thought they were a family of three."Although the woman's name was written on the house book, the co-borrower was Captain Liang.
The case is not complicated.Liang Chunhua used oil tankers to smuggle cars, each time in small quantities and under the guise of the Ming family, so he was never discovered by the customs.
What Ming Lou wanted to evaluate was the impact of the whole incident. Why did the smuggling group find Liang Chunhua?Is it accidental, or someone else set up the game.Could it be another company's intentional calculation?
The mantis catches the cicada and the oriole is behind, Minglou's habit is to find the oriole first.
"Does the wife surnamed Liang know?"
"I don't know. His wife is a nurse and lives in this city. I heard that she is a Hedong lion."
"Since the year is almost over, it's not easy to hide it for his wife."
Assistant Guo understood in seconds.There is a mistress, this is a family matter.With Liang Chunhua's wife's temper, she would go on for a long time. After a year, Captain Liang would not be able to go to sea.After that, check it out slowly.
"Also, it's time for the internal investigation team to investigate."Internal investigations are carried out every year, and clues have been found out this year. It is too coincidental.
"My master is wise!" Assistant Guo turned into a dog leg in a second.
Chapter 13
The nominal working time is the seventh day of the first lunar month, but I can't stand the old customs. Before the Lantern Festival, I don't think about work.
Ah Cheng, upon receiving the notice from Assistant Guo, he was transferred to the HR department.
The first thing he does when he goes to work is to have a farewell dinner with Zhou Damin, director of the logistics department.
It was dinner, and Ah Cheng reported to the boss in advance that the dinner in the mansion should be handled by himself.
Xu Shi was so busy that he lost his head. When Mr. Ming returned to the mansion, he remembered the incident. The driver, Assistant Guo, had already left without a trace.
It is rumored that this guy has a long-term love for Xiaomei and is trying to pursue her.Mr. Ming curled his lips. Xiaomei came from a police family and has a black belt in Taekwondo. She is at Xiaoguo's level, and she is not good enough to be beaten.This is a big man who is 29 years old, and he is getting more and more out of tune.
The room was empty, without that familiar figure, Mr. Ming felt deserted.
I went to the kitchen to boil water, and saw a note on the refrigerator: a big arrow, a line of small words: dinner is here.
Ming Lou laughed silently.
Ah Cheng wrapped the wontons early in the morning and ordered them repeatedly before going to work.
Everyone in the company guessed that Ah Cheng was a relative of the Ming family. Except for Xiao Guo, no one knew that Ah Cheng and him lived under the same roof day in and day out.Every day, Assistant Guo came to pick up the boss, and Ah Cheng walked to work, 2 kilometers from the mansion to the company.
Boil water, add some salt to prevent sticking pan.This time, Mr. Ming finally knew where the salt was, and the word "salt" was written on the jar.
A person's dinner is always lonely and has no appetite.
After eating and making a cup of tea, Mr. Ming entered the study room with the door ajar.
There are pots and pans soaking in the sink in the kitchen, and he can't do the work of washing the pots and dishes.
20 points, 21 points, 22 points.
He raised his hand and looked at his watch, why haven't he come back yet?You won't drink too much, will you?
Ming Lou couldn't help thinking, what would happen to Ah Cheng who was drunk?
Ming Lou has a good capacity for alcohol and is used to pretending to be garlic. He has never been so drunk that he loses consciousness.
That night, he knew that he drank too much, but his mind was clear.Acting like a baby with Ah Cheng was just playing around in the name of being drunk, especially because of his temper.
Don't be on guard, don't need to be wary, just be your true self.
But unexpectedly, Ah Cheng cried.
At 22:40, Ah Cheng entered.He smelled of alcohol and his eyes were dull.
Taking off the coat, taking off the scarf, and stretching out and throwing hands all become slow motion.
"This is how much you drank." Mr. Ming pushed Ah Cheng into the sofa and couldn't help complaining.
"Yes, I'm sorry", the drunk Ah Cheng has the same temperament as in the daytime, neither crying nor making trouble, looking at the sitting posture, he still looks like a student, "Half, half catty, little two".Erguotou is a bottle of Erguotou, which is commonly known as Xiaoer by the people of the imperial capital.
Dare to know that I drank too much.
Ah Cheng's drinking capacity is mediocre.His habit of not smoking or drinking for many years is to save money.
It should be explained that it is really rare in a hundred years for a husband to serve others.
Holding hands, they led Ah Cheng into his bedroom.
Why don't you go into the nanny's room?The world can learn from Mr. Ming's dirty little thoughts, and the sun and the moon can show them.
Ah Cheng sat down slowly along the edge of the bed, folded his hands on his lap, obediently, and did not move.
After fetching water and throwing a towel, Ming Lou wiped Ah Cheng's face, hands, and hair.
Get another basin of water, throw in a clean towel, and then wipe your neck.
Unbuttoning the shirts one by one, there was a hurdling vest inside, the old style, the kind that alley men wear every day in summer.
It is said that Ah Cheng was abused by his adoptive mother for three years and was covered with scars when he was found.After so many years, none of them have disappeared.
The wiping project has come to an end, and Mr. Ming's endurance is limited, so he really can't take it off anymore.
Self-inflicted, can't live.
Feed Ah Cheng with a cup of boiled water, seeing that he was sleeping peacefully, Minglou turned off the light and went into the study, where the American bone spirits were still waiting for him.
At 1 o'clock in the middle of the night, after the meeting, Mr. Ming went back to the bedroom, turned on the bedside lamp, and was slightly taken aback.
Ah Cheng changed his sleeping position, and now he is lying on his side, curled up in one place, which is the position of a baby in the mother's womb.
Psychologically speaking, such a person lacks a sense of security.
Time can erase the scars on the body, but what about the scars in the heart?
A good person was ruined just like that.
His life is doomed to be incomplete.
Chapter 14
From winter to spring, the magnolias on Ten Mile Chang Street are blooming.
The folks call Magnolia the flower of gratitude.
The Ming people wrote a poem saying, "Love does not change the color of the year, and the eternal heart keeps giving it to the king", which is exactly Magnolia.
On the day the heating was turned off in the capital, Ming Lou set off for France to visit his parents and son.
It is not good for the two siblings to go abroad together, and the elder sister Mingzheng stays in charge.
Assistant Guo went to the United States on a business trip, and the task of sending him off to the plane naturally fell on Ah Cheng.
The traffic radio relayed the road condition information in real time, and it gave me a headache to listen to. The two airport expressways were blocked into parking lots.
Simply, change to the earliest airport road, the road that Nixon got off the plane and entered Beijing when he visited China.
The road is not wide, and pagoda trees are planted on both sides, forming a embracing trend.In summer and autumn, it is a veritable boulevard.
When he was six years old, Ming Lou took the first plane to France, which was exactly the way he took.
Unexpectedly, the same blockage.Nearby is the urban-rural fringe area, and there are always people pushing flatbed carts up to sell things.
Looking at the time, Ah Cheng was slightly anxious, probably because the recent days were really not going well, and he had nowhere to vent his anger, so he honked the car horn a few more times.
"What are you selling up front?"
"Walnut".
"Go buy some".
Ah Cheng got out of the car and brought back a small half of his pocket.
"How much did you buy?"
"Ten catties".
"..." Mr. Ming had nothing to say.
"It can't be broken, keep it and eat slowly, and nourish your brain."
Ah Cheng's temperament has gradually grown recently, and he still has the cuteness when he first came here. This education must have been too successful, and Mr. Ming has a slight headache.
Sending people off on international flights, until customs.
The two handsome men stood facing each other, attracting the attention of a group of beauties.
Mr. Ming, who is used to presenting himself as an elite male, is the favorite of bone spirits who like to fight against the sky, the earth, and people. It is said that this is called challenging themselves; It's also beautiful and bright.Like the mysterious porcelain in the underground palace of Famen Temple, the day it is unearthed, it will shine brightly.
"Be careful on the way home", Mr. Ming took the boarding case, turned around and walked towards the customs.
gone? !Just one sentence? !
Ming children's shoes, didn't you notice the word "go home"...
The return journey still took the old airport road, and the walnut sellers came to block the traffic again. Ah Cheng, take a deep breath, and can't buy another ten catties.
He has never been on a plane, but he has an inexplicable fear of going to high altitudes.
Malaysia Airlines Flight 7 went missing 370 days ago, and 153 Chinese citizens on board disappeared into the blue sky with the plane.
The only son of an old lady in the personnel department is on board Malaysia Airlines 370.The eldest sister had been going well for half her life, but when she was about to retire, she had to deal with such a big event.
All countries mobilized, and the plane was searched for a week, but there was still no trace.We all know that it may be bad luck.
In the morning, he followed the department manager to visit his home, and he saw with his own eyes how a home collapsed.Before the eldest sister’s son boarded the plane, he just updated Weibo, saying that he is about to graduate from graduate school, and that his work unit has been confirmed. He will earn money in the future and take his parents to travel around the world.
Nowadays, families are not like families, and people are not like people.
He had no relatives since he was a child, and felt that he was lonely, but now he realizes that he is not pitiful, and it is heartbreaking to lose a child like the eldest sister.
Calculating the time, Minglou's flight still has 40 minutes to take off.Taking advantage of the traffic jam, Ah Cheng texted, "Safe trip".
At the company's annual meeting, Boss Ming decides to replace the iPad that Zhou Damin gave him with the current iPhone.
reason?Explain that employers need reasons for doing things.
Not long after, the screen lit up with the word "OK".
Cherish words like gold.
cut……
In the afternoon, the old and new managers of the shipping business department handed over their work and came to the personnel department to go through the formalities.
The newly appointed person is full of vigor and high spirits, but the one who retired early is lonely.
The world is cold and warm, only self-knowledge.
After completing the formalities, the new manager hurriedly went upstairs to report to the chairman.
Ah Cheng, accompany the old manager downstairs.
When they were delivered to the gate of the building, they were about to wave goodbye when suddenly a person ran out and got into a tussle with the old manager.
"Zhao, you said you wanted to protect me."
"Liang Chunhua, I have been implicated by you myself, and I still want to settle accounts with you!"
"You accepted me..."
"Fart! Don't fucking wrong people!"
There was chaos in front of the door, which eventually alarmed Zhang Weiguo, director of the security department, and Zhou Damin, director of the engineering + logistics department, came out together.
The security guard went up to fight, Manager Zhao adjusted his coat and left angrily.But Liang Chunhua sat slumped on the ground, screaming for heaven and earth.
How decent is a big man.
"I have worked for the Ming family for 15 years, and now I have to suffer such humiliation, the conscience of heaven and earth is chilling." This kind of behavior is like catching up with the aunt in the village who cried, made trouble, and hanged herself.
Seeing more and more people gathered around to watch the excitement, and some people took out their mobile phones, Director Zhang of the Security Department was very calm, and asked his subordinates to evacuate the crowd first. They are all employees of Ming's, so it's not good to see the excitement in their own house.
"Back then, who begged me to come in!"
"You don't want to mention the past", Director Zhang was born in the army, with a Chinese face, he looked like a black man, "I came in with you for a year, and you can't hide your crap from anyone."
"I don't care! I want the chairman to give me an explanation! If there is no evidence, why should I deduct my salary and reduce my treatment!"
"You call it unsubstantiated! How old are you? If you have the guts to do it, why don't you have the guts to admit it?"
The two big directors are present, Ah Cheng, just watch.
When Ming Lou returned to the mansion, he didn't talk about business unless he entered the study.This Captain Liang made him break the precedent.Ah Cheng knew something about Liang Chunhua.
Liang Chunhua had a child with Xiaosan and committed de facto bigamy.The original partner insisted on filing a lawsuit, and the court has accepted it.Ming's punished Liang Chunhua for this. If he is finally found guilty, he will terminate the contract and file a claim for compensation on the grounds of damaging the company's reputation.
Being a captain was impossible, and Liang Chunhua's income plummeted.This month, only the basic salary is paid.
Seeing that he was still making jokes, he was in a bad shape.Director Zhang gave him a wink, and two veteran security guards took the opportunity to step forward and put Liang Chunhua into the security room next to the building.The whole process was filmed.In the future, if there are pictures and the truth, the person surnamed Liang will bite back.
Liang Chunhua had a guilty conscience, and he was even more afraid that others would find out that he was guilty.To make trouble today is nothing more than trying to gain a sense of existence, and no one pays attention to it, so it is really ineffective every day.He couldn't figure out how it was discovered that there was a mistress...
Chapter 15
After a day of tossing around, I finally got off work.
Ah Cheng walked back to the mansion.
There is a piece of paper on the door, and there is a fee.The mansion has a service to pay water, electricity, gas and internet fees.In the past, Assistant Guo went to the property to save thousands of oceans after the new year. It is estimated that the advance payment last year was spent.
Ah Cheng frowned, slightly worried.Without even seeing his salary card, he was taken away by Ming Lou, whereabouts are unknown.
Ah Cheng made several insinuations, but Ming's employer dealt with them in fours and twos.
No, when Minglou comes back, he must ask, at least he must know how much money he earns!
Ming children's shoes compare fists, cheer yourself up!The Prime Minister said that migrant workers are not allowed to give IOUs!
Peel off the note and enter the door.
After changing the shoes in the hallway, I suddenly saw the iron box, which is usually kept at home.
My god, half a box of hundred-yuan bills, at least 2 yuan.
Ah Cheng's eyelids twitched, could it be that his salary is all here? !
Unscrupulous profiteers!
The melody of folk songs sounded in my head:
Little cabbage, yellow in the ground, two or three years old, motherless...
Ah Cheng gritted his teeth, then changed his shoes, went out, and paid the fee.
Name Ming, just wait and see!
In the evening, the wind picked up.The Meteorological Observatory said that there is sand and dust, and PM2.5 is seriously exceeding the standard. It is recommended not to stay outdoors.
The municipal heating of the imperial capital ends today, and the mansion will be heated for half a month.
In the house, it is still warm and harmonious.
Dinner is noodles, real vermicelli in clear soup, a poached egg and a few pieces of rapeseed, served with Laoganma, barely manageable.
Eating alone always has no appetite.
Calculating the time, Ming's employer's flight will arrive in Paris in 3 hours.
Ah Cheng had no concept of the other side of the Eurasian continent, and he couldn't understand French. He glanced at the recipes for French cuisine, and decided to think about Chinese food.
After brushing the bowl, it seems that there is nothing to do.
Forget it, go back and read a book.
In the 12-square-meter nanny room, the single bed, simple wardrobe, and small desk have taken up most of the space.
On the desk, there was an extra piece of letter paper, with an old eternal pen on top of the paper as a paperweight.
Traditional Chinese and vertical version, Ah Cheng was surprised.
It turns out that Ming's employer is not a dandy... Uh, no, it turns out that a dandy is also so talented.
Ah Cheng has a new understanding of employers.
Full of regular script, extremely beautiful.The words are like a person, steady and full of aura, which is the foundation of the boy's skill. Ah Cheng, who became a monk halfway, is willing to bow down.
Ming Children's Shoes complained, looked at the employer's words, and then looked at his own, and it was scum in seconds.
Oh, haven't read the content yet.
Mr. Ming assigned homework to Ah Cheng, such as: applying for a private passport; writing a piece of Chinese characters every day, and copying an English piece; cleaning the study room, etc.
Nothing else, except for cleaning the study, Mr. Ming never asked others to do it for him.
Will my salary card be in the study...
On the first night when Ming's employer left the imperial capital, Ah Cheng had a lot of dreams.
In the dream, someone shot at him, and the bullets passed by, making him feel cold and sweating, and shivering.
In the next scene, the three men have dinner together, each with a bowl of green vegetable noodles.He frowned and asked, "Which of you two will give the money? I'll go and buy back the broken things."The person sitting at the main table put down his chopsticks, "This side is really unpalatable", got up and left.
In another scene, he was sitting at the top of the stairs, smashing walnuts, and handing them to the person next to him, clearly the man who put down the chopsticks.
smashing walnuts...
Ah Cheng woke up from a dream, as if in a lifetime.Cover your eyes with your hands, what's the matter, the dream is too real, as if you experienced it yourself.
Small bedside alarm clock: 5:29.
Damn the biological clock, waking up so early, and not having to prepare breakfast for the employer... A Cheng was slightly annoyed, it was still Saturday...
At 8 o'clock, I received a call from Ah Xiang, saying that Sister Ming wanted to eat dumplings. She, a chef from Sichuan, came to ask for help. Using boiled fish as bait, the deal was concluded immediately!
Ah Cheng dared not drive the two cars in the basement without permission.
Grab a book and get into the subway.The fare is two yuan, and the imperial capital is still commendable.However, as soon as I entered the subway, I heard discussions that the bus and subway fare adjustments were imminent, and I was asking the public for solutions.
It is imperative to increase the price, so hurry up and enjoy the benefits for a few more days.
The elder sister of the Ming family is wearing a wine red leather skirt, which is quite eye-catching.In my impression, she always shows people in skirts throughout the year.
Just looking at Ming Lou's skin, one can tell that the elder sister's appearance is unmistakable, but her temperament is too fierce. When the male subordinates come to the elder sister, it is like a mouse seeing a cat.
These two siblings, one with a bad face and the other with a bad face, are good partners!
Ah Xiang couldn't get involved in the job of making dumplings. She observed it for a few minutes and decided decisively—let's give up.
After lunch, Ming's landline rang, and it came from France.
Mingzheng answered the phone in the living room in the front yard, Axiang washed the dishes, repaired
