Chinese Almanac Master

Chapter 7 Chapter 5

Situ Zhang kept looking out at the entrance of the restaurant with a cigarette in his mouth. The restaurant business during Chinese New Year was very good, so the heat from the entrance made his face flush a little.The smell of stewed mutton wafted in the air, making people's noses unbearably intoxicated. In the private room he booked upstairs, it seemed that a group of people had already drank it with a yell.These are all the friends he met in the society, there are people who sell insurance, drive long distance, etc. Naturally, these people don't know what it means to be polite and just eat and drink, but they originally agreed with him to come today. However, Xiao Nanzhu hasn't appeared until now.

"This bastard...fucking me again."

Gritting his teeth and muttering something, Situ Zhang, who had been waiting for more than ten minutes, said that he took off the sunglasses that he wore all year round, and his sharp eyes were stained with anger.In fact, he didn't take Xiao Nanzhu's words seriously at first, but since the man agreed to him for the first time, Situ Zhang also reluctantly planned to believe him once, and the facts also proved that this man obviously has no reputation at all. , I was fooled by him not only once, but also twice. Thinking of this, Situ Zhang's complexion became a little bad, and he pinched the cigarette butt in his hand, but just as he was walking Just as he was about to go back upstairs and ignore the grandson's life, he heard a familiar voice behind him.

"Hey, are you still outside to meet me? How can you be so mean?"

With a casual tone, one could tell which bastard was talking there, Situ Zhang's expression changed, and when he turned around, he saw Xiao Nanzhu standing there smiling at him.Speaking of which, this man is 28 or [-] years old, but his straight and poplar-like body can't conceal his demeanor even if he is wrapped in heavy clothes. Just standing on the street is a beautiful scenery.It is reasonable to say that a man with this appearance has never had a date until now, but the strange thing is that in Situ Zhang's impression, Xiao Nanzhu has never really found a date...

Accompanied by such sudden doubts, Situ Zhang started to think while meeting him, Xiao Nanzhu didn't know what he was thinking, but obediently received Situ Zhang's bluffing feet and followed him inside, entering After leaving the restaurant, he glanced upstairs again.

As far as he could see, Xiao Nanzhu, who was watching the messy wine table and shouting, raised his eyebrows, Situ Zhang noticed his expression and patted him on the shoulder, feeling a little uncertain, Xiao Nanzhu glanced at him. Talking, just put their pockets in their mouths and smiled, and after the two of them went upstairs together, the men who were drinking and talking at that table all stopped subconsciously.

"Yo! Situ, let me introduce you! This is your little daughter-in-law who hides like a dead girl! What's the matter! Let me introduce you to everyone, hahaha!! Don't you want to have dinner with us? That's why I didn't come here yesterday! I'm sorry for you!"

The fat man with gold-rimmed glasses is about 35 or [-] years old. Before he finished speaking, he opened his mouth wide and laughed, and the people around him laughed loudly with him. It was obvious that he wanted to embarrass others. Xiao Nanzhu didn't show any emotion, he just stood at the dining table generously, took a bottle of white wine with one hand, opened it with his thumb and poured a glass for these people one by one, and started It's time to smoke.

"Some things were delayed yesterday. I'm really sorry to keep you waiting for me for a long time...Brother, I'm here to apologize to everyone, why don't you just do it first, let's go?"

Raising his eyebrows and hooking the corners of his mouth, Xiao Nanzhu's appearance was full of righteousness and chills when he was not speaking, but this smile seemed to have an indescribable evil spirit, and this cigarette was a good one, and Ruan Zhonghua held it in his mouth It's also not good for people to say anything weird, so the atmosphere eased for a while.Xiao Nanzhu's upright attitude made the group of people instantly dispel the resentment that had been waiting for him for a long time, and Situ Zhang also smiled when he saw this, pushed Xiao Nanzhu's person to the side of his seat, and then pointed pointing to his head,

"Xiao Nanzhu, I told everyone that I just came out of the army. In the future, my brothers will take care of me. I will take care of any good projects and jobs in the beginning of the year. When the work is done, I will invite everyone to drink ..."

For a while, everyone on the table nodded in unison, but if they really said they would help, Xiao Nanzhu thought so, so he sat quietly and started chatting with these people from all over the world, waiting for the wine to open a few bottles, After the big dishes were almost served, he probably knew what Situ Zhang's buddies in this circle were doing.

The one who started the conversation was Cao Chong, a sales manager of an insurance company in this city, a very eloquent, joking northerner.The crew-cut guy next to him is Zhao Tiansheng, who drives long distances and often does transportation.A little younger man on the side is said to be Li Mao, a small boss engaged in construction and decoration, and the other three are all foremen brought by Li Mao.These people have good personalities in terms of speech, and they are all used to working in the society. They can talk and communicate with each other. The atmosphere at the table cooled down, but those elders were somewhat interested in the fact that he came out of the army, and kept asking him endlessly.

Speaking of which, I also want to talk about Xiao Nanzhu's time when he was a soldier. He was a military academy that has advanced for nearly ten years. Compared with ordinary conscripts, his starting point is relatively high. He had just died at that time After losing my grandma, I have nothing to worry about in this world, so I left the few things at home and joined the army without hesitation.In the fourth year of the military academy, he was selected into a certain northern military base because of his special circumstances. At first, he was slapped and kicked by others, and later he became an instructor. Ruthless, all these little soldiers under his hands have to shed a layer of skin. If he didn't break the leg of a scumbag with a prominent family background, he should have stayed in the army and continued his repetitive and monotonous Instead of doing something that even he himself finds boring.

Thinking in this way, Xiao Nanzhu's eyes became a little dim, but he also knew that the past was also the past after all, and after he came out of the army, he didn't intend to take some things to heart, so when the person in front of him at this moment When the group of people asked again, he just smiled casually, then squinted his eyes and smoked a cigarette, saying,

"I, from the cooking class, how can there be so many messy things, this is not a movie..."

What he said disappointed a few elders. Seeing this, Situ Zhang laughed but didn't expose Xiao Nanzhu's obvious nonsense. It happened that Cao Chong asked Xiao Nanzhu what happened yesterday. He couldn't come due to some delays, Situ Zhang coughed and wanted to block Xiao Nanzhu's conversation, but before he could speak, Xiao Nanzhu replied on his own,

"Ah, it's like this, the house is on fire and the gas is on fire... It's because I don't remember it myself. Yesterday my luck was against the fire, and I had to start a fire at home. You see, it's just a fire." Are you up yet..."

As soon as he said this, several other people looked at him subconsciously. After all, this fortune was very nagging when it was mentioned. Seeing Xiao Nanzhu's tone, it seems that he understands something related. There is no lack of people in this profession who believe in good fortune and misfortune, and who are a bit superstitious, so Li Mao, who is doing construction at the moment, took the lead and said,

"Yo, Brother Xiao, do you still know how to read your fortune? Why don't you show it to me too?"

"That's right, Situ, Brother Xiao still understands this... He doesn't look like him at his age... Would you like to show us?"

Several other people echoed, with doubts and ridicule in their expressions.Xiao Nanzhu picked up the wine glass and glanced at Situ Zhang, but there was a meaningful smile on the corner of his mouth.Situ Zhang, who was still wondering in his heart, immediately reacted when he saw his expression, and didn't think carefully about when Xiao Nanzhu mastered this new specialty. He immediately opened his mouth and shouted exaggeratedly,

"Hey! Don't underestimate people! I grew up with him and I can testify that their family has been doing this all the time! What's the matter with Liang Ding's own child, and the fate of the land reform is their old business, hurry up , Xiao Nanzhu, give them gestures..."

When Situ Zhang said that the people at this table were a little unbelieving, Xiao Nanzhu saw that these people were all staring at him curiously, but his expression was calm, and he asked the waiter to ask for a piece of paper and a pen in a leisurely manner. He pushed away the wine glass and the plate in front of him, then raised his hand to pick up the pen, and let the tip of the ballpoint pen naturally hang down on the thin A5 paper.

"A little trick, if everyone wants to see it, I'll make it a joke for everyone. I want Brother Li to try it out? What do you want to count?"

Xiao Nanzhu's words made Li Mao eager to give it a try, and the other people were not afraid of big things when they watched the excitement, so they hurriedly urged him to go up and try. After hearing the words, Li Mao took a sip of wine, went to sit next to Xiao Nanzhu, and took his coat sleeves Roll up and point, and hold the pen together with Xiao Nanzhu, and then said with some doubts,

"Calculate today's fortune? How do you play this, hold it with you and then?"

"Oh? It's luck, okay, you just need to say your birthday horoscope out loud, and then the thing who heard it... will tell you that he knows..."

Accompanied by Xiao Nanzhu's slowly slowing down tone, the other people watching them gesticulating there couldn't help stretching their heads. At this moment, the atmosphere in the private room was terrifyingly quiet. Li Mao and Xiao Nanzhu were holding the The most common ballpoint pen dropped its nib on the paper, and then the middle-aged man frowned and said,

"I... I was born on June 70, 6."

As soon as the voice fell, the tip of the pen began to move. This strength did not come from either of them, but it seemed that a third person was manipulating the pen.Seeing this, Li Mao widened his eyes and looked at Xiao Nanzhu. Xiao Nanzhu just smiled but didn't speak. After the up and down handwriting finally stopped, everyone only saw a line of big round characters written on it.

"If you lose your money today, you should lose your money."

Cao Chong read this line of words, and everyone else looked at Li Mao in dismay. Li Mao's palms were sweaty from the very beginning, and he was taken aback when he saw this, and quickly threw the pen back to Xiao Nanzhu. Then he said in surprise,

"Brother Xiao, what... what does this mean!!"

"The meaning of this sentence, Brother Li, you naturally understand it in your heart, this is your luck, how would I know?"

Squinting his eyes and pretending to be closed, Situ Zhang couldn't help but push him in embarrassment at Xiao Nanzhu's words, and Li Mao's face also changed when he heard this, but before he could ask the nagging When Xiao Nanzhu was talking to Xiao Nanzhu, he heard his mobile phone ringing in his pocket, and when he picked it up, he heard the accountant of his company yelling at him,

"Mr. Li!! It's not good! Those forty or so migrant workers who were owed wages came to make trouble at the entrance of the company!! It's a good day to play four speakers at the entrance of the company!! One of them is already prepared Suicide by drinking Sanlu milk powder on the spot!!! Come and save us!! Σ(っ°Д°;)っ”
