in the center of the universe

He and Guan Zang came to visit the souvenir shop by the seaside. There were few people in winter, and they went to the city for the foreign festival these two days, and no one came.The clerk was wearing a down jacket, holding a hand warmer, watching Korean dramas on his mobile phone, and didn't greet anyone.

Fake pearl necklaces, bracelets, conch wind chimes, picture frames inlaid with seashells, brooches, handbags, painted stones, whichever store sells the same.It is full of hanging on the wall and setting up a counter.

"My god, it's really ugly." He picked up a chain bag, studded with small shellfish, and spelled out a pattern, which made trypophobia want to die.While disgusted, he turned his back on his back, "Come one."

I bought a few photo frames, a necklace, and a big wind chime, more than half a meter long. The clerk was also affordable, and gave two small ones as gifts.

"Isn't conch water? Water brings wealth. Go back and give it to Sister Xiangxiang." He babbled nonsense and left contentedly, asking Guan Zang to take him to eat seafood.While peeling the shrimp, he asked, "Is your grandfather going to find someone to arrest you soon?"

Guan Zang peeled it off for him, and said, "I should know where I am. I won't be caught if I come here. I'll find someone to intercept me when I return to the city. Is this delicious? Uncle Ma likes it very much. I'll bring him some when I go back."

"It's delicious—then what do you do, can you still come out?" Yan Keji licked his fingers, grabbed the beer glass and drank most of it.

"Maybe send me abroad."

He knocked his beer glass on the table, "Then what the hell are you doing here with me? I don't want to have a long-distance relationship with you! 470 million, let's talk!"

Guan Zang fed the shrimp meat into his mouth and smiled: "He can't control me."

"Then why have you listened to him for so many years?"

"I don't want to embarrass Uncle Ma," Guan Zang said looking at him, "and I didn't meet you."

Yan Keji wondered: "You study funerals, don't you study seduction?" Guan Zang didn't understand, so he laughed, and he continued to ask: "Why do you study funerals?"

"Grandma believed in Buddhism, and when she left, she invited a master to recite scriptures to save people; as for my father, it was the local custom and ordinary procedure; Alice's funeral was attended by no outsiders, and we prepared a simple Western-style ceremony for her—when it came to my mother, the ceremony was very simple, But I prepared a lot of flowers, not expensive, wild flowers and so on, and the tombstone is also carved." Guan Zang said, "Don't you think it's very interesting? The funeral seems to be the last business card of that person in this world."

He thought about it for a while, and said to Guan Zang: "I will wear a famous brand and jewelry when I die! The coffin is inlaid with Swarovski! The inlay is full, and one piece will not work!" Guan Zang took it down seriously.I heard him ask again: "What about you?"

"I will let you 'kill' me and die in your hands." Guan Zang said.

"I might die before you?"

"That will die in your hands too." Guan hid on the chair and shook his body slightly, like a child who couldn't hold back his excitement: "I've been thinking about this a lot recently, and I have a lot of thoughts, so I'm happy when I think about it." Put them together, as if holding something, put it on your heart, close your eyes: "I want to make a model of my own heart, one-to-one size, and put it in my hand like this when I lie in the coffin."

Yan Keji thought for a while, smiled softly, and was very proud: "You are really a pervert—you want diamonds."

Guan Zang was even happier, and couldn't restrain his excitement: "Meimei, let's go home, I want to touch you!"

"Can you fucking wait for me to finish eating?!"

Guan Jingyuan was admitted to the hospital again because of high blood pressure, and Sun Lingxian asked the doctor anxiously, "Why can't I just stare at the medicine every day?" The doctor was helpless, "Not only the medicine, but also the emotions."

Sun Lingxian sighed and said nothing.Ma Qian's family went to the hospital, but Guan Jingyuan didn't see him, so Sun Lingxian asked Sun Lingxian to tell him, "Xiao Ma, Laoguan is really having troubles these days, you should take a rest first, and you should let go of the Guanzang matter first." Without saying a word, he turned and went home.

Guan Jingyuan has already made up his mind, he is useless to Guan Jingyuan.

"What to do, Lehua." He murmured. "I might as well run away with Guan Zang, otherwise, he might really want to kill your father—" After thinking for a while, Ma Qianjia said, "Or I just leave it alone and let him be free?"

"Guan Zang is the same as you were at that time, happy and happy, looking forward to the next day every night. Yan Keji has done what I failed to do. What right do I have to make him unhappy, happy and innocent."

"Doctor Ma, is it wrong for me to be happy?" Guan Lehua asked him, but Ma Qianjia couldn't answer. "Dad said he was a hooligan, but I was so happy with him. Am I a bad woman?"

Guan Lehua looked at him, like a little girl ignorant of the world, uneasy and at a loss.She is indeed still a little girl, innocent and lovely, gentle and kind. She has never been out of the house for half her life, and she can count on two hands the people she has seen.

"You're not, of course not."

Guan Lehua rubbed her stomach and said softly, "Doctor Ma, I'm just telling you. He's not a hooligan, he's an angel!" After speaking, she smiled shyly, "Angels are all blond-haired and blue-eyed, right? His children must be too. It's blonde hair and blue eyes, call her Alice, okay?"

Ma Qianjia nodded and said "OK".Back in the office, he closed the door and slapped himself.

From the moment he fell in love with Guan Lehua, he knew that he was not qualified to be her doctor in front of Guan Lehua.I am not qualified to be anyone's doctor anymore.So a few years later, when he received a call from Guan Jingyuan, he immediately resigned and came to the Guan family to satisfy his own selfish desires and spend the last time with Guan Lehua; then he became a guardian with "some experience in psychological counseling" by Guan Zang's side.

His duty is to let Guan Zang spend his life safely and happily.Be an ordinary rich man, inherit Guanda, marry a suitable wife, leave offspring, and have a healthy and lovely child.

"But I didn't do anything, I didn't make him safe, I didn't make him happy." Ma Qianjia was half drunk, crying at the photo.

After Guan Lehua died, he left behind the skirt that he gave to Guan Lehua back then, and after attending the funeral, he came back and burned that skirt.Just send her off again.Every year after that, he burns a printed skirt.Anyway, I don't know what else to give.

Before meeting Guan Lehua, Ma Qianjia had never been in love, and after Guan Lehua left, Ma Qianjia had never been in love.He can't be a funny rogue, he's just a coward with a lot of love.

After crying, Ma Qianjia called Zhuang Baixin and asked her, "Can you really get in touch with Guan Zang?"

Zhuang Baixin was having dinner at her parents' house. Her mother steamed a new pot of sourdough noodles and big white steamed buns. Her father stewed big carp in braised sauce. He found a deeper fish plate and filled it with the soup that was about to overflow.Zhuang Baixin broke open a steaming steamed bun, and dipped a corner into the fish soup. Watching the sauce-red fish soup quickly soak into the fluffy white steamed bun, he put it in his mouth and ate it.

The news is being broadcast on TV, vigorously combating corruption and cracking down on "tigers".Her father said: "I don't know how many more people have fallen from the horse. After a while, you will all have a special topic."

Zhuang Baixin picked up some fish meat with his chopsticks, and smiled: "Old Zhuang knows a lot."

"What do you understand? The news is a part of the government, and it is the attitude of the higher authorities. You think you are being blindly reported." Lao Zhuang has worked in propaganda work all his life, and he knows how to do it.After taking a sip of the wine, he exclaimed, "If one becomes an official, it will involve quite a few businessmen."

"Dad, I want to ask you something." Zhuang Baixin swallowed the fish and asked, "Suppose there is such a person: he came from the war-torn era, worked for a rich family when he was a child, and he was good to that mad lady." , married someone; during the turmoil, in order to save his life, he criticized his wife, and she was locked up all the time when she was crazy; later, she entered a large state-owned enterprise and did a good job, and she climbed quite high; she gave birth to a daughter who was said to be crazy, free His love affair was messed up by him, and he found a son-in-law to marry in, and later restructured, he bought the factory back at a low price through his son-in-law, and became an entrepreneur; after his wife died, he found a powerful successor, and now he is a billionaire , but it seems that people of the grandchildren—" she pointed her finger, "it seems not normal either."

Lao Zhuang was curious: "Who is it?"

"You don't care about who, what do you think - such a person, such a thing, if it is true, how do you evaluate it?"

Lao Zhuang smiled: "You don't want me to evaluate, you want me to criticize. If there is such a person, I can only say - this is a person who can adapt to the current situation and take advantage of the current situation. Can do this There are very few people, very few, smart and ruthless, and they can do whatever they want.” Lao Zhuang compared fish tail to belly with a chopstick. "Didn't you notice? In every change, he has successfully stood from the edge to the center."

Yan Keji received a call from Zhuang Baixin, but it was from Ma Qian's family, looking for Guan Zang.After finishing speaking, he asked, "What did you say?"

Guan Zang was rarely taken aback, dazed.

"Uncle Ma said, send us a sum of money, go away, and don't come back."
