Angel

Tang Anqi got off the rickshaw in front of the building, and walked in with a small leather bag.After going up a flight of stairs and turning into the corridor on the second floor, he took out his key and opened the door of the office.

He loudly ordered the handyman to bring a pot of hot water, and he made himself a cup of boiling hot tea, not for drinking, but for warming his hands.He didn't come here for several days, and there was a faint musty smell in the room. He sneezed, then walked to the corner of the room, and looked at the long-length mirror attached to the wall.

The person in the mirror was wearing a Haibo velvet long coat with a belt around his waist, making his figure very neat and slender.This coat was bought from a thrift store. It was said to be a second-hand item, but in fact it was [-]% new, and it fit his figure, so judging by the material and workmanship, he took advantage of it.In the past, even if he was cold, he would not buy old clothes to wear; but now that there is a shortage of supplies in Chongqing, it is not a shame to visit thrift stores, and the more money he makes, the more he cherishes money. This flashy temperament has gone a lot.

The coat is old, and the leather shoes on the feet are new ones just bought from a shoe store.Looking at the person in the mirror with her eyes wide open, Tang Anqi seemed to be very surprised, she didn't know how she came here, and at such an age.My life seemed to be divided into two parts when I was 16 years old. The first part was very orderly, and the time for three meals a day was so fixed;

Tang Anqi didn't express much emotion.He lowered his head and took a sip of hot tea. He coughed, stomped his feet lightly, and then raised his wrist to check the time on his watch.

Tang Anqi spent more than half an hour in the office.There was a knock on the door of the room, he put down his teacup and went to open the door, but once he saw who was coming, his smile froze immediately.

The other party was also taken aback: "Ouch!"

Immediately, the two of them opened their arms and hugged each other in a tacit understanding like they did in Tianjin before.It turned out that this person was none other than Sheng Guogang, Tang Anqi's good friend back then.

Tang Anqi and him have always been good friends, and it is conceivable that they can meet each other in a foreign land at this time, the kind of surprise and intimacy.Sheng Guogang was taller and stronger than him, and at this moment he was wrapped in his arms, and his big slap also slapped his back, stroking down firmly.

"Oh, oh, I didn't expect it, I didn't expect it." Sheng Guogang inhaled like a toothache: "It is said that the manager's surname is Dai, but I didn't expect it to be your brother who opened the door."

Tang Anqi patted his back continuously: "Damn it, I heard that Manager Dai is coming, but I didn't expect that it was your brother who came in!"

Tang Anqi and Sheng Guogang huddled together, slapped each other kindly, then pressed their cheeks together, and then separated.This time, the two parties sat together on the sofa in the room, and talked about the situation after the farewell while holding hot tea.Sheng Guogang was born with a dignified appearance, but now he is probably proud of his spring breeze, and his face is more and more radiant.Talking about his current life, he was very restrained and proud, and his language was very humble, saying that he was just so-so, but after only a few words, he took the initiative to explain that he had settled down in Geleshan.

"The house was built last year." He said lightly, "If we have an air-raid shelter, we can save ourselves from suffering!"

When Tang Anqi heard this, she knew that this gentleman had made a fortune.

Sheng Guogang lit a cigarette and looked very calm: "Actually, I didn't plan to move to Gele Mountain, but my friends insisted on persuading me to go. It happened that there was a piece of land there, very close to the Su Mansion and Gui Mansion, and the environment was very good , I made up my mind. It’s just that it’s very troublesome to go to the city. Although there are cars, it’s even more difficult to get gasoline.”

Tang Anqi was almost shocked by Sheng Guogang's boastful humility.

At this time, Sheng Guogang turned to Tang Anqi, and asked with a pleasant smile: "Brother, how are you doing now?"

Tang Anqi originally felt that she was doing well, but in front of Sheng Guogang, her achievements seemed much smaller, and it was not worth mentioning.Raising his hand embarrassingly and scratching his ear, he faltered and replied: "I... just eat it! Do you remember Dai Limin? I came out with him, and now we live together and do business. Dai here The manager is him."

Sheng Guogang almost didn't remember Dai Limin, but he pretended to remember and nodded, and asked again: "Then this business, is it up to you or him?"

Tang Anqi raised her head: "Of course I have the final say."

Sheng Guogang nodded with satisfaction: "My partner is also surnamed Dai. In the first half of the year, he caught up with the bombing in the city. He was trampled and broke his leg in the big tunnel. He was terrified. He went to Hong Kong just after the plaster was removed. .So the matter here is also handled by me. It just so happens that we have something to talk about, which will save trouble."

Tang Anqi smiled and said: "Isn't it just to buy nails? No problem, the same profit, who am I selling to? If you want to buy it, then we can sign a contract now. You pay the deposit, and I will sell the nails directly. Send it to your warehouse. The price is based on the current market price. When the nail arrives in the future, no matter how the outside price rises, our price will remain the same. Okay?"

Sheng Guogang patted his thigh happily: "That's great! I've seen that your brother is a happy person, so it's decided!"

Tang Anqi got up and took out a pen and paper, and wrote the contract little by little.Sheng Guogang signed and pledged in the past, and a deal was concluded.Tang Anqi was in a good mood, and seeing noon, she wanted to invite Sheng Guogang out for dinner.Sheng Guogang agreed without hesitation, but before the two of them had enough wine and food, he secretly went to meet the bill and refused to let Tang Anqi spend money.

Tang Anqi sold a carload of nails and found an old friend, which can be described as a double gain.After returning home, he told Dai Limin about his adventure today. Dai Limin just came back from the warehouse. Hearing this, he thought about it carefully, and finally replied: "I remember this person named Sheng, when you brought me I've met him several times. There's nothing wrong with this guy, but when he sees you, he hugs and hugs you."

Tang Anqi didn't like to hear this, so she snorted coldly: "It's a good thing I'm not a woman, otherwise you would have to give me a family law!"

Dai Limin was busy lighting the stove, so he didn't have time to look at him: "If you're a bitch, I won't let you go out at all."

After saying this, he turned around and hugged Tang Anqi and kissed her, then let go and continued to light the stove.Tang Anqi walked around him, finally bent down behind him, and covered his cold ears with her warm hands.

After two days of this, the truck returned from Kunming and unloaded a load of nails into the warehouse designated by Sheng Guogang.As soon as the nail hit the ground, Sheng Guogang issued a promissory note to pay the balance.Tang Anqi and Dai Limin went to the bank together, and Dai Limin said on the way: "Although I suffered a little loss in terms of the total price, I got the money very well."

Tang Anqi replied: "That's the trick, otherwise why give him a low price?"

Then he sighed, "Sheng Guogang is very rich now, so of course he won't renege on his debts."

Tang Anqi and Dai Limin finished their official business, and then they were free, so they bought some food and wine, and went home to eat and drink.The room was warmed by the stove, and the two drank enough wine, got into the bed and hugged each other to sleep.While sleeping soundly, the phone rang.

Both of them were awakened. Tang Anqi stretched her legs to kick Dai Limin. Dai Limin closed his eyes and remained motionless, trying to pretend to be asleep.After a while, Tang Anqi couldn't hold on any longer, she jumped out of bed cursing and went to the outside room.

Dai Limin was so comfortable in the bed that he was ecstatic, and he heard Tang Anqi laughing and laughing outside.He didn't know when his side sank, he stretched out his hand to touch it, and pulled Tang Anqi back into his arms.

Tang Anqi's body was cold, but her voice was very loud: "Runzi, let's go to Sheng Guogang's place tomorrow afternoon. Sheng Guogang got a sheep, and it's about to be roasted for us to eat!"

Dai Limin replied with sleepiness: "Taste."

Tang Anqi took a bite of his face: "Then instead of roasting mutton, roast raccoons! The raccoons are delicious."

In the afternoon of the next day, Tang Anqi and Dai Limin went to the appointment on time and arrived at Sheng Guogang's residence in the city. Since it was not easy to eat free food empty-handed, they carried net bags, five or six tin cans and several bottles of good wine.

Sheng Guogang borrowed a house in the city to live in. This house was originally a two-story western-style building, but it was turned into a bungalow after several bombings. The facilities in the house are complete, and the furniture is decent.

When the two arrived, Sheng Guogang had already chopped up a fat sheep.A leg of lamb was pierced with iron rods and put on the fire, blood dripping down.It was a pretty young woman who helped him wipe the table and carry the bowls and chopsticks.Tang Anqi looked around after entering the door, and immediately recognized the identity of the woman—maybe she wasn't Sheng Guogang's serious girlfriend, but at best, she was a romantic date.

Smiling and nodding at the woman, Tang Anqi turned to Sheng Guogang and asked loudly, "Hey! Where did you get the barbecue stuff? These things are not common now!"

Sheng Guogang wiped his hands with a towel, and replied triumphantly: "A friend brought it from Beiping, let me borrow it! I haven't eaten roast lamb in many years, today we will have meat!"

After saying this, he unceremoniously took out a can from the net pocket, cut open the iron sheet with a knife, and saw that it was a peach.He picked up a piece and put it in his mouth to chew a few mouthfuls. He raised his eyebrows: "Where did you buy this can?"

Tang Anqi smiled and said, "I'm sure you won't be able to buy it in Chongqing. This is an American product brought over from Kunming. It's an aid to China!"

Sheng Guogang said several times that it was delicious, and then picked up the remaining cans in a net bag: "It's all mine, I'll take it home and give it to my brother to eat!"

Then he continued to squeeze the peaches with his hands and put them in his mouth, without calling the young woman to come and taste them.The woman seemed to be used to it, and she was not angry.

The roasted lamb is charred on the outside and tender on the inside, with a tangy aroma.These people ate their mouths full of oil and were satisfied.Sheng Guogang stood in front of the table, raised one foot to step on the stool, and held a sheep bone in the other hand. He had a heroic image, talking and laughing, and drinking.When mentioning his career, he became more and more angry, going to Hong Kong for a while, Yangon for a while, and Calcutta for a while.After all, it was only true to go to Hong Kong, so she asked Tang Anqi: "If you want me to bring something back, just make a list for me, and don't meet outsiders!"

Dai Limin concentrated on chewing the tender mutton, while Tang Anqi held a large piece of meat in her hand, and replied, "You can bring me two high-end western medicines. It doesn't need to be too much. I will give you the list tomorrow."

Sheng Guogang answered quickly, and then shouted in a rough voice: "I said, hot and sour soup isn't ready yet?"

The young woman answered in the kitchen next door: "Now!"

Sheng Guogang turned his head and spat out a piece of mutton that couldn't be chewed, and changed the subject casually: "This stinky bitch, if you don't beat her for three days, go to the house to expose the tiles!"

Tang Anqi and Dai Limin had a full meal in Sheng's house and were very satisfied.And Sheng Guogang flew to Hong Kong by plane, and sure enough, he brought some western medicines to Tang Anqi.

Tang Anqi gave the western medicine carton to the driver and asked him to go to Kunming to buy the medicine according to the sample.The first time the driver went, he failed to buy it; the second time he succeeded, he brought back two large boxes of western medicine.Tang Anqi sold western medicine and made a fortune.This time the savings were substantial, and he bought another truck.The two trucks teamed up and started rushing through Kunming towards Yangon.
