we don't do business during the day

You Zhou and Zhong Kaifei haven't seen each other for some years.They have been classmates since childhood. After graduating from high school, You Zhou chose to go to other places to study in college, while Zhong Kaifei stayed in the local area to work.When You Zhou was studying abroad, he met a classmate in high school and learned about Zhong Kaifei's situation from him.After graduating from high school, Zhong Kaifei and his father formed a labor contracting team, usually doing work on the construction site, earning enough money to support a family of three.Although Zhong Kaifei and You Zhou are good friends, they are very different.What is the difference?That is, Zhong Kaifei is a better person. He has been studying how to find a partner since he was sensible.From junior high school to high school, Zhong Kaifei has changed many partners.Until he was 21 years old, Zhong Kaifei finally met a girl who could control him, and thus entered the palace of marriage.

The good times didn't last long. Two years after Zhong Kaifei got married, his wife died in a car accident just after giving birth to a fat son.In the following six months, accidents followed one after another, and there was a problem at the construction site. As a result, Zhong Kaifei's father got a serious illness and died in the hospital.Today, the happy family that Zhong Kaifei has always been proud of has been torn apart, leaving only his old mother with white hair and a son who is in kindergarten.

You Zhou and Zhong Kaifei were born in the same year, and after seeing each other for a few years, there was an illusion that the father saw his son.Zhong Kaifei is too old, the wrinkles on his forehead can almost kill a fly, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes are almost a sign that he has entered middle age early.The only thing that hasn't changed is Zhong Kaifei's chubby figure.The old classmates were very excited to meet each other. Zhong Kaifei parked the car at a safe place on the side of the road, turned around and looked at You Zhou and said, "I haven't seen you for so many years, you kid hasn't changed."

You Zhou laughed and said, "How could it not change?"

Zhong Kaifei stretched out his hand and pushed You Zhou's shoulder, and said with a smile, "You kid didn't want to contact me when you came back. Maybe it's because you don't know your old classmates because you have the ability."

You Zhou smiled and said, "Come on, am I that kind of person!"

Zhong Kaifei asked with a smile: "You won't leave this time, will you?"

You Zhou nodded, "Why are you leaving? My mother is getting old, and she always worries about me if she is too far away. I have to come back to develop for her."

"That's right, no matter how good it is outside, it's as good as your own home, don't you think so?" Zhong Kaifei took out a cigarette from his pocket, handed it to You Zhou, and after being rejected, he lit one himself.Zhong Kaifei took a puff of cigarette, and then asked, "What are you going to do when you come back?"

You Zhou smiled and said, "To tell you the truth, I came back this time and borrowed some money from my brother to open a shop in Honghui Building."

"Open a shop? What are you doing?"

"Scented wax."

"Candle?"

You Zhou laughed and said, "It's the incense used in offerings, not ordinary candles."

"Is that so." Zhong Kaifei thought for a while and asked, "How about the profit?"

You Zhou smiled and said, "I still can't see it now, I just opened for less than a month."

"Don't worry, I promise I won't be able to pay you back." Zhong Kaifei looked sideways at You Zhou and said, "I haven't seen you in so many years, do you think I've changed a lot, buddy?"

You Zhou nodded hesitantly, "It's quite big."

Zhong Kaifei sighed, "You kid obviously knows everything, but you still have to pretend to be with me. It's really boring."

You Zhou scratched his head, "Actually, I also heard something from our classmates, not much!"

Zhong Kaifei nodded, "I heard what they said, I met you outside." Zhong Kaifei looked at You Zhou carefully again, and said with a smile: "You kid is getting better and better now, buddy, I'm really happy for you .”

You Zhou waved his hand: "That's how I am, just mess around."

Having said that, Zhong Kaifei took a deep puff of his cigarette, leaned back on the seat and said, "Dude, I don't know what happened these few years, it's really unlucky." Zhong Kaifei turned his head to look at You Zhou and said, "I heard that I Is it about the daughter-in-law?"

You Zhou nodded, "It's been several years, are you still single?"

Zhong Kaifei smiled wryly and said, "My wife has been away for three or four years, and my son knows how to make soy sauce now." When Zhong Kaifei mentioned his son, he couldn't hide the joy in his expression, and said quickly: "Let me tell you, My son is so fun and smart, every day when I come out to do some work, he will tell me to be careful."

You Zhou also likes children very much, and said happily: "Really, you are so sensible at such a young age, and you can't make mistakes when you grow up."

"Isn't it?" Zhong Kaifei was a little disappointed, lowered his head and said, "I'm living for my mother and my son now." Zhong Kaifei's eyes were a little moist, and he sniffed and said with a slight smile: "Guarantee!" I was chatting with you about my parents, and I forgot to ask where you were."

You Zhou hurriedly said, "I'm going to the store now, aren't I?"

"Honghui?" Zhong Kaifei started the car, "I'll take you there right away."

On the way to Honghui Building, You Zhou and Zhong Kaifei chatted casually. In order not to make Zhong Kaifei feel sad, You Zhou tried his best to avoid issues related to his family affairs.In addition, You Zhou also secretly took a look at Zhong Kaifei's face. The strange thing is that Zhong Kaifei is full of heaven and looks blessed. He really can't see why he encountered so many ups and downs.In order to take a closer look, You Zhou deliberately dropped the house key in the driver's cab. When he bent down to pick it up, You Zhou took a careful look at his facial features, but there were still no ominous signs.

"Hey, what are you thinking, it's all over the place." Zhong Kaifei parked his car on the road opposite Honghui Building and said, "I can't make a U-turn when I go around here, buddy, you are a little tired, go over there .”

You Zhou laughed while talking: "It's done, it's a matter of two steps." You Zhou took out 500 yuan from his pocket and handed it to Zhong Kaifei, "Xiao Fei, I didn't catch up with your marriage. I didn’t drink, there is 500 yuan here, you can buy some food for the child, after I am busy these days, I will go to see my aunt and the child.”

"Hey boy, what's the matter?" Zhong Kaifei pushed the money back, "We were so ferromagnetic two years ago, you're slapping me in the face by making such a fuss now."

You Zhou said: "I don't care, you have to keep the money anyway, I gave it to the child and not to you, you have no right to refuse, you take it first, in case I go, your son says no I will take it return."

"Oh, I'll go, you..."

Before Zhong Kaifei could finish speaking, You Zhou stuffed the money into his pocket, "The taxi fare is included." You Zhou deliberately glanced at the meter and said with a smile, "It's only 25."

"You kid is really getting more and more funny."

You Zhou smiled and said, "Just keep the money. Give me your phone number. I'll call you in two days."

"Success." Zhong Kaifei rummaged through the co-pilot's drawer for a long time, found a faded business card and said, "This is still printed before, and the phone has not been changed, just call me according to the number above. "

You Zhou took the business card and said with a smile, "Okay, I'll go to the store first." You Zhou opened the door and got out of the car, bent down and said to Zhong Kaifei, "You should pay attention to safety when driving, and don't drive tired, do you hear me?"

Zhong Kaifei chuckled, "I always called you my daughter-in-law when I was young, but now you really care about me?"

You Zhou blushed immediately, and asked with a smile: "Is there any? Why don't I remember."

"Just pretend." Zhong Kaifei closed the car door, waved his hand at Youzhou and said, "I have to hurry up and get in touch with you when I have time."

You Zhou nodded, "Okay, see you later."

Zhong Kaifei drove away, and You Zhou stood there watching for a long time before entering Honghui Building.Today is probably the latest day since the store opened. At three o'clock in the afternoon, You Zhou opened the shutter door. It happened that the proprietress of the clothing store next door came out to throw out the trash. Seeing You Zhou, she first smiled and said, "What's wrong with your shop?" It's so late."

You Zhou smiled and said, "It's over."

The proprietress smiled and said: "It looks like there is no shortage of money, if it is really short of money, how can you be so lax."

You Zhou laughed and said, "How can I have any money, I'm just lazy."

"Hurry up and open the shop, I'll go take out the trash."

"Okay, you are busy."

You Zhou opened the shop door and went in. When he saw anyone outside the glass door, Gumantong jumped out of the clay doll.Seeing You Zhou being very intimate, Gu Mantong hugged You Zhou's leg and said, "Dad, have you bought me a bellyband yet?"

You Zhou slapped his forehead, "Son, Dad apologizes to you, I've been too busy these days, so I forgot about it."

The little guy was not upset, but smiled and said: "I knew Dad would forget, next time I will definitely stick a note on your forehead, hehe."

You Zhou thought for a while, nodded and said, "It's a good idea."

Gumantong snickered, took a few glances outside the door, and then asked, "Isn't Dad coming today?"

You Zhou squatted down, hugged the little guy in his arms and said, "Your dad won't be here today."

"Why?"

You Zhou leaned into the little guy's ear and said, "Because your father was injured and needs to recuperate at home."

Gumantong turned pale with shock, "Who can hurt Dad."

When You Zhou heard this, he was stunned. While carefully looking at Gumantong, the little guy seemed to have reacted, and quickly lowered his head and said, "Dad, I want to drink to refresh myself."

You Zhou looked at him curiously, "Okay, I'll buy it for you later."

Gumantong secretly glanced at You Zhou, wanting to see the change of You Zhou's expression, but he didn't want to, but found a cloud of mist lingering above You Zhou's heaven.The little guy froze for a moment, hugged You Zhou's arm with both hands and looked back and forth carefully.You Zhou was a little taken aback by him, so he asked: "What are you looking at, little guy, daddy has flowers on his face?"

Gu Mantong frowned slightly, and said like a little adult: "Father, your complexion is very bad, let Dad help you take a look."

"Is there?" You Zhou touched his face, got up and looked at himself in front of the mirror in the small warehouse, "No, I think it's quite normal."

"It's better to let Dad take a look."

You Zhou rubbed the little guy's head in relief, and said with a smile: "Got it." You Zhou turned around and left the small warehouse, stretched his waist and said, "Come on, let's start work." You Zhou walked to the table He took the statement and started counting today's goods. When he was busy, the little guy squatted beside You Zhou and said, "Dad, I have something to tell you."

You Zhou tilted his head and glanced at him, "Say it."

Gumantong said: "At about noon today, I came out of the clay sculpture and wandered around the shop. At that time, I saw a person."

"Alone? Who is it?" You Zhou sat on the ground, looking at the little guy seriously.

Gumantong thought for a while and said, "That person seems to be able to see me, and he has an evil look on his face." Gumantong looked outside through the glass window, "I don't think that person is a good person."

You Zhou chuckled, "My precious son can also see people, it's amazing."

The little guy turned his face down, pouted and said, "What I said is true."

You Zhou quickly put away his smile, and said solemnly: "Well, Dad knows that what you said is true."

The little guy gave You Zhou a blank look, "I won't tell you anymore, I'm going to sleep." Gumantong stood up and got into the clay doll in the blink of an eye.

You Zhou looked at the clay doll and said with a smile: "You are not old, but you have a hot temper."

To be honest, You Zhou didn't take Gumantong's words to heart, and after the shop started serving people, You Zhou had long since thrown this matter out of the blue.After working for three hours, You Zhou closed the shop as soon as it was getting dark, and went to the supermarket downstairs to buy some snacks for Gumantong. After serving the offering, he hurried home with the bucket of black dog blood.
