Infinite Throne

For dinner, Lin Yebai looked at Zhang Xiaoming with encouraging eyes. This dutiful son who is a good cook reheated the leftovers at noon, so the pork became softer and rotten. The color of people.

Zhang Xiaoming put the wine bottle on the table with a bang. Old Beijing Red Star Erguotou, a bottle of 500ml, 56 degrees, is very strong.

"Dad, do you want to drink?"

"Don't drink."

"A real man should drink Erguotou." Zhang Xiaoming urged.

"When I was young, I drank three bottles at a time. You can't even finish one bottle, right?" Lin Yebai put down his chopsticks.

"Who says you can't drink it all, a bottle is still fine."

"Dad, here's some for you."

"Okay." Lin Yebai did not refuse this time.

Zhang Xiaoming filled the disposable cup and signaled his father to drink it, and he blew directly on the bottle, tons and tons.

Lin Yebai waited for him, opened two more bottles of Red Star Erguotou, and handed them to Zhang Xiaoming.

"Dad, did I drink too much?"

"Not much, you can still drink."

"Dad, am I drunk, why do you think your hair is white?"

"I'm getting old." Lin Yebai's tone was flat.

"No... your hair is long... Dad, your eyes are so red..."

Zhang Xiaoming couldn't help shivering, seeing things doubled, and felt dizzy.

"Presbyopia." Lin Yebai explained seriously.

Maybe drinking more Erguotou can give you a glimpse of the reality of the world?

But reality is not necessarily better than illusion.

"No...I don't think so..." Zhang Xiaoming chuckled and drank the bottle of Erguotou in one gulp.

"Just another bottle." Lin Yebai opened another bottle of Erguotou and handed it over.

"Yes, yes, Dad, you are right!"

The wine that Zhang Xiaoming poured for Lin Yebai before was also poured into the Erguotou bottle by Lin Yebai, slightly avoiding Zhang Xiaoming's sight and not letting him see it.

"Dad, fill me up quickly!"

"Even if you are my father today, you still have to listen to me and fill me up..."

Zhang Xiaoming's face turned red, and he repeatedly patted the table.

"Okay." Lin Yebai was also very gentle with this filial son today, pouring wine as soon as he said it, and filling it up when he said it was full.

[Literary Teacher]: Father is kind and son is filial

[Left and right are men]: Father's love is like a mountain

[class representative]: tears

Zhang Xiaoming drinks too much, or every man has a dream in his heart, whatever he refers to, the old father will do whatever.This feeling of pointing and hitting is simply refreshing.

When Lin Yebai opened a bottle, he took another, like a drinking machine.As a person who eats, eats, drinks, and has fun all the year round, Zhang Xiaoming can drink quite well. He drank five bottles of Erguotou and still hasn't poured it down. When Lin Yebai opened the sixth bottle, Zhang Xiaoming finally fell down on the table, snoring like thunder.

Lin Yebai took a bed blanket from Zhang Xiaoming's bedroom and covered Zhang Xiaoming's back. The porridge he cooked for himself was ready. After eating, he went downstairs to play chess with the old men nearby.

Retirement life is so ordinary, it is a relaxed and happy day.

In the afternoon of the next day, Zhang Xiaoming finally woke up. His neck could hardly be stretched straight. His whole body was sore, stiff and numb. The most terrible thing was his head, which was throbbing with pain.

He almost couldn't hold back, and limped to the bathroom, only to avoid the fate of peeing his pants. After washing his face with cold water, his head hurt even more.Last night, I had a drink with my dad, and then it broke.How much did you drink?

He counted, six bottles of Red Star Erguotou, some bottles were opened but not drunk.

"Dad, how many bottles did I drink last night?"

"Two bottles fell down." Lin Yebai was about to go out again, and it was time to play chess.

"It shouldn't be..." Zhang Xiaoming had a terrible headache and couldn't think of anything.

"Dad, have you drank three bottles?"

"Heh." Lin Yebai smiled and didn't say anything. Holding a thermos, he walked calmly and devoted himself to the wild chess competition held in the park every day.

Of course, this leisurely state did not last long.

Lin Yebai's newly bought smart phone rang, and he took out his mobile phone to answer the call. The other old men and women all showed expressions of disbelief when they found out that he could actually use a smart phone.

Lao Zhang is so fashionable!

"Dad, there is a problem with one of the company's projects... Do you have any money in your hand? I will return the money to you immediately after this hurdle is over." It was the voice of the boss Zhang Xiaogang, tired and confident, he subconsciously had a kind of confidence, I feel that I will not be rejected by my old father.

"No."

"The old house..." Zhang Xiaogang asked.

"Oh, the old house was sold a long time ago, and it was sold to a landlord of that building. Although I lived in it for a few years, I was still paying rent. Back then, your mother's medical expenses and my medical expenses were all spent. It's almost there." Lin Yebai opened his mouth and came.

"Dad, when did you sell it? Why didn't you tell us and how much did you sell?" Zhang Xiaogang asked repeatedly.

"I can't remember, it was sold for a few years."

"Dad! Have you been tricked?" Zhang Xiaogang's voice suddenly amplified, Lin Yebai didn't turn on the speaker, the volume was loud enough that all the old men around could hear it, and everyone showed the expression of an old man on the subway looking at his phone.The most annoying thing for young people to say is "have you been deceived".

Lin Yebai hung up the phone, too lazy to talk, another dutiful son was about to appear.

"Old Zhang, what's the matter?" the old man asked.

"It's okay, don't worry about it, continue to play... where is my rook?" Lin Yebai found that one of his chess pieces was missing.

"I don't know." The old man looked confused.

"Fire the cannon and defeat your army." Lin Yebai pushed the pawn and won another game.The current old comrades don't talk about Wude, in order to win a game of chess, they have used all 36 tricks, which is very cunning.

"Old Zhang, can't you just let me go?"

"It's a matter of principle."

"The Wuliangye my son bought, let you drink two cups."

"No drinking." Lin Yebai was firm.

"The Dahongpao from Wuyi Mountain, can I bring you some?"

"No tea." Lin Yebai still refused.

"What do you drink without tea if you carry a thermos cup every day?"

"Soak wolfberries."

"you really!"

The old men around all showed expressions of hatred for iron.

After fighting hard, Lin Yebai successfully won the wild chess competition. On the way back, he called a landlord of the old house and colluded with him so as not to reveal his secrets.

Zhang Xiaoming was still sleeping, snoring like thunder, his mobile phone was ringing, and the caller showed "Big Brother", but Zhang Xiaoming didn't notice it.

Lin Yebai helped Zhang Xiaoming block Zhang Xiaogang's phone so as not to affect Zhang Xiaoming's sleep. After blocking Zhang Xiaoming, it was much quieter.Zhang Xiaoming's frown was relaxed, and he seemed to be sleeping soundly.

Sure enough, Erguotou, the red star, can relieve a thousand worries when drunk.

Zhang Xiaogang didn't get through the phone, and was in a hurry to ask for money, a high-speed rail ticket, and came to this city overnight, knocking on the door outside at one or two o'clock in the morning.

In order not to wake up the neighbors, Lin Yebai got up and opened the door.

"dad!"

In fact, Zhang Xiaogang hadn't seen his old father for a long time, facing that oppressive gaze, he felt a little nervous for a while.

"Where's Xiao Ming?" Zhang Xiaogang asked.

"Sleeping." Lin Yebai glanced at Zhang Xiaogang, who came out with a briefcase in his pocket. It seemed that he had never thought about bringing some presents for his old father. He knew to bring a present when he went to the home of colleagues and leaders. , Look at the parents but forget.

"Dad, I'm here..."

"I'll talk about it tomorrow if I have something to do. Clean up the sanitation first."

Lin Yebai looked around and saw that the living room was in a mess. Although Zhang Xiaoming did a simple cleaning, the house was still dirty and messy. There were a lot of dishes piled up in the sink, and the landlord was in tears when he saw it.

"Dad..." Zhang Xiaogang said rejection all over his face. He was still wearing a suit, so how could it be convenient for cleaning.

"It's up to you." Lin Yebai went back to the room and locked the door behind him.

His room is neat and clean, completely different from the outside.As for what Zhang Xiaogang should do, where to sleep is not his concern.

Zhang Xiaogang didn't dare to sit down, for fear that the sofa would be dirty and his suit would be dirty. If he hadn't really run out of money, he wouldn't have even entered this place.

In the past, he would definitely spend money to live outside and hire housekeepers to clean, but a penny is hard for a hero, and he doesn't have much money left, so he should save it.

After thinking and thinking, Zhang Xiaogang still took off his suit, and Zhang Xiaoming happened to have clothes drying on the balcony, so he changed into them, and then started cleaning.

I haven't done this kind of thing for a long time, and I'm still a little rusty. If you behave better, you should be able to get the money, right?

Dad actually sold the house. It sounds like he is selling it now. The house price has increased several times in the past few years, really! ! !

The more he thought about it, the more he felt that he was at a disadvantage. He mopped the floor as hard as he could, took off the floor, cleaned the room thoroughly, and didn't care whether the sofa was oily or not, so he just dumped it on it and fell asleep.

Now Lin Yebai doesn't tell Zhang Xiaoming to wake up early.Because going to bed early and getting up early is good for your health, and if Zhang Xiaoming is in good health, you won't be able to buy longevity insurance.At least you have to enter the ICU, or you have cancer to buy life insurance, and you are eligible if your life is endangered.

Zhang Xiaoming woke up on time at 05:30 with the biological clock developed some time ago. He had slept for a day and two nights, but his body was still sore. When he got out of the bedroom, he found his eldest brother Zhang Xiaogang lying on his sofa!

Good guy, hasn't Zhang Xiaogang always looked down on him?How come here is really strange.Did he know about longevity insurance?

Zhang Xiaoming felt guilty and didn't wake Zhang Xiaogang up. He planned to stay at a friend's house for two days to hide.

Zhang Xiaogang couldn't get used to sleeping on the sofa, so he turned over and just fell off, supported his waist, and when he opened his eyes, he found Zhang Xiaoming here.

"Xiao Ming, why didn't you answer my call yesterday?"

"Drank too much."

"At such an age, I know how to drink, and I don't improve at all!" Zhang Xiaogang reprimanded habitually.

"You are growing up, why are you here?" Zhang Xiaoming said angrily.

"Dad said he sold the house. I was afraid that he would be cheated, so I came to have a look."

"When was it sold, why don't I know?" Zhang Xiaoming looked suspicious.

"I don't know when he sold it. It seems like he sold it for a few years, really! The house price over there has risen to [-] recently."

"Maybe it wasn't sold. Besides, this house belongs to Dad. Whether it's sold or not is none of your business?" Zhang Xiaoming asked.

"Of course I have a share of Dad's house, even if it is sold for money." Zhang Xiaogang said confidently.

"We should share this money equally." Zhang Xiaoming was also moved.

"Won't the money be lost if you put it in your hands? If you invest it with me, there will be at least 20% interest per year."

"Really?" Zhang Xiaoming half-believed.

"Of course, I'm your brother, how could I lie to you?"

The two discussed, completely forgetting about Zhang Xiaohong in the middle, and completely forgetting the wishes of the old father.

"If you want this money, you have to make our dad happy." Zhang Xiaoming rolled his eyes.

"Aren't you the favorite of him? You come."

"That was when I was a child, and now my father doesn't like me, and he says every day that he wants to live with my second sister."

"If you can't let him go, you can coax him more."

The door of the second bedroom opened with a creak, and Lin Yebai got up.

Zhang Xiaogang and Zhang Xiaoming froze instantly, not daring to look at their old father's face.But Lin Yebai looked normal, went to the bathroom to wash up, and then went downstairs with a thermos.

"Dad, what is he going to do?"

When Lin Yebai left, Zhang Xiao just asked.

"Sword dance in the park." Zhang Xiaoming has gotten used to it recently.

"Did you say he heard it?" Zhang Xiaogang asked in a low voice.

"Probably not. I'm a little deaf when I'm old, and we didn't speak too loudly just now." Zhang Xiaoming was a little uncertain.

"What if I hear it?" Zhang Xiaogang seemed to see a sum of money flying away in front of him.

"I heard that he must pack up his things and go to the second sister's house, and now he is going to the park to dance swords, so I must not have heard." Zhang Xiaoming smiled: "You know our dad's temper, like a powder keg, it explodes at a touch, really Do you want to hear us and not smoke us?"

"Be careful next time." Zhang Xiaogang breathed a sigh of relief, a little scared.
