Chapter 44 Family

The little prince said before that Anton's family would come soon, but he didn't expect that "immediately" would be much faster than he expected, and he was caught off guard.Didn't you agree to come over in two weeks?It was only the fifth day, when the head of the circus called and said they were already on the train, arriving at 04:30 in the afternoon.

The plan was disrupted, and the little prince was a little unhappy.Anton is very busy recently, and he and Wei Tao are basically in contact with the arrangement of the circus.Originally thinking that after two weeks, the dust on ER807 would be settled, and Anton would greet his old friend in a down-to-earth manner, but whoever thought that there would be a house on fire rushed over there.

Forget it, as long as it comes, it will be safe.

The little prince rushed to Yalan Xiaozhu, and it happened that An Dong had just returned from its space with Fatty and Qin Guan.

The little prince told him that the people from the circus had arrived, and Wei Tao was taking them to the station to pick him up, "Should we order some food? Is the girl back yet? Wei Tao is not letting her cook."

An Dong said that the girl would stay there to look after the shop.In addition, he didn't let the little prince take the circus people to Xiaohei Lou, just find a home-cooked restaurant outside.

The little prince disagreed, "That's not going to happen, they are all from my own family, eating outside seems raw and insincere."

Anton looked at him amusedly, "You don't even know them and dare to talk about your family? Listen to me, you're right, if you really want them to feel honorable, you have to give them some noodles. No seafood, just big meat , chicken, duck, fish and another elbow."

The little prince: "Is it so simple?"

Anton: "You are a city person who doesn't understand these things, this is called hard food."

The little prince and Qin Guan were a little confused. With the current standard of living, can chicken, duck and fish be called hard dishes?

Fatty is still knowledgeable, "Northern hard dishes require large pieces of meat, heavy oil and heavy salt, marinated first and then marinated, and then stewed on high heat before serving, and then poured sauce to thicken it, the oil is shiny and shiny, this is the best way to eat meat." Call hard!"

Anton smiled and patted the fat man's round head, "That's right. If there are no hard dishes, even if you give them a bowl of shark's fin for rice, they will think you are treating them poorly."

The little prince rolled his eyes, "All right, all right, listen to you, it's all your family anyway."

Anton: "No, they're just people who gave me food."

Two hours later, in a chain of home-cooked restaurants, the people who had served Anton finally ate with Anton again after a few years.

In order to fulfill the friendship of the landlord, the little prince must accompany Wei Tao, and Qin Guan and Fatty are also accompanying him.

Nearly twenty people came to the circus, far exceeding the number that Anton had agreed with the head of the troupe.After inquiring, I found out that a few ex-members who had left the regiment heard the news and ran back to beg the regiment leader.

The living conditions of circuses are very poor nowadays.In the era of information explosion, who would like to be crowded in a greenhouse, smelling cats and dogs and watching a circus? If you have time to suffer from this, it is better to use Douyin at home.

Tickets cannot be sold, and large animals cannot be kept.There are no hard programs, only some parallel imports left.Even so, magicians are always torn down. After watching too many videos revealing the secrets of magic, the audience laughs at them as pediatrics, money-swindling country bumpkins, and clamors for refunds.

The children performing acrobatics could not stay, and would rather go to work in factories.The masters were injured all over, and the top of the big tank had been dropped several times, and the tank was cracked, so they secretly replaced it with hard plastic ones.

The head of the group looked at a table of chickens, ducks and fishes, and his eye circles were red.Said that they hadn't eaten such a serious meal for a long time, and it was going to be winter, so it would be nice to have a warm meal.

The members of the regiment swung their arms one by one, and their heads almost plunged into the bowl.Pulling your neck and asking the waiter to add more food, and scolding others for such a small rice bowl, who are you cheating?

The blind fortune-teller's nine-year-old daughter put the little prince on the table, Da Su Shun left, and wanted to follow Tao's cell phone, but Anton took a look and immediately shrank under the table.

One can imagine how disturbing this meal was.

The little prince's signature golden retriever smile is completely broken.Sitting next to him was King Dali, who was performing as a boulder-crusher in the troupe. He liked to smack his mouth when he was eating, and the little prince was so annoyed that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas ascended to heaven.

However, Wei Tao, who seems to be completely unfriendly to the people, performed very well. Not only was he able to get along with everyone calmly, but he also took the time to remind the little prince in a low voice: "A real gentleman is not not talking when eating, but even if the people next to him don't talk. He should not have noticed the vulgarity, and continue to treat it with proper etiquette."

Just at this time, Brother Feidao, who was juggling next to him, patted him on the shoulder, "Drink, this wine is good!"

Wei Tao clinked glasses with him.

Brother Feidao usually loves wine, but it's rare that he opened his mouth to drink today, and his face is already red and his neck is thick.Looking sideways at Wei Tao, he suddenly stretched out his hand and licked his head, "Big Brother, this hairstyle is very trendy, I see that all the celebrities in the magazines have this hairstyle."

Wei Tao's wolf running head was in a mess, and icicles hung on his face when he brushed it.

The little prince smirked beside him, "Don't lose face, aren't you a gentleman, continue to treat him with courtesy."

Anton was grabbed by the group leader to speak at another table.Said that he is stronger than before and promising.

The blind fortune-teller also took off his sunglasses and stopped pretending to be blind, "He has been smart since he was a child, if he has been running with me all the time, he is now a master, he must have a high spirit!"

Anton looked at him lightly with a cigarette in his mouth, "It's not a question of high spirits. I can learn anything from you. Let's see what you have taught Xiaohui to be."

Xiaohui is the blind man's daughter, and when she heard this, she gave Anton a hard look, but Anton pretended not to see it.

After the meal, Anton took people to the supermarket.The basement and the ground floor are the business area, and the second floor is twelve single rooms that have been partitioned, with a shared large bathroom and a large kitchen at the end.

But more people came than agreed before, and the house was not enough, so a group of people fought openly and secretly.Everyone has problems, everyone has reasons, and everyone wants a private room.

Anton threw the question to the head of the group, and whoever brought it would naturally take care of it.

And off they go.Back at Yalan Xiaozhu, the first thing Fatty said when he entered the door was: "Brother Dong, you should stay away from these people. It's enough to give food, shelter, and work. This is what the hell!"

Anton put on his slippers and sat on the sofa, "I was raised by this kind of stuff."

Fatty: "Well, I can see that Xiaohui'er's way of following Dasu is exactly the same as when you first met the little prince."

Qin Guan: "And Brother Feidao, Mr. Hu Luwei's hair is the same as yours last time."

Anton: "This is called inheritance."

Then the three looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

Fatty: "Brother Dong, let me tell you the truth. Sooner or later, these people will have to stab someone. You can do what you want."

Anton said: "Don't worry, that's what I planned too. I handed over the management of the supermarket to Wei Tao, and I agreed to let the people in the regiment sign the labor contract. If you work hard, you can continue to work, and you will be paid five insurances and one housing fund." , whoever causes trouble will be fired, no discussion."

The fat man patted his belly, "I'm relieved. Sigh, I didn't eat well tonight, let's order some takeaway."

Qin Guan refused, saying that he had just finished pumping the bone marrow not long ago, so he should pay attention to nutrition and not eat those junk foods.Then I cooked a pot of noodle soup myself, and while the noodles were cooking, I fried a few eggs and cut some ham or something.After a while, the noodle soup came out of the pot, and with the ready-made side dishes at home, there were seven dishes and eight bowls on the coffee table.

The fat man whistled, "Our Qin Guan is really virtuous."

Qin Guan was a little proud, and turned to Anton and said, "In a few days, ER807 will be ready. When Brother Feng recovers almost, we will bring him back to live in, and then take his family over. It's better to have someone to take care of him." Those people in the hospital are strong."

Anton had thought about this problem a long time ago.Although he himself has never felt the warmth of a real family, he also knows that what he longs for most when a person is sick is the care of his family.

But Brother Feng has always been lonely.He had never heard him mention his family when he was at the express outlet before, and he and Anton would watch the TV for New Year's Eve dinner during Chinese New Year.Due to the special situation this time, after he was admitted to the Xiaogu Nursing Home, Anton asked the messenger group about his family's affairs, and the result was very subtle.

Brother Feng and his daughter-in-law divorced a long time ago. They have no children and both parents died.

As soon as Anton heard the word "divorce", he stopped asking.This is Brother Feng's privacy, if he wants to say it, he will naturally tell him, but now he is obviously unwilling to mention it.

Anton guessed that the relationship between Brother Feng and his brother-in-law's family would not be very good, so he rejected Qin Guan's proposal, "There is no rush, it will not be too late for Brother Feng to make his own decision after he recovers."

Two days later, at the end of the month, Anton and Fatty drove to the suburbs together.

Ma Krypton's home is in a small mountain village in a suburban county.Because it is close to the reservoir, it is not allowed to attract investment and engage in farmhouse entertainment. There is a poor horse in the village, and the people can only look at the prosperity of the neighboring county. They are opening factories and engaging in tourism, but they can only plan food in the fields. .

Anton and Fatty brought a lot of things to Ma Krypton's mother, including food and clothing. Wei Tao had hired a kind lady in the village to take care of her.

In the past, when Anton wasn't there, it was the fat man who came over and helped with the work every time.Ma Krypton's mother liked him very much and said he was happy.But seeing Anton this time, the old man was a little apprehensive.Secretly said to the fat man: "This baby is emitting black smoke and is very hostile."

The fat man was speechless.The aunt who happened to take care of Ma Krypton's mother told Anton that the little ruffians in the village were envious of the Ma family's well-being, and often came to make trouble, and even came to steal in the middle of the night, and were beaten away by the village defense.

So Anton took those little ruffians out and beat them up at the entrance of the village.In the end, they were all bundled into hairy crabs and placed around the village well.

When Ma Krypton's mother found out, she told Fatty, "Men have to rush, this kid's hostility is not bad."

The fat man just laughed, "Auntie, your attitude changes quickly enough."

The old man waved his hand, "Push me to the outhouse, and bake boxes for you at noon."

Farmhouse rice may not be refined enough, but it has a rough taste.Anton ate more than a dozen leek boxes in one go, and also poured a bowl of porridge with stick residue.Ma Krypton's mother sat in a wheelchair and watched him benevolently eating and drinking, and couldn't help but raised her hand to touch the back of Anton's head, "Slow down, don't choke."

Anton paused while chewing, and said, "Okay."

After leaving the village, on the way back, the fat man said tearfully, "I'm homesick too."

Anton gave Fatty a holiday, agreed to visit relatives for three days, and then returned to work, so the next morning Fatty ran away happily with a big bag on his back.

An Dong and Qin Guan also left after he left, and went to its space to deliver potatoes to the store.

As soon as he entered the store, Qin Guan was busy taking out the girl's favorite snacks from the storage ball, then pushed her aside to rest, and sat at the door of the store to bill the diners.

Anton smiled slightly, it's nice to have an older brother.

Today is the weekend, so there are a lot of customers.After Anton piled all the potatoes into the warehouse, he helped Yang Xiaofeng fry potato chips together.After a while, I saw Yang Xiaofeng's daughter running out of the operating room, also wearing a small apron, proudly announcing, "Dad, I've cut all the lemons!"

Then when she saw Anton, her little face became bitter, but she still bravely squeezed between Anton and Yang Xiaofeng, protecting her father like a little hen, "What are you doing here?"

Anton: "I'm the supervisor. I'll beat your dad if he doesn't work hard."

The little girl was about to cry, she silently turned and went back to the operating room.After a while, another glass of honey and lemonade came out, and he held it to Anton with both hands: "Thank you for your hard work, uncle, let's drink some water first."

Anton took it, and smelled the lemonade as soon as he moved his nose. He suddenly fell in love with this little girl.

Courageous, yes.

With a thought, Brother Feng also likes this little girl very much, right?Is it because of this child that he must use ER807?

Suddenly, a corner of my heart that had been neglected collapsed a small piece.The fat man has a family to worry about, Qin Guan has a girl to worry about, and Brother Feng is desperate for his genetic daughter.What about himself?

It seems... no one.

When closing the store in the evening, E and Jiang Su came together.Except for Anton, everyone tacitly avoided going outside the shop.

E has joined the expert group to overcome the side effects of ER807, happily telling Anton about the progress they have made.In the past, this technology has not been used since it was abolished, but now E's super brain has joined in, and everything is developing in a good direction.

There was a faint melancholy between Jiang Su's brows, as if he was very worried, but there seemed to be something else.

Anton handed him a big Su, "Don't worry, it will definitely be successful with the old monster in charge. No matter how bad it is, ER807 can last for three years."

Jiang Su played with the cigarette, but didn't light it, "I won't rest assured until Xiao Yi fully recovers. He is my only family member, and I will never allow him to be in any danger again."

An Dong felt that the elder brother was confused, "Can you tell which Jiang Yi Xiao Yi is from?"

There seemed to be a flash of fire in Jiang Su's eyes, "Of course."

Anton shrugged, and from the corner of his eye, he saw E hiding behind Jiang Su and giving him a wink.

Jiang Su seemed to have eyes on the back of his head, and ordered E: "You don't need to wink behind me, go out, I'll explain to him."

E left with his head down.

After he left, Anton made a "please speak" gesture.

Jiang Su finally lit the cigarette, "Jiang Yi over there is probably my real brother."
