Chi Ning didn't take Xie Xin seriously. After dinner, he stayed at Liang Xingye's company until about eight o'clock, then went to find Chen Xiangdong.

After leaving the building, the cold wind was blowing on his face. Chi Ning was afraid of the heat. The temperature made him feel more comfortable. He walked slowly to the small square and saw Chen Xiangdong sitting on the steps from a distance, still wearing a gray-black coat. Unshaven, like a little old man picking up trash.

When he got closer, he found that Chen Xiangdong was playing with a ring-shaped floor stand, which was about the height of a person, and there were lights on the stand.

Chi Ning observed carefully and asked, "Grandpa, what is this?"

"A young man taught me to buy a live broadcast device," Chen Xiangdong twirled around, muttering, "Hey, how do I get this up? The phone doesn't seem to be stuck. Double-click? No way..."

Chen Xiangdong had studied in university, and he was considered a decent intellectual at that time. He was too old to keep up with the times, especially when dealing with electronic equipment, he had to learn repeatedly.

Chen Xiangdong ran out of patience and dragged the things aside, planning to take them back to the store and return them later.

As the weather got colder, fewer and fewer people came here. Chen Xiangdong played the piece for half an hour, but seeing no one there, he stuffed the guitar into Chining's arms and taught him more complicated fingerings.

The live broadcast equipment was at Chi Ning's feet. He groped to learn fingering and asked Chen Xiangdong, "Grandpa, what is the live broadcast equipment for?"

"You haven't watched the live broadcast?"

"No." Chi Ning went to class during the day and had a lot to learn, and came here again at night, so he had no time to play with his mobile phone. The only function of the mobile phone was to listen to songs and contact Liang Xingye.

Chen Xiangdong said: "This live broadcast is very simple."

He recalled the words of the young salesman, "When you shoot a video, many people will watch it, and the more people watch it, the more money you will get."

"You've watched TV. It's the same as being on TV. Everyone can see you. But TV has requirements for people, and there are no live broadcasts. Anyone can shoot."

……

Can many people see it?Chi Ning suddenly thought, if he appeared on it, would his brother also be able to see it?

Chen Xiangdong patted his arm, Chi Ning interrupted his thoughts, looked at Chen Xiangdong: "Grandpa, what's wrong?"

Chen Xiangdong put his hands in his sleeves, his gray hair trembled slightly from the wind, "It's too cold today, go back early, I'll come over the next day, if you want to come, you can do it the next day."

Chi Ning accompanied Chen Xiangdong to return the live broadcast equipment.After arriving at the store, the clerk denied that the equipment was bought from the store. Chi Ning was asking another clerk about the purpose and related functions of the live broadcast equipment. After hearing the quarrel, he hurried over.

The clerk repeatedly explained that he could not get a refund without a receipt. Chen Xiangdong knew he was in the wrong, he sighed, and left with the equipment.Chi Ning lagged behind him by a certain distance, stepped forward quickly, and comforted: "Grandpa, it's okay, you take it home first, I'll learn how to use it, and I will teach you when I learn it."

Chen Xiangdong chuckled: "Then remember to learn quickly."

He waved his hand at Chi Ning, and went in another direction, "Let's go."

Chen Xiangdong is thin and thin, his coat is too big, and it is bulging when blown by the wind. He looks like a dead branch on the side of the road, which is so rotten and crisp that it will break when stepped on.Chi Ning watched his figure getting smaller and smaller, and called him: "Grandpa!"

Chen Xiangdong stopped, turned around, Chi Ning shouted: "Do you have enough money?!"

Chen Xiangdong settled there, like a silent monument.He quietly watched Chi Ning walk over, his old face was covered with lights, "This is the first time I've been asked if I'm short of money for a person like me who's half buried in the ground."

"It's not bad to have a grandson like you." Chen Xiangdong patted Chi Ning on the shoulder, his tone as flat as water, "It's a pity, no luck."

Chi Ning couldn't judge Chen Xiangdong's expression, it was very complicated, and he seemed to have nothing. He helped Chen Xiangdong zip up the old jacket and said, "Grandpa, I can exchange things for money. You can buy me snacks. I will give you money." It’s not all over.”

"If you don't bring money with you, you won't take it with you when you die. I keep the coffin book," Chen Xiangdong said, "I play guitar here, not just for money."

"It's too cold, let's go home." Chen Xiangdong touched Chi Ning's exposed hand, which was hot, and immediately swallowed the rest of his words.

Chen Xiangdong's back disappeared at the end of the road, and Chi Ning sat on the steps with his face in his hands, dazed for a while.He is not afraid of the cold, but after sitting on the steps for a long time, the coolness rushes up the bones, and the heat from his body is slowly lost.

He took out his phone, and it was already 09:30, so he sent a message to Liang Xingye, asking him if he was done. After waiting for about 10 minutes, he received a reply: Wait for me at the intersection, I'm coming down now.

Maintaining a posture for a long time, with stiff legs, Chi Ning walked slowly to the side of the road.As soon as he stopped at the intersection, Liang Xingye's car arrived.Chi Ning got into the car and fastened his seat belt. Liang Xingye turned his head to look at him: "Which supermarket do you want to go to?"

"It will be all right."

Liang Xingye started the car and squeezed into the continuous traffic. Chi Ning looked at the small square left behind and chatted with Liang Xingye about Chen Xiangdong.After hearing this, Liang Xingye speculated, "If he doesn't lack money, he may want to have fun. Many old people are like this."

Chi Ning said "um", remembering the live broadcast equipment in Chen Xiangdong's hand, and asked Liang Xingye if he knew about the live broadcast.

Chi Ning has a strong curiosity about new things, and loves to ask about everything he sees. Liang Xingye guessed that he should have contacted him at night, and did not fool him. He analyzed the industry situation to him from the aspects of content, technology and business model.

It was more difficult than expected, Chi Ning asked a few more questions carefully, and after Liang Xingye answered, he put his hands on his face and thought seriously.

The supermarket is about three kilometers away from the company, and it will arrive in a while.The neon lights of the international chain supermarket on the third floor kept flashing. Liang Xingye parked the car in the parking space on the side of the road, got out of the car, and led Chi Ning along with the crowd.

Liang Xingye pushed a shopping cart at the entrance, and asked Chi Ning if he was comfortable with the new teacher as he walked in.

The new tutor had been in the class for more than a week, and Chi Ning had a good impression of him, so he said: "He teaches very well, but he rarely talks to me except in class, maybe like Teacher Chen, he thinks I'm too noisy. "

"Ms. Chen thinks you are noisy?" Mrs. Chen is a former female teacher. She is gentle and introverted. Liang Xingye's salary is set according to the market price.He thought that the reason for resignation was her side, finding a job with a higher salary or something at home, but he didn't think it was because of Chi Ning.

Chi Ning said melancholy: "I don't understand too much, I always ask her."

Chi Ning was serious about his work. Liang Xingye originally thought that he would be very playful when he was young. In fact, it was the opposite. No matter how late he was busy with work, Chi Ning would study as late as he could, or he would practice guitar in the study.

The content taught by the teacher is mainly language and mathematics, with some basic political and historical knowledge. He can talk about other subjects, but he doesn't mention much.The last time he went to the study to take a look, Chi Ning has made rapid progress, and his handwriting has changed from scrawled at the beginning to clean and tidy.

Liang Xingye shuttled among the exquisite shelves, and said to Chi Ning: "It's okay, if you don't understand something, you should ask."

He rubbed Chi Ning's head, "Don't you want to go to the supermarket? Go pick some snacks."

Chi Ning smiled at Liang Xingye, and ran around like a hamster hoarding goods, and the shopping cart was half full soon.When passing the grain and oil area, Chi Ning stopped and stood hesitantly in front of the rice selling grid.

Chi Ning turned his back to Liang Xingye, and the two were separated by ten meters. Liang Xingye saw him standing stupidly for a long time, pushing the shopping cart slowly approaching, and was about to call Chi Ning, when he saw that he tore off two bags, filled them with rice and soybeans, One in each hand, reach in and grab and play.

Liang Xingye waited for a while, Chi Ning was still playing, and the phone vibrated suddenly. He found out that Xie Xin was calling, so he pushed the shopping cart and found a quiet place to answer.

The two discussed mainly who should be recruited into the project. Xie Xin did some research and asked Liang Xingye to weigh the pros and cons.Liang Xingye was generally aware of the relevant situation, and after confirming the candidate based on Xie Xin's supplementary details, he hung up the phone.

Liang Xingye looked around, and picked an aisle according to his impression to find Chi Ning.The supermarket covers a large area, and you can't see the side at a glance. There are almost no differences between the shelves. Liang Xingye is born with a weak sense of direction, and the more he walks forward, the more he feels something is wrong.

He wanted to call Chi Ning, but remembered that Chi Ning had left his cell phone in the car. As a last resort, he found the shopping guide in the supermarket and asked how to get to the grain and oil area.

However, after going around, he went back to the original place. The shopping guide was a little girl who enthusiastically led him to the destination. When he arrived at the grain and oil area, Chi Ning was nowhere to be seen. The only thing left was to arrange the goods. People, and passers-by in twos and threes.

Liang Xingye quickly asked the staff if he had seen a boy of eighteen or nineteen years old with light chestnut curly hair, big eyes and wearing a white coat.The staff was replenishing the out-of-stock products, pointing to the place where glutinous rice is sold, "Just now I was playing with rice here, and I have already left."

Liang Xingye was facing the aisle extending in all directions, not knowing which direction to look for someone.

The radio above the head suddenly rang, and then a female voice came out, "Dear customers and friends, hello, Mr. Liang Xingye, please come to the main station of the supermarket as soon as you hear the radio, your friend Chi Ning is waiting here .”

"Dear customers and friends, hello..."

……

Facing the sound of the broadcast, Liang Xingye was led to the main station by the shopping guide.

The main desk is located in the corner of the supermarket, and the one-meter-high brown curved platform separates the service area and passage.

Holding two bags of rice in his hand, Chi Ning was sitting on a swivel chair in the service area, kicking his legs and turning around in a circle boredly. When he saw Liang Xingye, he ran over quickly, with anxious eyes: "Where are you going?" Already? I didn’t bring my mobile phone, so I couldn’t find you.”

"I went to answer the phone." Liang Xingye took the rice, threw it into the shopping cart, and praised him with a smile, "You still know how to find a way, you are very clever."

Chi Ning bent his eyes, a little proud, "I asked my aunt, and my aunt taught me."

Liang Xingye pushed the shopping cart to the front cash register, and said, "Remember my number, it will be useful in this situation in the future."

Chi Ning nodded in agreement, and followed Liang Xingye all the way.

When paying the bill, Liang Xingye discovered that Gu Xu had sent several messages, saying that the new male teacher had resigned because he was not feeling well.

Being unwell is obviously a cover, one or two are like this, Liang Xingye can't help but wonder, is it really because Chi Ning talks too much?

Chi Ning does talk a lot sometimes, but they are all within a reasonable range. Liang Xingye was afraid that Chi Ning would be sad if he found out, so he thought about how to tell him all the way.

When he got home, Liang Xingye put the shopping bags on the marble table, looked at Chi Ning hesitantly, and finally didn't say anything, but asked Gu Xu to find a tutor again, asking him to be more patient, and raised his salary.

There was a boxing match tonight, Liang Xingye opened a bottle of wine, held the wine glass in one hand, and laid the sofa with the other hand, staring at the screen intently.After hesitating for a moment, Chi Ning swayed to his side and found a comfortable sitting position to watch with him.

The exciting moments of the last match were played on the screen, and the audience's shouts rang through his ears. Chi Ning secretly put his head on Liang Xingye's arm, "Liang Xingye, when did you start learning boxing?"

"Seven years old."

"Then you are so young, is it difficult to learn boxing?"

Liang Xingye looked at it vigorously, and replied casually: "Boxing has straight punches, uppercuts, and swing punches. It seems simple, but it is actually very complicated to use."

"What is a straight punch?"

"There is no swing in the punch, and the punch is from the toe, waist to shoulder, and it is suitable for medium and long distances."

"What's an uppercut?"

"There are four kinds of uppercuts, flat, upward, sideways, oblique upward..."

"Is there any difference between these four?" "What is a swing?" "Why can you knock him down with one punch? Last time I saw..."

The forearm was pressed by Chi Ning, Liang Xingye turned his wrist and gently covered his mouth.
