Ten Mile Room
Chapter 26
On the second day after Yu Dongchi returned, he sent Guan Qiu'an a thousand checks to Jiang Gezi in the name of Yulong Real Estate.
In addition to the land deed of [-] meters around the stage, there is also a real estate certificate for Tingtao Water Pavilion in Changqing Mountain.
Is this a windfall, or is Yu Dongchi unwilling to owe favors?
Jiang Gezi waved the real estate certificate and asked Guan Qiu'an, who had brought the things, "Where is this~ the house?"
Guan Qiu'an said impatiently, "It hasn't been covered yet!"
There are more than 30 sets on the mountainside of Longzhaoao near the Changqingshan Grottoes. The sets can have a distant view of the sea and overlook the entire Changhui County.
Guan Qiu'an also invited gardening experts to plant trees and afforestation there, planning to build a garden that will be counted among the entire Kyushu in the future.
He made up his mind that in the future, only the brothers will have their own set, and the rest will only be rented and not sold!
Who would have thought that the master would be so generous that he would give it as he said.
He didn't dare to disobey, so he could only send it with a sigh of relief.
Okay, this guy didn't care at all, so he accepted it?
Received?
How dare he?
Jiang Gezi looked at the papers again and again, not understanding what the man meant.
The weather was very hot, and Guan Qiu'an was sweating all over his body. He pulled his collar and said, "I'll take it if I give it to you. My father said, I can't take advantage of you in vain. This is the reward for news."
To be fair, if they really found the dungeon in the future, this small mountain residence would not be a loss, it could be regarded as a bargain for them.
Guan Qiu'an always felt that he was exquisite in all aspects, but whenever he encountered this small pole, he felt suffocated for no reason.
He grew impatient.
Jiang Gezi smiled frankly when he heard the words, and put those contracts into his arms casually.
That person is very particular about what he does.
If I have an idea in the future, I don’t mind sharing it with him.
Seeing Jiang Gezi put away his hard work like a ball of waste paper, Guan Qiu'an stared at Jiang Gezi with a particularly fierce look in his eyes.
He really wanted to ask, if you have a mansion with a view of tens of thousands, you dare to take it.
Why not?
We didn't take you for nothing, but we helped you, didn't we?
Jiang Gezi watched Guan Qiu'an walking away surrounded by a group of people. He jumped off the stage in a good mood. Before he had taken a few steps, he felt his feet go limp and he sank deeper and deeper.
Looking down, furious!
This half-legged black mud...stinks!
"Where's the manhole cover? Who took it!!!"
Things in the world are not always perfect.
Overnight, of the [-] cast iron manhole covers in Laosan Lane, none of them were taken home, and they wanted to confess.
There was no manhole cover here, and the underground silt was poured onto the street, making the old third alley smelly, and it didn't hinder the good mood of the old neighbors collectively making a fortune.
Now that the meal money is available, the old men stopped talking and started looking for famous chefs everywhere again. On the surface, everything seems to be normal.
Jiang Gezi has been working as a part-time photographer with that camera. It's not a big deal, but he thinks it's very meaningful.
He took some pictures of every old neighbor.
He didn't even spare the old locust tree at the intersection, the old houses on both sides of the Yuanbao River, the gate of the old house, and the big yellow dog tied in front of the gate.
He thought, wait until ten years later, 20 years later, 30 years later, or even the distant future.
Then take out these photos and put them casually. Only those who look at the photos can clearly understand the taste of them.
He also predicted that ten years later, the stage at the entrance of Laosan Lane would become a famous museum of old images in this city.
The museum is full of old photos of the Old Third Alley. People from the city come to see them, and people from all over the world also come to see them.
This small museum is like a small cash cow, spit out pocket money to Jiang Gezi in bits and pieces.
That's another story.
As the distribution of the new house became more and more clear, the unexpected thing finally happened.
The kindest, most generous and respectable fourth wife in his eyes hid in his house early in the morning to be wronged.
The Fourth Wife whispered, but her hands were not idle.She tossed out the scraps of cloth from the moving inventory, and did handwork there without wasting anything.
This is a sad, heartbroken, good woman who has never forgotten to work!
She found old clothes from the baskets around her, and cut them out in unworn, bright and neat places. After she reassembled all kinds of rags, she could stitch together an extremely beautiful door curtain, curtain, and three-piece sofa set.
Her kung fu is called Patchwork Flower. It used to be an old skill of the lady sitting in the house, but now the conditions are getting better and better, and not many people know it.
Jiang Gezi sat beside her and laughed when she saw that she was crying and did not let go of her work.
"Are you ashamed to cry? You and your wife secretly saved hundreds of coins and bought Zhao Shu's house, and you didn't let the old lady know?"
The fourth wife raised her face and stared at him, then wiped her tears with her sleeves and said, "Can it be the same? Can it be the same? I don't want to live a leisurely life of just doing housework and taking care of the children every day? All year round, The wind and the sun, as long as he has a little bit of promise, I can't suffer this!"
Jiang Gezi nodded: "That's true, sister-in-law has worked really hard in the past, you can see that."
The fourth sister-in-law got the greatest understanding, and she cried more and more happily: "Tell me, what does the old shopkeeper think? Four sons, isn't it good on average? Why should the boss want to take an extra apartment from me? Partial The eyes are not like that."
Jiang Gezi didn't want to judge this matter, so he said: "If I were the old shopkeeper, I would be covered with money in my pocket. I'm not dead yet, and you are here to worry about my real estate? You are so unreasonable to cry! "
The fourth wife got a needle on her finger, and her heart trembled with pain. She picked up the sofa cushion that was made on the ground, and threw it at Jiang Gezi.
"Who are you after?"
"I don't turn to anyone, I turn to whoever is right."
Jiang Gezi avoided it with a smile. After speaking, he raised the curtain and came to the door of the house.
There is a time bomb in this house, whoever touches it will die.
He should still hide.
At the door of the house, Fourth Brother Duan squatted at the door with his head covered, not daring to enter the house, and not daring to go home.
Jiang Gezi sat cross-legged beside him without saying a word.
For a long time, Fourth Brother Duan raised his head cowardly, and said aggrievedly: "My dad...my dad said that my elder brother has six sons, my third elder brother, and my second elder brother are crowded. Their conditions are not as good as mine, and they are not as good as mine. I can only feel sorry for me, that...then that... tell me, what can I say?"
Jiang Gezi squinted at him, but said nothing.
There was a noise on the stone road, He Mingchuan was sitting in a broken wheelchair pulled out from an unknown garbage dump, holding Lao Gao's bedroll in his arms, and was being pushed by Deng Changrong to run around in Laosan Alley.
These three have been voluntarily reforming themselves in Laosanxiang, helping orphans and widows to move things, and they are getting more and more familiar with it.
When the wheelchair was pushed in front of Jiang Gezi, Deng Changnong stopped politely, bowed, and fled away like flying.
Jiang Gezi looked at their backs with a smile, and said after a long time: "Fourth brother, don't complain to me, you see, I haven't formed a bond yet, and I don't understand the short-sightedness of these parents... I just think it, old man I'm afraid I know you are rich, and my fourth sister-in-law has been running a grocery store for many years! But, having said that...it's not easy for my sister-in-law, and I haven't enjoyed any blessings with you, right? "
Brother Duan scratched his head for a long time before he said, "I know! But, that's my father, whoever he wants to give his house to! Your sister-in-law...old lady, I want to express my opinion on this, I wish I could die Only now can I live in peace..."
After unloading the things over there, Deng Changnong pushed He Mingchuan back and rushed back. Jiang Gezi interrupted and said to He Mingchuan, "Chuan'er."
One of the two slammed on the brakes, and the two stopped obediently.
To be honest, the tossing and tossing some time ago left these few with a heartache of fear, and they trembled when they saw Jiang Gezigan.
Jiang Gezi said speechlessly to the two who bowed their heads and pleaded guilty: "Tomorrow, call your uncle and grandpa."
He Mingchuan raised his head quickly, and said with a horrified expression: "Master Gan, haven't we caused any trouble recently?"
"Chuang bastard, I have something to do with your uncle and grandpa! It has nothing to do with you."
"Oh!"
The two agreed with a sigh of relief, and then tiptoed away. After walking dozens of steps, they ran wildly.
Jiang Gezi saw that they had gone far away, so he moved his buttocks, and whispered into Fourth Brother Duan's ear, "Fourth Brother, those old men invited the master chef from Feihong Restaurant to open a banquet for Laosanxiang. Three streets down, at least one or two hundred tables."
Fourth Brother Duan looked at Jiang Gezi blankly.
Jiang Gezi patted him on the shoulder: "I have a flock of sheep at Xiaoxinzhuang, and I also have a group of sheep at Daxinzhuang. I also raise dozens of cows at Dayeqiao. I'll write you a note tomorrow, you go The shepherd got it back and sold it to San Biaozi on Feihong’s side. The whole sheep will be paid to you at 25 Wen per catty. If you earn a little, you can quietly add some jewelry to my sister-in-law, saying that the old lady gave it to you in private. It's over."
Brother Duan is an honest man, upon hearing this, he began to shake his head like a rattle: "That won't work, that won't work, isn't this trying to take advantage of you?"
Jiang Gezi laughed at him: "Then don't try to take advantage of me. Turn around, my fourth sister-in-law strangles you once a day, and the old lady who turns around strangles you again. Come on, a real man must learn to stick to both sides and calm down! This housework, etc. It’s really not a good thing if someone is right and who is wrong.”
For a long time... Fourth Brother Duan also let out a long sigh and said, "Hey...it's really hard to be a human being, why do you think you want to make a contract?"
"That's right, you go and become a monk, who stopped you?"
Jiang Gezi always spoke like this, and at this stage, he felt that at least he had to live as he wanted, otherwise it would really be a waste of life.
He was making arrangements here smoothly, but Fourth Brother Duan abducted him a few times with his arm.
Jiang Gezi raised his face and looked at him in bewilderment, but Fourth Brother Duan pointed his chin across the street with a look of surprise.
Follow Duan Sige's eyes.
Jiang Gezi's pupils also shrank.
Downstairs of Fourth Brother Duan's house, a woman with unkempt hair, filial piety on her head, sackcloth, and two red cloth wraps tied with hemp rope on her chest stood there.
Beside her, on one left and one on the right, stood two little girls in linen timidly. The older one was six or seven years old, and the younger one stood firm.
This woman still has a big belly, she looks about seven or eight months old.
I don't know how often she will come, but she just stood there, her eyes fixed on Jiang Gezi.
Seeing that Jiang Gezi finally saw her, the woman dragged a child by her leg, came to Jiang Gezi with difficulty, opened her cracked lips, and said in a tone full of grievances, "Nan Nan... I am mother. "
Jiang Gezi froze for a moment, then looked her up and down.
Even with the memory, he doesn't know her anymore.
In my memory, this woman married to a designer always smelled fragrant. She was riding a small motorcycle with a small patent leather bag, and there was a puff of smoke when she came and went, and she smelled fragrant when she walked.
Fourth Brother Duan stood up, turned around and entered the room, and walked out with his wife after a while.
The fourth wife said while twisting and beating: "What are you doing! What are you doing! What are you doing!"
Then, the couple disappeared.
The sun was very hot, and they didn't know how long they had looked at each other.
Until the little girl said with a crying voice: "Mom, I want to drink water."
Jiang Gezi looked at the two children, finally stood up and said, "Go inside."
All the sufferings of that child dissipated with death, Jiang Gezi thought that he could only deal with the problems left by him out of human nature and morality.
Xing Yujuan breathed a sigh of relief. She walked up the steps, looked around, and placed her parents' urn in the shade on the edge of the steps.
This is the Jiang family, there is no reason to put the bones of people with foreign surnames in the house.
Jiang Gezi brought this mother into the house three times.
He asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
The three of them shook their heads.
Xing Yujuan only got the news long after the old lady and the old man passed away, and after the two elder brothers received the compensation.
When she arrived at Duan's old dormitory, the family of the second brother and the third brother went to the building to be empty, leaving only the disabled and unclear elder brother at home, mixed in the excrement nest.
The dead bodies of the parents were frozen in the freezer of the enterprise hospital, and they owed a large amount of refrigeration fees.
She and the man who formed a bond for the second time are not of the same mind, and he doesn't care about anything.
In the end, Xing Yujuan had no choice but to endure the collapse of her sanity, mourn her parents, and send her elder brother to a mental hospital.
When everything was dealt with, she was already penniless and wanted to die.
Later, the neighbor kindly told her that your eldest son is doing well, but he has no feelings. He has become someone else's cub, and it is still possible to borrow a sum of money to tide over the difficulties.
Anyway, you also gave birth to him.
Xing Yujuan felt guilty and knew what she had done.
But she really couldn't help it.
She came here in a daze like this, walking around Laosan Lane early in the morning, thinking of ten thousand possible outcomes in her head.
But she didn't expect that when she saw her son, she didn't recognize him, and her son didn't recognize her either.
The son's attitude was not very good, but he let her in anyway, and even found some food and drink for their mother.
Jiang Gezi sat on a chair and watched the three mother and daughter gobbling it up.
I kept seeing the youngest one who was half full, hugging half pancakes, while dozing off, while still not giving up chewing, nodding her head, she took a bite.
Xing Yujuan put her to sleep on the floor, but she still hugged the pancake tightly.
Seeing that Xing Yujuan had finally put down her chopsticks and was about to pick up the bowls and chopsticks to clean up, Jiang Gezi hurriedly stopped her.
"No, just put it here."
Xing Yujuan put down the bowls and chopsticks again, reached out and hugged the little girl lying on the floor in her arms, trying to find some support on the child.
Jiang Gezi and her were silent for a long time, and finally, Jiang Gezi asked, "What do you need from me?"
Xing Yujuan nodded: "Hey, I was desperate, so I came to you with the audacity."
In fact, she stopped crying and spoke in a very calm tone.
Jiang Gezi nodded, "Say it."
Xing Yujuan looked up at him: "Your grandma, grandpa..."
Jiang Gezi interrupted her: "I don't have a grandma, grandpa."
Xing Yujuan immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, I forgot... Yes, my parents passed away, my elder brother went to a mental hospital, my younger brother disappeared, and my second and third brothers hid with my family... I came from Mao County. They came from the construction site, and I haven’t saved a few in the past few years... I just thought, borrow some travel expenses from you to go home, and I... will pay you back."
Jiang Gezi didn't know what to say, so he nodded and went back to the room, took twenty sticks and put them on the table.
Xing Yujuan looked at the banknotes on the table, and her eyes turned red.
She stretched out her hands tremblingly, then retracted them.
He stammered and said: "There is no need... so much, ten guan is enough."
Jiang Gezi turned his head to one side in a bad mood and said, "Take it, I won't take you in either, you still have to stay in a hotel and eat."
Xing Yujuan had a sore nose, but she had no tears to cry.
She was shaking all the time.
The older little girl hugged her waist in fear and called out to her mother.
Xing Yujuan wiped her eyes, raised her face and put on a smile and said to her daughter, "Mom is fine, thank you for mom...Thank you brother for your help."
The girl looked at Jiang Gezi timidly, and held her mother's skirt tightly with one hand, and she didn't say a word for a long time.
Jiang Gezi shook his head helplessly and said, "Forget it, I'll take you out. Where are you going?"
Does this send you away?
Xing Yujuan looked up at her son in a panic. Finally, she stood up, took a deep breath, swallowed, and begged with difficulty: "You...can you find a car to take me to the beach?"
go to beach?
Jiang Gezi didn't understand what she was going to do at the beach, commit suicide?
Xing Yujuan turned her face to look outside the house, and said with a bitter face: "It's also unfilial to my children, who can't even afford a cemetery. I'm going to bury you... oh, my parents at sea."
Oh, I see.
Jiang Gezi nodded, lifted the door curtain, and called Fourth Brother Duan who was opposite the door to rent a taxi at the street corner.
While waiting, a man ran from the street with sweat on his face.
He ran to the door of Jiang Gezi's house, but he didn't dare to go in, so he could only stand helplessly at the door of the house, looking at the two small boxes wrapped in red cloth with a look of fear on his face.
When Fourth Brother Duan called out the car, Jiang Gezi sent Xing Yujuan out.
As soon as the two met, they remained calm, and Xing Yujuan, who was indifferent, immediately went crazy.
She rushed over fiercely, and slapped Jiang Zeng more than a dozen times, until his nosebleeds flew all over the place.
Jiang Gain didn't dare to hide, so he stood upright and let her hit him.
Xing Yujuan was finally tired, so she sat on the ground and began to cry: "What did I do wrong, I'm sorry for you, you're going to destroy me..."
Jiang Gain wiped his nosebleed blankly, took out a handful of banknotes from his pocket and bent down to put them in Xing Yujuan's pocket.
Xing Yujuan grabbed the banknotes and waved them all over the sky.
The old alley was quiet, not even a single person watching.
Jiang Gezi just wanted to say, stop making trouble, let's go!
But I didn't want to, another old lady came running to the alley, and shouted over there, "Jin, what are you doing with the money... why are you robbing your wife's money?"
Xing Yujuan probably didn't want to see anyone coming, but it happened that the car came again, and she didn't know where to find a girl with great strength, who grabbed a girl with one hand and threw it into the back seat of the car, and clamped her parents with both arms. The urn quickly entered the car, and kept urging the driver to leave quickly.
When the car crossed the old lady, the two women in the car looked at each other fiercely until they couldn't see each other.
Jiang Gezi reluctantly dragged out the small bench and sat on it, not knowing what to say.
After all, there is peace in my heart, I just watch the excitement.
The old lady had a look on her face, and she was not well dressed. She sent her enemy away with fierce eyes, turned over and began to pick up money on the ground, and scolded her son while picking up her: "It's time! Throw it out for you, You are a shameless person, people look down on you, you still have the cheek to add... slap in the face, it's time! Let's live a good life, let's see how you explain to your wife."
The old lady picked up Jiang Gezi all the way to the bottom of the steps. She looked at Jiang Gezi, showed a very peaceful old lady smile and said, "Sir... lift your foot, the piece of money under your feet is my family's money."
Jiang Gezi was stunned for a moment, and looked down at a two-pound change bill at the bottom of his feet. He raised his foot, and the old lady took the bill away neatly.
In the end, she didn't care about the cleanliness and dirtyness, and counted back and forth several times, feeling that the number was right, she stretched out her hand, screwed her son's ear and left without showing any face.
Jiang Gain blushed, looking back at Jiang Gezi with difficulty from time to time.
Jiang Gezi leaned against the eight doors of the house, lit a cigarette, and exhaled slowly. He suddenly remembered something...
The source of all these disasters, that guy named Xing Xuzhuo, where did he go?
Does he know his parents are dead?
The night was hazy, and the heat of the sea breeze was blowing into the inner city. On a newly built street in Changhui County, there were piles of wine stalls of various styles.
The rise of a new city always requires all kinds of wild speculators to seek opportunities after smelling the smell in advance.
In less than a year, a new street was erected on Laonan Street, twelve miles away from Laosan Alley, and gradually transformed into a bar street.
Around nine o'clock in the evening, Guan Qiu'an changed into a dark blue workman's overalls in the back of his car.
He waited until the biggest light tree on the side of Xinjie came on, and then he got out of the car in a dark corner, and wandered towards Bar Street with his hands in his pockets.
He is in a bad mood today.
In desperate need of some spiritual comfort.
After walking across the street for fifteen or six minutes, he stopped at the entrance of a bar.
At this moment, the expression on his face has been swept away from the previous arrogance, and replaced with the kindness and honesty unique to a fat man, and his eyes have become slits with a smile.
Moreover, the posture of the body has become humble and pure.
He looked along several open-air wine stalls, and soon he found a person.
The man was in his early twenties, wearing a long black apron and a white shirt. The sleeves of his shirt were rolled up high, exposing his white jade-like skin.
Under the night light, the man's side face was gorgeous and handsome, his smiling eyebrows were curved, as delicate and beautiful as a landscape painting.
Guan Qiu'an slowly sat on the edge of the flower pond, waiting patiently until the man saw him.
The man's eyes lit up first, and he was about to smile, but he quickly stopped smiling, his peach eyes widened, his neck turned, and he nodded his head towards the back alley pretending to be fierce.
Guan Qiu'an smiled honestly. He was embarrassed, and touched his fat neck shyly. He stood up, walked towards the back alley slowly, and walked sweetly.
The back alley was dark and dirty, except for the weak yellow light of the weak light bulb at the back door of the bar.
Guan Qiuan sat cross-legged on the steps and waited.
Not long after, the back door quietly opened a crack, and the warm sun quietly propped out from the inside, and then quickly closed the door. After listening for a while, he breathed a sigh of relief, took out a lunch box from under the apron, and handed it to Guan Qiu'an.
"Hurry up and eat, I stole two large pieces of steak from the back kitchen for you, it's top quality!"
After finishing speaking, he also sat down cross-legged triumphantly, took out another cigarette, lit it, and took a good puff.
Guan Qiu'an looked at him motionlessly while holding the lunch box, only felt that Nuan Yang was beautiful everywhere, and no one in the world who was already healthy could surpass him.
Nuan Yang took two puffs of his cigarette, watching Guan Qiu'an just staring at him while holding the lunch box.
He stretched out his hand angrily, twisted his cheek and cursed: "Little fat man, I don't think you're hungry, what do you want me to do? Eat!"
Xu felt that twisting one side was not satisfying, so he ordered: "Turn your face away, and twist the other side for me too."
Guan Qiu'an obediently turned his face away, following Nuan Yang's twist.
Speaking of which, he and Nuan Yang are really destined.
Ever since he came to this wretched place, ever since he met that unlucky pole, he hasn't had a happy day.
That night, he was tossed and vomited, because the car belonged to Zhou Songchun, and he couldn't find his change of clothes for a while, so he had to put on the only driver's overalls that was about his size, got out of the car in a panic, and wandered The purpose is to hide shame in this poor place.
That day, he lost all the face of his life.
He walked a long way, until he was physically and mentally exhausted, and followed the light to the Old South Street.
Xu is tired, Xu is fate.
He was dazed and hiding in this back alley temporarily, but was discovered by Nuan Yang who was carrying two garbage bags.
Nuan Yang looked him up and down for a long time that day, and finally, he bowed his head very gently and said to him: "Hey! Don't be afraid, are you... hungry? I have something delicious, do you want to eat it?"
Whoa!
Guan Qiu'an's heart was immediately hit.
He thought he was in love.
From then on, every now and then, he would put on this ragged overalls and come quietly to find Nuanyang.
Nuan Yang saw Guan Qiu'an's face turned stupid, so he gave him another brain collapse.
"Stupid fat man, hurry up and eat, I'll steal a bottle of good wine for you later!"
Guan Qiu'an immediately nodded obediently, picked up a disposable spoon and ate.
But he didn't see that the warm sun was slowly leaning against the back door panel, his eyes were cold, staring at the underwear collar of Guan Qiu'an's overalls, there was a hand-embroidered mark of a green tree on the collar.
Only custom-made clothes will have such hand-embroidered marks.
In addition to the land deed of [-] meters around the stage, there is also a real estate certificate for Tingtao Water Pavilion in Changqing Mountain.
Is this a windfall, or is Yu Dongchi unwilling to owe favors?
Jiang Gezi waved the real estate certificate and asked Guan Qiu'an, who had brought the things, "Where is this~ the house?"
Guan Qiu'an said impatiently, "It hasn't been covered yet!"
There are more than 30 sets on the mountainside of Longzhaoao near the Changqingshan Grottoes. The sets can have a distant view of the sea and overlook the entire Changhui County.
Guan Qiu'an also invited gardening experts to plant trees and afforestation there, planning to build a garden that will be counted among the entire Kyushu in the future.
He made up his mind that in the future, only the brothers will have their own set, and the rest will only be rented and not sold!
Who would have thought that the master would be so generous that he would give it as he said.
He didn't dare to disobey, so he could only send it with a sigh of relief.
Okay, this guy didn't care at all, so he accepted it?
Received?
How dare he?
Jiang Gezi looked at the papers again and again, not understanding what the man meant.
The weather was very hot, and Guan Qiu'an was sweating all over his body. He pulled his collar and said, "I'll take it if I give it to you. My father said, I can't take advantage of you in vain. This is the reward for news."
To be fair, if they really found the dungeon in the future, this small mountain residence would not be a loss, it could be regarded as a bargain for them.
Guan Qiu'an always felt that he was exquisite in all aspects, but whenever he encountered this small pole, he felt suffocated for no reason.
He grew impatient.
Jiang Gezi smiled frankly when he heard the words, and put those contracts into his arms casually.
That person is very particular about what he does.
If I have an idea in the future, I don’t mind sharing it with him.
Seeing Jiang Gezi put away his hard work like a ball of waste paper, Guan Qiu'an stared at Jiang Gezi with a particularly fierce look in his eyes.
He really wanted to ask, if you have a mansion with a view of tens of thousands, you dare to take it.
Why not?
We didn't take you for nothing, but we helped you, didn't we?
Jiang Gezi watched Guan Qiu'an walking away surrounded by a group of people. He jumped off the stage in a good mood. Before he had taken a few steps, he felt his feet go limp and he sank deeper and deeper.
Looking down, furious!
This half-legged black mud...stinks!
"Where's the manhole cover? Who took it!!!"
Things in the world are not always perfect.
Overnight, of the [-] cast iron manhole covers in Laosan Lane, none of them were taken home, and they wanted to confess.
There was no manhole cover here, and the underground silt was poured onto the street, making the old third alley smelly, and it didn't hinder the good mood of the old neighbors collectively making a fortune.
Now that the meal money is available, the old men stopped talking and started looking for famous chefs everywhere again. On the surface, everything seems to be normal.
Jiang Gezi has been working as a part-time photographer with that camera. It's not a big deal, but he thinks it's very meaningful.
He took some pictures of every old neighbor.
He didn't even spare the old locust tree at the intersection, the old houses on both sides of the Yuanbao River, the gate of the old house, and the big yellow dog tied in front of the gate.
He thought, wait until ten years later, 20 years later, 30 years later, or even the distant future.
Then take out these photos and put them casually. Only those who look at the photos can clearly understand the taste of them.
He also predicted that ten years later, the stage at the entrance of Laosan Lane would become a famous museum of old images in this city.
The museum is full of old photos of the Old Third Alley. People from the city come to see them, and people from all over the world also come to see them.
This small museum is like a small cash cow, spit out pocket money to Jiang Gezi in bits and pieces.
That's another story.
As the distribution of the new house became more and more clear, the unexpected thing finally happened.
The kindest, most generous and respectable fourth wife in his eyes hid in his house early in the morning to be wronged.
The Fourth Wife whispered, but her hands were not idle.She tossed out the scraps of cloth from the moving inventory, and did handwork there without wasting anything.
This is a sad, heartbroken, good woman who has never forgotten to work!
She found old clothes from the baskets around her, and cut them out in unworn, bright and neat places. After she reassembled all kinds of rags, she could stitch together an extremely beautiful door curtain, curtain, and three-piece sofa set.
Her kung fu is called Patchwork Flower. It used to be an old skill of the lady sitting in the house, but now the conditions are getting better and better, and not many people know it.
Jiang Gezi sat beside her and laughed when she saw that she was crying and did not let go of her work.
"Are you ashamed to cry? You and your wife secretly saved hundreds of coins and bought Zhao Shu's house, and you didn't let the old lady know?"
The fourth wife raised her face and stared at him, then wiped her tears with her sleeves and said, "Can it be the same? Can it be the same? I don't want to live a leisurely life of just doing housework and taking care of the children every day? All year round, The wind and the sun, as long as he has a little bit of promise, I can't suffer this!"
Jiang Gezi nodded: "That's true, sister-in-law has worked really hard in the past, you can see that."
The fourth sister-in-law got the greatest understanding, and she cried more and more happily: "Tell me, what does the old shopkeeper think? Four sons, isn't it good on average? Why should the boss want to take an extra apartment from me? Partial The eyes are not like that."
Jiang Gezi didn't want to judge this matter, so he said: "If I were the old shopkeeper, I would be covered with money in my pocket. I'm not dead yet, and you are here to worry about my real estate? You are so unreasonable to cry! "
The fourth wife got a needle on her finger, and her heart trembled with pain. She picked up the sofa cushion that was made on the ground, and threw it at Jiang Gezi.
"Who are you after?"
"I don't turn to anyone, I turn to whoever is right."
Jiang Gezi avoided it with a smile. After speaking, he raised the curtain and came to the door of the house.
There is a time bomb in this house, whoever touches it will die.
He should still hide.
At the door of the house, Fourth Brother Duan squatted at the door with his head covered, not daring to enter the house, and not daring to go home.
Jiang Gezi sat cross-legged beside him without saying a word.
For a long time, Fourth Brother Duan raised his head cowardly, and said aggrievedly: "My dad...my dad said that my elder brother has six sons, my third elder brother, and my second elder brother are crowded. Their conditions are not as good as mine, and they are not as good as mine. I can only feel sorry for me, that...then that... tell me, what can I say?"
Jiang Gezi squinted at him, but said nothing.
There was a noise on the stone road, He Mingchuan was sitting in a broken wheelchair pulled out from an unknown garbage dump, holding Lao Gao's bedroll in his arms, and was being pushed by Deng Changrong to run around in Laosan Alley.
These three have been voluntarily reforming themselves in Laosanxiang, helping orphans and widows to move things, and they are getting more and more familiar with it.
When the wheelchair was pushed in front of Jiang Gezi, Deng Changnong stopped politely, bowed, and fled away like flying.
Jiang Gezi looked at their backs with a smile, and said after a long time: "Fourth brother, don't complain to me, you see, I haven't formed a bond yet, and I don't understand the short-sightedness of these parents... I just think it, old man I'm afraid I know you are rich, and my fourth sister-in-law has been running a grocery store for many years! But, having said that...it's not easy for my sister-in-law, and I haven't enjoyed any blessings with you, right? "
Brother Duan scratched his head for a long time before he said, "I know! But, that's my father, whoever he wants to give his house to! Your sister-in-law...old lady, I want to express my opinion on this, I wish I could die Only now can I live in peace..."
After unloading the things over there, Deng Changnong pushed He Mingchuan back and rushed back. Jiang Gezi interrupted and said to He Mingchuan, "Chuan'er."
One of the two slammed on the brakes, and the two stopped obediently.
To be honest, the tossing and tossing some time ago left these few with a heartache of fear, and they trembled when they saw Jiang Gezigan.
Jiang Gezi said speechlessly to the two who bowed their heads and pleaded guilty: "Tomorrow, call your uncle and grandpa."
He Mingchuan raised his head quickly, and said with a horrified expression: "Master Gan, haven't we caused any trouble recently?"
"Chuang bastard, I have something to do with your uncle and grandpa! It has nothing to do with you."
"Oh!"
The two agreed with a sigh of relief, and then tiptoed away. After walking dozens of steps, they ran wildly.
Jiang Gezi saw that they had gone far away, so he moved his buttocks, and whispered into Fourth Brother Duan's ear, "Fourth Brother, those old men invited the master chef from Feihong Restaurant to open a banquet for Laosanxiang. Three streets down, at least one or two hundred tables."
Fourth Brother Duan looked at Jiang Gezi blankly.
Jiang Gezi patted him on the shoulder: "I have a flock of sheep at Xiaoxinzhuang, and I also have a group of sheep at Daxinzhuang. I also raise dozens of cows at Dayeqiao. I'll write you a note tomorrow, you go The shepherd got it back and sold it to San Biaozi on Feihong’s side. The whole sheep will be paid to you at 25 Wen per catty. If you earn a little, you can quietly add some jewelry to my sister-in-law, saying that the old lady gave it to you in private. It's over."
Brother Duan is an honest man, upon hearing this, he began to shake his head like a rattle: "That won't work, that won't work, isn't this trying to take advantage of you?"
Jiang Gezi laughed at him: "Then don't try to take advantage of me. Turn around, my fourth sister-in-law strangles you once a day, and the old lady who turns around strangles you again. Come on, a real man must learn to stick to both sides and calm down! This housework, etc. It’s really not a good thing if someone is right and who is wrong.”
For a long time... Fourth Brother Duan also let out a long sigh and said, "Hey...it's really hard to be a human being, why do you think you want to make a contract?"
"That's right, you go and become a monk, who stopped you?"
Jiang Gezi always spoke like this, and at this stage, he felt that at least he had to live as he wanted, otherwise it would really be a waste of life.
He was making arrangements here smoothly, but Fourth Brother Duan abducted him a few times with his arm.
Jiang Gezi raised his face and looked at him in bewilderment, but Fourth Brother Duan pointed his chin across the street with a look of surprise.
Follow Duan Sige's eyes.
Jiang Gezi's pupils also shrank.
Downstairs of Fourth Brother Duan's house, a woman with unkempt hair, filial piety on her head, sackcloth, and two red cloth wraps tied with hemp rope on her chest stood there.
Beside her, on one left and one on the right, stood two little girls in linen timidly. The older one was six or seven years old, and the younger one stood firm.
This woman still has a big belly, she looks about seven or eight months old.
I don't know how often she will come, but she just stood there, her eyes fixed on Jiang Gezi.
Seeing that Jiang Gezi finally saw her, the woman dragged a child by her leg, came to Jiang Gezi with difficulty, opened her cracked lips, and said in a tone full of grievances, "Nan Nan... I am mother. "
Jiang Gezi froze for a moment, then looked her up and down.
Even with the memory, he doesn't know her anymore.
In my memory, this woman married to a designer always smelled fragrant. She was riding a small motorcycle with a small patent leather bag, and there was a puff of smoke when she came and went, and she smelled fragrant when she walked.
Fourth Brother Duan stood up, turned around and entered the room, and walked out with his wife after a while.
The fourth wife said while twisting and beating: "What are you doing! What are you doing! What are you doing!"
Then, the couple disappeared.
The sun was very hot, and they didn't know how long they had looked at each other.
Until the little girl said with a crying voice: "Mom, I want to drink water."
Jiang Gezi looked at the two children, finally stood up and said, "Go inside."
All the sufferings of that child dissipated with death, Jiang Gezi thought that he could only deal with the problems left by him out of human nature and morality.
Xing Yujuan breathed a sigh of relief. She walked up the steps, looked around, and placed her parents' urn in the shade on the edge of the steps.
This is the Jiang family, there is no reason to put the bones of people with foreign surnames in the house.
Jiang Gezi brought this mother into the house three times.
He asked, "Have you eaten yet?"
The three of them shook their heads.
Xing Yujuan only got the news long after the old lady and the old man passed away, and after the two elder brothers received the compensation.
When she arrived at Duan's old dormitory, the family of the second brother and the third brother went to the building to be empty, leaving only the disabled and unclear elder brother at home, mixed in the excrement nest.
The dead bodies of the parents were frozen in the freezer of the enterprise hospital, and they owed a large amount of refrigeration fees.
She and the man who formed a bond for the second time are not of the same mind, and he doesn't care about anything.
In the end, Xing Yujuan had no choice but to endure the collapse of her sanity, mourn her parents, and send her elder brother to a mental hospital.
When everything was dealt with, she was already penniless and wanted to die.
Later, the neighbor kindly told her that your eldest son is doing well, but he has no feelings. He has become someone else's cub, and it is still possible to borrow a sum of money to tide over the difficulties.
Anyway, you also gave birth to him.
Xing Yujuan felt guilty and knew what she had done.
But she really couldn't help it.
She came here in a daze like this, walking around Laosan Lane early in the morning, thinking of ten thousand possible outcomes in her head.
But she didn't expect that when she saw her son, she didn't recognize him, and her son didn't recognize her either.
The son's attitude was not very good, but he let her in anyway, and even found some food and drink for their mother.
Jiang Gezi sat on a chair and watched the three mother and daughter gobbling it up.
I kept seeing the youngest one who was half full, hugging half pancakes, while dozing off, while still not giving up chewing, nodding her head, she took a bite.
Xing Yujuan put her to sleep on the floor, but she still hugged the pancake tightly.
Seeing that Xing Yujuan had finally put down her chopsticks and was about to pick up the bowls and chopsticks to clean up, Jiang Gezi hurriedly stopped her.
"No, just put it here."
Xing Yujuan put down the bowls and chopsticks again, reached out and hugged the little girl lying on the floor in her arms, trying to find some support on the child.
Jiang Gezi and her were silent for a long time, and finally, Jiang Gezi asked, "What do you need from me?"
Xing Yujuan nodded: "Hey, I was desperate, so I came to you with the audacity."
In fact, she stopped crying and spoke in a very calm tone.
Jiang Gezi nodded, "Say it."
Xing Yujuan looked up at him: "Your grandma, grandpa..."
Jiang Gezi interrupted her: "I don't have a grandma, grandpa."
Xing Yujuan immediately apologized: "I'm sorry, I forgot... Yes, my parents passed away, my elder brother went to a mental hospital, my younger brother disappeared, and my second and third brothers hid with my family... I came from Mao County. They came from the construction site, and I haven’t saved a few in the past few years... I just thought, borrow some travel expenses from you to go home, and I... will pay you back."
Jiang Gezi didn't know what to say, so he nodded and went back to the room, took twenty sticks and put them on the table.
Xing Yujuan looked at the banknotes on the table, and her eyes turned red.
She stretched out her hands tremblingly, then retracted them.
He stammered and said: "There is no need... so much, ten guan is enough."
Jiang Gezi turned his head to one side in a bad mood and said, "Take it, I won't take you in either, you still have to stay in a hotel and eat."
Xing Yujuan had a sore nose, but she had no tears to cry.
She was shaking all the time.
The older little girl hugged her waist in fear and called out to her mother.
Xing Yujuan wiped her eyes, raised her face and put on a smile and said to her daughter, "Mom is fine, thank you for mom...Thank you brother for your help."
The girl looked at Jiang Gezi timidly, and held her mother's skirt tightly with one hand, and she didn't say a word for a long time.
Jiang Gezi shook his head helplessly and said, "Forget it, I'll take you out. Where are you going?"
Does this send you away?
Xing Yujuan looked up at her son in a panic. Finally, she stood up, took a deep breath, swallowed, and begged with difficulty: "You...can you find a car to take me to the beach?"
go to beach?
Jiang Gezi didn't understand what she was going to do at the beach, commit suicide?
Xing Yujuan turned her face to look outside the house, and said with a bitter face: "It's also unfilial to my children, who can't even afford a cemetery. I'm going to bury you... oh, my parents at sea."
Oh, I see.
Jiang Gezi nodded, lifted the door curtain, and called Fourth Brother Duan who was opposite the door to rent a taxi at the street corner.
While waiting, a man ran from the street with sweat on his face.
He ran to the door of Jiang Gezi's house, but he didn't dare to go in, so he could only stand helplessly at the door of the house, looking at the two small boxes wrapped in red cloth with a look of fear on his face.
When Fourth Brother Duan called out the car, Jiang Gezi sent Xing Yujuan out.
As soon as the two met, they remained calm, and Xing Yujuan, who was indifferent, immediately went crazy.
She rushed over fiercely, and slapped Jiang Zeng more than a dozen times, until his nosebleeds flew all over the place.
Jiang Gain didn't dare to hide, so he stood upright and let her hit him.
Xing Yujuan was finally tired, so she sat on the ground and began to cry: "What did I do wrong, I'm sorry for you, you're going to destroy me..."
Jiang Gain wiped his nosebleed blankly, took out a handful of banknotes from his pocket and bent down to put them in Xing Yujuan's pocket.
Xing Yujuan grabbed the banknotes and waved them all over the sky.
The old alley was quiet, not even a single person watching.
Jiang Gezi just wanted to say, stop making trouble, let's go!
But I didn't want to, another old lady came running to the alley, and shouted over there, "Jin, what are you doing with the money... why are you robbing your wife's money?"
Xing Yujuan probably didn't want to see anyone coming, but it happened that the car came again, and she didn't know where to find a girl with great strength, who grabbed a girl with one hand and threw it into the back seat of the car, and clamped her parents with both arms. The urn quickly entered the car, and kept urging the driver to leave quickly.
When the car crossed the old lady, the two women in the car looked at each other fiercely until they couldn't see each other.
Jiang Gezi reluctantly dragged out the small bench and sat on it, not knowing what to say.
After all, there is peace in my heart, I just watch the excitement.
The old lady had a look on her face, and she was not well dressed. She sent her enemy away with fierce eyes, turned over and began to pick up money on the ground, and scolded her son while picking up her: "It's time! Throw it out for you, You are a shameless person, people look down on you, you still have the cheek to add... slap in the face, it's time! Let's live a good life, let's see how you explain to your wife."
The old lady picked up Jiang Gezi all the way to the bottom of the steps. She looked at Jiang Gezi, showed a very peaceful old lady smile and said, "Sir... lift your foot, the piece of money under your feet is my family's money."
Jiang Gezi was stunned for a moment, and looked down at a two-pound change bill at the bottom of his feet. He raised his foot, and the old lady took the bill away neatly.
In the end, she didn't care about the cleanliness and dirtyness, and counted back and forth several times, feeling that the number was right, she stretched out her hand, screwed her son's ear and left without showing any face.
Jiang Gain blushed, looking back at Jiang Gezi with difficulty from time to time.
Jiang Gezi leaned against the eight doors of the house, lit a cigarette, and exhaled slowly. He suddenly remembered something...
The source of all these disasters, that guy named Xing Xuzhuo, where did he go?
Does he know his parents are dead?
The night was hazy, and the heat of the sea breeze was blowing into the inner city. On a newly built street in Changhui County, there were piles of wine stalls of various styles.
The rise of a new city always requires all kinds of wild speculators to seek opportunities after smelling the smell in advance.
In less than a year, a new street was erected on Laonan Street, twelve miles away from Laosan Alley, and gradually transformed into a bar street.
Around nine o'clock in the evening, Guan Qiu'an changed into a dark blue workman's overalls in the back of his car.
He waited until the biggest light tree on the side of Xinjie came on, and then he got out of the car in a dark corner, and wandered towards Bar Street with his hands in his pockets.
He is in a bad mood today.
In desperate need of some spiritual comfort.
After walking across the street for fifteen or six minutes, he stopped at the entrance of a bar.
At this moment, the expression on his face has been swept away from the previous arrogance, and replaced with the kindness and honesty unique to a fat man, and his eyes have become slits with a smile.
Moreover, the posture of the body has become humble and pure.
He looked along several open-air wine stalls, and soon he found a person.
The man was in his early twenties, wearing a long black apron and a white shirt. The sleeves of his shirt were rolled up high, exposing his white jade-like skin.
Under the night light, the man's side face was gorgeous and handsome, his smiling eyebrows were curved, as delicate and beautiful as a landscape painting.
Guan Qiu'an slowly sat on the edge of the flower pond, waiting patiently until the man saw him.
The man's eyes lit up first, and he was about to smile, but he quickly stopped smiling, his peach eyes widened, his neck turned, and he nodded his head towards the back alley pretending to be fierce.
Guan Qiu'an smiled honestly. He was embarrassed, and touched his fat neck shyly. He stood up, walked towards the back alley slowly, and walked sweetly.
The back alley was dark and dirty, except for the weak yellow light of the weak light bulb at the back door of the bar.
Guan Qiuan sat cross-legged on the steps and waited.
Not long after, the back door quietly opened a crack, and the warm sun quietly propped out from the inside, and then quickly closed the door. After listening for a while, he breathed a sigh of relief, took out a lunch box from under the apron, and handed it to Guan Qiu'an.
"Hurry up and eat, I stole two large pieces of steak from the back kitchen for you, it's top quality!"
After finishing speaking, he also sat down cross-legged triumphantly, took out another cigarette, lit it, and took a good puff.
Guan Qiu'an looked at him motionlessly while holding the lunch box, only felt that Nuan Yang was beautiful everywhere, and no one in the world who was already healthy could surpass him.
Nuan Yang took two puffs of his cigarette, watching Guan Qiu'an just staring at him while holding the lunch box.
He stretched out his hand angrily, twisted his cheek and cursed: "Little fat man, I don't think you're hungry, what do you want me to do? Eat!"
Xu felt that twisting one side was not satisfying, so he ordered: "Turn your face away, and twist the other side for me too."
Guan Qiu'an obediently turned his face away, following Nuan Yang's twist.
Speaking of which, he and Nuan Yang are really destined.
Ever since he came to this wretched place, ever since he met that unlucky pole, he hasn't had a happy day.
That night, he was tossed and vomited, because the car belonged to Zhou Songchun, and he couldn't find his change of clothes for a while, so he had to put on the only driver's overalls that was about his size, got out of the car in a panic, and wandered The purpose is to hide shame in this poor place.
That day, he lost all the face of his life.
He walked a long way, until he was physically and mentally exhausted, and followed the light to the Old South Street.
Xu is tired, Xu is fate.
He was dazed and hiding in this back alley temporarily, but was discovered by Nuan Yang who was carrying two garbage bags.
Nuan Yang looked him up and down for a long time that day, and finally, he bowed his head very gently and said to him: "Hey! Don't be afraid, are you... hungry? I have something delicious, do you want to eat it?"
Whoa!
Guan Qiu'an's heart was immediately hit.
He thought he was in love.
From then on, every now and then, he would put on this ragged overalls and come quietly to find Nuanyang.
Nuan Yang saw Guan Qiu'an's face turned stupid, so he gave him another brain collapse.
"Stupid fat man, hurry up and eat, I'll steal a bottle of good wine for you later!"
Guan Qiu'an immediately nodded obediently, picked up a disposable spoon and ate.
But he didn't see that the warm sun was slowly leaning against the back door panel, his eyes were cold, staring at the underwear collar of Guan Qiu'an's overalls, there was a hand-embroidered mark of a green tree on the collar.
Only custom-made clothes will have such hand-embroidered marks.
