Chapter Ten It's Difficult To Be A Man Without Money
Xue Xiang couldn't bear to wear out his pretty wife, who increasingly regarded her as an outsider and became more and more unruly, so he had to secretly pack his bags at night while Su Meiren was sleeping soundly, and sneak away quietly.
Unexpectedly, he left in such a hurry that he actually brought nothing with him except two changes of clothes, the train ticket he bought in advance, and the letter of introduction.
At this moment, when I opened the package, I realized that not only was there no food, no water, but also no money.
Speaking of which, only Xue Xiang, a perverted non-human being, could hold on for so long, only to find that he was completely empty. If it were anyone else, he would have been so hungry and thirsty that he could not stand it even before he left Jibei Qiao. He just drove into Shuzhong. , that’s the seriousness of the mngb problem.
Fortunately, he was good at martial arts, so he was just hungry and thirsty. At that moment, Xue Laosan pulled up the zipper again, stuffed his bag under the seat, and was about to close his eyes to rest, but he didn't rest for a long time. He discovered a new problem.[
It is true that I can endure my hunger and thirst, but I don’t have any money. After getting off the station, I can’t walk to the Organization Department Building of the Provincial Committee of Sichuan Province.
To say that this dilemma arises, it is also because Xue Laosan is too easy on money, so easy that he almost uses money as air and water. He is not aware of its existence, but once it is suddenly missing, Only then did I realize that without this thing, it would be difficult to move forward.
The uncertain look on Xue Laosan's face was noticed by Xiao Yiyi out of the corner of her eye. Soon, she guessed how embarrassing this mysterious and extraordinary Mr. Xue was.
Of course, Xiao Yiyi didn't guess that Xue Xiang didn't bring any money when he went out. Instead, he thought that this guy had encountered a famous Sichuan gangster and had all his money stolen.
At this time, Xiao Yiyi became energetic, and she wanted to see how Mr. Xue would deal with it.
As far as she knows, this kind of rich person is like the king of heaven when he has money, but when he has no money, he is no better than a baby.
Immediately, a random thought arose in her mind: "He wouldn't be so shameless as to ask me to borrow money. If he asked me to borrow money, should I borrow it? If not, why would I bother to ask? His whereabouts are still secretive. He must not be a good person; if he doesn't borrow money, it is really so easy to talk about it. If this guy really opens his mouth, if I refuse, will he look down on me and think that I am stingy? Am I, Xiao Yiyi, such a person? Yes, as long as this guy is willing to ask, I will lend it to him. However, I have to ask for his ID as collateral. Hehe, I just want to see who this Mr. Xue is. A watch that can afford HK$80,000.”
Indeed, what Xiao Yiyi can’t forget is not Xue Laosan’s handsome appearance, but this. When she was doing a real-time report and went to Hong Kong with the provincial government’s investment delegation, when she went to see the colorful world of capitalism, she went to the Vacheron Constantin store. Watches seen in the store.
Reporter Xiao clearly remembered how dizzying he was when he saw the row of zeros on the price list.
At that time, she was thinking that anyone willing to buy such a watch would be either a fool or a lunatic.
Just think about it, she, reporter Xiao Da, has a good income, but it took him more than ten years to afford this watch without eating or drinking.
Who is willing to spend such a large price to buy a watch just for telling time? If not a fool, a madman, what else?
It just so happened that today, this fool and lunatic sat in front of his reporter Xiao Da. It would be strange if he didn't arouse her desire to get to the bottom of it.
Xiao Yiyi was waiting for Xue Laosan to ask for a loan. Xue Laosan's attention had long been attracted by the noise on the train.
Nowadays, although there is no such thing as Spring Festival transportation or student transportation, there are still no vacancies on this long-distance train.
In addition, in these years, the gap between people is far less huge than in later generations, and the excitement on this long-distance train has never been extinguished for a moment.
Xue Xiang listened quietly for a while. The voice with a southern accent and a northern accent was mostly describing how ferocious and evil the gangsters and ruffians in his place were.
There was also a shirtless fat man, who was eating watermelon with juicy juices while talking happily about the grand event he attended a naked butt party that night, which attracted a lot of listeners.
Xue Xiang knew that the bare-butt dance mentioned by the fat man was probably an exaggeration. It should be the face-to-face dance introduced from Hong Kong and Taiwan. Thinking about the current time, Xue Xiang was horrified. Historically, in seven days, the old man would
It was time for the chief to give a speech in Beidaihe, thus setting off a climax of cracking down hard on illegal criminals and rectifying outstanding public security problems.[
Seeing the fat man's triumphant energy, Xue Xiangzhen doubted whether this guy could escape this disaster.
"We are selling snacks, Zhang Lv'er donkey meat sesame cakes, orange soda, Lao Baguo Danzhi, red oil salted duck eggs, Lao Da melon seeds, sour and sour powder, chicken juice instant noodles, spicy instant noodles, everything is available, we will not wait for you when it is out of date!"
Xue Laosan was looking around when suddenly, at the door of the carriage, a vendor selling snacks walked in. Two huge bamboo baskets were carried on a dark pole, and the bamboo baskets were filled with colorful packaging bags. He shouted in Sichuan accent
, shaking the rattle in his hand, tinkling, whenever he feels energetic.
As soon as the salesman stepped into the carriage, the noise in the carriage immediately became louder. Here he called for a pack of melon seeds, and there he shouted for two packs of spicy instant noodles. There were even babies clamoring for pomelo peel and sour rice noodles.
and soda.
It is not easy to eat and drink during a long journey. Those who get food first will immediately start eating and drinking, and the room will be full of fragrance.
Xue Laosan got in the car at around four o'clock in the morning. By now, he had not eaten or drank for more than ten hours.
Of course, even if he doesn't eat or drink for more than ten hours, Grandmaster Xue won't die even if he doesn't eat or drink for ten days!
But if you can't die, you can't die anymore. After all, you're torturing your body and making you uncomfortable.
Xue Xiang is also a glutton, and he is a big-bellied man. Now, seeing the oily and red duck egg yolk peeled open, and the steaming donkey meat biscuits that he bit into, his stomach was filled with excitement.
The greedy people in the house were as if they were about to rebel, and their greed was overwhelming.
He wanted to eat, but he didn't have a dime in his pocket. There is a saying that it is difficult for a rich man to be a man without money. Xue Laosan never thought that he would also be a man.
Seeing the salesman breaking through the blockade and approaching, Xue Laosan saw that most of the bamboo basket was missing. He was very anxious, but there was a root in his butt, and he was still and unshakable. There was nothing he could do about it. Mr. Xue really couldn't hold back his face.
Go get food.
Indeed, the word "Nong" not only explains that Xue Xiang can get food, but also tells the way of getting food.
After all, Mr. Xue is good at martial arts. If he stretches out his hands and uses the skills of his empty hands, he is the most powerful thief. He can get whatever he wants, and he will succeed in many trials. However, Mr. Xue's practice is not at the level of a "cautious and independent" gentleman.
, but he also knows that "he who cultivates human opinions has his intentions known by God", and he really can't do anything sneaky.
"That's all, I'll bear with you!"
Xue Laosan gritted his teeth in his heart and simply grabbed the "Sichuan Daily" that he had read several times under his butt and started reading it again.
Although Xiao Yiyi may not have fully noticed Xue Laosan's inner struggle, Xiao Yiyi saw all of Xue Laosan's entanglement. She felt funny in her heart and thought again. At that moment, she said to the salesman who had already walked beside her.
: "Here are ten sesame seed cakes, five packs of spicy instant noodles, ten salted eggs, and four bottles of soda!" After speaking, he handed over a big dough stick.
Seeing the wealthy customer, the salesman was overjoyed. After collecting the money and giving the change, he bent down to pick it up for Xiao Yiyi. While picking it, he cheerfully boasted that the donkey meat in the sesame cakes was from Ludong's green donkey and how delicious it was.
So tender and authentic, as if he was afraid that Xue Laosan wouldn't swallow his tongue.
The salesman had a pair of skillful hands, and in a moment he had a large pile of things. He wrapped them neatly in a small woven bag and delivered them to Xiao Yiyi. Then he went to greet the buyers next to him.
Xiao Yiyi took the package and placed it firmly on the crossbar in front of her seat. The woven bag was not light or heavy, and she poked Xue Xiang's newspaper.
Xue Laosan had no choice but to put away the newspaper. He was quick-thinking and had already guessed that Xiao Yiyi had noticed his embarrassment. Now, seeing Xiao Yiyi buying a lot, although he agreed in his heart, he had to act grand. At this moment,
Son, it was hard to take his eyes out of the car, so he had to scan inside the car, whistling cheerfully, as if he, Mr. Xue, was in a panic.
Unexpectedly, not long after he whistled, Xiao Yiyi on the side had already started eating and drinking. He saw her wrapping one end of the donkey meat sesame cake with snow-white toilet paper, taking an elegant bite, and then sucked a tube of soda. In an instant,
It's sweet and fragrant, like two sharp knives piercing Xue Laosan's heart.
With a coo, Xue Laosan's throat visibly moved, and he whistled happily but not necessarily elatedly, but he could no longer blow it.[
Xiao Yiyi on the side noticed it, slightly pursed her lips, and her big almond eyes turned into peach blossoms.
In fact, she did this just to see Mr. Xue's jokes, and to see how long he could last and whether he could say soft words.
Originally, it was only an hour's drive away from the final stop, Jinguan City. No matter how hungry she was, she would not buy so much food in one go. It was clear that she was aiming for Xue Xiang.
Of course Xue Laosan understands this, but he is extremely chauvinistic and is not willing to say nice things to women.
Not to mention saying nice things, even if this person offered it to him, he would have to refuse it sternly.
Xue Laosan simply closed his breath, not being tempted by the scent, and took a random look inside the car.
However, why did the salesman on the side take aim at him and said to him with a smile: "Comrade, if you don't do something, I see that you have an extraordinary temperament. You are definitely not from Shuzhong. Come to Shuzhong."
You don’t have to eat anything else, but you can’t miss Zhang Luer’s donkey meat sesame cakes. What’s the matter, come and try half a catty? It’s not delicious, I don’t want any money!”
With a pop, Xiao Yiyi's mouth holding the straw popped out slightly. Fortunately, there was not much movement, only a slight splash of water.
Reporter Xiao's face turned red and she covered her mouth, but she was too embarrassed to look at Xue Xiang. However, she knew that Mr. Xue's handsome and white face in front of her was definitely redder than the brightest red cloth.
