Because Chu Heng ruined the atmosphere, the eldest cousin no longer had any interest in drinking. She finished the wine in the cup, grabbed two bowls of rice, and then followed Xiao Ni and the others into the house to watch TV.
For a moment, Chu Heng and Yang Qing were the only two brothers left on the table, staring at each other with big eyes.
"Come on, let's not drink it either."
Feeling that drinking with Yang Qing was not interesting, he gently pushed the empty cup aside, handed the bowl over, and ordered: "Go and serve me a bowl of rice."
"Alas." Yang Qing quickly took it, took his own rice bowl and stood up, walked to the rice bowl placed on the chair against the wall, and returned with two large bowls of rice.
Had a few bites of rice.
Chu Heng glanced at his little brother, thought for a moment and asked, "How much money have you saved now?"
Yang Qing, who was busy working on his meal, raised his head when he heard this, glanced furtively at the door of the east room behind him, stretched out two fingers with joy, and whispered: "Almost more than two thousand!"
"Hey, you've earned a lot!" Chu Heng raised his eyebrows in surprise.
"It's all thanks to you." Yang Qing said with a grateful face.
"Don't mention this between us brothers in the future, bother." Chu Heng frowned, took another mouthful of food and stuffed it into his mouth. After swallowing it, he asked, "Have you ever thought about stopping? You are about to do it right now.
You have a family. Although these speculative things can make money, they are not the right path after all. And if I guessed correctly, you should have told Lingling about it last night, right?"
"Yes."
Yang Qing blushed and lowered her head, feeling a little regretful. Why didn't she hold on and tell the truth?
"Then don't do it. Now that you've told her, no matter what, she will be worried about you, and it's easy to leak the news and get yourself into trouble. Besides, you've saved enough money to last for several years."
Chu Heng rolled his eyes and said.
"That's...ok, I'll listen to you." Yang Qing struggled in his heart, but nodded in agreement.
He has always admired Chu Heng and unconditionally believed in him. Since his brother said so, it must be the right thing to do.
Seeing that his little brother was so obedient, Chu Heng nodded with satisfaction and stopped talking. He casually chatted about other things. After finishing the meal, he threw away his rice bowl and ordered Yang Qing to clean it up. He himself was holding a piece of jade in his hand.
Wandering out of the main room.
As soon as he left the house, Chu Heng heard the whining of the two dogs at home.
He followed the sound and saw two black and white dogs shivering in the kennel, looking over here, presumably to see if it was Duan Fengchun.
Ever since that time when he came back in the middle of the night and Duan Fengchun wanted to kill the dog to drive away evil spirits, the two dogs were deathly afraid of this woman and would stay away whenever she came.
Looking at the two frightened dogs, Chu Heng also touched the place where he had been kicked with lingering fear, and walked out of the yard with a grin.
It’s not just the dogs who are scared out of their wits!
Sijiu City in May already has the charm of early summer. The old men in the alleys who have been holding back all winter have set up their chess stalls at the entrance of the alley again. The sky is crackling, and they can't even shiver without being cold.
go back.
When Chu Heng passed by, there was a lot of fun playing there.
The two old men were playing chess, and the people around them didn't care what they were saying. They were just talking about the move, and sometimes they would even say something bad to the other players if their bad play was bad.
He went over and took a few glances. His hands felt itchy for a moment, so he squeezed into the crowd and shamelessly pulled up Uncle Zhang next door who had just lost a set: "Uncle Zhang, please take a break. I'll play two sets."
"I just played a game." Uncle Zhang was reluctant, but when Chu Heng pushed a big door to the front door, he happily shut up: "Chengcheng, you go ahead and play."
"Smoke, smoke."
Chu Heng distributed another round to others, then put the large package that had just been unsealed, but only half of it was left in a short moment, into his pocket, and then enthusiastically started fighting with the neighbor opposite.
This grandson's chess skills have been influenced by his grandfather. He is no longer Wu Xia Amen. I can't say how good his chess skills are, but it is difficult to find an opponent in this wild chess stall.
"Crack!"
"Boom!"
"Will!"
In just two minutes, Chu Heng checked the opponent who had just enjoyed the chess pieces to death.
"Why is it checkmate?" The old man frowned deeply and murmured to himself as he thought hard about the solution.
"Chu Suo has made these moves very high, luring the enemy deep and catching the turtle in the urn!"
Some bystanders marveled.
The old man suddenly became unhappy, turned around and scolded: "Who the hell are you talking about? Do you believe I slapped you!"
"I don't believe it. If you have the ability, come and see who of us can beat whom!" The other end immediately retorted not to be outdone.
"Okay, okay, don't argue. Let's play a game quickly. This is your dead game!" Seeing that they were about to quarrel again, Chu Heng hurriedly stopped the two people.
"Oh, I was careless, let's have another plate."
In the end, the neighbor still couldn't figure out a way, so he reluctantly rearranged the chess pieces in an attempt to regain his position.
Then...then Chu Heng was kicked out.
He played a total of eight games and won all of them. The longest game lasted just over three minutes. The old neighbors who realized the gap between the two sides became so angry that they kicked him away and stopped playing with him.
"Open up, open up."
"Oh, I'm playing two games, just two games."
Chu Heng begged, the feeling of torturing food was so good, he didn't want to lose it just like that.
However, a group of old men turned out to be bastards and were determined to play with him, so he could only leave in anger.
When we came out of the alley, it was already dark, and the street lamps were lit up, making it look like dusk as always.
"Can't afford it!"
Chu Heng walked out of the alley in a hurry, wanting to take a stroll in Mavericks' yard, but before he walked a few steps, he suddenly noticed someone riding a bicycle towards him.
He looked carefully and saw clearly that the person coming was Wu Jiekai, whom he had not seen for a while.
This kid used to be a well-known recalcitrant person in the compound. Later, his family was in trouble and he fell from the pyramid into the quagmire. He even begged Ni Chen for a way out and wanted to become a soldier.
Chu Heng happened to bump into him at that time, and he felt a little resentful, so he sent the boy to work in Fang Yuchun's food factory.
Oh, by the way, he also has an old lady who is still charming and has a quiet temperament.
soon.
Wu Jiekai rode his bicycle and came close. He looked at Chu Heng who was standing not far from the alley. He stopped the car in surprise. After chatting for a few words, he stuffed him with a bag of bread just distributed by the factory.
.
"I know you don't lack these, but this is my wish, brother, and you must accept it."
"Okay, I'll keep it then. Your sister-in-law really likes to eat the bread from your factory." Chu Heng smiled and reached out to take it without refusing. Sometimes accepting gratitude from others is also a kind of kindness.
"Then I'll get more for my sister-in-law next time." Jacky Wu smiled happily, then smoked a cigarette, turned around and left.
"This kid is quite thoughtful."
Chu Heng stood at the alleyway with a bag of bread and looked at the direction he was leaving, smiling happily.
In the past two years, he has helped many people intentionally or unintentionally, and after they have recovered, most of these people will repay him in different ways. Some will invite him to dinner from time to time, and some will also
Send something like Jacky Wu.
It can be said that Chu Heng has unknowingly sown many seeds in these four-nine cities. When spring comes, these seeds will thrive and feed back to him.
