The stars are dim and the bright moon is flawless.
At around eight o'clock at night, Chu Heng came home smelling of alcohol.
Because it was too late, his wife and children had already gone to bed, so he did not go to the confinement room to see his daughter. After entering the hospital quietly, he went to the bathroom to wash up, and then went into the study and lay down on the bed where he had slept for many days.
On the small bed, thunderous snoring soon came from the room.
Ya slept peacefully here, but there were many people in Sijiu City who couldn't sleep because of him.
Large courtyard.
Silhu, who had drunk almost two kilograms of wine, walked back home on the lost track. Looking at his wife who was sitting under the bright yellow light reading a book, he grinned, stepped forward, hugged Ran Qiuye, and kissed her cheek with a big mouth.
He kissed her hard.
"Go away, you smell of alcohol, it's annoying." Ran Qiuye pushed him away with a look of disgust and wiped the saliva from his face.
"You man, I made thirty yuan today!"
Shazhu shamelessly clung to her again, hugging his wife's soft and plump body from the back.
Since ancient times, money has been the best catalyst for the relationship between husband and wife. When Ran Qiuye heard this, his dark eyes suddenly lit up, and he took the initiative to grab his hand and put it on the fruit stall. He asked with surprise and confusion: "The Ministry of Foreign Trade does not provide a daily subsidy.
? How did you earn these thirty?"
"Listen to what I'm telling you, today's thirty-year income is quite thrilling." Si Zhu sat down next to his wife with a rosy face, took her hand and elaborated on how he stood out among the famous chefs today.
The story of the siege was told again.
After hearing this, Ran Qiuye showed a proud look on her face. She hugged her husband's big head and kissed him. Then he stood up happily and said, "You have worked hard today. I will go and get you a basin of water to wash your feet. Once you are done, be good."
Rest, let’s continue our efforts tomorrow.”
"Why rest? Those guys are probably practicing at home. How can I sleep?" Silly Zhu squinted and shook his head, explaining: "Don't fetch me water, go and get the oil and salt from our house."
I have brought out all the sauce, vinegar and other condiments, and I have to practice my skills as soon as possible."
"Okay, I'll get it for you right now." When her husband wanted to make progress, Ran Qiuye naturally wouldn't stop him. He quickly came out of the house and went to the house next door where his sister-in-law Yu Yu lived to bring a lot of condiments, and then he went to the house next door.
I ordered him to mix several kinds of condiments together and let him analyze the types and quantities.
And the fact is just as Silly Zhu expected.
The chefs in the city who have the ability to compete for the thirty yuan, or who think they have the ability, are also going through a similar scene, trying to improvise.
That’s thirty yuan, which is close to a month’s salary of an ordinary worker. Many people can’t save that much in a few months. Who wouldn’t be tempted?
Besides, if a Buddha fights for a stick of incense, a person will live a breath of life. These people are all well-known masters in Sijiu City or nearby. Who would want to be compared with others?
As a result, under the dual effects of fame and fortune, these cooks are red-eyed and holding back their energy!
…
The next day.
Today is the day when Chu Qi leaves for the countryside.
So after Chu Heng went to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs as usual, he hurriedly dealt with official business. Before ten o'clock, after finishing what he was doing, he hurriedly left here and drove to the Family Court of the Ten Thousand Grain Bureau, preparing to attend
Chu Qi’s practice banquet.
Volga flew all the way, and when he arrived, the second aunt had almost prepared the meal.
The second uncle is not at work today, and is sitting on the sofa talking with his uncle who came specially to see Chu Qi off.
Chu Qi accompanied him respectfully. He was wearing a specially tailored military green suit, which made his not-too-tall figure look unusually tall. There was also a tight tie around his waist that he bought from Chu Heng a few years ago.
The armed belt he needed made his upper body look like an inverted triangle, making him look so mighty and powerful.
"I'm not late." Chu Heng entered the room holding two cigarettes.
"elder brother."
Chu Xue immediately ran over, acting like a bitch as always.
"Oh." Chu Heng smiled and rubbed her head.
"Brother." Chu Qi walked over closely behind, with a smile on his face that revealed a bit of anxiety about being far away from home and the expectation of the young eagle about to spread its wings for the outside world.
"Take it." Chu Heng pushed the two big front doors he brought to his little brother and warned with a smile: "After you get there, work hard and don't be stupid. The outside is no better than at home, but no one will clean it for you.
Bottom line."
"Yes, I remember, brother." Chu Qi nodded, smiling a little reluctantly. He had been looking forward to this moment before, but now that he was about to leave, he began to feel reluctant to leave his parents, relatives and friends.
It seems that children who are about to leave home have this kind of mood?
"The leaves are nice. You look energetic." He patted his brother on the shoulder again. Chu Heng stepped towards Uncle Chu Qi, stretched out his hand and shook his hand: "Uncle, I haven't seen you for a while."
"Well, the last time was half a year ago. I heard that your boy gave birth to another daughter?"
"Haha, yes."
"Then you have to inform me later about Full Moon Wine."
"Definitely."
The two chatted for a while, and then Chu Jianshe greeted them to the table for dinner.
During the dinner, Chu Heng and the others couldn't help but give Chu Qi a lot of advice and advice. When they talked about their sadness, the second aunt and Chu Xue even wiped away their tears.
This made Chu Qi's eyes blurry with tears, and he was so reluctant to let go. He hugged his mother and cried all the time.
Time seems very annoying at this time. Everyone hopes that it will slow down so that they can have more words to say goodbye, but it moves forward ruthlessly and firmly.
In this way, unknowingly, it was time for Chu Qi to leave.
"Dingling, banging, banging."
Chu Qi had already packed a heavy military bag on his back, which was filled with washbasins, enamel cups and other items. He bent down and picked up two stuffed canvas handbags, and was about to leave home.
Set off.
"Wait a minute!" But at this moment, Chu Heng suddenly grabbed his little brother, looked at him carefully, turned to Chu Jianshe and asked: "Second uncle, have you checked everything? My second aunt didn't steal it from him.
Stuff money and tickets, right?"
"Absolutely not. I took advantage of the couple's absence this morning to go through my luggage." Chu Jianshe shook his head confidently, glanced at his wife with a smile, and said, "Your second aunt is worthy of praise this time. She has a firm stance."
The second aunt rolled her eyes at him and said: "When did I lose my firm position? Don't worry, you two, I didn't get a penny for him this time... Okay, let's go quickly, we can wait a little longer.
It’s too late.”
"hehe."
Chu Heng looked at his second aunt with a half-smile.
He knows the second aunt very well.
This is a very qualified mother. She has always taken good care of her children, including Chu Heng. Therefore, when Chu Qi went to the countryside in such a miserable place in northern Shaanxi, how could she not secretly bring him something?
So Chu Heng turned to look at Chu Qi again, without saying anything, just staring at him with dead fish eyes.
"Hehe." The little brother was so scared that he laughed awkwardly, and his eyes began to look unnatural. He looked at the ceiling and the ground for a while, but he didn't dare to look at Boss Chu.
have to!
Not to mention Chu Heng, even Chu Jianshe and Uncle Chu Qi could see that this boy had something up his sleeve.
Chu Jianshe was so angry that he glared at his wife: "Just spoil him, and sooner or later this child will be ruined in your hands! Hurry up and get the things out for me!"
"Alas!" The second aunt lamented helplessly. Angrily, she stepped forward and plucked Chu Qi's ears. Then she snatched a bag from his hand and put it on the ground. She squatted down and turned over it while explaining in a nonchalant manner.
: "Actually, I didn't give him much, I just gave him some emergency money. You think he has traveled so far and is still in such a poor place. What if something happens to him and he doesn't have any money?"
