I naturally remember Hongxiang Club. Although the origin of the name is a bit ridiculous, the brothers in it are all real brothers. Although Wang Bin and I are the only ones who still keep in touch after graduating from junior high school, those brothers will still be in touch no matter when we meet again.
Still brothers.
So when Wang Bin mentioned Hongxiang Society, I felt excited: "Ah, who is it? Is it our old friend?"
Wang Bin smiled and said: "Do you still need me to introduce our old friends? To tell you the truth, they are two new friends. I am now going to reorganize the Hongxiang Club. Ah, I won't talk anymore. I have to go to work on the battlefield and wait for you.
Come back and come to the battlefield to find me."
After Wang Bin finished speaking, he hung up the phone without waiting for me to say goodbye.
Damn, everyone I know has this problem.
Not long after Lu Xiaoyu, Lu Xiaoyu, Li Liang and Lin Lili had eaten breakfast, my mother drove to the gate of our school. After we met, I told my mother that Li Liang and Lin Lili were also going to our house to play, and took two classmates home.
It was not a big deal, so my mother readily agreed.
When arranging the seats, in order to give Li Liang and Lin Lili the opportunity to get close to each other, I asked them to sit in the back row with Lu Xiaoyu, while I sat in the passenger seat.
Because my mother was present, Lin Lili couldn't argue, so she tolerated it.
Along the way, my mother asked me a lot of questions, both about study and life. How can I put it, my mother is a very good chatterer. She never bores me with topics. I always talk to her along the way.
In a relatively fresh state.
Li Liang also tried to say a few words to Lin Lili in the back seat, but he hit a few soft spots.
In order not to give Li Liang a chance to talk, Lin Lili kept looking for ways to chat with Xiaoyu. Since then, there has been no progress between Li Liang and Lin Lili along the way.
When I got home, Mr. De stood outside the door to greet me as always. I went over to say hello to Mr. De, and then introduced Li Liang and Lin Lili to him.
As for my father, he is not at home. I heard from my mother that our family's "mixing plant" has started construction in a place called Mazhen near Xingzhou, and my father will spend more time there recently.
After entering the house, my mother brought us some drinks and snacks and asked us to chat and watch TV in the living room while she herself was going to the town to buy some groceries.
Every time I come back, I don't spend much time together like now. Seeing her working so hard for me, I feel a little bit unbearable, so I suggested that Lu Xiaoyu and Lu Xiaoyu accompany my mother to go shopping together.
It happened to be a chance to give Li Liang and Lin Lili a chance to be alone together.
Originally Lin Lili wanted to come, but I pushed her back on the grounds that "we still want to visit relatives."
My mother is so smart, so she naturally saw my trick and said, "Lily, you can stay at our house. I and Xiaofeng have to go to an uncle's house to inquire about some things."
As for Mr. De, after we entered the house, he went to his study alone. These two times when I came home, I felt that he was strange, because every time I would see him going to the study and sitting there for the whole day.
Later, I went to ask my mother and she said that Mr. De was also like this when I was not at home.
So before my mother prepared her things and went out, I went to the study room where Mr. De was by myself.
Mr. De was sitting alone in the oily imperial chair in a daze. When he saw me coming in, he waved to me and asked me to sit down opposite him.
After I sat down, Mr. De smiled at me and said, "Xiao Feng, do you want to talk to me?"
I scratched my head and said, "Actually, it's nothing. I just feel that Mr. De has been a little strange lately."
Mr. De opened the desk drawer with a "haha" smile, then took out a yellowed notebook and said: "Xiao Feng, I have thought about it for a long time, and I think it is most appropriate to give this thing to you."
When I saw what Mr. De handed me, my first reaction was martial arts secrets; my second reaction was a treasure map.
But when I opened it, my first two reactions were wrong, because Mr. De handed me an address book.
In addition to Chinese names, there are also many English names in the address book, and the numbers at the back are even longer. This shows that these are international long distances.
Mr. De, these people whom Mr. De knows are all abroad. So, did Mr. De come back from abroad at that time?
"What are these?" I asked Mr. De curiously.
Mr. De said: "These are my old friends, Xiaofeng. I want to tell you something, are you willing to help me with it?"
I have regarded Mr. De as my own grandfather from the beginning, and I will naturally follow his orders, so I nodded.
Mr. De slowly stood up and said: "Xiao Feng, if one day I die unexpectedly, just type the names and numbers in this address book one by one, and then tell them that Dou Delong was killed. Don't say anything else.
Just hang up the phone; if I die of illness or old age, then burn this address book with me, and you will treat it as if you have never seen the numbers on it."
"Ah?" I was a little confused at the time.
Mr. De smiled and said: "Xiao Feng, didn't I tell you before that I am a gangster? I am afraid that if an enemy comes to seek revenge, and I die unexpectedly, there is no point in asking you to call me. You just want to inform me of other things."
My old friend, just be careful."
I looked at Master De and said, "Master De, why are you always acting strangely lately? Is there something you are hiding from us?"
Mr. De came around behind me, patted me on the head and said, "You're so smart, you're just making a wild guess. I hid nothing from you, but I feel like I'm getting old, and I like to think about a lot of things."
"
I said "Oh" and didn't know how to answer Master De's words.
Mr. De told me again: "Xiao Feng, you should not call the phone number in the address book, because those people are people in the world, and I don't want them to find out where I am. Do you understand what I mean?"
I nodded!
I don't quite understand what Mr. De really means, but I won't be curious to call those numbers, because Mr. Fo said that if you are not careful in the world, people will die, so I will not harm Mr. De.
I did not take this address book with me, but kept it in Mr. De's study, mainly because I was afraid of losing it.
Mr. De didn't have any objections to the place where I stored it. He just said that it would be fine as long as I knew how to deal with "it" in the end.
After the strange conversation with Mr. De ended, my mother and Xiaoyu were already waiting at the door anxiously, so they called me if I was okay.
I asked Mr. De if he wanted to go together. Mr. De smiled and said, "Let me go, and he will read some books."
Yuhua Town is not big. There are only two old and new neighborhoods that are not very long. There are only a few places to buy groceries, so we walked around for more than half an hour and bought everything we needed to buy.
When I got home, I helped my mother put things down in the kitchen, and then hurriedly went to the living room to check on Li Liang and Lin Lili.
When we got to the living room, I winked at Li Liang and asked about the situation, but he spread his hands at me, indicating that there was no progress.
This is not the way to go.
When Lin Lili saw me coming in, she asked me: "Brother Crazy, where is Xiaoyu?"
I said: "Oh, I'm helping my mother cook in the kitchen!"
Lin Lili stood up and asked me where the kitchen was, and then went to help.
I said no, but Lin Lili had already stood up and left the living room to look for her by herself, but I couldn't force her to come back.
After Lin Lili left, I asked Li Liang: "What's going on with Mao?"
Li Liang said: "I don't know either. I have been nagging her for a long time, apologizing, apologizing, and repenting several times, but she just doesn't agree to reconcile with me. I'm going to cry to death."
I patted Li Liang on the shoulder and said, "Maybe you are going in the wrong direction. When you were with Lin Lili, weren't you the most talkative person? Try talking back to her."
Li Liang shook his head and whispered: "Ever since I saw Jasmine suffer so much, I can no longer stand up to her. It's too late for me to be nice to her, so how can I bear to stand up to her?"
I suddenly understood something and said, "Is it because you have changed that Lin Lili thinks you are pitying her, so she broke up with you?"
Li Liang also had a sudden realization: "Hey, Brother Crazy, when you said that, I had an impression. It seems that when Lin Lili broke up with me, she mentioned something like she didn't need my pity!"
I nodded and said, "Anyway, when the time comes, you can find a chance to say a few words to her. If it doesn't work, then forcefully hug her, kiss her, and be a little rough."
Li Liang looked doubtful and asked me if it was okay.
I cursed: "How the hell do I know if it will work or not? It's really as shown on TV. A dead horse is treated as a living horse doctor."
While I was chatting with Li Liang, my cell phone rang again. When I saw it was an unfamiliar number, I hesitated and answered it.
"Xiao Feng, have you gone home?" Wang Bin's voice came.
I smiled and said, "I'm back. I'm at home. Two classmates are here. Why don't you bring your two new friends over? It happens to be crowded and lively."
"Okay, by the way, this is your home battlefield phone number. If you have anything to do during the day, just call this number and you should be able to find me." Wang Bin said.
After talking to Wang Bin for a while, he hung up the phone and said he would bring his two friends over later.
There was no point sitting here with Li Liang, so I took him to find Mr. De to teach us how to box. As soon as Kung Fu was mentioned, Mr. De naturally became interested, so he went to the yard to set up a stance and taught Li and me how to box.
A few good tips.
When the kitchen work was almost done, Lu Xiaoyu and Lin Lili went to the yard to watch us boxing. Lu Xiaoyu kept applauding us, but Lin Lili just looked at it without saying a word.
At noon, Wang Bin arrived with the two new friends he mentioned.
The two men were about the same age as us, but they looked like they were no longer in school like Wang Bin, and their eyes showed a bit of cynical mischievousness.
After greeting each other after entering the house, Wang Bin smiled and said: "Xiao Feng, these are the first group of elders of our Hongxiang Society. I am the leader, and these are my two red sticks and younger brothers, the civet cat and the violent rat!"
Well, this Wang Bin is quite capable of handling things.
