I took the cigarette and started chatting with him.
I asked him, "Have you been in town?"
"No, I've only been back for less than a year."
He said and sighed: "My father passed away, so I came back and inherited his shop, and I just messed around."
"You are married, right?"
He smiled miserably again: "Leave."
"I'm sorry!"
"It's okay. You think I'm incompetent, so I ran away with a rich man. Haha, that's pretty fucked up."
Zhang Bin's face was full of sadness, and it could be seen that he had not been doing well in recent years.
He and I had a good relationship when we were in elementary school. We would often go fishing in the river together, go up trees to dig out bird eggs, and so on.
Later, after he entered middle school, he went to study with his father. There were no communication tools at that time, and he gradually lost contact.
Unexpectedly, we met again now, so I said to him: "Zhang Bin, come to my house for dinner tonight. We haven't seen each other for such a long time, so we can catch up on old times."
Zhang Bin nodded without hesitation and said: "Sure, I'll go with you now. There's no business anyway, so let's have a good chat."
I nodded, and then said to him: "Please help me choose a better gas stove. I can't cook without a gas stove at home!"
Zhang Bin then took down a gas stove from the top of the shelf and said to me: "This is the best. This is the one I use now."
"Okay, how much will it cost?"
"What kind of money are we talking about? I'll give it to you."
"That won't work. You are in business and you don't charge money. I don't want it anymore."
Zhang Bin smiled and said embarrassedly: "Then just take 800 yuan."
"You won't lose money, right?" I looked at the gas stove and asked him.
"No, purchase price."
"OK."
I immediately took out my phone, scanned the QR code, and paid a thousand yuan.
After Zhang Bin heard the voice broadcast, he frowned and asked me: "Chen Feng, what do you mean? It's eight hundred yuan!"
"With a purchase price of eight hundred yuan, you can't make money!" I waved my hand and said, "Okay, stop talking, just leave it like that. I have to ask you to help me install it."
Zhang Bin smiled and then asked me for a moment.
He went into the back room and changed his clothes, then moved the gas stove I just bought and said to me, "Let's go, I'll help you move it into the car."
"Trouble."
"What's the trouble? Although we haven't contacted each other for so many years, I always remember you as a friend!"
Zhang Bin is indeed a good person, loyal and friendly to others.
But as soon as he and I walked out of the store, two people suddenly rushed towards us, and they didn't look very friendly.
The two men rushed over and stopped Zhang Bin. One of them pointed at him and said coldly: "Zhang, I'm giving you a face, right? You harassed my sister again and again. You really think I'm a master."
It’s a decoration!”
"What are you doing?" Zhang Bin took a step back and looked at the two people in front of him cautiously.
"What are you doing? Fuck you, if I don't peel off your skin today, where will my face be in the future?"
As soon as the man finished speaking, he waved to a companion beside him.
Seeing that the two men were about to attack Zhang Bin, I hurriedly ran over, protecting Zhang Bin behind me, and looked at the menacing two men in front of me.
"You brat, don't block the way! This matter has nothing to do with you, get out of here!" The strong man yelled at me.
That facial expression is quite intimidating.
"What are you doing in broad daylight?" I asked calmly.
"I told you it has nothing to do with you, get out of here!" another thinner man yelled.
At the same time, Zhang Bin was also behind me and whispered to me: "Chen Feng, this matter has nothing to do with you. You can leave. I will come to you later."
"What's going on? Who are they?" I immediately asked Zhang Bin.
"they are"
As soon as Zhang Bin opened his mouth, the strong man came towards me and stretched out his hand to shake me off.
I grabbed his big hand, glared at him fiercely, and said, "Don't cause trouble! There are surveillance cameras everywhere. If you dare to mess around, I guarantee that you will not be able to eat anything!"
"Where did you come from, you little bastard, get out of here!" The man was completely fearless and still stared at me fiercely.
Zhang Bin, who was behind me, suddenly said: "Brother Yang, Yang Xia and I really love each other. If we have anything to say, we can talk about it, okay?"
"Okay, sir! How much do you have? You open a shabby shop and want to marry my sister. You are just a toad who wants to eat swan meat!"
I heard it in a vague way, but I also got a general idea.
Zhang Bin probably liked this strong man's sister, but he disliked Zhang Bin for being poor and didn't want him to date his sister.
That should be almost it!
I finally said: "Brother, this emotional matter is between you and me. Aren't you trying to beat a mandarin duck?"
"Bullshit mandarin duck! Don't think that I don't know what kind of ecstasy soup he poured into my sister. Not to mention that this kid is divorced and has to pay off all his debts. Whoever follows him will be unlucky!"
After the man finished speaking, he stiffened his neck and yelled at me: "Get out of here quickly, you have nothing to do here."
"Chen Feng, you go first." Zhang Bin said again behind me.
However, at this moment, a woman ran over not far away.
The woman ran and shouted to us: "Stop, brother, don't mess around!"
I immediately looked at the woman running over. She was tall, thin, and pretty, and looked nothing like a brother and sister to the strong man in front of me.
The woman ran over panting, protecting Zhang Bin behind her, and said to the strong man in front of her: "Brother, why are you like this? Zhang Bin and I really love each other, why do you want to stop us?"
The strong man sneered and said, "What is there to like about him? He is also divorced. You are a young lady, wouldn't it be a joke to marry him?"
"I just like her!"
"How dare you!" The strong man glared like a gangster.
And the woman still firmly protected Zhang Bin behind her. It was obvious that she really liked Zhang Bin.
And Zhang Bin was not such a coward. He stood up and said to the strong man: "Brother Yang, I know that I have been divorced and owe a lot of debts, but I will definitely work hard and give Yang Xia
A good life.”
"What the hell! You must break up with my sister today." The strong man cursed angrily.
I couldn't help it any longer, and said with a sneer: "Are you done with it? I'll make it clear to you today. If you dare to touch my friend, I will fight with you today."
Then the woman named Yang Xia also said: "Brother, if you want to beat Zhang Bin, I will die in front of you."
"Xia'er, why are you so confused?" The strong man suddenly became anxious.
Yang Xia stopped talking and looked determined.
The strong man really had no choice but to glare at Zhang Bin and threatened: "Zhang Bin, just wait for me. If you dare to touch my sister, I will never spare you."
After saying that, he took his companion and left.
I just breathed a sigh of relief and looked back at Zhang Bin. He asked Yang Xia: "Why are you here?"
"I heard that my brother went to find you. I'm afraid he'll beat you. Can I not come?"
Yang Xia said and asked with concern: "Are you okay?"
"It's okay," Zhang Bin shook his head and said to me, "Chen Feng, I'm sorry, I made you laugh."
I shook my head, indicating that it was okay.
Zhang Bin then introduced Yang Xia: "Xia'er, let me introduce to you, this is my classmate from elementary school, Chen Feng."
"Brother Chen, hello." Yang Xia greeted me politely.
After I nodded in response, I said to them: "Get in the car, let's talk in the car."
