"Boy, this is a special delicacy here, called Wu'an Ramen. How do you like it?"
I slurped the noodles and raised my head and said, "Master Liu, it's delicious, but Brother Yu and I have been staying here for two days. When do you think the people from Pi County will come?"
"Also, when you ask someone to do something for you, you need to give a gift, right? What do people like? Tea? Cigarettes? Antiques? Or beautiful women?"
"What kind of beauty? Why do you need a beauty when you're already seventy or eighty years old?"
"The man you are going to meet is named Qian. According to the information I heard, old man Qian will pass by Handan and stay in Wu'an for a few days. The specific reason is not clear at the moment. It seems that coming to Wu'an is related to Zhong. He has a little grandson.
Then it’s up to you to take advantage of the opportunity..."
In order to wait for this old man named Gan to come, Brother Yu and I really spent two days wandering around Wu'an.
I remember there was a park there called Xiling Lake Park. You could row a boat on the lake for five yuan. The boat was very old, but there were a lot of people rowing on it. On the shore, there were young men and women dating in twos and threes, and some people paid a fee to take photos.
Brother Yu and I took a photo under a big rock, and now the edges of the photo have turned yellow.
In the photo, Brother Yu put his arm around my shoulders and smiled, showing his neat white teeth. We made memories in Xiling Lake Park.
Finally, after staying in the hospital for several days, on the morning of the fourth day, Mr. Liu sent someone to drive us to a place called Nanguan Street.
Nanguan Street is just a road. At that time, there were all stalls selling things, including food, drink, clothing, and dogs and cats. Judging from the physical condition of the cats and dogs in the cages, I guessed it might be...
Dogs stolen from rural areas by dog dealers.
"Xiao Liu, are you sure it's that child?" Liu, the beggar, asked the driver beside him.
The driver leaned out of the window and took a closer look, "Yes, Mr. Liu, that's him."
At the entrance of the Nanguan Street Market, there was a little boy about ten years old squatting next to a cage, using a branch to poke a native dog in the cage.
Mr. Liu said to me: "Go ahead. If you build a good relationship with this kid, you can meet his grandpa. As long as his grandpa likes you, Wu Le will not cause trouble for you."
I said, why don't you just go to his grandpa? What would you do with a little brat? Besides, Mr. Liu, why is this kid going shopping alone with no bodyguard to watch over him? Isn't his grandpa very awesome?
Mr. Liu said: "Don't worry about that. The older you get, the softer your ears become, especially for your grandchildren. This is a shortcut to your survival that I'm showing you. Go quickly."
I got off the car on the side of the road and walked straight towards the entrance of the market.
"Why did you stab this dog?" I asked.
This little boy of about ten years old was wearing a brand new cotton-padded jacket, and he was very bright. When he heard me talking to him, he rolled his eyes at me and said, "I'd like to."
"Hey, I'm here, where are you?" I pretended to pick up the phone and make a call.
"The game room on the third floor?"
"Fighting Contra? Okay, it's ten yuan a handful. Let's see who is better. After we finish fighting Contra, we'll fight Double Dragon."
After hearing what I said, the little boy's expression changed obviously. After all, no one could resist the temptation of the game console for children at that time.
"Are you going? Let me take you to play?" I put down the phone and said.
"I won't go. Grandpa said he won't let you go far. He will go back for dinner later."
"It's not far, just in front. Let's go play for a while and then go back to eat. No one knows."
He thought for a long time, then gritted his teeth and said let's go and play for a while.
At the end of Nanguan Street is a department store, which is not as big as the new department store in Yinchuan. After all, this was just a small county-level city at that time.
There is an arcade on the third floor of the department store, which is coin-operated and costs 10 coins per dollar.
Not long after I put in the coins and played, I became familiar with this guy.
"Let me eat the laser bullets! Give them to me! You eat the shotguns!"
"Died, died again, it's all your fault."
"It's okay, there are still coins, let's have another one."
After playing in the game room for a while, he said that I had to go back to eat and do my homework in the afternoon. Let's play in the evening.
"Your grandfather doesn't care about you? Where are your parents?" I asked tentatively.
"My grandfather? He is busy working on his broken clock. As long as I don't run away, he doesn't care about me at all."
He was staying at the Blue Sky Hotel, and I agreed with him that we would come to the arcade to play games after dinner in the evening.
This child's name is Qianlong, and he is now over 20 years old. This kind of person is considered the real rich third generation.
His grandfather was one of the senior figures of the Changchun Society in the 1980s, and he was from the same era as Xie Qirong. I don’t know his grandfather’s real name, but people of the older generation call him Ganba.
It's Ganba, not godfather. This man is the inheritor of Earthly Support Cannon Boxing.
At about seven o'clock that night, it was dark and very cold. Qian Longlong, who was only ten years old, and I met under the department store. Because I took him to play games and buy food, he started calling me Brother Feng.
