"You kids today, they play with their mobile phones every day and they laugh like something." Lou Cheng's mother Qi Fang took the lead and walked to the unit where her sister Qi Yan's family was. She was reluctant to put down her mobile phone when Lou Cheng was in the car.
sentence.
Lou Cheng was carrying wine, cigarettes, chickens, fish and other New Year's items. He didn't dare to reply and could only laugh twice.
Fortunately, there is a generation gap between my mother and me, so I didn't realize that this was a sign of "passionate love and adultery"!
As for whether the burden of shaving my head is overwhelming, judging from Yan Zheke's performance and interactions during this period, I vaguely feel that I am "AUO or above". If my lover is not satisfied, that is another matter. Don't get the wrong impression.
He was good at himself, but he made mistakes and ruined the good situation.
The revolution has not yet succeeded, comrades still need to work hard!
"You don't understand. Nowadays, the young generation's interpersonal relationships are all online, unlike our past." Lou Zhisheng also has a lot of money.
"Why don't I understand? If I don't understand, how can I just say a few words? I watch TV, and some parents are so cruel and irresponsible that they send their children to some Internet addiction treatment center." Qi Fang
After talking nonchalantly, he arrived on the third floor and rang the doorbell.
Lou Cheng had a very good impression of his aunt's house and the small supermarket that their family had developed from a grocery store. He loved playing here when he was a child!
Every time she looked at some snacks with pitiful eyes, her sharp-tongued aunt Qi Yan couldn't help but give them to her, so that she could satisfy her cravings when she had very few snacks due to her family's financial difficulties.
The door opened, and Qi Yan, who was wearing a white down jacket, took the things from Qi Fang's hand with a smile, glanced at Lou Cheng, and said jokingly: "Chengzi, your mother is willing to let you do heavy work!"
Qi Yan and Qi Fang look similar, but there are almost no crow's feet. They look to be in their early thirties, not nearly forty, and they are quite good at taking care of themselves.
"You're not a child anymore, of course you have to help carry things." Qi Fang changed her shoes and entered the house knowingly.
In middle school and high school, she felt sorry for Lou Cheng who had a hard time studying and rarely asked him to do housework. Even when visiting relatives and friends, he would always carry the lightest and least amount of things.
Lou Cheng raised the object in his hand, flexed his muscles, and said with a smile: "I am strong now, these are just trivial things."
While talking and laughing, the family of three entered the house and saw Lou Cheng's grandparents and uncle Chen Wenguo.
"Grandpa, grandma, uncle." Lou Cheng said hello one by one, feeling rather regretful that he would not be at grandpa's house this time.
Although my uncle is a son-in-law, my grandfather and grandmother are just sixty, strong and energetic. They still live in their hometown in the countryside, tending a few acres of land and raising a few chickens. They are reluctant to leave the familiar environment and the people they have been with for many years.
Relatives and neighbors.
There, there is a small river at the door. The deepest part is only a little above the ankle. If you are lucky, you can really catch small fish. Further up, there is a reservoir where you can fish. Along the mountain road, there is land contracted by relatives for planting.
There are various fruit trees, and in the ditch next to them, tadpoles are looking for their mothers. When they go to play during the holidays every year, Lou Cheng is like a wild wild horse.
However, in addition to his love, he was also a little "afraid" of his grandpa's house, because there was only an aqua toilet, which always felt dirty and smelly, and he was reluctant to use it until he couldn't hold it in any longer.
Grandpa Lou Cheng’s face was rosy and he said with great energy:
"I don't even want to come here to play for a few days after the holidays. I have to wait for the Chinese New Year. Come on, come on, sit down quickly. There are melon seeds, peanuts and gummy candies. You can choose what you like."
Lou Cheng wanted to say that he didn't like peanuts, gummy candies, or melon seeds, but looking at the earnest and passionate eyes of his grandfather and grandma, he swallowed these words back and ate a gummy candy together.
Perhaps because I am the first child in my generation, my grandparents love me very much.
Besides my grandfather, who had never read much, he was an expert in decathlon. The furniture here and the furniture in the old rural house were all made by him with his own hands and feet. He was also good at cooking, could farm, and could raise chickens.
Being able to fish and catch birds was my idol when I was a child.
The whole family sat down and chatted for a long time about Lou Cheng's college life. After a while, they moved to other places to free up Lou Cheng.
"Feifei and Xiaoxiao?" He asked his two cousins first.
Both girls are still in junior high school, one is in the third year of junior high school and the other is in the first year of junior high school. The older one is named Qi Yunfei and the younger one is named Chen Xiaoxiao.
Aunt Qi Yan said angrily: "I don't know where I went so early in the morning. I'm crazy. Let's wait until noon. If you dare not come back for dinner, your legs will be broken!"
Lou Cheng changed to the main topic: "Auntie, where can I buy the original wine and Maojian green bud tea from Ningshui Distillery?"
"Don't we have it in our supermarket?" my uncle Chen Wenguo interjected in confusion.
He and Grandpa Lou Cheng's family were from the same village. He had liked Qi Yan since he was a child because he had an older brother in the family. So he impressed his father-in-law and his mother-in-law by becoming his son-in-law. He was also a hard-working man. He and Qi Yan worked hard in the county town for many years.
I worked part-time at a grocery store, went from a grocery store to a small supermarket, bought a house, and paid off the loan.
Lou Cheng couldn't help but laugh and said: "Uncle, don't I know what the original wine and green sprouts in your supermarket are? Just based on the price, no one would believe it!"
Chen Wenguo laughed and said, "Don't look down upon it. The original wine in our supermarket is also made from koji from Ningshui Winery. With the addition of sorghum from surrounding farmers, it tastes very good."
"Why are you asking these two? There are very few of them sold, and the ones on the market are either fake or shoddy. It doesn't matter, you can't get the real ones at all." Qi Yan asked in confusion.
Lou Zhisheng and Qi Fang also looked at their son in surprise, wondering why he asked this.
Lou Cheng half-truthfully said: "I have a friend who is going to pay New Year's greetings to his elders. His elders came from Ningshui. He just wanted to take a sip of Ningshui Distillery's original wine and Maojian Green Buds. He heard that I was going back to Ningshui.
, asked me to ask if I can buy it."
If you tell Director Xing directly, wouldn't that expose your shortcomings and scare your parents?
"If it doesn't matter, I can only rely on luck, and now it's the Chinese New Year, hey." Qi Yan was confused.
At this time, Lou Cheng's grandfather Qi Jiayu said: "Yanzi, doesn't that Deng Laosan have a wide circle of people and eat well? He always boasts that he has connections and connections. Why don't you go ask Chengzi for it?"
"Bah, that Deng Laosan has eyes on the top of his head. Every time we meet, he looks like that. I wish I could beat him up. He talks in a weird way. Why should I get in front of him when I have nothing to do?" Qi Yan said angrily.
Lou Cheng also smiled and said: "Don't bother me. Anyway, it's just a friend who asked me to ask. It doesn't matter if I can't buy it."
"You will die if you ask Chengzi for help!" Kong Meizhen, Lou Cheng's grandmother, pinched Qi Yan gently.
"Okay, okay, I'm going to ask, Chengzi, come with me, it's on the second floor." Qi Yan curled her lips and said.
My aunt is really a standard talkative person... Lou Cheng chuckled to himself and stood up, following behind.
A few steps away, the two quickly went down the stairs and arrived at the door of Deng Laosan's house.
Qi Yan rang the doorbell and said angrily: "Chengzi, please be patient, Deng Laosan doesn't speak very nicely, just treat it like a mad dog barking at you."
"Yeah." After what happened yesterday, Lou Cheng felt that most of his recklessness and impulsiveness had been worn away.
After a while, the dark red door opened, and a man with thinning hair yelled: "Qi Yan, you don't go to the Three Treasures Hall for nothing. What do you want to trouble me about?"
He combed one side of his hair to the other side to cover up the empty space in the middle. He had several pimples on his face and seemed to be quite angry.
"Deng Laosan, didn't you say that you have a wide circle of people? Can you get the original wine and Maojian Green Ya from Ningshui Winery?" Qi Yan was not polite.
Deng Laosan looked at her and Lou Cheng up and down, and said with a smile: "You also want to buy these two things? Is this necessary? Do your relatives and friends deserve to give these two things to you? Why bother to pretend to be fat and waste money?
Another waste of favors.”
"I'm just asking you whether you can buy it or not. Does it matter?" Qi Yan took a deep breath and said.
Lou Cheng felt that his aunt was about to explode, so he hurriedly pulled her back and said with a smile: "We are asking for help."
Deng Laosan did not let them enter the house, so he stood at the door and said, "Let me tell you the truth, I can get it, but I can't get it for you. These two things don't look expensive.
But they are all priceless. They rely on relationships. Do you understand? With my relationships, what I can get is limited. I can’t even do favors for myself. What relationship do you have with me? What can you give me?
How much did it cost, why should I give you a discount?"
"Okay! Okay!" Qi Yan was furious.
If she refuses, just refuse. Why say it so harshly? If Lou Cheng hadn't pulled her along, she might have had a quarrel.
Lou Cheng had no intention of buying it from Deng Laosan at a high price, which violated the original intention of the small gift. When he returned home, Qi Yan complained in front of his mother like a barrage of complaints, telling Deng Laosan that he had sores on his head.
Pus discharge from the feet.
"Auntie, there is no way around here. I don't know anyone in Ningshui, who else can I turn to? Should I just buy the ordinary Ningshui Daqu and Green Ya tea?" Lou Cheng listened to their conversation and murmured in his heart.
If Wang Xu was still here, it would not be difficult to get the original wine...
Except for Yan Zheke who is in Jiangnan, among the other people I know, Tao Xiaofei, Qin Rui and Dai Linfeng are probably the only ones who may have gotten it...
Lou Cheng was still a student, and his social circle was undoubtedly dominated by his classmates, so he walked to the balcony, pulled up his address book, and called Tao Xiaofei.
After a long ringing, Tao Xiaofei said with a heavy nasal voice and obvious sleepiness:
"Brother Lou, what do you want from me?"
"You haven't gotten up yet?" Lou Cheng greeted him first.
Tao Xiaofei smiled bitterly and said, "I didn't go to bed until six o'clock."
"You are so young that you are not afraid of losing your health." Lou Cheng joked and turned to the topic, "Do you know where I can buy the original wine and Maojian Green Ya from Ningshui Distillery?"
Tao Xiaofei asked strangely: "Brother Lou, why do you ask this?"
"The previous matter was quite troublesome to Director Xing. I made an appointment to come to visit him for New Year's greetings and thought of getting him something he would like." Lou Cheng said truthfully.
Tao Xiaofei laughed out loud when he heard this: "Brother Lou, you have asked the right person! Just wait, I will bring it to you directly. Are two bottles and two boxes enough?"
"That's enough, that's enough. I'll give you the money when the time comes." Lou Cheng said happily.
"What kind of relationship do we have, why do we need to talk about money? Hehe, to tell you the truth, my dad and the two of us have a lot of money at home. I plan to smuggle some of them to you. Anyway, he is not bad, and he can still get it later." Tao Xiaofei smiled.
said.
Lou Cheng couldn't help but laugh: "Aren't you afraid that Uncle Tao will beat you?"
"Don't be afraid, Pi Hou! And he wants to beat me every day!" When he said this, Tao Xiaofei looked like a normal ten-year-old young man, not a member of society who has been hanging out in bars for a long time. "By the way, Brother Lou, where are you?
Can I bring it to you directly?"
"No need, I'm in Ningshui, just give it to me before the seventh day of the Lunar New Year." Lou Cheng said with a smile.
Tao Xiaofei said: "Then I'd better send it to you. It will only take a few dozen minutes. My mother is planning to go to Nanhai to spend the winter and the New Year. I might not be in Xiushan any time."
After telling him the address clearly, Lou Cheng returned to the living room and chatted with his grandfather, aunt, mother and the others about their family affairs.
About forty minutes later, his cell phone rang and Tao Xiaofei arrived.
While answering the phone, Lou Cheng left the unit building and came to the gate of the community, where he saw the BMW 7 Series.
"Brother Lou!" Tao Xiaofei got out of the car, greeted, and handed over the bag containing two bottles of original wine and two boxes of Maojian green buds.
The packaging of the original wine is simple, just like the one produced by the small workshop next door.
"Don't look at it as ugly, the less packaged it is, the more mellow it is." Tao Xiaofei said with a smile.
Lou Cheng looked at it twice, held it in his hand, and said sincerely, "Sorry to trouble you."
"What's the trouble? It's just a matter of convenience." Tao Xiaofei said cheerfully, "We are old classmates."
At this point, he clicked his lower lip:
"I'm not asking you to help me fight. After seeing that scene yesterday, I was really, really shocked. I don't like dancing as much as I used to, and I've become a good old guy in the bar.
, last night, someone snatched the girl I liked last night, I didn’t say anything? I love snatching, but after all, she is not my wife or my girlfriend, so there will be a lack of girls in the place? Why bother because of this, just because of this
fight?"
Lou Cheng glanced at him in surprise: "It's good that you have this consciousness. Your family is rich and well-connected. If you lose yourself just to fight for a girl in a bar, wouldn't it be a big injustice? Who will you ask to reason with at that time?
?”
Tao Xiaofei nodded solemnly: "Human, living is the most important thing, only living can be enjoyed."
"Haha, you look like a young person." Lou Cheng joked.
Tao Xiaofei returned to normal and said with a smile: "Brother Lou, I don't ask you for anything. With your current strength and age, you may become a famous expert on TV in the future. Don't pretend you don't know me then.
Let me brag to my friends, look! That Mr. Lou grilled skewers with me last night and we made a small friendship!"
"No problem, haha, you speak so nicely." Lou Cheng agreed with a smile.
Watching Tao Xiaofei drive away, he first told Yan Zheke about this with a smile, then carried his things and walked briskly back to his aunt's house.
When he was approaching the door, he heard Deng Laosan's voice coming from inside.
"Okay, please give me a message! It's your luck. I happened to have a friend who gave me a gift but didn't give it away. I wanted to convert it into money. A bottle of original wine is 800, and a box of Maojian green buds is 1,200, a total of 2
Qian, do you want it? Just one word!"
"I'm telling you, it's a lot more expensive than normal, but I guarantee it's true. There is no shop like this after passing this village! What does your family have to do with it? If you don't rely on luck, you will never get it in this life!"
Lou Cheng laughed dumbly and pushed open the ajar door:
"No need, I've already got it."
Got it? Qi Fang, Qi Yan and others looked over with surprised expressions on their faces.
Nariko answered the phone, went out for about ten minutes, and got it?
"Did you get it? Is it a fake?" Deng Laosan's face darkened, and he walked to Lou Cheng's side. Regardless of whether others wanted it or not, he took the bag rather recklessly, rummaged through it carefully, and then fell into silence.
After a moment, he asked doubtfully: "How much did you spend on it? It's true, but don't waste your money!"
Lou Cheng smiled and said:
"It didn't cost any money, it was a gift from someone else."
