Chapter 744 The number you dialed is empty, please check and then dial (6200 words) 400 months
"Lao Xia, come here, what are you doing over there?"
Xia Zekai was chatting with two old brothers in the dormitory when he turned around and saw Liu Yanyi waving to them.
There were several people standing next to Liu Yanyi, including Gong Qingfeng, who was wearing sportswear, Lu Teng, who was wearing a suit but with few hairs missing, and a woman holding a child.
There is also a thin guy who wears glasses but always squints his eyes when looking at people. He is holding a large-screen 3G mobile phone in his hand. He opens it from time to time and takes a look, as if there is something on the phone that fascinates him.
.
"Second brother, third brother, come over and have a conversation?" Xia Zekai asked Geng Hua and Teng Shuai.
Luo Xiyun had already taken Yatou and Tongtong to distribute candies to the other friends.
There is naturally a special channel for unobstructed communication between mothers. Even if they are strangers to each other, as long as the children play together, they can also chat together.
What an amazing way to socialize!
"Jingya's mother, they are twins, fraternal twins. I have heard that these twins look different, but this is the first time I have seen a real person." Gao Hongyun said with special interest.
She has a round face, but she is not fat. She has a smile on her face when she is not talking, making her very easy to get close to.
She also came here today with her two children, a son and a daughter.
Next to her, Li Wenjing has eyes with a black plate frame, her cheeks are thin, her eyes are almost narrowed into a slit, and her chin is very pointed, a bit like the later snake face, but her face is the original version.
Everyone who knows her knows that she has been like this since she was in school.
What made her sad was that after her son took a lollipop from Tongtong just now, he put the lollipop in his mouth. This naughty monkey-like brat at home became Tongtong's most loyal boy.
's younger brother.
One by one, she yelled "big sister" in a loud voice.
Xia Zekai and the other three were talking to Liu Yanyi and the others. Liu Yanyi worked at Jicheng Vanke and said that she was mainly responsible for collecting property rental fees.
This job is not easy to do, and it is difficult to talk to someone when you encounter him. He is trained like a grandson.
But many people at the scene didn't know what it was about, but when they heard about collecting rent, they felt that this job was very high-end.
Liu Yanyi curled her lips: "I've spent 3,000 yuan a month, running errands every day to collect rent, and it's not my own money, so what's the point."
"Old Liu, your mentality is wrong. I only earn more than 2,000 yuan for a month's hard work, or let's switch." Someone immediately refuted.
Lu Teng, who was wearing a suit and had only a few locks of hair on his head, chuckled and said, "Old Liu is such a bear. You don't understand him just because he talks a lot."
This is right, Gong Qingfeng started to say: "Hey, have any of you watched the football game? Jidong Luneng won the Chinese Super League last year. Wori, that's awesome!"
"Xiao Fengzi, let me tell you, not only did I watch it, I also went to watch it live. Ouch, that was really enjoyable." Zhang Baoliang, who was short and fat, was carrying an MP3 player on his back and couldn't help it.
Said it out.
When Gong Qingfeng heard what he said, he was really attracted. He said, "Fat Zhang, tell me the difference between going to watch live and watching TV."
"The atmosphere at the scene is definitely different. It's no use what I say. You still have to go there yourself." Zhang Baoliang said.
After all, only a few of these classmates like football. Unconsciously, those who like football got together to chat.
Another half hour later, Liu Yang, the seventh child, and Cao Jingchun, the eldest child from Xia Zekai's old dormitory, also came over. They both worked in the same place and came here by train together.
When they saw Xia Zekai, Teng Shuai, and Geng Hua, the five of them hugged each other on the spot and screamed.
"Boss, why are you still a hacker?" Xia Zekai made a joke with him.
Cao Jingchun was not tall. When he heard that Xia Zekai was subduing him like this, he came up with his fists in his hands and smiled and wanted to give him a blow, which made the whole group amused.
There were a total of eight people in the dormitory, and Xia Zekai was the youngest. In addition to him, there was also a fourth child named Chen Peng, a fifth child named Zhang Jichang, and a sixth child named Zhang Shoubao.
Cao Jingchun also asked: "Where are the fourth, fifth and sixth children?"
In the first year after graduation, we were very diligent in keeping in touch with each other.
From time to time, we send messages on our QQ account, occasionally make phone calls, and ask each other how we are doing, what is going wrong, have we found a girlfriend, and what kind of jobs have we changed?
In the second year, perhaps because we were all very busy, we contacted each other less. The only time we contacted each other was to tell the other person that he was getting married and to ask other brothers if they had time to come over.
At that time, everyone was living in different places, and it was not easy to get a solid job. It was not easy to ask for leave, and we often couldn't get together. But we would also ask someone to give us a share of the money, and then use online banking to transfer the money to others.
.
Later, more and more people got married, and those who were not yet married seemed to become more and more withdrawn, with even less contact.
Those who are married and have children are in trouble. They send messages to each other on a monthly or quarterly basis. After the other party does not reply to the message, they no longer care.
If Liu Yanyi had not initiated a 10th anniversary class reunion this time, hoping that everyone would sit together and chat, and after more than a month of preliminary preparations, they gradually became familiar with each other in the group, I am afraid they would not be able to get together.
to one piece.
At this moment, when he heard the boss Cao Jingchun asked about the remaining three people, Xia Zekai also shook his head.
To be honest, he met his wife Luo Xiyun not long after graduation, and the two of them fell in love with each other. They had a close relationship. Unexpectedly, they got Yatou and Tongtong. When he was the only one at home and went to work, Xia Zekai was
I really don't have the heart to care about what's going on with the other brothers.
In the previous life, they never got together.
"I really don't know, second brother, third brother, do you know?"
"Lao Wu said in the group that he would drive over, and he should be on the way by now."
"The fourth brother really doesn't know. After we graduated, I heard that he went back to his hometown to have a kiss. I don't know the details," said the third brother Teng Shuai.
Geng Hua, the second child, asked: "What about the sixth child? I looked at him specifically. He has been silent in the group for a long time. His penguin has also been dark, and he doesn't know what he is busy with all day long.
"
"Yeah, I don't know. In the two years after I graduated, I heard someone say that my sixth son was driving to deliver drinks to people, doing business work, so he must be quite busy." Liu Yang said.
Xia Zekai also interjected: "That's what happened. He even borrowed 800 yuan from me. How many years has it been?"
When several people heard what he said, they laughed and asked whether Lao Liu was deliberately hiding from your debt. The big guys laughed and didn't care.
Yatou and Tongtong were tired from playing, so they ran over to find their father. Xia Zekai pointed to a few people and asked them to call "Uncle, Uncle".
Cao Jingchun and the others were so happy that they were about to take out red envelopes. Xia Zekai quickly stopped him and said: "No one is allowed to give it, otherwise I will be in trouble with you."
"Xiaoba, look what you are doing. I am here for my niece, not for you. Get out of the way quickly." Cao Jingchun said to him.
Xia Zekai quickly asked his wife to take away the two girls.
Several people were aggrieved. The third brother, Teng Shuai, even tried to stuff the money into the pockets of Yatou and Tongtong, but Xia Zekai held him by the neck and hugged him back.
"Brothers, please go to the school this afternoon and don't leave at night. I'll arrange food and accommodation, and let's have some drinks alone, okay?" Xia Zekai said.
The second oldest brother, Geng Hua, nodded hurriedly: "Among us, you are the only one hanging around in Qicheng. If it's not your arrangement, why don't you let us arrange it? I will listen to you tonight."
"You idiot, second brother, you will die if you drink less." Cao Jingchun said.
Xia Zekai was just thinking that the boss was interesting, but he didn't expect that he turned around and looked at him again and said: "Xiao Ba, you can't just drink. Why don't you find a KTV to roar? I'm usually very tired. I haven't had a good song in many years.
"
"It must be arranged!" Xia Zekai agreed.
More and more people came. They had not seen each other for so many years, and they were already a bit unfamiliar. But after chatting for a few words, the atmosphere became more intense.
At the last count, including the family members and children who came with them, the total number of people exceeded 70, but only 15 of them were children, so it was quite lively.
This lineup is quite large.
It was almost noon, and everyone was looking for their roommates. Friends who had a good time gathered together to form a table, and finally there were 6 tables, and the children went to find their own mothers.
Everyone is eating melon seeds and eating fruit snacks here. He Pan goes to the lobby manager and asks her to arrange the food.
The lobby manager also knew that He Pan worked in the traffic police team, and had come to team building with colleagues from the traffic police team many times. He became very familiar with her and was very polite to her.
After all, these days, who can guarantee that they won’t be able to ask for anything?
Xia Zekai and his friends were all brothers from the same dormitory, and the fifth child, Zhang Jichang, also came with his wife and children, so they had a table together.
I don't care about anything else.
Before the meal started, several people were muttering about interesting things from their school days. Apart from the children at the table, there were Luo Xiyun and Zhang Jichang, his wife, and the two girls also chatted after the three children got together.
Each talked about his own parenting experience, telling the other what interest classes his children attended and what hobbies they learned.
After the food was served, they opened two bottles of liquor Huanghelong 1948, and each person poured a glass.
The eldest brother, Cao Jingchun, raised his wine glass and said: "Brothers and two younger siblings, it's really not easy for us to get together today. I won't say any more. Let's have a drink together to respect our friendship."
"Cheers to friendship!" There was a surge of emotion in my chest, which made me feel excited inexplicably.
Luo Xiyun and Zhang Jichang's partner Xu Qina was also infected, and they took a big sip of juice.
The three little guys also held their own cups, shouting "Cheers", and then took the opportunity to drink up all the juice in the cups and asked their mother to pour it.
The mood on their side also spread to other tables, and the sound of "cheers" kept ringing in their ears.
After putting down the cup, we talked for a while and ate some food slowly.
The cycle continued like this for almost twenty minutes, and a glass of white wine was consumed in six times.
"For beer, I won't drink liquor anymore." The boss, Cao Jingchun, was the first to give up because his drinking capacity was in vain.
Immediately afterwards, Geng Hua and Liu Yang also changed their beers, leaving only Teng Shuai, Zhang Jichang and Xia Zekai drinking plain drinks.
The second glass of wine was poured, and the beer drinker poured it himself. The third brother Teng Shuai couldn't help but sigh: "The fourth and sixth brothers didn't come, otherwise today would have been even more perfect."
"No, if any of you have the phone numbers of the fourth and sixth brothers, give them a call and tell them that we brothers are getting together and we are so greedy for them." The boss, Cao Jingchun, said.
Xia Zekai's previous mobile phone fell into the lake, and all the numbers he had saved were gone.
Liu Yang pulled his cell phone and found the number of the fourth child, but after dialing it, he heard a message in his hand saying, "The number you dialed is not available. Please check and dial again."
After hearing this voice, the originally cheerful atmosphere dropped a bit.
"I still have a phone number here, let me try." Zhang Jichang, the fifth child, said.
He was dialing out with confidence, and then he received another message, 'The number you dialed is unavailable, please check before dialing again'.
"I wonder, what did the fourth child do? Why do he change his number so frequently?" Geng Hua muttered.
The third brother Teng Shuai shook his head and sighed: "Forget it, I won't beat the fourth brother. Let's contact the sixth brother."
The sixth child, Zhang Shoubao, was a very lively person when he was in school and could chat with anyone.
Several people have his number in their cell phones.
However, what everyone didn't expect was that the dialed number also heard from the mobile phone, 'The number you dialed is unavailable, please check and dial again.'
"The number is empty. What's going on with these two accounts? Are they all so poor that they can't even pay their phone bills?" Cao Jingchun, the boss, complained irritably.
"Forget it for now, let's drink. It's a good thing that we can get together today. Don't think about those unhappy things." Xia Zekai advised.
When he said this, several people temporarily suppressed their "unhappiness" and took care of the emotions of the people in front of them.
After they were done drinking, the guys started to play freely.
Before they could go out, Liu Yanyi, who was sitting at another table, came over with an empty wine glass and a bottle of Green Lansa beer.
"Hey, you guys are pretty good, and we even gathered a table together!" Liu Yanyi moved a chair and sat between Geng Hua and Teng Shuai.
He said: "I haven't gotten together together in all these years, so I'm taking this opportunity to have a drink with you today."
"Old Liu, how do you want to do this? Do you want to play in a circle or one against six?" Xia Zekai asked him with a mean smile on his face.
Liu Yanyi said with a sullen face: "What the hell does that make? Let's do this. I'll have a drink with you brothers first, and then we can express our feelings alone. I think that's interesting."
"It has to be interesting, that's it." Teng Shuai said.
Liu Yanyi looked around and said, "You guys are all right. I found that the people who came today are the best in your dormitory."
"It's all there. I didn't see that there are still two people missing. I called just now, and the fourth child couldn't be contacted, and the sixth child couldn't be contacted either. They were both empty numbers. I'm so angry." The boss, Cao Jingchun, was obviously still a little helpless.
Relieve.
Hearing what he said, Liu Yanyi's expression changed. He bit his lip, poured himself a full glass of beer, and said, "I'll have a drink with you first, and then I'll tell you something."
"What happened is so mysterious? You can't talk about it first and then drink." Geng Hua said.
But Liu Yanyi disagreed, and the seven of them drank one together.
Liu Yanyi then said: "I don't know what the fourth child in your dormitory has done, but I know the sixth child, Zhang Shoubao..."
"Then why don't you talk nonsense, Lao Liu, you have his phone number, give me his number, I will give him a call, I just know how to make money day by day, I have no idea, brothers can get together
Is it easy?"
But Xia Zekai instinctively felt something was wrong.
Before he could figure out what was wrong, he heard Liu Yanyi say: "Boss Cao, you may have misunderstood. It's not that Zhang Shoubao doesn't want to come, he can't come."
"Why, you're such a bad guy, you can't even pay for your travel expenses? Can't I pay for him? Just give me the phone and I'll tell him that we can get together in the evening." Cao Jingchun might have been drunk.
, I feel a little excited and my thoughts are not very clear.
When Liu Yanyi heard what he said, he was not angry. He picked up the wine glass and poured himself a glass. He raised his head and drank it all. He said: "I thought you knew, and you don't know about feelings. He really can't come."
No more people!"
"..." Suddenly hearing the news, the people at the table immediately became quiet, including Yatou, Tongtong and Lao Wu's son Zhang Cheng.
"What...what's going on, Lao Liu, you've drunk too much, right? You're talking nonsense." Teng Shuai's voice trembled a little.
Xia Zekai's hand holding the wine glass also shook, and the liquid in the wine glass spilled out.
Although we usually don’t contact each other because we are busy with our own affairs, the pure feelings from back then are still there.
When he suddenly heard the news, he couldn't accept it. He still expected Liu Yanyi to be joking. He was also thinking about beating him up later. It was not good to make a joke and he had to say this.
He thought well in his heart, but the unacceptable reality was too cruel. Liu Yanyi wiped his face, and he didn’t know whether it was because of drinking that his face was red or because his eyes were red. He said: "Why did I lie to you? He and I
They are all from Richeng. In the first few years, didn't he drive to deliver alcohol to others? In early 2008, he was hit by a truck coming from the opposite direction on the way to deliver the goods to others. He was sent to the hospital but could not be saved... What the hell am I lying?
What are you doing? I just want to lie to you, you idiot!"
After saying that, Liu Yanyi directly picked up the remaining half of the bottle of Green Lansha, put it in his mouth and drank it in one breath.
By this time, the brothers seemed to have lost all energy.
No wonder the number I called him just now was said to be empty. If it had been more than three years since 2008...
If you are in arrears for three months, the mobile company will cancel your account.
After Liu Yanyi finished blowing the bottle of wine, he didn't play another circle and walked away with the empty glass. He wanted to be quiet.
Xia Zekai and his brothers were left at the table, and the atmosphere was a little depressed. At this time, they suddenly regretted hearing the news.
It’s better not to know!
Xia Zekai was also very depressed. He had never heard this news in his previous life.
Having said that, he had only worked hard to provide three meals a day for his family all day long, and he didn't even remember this 'class reunion'.
"Zekai, don't just drink, you should also eat something. There is so much left on the table."
Zhang Jichang and his wife Xu Qina also said: "That's right, no matter what happens, you can't drink on an empty stomach like this."
…
the other side!
Today is the weekend, and Sun Yuping doesn't go to work today. After she woke up in the morning, one thought kept running in her head: "Should we go or not?"
Thinking about her chat with Luo Xiyun on Thursday, she urgently wanted to follow the address Luo Xiyun left for her to see if it was true or false.
The salary is 2,000 yuan, and there may be a salary increase after becoming a full-time employee, and in addition, five insurances will be purchased.
These conditions came out from time to time to tempt Sun Yuping.
Her hometown itself is not a wealthy family, otherwise she would not have come to Qicheng to work, and she would not still be using an old Nokia mobile phone.
With the promotion of 3G networks, 3G mobile phones are now commonly used on the streets. This is an era that is gradually embracing the future and civilization, but she is still using an outdated feature phone due to reality.
I suppressed all the beating thoughts in my heart, got dressed and got out of bed.
After washing, she took out a pack of instant noodles from the box of instant noodles on top of the bedside cabinet and soaked them in boiling water.
She told Luo Xiyun that day that she made instant noodles and ate them. It was absolutely true. She had this for two meals a day. Occasionally, when she was extravagant, she would add two pieces of ham to it.
Working as a temporary worker at the Qicheng Human Resources and Social Security Office, she earned an average of 1,500 yuan a month, but 1,000 yuan of it was sent home.
The remaining 500 yuan still has to pay for the 130 yuan monthly rent in the shared house. She has already saved a lot, but she doesn't dare to buy other food.
Luo Xiyun invited her to dinner that day. To be honest, it was the best meal she had had in a long time.
Life is inherently unequal, and there are different kinds of ups and downs every day, and this is just a part of it.
After eating instant noodles, I drank all the soup and went out feeling warm all over.
She had already studied the route. She could just take bus No. 7 to Xiqi Road and then walk a little further. This way she could save two yuan by going back and forth twice.
When your pocket is not rich, you have to be more careful with your budget.
It took her a full hour and a half from leaving the house to finding the address Luo Xiyun left for her. This was the price of walking, time was exchanged for space.
Seeing the house along the street that was being renovated, Sun Yuping once suspected that she had found the wrong place. She hesitated and didn't dare to ask, for fear that she would feel cheated and she couldn't accept it.
Finally, he suppressed the messy thoughts in his heart, walked over and asked: "Hello, brother, is this Kaiyun Investment Company?"
By coincidence, the person she asked was none other than Zhang Guolong. Today was the first day of renovation and he came over to supervise the work.
He didn't dare to be careless in the proprietress's shop.
He feels that he would rather offend his boss than his wife. This is the iron rule of being in the workplace!
Hearing Sun Yuping's inquiry, Zhang Guolong nodded subconsciously: "Yes, this is the office of Kaiyun Investment. It is being renovated. Little sister, who are you looking for?"
When she heard this sentence, Sun Yuping felt an inexplicable emotion surge in her heart. She couldn't hold it back and cried!
