"Xijiu, are you coming to Brother Luo's house for dinner again?" Lardboy turned his nose and smiled at Chen Xijiu, who was helping to peel onions.
"Aren't you the same?" Chen Xijiu sat on the pony, without raising his head, and peeled the onions quickly with his hands and feet.
"Hey, you can let servants do these things, how can you do it yourself?" Lardboy squatted down, picked up a green onion in his hand, and took a bite, "Well, it's so sweet! I never thought Brother Luo could still be in the yard.
Good things like this can be grown here!”
"No matter how much I do or how much I eat, I'm not like you. Every time I come here, I'm either empty-handed or doing nothing!" Chen Xijiu rolled her eyes at Lardboy.
Lardboy chewed on the green onions and laughed: "Every time you rush to do what you have to do, or your woman rushes to do it, what else can I do? Of course I eat!"
While talking, Lardboy said mysteriously: "By the way, where is your wife? Why didn't you see her?"
"She is helping Sister Yue Chang wash pig lungs in the kitchen!"
"Wow, is it pig lung soup today?" Lardboy swallowed his saliva and said sneakily: "To be honest, I really admire you. When you came to Vancouver from Hong Kong, you didn't want so many girls. You only brought roses.
Marry her as soon as you come here - giving up the entire forest for a big tree, how great!"
"Rose is not another woman, she is different from others..."
"What's the difference? How many steamed buns can she conjure up when the lights are turned off?"
In fact, Lardboy never understood why Chen Xijiu in front of him felt different from before.
In the past, Chen Xijiu was very majestic and knew how to coax women. Outside, he was even more flirtatious with women. There were countless women. Even Brother Luo and the others liked to push their women to Chen Xijiu's side, asking him to help him "make a match."
Cover.
But after escaping to Vancouver, Chen Xijiu changed his previous romantic attitude and became a representative of a loyal and good man here. Not to mention going to nightclubs and dance halls, he even walked on the road without even looking at women. According to Pig
Youzi's words are more strict than those of a monk.
What makes Lardboy the most unbearable is that Chen Xijiu does all the things a woman should do at every turn, such as sweeping the floor, doing laundry, cooking, etc. She only has to stay at home to nurse the baby!
Chen Xijiu's behavior made Lard Zai very embarrassed - because every time there was a family gathering, those women, especially Lard Zai's women, would compare Chen Xijiu with him and say: "Look at this guy.
How good is Xijiu? He knows how to care for women! What about you? You only know how to eat, drink, poop and sleep! You are like a pig!"
Lard Boy is very depressed. He feels that Chen Xijiu has broken the rules. Men are meant to do big things. Even if they come to Vancouver, they must maintain their fighting spirit. As for washing and cooking?!
"Okay, I won't talk to you anymore, you won't listen to me, you won't do anything after hearing it, and you won't change it after you do it - Brother Luo and I are speechless!" Lardboy sighed. "In short, we men
My hands are for important things, not for cooking or peeling onions!" Lardboy opened his hands and vowed, "If one day I do such a thing, I will definitely chop these hands off!"
At this time, Bai Yuechang came out of the kitchen. When she saw Lard Zai, she smiled and said, "Brother Zai, help me peel some onions!"
Lardboy was stunned for a moment, then jumped up with a playful smile: "Come on, sister-in-law! By the way, sister-in-law, how did you know that I am best at peeling onions?"
…
When Lei Luo brought Shi Zhijian and others back home, the first thing he saw was Chen Xijiu peeling onions. Lardboy and Chen Xijiu squatted side by side peeling onions with tears streaming down their faces.
.
"Xijiu, Lard Boy, look who's coming, you two?" Lei Luo shouted.
"Brother Jian?!"
"Shi Zhijian?"
Chen Xijiu and Zhu Luzai jumped up in excitement after seeing it clearly!
"Brother Jian, I miss you so much!" Chen Xijiu didn't care and stepped forward and gave Shi Zhijian a deep hug.
"Ah Jian!" Lardboy stepped forward and wanted to hug Shi Zhijian, but couldn't find the opportunity. Chen Xijiu hugged Shi Zhijiu and refused to let go.
"Xijiu, Brother Zai!" Shi Zhijian smiled, patted Chen Xijiu on the back, and then looked at Lard Boy: "You don't have to cry because you're moved, right?"
"No!" Lardboy wiped his tears with the back of his hand, "I choked when I peeled onions just now!"
At this time, Yan Xiong, Lan Gang, and Han Sen also came in. They all looked at each other and smiled when they saw Shi Zhijian and Chen Xijiu hugging each other.
Everyone actually knows that the relationship between Shi Zhijian and Chen Xijiu is actually closer. When Lei Luo needs to contact Shi Zhijiu about something, he always asks Chen Xijiu to pass on the message. After this back and forth, Shi Zhijian and Chen Xijiu have become friends.
A fateful friendship, especially before Shi Zhijian rose to prominence, Chen Xijiu helped with many things.
"Hey, Ajian, why are you here?" Bai Yuechang, who was in the kitchen preparing to cook, heard the noise outside and couldn't help but come out to take a look. This was incredible, and she was immediately overjoyed.
"Sister-in-law, I miss you and Brother Luo, so I flew here from Hong Kong to see you!" Shi Zhijian broke away from Chen Xijiu's arms and said to Bai Yuechang with a smile. "Especially, I love what you did, sister-in-law.
The soup is delicious, I’m sure you’ll have a real treat today!”
Bai Yuechang beamed when she heard this: "You still know how to speak! Don't leave today, everyone, I just want to make soup! Zhong You, A Jian, if you come in the future, please call in advance so that A Luo and I can pick you up.
you!"
"I mainly want to give you a surprise!"
"Haha, this is indeed a big surprise!" Bai Yuechang was extremely happy.
…
The lunch meal was very sumptuous.
Bai Yuechang and Rose were the two chefs, and the other servants helped out and quickly cooked a table of delicacies, which were basically Hong Kong delicacies, such as "Typhoon Shelter Fried Crab", "Honey Sauce Barbecued Pork", "
Baked Lobster with Golden Sauce", "Crispy Squab", "Soaked Abalone" and so on.
Next to Shi Zhijian were Lei Luo, Lan Gang, and Han Sen. Opposite him were Yan Xiong, Chen Xijiu, and Lard Zai. There were six people at a table. According to Hong Kong rules, women were not allowed to sit at the table, especially in wealthy families.
, so Bai Yuechang, Chen Xijiu’s wife Mei Mei and others were eating on the other side.
As for Shi Zhijian's bodyguards Chen Tai and Sha Danxiong, they naturally ate alone together and both had delicious food. When they came to Lei Luo, Lei Luo would certainly not treat them badly.
Everyone was laughing and joking at the dinner table, telling some stories about Hong Kong, especially the majestic history of their four detectives. You and I were all very happy to tell them!
"Remember that time when I swept through the entire Portland Street with a gun! Do you still remember the big boss Xia Shanhu who was fighting with Shenghe? At that time, he dared not listen to my words, Lan Gang, so I pointed the gun at his head, and he knew everything
Portland Street and Wan Chai are all covered by me, Lan Gang!" Lan Gang said vividly, "Guess what? I just pulled the trigger, and the guy was already pissed! I didn't load the bullet, but he pissed.
My pants are off, hahaha!”
"What do you mean? Do you still remember the HSBC robbery?" Han Sen said with a cool face, "I was the person in charge of this case at the beginning. Li Luofu was originally asked to take action, but he was an inspector and had a higher police rank.
I'm a senior, so you have to leave this kind of desperate case to me! I'm not afraid of death. Those robbers carried K47 and shot wildly on Taihe Street. I didn't even frown, and I was hit in the end.
The bandit leader, he was killed on the spot!"
Han Sen said as he picked up his chopsticks and made them look like pistols, pointing at Chen Xijiu's forehead, "So from that time on people called me - the Gunslinger of Taihe Street!"
Yan Xiong felt funny in his heart as he listened to these two "old friends" talking about each other.
What Lan Gang and Han Sen said about wringing out a bucket of water is too much! In the past, Yan Xiong would definitely compete with them and brag about his prestigious history as a detective, but now he
I have been with Shi Zhijian for a long time and my horizons have become higher. I feel that it would be a bit embarrassing to compete with Lan Gang and Han Sen. Even if I compete, I have to compete with Lei Luo——
In fact, Yan Xiong even arrogantly believed that even Lei Luo could not compare with him now!
There is no other reason. How can a former detective who ran away to Vancouver compare with a Hong Kong tycoon and arms tycoon who is now in the ascendant?!
Of course, Yan Xiong would not say these words, let alone show them. He even kept toasting to Lei Luo, saying "Brother Luo" one by one, showing great respect.
Just when Shi Zhijian, Lei Luo and others were gathering together to drink and eat happily, a servant from outside suddenly came in and reported: "Mr. Lei, President Meng from the Chinatown Chinese Business Association outside is here to see you with three directors!"
"Huh?" Lei Luo frowned when he heard this, looked at Shi Zhijian and said, "I'm sorry, A Jian, you guys eat first, I'll be back soon!" After saying that, he stood up and ordered his servants, "Bring the guests to me.
Study, prepare some tea!"
"Yes, Mr. Lei!" The servant went down.
After Lei Luo left the seat, Shi Zhijian asked Chen Xijiu and Lard Zai: "Why, Brother Luo seems a little unhappy."
"Of course!" Chen Xijiu said, "President Meng has approached Brother Luo several times and wanted to invite Brother Luo to join their Chinese Chamber of Commerce, but he was rejected every time. I didn't expect to give up today.
, it’s here again!”
Shi Zhijian was surprised when he heard this and said: "The Chinese Business Association is very good. There is one in Hong Kong too. We can do a lot of things by working together and uniting and helping each other."
"That was before -" it was Lardboy who spoke this time, "Of course there is no problem in Hong Kong, and originally there was no problem in Vancouver, but not long ago Mayor Powell ordered the police department to issue a notice saying that here
The Chinese Chamber of Commerce is an illegal organization and must be banned!"
"Yeah, everyone knows that joining now is like jumping into a pit of fire! And this President Meng actually has no good intentions. The biggest reason for inviting Brother Luo is to use Brother Luo's reputation to attract those Hong Kong people! Give them the Chinese Chamber of Commerce
Donate money and materials to fight against the Powell gang!"
"In a word -" Chen Xijiu concluded, "the people don't fight with the officials! What's more, it's still on the territory of a ghost! Brother Luo means to push if you can, and never become cannon fodder!"
