Chen Huimin drove Shi Zhijian to buy some exquisite pastries and snacks at a nearby store.
In the hazy night, the glass of the pastry counter swayed with colorful light, making those exquisite pastries even more attractive.
Chen Huimin was born into a poor family and had always eaten steamed buns and pickles. Even though he later joined a club and became a prison guard, he never had time to taste such exquisite delicacies.
He squatted down, stared at the counter, and swallowed.
Shi Zhijian was asking the pastry chef to help package the selected pastries. Seeing him like this, he quietly asked the pastry chef to pack an extra portion.
When paying the bill, Chen Huimin saw Shi Zhijian paying the boss and was shocked again. Such a small amount of food cost half a month's salary. He couldn't afford such expensive pastries.
But this does not prevent Chen Huimin from fantasizing. When he has money, he will come here and buy all the pastries, then lie on the bed, covered with these delicacies, and eat whatever he wants.
At this time Shi Zhijian said to him, "Okay, let's go!"
Chen Huimin drove Shi Zhijian back to Causeway Bay Tenement House again.
As soon as the car stopped, Chen Huimin got out of the car very alertly and helped Shi Zhijian open the door.
Shi Zhijian smiled and said: "You can just drive. You don't have to do things like open the door. I'm not a fat-bellied capitalist. I can't even open a car door."
Chen Huimin scratched his head, "I think a lot of big guys are like this. Fatty Bo, the big guy from Liansheng and I used to be like this. Every time he went out and got out of the car, he would have someone open the door first, and then he would get out.
"
"I'm not Fatty Bo, and you're not a handyman, remember?"
"Remember."
"Help me get my things first!" Shi Zhijian casually picked up a bag of things and went straight upstairs.
Chen Huimin also hurriedly took down the remaining handbags and other items from the car and held them in his hands. Then he hurriedly locked the car door with the car key and hurriedly caught up with Shi Zhijian, following behind him along the way.
Go up the stairs.
"Mr. Shi, do you live here?"
"Yes, is it surprising?"
"No, this tenement building costs at least 200,000 yuan!"
"Shingwei, you are quite familiar with real estate prices."
"We live in Kwun Tong. That place is very poor. I have always wanted to save money and move here. I asked about the house price, but I guess I won't be able to afford it in my lifetime."
"Maybe, you have also heard that I used to live in Shek Kip Mei. So I would rather bully a white-headed man than a poor young man."
Chen Huimin scratched her head again from behind: "I am no longer a teenager, I am already twenty-five years old."
"That's just right. You are young and energetic, and it's a good time to start a business!"
While talking, Shi Zhijian and Chen Huimin had already reached the third floor.
Sister Shi Yufeng is helping Baoer with his homework under the desk lamp.
The little black dog nestled at the feet of the two of them, closing its eyes and taking a nap. Hearing the footsteps, he opened his eyes alertly, "Woof!"
Shi Yufeng turned around and saw her younger brother Shi Zhijian coming back with a long-haired boy. She couldn't help but said, "Have you eaten yet? I'll heat up some leftovers for you?"
"No need." Shi Zhijian dropped the bag he was holding, "Here are some pastries."
"Oh, there's something delicious!" Baoer's ears were sharp and he jumped up.
"Continue to do your homework, what do you want to eat?" Shi Yufeng felt that the younger brother always taught bad things to children.
Bao'er ignored Shi Yufeng's nagging and opened the bag directly. When he saw that there were bean paste cakes, glutinous rice cakes, and many beautiful cartoon desserts inside, "Wow, it's so beautiful!"
Shi Zhijian took off his coat and hung it on the hanger. He turned around and asked Chen Huimin to put down what he was holding. He said to Shi Yufeng: "This is my personal driver. You can just call him Amin."
"Hello, sister, my name is Chen Huimin." Chen Huimin was a little at a loss, rubbed her hands on her pants, and said with a smile.
"Private driver?"
"Yes, he also works part-time as my bodyguard." Shi Zhijian patted Chen Huimin on the shoulder and introduced to the elder sister: "He is very skilled and knows Western boxing and Chinese Kung Fu."
Shi Yufeng rolled her eyes, complaining about her brother's lavish spending. If he had a car and drove it himself, why would he hire a driver? As for bodyguards, just call him Daoxiong or Hu Xiong. Especially Hu Yong, who has a curvy beard and cheeks, and looks like a ruthless man at first glance.
Man, I don’t know if I can beat this dry Chen Huimin?
Chen Huimin was also a discerning person. He could tell what Shi Yufeng was thinking as soon as he saw her expression. Feeling a little embarrassed, she rubbed her hands and said to Shi Zhijian: "Mr. Shi, if there is nothing else, I will go back first."
Shi Zhijian nodded, suddenly remembered something, picked up one of the handbags and said, "Why did you bring all the things up? I left this specially for you!"
"Uh, isn't this not good?"
"Some pastries, worthless!" Shi Zhijian stuffed the bag into his hand.
"Thank you Mr. Shi."
"Thank you for anything. If you want to thank me, I will thank you."
Chen Huimin didn't know what to say, and Shi Zhijian gave him the car keys again.
"What are you doing, Mr. Shi?" Chen Huimin looked at the key in her hand.
"You don't want to walk back to Kwun Tong, do you? Drive back and pick me up here at eight o'clock tomorrow."
Chen Huimin nodded hurriedly and said: "Okay, Mr. Shi!"
Chen Huimin turned around to leave, and the little black dog barked at him and wagged its tail.
Shi Zhijian said to him: "Please help me send him off."
The little black dog seemed to understand what Shi Zhijian said, and actually ran to the front to guide Chen Huimin and take him downstairs.
Seeing Chen Huimin going out, Shi Yufeng immediately pulled Shi Zhijian over and said, "Did you make a mistake and pay for a driver?"
Shi Zhijian reached out and pushed the elder sister down, "It's necessary." Then he told her what happened tonight.
After hearing Shi Zhijian's thrilling experience, Shi Yufeng's eyes widened. First, she clasped her hands and said Bodhisattva bless her, and then said that Chen Huimin was the right person to hire, and that he would be able to help if such a thing happened again. Finally, she said that her attitude just now was not good, and tomorrow she would
Be sure to treat him to a meal when you come over.
After praying, Shi Yufeng still felt uneasy. Seeing Bao'er's mouth full of sweet-scented osmanthus cake, she pulled her over and said, "What are you going to eat? Your uncle almost threw himself into the street! Then the whole family will eat gold ingots!"
…
"Woof woof woof!"
The little black dog took Chen Huimin downstairs, wagging his tail and watching him open the car door.
Chen Huimin was about to put the cakes she was carrying into the car, but when she saw the little black dog still looking at her pitifully, she couldn't help but feel soft and opened the bag to take a piece of cake to feed the little black dog, but she saw that there was a cake inside the bag.
Holding a wad of Hong Kong dollars, I took it out and counted two thousand dollars.
Chen Huimin looked up at the tenement building and happened to see Shi Zhijian standing on the third floor, holding his hands on the railing and eating a cigarette. Seeing him looking up, he waved to Chen Huimin.
Chen Huimin felt moved in his heart. He knew that Shi Zhijian had deliberately stuffed the money in it because he was afraid that he would not accept it.
Chen Huimin bowed deeply to Shi Zhijian, took a small amount of cake and threw it to the little black dog, then got in the car again and drove away.
…
Kwun Tong slum area.
At the street corner, under the flickering kerosene lamp.
A middle-aged man was rubbing fish balls and throwing them into the pot.
A little girl was sitting on a small horse, using a cardboard box as a makeshift desk, and was doing her homework in the dim light.
Surrounding the fish ball stall, four or five shaggy boys were leaning forward and talking to the fish ball owner.
"Old man, your Huimin owes the society one thousand yuan and it's time to pay it back! We can't default on it any longer!"
"Yes, our brother Gui Tian has been here several times, and you always said you would come back tomorrow, but so far you haven't even seen a single hair!"
"No money! I have money to pay for my sister's tuition!" Father Chen didn't even raise his head. "Besides, that bad boy owes you money. Why are you looking for me when you ask him to go?"
"Why are we looking for you? Who told you to be his father?" Changmao, known as "Ghost Tim" said with an unhappy face, "If you don't mess with his mother, he won't be born! If you don't give birth to him, he will
You won’t join us and the Lian Sheng Society!”
Guitian stretched out his hand, pinched a fish ball and threw it into his mouth, shaking his body: "The club thinks highly of him, so it will spend money to arrange for him to be a police officer! It's a pity that he didn't live up to expectations, and his identity was revealed. Not even a police officer.
You have to do it, and all the money the society invested in him will be wasted!"
"The club sees that he has contributed in the past, and now it only wants him to contribute a thousand yuan! That's it, you and your son are still pushing back and forth!"
Father Chen finally raised his head and glanced at Gui Tian, "It's hard to do business now. The money I make from making fish balls for a day is not enough to pay you the protection fee! You eat and take it, and it's already over a thousand yuan!"
"Oh, you old guy is quite good at settling accounts!" Gui Tian said, "Don't think that your son can beat me to scare you two. If you don't come up with the money today, believe it or not, I will kill you."
This stall?!"
As he spoke, Guitian reached out and overturned the steel trough holding the fish balls to the ground.
There was a bang, and the fish balls jumped out of the steel tank, mixing with the soup and rolling all over the floor.
"Abba!" The little girl who was doing her homework was startled, stood up and hid behind Father Chen.
"That bad guy owes you money. How much do you want from him?" Father Chen glared at Gui Tian and others and continued to be tough.
"Choose! I don't know whether to live or die! Come on, smash his stall!" Guitian ordered.
"Ahem, Brother Guitian, do you want to think about it again? Chen Huimin is very good at fighting!"
"Are you afraid?" Guitian said sternly, "It is only natural to pay back debts! Do it!"
Just as Guitian and others were about to open the stall, they heard the buzz of a car.
A black car slammed into Guitian and others like lightning.
Guitian and others were startled, "I'll pick!" and hid in panic.
When I saw a handsome dragon wagging its tail, the car stopped in front of the fish ball stall.
"You are so crazy? Are you looking for death?" Gui Tian yelled.
With a bang, the car door opened.
Chen Huimin circled the car key with her index finger and got out of the car.
"Huh? Chen Huimin?" Guitian and others' eyes widened, and their jaws almost dropped.
"It's brother!" The little girl pointed happily at Chen Huimin.
Father Chen was also shocked and looked at his son in disbelief.
In this day and age, it is good enough for many people to own a bicycle, and those who can drive a car are considered super rich.
"Gudu!" Guitian swallowed and asked his companions, "Am I right? Did Chen Huimin rush to the street and get out of the car?"
"You read that right! Besides, I don't call him Poujie!" Chen Huimin stretched out her hand and jammed Guitian's neck.
Guitian was caught by his neck and lifted up directly, which shows how strong Chen Huimin is.
"Let...let me go!" Guitian crossed his legs desperately.
"Hurry up and let go of our boss!" Several of the younger brothers looked fierce and angry.
They know best who Chen Huimin is.
If they do it, they will definitely not be able to make three moves.
Seeing that Guitian was about to be stuck, Chen Huimin let go of his hand, raised his arm, and threw Guitian to the ground.
Just as Gui Tian was about to stand up, Chen Huimin stepped on his head, took out the two thousand Hong Kong dollars given by Shi Zhijian from his pocket, counted one thousand Hong Kong dollars and threw them in Gui Tian's face one by one: "Hey! Here is a
Take the thousand yuan! Go back and tell your boss, Fat Boy Bo, that I, Chen Huimin, and he will not default or owe anything! If you dare to bully my father again in the future, I will chop you into ten pieces and eight pieces! Get out!"
Gui Tian and others hurriedly picked up the Hong Kong coins scattered on the ground, and helped Gui Tian, who was almost dead, and ran away immediately without daring to linger.
"You are so majestic, you can kill people at ten or eight levels? How did I give birth to a boy like you?" Father Chen said coldly to Chen Huimin.
Chen Huimin turned to look at her father: "I am your son after all. Could it be that you like me to be chopped into eight or ten pieces by them?"
Father Chen stopped talking.
He used to be very proud of his son, especially when his son was a prison guard. It was his most glorious time. He felt that although he was poor, he was still poor. When he became a policeman, he would at least have a chance to get ahead.
Unexpectedly, Shaozi didn't learn well and turned out to be an undercover agent in the club. In the end, he not only lost his job but also became a joke among the neighbors.
During that time, Father Chen didn't know how he survived. When he opened his eyes, he saw that his son was being ridiculed for being a bastard and a rebel.
Then there is the debt collection by people from the association. One thousand yuan can be taken from the street until the end, and even business can't be done.
"Okay, Dad! Let's stop arguing. I'll help you clean up the stall!"
"You don't need to take care of it, I will take care of it myself."
"My little sister still has to do her homework, so we'd better pack up and go home."
"Go home? Who are we? I have been making fish balls for half my life to feed the five of you. If I stop talking, I will starve to death if I don't do business!"
"I'm going to starve to death!" Chen Huimin took out the remaining 1,000 yuan and stuffed it to her father. "You can spend this money first. You have arthritis, rheumatism, and the weather has been bad these days. If you can, leave without going out.
Out of the stall!"
"You support me if you don't work out of the stall!" Father Chen said and took the money.
"Of course I will support you, and I will also support the whole family."
"What, you're hooking up with that big boss again, are you helping people kill people or collecting debts?"
"It's nothing! You abandoned the dark and turned to the light to help others drive cars!"
"You work as a driver for others?"
"There are also bodyguards! The monthly salary is two thousand."
"What, two thousand?"
Father Chen's eyes widened and he looked at his son in disbelief, then at the black Volkswagen.
Two thousand yuan is not a small sum in this era. Many wage earners only earn three or four hundred yuan a month.
However, Chen Huimin started to help him put away the fish ball stall. After finishing these things, he greeted the little girl, "Do you want to take a ride? There are pastries on top!"
"Is there something good to eat?" The little girl's eyes lit up and she immediately ran to the car.
Chen Huimin opened her handbag, took out the snacks given to her by Shi Zhijian, handed them to her sister and said, "Save some, take them home and let the third and fifth sisters have a taste."
"Yeah!" Chen Xiaomei sat in the car and looked around, chewing bean paste cake, feeling extremely happy.
Father Chen was pushing a trolley outside, looked into the car, and said, "Sister, be careful! Don't make the boss's car dirty! There is also a bad boy, you must do a good job.
! Finally found a serious job, our old Chen family can be considered as smoke rising from the ancestral grave!"
"Don't worry, Dad! Mr. Shi is a very nice person!" Chen Huimin felt grateful when she thought of Shi Zhijian's trust and respect for her.
Xiaomei Chen stuffed a piece of bean paste cake into Father Chen's mouth through the window, "Abba, try it, it's very sweet!"
