"Don't kick me, it's really me, not a monster or anything like that."
When Lao Xu saw Melika preparing to raise her feet, he immediately explained.
Good guy, every time you hit Lao Zhang, you use force. If it falls on your head, it will be even harder. So Lao Xu immediately opened his mouth and explained that he is Lao Xu, and he is not something who has turned into himself and come to harm you two.
"It's healed so soon?" Melika was a little unconvinced and turned to look at Zhang Chi.
Zhang Chi smiled and said: "Look at what I do, I've been with you all the time, how could you know."
He said he didn't know, but in fact Zhang Chi knew that the handful of gourd pulp he added to Lao Xu's bowl had an effect, at least it accelerated the healing of his illness.
"I don't know what's going on. After drinking the ginger soup, I just feel like something is being excreted from my body. As more and more sweat is excreted, I feel better and better. No, this is just a long time ago.
"Zhong, I feel completely recovered," Lao Xu said.
Zhang Chi smiled after hearing this and said: "Okay, you should continue to sleep and strengthen your body. What if you come back to the light again?"
After hearing this, Lao Xu laughed and said: "Even if I am able to regain my health, you still have to let me have a full stomach. The so-called would rather die than become a starving ghost. Why don't you even have this bit of sympathy?"
"Where's Aunt Lu?" Zhang Chi stood up from his chair and asked casually.
Lao Xuhe: "Sister Lu has packed up her things there. When I saw there was nothing to eat there, I thought of you talking about drinking this afternoon, so I came over to take a look."
Lao Xu guessed that the couple must have cooked a lot of dishes. Given their personalities, they must not have eaten much. There were at least one or two dishes left, so he came over to ask and if there were any, he would eat them.
, if not, you can go back and make instant noodles. Of course, Lao Xu hopes there is some here.
Sure enough, Zhang Chi and Melika had almost no interest in the cold dishes they originally made. They ate a little of the fish and a little of the shrimp, but the other items were kept in the cold area of the refrigerator.
"Hey, you really asked the right question!"
Lao Xu saw Zhang Chi serving several dishes and setting up a small table under the porch. He rubbed his hands happily and then asked Zhang Chi for a drink: "Brothers, take out the wine and let us drink."
How many cups?"
"Did you drink when you were sick?" Zhang Chi felt that you, an old boy, were too useless. You acted like a bear when you were sick just now, but now you want to drink as soon as you recover from the illness.
When Lao Xu heard this, he immediately said: "This is the time to drink. Wine is food. The more you drink, the younger you will be. If you don't drink at this time, how long should I wait to drink? I really have to wait until I can return to my glory. Besides, you
Aren’t all these dishes still there? If you don’t eat them, it won’t taste right if you leave them for a few meals..."
Zhang Chi finally understood that this guy was only thinking about drinking.
Others would probably have dissuaded him, but Zhang Chi felt that since the bottle gourd pulp was effective, he should drink it. At worst, everyone could just keep a little and drink it.
So I took the wine bottle and started to stand up.
Not inside the house, but directly under the corridor outside, there was a small long table, the same as the small tables placed outside in domestic night markets.
"Merika, do you want to come over for a drink?" Zhang Chi shouted to his wife.
Melika was not in the mood to drink with them at this time. She had already eaten one meal, and she would not be as depraved as Zhang Chi and have a second meal, so she refused.
Zhang Chi and Lao Xu sat on one side, facing each other under the gallery, with a lamp hanging above their heads.
Zixiao!
After drinking a small glass of wine, a warmth will be felt along the throat and into the stomach. Then eat some cold peanuts, dip it with beef, and make a sauce with sesame oil, vinegar, coriander, etc. It tastes quite good.
.
The two of them were bragging and talking about mountains and rivers while eating and drinking. The happiest thing was not drinking, but talking about mountains and rivers.
While chatting, Lao Xu asked a little strangely: "Hey, that's strange, why are there no bugs under your porch?"
Not to mention that Lao Xu was strange, except for Zhang Chi, no one else was strange.
How much pasture is there?
Some people say cows and sheep, and some people say shit crocodiles, but in fact the most common ones are these little bugs.
Don't underestimate these little bugs. It's not easy for you to have a peaceful sleep when they are noisy.
Even though the weather here is hot and cool, when the weather is thaw and there is no ice, it is the world of these little bugs, all kinds of big and small.
Generally, small bugs are just a bit annoying, but some bugs are more than just annoying. When they land on your skin, the light ones will leave a red mark, the big ones will cause bumps, and some of them may be very toxic.
suppuration.
Those who support construction sites like Lao Xu usually ask workers to carry some anti-insect drugs with them to prevent damage from these small flying insects.
But today, Lao Xu discovered that there were no small insects under the porch outside Zhang Chi's house, so he asked curiously: "What kind of anthelmintic did you use?"
Zhang Chi smiled and said: "I almost never use any deworming medicine. Last time, Melika got a few packs. If you want to know, I can ask her."
"How many bags are there behind the door?" Lao Xu stopped and asked.
Seeing Zhang Chi nodded, Lao Xu picked up the wine cup in front of him, touched it with Zhang Chi, and drank it all in one gulp.
"Forget those two packs. I have some stuff at home, but the effect is really mediocre. Just those two packs of useless snacks will definitely not work. It's weird, yours doesn't have any taste." Lao Xu began to think about it.
Zhang Chi is not afraid of him pondering. Whatever he can ponder, he can't guess that there is a gourd floating next to his head. That's not called pondering, that's called fortune telling.
After guessing for a while, Lao Xu gave up. Of course, it might be because he was a little drunk and started speaking backwards when he spoke.
When Zhang Chi saw it, he felt that he was almost done drinking, so he said to Lao Xu, "How about we just drink here?"
Lao Xu nodded. He didn't feel that he had drunk too much. He just felt that it was time to call it a day. He was working now and was not idle. It would not be good to drink to death. So when he heard what Zhang Chi said, he took the cup.
After drinking the last bit of wine in the cup, he pushed the cup aside.
Not drunk, Lao Xu and Zhang Chi cleared the table together, and finally said hello to Melika before returning to his car.
When he wasn't going back, Lao Xu would sleep in the car. In this weather, sleeping in the car was not hard except that the place where he lay was a little uncomfortable.
Because the temperature is relatively low, but not too low. The temperature at night is only about ten degrees, which is not really too cold. Wrap yourself in a blanket or something and you can get over it overnight.
Cold is better than hot. Lao Xu once worked in a job in Texas. It was so good that he didn't kill himself. He worked there and couldn't sleep without the air conditioner at night. When he slept in the car, the temperature was suitable for the car.
Iron man, if you don't turn on the air conditioner, you will become an immortal.
But today was a little different. Lao Xu was sweating just now while wrapped in a blanket. The sweat on his body was washed away, but the smell on the blanket remained, and the blanket was still a little damp. Lao Xu had to ask the workers,
Does anyone have a clean blanket?
It's good to have more people. There are always more people for these things, so Lao Xu had a good sleep tonight.
As for why he didn't ask Zhang Chi to borrow them, it was because Lao Xu knew that Melika was a bit eccentric. If he had asked Merika to borrow these things, he would probably have walked in front of her and Melika would have thrown them away.
Lao Xu is not complaining, but he knows that people with Jiepi actually don't want to be like this. He understands that although he will feel a little uncomfortable in his heart, he understands.
In the next two days, the weather was quite good, and the progress of the project here kept changing day by day.
Lao Xu brought a few more people over from other construction sites. There were not many people, but they were all technical personnel. They were not in charge of places like cowboy dormitories or stables, but Zhang Chi's new residence.
"Drink something at lunch?"
Zhang Chi asked Lao Xu.
Lao Xu waved his hand: "It won't be possible at noon today. I have to rush to the construction site in the small town over there."
Zhang Chi just casually said that he had just drank two days ago and drank again today. Comrade Zhang is no longer an alcoholic.
Zhang Chi was about to chat with Lao Xu for a while when his cell phone rang.
I picked it up and saw that it was a call from my good neighbor.
So I waited for the phone to ring several times before answering the call.
"Hello!"
"Hey, is this Zhang Chi? I'm your neighbor...".
The annoying voice on the other end of the phone rang.
"Oh, what's the matter?" Zhang Chi asked.
Why are you calling? Zhang Chi feels that apart from the bad things his son has done, there is anything else worth calling him. Maybe he wants him to issue a letter of understanding to his son or something like that.
Son.
So Zhang Chi felt that he could take some control.
Sure enough, the good neighbor opened his mouth and said: "It's not because of my little beast that caused you trouble. I want to come to your door and apologize to you."
When the good neighbor found out about this, he punished his son.
He didn't think it was wrong for this kid to feed Zhang Chi's cattle with plastic bags, but he felt that this kid was so incompetent that he was caught doing bad things. You, me, and I have done so many bad things, except
Have you ever been caught stealing someone's wife? When have you ever been caught stealing someone else's wife?
When Zhang Chi heard that someone came to apologize, he immediately felt that it would be a bad idea not to let him come because a good neighbor said that you should bring two bottles of good wine.
There is no Maotai in my small wine cabinet!
"welcome!"
Zhang Chi smiled.
When Lao Xu saw Zhang Chi put down the phone, he asked, "Who is it?"
"My neighbor next to me".
"that is……?"
"Yeah" Zhang Chi nodded.
Old Xu took a sip and said: "This person is really a piece of shit. I will never associate with this person. This person is a scumbag!"
Zhang Chi glanced at him and felt that Lao Xu was scolding me.
