Chapter 18 Old Zhao

When Qin Fan rode along Jiefang Road, turned to Yunlu Street, drove past the Grain Building, Xinhua Bookstore, and the Second Department Store...... When I came to the gate of the old county party committee. Uncle Lin Yiqiang was already waiting for him in front of the gate, and when he saw him riding and getting off, Qi asked, "What do you do with this?"

Qin Fan was also almost annoyed, and when he saw an acquaintance, he asked, and he had to explain. When I saw my uncle asking, I told the reason again. The uncle smiled and said, "Get together with your comrades-in-arms in the evening and go together." ”

"It's not good. ”

"Just me and him, you also know each other, your Uncle Shi. ”

"Well, I haven't seen him in a long time. Qin Fan agreed.

Riding side by side to the head of the Yunlu Bridge, my uncle asked, "Have you told your family?"

"No, I came straight from school. ”

Before crossing the bridge, he turned to Pear Blossom Lane and asked his uncle: "Where are you gathering, so remote?"

"It's a small restaurant and it tastes great. After riding for a while, my uncle said, "It's here." ”

Parking and looking up, it is also a two-story wooden building facing the street, recessed behind the wooden buildings on both sides, there is a short three-foot alley in the middle, and the lintel is only painted with red, and the four characters "Lao Han Hotel" are brushed.

"So biased, is the business good?" Qin Fan asked.

"You haven't come to eat, you don't know, his family's business is very good, it's almost in the summer, and when it's a little cold, his dog meat is fragrant, and they all have to line up to eat. ”

As he spoke, the uncle and nephew locked the car together and walked towards the door of the store, and when they entered the door, a fat man of nearly forty came to greet him: "Lin Ke, the old history has not arrived yet, and the position has been arranged." "Obedient voice, uncle seems to be a regular visitor. Uncle was not polite and went up to the second floor. There was an empty table on the second floor, and there was already a person sitting and drinking tea next to it.

Uncle asked: "Lao Zhao, are you free today?" Lao Zhao was also in his early forties, and when he saw his uncle asking, he hurriedly stood up: "Hey, Brother Shi asked me to come." ”

Uncle introduced: "This is my nephew, this is your Uncle Zhao." ”

"Uncle Zhao is good. "It's not very familiar, and I don't remember it well.

After a while, Lao Shi rushed over, bowed his hand to apologize, and when he saw Qin Fan, he scolded with a smile: "You stinky boy, what are you doing?" Immediately afterwards, Lao Han and half of the children brought a few dishes up, and there was a plate of dog leg meat and a few plates of garlic clove sauce.

Lao Shi took out two bottles of wine from the bag he brought, and said to them: "I specially let Lao Han keep it to satisfy his hunger today." ”

Lao Zhao smiled bitterly: "Every time I come to you, I drink the wine from your winery." ”

"The wine is pretty good. Uncle interjected.

Qin Fan felt that he was the youngest, so he hurriedly took the wine bottle, opened the wine lid, and filled it for the three of them, Lao Zhao nodded, and asked casually: "Nephew doesn't want to come some?" I used to drink with my uncle, and my uncle said, "We drink ours, and he wants to drink it himself." "Drinking and drinking.

After drinking about three or four cups of wine, Lao Zhao sighed and said, "Old Shi, Brother Shi, my Brother Shi, if you don't give me some money back, I'm really going to get off work." ”

Lao Shi smiled and said: "The Food Bureau is not your Lao Zhao's, you that person's heart." After eating a piece of dog meat, he said: "The efficiency of the current factory is not good, and the wages of the workers are not paid, so there is money to pay back your grain, and how many years has that money been accumulated, I just took over last year, and I really can't arrange it." ”

Uncle asked: "The wine in the distillery is okay, how can it be lost." "Oh, you don't know, the distillery's... It's hard to put into words..."

Qin Fan interjected at this time: "The wine is not bad, why not advertise, the brand is out, the wine is sold quickly, and the more it sells, the more money it will naturally have." When all three heard this, they all laughed. Qin Fan wondered, what was so funny about this. Uncle Shi teased and asked: "Fanzi, then how do you see how to advertise." At this time, he knew that the advertisement was on TV, where someone held a wine and said that so-and-so wine was delicious.

Qin Fan thought about it, and roughly said the plan he made, the three of them didn't expect that the advertisement could still do this, and they were silent for a while, Uncle Shi thought for a moment and asked, "If you do this, how much will it cost?" Estimated, according to the price at the time: 100,000. Uncle Shi was deflated when he heard this, and shook his head: "No money, no money." ”

Lao Zhao next to him lowered his head and meditated for a while, and raised his head, but his eyes were shining.

Uncle Shi saw that Qin Fan didn't understand, and he was also drunk, so he counted the accounts with his fingers, how much did so-and-so unit owe them, how much did so-and-so unit still owe them, and how much did the wages of employees still have not been paid, and how much they still owe outside. There is a lot of liquor in stock, but it is the off-season for liquor, and there are few sales. After calculating it, it was difficult for Lao Zhao to mention the arrears.

After Qin Fan said goodbye to them, he saw that this place was not far from his grandfather's house, so he rode on the car and rode to his grandfather's house, not riding far, listening to someone shouting behind him, when he looked back, there was a jeep parked not far away, Lao Zhao poked his head out and beckoned to him. Qin Fan thought to himself, I am not familiar with you, what else do I have to say. But he still rode over and asked, "Uncle Zhao, what are your orders?" Old Zhao scolded with a smile: "Little grease mouth, you tell Uncle, what you just said, is it what you think, or ......?"

"It's what I think, and it's not what I think. ”

Lao Zhao put away his smiling face: "If you think about it, I'll talk to you." It's not what you think, so please help introduce you. ”

"Oh, that's it, Uncle Zhao, it's too late for you to see the sky, I'll take someone to talk to you another day, Uncle Zhao goodbye." "Am I familiar with you?

Looking at Qin Fan in the distance, Lao Zhao scolded with a smile: "This little rabbit cub." ”

Not far away, a long hair poked his companion who was collecting protection money: "Look, is that a mortal." The companion glanced at it: "Fanzi is like you with long hair, where is the dirt cub with the lid of the pot." ”

Walked into my grandfather's house, and as soon as I entered the house, I was kissed by my aunt with saliva all over my face. Grandma was playing horse hangings with a few old ladies, and grandpa was also smoking after-dinner cigarettes: "I'd rather lose my ancestors on three points of the field, don't lose a cigarette after dinner", and the three of them looked happy.

Grandma smiled and asked, "Who told you to take care of this?" Grandpa sat at the offering table and hummed, "Well shaved, well shaved." Then he was pulled aside by his aunt and said in a rambling voice: In addition to playing cards, my grandmother is drinking, and she still drinks loose wine.

After my grandfather retired, he bought vegetables every day and cooked new dishes. Qin Fan was surprised and said, "Isn't this good? Aunt smiled bitterly: "As much as the three of us can eat, we can't eat it." My aunt said distressedly.

Qin Fan knew that his grandfather was a famous local chef. He didn't take charge for a day, and he didn't feel comfortable that day. In their previous lives, these three old men who had passed away were very fond of Qin Fan.

Grandma was urged to play cards, and she didn't have time to talk to him more, Qin Fan smiled and looked at it for a while, the old man's eyes were not very good. Grandpa hummed on the chair next to the table inside, "Your grandmother gave money to others." When my grandmother heard this, she said angrily, "I'm happy!" Aunt stretched out her hand to Qin Fan: "Look, I quarrel like this every day." ”

But Qin Fan knew that since his mother's death, the two old men have fallen silent since then.

On the branches of the moon, the long-haired Changjun dragged his tiredness back to the low, self-built, and simple bungalow, and the old voice in the room: "Junzi, playing outside again, it's not good to read well, you can get into the ......" The same old mother was nagging while pasting the matchbox, and under the dim light, the old mother's eyes were getting worse and worse, and she only got five points for pasting a matchbox.

Chang Jun perfunctorily replied to his mother's words, and while walking out of the low door irritably, he sat cross-legged on the threshold, took out a few crumpled Tokai cigarette cases from his crumpled trouser pocket, and lit the crumpled cigarettes. He misses mortals.

When Qin Fan returned to his house, what he saw was a miserable cloud, Qin's father and Qin's mother's faces were extremely ugly, but the second uncle said casually: "Don't listen to the doctor's foolishness, I know my illness, and tomorrow I will do what Huzi and Lanzi want to buy." ”

Qin's mother said anxiously: "His second uncle, let's go to the hospital for another examination, and let his father accompany you to the provincial capital hospital......"

The second uncle waved his hand: "Spend that money, no, it's still the baby's business!"
