Chapter 35: Tomorrow
Ah Leopard: I bought this car too suddenly.
"I just heard from a friend that I had a car, and I made an appointment before I got the money. Then I went straight to buy it, I wanted to call you, but then I thought about it, and simply surprised you. Ah Bao said and urged: "Come down quickly, the phone bill is expensive! One dollar and one minute, it's fifty seconds, and it's hung up." β
Stuck seconds to call, originally also the characteristics of the times, roadside public telephone is five cents a minute, can be finished, never timeout, if you hit a minute and one second, it is like losing half a life, so generally will hang up a few seconds in advance, the pursuit of the limit of fifty-nine seconds, afraid of missing the choice of fifty seconds.
Chen Wenjin hung up the phone, secretly convinced, in this way, does his plan have to be postponed until the next time Ah Bao wins the lottery? Now that he has just bought a car, Ah Bao may not have much money in his hand, and the implementation of the plan may not be able to achieve the desired effect.
"This guy is really fast, he went to buy it alone, and he was not afraid of encountering the situation last time?" Chen Wenjin went downstairs and saw that Ah Bao's car was exactly the same as his.
"Sixty thousand yuan! I know a good brother who has been working in a car repair shop recently, and I wrote it down the last time I heard someone talk about it, and after I determined that I won the lottery, I asked him to help pay attention to it, learn from you, and said that it was my family to buy a car. It just so happened that he said that he had just received one in the store, and the price was very cheap, I knew that he was reliable, so he went directly, and he really didn't tell others, only the boss who bought the car knew, he lied that I was his relative, and the boss should not make any small moves. Ah Leopard was very proud of this operation, and felt more like it was destined. "Look, these two cars are like they were prepared for us! You bought them first, let me take them to the majesty, and then as soon as I had the money, I bought the same model, and no one else could see it, but the inside was a little old and lost, you see, it's not obvious, right?"
"It's not easy to see the difference unless both cars are familiar. Chen Wenjin's affirmation made Ah Bao even happier, and immediately beckoned him to get into the car and said, "Let's go, go for a ride!"
A leopard drove the car, constantly overtaking on the road, and always wanted to fight at the start, but after all, he was not familiar with it when he first learned, so he frequently turned off, and then he started no better than the green light, just accelerated on the road.
Chen Wenjin knew the cost of the car, and he also knew how much money Ah Bao had left in his hand, so he decided to implement the original plan.
After driving all the way, Ah Bao stopped on the side of the road, smoking a cigarette and drinking water, Chen Wenjin said: "There is bad news for you. β
β...... What?" Leopard's eyes widened and he brushed his golden hair.
"The aliens came to me last night, saying that they were leaving here due to special circumstances, and the next time they came was estimated to be three hundred years away. After Chen Wenjin finished speaking, he drank water, and saw that Ah Bao's happy expression turned into a shocked guess.
"You're kidding me, aren't you?
"No, I'm serious. Chen Wenjin is sure, of course, the second half of the sentence should be that he is seriously lying.
β...... !" Ah Bao smoked heavily, pressed his forehead again, and said straight in his mouth: "I just planned how to spend the money, and I calculated the 180,000 yuan I won next time." If you have a relationship with your family, you can go to an art school if you get the money, and I thought that since I had money, of course I would go to an art school to continue my studies. There are a lot of beautiful women, I drive a car and I have money, it's like a fairy life! I'll go, why can't those aliens leave a little later? Or tell you a big prize! Don't they tell you the number for the next time before they leave?"
"I also asked, what did they say about the test equipment put away, I don't understand specifically, roughly they came here to test the strength of some kind of equipment, the black technology that can predict certain events, it was originally planned to be tested for a year, but it was forced to be suspended in advance, and the next test will not come here, and the next time it is according to their observation plan, three hundred years later. As for the jackpot, they said that the one that didn't win the buy, and the prediction would change. Chen Wen thought about it this morning, and by the way, these words are also to make the help of aliens disappear forever.
"Damn! what bad luck!" Ah Leopard was very annoyed, the moneyβthere are still 180,000 yuan to be received...... Ah Leopard lost his cigarette, lit it again, took a puff, and asked, "How many times have you won the prize before?"
"Three times, the prize money was handed in, and there was not much left, thinking about it again. Chen Wenjin knew that Ah Leopard's heart was in the battle between gods and demons, and wanted to use it as a basis for decision-making by knowing how much money he had in his hands.
"It's not going to be less than me, is it?" asked Leopard, smoking a cigarette.
"More than thirty thousand. Chen Wenjin reported a similar number, and said: "If you know that the aliens are leaving so fast, you must stay more." β
"You also know how much money you have left after buying the car, and if you say that if this happens, you will share half of it, do you think it is half of the remaining money, or half of the whole money?"
"Since half of it is what you said, you can calculate this half as you want. Chen Wenjin drank water, looking forward to Ah Bao's next decision.
"I shouldn't have taken advantage of you, but I'll tell you the truth, if I count it all in general, I won't have any money left. If you go to an art school, you need 20,000 yuan, so I want to count the rest, so I can still keep some in my hand, do you think it's okay?"
"No problem. Chen Wenjin happily agreed, he didn't care about more or less, he just wanted to make sure that Ah Bao in his youth had not become the person who would sell his friendship for a little money. At this moment, Ah Leopard's decision really made him happy, and in his memory, Ah Leopard's future has changed, but Ah Leopard in his youth regards friendship with him as more important than tens of thousands of yuan.
"Okay, I'll give you the money tomorrow, I'll put it at home now, I don't have much with me, go out at night and have a good time!"
"Then tomorrow. Chen Wenjin has an ominous premonition, tomorrow, often there is no tomorrow...... At this moment, if Ah Bao can give him money without hesitation in one breath, he will successfully establish his personality, and as for tomorrow, it means that he is still at war in his heart, and he will have to endure more hesitation and struggle for a longer time.
Ah Bao has been drinking frequently recently, and a few people who are one or two years older and have not studied have asked him how to make a fortune, hoping that he has a good way to make money, and if conditions permit, they may be able to follow along.
Knowing that Ah Leopard won the lottery at home, he could only be envious.
After one after another, I went to a good place, and everyone toasted frequently, with many compliments, and the leopard drank until it floated up to the clouds, and I haven't heard so many nice words in the past sixteen years.
It wasn't until the end of the song that the people dispersed, Ah Leopard was forced to leave the private room, he looked at the shadows coming and going, all of them seemed to be jade-like beauties, and couldn't help but get drunk and said: "Gold, you must come to get it one day! Now that you have money, how can you not be happy?"
Sitting in the car, Ah Leopard smoked a cigarette, pulled the collar of his clothes, lit a cigarette, and said like a drunken remark, and said like a whisper: "Can't you do money without branches?"
"You promised it. Chen Wenjin started the car and was about to go back, but Ah Bao said, "Let's go to eat barbecue together, I haven't eaten for a long time." Last time, I invited a few skewers, and the mutton skewers were so few, what do you mean by eating one or two skewers? But there is no way, you can only eat to taste it, and you have no money to eat, my parents earn little money and work hard, think about my mother sweeping the street from morning to night is not enough to eat a meal, my dad's construction site is tired and tired for a day is not enough for me to support a meal, as long as you have a little conscience, you know not to ask them for this kind of extravagant spending. Every time I see a barbecue stand, I think about when I have money and have a good meal. Speaking of which, it's not expensive to eat alone, but it's rare to have a little money, you have to have a drink and have no balance, or you have to calculate what to do next, a pack of cigarettes a day and no less, these are more important than eating a barbecue, and this wish has not been realized until now. You are my best brother, accompany me to eat a hard meal tonight, we ate food before, and we will eat barbecue today!"
In fact, the barbecue is much cheaper, but Ah Bao said that Chen Wenjin understands, in his memory, Ah Bao worries the most about what to do if he has no money to buy cigarettes, and he has to keep it for cigarettes first if he has a little money in his pocket.
Ah Bao was very refreshed, called a lot of things, and began to say that he couldn't drink anymore, but he ate and chatted, and took another beer.
Chen Wenjin was eating, drinking, and chatting, and listened to Ah Bao say a lot, from the things he had been talking about when he was a child until now, and finally when he talked about Peaches, he burped and said: "Actually, I didn't hate Peaches so much, and I looked down on her more and more when I knew what kind of virtue she had at school." But she's good-looking and doesn't want money, isn't it cheap like my character? Of course not! The real reason for deciding to break up is that she and Megumi don't get along, Megumi and I said very clearly, Momoko didn't reconcile with Megumi because we were brothers, or resentful, Megumi said that she didn't want to destroy our brotherly feelings, so the ugly words were said first, if Momoko targeted her first, then she would definitely fight back, but let me not blame her for not giving me affection. I originally thought it wasn't that serious, but the words of Momoko in the private room let me know that she was a scourge, and if I didn't dump him, I might really lose your brother. β
Chen Wenjin listened, nodded, raised his glass, and decided to be a good listener tonight.
Ah Leopard said a lot, and even said the secret of peeking at a female stealing to learn short cuffs.
When I went back, the car stopped, and Ah Bao got out of the car, took the car keys, and said apologetically: "I should have asked you to drive the car back, but I will use it tomorrow." β
"It's fine. Chen Wenjin actually knew that Ah Bao would not let him drive away, because tonight, Ah Bao said too much.
"Gold, will you suddenly change your mind and don't need me to split the money?" Ah Bao looked at Chen Wenjin drunkenly, as if he was joking.
"If you don't want to divide it, you can just say it. Chen Wenjin actually knew what Ah Bao was thinking.
"Hey...... Tomorrow, see you tomorrow, go back. Ah Leopard walked into the community door drunk.
"Good night, good dreams. Chen Wenjin waved his hand and left.
But he knew he wouldn't see him tomorrow.
Ah Bao has actually made a decision, so he will say so many things that he has never said in the past, Ah Bao does not want to break off diplomatic relations, and in the end he can only hope that Chen Wenjin will change his mind and not need him to share the money.
Those wines, those barbecues, those words, it seems that they want to make up for everything that should be said and gathered in the future.
The next day, at dawn.
Chen Wenjin didn't call Ah Leopard, the gentleman would never say anything bad, not to mention that he didn't feel disappointed or angry, it was normal for human nature to not stand the test, especially with such a big temptation, he fully understood Ah Leopard's thoughts.
It's just that the most cherished friendship should be the kind of person who can surpass the ordinary.
If not, don't think it's that close.
Hui returned to his hometown, Chen Wenjin didn't look for Ah Bao, and he didn't contact him there, he just went to the movies with his sister Chen Qian, and ate and drank for a day.
Once too young and lacking love, he grasped the friendship that he firmly believed in with one hand, and the young love that he thought would come forever with the other.
Time has made the teenagers who have grown up understand that family is irreplaceable and the pivotal role of blood.
Since he lives again, many other things can be changed, and he can try new things, but there is one thing that Chen Wenjin thinks should be changed even more.
Take the time spent with righteous friends to spend more time with your family, because the affection and trust of your brothers and sisters are most likely to last through your life.
At twelve o'clock in the evening, Chen Wenjin was still playing on the computer, his mobile phone was on the table, and there was no call from Ah Bao all day.
At one o'clock in the morning, Chen Wenjin lay down to sleep after taking a shower, and before he could close his eyes, the phone suddenly rang......
