"Ah, Mr. Chen, I'm here to see a brother who is a native here. ”

Meng Long scratched his head, then smiled.

"I see. ”

Chen Wangbei nodded.

"Then Mr. Chen, why did you come here all of a sudden?"

Meng Long asked curiously.

"I—I'm here to take care of something. Chen Wangbei touched his nose and said with a smile.

"Oh, then Mr. Chen, are you going to stay in the hotel?"

Meng Long nodded, then glanced at the hotel behind Chen Wangbei and asked.

"Well, but it's late, and the hotels here are full. ”

Speaking of this, Chen Wangbei was a little helpless.

"Harm, I don't know what's going on during this time, suddenly a large number of outsiders poured into this Wutai County, although Wutai County is a small tourist county, but there are not so many people in ordinary times. Meng Long also shook his head a little puzzled, then looked at Chen Wangbei and said: "Mr. Chen, you definitely can't live in this store, if you don't dislike it, go to my brother's house to live, he has a free place there." ”

"Isn't this okay?"

Chen Wangbei was a little embarrassed.

"There's nothing bad about it, we've grown up with bare butts as iron buddies, and he will never dislike it!"

Meng Long patted his chest and said.

"That'...... In that case, I'm sorry for you. ”

Chen Wangbei looked at the sky and saw that it was not early, and the snow outside was getting heavier and heavier, and finally nodded.

"No, Mr. Chen, what are you polite to me, your kindness to us is simply worthless compared to this. Let's go, it's weirdly cold outside, I'll take you home!"

Meng Long smiled honestly, and then pulled Chen Wangbei and prepared to walk towards his brother's house.

"No hurry, I'm here by car. ”

Chen Wangbei looked at Meng Long's honest face and smiled, and pointed to the lane behind him: "Get in the car." ”

"Oh, good. ”

Meng Long nodded, and without saying a word, he followed Chen Wangbei into the car.

Under Meng Long's guidance, Chen Wangbei finally drove into a bungalow area after driving for about ten minutes.

"Mr. Chen, turn right in front of a courtyard with a bronze gossip mirror hanging at the door. ”

Meng Long said.

"Hmm. ”

Chen Wangbei nodded, then drove forward for more than a thousand meters, and after turning right, a dilapidated courtyard with a bronze gossip mirror appeared in front of Chen Wangbei's eyes.

Stopping and getting out of the car, Chen Wangbei looked at the small dilapidated courtyard in front of him, which was comparable to a slum, and was suddenly a little stunned.

"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, my brother's family is poor, and the environment is like this, I hope you don't dislike it. ”

Meng Long seemed to see Chen Wangbei's stunned expression, and hurriedly explained.

"No, let's go in. ”

Chen Wangbei shook his head with a smile, although this place is very broken, but Chen Wangbei has no waves in his heart, thinking that when he was cultivating in his last life, he had never stayed in a place of poor mountains and bad waters, compared to those places, this place is really nothing.

"That's good, Mr. Chen, please come in, be careful of the threshold. ”

Meng Long thought that Chen Wangbei would dislike him for bringing him to such a shabby place, but he was also relieved when he saw that there was no disgust in Chen Wangbei's eyes.

I admired Chen Wangbei a little again in my heart, and as Chen Wangbei, I could accept this kind of environment and accommodation, which is not something that ordinary rich people can do.

"Little Liu, I'm out to pick up customers!"

As soon as he entered the courtyard gate, Meng Long shouted to a lit room inside.

Immediately afterwards, I saw a simple young man walking out, and when he saw Chen Wangbei in bright clothes next to Meng Long, he was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly trotted over and asked Meng Long, "Brother Meng, which one is this?"

"This is my boss, the boss of the place where I work now, you can just call him Mr. Chen. ”

Meng Long said to Xiao Liu, and then turned his head to Chen Wangbei and said, "Mr. Chen, this is my little Wu Liu, who grew up with a bare ass, you can just call him Xiao Liu." ”

"Hello, Brother Wuliu. ”

Chen Wangbei nodded, and then took the initiative to stretch out his hand to Xiao Liudao.

"Ah, this, don't say goodbye, my hands are dirty. ”

Seeing that Chen Wangbei was so approachable, Xiao Liu was suddenly a little flattered, and hurriedly hid his dark hand behind him, and said with an embarrassed face.

"It's okay, your hands are cleaner than anyone else's. ”

Chen Wangbei smiled faintly, and then grabbed Xiao Liu's dark and rough hand.

"This ...... Thank you. ”

Xiao Liu paused, and looked at Meng Long on the side with a helpless expression.

This is the first time that a big man has said that his hands are not dirty, that's right, in his eyes, Chen Wangbei is the kind of unattainable big man.

And it was this big man who gave him a different feeling, and he usually saw some big shots. But that kind of big people are all arrogant and look like their nostrils are facing the sky, and it is the first time he has met a big man like Chen Wangbei, who is approachable.

"Thank you for what? I want to thank you, I'm afraid I'm going to bother you tonight, and I'll spend the night with you. ”

Chen Wangbei smiled and shook Xiao Liu's hand.

"No problem, no problem, Mr. Chen, I want you not to dislike my broken house, you can live casually. ”

Xiao Liu was stunned at first, and then hurriedly said.

"Haha, then thank you to the little six brothers. ”

Chen Wangbei was also touched by Nei Xiaoliu's simple appearance, and in today's society, there are not many people like him who still maintain simplicity.

"Okay, don't talk about it, Xiaoliu, let's invite Mr. Chen in. ”

At this time, Meng Long on the side reminded Xiao Liu.

"Oh, yes, yes, Mr. Chen, please come in. ”

Xiao Liu reacted at this time, and then hurriedly said.

So the three of them, one after the other, walked into the room in front of them.

As soon as he entered, a warm temperature came to his face, Chen Wangbei glanced at it casually, although the house was dilapidated, but it was cleaned up, the left and right sides were wings, the middle was the living room, and in the center of the living room was a big iron furnace that was burning.

"Mr. Chen, I'm sorry, if you break a little, you will be settled. ”

Xiao Liu glanced at his own four-walled house, and said a little helplessly.

"It's okay, it's good. ”

Chen Wangbei shook his head with a smile, then walked to the stove and sat down.

Xiaoliu hurriedly went to serve tea and pour water, and he was very busy.

"Mr. Chen, have you eaten? Why don't I go and cook some dumplings for you? I just wrapped it today, and the pork and green onions are trapped. ”

After finishing his work, Xiao Liu suddenly remembered something, then looked at Chen Wangbei and asked.

"Pork and green onions trapped in dumplings?" Chen Wangbei paused, and then touched his slightly deflated stomach, although he was not hungry, but he was also a little hungry for that mouthful, and then looked at Xiao Liudao: "Then trouble Xiao Liu's brothers." ”

"No trouble, no trouble, it's just a matter of a few minutes, Mr. Chen, you and Brother Meng sit here for a while, and I'll be back right away." ”

Xiao Liu smiled, then opened the door and prepared to go out to cook dumplings for Chen Wangbei in the kitchen outside.

"Oh yes, Brother Meng, did you buy back the medicine you bought for my mother?"

Just a moment when Xiao Liu's front foot stepped out, he suddenly remembered something, turned his head and asked Meng Long.

"Oh, I forgot about this after I saw Mr. Chen, Xiaoliu, wait a minute, I'll go and get medicine for my godmother. ”

Meng Long slapped his forehead, then said with a look of remorse, got up and prepared to go out.

"Forgot?" Xiao Liu was also stunned, and then stopped Meng Long and said: "Forget Brother Meng, let's go again tomorrow, it's almost twelve o'clock, and the pharmacy will probably close long ago." ”

"Then what can I do, godmother's disease can't be undrugged, it's all my fault, this pig brain!"

Meng Long said with a look of self-reproach.

"There's no way, I can only resist tonight. ”

Xiao Liu shook his head helplessly and said.

"I'm sorry Xiaoliu, it's all my fault. ”

Meng Long looked at Xiao Liudao with a guilty face.

"Brother Meng, where are you talking about this, if it weren't for you, my mother would have already said those bad words for the New Year. You sit with your boss for a while, and I'll cook dumplings for you. ”

Xiao Liu reluctantly squeezed out a smile, then nodded to Chen Wangbei and walked out of the door.

Meng Long looked at Xiao Liu's slightly lonely back, and slapped himself hard.

"Meng Long, Meng Long, how can you forget about saving your life?"

Meng Long slapped himself hard.

"Meng Long, what are you doing here?"

Chen Wangbei stopped him.

"Mr. Chen, I made you smile. Meng Long rubbed his red eye circles, then sat down and said to Chen Wangbei: "Xiaoliu's mother, that is, my godmother, suffered from tuberculosis a long time ago. I've been barely sustaining myself by drinking Chinese medicine, but today I forgot to grab medicine for my godmother, it's very likely that the old disease recurred because of this meal and didn't drink it, and I blamed my pig brain for not remembering things!"

"Tuberculosis?"

Chen Wangbei paused.

Tuberculosis, also known as tuberculosis, is the name for tuberculosis in the old times. Pulmonary symphysis is a highly transmissible disease, patients will have low-grade fever, cough, coughing up blood, chest pain, weight loss and other symptoms in the afternoon, and it is very likely to die of cough after a long time.

"Well, my godmother overworked when she was young, and then she suffered from tuberculosis, and later Xiaoliu sold all her family property to go to big hospitals around the country for treatment in order to treat her godmother, but after the diagnosis came out, they all said that the godmother's tuberculosis had been discovered too late, and I am afraid that she would live for three months at most. ”

Speaking of this, Meng Long, a seven-foot man, couldn't help but redden, his eyes reddened.

After listening to Meng Long's words, Chen Wangbei also felt a little mixed in his heart, it is possible that this is a person's life, birth, old age, sickness and death, but he can't control it.

"The dumplings are coming. ”

Just as the two were talking, Xiao Liu walked in with two plates of freshly cooked dumplings.

"Mr. Chen, eat it while it's hot, these dumplings are all chopped with home-bought meat, and the taste is definitely better than the outside. ”

Xiao Liu took a plate of dumplings and put them in front of Chen Wangbei and said with a smile.

"Thank you, Little Sixth Brother. ”

Chen Wangbei looked at the steaming dumplings in front of him, and couldn't help but drool.

"Brother Meng, this is yours, it's not enough to have it in the pot. ”

Xiao Liu sent another plate to Meng Long.

"Little Six ......"

Meng Long looked at Xiao Liu with a touched face.

"Oh, Brother Meng, eat quickly, look at your mother-in-law's mother-in-law, I don't blame you, do I?" Xiao Liu seemed to know that Meng Long was blaming himself, patted him on the shoulder and laughed in relief.

"Ahem, ahem!"

But at this moment, suddenly there was a violent coughing sound from the left wing.

Xiao Liu's face turned pale suddenly, and he hurriedly ran towards the left wing, and shouted anxiously: "Mom, what's wrong with you?!"
