The residential area, a gray area, is all a product of the seventies of the last century. Jiang Heshui lives in a three-story building next to the street, and directly across the street is a public hotel, named "Little Jasper". In the past, every time he returned home late, Su Chunyan would look at this side from the balcony for a long time.

The rivers and rivers are fond of tobacco and wine, and when they are troubled, they will go to the "small jasper" to drink a pot. After drinking, many bad things have become a passing cloud.

He walked to the door of the "little jasper", subconsciously glanced towards the balcony of his house, and then slipped in like a thief.

The boss of "Little Jasper" is called Yang Weihua, who is the younger brother of Mr. Yang. The brothers are born with a virtue, but Yang Weihua's complexion is dark. The size of the restaurant is about seven or eight tables, and it is the time for dinner, and business is still booming.

The waiter at the counter, a beautiful little girl, saw the river water, "Uncle Cripple is here, please, just sit in your old place?" The old place refers to a small square table in the innermost corner, with a lot of beer crates and other miscellaneous items stacked next to it, and no one usually sits. Jiang Heshui sits here every time for many reasons: first, he is always alone and does not occupy space, second, he is quiet, and he can avoid the sight from his balcony, and third, he is too picky, ordering food is simple, and the restaurant has a meager profit.

Jiang Heshui looked at a cardboard box on the table, and without thinking, moved it to a pile of beer crates next to him, and as soon as he sat down, he saw Yang Weihua walking out of the kitchen.

Yang Weihua walked to Jiang Heshui's side, his eyes widened, but he didn't seem to see him; he looked around the hotel with his palm the size of his palm several times, and then walked to the window, leaning against the glass and looking left and right for a while, as if he had lost his soul.

Seeing this, Jiang Heshui was very confused, "What's the matter?

Yang Weihua turned around and walked back, staring at the river with a mysterious expression, and said, "There is a woman sitting here just now, are you leaving?"

"What the hell? I didn't even look at it. ”

Yang Weihua sat down, "Oh mom, you just now have a little girl sitting here, it's really amazing! I can't stay in the kitchen, I always want to come out and take a few more looks." ”

Yang Weihua and Jiang Heshui live in the compound opposite, usually look up and don't look down, talk casually, and don't taboo to exit. When he was laid off two years ago, Mr. Yang sponsored him to take down this small restaurant. This kid is still his duty, so the business is booming and he has made a few bucks. His eyes narrowed into a slit, "You know that girl?"

"Inexplicable?" Jiang Heshui didn't have the heart to talk about women, "Don't talk about useless things, hurry up and give me something to eat." ”

Yang Weihua stood up with interest, "What's the matter? Change today?" He seemed to know Jiang Heshui's state of mind at this time. If he knew, he must have listened to his brother. Seeing that the river did not squeak, he shook his head and said jokingly: "Knock on the door." If I want to be like you, I won't have to pay for my death. ”

Indeed, just as Jiang Heshui walked into the restaurant, a strange woman passed by him, but he didn't notice it at all.

With little effort, Yang Weihua brought up the food: a plate of steaming fried bean skin with sharp peppers, a small plate of peanuts and a small plate of sour radish, and a bottle of "Erguotou". These are all things that Jiang He likes to eat on a day, and the total amount of goods is only twenty or thirty yuan, which is enough to make him feel immortal and full of wine and food. If the diners are as good as him, Yang Weihua will not be able to be laid off for the second time.

Yang Weihua put the wine and food on the tray in front of him in the same way, "There are a lot of people now, and my brother will drink two cups with you later." "He was very happy today, and what he said was naturally from his heart. The inconspicuous "officialdom killer" in front of him was finally brought down today. At this time, I don't know how many people raised their glasses to celebrate? This is probably a great crossing of life for his brother, who is so gracious to him. Why are you upset to think of this?

Jiang Heshui didn't pay attention to him, not to mention that he was not happy today, even if he was left in the past, he never treated him as a dish. The two people are different, so they naturally do not conspire with each other. I can come here often, and the picture is close to home. However, the price and taste here are also in the middle, and this kid is really doing his duty.

Jiang Heshui was really a little hungry, so he started to ...... After a few glasses of wine, my mood gradually returned to my former relaxation. Although it is only close to June, these days are very hot. He simply took off the gray "T-shirt" that seemed to have never been washed, and put it on the cardboard box next to him, and the ribs on both sides of his body were impressive. He suddenly felt that something was wrong, and subconsciously looked at the diners on the side, and found that no one cared about him at all.

I don't know when, it was already dark outside the store, and the lights were on. He leaned over and saw through the glass that the lights were on, so he took out his mobile phone to tell him that he was safe, but turned it off.

At the farewell party this afternoon, the losers always don't open which pot to mention, and when they heard that they enjoyed the treatment of deputy director after retirement, their whole faces smiled.

The diners in the restaurant left one after another, and finally Jiang Heshui was left alone. Although he drank to himself, he watched more than half of the bottle of two pots go. At this time, Yang Weihua came over and put a plate of "slipping three" on the dining table, "I gave this one." Drinking with my lame brother is a pleasure. ”

"Don't!" Jiang Heshui lit up his palms forward, "I invite you today." However, if you want to drink with me, you have to follow the rules. ”

"Isn't it just three glasses first?" Yang Weihua picked up the small half bottle of wine, "Oh, brother, you're too fierce, aren't you?" After speaking, he immediately went to the counter to get a bottle of two pots.

Jiang Heshui looked at him and drank three cups in a row, "Okay, enough for you." As he spoke, he poured him another full glass, "Come, let's go one officially." The two clinked glasses and drank them all.

Yang Weihua wiped his mouth, "Brother, I really envy you." When I was laid off, I was completely numb, and I couldn't see any hope at all—it was like the sky was about to fall, and I even had the heart to die. ”

"Aren't you doing well now?"

The two of them chatted a lot of back and forth. On the upswing, Yang Weihua thought of the woman again: "Brother, the little girl I told you about next night is really beautiful, can make you not think about tea and dinner, believe it, just like the 'Ziwei girl' in the TV series." ”

"You kid, it's just a matter of food and clothing. Aren't you bosses all good at this?" Jiang Heshui was obviously a little unfavorable when he spoke.

Yang Weihua smiled "hehe", with a disapproving look: "You two are one after the other, what else do I have to say?"

Jiang Heshui glared at Yang Weihua, "Nonsense." It's hard to say, but don't let your sister-in-law hear it. ”

"No one will believe you when you hear it," said a woman's voice. The two fools raised their faces at the same time, completely unaware of when Su Chunyan was standing aside. She was dressed in a light blue dress, and she was in her early forties, but she was only in her thirties, and she didn't have the slightest suspicion of being cute.

"Oh, mom, when did my sister-in-law come?" Yang Weihua was particularly excited, and quickly stood up: "Sit, sit down and have a drink together?" As he spoke, his two eyes lost no time in looking at the bottomless ditch on Su Chunyan's chest.

Su Chunyan nodded and smiled at Yang Weihua, then looked at the plague of the river and said, "What's the matter? "She always likes to say the opposite, sharp teeth, straightforward and fast-talking, everyone who knows her knows. She simply sat down next to him.

Jiang Heshui glanced at her sideways, "Why are you here to make a fuss? Why don't you stay at home?" He remembered his son who was preparing for the college entrance examination - Jiang Huaijun - this kid was definitely guarding the computer and was fascinated by it for a while.

The two of them seemed to be teasing. Yang Weihua was full of interest with the strength of the wine, and took a wine glass to fill Su Chunyan with ....... Su Chunyan usually doesn't drink much, but once she drinks it, she will definitely not lose to any old man.

Su Chunyan drank three cups in a row, and then threw a few peanuts into her mouth with her white and tender hands, "I said, are you really worried about what you are doing in the future?

"Isn't that what? My brother, you are really, and you are not laid off, what a beautiful thing? Ordinary people can't fix it for eight lifetimes, and they always feel unhappy. Yang Weihua looked at the rivers and rivers, "My brother told me." Isn't that all a good thing? ”

Yang Weihua smiled innocently. Jiang Heshui calmly raised his wine glass, "Okay, maybe it's a good day today? ”

"Today is a good day! Sister-in-law, let's have a good drink today. Yang Weihua saw that Su Chunyan just ordered peanuts, and he didn't move his chopsticks: "Oh, I remember, my brother has always been the most proud of my smoked chicken here." You two wait. As he spoke, he insisted on going to the kitchen.

Jiang Heshui saw Yang Weihua enter the kitchen, and then looked at Su Chunyan with a straight face, and his eyes slid to her chest: "Old lady, how old are you? ”

Su Chunyan snorted and didn't mind: "The old lady is naturally beautiful. If I don't think I'm serious, I'll go to 'Afghanistan' and change it. The girls there usually only show their eyes, and they cover them tightly. ”

Jiang Heshui also "hummed", "I don't know." ”

"False seriousness. Su Chunyan said again.

Jiang Heshui was speechless by her, so she simply turned her face to the side and ignored her.

It's been almost 20 years, and that's how the two of them have come all the way. Jokes are jokes, and it's better not to be angry than anything. Su Chunyan knows her own man's temperament, and she often loves him with her heart.

"I'm kidding you. Su Chunyan patted his thin back with her hand, "Hurry up and put on your clothes, don't catch a cold." ”

The river didn't seem to hear anything. No wonder some people often say in front of him that he suffers from aesthetic fatigue, and he will not cherish such a good wife.

"Look at your careful eyes," Su Chunyan got up to get the T-shirt on the cardboard box. At this time, the carton made two "dong dong" sounds, followed by two more clicks. "What's in this carton?" Su Chunyan opened the lid of the carton curiously, "Oh my mother!" The terrifying scene made her suddenly lose her soul and take several steps backwards.

Jiang Heshui was also stunned by her scream, "What's the matter?

Su Chunyan's face was full of horror and pointed to the cardboard box with her finger.

Jiang Heshui took a step forward and opened the half-open carton completely, and couldn't help but be stunned again. When he confirmed that there was a fresh baby lying in the cardboard box, his heart calmed down and he gradually became happy: "My mother, where is this child?"

All the people gathered around and talked about it. Yang Weihua was the last to come, and after putting a plate of torn smoked chicken on the table, he was horrified when he saw this situation. He remembered and looked at the river, "This must have been left by that woman!"

Unfortunately, the child was born with a cleft lip and palate. The little one seems to have just woken up, and his two big eyes are clear and bright.

Jiang Heshui didn't say a word, took out a thick brown paper envelope from the cardboard box, opened it and saw a dozen thick hundred-dollar bills, estimated to be several thousand yuan, and a page of note, which read:

Good Samaritan, thank you for adopting this child. Her birthday is May 2, 2004. Give her a name, and if I have the opportunity in the future, I will repay her. The final payment is: a bad woman.

Jiang Heshui handed the note to Yang Weihua, "This is the Ziwei girl who fascinated you, take a look?"

Yang Weihua looked at the child after reading the letterhead, "This child's face is really good, but it's a pity that he is an open-minded person." ”

"If there was no problem, maybe someone would have taken it away a long time ago, where would it be your turn?" Jiang Heshui said and stuffed the envelope into Yang Weihua's hand, "Hurry up and take the child back and take care of it." In the future, that woman will be able to repay you. "Pull it down!" Yang Weihua immediately became anxious, "I can't even support myself now, how can I have any conditions? Hey, aren't you worried about having nothing to do? I think it's good for you to keep it?" After speaking, he stuffed the envelope into the river water.

After all, this is a matter of human life. Jiang Heshui looked at Yang Weihua, and only then did he really feel the seriousness of the situation, and the wine he had drunk before was suddenly gone. He wrinkled his face and smacked his lips, not knowing what to do, and finally set his eyes on Su Chunyan.

Su Chunyan, who was already frightened, was extremely flustered, she knew how high the cost of raising a child should be now, not to mention that her son was in the age of breaking the bill. So, she tried to persuade Yang Weihua, hoping that he could take the abandoned baby home.

No matter what Su Chunyan says, Yang Weihua just can't get in the oil and salt.

"I see, let's call the police, right?" Yang Weihua took out his mobile phone.

"You call a fart policeman!" Jiang Heshui stopped him almost angrily, "If you don't raise it, you think no one will raise it?" He glared at him fiercely, and then handed the envelope to Su Chunyan.

Jiang Heshui got dressed and gently took the child out of the cardboard box. The little guy was wearing a thin white velvet gown, and his lower body was wrapped in bloated "diapers", which was clean and had a strong frankincense. "Who else of you would like to adopt this child?" he asked the others.

A few people who seemed to be coming over shook their heads. Jiang Heshui had no choice but to walk in front of Su Chunyan, and said with a smile on his face: "Wife, it seems that this kind-hearted person wants you to do it?"

Su Chunyan looked sad, looking at him with a cold body and mind. No one knew him better than she did: he was now full of old man, and he made decisions that no one could disobey. Laughter is his "first salute". At this time, if he is asked to choose between himself and the child, he will definitely leave without hesitation. She didn't want to irritate him, let alone get along with herself. "What will you do in the future?" she reluctantly took the child.

Jiang Heshui's heart was steady, "Hey, you don't have to worry about this." If we have money, we will be rich, and if we have no money, we will be poor. Besides, there are our dad and our mom. He suddenly remembered one more thing: "Hey, Xiaolinzi and Shujun have never had children, maybe they can take over?"

Listening to Jiang Heshui's words, Su Chunyan seemed to see a glimmer of hope. But then he thought about it, "Xiao Lin is nothing, it's just that Shujun is too strong to be likely?" Why don't you call the two of them?"

"What time is it?" Jiang Heshui looked at the electronic clock on the wall, "It's nine o'clock, let's take it back first." After he finished speaking, he hurriedly took out his wallet, "Pay the bill!"

Yang Weihualeng does not accept money from rivers and rivers.

Jiang Heshui threw a fifty-yuan bill into the counter, "That's all there is to it." Who's going to pack up the rest and send it to me, I haven't eaten yet. Oh, I'll have to buy something for the kid if you send your sister-in-law again. ”

Yang Weihua agreed one by one, "What does this kid say, he has something to do with me, and if there is anything in the future, just squeak." ”

Jiang Heshui walked in front of Su Chunyan, "Wife, you go back first." I'm going to buy something for the kids. ”

Su Chunyan's mouth, which was usually idle, was gone at this time. She handed the envelope brought by the child to Jiang Heshui, "Don't buy too bad milk." ”

"Uh-huh," Jiang Heshui nodded and left first.

As soon as Jiang Heshui walked out of the "little family jade", his heart began to churn. "What will you raise in the future?" Su Chunyan's words went straight into his heart. Because, he also has a little-known secret. If this "secret" has affected his normal life, then this little guy is likely to change the rest of his life......
