Guo Yongkun is gone.

I couldn't see that I was happy and angry, and I didn't say a word for the time being.

"My third brother left like this?" Guo Xiaomei stood on the small balcony, looking at the familiar back and disappearing without looking back, by the dim light downstairs, and still didn't come back to her senses.

In an instant, there was some loss, and some joy.

She knew that the third brother was angry, but with his character, even so, he should take himself away strongly.

But he didn't, why?

Will it be a certain degree of acquiescence to my relationship with Zhang Xiaoyong, after all, we have ...... Yes, most likely, he found that things could not be changed, so he could only force himself to accept it, but he was still angry in his heart.

Well, this one is understandable.

The more Guo Xiaomei thought about it, the more she looked sideways at the person next to her excitedly.

"Zhang Xiaoyong, you have to work hard in the future, my family is basically my third brother now, if you want to get his real approval, it's not that simple, you know his ability. ”

"Well, I know. Zhang Xiaoyong nodded vigorously.

He knows very well that he may not reach the height of that man in his life, but at least, he wants to make the other party look up to him.

I don't bother to talk to him like I did just now, and I don't bother to look at him squarely.

He wasn't angry either.

If he was the man, his own sister who was so noble, was ...... If a second-rate son gets his hands on it, his attitude may be even worse.

The man was already very self-controlled, and the cold gaze he had when he first saw the man...... He even thought that the other party would hit him.

......

Guo Yongkun did not stay overnight in Linshui County, his mood was really not beautiful, and he was destined to not be able to sleep, so he drove alone, walked at night, and returned to Hedong.

It was already past eleven o'clock in the evening when she got home, and Li Xiumei heard the voice, got up and opened the door with her jacket on.

"Didn't it mean that I was going back, why did I go back again, how unsafe it is to walk at night?" she said, standing under the edge of the door, looking into the courtyard.

In the afternoon, after Guo Yongkun found Guo Xiaomei's residence, he found that there was no one inside, so he went downstairs to find a place to call back.

Guo Yongkun turned off the headlights and stepped out of the cab. Li Xiumei waited for a long time, and after finding that there was no movement in the car, she was not only surprised but asked, "What about Xiaojuan?"

She thought her little daughter had gone back with her.

"She still has some things on hand, and she has to come back in two days, just in time to come back for the New Year. ”

Guo Yongkun didn't tell his mother the truth, because he had other plans in his heart, it depends on the outcome, if it is a bad result, then Guo Xiaomei's relationship does not need to tell his mother.

That would only make her sad.

"It's so busy. Li Xiumei muttered to herself.

Nothing was said all night.

The next morning, after having breakfast at home, Guo Yongkun drove to Deyi Village, the ghost brother's house.

"Yo, rare guest, you haven't been to me in a while. It's still so early, nothing will happen, right?"

The ghost brother is playing Tai Chi in the courtyard, wearing a white Tang costume, but he also looks good.

"You know how to maintain health, why don't you find a daughter-in-law?"

Guo Yongkun is quite puzzled about this, because Brother Ghost is not young, and he will be running for four years in a few years, and he has not seen a daughter-in-law, let alone a child.

"How do you know I didn't look for it?"

"......" Guo Yongkun suddenly realized, it may not be nothing, but he has never seen it, and he can't tell where the golden house is hidden.

But why are you hiding so well, and no one is robbing you.

"Get down to business. Guo Yongkun changed the subject, waved his hand into the room, and motioned for him to come in and talk.

"The sky is falling, are you so serious?" the ghost brother muttered, but still followed.

The two of them sat at the square table in the hall, and when a subordinate brought tea, they withdrew.

"Help me look up someone. ”

"Oh, who?" Brother Ghost thought to himself, which one didn't hit Tai Sui's head with long eyes, this guy only needs to find himself to check people, and the other party will keep no good fruit to eat.

"His name is Zhang Xiaoyong, from Linshui County, and he makes sand and gravel ......"

"Wait, wait!" Brother Ghost waved his hand to interrupt him, and said in surprise: "Linshui County?

"Figure it out for yourself, this guy should be a bit famous in the Tao. ”

If you don't have a bit of prestige, it will definitely be difficult to start a sand and gravel business, relying on Guo Xiaomei's money alone is useless, and some businesses have to rely on fists.

“......”

Brother Ghost smiled bitterly, "I said master, you said it easily." ”

"What's the matter, dignified ghost brother, Hedong carries the handle, and he doesn't have any ability at all?"

"You provoke me, too. Brother Ghost rolled his eyes, "Say, what's wrong with this person, how can people from a small county still provoke you?"

"He's my sister!"

The ghost brother suddenly remembered that the other party's sister was just an errand boy in Linshui County. He glanced up at Guo Yongkun...... I'm going, something big has happened, and I dare to give it.

He instantly retracted his smile.

Because he understands the other person's heart very well, his family is more important to him than anything else.

This Zhang Xiaoyong, this time he can play Dafa.

"I'll arrange it right away. ”

"Try to ask him all about his situation, including his social background, family background, how he behaves, and so on. ”

"Good. ”

"Zhang Xiaoyong is currently in the sand and gravel business, and he has a relationship with a certain sand collector on our side. Guo Yongkun looked at him and suggested: "You can start from this aspect, there should be only so many people who do this business, since they have business dealings, they probably know some about Zhang Xiaoyong." In addition, arrange a group of people to go to Linshui to inquire. ”

"Okay, no problem. Brother Ghost nodded.

......

It was evening.

The moon and stars gradually revealed their figures, and the ghost brother asked people to go to the restaurant to order a table of dishes, which had just been set up on the table in the hall.

There was the roar of the engine outside the door, and the time was perfect.

As he poured the wine, the people from outside walked in.

"Come on, let's eat and talk. ”

Guo Yongkun didn't lift chopsticks, and after drinking a glass of wine, he looked sideways at him.

"This Zhang Xiaoyong...... If you don't believe it, the popularity and reputation are quite good. ”

"Oh?" Guo Yongkun motioned for him to continue.

"His mother died in childbirth when he gave birth to him, and his father didn't survive a few years, when he was only twelve or thirteen years old, and some families in the same village saw him as pitiful, so he raised him as half a son, so it was considered a big pull.

"Because he has no culture and no technology, when he was sixteen or seventeen years old, he went to the society to do odd jobs, and he was not afraid of hardship, what he did, and most of the money he earned was given to the family who took care of him.

"What really made him go to the road was because of one thing, the woman of that family...... That is, his adoptive mother, who has an eye disease, may be blind if she does not have surgery, and surgery requires a lot of money. So he borrowed usury.

"And then, of course, I can't afford to pay it back. However, he has the advantage of being able to fight, which is favored by the person who lent him money, so he asked him to do things for himself.

"You can think of the next thing, collecting accounts everywhere and fighting everywhere. It's been mixed like this for a few years, no, his eldest brother was arrested last year, and he lost his source of income, just as the sand and gravel business over there in the water began to become popular, he probably saw a business opportunity, so he gathered a group of brothers and smashed a small sand field with his fists, and the business just started to do. ”

Brother Ghost paused when he said this, took a sip of wine, and continued, "I also inquired about this side of the road, this guy fights very fiercely, the kind that doesn't want to die, many local people encourage him, but he is quite particular about doing things, and the relationship between all aspects is good." ”

Guo Yongkun frowned slightly after listening, just looking at Zhang Xiaoyong's experience when he was a child, his heart is not bad, and he can even be said to be very good.

But when I grew up, I fought fiercely and didn't want to die...... Isn't this an outlaw?

To tell the truth, this kind of person, he doesn't believe how much love and righteousness are valued.

People change.

In this way, it is still impossible to judge whether he is sincere to Guo Xiaomei.

If a person can't even live without his life, what can't he do?

"Do you think this person is reliable?" asked Guo Yongkun.

He naturally doesn't know as much about the things on the road as the ghost brother.

"What do you mean, to be a brother-in-law?" Brother Ghost glared: "Of course it's not reliable! Who wants to marry his sister to this kind of person, I don't know when he will die." ”

He obviously misunderstood what he meant, but Guo Yongkun didn't bother to ask. Yes or no, he intends to make the final confirmation.

"Who did he work with, did you find out?"

"Zhou Lao Liu. The largest sandmonger in the province. ”

After Guo Yongkun sighed, he asked, "If I want him to do a favor......

"A matter of words. "Ghost Brother Yun said lightly.

This guy is really carrying the trick, and he doesn't know how many dirty things he has done behind his back, the biggest sand boss in the province, you can do it in one sentence? Guo Yongkun thought to himself.

......

In the early morning, the white of the fish belly on the horizon gradually dispelled the darkness, and slowly, the fiery red glow began to diffuse.

In the ears, the river is surging, the morning glow reflects the red of the river, and there are early fishermen with small boats, who are taking nets and checking the harvest for the night.

"It's so beautiful!" On the side of the iron railing of the steamer, Guo Xiaomei looked at the scene of water and sky, and couldn't help but admire.

There was suddenly an extra coat on her shoulders, which wrapped her tightly and dissipated the chill brought by the cold river wind.

"Let's go inside, it's too cold outside, don't catch a cold. ”

"You go in, I'll look at it for a while, you see you gave me all the clothes, hurry up and go in, I'll buy you a down jacket for the New Year." ”

"No, this time I came here to collect the account, and when the account is received, there will be money. By the way, what do you want, I'll give you a New Year's gift. Zhang Xiaoyong said with a smile.

"I want ......" Guo Xiaomei rolled her eyes stiffly, she wanted a lot of things.

She hadn't eaten anything delicious in a long time, bought new clothes, new shoes, and a new bag. However, thinking of the hardships of the man next to him to make money, he didn't say anything to his mouth.

He is different from the third brother.

Now that I think about it, the third brother is really powerful, and he can always make money quietly, but unfortunately, not everyone has the ability like him.

There is no mistake
