Chapter 18: The Chorus Trio
At this time, the New Year's bell is about to ring, and the sound of firecrackers in the streets and alleys is intensified and intensified. All kinds of fireworks, one after another, compete in the night sky of the city. On the empty road, three young people held hands and sang a loud military song: "One, two, three, four, like a song." Green barracks, green barracks taught me. The singing mountains shake the ground and move, and the flowers and water ...... happy when they sing", a very alternative picture, but it does not lose its sense of movement in this Chinese New Year's Eve night of the city.
When Li Tianchou woke up, it was already more than nine o'clock in the morning of the next day, and he couldn't help but secretly complain in his heart. For many years, it was the first time that I got up so late, and the golden body that I had cultivated as a soldier to go to bed early and get up early was broken all of a sudden. He shook his head in frustration, and seemed to be a little dizzy, it seemed that he had indeed drunk too much last night.
Recalling carefully, the three of them were very excited to stroll and sing last night with the strength of wine. I don't know how far I walked, but it seemed to be at the beach. was blown by the sea breeze, Weidong's wine strength came up, and people began to sway, so they vomited all the way along the street, and finally sat on the ground with weak legs, and couldn't stand up no matter how they flickered. I wanted to take a taxi back, but I couldn't, and the taxi driver saw three drunks running fast. had no choice but to take turns with Liang Hui to go back to the dormitory.
It can't be so bad next time, Li Tianchou warned himself. Li Tianchou was suddenly stunned, he remembered that when he came back last night, he was so sleepy that he couldn't care about anything, so he fell asleep and didn't even seem to take off his shoes. Why is there only a shirt and underpants left? Who helped me take off my coat? At this point he looked around the dormitory, and it was very neat and tidy. The mess of last night is long gone. Sandou and Xiaowen should have gone to work a long time ago.
At this time, Li Tianchou saw a large rice bowl on the table, which seemed to have something inside, and when he opened it, it was a bowl full of dumplings. There was also a note next to the bowl, which read: "Brother Tianqiu, my sister-in-law and I have long wanted to invite you to spend the Chinese New Year's Eve together, and everyone eats dumplings together, but we haven't seen you for two days." Yesterday I came back from the hospital and found your dorm door open...... Hey, you guys don't pay attention to it at night...... Hee-hee. The dumplings were left for you by your sister-in-law, so you can heat them up yourself. Li Tianchou's face burned all of a sudden, could it be that they helped me take off my coat, it was really embarrassing.
Don't think about it anymore, after Li Tianchou freshed up a little, scalded the dumplings with boiling water, and ate them with gusto, the taste was really good. He immediately changed his uniform and hurried downstairs. There are two things that need to be done as soon as possible, one is to cancel the leave immediately, seeing that there are not enough people, I am really embarrassed to be inexplicably dangling for two days;
The captain looks even more depressed than the previous two days, probably because of Andy's family. Although he had already learned the news of Li Tianchou's return from other people's mouths, the captain was still a little surprised when he saw the real person, "Tianchou, you're back." Are you okay?" Li Tianchou knew why the captain was surprised, and didn't want to explain more, so he replied vaguely: "There should be nothing wrong." Happy New Year, Captain!"
"Ahh Happy New Year. The captain seemed to be relieved. I had to encourage Li Tianchou again. and told Li Tianchou that he was not in a hurry to cancel the vacation, and that he could rest for another day or two. But Li Tianchou didn't do it, insisted on scheduling shifts, and after tossing for a long time, the captain couldn't help it, so he had to schedule a night shift.
Taking advantage of the time during the day, Li Tianchou decided to go to the hospital immediately to see Daqi. As soon as I walked downstairs to the office building, I heard the captain shouting: "Tianchou, don't go, there is a call to find you." "Li Tianchou felt strange, he didn't know anyone else in SZ except for his fellow countrymen and colleagues, who would call me?
"Happy New Year, oh my God!" Xiao Yadong's loud voice came from the other end of the phone.
"It's Brother Xiao, Happy New Year to Brother Xiao!" Li Tianchou never thought that on the first day of the Lunar New Year, Xiao Yadong would call him.
"How was the thirty nights?" Xiao Yadong asked.
"Very good, thank you, Brother Xiao. Li Tianchou replied.
"There's nothing else to do with you, I remember I said that I would treat you to a good drink when I have time, how about it, do you have time on the third day of the Lunar New Year?" Xiao Yadong did not forget what he said a few days ago.
"Well, you're too polite. Now the company is short of people, all of them are temporary shifts, and I don't know if I am free in the third year of junior high school. Li Tianchou told the truth.
"Oh, that's it. It doesn't matter, I'll see it on the third day of junior high school, if you have time, you can come, brother, I sincerely invite you. Xiao Yadong is very simple.
"Okay, thank you, Brother Xiao. After hanging up the phone, Li Tianchou found that the captain was looking at him with suspicious eyes, he was even more lazy to explain, just thanked him and walked out of the office.
Daqi recovered very well, but unfortunately although his left hand was connected, he basically lost his function. But his whole mental state is very good, which Wang Juan has contributed to. After a few words of greeting, Li Tianchou said with a little twist: "Sister-in-law, thank you so much, I ...... yesterday"
"Hey, thank you, didn't you help us much? However, I didn't say you. In the winter, a few old men left the door open and didn't cover the quilt, just lying down with their clothes together, beware of catching a cold and hurting their bodies. Wang Juan is very generous and generous.
"I did drink too much yesterday, I'll pay attention. Also, sister-in-law, thank you for the dumplings, they are delicious. Li Tianchou nodded embarrassedly.
"If you like to eat it, my sister-in-law will often wrap it for you in the future. Wang Juan was very happy.
"That Sandou died of fun, I don't know if he fell from the bed, or if he was lying on the ground, his face was bruised, and he slept so dead, his saliva was dripping. Cui Minmin said with a smile.
"Ah, why is this guy drunk like this?" Li Tianchou also laughed dumbly.
When it was lunch time, Wang Juan said that this time she didn't let Li Tianchou go, and she had to eat together. couldn't resist Daqi's family, so Li Tianchou had no choice but to stay. Lunch is also simple, oily egg noodles, Wang Juan prepared it in the morning, brought a big box, Cui Minmin took a few convenient boxes, everyone shared it, and it was delicious to eat.
"Tianchou, I'll discuss something with you. Daqi suddenly swallowed.
"If you have anything, you can say anything, and be polite to me. Li Tianchou wiped his mouth.
"That's the case, look at my situation, I'm afraid that after a while, your sister-in-law won't be able to go back. I mean, you and Vice Captain Wu Jianguo are comrades-in-arms, can you ask him to help find something to do. Daqi went around for a long time to explain the meaning.
"It's a good thing, it's good that my sister-in-law can stay and take care of you. Cheng, as soon as Jianguo comes back, I will tell him and let him take it to heart. However, sometimes I can't say what this person entrusts, so I think I have to prepare with both hands. Li Tianchou is not worried that Wu Jianguo will not help, but the actual situation is there, there are still many sequelae behind the murder, Andy's matter has not been solved, Wu Jianguo is probably busy enough for him to come back,
In fact, after this incident, Li Tianchou felt that the property company had changed a lot in the atmosphere, and in Andy's matter, the company's attitude was vague, either pushing or delaying, and he couldn't even see the sincerity of talking about things, which was more or less heartbreaking. Even Captain Hao responded positively from the beginning to later became very negative, hiding if he could. Manager Zhu of the property company has shown his face twice so far, and he has never seen anyone again. Many colleagues worked overtime and did not get anything in return, even if it was the approval of the owner or the verbal recognition of the company, Mao did not have it. It can be seen that everyone is in a low mood.
"Prepare with both hands, Tianchou, do you have any other way?" Daqi glared.
"We are migrant workers, how can we have any way. However, I just don't think I can hang myself from a tree, on the one hand, let Wu Jianguo help inquire, and on the other hand, we will look for it ourselves. Li Tianchou explained.
"Brother Tianchou is right. I'm a person who can endure hardships, and I can do any dirty work, and I even set up a wonton stall in our township. Please help me inquire. Wang Juan couldn't stop nodding.
"Hey, sister-in-law, you're welcome, this is a gesture for me. Li Tianchou suddenly remembered the lively farmers' market at the back door of the community, where many small traders and vendors without fixed stalls were fighting guerrilla battles between the market gate and the back door of the community. In the past, the vendors often blocked the door in order to occupy a position, so the relationship between the community security guards and these people was very tense, and everyone had a headache when it was their turn to be on duty at the back door.
But Li Tianchou is different, he is very familiar with the other party, and as long as he is on duty, it is rare for the door to be blocked, and his colleagues are amazed. There are dozens of vendors across the road in the big place, and business is booming. It doesn't necessarily take much capital, you can do it with a cart and a stall at will. He decided to wait for someone to come out of the stall in two days to learn from the experience.
