Chapter 002: Base Area
Directly in front of Yanzhou Railway Station is a post office, and below the post office building is a row of shops, guest houses and restaurants. There is a storefront, there is no signboard, just a stool standing against the door, leaning on the stool stands a blanket (gebei cardboard), on which is written "station lost and found" next to a loudspeaker, constantly broadcasting about the station prohibition regulations, as well as anti-theft and anti-theft, public security management, crackdown on pornography, gambling and drugs and other slogans.
At this time, there was a slightly round fat man standing at the door of this façade, wiping his sweat profusely, and asking for help from the people in the façade: "Female comrades, comrades, it's good, help Ne find it carefully, Ne bag is lost, the canvas is gray, Ne made it himself, there is a letter of introduction in it, and there are a lot of materials, don't be angry about the money and food stamps inside, just a letter of introduction, please comrade." ”
A woman's voice came from inside the façade: "Look at what your comrade said, it seems that they are deliberately hiding from you, carrying (hiding) your bag, don't be grinning when you return the money and food stamps, are you that kind of person?"
When the fat man heard this, he felt that he had lost his words, and hurriedly said: "Lesbian, you are talking wrong, you are saying the wrong thing, you can help Ne Xun again, otherwise you will have to sleep on the road at night." ”
When the woman inside heard this, she suppressed the impetuosity in her heart and said: "You just lost your bag, so you came to look for something, why do you find it for you? You blocked the door again, someone really found your bag, and wanted to hand it over to the public, looking at you waiting here, who would dare to hand it over? I'm afraid that you will wronged people again!"
The fat man listened to it, felt that it was this reason, and muttered "yes" in his mouth, but he still didn't mean to go out, at this moment, a small flat head came over, and shouted at the inside of the façade: "Sister Meizi, I picked up a bag, handed over the father, and while talking through the fat man, I threw it directly from the top of the fat man's head to the inside of the façade." ”
The fat man listened to the sound, and looked at the bag thrown by Xiao Pingtou, it was his gray canvas bag, and hurriedly shouted at the storefront: "It's Ne's bag, it's Ne's bag, that's Ne's bag." ”
The woman inside the façade immediately handed the bag to the fat man, leaned over and looked at the little flat head outside and shouted, "Xiao Chen, you do good deeds without leaving a name?"
Xiao Chen didn't look back, just stretched out his hand, beckoned behind his back, and shouted: "It's Lei Feng, don't be named." As he spoke, he turned a corner and went to find his good buddy.
At this time, Jiajie was holding a bag of steamed buns, a bundle of shallots and a bottle of burning knives, waiting for Xiaochen at the mouth of an alley, watching Xiaochen come over, beckoning, waiting for Xiaochen to arrive, and walking together into the alley, in this alley, there are two people's bases, a heating ditch without a manhole cover. At this moment, a person's voice sounded from behind: "Two brothers wait, two little brothers wait." Jiajie and Xiaochen stopped at the same time, looked back vigilantly and saw that it was a slightly chubby man, trotting over.
Xiao Chen stood forward for a moment, blocked Li Jiajie's figure, and asked the man: "What are you shouting about?"
The fat man gasped and said, "Little brother, don't get me wrong, ...... As he spoke, he lifted the gray canvas bag in his hand, showed it and continued: "Thank you, you found the bag for you."...... ”
Xiao Chen turned his head and glanced at Jiajie, and couldn't help but smile in his heart, and then Xiao Chen said: "Oh, you are the lost owner?
The man hurriedly said excitedly: "Lose it, lose it, there are a few pieces of change and a few taels of food stamps in it, it's not in the way, but there is an extra handkerchief." As he spoke, he took out the handkerchief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, looked at the steamed buns and shallots that Jiajie was holding in his hand, and hurriedly said, "Why are the two little brothers still eating?" As he spoke, he didn't care whether Xiao Chen agreed or not, he grabbed Xiao Chen's hand, his hand was quite strong, Xiao Chen struggled for a while and didn't break away, so he had to helplessly beckon Jiajie to go together.
The fat man looked at the shop fronts on both sides of the train station, and said to himself: "It's a big city, it's more than nine o'clock, and it's still bright, which is different from the county." As he spoke, he found a restaurant, walked in, forcibly pressed Xiaochen on the stool, beckoned Jiajie to sit down as well, ran to the counter by himself, took out food stamps and money and ordered food.
After a while, the man sat back with two cold dishes in his hand and a bottle of wine, and said to Jiajie and Xiaochen: "What are the surnames of the two little brothers?"
Jiajie said: "Call Li Jiajie." ”
Xiao Chen continued: "My name is Liu Yichen."
The fat man smiled and said: "Listening to the names of the two little brothers, they are very noble, they are called Feng Siliu, born in four or six years, so Daddy and Mother gave this name, the older two little brothers are not many years old, and they will be an old post for you." ”
Feng Siliu unscrewed the wine as he spoke, filled it for the two of them, and then drank with the two of them, and said: "Today, an old gang thanks to the two little brothers, I lost you to find Ne's bag, if it weren't for you, Ne Ke would have finished begging, the letter of introduction was gone, and it was a trivial matter to not be able to live in a guest house. ”
Li Jiajie and Liu Yichen nodded when they heard this, indicating that they should do it, and then Li Jiajie asked, "Feng Gang, what are you doing, what are you doing in Yanzhou?"
Feng Siliu listened and said: "Oh, Ne is from Yunyi, the clerk of the County Reform Commission, there was originally a small private coal kiln in Nemen County, something happened to the coal boss, and the people ran away, and the county was ready to take over the small coal kiln and make it a local mine to expand and expand, so I sent Ne to the Yanzhou Mining Bureau, that machine...... Locomotive factory, go there to buy equipment. ”
At this time, the owner of the restaurant served a few plates of hot dishes ordered by Feng Siliu, Feng Siliu hurriedly picked up the chopsticks and said to the two: "Eat, eat, you're welcome." "I respect Li Jiajie and the two of them to eat.
Li Jiajie looked at Feng Siliu's figure, understood that Feng Siliu was a poor fat eater, and he was not polite, and beckoned the hotel owner to serve a bowl of yellow sauce, dip it in the shallots he brought and Xiaochen to eat and drink. This Feng Siliu is a clerk, he is familiar with it, and his mouth is very broken, he has never stopped, a few glasses of wine have been eaten, and he began to coil up with Li Jiajie and Liu Yichen brothers, and made friends, and asked if the two had a relationship with the locomotive factory of the Mining Bureau, and it was convenient for him to go there to do things.
Li Jiajie and Liu Yichen glanced at each other, and smiled Feng Siliu looked away, the two of them were homeless and unemployed vagrants, living in a heating ditch, how could they have the ability to find a relationship with Feng Siliu, and said embarrassedly that he couldn't help him, and Feng Siliu said politely with a lot of energy.
The three people who ate this meal had a full stomach, and finally Feng Siliu took out his notebook, tore off a page, wrote his contact information and handed it to Li Jiajie, and said slightly drunk: "Two little brothers, Yanzhou is not familiar with you, today the two of you are kind to Ne, wait for you to go to Yunyi, contact Lao Gang, Lao Gang will entertain you well." As he spoke, he stuffed the note into Liu Yichen's hand, and made a gesture to make a phone call.
Full of wine and food, Feng Siliu went to the guest house to rest, and said goodbye to Li Jiajie and the others, Liu Yichen looked at the note in his hand, and said: "If you want this thing to be useful." As he spoke, he was about to throw it away, but Li Jiajie hurriedly stopped him, took the note over and said, "Keep it, I'm in a hurry to rub my buttocks." Then he put the note in his pocket, and the two of them turned into the alley again, and went to find their base to rest.
In April, Yanbei is still slightly cold, the wellhead of the heating ditch is steaming, but after going down, it is hot and dry, this base is cleaned up by Li Jiajie, a piece of terrain that the street lamp can shake, is covered by Li Jiajie on the oilcloth of the kang mat, two military coats are the cover of the two of them, Li Jiajie and Liu Yichen are leaning against the wall of the heating pipe stacked with styrofoam, chatting, Liu Yichen asked: "Jiajie, are you sure you want to go back to the mine to have a look?"
Li Jiajie said: "I've been playing together for more than ten years, and Ergedan is married, so we can't go back?"
Liu Yichen complained: "You have someone in your heart, and people treat us as a begging, I'm afraid that you are a hot face and a cold ass." ”
Li Jiajie didn't listen to Liu Yichen's complaints, pointed to the inside of the heating ditch, and said, "You go inside, how much money can we save these days?"
Liu Yichen listened, got up and walked to the heating ditch, a dark place! After a while, he walked out again, with half a brick in his hand and a small bag of clinker, and handed the small bag to Li Jiajie, understanding what Li Jiajie was going to do, and then said: "I didn't take the fold, this is the oil and water for half a month, aren't you going to buy the small courtyard of the 'vinegar jar'? Seeing that the money is almost gone, are you willing to do it?"
Li Jiajie listened, didn't squeak, counted the money, and then took out the night's harvest from his trouser pocket, divided half of it, stuffed it into the clinker bag, put it in his trouser pocket, and said to Liu Yichen: "Ming'er saved these earlier, we have a place to live, and we can always live in the heating ditch? ”
Liu Yichen listened, came to his senses, and couldn't help but let out a long howl, venting his depression for more than half a month, and then patted Li Jiajie's shoulder and said: "I told you a long time ago, if you keep the money for use, you have to spend it, you finally realized today, can you call a girl to Ne?"
Li Jiajie shook the ticket in his hand and said: "I can only spend this, tomorrow morning, let's dress up and pretend to be a person, if you think it is appropriate, you will sell your own blood and call a girl." ”
Liu Yichen listened, his eyes widened, and a pair of big hands reached into Li Jiajie's waist, and while teasing, he scratched Li Jiajie's waist and said: "Good boy, brother for many years, for the sake of a girl, you let Lao Tzu sell blood? Sell blood! Lao Tzu asked you to let Lao Tzu sell blood!"
Li Jiajie couldn't help but itch, laughed, tears of laughter flowed out, and began to fight back, this pair of brothers and sisters in the narrow heating ditch, scuffling and playing.......
