Chapter 5: Secrets
"Hey. ”
He Chuan answered the phone.
"I called you before, why didn't you answer, what are you doing?" a male voice rang on the phone.
"Just got home. ”
"Aren't you all retired, why are you going back so late? ”
"There was a case where the fat man asked me to go over and help take a look. ”
"Is it dangerous?"
"It's fine. ”
"I heard that there was another police accident in the next county, and a small trader stabbed him in the stomach and his intestines flowed all over the ground...... You're all retired, just rest and leave those things alone. My father started babbling on the other end of the phone.
"Hmm. ”
"By the way, when are you coming back? I've raised a few chickens for you in the back, they're already very fat, and when you come back, I'll kill them and make up for you." ”
"Take a break and talk about it later. ”
"By the way, the girl I introduced to you last time, have you still been in touch?"
He Chuan remembered the WeChat that he hadn't opened for a long time, paused, and said, "I'm in contact." ”
The other end of the phone breathed a sigh of relief and said lightly: "Just contact her, I know that girl's family and she works at the local taxation bureau." The personality of the person is also good, graduated from a famous university, and like you, you are also working in Rongcheng, you are close to each other, you have nothing to ask out to play, enhance the relationship. ”
"Good. He Chuan responded.
The other end of the phone chattered a few more words, and then hung up.
Seeing that the screen of the mobile phone was dimmed, He Chuan was quiet for a few minutes before throwing it aside.
I don't know when it started, but my father started to call me every day.
The content of the conversation is nothing more than eating, pay attention to rest, and remember to add clothes when the weather is cold.
He became more and more careful in his speech, trying to play the role of a loving father in front of He Chuan.
After sitting on the sofa for a while, He Chuan got up and headed to the kitchen.
The kitchen is behind the toilet and is separated from the living room by a curtain, typical of an old house.
The whole house is very small, only thirty-six square meters, divided into one bedroom and one living room.
When Fat Wu came, he mentioned it several times and asked He Chuan to buy a house near him.
But He Chuan didn't.
After all, there are fewer and fewer things left by my mother.
He Chuan stood there for a while, then turned around and opened the refrigerator.
Since his retirement, he has lived a life of complete isolation.
Every day he was at home reading a book, or lying on the couch, staring at the ceiling in a daze.
In a flash, the whole day passed.
To do this, he bought a large pile of food and kept it at home.
Five packs of instant noodles, a total of four bags of twenty packs, as well as glutinous rice balls and quick-frozen dumplings, the refrigerator is full.
But now the fridge is empty.
I don't know when I finished eating dumplings and glutinous rice balls.
Half of the noodles are left, but the eggs and ham are gone.
Been at home for so long......
He Chuan slowly closed the refrigerator.
There are restaurants just outside the complex, the nearest one, less than a hundred meters away.
At this time, you should still be able to have dinner, after all, restaurants in Rongcheng usually open until late before closing.
But He Chuan didn't want to go down, he just didn't eat once, and he couldn't starve to death anyway.
He Chuan opened the refrigerator and prepared to take Pepsi.
But...... The last Pepsi in the fry, it's gone.
He Chuan maintained the action of opening the refrigerator and did not react for a long time.
He slowly closed the refrigerator, returned to the living room to pick up his phone, took off his gloves, and clicked on an APP.
I chose a delivery service.
There are several large supermarkets in the vicinity of Hochuan.
One street away from his house is Yonghui, and two blocks later is Wal-Mart.
Type in Pepsi, click search, and you'll see a bunch of businesses swiped out on the page.
He Chuan flipped through it and saw that there was a discounted Pepsi.
Pepsi, which costs two dollars in a convenience store, can now buy six for only ten yuan, which is not even two yuan.
There is also the kind of large bottle of Pepsi, with a bottle of Fanta or 7-Up, which only costs nine yuan nine, which is much more cost-effective than seven yuan a bottle downstairs.
After choosing Coke, He Chuan looked at other discounted products.
I've been at home for too long, and a lot of things have run out.
He Chuan added some fast food, then bought some hand sanitizer and toilet paper, and followed the prompts of the APP to receive a coupon.
After the discount, it will be fully reduced, and it will save at least 100 yuan.
These skills were all given to him by Wu Fatzi.
It's hard to imagine that before he got married, Wu Fatzi was also a sunny and handsome man with eight-pack abs.
Wu Fatzi's daughter-in-law is from Zhejiang.
A few years ago, when I came to Rongcheng to travel, I lost my wallet, and when I went to the police station to call the police, I happened to meet Wu Fatzi.
At that time, Wu Fatzi was not called Wu Fatzi, he had eight-pack abs, he was the fifth diamond king in the game, and everyone called him Brother Hao.
Wu Fatzi enthusiastically helped her find her wallet, and when she was still resting, he took her to visit most of the attractions in Rongcheng.
He even took the initiative to cook and invited her to taste his cooking skills at home.
Then the girl seemed to be opened to a new world, staying in Rongcheng and not leaving.
A year later, the two got married.
On the day of the wedding, He Chuan also went to participate.
He witnessed with his own eyes a girl who was nearly 1.7 meters tall and weighed only 98 pounds.
How did she become a Sichuan daughter-in-law of a full 140 pounds in just one year.
Even the wedding dress I bought, I almost couldn't wear it.
Since then, Wu Fatzi has become a standard Sichuan man.
I go to work every day, cook, and accompany my daughter-in-law.
The body shape has slowly evolved from eight-pack abs to Wu Fat.
After a meal, when the bill was finally paid, He Chuan spent more than 300 yuan.
After waiting for about twenty minutes, He Chuan's mobile phone rang.
"Sir, your things have arrived, please go to the door of Gate 17 and pick them up. ”
Gate 17 is the entrance of the community, which is less than 30 meters away from He Chuan's house.
He Chuan began to change his shoes.
La Jiao, who had already eaten cat food, came over, squatted at the door, and looked at He Chuan with her tail wagging her tail.
"I'll go down and I'll be back in a moment. ”
He Chuan stuffed the key into his pocket and pushed the door out.
In the big evening, it was very lively downstairs.
The mahjong parlor at the door has opened, and there are seven or eight tables sitting inside, and the mahjong sound of "let's da, da" can be heard upstairs.
He Chuan walked to Gate 17, and several middle-aged women were sitting on chairs at the door, chatting about the mountains.
A group of children were frantically scurrying at the gate, and a few riders in uniform were swiping their phones at the door.
He Chuan walked over and reported the tail number of his mobile phone: "Hello, I take something with the tail number 8743." ”
"It's you. After the middle-aged man matched the number, he took out four bags from under the battery car, as well as a whole box of Pepsi cans, a total of twenty-four listens, "You are right, look at the things right." ”
He Chuan looked at the order, then glanced at the plastic bag again, and nodded at the man.
After the man left, He Chuan looked at the several bags on the ground and tried to twist them with his hands.
It's heavy.
I don't know how the man managed to stuff so many things into that little electric donkey.
There were too many things, and He Chuan decided to carry them in two parts.
The first time you screwed three bags, the second time you screwed the remaining bag and the case of Coke.
As he wrung something, the voice of the woman next to him chatting floated over.
"Have you heard, it seems that a teacher has died recently, a woman. ”
"Tell me what happened?"
"I heard that it was a woman who was a junior for someone else, and she asked for money, but others couldn't afford it, so she was killed. ”
"Wouldn't it?
"Who knows, a certain sound has been pronounced, you see, it looks pretty good. ”
"Show me...... Yo, so young, looks like a college student. ”
"How embarrassing you say this kind of thing, and now it's been exposed, I heard that her parents are also teachers, how can she teach such a daughter. ”
"Who knows, what can't people do these days? Didn't there be a female nurse who split up the bodies of the doctors in their hospital, and some people broke the news on the Internet, saying that the woman couldn't pay off the gambling outside, and the man lent her money, but asked to have a relationship, and then ......"
He Chuan followed the voice of the speaker and looked over.
I happened to see an aunt, who was talking there spitting and flushing.
That look.
It's as if you've seen it with your own eyes.
