Chapter 23: Five Cents

"Li Hui! This is Jiang Ketu, how is it?" Wang Jinshan opened his voice and laughed, and all the people at the exit of the station turned their heads to look this way.

"Two hundred and five!" Li Hui scolded in her heart, she really wanted to tell the world that this person was not with me.

Li Hui nodded slightly embarrassed at Chongjiang Ketu, "My old Wang has some Alzheimer's disease now, don't be afraid!"

"Haha! Hello sister-in-law! Lao Wang used to have this temper when he was in the company, and we are all used to it!" Jiang Ketu smiled, and Li Hui found that his teeth were very white, unlike Wang Jinshan and Wei Bing, who had smoked for dozens of years, and their teeth were yellow.

It was still early, and the group came to the place where they stayed first, and unlike in the past, this time they stayed at a homestay, which was near Daming Lake.

"Wang stubborn, see how the room I booked for you is, are you still satisfied?" As soon as he entered the door, Wei Bing began to get nervous.

"Oh! Wei Bing! I haven't seen you for two years, your taste has improved greatly!" The room on the second floor, with a spacious big bed, antique decoration style, and a small balcony, a set of rattan tables and rattan chairs, placed under the sun umbrella, is a good place to chat.

Looking downstairs, in the huge courtyard, the wooden grape trellises are fruitful, and the creative courtyard design seems to make people feel like they are in a paradise.

"It's really nice here! It's the first time I've seen such a unique homestay!" Li Hui couldn't help but praise.

"Hahaha!" Wei Bing laughed: "Let's be honest with you, this is ordered by Lao Jiang!"

"I'll just say that you kid has such good taste! The luxury hotel I booked last time was high-end, but it was full of nouveau riche meaning, and it was in line with your identity! Hahaha!" Wang Jinshan's laughter shook the small balcony three times.

"Let's go down there and chat! I'll ask them to turn on the big fan, and we'll have dinner in the courtyard tonight!" Jiang Ketu proposed.

"Okay! All the other comrades-in-arms have arrived?" asked Wang Jinshan.

"Of the ten people in our class, six have already come, plus seven of you, and three more will be there in a while!"

Wang Jinshan and Li Hui went downstairs, the dining table had been set up in the courtyard, a huge round table was enough to seat more than 20 people, the courtyard was filled with the aroma of wormwood, Li Hui knew that this was a herbal mosquito coil for mosquito prevention.

The whole dining area is shrouded in white gauze, clean and refreshing, no mosquitoes and flies, transparent and bright, two large fans blow back and forth outside the gauze, bursts of coolness, not like the cold wind like the air conditioner blows people dizzy, the whole yard makes people feel more comfortable.

"Okay, you Jiang Ketu, how did you find this kind of fairy place?" Wang Jinshan easily did not praise people, and when he saw this scene, he was amazed.

"This is my friend's B&B, the yard is very large, but there are not many rooms, only eleven or twelve, I informed him in advance to wrap up this yard!

"Wang stubborn, don't you know, Lao Jiang is amazing now, a member of the Photographers Association, his works won awards in China a while ago!"

"Really?!Lao Jiang! Congratulations!" Wang Jinshan has always admired Jiang Ketu, and couldn't help but extend a thumbs up to him.

"The last time we had a party, I had just retired, and I had been working as a salesman for decades, and I had run all over the country! In the past two years, I have been idle at home, and I think of running around all these years and seeing the beautiful scenery of various places, so I want to go again and record them, but I didn't expect that I had no intention of inserting willows and willows!" Jiang Ketu talked about his hobbies, and his eyes flashed.

"Oh! You said that decades have passed, we were in the army back then, we were all children, and now we are all old!" Wei Bing patted his stomach and sighed.

"I remembered what you said, when Lao Jiang first joined the army, he was younger than us, and he was really a child at that time!" Wang Jinshan remembered the past and a smile appeared on his face.

"I remember this, he was clear-eyed at that time, he didn't like to talk, and he was timid, and we also nicknamed him Miss Jiang, hahaha!" Wei Bing laughed.

"You two old guys, you didn't play tricks on me back then!" Jiang Ketu complained.

"Who said that? How nice I was to you then! You forgot about the loss of your money?"

"Lost money?" Jiang Ketu was a little confused for a while.

"One day, I went to the regiment headquarters to deliver things back, and you were the only one in the dormitory, sitting on your bed wiping your tears, did you forget?" Wang Jinshan reminded Jiang Ketu.

"You seem to have such a thing in this statement, but I can't remember what it is?" Jiang Ketu scratched his head embarrassedly, after all, he liked to cry very much when he was young, and he felt comfortable when he cried in big and small things.

"Why don't I know about this, Wang stubborn, hurry up and talk about it!" Wei Bing aroused his curiosity.

Li Hui pursed her lips and smiled, Wang Jinshan told her several times on the train.

"At that time, I asked, girl, what's wrong with you?" Lao Jiang wiped his tears and said, I lost five cents...... At that time, five cents could buy a lot of things, and I saw that he was crying sadly, so I gave him five cents, and I said don't cry, I'll give you five cents!"

"Yes, yes, I remember, there is such a thing!" Jiang Ketu smiled embarrassedly.

"Lao Jiang stopped crying on the spot, put five cents in his pocket, I remember it was also summer at that time, I ran a sweat, went out to wash my face, and when I came back, he cried again!" Wang Jinshan shook his head.

Wei Bing was a little puzzled, "Why? Didn't you give him five cents? Could it be that you went out to wash your face, and he lost it again?"

"Didn't lose it, didn't lose it! Lao Jiang's brain circuit was different from ours at that time! I asked, girl, why are you crying? Lost the money again? And guess what he said!"

"How?"

"If I don't lose those five cents, won't I be a dime now!" Wang Jinshan laughed, and Jiang Ketu's face turned red.

"Don't talk about these old troubles, don't talk about them anymore!" Jiang Ketu begged, because he had already seen several of his comrades-in-arms coming down from the stairs one after another.

"What are you talking about? So happy!" was led by Shan Jun from Jiangxi, followed by Liu Zitao from Hunan and Xiao Peng from Inner Mongolia.

"Sit down, sit down, we're talking about interesting things about our time as soldiers!" Wei Bing quickly stood up and greeted them.

"Old squad leader, I haven't seen you tougher in two years!" Xiao Peng walked over and shook hands with Wang Jinshan.

"Are you still the squad leader?" Li Hui was a little surprised, Wang Jinshan had never mentioned to him that he had been a squad leader for so many years.

"This is my sister-in-law! I heard that you are a teacher, and you are gentle and elegant at first glance!" Liu Zitao's lover came over and held Li Hui's hand.

"Old squad leader! My sister-in-law is here today, no wonder you are so honest! Haha! You were more active than this at the last party!" Shan Jun joked inappropriately.

Wang Jinshan looked back at Li Hui nervously, Li Hui's face was already dark!
