482. Re-betting
Ah Zhen's wedding was held as scheduled, Shi Yigang and I returned to Anyang for this trip, even if it was achieved, the two of them played with Jufeng in the city for a few days, and Jufeng is now salted fish turned over, which can be regarded as the best landlord, taking the two of us to spend all day drinking, and finally I really can't drink anymore, and I also have fun, and I plan to return to Longcheng.
On the morning of the return trip, before I could get out of the city, Dongge's phone called.
"Hey, Brother Dong?"
"Well, where are you?"
"I just finished Ah Zhen's wedding and plan to return to Dragon City, what's wrong?"
Hearing about Ah Zhen's marriage, Brother Dong smiled: "How about Ah Zhen's wedding, it's good." ”
"It's okay, the main thing is that there are no bridesmaids, and it's not interesting for me to stay. ”
"If you want to say that, I don't think I actually went, and I don't have much to lose. After Dong Ge joked, he paused: "I have something to tell you." ”
"What's the matter?"
"Don't come back today, I'll send you my uncle's new number later, you deal with something and come back, as for the specific things, you call him, and he will tell you." ”
"Good!"
Hanging up Dong Ge's phone, I glanced helplessly and slowed down the car on the side of the road.
Shi Yigang vaguely listened to a few words of my conversation, and grinned: "What's the matter, there are instructions from Shangfeng?"
"Well, Xiaodong seems to have been menopausal recently, and everything he does is mysterious. As soon as I finished speaking, I received a text message from Brother Dong, and then called my uncle directly: "Hey, uncle, I'm Han Fei!"
"Ah, where are you?" said my uncle, hearing my voice.
"I'm at the entrance of the Chengdong Expressway. ”
"We've been to that fishing park on the outskirts of the city, can you still find it?"
"Lao Dingtou's fish pond?"
"Yes, come here, I'm here!"
"Wait for me. While talking to my uncle, I turned the car around and drove in the direction of the fish pond from memory.
……
Half an hour later, on the outskirts of the city.
As soon as I drove the car into the courtyard of the fish pond, I saw my uncle wearing a broken straw hat and holding a fishing rod fishing in the shade of the tree by the pond.
'Squeak!'
The old uncle, who was fishing, heard the sound of brakes behind him, turned his head and saw Shi Yigang and me who got out of the car, and grinned: "Why are you two cubs, and others didn't come?"
"That's a big deal, it's not enough for both of us to come. I smiled in response, walked over, and sat down on the mazaar next to my uncle.
"It's nothing, just let you bring something back. As he spoke, my uncle put down the fishing rod in his hand, and when I took off my hat again, I found that my uncle's previous black hair had turned white.
Seeing my uncle's gray hair, I was inexplicably a little sad: "Uncle, I've been busy with you lately." ”
When the uncle heard this, he smiled indifferently: "Now that the company is in a transition period, as an elder, I can't always watch you children in front of me. ”
Shi Yigang also stretched out his hand and turned it over on his uncle's head: "You can pull it down, your head is white, you must have left Brother Dong's sight, and the prostitute's kidney was overdrawn." ”
For Shi Yigang's ridicule, the uncle did not respond, held his knees and stood up from the fishing chair, saw him get up, I also stepped behind, the uncle walked to a nearby Jetta, reached out and opened the trunk, and then took out the sundries inside, put the spare tire under the trunk mat, laboriously carried a metal box with a password out, saw the uncle take something, I also helped to help a handful, as a result, the box fell down, I felt at least forty or fifty pounds.
On a stone table next to the fish pond, the old man reached out and rummaged through his bag, and took out two black wallets: "This is the driver's license that Chu Dong asked me to give you and Shi Yigang." ”
'Brush!'
Before I could stretch out my hand, Shi Yigang picked up the two driver's licenses, looked through them, and began to be amazed: "Don't say it, it's quite like the real thing!"
"Silly boy, this is true!"
I also took the driver's license and looked at it, it was C1's driver's license, and the photos in it should have been called up in the computer, exactly the same as on my ID card, Dong Ge's brother-in-law Nian Xueming worked in the traffic police force, and the driver's license at that time was not as strict as the current management, so I was not very surprised by this matter, and I put it away very casually.
After getting my driver's license, I patted the box at my feet: "What you asked me to bring to Brother Dong, is this?"
The old man nodded: "Well, you take it, let's pair it!"
"What the hell, you're going to sell drugs!" I grinned, reaching out and lifting the box onto the table.
'Click!'
My uncle reached out and poked a few times on the combination lock, and the lid of the box popped open, and when I saw the contents of it, I was stunned.
"A total of 2,130,000 cash, you go through it again!" the old man pointed to the red cash in the box and raised his head to me.
"With so much money, you won't be a cowherd!" Shi Yigang looked at the more than two million cash neatly arranged in the alley, and then looked at his uncle's gray hair, with a shocked expression.
"If I could sell myself for so much money, would I have to wait until now? The old uncle grinned: "The two of you must bring this money back to Dragon City safely, otherwise it will really kill Chu Dong!"
Two million yuan, this amount does not sound very large, but when it is really placed in front of me, there is still a certain visual impact, I looked at a large box full of money, a little overwhelmed: "Uncle, where did so much money come from!"
The old uncle pursed his lips and smiled: "After your eldest brother had a conflict with the house devil, he was afraid that he would have some accidents in the future, so he sent his parents and children to other places, and bought them a house, part of the money was mortgaged by the house, and the rest was the pension money he left to his parents, as well as the money for the children to go to school and marry a wife and have children in the future, all here, and a small part of it was mortgaged by my house and made a loan......"
After listening to my uncle's explanation, I was even more confused: "Then the meaning of all this money appearing here, is...?"
"Now in Longcheng, the relationship between us and Dapu is relatively tense, and Dapu's recent attitude towards development has been very vague, Chu Dong is afraid that when the project starts, there will be mistakes on Dapu's side, so I asked me to raise some additional funds, that's all!" The old man patted the money in the box:" On this matter, Chu Dong and the two of us have the same opinion, we have been fighting in Dragon City for so long, and what we are waiting for is this opportunity, so the development matter, no matter whether Dapu will change the hexagram or not, we have to ensure that it goes on as scheduled!"
After listening to my uncle's words, I felt that he was a little suspicious, so I smiled and said: "I don't think Dapu should change his hexagram, although the cooperation between our two sides is not as close as before, but the development of tourism has brought huge benefits to both sides, even if he is stupid, he will not let such huge benefits flow away, right?"
The old man nodded slightly: " What we are worried about is not that Dapu will withdraw from development, but we don't want to hold the initiative in his hands, after all, in the development of this kind of thing, the initiative of both sides of the cooperation will definitely be in the hands of the party with abundant funds, and the rest of Longcheng does not know our details, but Dapu is very clear that at this time, he can afford to drag it, but we definitely can't afford to drag it, if he uses money to get stuck with us, it is disgusting enough, so the significance of this money is that if Dapu does not allocate the project money on time, we can also ensure that the project continues normally, and I asked you to take the cash back, not afraid that Dapu knows, but afraid of the house devil, will check the flow of our funds, I think about it, or feel that it is safest to take cash. ”
"I understand the reason, but wouldn't it be a bit too risky to do this?" Shi Yigang also followed suit: "When we first went to Dragon City before, we had already paid a sum of money to Dapu, if we fill in the money again, it will add up to four or five million!"
The old uncle nodded noncommittally: "This money can be said to be your eldest brother's entire net worth, because of this, in the matter of Dragon City, we can't lose, and we can't afford to lose!"
"That being said, what is the difference between Brother Dong's approach and gambling?" I said with some incomprehension: "Not to mention making such a heavy bet!"
After all, in this life, there are only a few opportunities that can be seen and touched, and if we miss the thing in front of us, we don't know when we have to wait until we want to turn over. The old man also saw our worries, and smiled indifferently: "Don't worry! Your eldest brother must know these problems that you are anxious about, otherwise he would not have used so much money to go to waste." ”
"Uncle. ”
"Hmm. ”
"What if, I mean, Brother Dong really loses the bet?"
"Hehe!" After listening to my question, my uncle reached out and touched my head: "The reason why this world is full of drama is because no one knows what will happen to us when the sun rises tomorrow, so most of the time in life, the only thing we can do is to do our best and obey the destiny of God." ”
"......" After listening to my uncle's words, I didn't continue to ask questions, although my uncle didn't say it explicitly, but I also felt it, if Brother Dong really lost, then this ending is definitely not something we can afford, but think about it on the other hand, what Uncle said is also right, since Brother Dong dares to bring this money to Dragon City, he must be very sure, I don't need to worry about it at all.
Thinking of this, I stopped bothering and began to carefully check the number in the box.
Twenty minutes later, I put the box in the car, opened the door and got into the car.
"Are you two leaving?" the old man asked when he saw that I was about to withdraw after taking the money, and stood by the car.
"Yes, it's okay to stay here anyway, why am I not leaving?" When I thought of the more than two million cash in my car, I always felt that I didn't have a bottom in my heart, and I just wanted to send this thunder back to Dong Ge as quickly as possible.
"Hey, then you can take me for a while, and I'll go to the city too!"
"Don't you have a car?"
"Drive a car and save some gas!"
"Okay!" After listening to my uncle's answer, I licked my lips speechlessly: "Where are you going?"
"Maple Grove Street!"
"Fenglin Street, isn't that a place for prostitutes?" Shi Yigang also laughed: "And that place is full of thirty yuan for a living old lady, when will you get better at this?"
"! Isn't this because the family is short of money, I can save a little!" A lewd smile bloomed on the uncle's face, opened the door of the back seat and sat in: "Hurry up, go early and go early, I still have something to do when I come back in the evening!"
"You go in our car, how can you come back at night?"
"I try to solve the problem before the bus gets off work!"
When the uncle's words fell, Shi Yigang suddenly gave a thumbs up: "I'd rather take the bus than go to prostitution, you really haven't lived in vain for more than 40 years, really!"
"That's a must, man, sometimes you have to be kind to yourself. The uncle grabbed his crotch and responded very reservedly.
