At noon on this day, Cheng Chuifan was called to Hu Zhihu's house for dinner. Hu Zhihu's burial has been arranged, the next day at 3 p.m. "buy water" (a burial custom in Jiang Village, all the distant relatives of the deceased gather at the deceased's home, everyone wears a white cloth under the leadership of the eight kings, in the sound of the trumpet, walk to the river together to throw a few coins into the river, fill a pot of water home, and then go to the deceased to burn incense and paper to kneel and bow down), the third day is buried at 10 o'clock in the morning.

Mr. Feng Shui of the burial place is also optimistic.

After eating, Hu Zhibao asked Cheng Chuifan to go to his house, and Jiang Xiaocai was already waiting at his house.

"Yo, it seems that the leopard still doesn't trust me very much, and invited such a big man?" Cheng Chuifan and Hu Zhibao were so familiar that Jiang Xiaocai really didn't expect it.

"I'm a foreigner, how can I compare with Captain Jiang? I'm very afraid that you will make my life unpeaceful from now on. Cheng Chuifan said.

Hu Zhibao looked at Cheng Chuifan, not knowing why he said this.

Jiang Xiaocai was different, his face changed instantly. Of course, he didn't forget that this was what he threatened Cheng Chuifan at Wang Changgeng's house. A week has passed, and he doesn't seem to have done anything to Cheng Chuifan.

"Captain Jiang misunderstood me, what do I have to worry about when you sign a contract with me, it's just that I'm a rough person and can't understand the contract, so I invited Brother Cheng over. Hu Zhibao explained.

"Then let you, Brother Cheng, hurry up and take a look, and sign it when you see it. Jiang Xiaocai still said with a calm face.

Cheng Chuifan took the contract and looked at it carefully.

"There's nothing wrong with the contract, but I'd suggest adding one. Cheng Chuifan said.

"Do you suggest adding one, which one to add?" Jiang Xiaocai said angrily.

"Project funds should be made on schedule. ”

"That's for sure, doesn't the contract say that 30 percent will be paid after the project starts. ”

"I'm not done yet. What if the project money is not paid on time?"

"How could that be?"

"That's what I'm going to add, if the project is delayed, an additional 5% of the funding will be added. Cheng Chuifan said.

"What do you know as a scholar? How can you have such a contract? My project payment of 80,000 yuan, 5%, 4,000 yuan!"

"What do you mean by being so worried about additional project funds?" Cheng asked rhetorically.

"The problem is that the project money is given by the bureau, can I control the bureau?" Jiang Xiaocai was angry.

"Forget it, Brother Cheng," Hu Zhibao said, "that's too difficult for Captain Jiang." Since there are no problems with the contract, we will sign it. After signing the contract, my wasteland belongs to the Jiang family. ”

"Brother Leopard. Cheng Chuifan said.

"I'm sure it's okay. The project funds were indeed allocated by the bureau. ”

"Brother Leopard, you can do it. ”

……

At the door of Tong Yu's house, seven or eight peasants were in full swing, and by five o'clock in the afternoon, the mortar wall had been built half high.

Tong Yu's father, Tong Xiaogen, how happy he looked.

At the same time, on the way to Jiang Village, a Santana that was almost scrapped was driving.

There were two people in the car.

The driver was Ye Jianghe, the second deputy leader of the Yangjiang Kitchen Knife Gang, who was in his early thirties, one meter six or seven, with exquisite facial features, and looked a little like a girl.

Sitting in the passenger seat was a young man less than twenty, but with big shoulders and a round waist. This named * Wei, although he is young, he has been mixing rivers and lakes for a long time, and he dropped out of school at the age of fourteen to follow Ye Jianghe, and he has a very tacit understanding with Ye Jianghe.

"Brother Ye, when did you learn to drive this car, so slippery. "*Wei has nothing to say.

"It's been seven years, but I haven't driven a car. "Yejiang River channel.

"Don't you have this? ”

"What is this broken car!" Ye Jianghe slapped the steering wheel fiercely, and the body twisted accordingly.

"Eh, your car is driving steadily. I don't want to be heroic with you. ”

"Don't you want to be strong with me? Isn't the BB enough? I see that little girl pestering you every day. You're going to let him eat bananas every day, aren't you?"

"Brother Ye, aren't you deliberately teaching me badly?"

"Aren't you with me just because I can teach you bad?"

"So you're my bad master. ”

The gravel road was uneven, and Santana made a breaking sound.

"Damn, walking this kind of broken road after eating a full meal, driving this kind of broken car, shaking my stomach sagging. "After a period of silence, Ye Jiang said.

"I'm also a little uncomfortable. *Wei responded.

"I don't know when I can drive 2,000, 3,000. Ye Jianghe sighed.

"Sooner or later, you will be able to open it as the eldest brother, and we will not have this dream as the younger brother. ”

"Damn, you're aspiring," Ye Jianghe slapped one hand on *wei's curved thigh, "Why don't you have this dream?

"Unless one day you become the boss and I am your deputy, your broken Santana is mine. ”

"I was thinking that our boss was a little behind. Ye Jianghe said suddenly.

"Brother Ye is saying that there is no hope, right?" *Wei asked.

"Society is changing, and our mixed society must also change, and not changing is a dead end. It's hard to eat and drink, that's a fart! Boss, he didn't think about how to use the power of our group. ”

"To put it in layman's terms, it means that the boss wants to take the younger brother to make a fortune, isn't it Brother Ye?"

That's it. We can't just stop at collecting some protection fees and collecting some management fees, in that case, we will have to drink the northwest wind sooner or later. ”

"Brother Ye didn't want to go to the high places?" *Wei asked tentatively.

"What do you mean?"

"We all want to be with a big brother who has a thought. ”

"Don't talk nonsense, I won't be able to protect you when you break your hands and feet. ”

"Isn't it because you're my big brother?"

"Okay, that's the end of this topic, let's think about how to put that Cheng hammer away. Ye Jianghe took the initiative to change the topic.

"Do you still have to consider this? Which time did I miss a move with Brother Ye?"

"Don't fucking slap me. Didn't you learn that guy's bravery yesterday?"

"Let's fight wits and not courage today, what are we afraid of?"

An hour later, the Santana stopped next to the Jiangcun Station shuttle.

"Aren't you going to school?"

"What kind of head are you, are you afraid that Cheng Hammer doesn't know that we are going to get him? Get out of the car quickly!"

At dusk, some people have already had dinner and sit at the door to cool off, while others hurried to their homes with hoes or dustpans.

Ye Jianghe and * Wei went to the school to step on a good point, and then walked towards the gambling nest.

"I've heard a long time ago that Jiang Cun gambles big, so I'm going to see it tonight. "Yejiang River channel.

"I've also heard that tens of thousands of wins and losses can be won or lost in one night. *Wei looked a little excited.

"Whether we have gained anything today depends on whether we really have a tacit understanding. Ye Jianghe patted *Wei's shoulder very kindly.

"Don't worry, Brother Ye. But, wait a minute, we can't just go together, we have to find two people to take us. By the way, find out what kind of hands they play. ”

"Do you want to go together, or do you want to go separately?" Ye Jianghe asked.

"Let's separate, ten minutes apart, those gamblers won't think much about it. ”

……

Tong Xiaogen rarely drank a small wine or two. Looking at the mortar wall that will be built tomorrow, my heart is happy.

Yang Aixiu, who was holding the dishes and chopsticks, seemed to say very casually: "Lao Tong, Captain Jiang is so good, do you see if you will cut a pound of meat tomorrow and invite him to have a meal at night, and you will accompany him to drink a few more sips?"

"Okay, but just cut a pound of meat, just a pound. ”

"I know. ”

Tong Yu, who was about to go to school for evening self-study, listened to the conversation of his parents, and suddenly had a premonition that his happy days were coming to an end.
