Chapter 199: A Chance Encounter on the Street
The fat cat was shy, and he sat on the bed in the hotel with the little fat second cannon and threw poker. Because of the hot climate in Hainan, the time for the winter vacation is extremely short, and the winter vacation is all subsidized to the summer vacation. The first thing the fat cat did on vacation was to go home and take a look at his father, and then asked Wang Changwu for money and booked a ticket from Haikou to Yanjing. Xiao Tai Sui's four million, Wang Changwu, who was jawed on his feet, all invested in Shang Yunfeng's name, Wang Changwu knew that Shang Yunfeng was not stupid, and the four million directly said that Ye Tian was ready to invest. This time in Yanjing, Ye Tian, the big fortune star, directly pushed Shang Yunfeng to the peak of the real estate industry, Shang Yunfeng couldn't wait to get in touch with Ye Tian, and immediately without saying a word, he squeezed out some of the shares in his hand, and then transferred the four million 'low price' to Ye Tian's name, so that Ye Tian actually owned the shares of Yunfeng Real Estate.
Wang Changwu won't care about how Shang Yunfeng operates, anyway, the huge annual dividends can't run. As long as Shang Yunfeng doesn't have water in his head, he is willing to spend as much money as he can catch Ye Tian and Wang Changwu.
When the fat cat first heard about four million, his eyes almost popped out. It's just that Wang Changwu threw it at Shang Yunfeng at that time, and it was not easy to withdraw it again.
Wang Changwu threw the fat cat 10,000 yuan for the journey, and told the fat cat that when he arrived in Yanjing, someone would naturally spend money on you.
As a result, when he arrived in Yanjing, the fat cat almost stared out his eyes again. Ye Tian is gone, the two fat men live in a five-star hotel every day, they are Mercedes-Benz BMWs in and out, and even the cash is carried out in sacks and sacks. These have exceeded the limits of the fat cat's imagination, so much so that for the first time, the fat cat did not drink for the first time - he was afraid that he would not be able to beat people if he drank too much when he was beaten for a while.
In less than a day, the fat cat adapted to this extravagant life, and while drinking, he was fine and scolded Ye Tian behind his back with the little fat second gun.
"You haven't been to Area A, let me tell you, Brother Ye Tian is often scorched and black, but it's fun, we also ate his skin, and it tastes good. ”
"But this is the three of us said, Xuan Xuanzi said it to Huang Laoxie, it's really not to scare people, if it really leaks out, Brother Ye Tian's life may be in danger, so we must not mention it to anyone, not even cauliflower. ”
On this principled issue related to Ye Tian's safety, the three fat men were by no means ambiguous.
On the eve of the Chinese New Year this year, seeing that the streets and alleys of Yanjing began to be pasted with Spring Festival couplets and hung up red lanterns, the three fat men did not see Ye Tian being released. Shang Yunfeng, who smelled the smell, took Shang Yurou back and forth several times, changing his method to inquire about Ye Tian's whereabouts. The three fat men kept silent, whether it was food or money, they all shook their heads in unison and said they didn't know.
The three fat men were so anxious that Ye Tian, who was receiving special training in Area A, didn't know how much time had passed. The entire Area A is hollowed out of the mountain, and there is no natural light. All artificial light sources simulate the rising and setting of the sun, and in such an environment, it is easy to lose track of time. Even Fang Liming and the others were confused later, not knowing how many days had passed.
Until one day two fighters came and told them that the mission was complete and that they could evacuate Area A.
"So fast, what time is it?"
"There are three days left for the Lunar New Year. The warrior's answer surprised several people, except for Ye Tian, who was still picking his feet like a fool, the other five people didn't know that it had been so long.
Ye Tian sent the five people away 'reluctantly', and then grinned into the training cabin that was detained at the base and played a new round of competition.
In the afternoon, Huang Laoxie finally rushed back from abroad. Seeing Ye Tian for the first time, he couldn't help but circle around Ye Tian. This kid has changed too much, there is no fat on his body, and he seems to be quite handsome. But the meanness and obscenity in his eyes have not changed, no, they are more despicable than they looked before.
"What are you doing?" Huang Laoxie looked at Ye Tian and stretched out his hand, and asked puzzledly.
"I've been out for so long, don't you even have a gift? Even if you don't, you have to deal with a 180,000 pocket money to press the New Year's money, right? It's going to be the New Year soon......
Huang Laoxie sneered and stretched out his backhand to Ye Tian: "If Lao Tzu gives you a few days off, should you give Lao Tzu some money?"
Hearing Huang Laoxi's words, Ye Tian hurriedly waved his hand: "Forget it, write it off, when will I have a holiday?" I want to go home to see my seventh uncle." ”
"Little Fat Er Cannon and Fat Cat have already come to Yanjing, you don't have a long vacation, let's spend it in Yanjing, the four of you, celebrate the New Year with the two of us. Seeing Ye Tian pouting, Xuan Xuanzi hurriedly added: "There are New Year's money and red envelopes." ”
Ye Tian was indeed released, but the five pieces of white steel alloy on his body were not allowed to be taken off. Even so, Ye Tian, who had escaped from twenty times the gravity, still had a feeling of being as light as a swallow the moment he stepped on the ground.
Driving out of the military restricted area in the western suburbs, the traffic on the street began to gradually become dense. The snowflakes falling from the sky are fluttering, and although the trees on both sides of the road have long been devoid of red flowers and green leaves, they are hung by the municipal staff with flashing lights, and the strings of lights are full of color, blooming at night with a mesmerizing beauty.
Ye Tian asked the driver to stop on the side of the road and walked alone on the streets of Yanjing. Seeing children of his age happily playing in the alleys of the streets and alleys, covering his ears and letting go of the monkeys, Ye Tian's heart suddenly rose a trace of doubt and loneliness.
Ye Tian's exhaled breath turned into a cloud of white mist after encountering the cold air, blurring Ye Tian's vision with the world. A little girl about the same age as Ye Tian grabbed a string of sugar gourds in her hand, and ran past Ye Tian in a thick cotton coat, and behind her, her companion, screaming and catching up from behind. When the two girls passed by Ye Tian's side, they also glanced at Ye Tian with a lonely face curiously.
"Sugar gourd, delicious rock sugar gourd, rock sugar gourd. "An old man who sells rock sugar gourds walked past Ye Tian, and the haystack he was carrying was full of rock sugar gourds, sour jujubes, jujubes, hawthorns... The whole nine yards.
Seeing Ye Tian standing on the side of the road in a daze, the old man asked with a smile: "Children, let's have a string of rock sugar gourds, shall you have a string of rock sugar gourds? The five cents of hawthorn and the four cents of sour dates are sweet." ”
The sudden sadness that surged Ye Tian was a little unprepared, and he sniffed, Ye Tian nodded with a smile and said, "Okay, old man, then bring me two strings of hawthorn rock sugar gourds." Ye Tian said as he prepared to take out the money from his pocket.
"Listening to your accent, it seems to be from the south, right? There is no rock sugar gourd in the south, and the north is only found in the cold weather in winter. ”
"Yes, old man, to be honest, I really haven't eaten it. Ye Tian took the sugar gourd, but found that he was penniless except for a mobile phone.
"Don't bring any money, don't worry, just let grandpa invite you to taste, it's the New Year soon, go home early, this year, but it's the most important traditional festival in our country." ”
At this time, the two young foreigners saw the rock sugar gourd in Ye Tian's hand, walked over curiously, bought two strings with a guess, just took a bite, and immediately showed a surprised expression and shouted GOOD!
"Look at these foreigners, they don't understand the food of our Huaxia country, and they don't understand the customs of our Huaxia country. The old man smiled and lifted the burden, and said to Ye Tian: "They don't understand, my Huaxia Kingdom has never succumbed since ancient times." Back then, the Eight-Nation Coalition didn't conquer us, and the little devils were also beaten away by us, our Huaxia country, there is a family and country plot that these foreign devils don't have!"
The sugar gourd that Ye Tian had just taken two bites of stopped in mid-air.
"What's the matter, kid? Is the sugar gourd too cold and can't stand it?" The old man said with a smile: "Many southerners come to the north for the first time, and they are all strange how northerners can eat this kind of ice in such cold weather." ”
"Grandpa, have you ever been a soldier?"
"I have fought against Vietnam, I have fought against India. Now that I'm old, I don't want to be idle, so I like to walk the streets and alleys. The old man pointed to the brightly lit skyscrapers in the distance.
"When people are old, they are willing to watch the changes in this city every day. This is a city and country that I am willing to protect, born as a Chinese person, and dead as a Chinese ghost. The old man seemed to be a little emotional when he spoke, the corners of his eyes were slightly moist, and he sighed and said to Ye Tian: "I don't know why, when I see you, I think of my grandson." It's a pity that my grandson was taken back to the south by his parents, so as soon as I heard your southern accent, I was... ”
When the old man said this, he finally couldn't hold back the feelings he had been suppressing. Bright tears flowed down his eyes, and the old man wiped them with his sleeve.
"My wife is seriously ill, and no hospital can cure it except for the big hospital in Yanjing. This place is good, but I can't afford to see a doctor, and the money I get from selling sugar gourds a day is enough to rent a bed for my wife. The house and land in the family have been sold, and the son and daughter-in-law don't have any contact with our old couple. ”
The old man wiped his tears, and said to Ye Tian with some embarrassment: "I'm an old fool, how can I talk to you about these things that add to the blockage during the New Year." As he spoke, he picked up a string of sugar gourds and handed them to Ye Tian: "Come, try this jujube again, it's sweet." ”
Ye Tian unceremoniously took the sugar gourd and asked the old man, "Grandpa, do you have any contact information?"
The old man smiled bitterly and said, "Where did I get my mobile phone? There is one landline, but it is the phone number of the hospital." I sleep in the hospital corridor every day, and my wife's bed is also in the corridor, in case my wife dies one day, I can still take one last look at him... My wife's last wish is to see the Great Wall, and when it is almost gone, I will carry her to see it. Speaking of this, the old man shook his head and sighed with tears in his eyes.
In Ye Tian's opinion, this matter is not a matter at all. With his senior brother Tang Jieyi here, as long as this person has a breath to hang, there is absolutely no problem.
Ye Tian had already made up his mind to help this poor old man. But neither of them had paper or pen on them, and the old man couldn't remember the phone number Ye Tian said.
In desperation, Ye Tian had no choice but to inquire in detail about the hospital and department where the old man was located.
"Don't worry, grandpa, tomorrow at the earliest, the day after tomorrow at the latest, this year will definitely make you live a down-to-earth and happy life, my senior brother is the director of the hospital. Seeing the old man's half-believing expression, Ye Tian said with a smile: "Why don't I call now?"
"No, no, if it's convenient for your senior brother, that's the best. But... The old man rubbed his hands as rough as the bark of a tree, and said embarrassedly, "I... We don't have the money to pay for our medical bills. ”
Ye Tian raised the sugar gourd in his hand: "Isn't this payment?"
Waving goodbye to the old man, Ye Tian's confused feeling just now vanished. The old man is right, this nation, this country, and these cities and brothers are all that I Ye Tian will protect for the rest of my life.
Life is a Chinese person, death is a Chinese ghost!
There are no regrets in this life to enter China, and in the next life, I will come to the Chinese family!
Ye Tian finished eating the two sugar gourds that were sweet to his heart, and looked up at the dark sky and laughed.
