(17) The golden cicada sheds its shell

In the morning, as soon as Wenzhu sent Dong Mei to the store, Cheng Bang came over, and shouted before entering the door: "Do you want to kill me, causing me to sneeze and sneeze again yesterday." "It was another thunderbolt.

"If you have a cold, you will catch a cold, don't put gold on your face, and make yourself like an amorous species. Dong Mei smiled.

Wen Zhu continued to strike: "I thought you met a female thief halfway and couldn't come back after being robbed." When will you get home?"

"It was nearly eleven o'clock last night. By the way, Wenzhu, is there anything to do today-" Wenzhu hasn't answered yet, "-help me pay, settle the bill at the end of the year, and spend the New Year refreshingly." ”

Cheng Bang is righteous enough, and he doesn't owe money to others for the New Year, even if he becomes a loser. Therefore, he has a lot of prestige among flower farmers and tree farmers, and is willing to supply him with his own flowers and trees.

"No problem, Boss Liu. Pay attention to the image, it's still early, get your hair up, don't be like a chicken nest. Wen Zhu proposed.

The two of them are used to it, and it doesn't matter whether they praise or depreciate into a state. Cheng Bang looked in the mirror, and he really didn't have the demeanor of a boss. There is a barber shop not far away, which has just opened, allowing Chengbang to take the lead. If it's late, you have to queue up again, and none of the barbershops in these days are not full.

In less than half an hour, Cheng Bang walked out like a different person, with Dong Mei's new suit, full of style, and a briefcase, who would dare to underestimate him.

People are "three points of appearance, seven points of dress", Dong Mei's store lit up, Dong Mei joked: "Cheng Bang, stand in front of my store for a few days in the coming year, in addition to the black spots on your face, there is a board and a shape, to ensure that you earn enough eyeballs." If you are not careful, you may also become China's chief male model. ”

Listening to Dong Mei's ridiculous compliment, Cheng Bang looked at himself in the mirror again, overjoyed, and whistled involuntarily, as if he was a successful person.

"I'll do it if I pull the bamboo, the male model is not ashamed. "Chengbang squeezed his eyes at Wenzhu, and Lawenzhu went into the water.

"'The cause has not yet succeeded, comrades still have to work hard'. Don't stink, let's get down to business. ”

Wen Zhu slapped Cheng Bang's buttocks hard, and Cheng Bang took the opportunity to leave the mirror with "oops", and deliberately went out with a limp, as if he had been hit by the "Eighteen Palms of the Dragon", which made Da Mei laugh when he entered the door.

Don't look at Chengbang's usual grin, giggling, open-mouthed, and coarse and meticulous in doing things. The accounts are clear and organized. A general table, more than 20 people, names, amount due, amount paid, amount to pay, signature in the last column. Tens of thousands of big ones, nearly 1,000 small ones, thumb prints in case of illiteracy, red seal mud are prepared.

If there is a discrepancy, each creditor has a detailed ledger, which can be found at a glance. The details have the name, quantity, unit price, and amount of flowers and trees, the number of days of labor, the total amount, the amount of the deposit paid, and how much is left, which is clear at a glance.

"Hehe, I can't see it, boy, it's very professional!" Wen Zhu praised.

"Don't call me an expert, just make do. "As soon as I boasted about it, it came again.

"What's wrong with the expert?" asked Wenzhu.

Cheng Bang told a joke: "It is said that an expert in the city went to the countryside to investigate, and met two turtles in the corner of a ridge, which was very curious. The old farmer who accompanied him said: 'My grandfather listened to my grandfather's grandfather say that they were betting that whoever moved or opened his mouth would lose. ’

The expert became even more curious, took a magnifying glass, carefully studied the two turtles, and finally pointed to the one with an oracle bone on its back and decisively concluded: 'This turtle has been dead for nearly 5,000 years. A turtle next to him was furious: "TLD, I have been waiting for thousands of years!" It shows that the ancient turtle was more civilized than the current people, and he did not scold TMD.

Before he finished speaking, the turtle smiled and said, "You can also believe the expert's words, you lost, and I went on a date." Little Flower!Little Flower!' The expert fainted on the spot. ”

Before Wenzhu could laugh, the creditors gathered over, smoke sprayed in all directions, Wenzhu coughed and wanted to open the window.

Cheng Bang raised his voice: "Those who want to smoke go outside the door, and those who don't smoke pay first." ”

With this true spirit, the room is no longer filled with smoke. Reconcile the accounts first, pay the IOU, then pay, and sign the money. If in doubt, the final account is checked. Chengbang counted it once, Wen Zhu core it once, some creditors twisted their saliva and lit it a few times, and some stuffed it into their pockets if they didn't click.

These people are all native-born farmers, and they have a lot of responsibilities, and they don't care about the accounts that come and go. I just hope that Boss Liu will help them sell a little more next year, there is obviously an element of gratitude on his face, he said kind words when he left, and his rough hands threw the broken cigarettes, Wen Zhu wanted to refuse but didn't know who threw it.

Only the two of them came and went a little big, because there were details, and the other party still had Chengbang's original IOU, and the cause and effect were quickly matched. One is his own fault, the wrong entry is not good, two hundred and five is regarded as five hundred and two, and the other is the carelessness of Cheng Bang, obviously 25 * 17 is 425, but he remembers 325.

In the afternoon, the two of them went to the bathhouse to take a bath, rub their backs, and rub away the dirt of the year, and feel the sauna to steam away the fatigue and unhappiness of the year, so that the body can be baptized from the inside out.

Seeing that the bather was pot-bellied, Wenzhu and Chengbang glanced at each other, the muscles were distinct, there was no fat, and the two smiled.

In the box, the heating is turned on, draped in blankets, and Chengbang presses the remote control aimlessly, most of which are related to the Spring Festival, parties, interviews with border officers and soldiers, and the like. Finally, on the sports channel, a rookie fighter challenged Holyfield, and the rookie hung up after a few rounds. However, the bare legs of the young lady holding the card dangled between each round and looked boring, so Wenzhu turned the TV down.

Wen Zhu took a sip of tea, lay on the bed and said, "Chengbang, it's a good mix, the goal is getting closer!"

"Hehe, don't make fun of me, brother. Supply and marketing at home scenery is unlimited, outside the low three and four. To be honest, the money is okay, but most of it is receivables. What is in your pocket is your own, and what you owe is nothing, just to give you hope. ”

It seems that every line has a scripture that is difficult to read, and Cheng Bang drank all the water in the cup in one gulp, as if the cup was also worth his money.

"If people owe you, you can owe them. Wen Zhu nodded.

"Those honest country men in the morning, you can't bear to owe them? They worked hard all year and counted on this money to support their families. Although they sometimes have the cunning of small peasant consciousness, they have no distractions in their essence and will not come to trick you.

"Our fathers are also such people, this land and water have raised us, and we can't bear to hurt them? ”

Chengbang's chivalry has reached the bones, love and hate are clear, Wen Zhulian said that he admired and admired.

"Women don't leave their profession in three sentences, and men don't leave women in three sentences", the two commented on today's actresses, recalling the girls in the past, they are tired of talking too much, just like fatty meat, occasionally tasting very fresh and flavorful, and they are greasy and burping, and they are tasteless.

Cheng Bang asked about the marriage between Wen Zhu and Dong Mei, Wen Zhu told him about the incident a while ago, Cheng Bang analyzed it a little and said: "The old man is a hindrance, Dong Mei and her mother protect you, there is no major conflict, I am afraid of accidents." Wenzhu, it is imperative that you have to be practical, and you will be foolproof. ”

"Do you mean to form a de facto marriage, and her father will be in vain if he gets in the way. Isn't this a disservice to Dong Mei? It seems that I am fighting with his father and using her as a bargaining chip. Wenzhu was reluctant to do this, thinking it was too vulgar.

"How can it hurt Dong Mei? You are wishful thinking, doing this can clear the obstacles and accelerate your union, in fact, it is the best of both worlds. If it were someone else, I wouldn't bother to pay attention to you. ”

Cheng Bang's words made Wen Zhu speechless for a while. It's simple, crude, but absolutely effective. Wen Zhu didn't want to dwell too much on this, so he turned over and feigned sleep. Seeing that Cheng Bang was victorious, he leisurely lit a cigarette, and the smoke ring rose above his head.

There was a knock on the door, and Wen Zhu wondered: Who is it? Just about to speak, I saw a head with heavy makeup sticking out of the crack in the door, and a delicate voice said, "Boss, do you want to knock on the back?"

Wen Zhu looked at Cheng Bang suspiciously, thinking that it was arranged by Cheng Bang, but Cheng Bang didn't have time to respond. "Jiao Didi" pushed the door and flashed to the side of the bed, dressed extremely enchanting, wearing summer clothes and winter clothes, plus a long cotton jacket, the door was open, and the meat inside was looming.

Because of the whitewashing, I can't see my age or my true face, and my debauchery eyes look at the two handsome guys unscrupulously, and the delicate voice sounded again: "Boss, knock on the back, you are satisfied and comfortable." ”

Touching that vision, Wen Zhu instinctively shrank into the blanket, for fear that the lewd light would steal his innocent body. Since he hadn't seen this formation, Wen Zhu panicked so much that he had goosebumps on his body, and if there was a place to hide, he would definitely expose his butt like an ostrich.

Cheng Bang saw that Wen Zhu's head was shaking like a rattle, so he waved his hand vigorously at "Jiao Di Di" to chase away the guests, and "Jiao Di Di" muttered out stupidly. People are gone, but inferior perfume is spreading, scourging Wenzhu's nerves.

The two put away the pantomime, Wenzhu returned to normal, and first made a difficulty: "Chengbang, what's going on?"

"What's going on? You suspect that I arranged it. I'm full of food and support, and looking at such a woman doesn't lower your status and mine. Don't overreact so drastically when you knock on your back, this is a by-product of reform and opening up, and you are used to it. Wen Zhu, are you true or false innocent? I'm afraid that someone will rape you in broad daylight, this is not like your true colors. ”

Cheng Bang criticized Wen Zhu mercilessly, and Wen Zhu's every move just now did not escape Cheng Bang's eyelids. Wenzhu is planted today, and it is not a pity to plant it in the hands of Chengbang, and it will be big if it is planted outside.

Wen Zhu and Cheng Bang lay down for a while, then dressed and went downstairs to settle the bill. In the corridor, I saw a young lady coming out of a door, disheveled, not caring about the eyes of others, walking and reasoning, stopping in front of a door that did not draw the curtain, knocking on the door like a moth to a fire.

Because of his previous experience, Wen Zhu did not run away, but still sped up the pace of going down the stairs and left the place.

Later, I learned that knocking on the back is divided into knocking on the big and small back, knocking on the small back is a normal massage, and the hard money earned; knocking on the big back is a massage plus lower body service, and the price is much more expensive.

How to identify the situation of the guests in the room is judged by whether the curtain behind the door is closed. The bath provides a place, and the lady provides the service, which is mutually beneficial, and it is just the golden partner of "embarrassment".

Out of the dirt but not dirty, except for the lotus is a gentleman, Wenzhu does not dare to call himself a gentleman, but yearns for the purity of the lotus.

Out of the big dye vat, Cheng Bang sent Wenzhu to Dong Mei's shop, and said before leaving: "At noon on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, the 'Xiaoyue Xuan' of 'good again', junior high school classmates gathered in a small area, and there were many surprises. Wen Zhu, remember to bring Wen Hui. ”

This secret dive was deep enough, Cheng Bang didn't suffocate his stomach for a day, and now he breathed a little and stopped, Wen Zhu didn't know anything.

Dong Mei asked loudly where it came from and who it was, but Cheng Bang got on a sports car and crashed away. Dong Mei flipped through the calendar, couldn't help but think about it, and thought about how to deal with the fifth day of the new year.

On the fifth day of the Lunar New Year, according to the custom, the relatives of Dong Mei's family want to visit Dong Mei's house for New Year's greetings, and the Dong family naturally wants to eat food. Usually everyone is busy, and only in the days of the New Year, family affection can be truly reflected.

In those days, I paid New Year's greetings every day, exchanged family affection, relaxed my body, changed the guests, fish, meat, chicken and shrimp every day, and saw meat every day. After a few meals, you will be tired, it is better to have a bowl of white porridge and pickles, and the things that are usually very annoying are pleasing for a few days during the New Year.

The things on the scene, everyone can't, the year is busy, and relatives move around frequently in the past few days. If you use white porridge and pickles to entertain guests, although it is good for the stomach, you can teach the host how to hold his head up. Don't say that you are stingy, is it obvious that you are disrespectful to the guests? Whoever doesn't want face during the New Year, who doesn't want the scenery, even if no one eats, they have to put it out.

In fact, the money saved by ordinary people on weekdays is not enough for the New Year's expenses. Usually save to eat, can save the save, but the New Year is overly nutritious, waste countless people, should be even, people's nutrition is balanced, but who can do it.

In the final analysis, you are still poor, you can celebrate the New Year every day if you have money, and you can only save money to save face during the New Year. Probably there are few delicious things in ordinary times, and the greedy baby is often "full" and indigestion when it comes to the New Year; Not to mention adults, it is rare to get together, and it is wine and smoke, playing cards, rubbing mahjong, and the work and rest are disorderly, and the body is poor.

Early in the morning, Dong Mei got up and shouted that she wanted to go to the street with her mother to buy ingredients and share housework for her father. Dong Sanbao saw that his daughter volunteered, so he was naturally happy, and the procurement in previous years was his own business.

Because there are nobles coming today, it is best for their mother and daughter to take care of other things. The dishes in Ruyi Town are more expensive, so the two went to Rufeng Town next door.

The nobleman in Dong Sanbao's mouth is actually Wang Zonggui's mother and son, Wang Zonggui's son never forgets Dong Mei, and alarms the tigress of the queen mother. Mr. Wang didn't care about his son's affairs, but he obeyed his wife's words, as if his wife was his neck and he was at his disposal. No wonder there is a book that says: "Men conquer women by conquering the world, and women conquer the world by conquering men", and the same thing happens.

In fact, this sentence has nothing to do with Mr. and Mrs. Wang, when Mr. Wang was young, he was interested in his wife's connections, and Wang's wife was in love with her husband's appearance.

The two stand together and are not a good match, Mr. Wang is tall and handsome, Wang's wife is fat and short, Mr. Wang is in the company, and Wang's wife is at home with a word.

For the marriage of her precious son, which is lower than that of the Wang family, the queen mother looks down on it, and a family like Dong Mei is not in her eyes. Because such a family is unprofitable for her, she has no money and no power, and she can't play the role of marriage. What is her heart and liver, she can't stand his entanglement, so she called Dong Fang to ask, and looked at Dong Mei's photos, and finally agreed to go to Dong Mei's house on the fifth day of the Lunar New Year to pay New Year's greetings.

Dong Fang was so happy that a gust of wind told the third brother that the three treasures were about to be like a kite with a broken string, and it had no direction. After the two were happy, Dong Fang said whether to tell the third sister-in-law, Dong Sanbao said no, it has been awkward recently, and it is good to hide it, otherwise I will tell Dong Mei again if I know it, I can't stand it. This thing is going to be done, but the glory of my Dong family, Dong Fang nodded again and again when she heard it.

Who knew that there were ears next door, Dong's mother happened to listen to it, pulled away, and told Dong Mei that night. Regarding Dong's father's smug look in recent days, the mother and daughter pretended not to see it, and lived their lives as usual, but they were thinking about how to deal with it.

Dong Meiniang purchased according to the menu, Dong Mei paid, the menu was opened by Dong Mei's eldest uncle, who was born as a chef, and the ingredients were much better than in previous years, probably because of the Wang family.

The vegetable farm in Rufeng Town is by the river, which is very large, covered with simple asbestos boards, supported by a steel frame below, and has to find a gap when parking.

The vegetable market is still neatly planned, bought and sold according to categories, Dong Mei buys the same and crosses out the same, and grabs the two sacks in her hands. The ground was wet, and in some places it was frozen, so you had to walk carefully so as not to slip.

The vegetable field is full of people, due to the ventilation, the wind blows the sound to that side, sometimes people go far away and will spread in the ears, like the sound insulation secret work, people are in a trance.

If you can save it, you can save it, no one is Chrysostom, the bargaining is endless, and Dong Meiniang has to say a few words when she meets an acquaintance. Dong Meiniang is good at bargaining, Dong Mei is good at calculation, plus shopping around, there is no mistake. Crabs, river prawns, soft-shelled turtles, yellow turtles, 。。。。。。 Most of the top gadgets in the vegetable market have been purchased.

After the purchase, as soon as Dong Mei and her mother were combined, Dong Mei called a car to send her mother home. Dong Sanbao saw that the ingredients were purchased, and when he didn't see Dong Mei, he asked, "Where is Dong Mei?"

"Missing something, Dong Mei went back to make up for it. Dong Meiniang replied casually. Dong Sanbao didn't care, he was thinking about other things, and he forgot about this stubble for a while.

The Wenzhu brothers were eating steaming steamed buns, and Wenzhu asked Wenhui if he would go to the party. Wen Hui wanted to go but didn't want to go, he was afraid that someone would say irresponsible things, after all, it was his brother's class reunion, and it was not interesting not to go to home, when he was hesitating.

Wenzhu's BP machine rang, and Wenzhu thought it was Chengbang urging, so he ignored it. Who knew that it would come again, "The ghost is reincarnated!" Wen Zhu bit the steamed bun and muttered, thinking that Chengbang needed his help with something. Hurriedly looked down, none of them were Chengbang, all of them were small. Wen Zhu was a little weird, he couldn't think of an answer, so he took a few bites, and went to the next door to borrow a phone and go back.

"Hey, Xiaoxiao, Happy New Year, what do you need me to do?" Wen Zhu said as he looked at the clock on the wall, which had not yet arrived at a quarter past eight.

"Teacher, Happy New Year! It's nothing, it's just that I'm bored at home, and I want to breathe in your place. Okay?" came a small wistful voice on the phone.

"Okay, it's just that the countryside is more primitive, don't dislike playing with you. What time will it be?"

"It's almost an hour, isn't it? How do you go? You say I'll remember it. "Little went according to plan.

Wen Zhu said briefly: "Go west along Longjin Road to Ruyun Town, go south through Ruyu Town, Ruxi Town, and stop at Ruyi Town, and ask where is the 'Qianlimei Garment Shop'? Where do we meet?"

"OK, see you in an hour. ”

As soon as Wenzhu closed the line, Wenhui asked about the situation, and Wenzhu said that Xiaoxiao was coming, so we would go to the street and wait.

Wen Hui suddenly came to his senses, changing his clothes and whistling in the mirror almost in one go, his movements were light, concise and bright, as if he was going on a date. Subconscious passion is an inexhaustible treasure, but this passion is hard to find, when will it explode, and who will ignite it?

If a person has never had such a passion in his life, then his life is equivalent to a trip to the world in vain, and if he has lived in this passion for most of his life, he must have made extraordinary achievements in a certain field.

Wen Zhu looked at Wen Hui's sudden fancy behavior and thought so.

Dong Mei looked at an inconspicuous corner, not daring to go to the store, for fear that her father would find her and catch her. Seeing that the Wenzhu brothers seemed to have seen a savior, jumping and waving their hands, Wenzhu was very surprised, so he asked why he came so early, but he didn't stay in the store.

Dong Mei said what happened, and when she talked about her pride, she couldn't help laughing a few times, which caused Wen Hui to praise Sister Mei as a rare woman in the world.

Dong Mei spoke very easily, and didn't feel a little wronged, as if this was a trivial matter, and no one else had to take responsibility, and occasionally showed off, which was also a true confession of love.

Although he didn't move the sky, Wenzhu felt that the sky was no longer cold, and he didn't feel that the ground was no longer frozen. Wenzhu felt that he was touched and hit, and there was a fire in his heart that needed the release of love. The nose is sour, and the eyes are a little moist, but I don't dare to show it too much, for fear that I won't be able to control it, so that the feeling stays between the nose and the eyes.

Dong Mei inadvertently held up a clear sky for love, Wenzhu sat back and enjoyed it, happiness is self-evident, and gratitude is self-evident.

If it was possible, Wen Zhu really wanted to hold Dong Mei and fly three lives in the sky above Ruyi Town to show his loyalty.

Cheng Bang's kid also arrived, and when he heard Dong Mei's hearty laughter, he asked why the car didn't stop? Wen Zhu hurriedly passed it like a microphone, and his nose was still sour when he passed it, and his eyes were still a little moist, and he couldn't get out of the whirlpool of happiness all at once, but his expression was weird, but he was in a good mood.

Cheng Bang laughed when he heard this: "Dong Mei, why is God so favored you, given you beauty, gave you wisdom, and gave you such a legendary and happy love." And you, Wenzhu, you stinky boy is really a blessing, I don't know what kind of virtue you have accumulated in your life, go back and see if the ancestral tomb is smoking. Look at your strength, excited and excited, stuttering?"

On the other hand, he squeezed Wen Zhu with his eyes, Wen Zhu told him that he was right, and the red spread like a cloud on his face. Following Chengbang's Yiwenzhu, he deliberately said with a big tongue: "I'。。。。。。 Knot...... Bar...... 。。。。。。No? Yes...... Ahh

At the same time, he stretched out his tongue to salute Chengbang, and the group smiled and went to the "Qianli Mei Garment Store".

On the road, Wenzhu said: "Today I have a student who wants to come to the countryside to play, it shouldn't have any impact." "By the way, I would like to briefly talk about the small situation. Cheng Bang and Dong Mei both asked, why didn't they say it earlier, so they could get ready.

Wen Zhu said that it was decided at eight o'clock in the morning, who should I talk to, I said that I would see you at the door of Dong Mei's store at nine o'clock, and now it is estimated that it will be almost there.

"One more person, one less person, not more pairs of chopsticks, it's not a big deal, follow the customs. It's just fun to think about it. Cheng Bang scratched his head and said, "By the way, what does her father do?"

"Real estate developers. Wen Zhu was puzzled.

Chengbang seemed to smell a business opportunity, but because he couldn't make up his mind, he was afraid that he would oppose it to Wenzhu, so he didn't say much.

The four of them stood at the door of Dong Mei's store, with Wenzhu, Dong Mei had the confidence, and she was not afraid that her father would find her, so she opened the door to greet Xiaoxiao, and the door was pasted with Uncle Wen's pair: "Business is prosperous all over the world, and wealth is prosperous up to Sanjiang." ”
