In the evening, Zhong Xiaoxian took Xiaoxue to Du Shaokang for dinner.

Du Shaokang, his iron buddy good friend, the two are from the same village, from primary school to high school, they have always been classmates, studying together, growing up together, good like brothers, but Du Shaokang's family conditions are more difficult, so he did not finish high school, Du Shaokang resolutely dropped out of school and came to the south to work alone.

But a brother is a brother, and he can't keep cutting it.

After graduating from university, Zhong Xiaoxian happened to come to the south, and the two met again in Jiangshui City.

When Du Shaokang first came to Jiangshui City, he worked in a large electronics factory, relying on his super ability, he became a small supervisor of the production line, but when the future was bright and he could be promoted at any time, he smashed the director's nose with a punch, and had to leave the electronics factory.

The name of the restaurant is Fenglingdu, which is a bit poetic and a bit of a river.

Just like Du Shaokang's people.

Fenglingdu is not big, up and down two floors, there is only one room on the façade, so the downstairs space is very small, only enough to put down the counter and two tables, the upstairs space is slightly better, a total of six tables are placed, although not big, but because it is close to the railway station, so the business is very good.

When Zhong Xiaoxian and Xiaoxue arrived at Fenglingdu, Du Shaokang was sitting alone by the window on the second floor drinking tea.

White T-shirt, white and clean, spotless, slender and slender fingers, clean like an office white-collar worker rather than a restaurant owner, it is hard to imagine that his main job as a boss is to help in the back kitchen, but his hands and face are not stained with any oil. His hair was dark, his eyes were bright, his expression was cold, and although his body was not very strong, he was as tall as a sword, and when he saw Zhong Xiaoxian, he had a smile on his face.

"Who is this?" When he saw Xiao Xue behind Zhong Xiaoxian, his eyes were slightly surprised.

When he looked at Xiaoxue, Xiaoxue also looked at him carefully, and her beautiful eyes blinked.

"Hello Brother Shaokang, my name is Li Xiaoxue, I am Zhong Xiaoxian's cousin, and I just arrived in Jiangshui City the day before yesterday!"

Without waiting for Zhong Xiaoxian to introduce, Xiao Xuejiao introduced herself first, her voice was so beautiful that it was intoxicating, while introducing, her beautiful eyes were shining, and she was looking at Du Shaokang very carefully, as if she wanted to see the bottom of Du Shaokang's heart.

Du Shaokang's eyes were full of surprise.

He is Zhong Xiaoxian's good friend, but he never knew that Zhong Xiaoxian also had a cousin.

"Don't doubt it, I'm his cousin, just like a fake!"

As if seeing Du Shaokang's suspicions, Xiaoxue giggled and blinked mischievously.

Du Shaokang's eyes looked at Zhong Xiaoxian, and asked with his eyes: Is she really your cousin?

Zhong Xiaoxian nodded affirmatively, and explained with a smile: "I'm surprised, in fact, I'm also surprised, but she is really my cousin, you know that I have an aunt, she is my aunt's own daughter." ”

Du Shaokang didn't ask much.

He is not a person who talks a lot, not to mention that there are some things that are inconvenient to ask in front of Xiaoxue.

After ordering a few dishes, the three of them sat down to drink tea and chat.

"Brother Shaokang, you are so handsome. Xiao Xuejiao smiled, and a pair of big watery eyes stared at Du Shaokang's face, feeling that she was very curious about Du Shaokang.

Du Shaokang said lightly: "How handsome am I, your brother is a handsome guy." ”

Xiaoxue pouted: "He's not handsome, he's just a toad!"

Du Shaokang smiled.

"Where's Zixin? didn't she come today?" Pretending not to hear Xiaoxue's mockery, Zhong Xiaoxian asked with a smile.

Gao Zixin, Du Shaokang's girlfriend, a very gentle and very beautiful beauty, works as a lobby manager in XH Hotel, and when she gets off work or rests, she will come to Fenglingdu to help.

"Just left. Speaking of Gao Zixin, the corners of Du Shaokang's mouth showed a gentle smile.

"Who is Zixin?"

Xiaoxue interjected and asked.

"You guess?" Zhong Xiaoxian deliberately sold Guanzi.

"I don't have to guess what I know, it must be Brother Shaokang's girlfriend, and she is also a super invincible beauty. Xiaoxue blinked and smiled, guessing very accurately.

"How do you know?" asked Zhong Xiaoxian with a pretended surprised smile.

"Do you still need to ask, Brother Shaokang is so handsome, his girlfriend must be a beauty too!" Xiaoxue said seriously.

Zhong Xiaoxian and Du Shaokang were both amused by her appearance.

The three of them chatted, in the past, when Zhong Xiaoxian and Du Shaokang were two, they were talking about either wine or women, today there is Xiaoxue, the topic is suddenly much more elegant, Xiaoxue kept interjecting and asking, asking where Sister Zixin works? When will she come? What is the fun place in Jiangshui City? Ask Du Shaokang what kind of tea is brewed? It smells so good?

In short, she had a lot of questions, and some of them were very naïve, as if she were a three-year-old child who didn't know anything.

Zhong Xiaoxian patiently answered her questions, not annoying at all.

Du Shaokang looked at them and smiled faintly.

Suddenly, there was a sound of footsteps, and someone ran up from downstairs.

"Brother Kang, those five people are here again, and they only ordered two dishes, and they looked like they were deliberately here to find fault, do you want to serve them food?"

A little waiter ran up and reported to Du Shaokang with a nervous face, his name is Zhang Jie, he is just nineteen years old this year, and he used to work in an electronics factory with Du Shaokang, because Du Shaokang took good care of him, and he admired Du Shaokang's style very much, he was simply a fan of Du Shaokang, so after Du Shaokang quit, he also resigned and came to Du Shaokang's restaurant to be a small waiter.

Du Shaokang's face was serious: "Of course we have to go, we are opening a hotel, and guests can't push them out of the door." ”

"But ......," Zhang Jie hesitated.

"Just go on it, and talk about it when you have something. Du Shaokang's voice was firm.

"Good. Zhang Jie nodded, smiled at Zhong Xiaoxiao, and went downstairs, his smile was nervous and worried, obviously the guests at the table downstairs were not good birds.

"What's wrong?" Waiting for Zhang Jie to go downstairs, Zhong Xiaoxian asked, he could see that something was wrong.

"In the past few days, the thugs on the street have been asking me for protection money, but I haven't given them to them. Du Shaokang explained lightly, while explaining, he lifted the teapot and poured himself a full cup of tea. His hands, dry and steady, poured out the tea, even like a line.

Zhong Xiaoxian understood, frowned and asked, "How much do they want?"

"I won't give as much as I want!" Du Shaokang picked up the tea, raised his neck and drank it dry, put down the teacup, and said with a firm look in his eyes: "My money is all dime a dime and a dime, so why give it to them?"

"Then they must be looking for something today!" Zhong Xiaoxian had a serious expression.

"Hmm. Du Shaokang nodded, and said in a cold voice: "I have inquired, there are seven or eight of them, all of them are some unemployed young people in the local area, and they think that wearing a black coat and carrying a knife in their waist are the underworld?

"I'll be with you. Without the slightest hesitation, Zhong Xiaoxian picked up the tea in front of him and drank it dry.

He didn't mention reconciliation, because it wasn't Du Shaokang's temper, and he didn't mention calling the police, because calling the police couldn't solve the problem, the reason was very simple, these gangsters blatantly charged protection money, and the police wouldn't know about it, but they didn't care, obviously, they were a nest of snakes and rats, and it was useless to call the police.

Du Shaokang is his best brother, the two were tacit partners in high school, regardless of you and me, they were never afraid of fighting, and they never let it. Today, Du Shaokang is in trouble, and he must not sit idly by.

Although he is a white-collar worker and does not look too strong, he is not bad at all when it comes to fighting skills.

Because when he was in high school, he was the king of fighting, and he was able to be admitted to a prestigious university, thanks to the extra points of sports.

The only thing I'm worried about is that once I get into a fight with the gangsters, will the business of the hotel be affected in the future?

Du Shaokang shook his head gently: "No, I can deal with it myself." ”

"I know you can handle it, but now that I've met it, I can't stand idly by. Zhong Xiaoxian's voice was firm, and he did not allow him to refuse.

Du Shaokang smiled and stopped insisting.

"Good brother!"

Xiaoxue suddenly blushed and applauded.

When Zhong Xiaoxian and Du Shaokang were talking, she looked at her with beautiful eyes and didn't say a word, but when the two finished talking, she suddenly became excited.

Zhong Xiaoxian and Du Shaokang were surprised.

But Xiaoxue's next move surprised them even more.

Because Xiaoxue suddenly learned from Zhong Xiaoxian's appearance, picked up the teacup in front of her, raised her neck and drank it in one gulp, put down the teacup, looked at Du Shaokang with a serious face, and said very seriously in her delicate voice: "I will also accompany you!"

Looking at her eldest husband's appearance, Du Shaokang and Zhong Xiaoxian both smiled.

The atmosphere was originally tense and solemn, but as soon as Xiaoxue said this, she felt a lot more relaxed.

"What are you laughing at?what??, can't I accompany you?" Xiaoxue asked with a blank expression.

"I don't need you to accompany me. Zhong Xiaoxian suppressed his smile and told with a serious expression: "You just stay upstairs, this little thing can be handled by the two of us." ”

"That's not good, I have to accompany!"

Xiaoxue shook her head like a rattle: "Who made you my cousin?"

"No!" Zhong Xiaoxian shook his head.

"Bang!"

At this moment, I heard a loud noise from downstairs, and heard someone slapping the table: "Where's your boss?

Du Shaokang wiped his hands with a napkin, got up and stood, and went downstairs expressionlessly.

Zhong Xiaoxian followed downstairs, he knew that the one who should have come had finally come, but he didn't forget to tell Xiaoxue: "Xiaoxue, stay here and don't move." ”

"Why?" Xiaoxue asked aggrievedly.

"No, I just can't go down. Zhong Xiaoxian straightened his face, and his voice was full of orders.

This was the first time he had spoken to Xiaoxue so seriously.

"Hmph. Xiao Xue snorted angrily in opposition, seeing that Zhong Xiaoxian's face was not good, she suddenly sighed, nodded obediently and said, "Okay, you are powerful, I will listen to you." ”
