Katsuko is actually surnamed Lee. His name was Li Sheng.

That's right, it's the same word as Li Sheng, and the pronunciation is exactly the same.

When the people around Li Sheng knew about it for the first time, they couldn't help but laugh. But Li Sheng and Li Sheng can't help this matter, who named it from their parents.

can only say that they are destined.

Li Sheng, like Li Sheng, is also an old capital. When they were young, they all lived in a compound. But the compound and the compound are not the same thing. Li Sheng lived in the compound of the army. Li Sheng lives in a large compound in the alley.

Rural people tend to envy people in the city, envy them for living in the city, having an urban hukou, and having a job. They don't know that in a big city, people and people are also divided into three, six, nine and so on.

There are those who have lived in privilege and wealth since childhood, and there are those who have been born struggling at the bottom of poverty. This can't be chosen, it depends on the reincarnation technology.

Katsuko's reincarnation technique is undoubtedly a particularly poor one.

He was born into a low-income family.

My mother was sick and bedridden all year round. Dad is a little weak on one leg and is a sanitation worker. There is also an elderly grandmother at home. The old and sick family all rely on his father's meager salary to support them, and in addition, there is only a little subsistence allowance every month.

Kokatsuko is not actually an only child. He actually has an older brother.

Katsuko's older brother is, of course, also surnamed Lee, and his name is Lee.

Li Li has been a somewhat sluggish child since he was a child, because when others call him, he often does not respond. People will laugh at him for it. His parents never thought to take him to the hospital. "Going to the hospital" is an expensive affair for the family.

It wasn't until later, when a physical examination was conducted in elementary school, that it was found out that Li Li was deaf in one ear. Born.

As a result, Li Li obtained a disability certificate, and the Li family had the index of having a second child.

More than 20 years ago, there was no concept of celibacy, the Dink family, or the world of two people without having children. The general public in this country believes that having more children is blessed. Everyone can't have more children because there are policies to manage and fines to hang. If you want to have free indicators, everyone will definitely be energetic.

So there was the second child of the Li family, and the word "win" was taken when choosing the name. In this way, the brothers together are "victory", although it is the opposite, it is also a good word.

Katsuko actually has a very weak impression of his brother. He was young then, after all.

What he remembered most vividly was that in the period before his brother's death, he suddenly became rich.

Suddenly, I came back with brand new clothes to wear, as well as medicine for my mother and supplements for my grandmother. Even for his younger brother, who is several years younger, he also has new clothes and new sneakers.

But compared to these, Katsuko is even happier that his brother has the money to buy him snacks! During that time, he clinged to his brother like a little pug, and looked at his brother pitifully. His brother led him to the commissary at the entrance of the alley, and the cow coaxed him to buy snacks.

Katsuko thinks his brother is too handsome when he pays for it.

Those days were really happy.

Then suddenly one day, his brother was gone. Shengzi suddenly became the only son of the Li family.

He didn't know exactly what was going on, but he probably knew that his brother was in trouble. This time the disaster was really big, and I lost my life.

A well-dressed man went to their house, talked to his parents and grandmother for a long time, and then left. Later, their family's economy suddenly became much more relaxed. Mom and Dad are no longer worried about not having money to get medicine.

At his age at the time, he knew what "death" was, but what the meaning of death was, he was actually ignorant, not really understood. He wasn't even too sad, but when his parents told him that he would never see his brother again, he cried sadly when he knew that no one was buying him snacks and new clothes.

It wasn't until later, when he was alone at home and had no one to accompany him, that he slowly realized what it meant to be "dead" and what it meant to "never see him again".

Slowly, this ignorant child really began to feel sad and sad about his brother's death. Carrying people behind his back, he secretly cried a few times.

But after all, he is young, he has his playmates, he has to go to school, he has to do homework, he has to watch cartoons, and he has to run around the alley with other children like crazy. Slowly, my brother's face blurred.

If he hadn't deliberately mentioned it, he would even have the illusion that he was born an only child.

When he was a student, he was in this state of free-range breeding, and he just mixed it up and graduated from high school.

Many college students feel at a loss as soon as they graduate and step into society. But in fact, every year, there is a group of people who are also new to society, but they are more at a loss than them. This group of people is high school graduates.

Graduated from high school, but didn't go to college. This group of people, their confusion and fear of society, far exceed that of college students, secondary school students, vocational high school students and technical school students. Because college students have academic qualifications. Technical secondary school, vocational high school and technical school students have a skill and a clear employment direction.

Only high school students are completely at a loss, completely unaware of the way forward, not knowing what they should do or what they can do.

There is no excesses and connections at all, and they are never allowed to dress up, play, or fall in love, as if they are separated from the world and society, and they are overturned from the bizarre world.

In Katsuko's confusion, Katsuko dragged her sick body and went to the street to cry every day. Crying every day, crying every day, I cried back to Katsuko for a job.

Katsuko went to work.

His job is particularly simple, which is to cut cotton yarn. A special pair of scissors, a large ball of cotton yarn, cut into small lumps according to the requirements. It is not okay to cut it too small or too big, it must be about the same size.

Wages are paid by the piece, and the cents are a lump.

Katsuko cut cotton yarn for a month, but because her hands were still alive, her speed couldn't go up, and she only earned a few hundred yuan. I woke up in pain at night and found that my right hand was spasming.

In the pain of not being able to sleep, Katsuko stared at the rudimentary ceiling with her eyes open. He was only eighteen years old, and he was extremely confused and desperate.

He knew it wasn't the life he wanted. But he didn't know how to achieve the kind of life he wanted.

The life he wanted was actually quite simple, like some of his neighbors who had moved away from the compound.

People who have known each other since childhood, gradually grow up and go their separate ways. Some families moved away from the compound. I don't often contact each other, but every year or two, the hair children also get together occasionally.

He's younger and hasn't participated before. But in the third year of high school, there was a party, just in time for the old cat who was still working as a special soldier to come back, and the old cat took him with him.

At the dinner table, he met a neighbor he hadn't seen for a long time, and he was much older. He could vaguely remember how he used to sit shirtless on the side of the road and play poker with everyone on summer nights, and later he sold clothes during the day and set up a stall to sell mutton skewers at night.

He remembered one time when someone crossed the border to collect protection money and beat him. He came back with black eyes and shouted, and the boys in the alley went with him without saying a word, and Katsuko also went that time. He was younger, his combat effectiveness was not good, his thigh was kicked blue, and he was hit with a stick in the back. But the guy drove them back anyway.

Later, the man entertained them to eat lamb skewers, and although Katsuko's legs and back hurt, they ate very deliciously.

I feel that I have spoken back to the righteousness of the rivers and lakes, and I have a sense of unreal belonging and mission that has found an organization. Who called it at that time, all I watched were Cheng Haonan and pheasants.

Katsuko feels that he can't be Cheng Haonan, but he dreams of becoming a pheasant. He longs for a Cheng Haonan-style big brother to appear, to know him wisely, and then take him to pretend to fly together.

Unfortunately not.

A few years later, he followed the old cat to meet the neighbor again at a party. He stopped selling lamb skewers for a long time and is said to have opened a restaurant. He came in a private car, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, and often deliberately placed his left hand on the table so that others could see the logo of the suit sewn on the left sleeve. It is a brand! The kind that is often seen in TV commercials.

At the dinner table, the neighbor pointed out the country and scolded Fang Xuan. When checking out, everyone was silent, only he waved his hand and said heroically: "Don't move, I'll invite you today!" ”

It's very chic!

The life that Katsuko wants is to be like him.

In fact, the salary of the old cat was very high at that time. The army is already well paid and welfare, and the old cat is still a special soldier, which is higher than others. The old cat's family, the original conditions are not much better than the Shengzi family, just because the old cat is good, and the life is much better than the Shengzi family.

Katsuko didn't understand why the old cat wasn't a little chic at this kind of dinner, and didn't talk about how good he was. Don't take the initiative to grab the bill from the neighbor.

If you don't buy it, you can look better if you grab it, and you have a long face.

But the old cat just didn't say anything. He eats quietly, drinks quietly, smokes quietly. Others don't respect him, and he doesn't take the initiative to clink glasses with others. Obviously at a dinner table, Katsuko wouldn't have noticed his existence if he hadn't gone out of his way to see the old cat.

Many years later, Katsuko's boss, Li Sheng, praised it, and he told Katsuko that it was a skill.

But the victor of the year, of course, didn't understand.

After cutting cotton yarn for three months, Katsuko finally despairs of this life. As an eighteen-year-old boy, he often felt like he was cutting his own life.

Katsuko was originally a clever person, but it was difficult to make decisions on major matters. But in despair, despite his mother's crying and scolding, he resolutely quit his job. He called the old cat in the army and cheekily borrowed money from him. The old cat asked him what his plans were, and he did. After the old cat heard this, he called him the money without saying a word.

The old cat used to have a very good relationship with his brother. Since he was a child, he has been called by Brother Cat and Brother Cat, and followed behind his ass.

Katsuko used the money she borrowed from the old cat to sign up for a driving school, learn to drive, and get a driver's license. A few months later, with his driver's license and the imperial capital's household register, he became a taxi driver. His mother, who was sick in bed, smiled happily.

Katsuko is glad that he is a native of the imperial capital.

Every place will have local protectionism, and the imperial capital is no exception. Taxi drivers, sanitation workers, shopping mall salespeople...... There are some jobs to apply for, and the imperial capital account is hardware.

Judging from a higher, nationally oriented perspective, this kind of local protectionism is, of course, unfair and unjust. But from the perspective of the lowest-level citizen of the imperial capital like Katsuko, this is the most powerful protection for the city, this government, and the class to which he belongs.

Let them not be left without food.

When Katsuko was a student, he looked down on outsiders. Because Katsuko is an old capital. The old capital, especially the kind in the hutongs, loves to look down on outsiders.

It wasn't until Katsuko left the campus and entered the cruel society that he knew that compared to hard work, sincerity, hardship, and hard work, he was ...... to those outsiders he looked down on Far from it.

Therefore, he is really glad that he is from the imperial capital and has an imperial capital hukou.

His reincarnation skills are incomparable to many people, but they are much better than others.

At that time, the imperial capital had just begun to rectify the taxi industry. The drivers just started to put on yellow shirts.

Katsuko wore a yellow shirt for a year, and he was used to such a life. Pull live, pick up customers, and be on the road at any time. In the summer, drink cold water in a large cola bucket, bring a cup in the winter, and put a hot water kettle in the trunk.

Better than his dad. His father worked as a sanitation worker, and he couldn't even drink hot water in winter, and his lunch was cold and cold.

The money he earns is better than that of his father. His parents were very happy with this.

Compared with the work of cutting cotton yarn until his hands trembled, he himself was satisfied. After all, he has fought and fought for his life.

At lunchtime, he and his colleagues would gather on a certain roadside. They eat and rest. Or lie in the car and squint, or spread newspapers on the sidewalk, and everyone plays cards in a circle.

His colleagues are older, and most of them have beer bellies. Undressed and bare-chested, some of them have breasts larger than women with A-cups. I sit in the driver's seat all day long, and when I go home at night, I am exhausted, and no one has the extra strength to exercise and stay in shape.

Katsuko is also relying on his youth, and he has not yet departed from the lean and lean adolescence without retaining fat, so that his figure can be eye-catching. But it is conceivable that in a few years, he will also have a belly like six months pregnant, and breasts bigger than a woman.

But Katsuko didn't think so much. He went on like this day by day, and he didn't think there was anything wrong with it. When soliciting, there are well-dressed passengers who go in and out of high-end office buildings or expensive fashionable restaurants. Katsuko looked at it and felt envious, but never felt that it was a world he could set foot in. After all, too far from his life.

Slowly, when I was a teenager in the second year of secondary school, the dream about Cheng Haonan and the pheasant was annihilated in reality in a short time after graduation.

Until, he met Li Sheng.

The man who changed his life.

At noon that day, he was sitting on the side of the road playing cards, and with a casual glance of his eyelids, he saw the man on the other side of the road.

At that moment, there was no feeling of turmoil and the heavens and the earth. He thought that man was special...... Special...... is that there is no one next to him, and he gives people a special feeling of standing out from the crowd.

How to say it, Katsuko looked at him for a while, and then realized that the man's body gave people a feeling of extravagance. In front of him, you will subconsciously converge.

At that time, Li Sheng was wearing a suit with a black coat on the outside, one hand in his trouser pocket, and a cigarette in the other. Across a not too wide motorway, quietly looking over here.

Katsuko suddenly remembered Brother Pony. He felt that this man would have to put a white scarf around his neck, otherwise, he would be a little brother.

Although it was across the road, Katsuko had a strange feeling. He felt the man was watching him. In this circle of people, he was looking across the road, and it was him.

Then the tall man threw the cigarette on the ground and crushed it. Shengzi thinks that his action is also very handsome, and it is also a bit like the feeling in Hong Kong films. Shengzi thought about this action in his heart, he went back to practice, and when he was proficient, he went to Yu Xiaolan to do it, handsome! Brother Cat can't look down on her, she doesn't want to think about it, take a good look at him right in front of her.

While he was thinking, the man crossed the street, walked straight up to him, and said, "I want a car." ”

He said to Katsuko, and he wanted Katsuko's car.

Each line has its own rules. According to the order of the queue, it is not yet Katsuko's turn. But when the man was in a circle of people and only saw Katsuko in his eyes, they didn't say anything inexplicably. In terms of momentum, it was suppressed.

That man is really extravagant.

They don't see many such men. Because such people, as a rule, do not need to take a taxi.

The man got into Katsuko's car, and he gave an address, far away. It's almost half a circle around the three rings.

On the way, Katsuko kept talking.

The love of chatting with taxi drivers in the imperial capital, being able to talk and being familiar with themselves, is famous all over the country. All of Katsuko's talent points seem to be on this. He's very self-cooked.

His chirping sound was always ringing in the car, and occasionally the man chuckled, or asked questions, or followed up. Along the way, Katsuko had a pretty good time. Chatting with passengers is also one of his joys in life.

Occasionally, he glanced in the rearview mirror and could see the man's narrow eyes looking at him through the mirror. His gaze was too sharp, making Katsuko feel inexplicably uneasy. He also saw a black Ben in the rearview mirror. As a full-time driver, Katsuko was still a little sensitive, and he suddenly realized that the Daben had been following him for a long time. Do you want to go to the same place? What a coincidence.

When he arrived at his destination, the man did not get out of the car immediately.

He said: "I am going to hire a life assistant recently, are you interested?" ”

He gave him a business card: "Call me if you're interested." Then he got out of the car.

The business card is very simple, just a name, a phone number. His name is Li Sheng, and he actually has the same name as him, and he died of laughter.

He wondered why there was no company on the business card, no title, no long list of landline numbers, extensions, and fax numbers. All the business cards he'd ever seen looked like this. He didn't know that there are many kinds of business cards, including business cards and personal business cards.

Katsuko was not interested in the proposal of this man named Li Sheng. Life assistants, it doesn't feel good to listen to it, like the kind of work that serves people. He knew that the south called this a horse boy, and to put it bluntly, he was an errand boy.

The people of the imperial capital, even those who live at the bottom, have strange arrogance. They are reluctant to do jobs such as babysitting, feeling that they are servant and inferior.

Katsuko casually put the business card in his hand and started in gear. When he walked to the intersection, he felt that it was a bit remote to walk forward, and he might not be able to pull anyone. He turned his head around and walked in the opposite direction. Naturally, he had to pass by the place where he had just dropped the man.

He subconsciously glanced over there. Across the road, he saw the black Daben that had been following him, stopped in front of the man named Li Sheng, and the driver got out of the car to open the door for him......

Katsuko was stunned.

Until the car behind ticked him with a horn.

When he got home, he kept thinking about the strange scene, and he had a strange feeling in his heart. He took out the business card again and looked at it carefully, Li Sheng, his name is Li Sheng.

Two days later, he decided to give Li Sheng a call. He thought, just go and see what happens, and there will be nothing to lose. As long as it's not a scammer or a pyramid scheme. If he dares to ask him to pay a deposit for the probationary period, or an ID card or something, he will walk away. He's not stupid, his usual entertainment is to read the newspaper in addition to playing cards. Those scams can't fool him.

The position of life assistant offered to him by Li Sheng is indeed as he thought, it is a bit similar to a nanny, and the requirements are particularly high, 24 hours on standby, on call.

Just looking at the content of the work, Katsuko is quite unhappy to do it. But when he saw the salary written to him by manpower, his heart was pounding, and he signed the contract without hesitation.

Piaoyu went home and told his parents that he was going to change jobs, with a very high salary. Mom and Dad thought he had been deceived and were so worried. Later, I heard that he didn't pay a deposit or deposit his ID card and household registration book, so I was relieved.

Since then, Shengzi has followed Li Sheng.

At first, I didn't get used to it, but I was quite tired. At three or four o'clock in the night, he slept soundly, and Li Sheng often called him up from the bed. At first, he would scold his mother in his heart, but then he slowly got used to it. Such a high salary is not given for nothing.

Katsuko's talent skill point, in addition to lighting up the branch of "self-cooking", also lights up another item, called "sensitive intuition". Or to put it another way, Katsuko is actually a very clever person.

His cleverness was impossible to play when cutting cotton yarn or opening a taxi, and it was not until he came to Li Sheng's side that he had a place to use.

He got along with Li Sheng very quickly. Mainly because of his cleverness, what he didn't do well the first time, he will definitely be able to do it the second time. Li Sheng was very satisfied with him.

Katsuko sensitively realized that his boss had been watching him during the initial period. Thankfully, he seemed to approve of him.

But recognition is not the same as satisfaction.

Li Sheng often instructed him on how to do certain things and what attitude some people should have. He pointed out his things, too much, which made Katsuko feel weird. He felt that a life assistant didn't need to learn so many things.

But Li Sheng is a particularly strong and domineering boss, and if he teaches him, he must learn.

Following Li Sheng's side, Katsuko's eyes were opened. Being a man and doing things, under the guidance of Li Sheng, has also made great progress.

This year, the old cat returned to the imperial capital and became a criminal policeman. As before, there are still a lot of things to keep secret at work, and it feels mysterious.

Katsuko's vision at this time no longer feels that rushing to pay at the dinner table or deliberately exposing the trademark on the sleeve of the suit is an enviable thing. But he still thinks the old cat is very bullish. The old cat is following it, and it is a real big case.

The old cat, in his own field, is really bullish. Later, Li Sheng also commented like this.

Katsuko chatted with him, and when he talked about his boss, the old cat was stunned for a moment.

Li ...... Flourishing? He muttered the name over and over again, thoughtfully, but said nothing.

He looked at Katsuko and could feel that he was different from before.

They went to the meeting together, and Katsuko took his car. He jokingly asked him why he didn't drive his boss's sleek supercars. Katsuko smiled: "It's boring." ”

How much ability, how big a face.

At the dinner, if everyone shares, Shengzi will honestly pay for it. If there is a local tyrant who wants to show off his wealth and swagger, he will thank him with a smile. It's simply low-key.

The old cat knows Katsuko's current salary level, and there are not many people who surpass him at this table. He was really impressed that he could converge like this. This is the simultaneous improvement of vision, cultivation and bearing.

The old cat knew from Shengzi's mouth that Li Sheng was indispensable.

Thinking of the name, the old cat still didn't say anything.

Shengzi followed Li Sheng and encountered something that made him even more painful.

Human resources actually informed him that the company had raised the entry standard, at least a college degree. Considering that he is already an active employee, let him go to the college diploma of a night college.

Katsuko is simply in a groove. He went to the manpower to wrestle, and the little girl of the manpower said, "What's the use of you telling me, you tell the boss to go." The rules are set by the boss. ”

As soon as he heard that it was Li Sheng's decision, Shengzi was even more painful. With his boss's personality, he felt that he might not be able to escape this catastrophe. But he was almost twenty-one years old, and it had been three years since he left school, and when he was asked to pick up his textbooks again, his scalp tingled just thinking about it.

Even when he was in high school, he wasn't a good student who loved to learn!

He decided to go to his boss to intercede.

"Hey, Katsuko!" The little girl of the man called out to him.

Katsuko was born with a good reputation and a sweet mouth. The little girl was already familiar with him. She looked left and right at no one, and whispered to Katsuko, "Don't be stupid. Let me tell you, this rule is set for you alone. ”

Katsuko looked confused.

The little girl hated iron and said, "You are so stupid! The whole company, even the front desk of Sissi, is a serious college degree. The few people in the office are embarrassed to meet people without a master's title. ”

"The whole company, except for a few drivers, you alone have a high school education! Drivers are not covered by this new regulation. But you're there! Because your title is 'Assistant'! The little girl made a categorical conclusion, "Don't you understand, this new rule is made for you!" ”

Katsuko's mouth didn't close for a long time. After a long time, he stammered, "No...... No...... Right? "What does his boss mean?

"You still don't understand, do you?" The little girl whispered, "Let me tell you, our manager said that the boss did it on purpose, just to force you to go to school." Don't be stupid, the boss has the heart to cultivate you. ”

But Lao Tzu doesn't want to be cultivated! Katsuko is bitter and can't say it.

He cried and mourned, thought about it again and again, but was still too afraid of going to school, so he went to Li Sheng, hoping that he would be gracious and sweep him into the "driver" pile.

"Don't want to learn?" Li Sheng lifted his eyelids and squinted at him. "And what do you want?"

Katsuko made his back tingle, and he said stubbornly: "I'll follow you, running before and after, isn't it good." Why do I need a college degree to do this? "Why do you want to eat?

Li Sheng exhaled white smoke: "Then you want to be like this for the rest of your life?" ”

Katsuko nodded hurriedly. With this salary for the rest of his life and regular salary increases, he really feels very satisfied and satisfied.

"Do you want to live for the rest of your life? Did you ask me if I would like to? Li Sheng sneered, "My personal assistant must be young, alert and energetic. How many years do you think you can be younger? Can you follow me for a few years? In a few years, my friends will be surrounded by young men, and I will be accompanied by a middle-aged uncle? Yes? That's what you mean? ”

Katsuko wilted.

Li Sheng took out a few pieces of paper from the drawer and threw them to him: "I'll give you two choices, you choose for yourself." ”

Katsuko knew that he was not immune, and his boss even planned a major for him. Shengzi, who was forced to go to Liangshan, chose the latter among the two majors of "human resource management" and "enterprise management" given by the boss.

Without him, I just think it sounds higher than the human god. Anyway, he is also chasing ducks to the shelves.

"You study hard. Don't cheat on my exams. I'm telling you, the most important thing is not the academic qualifications, it's what you learn. Li Sheng flicked the cigarette ash, felt that his morale was too low, and still released carrots to him.

He told him that he planned to get involved in business in a few years, and when the time came, he would be arranged to leave the position of "assistant" and really do something.

"You do a good job, I won't treat you badly." He looked at Katsuko and said.

The strange feeling in Katsuko's heart intensified.

What is that feeling? Katsuko just felt that the relationship between him and his boss didn't seem to be the feeling that a simple boss and employees should have.

He didn't really want to say it, so let's say it...... It feels a bit of a no-nonsense narcissism, and if it's not, it's too embarrassing.

But he told the old cat anyway.

"I always feel that my boss treats me as a little brother." He said, then explained, "It's not the kind of little brother who is a horse boy and a follower...... It's ......"

As he spoke, he felt a little embarrassed. "That's it...... Pheasant to Cheng Haonan's kind of little brother...... Brother kind of ......"

The old cat smoked a cigarette and looked at him quietly, his eyes a little unpredictable.

"Isn't that good?" He said calmly, "Then you treat yourself as a pheasant and treat him as Cheng Haonan." The pheasant has to listen to Cheng Haonan's words. You should listen to your boss. ”

Even the old cat supports it, and Katsuko is also out of line. Under Li Sheng's high pressure, he could only go to school with a numb scalp.

Li Sheng asked him for a class schedule.

Usually, Li Sheng summoned him, but day and night, he could call him around, and he would definitely not lose the salary he paid.

Ever since he started taking classes, Li Sheng had never called him during his class time.

Katsuko slowly felt something, and he felt that he might really have found his brother Haonan.

Li Sheng later told Gu Qingxia about the involvement between him and Shengzi, and he told Gu Qingxia not to talk to Shengzi, he said, Shengzi didn't know.

Even if he was as perceptive as Li Sheng, he didn't expect that at that time, Shengzi already knew.

For example, class reunions, or any kind of reunion, are usually initiated by the people who mix well among these people. He may even pay for it. The main purpose is to meet the psychology of showing off and showing off wealth to the old partners after the success of the career, and to experience the refreshing feeling of returning home.

It was the same with that meeting. The old neighbors, partners, and hair young, some have seen a few times over the years, and some have not seen each other for a long time. There are also people who still live together in the compound and see each other every day.

That time, the old cat went to the field to chase a suspect, but he didn't come. Katsuko went alone.

The ages of the participants varied, with the oldest and the youngest having a nine-year age difference. Katsuko is the second-to-last youngest, just one half a year younger than him.

At the dinner table, he reached for a teacup and was seen by the person next to him.

"Hey, we both have the same watch." The other party stretched out his hand to compare with each other, looked at it again and said, "Your workmanship is much more exquisite than mine, is it Xiushui?" Which stall? ”

Katsuko quietly withdrew his hand and said with a smile: "You have to go inside, some stalls are hidden deeply, but the things are good." There is a special lack of virtue, and good things are not taken out, but only sold to foreigners. ”

The other party scolded angrily: "Damn, worship foreign flattery!" ”

Katsuko smiled and agreed, but suddenly sighed in her heart. He lamented the change in himself. If he had encountered this situation three years ago, he would have told the other party with a smile on his eyebrows, what I wore was not the same thing as yours, I was genuine, genuine!

He will definitely be shy, will show off, and will use this big blow to make a.

But now he won't. He followed Li Sheng and saw too much. He learned to be restrained and low-key. At this time, he looked at the trademarks of some people's cuffs that were not removed, and the heroic way of paying, he didn't feel envious, and he no longer felt chic.

He sensed shallowness. He can't look down on this shallowness anymore. He now understands the old cat, who probably didn't look down on this kind of shallowness before.

So he never brags, and he doesn't rush to pay for it.

Many years later, Katsuko recalled that Li Sheng had given him a lot in those years, material, or otherwise. But what he gave him, it was stuck in a line all the time.

For example, the watch was a gift from Li Sheng on his birthday. It's not old, Li Sheng never gave him anything old that he used.

The price of that watch is exactly stuck on that line. It's a bit expensive for Katsuko, but it's not too expensive. He saves, saves, and can afford to buy. But the current situation of life decided that he would not be willing to spend this money to buy a watch. Or maybe he bought it, but he must feel distressed.

Another example is that he later bought a house. I didn't go to the bank for a loan, it was an interest-free loan made by Li Sheng's own company, and they were originally a financial company. To put it bluntly, it was Li Sheng who borrowed money from him.

signed for a period of 30 years, and the monthly repayment was directly deducted from his salary.

The amount is just controlled at a level that he can afford, but there will inevitably be pressure.

If he wants to buy those things, or relieve those stresses, he has to work hard and study diligently in order to be ...... Wage increases.

Li Sheng just grasped that line so carefully, giving him a lot, but not too much, so that he could afford it, but there was pressure.

His boss is well versed in people's hearts, knows the truth of Dou Mien's promotion of hatred, and knows that people's hearts are easy to be lazy and greedy. That's how he attracts and spurs him on. Forcing him to be motivated.

Katsuko later recalled those details, he drank with the old cat, and he got drunk and cried.

At that time, he was no longer allowed to stay by Li Sheng's side......

At that party, this conversation about the watch caught the attention of others. An older big brother couldn't help but sigh to the person next to him: "Time is so fast, in a blink of an eye...... Katsuko, Xiaoguang, are already so big. ”

As soon as this topic was ripped off, it resonated with a lot. The conversation turned to the people and things in the past. The people at this table do not have a common future, but they share many common memories.

The name Li Li was finally mentioned.

"Dali died unjustly! What a grievance! His 'big brother' then ran away! The gang is all gone! The people who went in later were all children who lived in our area! The man scolded, "Damn! ”

"Big bullshit! At that time, he was only a big child. I have watched too many Hong Kong films, and everyone thinks that they are the little horse brother Cheng Haonan! When you think about it, what a stupid thing! ”

"That's right, it's stupid! People have a background, people can afford to play, and people can afford to carry it. What do we have with these kids? There's a fart! As soon as something happened, they all went in! Ho Dawei! Remember? I live behind our house, the one to the west of your house, and I went in and locked up for a few years, and when I came out, I learned it completely. Later, it was drug use, drug trafficking, and now it's in again. I don't think I can get out. ”

"It's down! I still remember the name of that bastard! The man said hatefully, "Zeng Rong, Xu Chenghou, Zhao Tianzhuo, Ma Jingyu ......"

Those names, Katsuko not only knows, but even ...... There are a few of them, and they are extremely familiar. Every time he heard a name, his back stiffened!

When the man stopped talking, he stiffened his neck and raised his head, and asked with some difficulty: "Then my brother's 'big brother'...... Call...... What? ”

Katsuko knew that his brother had a "big brother". Because every time his brother gave him new clothes and shoes, he would tell him, "My eldest brother bought them." ”

He also knew that his brother could have money to buy him snacks because his brother's "big brother" gave him money. is also because of this, he followed his brother to the video hall to watch those Hong Kong films, police and gangster films, and Crazy Boy, he has a special sense of substitution. Because in his life, there is a "big brother".

The man suddenly rejoiced: "I almost forgot about that child." Katsuko, you can't imagine what his name is! "He's selling off.

Katsuko already had a hunch, and he was moved by a dry mouth and a faster heartbeat.

A person on the other side of the table suddenly laughed: "If you don't say it, I can't remember it!" Really! Katsuko, I'll tell you, it's very interesting! That kid has the same name as you! ”

"His name is Li Sheng, too!" He laughs.

No, no! You're mistaken! His name is not Li Sheng! My name is Li Sheng! Victory of victory!

His name is Li Sheng! Blooming bloom! Grand Event! Blooming!

Right! His name is Li Sheng!

Katsuko felt as if she had drunk high, and felt her brain dizzy.

Those subtle weirdness, all of a sudden, have an explanation!

I see!

He didn't find his brother Haonan, he was his own brother's brother Haonan...... I'm back looking for him!

On that day, Katsuko drank alcohol. The next day was his day off, and he could have drunk. But he followed Li Sheng and was on call twenty-four hours a day, and he was used to not drinking.

So he wasn't going to drink.

As a result, he got drunk.

The next day I woke up with a splitting headache. His grandmother kept nagging him and telling him to drink less in the future. She warmed the porridge for him and forced him to eat it, so as not to spoil his stomach.

He snorted and drank the porridge. Put down the empty bowl and look at the back of his grandmother cleaning up in a daze.

Suddenly, he asked abruptly: "Milk, do you remember my brother?" Actually, he really doesn't remember much. The memories of my childhood have long been blurred.

Grandma wiped away the dishes and chopsticks and replied, "Of course I do." Great profit...... Alas, Dali ...... "That's her eldest grandson, how could she forget."

", my brother...... How did you die? Katsuko asked. He didn't really know the truth all along.

Grandma sighed: "What else can I do, fighting with someone, making people stab." ”

"But I heard that my brother died because he blocked the knife." His gaze was cloudy. He doesn't remember, it's all his brother, his own brother. Blood is such a thing as indelible.

He asked with some difficulty: "You just ...... Don't you hate that kid? ”

"What is there to hate. He forced your brother to die? Great profit...... Even if you can be okay that time, you will have to do something sooner or later. The movements of the old man's hands slowed down and fell into memory. He has bad ears, and he especially hates that others look down on him, and he can't talk about it. Whoever dares to say anything about him, he beats someone. How hard he beat people, he was famous for living in the area where we used to live at that time. His ears are like that, and he won't be able to find any work in the future, so he probably will be mixed with society. It's a matter of time before you lose your life. ”

"But...... But ......," Katsuko felt a little bitter, and he couldn't help asking, "What if that is...... Let's meet that person again, that ...... The guy my brother gave him the knife, the ...... What to do? ”

Katsuko is a clever and discerning person, but when he encounters real big things, he can't make decisions on his own, and this kind of person is resourceful and not judgmental. To put it bluntly, it is not responsible. Katsuko himself also knows himself, so in his fantasy since he was a child, he thought that he could be a pheasant at most, and never thought of being Cheng Haonan.

Cheng Haonan, not everyone can do it.

But he didn't expect that after he asked this question, his grandmother stopped moving, turned her head in surprise and said, "You...... You got it? How do you know? ”

"! You? Katsuko was shocked. You...... You...... You know? ”

Grandma sighed, put the dishes and chopsticks on his bedside table, wiped her hands, and sat down on the edge of his bed.

"You changed jobs and came back to tell me that your boss has the same name and different words as you, called Li Sheng, blooming Sheng. I just knew. She sighed, "You were so young you don't remember." That kid has been to our house, I have seen him, and you have seen him. ”

Katsuko opened her mouth.

"Your parents were not at home at that time, and he followed Dali to come to see me. Hey, what a child, big bags of things to buy me, all of them are supplements. At first glance, it's a heart, it's really sensible! People teach their children so well at home. ”

"You were at home at that time, you were young, you don't remember. He also gave you money to buy popsicles for him, and he just teased you......"

With the old man's chattering memories, Katsuko slowly and really cleared the fog and retrieved that memory......

He remembered that he had really seen the "big brother". He really saw Li Sheng!

It was already autumn, and he and his brother were wearing school uniforms, fat and big, like big pockets. Li Sheng also wears a school uniform, but Li Sheng's school uniform is the kind of blazer, white shirt, plaid tie, plaid pants, and black leather shoes.

As soon as Katsuko looked at the school uniform, she knew which school he was. That school was in the second ring road, not far from his school and his brother's school, but there was a world of difference.

That school has elementary school to high school, and the city is focused. Their school uniforms, suit shirts, plaid pants, vests, ties, fur vests, short-sleeved shirts, short-sleeved sportswear, long-sleeved sportswear, and a full set of school uniforms cost more than a thousand dollars. At that time, there was no commercial housing at all, and inflation was not so strong. The money of that era was really valuable.

There are many children in that school, and they are all sent to and from school.

Later, the imperial capital was reformed and the nearby school was strictly implemented. In the first year, the card was very strict, so a group of children who lived nearby were lucky enough to enter the primary school of that school. When receiving a notice of the charge for school uniforms, some parents ran to the school to protest that school uniforms were too expensive.

The principal told others that he had been the principal of this school for more than ten years, and it was the first time he had encountered a situation where parents thought the school uniform was too expensive. He said: "Maybe the children of these families are not suitable for our school. ”

The hapless principal soon realized the charm of the Internet age. His imprudent words spread on the Internet, which caused dissatisfaction from many parents and great pressure from public opinion.

In short, at that time, Li Sheng wore a beautiful and handsome school uniform, and went to visit Katsuko's grandmother with a large bag of gifts. Don't look at him outside as a cool and handsome bully, in front of the elders, he is gentle and elegant, able to speak, and especially able to confuse people.

He also teased Katsuko and gave him ten yuan: "It's too hot, you help me buy a few popsicles, one for each of us." You decide what you buy, and the rest of the money is yours. ”

At that time, children were not as expensive as they are now, and adults led them everywhere, and they didn't dare to go out alone. At that time, children ran errands for adults, and then used the change as an errand fee, which was the favorite thing for children to do. And the "big brother" said that he decides what to buy, and the rest belongs to him.

Katsuko was very clever and bought the cheapest popsicle and left the most money for herself. Li Sheng and his grandmother both laughed, and Li Sheng also praised him for being smart. Only his brother was so angry that he fainted.

Later, Li Sheng left, and Shengzi bit a popsicle in his mouth and fled quickly in the alley. His brother chased after him, vowing to kick to death the brother who had disgraced him. In the end, Katsuko was kicked in the ass several times by his brother, but in the end he left those errand fees. His brother said, "What the eldest brother gave you is yours." So he didn't snatch the money.

Katsuko's butt hurts, but she is also very happy.

These vivid memories come out of the depths of the brain and are vividly projected in the mind like a movie.

He had forgotten about it. It turned out that he had really seen Li Sheng! In my memory, the school uniform fit closely, and the face with narrow eyes that bent when he laughed finally overlapped with his boss's long, narrow-eyed, sharp-eyed face.

What is this? Fate or sin?

"The boy heard that he had gone abroad later. As soon as you come back, I will know that he may have come back from a foreign country. ”

"When he came back, he came to you and offered you such a high salary, and I understood."

"He's a child with a heart...... Dali calls him brother, not in vain......"

"But ......," Katsuko said, "but ......"

"Nothing." Grandma said calmly, "He wasn't the one who stabbed your brother to death." The kid who stabbed your brother to death was given a suspended death sentence and is still in prison. That's the one our family should hate. Li Sheng...... Although he left, someone from his family came later and gave our family a large sum of money. In fact, people don't give it at all...... But they still gave it. In those years, it was all thanks to that money that our family was better. It's a pity that your mother and I are two medicine jars, drinking soup and taking medicine every day, but we can't get in and out, and we still spend it in the end. ”

"But look at what our family is doing now, look at this house. You have no interest on this loan. To put it bluntly, it's someone who lends you money. Do you know how much interest is on the loan to their family? In 20 years, the interest money is enough for a house. ”

"Katsuko......" Grandma looked at him and said, "this is your brother...... You will be blessed with the blessings you have accumulated...... You know? ”

Katsuko's heart has finally settled down. He figured it out.

Once upon a time, his life was dark, and he didn't know where the road was. Later, Brother Hao Nan came back, grabbed him by the arm, and kicked him, kicked him, and scolded him in the back, and almost whipped him with a small whip. But he was rushed to a big road. He paved the way for him. He just needs to not slack off and walk in the direction he is pointing to. The sky is clear and the sun is shining.

He figured it out, and from then on, he was dead set on Li Sheng.

Just like his brother.

The old cat later had a girlfriend, and she was very beautiful, especially when she was wearing a uniform, which made people easy to be cranky.

Yu Xiaolan can't compare with others at all. But now Shengzi hasn't seen Yu Xiaolan much since he bought a house. And slowly, he didn't think Yu Xiaolan was so attractive to him anymore. Although he doesn't have a girlfriend yet, he also wants to find a more beautiful one.

But a beautiful woman is really a tricky physique, and Katsuko didn't expect it to be like that in the end. The old cat not only lost his girlfriend, but also lost his job in public office.

It was the first time Katsuko had seen an old cat so decadent. It's just like that.

But Katsuko knew that the old cat was a capable person. He couldn't just watch him fall. He then asked the old cat if he would like to work with his boss, and if he had the heart, he would ask his boss.

But he said it in front, and the work he might do at that time was a little miscellaneous and a little ...... That one. After all, the old cat used to be a policeman, and he was worried that he might not be able to accept it.

But when people fall, there is nothing that they can't accept.

The down payment of the old cat's house has been paid, and the loan will be approved in half a month, and then it will face great financial pressure.

He originally wanted to get the key and tell the police flower to surprise her, but he didn't expect to make people worse.

Katsuko then recommended the old cat to Li Sheng. Li Sheng had heard this person from Katsuko's mouth before.

Katsuko took the old cat to see Li Sheng.

The old cat saw Li Sheng's long and narrow eyes, which gradually overlapped with the young man in his memory. Li Sheng's eyes moved slightly, and he said to Shengzi: "You go out first, let's talk." ”

When Katsuko left, he asked the old cat, "Have you seen me?" ”

The old cat is slightly cold, he is just so flickering. This person...... It's really sharp.

He had really seen Li Sheng. At the mouth of the alley, he met Dali and his "big brother", Dali greeted him warmly, and hoped that he could get to know his "big brother". Dali has always hoped that the old cat can go with him to worship the big brother. But the old cat's family controls him strictly, and he is not allowed to mix with those "bad boys". The old cat himself was a little disdainful of those children, so he nodded and said hello, and went on his own. Let Dali disappoint himself.

But that child is the "big brother" who has been mentioned countless times, so the old cat still looked at him seriously, especially remembering his narrow eyes.

And the old cat is a thoughtful person with a super memory.

So when Katsuko told him that his new boss was named Li Sheng, the blooming Sheng, he had already recalled the young man with long narrow eyes carrying a big bag at the mouth of the alley.

He just didn't say it.

He confessed to Li Sheng: "I met you when I was a child, and it was the time you went to Dali's house. ”

Except for Dali's grandmother and Katsuko when he was a child, Li Sheng doesn't remember seeing anyone else. He nodded and said, "Okay." But don't tell Katsuko. He doesn't know about me and Dali. ”

The old cat promised.

He later followed Li Sheng.

It's not just because of money, but after Li Sheng returned to China, he brought Dali's younger brother Shengzi to his side. The incident itself had already convinced the old cat before he met Katsuko.

This is someone worth following.

The old cat is not as attentive to Li Sheng as Shengzi, but he can also be called loyal.

Later, Gu Qingxia gave Li Sheng a green hat, he didn't jump like thunder like Shengzi, but he was also very, very angry.

And he couldn't find out who the adulterer was, which made him extremely unwilling in addition to his frustration.

At Katsuko's instigation, he disobeyed Li Sheng's instructions and got a bugging device for Katsuko. Katsuko installed the bugging device in Gu Qingxia's living room.

Finally, one day, the old cat finds Katsuko and listens to a recording for him.

【Small ...... Xiao Xia, is the one in your belly my baby? 】

[Xiao Xia, you tell me the truth! ] 】

[This is my own child, and it has nothing to do with you! 】

[Nan Siwen! Let me go! 】

Katsuko's face turned green when she heard this! "Who the hell is this man?" , he gritted his teeth.

"Nan Siwen, a newcomer who has been supported by Nancheng Lao Wang in the past six months." The old cat said.

Nancheng Lao Wang is Boss Wang's nickname on the road. This was not his own, it was from his former opponent, with some ridicule. The imperial capital is known as rich in the east and expensive in the west, and the north is developed later, and it has also risen. Only the southern city is still in tatters. Boss Wang was born in Nancheng, and this nickname has a strong sense of ridicule, but to this day, absolutely no one dares to call him that to his face anymore.

The old cat took out a piece of paper from the document bag: "Before he was with Lao Wang, he was a crane driver, and he was on the construction site...... At the time of the incident...... He ......"

The old cat's tone was also quite strange: "At that time...... He...... I haven't messed with Lao Wang yet, I'm still a ...... Crane driver ......"

Katsuko's face is no longer green, but as weird as a palette.

So his boss is handsome and dashing, and he Gu sister steals a man and steals a migrant worker?

Katsuko stared at the old cat deadly, hoping that he would tell him that what he had just said was just a joke. Otherwise, his eggs would not only hurt, but would have exploded.

The old cat looked away.

This woman's brain circuit, he also thinks...... It's so weird that it's incomprehensible.

"You just know it. Don't come nonsense. He instructed Katsuko, "The boss said, the most important thing is to let her give birth to the child safely." Until then, don't mess around. The boss naturally has his own plans. ”

But at that time, Li Sheng hadn't run away yet, Katsuko thought to himself. It took him several years to come back, so was he so aggrieved for several years?

Katsuko couldn't swallow this breath no matter what. After all, he didn't listen to the old cat's persuasion.

He wants to do things behind Li Sheng and the old cat, of course, he can't use Li Sheng's people. He went back to the alley to find someone.

They are all eighteen, ninety, twenty-year-old children, so crazy that they don't know how old they are. Shengzi promised a lot of money to abolish Nan Siwen's leg.

In fact, a long time ago, the old cat warned him not to fool around with those children in the alley. At that time, Katsuko was also this age. Dali is so no, the old cat is very afraid that something will happen to Shengzi. The kind of boy who is half the size and not too small, when he really starts to move, his brain is hot and congested, and he is reckless.

It's a pity that Katsuko didn't listen.

The result was really just like what the old cat said. As soon as the brain is congested, it is reckless.

The man was so powerful that they pulled out their knives. I didn't expect a woman to rush up later. As soon as the woman stretched out her hand, she knocked down a man. In fact, they didn't see how she brought down the man. The night was dark, and in that case they were already red-eyed, and instinctively thought that the woman had stabbed their companion with a knife.

So someone stabbed the woman.

Gu Qingxia fell.

Hearing the news of Gu Qingxia's death, Shengzi was stiff and cold.

He knew that this time, he had caused the biggest disaster in his life. It could kill him.

He has no master, so he can only go to the old cat. When the old cat heard this, his face turned pale.

"What are you going to do?" He asked.

"I ...... I ...... "Katsuko has lost her soul," and I called my boss...... Tell him ......"

"Do you want to die?" The old cat squeezed sound out between his teeth.

Lao Mao and Shengzi both know how much Li Sheng loves Gu Qingxia. He's real, he's going to kill Katsuko. At this time, it doesn't work to bring out big profits.

Li Sheng has always repaid kindness and revenge, and there is a clear distinction between love and hate.

"You wait!" The old cat said. "Tell Xiaoguang that no one should run, just wait to be caught. As usual, what to do! ”

The old cat made a few calls and went out. He activated his old contacts at the police station and worked overnight.

In order to protect Katsuko, the old cat covered the sky with one hand, turned the clouds and rain, and concealed this matter. He made all kinds of clues, so that everything pointed to Zhang Shun, who was already on the same page as Nan Siwen.

This concealment was concealed from Li Sheng for 18 years.

Eighteen years later, when Katsuko knew that Li Sheng had gone to see the little girl, he finally couldn't stand it anymore.

He went to find the old cat, and he said that he wanted to confess to Li Sheng.

The old cat tried to stop him.

"You let me go! You let me go! If he wants to kill me, you will let him die!" "Katsuko said and cried!" Look what kind of life he's been living all these years! I feel so bad! I feel bad, you know! ”

Eighteen years have passed, and he and Lao Mao have married and had children, and they are happy.

Li Sheng, who has not married so far, is alone.

Gu Qingxia's death gave Li Sheng a great stimulus. He finally confessed his drug use to his father and brother.

His father and brother were furious. Li Hui, the patriarch who had not made a move for many years, finally made a thunderous move.

The social circle of the youngest son and the two grandsons has been sifted through. Subsequently, among their friends, there was news that some people's parents or grandparents had fallen from power or been subject to shuanggui. Those people disappeared from the social circle of the descendants of the Li family.

Then there were two more people around Li Sheng. Personnel will change at a fixed time, but there are always two people who follow Li Sheng like a ghost.

They were ordered by the Li family and did not follow Li Sheng's instructions. The only duty is to isolate Li Sheng from drugs.

With the help of his father and brother, Li Sheng finally quit his addiction completely with great perseverance.

Six years later, the rumors passed, and everything was smoothed out. Li Sheng returned to China and began to get involved in industry, accumulating huge fortunes and building his empire.

But his former friends knew he had changed. He has never married, is not close to women, and lives a puritanical life.

For his life, there is no better than Katsuko who has always been by his side.

Katsuko has always been more than clever and not tenacious. This incident has been putting him under tremendous psychological pressure for many years. Finally there was the last straw that crushed him.

He finally knelt in front of Li Sheng and explained the matter.

Li Sheng, who learned the truth, remained motionless like a sculpture and was silent for a long time.

Later, he looked at Katsuko and said slowly: "You should be grateful to the old cat, it took him eighteen years to save your life." ”

This year, Li Sheng expelled Li Sheng, who had followed him for many years, from his side.

At this time, Shengzi already had some of his own industry. He is not a rich man, but he is also a rich man. Leaving Li Sheng, he lost his backer, but he could still continue to live a rich life.

It's just that for Katsuko herself, the meaning of this is very different.

Later, Katsuko confessed this matter to Li Sheng, and deeply regretted it.

He didn't regret losing his backer because of this. Instead, he finally figured it out later, and he confessed the truth of the matter and gained spiritual relief.

On the other hand, the crime of "killing Gu Qingxia" has been ...... since then will be with Li Sheng for the rest of his life!

For Shengzi, this is a greater sin than he killed Gu Qingxia.

His remorse is indescribable. However, in the world, there is never regret that the medicine is sold.

Therefore, in this life, people really can't take a wrong step or make a wrong thought.

All causes will be results.

All effects have antecedents.
