After three difficult days in the guest house, Li Chengsheng and Zhu Guoying finally brought the news they wanted to know, and the number of glasses that Li Chengsheng could give him was 3,700 pairs per month, and the unit price was 6.48 per pair. As for the purchase price, it is paid at 20 per cent, 40 per cent and 40 per cent as before.

On the other hand, Zhu Guoying inquired about it, and the matter started with two people, one named Li Zhengrong and the other Wei Tieliang.

Li Zhengrong's father is Li Ting, who is currently the deputy secretary of the Yangcheng Municipal Party Committee (at that time, this position was called the deputy director of the Revolutionary Committee), was born in the Northwest Field Army and was once one of General Peng's favorite generals.

He has four children, three boys and one girl, Li Zhengrong is the youngest one, the tide of the Cultural Revolution hit, Li Ting was knocked to the ground overnight, several children also became puppies, and when the movement to the mountains and countryside was launched, his eldest son, second son and three daughters were sent to the border of the motherland, leaving only one Li Zhengrong, entrusted to Li Ting's original guard, named Wei Heng to take care of, Li Zhengrong was only eleven years old at the time.

Wei Heng is a native of Yangcheng City, he has a son, that is, Wei Tieliang, the same age as Li Zhengrong, the father of the two is a subordinate relationship, the two of them are of the same grade, they have been very good friends since childhood, and when Li Zhengrong was fostered in Wei Heng's family, the two are inseparable, like brothers.

Ten years have passed in a flash, and the two little dolls have grown into young and strong men, Wei Tieliang and Li Zhengrong saw that life at home was becoming increasingly difficult, and the second elementary school began to learn the kung fu of abduction and deception, when Wei Heng was sent to a factory security department to work, these two little guys often took advantage of the old man's work to steal things in the factory, one was to exchange money to satisfy hunger, and the other was to supplement the family; The most ferocious time was to rummage into the factory's commissary, open the cans on the shelves and make them all the time. When the staff on duty opened the door the next morning, there were scattered canned fruit bottles all over the floor, and the residues of various star fruit, apples, pears, and pineapples were even more ruined.

There was a fury in the factory about this, which was considered to be 'sabotage by the class enemy' in a particular era. Therefore, the security department was ordered to investigate strictly, but no one would suspect the two underage children, and the matter was closed. When they grew up, Li Zhengrong and Wei Tieliang went to the countryside to Gansu (Su) in 1971, when they graduated from junior high school, and stayed until 1978.

Yangcheng is the most important town in the south, and the provincial party committee and provincial government of Guangdong Province are all located here. At that time, the number one leader of the provincial party committee was Xi's father (no need to specify), and the number one leader in the city was the famous Yang Shangkun. Of course, Li Ting's qualifications cannot be compared with the two, but his personal relationship is very good. After the end and resurgence of the Cultural Revolution, Xi's father recruited Li Ting to his side as soon as possible and became the third-in-command of the provincial capital.

After settling down, Li Ting first picked up the four children who were suffering in other places, and then went to Wei's house in person to thank Wei Heng for raising his young son. And said in the words: I must repay this kindness! I can't get enough of it. Let Li Zhengrong continue to repay the favor! At the same time, let Li Zhengrong recognize Wei Heng as his godfather, and become brothers with different surnames with Wei Tieliang.

Li Zhengrong has a very good relationship with the Wei family, even more than with his biological parents; Among them, especially Yi and Wei Tieliang, the two of them are really like brothers, even after he entered the university, he still maintained the closest contact with the Wei family.

After Wei Tieliang returned to the city. did not continue to go to school, but went to society, the two of them grew up with Wei Heng since childhood, they both practiced good kung fu, and each other was at such an age. Fights and brawls have become commonplace, Wei Tieliang knows that he has Li Zhengrong and Li Ting above him, and he is not afraid that someone will dare to take care of him, so when he fights with others, he lets it go, which is quite ruthless; Soon, he became a well-known figure in Yangcheng City, and many brothers gathered around him.

Li Zhengrong went to college in Yangcheng City, and he didn't live in school on weekdays, after school and holidays, he was messing around with Wei Tieliang and these people under him, Li Ting scolded him a few times, but after all, he didn't use it, and the old man also felt embarrassed, he always felt that because of his own reasons, he made a few children suffer, and now that he is back, can he still mention his life every day? The other three children who were willing to go to work found the factories they liked, and those who were willing to join the army joined the army; There is only one Li Zhengrong left, and he can't do it at both ends, saying that he doesn't listen at all - he is Lao Tzu, and he is not as good as Wei Heng!

But not long ago, Li Zhengrong came to his father in a rare way and asked for only one, asking him to transfer some clothes for export from the Second Commercial Bureau through his connections, and he wanted to trade these things. Li Ting was shocked when he heard this, "How can this be done?" The state has a policy, what do you eat, and you also want to do business? ”

"Dad, you don't care. It's my business, and you can just give me a note? ”

"No, I'm going to make a mistake."

Li Zhengrong didn't say a word, he fell to the ground and rolled, in short, he didn't take the strip from his father's hand, it wouldn't work! In the end, Li Ting had no choice but to agree to him.

****************************************************

Zhu Guoying smiled bitterly as she spoke, "Xiaoxiao, do you understand now?" ”

"Understood." Lu Li nodded, he didn't think there was anything remarkable, but he had a good impression of this Li Zhengrong, his experience was a little similar to his own, he was also fostered in someone else's home, and he also had a good buddy who could trust his life, and he also had a good kung fu, so counting, there are really a lot of similar places?

"Tiny? I'll talk to you. ”

"Ah, Brother Ying, what did you say?"

"What about me, I found this Li Zhengrong and Wei Tieliang through relationships, there are some things I can't say clearly, but the meaning has almost been reached; What about them, although they don't dare to say anything, but I can also see that they are reluctant to buy it, especially that Wei Tieliang, who has a Cantonese accent, obviously speaks Mandarin, and deliberately pretends not to understand, grandson! ”

“…………”

However, Li Zhengrong said that it is best to say this matter in person, and both sides can put forward whatever they have to say. Therefore, it is set today, in the home of the Wei family Huanghua. I'll take you and meet them. ”

"Okay," Lu Li said with a smile, "Brother Ying, thank you very much this time." ”

"Don't say such things, you and Brother Hua are friends, and they are my friends. Not to mention that we are friends in the first place, so we should help each other! Besides, I'm angry when I see these brutes, fuck it, it's not pleasing to the eye! Zhu Guoying muttered and scolded, "They all look like no people, and they are still filled with large cloves of garlic?" ”

Lu Li didn't understand why he was so angry, but after thinking about it, he understood a little. "Brother Ying, for my sake, let you also be wronged, I really don't want to go."

Zhu Guoying didn't want his brain to turn so fast, he guessed the point in one sentence, and smiled at the moment, "Forget it, it's all for friends!" ”

The car went all the way. Finally arrived at Huanghua, which is not a short distance from the center of Yangcheng. It was in the afternoon, and the men and women who had returned from work in the fields were carrying all kinds of farm tools, wearing pointed hats on their heads, and speaking Cantonese that they did not understand at all, and walked towards their homes, "We have also arrived." Get off here. ”

Zhu Guoying took Lu Li along the muddy dirt road and walked quickly, not far from the street is the Wei Mansion, push the door straight in, the space inside is quite large, and the patio is a hall house. There were a few people talking in Cantonese, chattering, anxious and chaotic, and Lu Li couldn't understand a word, "Huh? Brother Zhu is here? ”

A bronzed-skinned man stood up from his stool and walked out of the hall quickly, "I'm sorry, I didn't pay attention, I didn't pay attention. ”

"This is Li Zhengrong." Zhu Guoying introduced him and squeezed out a smile, "We came early." Xiao Li, to introduce to you, this is Xiao Lu, Lu Li. ”

Li Zhengrong is taller than he imagined, only half a head shorter than Lu Li, he was born with a straight nose and a square mouth, but it is not ugly, "I heard Brother Zhu mention it, hello, I am Li Zhengrong." ”

"I'm Luley."

Six or seven more people came out of the hall, and the leader was a typical southerner man, a lot shorter than these three, with bronzed skin, sunken eyes and a convex chin, and no hair on his face or head, bare like a big egg; A pair of small yellow eyes, wearing a cardigan gown, deliberately open his arms, revealing a sturdy body, "............"

"This is my brother and my best friend, Wei Tieliang. Iron beam, this is Luli. ”

Wei Tieliang was born with a fierce look, slightly bared his teeth outward, and stretched out his hand to Lu Li. Luli shook hands with him, and both used their strength at the same time.

Zhu Guoying was stunned, and secretly said that it was not good! The last time he came, Wei Tieliang deliberately found fault and had a fight with him, Zhu Guoying has been in the army for many years, and he has also practiced the corresponding routines, but it has been put down for too long, and it may be that he really can't compare with the other party. Although it does not cause any real harm, it is inevitable to lose face. He didn't know that Lu Li knew kung fu, he just thought that he was going to suffer a loss, and he was waiting to be dissuaded, but he found that the situation was not like that?

The strength of Lu Li's hand gradually tightened, Wei Tieliang obviously didn't expect that this young man who looked weak would have such a lot of strength, and repeatedly retracted his strength, but the other party didn't seem to react at all? This made him a little unsure, and at this moment, Luli let go of him, "I heard Brother Ying tell me, you should be one year older than me, I am 58 years old, a dog, what about you?" ”

"I'm 57 years old, I'm a chicken, bigger than you." Li Zhengrong can also be regarded as a practitioner, and it can be seen that the best buddy may have suffered a loss, otherwise, with his character, he will never let the other party say let go and let go! "Come on, come in and sit, come in and sit, oh this weather, it's so hot! I heard Brother Zhu say, are you from Tianjin? It's not that hot over there, is it? ”

"Yes, and the heat is secondary, and the main thing is that there seems to be a lot of humidity here."

"That's right, that's it, I always feel slimy. Unless it's someone like me or Tie Liang who has lived here since childhood, people who are new to it will feel unaccustomed. Li Zhengrong said with a smile: "Speaking of which, it feels better on Wuwei's side, it's hot when it's hot, and it's cold when it's cold!" ...... here," he smiled and shook his head, no further ado.

A girl came out with a kettle and poured water for Lu Zhu and the two, and a burst of sweet and sour aroma hit, "This is herbal tea, my mother-I'm sorry, you may not understand, it's what my godmother means--made by herself, this is the ancestral inheritance of their Wei family, it is said that it is what is passed down to daughters-in-law, it is best to drink this kind of thing in such weather, and it will relieve the heat and defeat the fire." ”

Lu Li took a sip of it, sweet and sour, no different from the sour plum soup made by his aunt in the summer, and he couldn't taste how comfortable it was, "I listen to you, it seems that your ancestral home is not a local, right?" ”

"Yes, my ancestral home is Yu Province."

Lu Li was a little speechless, this Li Zhengrong looks gentle and elegant on the surface, but in fact there is a wall between the two people, their conversations are going on across the wall, if they can't break the barrier, they will fall in second place today, but I am afraid that there will be no chance in the future! How do you open up the situation? He pondered for a moment, and suddenly his eyes rolled and he had an idea!

He picked up the herbal tea and took a sip, "On the way here, I heard Brother Ying talk about it, this ...... The old man of the Wei family, what a man, I came to the door on the first day today, can you let me meet the old man? (To be continued......)
