Chapter 37 New Year

The New Year's holiday can finally rest for a while, Zhao Izui's life is extremely comfortable, he has been in Xi'an for so long, Zhao Izumi has not been so easy, reading books and newspapers during the day, chatting and farting, and at night Han Sanqiang They kept vigil to let Zhao Izumi sleep. Zhao did not shirk it, and after waking up at six o'clock in the morning, he first went to walk under the city wall and then changed shifts, not daring to be too lazy, and maintained no more than seven hours of sleep.

The smell of the New Year on the street is getting stronger and stronger, the flow of people in the major shopping malls is full in the last few days, the luxury cars at the entrance of the International Trade Spring Plaza are lined up, when the lights are on, the red lanterns make the city a sea of red, and in an instant there is a feeling of dreaming back to the Tang Dynasty, the only big difference between the New Year in the big city and Phoenix Village is to restrict the setting off of firecrackers, and the children in Phoenix Village have already played in the snow at this time in the past. Cannonballs, but occasionally at night on the South Gate construction site, you can still hear a few naughty children's firecrackers.

Hu Feng took the train back to northern Shaanxi at noon on Tuesday on the 28th of the lunar month, and He Ping continued to stay at the construction site, he has been in Xi'an for the New Year for the past two years, and found a girlfriend from a village near the third ring road in Xi'an. The city is developing faster and faster, the transformation of urban villages in Xi'an and the overall relocation of nearby villages have created a group of rich people, all day long Zhao Izumi can hear He Ping tell them that they will be demolished to his girlfriend's village immediately, and the mother-in-law and mother-in-law are urging them to get married, so that the demolition can be counted as one more person, and one more person means that there may be more than a house of hundreds of thousands of yuan, this is an alternative counterattack in this era, but unfortunately all this has nothing to do with Zhao Izumi, Zhao Izumi cannot and will not daydream like this.

Reading history makes people wise, recently Zhao Izumi began to read "Historical Records", most of the books put by the old lady are ancient texts, jerky and difficult to understand ancient texts Fortunately, Zhao Izushi followed the old monk to learn a lot, otherwise he is a kind of animal who has followed the man to study for a few days, it is estimated that nine out of ten sentences do not understand, "Historical Records" Zhao Izumi is relatively understanding, the old monk has a whole two boxes of books, it is said that when the old monk escaped into the old temple in the mountains opposite Phoenix Village, in addition to bringing some shabby clothes are these two boxes of books, including "Historical Records" This kind of legendary masterpiece, when the old monk was interested, he would read a paragraph to Zhao Izui, but it was not mandatory that Zhao Izumi must read it, and Zhao Izumi never had the opportunity to read it carefully from beginning to end, after entering the big city, Zhao Izumi felt more and more that he was far from others, and he became more and more unconfident when he had no goods in his stomach, and he regretted that he did not sweep the two boxes of books of the old monk and the scriptures that were already in the temple.

On the evening of the 28th of the lunar month, Zhao Izuxi, who thought that he would not go to Shanshui Qing again during this time, was called over by Uncle Yu, and Uncle Yu said on the phone that the behind-the-scenes boss of Shanshui Qing had returned from Macau and wanted to meet him. Zhao Izumi was a little surprised, how could this big boss who didn't see the end of the dragon be interested in seeing him, the biggest possibility was that Uncle Yu said good things about himself in front of him, which made him appreciate his face, otherwise he would not be a little minion like himself would not be in the eyes of the big boss.

Didn't dare to take a luxury taxi, it is still the 208 bus, compared to the usual crowded, there are not many people on the bus when the New Year is approaching, listen to Han Sanqiang said, from the afternoon of the Chinese New Year's Eve to the noon of the second day of the new year, the entire Xi'an city is as empty as a haunting, most of the people who gather in this city to struggle for life will leave the city and return to their hometown for the New Year, except for a few people who stick here, the rest are aborigines.

After arriving at the landscape, Zhao Izumi went straight to Uncle Yu's office on the sixth floor from the back door, and was blocked by two men with tricky eyes in front of the office door, one with a bald head and one with short hair, and his body was relatively burly, Zhao Izumi estimated that this was the bodyguard of the big boss behind the scenes, just like the pomp of the brother Bin seen in the Shangri-La Hotel, the big man is estimated to be like this, Zhao Izumi understands the rules, and said politely and politely, "Uncle Yu is looking for me"

The two men glanced at each other, one of them turned around and entered the office, and the other stared at Zhao Izusi, once Zhao Izumi had any abnormal behavior, it is estimated that he would not hesitate to do it, and within a few seconds the man came out and motioned for Zhao Izumi to go in, Zhao Izumi smiled at the two men and walked into the office. In the office, on Uncle Yu's sofa, two men drank tea and talked and laughed, except for Uncle Guo, the other is naturally the big boss behind the scenes, and Zhao Izuxi imagined on the road is a little different, he thought that this big boss behind the scenes is a big gold necklace with a thumb on his neck, a cigarette and a puff of old yellow teeth, who knows that the boss behind the scenes looks gentle and elegant, very tasteful V-neck cardigan and khaki pants, except for the valuable watch on the wrist, the whole body can no longer see the same jewelry. The whole person has a good momentum, and his smile is very amiable, so that Zhao Izumi will not have a sense of distance, his face is ruddy and shiny, and the whole person is well maintained, as Ding Ge said, the most important thing for men after the age of forty is good health.

"Out of the breath, this is the big boss of our landscape situation, everyone calls him Angkor outside, you can call Uncle Wu" Uncle Yu casually introduced his old friend, Wu Yunsong, the boss behind the landscape situation, here is just an industry of Wu Yunsong, he also has a restaurant chain company and a company that does real estate with friends, this time to run Macau chic, there is money to a certain point, naturally you have to find a way to spend money, money will not spend is sad, for rich people of their age, Most people will go to Macau to gamble two when they have money.

"Uncle Wu," Zhao shouted with a chuckle.

Wu Yunsong raised his head slightly, just as Zhao Izumi said, smiled amiably, smiled and waved his hand, "Sit, don't listen to the old man bury me, what a big boss." Hehe, Lao Yu said that there is an interesting young man in the landscape, and he wants to meet him if he is not curious, and he hasn't heard him nag about a future life for a long time."

Zhao Izumi didn't dare to answer, he sat upright, Uncle Yu poured a cup of tea for Zhao Izumi and said with a smile, "Don't be so restrained, it's all your own people"

"Why don't you go home for the New Year?" Wu Yunsong asked with interest.

Zhao Izumi said in a low voice, "There is no one at home, it is the same if you don't go back"

"No one?" Wu Yunsong frowned.

Zhao Izumi replied, "My parents died when I was a child."

Wu Yunsong and Uncle Yu glanced at each other, their eyes were very flat, there was no pity or sympathy, that's all. Wu Yunsong said thoughtfully, "I heard that Lao Yu said that you are good, do you want to have a better development in the future, it is rare to be older than the young man who recommended it to me, how about it?" ”

As expected, Uncle Yu said good things in front of the big boss, Zhao Izumi looked at Uncle Yu with some gratitude, Uncle Yu smiled and drank tea and didn't say much, he naturally had his own reasons, although Zhao Izumi had been in the landscape for less than a month, he could behave in the world and so on Uncle Yu saw it in his eyes, no one said bad things about him in all aspects, even the sweeping aunt and the kitchen chef said that Zhao Izumi was good, it was rare for a young man to make him interested, Uncle Yu had the heart to pay attention to observation, and appeared at the club on time at half past five in the afternoon every day, Take the first bus to leave on time at six o'clock in the morning every day, such a young man is rare, why didn't Uncle Yu give him a platform? Give him a chance to get ahead?

Zhao Izumi said very interestingly, "Uncle Wu, I have just been here for less than a month, and I haven't adapted yet?" ”

Wu Yunsong chuckled and said, "Don't worry, I naturally won't make a decision too hastily, just let you behave well, perform well, I will let you do something else, at least than in the landscape Qing, this temple is too small, don't be like Lao Yu, admit death"

Uncle Yu was not angry, he chuckled, if he nodded back then, maybe now he and Wu Yunsong have the same net worth, but people do something and don't do anything, not everyone's choice is the same, there is always their own way to go.

Zhao Izumi is not familiar with the background of the big boss behind the scenes, so he naturally won't nod easily, he can refuse such a big temptation from Brother Bin at the beginning, not to mention the olive branch thrown by Wu Yunsong now, uncertain things, Zhao Izumi doesn't dare to make a decision easily, not to mention taking a step back, Su Xiluo still agreed.

After staying in the landscape until eight o'clock, Wu Yunsong and Uncle Yu left, Zhao Izumi took the bus back to the construction site, sitting in the corner of the most rearmost corner of the No. 208 bus, the neon lights outside the window slid over Zhao Izui's face, the scenery was constantly changing, like the people on the car came and went, Zhao Izumi was as immobile as a mountain, he knew that people in this era are eager to succeed and desire success, who makes this era too impetuous, but as Li Qingyi said, he is different from others, taking a wrong step may be a loss in the whole game, you have to be cautious, But Zhao Izumi was also a little hesitant, too cautious, would he miss some opportunities again?

It's really like chess, and it's hard to move every step of the way......

When they returned to the construction site, He Ping and Han Sanqiang bought a lot of food, and they were eating happily, there were a lot of vegetarian dishes, meat dishes, duck neck and duck intestines, and a bottle of ten-year Xifeng, it was rare to be so luxurious, Zhao Izumi came in and quipped, "Yo, what day is this today, you guys?" ”

Han Sanqiang looked at the newspaper next to him and muttered, "What special day can we have, don't buy something to eat to treat yourself, seeing that the day after tomorrow will be the New Year."

The two moved to the side to make room for Zhao Izu, Zhao Izumi drank two glasses by himself, and touched a glass with the two, eating meat and drinking wine to know that this is the truest side of life, He Ping, who seems to be honest on the outside, seems to have something to say, and hesitates and says, "Brother Zhao, Brother Han, I'll say something"

Zhao Izumi smiled and said, "Lao He, just say something, look at you like this"

"I may have to go back to my girlfriend's house for the New Year in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, we will get the certificate after the year, and this year's New Year will be spent at her house, it is estimated that the Chinese New Year's Eve and the first day of the new year will not come to the construction site" He Pingzhi said that this is a little embarrassing, after all, there are only three people left at the construction site of Nuoda, and there is nothing to do during the day, but at night, it is a little unsafe.

Han Sanqiang was a little unhappy after hearing this, and said, "Lao He, you know that there are only three of us left at the construction site now."

He Ping was entangled, "The first year I spent the New Year at my girlfriend's house, if I didn't go, what would her parents do to us?" ”

Han Sanqiang didn't care about this, he was ready to refuse without hesitation, Zhao Izumi waved his hand and stopped, "Lao He, you must perform well in the first year, so let's go, you will go over after I change shifts the morning after tomorrow, go early and help out early and behave well, after all, it is a family of thirty people, hurry up and get married"

"Xie Lu, Brother Zhao, don't worry, these two days' wages are yours, I will buy you some more wine and food tomorrow" He Ping hurriedly thanked him, for fear that Zhao would change his mind.

Zhao Izumi said casually, "It's all brothers, what's polite?" ”

On the 29th of the lunar month, this day was the most dull, during the 16th call, but the phone rang a few times and then hung up, and waited for Zhao Izumi to go back to the past, but no one answered there, Zhao Izumi didn't know what happened to the 16th call, and I didn't know if she went home, maybe she just politely asked herself how to spend the New Year, after all, the two of them are friends now. As for Yiyi, Zhao Izumi never saw him again, nor did he call.

On the morning of the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, He Ping left the construction site at nine o'clock, and even though Zhao Izushi and Han Sanqiang said no, they still bought a pile of melon seeds, candy, meat and wine last night, spending hundreds of yuan. At noon, the whole city suddenly became empty in an instant as Han Sanqiang said, there were few cars on the road that was blocked to death in the past, and it was estimated that they would not be woken up when they slept on the street, Zhao Izumi was a little surprised, remembering that the city was still lively last night, how could it become an empty city overnight.

In the morning, Zhao was on duty, Han Sanqiang ran to the nearby supermarket to buy some New Year's things, after all, it was the New Year, not as shabby as before, by the way, he also bought some firecrackers and fireworks in a nearby store, which was specially advised by the Yellow River, indicating that everything will go well at the construction site in the coming year, Han Sanqiang said that Xi'an City only allowed fireworks at twelve o'clock in the evening of the Chinese New Year's Eve.

After Han Sanqiang came back, Zhao Izumi asked Han Sanqiang to sit opposite him very seriously, Han Sanqiang was a little puzzled, and said with a hippie smile, "Brother Zhao, what is this for?" What's the good thing to tell me? ”

"What about you, the top three?" Zhao Izumi asked very seriously.

Han Sanqiang said hehehe, "How am I? ”

"It's the New Year, really don't you want to go back?" Zhao sighed.

Han Sanqiang shook his head and laughed self-deprecatingly, "If you don't go back, what's the point of going back?" ”

"It doesn't matter if he's an alcoholic or not, no matter what he's done to you, he's your father anyway. During the Chinese New Year, every household is lively, how lonely and lonely is he at home alone? Zhao Izumi chuckled.

Han Sanqiang was silent and did not speak.

Zhao Izumi continued, "Even if you can't stay at that house for long, accompany him tonight, and come to the construction site tomorrow, if you don't go back, don't call me Brother Zhao in the future, a man who doesn't even recognize his father, I can treat him as a brother."

Han Sanqiang's eyes were red, maybe he was really said to be a sore spot by Zhao Izui, for so many years, he was alone every New Year.

"What about you?" Han Sanqiang's eyes were red, and he asked very ungentlemanly.

Zhao Izumi scolded with a smile, "I'll naturally show us the construction site, you idiot"

Han Sanqiang was finally scolded by Zhao Izu, Zhao Izumi asked him to buy some couplet adverbs for the family, clean up well, and bring back those food and drinks bought on the construction site by the way, Chinese New Year's Eve night, no matter what happened before, accompany the old man to drink two cups, just like Zhao Izuki said, no matter what, he is your father.

On the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, when night fell, the city became more and more empty, as if there was a response to any word, which made Zhao Izumi quite uncomfortable, the only difference was that there were more firecrackers, Zhao Izumi hid alone in the gatehouse, eating the food bought by He Ping and Han Sanqiang, watching the Spring Festival Gala, the TV was there at the construction site before, but kept looking at the old toothless Nokia mobile phone, and kept hesitating to call Li Qingyi, and finally held back.

When it was almost twelve o'clock, Zhao Izumi hurriedly ran outside the construction site, lit the firecrackers and fireworks that Han Sanqiang bought, and then excitedly ran to the top floor of the International Mansion, where he could see almost all the scenery nearby.

At twelve o'clock, with the footsteps of the New Year, the whole city suddenly became noisy, firecrackers rang out, fireworks were brilliant in an instant, a hundred flowers bloomed, and the sky was illuminated in an instant, Zhao Izumi was unexpectedly calm, looking at the northwest direction, and said with a smile, "It's the New Year"
