Chapter 304
That night, the air conditioner that was bought back by Schipan at the "best discount price" five years ago failed to spit out the slightest bit of cold air, not only that, but the sound of the exhaust fan that seemed to be blocked in his nostrils also made Brother Jiu feel noisy, and finally had to turn things off.
"Damn, there's not even air conditioning!" Brother Jiu thought hatefully, before he came over, his biggest wish was to finally be able to blow the air conditioner, but he didn't expect that even this wish was disappointed.
Do you want to stay in a hotel? He suddenly thought, but then Brother Jiu denied this idea. He didn't have an identity certificate, so he had to get Sjepan's ID card when he went to the hotel, so that Sjepan's trace would immediately appear in the public security system, and Yu Jin's gang would be able to chase him down immediately......
Forget it.
Thinking so, Brother Jiu turned over on the bed angrily. The only bed he had was given to him, and the only fan of fortune was given to him.
He told Brother Jiu that he was going to drive a night train, "Don't worry, I won't contact Yu Jin, and he won't know that I'm back." It's just that that meeting in Copenhagen is not many days away. ”
Why the hell is this guy obsessed with that Copenhagen? Brother Nine thought.
Tonight is hot, the air is heavy and the air pressure is low, Brother Jiu can't sleep after tossing and turning, and the Hongyun fan on one side is screwed to the maximum gear by him, but the wind blowing out is still warm.
I really couldn't sleep, so Jiu Elder simply got up and came out of the bedroom.
Sjepan was still in his study, his palm-sized lamp on, the faint glow of his laptop's monitor reflected on his lenses. Because of the sweat, he had to hold his glasses from time to time, and from time to time he grabbed the fan next to him and fanned himself twice - even the fan was a simple plastic fan given by the mall when he was doing an event.
"Don't you sleep yet?" Brother Nine asked in a low voice, "It's going to be faster." ”
Sjepan looked back at him, "There's still no material to be prepared - it's too hot to sleep?" ”
"yes." Brother Jiu didn't have a good breath, "You don't even have a mat at home!" ”
“…… Then, let's go take a cold shower. That's how I cool down every time. ”
Brother Jiu almost bent down to take off his slippers and threw them at his head!
"I'm going to buy me a new air conditioner tomorrow!"
Sjepan laughed: "Got it, I'll call tomorrow morning." ”
"So, where are you sleeping tonight?" Brother Jiu asked again.
Sjepan gestured to the chaise longue next to him.
Brother Jiu looked at him silently, and finally said coldly: "Good night." ”
In the heat and depression, Brother Jiu turned over several times tiredly, and he vaguely thought that the modern city without air conditioning was hotter than the hottest summer in the Qing Dynasty!
In the second half of the night, the torrential rain that had been accumulated for a long time fell suddenly, the heat was lifted, the air gradually cooled down, and the ninth elder brother fell asleep.
In the early morning, Brother Jiu was woken up by the sound of a rumbling thunderstorm, he opened his eyes, and looked at the ceiling for a while through the glimmer of the morning light, and then remembered where he was.
When I looked down, I was covered with a thin blanket that I had never seen before.
Brother Jiu thought about it, lifted the blanket, got out of bed, and walked lightly to the study.
Sjepan was curled up in that recliner, still asleep in last night's shorts vest. The window was wide open, and the cool breeze with the rain was blowing in, and Sjepan frowned, as if it were a little cold, and a gust of wind blew, and he folded his arms, curled up and shrank back into the chaise longue.
Looking at him intently, Brother Nine turned around and tiptoed back to the bedroom, he opened the cabinet to find something to cover Sjepan.
…… There were only two sets of winter quilts inside.
Brother Jiu's fire doesn't come anywhere!
He easily resisted the urge to scold, lowered his head and grabbed the thin blanket, walked quickly to the chaise longue, and threw it on Sjepan!
…… Even a blanket is only one bed!
Is this guy possessed by a poor god?
For breakfast, it was the beef noodles that Sjepan went downstairs to buy.
"Is there a picture of the stone lock?" Brother Nine asked.
Sjepan got up, went to the bottom of the bookcase and flipped out a large photo album, then turned to a certain page, and pointed out his cousin to Brother Jiu.
Same.
Brother Jiu stared at the taciturn big man in the photo, this stone lock was no different from the previous two, it looked like a stone face that didn't like to talk, but the Sjepan next to him was always smiling.
"Your brother doesn't look like you at all." Brother Jiu said casually.
"Because there is no blood relationship, my aunt is just my mother's friend."
Brother Jiu was stunned: "Yes." ”
"Well, I called her aunt since I was a child, Shi Suo has often come to live in my house since he was a child, and the two families are actually no different from blood relatives."
Brother Jiu flipped through the photo album, and suddenly, a photo fell out of it. When I picked it up, there were two people in the photo, Sjepan and a Chinese man with an unfamiliar face.
The two stood next to the welcoming pine in Huangshan, with intimate expressions.
Before Brother Jiu could take a closer look, the photo in his hand was snatched away by Sjepan!
He looked at Sjepan in surprise, who looked embarrassed and said, "It's a former colleague......"
Then, he didn't look at Brother Jiu, and lowered his head and stuffed the photo back into the drawer.
After breakfast, Sjepan called his cousin Shi Suo, and he told Brother Jiu that he hadn't been in touch with his brother for more than a year, and he didn't know what his brother was doing.
Fortunately, the number was still there, and Shi Suo answered the phone. Sjepan greeted his brother happily, and said that he had something important to talk to him about, and asked him if he could come over in the evening.
"I don't like to go to your area. You should come over in the evening. I'll send a car to pick you up. ”
Sjepan put down the phone and made an OK gesture to Brother Jiu: "No problem!" ”
When he was on the phone just now, Brother Jiu was standing aside, so he could hear the sound of the stone lock on the other side of the phone.
As far as Brother Jiu's feeling is concerned, Shi Suo's attitude is quite cold, and he can only say that he barely maintains the most basic politeness.
In this way, does it matter if he and Sjepan come to the door? He thought to himself.
So they had to wait until eight o'clock in the evening.
"Call! Buy an air conditioner! Brother Jiu grabbed the phone and pressed it to Sjepan's face, "Hurry up!" ”
"Got it, got it!" Sjepan muttered, "Is it necessary to be in such a hurry?" Let's go to the mall first. Maybe you can get a discount......"
"If I hear the word 'discount' again, I'll discount your legs!"
Brother Nine is so aggressive, but Si Jiepan is a little aggrieved, he muttered: "You are Brother Grand, of course you are very rich, I am shy in my pocket......"
Before he finished his words, Brother Jiu grabbed a gold bar, and with a "bang", it smashed firmly on Sjepan's head!
"Take it and buy an air conditioner!"
As a result, because of the pleasing amount of service charges, the air-conditioner seller sent five young men to the door within an hour, like the hard-working bee staff, who quickly removed the old air-conditioner and installed a new one. Turn it on, debug, everything is OK.
"Take away the old air conditioner!" Brother Jiu waved his hand haughtily, "There are too many old goods at home, and they can't be piled up." ”
"Can you give me some depreciation?" Sjepan touched the small red mark on his forehead and pleaded pitifully, "It's only been five years." ”
The air conditioner brother who took the lead laughed: "The engine movement of this discounted air conditioner is old, and after the manufacturer recycles it, it just puts a new shell on it - it is broken twice in three years, isn't it?" This brand has a very bad reputation, and now it can't be found. This gentleman, you can't be too greedy for cheap things! ”
A few words, made Sjepan stupid.
Brother Jiu now understands why there is something wrong with the electrical appliances of the Sjepan family.
After the air conditioner was installed, the biggest worries were lifted, and Brother Jiu urged Si Jiepan to pay off the gas arrears, so that the house had the basic conditions for living in it.
But that's not enough.
So Brother Jiu made up his mind to go shopping.
It's just that before going out, Brother Jiu was embarrassed, he could wear Sjepan's clothes, and this braid on his head, what should he do?
Brother Jiu stared at himself in the dressing mirror, his right hand was clutching the braid in annoyance, he really wanted to find a hair salon to cut off the braid, but he didn't dare.
After two days, he will have to go back to Daqing, and he will have no braids, so how can he see Kangxi?
“…… Ahhhh ”
He was frantic when Sjepan pulled out a hat from the cupboard.
"Let's wear this and go out." Sjepan enthusiastically suggested, "Braids can be tucked in." ”
It's a Panamanian hat.
Brother Jiu took it, put it on his head, and then tucked the braid into his hat.
Just right.
But......
"It looks a little familiar, a lot like a character in a movie." He stared suspiciously at himself in the mirror.
Brother Jiu was wearing a blue-gray suit from Sjepan, and his figure was not as burly as Sjepan, so his clothes were a little big and loose on his body.
Sjepan held his chin: "Well, I also think this kind of dress is common on the screen, and it's an old movie ......"
"I remember." Brother Jiu said depressedly, "Like the mafia in Hollywood movies in the seventies, live a little Corleone." ”
“…… Really. ”
"Forget it, I don't wear this hat, do you have a baseball cap?"
"There's just this hat at home, and the baseball cap is too small for your braids to fit in." Seeing that he was still reluctant, Sjepan persuaded again, "The mafia is the mafia, and besides, aren't you afraid of being seen by Yu Jin's people?" Here, wear sunglasses, too, so that you can cover more than half of your face. No one else will notice on the road. It's summer, so you should shade the sun. ”
"Shy sun! It's raining outside, can't you see? On a rainy day, wearing a hat and an umbrella, and wearing such a big pair of sunglasses on my face, I'm nervous! ”
But there is no other way, in order not to let people see his braids, for safety, Brother Jiu can only go out in the image of this "neurotic mafia".
Fortunately, it was Monday, and it was raining again, so not many people really paid attention to him on the road. Brother Jiu didn't plan to go far away, and there happened to be a very large Wal-Mart near his home.
Standing at the door of the supermarket, taking off his sunglasses, and looking up at these three words, Brother Jiu couldn't help but be stunned.
Fate is really interesting, it can always put some familiar but prosaic signs in front of you without a trace, when you don't pay attention. (To be continued.) )
