Chapter III

Chen Hui and I held cigarettes, leaning on the door frame left and right, like door gods, spitting cigarettes, flicking cigarette ashes, looking at the people coming and going on the street, sad.

On the other side of the road, a shirtless man walked over, who seemed to be deliberately showing off the tattoo on his right chest, this person we know, Dog, the resident of this street, looks quite gangster, when he was young, he was also a restless lord, he caused trouble everywhere, behaved nonsense, and there was a wolf head tattooed on his chest, grinning with teeth, and his fierce appearance was revealed, but as he grew older, his body gradually became blessed, and the wolf head actually became blessed with him, his mouth became shorter, his face became wider, and his face became more and more kind. Whoever looks at it thinks that this wolf head is like a dog head, and the neighbors often joke about him, and the nickname "dog" has also fallen, to those of us who are younger, we generally call him Brother Dog, and the younger one is called Uncle Dog, and the younger one generally calls him Uncle Dog...

The dog raised his chin at us and said, "What are you two doing here, being a door god?" ”

Chen Hui said listlessly: "Thinking about life, you think they are all as idle as you." ”

The dog grinned: "Lin Cheng, I just saw Aunt Liu bring a very beautiful girl to you, what's wrong?" I'll introduce you to someone again. ”

I sighed and said, "I had a surprise blind date, so I wasn't mentally prepared at all." ”

Chen Hui continued: "Isn't it, don't say hello in advance, you said that fortunately my boss was dressed up beautifully at that time, if he only wore a pair of pants and ran around at that time, he wouldn't scare people away." ”

I scolded, "When did I run around wearing only one pair of pants?" ”

Chen Hui: "Just to use an analogy, that's what it means." ”

The dog said: "Aunt Liu is too anxious, you said that you were blind at a young age, and when you got married, you have no freedom at all." ”

The dog frowned, bent down and squatted in front of us, and said to Chen Hui, "Is there any smoke?" ”

Chen Hui took it out and threw it to him, Brother Gouzi took a deep breath and said: "This man, you have to live a little more freely, learn from you Brother Gouzi and me, I am in my forties, and I am still single, a little more carefree, a woman." After speaking, Yun smiled lightly.

I said, "Come on, who doesn't know that you asked Aunt Liu to introduce you to someone all day long." ”

The dog said embarrassedly: "I'm different, I have to give our old Liu family a successor, this is a responsibility, so I'm looking for a partner now." ”

Chen Hui looked at the dog several times from top to bottom, and said meaningfully: "You are passing on the lineage now, it's too late." ”

The dog pointed at Chen Hui: "You kid has itchy skin, right?" ”

Chen Hui hurriedly made a stop gesture.

The dog said a little melancholy: "You said that it is so difficult to find a daughter-in-law to live now?" ”

I said, "If you can collect that mahjong stall and find a serious job, it won't be difficult to find a daughter-in-law." ”

Chen Hui added: "In addition, I am wearing clothes, or looking for a place to wash the dog's head on your body." ”

Me: "Chen Hui is right! ”

Brother Gouzi waved his hand and said: "No, the mahjong stall can't be collected, you said that there are no leisure and entertainment activities in our neighborhood that can get together, just my mahjong stall is hot, you say that if this is collected, what do we old and young masters play, I am contributing to our Yingchun Street." ”

Me: "Then you are so fearless, you don't want your own happiness for this." ”

The dog listened to me and smiled.

I smiled and said, "If it really doesn't work, then find a wife who is addicted to mahjong, and then you two will sit and play mahjong." ”

As soon as I said this, the dog slapped happily: "Hey, I think this too......"

The dog is a man in his forties, a man in his forties, a man who is honest, righteous, he loves to cause trouble when he is young, and he still refuses to settle down when he is old, he is a young hooligan who mixes up, and his temper is like dynamite, just a little bit, and he is also the person in the whole block who loves to stand out for others, once the people in the block have a conflict with outsiders, then he must be the one who rushes to the front and jumps the tallest.

It is also because of this that his daughter-in-law thinks he is too sincere, and secretly runs away very early, because his conditions are not good, he likes to drink and fight, and there is no girl marrying him, which leaves him single and lives half his life.

Now, he built a shed opposite my store, which put two tables for everyone to play cards there, play mahjong, and other leisure activities, this mahjong stall can be described as hot, regardless of wind and rain, there is always a group of people around, some occupy the card field and fight to the death, some are leisurely and elegant, pointing and watching the game.

The dog smacked the cigarette butt hard, and the last trace of fire came out of the cigarette butt, which had burned out, and then pinched the cigarette butt, pressed it to the ground, exhaled two puffs of green smoke from both nostrils, and said: "I don't like to that mind, I can find it if I can find it, and I can live a lifetime if I can't find it." ”

I laughed and said, "You have a free and easy point of view." ”

looked back at Chen Hui and said, "When Aunt Liu comes again, you have to help me block it, and I plan to be free and easy." ”

Chen Hui said lazily: "Okay, no one cares about you, according to your lifespan, finding a partner at the age of 200 is still early love." ”

The dog looked confused and said, "What do you mean?" What is 200-year-old looking for a partner, with a yin marriage? ”

I hurriedly explained, "This kid is joking. After speaking, he quietly glared at him.

Chen Hui also came back to his senses, and just lost his words, so he said: "Yes, yes, yes, I'm joking." ”

The dog sighed: "You two boys, it's a little abnormal. ”

Chen Hui stood up and said, "Brother Gouzi, let's not squat here and chat, otherwise we will fight the landlord, and if you lose, please eat?" ”

The dog also stood up with a thud: "I'm still afraid of you, when I was called the God of Gamblers, you still gnawed your toes." ”

The two of them stood up and walked towards the mahjong stall menacingly, I shook my head and smiled, stood up, patted the soil on my pants, and walked over.

……

When others stood up, Chen Hui and the dog sat down, and the dog saw that I was still standing, and said, "Lin Cheng, sit down."

I waved my hand slightly, "You guys play."

The fat boss of the dried vegetable shop moved his huge body of more than 200 catties and squeezed over, and everyone consciously made way for him, because he accidentally touched him, he was bounced away, and the fat boss yelled: "Lin Cheng doesn't play with me."

The dog smiled: "Fat brother, we have a bet, a meal!"

The fat boss waved his hand and said with a smile: "A meal is nothing, if I lose, you go to my store to eat openly."

The dog laughed, "you, all you sell are dried vegetables."

The fat boss smiled: "I'll make a few packs of seaweed for you, and it'll be seafood."

Everyone laughed.

Several people skillfully shuffle the cards, draw cards, the whole card, playing cards in their hands as if they have a soul, know how to follow the instructions in general, arranged in an orderly manner, neatly aligned, like blooming flowers, people have a sense of comfort.

I used to envy people who can quickly sort out the cards, because I rarely play cards, occasionally play cards, when the whole card, the cards between the cards seem to be smeared with oil, either not connected, or muddy, so I usually don't play poker much.

Since I was a child, I have always been very evil in this regard, every time I play cards or mahjong, the first hand is so good that it bursts, playing cards, straights, airplanes go, mahjong, not Tianhu on the ground, pai gow, not to the sky bar to the ground bar, all in all, the first has never lost.

However, once the fortune is over, the cards after are simply worlds apart, the bad cards, thrown above the street for hundreds of miles to leave a live mouth, after the first hand, never won.

That's why I never participate in this kind of entertainment, even flying chess, throwing a six, and then it's all one.

……

Chen Hui held the card in one hand, and said in a thin voice imitating the voice of the mobile phone: "Call the landlord."

Brother Dog frowned and said, "Don't."

The fat boss smiled: "I don't want it either."

Chen Hui drew a card: "45678, Shunzi."

At this time, the mobile phone in my pocket rang, and while I answered, I turned around and walked out of the shed: "Hey?"

A man's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone: "Master Lin, I'm Zhang Dazhuang, the one who asked you to exorcise ghosts for me a few days ago."

I recalled in my mind that two days ago, there was indeed a strong man of 1.85 meters who came to me to catch ghosts, and people said that people are like their names, so there is no need to ask, it must be him, so I said: "Oh, I remember you, does the method I gave you work?"

Zhang Dazhuang said anxiously: "According to the method you said, I burned the paper for two days, and it reappeared last night, and I am hiding outside now, not daring to go home."

I nodded and said, "I'm done with the situation, don't worry, I'll go over and solve him at night."

Zhang Dazhuang seemed to have grasped the backbone, and hurriedly said: "Then trouble you, I'll wait for your call at night."

I hung up the phone, and I heard a burst of laughter from the mahjong stand behind me, and when I turned around, Chen Hui was holding his head, dragging his cheeks, and his face was depressed.

I walked over with a smile and said with a smile, "What, you were killed as soon as I answered the phone?"

Chen Hui looked up at me with lost eyes, and said pitifully, "I made a mistake."

The dog smiled: "Chen Hui, what do you invite us to eat?"

The fat boss patted his belly, which looked like he was pregnant, as if showing his amount of food, and said provocatively: "That's it, you have to let me let go of eating."

Chen Hui sighed, grabbed my arm, pulled me out, I shook off his hand and said, "What does a big man look like when he pulls and pulls."

Chen Hui smiled: "Boss, do me a favor."

Me: "Why?"

Chen Hui said: "Won't it cost our family money if I invite them to dinner?"

I said, "Hey, I'll have to settle the matter for you."

Chen Hui said as a matter of course: "Of course, you are my boss." ”

I "......"

So the two of us turned around and swaggered into the mahjong booth, which was called an imposing one, and my loose T-shirt was stunned to wear the feeling of a trench coat, just a white scarf and a black coat.

Chen Hui said: "Another one? This time, let's make a bet on three meals. ”

Brother Dog scratched his chin and said, "Yes."

I said, "This time, I'll play with you."

The fat boss smiled: "Lin Cheng is quite rare to play cards."

I made a tacit look at Chen Hui, holding the playing cards in my hand unfamiliarly, jumping out one by one, Chen Hui saw this, and also stretched out his hand to help, and others couldn't help but smile when they saw me like this.

Brother Dog sorted out the cards and looked at me arrogantly: "How about it, do you want to give the landlord to you?"

I took a general look at the cards and said with a smile: "Of course, you have to ask for cards or not."

Collect a few cards, not skilled at all began to sort, for a long time, I held the left and right slanted cards in one hand, full of confidence.

Me: "Junko, 34567."

Brother Gouzi said confidently: "I'll rub your sharpness."

After speaking, he threw the card on the table, "Four 8s, blow you up." ”

I frowned, deliberately trying to think hard.

Brother Dog pouted, glanced at me, looked at the people around him with a smug face, and stretched out his hand to continue to play cards.

I said, "What's the hurry, I haven't come out yet."

Fourth Brother Qiao took out half of the cards and put them back.

Me: "Four 2s, you either."

Without waiting for them to speak, I simply didn't even raise my head, but reached out and threw the card: "Four circles? Four Ks? ”

The jaws of the people around me seemed to be dislocated, and they couldn't speak with their mouths open, and Brother Dog looked at me: "You are too ruthless."

Chen Hui and I looked at each other and smiled: "There are three more, do you want anyone?"

Seeing that they shook their heads, I said, "An ace."

Fourth Brother Qiao looked at me and said cautiously, "Those two, shouldn't they be ......."

I stood up and threw the cards on the table in a dashing manner: "King of Heaven!"

"Chen Hui, let's eat!"

……

A taxi "creaked" at my door, and a woman in her twenties got out of the car.

The woman was dressed in a black dress, wrapped in a slender and slender body, a high tied ponytail, a handful of bangs hanging down on her forehead, a standard melon seed face, with a black-framed eye, showing a neat and capable temperament, the more difficult it is to describe her temperament after exhausting the poetry and songs of China a few years ago, in a word-beauty!

Chen Hui jumped down from the steps and shouted at the woman, "Jiang Xue, you're back."

This woman is the third child in our family, the big name Han Jiangxue, I heard the aunt of the orphanage say that Jiang Xue was left at the train station, and she was still a baby when she was delivered.

Because it was snowing that day, when the director of the orphanage was chanting the poem: "Lonely boat, fishing alone in the cold river and snow", the police sent Jiang Xue over, so he named it "Han Jiangxue".

Jiang Xue glanced at Chen Hui, didn't speak, just pointed to the back seat, Chen Hui immediately understood, stepped forward and took out all the big bags and small bags inside, and then obediently settled the fare, busy before and after, not unhappy at all.

No way, this kid likes Jiang Xue.

Jiang Xue also knew it in her heart, but she didn't say anything, didn't refuse or agree.

When the driver was looking for money, he glanced up at Chen Hui, and was suddenly stunned: "Aren't you in the mall, why are you faster than me when you sent this girl to the car just now?"

Chen Hui snatched the change from the driver's hand and said leisurely: "You are wrong, it is my brother, and we are twins."

Hearing Chen Hui say this, the driver exclaimed: "People say that twins have a heart, and today I can see it." ”

Chen Hui said, "What do you mean? ”

"I just saw that your brother's zipper was not pulled, and you see that your pants are showing so big holes, are you two catching up with the trend?"

Chen Hui looked down, he didn't mean to be ashamed, he pulled it back very calmly, and said lightly: "What's all the fuss about." ”

The driver laughed while flipping through the change, and couldn't stop for a long time, Chen Hui patted the roof of his car impatiently: "Hey, hey, what are you laughing at, you want to humiliate me at the door of my house, believe it or not, I'm looking for someone to unload your engine and let you slide with your feet." ”

As soon as he said this, the driver's face froze, he glanced up at a group of people playing cards next to him, running a taxi in this city, there is no reason not to know the notoriety of Yingchun Street, he knows that Chen Hui is not alarmist, once these people start to move, they will unload his car into a pile of parts that can't tell what is what.

The driver was not laughing, he pinched a few pieces of change in his hand and quickly handed it to Chen Hui, Chen Hui's hand just got the money, the driver let go of the handbrake, stepped on the clutch, hung a gear, and the car rushed out with a "boom".

Chen Hui glanced at the money in his hand, his eyes flickered, and he waved his hand and shouted: "Driving, you come back, don't go!" ”

But the more he shouted, the higher the speed of the taxi, and he fled away from Yingchun Street.

I asked, "He's looking for less money from you?" ”

Chen Hui smashed his mouth with a blank face: "What, he still looks for me for ten more yuan." ”

……

We walked into the house, and Jiang Xue fiddled with her large bag of things.

I said, "How do you buy so many things?" ”

Jiang Xue said while flipping through her clothes: "The owner of that shop is a patient of mine, and he has a great discount on clothes, and he asked me to go for beauty in two days." ”

Chen Hui stepped forward and asked sourly, "So good?" Men and women. ”

Jiang Xue said: "Ask me to do beauty, of course it's a woman." ”

Chen Hui said: "That's not necessarily, these days, human nature is distorted. ”

Jiang Xue turned around: "Your humanity is not distorted." ”

I sat on the chair, crossed Erlang's legs and said, "Chen Hui is right, aren't they all neurotics looking for you."

Jiang Xue flipped through and said: "Don't always have this point of view, these days, no one has anything in their hearts, I am the one who solves problems." ”

Chen Hui: "My psychology is quite healthy. ”

I hurriedly looked back at him: "You? Mental health? ”

Chen Hui wiped his nose and said, "What's wrong." ”

"You're not afraid of telling lies, and the sky will thunder?"

I said slowly, "Have you ever heard a question?" "What's the problem?"

I said, "If you are accidentally put in a mental hospital, how can you prove that you are not mentally ill." ”

Chen Hui hurriedly replied: "According to the combat effectiveness of ordinary people, it is impossible to put me in a mental hospital. ”

"I mean if."

Chen Hui continued to say calmly: "Then I will release the clone at night, and then kill my own clone to play, within three days, even the doctors and nurses will go crazy." ”

Jiang Xue said: "But you still couldn't get out in the end." ”

Chen Hui walked to Jiang Xue's side with a twist: "Then what do you say?" ”

Jiang Xue said: "I will be the same as my usual life, eating, sleeping, reading the newspaper, and I will be released soon." ”

I clapped my hands and said, "It's still Jiang Xue who is right." ”

Jiang Xue smiled: "Please, this kind of problem was invented by us psychiatrists." ”

As soon as these words came out, Chen Hui pointed at me and laughed: "Boss, you are playing with a big knife in front of Guan Gong, and you sell cut cakes at the door of the bank." ”

Jiang Xue picked out a few paper pockets and handed them to Chen Hui: "The clothes I bought for you, take them and try them out." ”

Chen Hui took it, couldn't wait to open it, and said with a smile: "I should really buy clothes." ”

Turning around, he ran into the house to try on clothes.

This time, I said sourly: "Yo yo yo, it seems that I am a child that no one loves, and I don't have my clothes." ”

Jiang Xue rolled her eyes at me and handed me a few paper pockets: "Yours is here, like a child." ”

I happily took over the new clothes, looking at them one by one, all the clothes in our house were made by Jiang Xue, because Chen Hui and I didn't have the eye to buy clothes, we both thought that the clothes were worn on the body, and it was enough to cover up the shame and keep warm, so this careful work was handed over to Jiang Xue, who had a unique vision.

I smiled and said, "It's hard work, I'll show you my cooking skills in the evening." ”

Jiang Xue said, "You better invite me out to eat." ”

Hearing this, I suddenly lost my breath, my own craftsmanship is not bad, at least not a taste that is difficult to swallow.

I was about to return the favor, when Chen Hui changed into a new dress and walked out.

As the saying goes, people rely on clothes and horses rely on saddles, Chen Hui after Jiang Xue's dress, suddenly had a feeling of counterattack, standing next to me really has a feeling of not eating the fireworks of the world, Jiang Xue held a pen, hugged her shoulders, circled around Chen Hui twice like a judge, and nodded.

Chen Hui asked beautifully: "How is it, does it feel radiant?" ”

We: "......"

Jiang Xue looked at me and said, "What's the matter, don't you try?"

I waved my hand: "It's been a few years, and I still need to try on your clothes?" Absolutely. ”

Jiang Xue smiled: "I love to hear this."

Chen Hui dragged the new clothes on the side, and I said, "By the way, I have to go out for a job tonight."

Jiang Xue said: "What a job." ”

I flipped through the magazines on the table and said seriously: "Two days ago, a man came to me, he had dirty things in his house, and he was always thrown into the corridor when he slept at night, and every time he was stripped naked and thrown into the corridor. ”

Chen Hui asked, "Male or female?" ”

I glared at him: "Of course it's a man, a strong man of 1.85 meters." ”

Chen Hui said in frustration: "What else does that mean?" ”

"I thought it was nothing serious, so I asked him to go back and burn the paper to see if he could buy it, but he called today, and the thing appeared again."

Jiang Xue asked, "Are you two coming back tonight?" ”

I said, "Come back, if nothing else, it's easy to solve." ”

Chen Hui did two stretching exercises and said, "I haven't moved my muscles and bones for a long time, and we haven't worked for a long time." ”

I said, "What's the solution, who will make the world peaceful?" ”

Chen Hui: "I'll take the clothes upstairs first." With that, he picked up the big bags of things on the table and went upstairs.

Jiang Xue held her chin and looked at me: "You say, let's not do fortune telling, how about turning the small faΓ§ade into another business."

I was worried, "That's fine, but what are we going to do to open a counseling room?"

Jiang Xue said: "Come on, I want to resign every minute now." ”

I said, "You're not going so well? ”

Jiang Xue looked at me with a sad face and said, "I'm very tired." ”

Me: "I've got my idea, but I'll have to go upstairs to catch up on my sleep now." ”

Jiang Xue said, "I'm a big-headed ghost."

Chen Hui came down from upstairs and asked when he came in, "What are you two talking about, it's so lively."

Jiang Xue said, "I didn't say anything."

Chen Hui said sourly: "It's still hiding it from me."

I said, "We decided to do business with your strong body, it's a good deal."

Chen Hui glared and scolded: "That thing is not allowed by law!"

I slapped the table, pointed at him and scolded, "You deserve it too!"

Jiang Xue: "What are you two talking about?"

Chen Hui said with a simple face: "Now it's a great way to catch scalpers."

Jiang Xue and I were confused: "Scalper?"

Chen Hui nodded and said, "That's right!" Didn't you make me a clone queue up overnight to buy tickets and sell them? ”

Jiang Xue said: "You think too much, we can't do that kind of lack of morality."

Chen Hui turned his head and looked at me with an evil smile: "Boss, what kind of business did you just say?"

Looking at Chen Hui's expression, I stuttered: "I ......"

The evil smile, the eyebrows rolled down the mountain with the raised corners of the mouth, and the expression on his face...

"I went to sleep."
