Chapter Twenty-Three: There's something I want you to help with
This night's tossing did make Zhou Xiaochuan tired enough, and after returning home, he didn't care about washing, so he fell asleep on the bed. It wasn't until the alarm clock on his phone rang in the early morning that he sat up from bed yawning.
Just as he was about to go to wash up, he suddenly found that the mouse who had helped take out the key last night was in his house, lying on top of a tomato he had just bought yesterday, munching on it. At least half of the fist-sized tomato had already entered the mouse's belly.
As for Xiao Hei, he was lying under the bed and sleeping soundly at this moment, as if he didn't notice the movement of the mouse tossing out at all.
Seeing the mouse, Zhou Xiaochuan's first reaction was to take a broom, but he quickly calmed down again, frowned and asked, "Why are you in my house?" ”
The mouse was not at all disgusting, but still held the half of the tomato and gnawed on it, and replied vaguely: "I am here to remind you, don't forget the roast duck that promised me last night!" ”
Zhou Xiaochuan snorted angrily: "Don't worry, I will never forget, I will give it to you when I come back tonight." However, I also have to give you a warning: from now on, you are not allowed to come into my house without my permission. Otherwise, I'll summon a hundred and ten cats and let them chase you in this building!" ”
At this moment, the mouse couldn't care about eating tomatoes, and raised his little head in shock to look at Zhou Xiaochuan: "Human, your trick is too ruthless, right?" ”
Zhou Xiaochuan shrugged his shoulders: "There's no way, if you don't be ruthless, it won't make any difference against you rats." ”
"Okay, I'm afraid of you, I'll go." The mouse snorted, picking up the remaining half of the tomato and burrowing into the dark corner, but within two seconds, it poked its little head out again: "Human, before leaving, I have to remind you once, remember the roast duck you promised me." Otherwise, I'll bite your ear off while you're asleep! ”
Zhou Xiaochuan snorted as a reply, and then began to wash up and change into dry clothes.
From beginning to end, Xiao Hei was sleeping soundly, and there was no sign of waking up at all.
Zhou Xiaochuan couldn't help but be a little worried, and hurriedly stepped forward to check on Xiao Hei, and found that although it was sleeping soundly, its vital signs were quite normal, and there was no problem at all.
"Maybe it's because I've just recovered from a major injury, and my mental and physical strength haven't fully recovered, so I'm so sleepy." Zhou Xiaochuan finally came to such a conclusion, and did not wake up Xiao Hei, but just put a specially cooked dog food for him in the corner, and then gently pushed the door out.
Just when Zhou Xiaochuan came downstairs and was about to ride a bicycle, an Audi A8 drove straight over and stopped in front of the entrance of the building.
With the support of a middle-aged man, Uncle Zhang stepped down from the Audi A8. I don't know what the reason is, but Zhang Aijia didn't appear here.
Zhou Xiaochuan saw that the middle-aged man's appearance was somewhat similar to Uncle Zhang, and guessed that he should be Uncle Zhang's son.
And the conversation between the two also proved the correct surname of Zhou Xiaochuan's guess.
The middle-aged man supported Uncle Zhang and persuaded him: "Dad, don't be stubborn anymore, let's go home and live with us, you can live in this place again......"
"What's wrong with this place? Okay, now that you're rich, you look down on this place? Uncle Zhang raised his eyebrows, looking a little unhappy: "This place is where I lived with your mother, and it is also the place where your kid grew up Chengren." Only here will I feel that your mother is still alive and living with me! Besides, what can you do when you go back to your home? Is it to look at your little daughter-in-law, or to see you and Ai Jia quarreling? Oh, by the way, I almost forgot that Ai Jia had already moved out to study and live......"
"Dad......" The middle-aged man was very embarrassed to be trained, but he still didn't give up and wanted to continue to persuade him. However, Uncle Zhang no longer paid attention to him, but set his sights on Zhou Xiaochuan. The old face that was originally sulking suddenly laughed: "Xiao Zhou, are you going to work again?" ”
"Yes, Uncle Zhang." Zhou Xiaochuan first responded, and then asked puzzledly: "Why were you discharged from the hospital today?" Don't stay in the hospital for a few more days, observe and recuperate, what if you have a sequelae? ”
Hearing Zhou Xiaochuan's words, the middle-aged man's face suddenly sank. However, Uncle Zhang didn't care at all, because he could hear the friendship contained in Zhou Xiaochuan's words. So, he joked with a smile: "Hey, you bastard, are you talking and cursing me?" Just this sentence to you, the next time I play chess with you, I will definitely kill you...... Let me tell you, the old man, my body and bones may be tougher and stronger than yours, and where will there be any sequelae? ”
After saying this, he turned his head to the middle-aged man and introduced: "This Xiao Zhou is my neighbor, and his spleen surname and chess skills are very fond of me, so he can be regarded as a year-old friend of mine." This time, it was all up to him to save me, otherwise, you wouldn't have sent me back here today, but would have gone to the cemetery to choose a seat for me. ”
As soon as he heard that his father was saved by Zhou Xiaochuan, the dissatisfied expression on the middle-aged man's face suddenly disappeared, he supported Uncle Zhang with one hand and stretched out to Zhou Xiaochuan with the other. While shaking hands, he said with sincere gratitude on his face: "Mr. Zhou, thank you for saving my father, you are the great benefactor of our Zhang family." If there is anything I need Zhang Linkai to do in the future, just tell me, I will never shirk! As he spoke, he took another business card with his name and mobile phone number printed on it and gave it to Zhou Xiaochuan.
"Don't be so polite, neighbors should take care of each other." Zhou Xiaochuan didn't take the middle-aged man's words too seriously, just out of politeness, he took the business card and put it away, and then pushed his pedal boat that rang everywhere except for the bell, and said as he walked: "I'm sorry, I have to go to work, so I won't chat with you." ”
Uncle Zhang stopped him at this time: "Xiao Zhou, if you can, come to my house when you get off work in the evening." ”
Zhou Xiaochuan turned around and said with a smile: "What, can't wait to play chess with me?" In my opinion, let's wait until you're fully recovered. lest you lose when you get it, and you lie and say that it is caused by your physical discomfort......"
Uncle Zhang's expression at the moment was rare and serious, and he shook his head and sighed lightly: "It's not a game of chess, it's something I want to ask you to help with." ”
The middle-aged man's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and he wanted to speak, but in the end he endured it.
Seeing the different expressions of the two, Zhou Xiaochuan couldn't help but be a little curious, but he didn't ask more, just nodded and responded: "Okay, when I come back from work in the evening, I'll visit you." With that, he stepped on his bicycle, waved goodbye to the two of them, and rode in the direction of the flower and bird market. (Kneel and beg for a recommendation vote!!) )
