81 Old Boys

As the saying goes, the golden nest and the silver nest are not as good as their own kennels, and the words are a little rougher, but when I return home, especially on the side of my nose, the aroma of my sister's cooking has been wafting, and it goes without saying that Yuan Lang is comfortable.

Fortunately, the restaurant was not open in the morning, and Yuan Lang didn't have to get up early, until half past nine, he went to wash up, turned back to the room, closed the door and made that peculiar gesture.

"Those who are in front of the battle, line up in front...... The second level of "soldier" word formula...... Ducobalt print! ”

For Yuan Lang, this is an environment that is too familiar to be cooked, but for the body to absorb aura, this can be regarded as a completely new place, and of course he will not waste it.

Although it is not a full meal for the body, because it is the first time it has been absorbed, Yuan Lang can clearly feel that the aura absorbed this time can basically be worth the weight of the jade gourd that he usually relies on for three or four days in his rented house.

"Xiao Lang, have breakfast, get up and ......"

After absorbing the aura in the small space and reviewing the photo book in his head, Yuan Lang heard the sound of his sister calling downstairs for dinner.

"Xingle! Get off now! ”

Agreed, Yuan Lang hurriedly changed his shoes, and went down the stairs with a crackle.

Taojiang produces fish, so what mutton noodle soup and beef noodle soup are eaten for breakfast in other places, and it becomes fish noodle soup in Taojiang, a little old ginger and garlic to remove the fishy smell, and then sprinkle a little green onion, the noodles cooked in thick fish soup are not only full of umami, but also very refreshing.

"Xiao Lang, it's the fifteenth in a few days, or we will go to Dad's grave that day to worship, okay?"

Watching Yuan Lang finish eating a large bowl of noodles, Yuan Jing discussed while helping to clean up the dishes and chopsticks.

Yuan Jing actually thought about it for a long time last night, after all, boys are not like girls, they can stay in a small town like Taojiang forever, and the younger brother is not the kind of character who pursues peace and stability for a lifetime, and his wife and children are hot pits.

So since my younger brother wants to open a company in Shenzhen and Hong Kong and develop his own business, then she, as a sister, naturally has to support unconditionally, even if she can't help much, even if she helps cook every day and take care of her diet and daily life, at least she can feel at ease.

As for the store, she doesn't want to sell it, after all, it is the property left by her father, and she rents it for two years first, and in case her brother wants to come back, at least there is a place to stay in Taojiang.

"Okay, sister, you can decide this matter."

Yuan Lang nodded, and did not express any opinions, but in fact, according to the photo book, in addition to the first day of the tenth lunar month, which is the ancestor worship festival of my country's people, if you want to worship your ancestors on weekdays, you can go at any time, which is nothing more than an expression of sorrow, but the custom here in Taojiang is that you can only go on the fifteenth day of the first month, and he naturally respects his sister's ideas.

"Okay, then I'll prepare paper money and firecrackers in the next few days."

While getting up, just thinking about helping Yuan Lang bring a cup of tea, a swarthy strong man suddenly came in at the door of the store, and as soon as he entered the door, the man said to Yuan Lang: "Langzi!" ”

"Junko!"

Turning his head and glancing at the swarthy buddy at the door, Yuan Lang was happy, this buddy's name is Liu Shun, he is Yuan Lang's classmate from elementary school to high school, when Yuan Lang went to the public fishing farm to help Yuan Jing fry fish, he went with this buddy, and as a result, both of them were beaten when they went home.

The so-called revolutionary friendship took root at that time.

It's just that this buddy's grades are not very good, he didn't get admitted to college after he went to high school, and he has been helping his family do things, and his family was in the nineties, Taojiang was only popular from the public fishing farm to the individual, so he ran to contract a piece, so the conditions have always been good.

In the past, as long as Yuan Lang returned to Taojiang on vacation, this guy would come to invite him to dinner when he was free, and never asked Yuan Lang to spend a penny.

"Sister Jing called me yesterday and said that you came back, I thought you lied to me!"

Liu Shun looked happy, came over and patted Yuan Lang's shoulder and said, "The fishing ground is fine today, so I'll rush over to take a look." ”

"Junko, you haven't eaten yet, have you? I'll give you a fan too......" came my brother's friend, Yuan Jing quickly got up and gave up a seat.

"No need, Sister Jing." With a sincere smile, Liu Shun hurriedly waved his hand: "I'll just talk to Langzi for a while, I've already had breakfast." ”

"Okay, then I'll get you two beers." Yuan Jing hurriedly went to the freezer and took two bottles of Tsingtao beer and put them on the table: "Let's have a good chat, it's not enough to call my sister." ”

"Thank you, sister."

I haven't seen him for a long time, this guy's already dark skin is even darker, and when he speaks, he shows a mouthful of big white teeth, and he is about to catch up with international friends in Africa, "snap" and use chopsticks to open the beer bottle, while pouring wine, Liu Shun said: "Graduated, right?" Is the job done? ”

"That's it."

As soon as the two of them finished clinking glasses, Yuan Lang asked, "What about you?" What about the fishing business? ”

"Hey, don't mention it."

Speaking of this, Liu Shun shook his head with a bitter look on his face and said: "This year, the general environment is not good, the small environment is not good, and the luck is even worse." ”

"Not really, right?"

Hearing Shunzi say this, Yuan Lang couldn't help but take a closer look at his face, and sure enough, he found that this buddy's career palace was gray, and there were two small dark purple marks on it, which showed that this buddy had encountered at least two things recently, which caused his career to suffer a heavy blow.

"Hey! Not afraid to tell you. After taking a sip of wine, Liu Shun smiled bitterly: "It's really bad luck this year, and two batches of fish fry have died." ”

"Really? You're a veteran! ”

What the aquaculture industry is afraid of is disease, which Yuan Lang naturally knows, but the Shunzi family has been doing this business for a day or two, and logically speaking, it should not have allowed such a large-scale death of fish fry a long time ago.

"Hey, it's hard to put it into words......"

Sighing, Liu Shun continued: "This is still a trivial matter, let me tell you, now the Taojiang fish processing industry is monopolized by the people of the Fisheries Bureau, and the private processing plant, the documents will not be approved by you. ”

"Fisheries Bureau?"

This is the second time that Yuan Lang has heard this name for two days after he has been back, and he can't help but have a strange feeling in his heart.

As soon as Liu Shun said this, Yuan Lang knew why he sighed that the general environment was not good.

Because of the huge output of various fish in Taojiang, the live fish generally enters several surrounding big cities such as Shenzhen and Hong Kong and Linxi through the wholesale market, but this digestion capacity is limited after all, so cooked food, preserved fish, and canned food processing have always been an income that fishermen value very much.

In the past, if there were many processing plants, the price of your house was not suitable, and I could do it for another company, but now if it is monopolized by the Fisheries Bureau, it will become a buyer's market.

"Guanlu raises bastards, and recklessly produces heroes."

Shaking his head, Liu Shun scolded in a temper: "Damn, if the boss from other places invests in opening a processing plant here, the Fisheries Bureau will find all kinds of reasons, you don't have the right documents, you don't have a fishing license, the sanitary conditions are not up to standard, etc., anyway, you will be punished to death, and no one will dare to come if you do it a few times." ”

"Isn't that foolish?" As a Taojiang person, Yuan Lang certainly knows that for thousands of ordinary farmers, this is almost equivalent to cutting off their family's income.

"Hehe, do you know what this is? You also know this person......" With a wry smile, Liu Shun lowered his voice and said, "Liu Minsheng!" ”

"Liu Minsheng?"

Yuan Lang was stunned, he was too familiar with this name, this person was not only his high school classmate, but also had a conflict with this person when he went to school.

When Yuan Lang was in high school, his grades were always good, high school students, they were very simple, whoever had good grades naturally had girls who liked it, at that time, Yuan Lang's class, there was a so-called class flower, called Deng Xin, and secretly wrote him a love letter, but was discovered by Liu Minsheng.

This kid liked Deng Xin very much at the time, plus his father, who was already a big and small leader of Taojiang back then, was used to flying and domineering on weekdays, so he gathered a group of people outside the school and blocked him at the door.

"This kid is a cow now......" Gollum swallowed another glass of wine, Liu Shun shook his head and said: "Last year's civil service examination, Taojiang was the first!" ”

"Hehe, just Liu Minsheng?"

I really don't blame Yuan Lang for not believing it, Liu Minsheng's grades in high school are not good, and he is basically ranked at the bottom of every exam, otherwise Deng Xin would not have hated him at that time.

"Hey, do you really think he's converted?"

Liu Shun laughed and said: "It's not because of his father, he became the deputy county magistrate in charge of the economy last year, and directly got Liu Minsheng to the Fisheries Bureau and became the boss in secret, hey!" Let me tell you, that processing plant was actually opened by this kid, and it was just a name for others! ”

"That's no wonder."

This kind of mountain is far away from the emperor, I don't want to be a big city like Shenzhen, and similar exams are not so strict, and there is a lot of room for dark box operation, with his father, as long as this kid knows how to read, he can basically get the first few if he wants to.

"There's one more thing you're sure you'd be interested in knowing." Hehe smiled, Liu Shun said shyly: "At the beginning of this year, this kid and Deng Xin got married, and ...... It's still Deng Xin chasing him! ”

"Yo! That's the first time I've heard of it. ”

Yuan Lang replied with a smile, but he really couldn't talk about his interest in knowing, what kind of classmates did he add, but at every turn, it was this boyfriend who bought a bag for him, how much did it cost, and how much did his husband get a new car, in fact, to put it bluntly, it was a display space for showing off and comparing with each other, and he really didn't even have any interest in clicking on it.

"After Deng Xin got married, he was assigned to the county TV station as a host!"

Speaking of this woman, Liu Shun looked angry, a BMW mini drove up all day long, looking like he didn't know how bullish X was, he didn't know how much he didn't say, he didn't know and thought he was really a big star.

In fact, that is, after the news broadcast every day, the local TV station broadcasts a certain leader of the county party committee, and which village he went to to visit the lonely and widowed elderly, and which leader went to a certain town to check the local fish fry breeding situation, as long as the name is changed, a set of drafts can be used for a year.

"Hey! This society is much more realistic than when we were in high school. Sighing, Liu Shun shook his head and said, "Now those classmates, you are the only one I can talk to." ”

"Friends, it's not much more expensive."

smiled, Yuan Lang didn't know why he suddenly remembered the old boy movie, the group of people in it were also middle school classmates, but it was also because after graduation, he entered the adult society, many values, and his outlook on life began to change dramatically.

"Yes! Youth is like a rushing river......"

sighed, two more glasses of wine, a bottle of beer quickly bottomed out, Liu Shun was just about to pry open the second bottle, the phone in his pocket suddenly rang, picked up and listened to a few words, Junzi's brows wrinkled deeper and deeper.

"I can't be with you today."

After hanging up the phone, Liu Shun got up and said anxiously: "The fish fry at home are belly turned again, and my father urged me to go back and see." ”

"Then I'll go with you to see it."

Yuan Lang hurriedly got up, although he may not be as good as Shunzi in the technique of raising fish, but three batches of fish fry died this year, he vaguely felt that there was something wrong with Feng Shui, otherwise according to Shunzi's technique, this situation would be difficult to happen, in case there was a problem in Feng Shui, he could still help Shun solve it.

"That's okay, my parents talk about you a lot anyway."

nodded, Liu Shun didn't talk nonsense, and went to the door of the store to start his pickup truck.

"That...... Langwazi ......"

Just wanted to say hello to his sister and say that he was going out, but as soon as he turned around, Yuan Lang saw Wang Yingchun with two panda eyes on his head and appeared at the door of Yuan Ji Xiaofry......
