Chapter 560: The Dream Begins (Part II)
On the day before the National Day, Lao Bai finally got his wish to get the marriage certificate again, although it was the second marriage, but this time it was a completely different feeling, after two years of twists and turns, Lao Bai felt that he really understood the meaning of marriage, and also found his own happiness.
In fact, when he was with Wu Mei, Lao Bai's life was also very easy, but he had no sense of accomplishment, and he didn't feel like the head of the family, it was more like getting by, feeling like doing nothing, and he always felt that something was missing, so that there would be a sense of crisis, or he wouldn't have made so many troubles. But with Xie Huiying, there is a very confident and positive feeling, and Lao Bai seems to prefer this feeling.
Perhaps the essence of marriage is: there is no good or bad, only suitable and inappropriate, which is the most important thing.
Originally, Lao Bai still wanted to stop doing business on the National Day holiday, but Xie Huiying was still reluctant, and the daily rent, water and electricity had to be earned! So he made a compromise, and only did it in the morning during the National Day, which allowed Lao Bai to find an opportunity, had lunch, took Xiao Min away early, and then closed the roller shutter door, and continued to work in his temporary small room. Xie Huiying no longer refused, and got a marriage certificate, which is Lao Bai's wife. This time, Lao Bai made two steamed buns in the afternoon, and he was sweating profusely......
……
Compared with Lao Bai's happy life, Lao Gu Ke is more uncomfortable, first of all, the eldest wife shook her hand and went to her daughter and son-in-law, and the province was upset to see so many relatives who couldn't beat the eight poles, if it weren't for Lao Gu Gang giving his daughter 300,000 yuan last month, the eldest wife would probably be furious. There are so many relatives at once, no one can figure it out!
Lao Gu didn't have time to pay attention to the eldest wife's affairs, and it was okay if he wasn't there, so unnecessary troubles would happen. Now I am busy picking up people at the station, the relatives of the two families are all arriving in the morning of eleven, Lao Gu is lacking in skills, so I have to ask Miao Xiang to help, drive a van and take Liu Jiarong to pick up Liu Jiarong's family, although Liu Jiarong has a POLO, but it is only in the town, and she has never been out of the town at all, how dare she drive to the station by herself! Besides, the car was too small, so I had to ask Miao Xiang to help. Lao Gu and Li Jiumei took a bus to pick up Li Jiumei's family.
Good guy, a group of people came out of the station, although Lao Gu was mentally prepared, but he was still stunned, and there were almost two children in each family, among which Li Jiumei's third sister, in order to give birth to a son, still raised four children, a total of 37 people with the old and the young, and a total of 37 people with children and daughters, plus Liu Jiarong's family, exactly forty people. Looking at Li Jiumei's eldest sister's children in their twenties, they can't open another room, so they don't necessarily live with their parents! It seems that the fifteen standard rooms I have booked are not enough! It's seriously over my budget!
Lao Gu shook his head vigorously, rubbed his eyes, counted the number of people, and wondered in his heart: Fuck, how does this family planning work? I have so much effort to raise a son, why is it so easy for this group of goods to have a child, like a chicken laying eggs, how much fine do you have to pay!
Fortunately, I rented a bus, otherwise a minibus may not be enough. This ninth sister didn't make it clear to herself, in fact, Li Jiumei herself was confused, she was not at home all the year round, and there were so many sisters, she couldn't remember how many children there were.
Listening to the introduction of the ninth sister, Lao Gu greeted them one by one, and they were all brothers-in-law in terms of seniority! After just saying hello in this circle, Lao Gu was a little dizzy and hurried to get in the car and go home. When he arrived in the town, Lao Gu was even more busy, and six more single rooms were added to the standard room. At this time, the entire second floor of the hotel in the town was almost taken down by Lao Gu alone. Then there is the restaurant, and you have to add another table!
This time, Lao Gu caused a lot of sensation in the town, and no one had such a huge group of relatives and friends to visit! Look at it, you have to say that Lao Gu, all inclusive of food and accommodation, this pomp and circumstance, in the end, is a local tyrant! I heard a lot of discussions, and I received a lot of phone calls, and Lao Gu's heart was crying without tears!
"Brother Gu is mighty! How else to say that you are the number one tyrant in town? With this pomp and circumstance, I will never be able to make it out in my life. It's good now, the sales of my box restaurant eleven are also guaranteed! The fat man also rushed over to join in the fun. He has been fine for the past two days, and Zhu Zhiyuan will not go to Macao until October 4.
"Dead fat man, what kind of coaxing? Let me tell you, I will give me a discount on the lunch box here on National Day, don't give me a blind account, I will have to check it when the time comes! Lao Gu said distraughtly.
"Don't worry, quality and quantity! 10% OFF! The fat man said with a smile.
"Alas! I had already predicted the worst, but I didn't expect it to be worse than I thought! Each family has two children, and they are all half-grown children! ”
"Then you still have your phone delivered?" The fat man knew that Lao Gu was also like Zhang Wen, and the family sent some money and a mobile phone.
"! When the time comes, the two children won't fight, forget it! It's almost like 5,000 yuan per house! Lao Gu rolled his eyes and shouted.
"Discounted? Didn't you plan to give 10,000 yuan to each family? ”
"More than forty people will be discounted!"
"Huh! Brother Gu, it's still your cow, the cost has dropped by fifty or sixty thousand all of a sudden! ”
"That's it!"
……
It's also a holiday, Zhang Wenke is relatively happy, not only accompanied by beautiful women, but also has a lot of fun, none of the must-see attractions have been missed, Ji Hong and Shi Jing both like Hawaii. Zhang Wen likes the Grand Canyon the most, they didn't go to a place where tourists are more concentrated, Ji Hong chose a more remote place, empty and magnificent, and put himself in it, as if the whole person was integrated into it, with top guns in his chest, full of pride, who else would be between heaven and earth! There has never been a place where Zhang Wen can have such a strong feeling, this is the favorite feeling of a man! And when I got here, I had to wear a denim suit and a hat worn by the western cowboys, so I felt the most, several people were wearing denim clothes today, and the women looked very beautiful, but Zhang Wen was very domineering, an Oriental person, but he naturally integrated into it, which made Shi Jing and Mo Xinlan and others feel very surprised, this guy always shows something different inadvertently.
stayed in the Grand Canyon for one more day, Ji Hong also found a manor that could ride a horse, specifically to satisfy Zhang Wen's interest, of course, spending money is indispensable, and specially invited a young man to take Zhang Wen to ride a horse, I have to say, Zhang Wen is not very good at studying, but he is still very talented in other places, and he already looks good at the end of the day, watching Zhang Wen galloping on a horse in the open field, Shi Jing and Mo Xinlan are a little stupid, and even Ji Hong is very appreciative of this guy's understanding and physical adaptability.
Of course, no matter how talented it is, it is not good without long-term training, Zhang Wen has worn out both thighs at night, and he walks with a limp, this horse riding is not like horse racing, the butt has been lifted, and it is over after running a lap, but really sitting on the horse, the bumps are still very powerful, and people who have been riding horses for a long time have produced a tacit understanding, with the ups and downs of the horse's back, the natural body will go up and down, and the natural unloading force looks very easy and chic, Zhang Wen is not good, that tacit understanding is only available for long-term horseback riding, so at night, Zhang Wen was already tired, but despite this, he was still interested, and even the young man who took Zhang Wen on a horse praised Zhang Wen's performance.
"Got too much, huh? Tomorrow it's time for us to go to my place! Ji Hong said with a smile during dinner in the evening.
"Two more days, right? In two days I will be able to travel thousands of miles in a day! Zhang Wen is still a little reluctant.
"No, it won't be enough time to delay any longer! Besides, you can ride a horse when you go to my side! Ji Hong said with a smile.
"Really? Great! Let's go tomorrow! ”
"Hmmm! You'll be able to meet a few more acquaintances tomorrow! Ji Hong said mysteriously.
"Oh? Who is it? ”
"You'll find out tomorrow!"
……
From the Grand Canyon to a remote town in Nevada, the condition of the roads along the way is very good, there are few cars, the vision is broad, and the heart is relaxed, which is completely different from the domestic feeling, but Ji Hong seems to be very familiar with this place, which makes Zhang Wen very surprised. Unexpectedly, Ji Hong didn't have much time to come to the United States, but she adapted quite quickly.
Ji Hong's home is in this town, there are no high-rise buildings here, basically small villas, just like what you see in the movie, the environment is beautiful, the space is very large, and there is a grass in front of the door. The town is peaceful and serene, and it feels very comfortable at first sight.
When I entered the door, I saw Ji Qing's sister-in-law Shen Yawen, she has been in the United States for a long time, no way, Ji Hong is very capable of doing business, but she is not so good at taking care of children. Seeing Zhang Wen and his party, Shen Yawen also looked very happy, Zhang Wen picked up Ji Hong's baby, and took a closer look, it was really a bit like Ji Hong, chubby and pink, very cute, fatter than Xiao Fanfan.
"Okay! I didn't expect the whole little thing to be a bit of a level, it's pretty beautiful! Zhang Wen said with a smile.
"Of course, you don't look at who her mother is!" Ji Hong said proudly.
"And her fingers are very slender, very suitable for inheriting my clothes, I plan to take her as an apprentice in the future, and pass on all my skills to her!" A shrill voice sounded, and Ji Hong's face immediately turned green.
"Qian Yi?" Zhang Wen immediately shouted as soon as he heard the person's unique voice. It's so unexpected, I didn't expect the acquaintance Ji Hong said was this guy.
"Hey, hey! Brother, is it not shallow? As soon as you go out, you will be accompanied by beautiful women! Qian Yi said in a weird way.
"Are you at home? Don't say a word, it's haunting all day long! Shen Yawen glanced at Qian Yi and said, she really didn't accept Qian Yi's style of acting, and she was like a thief every day.
"Hey, hey! Sister-in-law, I didn't go out today when I knew my brother was coming! Qian Yi and Shen Yawen laughed together.
"Good boy! Ran to the United States to steal something! What good things did you steal? Half of the meeting! Have Bill Gates been to their house? The Gram/Linton family is okay too! Zhang Wen shouted.
"Huh! I won't talk about it beforehand, let's get down to business first! What about my sister? How are you doing? Why don't you bring her with you. Qian Yi hurriedly changed the topic, this grandson's words are too ugly, what is stealing!
"Okay! It's chubby, a few pounds fatter than before! Zhang Wen said with a big grin.
"Huh? She's a skilled worker, how can you fight when you raise her so fat? Qian Yi exclaimed.
"What kind of fight? Isn't it good for a woman's family to find someone to marry early! Am I still wrong to fatten her? Come to our house every day to eat, and have a virtue with you! Zhang Wen said disdainfully.
"Me! ...... "Qian Yiyi didn't know what to say for a while, every time he met Zhang Wen, he really couldn't talk about him."
"Alright, alright! Go into the house, sit down and say something! Shen Yawen said with a smile, and suddenly the family became lively, which made her feel very happy.
I have eaten Western food for a few days, or hamburgers, which is really boring, and I have eaten stir-fried vegetables here and drunk aged wine, which makes Zhang Wen feel very comfortable, of course, Shen Yawen and Ji Hong are both from the old Ji family, and the craft is still not wrong.
"Brother! I'll take you to a place tomorrow, don't you want to come here to play with guns and cannons? Where I'll take you tomorrow, not to mention guns, even tanks are available, and they can still be driven. Qian Yi drank some wine and began to show off.
"Is there a plane?"
"Hey, hey! You really can't stop me, there are several planes, and they are equipped with machine guns! The question is will you open? ”
"Huh! No! ……”
……
The next day, several people drove a van for more than two hours, and in a very remote place, they entered a private property, and there were two guard-like personnel in camouflage uniforms at the door. Qian Yi didn't know what to say to them, and it took a few minutes to let them in, but I didn't expect Qian Yi to speak a foreign language? Zhang Wen was very surprised, it seems that being a qualified thief also requires knowledge, Zhang Wen can't help but sigh, he has to learn some foreign languages when he goes back! To be a gangster who goes abroad to the world, you also need knowledge!
The car drove in for a quarter of an hour, and I really saw a few planes on the open field, a few tanks in the col in the distance, and all kinds of armored vehicles, and there was still a row of cannons in another place, but they were all very old, Zhang Wen knew that the owner of this was a weapon collector, but he was still shocked when he saw these weapons, how much effort did it take to collect so many weapons and equipment. It's only in the open air, and some of them are in the warehouse, I don't know how many! What a rich man!
It wasn't until they drove to a very simple house that the car stopped, and Qian Yi took them inside, and there were several wolf dogs at the door, and they saw everyone grinning! Qian Yi also wore a camouflage uniform today, but he still looked like a thief, Zhang Wen was a little funny, but he didn't dare to say it, Zhang Wen was still a denim suit today, and he was going to come here today.
Entering the room, a very large house loading and unloading is also very simple, the door is two Makqin heavy machine guns, repaired like new, the world's first killing weapon, really murderous. On the walls are steel helmets, guns, and military maps, and on the other wall there are still cold weapons such as bows and arrows, sabers, etc. It seems that the owner is a complete military fan.
Walk further inside, enter the inner room, it is a bit like a living room, there are a few people drinking tea inside, Zhang Wen took a closer look, and couldn't help but call out: "Ninth brother? ”
"Huh! Zhang Wen Xiaoyou, long time no see! Brother Jiu stood up with a smile and greeted Zhang Wen and the others.
"Aha! Brother Jiu, I haven't heard from you for a long time, and this thief didn't tell me, so I've been worried for a long time! Zhang Wen was really excited, and hugged Brother Jiu with a big grin, and he looked very hard.
"Alright, alright! Lighten it up! I can't afford to push you so hard, this old bone! "Brother Jiu is still a little happy to see Zhang Wen, this guy doesn't have any great skills, but he is very practical to people, and he is not pretentious at all.
"Haha! Not really, right? You're super strong, so it's not a problem to beat me three like this now, right? Zhang Wen let go of his arms and said dissatisfiedly.
"Huh! Being old is being old, what you are talking about is just a momentary explosive force, and the aging of the body is irresistible! Brother Jiu is still smiling, as if this time they met, Brother Jiu's domineering spirit of not being angry and arrogant in the past is not much, and he is more like an ordinary old man.
There is also Yun Na who is doing it, she has been living in seclusion with Brother Jiu since the last time there was infighting in Macau, almost no one knows whether Brother Jiu is still in Macau, in fact, this is only more deterrent, from light to dark, nominally all handed over to his daughter, it is not known how it really is, anyway, now Macau is still taking care of it, especially the Internet, it is estimated that this is also an important reason why Brother Jiu is willing to hand over the casino to his daughter, the times are different, and the way of business is constantly changing.
There is another one who knows it without saying. It must be the owner of this room, sitting there upright and not smiling, and when they saw Zhang Wen, they just nodded their heads.
"This is my comrade-in-arms when I was a mercenary, he is a full-time sniper, hehe, but he kills more people than me! Saved me several times! "Brother Jiu said very easy-going, but he was full of respect.
No wonder he didn't even want to say much, it turned out to be a sniper, it seems that such a person can be a sniper, too, I didn't see that sniper chattering all the time. If there were, it would be almost all braided by now! However, this old man is not a pure foreigner, he seems to be of mixed Eurasian descent, and he looks a little Asian, and they are drinking tea and chatting together! And I drank pure Longjing, not black tea.
Shi Jing and Mo Xinlan, who were present, were a little restrained, and in front of the ninth brother and them, there seemed to be a sense of oppression, especially the woman Yun Na, who gave them a very imposing feeling. Only Zhang Wen still seemed to be nothing, and he also sat down to talk to Brother Jiu, even Qian Yi was not as active as before, staying by Brother Jiu's side, obedient like a cat!
