Chapter 20: Indulge in the riverbank

There is a river behind Wang Chao's village, it is said that this river has a history of nearly a thousand years, and it has been diverted by floods many times, but the surprise is that no matter how the upstream is changed and the downstream is changed, it has never changed here in Wang Chao's village, so people in the old days said that the feng shui in the village was good.

When the brothers were young, they always liked to run to the river, they came in the spring because they caught scarabs to feed the chickens, in the summer they came to swim in the cool, in the autumn they came to pick the bunches of wild grapes on the river slope, and in the winter they came to see the snow-covered river.

"Chao, I heard my uncle say that you have made a fortune, what are you doing now that you have made a fortune, and you have bought a car and a house in Yanjing, I heard that the house there is expensive, it seems that your kid is really good", buddy walked, Wang Zheng asked me.

"I'm doing antiques with my friends now, and I've made some money, so it's a bit of an opportunity."

"Antiques? When did you know about antiques again? I heard that it is very valuable, but there are also many fakes, so you should be careful of being deceived."

Wang Chao smiled and said: "Yes, this line is indeed less true and more fake, so you have to be more careful when doing it." By the way, what are you doing now? I'm still running a grain and oil store."

"Yes, what can I do, I don't just do this"

"Go to Yanjing with me to do antiques, you don't need to pay, I'll give you thirty percent of the shares at that time, you just help me keep an eye on it, I don't have anyone I trust there."

"Forget it, I can't even speak Mandarin standard, and it's not enough to be ashamed of you when I go to my hometown, and now I have my home in the city, although this grain and oil store can't make a lot of money, but life is okay, and I can take care of the elderly at home, and my parents are old and dare not leave."

Hearing him say that, Wang Chao was not only a little silent: Yes, in ancient times, parents were there and did not travel far, although now they are not so particular, but every parent hopes that their children can stay in front of them. My sister is married so far away, and she is always outside, although her parents don't say it, they must not feel good in their hearts.

When we arrived at the river, the two of us found a flat place and sat down, watching the gentle drinking, and for a moment there was nothing to say.

"Chao, we grew up together since childhood, I know you are a person with great ambitions, but you have never had any opportunities before, now the opportunity is here, you have the ability, just go ahead, my uncle and my aunt here you don't have to worry about it, there is me at home, there is anything I can do for you, I will pick it up for you, I can't help and then notify you."

"Xiexie", Wang Chao not only choked up when he heard it, yes, this is not a brother's friendship but it is better than a brother's friendship, and it can't be exchanged for ten thousand taels of gold.

"Why are you polite to me, this is what I should do. Ever since I was rescued by my uncle from the river, I have secretly sworn in my heart that I will treat him as my own father."

When Wang Zheng was a child, he played on the frozen river in winter, and when he slipped into the middle of the river, the ice was too thin and broken, and he fell into it all of a sudden. Fill the hot water bottle warm, finally relieved, but my dad fell the root of the cold leg, until now, so Wang Zheng not only gave my dad a New Year's greeting, but also usually whether I am at home or not, nothing always run to see what work to do, and then he went to the city to come less, but as long as he comes back, he will always bring some wine, meat, vegetables, and drink two glasses with him, so many years have passed, he has never put it down, and it is better for my dad than to his dad, saying that the old man gave him the first life, and my dad gave him the second time, So he now has two fathers, and he buys things in double portions.

"Okay, I'm not going to be polite to you, so what, are you short of money now? I have a little spare money in my hand to give you now, not much, only 500,000, you see if you can expand the store or buy a suite or something, now the house price has been rising, buying a house is better than putting money in the bank."

"It seems that your kid has really made a fortune, give me 500,000 yuan for this mouth, I think you should first flip the house at home, I told my uncle, next year to flip the house, I will add 20,000. By the way, now that you have money, hurry up and marry a daughter-in-law. After so many years outside, do you have a goal? ”。

"No, it's not just a little better, I haven't bothered to think about it", speaking of this, I couldn't help but think of Wang Xinyu in my mind.

This person, I really can't help but chatter, I just thought about her, and the mobile phone came up, and I saw that it was her calling: "What is Wang Chao doing these two days, and he doesn't contact me"

"I wasn't busy for the past two days, so I went back to my hometown."

"Where is your hometown?"

"Hengzhong Lake, have you heard of it?".

"Of course I've heard of it, it's not too far from Yanjing, I didn't expect your hometown to be there, I just haven't had anything to do in the past two days, are you welcome to visit me?"

"Really, that's great" Wang Chao heard it, and involuntarily said it out of his mouth, and was seen by Wang Zheng, and secretly gave me a thumbs up, I ignored him and continued to listen to Wang Xinyu said: "Wang Chao, are you driving back or taking the train?" ”

"I drive".

"Okay, I'll take the train, and I'll take your car back when I go back to Yanjing."

"No problem, when are you coming!"

"I'm going to accompany my grandfather to a physical examination tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, it's estimated that it's going to be afternoon, and then you have to drive to pick me up."

"No problem, tell me the train number when you get on the train the day after tomorrow, I will check the arrival time, and I will pick you up in advance"

"Haode, that's zaijian"

"zaijian", after saying that, he hung up the phone.

"What are you laughing at me?"

"Okay, boy, I just said that I want to introduce you to someone, it turns out that you already have it, and people are going to chase you to the house, not bad, tell me quickly, what is she doing."

"Why, I've met her a few times, and I haven't reached that yet, but I'm familiar with her grandfather, who is a well-known antique expert."

"When you talk about making antiques with your friends, you are with her grandfather, now it's okay, when you really become it, the old man will definitely give you a gift. Tell me how you met."

I really couldn't resist him, so I told Wang Xinyu about my acquaintance with Wang Xinyu and the drinking in the bar, "Oh, it turns out that at the beginning, yes, this hazy time is the most attractive, cherish it."

"Yes, I think this girl is good, has a good personality, and she doesn't have the domineering of a rich person, so I appreciate it."

The atmosphere of the two of us talking and laughing suddenly changed.

"By the way, Wang Zheng, do you know if any of our classmates in the city are also engaged in my business?"

"There is really one who is doing it, I heard that it is okay, it is Zhang Chao, hehe, the one with the same name and different surname as you, you two became the two supers in the class back then."

"Ah, he does this too, I really didn't expect it, but let's do it here?"

"We are also a famous historical and cultural city here, why don't you do it, you forgot, our history teacher said that our county is a treasure, but unfortunately it has not been excavated."

"Oh, you're talking about Yuan Benchu, the fourth and third dukes of the Three Kingdoms, history records that he was buried here after his death, and the things that accompanied the burial went to the sea, but unfortunately it has not been found, otherwise we have another visit point here in addition to Hengzhong Lake."

"No, but I heard that in recent years, some people have dug up some things, it is said that it is his tomb, and some say that it is one of his clothed tombs, anyway, Zhang Chao, this kid is doing this now."

"That's okay, gather our classmates every day, and the focus is on calling him."

"Haode, I'll call now", Wang Zheng took out the phone and began to dial, "Zhang Chao, are you in the city?" Let's not go out tomorrow, we haven't been drinking together for a long time, let's get together, it just so happens that Wang Chao is also back....okay, I'll let him talk to you", he handed me the phone as he spoke.

"Erchao, I want you kid to die"

"Who is the second super, I am the super, you kid is the second super" - Wang Chao and Zhang Chao were called the second super, but no one wanted to be the second, so from age, to size, study rankings, etc., Zhang Chao was in second place many times, so he was also called the second super by me many times.

"I'll go to see you in the city tomorrow and invite you to dinner by the way"

"How can it, we are already very honored that you can go back to your hometown to visit these old folks, how can we let you break the bank, I will invite you to eat tomorrow at noon, Wang Zheng knows that place, and let him bring you over then." In addition, I will make an appointment with a few more classmates, and when there are many people, everyone will take it as a class reunion";

"Okay, no problem, I'll be on time tomorrow at noon"

"Okay, then we'll see you tomorrow."

handed the phone to Wang Zheng, and then he continued to inform other classmates, making nearly 20 calls, "I'm tired, hey, you kid have to reimburse me for the phone bill", he said to me with a smile.

"No problem".

Then we got up, picked up a few pebbles, and walked back.

"Wang Chao, do you remember Wang Rui?"

"Remember, how is she?"

"Alas, she is quite unfortunate now, she has just had a child after two years of marriage, her husband is gone in a car accident, and she has been alone now. She didn't follow you back then, which was her retribution."

"Forget it, it's all over, don't mention her, you ask, if she needs help, help her."

"I knew you kid was an emotional person. At that time, I was wondering if I should match you two again, but now it seems that I don't need to, hehe."

"I haven't seen each other for many years, and I don't have any common topics, and besides, I have a little bit of a feeling with Wang Xinyu now, and I can't think about her differently."

"I think so, but I can't help but say it. Let's go, go home and drink."

Wang Chao and his father and Wang Zheng were drunk at night, Wang Chao said: "Dad, mother, Wang Zheng, you are my relatives, I will be a human in the future, and I will surprise you, I want to let the whole shijie prostrate at my feet, I want to be the king of shijie", and then he vomited and slept darkly.

The next day until 10 o'clock did not wake up, Wang Chao felt a splitting headache, but the thought of meeting with his old classmates, so he endured and climbed up, at this time Wang Zheng had already gone to the field with Wang Chao's father to pull a cart of corn, Wang Chao felt very ashamed, he had never drunk so much before, although there was a peep at the sky, but he subconsciously did not work, so the performance of his true colors was not good.

After their grandfather had breakfast, Wang Zheng went back to his house, and came back after a while, Wang Chao was about to drive Wang Zheng to the city, Wang Zheng said: "Forget it, let's drive my motorcycle, it's convenient to go anywhere, and it's flexible, your car may not run my motorcycle in our small city", Wang Chao thought about it, so he got on Wang Zheng's motorcycle, and the two went straight to the county seat.

When they arrived in the city, the two of them found the Shiweitian Hotel, and when they walked in, they saw a thin young man playing with his mobile phone there: "Zhang Chao? ”

"Wang Chao?" The two punched each other, and then hugged each other warmly.

was chatting energetically, and after a while, the classmates came one after another, and everyone was fighting and making trouble, telling each other about their feelings of parting for many years.

After a while, Wang Zheng invited everyone to give up their seats and let the restaurant start serving.

After a while, the cups and plates were listed, a table full of dishes was served, and the wine was also served, and everyone drank the wine of the three members together, and then toasted each other.

"Xiaochao, it's been a long time, let's go one", it was their squad leader Tang Qiming who spoke

"Yes, squad leader Tang, we haven't seen each other for 12 years, let's have a drink......

"Chao, I respect you, I heard that you are doing well in Yanjing, you will have to pull me in the future", Liu Xiaohu, the sports commissioner of the year, spoke.

"Come on, Brother Tiger, I heard that you opened a taekwondo gym in our city, then you won't be making money every day, don't cry with me, come, toast you, I wish you a prosperous birthday and wealth from all directions"......

"I'm just a little old man at best, where is it better than coming from your big city, it's all nonsense, let's go"

"Let's go". ……

"Wang Chao, you were a great talent back then, are you still the same as before, come to my sister to respect you"

"Yo, Organizing Committee Member Liu, you have been good for so many years, I respect you, I wish you more and more beautiful"

"Pull it, it's getting more and more beautiful, that's my daughter, I didn't expect you, a big talent with a stuffy head back then, to be able to say it now, it's really impressive every three days."

"Sister Liu, please" After Wang Chao finished speaking, he raised his head and dried the wine in the cup.

In this way, a total of 15 people pushed the cup and changed the lamp, and drank happily, at this time, I suddenly saw Liu Qian, the organizing committee member of the year, answer the phone, and then smiled mysteriously at me, pulled the door and went out.

Everyone didn't pay attention and continued to drink.

As soon as the door opened after a while, Liu Qian came in, walked up to Wang Chao, leaned in his ear and said, "Wang Chao, you come out", and walked out again without waiting for Wang Chao's party to react.
