In the billiards hall, Chen Mingyu and Wu Yue stood next to the ragged billiard table and smoked.

Chen Mingyu touched the flannel tabletop and said, "Today's fight, people are not good, but it smashed your rice bowl into a crack, hehe......"

Wu Yue also smiled bitterly and said, "Today's fight is ...... It's kind of funny! ”

Chen Mingyu spat out the smoke ring and asked, "Wu Yue, if I say something, don't you mind." ”

Wu Yue looked at Chen Mingyu and said with a smile: "If there is anything else to be polite with me, you can say anything you want." ”

Chen Mingyu also smiled and said, "I think, you can't make a lot of money by building this billiard hall, so it's better to do something else." ”

Wu Yue flicked off the cigarette ash and said: "I really can't make a lot of money in this billiard hall, I also want to do something else, but it's not like there is no way." ”

Chen Mingyu said: "If you have this idea, I'll help you find a way in the past few days." ”

Wu Yue looked at Chen Mingyu with some curiosity and asked, "Can you help me find a way?" What way? ”

Chen Mingyu said: "I can't say it now, I'll tell you in a few days." ”

Wu Yue looked at Chen Mingyu so mysteriously and said, "You don't want to introduce me to any job, do you?" I don't have any skills, I don't have a diploma, I can't do anything! ”

Chen Mingyu smiled: "Where do you want to go, what kind of job can I introduce to you!" Besides, in such an era of great change, it is better to do business than to do anything! ”

Wu Yue asked, "Do you have a way to do business?" ”

Chen Mingyu actually doesn't have any way to do business for the time being, but with his experience and ability, it is not a problem to find a way to make money, as long as he is given a few days, let him go to the market for a walk, take a look, and he can definitely find a way to make money, but of course he can't say this to Wu Yue, so he winked at Wu Yue, and said with a mysterious look: "I'll tell you in two days." ”

Wu Yue said a little depressedly: "Damn, when did you learn to sell guanzi!" ”

Chen Mingyu smiled and said, "At most, I'll tell you, is it done?" ”

Wu Yue said: "I'm not in a hurry about this, but, Mingyu, I have to make it clear to you, I don't have much capital in my hands, if you need a lot of start-up capital for the way you find me, then I can't do it!" ”

Chen Mingyu nodded and said, "Okay, I understand, I'll try to find a way that requires less start-up capital." If you really need a lot of start-up capital, then we can also partner! ”

Wu Yue shouted again: "Damn, Mingyu, you haven't found a way yet, have you?" It's not going to be a joke for me, are you? ”

Chen Mingyu also realized at this time that he had accidentally slipped out of his mouth just now, so he snorted, patted Wu Yue's shoulder, and said, "It's not early, I have to go back, let's talk another day." ”

After speaking, Chen Mingyu pulled out his legs and walked out, Wu Yue shouted: "Damn, are you leaving?" The words are not clear, you are messing with me, it's not interesting enough! ”

Chen Mingyu laughed, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go!" Let's go! See you later! ”

……

Chen Mingyu has no house in the city, he has been living in the unit dormitory since he joined the work, he lives in a double room, the person who lives with him is called Xu Changyong, who joined the work a year earlier than him, and usually takes care of Chen Mingyu in life and work, and is Chen Mingyu's eldest brother.

Xu Changyong is a foreigner and is married, but his wife works in his hometown, so Xu Changyong has not bought a house here, and has been living in the unit dormitory.

Although Xu Changyong is a criminal policeman, he still has a bit of literary atmosphere, he can be called a "literary and artistic youth" of this era, and there are several poetry collections on his bedside, all of which are representative poets of Shu Ting, Beidao, Gu Cheng, Jianghe and other hazy schools, and these poetry collections have almost been rotted by him. In addition, Xu Changyong also has a very thick kraft book, on which he copied a lot of his favorite poems, as well as some poems he wrote himself.

For this kraft book, Xu Changyong regards it as his most precious and private thing, which is usually locked in a drawer, and only when he comes back at night, he will take it out to look at it and write it.

Chen Mingyu has long wanted to see the "beauty" of his cowhide book, mainly because he is itching about the poems written by Xu Changyong, but Chen Mingyu begged him several times, and even did not hesitate to use Hongta Mountain to buy him, but Xu Changyong has always maintained a firm belief in the revolutionism of the new generation, and will never be bought by sugar-coated shells.

However, one night, Xu Changyong was inspired to write poetry on the table, and suddenly received an urgent order, he and Chen Mingyu both immediately went to work to perform a task, due to the hurry, Xu Changyong just put the cowhide book in the drawer, but forgot to lock it.

After they finished their mission, Chen Mingyu came back one step earlier, while Xu Changyong was left behind because of something else. After Chen Mingyu returned to the dormitory, he suddenly found that Xu Changyong's drawer was not locked, and immediately took out Xu Changyong's kraft book as if he had found a treasure, and looked at the poems he wrote.

The first poem written by Xu Changyong that Chen Mingyu saw was called "September", which reads as follows:

A patch of wildflowers on the steppe that witnessed the death of the gods

The wind that is far away is farther away than the far away

My piano sobbed and my tears were gone

I return this far land to the grassland

One is called wood and the other is called ponytail

My piano sobbed and my tears were gone

In the distance, only a field of wildflowers condenses in death

The bright moon is like a mirror, and the high hanging grassland reflects the millennium of years

My piano sobbed and my tears were gone

Fight a horse alone across the grassland

After reading this poem, Chen Mingyu couldn't help but be in awe of Xu Changyong! Although he doesn't know anything about poetry, he can also feel the loneliness and loneliness contained in this poem! He didn't expect that Xu Changyong still had such a sensitive, melancholy, and lonely heart under his honest outside, and he also had such a flying literary talent!

After only reading this poem, Chen Mingyu was embarrassed to continue reading, because he felt that the first time he saw it, it was completely out of curiosity, and it could be regarded as a joke, but if he continued to look down, it was a kind of blasphemy against Xu Changyong, a poet dressed as a criminal policeman!

So, with reverence for Xu Changyong, Chen Mingyu carefully put the cowhide back in the drawer.

However, after a period of time, Chen Mingyu accidentally opened a book of poems by Xu Changyong's bedside, and found the poem "September" in it, and then he knew that this poem was not written by Xu Changyong at all, but by the famous poet Haizi! It's just that when Xu Changyong copied this poem in the kraft book, he didn't indicate Haizi's name on it, and Chen Mingyu didn't know anything about poetry, so he didn't know Haizi's famous work, so he mistakenly thought that it was written by Xu Changyong, and therefore worshiped Xu Changyong!

This made Chen Mingyu very depressed, and he regretted that he didn't really see what the poems written by Xu Changyong were like!

However, Xu Changyong was very careful, and since then he has never let his precious kraft book be left alone, so Chen Mingyu has never had the opportunity to read the poems he wrote, which makes Chen Mingyu very regretful.

Chen Mingyu knew that Xu Changyong was a night owl, because Xu Changyong believed that only at night was the most inspired, so Xu Changyong often stayed up late to read poetry or write poetry in his free time.

So, on the way back, Chen Mingyu bought him two donkey meat to burn, so that Xu Changyong was tired of thinking and replenishing his energy. And donkey meat is also Xu Changyong's favorite.

When he returned to the dormitory, Xu Changyong really didn't sleep, he was lying on the bed reading a book. Seeing Chen Mingyu come back, Xu Changyong jumped off the bed all of a sudden, and looking at his expression, he looked very excited.

Chen Mingyu quipped: "Brother Yong, what's wrong with you, you're so excited?" It can't be a little yellow book, right? ”

Xu Changyong immediately reprimanded: "Get out!" It's not big or small, it's a joke with your brother! Your brother and I are people with artistic beliefs, can I read that kind of unhealthy book? ”

Chen Mingyu smiled, handed the donkey meat to Xu Changyong, and said: "Brother Yong, I really admire your spiritual realm, I only hate me for being shallow in learning, I really can't reach it, but I definitely yearn for it!" So, to show my support for you, and to show my admiration and pursuit of art, I bought two donkey meat for you to use as a supper, hoping that this will help you get inspired! If you write immortal poetry because of this, I'm also contributing to the arts, right? ”

When Xu Changyong heard that there was donkey meat burning, he immediately became overjoyed, and hurriedly took it and said, "Don't worry, brother, with your donkey meat burning for supper tonight, I must be like a god!" If this poem is published and a reporter comes to me for an interview, I will definitely tell the reporter about the help you gave me, right? ”

Chen Mingyu quipped: "Success! Brother Yong, then you must write well today! Brother, whether I can see the newspaper in this life depends on your poem! ”

Xu Changyong laughed and said, "Okay, you kid, it's not enough to joke about your brother, right?" Hey, Mingyu, I'll have good news for you! ”

While speaking, Xu Changyong also winked at Chen Mingyu with a wicked smile.

Seeing Xu Changyong's appearance, Chen Mingyu said: "What good news?" Brother Yong, don't make fun of me, it won't be some bad luck, right? ”

Xu Changyong shouted: "Mingyu, you really make me sad when you talk like this, I don't even have any integrity in your heart!" ”

Chen Mingyu smiled: "No! Not! Brother Yong, you are serious! Your position in my heart can be described as a high mountain, and the integrity is absolutely high! Brother Yong, don't sell it, what kind of good news is it? ”

Xu Changyong said: "For the sake of these two donkey meats, I will tell you happily, a big beautiful woman came to you tonight, wants to invite you to dinner, and expresses my gratitude to you." You weren't in the unit at the time, so she asked me to help you bring a message, so that you don't go out tomorrow morning, and wait for her to come to you, she will invite you to dinner at noon tomorrow! ”

After Chen Mingyu listened, he didn't speak, and directly picked up his face and was about to wash.

Xu Changyong was stunned for a moment when he saw this, and shouted, "What do you mean by this, kid?" Why is there no reaction at all? It can't be that I'm stupid to hear that a beautiful woman invites you to dinner, right? ”

Chen Mingyu didn't look back, and said as he walked out: "I regret buying you these two fires now, Brother Yong, you actually lied to me so much, and the beauty invited me to dinner?" And thank me? I don't remember any good things I've done, and I deserve some beautiful woman to come and invite me to dinner. I said Brother Yong, you are still a poet, why don't you make it up a little more outrageous! ”

Xu Changyong shouted: "Hey, you kid really don't believe it!" That beautiful woman's name is Zhang Qian, she is the manager of the county party committee guest house, the one you saved today, she invited you to dinner to express her gratitude, is there anything wrong? ”

Chen Mingyu had already opened the door of the room, and when he heard Xu Changyong's words, he immediately stood in place, it turned out that Zhang Qian invited him to dinner, which really made him unexpected!

"Really?" Chen Mingyu turned around and asked, "Zhang Qian, she came here in person?" ”

"She didn't come here herself! I'm so happy to tell you this, you kid still thinks I'm lying to me, it's really sad for me! Xu Changyong shouted and hit the sky!

Chen Mingyu was very happy with the news, of course he didn't want to have an ambiguous relationship with Zhang Qian, Zhang Qian was the woman of the county party secretary, he didn't have the guts, and he was not interested in getting involved! He was happy because Zhang Qian was the director of the county party committee's guest house, and all kinds of resources must be very large, and if he talked to her, it was very likely that he would find a way for Wu Yue and them to do business, which was faster than him personally going to the market to investigate!

Chen Mingyu smiled and said, "Brother Yong, it's me who blames you!" You're an adult, don't mind! In two days, I'll bring you two more donkey meat to burn to soothe your wounded heart, okay? ”

Xu Changyong said with a painful and serious expression: "It seems that this is the only way to do it!" ”

Chen Mingyu was amused by Xu Changyong's appearance, and walked out with a washbasin.
