Chapter Ninety-Eight: Two Paper Bags
At the Sham Shui Po Police Station, Lu Le came out of the superintendent's office with a spring breeze on his face, and winked at Inspector Chen Li, who was waiting outside the door to report on his work.
"Uncle Li, Superintendent Ghost invited me to the Modern Ballroom for a drink tonight, do you want to join us?"
Chen Li looked at the Chaozhou descendant in front of him who he had cultivated with his own hands, his eyes were full of admiration, and he waved his hand and smiled: "The ghost guy invited you and didn't invite me, besides, I am an old bone, and I am not Chaplin, Mo Cheng Dengji?" ”
Lu Le sneered: "Chaplin? Uncle Li, you're not so old-fashioned, are you? People are talking about modern girls now! The kind of fat with big buttocks! ”
Fifteen years ago, Charlie Chaplin's classic silent film "Modern Times" was introduced to Hong Kong, which also made many Chinese know the foreign word modern. For people of Chen Li's age, the word modern is the memory of a generation, and it is easy to associate it with Chaplin, but in the eyes of a young generation like Lu Le, Chaplin is undoubtedly an outdated old product, and the word modern has also become a symbol of fashionable young girls.
"Uncle, you dare to laugh, hit the street!" Chen Li scolded with a smile, and then advised, "Remember to bring gifts at night, the ghost guy invited you to the dance hall to give you a chance to bribe, you must not only know how to drink and dance." ”
Lu Le pursed his lips and said indignantly: "If you don't make meritorious service, you have to give gifts, and if you make meritorious service, you have to give gifts, do you really think Hong Kong is theirs?" Pounce on your mother! Sooner or later, drive them out. ”
"Wait until you reach the position of the first brother and then talk big!" Chen Li said with a smile, "Call it a day immediately, you go back and prepare first, this is the first time you go out alone with the ghost, don't let people look down on you." ”
Lu Le yawned with tears in his eyes, nodded his head to show that he understood, said goodbye to Chen Li in front of the superintendent's office, and turned around to leave.
Behind him, Chen Li looked at Lu Le's lazy appearance, scolded with a smile, turned his face around, and knocked on the door of the superintendent's office.
Out of the gate of the police station, Lu Le lowered his head and touched a cigarette, and as soon as he put it to his lips, a struck match was handed over.
"Ah Xun, it's here." With the match in Wei Shixun's hand, Lu Le lit the cigarette and said hello.
Wei Shixun, who was dressed in a neat military uniform, smiled: "Brother Le, do you have something to do when you finish work so early?" ”
"No! Superintendent Ghost asked me to dance at the Modern Ballroom in Lan Kwai Fong tonight and go home early to change my shirt. Looking down at the floral shirt he was wearing, Lu Le shrugged, "Actually, I think this outfit is good, it's just to drink and dance, do you have to wear a suit and big scalp shoes?" Crazy line! ”
Wei Shixun echoed and smiled, and said, "I'll let the driver drive over." ”
Lu Le shook the cigarette ash, snorted from his nostrils, and after Wei Shixun left, he waved at a military uniform on duty at the door, and ordered: "Go and call Ah Yong over." ”
Not long after, Lin Zhiyong, who was sleeping in the errand room, rubbed his sleepy eyes and came to Lu Le.
"Brother Le, do you have something to do when you finish work so early?"
"You and Ah Xun are really good brothers, and even the words spoken are exactly the same." Lu Le laughed and asked, "Hey! Did you know that your boss moved today? ”
Lin Zhiyong was stunned for a moment, then reacted immediately, and said loudly: "Brother Xian moved? I don't know! He didn't mention it to me. ”
Now when Lin Zhiyong is mentioned outside, everyone knows that he is Lu Le's subordinate, but Lin Zhiyong knows that without Su Jingxian, he is still patrolling the streets in Tsim Sha Tsui.
"Do you still want to carry a sedan chair to invite you? Silly! Lu Le glanced at Lin Zhiyong, took out a face value of five hundred Hong Kong dollars from his wallet and handed it to him, "Buy some gifts to help me explore him, tell him that I have something to do tonight, and I'll go over when he makes trouble." ”
It is one of the traditions of Chaozhou people to move, and after a week of moving, invite relatives and friends to the house to chat and party, the more lively the better, and place the vision of the town house to drive away evil spirits.
"Got it, then I'll go over now." Lin Zhiyong took the money and walked to the bus stop.
……
"Mr. Su, move to a new home, congratulations!"
Yan Xiong came to Su Jingxian's house in Tsim Sha Tsui with two of his military uniforms, and as soon as he entered the door, he instructed them to move the furniture in the wooden house into the car, and at the same time congratulated them repeatedly.
Su Jingxian was squatting on the ground, bowing his head and fiddling with the scattered objects on the ground, when he heard Yan Xiong's voice, he raised his head and glanced at him, and said with a smile: "Thank you, Brother Xiong, you wait a little time first, and when I finish fiddling with these gadgets, we will talk upstairs together." ”
Yan Xiong nodded knowingly, turned around and said hello to the jubilant Su Shoucai and Zheng Liru, and put aside the gift in his hand: "Uncle and aunt, a little caution is not a respect." ”
Receiving the red envelope sent by Zheng Liru, Yan Xiong and Su Jingxian's parents exchanged two words, and seeing that Su Jingxian had already stood up, he motioned for himself to walk towards the attic, and hurriedly followed.
When I came to Su Jingxian's bedroom in the attic, the original beds, tables and chairs had been moved, and the bedroom was a little empty, only there were two exquisite kraft paper bags standing in the corner, and there was nothing else.
Leading Yan Xiong to the corner, Su Jingxian picked up the two paper bags on the ground and flipped them, handed the lighter one to Yan Xiong, and put the other back in its place.
"Brother Xiong, there are a total of 80,000 yuan here, please send it to the walled city, it's hard."
Yan Xiong took the paper bag, solemnly held it in his arms, and said loudly: "Mr. Su, don't worry, you can trust me Yan Xiong, I will definitely handle this matter for you properly, and I will not leave the tail of my hand." ”
Su Jingxian smiled and patted the paper bag in his arms, meaning something: "If it weren't for Brother Xiong, I wouldn't have been able to buy such a cheap new house, everyone just cooperated with each other." Recently, I am planning to start a warning column in the newspaper, and now I am talking with Mr. Liu Fu, if I have the opportunity in the future, I welcome Brother Xiong to come to the China Hong Kong Newspaper at any time. ”
As soon as the words came out, Yan Xiong's eyes were full of joy, and he said in a loud voice: "Thank you Mr. Su for your appreciation!" ”
Last year, Su Jingxian in Yan Xiong's eyes was just an inconspicuous plainclothes, but now goodbye, the other party's words of support have made him grateful to Dade, and the rapid change of identity is emotional.
Just as Su Jingxian and Yan Xiong were talking, there was a sound of footsteps at the staircase.
Lin Zhiyong, who was sent by Lu Le, walked up to the attic with a familiar car, and saw Su Jingxian in the room at a glance, and saw Yan Xiong also standing beside Su Jingxian, Lin Zhiyong looked slightly stunned, and after greeting the two of them one after another, he stood aside and stopped talking.
"Mr. Su, then I'll go to the walled city first." Yan Xiong saw Lin Zhiyong enter the house, nodded at him, and turned his face to Su Jingxian again.
"It's okay, today's hospitality is not good, and on the day of the trouble, I will invite Brother Xiong to the new house to drink." Su Jingxian smiled and made a gesture to him.
After Yan Xiong went downstairs, Su Jingxian turned around, looked at Lin Zhiyong with a smile, and waited for him to speak first.
A hint of surprise flashed on Lin Zhiyong's face, and he said apologetically: "Brother Xian, I'm sorry." I haven't been visiting lately, and I don't even know about your move. ”
Su Jingxian smiled and waved his hand when he heard this, walked to the corner of the wall and picked up another brown paper bag, and came to Lin Zhiyong.
"You're here just in time, so I don't have to make a trip myself." Handing the paper bag to Lin Zhiyong, Su Jingxian explained, "Go downstairs and pick up my car, send this paper bag to Yongji Street, and hand it over to Zhang Yuliang of Lilaixi Pharmacy, and remember to come back for a banquet after sending it." ”
