Wait until dawn, it is the Chinese New Year's Eve. came early in the morning, and my father urged Cheng Liping and Liu Weiguo to post Spring Festival couplets. After the Spring Festival couplets at home were pasted, I drove to the Shell Hotel again. When I got there, I saw that the Spring Festival couplets had already been pasted, and He Yong, Conscience Kitchen and others were preparing ingredients there, saying that someone had booked a table at noon today, and business was doing normally. Cheng Liping smiled bitterly: "How can you work so hard, the money can't be earned." The conscientious chef smiled honestly and said, "Brother Cheng, I have already received the deposit from others, and I can't regret it." ”

Cheng Liping said: "That's okay, you will be busy today first, and you will go to my house for dinner in two days." ”

The conscience chef and others agreed, and Cheng Liping drove home. Halfway through, Du Deyong drove a police car and stopped Cheng Liping. After looking at Cheng Liping up and down for a while, Du Deyong said with a smile: "What's the matter, do you still want to spend the New Year in the scenery of Licheng?" ”

Cheng Liping said with a smile: "If you don't have a place to celebrate the New Year, go to my house, don't play prestige on the road, in case someone takes a photo, be careful that you can't eat and walk around." ”

Du Deyong nodded and said, "Okay, this is what you said, I'll go over to eat at noon today." ”

Cheng Liping laughed and drove away. I went home for breakfast and started cleaning. After finishing these things, I have to start preparing dumplings again. In the past, Cheng Liping was not at home, the second elder was deserted during the New Year, and cooking was not interesting. This year, the son and daughter-in-law are at home, and there is such a friend as Liu Weiguo, and the Cheng family is full of joy and happiness. At noon, the meals were ready, and Cheng Hongbin also called, saying that he would give Uncle Cheng and Aunt Cheng a New Year's greeting. When my parents thought that Hongbin's family had left a foreign land, they couldn't help but feel sad. Fortunately, Aunt Cheng took the phone and gossiped with her mother for a while, and her mother's mood improved a lot.

According to the rules of Li Cheng, when eating on the thirtieth day of the Chinese New Year's Eve, the relatives and neighbors in the courtyard must send dumplings to each other. In the past, Cheng Liping's family was relatively ordinary, and basically no one came to the door. Now the Cheng family is not what it used to be, and there are a lot more people coming and going. Cheng Liping didn't like this kind of entertainment scene, and took Tian Zicheng and Liu Weiguo directly to the Shell Hotel. After a while, Du Deyong called, opened his mouth and scolded: "Cheng Liping, you don't talk about faith, you said that you would go to your house for lunch, what the are you?" ”

Cheng Liping smiled: "What time did you say you were having lunch?" ”

Du Deyong said: "Isn't this just half past one, and you will finish eating?" ”

Cheng Liping said: "Okay, the Shell Restaurant is waiting for you, if you are late, you won't have anything to eat." ”

Du Deyong said: "Wait." Fuck, Chinese New Year's Eve, few restaurants outside are open. ”

When he arrived at the Shell Hotel, Du Deyong was actually faster than Cheng Liping, and he was standing on the road outside the hotel waiting. Seeing Cheng Liping coming, Du Deyong pursed his lips and said, "Boy, I don't eat your alone, eat your meal, and send you a useful message." ”

Cheng Liping smiled and said, "Okay, let's go in." ”

He Yong, Conscience Chef and others had just finished the business of the restaurant, and they had made a table of wine and food before the table was served. Seeing that Cheng Liping and Liu Weiguo were coming, they immediately gave up their positions. Cheng Liping was not polite, he went up and sat down, Liu Weiguo sat next to him, and Tian Zicheng sat on the other side. And Du Deyong has an identity and status, and he sits next to Liu Weiguo, and then He Yong and Conscience Chef. The rest of the workers sat on the other side, and those who had no place took the bowl and served the food out consciously.

Cheng Liping said: "Cook, wrap a red envelope for everyone in a while, it's been a hard year, and it's not easy." ”

The conscience chef smiled proudly and said, "I'm ready." ”

He Yong took out his mobile phone and said, "Come on, come on, everyone join a group, Brother Yong will send you red envelopes today." "Everyone likes to be lively, and they have joined in. When the number of people was full, He Yong's first red envelope was sent out. Cheng Liping casually took it easy, and it was actually more than 100 yuan. Turning his head to take a look, He Yong, this kid, actually stuffed 2,000 yuan in a red envelope. Du Deyong, an outsider, had the best luck, and grabbed more than 300 in one hand. The conscience chef was so weak that he only grabbed seven cents for such a big red envelope.

Everyone laughed and said that the conscientious chef had done too much. The conscience chef's face flushed with shame, and he said that my name is conscience chef, can I do too much of it? Cheng Liping also sent out a red envelope of 2,000, and this time Tian Zicheng took the lead, snatching more than 800 at once. The Conscience Kitchen is still the one at the bottom, but this time he was a lot more lucky, and he grabbed a piece of four. Compared with seven cents, it is a full twenty times more.

He Yong pouted and said, "Brother Cheng, what do you mean, send a red envelope and let your sister-in-law grab the largest share." The left hand comes out and the right hand is taken back, which is too inauthentic. Everyone laughed loudly again, Tian Zicheng's face was flushed with shame, and he directly sent out this more than eight hundred. Coincidentally, this time it was Cheng Liping who robbed more than 600. He Yong was convinced and said: "The money of the two of you, others really can't take it, this is called fate." ”

After an hour of fuss, Du Deyong became the final winner, grabbing a total of more than 3,000 yuan in red envelopes. But in the last two, Du Deyong sent them all out. Before leaving, he said with a smile: "I have caught up with my monthly salary, I don't dare to ask for it, let the Commission for Discipline Inspection find out, then I won't be able to eat and leave." ”

Cheng Liping sent Du Deyong out, Du Deyong got into the car, and suddenly turned back to Cheng Liping and said, "The New Year has passed, let's go quickly." If you don't leave, there may be another incident. ”

Cheng Liping nodded and said with a smile: "Don't worry." ”

The Chinese New Year's Eve passed smoothly, but unfortunately Li Cheng is now a district of Suxu, and Suxu's policy is to strictly prohibit fireworks. So even though it's the New Year, the festive atmosphere on the streets is much less than ever. Cheng Liping took Tian Zicheng and Liu Weiguo back to the house, and before they could sit down at home, a sudden call came from the Shell Hotel, saying that a group of people with machetes and baseball bats rushed in just now, injuring Conscience Kitchen and He Yong, and several other guys were injured.

Cheng Liping raised his eyebrows and stood up suddenly, Liu Weiguo had already heard that something was going on, and he also got up. Tian Zicheng was accompanying her mother to clean up the dinner table, and she didn't pay attention to the living room. Cheng Liping asked in a low voice, "What's the matter?" ”

The guy on the phone said: "I don't know, this group of people smashed when they came in, and they beat people when they saw them, and they didn't say anything." ”

Cheng Liping knew what was going on, needless to say, it must have been sent by Brother Sheng from Su Xu's side to do it. Well, I didn't settle the general account with him, and he actually sent someone to call the house. Cheng Liping took a breath, told Liu Weiguo to stay here, explained to his parents and Tian Zicheng, and quickly drove to the Shell Hotel.

When we arrived at the Shell Hotel, the police had already arrived. The person who went to the police was not someone else, Du Deyong, who was still having dinner together just now. Seeing the mess in the restaurant, Du Deyong only felt that his scalp was numb. He was full of thoughts about hurrying up for the New Year, and sent Cheng Liping away, and he didn't know which guy who didn't open his eyes and made trouble to this god. Well, this time, it looks like another storm is coming.

Cheng Liping didn't pay attention to Du Deyong, first, he was not in the mood, and second, there were other policemen there, so he had to consider avoiding suspicion. Call a guy and ask how Yuko and the cook are injured and which hospital they are sent to now. The guy said that his back was slashed with a knife, and he was bleeding more. Cheng Liping breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that this group of gangsters is also a veteran, and they know that the probability of slashing people to death is relatively low if they cut them in the back.

Du Deyong followed in and said, "Lao Cheng, don't come nonsense, the police have launched an investigation and will definitely give you an explanation." ”

Cheng Liping smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll go to the hospital to see them." Tell Vice Mayor Du that what he is worried about will not happen in Licheng. ”

Du Deyong understood that this group of people must have come from other places, so Cheng Liping promised not to cause trouble in Licheng. However, even if it is a foreign country, it will not be far from Li City, otherwise those people will not be able to come over to make trouble in the Chinese New Year's Eve. was trying to persuade Cheng Liping not to go his own way, but Cheng Liping's mobile phone rang again. After connecting, it was Liu Weiguo over there. Liu Weiguo suppressed his voice and said, "It's Su Xu's gang, two cars came, and they just arrived at the gate of Chengjia New Village Community." ”

With Liu Weiguo there, Cheng Liping naturally didn't worry about the safety of his family. But he was worried that his parents would be frightened, so he immediately said coldly to Du Deyong: "They have already gone to Chengjia New Village, if you really want to make a big deal small, send someone over quickly." ”

Du Deyong was taken aback, who the is this, the New Year is not idle. A phone call was made to the Chengguan Town Police Station, which replied that the police had been received, and the director and the instructor were on their way with their colleagues. hung up the phone, and the leaders of the city bureau called in a series of phone calls, all asking what was going on and who dared to smash Cheng Liping's field.

Du Deyong replied in a few words, and hurriedly led people to drive to Chengjia New Village. Cheng Liping didn't care about going to the hospital to visit He Yong and Conscience Kitchen again, and drove behind. The two people got out of the car with steel pipes, machetes, and baseball bats, and before they could enter the community, they were arrested by the police who surrounded them from all directions. When Cheng Liping came back, the police had already cleared the scene, and when he went up, he saw that Liu Weiguo was standing at the door.

Mom and Dad didn't know what was going on, but they weren't frightened, they just said that this group of young men was evil, and how did they come out to cut people for the New Year. This time he was arrested by the police, and his family must have been worried about death. Tian Zicheng glanced up at Cheng Liping, and knew that something was wrong, but it was not her fault in this matter, and she didn't say anything.

Half an hour later, Cheng Liping's phone rang. When I heard it, it was Du Dezhong's voice over there.

"Xiao Cheng, don't be impulsive."

Cheng Liping hung up the phone with a "chirp".

went out with Liu Weiguo and went directly to the hospital to visit Conscience Kitchen and He Yong, the injuries of the two were not light, but they were not in danger of life. The rest of the guys were also stabbed, but they were all simple skin injuries, and they were all over after lying in the hospital for a few days. He Yong gritted his teeth and whispered, "Fuck, those boys, Lao Tzu remembers them." When I go out, I must let them know how many eyes Ma Wang Ye has. ”

Cheng Liping smiled and said, "Okay, go directly to Hong Kong to find me in the future." I'll do it for you when I get back. ”
