Two days later, in the evening, the old lady who opened a commissary at the entrance of the Hutong sent her grandson to call me at home, saying that there was a call from Shenzhen.

I thought it was Qin Ming calling, I was eating at this time, the steamed dumplings with pork and cabbage wrapped by the third aunt's milk were eating deliciously.

I said I'd go over when I finished eating, but the kid said no, the phone didn't hang up, and he was waiting there.

As soon as I heard it, I was anxious, this long-distance fee is not low, it costs more than a dollar a minute, and you must know that a person's monthly salary is more than 100 yuan. If this is put aside for a while, the family will not have to eat for a month.

This kid was also in a hurry, and said, "Uncle Chen, hurry up, it will cost money to leave the phone like that." ”

I wiped my mouth with my hand and ran to the mouth of the alley with the child, and when I arrived, I grabbed the phone and gasped and said, "Is it Qin Ming?" ”

The other side immediately replied, and the voice was very loud: "It's me, Chen Yuan, is it you?" ”

I said, "It's me, how expensive this long distance call is!" Say it quickly and concisely. Are you kid short of money again? ”

Qin Ming laughed and said, "Lao Chen, I'm not short of money now, I've already turned around." But I want to scale up and raise some money. If you are willing to take a stake, count yourself in. I can tell you, it's definitely promising. I'll give you an analysis, in the future, computers and mobile pagers must enter thousands of households, we just need to start from now on, and when that day comes, we have accumulated a lot of technology, and we are the leaders of this industry,......"

I said, "Qin Ming, even if I beg you, don't mention the share?" I don't want to take a stake. If you're short of money, can you squeak? How much is missing, let's say. ”

"I'm not looking for you to borrow money, I'm so happy that I don't know who to talk to." Qin Ming said, "Tomorrow I will go to Hong Kong to negotiate a deal, and if this negotiation is completed, the factory will be considered to be really alive." Let me tell you Lao Chen, this deal is absolutely fine. ”

I said, "Qin Ming, I haven't finished my dumplings yet." Can we talk about that later? ”

Qin Ming smiled and said, "Okay, I'm sorry to disturb you eating dumplings." I'm just so happy to share my joy with you. Without further ado, you go ahead and eat/your dumplings. ”

After I hung up the phone, I looked at the phone inexplicably and muttered, "Qin Ming, this kid, what did you say to me?" ”

When I got home, I had forgotten what Qin Ming had told me, Huzi asked me whose phone number, I said it was Qin Ming, and Huzi asked me what I said. Where do I remember, this kid didn't say anything serious at all. I said, "He said he was so happy, he must have done a good deal." ”

……

After another two days, the Shadow sent someone to bring a pig, plus a pig's head.

The person who sent the pig was a butcher, and the pig had just been killed, and it was delivered early in the morning. After he moved the pig to the kitchen, he said to me, "The corpse boss said that he had an urgent need to go back to the United States/China. So I can't send it in person, and I said that I will definitely visit when I come back. ”

I said, "Okay, I got it." ”

The butcher pointed to the pig and said, "Do you want me to divide it for you, I'll finish it in a few clicks." You use kitchen knives, and you can't clean them up. ”

The third aunt suddenly said beside her: "Thank you so much, so let's stay for dinner at noon." ”

"I won't eat anymore, and the butcher shop will still buy and sell."

The third aunt said to me, "Atom, you go and buy a box of big front door for the master to order." ”

I smiled and said, "Gotcha! ”

I went to buy a box of big front doors and stuffed it into the butcher's pocket, by which time the meat had already been split. The butcher pointed outside and said, "My shop is not far away, more than 100 meters to the left from the entrance of the alley, and it is called the people's butcher's shop." My name is Zhang Weimin. In the future, you can go to my shop to get whatever you want to eat, and I promise to give you a fair price. ”

I said, "Well, I have to pass." ”

After sending the butcher away, the third aunt asked me why the little goblin/spirit gave me a gift. I said you don't care, she will give you food. The third aunt pointed at me and said, "I can tell you, that little goblin/spirit is not a good thing, I secretly saw her in the bookstore last time, will I meet you to believe it?" ”

I said, "Third Auntie, I know." People are American/Chinese, and they just do business here. Isn't it, last time I introduced her a deal. That's the thank you fee. ”

"Don't get entangled with her, this woman is beautiful, but not good. The third aunt is the best at looking at women. ”

……

The corpse came back on the seventh day of the ninth lunar month, and she got off the plane and drove over.

When she entered the courtyard, I was reading in the study. When she entered the courtyard, she let out a hearty laugh, and then said loudly: "Chen Yuan, I'm dying of hunger." I heard Huzi say that the dumplings made by the third aunt are delicious. ”

I opened the door of the study, and the corpse came over and said, "I have finally returned to the arms of my motherland/mother, I can't eat this American meal, and I was looking forward to when I would be back on the day I went back, and my aunt and grandmother finally came back." ”

I said, "If the motherland is so good, why did your family move to the United States/China?" ”

The corpse smiled and said, "It's their decision. But I may have to move back, or live comfortably in Beijing, and it's pleasing to everyone. ”

The third aunt came out of the kitchen at this time and said loudly, "Who is here?" ”

I said, "Third aunt, let's make dumplings." Large steamed dumplings with cabbage and pork. ”

"Now there is no Chinese cabbage, and dumplings made with small cabbage are not watery."

I said, "Any cabbage, I've come to my friend, I want to eat this!" ”

The corpse figure smiled and shouted, "Third aunt! ”

The third aunt ignored her and turned to go into the kitchen.

After I entered the study with the corpse shadow, she sat directly in my seat, I sat on the chair outside, looked at her and said, "The deal with Brother Long is done, right?" ”

"It's because this deal is too big, I have to go back and hand it over in person, isn't it, after more than half a month, it's finally over." She said, "I was thinking of resting for a few days, but I received an invitation from Hu Junjie to go to Yang Liuqing the day after tomorrow." Did you and Huzi get an invitation? ”

I said, "I've been invited a long time ago, I'm just thinking about whether to go or not." ”

"Go, I'll drive to pick you two up on the morning of the ninth day of the new year, and we'll go over with the third master." The corpse shadow smiled and said, "You are a member of the Chinese Association, how can you be absent?" This exhibition run by the Hu family is not ordinary, and the things that come here to exhibit are rare treasures from all over the country. One less time to watch. ”

I said, "In that case, we'll go over with you tomorrow and open our eyes." ”

The corpse said, "That's right, don't you have other important things?" ”

I snorted: "It's true that there's nothing wrong, but last time because I introduced you to business, Hu Junjie came to me and was very dissatisfied with me." I think this time I went with Huzi, I'm afraid it's a Hongmen banquet. ”

The corpse smiled and said, "No, he doesn't dare to do anything to you." Besides, with me protecting you, what are you afraid of? The people in this circle still give me some face. ”

I said, "Okay, the safety of me and Huzi will be left to the corpse boss." ”

Huzi happened to come back from the bookstore in front of him at this time, and he was still carrying a pair of pork livers in his hand. As soon as he returned, he shouted that he was starving to death and went into the kitchen. After coming out, I went straight to my study, and when I came in, I said with a smile: "Let's eat steamed dumplings tonight, and the tip of the liver, this corpse boss is here, should we drink two taels?" ”

The corpse waved his hand and said, "I don't drink liquor, if you want to drink some beer." I have Tsingtao beer in the car, I'll get it. ”

Saying that she went to get beer, I told Huzi about going to Yang Liuqing the day after tomorrow, and Huzi whispered: "I'm afraid it's a Hongmen banquet, Lao Chen, are you sure you want to go?" ”

I said, "There's nothing to be afraid of." The corpse promised to protect us, and I think that with her, she should be able to cover us both. If you can't cover ,......"

I snorted and slammed my fist on the table, and I said, "Just so I practiced my hands!" ”

Huzi hummed at this time and nodded.

I said, "I'll go see the teacher tomorrow, Huzi, do you want to go with you?" ”

Huzi said: "Go and go, I also want to get to know this martial teacher, he is really a strange person!" ”
