The waitress repeated the dishes ordered by the guests, and asked Wang Quan, "What kind of drinks do you want?" ”

Wang Quan looked at Ren Fuxing, and Ren Fuxing signaled that it was up to him to decide. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ｂiquge。 ｉｎfo

"If I have something to do in the afternoon, I won't drink the wine, as long as the drink, a big bottle of Coca-Cola." Wang Quan said.

"Lao Wang has changed his ways." Tamsyn said.

"Drinking is easy to get into trouble, smoking is refreshing." Wang Quan said, "I now drink less and smoke more, and every day is better than the living immortals." ”

Ren Fuxing took out a box of "Chinese" cigarettes from his briefcase and handed it to Wang Quan.

Tan Sen saw that the waiter went to arrange the meal, everyone was sitting and had nothing to do, so he had nothing to say: "Drinking is easy to have accidents, Comrade Wang has personal experience, that was when he was still in office, one night he drank too much wine and went home, walked to the door, took out the key and couldn't open the door, so angry that he scolded his wife outside the door: This old thing, the lock at home was changed and he didn't tell me in advance." He knocked on the door hard, but when he couldn't see his wife open the door and come out, he fell asleep with his back against the security door. When it was almost dawn, the female neighbor who got off the night shift woke him up, and she angrily asked Lao Wang, my husband is not at home on a business trip, what do you mean by sleeping in front of our house? Lao Wang opened his eyes again with great effort, only to realize that he had gone to the wrong unit the night before. ”

Several people at the table couldn't stop laughing.

Wang Quan ignored Tan Sen with a red face, and shouted to a waitress standing at the door of the private room: "Miss, hurry up and serve us food and block this gentleman's mouth." ”

After a while, a waitress carried a live osmanthus fish in a net pocket to let Wang Quan "verify his identity", and the dying guy writhed his body, as if to please Wang Quan to perform a swing dance. Wang Quan glanced at it with pity, and seemed to wave his hand at the waiter unbearably, meaning "Execute!" ”

Wang Quan ate the most at this meal, and after a few plates, he saw the bottom in a while, and Tan Sen laughed at Wang Quan: "Have you heard that Director Ren invited guests and left his heart, liver and lungs at home, and only a pair of stomachs came out of his stomach?" ”

Wang Quan said indifferently: "Tan Gao Shenjing made fun of retired cadres, it's not that I eat too much today, but that the amount of food is not enough." ”

Ren Fuxing said: "If you don't have enough food, you can add more, don't fight anymore between the two of you." ”

Tan Sen said with a smile: "Several of us are full, Lao Wang's intestines may still be empty, this pot of black chicken soup has not moved much, Lao Wang continued to pour it into his stomach." ”

"Look, there's not a lot of chicken here." Wang Quan stirred the black chicken soup with a spoon and shouted to the door: "Waiter! ”

A waitress ran over in small steps, and Wang Quan angrily said to her, "Call your boss." ”

Ren Fuxing stopped him and said, "Lao Wang, forget it! ”

"That's not going to work." Wang Quan said, "What the hell should I do?" ”

The waiter brought in a woman in her thirties, pointed at her and said to Wang Quan, "The boss is not here, this is our foreman." ”

"Comrade foreman, is this the soup stewed with black chicken or the bath water from black chicken?" Wang Quan asked, pointing to the soup basin.

"This gentleman is really joking, do you have any comments to make, if there are some things that we have not done enough, we will definitely correct them." The foreman looked at Wang Quan with a smile on his face and said, "Listening to the accent, you are not a local, we seem to be relatively close fellow villagers." ”

"What kind of place are you from?" Wang Quan asked her disdainfully.

After the foreman replied, Wang Quan said in surprise: "We are from a county, which township and village are you from?" ”

"Let me take the liberty of asking, sir, what is your surname?"

"My surname is Wang."

The foreman said with a red face: "I know, my grandfather is your cousin, and you should also be my cousin, I have long known that you are an officer here." You may not remember, but I met you more than a decade ago when you visited your home, and then I only vaguely remember what you looked like. After I went to the city to work here, whenever a military vehicle stopped outside the restaurant, I wondered, could it be my cousin who came, I didn't expect to see you today. ”

Wang Quan's face also turned red, and he said in surprise: "I really can't imagine that you should have contacted me a long time ago." I still remember that my cousin was very good to me when he was alive, he turned out to be a very stubborn and somewhat superstitious old man, he began to not let his children go to school, thinking that reading was useless, and he changed his concept when his grandchildren should go to school, and then he sent the children to the school, as if there was anyone else in your family who was admitted to the junior college? ”

"Yes, that's my brother, who is now a technician at the township agricultural technology extension station."

Ren Fuxing smiled and said to Wang Quan: "It seems that you have gained the most today and met your niece who you haven't seen for many years." ”

Wang Quan's niece is called Yuexiu, Yuexiu wants the waiter to change a pot of black chicken soup again, Wang Quan hurriedly said: "I was joking just now, we are all full, we don't need to change again." ”

Yuexiu said that she has been working in the city for more than a year, although she came with Wang Quan's address, but she was not embarrassed to disturb him, she and her lover took their two children, and rented a small house not far away.

Wang Quan said that he and his wife would take time to visit their place in the future.

"Can you take a moment off?" Ren Fuxing asked Yuexiu.

Yuexiu nodded.

"Today we are bringing a car, it is more convenient, you can go to the place where they live now to have a look, and look for the door first." Ren Fuxing said to Wang Quan.

"I'm sorry to delay so many people's time." Wang Quan said.

"You just go, we'll wait for you, while waiting for you, take a walk around here and familiarize yourself with the environment, there's no harm." Ren Fuxing persuaded Wang Quan.

Ren Fuxing asked for two more dishes when he paid the bill, a dry-fried hairtail and a salt-and-pepper pork ribs, and asked Yuexiu to pack them and take them home.

Yuexiu asked the proprietress for leave and took Ren Fuxing's van into a small alley.

This is a private house to be demolished, Tan Sen accompanied Wang Quan to follow Yuexiu into a small courtyard, and the ropes in the small courtyard were hung with clothes to dry, making people mistakenly think that they had entered a rural bazaar. Yuexiu said that there are only six houses in this small courtyard, but there are nearly 30 people living in it. Several people walked through the gaps in the clothes that hung over, and a pair of white bras that looked like two begging bowls strung with rope were almost hit by Tamsyn's head.

The house where Yuexiu lives is only seven or eight square meters in size, with a single bed, an old cabinet, and a few cardboard boxes, which are all their belongings.

Yuexiu asked Tamson and Wang Quan to sit on the bed and stand and talk to them by herself.

"There is only one single bed for four people, and you sit and sleep at night?" Wang Quan asked Yuexiu strangely.

"I slept on the bed with my second child, and the eldest and his dad slept on the floor on cardboard." Yuexiu replied.

"It's too hard!" Tamson sighed.

Yuexiu smiled and said: "What's so hard about this, when I first went to the city to work, we spent the night in the waiting room of the train station and under the overpass, and then I complained, compared to that time, I felt like entering heaven." ”

"What are the nephews, sons-in-law and children doing?" Wang Quan asked Yuexiu.

"The child's father is selling vegetables with the children, and he should come back in a while."

"How can a person sell vegetables and take care of children when he has to take care of them."

"No, the child's father sells vegetables, and the eldest takes care of the second child on the side."

"Is the boss in his teens?"

"I'm just six years old."

Wang Quan and Tamson looked at each other incredulously.

"You pick up a little straw stick outside the door, my glasses seem to be a little wrong." Wang Quan took off his glasses and said to Yuexiu.

As soon as Yuexiu went out, Wang Quan said to Tan Sen: "If you don't have any money, hurry up and lend me a few hundred." ”

As soon as Wang Quan took the money from Tan Sen, Yuexiu entered the door and said, "There is no small straw stick outside, can I find you a needle?" ”

"No need, I'll fix it when I go back." Wang Quan spoke to Yuexiu, put on his glasses, wrote a few lines on the empty cigarette case, handed it to Yuexiu and said, "This is my phone number, if you have anything to contact me, I will come to see you again when I have time." I didn't bring anything with me this time, it's a few hundred dollars, you can buy some snacks for the children! ”

Tamson also took out three hundred dollars from his pocket and put it on the cabinet and said; "Your cousin and I are comrades-in-arms, like brothers, you are his relative, just like my relative, and these three hundred yuan are also a little bit of my heart."

Yuexiu reluctantly accepted Wang Quan's money, but she was unwilling to ask for Tan Sen's money, Tan Sen was so stupid that she accepted it with a red face.

Wang Quan said to Yuexiu: "There are still a few people waiting in the car outside, we have to leave quickly." ”

In the car back to the office, Wang Quan didn't say a word, smoking one cigarette after another. Tamson didn't say a word, just looked out the car window in a daze.

The silence of the two of them made everyone else in the car feel as if something was missing.
