Episode 12 People in the rivers and lakes (3) Lao Hei let the shop

According to legend, at the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Liu Guanzhang "Taoyuan Three Alliances", in order to raise the banner of Kuangfu Han Dynasty, the three of them killed their wives and children, in order not to leave a way back for themselves, not to let the enemy retaliate against their own family, Liu Bei had the famous sentence "brothers are like siblings, wives are like clothes", Guo Kaixin's wife and son, although they have also been taken care of by their brothers, but the most caring people are not Brother Guo, but his brothers with different surnames, Liu Sheng and Lao Hei.

Liu Sheng's main approach is to help Guo Kaixin's wife Shao Linlin find a job in her own company, and it is a double salary, and she gets a salary even if she doesn't go to work, and sends Pony Tsai to Guo Kaixin's son Guo Xiaogang's school from time to time to see how he is studying, whether he is bullied by his classmates, etc., in City A in the eighties of the last century, the social habits are very bad, and the small and scattered social youth often extend their magic hands to the large, medium and primary schools, with Liu Sheng's protection, Guo Xiaogang's juvenile growth can be described as smooth sailing, and the school was selected'School football team', at this time he is in the first grade of primary school, which is inseparable from Liu Sheng's 'communication' with the head teacher and the school teacher in private.

Women have always been unable to endure loneliness, and the same is true for young women, let alone those with good looks, Lao Hei's way of helping Guo Kaixin is, 'help him clean up the portal', Shao Linlin He naturally won't move, and he has to keep her to take care of the children, but those 'little white faces', 'iron sons', Lao Hei will never let go after knowing the Tao, nine times out of ten, all end up with broken bones.

is also Guo Kaixin's friend, Liu Sheng and Lao Hei have a deep feud, and Lao Hei also got the time for Guo Kaixin to be released from prison, but when he knew that Liu Sheng was also going to go, he hid, in terms of the influence of black and white in City A, his ten Lao Hei are not as good as Liu Sheng, and what Liu Sheng is doing is all 'serious industry'. But he still controls a large area in private, and collecting protection fees is the bulk of his company's main income, and Lao Hei's newly opened bookstore is no exception, and the 'filial piety' of 5,000 yuan a year is inevitable, and Liu Sheng is fair and ruthless in the management of the company, even if it is his relatives, he has to hand over the money, and after he gets it. And then return to you, this is the main reason for Liu Sheng's rapid fortune, over the years, his subordinates have gathered, the company is even more impressive, all the profitable business, he has been involved, it can be said that there are a large bundle of 'great unity' in every minute.

After a night of madness, Guo Kaixin's wine also woke up. Under the escort of the sixth brother Guo Kaiying, he returned to his 'nest', and Shao Linlin was waiting for him at home at this time.

"Sixth, they're all home. Go up and drink some water," Guo Kaixin was quite happy today, and the happiness of freedom made him feel radiant.

"No, Fourth Brother. You go up first, I still have to be on duty at night, it's all too much. ”

"That's good. Slow down. ”

Seeing Guo Kaiying drive the car away, Guo Kaixin looked at the lights in his home, and then he took heavy steps and began to go upstairs, somehow, the closer to his own door, the worse Guo Kaixin's mood became, he really didn't think this was his own home, just as Lao Hei once said when he visited prison, his home has become Shao Linlin's 'listening room' for entertaining 'Tiezi'. ’

'Dangdang. ’

"Who?"

"Open the door, it's me."

"Where have you been all day, why did you come back, don't go home first, early rise and tell me, you and the sixth child left, and then I asked for leave to go home to cook, made a big table of meals, just waiting for you to come back," Shao Linlin is wearing a pink pajamas today, from the degree of sophistication of the fabric, you can analyze that this dress must not be cheap, her hair is hot like a 'mushroom cloud', and her face is not too much makeup, she is originally a beauty, she is very confident in her own makeup.

"I came back and found me a place to take a bath, and I had some dinner at Han Laomian's restaurant, I came back late, I came back late," Guo Kaixin walked directly into the living room, he found that everything in the house had changed, except for the shelf for hanging hats, it was still the original and did not move, other family facilities, all of which were not the same as when he was there, he sat on the sofa and turned on the TV.

"Let's eat some more, I've been ready for many days to celebrate your coming out," Shao Linlin's charm is still as charming as when she first got married, coupled with the second development of a child, her chest is so stiff, it's like two big bowls buckled there.

"What about the son? Where did he go? ”

"Let me send him to his grandmother's house, today we are the 'two-person world'."

"Do you have any wine?"

"Yes, what do you want to drink, we have a lot of wine," I haven't seen her for a few years, Shao Linlin has a lot of hobbies, this drinking is one of them, only when she is dizzy, she can be happy, she is afraid of being alone at home.

"I drank too much in the afternoon, did I have any wine? I want to see it through. ”

"Yes, I'll get it right away."

"The big husband is not informal," it is not very easy to really do this, Guo Kaixin sat at the dining table, and his wife Shao Linlin looked at each other face to face, it may be that Guo Kaixin's hair is very neat, and under the illumination of the light, he looks very young.

"Come on, let's do one."

"Okay,."

It is difficult to become a husband and wife without grievances, Guo Kaixin and Shao Linlin did not communicate for a long time, they went to bed, the needs of men's nature, after two and a half years, broke out again, Guo Kaixin has always insisted for a long time, but today he was defeated in less than ten minutes.

At half past twelve o'clock in the night, when Guo Kaixin had just fallen asleep, there was a knock on the door of his house.

"Dangdangdang."

Shao Linlin's alertness was very fast, she jumped out of bed quickly, did not wear slippers, and opened the door.

"Why are you here?"

"I've just gotten off work, let me in, I'm going to suffocate." A man's voice, he didn't allow Shao Linlin to speak, and immediately broke in and ran to the toilet.

Shao Linlin also followed, she lowered her voice and said, "Xinzi is back, you can go quickly." ”

"It's really fake, the fourth child is back, where is it?" Not only was the man not afraid, but he finished his little hands and washed his hands in the sink.

"I'm really back, I'm asleep, I'm lying in bed, you better hurry up. If he finds out, you're in trouble. ”

"Where did you tell me to go?"

"I don't know where you're going, but not today."

"No, then what should I do, for your sake, my wife and I have fallen out, and I won't leave anyway."

"Then you just stay, and after a while he wakes up, and see that he doesn't peel you alive."

"I'm afraid of him, Grandma. Isn't he just a prisoner in a labor camp? ”

"Okay, okay, I'll give you a hundred yuan, stay where you like, stay where you like," Shao Linlin took out a stack of money from her bag and handed it to the man.

"Can I come later?"

"It's not good at home, I'll look for you when I'm free, let's go."

After the man got the money, he left the house. After Shao Linlin locked the door, she returned to bed again.

Guo Kaixin's hearing is so sensitive, he is the one who used to sit in the number at night, just when the two dogs and men were talking. He really wanted to rush out of the gang to cut them, but he couldn't help it, for Shao Linlin's sake of helping him take care of his son in the past few years. I don't care about her, this is Guo Kaixin's 'determination'.

Lao Hei's bookstore has formed a chain in City A. But there was no such word at that time, it was just that there were many bookstores, he was just the owner, in the book wholesale market in City A, Lao Hei had a wholesale stall, and the reason why he was able to embark on this path that suited him had a lot to do with the bookstore that Guo Kaixin transferred to him back then.

In the early morning of the next day, Lao Hei parked the car downstairs of Guo Kaixin's house early, waiting for Guo Kaixin to go downstairs, because he knew that few people who practice martial arts will sleep lazy, not to mention that Guo Kaixin only came out of it yesterday, and the life in that number is simply 'militarized', almost the same as being a soldier.

As Lao Hei expected, although he slept very late the night before, but at half past four in the morning, Guo Kaixin couldn't sleep anymore, he got up from the bed, looked at Shao Linlin who was asleep, and then put on his previous sportswear, wrote a note to Shao Linlin on the table, and left.

"Xinzi, hey, Xinzi, Guo Kaixin!" Lao Hei is much older than Guo Kaixin, but his face is not old, it is still the same as three years ago, he saw Guo Kaixin coming out of the entrance of the building, and shouted.

"Hey!" Guo Kaixin beckoned to Lao Hei and ran over.

"Listening to the sound and painting pavilion", which was originally Guo Kai's new industry, has made Lao Hei grow tall in the past few years, not only adding a 'simple room' next to it, but also hanging a white cloth for playing movies on the opposite wall.

"What's the matter, Xinzi, your store makes me tidy," Guo Kaixin entered the audio-visual bookstore, and found that this place was much more upscale than when he came from, not only many times more videotapes and tapes, but even the TV was the boss.

"It's called Brother Xin," Lao Hei introduced to the two saleswomen.

"Hello new brother!" The two saleswomen were very young, that is, eighteen or nineteen years old, and their small faces were painted like monkey butts, which were obviously the kind of people from the countryside who went to work in the city.

"Pour us two cups of good tea, and get back to the jar I put here."

"Yes, old black brother."

Lao Hei and Guo Kaixin's chat, basically a blind chat in the clouds, mountains and fogs, he didn't say a word about Guo Kaixin's affairs in the number, Shao Linlin's affairs, he also tried to avoid it, just after drinking two cups of tea, Lao Hei threw a bunch of keys on the table.

"Xinzi, this audio-visual bookstore, as well as the 'Guanxin Book Sea' next door, my brother has helped you read it for two years, and today the things are returned to the original owner, you can keep them," Lao Hei's expression was very sincere.

"Give it to me? No, no, no, you paid for it in my hands, what's the matter? Business is not good and you want to return it? Guo Kaixin knew that Lao Hei's economic strength was not as good as back then, and it could be seen from the car he drove that he had seen this car, and among the Hong Kong-made movies released in the number, there was this one, which was exactly the same as the actor's drive.

"To be honest, I still really wanted your store at the beginning, and these two stores didn't help me make money, but now that you're back, if I don't give it back to you, it will be too unjust, my brother is okay now, although it is not as powerful as some people, but it is not bad for these two small shops." Lao Hei is naturally referring to Liu Sheng, Liu Sheng's 'Jihong Company' has long been a household name in City A, and passers-by know it.

"I said Lao Hei, do you think that I have been going to open a gold mine in the past two years, how can I have the money to buy the store back, let me tell you the truth, I came out naked, I have no money."

"Whoever wants your money, you take it first, the money, let's take our time, if you earn it, give me two, if you lose it, I don't want a penny," Lao Hei spoke categorically, and he couldn't hear it from the tone at all, he had a false intention.

"That's okay, I'll go back to study and study, if it's okay, I'll come to you again," Go back to the old business, Guo Kaixin once thought about it in the number, he didn't expect that these two stores that were originally his own flew back, he decided to go to Shao Linlin to ask, to see if she has money, I heard Lao Hei once said to himself, Shao Linlin often goes to Liu Sheng to ask for money, every time it is a big deal, since it is his own banner, Guo Kaixin feels that he should go to her to ask for it, if it doesn't work, he can also find Liu Sheng to think of a way, among the people he knows, Including several brothers, it was impossible to come up with so much money at once, so he said goodbye to Lao Hei and went home.

When Guo Kaixin returned home, it was already noon, he thought that Shao Linlin must be working in Liu Sheng's company at this time, but he didn't expect Shao Linlin to still sleep, he looked at the wine they drank last night, thinking that Shao Linlin was not drinking enough, and drank too much.

Guo Kaixin's cooking skills, after the exercise in the room in the number, can be regarded as getting some true inheritance, he made a breakfast for Shao Linlin, and waited for her to get up to eat.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Shao Linlin got up lazily to wash, and when she saw that Guo Kaixin had finished eating, she kissed Guo Kaixin with a mouth that did not dry the toothpaste, "Xie Lu, thank you, I will eat ready-made today, and I will make it for you tomorrow." ”

Taking advantage of Shao Linlin's meal, Guo Kaixin proposed to use money to buy back Lao Hei's two bookstores.

"Can that thing make money, people are pouring steel, machine tools or something, when can you make money back by selling books," Shao Linlin educated Guo Kaixin while eating, she thought that Guo Kaixin had changed outside in the past two years, and selling books was not a good way to make money.

"I thought about it, Lao Hei can sell books to make money, why can't we, I used to teach him to sell books, besides, I have seen both stores, the flow of people is good, I know that I can't make a lot of money in this business, but it's still okay to maintain food and clothing."

"That's okay, if you think about it, you can do it, who can persuade you, but I declare in advance, I don't have any money, the last time you went in, the money I was given, last time my mother was sick, it was all gone, this store is not a small amount, two at once, where do I have money."

Guo Kaixin just wanted to say, "You gave the man money back in the middle of the night last night, who is that person?" But as soon as he wanted to speak, he held back again, and then said with a smile, "Then I'll go to Shengzi and ask if he can lend me some." ”

"I've seen enough, Shengzi is different from before, when you just went in, I also asked him for a few times of money, and then when he asked for it, he said no, don't give it to me, now in this society, people are in love, you have been in for a few years, I don't believe it, he will spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to give you money in the store," although she got a 'double salary' every day, Shao Linlin still felt wronged, if before, she didn't need to say this, and today I saw Guo Kaixin who had to listen to herself, and the ridiculous words came out.

"Okay, then you just watch, see if I can borrow the money, if I really can't borrow it, I'll go back to my old business and collect the basket," Guo Kaixin didn't reply, pushed open the door, he left, he didn't bring the key. (To be continued......)
