Chapter 13: Old Wine

Early this morning, I was woken up by Brother Dong's phone, he reminded me of the fact that the rotten master was coming, and asked me to pick them up, as good as the landlord, I looked at the time that was not early, got up and washed up hurriedly, and then rushed to the airport.

Who knew that there was a traffic jam on the road, and I didn't receive them, but Lao Wei called and said that the rotten master had arrived at the shop, so I hurried back, and the time was gone after tossing back and forth for a morning.

I had a hasty lunch, and when I arrived at the shop, the old man was preparing his meal, and when he saw me coming in, he told me to go to the dining room to eat. Although I had already eaten, I thought I still had to go and say hello to Master Fu, so I came to the dining room.

At this time, Brother Dong and Master Fu had already sat on the round table, and they talked from time to time, and the atmosphere on the table was not bad. But there is an old man I don't know next to the rotten master, I think this should be what he said before that he will bring people to meet me, I stared at the old man directly, except for the unique temperament, I really didn't find anything special.

The old man was skinny, although he was thin, but the whole person seemed very energetic, his eyebrows and eyes were a little sharp, and he sat there to give people a feeling of not being angry and arrogant.

The old man seemed to notice my gaze and frowned slightly, and I realized that this was a bit disrespectful, so I withdrew my inquiring gaze.

Then he sat down next to my dad, right across from the old man. I nodded to them before I sat down, and it was a simple greeting, and the rotten master began to introduce the old man: "This is the person I said on the phone before, his surname is Sun, and he is called Lao Jiu, but you should call him grandpa at your age!" ”

I nodded to him, then stood up and shook his hand: "Hello, my name is Chen Huai, you can also call me Huaizi", the old man smiled at me with a mouthful of scorched teeth, it was obvious that he was a smoker.

The old man's facial features are quite soft, but they are definitely not feminine, but an elegant temperament, as if he is highly educated, and there is a bruise on the right side of his face, but it does not affect his overall appearance, but adds a touch of mystery.

Brother Dong began to ask us to eat, and all the juniors on our side always had to toast when they saw the elders, so I picked up the cup and said politely: "Grandpa Sun, come, I toast you with a glass and wish you all the best." ”

He picked up the cup but waved his hand: "Eh, don't call me so old, although I am over sixty years old, I am not old, you can call me old wine!" As soon as he spoke, it was a Sichuan dialect, which made me feel very cordial.

I said cheerfully, "Then you have to go, come, drink!" He picked up the wine glass and clinked glasses to me, I only took a sip, and when I put down the glass, I found that his glass had bottomed out, I couldn't help admiring his amount of wine and his straightforwardness, and sighed in my heart that this old wine was really not called in vain.

Looking at him, it inexplicably reminded me of my grandfather, if he was still alive, he should be as open-minded and upright as Lao Jiu, and I couldn't help but feel a little sad, but I quickly put away my emotions, in such a lively bad environment, I suddenly remembered that these things seemed a little out of place.

After three rounds of drinking, everyone drank a little high, and the old wine took over the conversation and began to tell his story.

He was born in rural Sichuan, his parents were people who had never studied, the year he was born, there was a fortune teller who said that he could not afford to raise a son at home, and asked his parents to send him away, so he attracted the dislike of his parents, so he learned to walk, and his biological parents abandoned him.

His stepfather's family is also surnamed Sun, so he didn't change his name because of the trouble, and his stepfather's family had many children, but he was the biggest, so all the farm work fell on him, and if he didn't do it well, he would get a beating, and his parents didn't care about him at all, and he didn't have any food after doing farm work.

He has not studied, and even if his parents are rich in the family, they will not spend a cent on him, and if they do not explode in silence, they will perish in silence.

But fortunately, he is the former. Suddenly, one day he disappeared, and his parents didn't care when they found out, just shouting a few times around, after all, most of the family couldn't afford to eat at that time, and having one less child was a burden on them.

Later, the old wine was mixed in all kinds of dock shops, where there is work, there is his figure, speaking of which is the living situation of the people at the bottom of China, and there are still families struggling with food and clothing.

After listening to the story of the old wine, I was overwhelmed for a while. Suddenly understood the reason why the rotten master wanted to take him on this trip, although he couldn't run fast and didn't have any technical work, but his experience and experience were incomparable to none of us, and he just needed someone like him in the next fight.

The old wine is worthy of being an old wine, and even a person like the rotten master, who is known as not drunk in a thousand cups, has already fallen on the table, and he is still steadily sandwiching peanuts on the side. And I haven't fallen yet, but because I played some tricks. But I think I've probably been seen through by Lao Jiu for two moments, but he didn't expose me.

He looked at me, smiled at me with his glass, then drank it with his neck up, then stood up neatly, his back was like a steel plate, and went to his room without looking back.

After the old wine left, I looked at this mess and shook my head weakly, and sent Fu Ye and Dong Ge back first, these two old guys were much heavier than I imagined, and I dragged them back with a strap.

After I went back, I lay on the soft big bed and began to think crankily, remembering some things when I was a child, and remembering the days in Heilongjiang, and then I fell asleep in a daze.

In the middle of the night, I suddenly woke up, and wanted to drink saliva, but found that I couldn't move, and I immediately reacted that it was a ghost press, so I relaxed my body and opened my eyes in a daze.

Just as I was about to fall asleep again, the door of my room was opened. In the darkness there was only a faint light wandering, and I quietly observed him with half-closed eyes, and he seemed to be looking for something, and opened all my drawers, and then took what he was looking for as he passed by my bedside for a moment, paused, tried to reach out but put it down, and then left.

At this moment, I was completely sleepless, and I wanted to see what he had taken, but who knew that the more I struggled, the more I couldn't move, and I was shocked into a cold sweat in the winter. I relaxed my body again, slowly trying to move my fingers, and gradually my body reacted.

I turned sideways, thought about it again and again, and felt that I couldn't startle the snake, so I closed my eyes as if nothing had happened.

When I regained consciousness again, it was already three poles of the sun, and when I finished washing and changing my shoes, I saw a few dried blood stains on the floor, I squatted on the spot and looked around, and saw blood stains next to a separate box, I got up and smiled, and I knew it in my heart.

I came to the living room quietly, but I happened to see Brother Dong and Master Fu chatting about some business matters, I sat aside and waited quietly, this time Brother Dong was not used to it, he didn't say a few words to Master Fu, he took the initiative to ask me: "Why are you so quiet today?" ”

I smiled playfully, "I found something interesting last night. ”

Dong Ge was intrigued by my words, and he raised an eyebrow at me and motioned for me to continue. I said directly: "I was burglarized in my room last night." ”

Brother Dong was about to have a seizure, and I hurriedly interrupted: "But I didn't lose anything important, just a few boxes of medicine." ”

The rotten master, who hadn't spoken for a long time, opened his mouth: "After doing it for a long time, he stole a few boxes of medicine?" ”

I shrugged irreprovocably: "Who knows?" ”

Brother Dong cleared his throat and suddenly said, "Huaizi, don't forget to go for a physical examination before leaving, your mother called me again today." I pretended to say to the rotten master: "Rotten master, you have arranged the physical examination, and I will go with you when the time comes!" After saying that, I kept winking at the rotten master, hoping that he would understand what I meant.

"I've already arranged for someone to go with you then." Brother Dong suddenly said to me strongly, I pouted, and I accepted my fate.

As soon as I finished lunch, Brother Dong assigned me a task, saying that there was something wrong with a shop in the west of the city, and I had been losing things recently, so I asked me to see if I had gained any ill-gotten gains, so that people could target them.

I wanted to refuse, but Dong Ge was glared at and stopped, put on his coat and went out.

Sure enough, Brother Dong was like a god, and after some interrogation and inspection by me, I found that it was the guy in his shop who had a little side thoughts, and there is a rule in our industry, people with unclean hands and feet cannot be kept.

This guy obviously knew that too, crying and shouting for us not to let him lose money and get out. I didn't look like a fool when I saw that he didn't look like him, so I asked him why.

It turned out that he had a twin brother, and the brothers had been using tricks in front of people, and the two brothers came to the shop every day, and when they came and went, the younger brother saw more things, and he began to blush, hiding from his brother that he stole things.

The elder brother is a timid and afraid person, and he has taught his younger brother several times, but the younger brother is also deceived and deceitful, saying human things to people and talking nonsense to ghosts, but the things in the shop have been less, and the elder brother has been paying more attention, one day when the brothers changed shifts, the elder brother has been paying attention to him, and he was really caught by him. But no matter what, he is also a brother, after all, he can't bear to expose it, and his younger brother also promised to wash his hands in the golden basin, who knows that his nature has not changed, and he also took the goods in the shop.

In fact, it is just a trivial matter, and it is my task to find out the reason, and as for where the two brothers go, it is not something I can control. After cleaning up this file, I went home slowly, and just turned the corner, I saw that my shop was surrounded by water.
