The early morning in the courtyard is full of the noise of the alleys, with faint cooking smoke, loud chicken crows, and clear dog barking.

The people in the courtyard, although they come from all over the world, there is no strife, no intrigue, and when they meet each other, a nod and a smile are the best greetings. If one gets off work late, the other will help drive the chickens back to their cages; If one forgets to collect the clothes, the other will be kind enough to help hang them back under the eaves. Or whoever buys a lottery ticket and makes a small fortune, who has a salary increase, buys one or two chickens, a few cooked vegetables, three or two catties of peanuts, half a box of beer, stands in the yard and yells, and the people at home will gather to share his joy together.

Li Changjing sat on the small bench at the door, and Lin Duoduo sat next to him, one big and one small, eating breakfast with a bowl.

A week has passed, Li Changjing's severed left hand is already healing, and now his physical fitness is very strong, and some external injuries and internal problems can recover on their own after a period of time even if they do not take medicine or see a doctor.

Lin Jia went to work in Nantianmen next door a few days ago, and the salary and treatment remained the same, and the original Changsheng store had been removed, and all the pills in it had been moved to Nantianmen, which was considered a merger of the two stores.

Lin Jia also asked him what happened, Li Changjing didn't tell her the truth, only said that he had a disagreement with Huo Qingrou on business, and the pharmacy was sold to her, and Li Changjing wanted to rest for a while and then find another plan.

Later, Lin Jia also asked him, did the store lose money? Li Changjing replied with a smile: "Not only did I not lose anything, but I also earned a lot of benefits." ”

In fact, the loss must be a loss, Li Changjing has never suffered such a big loss when he is so big. But he did earn it, but he just earned some life experience, blame him for being too naïve, easy to trust people, in business, only eternal interests, how could a friend be worth half a dime? However, young people, who grow wisely, always need a little pain and frustration to grow.

After Lin Duoduo finished eating, she ran to the kitchen to wash the dishes, put on her small schoolbag, and prepared for school in the morning sun and morning mist.

Now that the kindergarten has opened an exclusive school bus, the children will be sent to the door when they go to school and after school, and the teacher will follow up the whole process, so Lin Duoduo does not need him or Lin Jia to pick it up.

Li Changjing took the little child's hand to the door and waited for the school bus with her, Lin Duoduo looked at him with his head up, and asked softly: "Brother Jing, why don't you marry my mother, I have promised my classmates, and I will definitely call my father at the next parent-teacher meeting." ”

Li Changjing stretched out his hand, rubbed the child's head, and asked, "Duoduo, what do you think of your father named Cheng Ruopeng?" ”

"If my mom doesn't like him, then I don't." Lin Duoduo thought for a while, as if recalling something, "But he came to my mother once last year and said that he wanted to give her money, but my mother didn't want it, and kicked him out." ”

Li Changjing hummed, just listened silently and did not answer.

After the school bus came, Li Changjing watched Lin Duoduo being picked up by the teacher, and the little kid sat by the window and kissed him.

Li Changjing smiled, in a slightly better mood, and was ready to go back.

At this time, a blue sedan drove far away on the road on the left, stopped at the gate of the courtyard, and Huo Zhen, who was rarely wearing gray casual clothes, walked down from the back seat.

"Good morning, Mr. Li." Huo Zhen greeted Li Changjing, "You live in this kind of place, it's really not easy to find." ”

Li Changjing just nodded at him and shouted "Hello Second Master", which was regarded as a response.

Huo Zhen came to the front and said strangely: "You don't plan to invite me in for a cup of tea?" ”

Li Changjing shook his head, "The family is so poor that they can't even pay the water and electricity bills, where can they still drink tea." ”

Huo Zhen smiled dumbly, but he didn't mind, seeing that there was no one around, he simply stood at the door and chatted with him.

Huo Zhen got straight to the point and said: "I've heard about you, as a bystander, it's not good for me to express any opinions, but there are some digressions, I want to have a good chat with you." ”

Li Changjing didn't speak, which was a tacit acquiescence.

Huo Zhen took out a pack of soft China from his pocket and handed one over, Li Changjing waved his hand, saying that he didn't smoke.

Huo Zhen had no choice but to light one and smoke it himself, and said softly: "The Huo family has been four generations since my grandmother established it. Among all the juniors, my grandmother's favorite is the third sister. ”

"If you want to talk about the relationship between the third sister and grandma, I can't finish talking about it for three days and three nights, and I guess Mr. Li doesn't want to hear it." Huo Zhen sneered, "Mr. Li only needs to know that the third sister is not only the person who has been with my grandmother for the longest time, but also the elder she respects the most. ”

Li Changjing's face was calm.

Huo Zhen took a hard puff of his cigarette, and his slightly feminine face was a little sentimental. He said softly: "Mr. Li, my grandmother has passed away, more than a month ago, just the day after you left the Huo family. ”

Li Changjing was stunned for a moment.

"When my grandmother died, she was peaceful." Huo Zhen looked at the intersection in the distance and smoked a cigarette one by one, "Her health has been very poor in recent years, and the doctor said that she was stimulated too much, which led to myocardial infarction......"

Huo Zhen threw away the cigarette butt and smiled at Li Changjing: "I believe that Mr. Li is not the person my grandma has been looking for, and grandma actually knows this in her heart, although she was so happy to see you that her heart muscle was choked, but in other words, she can be regarded as seeing the person she has always wanted to see, so when grandma died, she was satisfied." ”

Huo Zhen restrained his smile and said in a deep voice: "But the third sister doesn't think like that. Grandma, as her most respected elder, caused her grandmother to die indirectly because of you......"

"So Huo Qingrou hates me?" Li Changjing scoffed: "What kind of ghost logic is this? ”

Huo Zhen nodded, looking a little helpless, "The third sister has already drilled the horns of the bull in this matter, but she is a very measured person, at least she didn't pose too much personal threat to Mr. Li, didn't she?" ”

Li Changjing smiled and said: "Second Master Huo means that Huo Qingrou didn't kill me, it was my luck, and then I have to be grateful to her and thank her for not killing?" ”

Huo Zhen sighed and said: "Of course I don't think so, and I'm not here to wash Huo Qingrou's name, but there are some things, it would be better to let Mr. Li know, what do you think?" ”

Li Changjing frowned, pondered his words, and finally looked a little solemn, arched his hand towards Huo Zhen, and said softly: "The second master is very grateful to the second master, some conflicts with the second master in the past have been written off since then, although we can't be friends, but if there is a need in the future, there is still a chance to cooperate." ”

"That's enough." Huo Zhen laughed, in a good mood, "I heard that Mr. Li has a debt of 500,000 yuan, do you want me to help you?" ”

Li Changjing shook his head, "I have a friend who helped me buy three months, and I will find a way to pay it back myself." ”

Huo Zhen was not reluctant, he glanced at Li Changjing deeply, and said with a smile: "Mr. Li is really a wonderful person, I hope that even if we can't be friends, we won't be enemies." ”

Three days later, several shocking news broke out in Daye City.

The founder of the Huo Group, Mrs. Huo, who was already 80 years old, died at the end of her life, and after the Huo family did not mourn for a month, she finally made up a large funeral, and it is said that more than ninety percent of the big people in Daye City went to mourn.

After Mrs. Huo's funeral, on the 20th birthday of the eldest lady of the Xu family, she sent an invitation to hold a birthday banquet in two days.

That night, at nearly twelve o'clock, in a high-end club next to Wanhe Center, Cheng Ruopeng, who was handsome, straight, and drunk, staggered out, and just opened the car door, he found that there was actually a person sitting in the back seat of the car, so frightened that he took a step back, and even sobered up a little bit.

After seeing the face of the person in the back seat clearly, Cheng Ruopeng's face sank, and he said viciously: "It's you?" Lao Tzu didn't bother you, you actually sent it to the door in person? ”

Li Changjing rubbed his left hand, which was still a little sore, smiled, and said something amazing.

"As long as you promise me one condition, then I can help your Cheng family become the first family in Daye City within two years."
