Chapter 3 Borrowing Money

In order to cause unnecessary trouble, before getting on the ship, we first found a place where no one was, wrapped him in a white cloth and mummified him, and spent money to hire a carpenter to build a cabinet for him, and brought the zongzi brother into the cabinet, tied the chicken blood line outside, and went to the ship center to do the consignment.

After a day of wandering on the river, we finally returned to Chongqing, and came to the crowded Chaotianmen Wharf, we called a small yellow car, and first transported the box containing the zongzi brother back to Ge Zhuang's house and put it in the cellar, and then Lao Zhong said that he still had something to deal with, and left us a landline number, attaching an address, so that Ge Zhuang and I could go to him to eat hot pot when we were free.

After settling down the zongzi brother, I called Chen Yun, she answered the phone and asked if we had returned to Chongqing, I said yes, do you want to find a hotel at night, let's get into the quilt to discuss a piece of life and death friendship?

Chen Yun said that she didn't have time to deal with me, this operation lost too many manpower, as the person in charge of the scientific expedition team, she must come up with a reasonable explanation and give an explanation to the above, and the rubbing materials she brought out from the ruins are also in urgent decipherment, and there is still a lot of work waiting for her to deal with, so I have nothing to do and don't bother her.

Ge Zhuang grabbed the phone and said what about my father? Chen Yun said that I have already said hello to the above, and the Tai Sui we brought back from the tomb of Di Jun has played a good detoxification effect, but after all, the old man has been poisoned by the corpse for a long time, and I am afraid that he will not be able to wake up for a while, but the condition has stabilized, and it will not take long for him to recover.

Ge Zhuang looked excited, hung up the phone and said to me, little pumpkin, go, accompany me to the hospital to see the old man.

Chen Yun was a good talker, and arranged an independent senior ward for the old man, with two beds in the ward, in order to take care of the old man, the aunt lived directly in it, and saw the two of us pushing the door in, the aunt first complained, and asked Ge Zhuang where the dead child went, why didn't the father stay hospitalized for so many days?

We went to find the tomb of the Emperor, Ge Zhuang was hiding it from his aunt, so the old man didn't know what thrilling things we had experienced in the days of "disappearance". Ge Zhuang gave his aunt a smile and said Mom, this is not coming back, my old man is like (what), can he die or not?

The aunt was so angry that she rolled her eyes, and said that you are a newspaper in the world, and you are a talker? Your old man's condition is getting better, and he opened his eyes and said a few words to me in the afternoon.

Hearing this, the big stone in my heart and Ge Zhuang fell to the ground, but fortunately, that piece of Tai Sui really had an effect, and it was not in vain that Ge Zhuang and I were born and died.

Since the old man's condition has stabilized, just wait for him to survive the recovery period and wake up, Ge Zhuang and I can't help by staying in the hospital, so we left the hospital for a while and returned home by car.

The first thing we did when we got home was that we went down to the cellar, dismantled the box containing the old man, and helped him to his feet.

I asked Ge Zhuang, what do you plan to raise, won't you really use human blood? Ge Zhuang smiled sheepishly, took out a bag of pigs from behind his back, mixed it with two pots, took a basin and put it at the feet of the zongzi brother.

I said fatty, you are also buried, the second pot of cold pork is in the water, can the zongzi brother get his mouth down?

While I turned around to speak, something shocked me happened, but I saw that the old brother of the zongzi was like a wild dog that had taken off the reins, holding the iron basin and pounced down, burying his face in the pig water, and eating it was called a "whirring and rubbing", and the two-pound pig was stunned to give him nothing left, and he stretched out his tongue and licked his dry lips, which was still unfinished.

Also, after being hungry for 2,000 years, there is not even yellow mud in the tomb of the emperor, and the pig is already considered a delicacy in the world.

There was an expression of great enjoyment on his shriveled face, that is, he had drunk too much Erguotou, and he was a little unsteady on his feet, so he jumped up and fell backwards, and punched drunkenly, knocking down a lot of the jar of pickles in the cellar.

I hurriedly tied up the old man with his body, this girl drank too much wine, and jumped around with her paws, just like dancing disco, so I asked Ge Zhuang how many two pots he mixed down. Ge Zhuang said almost two catties.

I said that two catties is too much, and I will feed it once a day in the future, and it will be enough to mix one catty and two pots at a time, so as to save him from drinking too much and going crazy.

Ge Zhuang pondered for a while, and said Little pumpkin, just tie the zongzi brother, and it is not a matter to raise him in the cellar, as soon as my father wakes up, he will have to move back sooner or later, if he is seen by the second elder, it will be repaid? The eldest sister will really give us problems, and she won't talk about subsidizing living expenses or anything.

I said that the pig went into the water, anyway, it was not expensive (in the early 2000s, the pig went into the water for two yuan a catty), the zongzi brother has a life-saving grace for us, and it is not a loss to raise him.

Ge Zhuang said that this is reasonable, but I can't let him live with my parents, or let's go out and rent a house, what do you think?

I said do you have money?

A penny is hard to beat a hero, Ge Zhuang and I didn't catch anything on this trip to the tomb, the two pot-bellied men have to ask for money to eat, drink and Lazar, and they can't be cheeky to ask Ge Zhuang and his wife to ask for it, young and good boys, we can't pull this face.

Ge Zhuang patted his head and said Otherwise, I'll go find my cousin, borrow some bullets from him first, rent the house outside, and settle down Brother Zongzi, anyway, my cousin is short of manpower, let's go together as the emperor's army?

I thought about it for a while, and thought that this idea was not bad, settled the old brother Zongzi, climbed out of the cellar with Ge Zhuang, went outside to move a stone to press the wooden planks on the cellar, bought a bottle of good wine with the only two hundred yuan left, and went to his cousin's house to knock on the door with a bag of boiled peanuts.

Ge Zhuang's old cousin is called Wang Xiaojun, a very feminine name (for convenience, he will be called Lao Wang in the future), he is quite enthusiastic about Ge Zhuang, and when he saw me visiting in the middle of the night, he knew that there was something to talk about, and he patted Ge Zhuang on the shoulder and said, "Brother, what is there to find me?" Say it! ”

Ge Zhuang said to the old cousin, my brother has encountered some situation in the past few days, and he has not gotten Mimi (bullets, Mimi, which means money in the old saying of Sichuan and Chongqing), and you also know that your uncle is hospitalized, so I will be cheeky to borrow some rice from you.

Lao Wang said that this is nothing (it's okay), you have opened your mouth, can I still not borrow it? Much better?

Ge Zhuang said that eight thousand is not too much, one or two thousand is not too little, how much can you take out of the old watch? Lao Wang smiled bitterly and said Brother, don't scare me, I can't take out so much money, and the passbook is in the hands of your cousin-in-law.

Ge Zhuang said what about my cousin-in-law, why didn't I see it? Lao Wang said that he had a quarrel yesterday and went back to his parents' house. Ge Zhuang's eyes rolled, and he gossiped in his heart, saying why are the old husband and wife quarrelling?

Lao Wang took a sip of wine and said I won't hide it from you, brother, your eldest nephew is about to graduate from junior high school, your cousin-in-law is crazy in the brain, and she has to have a second child with me, you don't know, family planning is strict, I am wearing a skin, dare to have a second child?

Ge Zhuang threw a peanut into his mouth, and a sentence amused me, he said Lao Biao, not as a younger brother to say you, why are you so unproductive, what's wrong with having a second child, the second child is so good, you don't want to have your own child?

I almost didn't be happy with these words, I squirted a sip of wine on the spot, Lao Wang went from his chin to the top of his brain, and said Gua Wazi, don't talk nonsense, I'll arrange with you about work, I want to borrow money and wait for your cousin-in-law to come back, I still have a thousand yuan here, take it to emergency first!
