Chapter 135: Gossip
Liang Houzai should belong to the kind of high IQ in the real sense, and I always have an indescribable envy in my heart for his talent.
Except for the last year of high school, I didn't seem to have a deep impression of my academics, and I had almost no deep memories of my classmates at school, after all, during that time, I rarely went to school, and it was during that time that I really stepped into the business where Master was.
I remember that it was the second week of high school classes, we had just experienced a full week of military training, and the school gave all the freshmen two days off, so that we could recuperate and devote ourselves to our studies when we returned to school.
At that time, before the midsummer passed, when Liang Houzai and I left school, Xian'er suddenly yelled to eat ice cream, I happened to have five yuan on me, I was going to keep it to play games, but I couldn't stand Xian'er's constant yelling, I couldn't help it, so I went to the shop at the school gate and sold her an ice cream.
Ever since Master brought the Soul Nourishing Jade to my chest, Xian'er has been nourished by that piece of jade every day, and a month ago, she suddenly found that she could eat, and since then she has often coveted my pocket money. Every day before I went to school, Master would give me five yuan of pocket money, and Xian'er would spend at least four yuan of this money.
In fact, Xian'er's so-called "being able to eat" is not that she can really eat the food directly, but that when I eat, she can feel the taste and taste of the food, and to put it bluntly, it is still me who eats.
Originally, I saw that school was relatively early, and I wanted to play games, but now I don't have enough money in my hand, so I can only go home obediently.
I always eat quickly, and Xian'er sat on my shoulder, squinted at me and said, "Hey, I said, can we eat more slowly?" You're gobbling it up like this, and the ice cream is gone before I can taste it. ”
I gave her a blank look: "You have the ability to eat it yourself." ”
Xian'er's expression became sullen, and she glared at me fiercely and stopped talking.
Liang Houzai walked beside me and smiled secretly.
It was also during the summer vacation of high school that Liang Houzai's ability to pass through yin had a qualitative improvement, and he could now see Xian'er.
At first, when Liang Houzai saw Xian'er for the first time, he was also stunned by Xian'er's appearance, at that time, Xian'er looked like a young girl, and her facial features were already extremely exquisite, Liang Houzai saw her for the first time, and was immediately shocked, saying that he had never seen such a beautiful girl since he was a child.
At that time, I could make Xian'er happy, saying that Liang Houzai not only had a bright brain, but also had better eyes than me, saying that I had been with her every day since I was a child, and I had never praised her for being beautiful.
But Liang Houzai said that Xian'er was beautiful, and there was only one time, and then he had contact with Xian'er for a few days, only to find that Xian'er's face couldn't make up for her character flaws at all.
Xian'er, this girl, she really doesn't have to pick her appearance, but her personality is a big problem, sometimes you will find that her belly is full of bad water, always thinking about yin others behind her back, sometimes, she is very informal, just like a little rough old man.
Anyway, since Xian'er became my companion soul, I haven't treated her as a woman most of the time, and after Liang Houzai has been in contact with her for a while, he probably also treats her as a buddy.
Xian'er was a little unhappy when she saw Liang Houzai secretly laughing at her, and shouted at Liang Houzai: "I said Liang Daxian, when we laugh, can we laugh boldly, do you have to purse your mouth when you laugh, I was also shocked, looking at you like that, you can still laugh with a feeling of flowers and branches trembling and waiting to be released." Are you a man or not? ”
Over the years, Xian'er has been nourished by the soul nourishing jade, not only the spiritual charm on her body has become stronger, but her mouth seems to be getting poorer and poorer, she is now quarreling with first-class kung fu, every time I quarrel with her, I have to risk being scolded by her to the point of incompleteness, even if I have ten mouths, I can't quarrel with her.
In addition, since Liang Houzai first met Xian'er, Xian'er called Liang Houzai "Daxian", and Liang Houzai's nickname was used until the winter of early 2012.
Although Liang Houzai usually doesn't talk much, he is not ambiguous at all when he quarrels with Xian'er, often Xian'er says a lot, and he only needs one sentence to push Xian'er back.
It's the same this time, Liang Houzai's face froze at first, then he smiled again, and said to Xian'er in a very serious and solemn tone: "Well, you're right, I'm indeed not as good as you like a man." ”
At first, Xian'er was stunned for a while, as if she didn't react for a while, but after a while, she stood on my shoulder with a fierce momentum and started a grand battle with Liang Houzai.
Both of them are masters of verbal battles, Xian'er is good at playing poor, Liang Houzai is good at sarcasm, the two of them are fighting back and forth, and the innocent me is caught in the middle by them, and at the same time I am under fire from both sides.
There are many similarities between this situation and the situation when Liu Shangang nagged me when I was a child, so every time I like this, I force myself to think of something else and divert my attention.
I deserted and slowly returned home.
When I entered the gate of the family home, a small red van entered the gate of the hospital almost at the same time as me, and when I looked at it, I recognized the car as Wang Qiang's.
Wang Qiang is the son of Widow Liu, the Wang Qiang who did business with my uncle.
In the past two years, the business of Uncle and Wang Qiang has become more and more prosperous, and they can be regarded as making a lot of money, but this old van has not been changed for many years.
My uncle couldn't get a driver's license because he was lame, so Wang Qiang always drove him to run business in the province. As for Wang Qiang, this person is very nostalgic, and his uncle persuaded him to change the car a year ago, but he said that the old car drove out of his feelings, and he was really reluctant to change it suddenly, so it was better to wait until the car's age was up.
At this time, I recognized Wang Qiang's car, and my uncle also saw me in the window, he rolled the window and waved to me, and Wang Qiang also stopped the car.
After the uncle got out of the car, Wang Qiang found a place to park.
In the past few years, I have rarely had the opportunity to meet my uncle, but every time I see him, I still feel as close as I used to.
Every time I see him, he always wears a very loose suit, and he has a small leather bag in his armpits, but no matter how the uncle pampers himself, his simple temperament has never changed.
Uncle's business has been smooth in the past two years, thanks to his simplicity, I also heard my father say later, many people who do business with my uncle have taken a fancy to him, honest, real, no matter how big or small the business, there will never be a shortage of catties or two.
However, although the uncle is sincere, he is not pedantic, and he is more shrewd than anyone else when he should be shrewd, which is probably also due to his experience as an apprentice in the gold bank.
My uncle looked at me from afar, and when I walked up to him with a smile, he opened his hands and gave me a bear hug, and he didn't even realize that the small leather bag under his armpit fell to the ground.
Liang Houzai squatted down and helped my uncle build the bag, and my uncle patted me on the back, looked up at the top of my head, and said with a smile: "Look at your head, how did Lao Chai Tou raise you in the past two years, you have more than 1.9 meters now, right?" ”
"No, it's two centimeters away." As I spoke, I grabbed my uncle's arm and helped him walk towards the entrance of the alley.
In fact, when I was a child, my body really grew fast, and when I was in high school, I was 1.88 meters, but later, I didn't grow taller anymore, and I was always fixed at this height.
This is also something that can't be helped, after all, the genes are here, and no matter how much Master tries to give me supplements, it's useless.
However, my master also said that in our line of work, because we have to go to the grave often, the height is not easy to be too tall, between 1.7 and 1.8 meters, which is already considered a significant excess.
My uncle said that my master is planning to move back to Wangzhuang recently, and he came today mainly to ask me when my master plans to move, so he can help us arrange it in advance.
Master is moving back to Wangzhuang? How come he never mentioned it to me?
It happened to be a Saturday, my dad was home off work, and my mom took a leave of absence to come back early.
When my uncle and I entered the house, I saw a long black stove set up in the yard, the kind of kebab stove used by the roadside, and my parents moved a small pony to sit next to the stove and skewered some red meat on iron skewers.
Not long after, Wang Qiang also entered the courtyard. Because of the relationship between my uncle, Wang Qiang has been very close to our family in recent years, and he was not polite after entering the door, first ran to the house to drink water, and then washed his hands and went to help my parents.
I also moved a mazar for my uncle, and he sat next to my dad and talked to him about family life.
I wanted to help my mom too, but as soon as I reached out to grab the meat in the basin, my mom stopped me: "Okay, okay, don't touch your hands." Go, call your master, let's have a barbecue at home tonight. ”
I looked at the black stove in the yard, then at the iron skewer in my mother's hand, and asked my mother, "Where did these things come from?" ”
My mother stuck the marinated pieces of meat on the iron skewers and said to me without looking up, "Isn't it summer, the shop has got these things, and plans to do barbecue business." Knowing you love it, I'll lend them home and use them for a day to make you a barbecue. ”
After speaking, my mother looked up and said to Liang Houzai: "There are melons in the kitchen, cut them and eat them yourself." ”
Liang Houzai was the same in our house as in his own home, and he was not polite, shouted "eh", and ran into the house by himself.
