Prologue: Unlucky Friend
The sun in June is more roasting than the hot kang in the northeast, a big fat man who looks close to three hundred pounds is wearing a white vest on his upper body, and the lower body is equipped with flower pants and sandals, carrying a few plastic bags in his hands, sweating into the staircase, and is greeting the old woman who happened to come down from the upper floor.
"Liu Jian, I haven't found a job yet." The old woman asked with a smile.
"No, it's so hot that I'm too lazy to look for it."
"If you haven't worked yet, let me tell you that there is a security guard in the building in front of you, who basically sits in an air-conditioned room and earns 2,000 yuan a month. The person in charge over there knows me, and if you want it, I'll tell you about it? ”
"No, I want to rest now."
After a few casual greetings, Liu Jian climbed the stairs and went upstairs.
His house is on the top floor of the seventh floor, and the two-bedroom and one-living room are the houses that were divided into his father's company in the past, and Liu Jian has lived here for 16 years. There is no elevator in the old house, and Liu Jian is a big fat man of nearly 300 pounds, and climbing the stairs every day is a painful torture for him, and it has been tortured for 16 years.
Liu Jian once thought about solving this pain, and there were two reliable solutions, one was to buy a new house with an elevator, but Liu Jian was reluctant.
The second is to lose weight, and Liu Jian is even more reluctant.
For Liu Jian, a middle-aged dead fat man who has a large amount of food and no meat, and has passed the age of thirty, it is not as simple as killing him directly to lose weight.
When he was young, he also had the idea of losing weight, mainly to enter the little girl, after all, his image was really not popular with the beautiful girls in the school, but after three days, he meowed on the scales and weighed two pounds?
Since then, Liu Jian has never been thinking about losing weight, who said that he was in a hurry to lose weight.
After entering the house, I shook the sandal, stepped on the wooden floor barefoot, and was indescribably comfortable, put the dishes I was going to eat today into the kitchen, and stuffed the rest into the refrigerator, first cooked the rice with a rice cooker, and then burned the meat, adjusted the low heat, and let him simmer slowly, and then went to the bathroom to take a cold shower.
A cold shower was poured out, and the rice was ready. Liu Jian scooped out a large spoonful of broth from the pot and put it aside, followed by turning on the high heat to collect the juice, and after making the braised pork, he didn't wash the pot, and then fried a small cabbage broth with the stuffy meat oil.
Braised pork and braised broth stir-fried cabbage, with meat and vegetarian perfect matching.
When he was about to eat, it suddenly got dark, and Liu Jian didn't care, anyway, the face of the child in June changed according to the standard, and he hurriedly rushed to the window to put in the quilt that was drying outside. Throwing the quilt on the bed, Liu Jian sat down again to eat, and as soon as the chopsticks were plugged in, the phone rang suddenly.
"Hello?" Seeing that it was an unfamiliar number, Liu Jian took it easily.
A seemingly fierce voice came suddenly: "Hey, listen, your son is in my hands......"
"Big brother, don't say anything, you can take my son away." Liu Jian interrupted abruptly.
"You think I wouldn't dare?"
"Of course you dare, but I only shot my 200 million son down the toilet yesterday. If you need it, I'll give you another 200 million? ”
"Neurotic!"
With a snap, the phone hung up!
"Good luck today, old wolf, please eat chicken......"
"Hello?"
"Hello sir, are you Mr. Liu? I am Wang Meimei from the sales department of Yongtai International, and a friend of yours, Liu Dan, introduced me to give you this call. So, is it okay to delay you for a minute? Our newly developed real estate Yongtai Garden City has been opened, you ......"
"Yongtai International, it's the one I seem to have heard, alas, it seems to be quite famous. Little sister, your voice is so sweet, how old are you to come out to work? ”
"Little sister, how many years have you been working?"
"Little sister, I will take a look at your photo, and I decided whether to buy it after reading your photo."
"Little sister, have you eaten at noon, why don't you come out and have a meal together?"
"Neurotic!"
Syllable!
Once again, the phone was hung up.
Liu Jian laughed and hung up the phone again to prepare for dinner, and connected two such calls today, and his mood was a little better.
Bang bang bang!
This time it was a knock on the door!
"I'll wipe it, how did you do it today, and you won't let people eat!" Liu Jian put down the dishes and chopsticks and stood up, he decided that if there were toilets, insurance or even water dispensers outside, he would have to let them know what a terrible thing it was to disturb others to eat, especially a fat man with a huge amount of food!
The door opened, and a familiar and strange person was seen.
"Is that you?" Liu Jian said with an indescribable complication in his tone, and then let go of his broad body: "Come in." ”
Closing the door, Liu Jian went to the kitchen and took another pair of dishes and chopsticks.
Liu Jian has always been accustomed to making lunch with dinner, so that he doesn't need to make it again at night, as long as it is hot. As a fat man with a wide heart, it is Liu Jian's creed to be lazy if he can be lazy, and then Liu Jian dragged out half a dozen cold beer from the refrigerator and turned off the air conditioner.
When Liu Jian came out, the person who came in had naturally dragged a chair and shrunk on it, his figure should be very tall, but shrinking there gave people a feeling of thinness.
He was so thin that it was as if he had drained all the water and fat out of his body, leaving only dry skin and bones.
"You should have just woken up at this time, let's eat first."
The two of them ate, and no one spoke at the dinner table. After eating and drinking some cold beer, Liu Jian was already sweating because the air conditioner was turned off, but he still did not turn on the air conditioner, but chose to go to the bathroom to take a shower. When he came out, he saw the man cowering in a chair smoking what looked like a homemade cigarette.
Liu Jian frowned, walked to the window and opened it.
Then he took out a cigarette and smoked it slowly.
That's right, Liu Jian is also addicted to smoking.
The reason why he frowned and opened the window was not because he couldn't stand the smell of smoke, but because he knew that the thin man was smoking a cigarette with some special seasoning.
After waiting for a while, the smell dissipated before Liu Jian sat back opposite the man, looking at him carefully, it was completely different from the image in Liu Jian's memory.
He still had a relaxed and enjoyable look on his face, and his whole person seemed to be soft on the chair as if he had no skeleton, and his eyes were bloodshot when he occasionally opened and closed.
After being silent for a while, Liu Jian spoke: "Have you been to see Xiao Nan?" ”
The man didn't speak, tilted his head, and replied, "Thank you, you're the only one willing to let me in now." ”
"Maybe I shouldn't have let you in." Liu Jian said indifferently: "Maybe it's good for you to kick you out." ”
"Haha......" the man tugged at the corners of his mouth, "yes." ”
The room fell silent again, and after a while the man said with a little begging, "Can you ...... Lend me some money? ”
For a moment, Liu Jian hesitated and struggled, but finally said helplessly: "I only have 10,000, and I will divide you 5,000." ”
"Let's hit your card."
"Hmm."
Liu Jian picked up his mobile phone and used mobile banking to call the money, and the person's body rang, which was an information prompt from mobile banking.
After a while, perhaps after the exertion had passed, the man stood up: "I'm leaving." ”
Liu Jian didn't stand up, and he wasn't ready to send him.
"Liu Jian, you are a good person." Walking to the door and opening the door, the man hesitated and stopped, "Don't be like me." ”
The door was gently closed, and Liu Jian looked at the door for a while before sighing heavily: "Alas! What the fuck is this called? ”
Liu Jian didn't take this matter to heart, turned on the air conditioner, his life was the same as always, just made an extra meal at night, just to save the effort of making lunch tomorrow.
At night, in his sleep, Liu Jian was suddenly woken up by a noisy phone ringing.
Endured the irritability and took the phone, and answered without looking: "Hey, who's it?" ”
"Hello, you're Liu Jian. We are here at the Huaihai Road Public Security Bureau, let me ask you, do you know Li Anping? ”
Li Anping is the one who came to Liu Jian during the day today.
"What's wrong?" Liu Jian's whole body came to his senses, and his brows furrowed fiercely.
