Chapter 4: The Eve of Departure
This small building looks unsightly from the outside, and there is a New Year's picture of a bare-ass doll holding a big carp at the door. Looking at the rustic appearance, I couldn't imagine that Huang Ran, who had always been a newcomer, would choose such a place to live. But after following Huang Ran in, he found that there was a different scene inside the small building.
The inside of Huang Ran's small building can be described as a cave, after bypassing a crystal screen, I first saw a floor paved with tempered glass under my feet. Beneath the floor is a half-meter-deep pond in which a dozen or twenty koi of various colors swim around. The walls on both sides are paved with beige marble tiles, and above the head are chandeliers in the shape of wind chimes, and people walk underneath them, tinkling and clanging.
Further inside is the living room, where there is a European-style fireplace on the wall that is actually half-burned. On one of the central walls are portraits of two old men, one of whom I recognize as Min Tianyuan, the former president of the Religious Council. Another old man who looked very similar to him just now should be the legendary figure of the committee members, the former president of Min Tianyuan-Min Tianzong
It was the first time for several of us to go to Huang Ran's house in the capital, and after Sun Fatzi came in, he smashed his mouth, sat on the sofa, looked at Huang Ran, and said, "Old Huang, didn't I say, do you sell this house?" If you have enough of living and want to change the environment, remember to tell me. I'll buy your house for as much as you want. "
"What kind of money is not money" Huang Ran smiled slightly, took off his coat and hung it up, and then continued: "If you like it, when I find a new home, this house will be given to you."
As soon as he finished saying this, Monk Xiao suddenly came to his senses and said, "Wait a minute, Huang Ran, you won't only have this house in the capital, right?" If there is any, think of me. Alas, you don't know, I'm older, the house I live in is still rented, there is no pension insurance, I don't live in my own house, I just don't have the bottom ...... in my heart"
Before he finished speaking, I couldn't help it, interrupted him, and said, "Lao Xiao, it's almost enough, the house you live in is indeed not your own." But you are greedy for the cheap rent of other landlords, if it weren't for the fact that a few people were hanged one after another, people would be able to rent you such a big house with three bedrooms and one living room, and the price of cabbage for 200 months? You yourself bought seven or eight houses outside for rent, and there are three or four counters, and at least 180,000 a month, right? "
Being poked by me in front of Huang Ran, Monk Xiao couldn't hold back a little on his face, and was about to argue a few words, saying that those properties were all properties of Lingyunguan, but he was stopped by Sun Fatzi, and after yawning a few times one after another, he asked Huang Ran to sleep in the room.
Unexpectedly, this small building doesn't look big, but there are four bedrooms in it, and I don't know who he has so many bedrooms in his house. Monk Xiao was not polite at all, and directly occupied Huang Ran's own master bedroom, Sun Fatzi and I found a bedroom by the way, and after a few polite words with Huang Ran, we went to sleep.
This night was full of nightmares, and in the hazy haze, there was a white-haired man who kept chasing me, and I had to work hard to feed. chased me until the cliff that Lin Feng forced me to jump off at the beginning, and forced me to jump again. When I jumped, I suddenly woke up from a nightmare.
When I opened my eyes, my clothes were soaked, and even my bedding was soaked with sweat. I ran out of bed and glanced out the window. It was still dim and dark outside the window. I looked at the time again, and it was only five o'clock now, why did I get dizzy after sleeping for so long? When I was about to turn over and sleep for a while, the phone rang suddenly, and I glanced at the caller ID in a daze, and it was Sun Fatzi who called. I answered the phone and was about to complain, when I heard Sun Fatzi say on the phone: "Spicy, I've slept all day." It's not that I said, just come down and get something to eat. Sleep after eating? "
"What slept all day, and now it's only morning...... It's five o'clock in the evening? At this time, I realized that I had really slept for a day, and at this time, Sun Fatzi continued on the phone: "I planned to call you at noon, but I didn't dare to alarm you when you slept soundly, and I didn't expect you to sleep until now." Come down, the eldest lady and Zhang stammered in the afternoon, and Shao Yiyi will arrive in a while, waiting for you. "
"It's all here? What are they doing here? "As soon as I got out of my mouth, I remembered what happened last night, strictly this morning. I'm really dazed, and I still have to react to what just happened for a long time......
"Well, I'll change my clothes and go down" I hung up the phone with that. But the phone also hung up, and I realized that the clothes on my body were soaked, but there was no way, so I could only put on my coat and go to the bathroom to wash my face first, and then I went downstairs in a daze.
Sun Fatzi and the others are now in the kitchen, and I smelled the aroma of sesame paste from afar, and then saw the smoke in the kitchen, and a unique aroma of hot pot wafted out. Immediately afterwards, I saw a fat head sticking out of the kitchen, grinning at me, and said, "Shao Yiyi has just arrived, and now everyone is together, come on, spicy, come down and make shabu!" "
When I got to the kitchen, I saw Huang Ran, Monk Xiao, Meng Qiqi and Zhang Zhiyan, and Shao Yiyi was already around a round table, fishing for a large copper hot pot. There were more than a dozen kinds of beef, sheep, vegetables and seafood on the table, and these people were eating hot and sweating.
Sun Fatzi stood at the door, with two small bowls in front of him, and he was mixing condiments inside. After seeing me at my side, Sun Fatzi handed me one of the spice bowls and said, "If you come a little later, you can only drink soup." It's not that I said it, but I realized that Master Xiao kept it last night. I came back with nine packets, and I got up a little late at noon, and Lao Xiao actually ate them all. Do you remember that soup? He really asked Lao Huang for a piece of tofu stewed. Look at ...... he's now."
Sun Fatzi raised his chin to Monk Xiao, who was already sweating, and said, "Most of the beef and mutton and seafood are almost eaten by him alone. Come on, if you don't serve again, you won't be gone in a while."
Saying that, Sun Fatzi pulled me to the front of the hot pot. I slept all day and now I know I'm hungry. After a few polite words, he poured a whole plate of mutton in front of him into the hot pot, and after cooking and changing color, he fished out the cabbage and shrimp balls in the pot with the dried cabbage and shrimp balls, mixed with condiments, and ate them violently.
By this time, the rest of the people had eaten almost enough. Huang Ran was the first to put down his chopsticks, looked at Sun Fatzi and said, "Let's talk about the process again, tomorrow at ten o'clock in the morning, Yang Xiao and Yang Jun will meet us at the airport." You will be picked up at the local airport from the casino. We stayed one night at the hotel provided by the casino. Then I got on the train at half past eight the next morning, and went straight to the casino at half past eleven in the morning on the third day. There's nothing wrong with that, right? "
Sun Fatzi had just finished drinking a glass of beer, and said with a hiccup: "Almost, we are one flight late, just arrive a little later than the Japanese." The rest will be arranged by the casino. "
When Huang Ran and Sun Fatzi were talking, I had just finished eating the meat slices on the plate, and was about to order something else, when I heard their conversation, I was stunned, and then said to Sun Fatzi: "Great Sage, what do you mean?" Isn't there still some time? Why did you go tomorrow? "
Sun Fatzi looked at me, and then at Monk Xiao who was putting slices of meat into the hot pot, and said: "Isn't it that Old Master Xiao's mouth is fast, he contacted the casino in the morning, and he is in the hands of others." The casino is also planning to contact our side to say that there is a new movement on the government side, and there is a politician who has a bad relationship with them who wants to be a high-ranking local official. He may veto the train line outright, and the casino has already made it clear to the local government to complete the train re-operation ceremony before the politician takes office.
The casino has already contacted the Japanese priest, and the Japanese have agreed, and when they were about to contact Master Xiao, Lao Xiao sent it to the door by himself. Didn't I say, Old Master Xiao, did you agree so happily? Isn't it okay to prepare for a day and a half? The last few words were directed at Monk Xiao.
Monk Xiao's face was also flushed at this time, he smiled a little embarrassedly, and finally said, "Aren't you all going early and going late?" Besides, isn't it good to make money earlier? The one signed on the contract is called paper, and the one that is in hand is called money. "
Just when Monk Xiao was defending himself, I suddenly thought of something, and immediately said to Huang Ran: "Old Huang, I have to trouble you to send me, my passport, change of clothes and everything are at home, you send me back to ......"
Before I could finish my words, Sun Fatzi looked at me with a smile and said, "Spicy, don't be so troublesome. Your passport is spare, I went back to the company in the afternoon, there are a few clothes in your changing box, I brought it to you, the things are in the living room, you can see for yourself after eating in a while. "
"Do you have a spare passport? Wait, my changing box is locked...... When I didn't say this, "Sun Fatzi's words make me a little puzzled, which passport was still when I went to the United States, and I don't know what happened to the spare one." As for the locked changing box, in the eyes of Sun Fatzi, it is no different from opening it widely.
Sun Fatzi grinned and said to me: "When I first made the passport, I printed a few more copies of the few of us and kept them for this time. "
After all that is said. Sun Fatzi looked at Shao Yiyi, who had already eaten almost enough, and said: "If you are full of food and drink, find a place to rest early, and go out at half past seven tomorrow morning, if you don't get up, you will automatically give up this benefit." "
