Chapter Fifty-Eight: Intentions

"Well, let's smoke less? Big brother, you have been smoking a lot of cigarettes all over the room, you see that this sister-in-law must have to say it when she comes back! Isn't it? ”

Wu Qi raised his hand and fanned the white smoke that was ethereal in front of him, looking at the old Wu who was sitting on the side swallowing clouds and spitting fog, he really couldn't stand it and said to him.

Lao Wu disagreed, threw down the cigarette butt in his hand, took out another one from the cigarette case, and said to Wu Qi with a smile: "You kid is still too young, you don't know what else to do if you don't know how to smoke?" Got one? ”

"We are disciplined and can't smoke!" Wu Qi hurriedly waved his hand.

Lao Wu frowned and said, "What is the discipline? Don't even let you smoke? I think all of your chiefs smoke, right? Good smoke is all filial to them, right? You are stupid, and if you don't let you do it now, maybe you won't be allowed to smoke in the future, if I don't smoke more now, I can still rely on a smell of smoke to stop smoking in the future! ”

Wu Qi coughed a few times and said, "Big brother, what kind of reason are you doing?" What the hell are you talking about? Besides, you didn't work early this morning, why didn't you finish pumping? It's all about getting back so much, do you want to draw it all at once? ”

But then he saw Lao Wu squeezing his eyebrows and smiling, took out several boxes of brown encapsulated cigarettes from his pocket, raised his eyebrows and said to Wu Qi: "I am reluctant to smoke this good cigarette, I will smoke the previous tattered cigarettes first, and when I am in a good mood one day, I will open it and smoke it, oops, this must be a immortal!" ”

"Ascended to immortal? Looks like you're in a hurry, do I have to give you a ride? ”

Before Wu Qi could speak, he suddenly saw Jiang Nan coming back, and stomped his feet at the door while mocking Old Wu.

And Lao Wu was not angry at all, and quickly threw the cigarette he had just smoked a few puffs on the ground and stepped on it, and went up to him and said, "How can it? I'm joking with Xiao Qi, I'm not in a hurry to ascend to immortality. Then if you ascend to immortal and leave, won't you become a widow? How could I be sorry for you? ”

Jiang Nan took off the thick cotton coat and threw it to Lao Wu, who came up with him, and said without even looking at him: "I don't care, it's a big deal to find another one!" After hearing this, Lao Wu hurried up to please the general and said, "What are you looking for?" Who in the world can be better to you than me? You should wish I had lived a few more years! ”

Seeing the two of them walking towards the stairs, they could still hear Jiang Nan's somewhat cold voice saying, "Why is it so smoky, don't follow me!" And Lao Wu didn't know what to say, and followed all the way upstairs.

Wu Qi watched them leave the direction for a long time. Then he shook his head, this eldest brother finally got a daughter-in-law, but he became the skinless and faceless appearance he is now, and he feels ashamed to think about it. However, this Jiang Nan's speech was directly prickly, and the people who listened to it were panicked, but Lao Wu was used to thick skin and thick meat, and life might be like this, if the two of them were like ordinary people, it would be a bit abnormal.

There was no one in the morning. Wu Qi slept too much this time, and in this special situation, he was waiting to eat, he was really hungry. When he had nothing to do, he turned his head around the counter, and there was a wooden board hanging behind him, and there were several rows of nails nailed to it, each with a number written on it, and a key hanging on it. Obviously, it corresponds to the house number. Seeing this, Wu Qi swept around, and made an empty place between No. 2 and No. 3 and No. 25. With neither nails nor numbers, it looks like this ominous room is still inhabited, and even the keys are not hung.

But thinking carefully about the scene in the morning, it seems that it is really a bit evil, Wu Qi tentatively looked at the corridor on the second floor at first glance, but when he walked out. The square door of room 2 and 4 in the first room around the corner opened wide, and he must have retracted his head and suddenly opened, either there was someone in the room, or it was really hell.

The most damning things lately have been people, and this cold bumped into strange things. Wu Qi was still in the mood for some inquiry, he felt that there might be some story in that room, maybe it was not haunted, but something hidden in people's eyes.

It didn't take long for Lao Wu to run back, lying on the counter and saying to Wu Qi, "Hey Qi'er? Did you have any visitors in the morning? ”

Wu Qi blinked, looked at his clothes again, and said with some embarrassment: "I'm here, but I thought we were a hotel in the military region, so I didn't dare to stay and run!" ”

I originally thought that Lao Wu could be unhappy, but I didn't think that he was laughing heartlessly, and he couldn't help but take out a cigarette in his hand and habitually took out a cigarette with his back against the counter and said: "It's okay, anyway, whether there is anyone living in the hotel has nothing to do with us, the eldest brother and sister-in-law are on the national salary, and the country is happy with the money they pay, it doesn't matter if there are no customers, there are more businesses on the street, and the country is so big that our family loses money!" ”

After listening to it, I understood why Lao Wu was so leisurely, although they are all state workers, but this is not much different from those factories and docks to resist the contract? This place is sheltered from the wind and rain, there is a fire kang when the weather is cold, eat and smoke when you have nothing to do, this little life is good, so that Wu Qidu is moved, and he wants to follow his eldest brother after retiring from the army.

Wu Qihan said teasingly: "Big brother, I told the army to retire after half a year and two years, how about coming to your help when the time comes?" ”

But Lao Wu spat out a cigarette and said, "Do you still have the idea of being discharged from the army?" Isn't it true that you can be a soldier for as long as you want? Besides, if you don't follow Li Huan, how useless are you to come and mess with me? This more than a year of soldiers in vain? ”

I can't take it down after being told by Lao Wu, because Wu Qi knows the matter in his heart, but he can't tell Lao Wu, this matter is very important, and even if it is resolved in the future, the person who knows is still in danger. Because the people of the Five Elements Group all grew up together, the relationship between them should be like brothers and sisters, but Wu Qi didn't expect them to be really ruthless, and they really didn't care about any friendship, Li Huan said that the cleanup must have killed them, since he was so ruthless to those who grew up together, not to mention that he was a useless person who had only known each other for a short time. Wu Qi's thoughts are not unreasonable, but he will really understand the things here in the future, not everything is on the surface, only by digging deep will he really understand.

The military service of our country began to be carried out from the two years of the Republic of China, and it was not until five or five years later that the military service of New China began, during this period because of factors such as war, all soldiers belonged to the nature of volunteers, and they were all indefinite military service, not that they could be discharged and returned to their hometowns after a few years, there was no such thing, and those who took the initiative to retire from the army had to be approved by their superiors before they could agree to let go, otherwise they would have been soldiers, don't want to run.

But after the liberation, because there are many things that are particular about governing the army and the people, the soldiers are not allowed to take anything from the people's homes, that is, they don't take a stitch and a thread, and the common people demand that everyone be equal, and there is no class status of the previous master, and they are not allowed to engage in these things, everyone has to work, and workers are being recruited everywhere, and at one time everyone had a job, although they all relied on manpower and were not efficient, but the labor force of more than 100 million people still increased explosively in the output of some military industries such as steel, which paved the way for the future.

Lao Wu actually wanted Wu Qi to mention his previous regrets that he had completed, even if he was not so prominent, but at least he had to live a famous life, so when Wu Qi said that he was going to retire from the army when he was a soldier for two years to guard the broken hotel with him, Lao Wu was a little angry, thinking that this child's idea was too unproductive, and Li Huan was still so sloppy with him, and he was a little muddy and couldn't get on the wall.

Wu Qi couldn't tell the truth, he could only hold back his silence, he felt that his ability was far from enough, and it was even more fantastical to want to go to Li Huanna, so he couldn't help but feel a little depressed, and he didn't speak.

But it's also a coincidence, when the two brothers were in a state of not speaking to each other, suddenly a head poked in from the outside, it was a rough man of forty or fifty years old, thin and his face was full of stubble, and his face was as red as if he was drinking, and he opened his mouth to reveal a mouth full of broken teeth and said: "Old Wu! I passed by the gate row, just looking at a bunch of letters that had just arrived, are you coincidental, this happens to be yours on it, doesn't this say Aimin Hotel? I'll bring it to you! ”

This red-faced man is not a local, he also came from other places, but he was much earlier than Lao Wu, and that face was not drunk, but frozen after staying outside for a long time. This person is so nosy, but he is not a bad person, but he is not likable, on the contrary, he is a little annoying, but Lao Wu is a layman in the market, he can talk to this red-faced man, he doesn't often come to visit the door, and sometimes he can mix a meal to eat.

As soon as Lao Wu heard that it was a letter from their hotel, he thought at that time if it was the address left by the person staying in the hotel? He beckoned to the red-faced man and said, "Da Yuan come in, come in and warm up, and I'll see who the letter is for!" ”

The red-faced man's name is Ji Yongyuan, and others call him Dayuan. This Da Yuan got into half of his body, but he didn't dare to step into the house, turned his head and looked around, and then raised his hand to hand the letter to Lao Wu, and whispered: "Oh, I don't dare to enter you, let your girl find out and think that I came to you to play for money, and you have to peel me off?" Come on, this must be your letter, take it, I'll have to go to work! Let's go! ”

Lao Wu didn't stop him, but stared at the envelope in his hand and was stunned, Wu Qi felt strange and leaned over to take a look, but there was only one line written on the envelope, "Received by Aimin Hotel in front of Siping Street Station, Jilin Province" The sender is a name that they are familiar with and cannot be familiar with, it is the fourth child of the grave team, Li Fude.

When Wu Qiyi saw that it was a letter sent by his fourth brother, he was so excited that he couldn't do it, so he hurriedly took the letter from Lao Wu's hand, and tore the edge in front of him, but there was only half a piece of paper inside. Lao Wu didn't do it, but took out another cigarette, put it up and knocked it on the counter table a few times, pressed the cigarette, grabbed it with his mouth, lit the fire and took a deep breath, didn't look back at Wu Qi and said directly: "Did you say that the second child came to me?" ”

Wu Qi looked more excited, and said with a smile: "Yes! The second brother is estimated to be coming soon! ”

"Oh, this bearded arm is tossing me again! It's really helpless! Lao Wu raised his hand to cover his forehead, but then turned his head and smiled at Wu Qiya, and the three of them reunited. (To be continued......)
