The day before the start of the season.

The taxi bumped down the potholed road and drove towards the old residential area. The old buildings on both sides are covered in smoky black-gray walls, and scattered wildflowers and weeds grow between the cracks of the stone bricks.

Jiang Luosheng sat in the back seat of the car, his mobile phone to his ear, "I'm going to see my dad now." ”

Xiao Qi's voice came from the other end, "Stay safe." ”

"Hmm. You'll get off work in a while, and we'll see you at the door. ”

The person over there chuckled, "Can't you see you directly in the restaurant?" ”

"Don't try to fool me. I'm not going to tell you the name of the restaurant. Jiang Luosheng said leisurely, "I said it was a birthday surprise, and I couldn't disclose the itinerary in advance." ”

"Good. See you later. ”

"See you later." Jiang Luosheng said sweetly, "Happy birthday." ”

"Thank you."

The taxi stopped at the entrance of the community, "Girl, the place has arrived." ”

Jiang Luosheng hung up the phone, paid the money, and stepped out of the taxi.

Jiang Yuan lives on the first floor of the building at the end of the community.

When Jiang Luosheng passed by the window, he had already heard the sound of mahjong colliding inside, "Six!" ”

"Huh!"

This was followed by a loud commotion mixed with laughter.

Jiang Luosheng walked into the corridor and rang the doorbell.

"It's coming, it's coming!" Jiang Yuan took a cigarette in his mouth, pulled his slippers, and trotted all the way over.

The door creaked open. Jiang Luosheng just wanted to open his mouth to call him "Dad", but when he saw a few card players inside, he immediately shut up sensibly, and just smiled faintly at Jiang Yuan.

Jiang Yuan hurriedly ran back to the table and sat down, his eyes widened, "Shuffle the cards, you guys!" Why are you stunned? ”

"Old Jiang, your beautiful niece is so sensible, she always comes to see you." The man with a stubble on his face pressed the cigarette butt into the ashtray and stared at Jiang Luosheng, "Much more sensible than your son." ”

Jiang Yuan, who was touching the cards, immediately cooled his face, "Lao Wang, don't talk nonsense." ”

Lao Wang narrowed his eyes, "What's the matter?" Can't even listen to the truth? ”

Jiang Luosheng lowered his head and changed his slippers at the door. In these dozens of square meters of one-bedroom and one-room living room, the smoke seems to be inexhaustible.

Seeing this, the two female card friends quickly stood up and diverted the topic, "Okay, okay, let's disperse." I'll make an appointment tomorrow. ”

"No more rounds?" Jiang Yuan hadn't had enough fun yet, "Why are you leaving so early?" ”

"We're not like you, who spend our days doing nothing." When the long-curly-haired female friend passed by Jiang Yuan's side, she raised her eyebrows at him ambiguously, "Come and collect your rent at night." ”

Jiang Yuan's throat moved, raised his head and spit out a smoke ring, "Waiting for you." ”

Jiang Luosheng turned sideways to give way, pretending not to see the stubble-covered old Wang looking up and down with a tease when he passed by her.

After the three of them left, the room finally fell silent.

Jiang Luosheng brought the door and finally opened his mouth: "Dad, smoke less." ”

Jiang Yuan still had a cigarette in his mouth, sat down on the sofa, turned on the TV, and glanced at Jiang Luosheng, "The girl came empty-handed?" ”

Jiang Luosheng walked over, sat down beside Jiang Yuan, and took out a bulging envelope from his bag.

Jiang Yuan took the envelope, took out the wad of money inside, and counted them one by one. The more he counted, the more satisfied the expression on his face became.

Finally, he stuffed the money back into the envelope and said in a more enthusiastic tone, "Girl, how are you doing?" ”

Jiang Luosheng sat up straighter and said in a well-behaved tone, "Dad, do you remember the last time I told you that I mentioned solo dancing?" ”

Jiang Yuan narrowed his eyes, "Remember, of course I remember." ”

"The winter season starts tomorrow." Jiang Luosheng's tone was cautious, like a child who wanted to be rewarded with a little red flower, "I danced all important roles." ”

Hearing this, Jiang Yuan became curious, "Hey, are you the chief dancer the soloist?" ”

Jiang Luosheng shook his head, "If you raise the solo dance to another level, you will be the chief." ”

"Oh." Jiang Yuan said slowly.

Jiang Luosheng hurriedly added, "But I'm the youngest solo dancer in the troupe." Jump for a while and you'll be able to move up the ladder. ”

"Okay, okay." Jiang Yuan responded perfunctorily, stood up and walked to the refrigerator.

Jiang Luosheng lowered his eyes and pursed his lips.

Still not good enough?

She took out her mobile phone and sent a message to Wan Qi again: Director Wan, recommend me to be the endorsement of Olinna. Whatever you ask me to do, I'm willing.
