Chapter 5 IOUs (Asking for Collections, Asking for Recommendation Votes)
"Nangong ...... Well...... On January 9, 1995, the old man of Nangong owed the handsome guy Gu Bei 700 yuan in advance for medical expenses, and set up this document as evidence, and voluntarily paid a monthly interest rate of 5%, promising to pay it off before December 31, 1995! Gu Bei muttered while writing an IOU, "The borrower, the old man of Nangong, the borrower, Gu Bei, January 9, 1995!" ”
"No! I'm gone, and the old man will live alone from now on, and no one cares, if this happens again...... I still have to ask for more. Thinking of this, Gu Bei picked up his pen and wrote a paragraph on another page.
"That's it!" Gu Bei looked at the IOU he wrote down with satisfaction, but looking at the words "Nangong Old Man" on it, he felt very twisted, thought about it for a while, and asked the nurse to ask for a copy of Indonesia, and pressed a handprint on him while the old man had not woken up.
"Hey...... Don't die, old man, you still owe me money. As Gu Bei spoke, he was about to put the IOU in his pocket, but suddenly, Gu Bei remembered one more thing, so he spread out the IOU again, pulled out an arrow, and added a sentence.
And owe the handsome guy Gu Bei's first kiss, and the second, third, and fourth kisses...... It seems to be thirteen times, forget it, just write twenty times. After Gu Bei finished writing, he felt that something was wrong, his first kiss was given to the old man, but the old man's first kiss was probably gone decades ago.
Just when Gu Bei was thinking wildly, the door of the ward was opened, which instantly pulled Gu Bei's thoughts back: "It's over!" It's going to be late! ”
When he got up and saw the standard family of three, Gu Bei's eyes unconsciously flashed a trace of loneliness: "Uncle, aunt, you are the old ...... Grandpa Nangong's family, Grandpa Nangong suddenly fainted just now, but it's no big deal now, ask the doctor specifically, I'm in a bit of a hurry now, I'm sorry, I'll go first! ”
"Are you the big brother that my grandfather said?"
Gu Bei glanced down at the little Lori, and suddenly felt very similar to the little Hua Dan in the memory of the HC old demon, but time did not allow Gu Bei to think too much, so he just smiled and said to the little Lori: "You are the granddaughter teacher that Grandpa Nangong often says, right?" You're so cute, but my brother has something to leave now, and I'll come back to see you! ”
"Thank you, little brother!" After the old man's daughter asked the doctor, she thanked Gu Bei.
"You're welcome, Auntie, don't say more, I'm really not going to catch up!"
After speaking, Gu Bei turned around and left, and there was a beautiful children's voice behind him again: "Goodbye, big brother!" Remember to come and see me! ”
After a few hours of delay, Gu Bei also endured the pain once and took the first taxi since he lived alone.
First, he went back to the rental house, and after taking his things, Gu Bei also rushed to the train station.
The taxi is really powerful, it is a little more expensive, but Gu Bei also arrived before half past eleven, bought a pack of cigarettes, and contacted the public phone booth, Gu Bei also met the friend surnamed Xiong that Zhang Jiayi said.
"Brother Xiong!" Gu Bei called out politely, "I'm sorry for you." ”
"Gu Bei, right? What's the trouble here, it's all Jiayi's friends, my name is Xiong Zhengyu, you can call me Brother Xiong, or Brother Yu, okay, let's go buy tickets first, and we'll talk about the rest later. Saying that, Xiong Zhengyu took out his ticket from his wallet and handed it to Gu Bei, "Just buy it according to this train." ”
"Hmm!" Gu Bei took the ticket and handed over the pack of Zhonghua he bought, "Brother Xiong, then I still need to trouble you to wait here for a while, this pack of cigarettes should be smoked to relieve boredom." ”
"Hey, you're still playing this game with me!" Xiong Zhengyu scolded with a smile, and took out a few yuan from his wallet, "Okay, I bought this cigarette, you hurry up and buy a ticket!" ”
Gu Bei smiled, and didn't pretend to Xiong Zhengyu anymore, thinking that he would find another opportunity to invite Xiong Zhengyu to a meal in the future, and no longer delayed, Gu Bei ran to buy a train ticket to Chengdu at half past 12.
After more than an hour, the rest of the crew also arrived, and Xiong Zhengyu introduced some of them to Gu Bei, but because he was in a hurry, the locations were not all together, so Gu Bei didn't know Quan.
These people are also carrying all kinds of things in large bags, Gu Bei is very good, and took the initiative to take over the two big boxes, although I don't know what is inside, but Gu Bei estimates that it should be some instruments and equipment, or special props.
After tossing and turning for a long time, Gu Bei also changed his position to Xiong Zhengyu and his party, and as soon as he sat down, he heard Qu Yang, who Gu Bei had just known for a while, take out a deck of playing cards from his bag: "Fatty, old bear, come, one, two, three." ”
Quyang speaks with a lot of ballast, and it sounds like a northeasterner, but listening to Xiong Zhengyu's introduction, Quyang is a native of TH city in Inner Mongolia near Beiping and the northeast, but he looks very much like an Inner Mongolian person, rough and bold.
The fat man, whose real name is Zhang Haixin, is an authentic Beiping person, but from Fangshan, and his accent brings together the characteristics of the three dialects of the old Beiping dialect, authentic Tianjin dialect and Baoding accent, and he looks white and fat, so he is called a fat man.
Xiong Zhengyu, like Gu Bei, is also a southerner, but Xiong Zhengyu has been drifting north for seven or eight years longer than Gu Bei, and Gu Bei is from Guangdong Province, and Xiong Zhengyu is from Shancheng.
Gu Bei has been out for a year and a half, and naturally understands what "one, two, three" means, it is nothing more than fighting the landlord to fight one, two, three, three yuan, three yuan cap, whoever shouts the big one will be the landlord.
"Lao Yang, don't make an IOU if you lose!" Xiong Zhengyu joked with Qu Yang, it seems that he has had such an experience before.
"IOU!" Gu Bei's eyes widened suddenly, and he suddenly remembered an extremely important matter.
Hearing Gu Bei's startled, the fat man, Qu Yang, and Xiong Zhengyu all looked at Gu Bei in confusion, and Xiong Zhengyu asked directly, "What's wrong?" ”
"It's not a big deal, it's just that I forgot to take the IOU!" Gu Bei regretted a little that he didn't start at the beginning, why did he go in such a hurry, 700 yuan is a small matter, but the first kiss is a big thing!!
……
At the same time that Gu Bei got on the train from Beiping to Chengdu, the old man of Nangong in a hospital in Beiping also woke up leisurely, and when he opened his eyes, he saw his familiar daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter.
Recalling what happened before he fell asleep, the old man Nangong asked for the first time, "What about the little guy?" ”
"Gone, looks busy, but he left this one behind." The old man's daughter was holding an IOU written by Gu Bei painstakingly and a blank piece of paper with a paragraph written on it.
The old man of Nangong took the IOU left by Gu Bei, and when he saw the 5% monthly interest rate on it, he almost jumped out of bed out of breath, but he saw that it seemed to be lined up, and it was written "first kiss, second kiss, third kiss, fourth kiss...... Nineteen kisses, twenty kisses", couldn't help laughing again, and then picked up another piece of paper, only to see a paragraph written on it:
"Old man, don't die, I'm still waiting for you to call me big brother. You said that you are so rich, and your daughter is so filial, why did you run out to live alone, I advise you to go back and live with your daughter and son-in-law, otherwise, no one will know if you die one day. By the way, don't forget my pager number, call me if you have something. ”
"This little bastard!" The old man Nangong scolded with a smile, then folded the two pieces of paper in a regular manner, and then carefully put them into his coat pocket.
"Dad, just listen to that little brother and move in with us." The old man's daughter also comforted at the right time.
The old man Nangong pondered for a moment, then nodded: "Okay, remember to find someone to move my things over when you go back." ”
"No problem!" Hearing that the old man finally agreed, the old man's son-in-law hurriedly agreed, "I sold the old house to you?" ”
"Are you short of money?"
"It's not lacking, it's just that it's useless to put the house there."
"If there is no shortage, then don't sell it!" The old man Nangong accentuated his tone, "I still keep it and rent it to others." ”
"Then I'll help you find an agency?" The old man's son-in-law asked tentatively again.
"No, I'm going to keep it for a bastard, a little bastard."
The old man's daughter and son-in-law glanced at each other, and they all shrugged their shoulders helplessly, so they didn't say anything more, they knew more about the old man's stubbornness, and his family was not short of money, and the old house, keep it.
"Grandpa, who is the eldest brother?" Little Lori was lying on the edge of the old man's bed, and asked curiously, that look, it looked very cute, and she had a baby fat face, and her eyes were fluttering, as if they were glowing.
"That stinky boy, he's a bastard." The old man said mercilessly, but anyone could see that the old man was smiling brightly at the moment, even the old man's daughter Nangong Xiaokong hadn't seen her father laugh so happily for a long time.
"Bastard?" Master Liu frowned at his petite brow, "Didn't grandpa say that the eldest brother is good?" ”
"It's good, but when you see him in the future, remember to help your grandfather beat him."
"Hmm!" Master Liu clenched his little fist, defended his grandfather, and said very firmly, "I will definitely beat him for the rest of my life!" ”
