Chapter 19: A Night of Improvisation
Wang Xiaomin didn't reply, waved his hand and shouted, "Where do you write lyrics, I will still go, remember to bring me a soft-shelled turtle......"
The voice drifted away in the night wind, and Zhang Xuebing didn't hear what was said behind him.
"Dude, where do you live?" Captain Yang asked respectfully, in his heart, the young man in front of him seemed to be a little more terrifying than Wang Xiaomin, who had a deep background.
Zhang Xuebing had nowhere to go, so he just said that he could find a place to eat that was not closed.
Captain Yang was nervous at the moment, and he naturally wanted to show a hand when he seized the opportunity, "It's not easy to eat, it's our work mistakes that have caused you inconvenience today, I have to be responsible for this, I'll ask ...... tonight."
"It just so happens that there is a barbecue that is open all night, and the meat is fragrant." Captain Yang looked at Zhang Xuebing with an eager face, "What's not to your taste?" ”
This Captain Yang is a chameleon, half an hour ago, he was cold, but now he has become a spring breeze again, he is a character who can bend and stretch, and he may be able to rise step by step in the future.
But Zhang Xuebing doesn't want to get too close to him, not for anything else, just because this kind of person has no moral bottom line, maybe it's a time bomb, you don't know when you will be sold by the other party, so it's better to stay away.
Zhang Xuebing refused the other party's overtures on the excuse that he didn't dare to eat at night because it was too greasy, and let him find a wonton shop that was still open.
The servants drank a few bowls of wontons, and the hot wontons finally filled their stomachs.
At this time, it was already sleepy in the middle of the night, Zhang Xuebing planned to find a place to rest as soon as possible, looked up and saw a cheap hotel with neon lights on the street, and immediately decided to go to spend the night.
"The meal has also been eaten, and the two of us will part ways!"
As he spoke, he was about to settle the bill.
Zhang Xuebing's lukewarm attitude made Captain Yang even more uneasy in his heart.
Today's matter is not big or small, and if you don't handle it well, you can even be severely punished.
Wang Xiaomin couldn't stammer, but Wang Xiaomin's attitude towards Zhang Xuebing made him mistakenly think that the two were a couple, so he just wanted to try his best to please Zhang Xuebing at the moment.
He rushed to settle the account, and said with a smile on his face, "Where is my brother's house, don't get me wrong, I'm not inquiring, I just want to know where to send the lost property after it is found?" ”
Zhang Xuebing originally wanted to go to the terminal to get it, but after thinking about it, he changed his mouth and said his own address.
Hearing that Captain Yang of Zhangjia Village was stunned for a moment, he immediately patted his chest and promised that he would find the lost property as soon as possible, and he would send Zhang Xuebing back to the village now.
In the middle of the night, I took the car into the mountain in the middle of the night, and I said that there was something important tomorrow, and it was a blind toss to go back at this time, and immediately rejected the kindness of this guy, and said goodbye to Zhao Xianming and turned around and walked out of the wonton restaurant.
The night is like ink, the night breeze is like water, if it weren't for the sleepiness of the dark, Zhang Xuebing really planned to walk on the streets in the middle of the night and experience the quietness and coolness of the summer night.
As soon as he walked to the door of the hotel, Zhao Xianming's voice came from behind him, "I thought you were in a hurry to find a good match, it turns out that you have no place to live, go home with me, I am alone, make do with it for the night!" ”
Today, thanks to Zhao Xianming's help, Zhang Xuebing couldn't refuse, and went back to a dormitory not far from him.
Zhang Xuebing followed Zhao Xianming to an old six-story red brick simple building, and there were no street lights in the black hole corridor.
"Be careful under your feet, no one has taken care of this broken building for many years, your sister-in-law and children live in the city, I make do here by myself when I go to work, and go home for reunion on the weekend, hey, no different from the old bachelor!"
This kind of old building is a product of the fifties and sixties, there is no independent toilet, there is only one public toilet on each floor, the corridor is not fully enclosed, there are seven or eight families living on the first floor, and the corridor is almost blocked by honeycomb coal stoves and sundries, dirty and messy.
The two stumbled up to the third floor, Zhao Xianming took out the key to open a wooden door with mottled paint, and beckoned Zhang Xuebing to enter.
His house is a suite room, a total of more than 30 square meters, the inside is a bedroom, and the outside is a living room and dining room.
"You're welcome, just sit down, I'll boil water and pour tea!" As he spoke, he picked up an aluminum alloy kettle.
Zhang Xuebing was already angry, sat crookedly on the sofa, rubbed his sore temples and said, "Uncle Zhao, it's very good that you can stay overnight, don't be busy anymore, I'll get together for the night, and I have something to do when I get up early tomorrow!" ”
"Why do you want to drink some water when you come to the house......" Zhao Xianming turned around, only to see that Zhang Xuebing was already leaning on the sofa and snoring.
He couldn't help but smile wryly, put down the kettle and went back to sleep.
The next morning, Zhang Xuebing was awakened by the strong smell of food, and when he opened his eyes, he saw bright red fried fritters and steaming tofu brain on the coffee table.
Leeks, garlic, sesame paste, chili oil, and soy sauce sesame oil lined with white jade-like tofu brains make people whet their appetites.
There is no need to ask if these are all breakfasts prepared by Zhao Xianming, Zhang Xuebing was already hungry, and he didn't politely pick it up and eat it.
The door of Zhang Xuebing's enjoyment was pushed open, and Zhao Xianming came in with a porcelain plate with a smell of oil smoke, and the plate was a golden fried egg.
"Uncle Zhao is too polite, I'll just make do with my mouth, I'm embarrassed!"
Zhao Xianming sat opposite with a smile, picked up his own and said while eating, "What's polite, I don't even have a person in this little nest, you can come and have a meal with me, it's too late for me to be happy, brother, are you still going to sell fish today?" ”
Zhang Xuebing knew in his heart that if he was just a fish seller, the other party would definitely not be so enthusiastic, he was aiming for Wang Xiaomin's face, and he was afraid that he would ask for something.
However, Zhang Xuebing was still grateful to Zhao Xianming, and immediately smiled, "Selling fish is just my hobby, but if Uncle Zhao wants fish, I have it on hand!" ”
Hobby selling fish? Zhao Xianming almost burst out laughing, seeing that Zhang Xuebing had almost eaten, he got up and packed up his things and said.
"It's a coincidence, I'm going to ask for a few more turtles, this is a good thing, I can't see it by chance, if you can get it, I'll be round!"
After the leader ate the turtle last time, he praised it greatly, and Zhao Xianming had something to ask for and decided to give another gift.
Zhang Xuebing has a lot of stock in his hand, but he has other things to do today, so he immediately said, "It's not simple, you go to the inpatient at noon today to wait for me, and send you two Shanrui turtles, which is a thank you!" ”
Zhao Xianming is not an honest and honest person, and he usually receives gifts when doing things, but he didn't dare to ask Zhang Xuebing's things for nothing, so he waved his hand again and again.
"Don't, don't, how much is the money, I can't take advantage of you!"
Zhang Xuebing laughed slyly, "It's not for nothing, I want to trouble Uncle Zhao to do me a favor......
"Oh, let me help me with something, tell me about it!"
Zhao Xianming's expression became solemn, thinking that you don't need to have that relationship with Wang Xiaomin, can you still use me? He propped his hands on the table and put on a deaf look.
