Chapter 52, the military version of the Humvee
Sending Qiao Xiaoqiao to the gym, Bai Lu originally planned to go home, but there was no one for many days, so he had to clean it well.
Halfway through, Bai Lu suddenly remembered that he had bought a cat before going out to play, if he hadn't seen two cat ears sticking to the roof of the car in front of him, he would have forgotten about the cat.
called Tang Tang, Tang Tang was not at home, saying that her husband was at home, just let Bai Lu go and get it directly.
When I arrived at Tang Tang's house, I went upstairs and knocked on the door, and Tang Tang's husband opened the door: "Bai Lu is here, your sister Tang just finished calling me, and she came quite quickly." ”
"I'm nearby." Bai Lu entered the house. "Brother-in-law, you haven't gone to work yet?"
"Ahem, that's how we do engineering." Tang Tang's husband is looking for cats everywhere. "I can't do it in November at the latest, and I won't start until March next year."
After looking for a long time, he finally caught the cat out of the crack in the sofa, Bai Lu looked at the good guy, it has only been a few days, and the cat has actually gained a lot of weight.
"Wait a minute, I'll go get you cat food or something."
"Don't bother, brother-in-law." Bai Lu carried a hat bag. "Don't you have a cat at home, keep it, I'll go back and buy it later."
"It's okay, then I won't be polite to you." The dignified husband smiled and said, "I heard you Sister Tang say that it is not cheap for you to buy this cat food." ”
……
After coming out of Tang Tang's house, Bai Lu went to the pet market again, or the same store, and bought some cat food, snacks, hair cream or something, and a new cat litter box.
When I got home, I opened the cat bag, and the big orange probe named Bean Bao by Bai Lu looked at the environment, and then carefully jumped out of the cat bag, walked along the wall, walked to the position of the sofa, found that there was no gap, and turned around to find a place again.
Bai Lu didn't care about it, first brushed the cat bowl, put cat food and water on it, and then put cat litter in the cat litter box and put it in the bathroom, and when he came out again, he found that the bean bag was already nested on the sofa.
"Hey, you're getting used to it pretty quickly, little thing." Bai Lu sat down and scratched the neck of the bean bag, and the bean bag made a snoring sound.
When he went out, Bai Lu told Zhang Xiao to let him install an air conditioner at home, which would have been installed, and the domestic brand cost less than 10,000 yuan, Zhang Xiao said that this brand and this model are the most cost-effective.
Because the house is new, the windows and doors are well sealed, and the house is not very dirty, just simply sweep and mop the floor, and then wipe the furniture, and throw the change of clothes he and Qiao Xiaoqiao brought out into the washing machine for washing.
Don't look at the lack of work, it's almost six o'clock after finishing this little work, and I was about to call Qiao Xiaoqiao, the door opened, and Qiao Xiaoqiao came back.
"I'm talking about calling you." Bai Lu said with a smile. "Why did you come back so early today?"
"I'm tired, so I'll come back early." Qiao Xiaoqiao was about to ask Bai Lu what he wanted to eat, when he saw the bean buns that were awakened by the sound of the door opening, jumped from the sofa to the ground, and panicked to find a place to hide the bean bags.
"Ah, what a fat cat." Qiao Xiaoqiao ran over in two steps, picked up the bean bag that had nowhere to hide and turned it upside down, looked at the bean bag stiffly staring with big eyes, and sucked on its head: "You went to buy it in the afternoon?" ”
"I bought it before I left, and let Sister Tang, my former colleague take care of it, and I will pick it up today."
"It's so cute!" Qiao Xiaoqiao had no resistance to this chubby and fluffy creature, and walked around the living room like a child with a bean bag: "Why is it so well-behaved?" Did you name it? ”
"Bean buns."
"What's that name?" Qiao Xiaoqiao was very unhappy with the name.
"Then you get one for it."
"Then it's called ......," Qiao Xiaoqiao thought for a long time. Forget it, I can't think of any good names, just bean buns. ”
"What are you going to eat for the night?" Bai Lu asked. "Why don't we go out and eat."
Qiao Xiaoqiao was about to speak, someone rang the doorbell, Bai Lu wondered who it was, went to open the door, and there was a man and a woman standing outside the door, who looked to be in their thirties.
"Hello, we live next door." Man introduced. "I just moved here two days ago, and I haven't seen anyone here, so I thought no one lived there."
"I went out for a while, and I just came back." Bai Lu let the couple into the house. "What do you call it?"
"Zhang Leping, this is my daughter-in-law Liang Juan."
Bai Lu also introduced himself, and listened to Zhang Leping say: "There's nothing else, it's just that I see people back, come and say hello, they are all neighbors from now on, and they will talk if they have something." ”
Bai Lu nodded hurriedly, now this year is not as good as in the past. In the past, neighbors and neighbors were friends for decades, so there was really something to shout, whoever was free would come to help, and the real distant relatives were not as good as close neighbors.
With the development of the city, demolition and relocation, the old neighbors for decades are scattered all over the city, and the new neighbors almost don't look up or look down, and even live for more than ten years without necessarily saying a few words.
Therefore, this kind of neighbor who takes the initiative to visit, Bai Lu still likes it very much.
"You haven't eaten yet, have you?" Zhang Leping asked.
"yes, I just came back today, I cleaned up all afternoon, and I'm not planning to go out for a bite to eat."
"Well, don't run away, if you don't dislike it, go to my house to eat." Zhang Leping warmly invited. "Really, my daughter-in-law's skills are not bad, isn't this cooking, I heard that there was movement on your side, so I came to take a look."
"Don't don't don't Brother Zhang, it's so troublesome." Bai Lu hurriedly refused.
"What's the trouble with this?" Zhang Leping got up and said, "Let's go, neighbors, there is no trouble." ”
The enthusiasm was a little bit so that Bai Lu couldn't refuse, and after thinking about it, Bai Lu said: "That's okay, it's troublesome Brother Zhang and sister-in-law, Brother Zhang, do you drink?" Drink, okay, I'll bring a bottle of wine. ”
When he went to the kitchen to get the wine, Bai Lu remembered that he had also bought a thermostatic wine cabinet online, opened his mobile phone and looked at it, it had arrived, but he needed to pick it up, it was too late today, let's talk about it tomorrow.
followed Zhang Leping to his house, the layout and area of Zhang Leping's house are the same as those of Bailu, but the decoration is more luxurious.
"Sister-in-law, I'll help you." Qiao Xiaoqiao rolled up her sleeves and followed Liang Juan into the kitchen, while Zhang Leping found tea from under the TV cabinet.
"What do you drink?" Zhang Leping stacked the tea leaves in a row on the coffee table and asked Bai Lu's opinion.
"Anything, I can't drink good or bad." Bai Lu really doesn't know anything about tea, if he has to drink anything, then he prefers to drink flower tea, the kind with lemon slices and rock sugar in it.
"Okay, then I'll soak it as you like, and you can drink it as you like." Zhang Leping said with a smile.
The two were drinking tea in the living room, and Bai Lu asked, "Brother Zhang, did you decorate this house by yourself?" ”
"Ready-made." Zhang Leping said. "My daughter-in-law and I have been living at my parents' house not long after we came back, and we moved in without buying a house."
"Me too." Bai Lu nodded. "I liked the decoration very much, so I bought it directly."
"That's right." Zhang Leping said. "Now that the pace of life is fast, how can I have time to toss these, or how to say that second-hand houses are better to sell than new ones...... By the way, can you ask what you do? I got married at such a young age. ”
"I'm a vagrant." Bai Lu laughed at himself. "I'm not married yet, I'm engaged, my girlfriend runs her own gym, it's not far from us, Brother Zhang has time to go over and have fun, I'll get you a card when I go back."
"Okay, I'll take a look when I have time." Zhang Leping took a sip of tea and patted his stomach: "I have to exercise when I have time, this man is over thirty years old, and he has begun to develop horizontally with the naked eye, I have six-pack abs when I was in college, otherwise your sister-in-law can't follow me, now it's good, it's a piece, it's quite united." ”
"What does Brother Zhang do for business?" Bai Lu asked.
"I'm a car dealer." Zhang Leping said with a smile. "Just kidding, but it's not a joke, I'll sell cars, Huaxin Road opened an imported car for sale, and I plan to buy a car to come to me."
"Not to mention, I'm really planning to buy a car." Bai Lu snorted. "I'm planning to play off-road recently, Brother Zhang, what is suitable for you?"
"There are a lot of off-road cars, and I also play, mainly to see the later modification." When Zhang Leping heard that he was a fellow practitioner, his interest was even higher. "What do you think your budget is, and where is the psychological price?"
"The budget is casual, there is no upper limit."
"Yo, the rich second generation?" Zhang Leping was slightly surprised. "If you want to say that the off-road is the best, I feel that it is a Humvee, the military version, that is very good, but this car can't be bought, and the civilian version can be changed."
"A military version of the Humvee? Wait for me to ask. Bai Lu thought about it, took his mobile phone to send a message to White, waited for a long time and didn't reply, look at the time, Los Angeles will only be about seven o'clock in the morning, just a phone call over, go to bed early and get up early.
It took a long time for the phone to ring, and White's muffled voice came from inside.
"Hey, sober up, I'll ask you something." Bai Lu was also unambiguous and asked straight to the point. "Can you get a military version of the Humvee?"
"Who? White? White was confused for a long time before he came to his senses. No way? It's not even seven o'clock, and I'm almost four o'clock to sleep...... Don't make a fuss and keep sleeping. ”
The last sentence was not said to Bai Lu, and Bai Lu also heard the sound of a woman humming and chirping on the other side.
"A military version of the Humvee?" White seemed to be out of bed, and the background sounded empty. "What do you want this for?"
"Off-road, you can say if you can get it."
"Just kidding, what else can't I get? Do you want a fighter jet? I can get you that, too. "White is very unhappy with Bai Lu's doubts about his ability." A military version of the Humvee, right? Do you want to bring a machine gun? ”
"What do I want that thing for? Don't, don't. Bai Lu hurriedly dispelled White's brainless thoughts. Don't say anything else, but whenever he says "um", this thing really dares to get him a top-of-the-line version with a machine gun, but that thing can't get it in China.
"Okay, I'll do it for you in one day." White swore his promises. "Seriously, Shiro, when are you coming to play with me? I'll take you to a few models. ”
Since he knew this product, he has always wanted to take himself to find a model, and in his life, it seems that the model is the best companion.
Bai Lu didn't talk nonsense with him, and hung up the phone directly: "Brother Zhang, I just asked a foreign friend that he can get a military version of the Humvee." ”
"Really?" Zhang Leping's English has long been returned to the teacher, just now listening to Bai Lu's call, the first reaction was "Wow, Ingrid", although he couldn't hear what to say, but he heard Hummer's English, and it was limited to this. Unexpectedly, Bai Lu made a phone call, and then told him that he could get a military version of the Humvee.
"It should be true." Bai Lu still believes in White, of course, he can only believe in his face, there are some things, but he still can't hope too much for him.
"Tsk, you're really wild in this way." Zhang Leping sighed and asked. "How much?"
"I didn't say it, but it shouldn't be much more expensive if I get it back."
"It's good, it's good." Zhang Leping said. "If you can get it, you can call me directly when you get it, and I'll have a modification factory."
"You still have a tuning shop?"
Zhang Leping said: "Yes, I sell imported cars, although our car culture here is not as good as the beautiful country and small days, but in recent years, modification has been allowed, this business is also very good, my site is quite large, so I got a modification factory." ”
"That's great." Bai Lu slapped his thigh. "I'm saying I don't understand this either."
Chatting, the meal over there was also ready, ordinary home-cooked food, and Bai Lu also took the red wine.
"It's not cheap, is it?" Zhang Leping took the wine bottle and looked around, and found that he didn't know any of the words on it, but he drank less red wine, but when he looked at the effect of hanging the wine on the wall, he knew that it was not cheap.
"It's okay, I bought it from an acquaintance." Bai Lu didn't say the price, mainly because he pretended to be suspicious when he said it, and the wine, isn't it just for drinking? Dozens of dollars, hundreds of dollars, tens of thousands of dollars are just the difference in price, if you want to buy it back and don't drink it, then what do you do with it?
The four of them didn't have enough wine to drink, so Bai Lu went back to get a bottle again, and saw that he had to make up for some goods when he found time, this wine was really good to drink.
……
Seeing Bai Lu and Qiao Xiaoqiao away, Liang Juan asked while cleaning up: "Listen to what you mean, this little couple is quite rich?" ”
"Well, it should be." Zhang Leping said. "It's good, both of them have good personalities, I was worried about what if my neighbor's personality was not good and I couldn't get along, but I was afraid that my neighbor would do this and that all day long, but now I look good."
Liang Juan smiled and said, "Young people don't have so many things...... But it's really delicious to drink this red wine today, what brand? ”
"I don't know, you like to drink?"
"Well, the taste is very good, and you can see that I drank a lot of it today, and I don't like it at all." Liang Juan said. "Isn't that an empty bottle at the door, you take your mobile phone and scan it to see what brand it is, let's buy some too, and you will drink less white wine and more red wine in the future."
Zhang Leping went to the door to get a wine bottle, scanned it with his mobile phone, and jumped out of the result that scared Zhang Leping.
"Why are you still in a daze?" Liang Juan saw that Zhang Leping didn't respond for a long time, so she held her mobile phone and wine bottle and opened her mouth there, and asked strangely.
"Daughter-in-law, let's change to a different drink." Zhang Leping grinned and handed his mobile phone to Liang Juan to see: "What kind of wine is this Margaux Manor, this bottle is 110,000!" ”
"How much?" Liang Juan was also startled, grabbed her mobile phone and looked at it, and then took the wine bottle and compared it with the pictures on her mobile phone. "In other words, this night, we drank more than 200,000 wines?"
This bar, Zhang Leping can't afford to buy it, and he has an income of 1.8 million yuan a year, which is a high-income group compared with ordinary office workers, but he is reluctant to let him take out 200,000 yuan to buy two bottles of red wine to drink.
This neighbor is not an ordinary person, he drank 200,000 red wine when he said he would, and listen to what he meant, what other red wine does he have?
Tsk, today's young people are amazing, this is really a rich second generation.
"Lao Zhang, look at this trouble." Liang Juan said. "Go back and buy a bottle, let's call Bai Lu and Xiao Qiao to have a meal again, I don't know, I drank 200,000 yuan of wine at once."
Zhang Leping snorted: "Didn't you say it was delicious, and Bai Lu went back to get a bottle again." ”
"Raise the bar with me, won't you?" Liang Juan was ready to fight.
……
Bai Lu and Qiao Xiaoqiao went home, both of them were quite tired, and Bai Lu didn't mention playing any bedtime games, after all, his body knew that he was afraid of dying in bed.
The next day, Bai Lu got up late rarely, it was more than nine o'clock when he woke up, Qiao Xiaoqiao had already left, and he left breakfast on the table in the restaurant, two boiled eggs and oatmeal, and took it to the microwave to heat it up, and breakfast was settled.
packed up and dressed and went out, seeing that the wine cabinet was sent to the pickup point, Bai Lu couldn't help but complain again, the address has been written, you will send it to the pickup point for me? So what do I do when I buy express delivery?
As soon as he got into the elevator, White's phone called, saying that the car had been helped him get it, and when he called, he had just loaded the ship at the port, Bai Lu asked how much it was, and White generously said that there was not much money, and he sent it.
White didn't talk nonsense at this point, it was true that there was not much money, but after returning to China, the tariffs plus it would be expensive, but it was nothing to Bai Lu, mainly because this car was really bad.
I went to get the wine cabinet first, and when I went home, I wasted the instruction manual for a long time to install, and it was noon after the toss, so I ordered takeout directly, and rested for a while after eating, and then went to the gym.
"Hall Master Li is not busy." Bai Lu entered the door and found Li Yufei running on the treadmill in yoga pants and sportswear.
"Yo, the proprietress is here?" Li Yufei pressed the pause and looked at Bai Lu and joked. "Can't you see you for a long time? Is this here to inspect the work or to inspect the post? ”
"I'll see if you, the second boss, are lazy, you see, let me catch it." Bai Lu also teased her. "Deduct your wages."
"You capitalist!"
"There aren't many people today?"
"Normal." Li Yufei said. "Those who should go to work after the New Year and those who should go to school are making up their homework at home."
"Where's Little Joe? What about the office? Bai Lu asked.
"She didn't tell you?" Li Yufei blinked. "Shall I tell you, then?"
"What's wrong?"
"Her mother went out in the morning and let the motorcycle be scraped, I heard that it was a broken arm, hospitalized, she went in the morning, I didn't tell you that I was afraid that you would worry, it shouldn't be a big deal."
Bai Lu turned around and left, and Li Yufei hurriedly shouted behind him: "Don't be in a hurry, it's not a big deal, drive slowly." ”
After leaving the gym, Bai Lu remembered that he forgot to ask which hospital it was, and called Li Yufei again, only to know that he was in the Orthopedic Hospital of the Third Hospital of the city.
When I arrived at the hospital, I went straight to the inpatient department, asked at the nurse's desk, and the person was in ward seven.
The ward was a triple room, and when Bai Lu entered, Qiao Xiaoqiao was sitting on the edge of the bed peeling apples for her mother, and she didn't see Qiao's father.
Seeing Bai Lu coming, Qiao Xiaoqiao was stunned for a moment: "Why are you here?" ”
"What do you say?" White Road. "Auntie, you won't tell me when you're hospitalized."
"Bai Lu is here." Li Huizhen leaned on the head of the bed and explained to Qiao Xiaoqiao. "It's not a big deal, it's just a fall, this person is old, lacks calcium, and broke a bone after a slight fall, and this is done without surgery."
"Didn't you say that the motorcycle was scratched? What about people? ”
"A child who gives away the sale." Li Huizhen said. "The boy was frightened and pitiful, so I let him go."
Well, what else can I say?
"Where's my uncle?" Bai Lu asked.
"I went home to buy groceries and cook." Li Huizhen said with a smile. "He's not going to help that here."
Bai Lu looked around, the other two beds were occupied, and the family members were also there, and the originally small ward was even more crowded after he came in: "I'll ask if there is a single ward." ”
"No, no, no." Li Huizhen hurriedly stopped him. "What kind of single ward to live in, it's good, you don't need to be accompanied at night, just let Xiao Qiao go home and sleep, her father is here during the day."
"Okay then." Bai Lu looked at the bedside table, and there was fruit on it. "Then I'll go buy something to eat and drink."
"You don't have to buy it." Li Huizhen said. "I can't eat anything else, just eat normally, if you have something, you hurry up, I told Xiao Qiao that it's okay, she has to accompany her."
Bai Lu nodded, it was useless to accompany him here, so he said hello to Qiao Xiaoqiao and left.
When he passed the nurses' station, Bai Lu turned back and said to the nurse on duty at the nurses' station, "Do you have a professional escort here?" It's a nurse or a doctor in a hospital, not an outsider. ”
The nurse shook her head and said, "No, this is usually found by the family members themselves from outside." ”
"You can have this."
"I really don't have that."
"A thousand a day, can you have one?"
The nurse was stunned for a moment, and then said, "I get off work at 6 o'clock in the evening, and I will rest tomorrow and the day after tomorrow, so I will accompany the nurse at night, right?" ”
"Yes, at night, ward seven, three-bed Li Huizhen."
"Then I'll come!" The nurse said immediately. "If I want to go to work, I'll find you another colleague, can you see it?"
"Transfer."
Bai Lu transferred 3,000 yuan to the little nurse, asked about the medical expenses again, and heard that there were 5,000 yuan in the deposit, so he paid another 15,000 to go in, and told him to use the best medicine, it doesn't matter if he is reimbursed or not, he wants the best.
Looking at Bai Lu's back when he walked into the elevator, and then looked at the three thousand yuan in the account, the little nurse suddenly felt a little regretful.
is so handsome, so rich and sensible, how can he have a girlfriend? She has seen the daughter of a three-bed patient in room 7, and she is not prettier than herself...... I took out the mirror from the drawer and looked at it, I really didn't look much prettier than myself, how could I be so lucky? What a pity.
