February 5, 1989, Chinese New Year's Eve.

In recent years, most of the citizens of Hong Kong Island have come from the mainland decades ago, and they have hardly been Westernized, so they still attach great importance to the Spring Festival.

Today, the whole of Hong Kong Island is enveloped in a festive atmosphere, and the streets and alleys are filled with a lively and festive atmosphere, and people celebrate this important occasion in a variety of ways, whether it is a bustling shopping street or a quiet residential area.

At noon, Zheng Jirong, dressed in a nightgown, sat on a recliner in the courtyard and read the newspaper leisurely, holding a cigar in his hand, and a cup of strong tea that Ruan Mei had just brewed on the table next to him.

It has to be mentioned that Hong Kong Island people really love to read newspapers, and in such a small city, there are dozens of large and small newspaper companies, not to mention those gossip weeklies, it can be said that the daily reading rate of Hong Kong Island citizens is worthy of the name of Asia's first.

Even in the community, there are a large number of old boys who read the newspaper every day, of course, they basically read "Ma Bao" and some salty and wet magazines.

After watching the serialized martial arts, Zheng Jirong was about to put down the newspaper and go back to the house, when the phone on the table rang.

"Hey."

"Ann, don't worry, if you're not here, I won't even have a drinker tonight."

"It's okay, I told Amei, and she wants to meet you too."

The call was from Ling Lingqi, this guy is the same as him, his parents don't know who they are, he was adopted by the organization at a young age, and only Zheng Jirong can be called a relative.

Therefore, two days ago, Zheng Jirong went to the vegetable market to find him, and after all the warblers and Yanyan who were selling meat around him dispersed, Zheng Jirong invited him to come to the house for dinner on Chinese New Year's Eve, and this guy began to agree very happily, and said that he would bring fresh pork liver to make soup for his younger siblings, but he was really shy when he came.

Dropping the phone, Zheng Jirong walked into the living room, Ruan Mei in the kitchen was preparing the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, although she told her that not many people would come to eat tonight, but this girl still got up before dawn, I don't know what to do in it.

Looking at her graceful back when chopping vegetables, Zheng Jirong turned around and secretly glanced at his grandmother who was drying sausages in the yard, and after finding that she hadn't noticed this, he quietly walked behind Ruan Mei.

After feeling a pair of strong arms hugging her from behind, Ruan Mei asked without looking back, "Did you tell Senior Brother about it, when will he come over for dinner?" ”

"It should take a while to come", Zheng Jirong put his chin on her shoulder, squinted lazily and said: "Although my senior brother is usually unkempt, he is still very delicate when he goes out, and it is estimated that he is picking out what color tie to wear." ”

Ruan Mei asked curiously while holding the white radish used to stew mutton on the cutting board, "Why have I never heard you mention that there is such a senior brother before, did you just recognize it recently?" ”

"Can Senior Brother have what he just recognized?"

Zheng Jirong explained: "I learned kung fu with him in a martial arts gym when I was a child, and he taught me the craft of slaughtering pigs and chopping meat. ”

"Huh?!"

Ruan Mei was annoyed: "Then you didn't tell me earlier, I don't know what Senior Brother likes to eat, what if he comes over and finds that the food is not to taste?" ”

Zheng Jirong soothed: "Don't worry about it, my senior brother has come from a hard life like us, so there is no food that is unpalatable." ”

"Then he must have the same amount of food as you, no, I'll prepare a few more dishes."

Seeing Ruan Mei's anxious look, Zheng Jirong still wanted to help her, but as soon as she picked up the shovel, she pushed her out, and said that this is not a man's job.

Tut-tut, it's really a blessing to marry a traditional girl these days.

Just when he was still sighing, two acquaintances had already walked into the courtyard from outside the gate, and after seeing Zheng Jirong in a daze on the sofa, the two shouted happily: "Brother Rong! We're here to greet you! ”

Zheng Jirong turned his head and saw that it was Ah Fei Aki, the two guys, and I don't know what these two people think, Chinese New Year's Eve did not stay at home with his family, and he came here wearing flowers and greenery.

After the two of them came to the front, Zheng Jirong raised his eyebrows and asked them, "Are you two mistaken, tomorrow is only the first day of the new year, this year is early, right?" ”

"No, no", the two shook their heads and smiled: "We will go back to Shenzhen tomorrow, and we won't have time to come to Brother Rong's house by then, so we will come to visit you in advance today." ”

Ah Fei and Aki's parents both went back to Shenzhen to do some small business in the early years, and they haven't returned to Hong Kong Island for a long time, so it's not an exaggeration for the two of them to say that they depend on each other on Hong Kong Island.

"Really? Then you really have a heart, come and sit. ”

After Zheng Jirong arranged for the two of them to sit down, he continued: "I asked Ah Miao to bring you the red envelope to receive it, nine thousand nine hundred and ninety-nine yuan per person, which is big enough." ”

"Roger!" The two thanked in unison: "Actually, it's embarrassing, we haven't done anything for Brother Rong for a month, and you still pay us wages and red envelopes on time." ”

"Yes, Brother Rong, you give too much, we can't spend it all, we can't spend it at all."

Zheng Jirong shook his head and chuckled when he heard this, and near the end of the year, he wrapped a red envelope for each of his henchmen.

In fact, it is sometimes very difficult to be the boss of Hi society, not only to be inviolable and rule with an iron fist, so that his subordinates do not dare to betray easily, but sometimes they also need to be approachable and empathetic, so that the younger brothers feel that their boss is humane and can follow the big brother for a lifetime.

After secretly sighing, he asked the two casually: "Speaking of which, why don't you go back to Shenzhen now, you have to go back tomorrow, tomorrow is the first day of the new year." ”

"We can't afford to buy a ticket to go back." Ah Fei replied with a smile.

"Damn, why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Zheng Jirong thought that these two guys were borrowing a boat with him to go back, and immediately prepared to make a phone call to Ah Yi to ask him to arrange, whether it is Tsim Sha Tsui or Kwun Tong, there is a fleet of their Huasheng Company, these ships are usually used to transport goods for logistics companies, but sometimes they also do the dirty work of smuggling and smuggling.

It's no problem to arrange a boat to send these two back to Shenzhen for the New Year.

Seeing that Zheng Jirong picked up the microphone at the table, the two hurriedly waved their hands and said, "No need, Brother Rong, we have already bought a ticket to go back tomorrow, and it doesn't matter if you don't go back tonight." ”

"Yes, boss, we're already going back to our hometown tomorrow."

Seeing the embarrassed expressions on the faces of these two people, Zheng Jirong frowned and asked, "Look at how you look like you deliberately didn't go back for the New Year." ”

"Amount"

The two brothers touched their heads and said embarrassedly: "Actually, it's not bad to say that, in the past, every year when we went back, we would be asked by our family how much money we earned, and I didn't want to go back after hearing too much." ”

"If that's the reason, then you should go back this year."

Zheng Jirong said to them: "This year, I have given you millions of bonuses and subsidies, and I have specially given you a position in the group to sit in the office and blow air conditioning. ”

He got up and patted the two of them on the shoulder, for these two people, Zheng Jirong has always been very concerned.

"It's not Brother Rong", Ah Fei shook his head and smiled awkwardly: "Actually, we used to send a lot of money back every month, and my parents and brothers all knew that I was rich, and then they never asked me how much money I made again." ”

"Isn't this very good", Zheng Jirong was puzzled.

"Yes, but now they are urging me to get married, and they told me not to mess around with Aki every day, saying that this kid has the same sexual orientation and name, and told me to be careful."

“.”

After hearing this, Zheng Jirong looked at Aki speechlessly, "What about you?" Is it also because you are urged to marry that you don't want to go home for the New Year? ”

"That's right", Aki nodded and muttered: "My old bean also asked me not to mess with Ah Fei, and said that I would go back on a blind date, so after we sent money to the family, we didn't plan to go back." ”

After Zheng Jirong heard what the two said, he couldn't help but sigh with emotion, but he didn't expect that the society would also be urged to marry.

After looking at Ah Fei Aki, who was looking at him expectantly on the left and right, he smiled, put his arms around the necks of the two of them and said, "Okay, you can stay at my house for dinner tonight." ”

"Yes!" Both of them clenched their fists in surprise when they heard this.

They originally planned to make a side stove at home tonight, but after receiving the red envelope from Zheng Jirong, the two of them thought about coming to Brother Rong's house for dinner.

Since the thirteenth sister and the twelfth young man joined and Liansheng came to an end, this Yue Zheng Jirong has never come to them, which made them overjoyed when they originally thought that they would continue to go undercover, thinking that Brother Rong was going to accept them this time, and would not use the two brothers as undercover agents anymore.

Unexpectedly, more than a month has passed, and Brother Rong still hasn't come to contact them, and he didn't even call them for the handover ceremony with Liansheng, which made them panic.

You won't be abandoned by the boss, right?!

At that moment, they suddenly missed the feeling of sneaking back on, and it was really uncomfortable to feel without the boss, even if it was the boss of other gangs!

So the two did not hesitate, turned their heads and went to Zheng Jirong's house, and while rubbing the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, they asked Brother Rong to randomly designate a big brother for them by the way.

"But don't think about just eating and not working", Zheng Jirong agreed to the two of them, and then said to Aki: "Didn't you kid learn the craft of making braised cooking from your old bean, it just so happened that Amei couldn't cook alone, so you went to the kitchen to help your sister-in-law cook." ”

"Huh? But I can only make stew. ”

"There's always a chopping of vegetables, right?"

"Well, I'll give it a try."

“.”
