Chapter 2: Former Lovers
"Uncle Qi, let's have a black rice porridge. ”
"It's Xiao Zheng, sit down, come right away. When Uncle Qi saw Zheng Zheng coming, his brows furrowed slightly, and he quickly laughed again. The seventh uncle's name is Zheng Mingchong, and he is an old man who is close to the sixtieth birthday. Don't look at his age, but his body is great, because he was a soldier in his early years, his waist has always been very straight, although there is some gray hair on his head, but his face is ruddy and full of energy. He has opened a breakfast shop in the town for some years, and the things here are cheap and affordable, and the portions are sufficient, and Zheng Zheng's usual eating problems are solved here.
I just found a place to sit down, because it was just dawn, there were not many people going out, and the guests in the breakfast shop were only two or three cats, which was a little deserted.
Tengjiao Town used to be called Zhengjiabao, and the aborigines here were all surnamed Zheng.
It is said that the ancestors of Zhengjiabao migrated from Xiamen and Fujian during the war hundreds of years ago. If you want to trace a longer history, the ancestral genealogy can even extend to the inland of the Central Plains, and the ancestor is a member of the famous generals under King Wu of Zhou, named Zheng Lun.
That's right, it's the hum of the two generals.
There was a "hum" in the god list, and two yellow gases came out of his nose, catching people and killing the enemy.
Nowadays, Zhengjiabao has poured into many families with foreign surnames, but the surname Zheng is still the number one surname in Tengjiao Town.
Uncle Qi is not Zheng Zheng's direct blood relationship, his father and Zheng Zheng's grandfather are brothers, because he is the seventh in his uncle's generation, so he is called Uncle Qi.
Zheng Zheng's grandfather's generation can be said to be scattered, with a full house of children and grandchildren, there are five aunts alone, two uncles, and an uncle. Nowadays, reform and opening up are full of opportunities. Those who stayed in Tengjiao were also aunts and grandmothers. As for grandpa, he traveled west more than ten years ago.
"Xiao Zheng, come. A steaming bowl of black rice porridge was served, and two more refreshing side dishes were delivered.
Zheng Zheng was not in a very good mood, and his appetite was average, so after eating half a bowl, he put down his chopsticks.
At this time, Uncle Qi came over again, and pulled a stool and sat down.
"I said Xiao Zheng, you are not young anymore, and it is not a way to stay at home. It just so happens that I have an old comrade-in-arms in the county police station, and I heard that they are now recruiting assistant police officers, although it is hard, but they also have an income, why don't I say hello to him, can you try it?"
Although Qibo has an old-fashioned temper, he is also a warm-hearted person. In the past six months, there have been no less than three or four scenes like this, and he also hopes that his nephew will not be idle all day long, and can work hard.
"Uncle Qi, thank you, I'll think about it. Zheng Zheng thought about it and was a little upset, but he didn't refuse as usual, just stared at the dishes and chopsticks in a daze.
As soon as Uncle Qi saw that there was some drama, the buttocks who wanted to move immediately sat down, took out a cigarette from his pocket, and threw one to Zheng Zheng casually, and then swallowed the clouds and spit out the fog, while persuading bitterly: "Xiao Zheng, your parents are also quite old, it is not easy to do a small business outside, and your younger brother is studying in college, although you don't need you to help subsidize the family, but you can't let them worry about it, right? ”
"I know. Zheng Zheng said bitterly, thinking of the troubles, he had quit smoking for two years, and lit the cigarette again.
Zheng Zheng's father, Zheng Mingming, is taciturn and has a simple personality, when he was beekeeping outside in his early years, he fell into a lot of problems, among which chronic gastritis has tormented him for more than 20 years, I don't know how many medicines he has taken, how many doctors he has seen, but he can't raise it well. I often can't sleep in the middle of the night, and I really can't eat some soda crackers to stay up. After so many years, how can my health be any better? My mother's condition is even worse, a few years ago, stomach cancer was detected in the middle stage, and after chemotherapy, the condition has improved, but now who can guarantee that the cancer cells will not metastasize to other places?
Thinking of this time, Zheng Zheng was upset again.
Is it really too selfish? Make money to support your family first, and then come to cultivate immortals after dealing with these things? Or do you seize the time to achieve success in cultivation and then solve these problems once and for all?
After struggling for a long time, Zheng Zheng walked out of the breakfast shop a little depressed, and he didn't know how to get home.
Zheng Zheng lives at the foot of Wu Mountain. There is a clear stream that flows through it all year round. There is an ancient stone pier bridge in the middle, and there is a large banyan tree at the head of the bridge, which is said to be hundreds of years old. Every summer, the foliage is lush and green. The old house is on the other side of the stone pier bridge and the banyan tree, which looks a little dilapidated on the outside, and is a simple floor-to-ceiling house, with a total of three floors. His bedroom is on the third floor, and there is a 21-inch color TV, a computer, and a wooden bed of some age.
Zheng Zheng lay on the wooden bed for a long time, and was finally woken up by a mobile phone ringtone.
"Hey. Lazily picked up the phone, didn't look at who called, and pressed the connect button directly.
"Ah Zheng, what are you doing? Do you have free time in the afternoon? Do you want to go play together?" A hearty voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Applejack, I'm not going, there's something going on in the afternoon. Zheng Zheng refused without thinking about it.
Lin Jie is one of his few good friends. The experience of the intersection of the two can be recalled many years ago.
At that time, the legend was on fire, and there was only one Internet café in town, where they used to play all night. After coming and going, it quickly became familiar. Later, I met a few friends, cut monsters and upgraded together, and teamed up to fight treasures. I also formed a gang and killed people together. That period of time may be the most exciting and enjoyable years for Zheng Zheng.
It's just a game, though.
In this way, Zheng Zheng and Lin Jie formed a deep friendship, and later everyone went their separate ways, and the friendship also faded a little, but as long as they were in the town, they would get together when they had time, drink and sing K. In the past six months after Zheng Zheng went home, if there was anything fun and delicious, Lin Jie would call to inform him. If I put it in normal times, I might think about it, but now I'm upset, so where is I in the mood to play?
"Haha, it's just right if you don't come, don't blame me for not informing you if there is any loss at that time. Lin Jie laughed twice, as if there was something in his words.
"What, what's the special situation?" Zheng Zheng asked with a move in his heart.
"Hey, Long Legs is back. You don't want to meet her. Lin Jie's laughter was a little ****, and even a little schadenfreude.
Zheng Zheng's hand shook, and his expression became a little sluggish.
The long legs that Lin Jie mentioned are actually called Hong Qianxiu. She has a pair of long and tall legs, which are extremely hot and sexy. Coupled with good looks and a cheerful personality, the popularity is quite good. I don't know what kind of shit luck Zheng Zheng had back then, and he got along with her somehow.
Later, Zheng Zheng left Tengjiao to do some small business in other places, hoping to take her to develop together. But Hong Qianxiu refused to leave Wenshi under the obstruction of his family, and the two quarreled many times. Slowly, Zheng Zheng had a pimple in his heart, and the two of them were young and vigorous at that time, and they couldn't let go, so their feelings gradually faded.
I don't know how she's doing now?
