Chapter 14: I Have a Plan
The afternoon sun is exceptionally hot.
Hot and dry air permeated the small courtyard.
Entrusted by Li Guanchao, John, who came here, unbuttoned the two buttons on his shirt, revealing his sexy chest hair, and asked, "Is it delicious?"
On the old wooden table is three dishes and one soup, all from the small plate restaurant in the blue brick alley, the price is not expensive, the taste is extremely authentic, but the geographical location is not good, close to the public toilet, but this still can't stand the enthusiasm of the diners, judging from the degree of his family's daily open-air table full, it may taste more fragrant.
Coco, who was sitting across from John, didn't know all this, she took a chopstick and stir-fried lung slices, chewed crispy in her mouth, and replied, "Fragrant." ”
John smiled and took a bite of food: "How old are you?"
Coco: "Thirteen. ”
"Oh, that's junior high school. ”
Coco didn't have a stubble, I don't know if the food was too fragrant, or I didn't want to hang out with John.
John asked again, "How tall are you?"
“155。 ”
"Not short, not short. ”
Coco didn't take a stubble, lowered her head and continued to eat.
John felt a hint of embarrassment, and then he couldn't ask the little girl's measurements, so he was silent.
It took the two fifteen minutes to fill their stomachs unhurriedly and slowly, and John looked at his watch: "It's past twelve o'clock, why haven't you come back?"
Keke still didn't speak, and walked to the refrigerator in Li Guanchao's room with two plates of leftovers that could still be eaten next meal, leaving John with a back that seemed weak, but very cold.
"This kid..."
John sat on the rattan chair where Li Guanchao was basking in the sun, picked up the pu fan used by Li Guanchao at hand, and began to fan his chest hair.
Coco covered the leftovers with plastic wrap and put them in the refrigerator, and when she came out, she happened to see the futon on the shoe rack at the door, she thought about it, picked up the futon, walked back to the yard, and found a shady place to sit down.
With his fan swaying and his chest hair swaying slightly, John looked sideways at Coco and asked, "Coco, what are you?"
Coco replied with the principle of politeness, "Meditate." ”
"What for?"
"Meditation. ”
"How old are you, what can you worry about?"
Coco didn't answer this question, it involves personal privacy... So the calves are crossed, the mouth is slightly open, and the breathing is about to begin.
John scratched his head, realizing as if he had asked a question he shouldn't have asked, so he stood up and walked over to Coco and crouched down.
"You teach your uncle, and your uncle wants to be quiet. ”
Coco hadn't settled down yet, opened her eyes and looked at the old face close at hand, and found that it was quite sincere.
Of course, sincerely, John has been anxious about getting married recently, or his miser character will definitely send Coco a meal and return to the store to make money.
And the reason why he came here today to stay and the shop was handed over to the apprentice was because he was troubled, he was afraid that he would cut his hair in the afternoon, and it would be bad if he was emotionally unstable and made any bloody cases.
"Okay, but there's just one futon. ”
John slapped his buttocks, bared his chest hair, and sat down: "It's okay, my young man has a lot of firepower." ”
Coco looked at his face, what an old young man.
"Okay, then raise your legs first. ”
"Hmm. ”
His mouth opened slightly. ”
"Good. ”
"Calm your mind, hold your breath, and have no distractions. ”
“OK。 ”
"Quiet, breathe. ”
......
......
Outside the courtyard, the old locust trees are leafy, and birds are chirping among the branches.
An old dog next door ran over like a happy man, barked twice fiercely, and then began to run after the frightened bird.
The chirping of cicadas in the alley is steady and loud, and the occasional gossip of the eldest girl and the little daughter-in-law does not sound gossipy, and it is full of life in this environment.
Coco ended the day's meditation with a sense of comfort that had never been felt before.
It's just that unlike yesterday, when she meditated thoughtlessly, today she seems to have a dream, in which a warm ocean current slowly and struggles to wash away the branches of the river that have been dry for a long time.
She didn't know that this warm current came from Li Guanchao, and she didn't know that she was practicing, and of course she didn't think too much, so after waking up, Coco looked at her watch and found that it was already three o'clock in the afternoon, and she couldn't help but think that it seemed that she couldn't buy cats and dogs today.
Coco really likes critters, so it's a little frustrating to think about it.
But the frustration didn't spread when it was interrupted by the sound of snoring, and Coco looked around him to see that Uncle John had slept in a big shape.
The unbuttoned buttons of his shirt made his chest hair sway in the wind, and he was still drooling with his face sideways, and in front of his face was a lump of bird poop that had fallen at some point, which seemed to be very fragrant, so he was still drooling.
Coco was a little worried, but didn't bother him, and was struggling with whether to wake him up, otherwise he might accidentally get his old face stuffed on bird poop when the door of the compound was pushed open.
Li Guanchao and Su Jie walked into it, and naturally saw John lying on the stone slab in large characters, and his chest was open.
Li Guanchao naturally shouted: "What are you doing, playing hooligan?"
This voice startled the sleeping John, so he slapped his old face on the bird poop in a daze.
Coco frowned, and as soon as John opened it, he felt a slimy face and said, "Something." ”
So, Li Guanchao and Su Jie stood still, watched John wipe a handful of things that said yellow is not yellow and green is not green, and shouted in surprise: "!"
Li Guanchao couldn't hold back a smile, but as a good friend, he had to be reminded at this time.
So he said, "It doesn't have to be, you taste it." ”
......
I found a broken basin and took a basin of water.
John washed off the with his hands and face, then changed the water three more times, and finally wiped it repeatedly with wet wipes, and had to say: "Bad luck!"
After all, Su Jie is a little witch, and immediately said: "What kind of bad luck is this, bird is called gold according to the older generation, John, you are going to send it." ”
John seemed to remember this as well, and he was in a good mood.
Li Guanchao said: "This statement actually mainly reflects a positive and optimistic attitude, and you should not take it too seriously. ”
John waved his hand: "As far as you know, you know, gone, the store is not at ease." ”
As he spoke, he stood up and waved his hand, and strode out of the courtyard.
When the door closed, Li Guanchao looked at the futon in the courtyard and asked, "Are you meditating?"
Coco nodded, "Yes." ”
Li Guanchao smiled: "It's good." ”
Su Jie asked, "What are you meditating for, what's the use?"
Coco just thought back: "Meditation." Li Guanchao took the lead: "Beauty and beauty." ”
Su Jie's eyes lit up: "Really?"
"Try?"
"Try it, try it. ”
So Su Jie sat down under the guidance of Li Guanchao, showing an extremely amazing talent, and she stood up in less than a minute: "No, I can't be quiet, my parents are still upstairs, I'll leave if I talk to you about something." ”
Hearing this, Coco walked back to her room.
Li Guanchao sat next to Su Jie and asked, "What's wrong?"
Su Jie asked: "You have a deep friendship with John, what happened to his marriage, I feel that something is wrong with him recently." ”
Li Guanchao: "You only handed over ......"
"Get down to business. ”
"No, it's just that the daughter-in-law was picked up by her mother's family, and the originally negotiated gift money was not counted, and the lion opened his mouth to ask for 200,000. ”
"That's not all?"
Li Guanchao: "What a big deal." ”
"He doesn't know that you have money and won't talk to you, he knows I have money, but he won't talk to me. ”
"What do you mean. ”
Su Jie said: "The boss is not small, and he finally got a satisfactory one, so we can't help him as friends?"
Li Guanchao nodded: "That's right, but you listen to me about this matter, take a moment." ”
"Why?"
Li Guanchao said: "This woman's heart can't run away from John, isn't this taken back by her mother's family, doesn't she know how much John has, it must be difficult to ask for 200,000, don't care about her crying, making trouble and hanging herself, as long as she shows the attitude of marrying John, I will do this for John." ”
"But if this woman doesn't have this attitude, knowing that John can't take so much, she will definitely go out to borrow it, and collude with her own family to force it, I think it's good if you don't get married. ”
When Su Jie heard this, she looked at Li Guanchao and said, "I always feel that you seem to be a lot bigger than me, and what you said makes sense." ”
Li Guanchao smiled and was about to continue talking, but his ears moved slightly, and he looked at the courtyard wall not far away.
Su Jie, who heard the voice, also looked over, and saw a person with long hair rolled out felt, unkempt like a beggar appeared on the eaves, and before he could come up, he said: "I have a plan, but I can have the best of both worlds!"
Su Jie felt a little familiar when she heard this, but this person... What the hell is it?
Li Guanchao heard a slight hint of Northeast flavor in his accent, thought about it for a while, and said with a smile: "Your Excellency is the Northeast Phoenix Chick - very smart?"
The man stepped up at this time, and one stepped across the eaves of the wall, and the crotch of the card owner looked at Li Guanchao with deep eyes.
"Guanchao, I want to kill you!"
"Get out. ”
