In the next few days, there was a heavy snowfall in the city of Y. Ruixue reflected the good years, and wrapped the silver decoration of this southern city that had not snowed in many years. The streets and alleys are stained with the noisy atmosphere of the festival, and every household is also preparing for the New Year. Although for modern people, they may not be completely clear about the origin of the Spring Festival and many customs, and they think more about the company after the New Year. The school will be off for a few days, but this still cannot change the Spring Festival is a beautiful festival that is destined to be a family reunion, together to watch everything goes well in the coming year.

Xiao Nanzhu's arrangements for this year's New Year, Situ Zhang of course also has plans to ask him to go to his own house for the New Year. He mentioned this to Xiao Nanzhu early on, but Xiao Nanzhu himself is not a teenager and completely ignorant. Boy, he naturally understands that it is not appropriate to go to other people's houses during the Chinese New Year. Even though that was his old neighbor for more than ten years, even if Situ Zhang was such a good friend of him, Xiao Nanzhu decisively refused under the threat of being scolded by Situ Zhang, and in this way, he naturally became this The most idle and most idle person in the Spring Festival.

Li Mao and the others went out to have two meals with him alone. They called friends and friends at the wine table, so they were mysterious, and there were a lot of hidden customers in his mobile phone address book for a while.

These people are distributed in all walks of life, some are in their own business, and some work in government departments. Li Mao and Cao Fatty, who is an insurance company, both want to bring Xiao Nanzhu into their circle, so they are very enthusiastic to give Xiao Nanzhu drew people around. After all, after the last meeting, Xiao Nanzhu also gave each of them a little bit of sweetness symbolically, a advice to make money, and a warning of disaster, which made both of them gain something. Xiao Nanzhu's ability became more and more convinced.

Now these seemingly inadvertent drinking rounds are the means for the two of them to show their favor to Xiao Nanzhu. After all, no matter how good a gift of tobacco and alcohol is, it cannot be worth such a relationship. If you want to gain long-term benefits, you must first become real friends. The common point among the messy people seen at the wine table is that they are all middle-aged men between the ages of 30 and 50, who are in a period of conflict in career, family and marriage. Such people tend to There are some superstitions, and even if they are really desperate, they don’t mind trying to find some special ways to solve their difficulties, and they are generous and don’t remember the consequences. For Xiao Nanzhu, who obviously has a vulgar desire for money and wealth, it is natural. It could not be better.

"Okay, Lao Cao, see you in the evening, it's still the same place, right? Oh, Lao Zhao won't come? What? A car accident on the long road? Hospital? Let's take a look at the flower basket..."

Holding the cigarette in his hand tightly, Xiao Nanzhu was standing in the living room and talking to Fatty Cao on the other side. Perhaps he had expected that Zhao Tiansheng would end up with such unfortunate fate, so now he is not so surprised. After all, he caused this disaster himself, and he can't blame anyone. Let him know what it means to be unlucky to drink cold water and get stuck in his teeth. Thinking of this, the expression on Xiao Nanzhu's face became colder, but just as he turned his back, a man with his head lowered climbed out of the bedroom with a rag and started to kneel silently. He wiped the floor vigorously, and when he saw Xiao Nanzhu walking around while talking on the phone in the living room, a series of footprints were instantly left on the bright floor, he immediately stopped the movement of his hands, and then He frowned and glanced at Xiao Nanzhu unhappily.

This glance carried a sense of blame, so Xiao Nanzhu immediately raised his feet in cooperation, but the man who saw this did not pay any attention to him. He wiped the floor cleanly and started holding a feather duster in the whole room. He was cleaning dust everywhere. This scene that was incompatible with his image made Xiao Nanzhu want to laugh a little. After sitting down on the sofa, he looked at the young man wearing an apron with the words Libai dishwashing liquid, and his eyes became playful. .

Today is the 17th of February, which is the 29th of the lunar calendar. The two of them helped him to do a lot of work in the first two days. After that, they went back to the calendar to rest, but it was this morning. Seeing that the Chinese New Year was coming, Xiao Nanzhu was a little confused when he saw this messy house, so in the morning he looked at Kong'er and asked Twenty-nine, who went to work that day, to do a clean-up at home with him.

Twenty-nine is a taciturn man, whose appearance is obscured by everyone, but he has a special temperament and a somewhat provocative aura. As soon as Xiao Nanzhu saw him, he felt that he was different from those who had appeared before him. Maybe it was his cold eyes or his hands that implied strength. In modern times, he is like a serious soldier. looks like. This inevitably made Xiao Nanzhu feel a little intimacy, so he kept getting close to him, but no matter how he talked to Twenty-nine, this person didn't seem to want to talk, and just did his own thing in a proper manner. The work should be done, but when he saw with his own eyes that the 291 broom beheaded a formed evil spirit hiding in the corner of the house, Xiao Nanzhu first looked up at the red dust floating in the air. , and then raised his eyebrows quietly.

Because I haven't lived at home for several years, it is inevitable that there will be dirt and filth in the corners of the house, such as the anger that is easy to cause fire, and the loneliness that is easy to bring bad luck. As long as the broom and mop touched it, a strange sound resembling a human scream would be emitted.

Xiao Nanzhu had never noticed it before, but only after listening to Twenty-Four did he realize that in addition to mice and cockroaches, there are such pests in everyone's home. As long as there are family conflicts and personal negative emotions, they will gradually accumulate and eventually become disasters. , Today, he originally wanted to sweep these things out before the end of the year, so as not to accumulate until next year and continue to be unlucky for another year, but Twenty-nine was simply and did not give Xiao Nanzhu any chance to play. After catching them all like catching the four evils, classifying them and disposing of them, Xiao Nanzhu was a little speechless looking at this person's calm appearance.

"It is only natural for me to exclude them, their reproduction rate is not lower than that of cockroaches..."

Wiping his hands with a rag, Twenty-Nine noticed that Xiao Nanzhu had been looking at him and replied like this. His voice was deep and dull. At first glance, he looked like a very rigid personality, while Xiao Nan Zhu Zhu didn't think he was boring. Instead, he sorted the ones on the ground. The garbage bags that were still alive at the moment kicked with his toes. Then he turned his head with a smile and said,

"You catch this thing much more neatly than 2827. The two of them caught an evil spirit yesterday and the little girl dared to call me when they saw the mouse, thank you."

"… "

Hearing the words, Twenty-nine lowered his eyes, his expressionless face did not change in the slightest because of Xiao Nanzhu's praise. His words and deeds had a sense of conformity. Apart from loyalty and silence, there was even a trace of vitality. It was almost gone, which made Xiao Nanzhu's heart move, and subconsciously wanted to be more patient with this person, so no matter what he did in the future, he always talked to Twenty-nine, even though Twenty-nine was not only Endu. There was no unnecessary response, and when it was almost night, Li Mao was one step ahead of Fatty Cao to a hurried phone call.

"Brother Xiao, are you free now? Can you come over and help me see something? I have a problem at the construction site here. You must come and see it yourself. I'm dying of anxiety..."

Listening to Li Mao's tone, he knew that this must not be a good thing. At that time, Xiao Nanzhu was pasting the word "Fu" at the door of his house with Twenty Nine. , Judging from the charm of this font, it has a bit of literati style, and it looks very good on paper, and Twenty-Four also ran out to explain to Xiao Nanzhu the special function of the couplet and blessing he wrote.

"My words are all illuminated, and they are posted on the door, not to mention thieves and robbers, even monsters and ghosts can't get in, so the word "Fu" has to be posted upside down, you know? I guarantee you will be as happy as Erkang in the coming year. , if you don't worry anymore, you can post the photo of me and Twenty-five at the door, we are much more reliable than the stupid door god who sleeps all day o(* ̄▽ ̄*)ゞ..."

Xiao Nanzhu gave up on Twenty-Four's last suggestion after thinking about it, but it was unfortunate that Li Mao's call came, so he and Twenty-nine could only put down the couplets that had not been posted and went out directly. When he took a taxi and arrived at his construction site on the outskirts of the city, as soon as he walked outside, halfway through the construction site, Twenty-Nine subconsciously frowned, and Xiao Nanzhu, who also felt that something was wrong, raised his eyes. Seeing Li Mao with a small foreman, he quickly responded.

"Brother Xiao, you're here, hey, it's going to be very cold outside. If you don't go in and sit, the environment is not very good..."

Xiao Nanzhu didn't respond to Li Mao's words, he just set his eyes on the head of the foreman behind him, and the bloodied foreman also lowered his head and looked at Xiao Nanzhu in embarrassment. Realizing that something had happened to Li Mao's unfortunate project, Xiao Nanzhu took a cigarette and handed it to Li Mao and the foreman, then lit it in his mouth, raised his chin and asked,

"I told you not to start work for the next few days during the Chinese New Year. Did something happen to you again? There was an accident? Did someone die?"

"It's not dead, it's just a little bit injured... Brother Xiao, I know you said that for my own good, but this project is left here, and it's impossible to delay it until April! I'm procrastinating. One day is a loss, and workers still get paid if they don’t work, so tell me honestly, is there really no one day suitable for starting work in these two or three months?”

Rubbing his hands in embarrassment, Li Mao said this and Xiao Nanzhu had been standing with a blank face, which made him feel a little unsure, but this huge construction site always had such an accident, he was not at ease, not to mention them These people who do construction projects are actually a little superstitious. After all, there are old people who build a building, lay the foundation and dig a graveyard for a female corpse. It is inevitable that they will not be afraid. It was not until he finished speaking that Xiao Nanzhu curled the corner of his mouth with a meaningful expression. typical,

"I've seen people who want money but don't want to die. I've never seen someone who's so desperate. Okay, since Boss Li asked this question, I'll answer you. You have a lot of yin under the ground of your project. What a good place, so it is absolutely impossible to start breaking ground until Jingzhe and all things recover, but if you beg me now, I can also give you a solution, but…”

"Let's talk about the specific charging standards, what do you think?"
