Lou Cheng, who had nothing to do in the afternoon, returned home early. While chatting with Yan Zheke on his mobile phone, while watching variety shows in the sofa, he had a very pleasant time. sounds of nature
When night fell, he found that his mother hadn't come back, and the scheduled dinner only existed in his imagination.
"Hey, Mom, where have you been?" "Left-behind children" Lou Cheng took the initiative to call.
Qi Fang said "huh": "I didn't tell you?"
"No..." Lou Cheng replied blankly.
Qi Fang laughed dryly and said, "Oh, I'm used to you usually studying outside."
What are you used to? Are you used to not having my son? Lou Cheng covered his face with a long sigh and complained secretly.
Qi Fang continued: "Feifei has been playing at our house for several days, and your aunt urged her to go back. I thought that the last time I helped someone do a few shifts, it was not for nothing, so I just sent that girl away to avoid accidents on the way. I'm ashamed to see your aunt for something, Cheng Zi, you and your father will solve it by yourself at night."
Uh, can I sleep in my room tonight? Lou Cheng was overjoyed, and asked instead: "Mom, when are you coming back?"
"The day after tomorrow, go to your grandpa's house tomorrow, and get some homegrown vegetables..." Qi Fang started nagging Lou Cheng again, asking him to come and accompany grandpa and grandma when he didn't have to go to the martial arts gym on weekends.
After listening to his mother's nagging, Lou Cheng immediately sent a message to Yan Zheke, saying that he had been abandoned by his own mother and had no dinner.
And Yan Zheke responded with a few photos of the food she was enjoying without sympathy:
"You're welcome, my sister will help you eat!"
After a while, Lou Zhisheng opened the door and entered the room, and saw that Lou Cheng's lights and TV were not on, and he was just sitting on the sofa playing with his mobile phone, his face flickering brightly and darkly under the flickering light of the screen.
"You young people, you can't live without your mobile phone." Lou's father shook his head and sighed, then turned on the light and filled the room with light.
"Dad, Mom has gone to my aunt's house, we can handle dinner by ourselves." Lou Cheng raised his head while holding the phone.
Lou Zhisheng pushed his gold-rimmed glasses: "I know, let me cook..."
As he spoke, his voice suddenly stopped.
Lou Cheng was stunned for a moment, took a breath and said:
"How about we go to grandpa's house to eat?"
"Okay!" Lou Zhisheng made a decisive decision, as if he had been waiting for this suggestion for a long time.
The father and son didn't need to clean up. They called Lou Debang, said something, and immediately went out, turning around halfway to buy sauced duck and sliced chicken, which were regarded as extra dishes.
Entering Grandpa's house, Lou Cheng suddenly felt that the atmosphere was not right, because there were guests!
A man and two women sat in the living room, chatting with grandfather Lou Debang, second uncle Lou Zhiqiang, and cousin Lou Yuanwei, while grandma and second aunt were busy preparing dinner in the kitchen.
"Zhisheng, you are here, come, have a look, do you still know me, the son of the old Zhao family, is now promising, and is the deputy director of the police station on Feixia Road." Lou Debang smiled and pointed at the guest The only man in the house.
"Zijun, I remember, we used to play together when we were young, and every time we played the police and thief game, he would rush to be a policeman, and now he really is a policeman." Very pleasantly surprised.
Old Zhao's family was the Lou's neighbors a long time ago.
Zhao Zijun looked in his forties, with a Chinese character face, broken eyebrows, and heavy bags under his eyes. He stood up, patted Lou Zhisheng boldly and said, "Zhisheng still looks like a scholar, hehe, at that time, as long as I was naughty , my dad will use you as an example to teach me, saying that he is half as good as you, and he will be satisfied... "
Other people's children... Lou Cheng silently helped Zhao Zijun make a summary.
The other two are ladies. He didn't look carefully, so he glanced at him. There was a girl in her early twenties, with half-ball hair, quiet and cramped, and her cousin, Lou Yuanwei, was gone. The usual witty remarks are like pearls, and he seems restless.
Uh, it's not a meeting of old neighbors, it's a blind date! Lou Cheng suddenly realized, walked up to Lou Yuanwei with great interest, and patted him on the shoulder.
This was the first time he had encountered such a thing as a blind date.
It seems that the second uncle and the others were frightened by the cousin's ambition to toss again, so they accelerated the progress of the blind date, and came directly to the door without making any arrangements!
Lou Yuanwei gave his cousin a "sorrowful" look, but didn't dare to say anything.
"This is my lover Huang Qun, and this is my girl Zhao Qian who works as a Chinese teacher in No. 3 Primary School. Is that your kid?" After talking about the past, Zhao Zijun introduced his family.
Lou Zhisheng smiled and said, "Yes, Lou Cheng is still studying."
"Have you gone to college? Where did you study?" Zhao Zijun asked casually.
"Songcheng University." Lou Zhisheng answered with a little satisfaction.
"Very good, this is like you, like you!" Zhao Zijun didn't ask much about Lou Cheng, because today's protagonist is not him.
After the two parties sat down, they continued to chat. The topics focused on Lou Yuanwei's current work, Zhao Qian's situation, and Lou Zhiqiang's previous contracting of the canteen.
Lou Cheng could tell that the second uncle should have been repeatedly told today that he could answer with one sentence and never say another sentence, lest he accidentally say something hurtful.
The two sides chatted from pre-dinner to dinner, Lou Cheng had nothing to do with himself, and said nothing, conscientiously playing the role of eating meat, chicken, duck, ribs, and eggplant, while the hero and heroine were robbed of the limelight by their parents , can only answer questions occasionally in silence.
Lou Cheng could feel the palpable embarrassment with his toes.
Well, I tested "Response to Stimulus" this morning, and found that there is no such thing at all.
Was it a mistake to catch the thief in the first place
That's not right, that feeling is obvious...
I was in a deep sleep that time, but I was awake during the experiment. Is it because of this difference
... After Lou Cheng, who was caught in his own thoughts, came back to his senses, he found that the atmosphere had become a little cold and subtle. It seemed that the Zhao family might not be satisfied with Lou Yuanwei's situation.
When the dinner was over, Zhao Zijun didn't stay any longer, and took Huang Qun and Zhao Qian to leave on the pretext of having something to do, instead of letting Lou Zhiqiang and Lou Yuanwei see him off.
As soon as the guests left, the Lou family fell into a brief and depressing silence. A few minutes later, Lou Cheng's second aunt Wang Lili hit Lou Yuanwei and said in a tearful voice, "Two or three years ago, when our family was still well-established, , Old Zhao will look down on you? Weiwei, people have to accept their fate, some people are destined to be rich and powerful, and some people are destined to live in peace and stability, so don't worry about it, work hard and work hard... "
Lou Yuanwei tightly pursed his mouth, did not say a word, stood there stubbornly, his round face was full of gloom.
"Okay, don't talk about it, let him do it himself, we can't pay for it anyway!" Lou Zhiqiang shouted, his hair seemed to be getting more and more gray.
I knew I wouldn't be here for dinner... Lou Cheng had a headache, looked at his father's appearance, and found that he also felt the same way.
It is difficult for an honest official to decide on housework, and it is impossible for me to get involved in the problems of my second uncle's family.
"Don't talk, you can toss it yourself." The old man waved his hand, sighed, walked back to the sofa and sat down, watching TV in silence.
Lou Cheng's grandma and second aunt began to clean up the dishes, Lou Zhiqiang sat on the single sofa, Lou Yuanwei wanted to say something, but in the end he couldn't speak, and walked back to the room with a gloomy back.
"Dad, I'm going to talk to my brother." Lou Cheng whispered.
"Go ahead and persuade him." Lou Zhisheng nodded reassuringly knowing that his son had matured rapidly in the past six months.
Knocking on the door, he entered the room with no lights on. Lou Cheng sat on the computer chair, looked at Lou Yuanwei who was lying on the bed, and said, "Brother, what do you want to do this time?"
I've heard him mention it before.
Lou Yuanwei said sullenly: "Didn't I open a restaurant before? Seeing that Xiushan's takeaways have become popular recently, I thought of building a restaurant that specializes in takeaways without a shop, so that I don't need to spend too much money..."
As soon as he mentioned this, he opened up his chatter box, turned over and sat up, painfully and confusedly said: "Chengzi, do you know what is the most painful thing for people? It is not seeing hope. Now I go to the work unit on time every day to hang out. Two to three thousand yuan a month, I can’t die of hunger, I can’t catch cold, but I can’t see any hope. Today is the same as yesterday, and tomorrow will definitely be similar to today. I want a house, no! I want a car, no! It depends on this Dead wages, I don’t know when I can save them, do I still rely on my parents?”
"I don't want to make a fuss, but I don't want to be like this for the rest of my life..."
Lou Cheng listened quietly, thinking that if he got to this point, he would probably suffer the same pain and struggle.
"But you can't do it casually, right? You have to have a good idea, do some research, and then do it after you see the prospects?" Lou Cheng said from another aspect.
Lou Yuanwei was stunned and replied: "I think I should be able to get up, our unit has a lot of takeaways..."
It doesn't work by feeling... Lou Cheng complained, took out his phone, and consulted his life mentor, Coach Yan.
Yan Zheke replied with "his hands on his chin": "I haven't done any research in this area, since your cousin wants to do it, he must first do a good job of positioning and research, such as where is the takeaway area he is targeting, and the surrounding restaurants More or less, fire or fire..."
Lou Cheng translated her opinions into his own words, and told his cousin. Lou Yuanwei, who only had a high school education, was taken aback for a while, and finally said: "Chengzi, do you still understand this?"
"I don't understand, but some classmates understand." Lou Cheng replied proudly.
Coach Yan is great!
"Well, let me figure out these things first." Lou Yuanwei suddenly realized that he had no idea at all, he had taken it for granted before!
...
Ning Shui, Qi Yan's family.
Qi Yunfei was lying on the bed, watching the video leisurely, with her legs crossed and shaking.
"Sister, what are you looking at?" Chen Xiaoxiao rubbed her head and walked in.
Qi Yunfei laughed and said, "Brother Lou Cheng's game video, super handsome!"
"Brother Lou Cheng? Match video?" Chen Xiaoxiao looked bewildered.
"See for yourself!" Qi Yunfei pushed the tablet in front of her.
"I'm wiping my head!" Chen Xiaoxiao muttered, stopped her movements, and cast her gaze over.
A few minutes later, she asked in surprise, "Is this really Brother Lou Cheng?"
So powerful and majestic!
"Yeah!" Qi Yunfei propped his chin and said happily, "I'm almost a brother! If Ding Yanbo is half as good as Lou Cheng in the future, I'll be satisfied!"
Her eyes flickered, thinking about the future.
...
Leaving grandpa's house and returning to the entrance of the community by car, Lou Zhisheng and Lou Cheng were about to enter when they suddenly saw a notice posted in a conspicuous place.
"A-level arrest warrant from the police department..." Lou Zhisheng read out the title.
Lou Cheng looked at the following content:
"...Three murder cases..."
"Zhan Xuming (fugitive number...), male, occupation seventh grade..."
