When I saw reporters from all walks of life asking questions, I quickly ran away. If they asked me again later, I would not have a chance to escape. So, I waved to my parents, and our family hurriedly left the interview site.
That night, Uncle Quan and Aunt Quan insisted on inviting our family to dinner. Uncle Quan pulled my dad and said, "Brother Hai, why are you so polite? If it weren't for your help today, I would have died. Let's go, let's go." Drink!" Aunt Quan also said: "Yes, Brother Hai, you said that without you, our family's misunderstanding would still be unsolved. Let's go, let's go!" In the end, our whole family and Uncle Quan's family were still sitting in the restaurant. The table was full, but before the food was served, Uncle Quan and Aunt Quan poured wine for my parents. My parents raised their glasses and drank it all in one gulp. Then my father said: "Feng Quan, we usually have a few brothers." Dining is not such a big deal, I think you invited me to drink this time because you are a drunkard and don't want to be in the bar?"
As soon as my father finished speaking, he heard a wretched voice at the door of the hotel saying with a smile: "Brother Lao Hai is Brother Lao Hai, hey hey." This kind of wretched laughter could not come from anyone except the blind old Uncle Chen. So you don't need to look to know that Chong Xi must be here with Lao Chen's arm. My dad squinted his eyes and laughed, "It seems you have something to do with me today!"
When the food was almost served, Uncle Quan raised his glass to his father and said, "Brother Hai, Xiaofeng told me that Shi Yan wanted to ask Xiaofeng to open a Yin Yang restaurant with Chong Xi. I discussed it with Brother Chen, and the child also Now that he's grown up, it's time to venture out. Besides, I've always wanted Xiaofeng to exercise, but this kid is still too young!" Uncle Chen took over and said, "Yes, Xiao Quan'er is right, you said that I am Disciple, what will you do if you don't exercise?" After hearing what they said, my father touched his chin and replied: "I don't have any problem with the three of them running around, but have you ever thought about how this Yin Yang Pavilion can be opened? It's not possible to make a living, but it's hard to make money to support the family in this yin and yang job. It's hard to say whether these three children can eat this bowl of rice..." Uncle Quan saw that his father didn't object at all, so he knew there was a way, so he Immediately strike while the iron is hot: "If we don't want to make money, we just want our children to exercise more! Xiaofeng, this kid, is still very sophisticated in his worldly manners and his kung fu skills!" Old Uncle Chen echoed: "Yes, I will be poor all my life if I work in the yin and yang industry. Okay, what did I say? Just take a look at this kid Chong Xi. He is already so virtuous. If he doesn’t practice more, he won’t be poorer than me in the future?” Lin Feng and Chong Xi looked at each other awkwardly and smiled awkwardly. Dare not refute.
Dad then drank all the wine in the glass and said, "Well, since you all said so, let these three kids try it!" At this point, the three of us brothers looked at each other, smiled and cheered at the same time.
I just did what I said, and the next day I received a sum of money from my father. Later, Lin Feng, Chong Xi, I, and I bought a store with a pretty good location in a community in the north of the city. Since this property has just opened and there are not too many people there yet, it is relatively simple for us to book this good location. However, another reason is that other people who want to rent the ground floor will consider it carefully and will not pay one price for two like us. Year's rent, without any counter-offer. I don’t feel bad at all. My father has no concept of money. You must know that although Wujing County is not a prosperous city, Wujing is still a hidden dragon and a crouching tiger. A wealthy person like my father is not obvious. There are not a few people. Lin Feng didn't say much about this, because his father was actually a rich man. Old Lin was also an iron rice bowl assigned by the state. After retirement, he became a martial arts consultant, so he was quite good. Lived. Only Yuan Chongxi's eyes widened when he heard about the rent. He had followed the old blind man for twenty years and had never seen this amount of money, so this Chongxi behavior could be regarded as normal. After all, Uncle Chen was guilty of "five evils and three "Lack", including money. Later, I also asked Chongxi whether the old man saved any money. Chongxi told me that he had saved money before and then stopped. I asked why, and Chongxi told me that whenever he saved up some money, the old man would get sick unexpectedly, or Chongxi would get injured accidentally. In short, this kind of thing would happen if he had money, and there would be nothing left after spending the medical expenses. Chong Xi said it was fate, and she didn’t know how much the old man had suffered in his life.
Anyway, without further ado, after more than a week, the small yin and yang shop of the three of us is finally about to open. Of course, the decoration adopts a series of retro styles, and it looks really interesting. The only thing that doesn't match may be that the owners of this Yin Yang Pavilion are three young people in their twenties. Seeing that the opening ceremony was going to be held the next day and the firecrackers would be set off, the three of us were so happy that we went to a nearby small restaurant to eat hot pot, arm in arm. Since we are now running our own business, we have to save money and spend it. Now the three of us can only afford a small restaurant.
But there is a saying that goes well, even if brothers are together without wine and drinking cold water, it still tastes good. We are almost there now, although we are not yet in such a state of desolation. The three of us were sitting in the hot pot restaurant, with Chong Xi concentrating on ordering the dishes. Lin Feng and I wanted to tease Chong Xi. Chongxi always looks dull, so the two of us always like to make fun of him. He wasn't angry either. After all, he knew that the two of us were just joking and not deliberately trying to get rid of him. This should be true brotherhood.
At this time, a girl in a fashionable dress walked into the hot pot restaurant. She looked about the same age as us. She was wearing a peaked cap and long purple hair. She came alone. I smiled evilly at Lin Feng, and Lin Feng elbowed Chongxi with his elbow. He poured a glass of wine and handed it to him and said, "Brother, have you seen that girl over there?" Chongxi looked confused. Nodding, Lin Feng added, "How about we make a bet? If you can make that girl drink, today's meal will be mine!" I immediately took over the conversation and said, "Tomorrow's meal will be mine. Yeah!" We thought Chongxi would laugh and scold us and tell us to get lost, but we didn't expect Yuan Chongxi to actually pick up the cup and go towards the girl with a confused look on her face...
His move made Lin Feng and I burst out laughing. I saw Chongxi walking up to the girl with a cup, and sat down on the seat in front of the girl. The girl was startled and said: "Yuan Chongxi!? Ah! Long time no see!" Lin Feng and I looked at each other. The smile stopped suddenly and froze on his face in an instant, holy shit! No! What a coincidence, she and Chong Xi met! ? Then I started to pray in my heart, sister, you must never know how to drink, sister, please never know how to drink...
But the sky did not follow people's wishes, and I don't know what Chongxi said to the girl. The girl smiled cheerfully, took the wine glass, raised her head, and drank the wine in one gulp. Lin Feng and I immediately had one sentence left in our minds: "Bad! I have teased idiots every year, but today I was teased by idiots." In fact, looking back on the past few years, although we have been making fun of Chongxi for a long time, he can always use it. He said some heart-wrenching words to prick you unexpectedly. You didn't pay attention to it before, but today you fell into his hands. I saw Chongxi chatting with the girl for a few words and then pointing to our table. The girl looked back at us and gave us a polite smile, and raised her hand to say hello to us. We both waved our hands towards her awkwardly and gave her an awkward yet polite smile, both of us wanting to find a crack in the ground and crawl in.
After they chatted for a while, they saw Chong Xi get up and lead her to our table and sit down! I quickly nodded and smiled at the girl: "Ah, ha." Lin Feng also nodded towards her, and the girl nodded and smiled like the two of us: "Hey." It seems that we have the same embarrassment and don't know each other at all. other side. At this time, Chong Xi, an idiot, didn’t know how to introduce himself, which made the three of us extremely embarrassed. Lin Feng typically didn't know how to talk to girls. In the end, it was me who spoke first: "My name is Shi Yan, and his name is Lin Feng. What do you call me girls?" The girl smiled and said, "Just call me Yuanyuan." Only then did I look over. Chongxi said: "Chongxi, you idiot, you should have a limit. Don't you want to introduce us?" Chongxi then reacted, "Oh, yes, she was our classmate in the technical secondary school. People who went to college later went their separate ways to find their own way, and we haven’t seen each other for several years.” Then Chongxi introduced us both to her: “They are my good brothers, and we both met at the Chinese Studies Museum. He is the son of the curator, and this eldest brother is the son of a martial arts consultant and a kung fu master."
The four of us chatted for a while, and then we realized that this girl Yuanyuan was waiting for a sister and made an appointment to come here for dinner. They also live in this newly opened community and rented a house just last week. The two girls are fellow villagers and came to the county town to work together. After the girl arrived, five people gathered at the table and Lin Feng helplessly dug into his pocket. During the meal, we chatted about the Yin Yang Pavilion. When we mentioned that we were in the ground floor shop downstairs of the community, the two girls were also excited. They said that this kind of occupation involving supernatural beings was very mysterious and they were very interested.
Then I said that our Yin Yang Pavilion would be opening tomorrow and invited them to join in the fun. The two girls accepted the invitation very happily. But this is just the beginning of our acquaintance with these two girls. There are more follow-up stories between Lin Feng and Yuanyuan...
