Chapter 55: Twenty-Two That Year
As the sun set, the old... handsome boy pushed the cart.
Chu Heng, who had lost his lighter, left the grain store gloomily and sighed all the way back to the courtyard.
It happened that Sha Zhu came back from get off work, carrying two lunch boxes in his hands. In the howling cold wind, Qin Huairu stood on tiptoes at the door of the middle courtyard and waited eagerly. She saw this boy Chu Heng here, I didn't dare to come and get it.
"Hey, Hengzi, why are you so wilt-headed?" Silly Zhu greeted happily.
"It's time to get off work, Brother Zhuzi, what can I do now? I'm just tired." Chu Heng glanced at him with a strong smile, accidentally noticed the lunch box in his hand, and suddenly remembered the spiced peanuts that Shazhu is good at. .
If you bring some of this god-level snack to a party, Beier will definitely be honored.
"Brother Zhuzi, do you have any peanuts?" he asked quickly.
Si Zhu, who had just passed by him, stopped when he heard this, turned around with a smile and asked: "What's the matter, do you want a drink?"
"Hey, my comrades are gathering at this moment. , you have to bring your own food and drinks, if you have any, you can give me some, I will exchange two pounds for you,” Chu Heng explained with a smile.
"Are you going to slap my brother in the face? Do you need to exchange something for me? Just wait, I'll get it for you right now." Silly Zhu glared at him unhappily, wiped himself off and walked to the middle courtyard.
When he arrived at the entrance of the middle courtyard, Qin Huairu stepped forward to intercept him, took the lunch box in his hand without any politeness, and then twisted his buttocks and left.
Silly Zhu didn’t say anything, shook his head helplessly and returned to his room.
This little widow has finally figured out Silly Zhu, from his personality to his weaknesses, she has pinched him to death.
Chu Heng curled his lips in disgust after witnessing all this, pushed the bicycle to the door of his house and locked it, took out the key to unlock the door and entered the house.
The first thing he did when he got home was naturally to play with the briquette stove. Because he was not at home yesterday, the coal fire he had previously put out had long been extinguished.
Chu Heng was busy lighting firewood and burning briquettes for more than ten minutes before the room felt warm.
“Bang.”
Si Zhu then opened the door and walked in, carrying a small cloth bag in his hand: “There is only more than half a catty left, I brought it all for you, brother, that’s cool. Let's do it."
"It's so interesting." Chu Heng took it and put it on the table, took out the cigarette and handed it to him: "Brother Zhuzi smokes."
Silly Zhu took it and lit it, took a sip with great enjoyment, and sighed: "Your boy's life is really nourishing. Not only does he eat fine food, but he also smokes cigarettes at the front door. You said that we are both bachelors. I am a month old." It’s a lot of money, why is the gap in living standards so big?”
Chu Heng rolled his eyes at this guy, why do you have such a bad life?
He didn't even bother to talk about this idiot.
The two sat by the stove and chatted for a while, then Sha Zhu got up and left. Before leaving, Chu Heng brought him some fruit.
Seeing that it was such a rare thing, Shazhu was not polite to him. He happily picked up the thing and left, saying that he would keep it for his sister He Yuyu to eat.
As for whether He Yuyu could eat or not, that was beyond Chu Heng's control. Anyway, he had returned the favor.
After sending Silly Zhu away, Chu Heng went to the closet and dug out his dusty general, school and nun suit.
Are you crazy? Look at the beige in beige. This is what we are talking about. Generally, it is only found in families of military cadres. Chu Heng’s outfit was given to him by his old leader when he retired. Zhenger The five and five postures of the Eight Classics.
If it weren't for the gathering of comrades today and having to wear a military uniform to suit the occasion, he really wouldn't want to wear this thing.
Without him, it is easy to be robbed. The general's dress can be said to be the most fashionable dress in this era. The stubborn gangs in the city are eager for this thing. In order to get such a suit of clothes, they will do anything they can, including stealing, robbing, cheating, and even killing people. Dare to do it.
Although he has good skills, there are times when even a good tiger cannot hold off a pack of wolves, right? Besides, he doesn't need to use this suit to photograph his mother-in-law, so why bother himself.
Chu Heng quickly changed his clothes. The stiff 55-style general made him look more upright and stylish, and the pair of military hook leather shoes on his feet also added a bit of power to him. , coupled with that tough and handsome face, he is definitely the model of the dream lover of most women in this era.
If the little nurse last night saw him today, I don’t know if she would be fainted, but she would definitely not be able to get along... Hmm.
Chu Heng took the small round mirror on the table and looked at himself, who looked like a dog. He nodded with satisfaction and took two bottles of Fenjiu and a pound of braised pork head from the warehouse. , picked up half a catty of spiced peanuts sent by Shazhu, and strode out of the house.
As soon as he pushed on his bicycle and was about to set off, he bumped into Qin Jingru walking in from outside the hospital.
“Hey, Comrade Jingru is here.” Chu Heng said hello with a smile.
The little local girl's breathing suddenly stagnated. Her big, watery eyes looked at the handsome boy in front of her, who was more handsome than before. She nervously grasped the corner of her clothes and greeted her with a red face: " I...I Come... My sister, how many days are you here? Brother Hengzi, are you going out?"
"We have a gathering of comrades today. Let's talk later. I have to leave quickly." Chu Heng smiled at her. , pushing the bicycle out of the compound.
The girl followed him out involuntarily, looking at his back longingly. She reluctantly looked back until he disappeared around the corner.
"Brother Hengzi is so good-looking."
Qin Jingru smiled silly, raised her hand and patted her chest, trying to soothe her rapidly beating heart.
Huh? It's too thick to be comforted, so forget it.
Chu Heng walked quickly against the cold wind. After receiving envious, amazed, jealous and other looks from countless passers-by, he finally arrived at No. 33 Courtyard of Foreign Affairs Street.
This place was originally the office of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. After the Ministry of Foreign Affairs moved here a few years ago, it was converted into a warehouse and dormitories.
The reason why they were able to hold the gathering in this place was entirely because of a comrade named Liu Haokong. Not only did he work in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he was also a serious brother of the courtyard, and his father was a founding father of the country. If this was put In ancient times, at least everyone was a young prince.
Chu Heng, the grain store registration clerk, is very impressive in front of ordinary people, but compared with others, he is not even a younger brother.
At this moment, Liu Haokong was standing in front of the iconic Western-style gatehouse in Courtyard No. 33 to greet people. He was less than thirty years old, tall, a little fat, and always had a look on his face. The seemingly innocent smile gives people a very friendly feeling.
Seeing Chu Heng coming over, Liu Haokong was not arrogant at all. He greeted him enthusiastically and gave him a solid bear hug: "Haha, little Hengzi, long time no see!"
"Brother Liu, long time no see." Chu Heng also hugged him hard and asked with a smile: "How many people are here?"
"It's dozens of times. Come in quickly and go to the left after entering the courtyard. That's the big conference room. I'll wait for the others here." Liu Haokong let go of him and pointed to the door.
"Then I'll go in first, and I'll see you later." Chu Heng waved his hand, walked into the tall gatehouse, and walked along the porch not far before finding the conference room.
The house is quite big, nearly more than 100 square meters. There is a briquette stove in each of the four corners. The blazing fire makes the room warm as spring. There are six round tables in the middle, and dozens of people gather together and make loud noises. Talking and laughing, the atmosphere was very lively.
This group of people is really as big as dogs. They are from the Commerce Bureau, the Railway Bureau, the municipal government, the People's Daily, and even ministries. Chu Heng looks extremely small here.
On the 22nd of that year, comrades gathered together, standing like minions...
