Chapter 1945 Xiaoke who wants to make progress
Because it was too late, Chu Heng did not drink with Du San and the others. After eating two steamed buns around the big pot, he asked people to move the high-quality antiques in the warehouse to the car. After loading some clothes, I happily drove away from the scrapyard.
"A chicken in the left hand, a duck in the right hand..."
He hummed a cheerful ditty all the way, and when he reached a deserted place, he immediately put the big truck in Warehouse, take out the Volga and continue on your way.
Actually, Chu Heng wanted to go into the warehouse to appreciate the antiques, but it was already late. If he stayed in the warehouse for a while, it would probably be dawn before he got home, so he could only suppress it. This kind of impulse should go home first.
Soon he drove the Volga back to the city, and then he swerved again and rushed back to Banchang Hutong at nearly four o'clock.
At this time, the sky has become slightly brighter, and a faint ray of morning light blooms in the east, cutting through the hazy night.
“Hmm~”
Chu Heng yawned and got out of the car, swayed his arms and walked to the door, opened it, quietly returned to the courtyard, then quickly lowered the door latch and ran away. Go back to the bedroom, hug your slippery wife and fall asleep.
When he woke up, it was already past eight in the morning. Ni Yinghong had already left the bedroom at some unknown time. He opened his eyes and saw that the bed was empty and the room was quiet. For a moment, he felt overwhelmed. A sense of loneliness arises.
Chu Heng was stunned. He lazily pulled over the clothes hanging on the bedside, dug out a crumpled half-pack of cigarettes, took out one and lit it.
After he finished smoking a cigarette, he gained some energy. Then he sat up, put on his clothes, and came out of the bedroom with a pair of cotton mops under his messy hair.
Yang Guizhi was drying the freshly washed clothes in the courtyard with her aunt at this time. When she saw him coming out, she smiled and asked: "Wake up, what did you do last night? It's four o'clock Did you come back after a while?”
“Going to drink with Du San,” Chu Heng said, rubbing his eyes.
"You guys are really good at it. You can drink until four o'clock, but that stuff tastes so good? Go wash your face and brush your teeth quickly. I'll heat up the food for you." The eldest aunt wiped the water stains off her hands. I wiped myself and walked to the kitchen.
She has been restless since she called here, and often helps the elder sister with whatever she can.
"Okay, you're in trouble, aunt." Chu Heng grinned and carried the basin to the bathroom.
After a while, he washed up and came out. After returning the things to the bedroom, he asked Yang Guizhi again, and then went to the bird house to find Ni Yinghong.
At this time, Xiao Ni had finished feeding her birds and was standing angrily in the middle of the room with her hands on her hips, her beautiful eyes fixed on the starlings jumping in the cage hanging in the air. .
“Sun thief, Sun thief!”
"I'm the eighth generation ancestor of you!"
"Look at you, you're so shameless, you look like you've lost your shit!"
This silly bird is also interesting, and he can't learn a nice sentence. Anyone who curses can get away with it, and now even the foul-mouthed ones can hang out and curse with the neighborhood aunts.
Xiao Ni put a lot of effort into changing the bad mouth of the bird. However, she tried hard for several months without any results. She was so angry that she wanted to release the bird.
“Hey, this little mouth looks like honey.” Chu Heng liked this silly bird more and more, and thought Beier was interesting.
"You still have the nerve to say, look at all the lessons you taught me, my Eighth Brother, have been ruined!" Ni Yinghong immediately glared at him. All the dirty work in this Eighth Brother's mouth was brought out by Chu Heng word by word.
"Hey, don't be angry, don't be angry. I'll give you a good touch when you turn around." Chu Heng went over with a playful smile, hugged his wife from behind, and dishonestly touched her fruit with his two big hands. The stall owner pulled her over and asked, "I'm going to the Friendship Store in a minute, will you go?"
Little Ni, whose veins were pinched, lay softly against her, her mutton-fat skin white. Two beautiful red clouds appeared on her cheeks. She squinted her eyes and shook her head, saying: "I won't go. It's too tiring to climb up and down. Just remember to buy me a few feet of good stuff."
< br>"That's it." Chu Heng nodded when he heard this, and casually chatted with his wife about the few extra birds in the house. He came out of the house after his aunt had heated up the food and asked him to eat. Ran to the kitchen.
After eating and drinking, he went to talk to his wife again, and left home with two thousand dollars in Ni Yinghong's reluctant eyes, and drove to Xie's alley, ready to find a wife. The foreigner took him to the Friendship Store. In fact, as a foreign affairs worker, he can also enter the Friendship Store, but it is a bit more troublesome. It is better to find a foreigner to take it with him.
Not long after Chu Heng set off from home, he arrived at Xie’s Alley.
For a long time to come, this place will remain the same. There are a few cars with diplomatic license plates parked at the entrance of the alley, and the alley is dilapidated and dilapidated.
After finding a place to park the car, Chu Heng wandered into the alley, came to the noisy small courtyard and knocked on the door. Soon Xiao Niu, who came to help, opened the courtyard door to welcome him. Got in.
After entering the hospital, he first went to the kitchen to take a look.
The person who cooked here before was Ma Hua. After he was recruited to the guest house, he replaced him with another disciple of Shazhu. Chu Heng was not very familiar with him and only met him a few times, so he chatted with him casually. Then he wiped himself away and went to the main room.
Because it was still early, there were only five or six foreigners in the room at this time, talking and laughing while playing Texas Hold'em poker.
Chu Heng has not hung out with this group of foreigners for a long time. Unknowingly, this group of people has changed. Among the few people in the room, there are basically new faces, except for one An acquaintance.
It is an Albanian young man named Cobden.
He was one of the first foreigners to get to know Chu Heng. At first, there were Anna, Avima, Malkin and others who played well together. Now, among their group, they have either been promoted and returned to China, or Go and be your own boss, only he remains the same.
Young people really don't work hard...
"Ah, Chu! Long time no see, how are you doing?"
"Not bad, how about you?"
"I It’s okay. Let’s play together for a while.”
“No, I need your help. Do you have time now?”
"Okay, can you leave now?"
"Now."
Of course Cobden would not reject an old friend for such a trivial matter, so he readily agreed, and then the two of them Then he left Xie's Alley and rushed to Friendship Store.
On the way, the two people who had not seen each other for a long time naturally wanted to catch up on old times.
When talking about the past, Cobden couldn't help but sigh: "Time flies so fast. When I think back to when we played together, it's just like yesterday. Now I see that many old friends are gone. It’s been a long time.”
"Yes, yes."
"I heard that Avima is doing well now?"
"I can't. You know, I have no information at home, and I don't know much about the outside world." The matter is not very clear."
"I heard that she is now a great writer and has opened a trading company with Anna. I plan to resign and join them."
" Huh? How to resign properly? ”
"Because I can't see hope!"
Cobden sighed and said with a wry smile: "My application to return to China last month was rejected, and they still want me to continue working here. , even the position has not changed.”
