After Huang Dan called out Jiujiu, Nie Wenyuan just raised his head, and then turned his head and continued to watch TV.
Xiao Yanzi on the TV is flying over the eaves and walls, the palace was in a state of uproar. The eunuch shouted in a thin voice that the emperor has arrived, and the imperial concubine has arrived, her big eyes immediately turned slyly, and the person swooped into the rockery inside with great agility.
The emperor was so angry that his nose was about to crooked, and he ordered the guards in the palace to go into the rockery to arrest people.
Huang Dan looked at it and found it pretty good. He leaned against the door and faced the TV with the other three, staring intently.
In Huang Dan’s memory, this was the first time he stared at such a small color TV and watched a court drama, which had humorous episodes and a love affair between children.
The original owner’s eyesight is very good, and Huang Dan can see the small words on the bottom. Everything is pinched on time, the advertisement appeared just as Xiao Yanzi was caught. He looked at the house where the original owner’s parents lived.
This is an era of rich people with ten thousand yuan. Whoever can spend ten thousand is linked to the word rich. The poor are dying of poverty, and the rich are extremely rich.
It is said that some people were allowed to get rich first, and then lead and help other poor people, so as to achieve common prosperity, but the gap between the rich and the poor is gradually widening, and it is difficult to catch up.
The original owner had a good family background, and was the first to build a building around this time, and was also the first to buy a color TV. If his father hadn’t died of a stroke, the family’s income would only be more and better.
The furniture in the room is all made of wood, full of traces left by the years. There are two red leather boxes on top of the closet, which were bought by the original owner’s mother at the time of marriage. They were covered with a torn sheet to keep out the dust.
There are some bottles and cans on the TV cabinet in the room. There is a glass below, many things scattered here and there. There are pictures of the whole family on the glass. Chen Xiaorou has the most. She has been a beauty since she was a child. She loves beauty very much, the older she gets the better she looks. She has long arms and legs, and she is pleasing to the eye however she poses.
Thanks to the good eyesight of the original owner, Huang Dan looked at the photos carefully one by one, and found Nie Wenyuan in his teenage years. He was wearing a military uniform and looked upright. He stood straight, like a pine tree.
In fact, the young Nie Wenyuan looked very different from the one in front of him, but the righteousness between his eyebrows and eyes has not changed, so Huang Dan can be sure that it is the same person, and picked him out among a lot of photos.
Huang Dan recalled the task released this time. The victim was Xiaowei. The task was to find out who had raped her, making her lose her innocence, shamed herself and her family, and was dropped out of the art troupe, causing her to be mentally stimulated and go crazy.
As the task issuer, that is, Xiaowei’s Jiujiu Nie Wenyuan, he should not be among the suspects, but the two siblings Chen Fei and Chen Xiaorou…… It’s hard to say.
Huang Dan searched the original owner’s memory, and knew that Xiaowei was two years younger than Chen Xiaorou. She has also liked dancing since she was a child and is very talented in dancing. She is sweet-tongued, laughing, and very lovable.
In recent years, relatives praised Xiaowei for her good dancing, and when they had dinner together during festivals, they asked her to dance with Chen Xiaorou, and they would inevitably be compared.
Chen Xiaorou is a proud person. She has a good temperament and excellent dancing skills. She is the Snow White in the hearts of the boys in T city. She is the focus of attention wherever she goes. She will never like the feeling of being compared to someone.
As for Chen Fei, he went out to meet Xiaowei secretly last month, and there was a fierce quarrel between cousins.
It was already very late at that time, the original owner’s group came back after falling apart with a gang of scoundrels, and he ran into the scene by accident. He drank a little too much so he didn’t go over to check the situation.
Afterwards, the original owner approached Chen Fei. In fact, he thought he was delusional, so he wanted to ask. Chen Fei admitted it and said that a classmate was pursuing Xiaowei, but she rejected him. So he was begged by his classmate to go to the other party to say nice things about him. That’s what happened.
So things turned around.
Huang Dan remembered that Xiaowei’s accident also happened last month.
When the commercial ended, Xiao Yanzi yelled at Emperor Ama so loudly that Huang Dan was forced to pull back his thoughts.
“Xiao Yanzi will be spanked again this time.”
Chen Fei opened his mouth with a warm voice, which didn’t match the tall and burly body of other party, “Xiaorou, didn’t you say that Xiangfei will come out in this episode? Why haven’t I seen anyone yet?”
Huang Dan doesn’t know who Xiangfei is, she should be someone with a scent on her body.
Hearing Chen Fei’s question, Chen Xiaorou fiddled with her long hair with her pale fingers, saying she didn’t know, “It was shown like that in last night’s trailer.”
She turned her head, as if she had just discovered the person at the door, “When did you come back?”
When she asked this question, Chen Fei also twisted his neck back, with an expression similar to that of Chen Xiaorou, and his brows were frowned, “Why didn’t you talk when you came back? Jiujiu is here, don’t you know how to greet people?”
Huang Dan,“……”
Nie Wenyuan said, “He greeted me just now, it’s because you guys were so engrossed in watching TV, you didn’t notice.”
As soon as these words came out, Huang Dan cleared his grievances.
Chen Xiaorou turned her head and continued watching TV, “Chen Yu, go grab a few handfuls of peanuts from the iron pot on the coffee table in the main room.”
Huang Dan directly brought all the tin cans into the house, “Jie, where do you want to put them?”
Chen Xiaorou didn’t look at him, she was watching TV, a hint of impatience appeared on her fair face. It seemed that she was afraid of being infected with the disease if she said one more word, “Give it to Jiujiu, what are you doing in front of me?”
Huang Dan didn’t say anything, just handed the tin can to Nie Wenyuan, “Jiujiu, have some peanuts.”
Nie Wenyuan reached into the tin can, took a peanut and peeled it open, “I haven’t seen you for a few days, you are so well-behaved.”
Huang Dan’s eyelids twitched, but he didn’t make a sound. Instead Chen Fei laughed, the nice voice coupled with that smiling face gave off a sinister flavor, “Jiujiu, if he behaves well, the sun will be sure to come out from the west.”
Chen Xiaorou also laughed, “There is still red rain in the sky.”
Nie Wenyuan put the peanut shells on the table, clapped his hands and said, “Really? Normally, Xiao Yu would have thrown the tin can on the table and left without looking back.”
Now Chen Xiaorou and Chen Fei looked at Huang Dan, “Chen Yu, did you get into some trouble again?”
Huang Dan shook his head, “No.”
Obviously no one believed it, and the original owner’s credibility had already reached a negative number.
Huang Dan felt that the original owner’s Gege and Jiejie all rejected his existence for many reasons. He was the most favored when he was a child. He was obviously the youngest and could wear their leftover old clothes, but the family still had to buy him new clothes.
When the original owner grew up and started hanging around outside from morning to night, his Gege and Jiejie disliked him even more, probably because he didn’t make progress and would only drag others down and embarrass them.
It seems embarrassing just to hear people say “Chen You is your Didi?.”
There is also the matter of Chen Xiaorou writing a letter to a pen pal. Unfortunately, the original owner found out, and often used this little trick to ask her for money, and let her take care of it when something happened.
There are many shades of the original owner. He is young, but very complicated.
There was a time when Chen Xiaorou was molested in a corner by gangsters. The original owner and Chen Fei both saw it. Chen Fei was more worried and chose to run to find someone instead of putting himself in danger.
The original owner didn’t run away, but rushed up to fight with those people, took Chen Xiaorou away with injuries all over, and grinned at her, saying it was okay.
There are many such things, but no one remembers them.
The reason lies in the original owner’s cynical temperament, the kind of little hooligan who is not afraid of anything. He doesn’t take others seriously and acts like a little hooligan who causes trouble, which is off-putting.
Huang Dan pursed his lips, he remained silent, and the atmosphere in the room changed.
Chen Fei looked at his Didi, and came up with a gesture ‘for your good’, “If you get into any trouble, just tell the truth. It just so happens that Jiujiu is here today, and can give you some advice.”
Huang Dan’s “really not” bounced on the tip of his tongue a few times, he remembered the 10,000 yuan, and fell silent.
That man Wang Ming is a bomb, he will blow it up sooner or later, don’t know how many people will be involved, and he will definitely not let the original owner have a good life, Huang Dan needs to find a backer, so he shifted his gaze to Nie Wenyuan.
“Jiujiu made a mistake, Xiao Yu is still not well behaved.”
Nie Wenyuan didn’t turn around when he said this, he still had peanuts in his mouth, and his voice was a little fuzzy, it sounded like a very common, homely sentence.
But Huang Dan knew that in the short two or three seconds just now, Nie Wenyuan discovered that his nephew was peeping at his ass.
The atmosphere got worse.
Huang Dan backed out, this is not the right time to talk to Nie Wenyuan, he will be reprimanded.
The kitchen on the east side of the yard was filled with a strong smell of oily smoke, and the sound of the spatula rubbing against the cauldron continued to be heard, and wisps of fragrance wafted from the pot from time to time.
Nie Youxiang gave birth to three children, and her daughter is a dancer. In the future, she will be on TV, in the Spring Festival Gala, and dance in front of the whole country. She does not let her daughter learn to do housework such as washing and cooking. She thought about letting her two sons learn to do it.
But the eldest son’s head is full of knowledge from books, and he can’t do anything else except reading. It’s not a big deal to drop one or two bowls. If they were dropped continuously, the family would suffer.
The youngest is so naughty, he either grabs a handful of soil and throws it into the water tank, or plays with it by scratching the pot hole.
Nie Youxiang has a strong temper, and she does everything by herself. After her husband passed away, she fainted at home twice from overwork. If it wasn’t for Ma Dabo, no one would have known even if she died.
When her Didi came over for dinner, Nie Youxiang couldn’t serve him with radish and pickled vegetables. She couldn’t lose face. She bought a crucian carp in a small shop nearby, which was almost two catties of meat, and killed a rooster.
Nie Youxiang lifted the lid of the pot, and shouted outside while filling the fish soup, “It’s time to eat——”
After a while, several people sat down around a wooden table.
The table was unstable, and there was a book under the corner of the table on Huang Dan’s side, and it was still wobbling. He took the rice bowl to eat, and didn’t put his arms on the table.
The roast chicken was placed in the middle, and there were lumps of dark brown stuff in it. The locals called it Shanfen dumplings. Although it was not a big fish or meat, it tasted very good.
Huang Dan had never eaten Shanfen dumplings before. He picked a piece out of curiosity and put it in his mouth. The umami flavor of the chicken sauce mixed with the fragrance of ginger, onion and garlic, all soaked in the dumplings, soft and delicious, oily but not greasy, he thought it was delicious, so he put a few pieces into the bowl in one go, and started to eat.
Nie Youxiang said, “Xiao Yu, why are you so immersed in eating by yourself, you don’t even know how to toast your Jiujiu!”
Huang Dan swallowed the food in his mouth, he went to the tea table to get a cup, poured some herbal tea, rinsed it and served it, and poured himself a sip of white wine, “Jiujiu, I pay respect to you.”
Nie Wenyuan didn’t lift his eyelids, “Sit down.”
Huang Dan sat down when he heard the words. He looked up and found that Nie Youxiang’s complexion was not very good. Chen Xiaorou and Chen Fei looked at him with a look that said mud couldn’t hold up the wall.
At this moment, Huang Dan understood that Nie Wenyuan was being polite when he said to sit down. He couldn’t sit down and had to stand.
This kind of human sophistication is too complicated, and Huang Dan doesn’t understand it well, and there is still more to learn later.
Chen Fei understands very well, one mouthful after Jiujiu, chatting with Nie Wenyuan all the time at the dinner table, his posture is humble and polite, he knows when to collect and when to let go. He knows how to measure things, is a smart person, and has a lot of thoughts.
Chen Xiaorou said, “Jiujiu, not only is my Ge excellent in knowledge, but also in practical operations. The supervisors in the factory are not as good as him.”
As soon as this topic was brought up, the relaxed atmosphere was reduced by more than half.
The meaning between the lines in Chen Xiaorou’s words was obvious, that is, she feels that her Ge had studied for so many years and didn’t need to start from the grassroots level. He and those workers are not on the same level, so it is overqualification and underutilization.
Nie Wenyuan took a sip of wine, “It’s more important than anything else to be down-to-earth.”
Chen Xiaorou wanted to say something, but was stopped by Chen Fei’s eyes. He smiled, “What Jiujiu said is that one should take it step by step and enrich oneself so that one can accumulate a lot.”
Nie Youxiang asked, “Wenyuan, your Liu Shushu’s family’s third son went to B City to start some kind of leather bag business, and took all the family’s money with him. Your Liu shushu is so anxious that he can’t even eat. Do you think his third son can start a business?”
“I haven’t been involved in this aspect so far, so it’s hard to say.”
Nie Wenyuan ate his food, “The business field is full of variables. Some people can become upstarts, some people lose money in business, and they can’t pay off their debts even if they sell everything.”
“That’s right.”
Nie Youxiang groaned, “The third child took away his father’s money, and the second child found out and almost demolished the whole house. Did he tell you about this?”
Nie Wenyuan nodded, “Told it.”
Huang Dan listened while eating, stuffing all the useful information into his mind, and will sort it out later.
The second child is named Liu Quanwu, and he is Nie Wenyuan’s childhood friend. The two of them had a lot of fun from the time of wearing open crotch pants, and they had a mutual and heart-to-heart friendship. As they grew older, things got more complicated, and their relationship was no longer pure.
After Nie Wenyuan was assigned to W City, Liu Quanwu worked in the factory, but he hasn’t made a name for himself all these years.
Now Nie Wenyuan has been transferred back and has become his leader.
Liu Quanwu is usually a good person, but he likes to gamble. When he was young and energetic, he left two fingers on the gambling table. The incident caused a big disturbance, and the whole city of T was full of uproar. There was an extra scar on his face, his good face was disfigured, and the handsome guy became ugly.
If a child wants to gamble, the family will use Liu Quanwu’s name to scare the child, saying that if you go to gamble, you will be like Liu Quanwu. If you are scared like this, most of the children will become honest.
For a while, the original owner admired Liu Quanwu very much, and imitated him in tattooing himself, with a green dragon on the left and a white tiger on the right, and a huge dragon coiled on his chest, thinking that he was so awesome that he could be invulnerable.
In the past few years, Liu Quanwu hasn’t made any mess. He commutes to and from work according to his duties. His relatives and friends think that he has quit his gambling addiction, and Huang Dan knows it is a lie.
The original owner likes to call people xiongdi, and met a Dage on the road. He heard Liu Quanwu’s name from the other party, and that he has been betting, never stopping, that sooner or later he will lose the head on his neck.
Nie Wenyuan is in his late thirties and has no wife or children. He has been busy with his career and has no time or energy to think about anything else.
Liu Quanwu’s situation was the same as Nie Wenyuan. He was also an old bachelor. He didn’t have a family, not because of his career, but because he had no money. He used the little money he had to gamble, and was in and out of money. In the end, he was broke.
Huang Dan temporarily circled Liu Quanwu into the list of suspects. He didn’t have any clear clues now, anyway.
“Xiao Yu, why are you spacing out? Mom asked you to pour wine for your Jiujiu, but you didn’t answer after calling several times.”
Nie Youxiang’s voice brought Huang Dan back to his senses. He got up, took the wine bottle and went up to fill the cup, and called Nie Wenyuan who was motionless, “Jiujiu.”
Nie Wenyuan drank a cup, his face was calm, but his eyes were red, “Pour less.”
Huang Dan followed suit.
He cooperated so well, not to mention Nie Youxiang, Chen Xiaorou and Chen Fei, even Nie Wenyuan was surprised.
He must have gotten into trouble, otherwise he wouldn’t be so obedient.
Nie Youxiang will not talk about her youngest son at this time, if she does that, she might not be able to eat well, she said, “Wenyuan, I discussed with Xiao Fei and asked him and his classmates to go to City B to develop, but he refused to go”
Nie Wenyuan said, “Xiao Fei has his own ideas.”
Nie Youxiang was counting on Nie Wenyuan to say something like “Then don’t go, I will keep an eye on things for him later”, but she didn’t know that the other party wouldn’t follow her wishes and blocked the conversation.
Chen Fei lowered his head to eat, not knowing what he was thinking.
Huang Dan thought to himself, this family sitting at the same table has a lot of thoughts.
Nie Wenyuan’s chopsticks picked up the meat from the belly of the fish, and Huang Dan’s chopsticks also stretched out. The two people’s chopsticks touched each other, and then staggered.
The piece of meat from the belly of the fish entered Huang Dan’s belly because Nie Wenyuan withdrew his chopsticks one step ahead of him.
Nie Wenyuan put down the bowl and chopsticks to fill up the soup, “Since when did Xiao Yu like to eat the meat from the belly of fish? Jiujiu remembers that when you were a child, you said that the meat from that place was not good.”
Huang Dan said, “I got stuck by a fishbone last time, so I ate the meat from the belly of the fish instead. There are no small thorns there.”
Nie Wenyuan took a sip of the fish soup, “Jiujiu thought you changed character.”
“If he can change his character, Old Chen will definitely climb up from the ground happily.”
Nie Youxiang asked the eldest son to bring over the remaining fish soup in the pot, and she dragged the subject back, “Wenyuan, please help find Xiao Fei a job, he has nothing to do at home all day long, I’m afraid he will get bored.”
Huang Dan found a small shadow at the door, it was Chen Fei, and he was hiding in the corner to eavesdrop.
Nie Wenyuan didn’t seem to notice it, and he refused quickly, “Jie, there are people watching from above, it’s hard for me.”
Nie Youxiang hurriedly said, “It doesn’t matter if he doesn’t join the factory, as long as he can learn something.”
Nie Wenyuan put the bowl on the table, took out the cigarette case and matches from his trouser pocket, “Xiao Fei has a diploma, so he will have many opportunities.”
Nie Youxiang said, “There are indeed many opportunities, but none of them are good. Either work with workers, or stay in an office with people my age, and commute to and from get off work on time. What can he learn?”
She couldn’t take it anymore, “Wenyuan, Jie knows you have a lot of connections, can you get Xiao Fei to a government agency? You also know that your JieFu is gone, and the family is relying on Xiao Fei.” (JieFu/ MeiFu= sister’s husband)
As she spoke, Nie Youxiang wiped her eyes and cleared the wine.
Nie Wenyuan lit a match and lit a cigarette with a serious face, “He just graduated and has no social experience, so he shouldn’t be picky. He should keep a balanced mentality.”
Chen Xiaorou acted like a baby, “Jiujiu, just help my Ge.”
Nie Wenyuan said, “Your Ge needs training.”
Chen Xiaorou sighed in her heart. In her memory, her Jiujiu had always been one-sided and extremely principled. No one could shake his decision. She exchanged glances with her mother and didn’t say anything further.
The small shadow outside the door was gone.
Huang Dan took a mouthful of rice, and Chen Fei resented the original owner, this Didi in his heart. If it wasn’t for him, things wouldn’t have been messed up.
Nie Wenyuan wanted to leave after the meal, and Nie Youxiang asked her eldest son to see him off.
Chen Fei was sweeping the floor, as if he didn’t hear it, and hated Nie Wenyuan in his heart. After all, they were a family, and the other party still didn’t take it seriously. Could it be that he wants their family to kneel down and kowtow?
Nie Youxiang’s complexion changed, she didn’t expect the eldest son to dare to do this, she looked at the man standing in the yard smoking, “Wenyuan, I see that Xiao Fei drank a lot and his ears are not working well. I’d better call Xiao Yu to send you off.”
Before Nie Wenyuan could react, Nie Youxiang yelled in the direction of the kitchen, “Xiao Yu, send your Jiujiu off!
Huang Dan was washing dishes inside, he wiped his hands and came out, “Okay.”
It was raining heavily. Huang Dan and Nie Wenyuan each had an umbrella, and walked back and forth in the alley that was hit by the rain. No one was around, and the neighbors were all nestled at home.
Huang Dan heard a voice next to his ear, “Xiao Yu, do you want to send Jiujiu to the doorstep?”
He showed his face from under the umbrella and found that they had walked out of the alley and stood at the intersection. From time to time, people in raincoats passed by on bicycles, splashing muddy water.
Nie Wenyuan pinched away the cigarette from his mouth, and exhaled a puff of smoke into the void, with the smell of alcohol in his breath, “Tell me, what’s the matter.”
Huang Dan was stunned, “Nothing.”
Nie Wenyuan lifted the umbrella in his hand a little bit, his eyes fell on the young man, and he said without emotion, “Jiujiu gave you a chance, you don’t want it, the next time you want it, you won’t have it.”
Huang Dan said, “It’s raining harder, Jiujiu, why don’t you stay for a night?”
Nie Wenyuan stuffed the cigarette back into his mouth again. He put one hand in his pocket and looked across the road, “Jiujiu drove the car.”
Huang Dan followed the man’s line of sight and saw a black car, which was a bit blurry in the rain curtain. He wiped his face to wipe off the rain that slanted onto his face.
Nie Wenyuan stepped on the bumpy road with his leather shoes, “Go back.”
He didn’t take a few steps when he heard a voice behind him, “Goodbye, Jiujiu.”
After a pause, Nie Wenyuan turned his head and saw the young man standing in place, holding an umbrella in his hand, with a serious and obedient expression. He raised his eyebrows strangely, wanted to say something, but finally got into the car and left without saying anything.
Huang Dan returned the same way, and when he got home, his shoes were filled with water. He stood under the eaves and slipped his shoes, and walked into the house barefoot, but was stopped by Nie Youxiang on the way.
“Did your Jiujiu say anything?”
“No.”
Huang Dan’s toes twitched, “Mom, I’m going back to the room.”
Nie Youxiang pulled the youngest son back, “Wait, tell mom clearly what happened outside this afternoon.”
The corner of Huang Dan’s mouth twitched, “I’m really fine.”
Nie Youxiang didn’t believe it, “It’s going to rain all the time these two days, so don’t run outside, just stay at home honestly, do you hear me?”
Huang Dan said, “I heard it.”
When the younger son returned to the room, Nie Youxiang didn’t react. She looked at the portrait of her husband and wiped it with a rag,” Old Chen, couldn’t it be that you gave Xiao Yu a dream? just ask him a few more times to change his temper, learn a skill seriously, and live a better life in the future, don’t you think?”
Huang Dan took a cold shower, goose bumps all over his body, he quickly put on his jacket and trousers, went to pour himself a glass of water, and went upstairs after a while.
Chen Xiaorou’s room is upstairs. It is spacious and clean. There is a piano in it, which was bought by Nie Wenyuan last year.
Nie Wenyuan treats his niece equally. There is also one at Xiaowei’s place.
Huang Dan went to the door and knocked, and Chen Xiaorou’s voice came from inside, “Who is it?”
He put down his hand, “Jie, it’s me.”
It took Chen Xiaorou a while to open the door, she seemed to have just taken a shower, her long hair was still wet, “What are you upto?”
Huang Dan said, “There is something I want to talk about with you.”
Chen Xiaorou stood at the door, not planning to let her Didi into her room, “Let’s talk here.”
Huang Dan didn’t care, he started talking, his eyes were probing, “Shall we go see Xiaowei Jie tomorrow?”
Chen Xiaorou said, “No time.”
Huang Dan asked, “What about the day after tomorrow?”
Chen Xiaorou’s complexion is not good, “Chen Yu, you are doing it on purpose, it’s not like you don’t know that I will participate in the art performance next month. I am busy practicing dance every day, so I took a leave of absence to come back tonight. How can I have time to see her.”
She frowned, “Forget it, even if I tell you, you wouldn’t understand.You have no idea how fierce the competition is in the group. Some people wish that I had no time to practice dancing so that they could take my place.”
Huang Dan said, “I heard that Xiaowei Jie’s spirit is very bad, and she almost fell out of the window yesterday.”
Chen Xiaorou brushed her wet hair back from her shoulders, “Anyone who encounters something like her won’t be able to get better. In my opinion, it’s better to see her less and let her rest to avoid further stimulation.”
She said strangely, “No, Chen Yu, what happened to you today? There was such a big commotion about Xiaowei last month. When we went to her house, you didn’t go, saying you didn’t have time, but now you actually say you want to see her. You don’t have a fever, do you?”
Huang Dan said, “I heard people say it this afternoon, and I think she’s pretty miserable.”
Chen Xiaorou said, “People are already like that, can it not be miserable? If I were in her place, I wouldn’t be able to survive.”
Huang Dan said, “Jie, some people say it was done by an acquaintance, do you think it could be……”
Chen Xiaorou interrupted suddenly, “Chen Yu!”
Huang Dan was still considering who’s name should be better, but he was scolded by Chen Xiaorou so quickly.
Chen Xiaorou later realized that her reaction was too big, she took a breath, “Because of you, there are enough things going at home, and it’s rare to calm down recently. Chen Yu, control your mouth and don’t talk nonsense outside, consider Jie beg you.”
Huang Dan looked at Chen Xiaorou.
Chen Xiaorou didn’t want to say any more, she said “I’m going to sleep” and closed the door.
Huang Dan turned around and went downstairs to the opposite room.
Chen Fei’s door was closed, he probably forgot to close it, he was lying on the bed reading a book, he looked short of breath.
Huang Dan pushed the door open and came in, “Ge.”
Chen Fei was startled, and the book in his hand fell off. Seeing the young man looking over, he hurriedly stuffed the book under the pillow, “You make no sound when you walk?”
Huang Dan said, “It’s because Ge was reading the book too seriously.”
His words had no other meaning, but to Chen Fei’s ears, he thought that the other party had clearly seen the book in his hand and was deliberately causing trouble, “We are all adults, it’s no big deal to read books on this subject. “
Huang Dan asked, “Sexual aspects?”
Chen Fei didn’t expect his Didi to be so direct. He blushed and put his left leg on top of his right, “Yes.”
Huang Dan said, “That’s not a big deal.”
Chen Fei took it as a taunt, but no one knew that he envied his Didi, who lived a carefree and free life, and had not changed much after being sent to a labor camp. He can’t do without taking other people’s strange eyes and comments seriously.
In the final analysis, Didi lives for himself, while Chen Fei lives for others to see. This is the difference between him and Didi.
Chen Fei fished out the book under the pillow and threw it on the table, “Look at it, take it if you like it.”
Huang Dan went over to look through it, and found that it was all text without illustrations, which he didn’t like.
Chen Fei teased, “Why, don’t like it?”
Huang Dan closed the book, “I don’t know many words.”
Chen Fei snorted, “Ge didn’t think carefully, I’ll give you the one with a picture next time.”
He was still crossing his legs, and the sitting posture looked very uncomfortable, “You didn’t go to bed, what are you doing in my room?”
Huang Dan said, “I went upstairs to find Jie just now, and wanted to ask her if she would go to see Xiaowei Jie tomorrow, but she said she didn’t have time, Ge, are you going?”
Chen Fei’s reaction was bigger than Chen Xiaorou’s, “No!”
Huang Dan narrowed his eyes, “You don’t have time either?”
Chen Fei nodded, with a sad expression on his face, “It’s not like you didn’t hear it during dinner. Jiujiu said that he wouldn’t care about your Ge’s affairs in consideration of the overall situation and I don’t know when the job will be settled.”
Huang Dan said, “It won’t take much time to go and see Xiaowei Jie.”
Chen Fei drove people outside, “You are not a child anymore, and it’s not that you don’t know where Xiaowei’s house is, so you can go if you want to go.”
“But I would like to advise you, don’t make trouble for yourself.”
The door closed in front of Huang Dan, he rubbed his forehead, and squatted on the toilet in the yard.
The original owner’s family had the habit of reading books while squatting to defecate. A nail was fixed on the wall next to it, and a small wooden basket was hung. Inside was a dream of Red Mansions, Romance of the Three Kingdoms, Story Club, Baby Annie… It was quite miscellaneous, and they all fumigated and smelly.
Huang Dan took the storybook and read it while listening to the rain outside.
It wasn’t until Nie Youxiang wanted to use the toilet that Huang Dan came out. His legs were numb, he walked slowly, and was drenched in the rain.
Nie Youxiang knocked off the spider webs on her younger son’s shoulders, “Mom thought you fell into the dung tank.”
Huang Dan didn’t read the storybook later, he kept organizing his thoughts, and he sneezed, “I’m going to bed. Mom, you should go to bed early too.”
Nie Youxiang’s hand remained in the air for a while.
It rained all night, and a layer of water accumulated on the ground, and it was still crackling. Listening to the sound, people panicked, fearing that the flood was coming.
Ma Dabo next door came to the doorstep early in the morning, entered the house with Nie Youxiang, and took a long time to come out.
Huang Dan finished his last mouthful of porridge, “Dabo, what’s wrong?”
Ma Dabo slapped his shoes on the threshold, and a lot of mud fell out, “Your Liu Shushu has been laid off.”
Huang Dan squatted beside him, “Then Quanwu Ge……”
Ma Dabo put the shoes back on his feet, and he sighed, his face was full of grooves gnawed by time, “It’s hard to say.”
“You don’t have to worry about your Jiujiu’s place. Those who are capable can enjoy themselves anywhere.”
Huang Dan looked at the rainwater in the yard, “Dabo, will this rain stop?”
Ma Dabo also looked over, and he slapped his mouth, “It will definitely stop, but the threshold may be flooded.”
Huang Dan said in his heart that if things go on like this, not only the threshold but also the house might be flooded.
At around ten o’clock, Nie Youxiang called out to his youngest son, “Xiao Yu, go and deliver food to your Jie.”
Huang Dan rode his bicycle to the Art Troupe in the heavy rain. When he got there, his whole body was soaked. When he took a step, the water from his shoes leaked out.
A girl with a ponytail came towards him. She had a good figure and was also very beautiful. She was much more agile than Chen Xiaorou, “Xiao Yu, you came to deliver food to your Jie.”
Huang Dan recognized Fang Fang, Chen Xiaorou’s biggest competitor, “Yes.”
Fang Fang smiled brightly at him, “Wait, I’ll call someone over for you.”
Huang Dan was standing in the aisle, when Chen Xiaorou came over, there was already a puddle of water at his feet.
Chen Xiaorou took the lunch box in her hand, “Okay, you can go back.”
She turned her head and saw Fang Fang standing not far behind, winking at her Didi, her face suddenly turned ugly, “Chen Yu, I know what kind of person Fang Fang is than you, don’t get close to her anymore. You wouldn’t be able to please her”
Huang Dan’s hair dripped with water, as did his eyebrows, he blinked, “I know.”
Chen Xiaorou didn’t care whether her Didi really knew about it or was just playing it off. Because of him, she was often ridiculed by the people in the group, “Don’t come here to deliver meals to me in the future. I’ll tell mom when I get back.”
Huang Dan was happy to relax.
After leaving the art troupe, Huang Dan went back and changed his clothes. While Nie Youxiang was sleeping in the house, he secretly went to a bar frequented by the original owner. It was the largest bar in T city, and the business was always the best. There is a mix up of good and bad people, and the information can be obtained.
The original owner likes to mingle, so everyone including the boss and waiters know him.
As soon as Huang Dan entered, someone greeted him.
The bar owner embraced Huang Dan’s shoulders, his big gold teeth gleaming, “Xiao Yu, why didn’t you come last night?”
Huang Dan said that it was raining heavily and it was inconvenient.
The bar owner took him to a table, “Guys, this is Nie Wenyuan’s nephew, how about it, am I right, does he look like a girl?”
The wine bottles on the table were tilted here and there, and the men were all drunk. They said it looked like it, but they didn’t know how it felt to the touch.
Huang Dan frowned.
The bar owner laughed loudly, “You fucking dare to say that, this is Nie Wenyuan’s nephew, and you don’t want it anymore, ah?!.”
Those few people just casually said that the three words Nie Wenyuan are very intimidating, enough to make them sober, and no one will make trouble for themselves.
Huang Dan’s tense nerve endings relaxed, he thought to himself, even if the original owner’s skin was peeled off, Nie Wenyuan wouldn’t care.
The bar owner was very busy and was quickly called out by regular customers.
Huang Dan sat down in a crowded place and looked up to watch TV with them. The sound was inaudible and he could only see the picture. It was an action movie. It was so blatant that it proved there was someone behind the bar owner.
A group of people watched action movies and talked about the World Cup.
Although Huang Dan doesn’t like sports, he will watch sports reports. He hears the names of a few familiar stars, Ronaldo, Irving, Zidane, and knows that France won the championship, beat Brazil 3:0, and Ronaldo won the Golden Globe.
He ordered a bottle of beer, and kept both ears open, and the noise never stopped.
The business of this bar is good for a reason. One is that it was the first to open, and the other is that it has a good idea. Find someone who can sing and sit on the table. Others don’t know what’s going on.
When Huang Dan was distracted, the beauties on the stage changed, and the one sitting on it was a man, playing the guitar and singing Zhang Yu’s song.
“That girl is really miserable.”
A voice was caught by Huang Dan, and he immediately turned his head to listen.
“It’s not an ordinary beauty, it’s a pity.”
“Yeah, at such a young age, how tender it is, I can definitely pinch water out.”
“Nie Wenyuan had dinner with the people in the bureau, but the matter still hasn’t made any progress. If you want me to say, it’s suspended.”
“Who do you think did it?”
“Although that woman looks good, to be able to do that kind of thing, not only is extremely wicked, but also psychologically abnormal. Anyway, I can only think about it. If I really want to do it, I won’t be able to do it.”
“I don’t think it’s a matter of mental health or abnormality. There may be something hidden in it. Don’t look at that woman’s softness. When she speaks, it’s so ugly that people want to strangle her to death.”
“True or not, let’s hear it.”
“It happened last month. I can’t remember the exact date. I went to pick up my Meimei from the art troupe. That woman and her cousin, who is the eldest son of the Chen family, had a big fight. The woman said he……”
“What about him?”
The young man who spoke stood up, “I forgot, no, I need to pee urgently, let’s leave first.”
Huang Dan followed and followed all the way to the Hongxing Factory. The other party was someone from the factory and went in directly. He was stopped and had to give Nie Wenyuan’s name.
