The shop assistant put some beef, tendon, and tripe for Jiang Huai, and put the plastic bowl on the electronic scale, “Can 37 do?”
Jiang Huai said, “Yes.”
Buying things outside is like this most of the time. You say how much you want, whether it is intentionally or undoubtedly, the boss will only give you more, not less. Some people are serious people, and a little more will not work. That’s all.
Some people think that more is more, and it doesn’t matter.
For example, Jiang Huai.
For business, it can sell more to customers like him.
The shop assistant weighed the value of the salt-baked chicken, took it to the cutting board, put on disposable gloves and sliced it for him.
Afterward another shop assistant asked Jiang Huai if he wanted to add spices, then he quickly mixed Fuqi feipian, minced garlic, coriander, peanuts, spicy oil and other seasonings.
Jiang Huai stood aside and waited, and the people behind him came up and ordered what they wanted to buy.
On the other side, Huang Dan looked at tiger skin chicken feet and beef through the glass. He glanced at the queue, and gave up the idea of buying a few chicken feet, and walked around to Jiang Huai side.
With his hands in his pockets, Jiang Huai was looking at the vehicle lazily, and a figure appeared in his vision. He tilted his head and turned a blind eye.
Huang Dan said, “Your phone is turned on normally.”
Jiang Huai ignored him.
Huang Dan said, “I searched the address of the repair shop on the internet. I will take the phone over in the afternoon, and ask how long it will take to replace a screen.”
“If it can be replaced in two days, then you…”
The shop assistant shouted, Jiang Huai went over, reached out and took away his two bags.
Huang Dan didn’t finish speaking and pursed his lips.
Jiang Huai did not return to the community, but went another way.
Huang Dan just came from that road, and the mung bean paste in the small shop was sold out. The boss said that it would be available tomorrow morning, so he had to buy two mung bean popsicles.
Stepping on a rotten vegetable leaf, Huang Dan rubbed it off on the side of the steps, and continued to follow the man.
The road is dirty and the air is stale.
On the right side of the road is the outer wall of the community, on the left side is a row of shops, there are supermarkets, small shops, hardware stores, selling dry goods, and further back, there are stalls all selling vegetables.
The original owner cooked by himself, so there are many memory fragments of this road.
Huang Dan learned from the memory of the original owner that every morning, many vegetable vendors without stalls gathered on the side of the road, some carrying snakeskin bags, riding tricycles, and some driving trucks.
Fruits and vegetables, poultry and fish, everything is sold, and they all are a little cheaper than the stalls.
The original owner lived a fine life. He would get up early to buy vegetables and put them in the refrigerator, then cook them in the evening when he came back. A dime less and all feel cheap itself.
However, as soon as the city management’s vehicle appeared, the vendors collected the goods skillfully and slipped away quickly.
Huang Dan’s thoughts came back.
He saw the man walk into the small supermarket and buy a dozen cans of Cordon Bleu.
Jiang Huai walked back, and when he passed the young man, he sneered, “You like to follow people so much?”
Huang Dan said that he did not follow up, “I haven’t made it clear about the mobile phone.”
Jiang Huai kept walking, “Even if the phone is replaced with a new screen, it can be used normally, but it also reduces its lifespan. To me, it is a waste. I will not want it again. You can do whatever you want. I only need 3,000 bucks.”
He squinted, “Is there anything else to say?”
Huang Dan said, “No more.”
Suddenly there was a clear and crisp “jingle bell” sound, Huang Dan searched for sound then looked at the man’s trouser pocket, why didn’t it vibrate?
Jiang Huai didn’t respond at all.
Huang Dan reminded, “The phone in your pocket is ringing.”
Jiang Huai’s face darkened suddenly, he thought it was a passerby’s mobile phone. He was still thinking, who knows who is the idiot who set the ringtone on the phone, and didn’t answer it when it rang.
Huang Dan looked up, and the man’s expression was ugly, as if he had just realized. He might have accidentally pressed something to change his originally set ringtone.
It’s also possible that there’s something wrong with the phone.
Jiang Huai freed his hand to get the Nokia, he went to the side to answer the phone, and handed over a few bags in his hand, “Help me carry it.”
Huang Dan reached out to hold it, “Why?”
Jiang Huai said with a tense jaw, “I have something to do and leave for a moment, you wait for me here, I will be back soon.”
He said soon, but when he came back, it was already past twelve noon.
The sun at this point is so strong that the scalps of people who are exposed to the sun are hot. There is no wind at all, and it is hot and stuffy. There are only a few people on this small road, which is in sharp contrast to the busy pedestrians and vehicles on the main road at the intersection.
Jiang Huai frowned and stood in place, looking towards the other side of the road, but there was no figure of the young man within his sight range.
Went back early.
Thinking about it, it’s summer, who would take the words of unfamiliar people seriously, and really stay in the sun, not stupid.
Just as Jiang Huai was about to leave, he heard shouts from behind him. He turned around and saw the young man coming out of the small shop, still holding a few of his bags.
Huang Dan went over to the man, “Didn’t you say you would just go away for a while and come back soon? Why has it taken so long?”
Jiang Huai was stunned, “So you didn’t go back?”
Huang Dan nodded, “Umm.”
In fact, he forgot the time.
There is an electric fan and a TV in the small shop. Huang Dan sits on a small bamboo chair, and he and the old man each have mung bean popsicles. The two of them eat while watching TV, chatting occasionally, and it is noon before they know it.
Huang Dan was about to go back to the community, he greeted the old man, and as soon as he came out, he saw the man not far away.
After a brief silence, Jiang Huai looked at the young man with the gaze of a fool, “I am neither a relative nor a friend to you, is it necessary for you to be so obedient?”
Huang Dan gave up on panic and had no choice but to settle down on his own, “We are roommates.”
“Roommate?”
Jiang Huai sneered, “Okay, roommate, give me the bag.”
The right hand that stretched out was wide, and there was a cut in the web between forefinger and thumb. Inside the flesh was blood mixed with cement-like things. Huang Dan stared at it, lost in thought, is there a construction site nearby?
The bag in his hand was snatched away, Huang Dan came back to his senses, and the man left him with the back of his head.
Jiang Huai took big steps and quickly left Huang Dan behind.
Huang Dan climbed up the stairs, the door was open, he wiped the sweat off his brow, his stomach ached from hunger.
The rental house was filled with the smell of oily smoke, mixed with the smell of scrambled eggs with leeks, all coming from the first room.
Through the wide-open door, Huang Dan saw the furnishings in the room. The bed was placed next to Ah Yu, with a wall in between. No wonder Ah Yu could hear clearly.
The cooking was done on a long wooden board, filled with bottles, pots and pans, and a row of thick winter clothes hung on the wall, which smelled of oily smoke. There were so many things in the whole room that it seemed crowded.
Wang Hai was busy working on the induction cooker, and Chen Qingqing was also standing beside. They hadn’t eaten their lunch yet.
Huang Dan smelled the aroma and felt even more hungry.
Don’t know what’s going on today, lunch is quite late.
The master bedroom also smelled of oily smoke, Li Aiguo was cooking, and Zhang Jie hadn’t come back yet.
Huang Dan heard Li Aiguo answered the phone, it should be from a female tenant, and he said something, “Xiao mei, I see, can you see if this works, I will go over in the afternoon to see if the TV can be fixed, if it can’t be fixed, I’ll change one for you, it should, don’t worry.”
Li Aiguo’s attitude and tone are very good.
Huang Dan went back to his room and poured himself a glass of water, gulped it down, half dead.
He took an apple from the bag and went to the bathroom to wash it off.
Jiang Huai was tinkering with the rice cooker, and didn’t know what was wrong, when suddenly a voice came from outside the door, he was startled, and cursed with a dark face, “Fuck!”
Throwing away the screwdriver, Jiang Huai wrinkled his brows, “What are you doing standing at the door?”
Huang Dan said, “I have a rice cooker over there.”
He took a bite of the apple, and his voice was muffled, “I can give you to use.”
More than an hour later, Huang Dan took his bowl and chopsticks and sat opposite Jiang Huai.
On the table are salt-baked chicken, Fuqi feipian, beer, steaming white rice, and a plate of green vegetables.
Huang Dan ate the steamed rice bit by bit.
Jiang Huai leaned his head back on the back of the chair, with his legs resting on the head of the bed. He drank beer and smoked a cigarette. He didn’t eat any food. He seemed to be thinking about something, a little lost in thought.
Huang Dan stretched out his chopsticks and picked up two thin pieces of beef into the bowl. The white rice was covered with a layer of chili oil, which looked very appetizing.
He lowered his head and put it in his mouth, and asked casually, “How much does your house cost per month?”
Jiang Huai said, “One thousand.”
Huang Dan swallowed the food in his mouth, it was three hundred more expensive than the rent of his room, and the difference could be seen with eyes.
Sure enough, you get what you pay for.
Second-hand furniture is also divided into new and old.
The Simmons bed of Huang Dan is very old, the head of the bed is dirty and black, and there are several pieces sunken in the middle. It is very uneven, and it feels terrible when he sleeps at night.
Look at Jiang Huai’s tan double wooden bed again, which is very wide and can roll a few times on the bed. It must be very comfortable to lie on, and the bed is short so that it won’t hurt if you fall.
So far, Huang Dan has never seen Zhao Fuxiang’s room, nor Zhang Jie’s master bedroom.
However, the room where Zhao Fuxiang lived was separated from Ah Yu’s living room, and the layout of the two rooms was exactly the same, so Huang Dan was more curious about the master bedroom.
Bang——
Jiang Huai casually threw the empty beer can in his hand on the ground, took another can and pulled it. He took a sip of beer and played with the griphook.
The next moment, the griphook was also thrown out by Jiang Huai.
Huang Dan doesn’t like to eat chicken, he didn’t touch the salt-baked chicken, he only ate the Fuqi feipian, “I’ll tell you something.”
Jiang Huai turned sideways, brought the ashtray over, took the cigarette from his mouth, and put a pinch of ash into the ashtray. Why is this brat so annoying? even food can’t stop his mouth?
Huang Dan ate the coriander in the bowl, “I suspect that someone is peeping recently.”
Jiang Huai smiled with a cigarette in his mouth, “Isn’t that you?”
Huang Dan, “……”
He said seriously, “It’s not me.”
Jiang Huai smoked, “Peeping, I only saw one, and that is you.”
Huang Dan put down the bowl and chopsticks, frowned and said, “It’s really not me, it’s someone else.”
“So what?”
Jiang Huai put the can on the table, and glanced coldly, his eyes were sharp and penetrating, “What do you want to hear from me? Huh?”
Huang Dan said, “I don’t know anyone very well.”
Jiang Huai smoked, “I’m even less familiar with you.”
Huang Dan said, “There is not only money between us, but we also had dinner together.”
Jiang Huai put out the cigarette, and when it came to eating, he became upset and irritable. He took the brat’s rice cooker to cook, and the other party stood beside him. God knows what happened, and he looked very pitiful.
Compassion is something that Jiang Huai should not have.
Seeing the man was silent, Huang Dan continued, “Didn’t you notice?”
Jiang Huai said, “I noticed.”
“I shouldn’t have asked you to come over for a meal.” He picked up the salt-baked chicken and said, “Don’t need to eat the chicken.”
Huang Dan asked, “Is it sour?”
Jiang Huai said, “Salty.”
The corner of Huang Dan’s mouth twitched, knowing that the man was ridiculing him, and he said, “This is salt-baked chicken, it should be salty.”
Jiang Huai, “……”
Huang Dan said, “That house’s Bang Bang Chicken breast is delicious.”
Jiang Huai held the can tightly, “If you say one more word, I will……”
Huang Dan interrupted the man, “I know, just let me cry and call Dad.”
He sighed, “But I still have to say, I don’t have any other suitable people to talk to except you.”
Jiang Huai drank two sips of beer, picked up the chopsticks to pick up peanuts,but his right hand seemed to be injured. He tried several times, but none of them picked.
Huang Dan picked up an accurate one, and he picked up more than a dozen peanuts in an instant.
The veins on Jiang Huai’s forehead throbbed.
Huang Dan didn’t care about the low air pressure on the man, he pushed up his glasses, “There is a pair of eyes in this rental house.”
Jiang Huai glanced at him, “Two pairs.”
The implication is that the peepers wear specs and have four eyes.
Huang Dan was speechless, “I said you misunderstood what happened that day, but you still don’t believe it?”
Jiang Huai said, “Don’t believe it.”
Huang Dan, “……”
He recalled that the time in the supermarket was indeed like peeping, and the next two times, it was also a bit like.
Jiang Huai looked critically, “Even if what you said is true, the person who wants to peep should be a beautiful woman, such as Ah Yu, such as Chen Qingqing, not a guy like you who has nothing to look at.”
Huang Dan ignored the man’s ridicule, “Yes, I suspect, those eyes are spying on all of us.”
Jiang Huai crushed the can, “Move out.”
Huang Dan was taken aback.
Jiang Huai rolled his eyes, “Since you doubt it, then move out, what are you still doing here?”
Huang Dan can’t move. If he is moved from here, how can he find out the voyeur and complete the task in this world?
His silence, in the eyes of others, is self-contradictory.
Isn’t it funny to suspect that someone is peeping, but refuse to move?
“Brat, this joke is not funny at all.”
Jiang Huai issued an order to evict the guest with a cold face, and said, “You can leave.”
Huang Dan left with his bowl and chopsticks, knocked on the door and came in, put two bandages on the TV cabinet, “Thank you for inviting me to lunch.”
He came out of Jiang Huai’s room and met Ah Yu who had finished using the bathroom.
Ah Yu asked why Huang Dan was at Jiang Huai’s place.
Huang Dan told the truth.
Hearing this, Ah Yu showed a surprised emotion, which was fleeting. She opened the door and invited Huang Dan in, “Today is a good day. One of my colleagues and three old customers all have birthdays today, and so is Jiang Huai.”
Huang Dan’s brows twitched, Ah Yu even knew Jiang Huai’s birthday?
Ah Yu guessed Huang Dan’s doubts at this time, “I picked up his wallet in the corridor. At that time, in order to check the information of the missing person, I opened the wallet and looked at the ID inside.”
Huang Dan said, “You remember it after seeing it once?”
Ah Yu unwrapped a pack of three squirrels’ crab roe-flavored melon seeds, and gave some to Huang Dan, “I have a very good memory.”
The color of memory appeared in her eyes, “When I was in school, I only needed to read a text two or three times, and I could recite it completely without forgetting it.”
Huang Dan eats melon seeds. Ah Yu is only 20 years old, and she has already taken over the breath of society. She is like an old Jianghu who came up from the bottom. She has completely lost the innocence and childishness unique to this age, and she has no longing for the future or enthusiasm for life.
All she has is heavy makeup, bright red high heels, skills in dealing with guests, and exhaustion that will never go away.
Ah Yu said, “I didn’t study any further after finishing junior high school.”
Huang Dan asked, “Why?”
Ah Yu shrugged, “Why else, of course it’s because I don’t like to study.”
Huang Dan said, “Your memory is very good, so your grades should be good.”
Ah Yu’s tone seemed to be talking about someone who had nothing to do with her, “First in grade.”
Huang Dan, “……”
Ah Yu said, “My family hoped that I would be the first in the exam, so I passed the exam.”
Huang Dan lost his expression. This time, Ah Yu mentioned her family to him, and he collected clues while listening.
“Then I didn’t want to go along with them.”
Ah Yu said lightly, “My life should be the life I want to pursue.”
She poured melon seeds to Huang Dan again, “So after I was sure I hated studying, I stopped going to school.”
Huang Dan lost his appetite and said no more, he looked at the woman in front of him, “What you are doing now……”
“Why?” Ah Yu’s tone became colder, “I’m also selling my labor, don’t look at me with sympathy, I don’t feel sorry for myself.”
Huang Dan thought for a while and said, “Do you need money at home?”
Ah Yu couldn’t laugh or cry, “Lin Yi, you don’t think that my job is forced. I have a relative who is seriously ill and needs a lot of medical expenses. I owe a lot of money and I have to support my didi and meimei, and have to come out and sell my body?”
She shook her head, “Life is not a TV series, where do so many stories come from?”
Huang Dan didn’t speak.
Ah Yu turned to pour water, “I’m just lazy.”
She raised her head to drink water, and wiped the water from her mouth with the back of her hand, “I have done a lot of work over the years, and found that this line of work is the easiest, and I can earn money while lying down, and the earning is more than that of many hard-working people.”
Easy?
Huang Dan’s eyes swept across the woman. Her skin was very fair, but the knees of her legs had thick crusts, which were caused by kneeling on the ground for a long time. Not only that, there were a few bruises on her arms that were just added, green, very eye-catching, there are also on the neck, all left by the guests.
Ah Yu saw Huang Dan’s thoughts, and said with a disapproving expression, “Money doesn’t come with strong winds, there is always a price to pay.”
She joked, “It’s just a skin injury. You often stay up late and work overtime, which is much more serious than my industry. Pay more attention to your health.”
Huang Dan, “……”
Everyone has secrets, he has it, and Ah Yu has it too.
Ah Yu said, “Jiang Huai’s birthday is today, if you eat with him, it’s like celebrating his birthday with him.”
Huang Dan was stunned.
Ah Yu said, “That time I saw a black and white photo in Jiang Huai’s wallet, which showed a young man and woman and a little boy. It should be him and his family.”
She said unhurriedly, “If the family is around, they won’t put black and white photos that are so dull that you can’t see their faces clearly, and there is a photo of the orphanage on the mezzanine, which is also black and white. The boy stood with many children, and behind the photo were crooked words, saying ‘Mom and Dad, I miss you’.”
Ah Yu pulled out the black headband around his wrist, and neatly tied up his long hair, “Jiang Huai is an orphan.”
“He kept the photos. There are two possibilities. One is that both his parents have passed away, and the other is that he has separated from his parents.”
Huang Dan squeezed his fingers, this woman is very smart.
Ah Yu said, “So I think Jiang Huai’s birthday is today, and he should very much hope that someone can eat with him and act as his parents.”
Huang Dan understands.
No wonder the man called him over.
At around three o’clock in the afternoon, Huang Dan took the bus, then transferred to the subway, took Jiang Huai’s mobile phone to the city, and looked for a repair shop according to the address he wrote down from the internet.
After Huang Dan left, the rental house was very noisy.
Chen Qingqing was dancing a square dance in the room, and “On the Moon” was playing on the stereo.
She was wearing a Y-shaped white vest on her upper body, which was a bit see-through, and the blue undergarment could be seen, even the lace edges were faintly visible. The lower body was a pair of gray sports shorts, showing two thick legs.
Chen Qingqing’s fine hair is well developed, and the hair on her arms and legs is thick but slender, lying tightly on the skin, and it can be combed with a comb.
Wang Hai bought hair removal products for her, but Chen Qingqing never used them, still said that he was despising her.
The two quarreled, and Wang Hai never mentioned this matter again.
Chen Qingqing sang and danced, sweating profusely.
Wang Hai, who stayed up late last night to change the design drawings, just fell asleep when he was woken up by the singing. He turned over on the bed and said in a negotiating tone, “Qingqing, can you turn down the sound of the system?”
Chen Qingqing turned left, turned right, raised her left leg, and then her right leg, “I can’t hear clearly when I turn it down, so how can I dance?”
Wang Hai turned from left to right, and from right to left. He sat up and scratched his hair, “I can’t sleep if you are loud like this.”
Chen Qingqing gasped and said, “Then don’t sleep, if you sleep during the day, you won’t be able to sleep at night.”
Wang Hai yawned, “Okay, I won’t sleep anymore.”
He went out to wash his face and came back feeling more refreshed, so he leaned against Chen Qingqing.
Chen Qingqing’s body is not drenched, but it’s not dry either. Her chest heaves up and down due to exercise, her white vest is wet, and her curves are a bit seductive.
Wang Hai massaged her arm, “Honey, give me a kiss tonight.”
Chen Qingqing immediately refused, “No.”
Wang Hai put his arms around her waist and said aggrievedly, “You haven’t kissed me for a long time.”
Chen Qingqing pushed Wang Hai away and continued to dance with the lead dancer in the video, “Didn’t I just kiss you last time?”
“Last time? It happened half a year ago.”
Wang Hai pushed her sweaty hair back to her shoulders, “At that time, I made an appointment with you more than a month in advance before you agreed.”
“Why do you want to kiss?” Chen Qingqing’s face was full of disgust, “It is dirty to death! okay?”
She stopped and gasped, “Which woman is willing to kiss a man nowadays? That is to say, I am willing to kiss you, but still can’t satisfy you.”
Wang Hai sighed and said, “Then don’t kiss.”
“Look at you, it’s as if you can become immortal with just one kiss.” Chen Qingqing fanned air with her hands, “Let’s talk next time, when I have time.”
Wang Hai agreed, and kissed Chen Qingqing.
Chen Qingqing hid back, “There is a smell of leeks in my mouth, it smells so bad.”
Wang Hai didn’t have any objection, he just kissed her twice on the face, “Honey, can we do it now?”
Chen Qingqing said no, “Didn’t you see I was dancing just now? I’m so exhausted that I don’t have any energy left.”
She leaned on the computer table, turned off the video, and changed to another, “Besides, you only need a few minutes at a time, and I find it troublesome to take off and put on clothes.”
“It’s a hot day, and the body is sticky, so don’t bother.”
Wang Hai lowered his eyelids, “I’ll go out for a while.”
Chen Qingqing felt dissatisfied with the video, so she went to find others, and asked without looking back, “Where are you going?”
Wang Hai said he was going to buy something.
Chen Qingqing remembered something, “Wash the sheets before leaving.”
Wang Hai sat at the head of the bed, took out his sneakers and put them on, “Come back and wash them.”
Chen Qingqing said no, it must be washed now, “There are several oil stains on it, if you don’t wash it, will it leave?”
Wang Hai loosened the shoelaces, “Then you wash it.”
Chen Qingqing smashed the mouse on the table and knocked over the water glass, but she didn’t care, she lost her temper and yelled, “Surname Wang, do you have any conscience? I had a miscarriage because of you. Let you wash the sheets, you don’t even want to do that!”
Wang Hai immediately took a rag to wipe the water on the table. Some design drawings and printed materials were wet. He picked them up and put them on the ground one by one.
In the next second, Wang Hai grabbed all the design drawings and materials, tore them up and threw them out. He kicked the foot of the bed vigorously, looking ferocious, “Make trouble, Chen Qingqing, keep making trouble.”
Chen Qingqing was frightened.
After a moment of dead silence, Chen Qingqing cried aggrievedly, she cried and said, “I didn’t do it on purpose.”
Wang Hai stood by the bed, “Yes, you didn’t do it on purpose, but it happens every time.”
Chen Qingqing raised her voice, “Surname Wang, what do you mean? What are you doing, weirdly?”
Wang Hai was silent.
When a person is angry, his mind is in a mess, he can say whatever comes out, and he can’t control his mouth at all.
Chen Qingqing talked countless times about a boss she met when she was working in a beauty salon, saying that she had a lot of choices, “If the boss wasn’t old, how would I be with you then?”
She was hysterical, “Surname Wang, you must have a conscience. Since I followed you, did I have a good day? For you, I even lost my job and took out my previous savings to buy clothes for you. What else do you want?
Wang Hai’s eyes were red.
“Don’t cry in front of me.” Chen Qingqing pointed at the door, crying out of breath, “Get lost.”
Wang Hai opened the door and went out.
When Huang Dan came back from the city, he found that Wang Hai’s empress dowager was mopping the floor for the first time, and the sun didn’t come out from the west today.
“Wang Hai isn’t present?”
Chen Qingqing heard the voice behind her, she put the mop aside, turned her head and said, “He has gone out.”
“Oh.”
Huang Dan noticed that Chen Qingqing’s eyes were a little red, she had cried, the two of them must have quarreled, and Wang Hai must have been kicked out.
He left at an untimely time, otherwise he could still have some information, and he could even have a heart-to-heart talk with Wang Hai.
Chen Qingqing removed the hair from her forehead, “Lin Yi, I heard from Wang Hai that you are also from City Y, and we are fellow villagers.”
Huang Dan said, “Yes.”
Chen Qingqing hinted to the next door, “I’ve heard your voice in her room these two days, You two are not together, are you?”
Huang Dan shook his head and said, “She and I are just friends.”
Chen Qingqing looked surprised, “Friend?”
She whispered, “Do you know what kind of women don’t go out during the day, show off their fancy clothes at seven or eight o’clock in the evening, and come back in the middle of the night?”
Huang Dan said, “What are you referring to?”
Chen Qingqing lowered her voice, “Escort.”
Huang Dan didn’t speak.
Chen Qingqing thought he didn’t believe it, “The woman has injuries on several exposed parts. It looks like it was left when she did that kind of thing. Lin Yi, I reminded you just because everyone is a fellow.”
“It’s very dirty to be in that line of work, have to accompany a dozen or twenty customers a day, and don’t know how many diseases they have. You should worry about it.”
Huang Dan couldn’t help thinking, if Chen Qingqing found out that Wang Hai was looking for a girl outside, would she knock off the roof of the rental house? Maybe kill.
Now that the two had a quarrel, Chen Qingqing was still in the mood to gossip about other people.
It seems to be sure that Wang Hai will come back obediently.
When it was getting dark, Wang Hai came back with the vegetables he bought and some fruits in his hand.
Huang Dan’s door was open, and he didn’t peep through the crack of the door, instead he just sat on a chair drinking water and stared blatantly.
Wang Hai knocked on the door and went in.
After a while, Huang Dan saw Wang Hai coming out to wash the rice with the inner pot of the rice cooker. He was busy cooking as usual. Chen Qingqing talked and laughed with him, and couldn’t see any discomfort between the two of them.
Around seven o’clock, Zhao Fuxiang brought back a girl who looked younger than Ah Yu and probably had just come of age.
The girl clings to Zhao Fuxiang, wrapping her slender arms around his fat waist, and with the other hand, she molds his beer belly.
When they got to the door, the girl’s shoelaces were loose, and Zhao Fuxiang squatted down to tie them for her.
Huang Dan felt that this girl seemed to be different from the previous ones. Zhao Fuxiang seemed to be serious and wanted to have a serious relationship with others.
At half past seven, Ah Yu went to work.
When it was almost eight o’clock, Li Aiguo and Zhang Jie came back. One of the couple went to walk the little black dog, and the other went to prepare dinner.
There was no movement in Jiang Huai’s house, Huang Dan went to knock on the door, but there was no response from inside.
Zhao Fuxiang opened the door, “Don’t knock, the person living in this house are near the textile market.”
Huang Dan was stunned. What is Jiang Huai doing there? He doesn’t need to go there to buy himself a birthday cake, there is a cake shop opposite the complex.
Zhao Fuxiang coughed twice, “Little brother, do you have that thing?”
Huang Dan asked, “Which?”
Zhao Fuxiang said, “Condom.”
Huang Dan said, “I don’t even have a girlfriend, how could there be such a thing?”
“You pure kid has grown so big.”
Zhao Fuxiang laughed out loud as if he had heard a big joke, “Whether you have a girlfriend or not is not the same as whether you have a condom or not.”
Huang Dan found that Zhao Fuxiang had a heavy tone.
It was not easy for that girl, as well as the previous girls, to stay with each other.
Huang Dan couldn’t help thinking of Ah Yu.
He went back to the house, took out the blue glasses cloth from the box, wiped the lens carefully, put it on the bridge of the nose again, and went out with a little change.
The Textile Market is on the left side of the complex, just walk past two traffic lights.
When Huang Dan got there, he had an extra piece of pineapple in his hand. While eating, he looked around, scanning back and forth.
Zhao Fuxiang said that Jiang Huai is nearby, maybe he has left now.
Huang Dan finished eating pineapples on the side of the road, and threw the bamboo sticks into the trash can. Among the people in the rental house, he was more curious about Jiang Huai than Ah Yu, and he always felt that the breakthrough point of this mission was on the other side.
There was a sudden shout from the bus station, “Catch the thief—”
Huang Dan looked around, and saw a man squeezed out from the crowd on the station, running fast, and in a blink of an eye, he ran to the opposite side of the road and turned into an alley.
The man was obviously a veteran and knew the terrain around him like the back of his hand.
The incident happened suddenly, and everyone including Huang Dan didn’t react, and the thief disappeared.
A tall figure appeared from the left across the road and chased into the alley.
The figure flitted across Huang Dan’s pupils, leaving heavy marks, and he quickened his pace to cross the road and into the alley.
Not long after running, Huang Dan heard the sound of fighting coming from inside. He ran over quickly and saw the man grab the thief with his backhand and press him against the wall with skillful movements.
Jiang Huai called, and soon the police came to detain the thief and returned the stolen mobile phone to the owner.
The owner was a top-notch beauty, she kept thanking Jiang Huai, and said that she would leave her phone number and invite him to dinner.
Jiang Huai’s attitude was very cold, to the point of rejecting others, as if he wasn’t responsible for the brave act just now.
The beauty was a little embarrassed, it was probably the first time she met a person of the opposite sex who didn’t appreciate it, “Thank you very much.”
She said gratefully, “Da Gege, if it weren’t for you, my mobile phone would be gone.”
Jiang Huai twitched his lips, “Student, don’t call inconsiderately, I’m old enough to be your uncle.”
The beauty was not only embarrassed, but also very helpless. Her face was flushed, and she squeezed out a smile and said, “I can’t tell.”
Jiang Huai said, “That’s because your eyesight is bad.”
He glanced at the young man beside him, “You should learn from this little Gege and find a pair of glasses at an optical shop.”
The beauty couldn’t stay any longer this time, so she left disappointed.
Huang Dan didn’t go away, and watched the man talk to the police about the process, nothing unusual.
Jiang Huai lit a cigarette, squinted his eyes and took a puff, “Why are you here?”
Huang Dan gasped.
Jiang Huai squinted, “You’re gasping so much, did you run all the way here?”
He tsk-tsk, “You are young and in such poor health because you lack exercise.”
Huang Dan nodded, “Yes.”
The original owner was an otaku, and the only time he exercised was watching movies in front of the computer.
Huang Dan’s sight swept to the man’s hand holding the cigarette, and there was a Band-Aid on the web between forefinger and thumb, the one he gave at noon.
Jiang Huai patted the ash that fell on his chest, “The society is very chaotic, and some people just don’t have any sense of safety.”
“The zippers on the bag on that beauty’s back were all open. She was too busy showing her charm in front of me, but she didn’t realize it.”
Huang Dan said, “Why didn’t you say anything?”
Jiang Huai touched his teeth with the tip of his tongue, “It’s useless to talk to the brainless.”
This man is righteous, but also indifferent.
Huang Dan noted down this information.
When crossing the road, Huang Dan was walking in front, and suddenly a white car came from the left, and the direction was his position.
At that moment, he didn’t move and forgot everything.
In the blink of an eye, the back clothes of Huang Dan were grabbed by a big hand. He was dragged away from the place by that force, and the man’s growling sounded beside his ears, “Why the fuck are you running around? Can’t you see a car coming? ah!”
Jiang Huai knew very well that the owner of the car was at fault for driving on the sidewalk, either drunk driving or insanity.
But he didn’t know what was going on, and this sentence just popped out of his mouth.
At this moment, Jiang Huai’s first reaction was a headache, and his second reaction was a heartache. Afterwards, he realized that all the bones in his body were aching.
This kind of accident occurred, and Huang Dan was still in shock.
There is a saying that is true, you never know what will happen in the next second.
The car crashed into the flower bed, causing people around to watch.
The traffic police came to inquire about the situation, and after another inspection, they found out that the owner of the car was drunk and drove, so they took him away.
Huang Dan slowed down. He looked around and found that the man was squatting on the ground. Something was wrong, so he walked over and asked, “Aren’t you leaving?”
Jiang Huai closed his eyes tightly, and a drop of cold sweat dripped from his eye, “You go first.”
His voice was hoarse, his breathing was chaotic, and it appeared to be difficult to breathe.
Huang Dan did not leave, but squatted down and said, “Are you all right?”
“What can happen to Laozi?” Jiang Huai’s mood was irritable, “I told you to go, didn’t you hear? Are you deaf?”
Huang Dan said, “Let’s go together.”
Jiang Huai couldn’t walk, his legs were weak, and his heart was beating violently, which was after being extremely frightened.
