Chapter 10 First Party

After calling Uncle De, Zhuang Rui put down his mind. At this time, he felt his stomach "cooing" and looked at the time. It was already past two o'clock in the afternoon. He was so excited that he even forgot to eat lunch.

Looking up at the window, the cold wind roared outside, and the snow was getting heavier and heavier. Zhuang Rui was not in the mood to go out to eat. He simply went to the kitchen to open the refrigerator, found a bag of frozen dumplings and put them into the pot, then peeled a few cloves of garlic and mashed them with garlic mortar

"Dingling..."

Just after Zhuang Rui finished packing up his dishes and chopsticks, he was about to continue to sort out his grandfather's letters. When he wanted to see if he could find anything good, the phone at home rang.

"Hey, wood? You boy is not authentic. I don't know how to tell my buddy after returning home for two days. Come to my store later. Let's have a drink in the evening. After that, my brother will take you to the sauna and steam it well. This damn weather is freezing to death..."

As soon as Zhuang Rui picked up the phone and put it on his ear, he heard the roar from the microphone. There is no need to ask. It must be Liu Chuan's guy. Every time he called, he roared. Last year, when he went home by himself, he was picked up by his mother. Later, he was called home by his mother

Liu Chuan's mother and Zhuang's mother are colleagues. From the third grade of primary school to the graduation of high school, they have been classmates with Zhuang Rui. One of them is impulsive, and the other is calm and heavy. No one expected that the two of them would get along so well. The elders of the two families do not treat each When he was a child, Zhuang Rui was often repaired by Liu Chuan's father, but when he met, he was still called by his godmother and godfather, and he also had a meal at Liu Chuan's house.

Liu Chuan's father was transferred from the army to the Pengcheng Public Security Bureau when Liu Chuan was eight years old. Liu Chuan, who grew up in the army compound, has a personality very similar to his father. He usually uses his fists to explain the truth. He is far less interested in learning than in the street game room.

It's strange to say that Liu Chuan and Zhuang Rui are almost inseparable from primary school to high school. Zhuang Rui spends no less time playing than Liu Chuan, but his academic performance has always been in the top of the class, and he has never fallen out of the top three, and Liu Chuan often won the third place, just counting backwards, even They were all forced to finish by the family. Judging from the relationship between the two, the words that those who are close to the ink are black and those who are close to the red are not absolute.

After graduating from high school, Liu Chuan's father found him a few jobs for him. The boy didn't work long. He either didn't like the leader or fought with his colleagues. Later, the Pengcheng flower and bird market was rebuilt. Liu Chuan, who loved to raise dogs and feed cats when he was a child, simply encouraged his family to The crimit's turtle bastard has turned up everything upside down, and he has made a lot of money in the past few years. Every day, he holds a mobile phone like a dog and drives a second-hand Toyota. No one can see that this girl is a dog.

In recent years, gambling has been prevalent in Zhonghai, Zhejiang and other places. Liu Chuan went to the countryside of Shandong to collect a lot of turpents. When he went to Zhonghai to deliver goods a few months ago, he was still crowded for a few days in the cold winter and warm summer rental house in Zhonghai Zhuangrui. According to his words

********

After hanging up the phone, Zhuang Rui left a note for his mother, put on the woolen hat knitted by his sister, took a Zhonghai cigarette in his arms, locked the door and went out. Due to the large number of people taking a taxi on a snowy day, Zhuang Rui stood by the roadside and couldn't get a taxi for a long time. He It's far away. It's only a ten-minute walk away.

Near the end of the year, although it is snowing heavily outside, there are many pedestrians on the road. Walk around and soon come to the street where the flower and bird market is located.

The flower and bird market in Pengcheng is connected to the antique market. It is divided into several areas such as pets, birds, flowers, antiques, jade, calligraphy and paintings, books, stamps, etc. There are shops for powerful merchants to rent or buy, and some enthusiasts set up stalls in the aisles on both sides of the shops, as long as they Just take care of the management fee.

Zhuang Rui has been here several times before. Every time he came, the crowd was surging and very lively. Sometimes he was too crowded to move. However, during this period, it snowed heavily for several days, and the retail investors basically did not go out of the stalls. Only a few people set up stalls under the shops with good relations, and they hi It's warmer, but much quieter than before.

Walking to Liu Chuan's pet store, Zhuang Rui found an old lady standing in front of his store. She was in her fifties. She was dressed very simple but clean. She was carrying a flower cloth in her hand, and there seemed to be a trace of sadness on her face. Zhuang Rui didn't care. He directly pushed open the door of the

Liu Chuan's pet store has about 20 square meters. When he bought it, it was only 70,000 or 80,000 yuan. Now if he takes action, someone will rush for 300,000 yuan. This is only four or five years, which shows how much the house price has risen.

Several cages placed sparsely in the pet store are empty. It's almost the Spring Festival. Coupled with the heavy snowfall for days, it is estimated that he is not in the mood to do business. The stove was burned in the room, and the temperature was as high as 27 or 28 degrees. When he entered the store, Zhuang Rui immediately felt the

Liu Chuan pouted his buttocks at the computer and didn't know what he was doing. He heard the glass door ringing and didn't raise his head. He shouted, "The store is out of stock. Tell me what you want first and come back to get it after the Spring Festival."

"Do you have a general? I want one..."

Zhuang Rui joked that the last time Liu Chuan went to Shanghai, he whispered in his ear for several days, saying that when he was collecting chanttles in Shandong, he went a few days late, and a general was taken away by others. At that time, he looked more depressed than his wife was robbed.

"General? I also want... Shit, it's your boy, sitting and smoking, and I'll finish playing this plate..."

When Liu Chuan saw that it was Zhuang Rui, he threw a pack of cigarettes. Zhuang Rui leaned over and couldn't help laughing and cried. This guy was actually playing the game of Super Mary, an antique game. It was rare for this guy to play with relish.

"D, it hasn't been cleared yet. I said you boy, you won't come to my report when you come back. If I hadn't talked about it, I wouldn't know it until now. I heard from you that you were shot some time ago. Are you okay? I'll take a look, I'll see..." Liu Chuan threw away his game handle and came to Zhuang Rui. After grabbing the cigarette in Zhuang Rui's hand, he insisted on the wound on the back of his head.

"It's not so delicate. The injury is almost fine. It's still your boy's comfortable. If I had known that I didn't go to college, how good it would be to work with you. I've used the computer. I didn't see it. You're following the trend."

Zhuang Rui lit a cigarette, pushed Liu Chuan's hand away, and lay on the sofa in the store. He was not very addicted to smoking. He only smoked one when he was in a good mood or depressed. Sometimes he couldn't finish a pack of cigarettes in four or five days.

"If you don't go to college, I'm afraid even I can't forgive you. On the way, my mother said that you have no conscience and didn't go home to see her when you came. Why do you talk so much when this man retired? I just couldn't stand it, so I came to the store."

Liu Chuan first poured a lot of bitter water, and then his eyes lit up. He said, "Just quit your job and continue to work. Maybe you will die one day. Seriously, brother, come and work with me. I haven't been together for a few years, and I don't feel tired of anything. Your brain is better than me. You This line guarantees that our store will be the only one in Pengcheng.
