I have a Secret
Chapter 56
The car left the station, it was already past 04:30, and it was about to dawn.
When he returned, he was still driving with a yellow card, and the passenger seat next to him was not empty, and a man was sitting in it.
Not long ago, through Zhang Yao's introduction, Huang Dan knew the man's name was Qi Feng.
It is not the wind of wind and rain, but the harvest, Zhang Yao told Huang Dan at that time.
Huang Dan turned the steering wheel and turned into the road that was no longer smooth. The original owner would help out at the small shop at noon and night. There were many workers coming in and out every day, as well as nearby farmers, local people passing by, the company's boss and employees, It stands to reason that he should not be able to remember who is who, but Huang Dan actually dug up a fragment about Qi Feng from his memory.
It may be that the heroic and resolute face is mixed in the crowd, which will appear more abrupt.
Huang Dan turned on the turn signal, and a beam of light passed by the front of the car. He frowned, recalling the things Zhang Yao had said to him.
There is no spark of love between handsome men and beautiful women, only a meeting carefully arranged by God.
When Zhang Yao was about to pick up the ticket, she touched her pocket and found that the phone was gone. She immediately turned around to look for it, and ran into Qi Feng who was waiting for the owner.
After getting on the train, Zhang Yao saw Qi Feng again in the carriage, and after asking casually, she realized that the other party was going to City J as well, and they were in the same carriage, and the seats were still together.
For a long-distance bus in the early ten hours, the sleeper cost more than 200 yuan. Zhang Yao couldn't bear the money, so she bought a hard seat.
The road was very stuffy, Zhang Yao was motion sick, and she also fainted on the train. Every time she found a seat and sat down, she would just sleep on her stomach. There was no place to lie down, so she would sleep on her back, waiting for the train to arrive with a haggard face.
The person sitting next to me today is not considered a stranger, he has already had a simple contact, so Zhang Yao stayed up, looking for topics to chat with the other party.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Yao knew that she and Qi Feng went to the same place, and also knew that the other party was working on the construction site.
Qi Feng had just brought a group of workers over from his hometown to work on the project, so Zhang Yao, who only came to the small shop during the holidays, had never seen him.
These coincidences add up to an urban love story.
Huang Dan's thoughts were disturbed by a wisp of smoke, his peripheral vision swept away, and the spark near the man's mouth flickered in his vision.
He has sorted out all the information that Zhang Yao told Huang Dan before, and picked out a few useful clues from it. First, this man is a foreman who just came to J City not long ago. Second, he worked on the construction site near the small shop Live, three, smoked only twelve packs of Nanjing, which shows that life is not a style of extravagance.
The small shop was stolen, and the suspect has not yet been identified.
Based on the experience of the past three tasks, Huang Dan judged that it was not done by one person, but by a group of people. The people on the construction site hated it the most. Of course, other possibilities cannot be ruled out.
For the second time, he turned his peripheral vision to the man in the passenger seat, thoughtfully.
The shop was stolen last night. The man left City J just this morning. He said he was visiting relatives in City N and came back after lunch.
Huang Dan learned about this from Zhang Yao.
Qi Feng noticed something, he spoke with a cigarette in his mouth, his voice was hoarse when he spoke, "You don't mind?"
Huang Dan said, "Xiaoyao gets carsick."
Qi Feng didn't say anything, he just took two puffs of the cigarette and moved his fingers to put it out.
Zhang Yao in the back seat didn't make a sound. After she opened the car door and got in, she put her backpack on her lap, leaned against the back of the seat, and closed her eyes tightly, looking like she was struggling.
The car was quiet, the air-conditioning was not turned on, and the hot wind was blowing in from the window frantically, making it unbearably hot.
Huang Dan parked his car and waited for the red light, when he heard the sound from the back seat, Zhang Yao vomited.
The motion sickness is so severe that I only have three days off, but I still have to take a long-distance bus to come here. It takes more than 20 hours on the road to and fro, and I suffer.
Zhang Yao knew that she was motion sick, so she must always have a roll of garbage bags in her bag. Once she felt uncomfortable in her stomach, she would quickly grab a bag and hold it in her hand, so as not to be too late to find it when the accident happened.
Now she was bending over to vomit, her face almost buried in the bag.
A faint smell gradually permeated the cramped space, which came from the bag, and the smell floated everywhere, but it didn't float out of the window, intending to fight against the two men in front.
Huang Dan glanced at the rearview mirror. From the standpoint of the original owner, he would not ask Zhang Yao "Is there anything wrong" and "How are you?" He was used to it.
Since she was a child, Zhang Yao always vomited in the car.
Huang Dan wanted to go the way of the original owner, so he didn't ask any questions.
Zhang Yao was also very calm and felt much more comfortable after vomiting. She wiped her mouth with a tissue and asked after the car drove, "Brother, how long is it?"
Huang Dan said, "About 10 minutes."
Zhang Yao breathed a sigh of relief, her complexion was very bad, and it was impossible to stay up late and ride the car for a day or two, "I left after dinner in the school cafeteria, and I saw a shit fly when I was almost done eating, it would make me sick." ,feels awful."
Huang Dan had a bad impression of this little guy, the shit fly. He had seen the opponent's power when he traveled for the first time. He pursed his lips and turned his stomach a few times.
Qi Feng seemed to be okay, and there was no sign of discomfort on his face.
He seemed to think that Zhang Yao made a fuss, it was just a shit fly, it was no big deal.
Not long after, Zhang Yao asked Huang Dan to park the car on the side of the road. She thought her mouth was uncomfortable, so she got out of the car with a water cup to rinse her mouth.
Huang Dan also got out of the car and found that it was cooler outside than in the car.
Zhang Yao was motion sick, so she asked to open the windows, so she couldn't turn on the air-conditioning, and the stuffy people in the car wanted to die.
Huang Dan didn't walk away, he leaned against the car door to breathe the dust on the road, he didn't like it here, the air was so bad, it was much worse than the worlds he traveled through three times before.
Suddenly there was a buzzing sound, and Huang Dan subconsciously thought it was his mobile phone. The original owner's parents should have called to ask if they had picked it up. He went to the car to get it, and the man next to him had already picked up the phone.
The humming also stopped at this moment.
Huang Dan withdrew his hand and continued to stand by the car door, with a man's scolding in his ears, "Fuck, I'm not here for a day, you guys are about to go to the house, right? It's alright, even something serious can be sorted out." You moth."
Qi Feng half-closed his eyelids, and laughed, "Really? He really said that? Then let him go to the labor service company and talk about it. You guys are optimistic about other people, don't cause trouble, and you can get money for work." become."
He hung up the phone and lit the stubbed cigarette again, "It's dawn."
Huang Dan was sure he was talking to himself, so he looked up at the sky, "Yeah."
The smoke lingered for a while, Qi Feng stretched out the hand holding the cigarette out of the window, and flicked off a handful of ash, "I heard that your small shop was stolen last night, did you lose a lot of things?"
Huang Dan's eyes flickered slightly, "I lost some cash and cigarettes."
Qi Feng put the cigarette in his mouth, biting the cigarette butt with his teeth, his voice was vague, "There are a lot of people on the construction site, there are all kinds of shops, and there are small shops nearby, so we better be careful."
He stretched his long legs forward a little, with lazy eyes, "Although the monitoring is not very useful, at least it can intimidate people. People who want to think about your small shop will be more scruples."
"Thank you."
Huang Dan sat back in the car, and cast his eyes on the man for the third time. The other party seemed to have an attitude that had nothing to do with him, and those two words were just a whim.
Qi Feng had no expression on his face, and his tone was old-fashioned, "Little brother, don't squint at people, it's very impolite."
When the yellow slip was discovered, he simply turned his head and stared at him blatantly, "I'm almost thirty."
Qi Feng took a puff of cigarette, "I'm almost forty."
There was a flash of surprise in Huang Dan's eyes, "I can't tell."
Qi Feng pulled his lips, "I can't see it either."
Huang Dan lowered his eyes, the original owner's face was a little tender, he couldn't tell he was almost 30 years old, and others would believe him if he said he was a college student.
He looked not far ahead, Zhang Yao stopped rinsing her mouth, and squatted on the grass panting, "Mr. Qi, I heard from my sister that you are the foreman, can you tell me about the construction site?"
Qi Feng supported his forehead, "I can't."
Yellow list, "..."
Qi Feng joked, "Don't use your little tricks on me. What I spit out of my mouth is only saliva, and there is nothing you want to know. If you don't believe me, I can spit it out for you."
The corner of Huang Dan's mouth twitched, "No need."
The back of Qi Feng's head hit the back of the chair, and he fell asleep in the rising smoke, "If you want to know who entered your small shop last night, wait for the police to tell you."
Huang Dan said, "The small store is not equipped with surveillance cameras, so we can't find them."
Qi Feng shrugged, "Then your family can only admit it."
Huang Dan was about to speak, but a man's voice sounded in his ear, "Your sister has a very good figure."
He followed the man's line of sight, and saw that the tall and thin girl had stood up from the grass and was coming towards the parking lot.
The girl was wearing a simple white T-shirt and light blue high-waisted shorts. The hem of the T-shirt was tucked into the shorts. Her waist was thin and her legs were long and white.
The figure is really good.
Huang Dan vaguely understood the meaning of the man's words. He had been here for most of the afternoon and one night, and met many workers. Among the fifty men, there was at most one woman, and they were all middle-aged women in their 40s. , followed her husband.
After all, there are very few people who work around with their companions, and they generally make money outside alone.
Among the workers are young men in their teens and 20s who are full of curiosity about the opposite sex. Some are in their 30s and 50s, just the age when they are young and will explode at the first touch, and some are in their [-]s and [-]s without their wives and children around.
It's very remote there, and it's a long way from the town. To find a lady, you have to take a bus and run for a while.
When a young and beautiful girl comes here, it is bound to attract the attention of those people.
Now it's summer again, and it's a cool season to wear. It can't be tightly wrapped, and a lot of arms and legs are exposed. The neckline is a little bigger, and you can almost be seen when you lower your head.
Huang Dan frowned.
He then thought about it, the original owner's younger sister came back to school after only three days, and had her own job after graduation, so she wouldn't stay in such a chaotic environment.
Zhang Yao didn't know what Huang Dan was thinking, so she opened the car door and sat in the back seat, "Brother, didn't my parents go to the police station this afternoon? What did they say? When will someone come over and take a look?"
Huang Dan drove the car, "Tomorrow."
Zhang Yao insisted, "I think those workers must have done it!"
Her pale face was stern, and her words were strongly repulsive, even contemptuous, "Last year when my parents came home during the Qingming Festival, so many things were thrown in the shed, even the quilts and mattresses were stolen, except for the workers, Who would steal those things?"
"They come from all over the place, with low education level and poor quality. Their hands and feet are absolutely unclean. It's not just commonplace to steal something..."
The conversation stopped abruptly.
Zhang Yao later realized that there was someone sitting in front of her. She blinked, but from this angle, she could only see a black head and broad shoulders, and she didn't know what the other person's expression was.
After a while, Zhang Yao smiled awkwardly, "Brother Qi, I just said it casually, don't take it to heart."
Qi Feng's index finger and thumb pressed hard, crushing the butt of the cigarette, he smiled, "It's okay."
Zhang Yao scratched her hair angrily, looked up at the rearview mirror, Huang Dan also looked at her, their eyes met, she curled her lips, knowing that she had said something wrong.
The atmosphere in the car was not very good, the three of them stopped talking and walked to the destination in silence.
After getting out of the car, Qi Feng thanked Huang Dan, put his hands in his pockets, and walked slowly towards the row of dormitory buildings behind.
Zhang Yao withdrew her gaze from the man's back, "Brother, do you think Big Brother Qi is angry?"
Huang Dan took out the leather suitcase from the trunk, he couldn't understand, just came for three days, the luggage also needs to be packed in leather suitcase?Hearing Zhang Yao's question, he said, "That person is not angry."
Zhang Yao didn't believe it, she took the suitcase and said, "Really?"
Huang Dan nodded, the man didn't have any obvious expression changes at the time, it didn't matter, or he had listened to it too much, got used to it, and got tired of it.
Besides, a man who is almost 40 years old has traveled all over the world for many years, and has become an old fritter in the society. His state of mind is different from that of a child who doesn't care about world affairs.
The light in the small shop was turned on, Zhang's mother came out and opened the door, with an apron hanging in front of her body, "Xiaoyao, mom will serve you a bowl of noodles, eat before going to bed."
Zhang Yao yawned and said she didn't want to eat, "Mom, it's already five o'clock, I can't fall asleep after eating."
Mother Zhang pulled her suitcase into the back room, "It's okay if you don't eat, you have to eat something before going to bed, otherwise you will go to bed hungry, it will be bad for your stomach."
Zhang Yao didn't insist anymore, knowing that talking too much won't work, "Okay, you put a little bit for me, put less oil and salt, don't fry eggs for me."
"There are still fried eggs, and there is not even a chicken feather in the refrigerator. Tomorrow, you and your brother will stock up, and buy some eggs by the way."
Zhang's mother yelled outside, her voice was already loud, but this time she seemed to be yelling up on purpose, "Zhicheng, mom, you can eat a bowl of noodles too."
Huang Dan opened the other side of the door, "Okay."
With such a big commotion, Father Zhang was still lying on the bed, not intending to get up.
Zhang Yao's eyes rolled, and she trotted to find Huang Dan, with a determined tone and a familiar expression, "Brother, did your parents quarrel?"
"Well, it's noisy."
Huang Dan accidentally caught a glimpse of a big mosquito lying on the opposite wall, he didn't say anything, just walked over and raised his hand.
Purely unconscious behavior.
The mosquito was too full, too slow to fly away, and died under Huang Dan's palm, leaving a small puddle of blood on the whitewashed wall.
Huang Dan's palms were numb, and his brows immediately frowned.
Seeing her brother's back attacking, Zhang Yao seemed to be suffering, so she moved closer and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
There was a cry in Huang Dan's voice, "Hand hurts."
Zhang Yao saw a drop of tears falling from her brother's eyes, she was dazed for a long time, her eyes widened in shock, she turned her head like a ghost and shouted loudly, "Dad, Mom, come and see, brother is beating mosquitoes and crying!" La--"
Yellow list, "..."
Father Zhang on the bed in the back room made a sound, very angry, "What are you shouting for?"
Zhang Yao ran over to open the door, "Dad, brother is crying."
Father Zhang looked at his daughter, "You have been on the train all night, why are you still so crazy?"
Zhang Yao rolled her eyes, "I'm not crazy, brother really cried, I saw it with both eyes, Dad, if you don't believe me, go and see for yourself, I'm a puppy to lie to you."
When mentioning dogs, she thought of Dou Sha, with a crying expression on her face.
Zhang Yao's eyes were red, and she said sadly, "Dad, the thief must be caught, and we want to avenge Dousha."
Zhang's father was silent, like a poor old man when he was not staring or talking.
He hoped that everyone would follow his own wishes and not go against his will, otherwise he would lose his temper, which looked terrible, and his children would not dare to talk to him.
Zhang Yao sniffed, went to the kitchen to have a look, and then went outside again.
Huang Dan sat on a wooden stool with his head bowed, weeping silently.
Zhang Yao's mood is very complicated.
As long as she can remember, she has never seen her brother cry, so in her heart, no man in the world is stronger than her brother, and that is the real man who bleeds and does not shed tears.
The results of it?
On such an ordinary summer, on an ordinary morning, the brother she adores dropped a tear in front of her, and the tears slowly flowed down her face.
Zhang Yao took a deep breath, she definitely wasn't just beating mosquitoes and crying.
She didn't know how many times she had to do that job in a summer. She didn't feel pain, but just felt good. Killing a mosquito made her feel like No.1 in the exam, feeling that she was awesome.
The yellow sheet was really hit by a mosquito, and the pain has not disappeared yet.
Zhang Yao walked back and forth, moved a stool and sat opposite Huang Dan, "Brother, there are no fragrant grasses anywhere in the world, why bother to love only one flower, you want to open some, pass this village, there are many shops waiting for you."
She felt that the fact that her brother became so sad was definitely the reason for that first love.
Isn't there a saying that first love is an insurmountable chasm?Her brother has been flopping in the ditch for many years, and if he doesn't climb ashore, he will really drown in the ditch.
Huang Dan threw the wet tissue into the trash can. From reading to work, he was always in love with others secretly or clearly. He didn't understand the feeling of being in love with someone secretly. He could only know a little from the original owner's memory.
Probably the taste of bitterness and happiness.
The original owner drank too much for some reason during the New Year's Eve dinner on the [-]th night of the following year. His sister was the first love that he overheard from him that time.
Seeing that her brother didn't speak, Zhang Yao thought she had hit it off, and she still couldn't let it go, yes, it was her first love after all, "Brother, you followed that woman to her hometown, but you still didn't get together, which means you didn't Fate, forget it, don’t think about it.”
Huang Dan said, "I don't want to anymore."
Zhang Yao looked over with worried eyes, "Brother, you said we were all born to the same mother, why are we completely different."
She held her chin, "What is love? Is it worth chasing after it for so long? Let me tell you, life is short, and being nice to yourself is the most important thing."
Huang Dan knew that the original owner's sister was a bachelor.
In her opinion, looking for a man is purely to find happiness for herself. It is a kind of self-abuse behavior that will only be done when you are full. If you have that time, it is better to raise a cat and grow a pot of succulents.
After being quiet for a while, Zhang Yao suddenly said, "Brother, to be honest, Big Brother Qi is more handsome than a celebrity, a tough guy, very masculine."
Huang Dan said, "All I know is that he smells like sweat."
"You are blatantly jealous."
Zhang Yao scratched her calf where the mosquito had bitten her, "Brother, it's a pity you're not a girl, otherwise I would definitely match you and Brother Qi."
She smacked her lips, "Such a good man should marry into our family."
Huang Dan glanced at the girl, "You think highly of him, why don't you try..."
Zhang Yao interrupted him, "That's two different things."
"Brother, I still worship you and regard you as my idol. Do I want to chase you?"
Huang Dan has nothing to say.
Zhang's mother in the kitchen called them to come in and make noodles.
Zhang's mother cooks delicious food, but cooking noodles is really bad. She just uses the word "cook" to its fullest throughout the whole process, and the noodles end up getting stuck in the pot and rotten.
Zhang Yao ate two chopsticks of noodles, yawned and went upstairs to sleep.
Huang Dan sympathized with her. There was no door upstairs, and any sound from downstairs would be amplified several times upstairs. When the workers came to have breakfast later, the volume was so loud that a dead pig could shake it.
Not long after, about the time Huang Dan drank half a bowl of noodle soup, someone came in to buy something.
The small shop got busy, so Zhang's father didn't go back to sleep. He came out and sat on the stool to light a cigarette, staring at everyone through the smoke, for fear that someone would fish in troubled waters. His eyes were protruding and bloodshot. Just insomnia.
There are three or four large water bottles by the wall, which Zhang's mother burned early in the morning. Workers usually buy instant noodles in the morning and soak them here.
The yellow slip at the counter was very sleepy, so he took the opened chewing gum in the drawer and tore a piece into his mouth, relying on this to refresh himself, he planned to go to the office to sleep in the morning.
A young man came over with a few things, "How much?"
Take a look at the yellow sheet, "Instant noodles cost four yuan, ham sausage one piece, and two breads cost two yuan, a total of seven yuan."
The young man took out banknotes from the pocket behind his buttocks. When he remembered something, he went to the freezer to get a bottle of Coke, and threw a ten-dollar bill over there, "Right?"
The yellow sheet said it was right, if you buy it every day, you will know the price.
The young man walked to the door with noodles that had been filled with boiling water, and he suddenly called out, "Hurry up, you'll have to squat down to eat."
The next moment, a group of people walked in, there were a dozen or twenty of them, and among them was the man. Aside from that face, he was the tallest, at least [-].
The small shop was already small, and with so many adults standing, it seemed even more crowded.
After a few glances at Huang Dan, he became confused, and there was no way to be sure who had stolen something. He only knew that this group of people and the young man were from the same place and had the same accent.
Monitoring still needs to be installed.
Even if you can't prevent thieves, you can check to see if someone has stolen something.
Qi Feng strode over and put down the things in his hand, "Calculate how much it is."
Huang Dan reached out to pick up the spicy snacks on the counter, including small yellow croakers, dried tofu, and sliced bamboo shoots. "These are one yuan a bag."
Qi Feng said, "I know, I often buy."
Huang Dan counted his belongings, "It's eight and a half dollars in total."
Qi Feng propped his elbows on the counter, glanced at the cigarettes inside, tapped a few times with his index finger, "Bring me another pack of Nanjing."
Huang Dan said, "It's made of glass, so it can't be pressed."
Qi Feng didn't lift his eyelids.
Huang Dan knew that this person was not easy to mess with.
Soon, the few tables outside were full, and the smell of instant noodles filled the air, very strong.
Just as Huang Dan was about to sit down and rest for a while, he saw two people approaching Qi Feng's table. One looked to be in his 30s. His name was He Peng, he was also a foreman, and he led a group of people to work.
He Peng's long and handsome hair is greasy, as if it hasn't been washed for several months. He strokes his hair twice with one hand, and holds a cigarette in the other hand, "You eat this in the morning?"
Qi Feng ignored him.
He Peng turned his target to the young man next to Qi Feng, "Yangyang, you are in your teens, and it is time to grow your body, so you can't be careless about breakfast."
"This instant noodles are carcinogenic, don't you know?"
Zhou Yang put on a look of surprise, "I don't know, Boss He knows a lot, tell me so."
The others laughed.
"How can we compare with Boss He? It's good to have instant noodles."
He Peng's face darkened, and seeing Zhou Yang unscrew the cap of the Coke bottle, he grinned, "Yangyang, didn't your Big Brother Qi tell you? Drinking too much Coke will kill sperm."
Zhou Yang didn't understand all of a sudden, he turned his head and asked Qi Feng, "What is it?"
Qi Feng didn't respond.
The people behind He Peng gave Zhou Yang the answer, his face flushed, and he looked at the Coke in his hand in disbelief, "Is it true? Can this thing kill the descendants of my Zhou family?"
Qi Feng whispered, "Go to work after eating."
Zhou Yang also lazily talked nonsense to He Peng. He put on his gloves, stuffed the Coke bottle into his back pocket, and walked slowly across the road to the construction site opposite.
The others didn't stay long after they were full. They did more work while the weather was still not too hot. When the sun was high, a layer of skin could be peeled off.
No one cleaned up, the table was in a mess, and a large wave of flies came around, biting the instant noodle bucket and the bread bag.
The foreman is different from the workers, there is no need to rush to do things, Qi Feng smokes after eating the instant noodles, he is still sitting on the stool, and he will not leave until he finishes smoking a cigarette.
He Peng raised his foot, hooked a plastic stool in front of him, and sat down, "When do you plan to cap it?"
Qi Feng was smoking a cigarette, "Not necessarily."
He Peng swallowed clouds and mist together with him, with calculations in his eyes, "I got a word from Mr. Liu, saying that a truckload of steel bars will come in two days, and it belongs to Lao Wang. Why don't the two of us work together to get the steel bars together?" Take it down, half of each person?"
Qi Feng laughed, "Aren't you and Lao Wang on good terms, are you almost becoming brothers who worship you?"
He Peng listened to the sarcasm in the words, his face turned blue and red, took a deep breath on the cigarette, squinted his eyes and said, "Brothers have to share when."
"Give me a quick word, do you want to do this?"
Qi Feng was not interested, and said coolly, "Old Wang must kill us."
"Not at all. At most, he brought people to fight with us. If the two groups of us join together, we can't suffer."
He Peng's tone was a bit strange, "Little brother Zhang is looking at you."
Qi Feng thought He Peng was joking at first, but when he turned his head to look at the counter and met a gaze, he raised his eyebrows, "Little brother, what do you think I am doing?"
Huang Dan's eyes stopped on He Peng, "I didn't look at you, but the one who did."
He Peng immediately looked like a villain, as if he was happier than anything else when Qi Feng was beaten, "Oh? Really? Brother Zhang, why do you want to look at me?"
Huang Dan said, "There are vegetable leaves on your teeth."
He Peng, "..."
Qi Feng's shoulders trembled, and he smiled for the first time in the morning. He stood up, flicked a little cigarette ash off his T-shirt, and lazily went to the construction site.
Huang Dan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't look closely at four or five o'clock in the morning, only now did he realize that the man's buttocks are very upturned.
It was the kind of warping he was familiar with.
He Peng's eyes were fierce, "Little brother Zhang, are you kidding me?!"
Huang Dan withdrew his gaze, "It really is."
He Peng was furious, "I bared my teeth to the point of smoking, and I didn't see a vegetable leaf. You can show me."
Huang Dan looked at the man's teeth, they were not as neat as Qi Feng's, "It's gone."
He Peng turned his head, "Old Zhang, don't you care about your son? Playing with people early in the morning?"
Zhang's father was still puffing and worrying, "Xiaohe, I didn't say that, my son's eyesight is very good, he said you have vegetable leaves on your teeth, then there must be, you can't be wrong."
He Peng took a puff on his cigarette and spit it out, "Then tell me, why is it gone again?"
Father Zhang looked like an idiot, "What else could be the reason, I was eaten by you."
He Peng left with a livid face.
Huang Dan put on a curious tone, "Dad, were those two people just now foremen?"
"The one you mentioned is He Peng, and the other is Qi Feng. They are indeed foremen, but they are not from the same place."
Father Zhang finished his cigarette, and he stomped on the cigarette butt with his shoe, "We have a good relationship, and we are close together. These are all made on the surface, and there is a lot of competition between the foremen behind their backs. You don't understand."
Huang Dan said, "Dad, tell me, could it be some foreman who brought people into the small shop?"
Father Zhang's face darkened, "I doubted it too."
"But there is no mark on the money and cigarettes. Even if that person used it in front of us, we don't know."
Huang Dan asked, "Is there anything else missing at home?"
Father Zhang, "Except for cigarettes and money, there is nothing else. If there is, would your father not know about it?"
Huang Dan just mentioned it casually, and the reaction of the middle-aged man was a bit weird.
He still wanted to ask, but was interrupted by the shopping worker.
When looking at the sky in the early morning, Huang Dan thought it would rain today, but it turned out to be a sunny day.
Those who run small shops like this kind of weather. The hotter the sun, the hotter the workers, and the more water and drinks they sell.
Huang Dan found out that young workers are not restrained in spending money.
I have already spent about ten yuan for breakfast in a mess, and I bought a bottle of Nutrition Express to supplement nutrition when I left.
After this wave of workers left, Zhang's mother began to clean up the tables, chairs and benches. She deliberately swept the broom to Zhang's father, and the dust on the concrete floor was swept up.
Father Zhang kicked her, "Crazy you!"
Mother Zhang continued to scan.
Zhang's father stood up and scolded, the old couple blushed from the quarrel and their necks were thick, and they entered a state of cold war again.
Huang Dan wanted to get a cup to pour water, but when he saw a fly floating in the cup, he frowned, and silently went to the faucet to rinse.
Since this area has not been developed, the green pools have been abandoned.
The area in front of the small shop was used by Zhang's mother. In addition to stacking large boxes for garbage, she also planted several rows of peppers, and there were a few lettuce seedlings in the middle, which were pulled by the roadside when the original owner came back from work.
Huang Dan looked at the time displayed on the phone, "Mom, I'm going to work."
Zhang's mother responded, "I'll see if I can come back early in the morning, and go buy goods with Xiaoyao."
Huang Dan said, "I'll see the situation when the time comes."
He went to the back room to change his shoes, and when he was about to leave, Zhang's father stopped him, "Zhicheng, have you ordered cigarettes this week?"
After being stunned for a few seconds, Huang Dan said, "I forgot."
Zhang's father immediately became angry, "What can you do well? If you order a cigarette, you can forget about it!"
The yellow order waited for the middle-aged man to finish training, "I'll order it now."
Father Zhang said with a straight face, "Can I still order?"
On the "New Business Alliance" website on the yellow list, "Yes, Dad, what do you want to order?"
Father Zhang's face is still serious, "Didn't I tell you? Look at Hard Zhonghua, Soft Zhonghua, and Liqun. Are these three cigarettes in stock?"
Those kinds of cigarettes are limited, and they will be released as soon as they are available, so as not to be unordered in the future, and they are also selling well.
I read the yellow slip and said there are more.
Zhang's father told him to order quickly, and his tone was much better than before.
Once the yellow order was ordered, he searched the original owner's memory and ordered all the long-ordered cigarettes.
Generally, cigarettes are ordered on weekends, and people from the Tobacco Bureau will deliver the cigarettes around [-]:[-] on Wednesday morning.
After ordering the cigarettes, Huang Dan said, "Dad, it's almost [-]."
Father Zhang remained silent.
Huang Dan was helpless, and the remaining money in the original owner's card was used to buy goods. Several relatives on her father's side were quite rich, but they couldn't borrow much.
The original owner had a second uncle, who was his father's elder brother.
His father was an upstart in the village in his early years, and he took his second uncle to work with him, and made money together.
The second uncle is well-off, but he has money but says he has no money.
As a result, he quietly bought a car worth two hundred thousand yuan, but he didn't dare to drive it. He called the original owner's father and told him to drive the new car back.
As for the relatives of the original owner's mother, most of them don't have much money. They either farm at home or work as part-time workers outside. Only one aunt has some money.
The aunt and the original owner's mother are sisters, and they borrowed 10 yuan from his family, and also lent the money saved by their own handicrafts to his mother.
After all, the relationship between brothers and sisters is not the same thing.
The matter of borrowing money already includes a lot of things, and it cannot be explained thoroughly in a few words.
Huang Dan heard Zhang's father on the phone, he probably borrowed money from someone, he couldn't help, so he went to work without thinking too much.
The company was in the playground, Huang Dan walked and watched, and met some tourists who came to play.
This playground was the project that the original owner's father took over at that time. The developer has not yet recovered the cost, and the location is too far away.
So the original owner's father's money will not be returned.
When Huang Dan entered the office, he was alone, and the director was not there. He turned on the computer and went into the original owner's daily routine - looking for a movie to watch.
At ten o'clock in the morning, there was a thunderstorm, and Huang Dan got off work early. When he returned from the rain, he saw a group of people surrounded by the cigarette machine, which was very lively.
If workers don't work, they naturally don't get paid.
They are treated very differently from office workers. How much time they work and how much they get paid for is very clear and ruthless.
And office workers are paid holidays.
Huang Dan discovered that Qi Feng was playing, he stepped forward curiously, and saw that the other party was controlling the machine and had already clamped a pack of cigarettes, he was the Ninth Five-Year Master.
The crowd cheered, happier than they caught a cigarette.
The machine was put by the owner of the fishing tackle shop, and it cost one yuan a time. When he saw Qi Feng snatch the Nine-Five Lord, the muscles on his face pulled several times.
If you want to ask who he least wants to play, it is Qi Feng.
This guy's luck is so good that he can't do anything if he blocks his way of making money.
Qi Feng threw the pack of cigarettes to Zhou Yang and asked him to share it with the big guys.
Zhou Yang cheerfully unpacked the cigarettes, throwing one at a time for each person, and the pack was quickly gone, "Brother Qi, play again."
Qi Feng had no interest, "I don't want to play anymore, you guys can play."
He sat down on the chair, crossed his legs on the table, and began to snuff.
Huang Dan shook his head, this man is really addicted to smoking.
Qi Feng glanced at the young man who lowered his head and rubbed the mud, "Little brother, did you get off work so early?"
Huang Dan wiped off a large piece of mud from the bottom of his feet, "I came back early."
Qi Feng tutted, "Sitting in an office is a blessing, no wonder your face is whiter than a girl's."
Zhou Yang nodded in agreement, "It's so white, whiter than pearls."
"..."
Huang Dan entered the small shop and saw two strangers talking to Zhang's father and Zhang's mother. When he got closer, he heard the content of the conversation. He knew that they were from the police station and came to ask about the situation.
When asked if she was sure that only cigarettes and cash were lost, Zhang's mother was fine, but Zhang's father had an expression that was not quite right.
Huang Dan caught it, and his brow twitched slightly, he must have lost something else.
That thing was very important, Zhang's father didn't dare to tell Zhang's mother, so he kept it a secret knowing that it would be detrimental to the progress of the case.
When he returned, he was still driving with a yellow card, and the passenger seat next to him was not empty, and a man was sitting in it.
Not long ago, through Zhang Yao's introduction, Huang Dan knew the man's name was Qi Feng.
It is not the wind of wind and rain, but the harvest, Zhang Yao told Huang Dan at that time.
Huang Dan turned the steering wheel and turned into the road that was no longer smooth. The original owner would help out at the small shop at noon and night. There were many workers coming in and out every day, as well as nearby farmers, local people passing by, the company's boss and employees, It stands to reason that he should not be able to remember who is who, but Huang Dan actually dug up a fragment about Qi Feng from his memory.
It may be that the heroic and resolute face is mixed in the crowd, which will appear more abrupt.
Huang Dan turned on the turn signal, and a beam of light passed by the front of the car. He frowned, recalling the things Zhang Yao had said to him.
There is no spark of love between handsome men and beautiful women, only a meeting carefully arranged by God.
When Zhang Yao was about to pick up the ticket, she touched her pocket and found that the phone was gone. She immediately turned around to look for it, and ran into Qi Feng who was waiting for the owner.
After getting on the train, Zhang Yao saw Qi Feng again in the carriage, and after asking casually, she realized that the other party was going to City J as well, and they were in the same carriage, and the seats were still together.
For a long-distance bus in the early ten hours, the sleeper cost more than 200 yuan. Zhang Yao couldn't bear the money, so she bought a hard seat.
The road was very stuffy, Zhang Yao was motion sick, and she also fainted on the train. Every time she found a seat and sat down, she would just sleep on her stomach. There was no place to lie down, so she would sleep on her back, waiting for the train to arrive with a haggard face.
The person sitting next to me today is not considered a stranger, he has already had a simple contact, so Zhang Yao stayed up, looking for topics to chat with the other party.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Yao knew that she and Qi Feng went to the same place, and also knew that the other party was working on the construction site.
Qi Feng had just brought a group of workers over from his hometown to work on the project, so Zhang Yao, who only came to the small shop during the holidays, had never seen him.
These coincidences add up to an urban love story.
Huang Dan's thoughts were disturbed by a wisp of smoke, his peripheral vision swept away, and the spark near the man's mouth flickered in his vision.
He has sorted out all the information that Zhang Yao told Huang Dan before, and picked out a few useful clues from it. First, this man is a foreman who just came to J City not long ago. Second, he worked on the construction site near the small shop Live, three, smoked only twelve packs of Nanjing, which shows that life is not a style of extravagance.
The small shop was stolen, and the suspect has not yet been identified.
Based on the experience of the past three tasks, Huang Dan judged that it was not done by one person, but by a group of people. The people on the construction site hated it the most. Of course, other possibilities cannot be ruled out.
For the second time, he turned his peripheral vision to the man in the passenger seat, thoughtfully.
The shop was stolen last night. The man left City J just this morning. He said he was visiting relatives in City N and came back after lunch.
Huang Dan learned about this from Zhang Yao.
Qi Feng noticed something, he spoke with a cigarette in his mouth, his voice was hoarse when he spoke, "You don't mind?"
Huang Dan said, "Xiaoyao gets carsick."
Qi Feng didn't say anything, he just took two puffs of the cigarette and moved his fingers to put it out.
Zhang Yao in the back seat didn't make a sound. After she opened the car door and got in, she put her backpack on her lap, leaned against the back of the seat, and closed her eyes tightly, looking like she was struggling.
The car was quiet, the air-conditioning was not turned on, and the hot wind was blowing in from the window frantically, making it unbearably hot.
Huang Dan parked his car and waited for the red light, when he heard the sound from the back seat, Zhang Yao vomited.
The motion sickness is so severe that I only have three days off, but I still have to take a long-distance bus to come here. It takes more than 20 hours on the road to and fro, and I suffer.
Zhang Yao knew that she was motion sick, so she must always have a roll of garbage bags in her bag. Once she felt uncomfortable in her stomach, she would quickly grab a bag and hold it in her hand, so as not to be too late to find it when the accident happened.
Now she was bending over to vomit, her face almost buried in the bag.
A faint smell gradually permeated the cramped space, which came from the bag, and the smell floated everywhere, but it didn't float out of the window, intending to fight against the two men in front.
Huang Dan glanced at the rearview mirror. From the standpoint of the original owner, he would not ask Zhang Yao "Is there anything wrong" and "How are you?" He was used to it.
Since she was a child, Zhang Yao always vomited in the car.
Huang Dan wanted to go the way of the original owner, so he didn't ask any questions.
Zhang Yao was also very calm and felt much more comfortable after vomiting. She wiped her mouth with a tissue and asked after the car drove, "Brother, how long is it?"
Huang Dan said, "About 10 minutes."
Zhang Yao breathed a sigh of relief, her complexion was very bad, and it was impossible to stay up late and ride the car for a day or two, "I left after dinner in the school cafeteria, and I saw a shit fly when I was almost done eating, it would make me sick." ,feels awful."
Huang Dan had a bad impression of this little guy, the shit fly. He had seen the opponent's power when he traveled for the first time. He pursed his lips and turned his stomach a few times.
Qi Feng seemed to be okay, and there was no sign of discomfort on his face.
He seemed to think that Zhang Yao made a fuss, it was just a shit fly, it was no big deal.
Not long after, Zhang Yao asked Huang Dan to park the car on the side of the road. She thought her mouth was uncomfortable, so she got out of the car with a water cup to rinse her mouth.
Huang Dan also got out of the car and found that it was cooler outside than in the car.
Zhang Yao was motion sick, so she asked to open the windows, so she couldn't turn on the air-conditioning, and the stuffy people in the car wanted to die.
Huang Dan didn't walk away, he leaned against the car door to breathe the dust on the road, he didn't like it here, the air was so bad, it was much worse than the worlds he traveled through three times before.
Suddenly there was a buzzing sound, and Huang Dan subconsciously thought it was his mobile phone. The original owner's parents should have called to ask if they had picked it up. He went to the car to get it, and the man next to him had already picked up the phone.
The humming also stopped at this moment.
Huang Dan withdrew his hand and continued to stand by the car door, with a man's scolding in his ears, "Fuck, I'm not here for a day, you guys are about to go to the house, right? It's alright, even something serious can be sorted out." You moth."
Qi Feng half-closed his eyelids, and laughed, "Really? He really said that? Then let him go to the labor service company and talk about it. You guys are optimistic about other people, don't cause trouble, and you can get money for work." become."
He hung up the phone and lit the stubbed cigarette again, "It's dawn."
Huang Dan was sure he was talking to himself, so he looked up at the sky, "Yeah."
The smoke lingered for a while, Qi Feng stretched out the hand holding the cigarette out of the window, and flicked off a handful of ash, "I heard that your small shop was stolen last night, did you lose a lot of things?"
Huang Dan's eyes flickered slightly, "I lost some cash and cigarettes."
Qi Feng put the cigarette in his mouth, biting the cigarette butt with his teeth, his voice was vague, "There are a lot of people on the construction site, there are all kinds of shops, and there are small shops nearby, so we better be careful."
He stretched his long legs forward a little, with lazy eyes, "Although the monitoring is not very useful, at least it can intimidate people. People who want to think about your small shop will be more scruples."
"Thank you."
Huang Dan sat back in the car, and cast his eyes on the man for the third time. The other party seemed to have an attitude that had nothing to do with him, and those two words were just a whim.
Qi Feng had no expression on his face, and his tone was old-fashioned, "Little brother, don't squint at people, it's very impolite."
When the yellow slip was discovered, he simply turned his head and stared at him blatantly, "I'm almost thirty."
Qi Feng took a puff of cigarette, "I'm almost forty."
There was a flash of surprise in Huang Dan's eyes, "I can't tell."
Qi Feng pulled his lips, "I can't see it either."
Huang Dan lowered his eyes, the original owner's face was a little tender, he couldn't tell he was almost 30 years old, and others would believe him if he said he was a college student.
He looked not far ahead, Zhang Yao stopped rinsing her mouth, and squatted on the grass panting, "Mr. Qi, I heard from my sister that you are the foreman, can you tell me about the construction site?"
Qi Feng supported his forehead, "I can't."
Yellow list, "..."
Qi Feng joked, "Don't use your little tricks on me. What I spit out of my mouth is only saliva, and there is nothing you want to know. If you don't believe me, I can spit it out for you."
The corner of Huang Dan's mouth twitched, "No need."
The back of Qi Feng's head hit the back of the chair, and he fell asleep in the rising smoke, "If you want to know who entered your small shop last night, wait for the police to tell you."
Huang Dan said, "The small store is not equipped with surveillance cameras, so we can't find them."
Qi Feng shrugged, "Then your family can only admit it."
Huang Dan was about to speak, but a man's voice sounded in his ear, "Your sister has a very good figure."
He followed the man's line of sight, and saw that the tall and thin girl had stood up from the grass and was coming towards the parking lot.
The girl was wearing a simple white T-shirt and light blue high-waisted shorts. The hem of the T-shirt was tucked into the shorts. Her waist was thin and her legs were long and white.
The figure is really good.
Huang Dan vaguely understood the meaning of the man's words. He had been here for most of the afternoon and one night, and met many workers. Among the fifty men, there was at most one woman, and they were all middle-aged women in their 40s. , followed her husband.
After all, there are very few people who work around with their companions, and they generally make money outside alone.
Among the workers are young men in their teens and 20s who are full of curiosity about the opposite sex. Some are in their 30s and 50s, just the age when they are young and will explode at the first touch, and some are in their [-]s and [-]s without their wives and children around.
It's very remote there, and it's a long way from the town. To find a lady, you have to take a bus and run for a while.
When a young and beautiful girl comes here, it is bound to attract the attention of those people.
Now it's summer again, and it's a cool season to wear. It can't be tightly wrapped, and a lot of arms and legs are exposed. The neckline is a little bigger, and you can almost be seen when you lower your head.
Huang Dan frowned.
He then thought about it, the original owner's younger sister came back to school after only three days, and had her own job after graduation, so she wouldn't stay in such a chaotic environment.
Zhang Yao didn't know what Huang Dan was thinking, so she opened the car door and sat in the back seat, "Brother, didn't my parents go to the police station this afternoon? What did they say? When will someone come over and take a look?"
Huang Dan drove the car, "Tomorrow."
Zhang Yao insisted, "I think those workers must have done it!"
Her pale face was stern, and her words were strongly repulsive, even contemptuous, "Last year when my parents came home during the Qingming Festival, so many things were thrown in the shed, even the quilts and mattresses were stolen, except for the workers, Who would steal those things?"
"They come from all over the place, with low education level and poor quality. Their hands and feet are absolutely unclean. It's not just commonplace to steal something..."
The conversation stopped abruptly.
Zhang Yao later realized that there was someone sitting in front of her. She blinked, but from this angle, she could only see a black head and broad shoulders, and she didn't know what the other person's expression was.
After a while, Zhang Yao smiled awkwardly, "Brother Qi, I just said it casually, don't take it to heart."
Qi Feng's index finger and thumb pressed hard, crushing the butt of the cigarette, he smiled, "It's okay."
Zhang Yao scratched her hair angrily, looked up at the rearview mirror, Huang Dan also looked at her, their eyes met, she curled her lips, knowing that she had said something wrong.
The atmosphere in the car was not very good, the three of them stopped talking and walked to the destination in silence.
After getting out of the car, Qi Feng thanked Huang Dan, put his hands in his pockets, and walked slowly towards the row of dormitory buildings behind.
Zhang Yao withdrew her gaze from the man's back, "Brother, do you think Big Brother Qi is angry?"
Huang Dan took out the leather suitcase from the trunk, he couldn't understand, just came for three days, the luggage also needs to be packed in leather suitcase?Hearing Zhang Yao's question, he said, "That person is not angry."
Zhang Yao didn't believe it, she took the suitcase and said, "Really?"
Huang Dan nodded, the man didn't have any obvious expression changes at the time, it didn't matter, or he had listened to it too much, got used to it, and got tired of it.
Besides, a man who is almost 40 years old has traveled all over the world for many years, and has become an old fritter in the society. His state of mind is different from that of a child who doesn't care about world affairs.
The light in the small shop was turned on, Zhang's mother came out and opened the door, with an apron hanging in front of her body, "Xiaoyao, mom will serve you a bowl of noodles, eat before going to bed."
Zhang Yao yawned and said she didn't want to eat, "Mom, it's already five o'clock, I can't fall asleep after eating."
Mother Zhang pulled her suitcase into the back room, "It's okay if you don't eat, you have to eat something before going to bed, otherwise you will go to bed hungry, it will be bad for your stomach."
Zhang Yao didn't insist anymore, knowing that talking too much won't work, "Okay, you put a little bit for me, put less oil and salt, don't fry eggs for me."
"There are still fried eggs, and there is not even a chicken feather in the refrigerator. Tomorrow, you and your brother will stock up, and buy some eggs by the way."
Zhang's mother yelled outside, her voice was already loud, but this time she seemed to be yelling up on purpose, "Zhicheng, mom, you can eat a bowl of noodles too."
Huang Dan opened the other side of the door, "Okay."
With such a big commotion, Father Zhang was still lying on the bed, not intending to get up.
Zhang Yao's eyes rolled, and she trotted to find Huang Dan, with a determined tone and a familiar expression, "Brother, did your parents quarrel?"
"Well, it's noisy."
Huang Dan accidentally caught a glimpse of a big mosquito lying on the opposite wall, he didn't say anything, just walked over and raised his hand.
Purely unconscious behavior.
The mosquito was too full, too slow to fly away, and died under Huang Dan's palm, leaving a small puddle of blood on the whitewashed wall.
Huang Dan's palms were numb, and his brows immediately frowned.
Seeing her brother's back attacking, Zhang Yao seemed to be suffering, so she moved closer and asked, "Brother, what's wrong with you?"
There was a cry in Huang Dan's voice, "Hand hurts."
Zhang Yao saw a drop of tears falling from her brother's eyes, she was dazed for a long time, her eyes widened in shock, she turned her head like a ghost and shouted loudly, "Dad, Mom, come and see, brother is beating mosquitoes and crying!" La--"
Yellow list, "..."
Father Zhang on the bed in the back room made a sound, very angry, "What are you shouting for?"
Zhang Yao ran over to open the door, "Dad, brother is crying."
Father Zhang looked at his daughter, "You have been on the train all night, why are you still so crazy?"
Zhang Yao rolled her eyes, "I'm not crazy, brother really cried, I saw it with both eyes, Dad, if you don't believe me, go and see for yourself, I'm a puppy to lie to you."
When mentioning dogs, she thought of Dou Sha, with a crying expression on her face.
Zhang Yao's eyes were red, and she said sadly, "Dad, the thief must be caught, and we want to avenge Dousha."
Zhang's father was silent, like a poor old man when he was not staring or talking.
He hoped that everyone would follow his own wishes and not go against his will, otherwise he would lose his temper, which looked terrible, and his children would not dare to talk to him.
Zhang Yao sniffed, went to the kitchen to have a look, and then went outside again.
Huang Dan sat on a wooden stool with his head bowed, weeping silently.
Zhang Yao's mood is very complicated.
As long as she can remember, she has never seen her brother cry, so in her heart, no man in the world is stronger than her brother, and that is the real man who bleeds and does not shed tears.
The results of it?
On such an ordinary summer, on an ordinary morning, the brother she adores dropped a tear in front of her, and the tears slowly flowed down her face.
Zhang Yao took a deep breath, she definitely wasn't just beating mosquitoes and crying.
She didn't know how many times she had to do that job in a summer. She didn't feel pain, but just felt good. Killing a mosquito made her feel like No.1 in the exam, feeling that she was awesome.
The yellow sheet was really hit by a mosquito, and the pain has not disappeared yet.
Zhang Yao walked back and forth, moved a stool and sat opposite Huang Dan, "Brother, there are no fragrant grasses anywhere in the world, why bother to love only one flower, you want to open some, pass this village, there are many shops waiting for you."
She felt that the fact that her brother became so sad was definitely the reason for that first love.
Isn't there a saying that first love is an insurmountable chasm?Her brother has been flopping in the ditch for many years, and if he doesn't climb ashore, he will really drown in the ditch.
Huang Dan threw the wet tissue into the trash can. From reading to work, he was always in love with others secretly or clearly. He didn't understand the feeling of being in love with someone secretly. He could only know a little from the original owner's memory.
Probably the taste of bitterness and happiness.
The original owner drank too much for some reason during the New Year's Eve dinner on the [-]th night of the following year. His sister was the first love that he overheard from him that time.
Seeing that her brother didn't speak, Zhang Yao thought she had hit it off, and she still couldn't let it go, yes, it was her first love after all, "Brother, you followed that woman to her hometown, but you still didn't get together, which means you didn't Fate, forget it, don’t think about it.”
Huang Dan said, "I don't want to anymore."
Zhang Yao looked over with worried eyes, "Brother, you said we were all born to the same mother, why are we completely different."
She held her chin, "What is love? Is it worth chasing after it for so long? Let me tell you, life is short, and being nice to yourself is the most important thing."
Huang Dan knew that the original owner's sister was a bachelor.
In her opinion, looking for a man is purely to find happiness for herself. It is a kind of self-abuse behavior that will only be done when you are full. If you have that time, it is better to raise a cat and grow a pot of succulents.
After being quiet for a while, Zhang Yao suddenly said, "Brother, to be honest, Big Brother Qi is more handsome than a celebrity, a tough guy, very masculine."
Huang Dan said, "All I know is that he smells like sweat."
"You are blatantly jealous."
Zhang Yao scratched her calf where the mosquito had bitten her, "Brother, it's a pity you're not a girl, otherwise I would definitely match you and Brother Qi."
She smacked her lips, "Such a good man should marry into our family."
Huang Dan glanced at the girl, "You think highly of him, why don't you try..."
Zhang Yao interrupted him, "That's two different things."
"Brother, I still worship you and regard you as my idol. Do I want to chase you?"
Huang Dan has nothing to say.
Zhang's mother in the kitchen called them to come in and make noodles.
Zhang's mother cooks delicious food, but cooking noodles is really bad. She just uses the word "cook" to its fullest throughout the whole process, and the noodles end up getting stuck in the pot and rotten.
Zhang Yao ate two chopsticks of noodles, yawned and went upstairs to sleep.
Huang Dan sympathized with her. There was no door upstairs, and any sound from downstairs would be amplified several times upstairs. When the workers came to have breakfast later, the volume was so loud that a dead pig could shake it.
Not long after, about the time Huang Dan drank half a bowl of noodle soup, someone came in to buy something.
The small shop got busy, so Zhang's father didn't go back to sleep. He came out and sat on the stool to light a cigarette, staring at everyone through the smoke, for fear that someone would fish in troubled waters. His eyes were protruding and bloodshot. Just insomnia.
There are three or four large water bottles by the wall, which Zhang's mother burned early in the morning. Workers usually buy instant noodles in the morning and soak them here.
The yellow slip at the counter was very sleepy, so he took the opened chewing gum in the drawer and tore a piece into his mouth, relying on this to refresh himself, he planned to go to the office to sleep in the morning.
A young man came over with a few things, "How much?"
Take a look at the yellow sheet, "Instant noodles cost four yuan, ham sausage one piece, and two breads cost two yuan, a total of seven yuan."
The young man took out banknotes from the pocket behind his buttocks. When he remembered something, he went to the freezer to get a bottle of Coke, and threw a ten-dollar bill over there, "Right?"
The yellow sheet said it was right, if you buy it every day, you will know the price.
The young man walked to the door with noodles that had been filled with boiling water, and he suddenly called out, "Hurry up, you'll have to squat down to eat."
The next moment, a group of people walked in, there were a dozen or twenty of them, and among them was the man. Aside from that face, he was the tallest, at least [-].
The small shop was already small, and with so many adults standing, it seemed even more crowded.
After a few glances at Huang Dan, he became confused, and there was no way to be sure who had stolen something. He only knew that this group of people and the young man were from the same place and had the same accent.
Monitoring still needs to be installed.
Even if you can't prevent thieves, you can check to see if someone has stolen something.
Qi Feng strode over and put down the things in his hand, "Calculate how much it is."
Huang Dan reached out to pick up the spicy snacks on the counter, including small yellow croakers, dried tofu, and sliced bamboo shoots. "These are one yuan a bag."
Qi Feng said, "I know, I often buy."
Huang Dan counted his belongings, "It's eight and a half dollars in total."
Qi Feng propped his elbows on the counter, glanced at the cigarettes inside, tapped a few times with his index finger, "Bring me another pack of Nanjing."
Huang Dan said, "It's made of glass, so it can't be pressed."
Qi Feng didn't lift his eyelids.
Huang Dan knew that this person was not easy to mess with.
Soon, the few tables outside were full, and the smell of instant noodles filled the air, very strong.
Just as Huang Dan was about to sit down and rest for a while, he saw two people approaching Qi Feng's table. One looked to be in his 30s. His name was He Peng, he was also a foreman, and he led a group of people to work.
He Peng's long and handsome hair is greasy, as if it hasn't been washed for several months. He strokes his hair twice with one hand, and holds a cigarette in the other hand, "You eat this in the morning?"
Qi Feng ignored him.
He Peng turned his target to the young man next to Qi Feng, "Yangyang, you are in your teens, and it is time to grow your body, so you can't be careless about breakfast."
"This instant noodles are carcinogenic, don't you know?"
Zhou Yang put on a look of surprise, "I don't know, Boss He knows a lot, tell me so."
The others laughed.
"How can we compare with Boss He? It's good to have instant noodles."
He Peng's face darkened, and seeing Zhou Yang unscrew the cap of the Coke bottle, he grinned, "Yangyang, didn't your Big Brother Qi tell you? Drinking too much Coke will kill sperm."
Zhou Yang didn't understand all of a sudden, he turned his head and asked Qi Feng, "What is it?"
Qi Feng didn't respond.
The people behind He Peng gave Zhou Yang the answer, his face flushed, and he looked at the Coke in his hand in disbelief, "Is it true? Can this thing kill the descendants of my Zhou family?"
Qi Feng whispered, "Go to work after eating."
Zhou Yang also lazily talked nonsense to He Peng. He put on his gloves, stuffed the Coke bottle into his back pocket, and walked slowly across the road to the construction site opposite.
The others didn't stay long after they were full. They did more work while the weather was still not too hot. When the sun was high, a layer of skin could be peeled off.
No one cleaned up, the table was in a mess, and a large wave of flies came around, biting the instant noodle bucket and the bread bag.
The foreman is different from the workers, there is no need to rush to do things, Qi Feng smokes after eating the instant noodles, he is still sitting on the stool, and he will not leave until he finishes smoking a cigarette.
He Peng raised his foot, hooked a plastic stool in front of him, and sat down, "When do you plan to cap it?"
Qi Feng was smoking a cigarette, "Not necessarily."
He Peng swallowed clouds and mist together with him, with calculations in his eyes, "I got a word from Mr. Liu, saying that a truckload of steel bars will come in two days, and it belongs to Lao Wang. Why don't the two of us work together to get the steel bars together?" Take it down, half of each person?"
Qi Feng laughed, "Aren't you and Lao Wang on good terms, are you almost becoming brothers who worship you?"
He Peng listened to the sarcasm in the words, his face turned blue and red, took a deep breath on the cigarette, squinted his eyes and said, "Brothers have to share when."
"Give me a quick word, do you want to do this?"
Qi Feng was not interested, and said coolly, "Old Wang must kill us."
"Not at all. At most, he brought people to fight with us. If the two groups of us join together, we can't suffer."
He Peng's tone was a bit strange, "Little brother Zhang is looking at you."
Qi Feng thought He Peng was joking at first, but when he turned his head to look at the counter and met a gaze, he raised his eyebrows, "Little brother, what do you think I am doing?"
Huang Dan's eyes stopped on He Peng, "I didn't look at you, but the one who did."
He Peng immediately looked like a villain, as if he was happier than anything else when Qi Feng was beaten, "Oh? Really? Brother Zhang, why do you want to look at me?"
Huang Dan said, "There are vegetable leaves on your teeth."
He Peng, "..."
Qi Feng's shoulders trembled, and he smiled for the first time in the morning. He stood up, flicked a little cigarette ash off his T-shirt, and lazily went to the construction site.
Huang Dan's eyes narrowed slightly, and he didn't look closely at four or five o'clock in the morning, only now did he realize that the man's buttocks are very upturned.
It was the kind of warping he was familiar with.
He Peng's eyes were fierce, "Little brother Zhang, are you kidding me?!"
Huang Dan withdrew his gaze, "It really is."
He Peng was furious, "I bared my teeth to the point of smoking, and I didn't see a vegetable leaf. You can show me."
Huang Dan looked at the man's teeth, they were not as neat as Qi Feng's, "It's gone."
He Peng turned his head, "Old Zhang, don't you care about your son? Playing with people early in the morning?"
Zhang's father was still puffing and worrying, "Xiaohe, I didn't say that, my son's eyesight is very good, he said you have vegetable leaves on your teeth, then there must be, you can't be wrong."
He Peng took a puff on his cigarette and spit it out, "Then tell me, why is it gone again?"
Father Zhang looked like an idiot, "What else could be the reason, I was eaten by you."
He Peng left with a livid face.
Huang Dan put on a curious tone, "Dad, were those two people just now foremen?"
"The one you mentioned is He Peng, and the other is Qi Feng. They are indeed foremen, but they are not from the same place."
Father Zhang finished his cigarette, and he stomped on the cigarette butt with his shoe, "We have a good relationship, and we are close together. These are all made on the surface, and there is a lot of competition between the foremen behind their backs. You don't understand."
Huang Dan said, "Dad, tell me, could it be some foreman who brought people into the small shop?"
Father Zhang's face darkened, "I doubted it too."
"But there is no mark on the money and cigarettes. Even if that person used it in front of us, we don't know."
Huang Dan asked, "Is there anything else missing at home?"
Father Zhang, "Except for cigarettes and money, there is nothing else. If there is, would your father not know about it?"
Huang Dan just mentioned it casually, and the reaction of the middle-aged man was a bit weird.
He still wanted to ask, but was interrupted by the shopping worker.
When looking at the sky in the early morning, Huang Dan thought it would rain today, but it turned out to be a sunny day.
Those who run small shops like this kind of weather. The hotter the sun, the hotter the workers, and the more water and drinks they sell.
Huang Dan found out that young workers are not restrained in spending money.
I have already spent about ten yuan for breakfast in a mess, and I bought a bottle of Nutrition Express to supplement nutrition when I left.
After this wave of workers left, Zhang's mother began to clean up the tables, chairs and benches. She deliberately swept the broom to Zhang's father, and the dust on the concrete floor was swept up.
Father Zhang kicked her, "Crazy you!"
Mother Zhang continued to scan.
Zhang's father stood up and scolded, the old couple blushed from the quarrel and their necks were thick, and they entered a state of cold war again.
Huang Dan wanted to get a cup to pour water, but when he saw a fly floating in the cup, he frowned, and silently went to the faucet to rinse.
Since this area has not been developed, the green pools have been abandoned.
The area in front of the small shop was used by Zhang's mother. In addition to stacking large boxes for garbage, she also planted several rows of peppers, and there were a few lettuce seedlings in the middle, which were pulled by the roadside when the original owner came back from work.
Huang Dan looked at the time displayed on the phone, "Mom, I'm going to work."
Zhang's mother responded, "I'll see if I can come back early in the morning, and go buy goods with Xiaoyao."
Huang Dan said, "I'll see the situation when the time comes."
He went to the back room to change his shoes, and when he was about to leave, Zhang's father stopped him, "Zhicheng, have you ordered cigarettes this week?"
After being stunned for a few seconds, Huang Dan said, "I forgot."
Zhang's father immediately became angry, "What can you do well? If you order a cigarette, you can forget about it!"
The yellow order waited for the middle-aged man to finish training, "I'll order it now."
Father Zhang said with a straight face, "Can I still order?"
On the "New Business Alliance" website on the yellow list, "Yes, Dad, what do you want to order?"
Father Zhang's face is still serious, "Didn't I tell you? Look at Hard Zhonghua, Soft Zhonghua, and Liqun. Are these three cigarettes in stock?"
Those kinds of cigarettes are limited, and they will be released as soon as they are available, so as not to be unordered in the future, and they are also selling well.
I read the yellow slip and said there are more.
Zhang's father told him to order quickly, and his tone was much better than before.
Once the yellow order was ordered, he searched the original owner's memory and ordered all the long-ordered cigarettes.
Generally, cigarettes are ordered on weekends, and people from the Tobacco Bureau will deliver the cigarettes around [-]:[-] on Wednesday morning.
After ordering the cigarettes, Huang Dan said, "Dad, it's almost [-]."
Father Zhang remained silent.
Huang Dan was helpless, and the remaining money in the original owner's card was used to buy goods. Several relatives on her father's side were quite rich, but they couldn't borrow much.
The original owner had a second uncle, who was his father's elder brother.
His father was an upstart in the village in his early years, and he took his second uncle to work with him, and made money together.
The second uncle is well-off, but he has money but says he has no money.
As a result, he quietly bought a car worth two hundred thousand yuan, but he didn't dare to drive it. He called the original owner's father and told him to drive the new car back.
As for the relatives of the original owner's mother, most of them don't have much money. They either farm at home or work as part-time workers outside. Only one aunt has some money.
The aunt and the original owner's mother are sisters, and they borrowed 10 yuan from his family, and also lent the money saved by their own handicrafts to his mother.
After all, the relationship between brothers and sisters is not the same thing.
The matter of borrowing money already includes a lot of things, and it cannot be explained thoroughly in a few words.
Huang Dan heard Zhang's father on the phone, he probably borrowed money from someone, he couldn't help, so he went to work without thinking too much.
The company was in the playground, Huang Dan walked and watched, and met some tourists who came to play.
This playground was the project that the original owner's father took over at that time. The developer has not yet recovered the cost, and the location is too far away.
So the original owner's father's money will not be returned.
When Huang Dan entered the office, he was alone, and the director was not there. He turned on the computer and went into the original owner's daily routine - looking for a movie to watch.
At ten o'clock in the morning, there was a thunderstorm, and Huang Dan got off work early. When he returned from the rain, he saw a group of people surrounded by the cigarette machine, which was very lively.
If workers don't work, they naturally don't get paid.
They are treated very differently from office workers. How much time they work and how much they get paid for is very clear and ruthless.
And office workers are paid holidays.
Huang Dan discovered that Qi Feng was playing, he stepped forward curiously, and saw that the other party was controlling the machine and had already clamped a pack of cigarettes, he was the Ninth Five-Year Master.
The crowd cheered, happier than they caught a cigarette.
The machine was put by the owner of the fishing tackle shop, and it cost one yuan a time. When he saw Qi Feng snatch the Nine-Five Lord, the muscles on his face pulled several times.
If you want to ask who he least wants to play, it is Qi Feng.
This guy's luck is so good that he can't do anything if he blocks his way of making money.
Qi Feng threw the pack of cigarettes to Zhou Yang and asked him to share it with the big guys.
Zhou Yang cheerfully unpacked the cigarettes, throwing one at a time for each person, and the pack was quickly gone, "Brother Qi, play again."
Qi Feng had no interest, "I don't want to play anymore, you guys can play."
He sat down on the chair, crossed his legs on the table, and began to snuff.
Huang Dan shook his head, this man is really addicted to smoking.
Qi Feng glanced at the young man who lowered his head and rubbed the mud, "Little brother, did you get off work so early?"
Huang Dan wiped off a large piece of mud from the bottom of his feet, "I came back early."
Qi Feng tutted, "Sitting in an office is a blessing, no wonder your face is whiter than a girl's."
Zhou Yang nodded in agreement, "It's so white, whiter than pearls."
"..."
Huang Dan entered the small shop and saw two strangers talking to Zhang's father and Zhang's mother. When he got closer, he heard the content of the conversation. He knew that they were from the police station and came to ask about the situation.
When asked if she was sure that only cigarettes and cash were lost, Zhang's mother was fine, but Zhang's father had an expression that was not quite right.
Huang Dan caught it, and his brow twitched slightly, he must have lost something else.
That thing was very important, Zhang's father didn't dare to tell Zhang's mother, so he kept it a secret knowing that it would be detrimental to the progress of the case.
