Chapter 72 Interlude 4: Watching the sky at dawn and watching the clouds at dusk

Almost at the same time when the project results were announced, Jiang Xinyue's father's company's payment was in place. The research institute deducted a part that should be deducted, and after paying off Lin Lang's money, the rest is enough for me to buy a house in Shencheng City and pay the down payment of.

After receiving the money, I rolled up my pots and pans and went back to Lao Xu's project team. Given how much he admired me, the new juniors and juniors all grew up listening to my stories, so I From the mouse-feeding boy to the crown prince who embraces the front and back—I finally became the upper class of his pyramid sale chain, and went home to visit relatives with a few days of special approval.

It's the first time that Cary has so much money in all these years since I came out.My father has seen a little bit of the world, so he should be able to accept it, but I was afraid that I would tell my mother that she would not sleep well at night, so I only took [-] yuan and took it home.

Since I changed my major, my family always thought that what I graduated from pharmacy was the work that I used to do in the traditional Chinese medicine shop, and because I often called my mother to send me sauerkraut in winter, everyone thought I earned a lot of money. The money is only enough to eat, and I can't even afford food, so I don't have too many demands on me.This time, as soon as I got the money back, my mother couldn't hold back: "Son, how much money can you save in a year now?"

Me: "What's the matter? Mom, you can buy whatever you want."

My mother: "Your dad and I have saved some money, and we can almost get a wife together. If you don't have a match, I'll ask your aunt to introduce one to you!"

I used the big dog shield as a shield: "Mom, there's no need, just let my aunt worry about my elder brother."

My mother: "If only you had your big brother so you can rest easy! The big dog doesn't need your aunt to worry about it long ago."

It took me a long time to react with my chopsticks in my mouth: "What?"

Big dog has a date?

In the past two years after entering the graduate school, I actually came back quite frequently, but I can only take vacations according to the situation of the research institute, so I may not go home according to the annual holiday schedule.The occasional encounter with Dagou was a hasty meeting. I didn't have time to eat alone. I was busy visiting relatives. I didn't know much about his situation. I only heard that he was running around in the city to dawdle.

My mood is very complicated, and I can't tell whether I am happy or unhappy.

On our side, "running goods" includes various meanings such as doing small business, delivering goods to people, and reselling things in villages. My father and his father did the same when they were young. After studying for so many years, Dagou finally learned The son inherited his father's career, and I even had the idea that he went to the university just to get acquainted with "that person".

After five or six years, my big dog brother has grown from a boy who can only drink and fight to a man who knows how to make money and support his family. He has experienced love and being loved, and finally broke up with the person he loved at a certain intersection?Maybe it's not that they don't love enough, or that they don't love well enough, it's just that love has come to an end, there is nowhere to go.

Was it raining in the sky that day, did the sentimental dog shed tears again, and was he accompanied by cold draft beer or hot liquor?I blamed myself for being negligent in contact with him these years. He must have had no one to talk to on the day he was saddest.

As a brother and friend, I sincerely hope that the person in front of him is the love of his life, and at the same time, that person can also be devoted to him.

Before returning to Shencheng, I went to the city to transfer trains. I really wanted to meet Dagou, and I would like to see how his other half was, so I dialed his number: "Dog, I am..."

Big Dog: "Second brother, I'm in Shencheng! Why did you remember to call me? My uncle said that you were working for others, and he was afraid that you would be scolded by the boss. You call!"

Me: "Oh."

The big dog said: "Are you free today? Come out and have a meal together, you haven't seen me for a long time, you must miss me all the time!"

Me: "Oh, wait an hour."

The big dog said disgustedly: "You see you have a lot of things to do, I have to wait for you for a meal, are you the brother or am I the brother? Come on, let's hurry up."

Although my mother has told me the ending, I still don't want to admit that two people who once loved each other so much will be forced to separate alive by reality.I pretended not to know and asked: "Dog, are you with that person?"

Dagou was about to hang up the phone, but when he heard my words, he brought the phone closer: "Oh, you said him. How can you?"

The autumn wind is a bit dry, blowing so hard that I can't even wet my eye sockets. The earth is big tomorrow, but it can't accommodate two hands that want to hold tightly.

The big dog whispered, "Shencheng is so close, it's only an hour's drive away, so why should he come with me? I'm not the tired young man now, I think he's already tired of seeing him! The sky is in charge of the east and the west, and I have to report to him after smoking a cigarette, this time I will leave him at home to watch the door, and come out to be cool for two days!"

Me: "Oh."

I had more questions in my mind than I had attended an academic report, so I returned to Shencheng on the slow bus in a hurry.Big Dog asked me to have dinner in an authentic Northeast restaurant. As soon as I lifted the curtain, I saw that half of the food had been eaten by him.

The big dog who had sucked up half of the yang energy of the meal was in good spirits, and was happily picking his teeth, showing no signs of being driven to a dead end by the world.

We both ate from the same bowl when we were young, and I was content with him leaving half of it for me. I sat down and picked up my chopsticks and asked, "Dog, what are you doing in Shencheng this time?"

Big Dog: "Purchase. I'm doing a children's toy business in the city, and I'll ship this batch back to sell. I've already found the logistics to send back the items I bought. I'll play them for two days before leaving."

As he spoke, he picked up a small bookkeeping book from the table and handed it to me.

I took a look and saw a dazzling line of "37×70=3770".I put down the chopsticks and took out the pen from his hand, and changed the number to "2590".

The big dog stretched his neck and watched me complete the modification, and clapped his hands together: "Hey! If you didn't see it, I think 3770 is quite pleasing to the eye! I said how many times I did the calculations, but the number is not correct, the second child Look again, is there anything else wrong?"

I glanced at his account book worriedly. The total purchase amount was about 5000 yuan. According to the market of running goods in our hometown, such turnover is not a small amount.I asked: "Where did you get so much money to buy the goods? He took it from home?"

Dagou smiled: "No, his family knows about us now, so they won't give him a penny, and we both earn money by ourselves."

Ever since I knew the two were still together, I no longer cared about whether Dagou’s accounting method can make money. It just so happens that the money in my hand will not be needed for a while. If he needs it, I will lend it to him or even give it to him. Yes, I am more concerned about how the two of them survived the past few years, and whether that person treats him as before.I asked, "Are you and your partner okay?"

The big dog cut off a toothpick with a look of annoyance: "Why mention him, I'm tired of watching it, so let's do it, make do, anyway, no one wants him except me."

I was surprised and asked, "What happened to him? He didn't take the civil service exam?"

The big dog popped a cigarette out of the cigarette case: "He took the exam, he was [-] yuan, and he went to a tutoring class worth several thousand yuan. In the end, he got [-] points in both administration and theory. He took the test again. Later, his family arranged for him to work at a provincial highway toll station, which costs five or ten yuan a car, in a very remote place. Originally, he wanted to collect two years of money and quietly raise it for him. Then he was transferred back, but he said that he thought it was troublesome to change the money, so all those who walked in his lane were let go, and they were reported and fired within two weeks."

I:"……"

I silently picked up two chopsticks and calmed down for a while, then asked, "Where did you get the 1 yuan?"

Dagou lit his cigarette and took a puff, and said inscrutablely in the cloud: "It's a long story. Didn't I do an internship several years ago? The e-commerce in our school, where do you think I can go for an internship? I had no choice but to go to a printing shop to copy things for others. I simply set up a street stall by myself. At that time, I sold toys, because I was a straightforward person, and I couldn’t play with people. I could only deal with children. One advantage of selling toys is Well, when the kid saw how much money he got, he wanted to buy it desperately..."

Me: "Then you cheated 1 parents, sold 1 toys, and earned 10 yuan?"

The big dog flicked the ashes: "I'm going to tell you about business, be serious - he was kicked out by his family at that time, and neither of us had any money, so we set up street stalls in front of the school during the day and by the river at night. In the night market, a toy can be purchased for five or six yuan, and it can be sold for about ten yuan, and seven or eight can be sold in one night. Because of the street stalls, the price is the only one in people’s minds, and if they can’t sell the price, the children who come to buy toys are also I looked around because I was good-looking..."

With 50 yuan a day, he can earn 1 yuan for half a year without eating or drinking, which is too inconsistent with his current liquidity of more than [-] yuan.But since we are close relatives and have a slight similar appearance, he said that he is good-looking actually means that I am good-looking, so I did not refute his last sentence.I said, "Just tell me where the money came from."

Big Dog: "Just about to talk. One night when my partner wasn't there, I opened the stall by myself, and I saw two young people across the road looking at me. I had that stall for more than a week, and I wondered if it could be Come grab the space with me, and the two of them are well-dressed at first glance, I wondered if it was fun to see my things for sale, so I smiled at them, like this."

The big dog grinned enthusiastically and obsequiously, and I cooperated with him to take a casual look: "Then, did they wrap up for you?"

Big Dog: "The two of them saw me smiling, and they came over after a discussion. One asked me, sir, does your family live in the back row of No. 23 North Street, Central Center, Hangwa Village?"

I was surprised: "Isn't this my home address?"

Big Dog: "Yeah, I was so scared that I got goosebumps, and it was night, and there were some street lights around but it wasn't too bright. I took a closer look, and the two men looked just like those in ancient costumes on TV. It looks like a man in the film, I feel like I must be a ghost, I want to run after leaving the stall, but in those few days, I have made a mistake, cough, and I can’t run fast. One of the men caught up with two steps He pinched my wrist and held me, and I realized that his hands were hot so I wasn’t so scared. The man asked me, what’s your name.”

Me: "He knows where your hometown lives, but he doesn't know your name?"

Big Dog: "Yeah, don't you think it's strange? Let me tell you, two heroes, my name is Li Lingxiao, you can take whatever you like, don't worry about why you came to me, I'm poor and white, please let me go. Then The two of them summed up my name there, talking about Ling Xiao Ling Xiao, I thought to myself that if you are optimistic about my name, you can take it, let me go quickly, I am still scared when my partner is not around... …Then the person holding me pinched my wrist, like an imperial doctor on TV seeing a doctor, felt my pulse, and said that I had external injuries, rheumatism, viscera, internal heat, drunkenness, etc... Do you know what it is?"

I thought about it for a moment: "'Viscera are inherently empty, drunk and full, and want to commit suicide', what he said is an article in "Danxi Xinfa". This liar must have been eyeing you for several days, knowing that you have this problem .Run you, you bluffer."

The big dog waved his hand with a cigarette in his hand: "These two are not liars. As soon as he finished speaking, the other person took out a pack of small bottles from nowhere, picked a small bottle for me, and asked me to take one pill every day." , a total of three."

The air in the private room was suddenly quiet, and I stared blankly at him: "You must have eaten."

Big Dog: "Eat."

I was so shocked that I almost jumped on the stool: "Didn't my aunt tell you not to eat other people's food? Huh? When did you eat it? How long have you eaten it? Have you had your blood checked? Have you had a physical examination? What are your symptoms?"

The big dog motioned me to calm down, and said: "I didn't eat it at first. But later, I went back and looked at it. The emerald bottle he gave me was very good. I took it to the gold store and asked, and they said it was like It is genuine, but you have to find a place to do the appraisal. If it is natural and the carving is so good, it will be worth a lot of money. I don’t think people need to fool me with such a good bottle. I just ate it all, and it’s pretty good. The food is the same as hawthorn candy."

I felt that one head and two were big, and I scratched my hair vigorously and asked, "What's the reaction after eating?"

The big dog was very happy: "Two days after eating, I will be fine, and I haven't committed any crimes until now. Do you think what he gave me is a special medicine from the ancestral recipe or something?"

I rubbed my face wearily: "You think too much, the lesion of hemorrhoids is special, once formed, taking medicine, sitz bath and medicine suppository can only relieve the symptoms, treat the symptoms but not the root cause, and if you don't pay attention, it will recur. Surgical resection of the lesion, and then proper maintenance can completely cure it. Besides, how many times have you relapsed, and you still don’t know it? Besides this, what else do you eat?”

Big Dog: "I didn't eat the food, but I took it. The man said he would give me money, and I said I didn't even know how you could take your money. He said you take it first, and if you need it later, you can get it." Look for him, maybe he still needs my help."

Wait, why do these words sound familiar to me?I hurriedly asked, "Do you know the names of those two people?"

Dagou took out his mobile phone: "A person left me a number, and left without saying anything. It's this number—I checked it online, and it's not a scam call."

I took out my mobile phone and entered the phone number, two words were displayed on the screen - Lin Lang.

It's over, when did this guy return to China, his hallucinations have escalated again, did he really treat the big dog as the Jade Emperor and came to give gifts?Put a pill in the jade bottle, what did he make for the big dog, there will be no cinnabar, mercury or something?No wonder seeing Dagou this time felt that he was even more stupid, a standard symptom of heavy metal poisoning.

Those big dogs with unknown ingredients have been taking pills for at least a year or two, and the damage to internal organs is already irreversible.I asked, "How much did he pay you?"

Big Dog lowered his voice and said, "He said he had my card number and called me 100 million the next day."

I could only sit still with my head supported on my arms: "Do you dare to take 100 million? Does your partner know about this?"

Big Dog: "I must have told him."

I sincerely asked: "Then why are you still here? Why didn't he kill you silly bear with the sole of his shoe?"

The big dog crossed Erlang's legs and slowly took a puff of smoke: "My partner said, it's only 100 million, and he will pay it back for me when people come to ask for money. If I really want someone to cheat him, he will pay for me."

I:"……"

I have been concentrating on the conversation since I entered the door, and then I took the time to look at the big dog carefully.Big Dog is no longer the thin and malnourished teenager in high school, his face is much fairer and more moist than when he was in the village, his clothes are not fancy but layered, and there is even a man's silk scarf tied inside the collar of his shirt. Wearing a watch whose price I can't see, the texture seems to be very particular.

From what I know of him, this is definitely not what he can clean up by himself.

I looked down again at my green plaid shirt, the red woolen vest my mother knitted for me, and my jeans, which were stained with mud spots when I went back to the village, and the mud shells fell off after drying, leaving only black marks , let out a lonely "Oh": "Then he treats you very well."

The big dog raised his eyebrows obediently after getting the cheap price: "It's average, what's so rare about it. He took the money faster than I spent it, and within two days he opened a shop directly opposite the primary school in the city center. When I was looking for someone to decorate, it was the front door. I was going to set up a stall and he wouldn’t let me go, saying that it was cold and cold outside, and when the decoration was finished, I would sit in the house and count the money every day.”

The more I listened, the more I felt that my mental state had been hit by an unknown person, so I forced myself to ask: "What's going on in your family? Why did my mother tell me that you have a date?"

Big Dog: "It's not that I have a partner. I bought a small house in the city. It's already been handed over, so I moved out my household registration. In this way, whether you get married or not in the future, I don't care what I say. I don’t know how to check the status of the Civil Affairs Bureau. If I have to go home for ceremonies and Chinese New Year holidays, I’m going to find a female classmate with whom I have a good relationship. If it’s not possible, I can hire an actor. I’ll be fooling around for two years, and then I’ll say that my partner is sick. No, I don’t want to look for it anymore. By the way, my homestead at home has been handed over to Sangou. He will build a pig pen to raise a few pigs in the spring of next year. When you build a house next to the pig pen, you can If you can help him take care of it, don’t be afraid, the southeast wind blows from the southeast on your side in summer, and if it’s really a bit of a smell in winter, it’s probably not too big, anyway, we must build a shed.”

I:"……"

We are the same age, grew up together, walked out of the same small village, the second batch of Dagou Sanben University, and now bought a house, and someone at home is waiting for him to go back to eat; and I, the 985 project national ranking The top three medical universities have thousands of miles of rivers and mountains in their chests and thousands of volumes of poems and books in their minds. When they enter, they lean against the air-cooled wall of the research institute, and when they retreat, they rely on the new circle of piglets next to the house.

The dishes in this restaurant are well done, but it is a bit difficult to digest after eating.

The big dog took out his wallet and paid the bill smartly, and we stood at the door of the restaurant chatting to digest our food.

He clicked his tongue and spit out a round smoke ring: "Second boy, tell me, can I make a lot of money with the remaining hundreds of thousands? When I make a lot of money, I will tell him to let him But make it vigorously, make it casually, I will support him."

I:"……"

It’s past time for eating and going to work. When the autumn wind blows, a golden avenue is paved with fallen leaves. Sometimes couples walk by, even the street view hurts me.I looked around and reached out to point him to a place: "Dog, do you see the small supermarket across the way?"

The big dog stretched out his head and looked: "Is that the one with the scrolling screen? I see it, it's just average. You want me to set up a shop like that? Can it make money?"

Me: "I'm asking you to go to the opposite side to buy a mirror to take a picture later, and then buy a calculator to check your account book again. If you have nothing to do, go to the supermarket to buy more milk to drink, maybe you can metabolize some heavy metals in your body." .”

The big dog was not happy: "What do you mean!"

I sighed silently, more bleak than the autumn wind, and then looked back at the figures of our brothers reflected on the floor-to-ceiling glass doors of the hotel: "Dog, are you staying here for two days? Go shopping with my brother to buy some clothes Bar."

The big dog tilted his head and looked at me: "Aren't you well dressed?"

I took a deep breath: "Then let's change?"

The big dog started to unbutton his vest with a cigarette in his mouth: "Okay, didn't we change clothes when we were young, and it happened to be the same size as us, so you can wear it when you see it."

I happily took off my red woolen vest, and was about to change into the street despite the cold wind, when Dagou's cell phone rang suddenly.He took it out and took a look, then smacked his lips: "Ah, why did I get sick after only coming out for half a day!"

Out of my professional habits, I conditioned to ask: "Who is sick? What disease?"

The big dog looked anxious: "Second brother, what should I do, my partner said that my bed is sick, and now I want to see me."

I hugged my blue coat and red vest and shivered in the autumn wind: "...Is the bed sick or is he sick?"

The big dog spat at me: "Bah, don't talk nonsense."

I said indifferently: "We haven't seen each other for a year, you see him every day, you decide for yourself."

The big dog’s eyes were as pure and clear as when he was young, he looked at the phone, and then at me: "Second, you are right, we haven’t seen each other for a year... It’s been a year since we haven’t seen each other. Well, it means that we are not bad for a day, I'd better go back and look at my bed first."

The autumn wind is ruthless, and the leaves of the sycamore trees are blowing all over the ground. I stand in the withered season and say coldly: "Get lost."

The big dog waved at me: "I'm going back first—our house is being renovated, and I'll call you when I finish the hot pot."

Another gust of colder autumn wind hit, and I angrily said, "Get lost."

The big dog took two steps, and found that the buttons of his vest were still open, and turned his head again: "Hey, can we change the clothes? Forget it, why not next time, anyway, you are not interested, so what do you wear? Not all the same, and no one is looking at you."

"Shut up, talk will kill you!"
