Chapter 364 The middleman——Uncle Bao

I found the decorator, who was introduced by my father's friend Uncle Bao. When I arrived, I found out that he and my parents were old acquaintances and they used to work in the factory together.

After being laid off, he changed his profession and became a decoration master.

Uncle Bao calls him Abiao.

He is obviously about the same age as his parents, but when you look at him, you always feel that he is more than ten years older. His face is dark and thin, and he looks like a man who works hard.

"Don't worry, since we are old friends, I will definitely give you the best price." He came to his father's store just to say hello. He had other things to do and left quickly. "If you need anything, call us.

connect."

Uncle Bao shouted, "Since we all know each other, let's have a drink and a meal together sometime."

He waved his hand: "Let's talk about it when we have time."

Presumably I don't have time either.

"Oh, he is a very busy man."

Uncle Bao just wanted to earn some agency fees. Seeing that he couldn't eat, he immediately stared at his father and said, "Ah Wu, what do you think? I said you can find someone if you can, right?"

"Yes, yes." Dad also praised without hesitation, "You are capable."

The two of them hugged each other and called each other brothers, as if they had been old friends for decades.

"Hahaha." Uncle Bao's laughter was very funny. It was dry and astringent, as if he was about to die, and he seemed to be sneering.

When a group of people are together, his laughter can suddenly stand out.

Not normal anyway.

"Ah Wu, you want to treat me to dinner another day."

"Definitely, definitely."

After my father finished solving the things that his mother told him, he breathed a sigh of relief and casually asked Uncle Bao: "What have you been doing recently?"

"What can I do? I can still help my boss with errands and run errands. I can only earn so much money in a month." Uncle Bao showed off euphemistically, "But during the Chinese New Year, I can get more money."

"We have all the year-end bonuses." Dad replied with a smile.

Uncle Bao became polite again: "How can I compare to you, Boss Ah Wu?"

"Hahaha."

There was another burst of harsh laughter.

Every time they wanted to talk, my sister and I wanted to leave and go outside for a while. It was better to listen to the honking of the car than to listen to their laughter.

Fortunately, my father's laughter is quite normal.

But if you stay with Uncle Bao for a long time, sooner or later you will be led astray and end up laughing like this old fool.

My mother will also ask us: "Does your uncle A Bao often come to your store to see your father?"

"Um."

"What did they two say?"

Having learned from the experience of lending money to Jianzhong and still not getting it back, my mother is very cautious about friends who appear around my father.

We are also helping to be vigilant, and have not mentioned borrowing money yet. After all, Uncle Bao also knows what our family is like. He just scraped together enough money to buy a house, and he still needs to borrow money to renovate it, so he has no surplus on hand.

But despite this, he still wanted to come over and get something to eat. If grandma bought the osmanthus cake or mint cake for his father, he would shamelessly ask for a piece of it.

It doesn’t matter how much money I have. Dad will give away the piece of food if he doesn’t want to eat it.

There were originally two pieces.

My sister liked these pastries, so she asked for a piece from her father and ate it first. The remaining piece was reserved for him to eat when he was hungry in the afternoon. As soon as noon came, Uncle Bao came and said he was out for the boss.

After going to the bank, it was time to take a break at noon, so I came to my dad’s shop to have some fun.

"Don't think it's too much trouble for me, Boss Ah Wu." He always shouted one boss at a time. He usually shouted frequently, and he always shouted smoothly.

My father was very happy when he heard it, and he entertained me warmly every time.

My sister and I listened to them brag again and again, ranging from selling fish and chickens in the vegetable market to talking about football, stocks, and even national affairs.

"If we could do business together at that time, then we two would be kings now, hahaha." Uncle Bao always said such hypothetical words.

Dad would also nod in agreement: "Yes." After sighing about the past life, he handed out a cigarette and said, "Here, smoke one."

"Zhonghua, what a smoke." Uncle Bao's eyes lit up when he saw the good stuff.

Dad handed him another one and explained: "I bought it for the decoration workers. I bought a box, two packs per person. After dividing it, there was still more, so I smoked it myself."

"Your Yue Mei doesn't talk about you?" Uncle Bao also likes to watch the fun.

Dad couldn't keep his face and said: "Don't tell me, what can she say? My brother is like my old man and he doesn't smoke. Have you seen her brother?"

"I've seen it before, why haven't I seen it before?" Uncle Bao said exaggeratedly, "You forgot, I was also here at the sixteenth birthday party of the two little ones. Yue Mei's brother is their uncle, right?

That thin little one is quite polite when he talks."

"She has a good memory." Dad praised, "Her brother smokes more than me, and he has been in poor health recently. She has called him to tell him to smoke less."

After hearing this, Uncle Bao suddenly calmed down: "I heard that people who smoke have black lungs, right?"

Dad understood that he still had to smoke: "It must be black. Have you seen it on TV? People like us who have smoked for more than ten years will already have a black lung. People who have smoked for a lifetime will have their entire lungs black."

"Is there any way to get better?" Uncle Bao rarely became serious, as if he was afraid of death. After all, he had a smart and sensible son.

My father has two daughters and we have to work hard to make money to support our family: "How can I get better when I'm in trouble?"

Yes, you can smoke e-cigarettes.

I saw a TV commercial promoting this kind of thing, and it also showed a comparison of the lungs of people who smoke regular and e-cigarettes. One is very dark, and the other is not dark.

There is nicotine in e-cigarettes, there is no tar, and it will not turn black when inhaled into the lungs, but there are still disadvantages, that's for sure.

If you want to be healthy, you still have to quit smoking.

"I remember, when Yue Mei was pregnant, you didn't smoke, right?" Uncle Bao said, "Unlike me, I have been involved in society for a long time, and the first thing I learned was smoking. I also quit smoking when my wife was pregnant.

I couldn't let it go, so I had to sleep separately from her."

Dad thought about the past and was quite emotional: "I didn't smoke at first, but when I was working in a rice factory, people would always pass them to me. I was embarrassed if I didn't accept them. I accepted them and said I would smoke them later, but there was no place to put them back.

I would pin them on my ears, two at a time, and there was no place to put them. The lighter was stretched out, so I took a puff. I still couldn't take a puff, so I took off all the cigarettes from my ears and put them out.

My pockets were all wrinkled when I got home. If my old man didn’t eat them, he would find a box to put them in for me so that I could pass them to others to eat next time.”

"You old man still understands this bit of worldliness." Uncle Bao started laughing again, "How could a person who looks so serious agree with you to smoke?"

"After we were laid off, we moved out and stopped living with him. We opened this store. It was boring to be alone when there was no business. There were no QQ or online games at that time. So we just took out the cigarettes and smoked them. The smell

It’s different.”

"Hahaha." Uncle Bao laughed again.

Dad laughed too.

We reported to my mother: "They just sit together, smoke, drink and brag."

"Drinking, they still drink in broad daylight?" Mom believed it, "Drinking in the store, the business is not done?"

We had to make it clear: "We're going out for a drink, it's late at night."
