Chapter 8 The Family Has Neighbors
After hearing what Master Wu said, Wang Siyu thought about what Zheng Dajun had done in secret, and felt that this person was indeed a bit superior. He nodded and bowed to his superiors and kept greeting him with a smile. From his expression, he could tell that the situation was very good. But when he turned around, he became another face when treating the staff below. No matter how he looked, he felt that the problem was very serious.
Every time the clerks in the commission mentioned him, they all felt so angry that they bit their teeth. But now there are too many such villains, and they are often caught in government agencies and units. Just like a popular saying in the past few years, in the officialdom, people are like monkeys hanging on a tree, looking from top to bottom, all smiling; looking from bottom to top, they are all butts.
While thinking, I suddenly slapped my head. It turned out that I was too hasty when I came back and forgot the drawing board in the hotel. I felt a little regretful. Fortunately, Chen Xueying's portrait had been put in his bag, otherwise the loss would have been greater. In Wang Siyu's eyes, the value of the portrait was far greater than that of the drawing board.
When he saw the watch, it was already half past five. He didn't want to go shopping for groceries and cook again, so he stood at the entrance of the community with his bag in his arms, took out his cell phone and called, "Hey! Brother Zhao, I'm back, is your meal open? If it doesn't open, I'll go to your place for a meal."
The brother Zhao that Wang Siyu mentioned was actually his neighbor Zhao Fan. Zhao Fan was three years older than Wang Siyu. Both families lived opposite the door, both on the fifth floor. Zhao Fan's family was an old local household, and their parents were workers of the hemp mill. After the hemp mill went bankrupt, the old couple set up stalls in the market to do some small business and worked hard to save money to marry Zhao Fan.
Zhao Fan is eloquent. After graduating from college, he was assigned to Qingzhou Daily as a reporter. Less than a month after he started working, he met his current wife Zhang Qianying while drinking tea in the tea art hall. Zhang Qianying graduated from the dance academy and is extremely beautiful, especially her tall figure of 1.75 meters and slender, making her the most beautiful scenery wherever she goes, with a return rate of more than 90%.
After organizing his son's marriage, Zhao Fan's parents moved to their hometown in the countryside, booked a fish pond and planted some vegetable fields, and could still support themselves and spend their old age in peace.
Wang Siyu and Zhao Fan are not considered young children. He moved from another place when he was twelve years old, so in the past two years they moved, their relationship was very average. Although they could meet every day, the two teenagers were quite arrogant and neither of them would say hello to each other first.
The substantial improvement in the relationship between the two was in the second year of junior high school in Wang Siyu. That year, Zhao Fan happened to be in the second year of high school. While studying hard, he was still energetic. He actually used his spare time to grab a few classmates' horses. As a result, he was blocked by a group of high school students at the entrance of the community and beaten up. Wang Siyu happened to pass by, so he hurriedly picked up a wooden stick from the side of the road and rushed over, frightening all the guys away. Since then, the two have become good friends who can talk about everything.
It’s good to be together, but Zhao Fan must be a few years old at the age of Wang Siyu. He is also smart and not as real as Wang Siyu. When they play together, Wang Siyu always suffers a little loss.
For example, when Wang Siyu was in his first year of high school, the two of them gathered money to buy a luminous telescope during the holidays. At night, they lay on the balcony to peek at the young woman in the opposite building to take a bath. As a result, when they bought the telescope, Wang Siyu paid the most, but after they bought it, he often couldn't touch the edge. The telescope was always occupied by Zhao Fan alone.
Every time Wang Siyu talks to him, Zhao Fan always makes excuses him, indicating that he will use it for you tomorrow, but on the next day, he said with sarcasm: "You are too young and have poor self-control. You can easily make mistakes after seeing it. Brother Zhao is also thinking about you."
Wang Siyu was very angry at that time, thinking that when you were shopping, why didn’t you say that when you were shopping, but instead gestured with exaggerated hands: “That girl has such a round butt and her breasts are so big…”
What's even more annoying is that after the incident was exposed, Zhao Fan actually pushed all the charges on Wang Siyu alone, which made him beat him up by his mother. The matter has not been completely finished yet. The aunt's waist is now as thick as a bucket and her face is full of wrinkles. But every time she sees Wang Siyu, she still can't help but spat and curse "Perverb!"
Although he was depressed, Wang Siyu still didn't say anything. He silently admitted the matter. He just took the blame and never complained. After all, Zhao Fan said at that time, "If you admit it at most, you will be beaten and scolded. If Brother Zhao admits it, you might have to go to jail."
However, since Zhao Fan and Zhang Qianying got married, they have become more righteous in their behavior as if they had changed their own personalities. Especially after Wang Siyu's mother passed away, they took special care of him. Every time the couple cooked something delicious at home, they had to think about giving it out for Wang Siyu to bring it over. When Wang Siyu was too lazy to cook, he often ran to Zhao Fan's house for free.
Of course, Wang Siyu didn't eat others' food in vain. The benefits that the municipal party committee has given over the past year have been basically taken by him to the opposite door to give favors, and often buy some gifts for them and their couple. After all, Zhang Qianying is still thinking about living in the elevator stairs early. In addition to occasionally buying beautiful clothes, she is always reluctant to spend money. The couple is very careful in their lives, so they always seem a little tight. Under Zhang Qianying's protest, Zhao Fan had already quit cigarettes some time ago.
The three of them, plus Zhang Qianying's close friend Huang Yali, formed a small circle. They usually hang out together. After a long time, they were as good as a family. Last weekend, the four of them wanted to go fishing and sketching at Daqingshan Reservoir, but they didn't expect that Wang Siyu was pulled by Zheng Dajun and failed to go.
The sound on the other end of the phone was very noisy. Wang Siyu couldn't hear what Zhao Fan was saying. While holding up his phone and shouting loudly, he was almost hit by half an apple falling from the sky. When the half apple fell to pieces with a "slap" at his feet, Wang Siyu burst into a cold sweat, "If this thing hits the head, it will at least be a big bag."
Looking up, I saw a pretty face poking out from the window of the restaurant on the nearby third floor. I looked around for a few times and found that Wang Siyu stretched out half of his white arm and waved to him with a smile. The man was Zhao Fan's wife, Zhang Qianying.
Zhang Qianying is usually extremely majestic and charming, and looks like a lady, but sometimes she can play crazy, like a little girl. Occasionally, Wang Siyu and Zhao Fan chat with some dirty jokes, but she dares to interject a few words and tease her a few words, and is not angry. If she feels embarrassed, she will run away with a smile, and at most she will ignore others in anger. She has never blushed. She is very concerned about Wang Siyu's life and often helps him wash clothes. The two have a harmonious relationship.
Wang Siyu knew that the half of the apple just now must have been her. She didn't have that big hand force, and it must have been done by that boy Zhao Fan, so he stood there and tiptoed behind Zhang Qianying. Sure enough, not long after, Zhao Fan stuck his head out from behind Zhang Qianying with a smirk, holding the remaining half of the apple in his mouth, and reached out to knock him with a finger. Wang Siyu pretended to be furious, shouted "Look for a fight", and rushed to the building quickly.
He originally thought of eating at this restaurant. Although the restaurant is not big, it is very clean inside. The boss's wife is very diligent and wipes the table so that it can emit light. Unlike other houses, the table is greasy and the bowls and chopsticks are not clean. Even if the guests are hungry, they will probably lose their appetite.
Moreover, his chefs also have a good cooking schedule. Many residents in the community like to eat here. Wang Siyu likes to eat the sweet and sour carp here the most. It is burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, sweet and sour. As soon as he thought of the sweet and sour carp, his stomach was a little unsatisfied and started to whistle around "gurgle".
I ran up the third floor along the curved outer stairs and pushed open the glass door of the restaurant. I found that there were many guests inside. The waiter hurriedly ran around with plates, busy, and more than a dozen tables were already full.
Wang Siyu walked straight to the table near the window and saw Zhang Qianying and Huang Yali sitting there with their lips pursed and smiling, but no Zhao Fan's figure was seen. He was puzzled and didn't want to be hugged from behind. He turned his head and Zhao Fan was spraying with alcohol in his mouth, laughing at him, with a bit of drunkenness in his expression.
Wang Siyu hurriedly pushed him away, walked to the dining table, sat on the chair beside him, threw the bag on the table, turned his head and shouted to the waiter, "Come on the bowl of braised noodles!"
"How is it? I'm right. When I have to pay the bill, this kid will definitely come back. He will be the life to pay the bill." Zhao Fan sat back on the chair and gently picked his teeth with a toothpick. Huang Yali smiled slightly, but didn't say anything. Her left hand was against her jaw, staring at the cactus in the flower pot by the window, quietly dazed.
Zhang Qianying took Wang Siyu's bag over, opened it with a smile, and reached out to churn inside, "Xiaoyu, what good things are you bringing to your sister-in-law?"
Wang Siyu was so hungry that he was so nervous that he picked up a steamed bun from the plate, took a bite, took another sip of the soup, swallowed it before putting down the bowl, wiped his mouth and said, "Sister-in-law, I'm sorry, I forgot to buy it this time."
Zhang Qianying looked through for a long time but couldn't find a gift. She was a little disappointed and waved her slender fingers, pouted and complained: "No, I didn't bring any gifts when I came back from the provincial capital. Xiaoyu, you are really too much."
Wang Siyu sat there and laughed a few times, took out a white jade pendant from his pocket, and placed it gently on the table.
Seeing this, Zhang Qianying cheered and hurriedly reached out and snatched it. She took the pendant and hung it around her neck. When she opened the small mirror, she couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a beautiful pendant, I knew that Xiaoyu wouldn't be so conscience-defeating."
Then he turned his head and said to Zhao Fan happily: "Husband, am I beautiful with a pendant?"
Zhao Fan hurriedly said that he was beautiful. My wife was beautiful in everything she brought. Then she sighed to Wang Siyu: "Every time I only buy gifts for your sister-in-law, and I never have my share. You guy really value sex over friends."
"If you want to be able to help me wash my smelly socks for a year, I will buy you gifts every day!" Wang Siyu stood up after saying that, took the braised noodles handed over by the waiter, ignored the three of them, and just sat down and swallowed them voraciously.
