Originally they said they didn't drink, but at noon, the five of them went back to the car dealership on Tangzi Street. Brother Lei called a nearby restaurant to deliver some dishes, and then went to the supermarket across the road to pick up a few bottles of liquor.
return.
It was already three o'clock in the afternoon when we finally had a drink.
Finally, the wine table became quiet, Luo Qing was obviously drunk, and the two brothers Zhu Dazhi and Zhang Linsheng died together after fighting for three rounds.
Brother Lei was drinking in a controlled manner and did not let himself drink too much. Seeing that the three young people beside him were quiet, Brother Lei moved his buttocks and sat next to Chen Nuo.
"When are you leaving? What Britain did you say you were going to?"
"In a few days." Chen Nuo looked at Brother Lei and said with a smile, "Don't be nervous. There is really nothing dangerous going on this time. I'll go find someone."
Brother Lei's heart moved, and he gestured with his long hair: "The one I saw before, the one who is the most beautiful? The one you call your wife?"
"right."
Brother Lei nodded.
Well, such a beautiful wife must be coaxed back.
But... if we coax that person back, how will we deal with Sun Keke from Jinling City?
However, this is something Chen Nuo has to consider.
"What do you need me to do for you? Buy a plane ticket? Or get a passport?" Brother Lei frowned and said, "I'll look for someone later...if you want a passport..."
"No, you don't need to do any of this." Chen Nuo smiled: "It's just family matters, you can take care of them."
Brother Lei nodded: "This is definitely no problem. As long as nothing happens to you, your mother and sister will be safe at home."
"Well, not only is it taking care of me, there is something I really want you to check out in detail."
Chen Nuo said and whispered: "My mother, there is a man in the property management company where she works, and it seems that he has a crush on my mother."
When Brother Lei heard this, his eyes suddenly widened: "Fuck! Who is it? Are you so brave? Do you want to be your father?"
Chen Nuo: "(⊙_⊙)?"
No, if you didn’t say so, I would have forgotten to think so...
Chen Nuo felt a little weird.
Brother Lei's eyes widened, his face full of anger and a bit fierce, he slapped the table: "Fuck! Fuck! How brave is this person, dares to provoke your mother? Isn't he just trying to take advantage of you?
You are cheap, me!
No, no, this kind of thing is not allowed, you tell me... He's from that property company, right! I'll take a few people with me tomorrow to block him! I'll give him a discount on his legs!!"
Chen Nuo glared at Brother Lei's indignant look. He was silent for a while and then whispered: "...Do you want my mother to remain a widow for the rest of her life? She is only in her early forties, isn't she a bit cruel?"
"Huh?" Brother Lei was stunned.
What do you mean? Co-author, isn’t this young man unhappy because someone wants to pick up his own mother?
Looking at this meaning...why do you seem to be a little happy to see it come to fruition?
"She is only forty years old. In half her life, she has fallen into two traps and married two heartless men. She has never met a good man. She was even harmed by a man and went to jail once.
It is too pitiful for a woman to live like this.
We can't let her live a senior life in advance now, right?
Even an old lady still has sunset red."
Brother Lei was a little confused: "...what do you mean?"
"I have no objection." Chen Nuo shook his head, picked up a peanut with chopsticks, threw it into his mouth, chewed it, and then slowly said: "She has been suffering for half her life, and she deserves to live a good life in the second half of her life.
.
I met that man once when I came back, and he seemed to be a nice person, and he seemed to be quite honest in his words and deeds.
But knowing people, faces, but not hearts, we need to know more about the specific situation."
Brother Lei blinked his eyelids and now he understood a little bit.
"That man's name is Hou Changwei. He is a delivery driver for the logistics company. He should be an ordinary person. Please help me find out more about the specific situation and find out his background.
If there is nothing wrong with the person, I don't care how he and my mother talk about and interact with each other. As long as Ou Xiuhua is willing to do things that you and I are willing to do, I will also be happy to see her find a good destination for the rest of her life.
But there is one thing. If it is found out, there is something wrong with this person..."
At this point, Chen Nuo slowly shook his head and said resolutely: "That won't work! She has stepped into a trap twice in half her life, and I can't let her step into a trap a third time under my nose!"
Looking at Chen Nuo's solemn eyes, Brother Lei immediately nodded: "Okay! Don't worry, I will definitely check this person out for you."
It would be inappropriate to ask anyone else for this kind of thing, and it would be inconvenient for Chen Nuo to do it on his own. Brother Lei is the most suitable candidate.
"In the future, when the two of us are together, Xiao Yezi will call him daddy... From now on... you won't feel any awkwardness at all?" Brother Lei couldn't help but ask.
Actually, I don't quite understand it.
According to Chinese tradition, children are not happy to see their parents with others.
It would be awkward to let someone else be the father.
Brother Lei didn't believe it. For someone as capable as Mr. Nuo, how could he be happy if he wanted a strange middle-aged man to marry his own mother and become his stepfather?
Seeing Brother Lei looking confused, Chen Nuo was happy.
He suddenly patted Brother Lei on the shoulder, leaned over and whispered: "Brother Lei, you don't understand what's going on here.
And...are you afraid that I will be awkward?
Didn't you also pretend to be my father at that time?"
Damn it!
When the last sentence came out, Brother Lei suddenly broke out in a white sweat. He was half awake from the wine. He sat up straight with a sudden thought, widened his eyes and said quickly: "You, you know everything?"
"Yes, we all know."
"No! I was completely forced at that time! Your wife forced me...me, me too..."
Chen Nuo smiled: "Okay, you were trying to save me, and you didn't mean to take advantage of me. I have to thank you for this."
After finishing speaking, Chen Nuo waved his hand: "It's over, I won't mention it anymore."
Brother Lei wiped his sweat beads, then looked at Chen Nuo, he really didn't care, and then he relaxed.
At this time, Zhang Linsheng and Zhu Dazhi had finished their wine fight, and both guys came over with straight eyes.
After not seeing each other for a year, Zhang Linsheng actually seems to have changed a lot.
Probably because I often practiced martial arts with Zhu Dazhi, I was led astray by this stupid guy with a bad mouth, and now I am used to talking like "I am my father".
However, the relationship between the senior brothers is very good.
"By the way, Chen Nuo, master's side..." Zhang Linsheng shook his head vigorously: "You have to go there too."
Chen Nuo nodded.
Lao Jiang was very kind to me, and also to Xiao Zizi. After I came back, I would definitely pay him a visit.
"Master and Master have always cared about you, and have taken good care of your family. They have also visited Xiao Zizi several times." Zhang Linsheng said slowly: "Master and Master will be very happy to know that you are back safely."
"How are Lao Jiang and Mrs. Song doing lately?"
"Well... Master's wife's illness seems to be a bit recurring, and the master doesn't teach us boxing much anymore. He said that Dazhi and I have already left the training and can practice on our own.
We used to go to the grove every now and then to practice boxing with the master, but now we can't go there more than two or three times a month.
Zhu Dazhi and I found a gym, rented a boxing venue, and went to practice two or three times a week."
After hearing this, Chen Nuo frowned secretly in his heart. Old Jiang wouldn't be so busy, right? Or is there something wrong with Song Qiaoyun's illness again?
He calmed down and kept this matter in mind. He would definitely go to Chiang Kai-shek's house later.
Zhu Dazhi poked Brother Lei hard from the side.
"Tell Chen Nuo, what are you embarrassed about..."
Chen Nuo heard this, turned around and said with a smile: "What do you want to tell me?"
Zhu Dazhi laughed and was about to speak when he was slapped on the forehead by Brother Lei. Brother Lei coughed and then said with a smile: "Well, actually it's not a big deal, it's just..."
"My brother-in-law is getting married to my sister!" Zhu Dazhi screamed, and then received another slap from Brother Lei.
Chen Nuo was happy.
"That's a good thing! What's so embarrassing about saying this? When will it be done?"
"At the end of the year, let's put it on the first day of New Year's Day. Xiaojuan said that the wedding is at the end of the year, and the first day of the wedding happens to be the first day of the New Year. It's a good omen for the new weather."
Chen Nuo smiled with emotion: "Good thing! Brother Lei, congratulations first."
Zhang Linsheng also smiled and said: "Brother Lei has been hiding his embarrassment to talk about it. What's wrong with marrying a wife?"
Brother Lei thought about it for a moment and said with a smile: "On my wedding day..."
"I'm definitely going." Chen Nuo smiled.
"No, what I mean is that on the wedding day... there will be a person to officiate and witness the marriage. The person to be the person to be the wedding will be the elders of Xiaojuan's family. In my family, my mother and I are no longer here. As for the witnesses, I would like to invite them.
Mr. Nuo, come on stage...you are also the boss of our company after all."
Chen Nuo immediately shook his head: "That's inappropriate."
Are you kidding me, a young man under twenty years old, being a witness to an old man like Brother Lei?
It looks ridiculous.
"We will all be your best men that day. Forget about being the witnesses, you can find an older person to be your groomsmen." Chen Nuo smiled and said, "We have agreed to let Xiaojuan invite all her beautiful sisters to be our groomsmen."
Bridesmaids, Luo Qing and Zhu Dazhi are still single."
"Okay, okay!" Luo Qing, who was next to him, seemed to have sobered up a little, clapped his hands and said with a smile: "My dad just bought a new model of Daben last month, and I will drive it for you when the time comes!"
"Okay, the first car is here, what about the following convoy? Have you ordered a car from the wedding company?" Zhang Linsheng asked.
Before Brother Lei could speak, Zhu Dazhi glanced at him and said, "What kind of fleet are you looking for outside? We have so many cars..."
All four people turned to look at Zhu Dazhi.
Zhu Dazhi scratched his head triumphantly and said with a smile: "Don't think I don't understand! I have thought about it carefully!
Thirty-six Tiangang, seventy-two Earthly Demons, and the total of Heaven and Earth is one hundred and eight!
Let me tell you, there are so many electric bicycles in the warehouse of our car dealership!
When the time comes, we will get 108 electric bicycles to follow!
That scene, damn, it’s awesome just thinking about it! I’ll bet you! I’ve never seen anything like this in the entire city of Nanjing!”
Four people: "………………"
Chen Nuo imagined the scene in his mind: On the wedding day, the leading car was a luxury Mercedes-Benz with a float and a red double happiness sign...
Followed by one hundred and eight electric bicycles, mammoth and swaggering through the city...
I've never seen this before!
Because no one is so crazy!!!
Brother Lei angrily slapped Zhu Dazhi under the table: "Get out! This kind of scene should be reserved for you to use when you get married in the future!"
Zhu Dazhi was not convinced, he straightened his neck and said: "Okay! It's settled! In the future, when I get a wife, you can get me 108 electric bicycles to follow me! Let me tell you, that scene will definitely be awesome!"
!”
Chen Nuo sighed, went over and pulled Dazhi up, helped him sit up, patted his shoulder, and said warmly: "Dazhi..."
"ha?"
"Well, um... when you get a girlfriend from now on, don't mention this idea to other girls before you get married."
"Of course you can't tell her first, I want to give her a surprise!"
"...Well, just don't say it."
Harmful!
What kind of bicycle do you want...
·
After the banquet was over, everyone went back to their homes.
Chen Nuo strolled home. First he went to the time-honored Shuiximen Duck Store and bought an authentic Jinling roast duck. He asked the store to cut it in half and then chop it into pieces.
Two packs of laolu were wrapped in plastic bags, with one bag on one side.
Then I took it and went to Jinling Normal University first. I met Sun Keke secretly and stuffed half a roast duck into her dormitory window.
Then, after looking at the time, I hailed a taxi and went to No. 8 Middle School.
In the staff dormitory of No. 8 Middle School, Chen Nuo arrived at the door of the veteran's house and knocked on the door.
No one answered.
Chen Nuo frowned, and with a little mental effort, he confirmed that no one was at home.
Chen Nuo thought for a while, then went downstairs with the roast duck, walked to the road, took out his mobile phone as he walked, and called Lao Jiang.
I just pressed Dial, and soon I heard a prompt tone, indicating that the other party had turned off.
Chen Nuo frowned and put down his phone.
After thinking about it for a while, I called Sun Keke again and asked Sun Keke to help ask about Chiang Kai-shek's recent situation.
Neither Luo Qing nor Zhang Linsheng knew about this matter because they had graduated and were not in school.
Moreover, Zhang Linsheng said that Lao Jiang no longer even teaches them how to practice boxing, and he has not seen the master for several days.
Soon, Sun Keke called back.
School belle Sun asked about the news that Lao Sun had learned. She said that Lao Jiang had taken a long leave this semester and that his wife was sick and had taken her to a hospital outside of town for medical treatment.
It has been more than two weeks since I completed the procedures before school started.
This is strange.
From this point of view, Chiang Kai-shek must have been in a hurry to leave... Moreover, he left without even informing his disciples Zhu Dazhi and Zhang Linsheng.
Unreasonable.
Chen Nuo thought for a while, then went upstairs again, opened the door of Lao Jiang's house, and went into the house to look around.
It looked like no one had lived in the house for several days.
Things were packed neatly, but obviously there were a lot less clothes in the closet. They must have been packed away and taken away.
What puzzled Chen Nuo the most...
The bird raised by Chiang Kai-shek hanging on the balcony... is gone too.
It makes no sense to take your wife out for medical treatment and carry a bird cage, right?
Maybe I entrusted it to a friend to take care of me first?
You can also leave it to your apprentice. Zhu Dazhi is unreliable, but Zhang Linsheng is still very reliable. You can give the bird to Zhang Linsheng to feed for a while.
Chen Nuo thought about it and left Lao Jiang's house.
When I came out, I almost met Yang Xiaoyi who was coming back from get off work downstairs.
Chen Nuo immediately ducked behind the telephone pole, hiding from Yang Xiaoyi, and waited until the other party went upstairs before coming out.
Chen Nuo and Sun Keke agreed not to talk to Lao Sun and his wife about his return...
Because I can't think of a reasonable excuse that can be said.
We can only put it off like this for the time being, and then we can act on a case-by-case basis depending on the situation.
·
After leaving No. 8 Middle School, Chen Nuo returned home.
Xiao Zizi had already come back from school, and Ou Xiuhua was making dinner. Seeing that Chen Nuo was back, she felt at ease.
"Have you been drinking?" Ou Xiuhua smelled the smell of alcohol on Chen Nuo.
"Well, I drank a little." Chen Nuo smiled and said, "Don't worry, didn't I tell you that I would go see Brother Lei and the others today?"
Ou Xiuhua nodded: "Well, this year when you were away from home, Brother Lei, Lin Sheng, and your classmate Luo Qing took good care of us. When you come back, go meet them and thank them."
.
It should be!"
"Don't worry, I didn't drink too much, I just have some alcohol smell on my clothes."
Chen Nuo smiled and put the roast duck on the dining table, then went to the back room and looked at Xiao Zizi who was doing homework with a sad face, then turned and returned to the room.
Little Ye Zi naturally wanted to play with Chen Nuo for a while, but after entering elementary school, homework became the child's biggest worry.
Ou Xiuhua is very strict with her daughter. She is not allowed to play until she has finished her homework.
Moreover, after dinner today, Ou Xiuhua has to go to work for a night shift.
Chen Nuo returned to the room, closed the door, took out his laptop first, and then pulled out a small USB flash drive of the Octopus Monster website.
After logging in to the website, search for "Why speak in a floating life" (Lao Jiang's ID on the Octopus Monster website).
After thinking about it, Chen Nuo sent a private message to the other party.
"Someone recommended you to me and said that you are very good at what you do. There is a commission, which will be a bit dangerous, but the price is very high. If you are interested, please contact me."
After finishing writing, click send.
After sending it, Chen Nuo waited for a few minutes and received no reply, so he left the bedroom and went to the living room to have dinner.
While Ou Xiuhua was supervising Xiao Zizi to eat quickly, she told Chen Nuo something: "I won't be back until about ten o'clock in the evening. After you have eaten, watch Xiao Zizi finish her homework. There are some things she doesn't know how to do, so you can
Counsel her.
After finishing writing, she was allowed to watch cartoons for half an hour at most, and then she was asked to go to bed quickly.
There’s no need to wash the dishes and chopsticks, just leave them and I’ll clean them up when I come back in the evening.”
Chen Nuo thought for a while: "It's not safe to come back after ten o'clock in the evening shift. I'll pick you up."
"No need." Ou Xiuhua shook her head and said with a smile: "The whole journey back and forth is on the main road, and the street lights are bright. I don't want to take any small roads or alleys. I can just ride my bike."
Chen Nuo thought for a while: "In the future, try to schedule as few late shifts as possible."
"No, I have to take Xiao Zizi to school in the morning. After sending the child to work, it's too late to start the morning shift, so I try to change with others for the evening shift."
"I'll take care of Xiao Zizi in the morning from now on."
"Let's talk about it later. We can discuss it later." Ou Xiuhua seemed to be really in a hurry. She finished the rice in her bowl and got up to change clothes and go to work.
Chen Nuo was at home, having dinner with Xiao Zizi, and then his sister did her homework. Chen Nuo cleared the table, washed the dishes, and put the remaining food in the refrigerator.
I went out to write homework with Xiao Zizi for a while.
Watching TV, Chen Nuo finally relented. Ou Xiuhua told him that he was only allowed to watch for half an hour, but Chen Nuo let Xiao Zi watch it for an hour before turning off the TV.
Fortunately, little Ye Zi was sensible and didn't make any fuss. He washed his face and brushed his teeth by himself, and then went to bed.
Chen Nuo sat beside the bed and stayed with her for a while. Seeing that Ye Zi's eyelids were closed and heavy, he walked out of the room quietly, leaving the door ajar.
Back in his room, Chen Nuo took another look at the Octopus Monster's website.
"Why speak in a floating life?" There is no reply yet.
I called Lao Jiang again, but the phone was still off.
Chen Nuo glanced at the time, thought for a moment, and left a trace of his spiritual tentacles at home, outside Xiao Zizi's bedroom.
Then, Chen Nuo went out.
Outside Ou Xiuhua's property management company, Chen Nuo saw Ou Xiuhua walking out pushing a bicycle, and soon, Hou Changwei also came out.
Today, Hou Changwei did not drive the van, but also pushed a bicycle, and then said a few words to Ou Xiuhua.
Ou Xiuhua was obviously a little embarrassed, but Hou Changwei persisted and followed Ou Xiuhua back on his bicycle.
The two of them rode in tandem to the gate of Chen's community. After Ou Xiuhua and Hou Changwei said a few words, they urged Hou Changwei to go home quickly.
After seeing off Hou Changwei, Ou Xiuhua obviously looked a little helpless. She turned around and pushed her bicycle towards the community. When she looked up, she saw Chen Nuo standing at the door of the community and smiling at her.
Ou Xiuhua suddenly looked a little embarrassed.
"Why...why are you here?"
"I'm coming down to buy something." Chen Nuo smiled and casually shook a can of Coke he just bought from the supermarket nearby.
Ou Xiuhua cleared her throat and whispered: "Well...he said it was too late, so he sent me back on the way."
Chen Nuo smiled: "Well, it's pretty good."
"ah?"
"I was driving too fast. I stepped on the accelerator and reached home in a few minutes." Chen Nuole said, "It's good to ride a bike. It's slow and leisurely. It's not cold today and the wind is still warm. I can talk more along the way."
Words."
Ou Xiuhua suddenly blushed, shook her head and said, "That's nonsense."
He lowered his head and pushed the cart into the community.
After returning home, Ou Xiuhua didn't want to say anything to Chen Nuo. She was probably embarrassed. After washing, she quickly went back to the room to rest.
Chen Nuo returned to his room and took another look at the Octopus Monster website on his computer...
Lao Jiang, still no reply.
