It is very cold, but Wei Tao and Cao Xiyu enjoy the fun of being able to arrange the New Year with their own hands and feel the flavor of the New Year. They strictly follow the customs and habits that still remain in their childhood. After the Little New Year, they do it every day. There are rules for everything.
Sometimes there will be some changes in time, but they will do these behaviors. They are never short of food and drink, and they also dress warmly and go to large supermarkets and farmers' markets to buy New Year's goods. Whether to eat or not is a matter of course. It's one thing whether you need it or not, but it's another thing to go to the venue and feel the atmosphere.
Candy, there are various imported and domestic high-end candies at home, no less than dozens of flavors, with a large pack as the smallest unit of measurement.
Chicken, duck, fish, the cold storage on the fifth floor of No. 1 Anshun Street, the row of freezer refrigerators and open-air refrigerators on Anshun Street, including the platform on the sixth floor of No. 1 Anshun Street, all kinds of meat need to be specially labeled, so as not to As for not being able to find it later.
Today, when the Spring Festival couplets were posted, He Shengli stood at the side door and showed the two of them whether the Spring Festival couplets were posted correctly and whether the heights on both sides were the same.
Han Tiesheng checked the vehicle in the garage with the rolling shutter door raised.
Lu Jiang was walking out in the corridor.
Everyone’s face is filled with happy New Year smiles, and they are happy after the New Year. Everyone is in a beautiful state of life. He Shengli feels the warmth of home here, and he is very concerned about staying here. , without any extra thoughts.
The van approached the rear side door and parked on the side of the road for about half a minute. The door opened and several figures got out of the car. A man got out of the co-pilot and took out a "fake five---four" from his arms. Four people got out from behind. They are all big cards. When they are broken open, they glow with the cold light of sharp edges.
Very fast, very professional, with clear division of labor, and the target is Wei Tao.
Cao Xiyu was stunned for a moment, and Wei Tao was stunned not because he was frightened by the sudden situation, but because he looked at the other person and felt that they were very miserable and unlucky. At this moment, the few people around him were less than five meters away from him.
While Lao He was still at the door, Han Tiesheng rushed from the garage to the open space between the back door and the side door of the building, which must have taken him faster than the few people who rushed in from outside to approach him.
He Shengli shook his hand, and the wrist of the guy holding the smoking gun was penetrated by an iron nail several centimeters long, and the weapon in his hand fell to the ground.
Han Tiesheng was in place, and the four men with cold weapons were knocked down in the blink of an eye.
Lu Jiang rushed out and took a glance.
With experience and training from Lao He, he could understand the scene environment at a glance and make the most correct judgment. He did not forget to glance at the building opposite, where Li Fengshou lived all year round. There was always a camera pointed at the side back door. Master Lao He and Han Tiesheng were present at the scene, and they knocked down all five of them without any effort.
When Lu Jiang rushed out of the side door, he directly grabbed the shovel by the wall in his hand, and the speed of rushing out did not slow down.
At this time, the driver of the van that had not stalled saw this situation, put it into gear, and pushed forward.
It just so happened that Wei Tao and Cao Xiyu posted couplets at the back door. If the other party was squatting normally, he would definitely turn the front of the car and aim at the exit of Anshun Street.
It is necessary to check the spot. The inside of Anshun Street is connected to the side and rear of another community. In the past two years, a small gate has been opened in the iron fence. It can pass people, motorcycles and bicycles, but not cars. People who are serious about doing things must have Complete the "job at hand" as quickly as possible.
After the people got out, the car stopped moving for a while. At this time, the clutch was released and the gear was shifted to the accelerator. The van jumped forward, instead of accelerating directly, it paused.
Lu Jiang arrived with a shovel. Following the inertia of running, he swung his arms and the shovel hit the front windshield of the van with a loud bang.
He carried the force of the backlash forcefully. What he wanted was to block the opponent's car. Now that they were here, no one could leave.
Lu Jiang's toughness lies in the fact that he has no hesitation about injuring the enemy by one thousand and damaging himself by eight hundred. In order to achieve the most effective effect, he will not care whether he is injured or not. He blocks the front of the van from the wind with a shovel. The glass had spider web-like cracks.
The van rushed out and had no chance to turn around. It subconsciously drove towards Anshun Street, looking for a more spacious place to turn around and leave.
.
Lu Jiang quickly ran back to the courtyard. Driving out of the garage was not in line with the current plan for a quick victory. At the back door were Lao He and Han Tiesheng, as well as the five people who had been knocked down.
Lu Jiang rushed to the yard without even looking at it. His own Jetta was parked in the yard. The key was on the front right wheel. He didn't usually drive it. Sometimes when he went home at night, he wouldn't drive the boss's car. Car, drive your own car.
With a bang, the car started. It was Chinese New Year, and the security guard was also doing the final snow clearing work in the yard. The electric gate opened and the inside and outside and the track were swept clean.
After driving out, Lu Jiang kept looking to the right, staring at Anshun Street through the gap in the yard fence of No. 1 Anshun Street. He rushed to the main street faster than the van.
He turned right, stepped on the accelerator, and faced the van that turned right from Anshun Street and also wanted to turn right into the main street to escape. When the van was turning, he hit the van from the rear and side, directly knocking the other van's car into pieces. There was a close contact with the curb. The car did not roll over violently. The entire side and rear were flattened. The wheels came into contact with the curb. It was a bit like a person tripped. The car shuddered and rolled sideways on the road.
………………
For five minutes, there was silence.
Twenty minutes later, the scene was cleaned up.
It’s the Chinese New Year, and almost all the shops on the street are closed, and there are not many people on the street. There are not many people seen, and the processing here is quick.
Yao Xuejun came over quickly with his people, stuffed the people into several vans and took them away. Li Fengshou didn't show up, and Wei Tao received his message: "If you need me, put the people in a separate place."
In fact, the news came back quickly, and Yao Xuejun dragged him to an abandoned factory in the factory and mining area, where he rented and trained with his brothers.
[In view of the general environment,
It was remote and quiet, with no one around, and a large cellar. After Yao Xuejun rented it, he found someone to redecorate the cellar.
People were crammed inside, and on the way back, I called a barefoot doctor. It was similar to the professional quack doctors in Xiangjiang. Some of them had good connections, could treat surgical wounds, and were willing to make a little extra money. After a long time, it was just a matter of time. A simple contract model was formed.
It’s not my brother. I don’t care whether your hand will become useless. Get some medicine to save face. I don’t know what it is. Just sprinkle it to stop the bleeding. Just pull out the iron nail to stop the bleeding. Just bandage it. Don’t die. Don’t bleed. I don't care about the rest of the infection or the like.
Before Lu Jiang could use his barbed whip a few times, everyone in the group spoke.
The person came from the south, and there was no middleman to make it mysterious. The one with the weapon was directly facing Qu Xin, the emperor of the royal family. The other party found him through a friend in the world, and his purpose was just that. Let them come over, take Wei Tao away, and teach him a lesson.
As for bringing weapons, it was just in case. Knowing that he was also the boss of a large company, he was always surrounded by bodyguards. In order to avoid making a big fuss, the weapons could serve as a deterrent.
That's all, teach you a lesson, vent your anger, it's not even a kidnapping, take it to a place outside the city, find a place to beat you up, scare you, take a photo, etc., I can also tease you in the future and warn you on the Internet Don’t be too crazy, it’s true that you have money, and it’s no big deal to tell you that you have money.
When Wei Tao received the call, he swore a curse word. People who celebrate the Chinese New Year definitely don't bite people and respond to others. What the hell.
"Call and ask the other party to redeem the person with money. Six people, two million each. You are stupid!"
I was in a good mood during the Chinese New Year, but it was ruined by this bastard.
At No. 1 Anshun Street, relatives of the family came one after another, and the company's security guard went to pick up grandma. Although there was only one or two hundred meters of road, he still didn't want grandma Wei Tao to walk, so he drove over directly.
The younger generation is not only running around with nieces and nephews, but also going to college. In a few years, Wei Tao will be promoted to another generation.
There is such an opportunity, no one in the family is absent, there is no such thing as just a man bringing his family’s children, like cousins
They all bring their families here. There may only be a few days in a year where they can have the opportunity to talk to Wei Tao in peace and have some food and drinks together under the same roof. The custom of every family celebrating the New Year at the husband's house was completely broken here, and no one in the husband's family had any objections.
Women are worse, but Xiaofu is much more comfortable. The young men in the family have a good reputation outside, and they all know why they are here. They usually have no chance to come into contact with Wei Tao, who is too busy. Sometimes, if something comes to your door, you may not need to go through him. The people below will handle it after considering it. Even if you see him, it may only be a few words, such as sitting on the same table to have a drink and chat during the New Year. There are almost no opportunities, so how can we not cherish them?
The family is lively and lively, and it has been like this for several years, and a fixed pattern of getting along has been formed.
There is one more topic this year, that is, Wei Tao is getting married. Everyone in the family sits down and talks about this matter. They know that there are people who can be used, but as members of the family, they are all eager to move forward. , if you don’t show it at this time, when will it be better?
Everyone is talking about all kinds of details, all kinds of things that need to be prepared in advance by the in-laws' side, and everyone is making suggestions.
Wei Tao felt full of bad luck, so he walked down from the seventh floor and gave Cao Xiyu a reassuring look. After a while, Yan Bo called.
This person's brain, when he was asked to make suggestions on similar matters, the effect was better than anyone else's. However, after hearing the reason for this matter, Yan Bo also spat, "What a bastard, is this grandson's brain right?" You're sick, do you still take such childish behavior seriously? If you want to send, the minimum standard is just like Wei Tao did, send Huang Li to the south alone, look for the right opportunity, step on more points, and hit the target with one hit.
Do you think that if five or six people come to Songjiang to do business, they have something at hand and weapons as insurance? Or become a billionaire?
"Chen Chun Silly Que, what do you think?" Yan Bo is sitting on the single sofa in He Shengli's room, still in a classic shape. If you see him without a cigarette in his mouth, you should feel it. strangeness.
He Shengli and Han Tiesheng went to deal with the weapon, dismantled it, and then found a remote place to dispose of it. They didn't need this thing, and they couldn't allow it to be left in front of them among the people.
Jinfeng Security Company was working overtime during the Chinese New Year to design the security plan for the entire Anshun Street No. 1 and even Anshun Street Xianshi. Simply putting two or three people here seemed not enough.
Facing Yan Bo's question, Wei Tao opened the window and let the cold wind pour in. He just waved outside, believing that Li Fengshou in the building opposite would be able to see it.
"Let him go, there is always a way to do it unnoticed. I play with you on the Internet, and you play with reality with me, so let's touch reality. I didn't bother to pay attention to him about the previous things. I thought we would talk about it after the New Year, but I didn't Thinking that he acted first, Ma De, let Li Feng harvest and make him a father-in-law."
Yan Bo smiled and had no objection. Things that could be solved with money were nothing in the end. Li Fengshou would never leave any trouble if he did this kind of thing. Having such a person can actually do many things better than having a group of people around you.
An hour later, Li Fengshou went out, carrying a backpack and a thick down jacket. He was not businesslike at all. On New Year's Eve, he took a taxi to the airport, paid the taxi driver double the price, and calmly ate bubbles in the deserted airport. On the same day, he boarded the plane calmly and headed to a big city five hundred kilometers away from the city where Dizi was located.
"The banks are closed now? No rush. When will the money arrive and when will the people go back?"
Too lazy to talk nonsense, I just hung up the phone.
On Yao Xuejun's side, people threw bread, instant noodles, mineral water, and the most humane thing, a roll of toilet paper, into a homemade cage in the cellar. There was no flushing station or toilet, only a wooden bucket in the corner.
The instant noodles will be hot when you make them. Stop fussing and chew them dry. The more you chew, the more delicious they will be.
The six people crammed in, locked the door, and left surveillance cameras all the way. No matter what, the food and water were enough for three days. They also kept several common medicines, mainly anti-inflammatory.
………………
The New Year's Eve dinner starts at 1:30 p.m. This year there are three tables, for drinkers, diners and children.
.
Seafood feast, beef and mutton dishes, white wine, red wine and beer, everyone has become familiar with this pattern over the past few years. They will neither drink less nor drink too much, chatting mainly, and even let Wei Tao do the talking and act as the main speaker of what everyone wants. The leader of the family is now on many levels with everyone. Everything he says may be used as talking points for bragging when they go out to drink.
Guan Jinyue also came back, but after eating, she returned to her room and didn't come out again. No one noticed. In fact, she left quietly after a while. This was not her home.
At night, Wei Tao accompanied Cao Xiyu to her grandfather's house, where a large family was celebrating the New Year lively. Because of the close proximity and the good relationship between the two parties, everyone was too lazy to abide by many so-called rules. When we meet, don't say we are not married. Even if we are really married, there is no need to stay with Cao Xiyu during the Chinese New Year.
Wei Tao drank a glass of wine at the table, stood up and left. No one in the Cao family stayed with him. The rest of the family over there went back to drink, chat and play cards. It was the Chinese New Year. It was time to relax and have fun. What were they doing if they weren't playing?
Bao Xiqian is in Yanjing. On days like this, she is very busy. The couple is designing their characters. Important festivals are an excellent opportunity to show the husband's singing and the wife's accompanying.
She and Wei Ning have not been in contact for a long time. She talked to her brother Wei Yong on the phone and got along well. The other party just sighed and said it was a pity. No more words were said. When young people are dating, no one is completely bound to the other. .
Wei Yong said that his sister had become friends. Wei Ning, the leader of a charity organization, came out of Wei Tao's welfare home. From being fond of playing and challenging the limits, to now he likes to do charity and charity, so Wei Tao stopped disturbing her. .
Not disturbing is sometimes also a kind of timidity, because once they disturb each other, they can no longer keep out of each other's lives.
Tang Cen is back. She doesn't have much time to spend with her parents every year. During the Lunar New Year, unless she has special important tasks, she will come back to spend the New Year with her parents.
In the past few years, she was brave and heroic, her career was in full swing, and she showed her parents the style of a new generation of female soldiers. But starting from last year, when she passed her twenty-fifth birthday, people in the north were used to saying that she was in vain. Now she will be twenty-seven after the new year. Now, she has begun to develop in the direction of an old girl. Today, her parents also found an opportunity to have a frank chat with her about the important matter of marriage that she had never mentioned to her.
"I'm not interested, parents, please leave it alone, otherwise I won't come back when I get to the army."
He still has a straightforward temper. If he has anything to say, he will never delay or mince words. He will say whatever is on his mind. Even though he knows that his directness may hurt some people's feelings, he still doesn't want to keep his mind clear. Fill in any haze.
He still went to his grandparents' house to celebrate the New Year, but when his aunt brought up this topic, Tang Cen didn't speak anymore. His facial expression was as calm as water. He finished the meal calmly, took a moment, helped wash the dishes, and then put on his headphones. It was polite to say hello, and I didn't intend to follow other people's advice. I put on my down jacket to isolate myself from the cold of winter, and took steps to blend into the ice and snow.
The functions of mobile phones are getting more and more powerful, but for Tang Cen, the role of mobile phones in her eyes is still at the level of satellite phones.
In the MP3, there are many sets of storytelling broadcasted by old storytelling artists. This thing has been her favorite since she was a child. When she was in junior high school, she carried a small tape recorder in her schoolbag. At that time, they all had a broadcast function. What stations could be received and what time of day they were. She knew that Duan was broadcasting storytelling, and she sat in the back row in class with no one paying attention. She plugged in her headphones and listened to it every day like a TV series.
Now there are more convenient conditions. A set of storytelling books can be downloaded to MP3. You don’t have to wait, you don’t have to listen to advertisements, you can listen all the time, from morning to night, from getting up to going to bed.
Zhu Xichun and Lu Jiang liked to listen to storytelling at one stage, and they were also influenced by her.
Taking to the streets on New Year's Eve is the most special day of the year.
On this day, the downtown blocks are quiet, shopping malls and shops are closed, only a few restaurants in the blocks are open, and business is booming, but most of them are unwilling to cook at home and go out to eat New Year's Eve dinner.
The streets were no longer busy with traffic.
There are no more buses in the dark sky, and no taxis are coming out either.
They appear sporadically on the streets, and there aren't many customers. Only after eleven o'clock until two or three o'clock in the morning, the taxi business is still good during this time period. And this is good, basically it is also the reason why many night shift drivers give themselves a day off today, the passenger flow is not large, and there are few people carrying passengers.
It can be said that this day is not lively. In all places where people live, you can see adults leading children to play. As soon as it gets dark, there are already many children playing with rocking flowers, or letting the elders at home Brothers and sisters, take them out to build snowmen and the like.
The city has become quiet, and the neighborhoods have become quiet, but you don’t need to worry about not meeting people when walking on the street with street lights. As long as you avoid the main roads and the once lively neighborhoods in the city, walk in the areas where residents gather, and among the small roads. Walking through the space, you won’t feel deserted at all.
Tang Cen was not like this. She was just alone, with her hands in her pockets, her head slightly lowered, looking at the road. In fact, most of her attention was focused on the storytelling in her headphones. She likes this unique quietness that belongs to one person. She is performing tasks outside, or doing drills, training, or teaching tasks. The life in the army is pure, but there is no one of the same kind around her. She occasionally walks alone on the training ground. , walking around and around, immersed in your own world.
It's not that she's closed, it's that she doesn't want to open up. It has nothing to do with anyone. It's just that she likes it. She listens to storytelling, plays games, and is alone in the room without any pressure for a few days.
Listening to storytelling is different from watching TV dramas. You can wear it with your ears in the kitchen or the bathroom. She will reward herself with a carefully prepared meal. It doesn’t matter whether it tastes good or not. It’s when she is cooking that she doesn’t waste time listening to storytelling. .
Training, missions, combat, and beyond that, alone. It’s not that the world doesn’t accept me, or that I don’t like to embrace the world, but that in my heart, a life that conforms to my heart is the world that truly belongs to me.
"Come on, why don't we go to War of the Three Kingdoms together?"
When someone approached him, Tang Cen could hear it clearly even with headphones on, and he could still tell whose footsteps it was.
"Uh, okay." He took off his headphones and paused the storytelling.
There are some business places, although the business may not be good, some of them will still choose to open on this day.
If something like that happened during the day, it would be impossible for Han Tiesheng and Lu Jiang to choose to go home to celebrate the New Year. Now even if the boss takes a break, they will only go home unless they are unable to come out at No. 1 Anshun Street, otherwise they will definitely stay around the boss. .
Wei Tao did not dissuade him. He knew that he was dishonest during such a period of time and was indeed unfair to both of them, but he had no choice. Today he had to become a bad time management master.
It's not good, maybe it can be said that it's not good at all, the management is crap, it's just everyone deliberately pretending not to know.
We came to a game arcade near the junior high school. Wei Tao and Tang Cen used to hang out here for the entire junior high school. Later, there was a computer room. I still remember the first time Tang Cen was beaten by her parents in a mixed doubles game. She was essentially a girl who came out to play with Wei. Tao went to the computer room to stay overnight and didn't come back all night. How could adults understand that the value of staying overnight is not only cheap, but also the joy of playing all at once for one night.
The game hall is not in a bad mood, and there are still people playing. They are all celebrating the New Year. The children are celebrating the New Year at a nearby elderly home. In the evening, the adults play mahjong. Brothers, sisters, and younger sisters get together and come out to buy a few game coins to play.
The owner of the game arcade is still the same as before. The family is sitting around the kitchen eating New Year's Eve dinner and drinking wine. The game arcade is open, which does not delay their New Year celebrations.
Familiar music, familiar environment, the boss definitely didn't recognize them, and the two didn't deliberately say anything about "recognizing each other."
Wei Tao had already sat down and put in the coins to start the game.
Tang Cen went to the small supermarket next door, where they were having a reunion dinner and drinking wine. He bought two bottles of Coca-Cola, came back and sat next to Wei Tao, put in coins, and started.
The two of them took advantage of the opportunity to cross the page and pass the test. They skillfully unscrewed the Coca-Cola and drank it. They naturally lit the cigarette and smoked it. Both of them were mumbling. The mode of fighting for blood and harming each other began. They were full of smiles and began to use sarcasm in their mouths. ways to attack each other and never tire of it.
