Because he was worried that it was unsafe to set off fireworks on the mountain, Dong Qiangqiang originally wanted to drag a group of people directly to the empty parking lot at the bottom of the mountain. However, when he saw that his German neighbors were also setting off fireworks in their own backyards, he stopped worrying and put all his preparations together. Good fireworks are in everyone's hands.
He originally bought a lot, but the number of people putting flowers was less than expected, so everyone put flowers happily. Until all the fireworks were set off, none of the three people upstairs came down. It must be that they were tired after a long day and had already fallen asleep.
Everyone said "Merry Christmas" to each other and then went back to the house. However, Dong Qiangqiang was worried about the fire caused by the flying fireworks, so he continued to stay in the yard to observe after cleaning up the remains of the fireworks, and planned to go back to the house to sleep in half an hour.
Lu Shan was so sleepy that he couldn't keep his eyes open when he was putting flowers. He finally managed to hold on until the flowers were finished. He yawned and went upstairs to sleep without waiting for the other boys.
Lao Ding has been in De De for a long time, and his ability to stay up late has been developed from preparing for each exam. Although he still feels sleepy, he is much better than Lu Shan after all. And the number of calls he had made after a quiet night gradually increased while he was putting flowers on them. Before the flowers were put out, the people were gone.
There were only Lei Lanting and He Yuanjin in the huge living room.
New firewood has just been added to the fireplace, and the fire is crackling. The room is full of warmth, which is completely different from the winter cold outside.
He Yuanjin was wrapped in a soft crimson blanket and huddled lazily on the sofa, staring at the TV with bright eyes. He seemed to have stayed up all night to watch the "Sissi" trilogy that must be broadcast on German TV every Christmas. Posture.
Lei Lanting yawned and pointed at the TV: "Do you girls all love this? Just like when you watched "Dream of Red Mansions"?"
"It looks good. You don't understand this?" He Yuanjin didn't even look at him, "Why don't you sleep when you're like this?"
Lei Lanting raised his ears to search for Lao Ding's movements like a radar, and at the same time turned his eyes to the two people outside the window. After guessing that Lao Ding would not suddenly appear in front of them, he muttered meaningfully: "If I guessed correctly, , Lao Bai traveled so far this time, it shouldn’t be as simple as having a meal with Dong Qiangqiang, something must be wrong.”
"What's the matter?" He Yuanjin followed Lei Lanting's gaze and glanced out the window, but could only see the blurry backs of the two of them, and his heart suddenly brightened, "You mean the money that Lao Bai just took And Dong Qiangqiang’s share?”
He Yuanjin was a few years younger than Lei Lanting. When he first arrived in Germany, Tong Lele wanted to get the two of them together, but at that time Lei Lanting was only interested in Tong Lele shaving his head and picking up a girl, so the two never became boyfriend and girlfriend.
Time passed, and seeing Tong Lele choose Lao Bai to start over, Lei Lanting finally understood that a woman's heart cannot be melted by long-term love and bitterness, so he immediately realistically chose a man who in his heart was average in appearance, good-natured, but whose family background was not inferior to Tong Lele's. He Yuanjin, but because of the age difference, he always regarded her as a little girl who was inexperienced in the world. It didn't surprise him that He Yuanjin knew about Lao Bai's successful financing through Tong Lele, but He Yuanjin was actually able to understand his subtext, which really surprised him.
"It's hard to say, but it's not impossible." Lei Lanting shrugged, still staring outside, "Of course there are other possibilities, such as he discovered some way to make money. His sense of smell is the best among all the people. He is so smart that even Lao Dong is not as good as him."
"Are you trying to find out how to make money or are you jealous of Dong Qiangqiang?" He Yuanjin turned his head back and focused his attention on the cheerful plot again. He said, "If it's the latter, everyone knows that Lao Bai He saved his life, and by the way, there was also his girlfriend. You were unwilling to reach out at that time, and he was the only one who stepped forward, so wouldn’t he be looked down upon now? With this kind of relationship, Lao Bai found out that making money Lu, isn’t it normal to look for him?”
Seeing Lei Lanting's brows furrowed, silent, and staring thoughtfully out of the window, He Yuanjin quite resented his lack of argument and couldn't help but encourage him: "If you are really curious, go out and chat with them."
"Wait a little longer." Lei Lanting deliberately brought up the topic of making money just now, just to hear if Lao Bai or Dong Qiangqiang had any new ways to make money. Unexpectedly, he was beaten mercilessly by Tong Lele before he could start talking. No, Lao Bai didn't answer. Of course he wanted to go out and chat with the two of them, but he was worried that Lao Bai would be embarrassed if he went out rashly. This kind of thing had happened before.
He habitually took out a cigarette and held it in his mouth, intending to light it. Unexpectedly, He Yuanjin grabbed it and said, "Are you embarrassed to go over?"
Lei Lanting did not expect that He Yuanjin would hit the nail on the head, and was speechless for a moment. He could only use the movements of his hands to cover up his inner panic. Then he put another cigarette into his mouth with his backhand, but in less than a second, He Yuanjin took it again. Walk. He didn't want to waste the cigarette, so he had to give up.
"Can you please stop being such a brat?" Lei Lanting forced a smile, "What am I embarrassed about?"
"Pull it down, look at what people are giving Dong Qiangqiang, and then take a look at you." He Yuanjin sneered, "You said before that you prepared it yourself, but I thought you prepared something sharp, but it was just a few broken cards. Coupon. If I had known this, I would have been better off letting me buy it, which would have caused me to be looked down upon. You don’t even know what senior sister made fun of me just now."
Lei Lanting knew that the "jian'er goods" in He Yuanjin's mouth meant "good stuff" in BJ dialect. It originated from the CDs in the 1990s. He Yuanjin and Tong Lele both studied music, so they were naturally familiar with these things. .
Lei Lanting was embarrassed to ask how Tong Lele teased He Yuanjin. After all, he had just seen the gifts given to Dong Qiangqiang by others, especially the gifts Dong Qiangqiang gave back to himself and He Yuanjin. He already regretted it, so tonight he just gave him a lighter. Or red wine is better than coupons, but he refused to give up, and still retorted forcefully: "What's wrong with coupons? Coupons are not money? And who said I just gave coupons? I I have a big money-making deal to give to him. Besides, if I drive over to see him, don’t I have to pay for gas? I’m sending goose feathers from thousands of miles away, and I don’t care about the gift but the affection. What do you care about what other people think? ? Don’t you, San Lao Si Yan, know? This is vanity! It’s comparison! It’s money worship. Oh, no, it should be material worship!”
Lei Lanting became more and more excited as he talked, and sprayed He Yuanjin's face with spittle.
He Yuanjin took out a wet wipe and wiped his face angrily and said: "Others also drove here, why are they delivering things? Besides, didn't the car rental be paid for by Lao Bai? And the car wasn't full when it was rented. Is it oily? I want to compare, but you have to give me a good face. How about you? The etiquette is light and the affection is heavy. In the end, there is only one 'Liqing' left, right? Also, just now you said you have a big business to make money. Give it to Dong Qiangqiang, tell me first and let me see if it is a big deal."
Lei Lanting was so shocked by He Yuanjin's barrage of words that the hero was short of breath. He didn't know how to retort for a moment, so he could only shut up and gasp, staring at He Yuanjin's luck with wide eyes.
Seeing Lei Lanting shut up, He Yuanjin waited for a few minutes before saying in a gentle tone: "You are actually not a stingy person. When you chased me before, weren't you quite generous? I sincerely suggest you: If you still do it in the future, If you want to play with them, don't scheming with them, especially Lao Bai. You are not manly at all, and your eye sockets are particularly shallow. No one who can go abroad is stupider than anyone else, save it If you make money once, they won't play with you next time. If they are talking about how to make money now, wouldn't they not take you with them?"
Although He Yuanjin's scolding voice was low, it sounded like needles on Lei Lanting's back. He couldn't help but think that He Yuanjin's teaching style was exactly the same as Tong Lele's, and he was indeed from the same school.
"If you are really embarrassed to push forward," He Yuanjin stretched out the slipping blanket, "just give them a glass of your wine to keep them warm, and we can start chatting while drinking. What?"
Lei Lanting's eyes lit up. This method was good. He didn't expect that He Yuanjin would give him some advice after teaching him a lesson. He couldn't help but move forward to kiss her, but was pushed away by the other party with a disgusting palm: "Let's go." Come on, don't block me from watching TV."
Lei Lanting laughed and didn't force himself. He got up and went straight to the kitchen.
Dong Qiangqiang poured water on all the burned fireworks tubes and sprinkled water scattered throughout the yard, and then he felt relieved.
The cool wind quickly dispersed the smell of gunpowder in the yard. Although Dong Qiangqiang liked fireworks in the past, he did not like the smell of burning sulfur and saltpeter. But now he found that the smell that he found pungent and choking in the past was not unpleasant. On the contrary, it gave him the illusion of being in his hometown.
The light pink clouds in the sky above were mixed with a touch of light green, which looked quite heavy. Because of the clouds, there was no darkness around. He could clearly see hoarfrost clinging to the bare branches that had lost their leaves. A group of black shadows jumped lightly from the branches of one apple tree to the branches of another, and the target seemed to be the remaining apples on the branches.
He stood for a long time at the border between the yard and the woods. The neighing of the woods was like the deep notes played on the deepest strings of the largest double bass in the world, and the sigh coming from the depths of the woods was like a The giant exhaled a long breath. He couldn't help but look into the depths of the woods where white mist seemed to have risen, but unexpectedly heard the withered grass crunching behind him, and then a voice came from behind him.
"Are there any wild boars?"
He turned around and saw Lao Bai standing by the pond, looking down at the ice pit that had collapsed into a shadow on the grass. It looked like the footprints of some kind of animal.
Dong Qiangqiang secretly observed Lao Bai during the flower arrangement, and found that his expression was as usual, not excited or silent, and he knew in his heart that Lu Wei did not tell the truth.
He called Duanmu while everyone was joking and wanted to find out what happened, but no one answered Duanmu's call, and he went off to have fun somewhere else.
He thought he would ask Lao Bai tomorrow before everyone left, but he didn't expect Lao Bai not to return to the house.
"Aren't you asleep yet?" Dong Qiangqiang didn't think about it yet but decided not to ask.
"The night is still long." Lao Bai pointed to the ground with his hand, "Come over and see if this is true?"
Although Lao Bai's question was confusing, Dong Qiangqiang still understood what the other party meant. He walked closer and observed it carefully for a few seconds, then shook his head in denial: "It's smaller than a wild boar's (hoof print)."
"I thought I could make some extra money." Lao Bai didn't seem very disappointed, "I saw you standing there alone just now. Aren't you afraid of a wild boar attacking you?"
Dong Qiangqiang pointed to the dots of lights in the distance and the sporadic fireworks blooming in the night sky: "We had such a big formation just now, full of flowers and fire, how could the wild boar dare to come over?"
"That's right." Lao Bai turned his hand and found a brown-red leather case in his hand. He made a weighing motion and motioned to Dong Qiangqiang to take the thing.
"What the hell?"
Lao Bai smiled secretly: "See for yourself."
Dong Qiangqiang unbuttoned the holster and found a dark pistol inside, which was about the size of Dong Qiangqiang's palm. It had cold tentacles, was light in weight, and had a compact structure. It looked like it could be carried concealed. No wonder he didn't notice the old gun. Bringing a gun for nothing.
"So light." Dong Qiangqiang praised.
"Glock, as you have seen, it is small in size, light in weight, and can be inserted into the belt without any flaws. The most important thing is that the recoil is soft. I originally wanted to buy a Desert Eagle, and I am already planning to place an order, Lele It felt too ostentatious, so I ended up choosing this cheap one.”
"How much does the Desert Eagle cost? I've only seen it in CS, but I haven't touched a real one yet."
"It's almost 600 euros. It's legal." Lao Bai added, "Hurry up, it won't be troublesome to verify."
"No time, no money." Dong Qiangqiang smiled and returned the gun to Lao Bai.
Seeing that Dong Qiangqiang didn't even pull the bolt of the gun to aim, Lao Bai knew that he was not interested.
Lao Bai put the gun back into the holster, put it back on his waist, and nuzzled into the pond: "Did you dig this or does it already exist?"
"It turned out to be there, but it was small and shallow. I dug a little deeper."
Lao Bai nodded: "Do you want to raise fish?"
"No. I just dug it for fun while working for the landlord."
"If the landlord doesn't object, you can dig deeper and bigger," Lao Bai drew a big circle in the air with his hand, "Have you ever heard of Sankey Fish Pond?"
Dong Qiangqiang shook his head: "You are blind to ask."
“After digging the pit deeply, first lay an anti-seepage membrane specially designed for fish ponds at the bottom of the pit, which is available in building materials supermarkets.”
"Why are you paving that? Isn't there just ready-made mud and soil at the bottom of the pond?"
"It's okay not to use it, but using it can increase the water storage function of the pond and prevent water from seeping into the soil. If water seeps into the soil, in addition to affecting the soil quality, the water in the pond will also become less, and the oxygen content in the water will also decrease. It is detrimental to fish farming. In addition, with the anti-seepage membrane, it will be easier for you to clean up the mud at the bottom of the pond in the future. The mud removed will directly be used as fertilizer for the trees around you, and the fruits of the trees can be used as feed for chickens. , the chicken manure is dried and then put into the pond as fish feed. This kind of fish pond is called mulberry fish pond."
"Don't you study music? Why do you know everything that has nothing to do with music?"
"I learned it when I worked in a wealthy family when I first came to Germany." Lao Bai threw a stone on the ice of the pond, and the ice made a crisp sound. "But your (pond) is too small, and I guess you can't raise big fish." .”
"At most, I can only raise a few goldfish."
"That's not necessarily the case," Lao Bai stood up and waved his hand, "You can go back and finish this small (pond), and let the landlord see the effect and agree to dig a bigger one. Don't always think about getting it done in one step. "
Dong Qiangqiang said in his heart: Lao Bai really dares to think that the old lady can't even install WIFI, so she can let him dig a fish pond?
