In the afternoon at the milk tea shop, as the temperature gradually warmed up and it was the weekend, there was an endless stream of customers from the neighborhood. As for who would come today, it was not a big shot, but it was someone very important to Brother Zhang.
This person is the other one of the "unreliable duo" who hasn't appeared in more than half a year, a fool named Cai Delan.
He and Yang Junfeng together constitute the only two bright colors in Brother Zhang's extraordinary world. They are people who know both Brother Zhang's state when he was young and his current state, but their attitude towards him has hardly changed.
In Mr. Cai's words, they are all brothers, and he does not discriminate against Brother Zhang who turned into a monster at all.
Today, Mr. Cai, who has participated in closed training for six months, is finally liberated. He sent a message to Brother Zhang more than three hours ago, asking him to prepare a portion of scrambled eggs with chili and a portion of noodle soup.
"Haha, I'm back." Cai Delan pushed the door in as he did in the past: "Do you think I'm dead?"
Brother Zhang slowly brought out the noodle soup and scrambled eggs with chili and put them on the table. Mr. Cai went up and started cooking without saying a word. The civil aviation uniform that he had not yet taken off made him look quite eye-catching.
"Why did you come back suddenly?"
"I didn't pass the assessment and was grounded." Mr. Cai sighed: "Forget it, there's nothing to say."
At this time, Brother Zhang also saw that there seemed to be something wrong with his nose. It felt like it was broken in the middle, so he stretched out his hand and pointed: "What's wrong with your nose?"
"Why do you think I was grounded?"
Mr. Cai let out a long sigh and ate up all the noodle soup in three swipes: "That day I took a short-distance trip. Short-distance, as you know, is leisurely and boring, so I drove the autopilot. Halfway through, I felt it was quite boring. Yes, I cut off my hand, and then I suddenly thought of you, so I said to the first officer, ‘You tell me, this person’s life is really meaningless’.”
"Then?"
"Then?" Mr. Cai pointed to his nose: "Then I received a left hook, and then I was pulled out of the driver's seat and tied up in the cabin with a belt until the plane made an emergency landing at the nearest airport. Then I was quarantined and examined.”
Brother Zhang laughed out loud, and suddenly felt that his life might really be inseparable from these idiots one after another. His life was really illuminated by these stupid guys.
"So what are your plans now?"
"Plans? I don't have any plans. I just want to come back to celebrate the New Year, and then go hang out with Yang Junfeng after the New Year. My suspension may last two years." Mr. Cai shook his head helplessly and said: "There is no quarantine review. In the past, there may be no way to go to heaven again.”
"Why didn't you pass?"
"Because they thought I was delusional, I was basically tricked. They actually got a video of me chatting with Sanniang. You said Sanniang has been reincarnated for so long, and this video is still there. This Isn’t it just to mess with me?”
Brother Zhang knew about this, probably six years ago. At that time, the spiritual energy had not recovered, and Brother Zhang didn't know how to control his own power. This led to the Chang'an Lane becoming a place full of strange creatures. Assembly point.
Sanniang is one of them, and she may be related to Mr. Cai. This ghost bride who committed suicide by jumping into a river on her wedding day more than two hundred years ago to resist an arranged marriage has an inexplicable connection with Mr. Cai.
One person and one ghost fell in love for several years. Later, Mo Zi couldn't stand it anymore, so he told Mr. Cai that ordinary people couldn't handle this kind of thing. The deeper their relationship becomes, the shorter Mr. Cai's lifespan will be. In the end, he may If his eighty-year lifespan is discounted, he will die before he reaches thirty.
But Mr. Cai didn't mind. After all, his relationship with Sanniang was stronger than gold, so he didn't take Mouse's suggestion at all.
But it happened that Sanniang also heard about this, and later Sanniang came to ask Xiao Zhang for help. As for Brother Zhang, he will agree to anyone's request as long as it's not too much, so he agreed.
After that, before Brother Zhang saved her, she went to the aviation school to talk things over with Mr. Cai.
And it was this last intense chat with Sanniang that was captured by someone using the camera function, and this video of Mr. Cai playing an exhibition match alone became the reason why he completely lost the possibility of becoming a captain this time.
It’s not the fault of the reviewer. After all, a person is so excited in the air. No one is confused when he sees this. There is no use in explaining. This industry itself prefers to kill mistakes rather than let them go.
So now Mr. Cai is basically expelled and sent home. Although he was framed, in the end he was the one who committed suicide.
And even if it wasn't this time, he wouldn't be able to escape next time. After all, even if he was on the safe side, he still couldn't guard against the deliberate intentions of someone with serious intentions.
Fortunately, Mr. Cai is optimistic by nature, and he has already begun to think about finding a job after the New Year.
"Didn't Yang Junfeng say before that we would go to Nanhe to pan for gold? We are going to give it a try." Mr. Cai bent over and rummaged through the box and said to Brother Zhang, "Sanniang will go to kindergarten soon this year."
With that said, he straightened up and took out a large pile of postcards and handed them to Brother Zhang: "I collected them from my colleagues and my master. How about it? It's interesting."
Brother Zhang nodded repeatedly, with a face full of joy, and then took out a special postcard with a face full of joy: "Fiji Tortoise Turtle in 1990!"
"Hahahaha, be happy." Mr. Cai took out a few more precious ones: "Hawaii in 1959, stamped. Commemorative of the premiere of The Great Dictator in Hollywood in 1940, signed by Chaplin. Special commemoration of Macau's return in 1999 Limited edition, postmarked December 20, 1999."
Brother Zhang's face was filled with excitement. He lowered his head and collected the postcards carefully.
Speaking of which, if Brother Zhang has any special hobby, it must be postcards. He has collected tens of thousands of postcards from all over the world. All his friends know that if they give him a gift, postcards are the best thing. .
And this kind of one with a special anniversary stamp is a treasure to Brother Zhang.
The two chatted for a while. Mr. Cai took off his coat, crossed his legs and said to Brother Zhang, "I left without saying goodbye half a year ago. Did it scare you?"
"Fortunately, I probably guessed it."
"well……"
While he was talking, he saw Thunder Dragon walking out with a basin filled with washed vegetables. He was stunned for a moment when he saw Young Master Cai, because the two of them had not seen each other for many years. When Thunder Dragon saw Mr. Cai, he was still in love with the ghost bride.
"Yo!"
"Yo!"
Thunder Dragon put down the basin and circled around Master Cai several times, and Master Cai also circled around Thunder Dragon several times. The two of them were fighting like cockfighters for a long time. Finally, Thunder Dragon slapped Master Cai on the shoulder: "Okay. Ah, it’s been so long since I’ve seen you grow so big, let uncle give me a hug.”
"Dead or die." Mr. Cai pushed Thunder Dragon away with a look of disgust on his face: "How come you are so dead after not seeing you for several years?"
"The world is impermanent. What? Do you think you have become the captain?"
"Don't mention it." Mr. Cai waved his hand and said, "There's no chance."
As he spoke, he told Brontosaurus about his tragic experience. Brontosaurus almost fell to the ground laughing after hearing this. Moreover, his injury itself was not easy to heal. Now he laughed and the lung tube leaked again, but he was still holding on to his chest. Na smiled and said: "Oh my god... this is too funny. What do you mean by saying that people are alive... Is that what you can say?"
"Are you going to die?" Mr. Cai kicked the Thunder Dragon and said, "Get up and shake people. I'll treat you to a meal tonight."
Mr. Cai is optimistic, cheerful and generous. Although he does sound a bit unstable, he is actually a very likeable type.
He was really willing to have dinner in the evening and set up eleven tables in the restaurant outside, which was full of guests and friends. It was said that it was to celebrate his boss Cai Jinpen's resignation, but no one knew why.
But I'm afraid not many people can understand that a person would throw a banquet just because he was fired.
Weird things happen and weird things happen. This is probably the characteristic of Chang'an Lane. It is full of all kinds of weird monsters, but it is precisely this group of weirdos that makes the world colorful and shining.
The evening breeze picked up, and the banquet was in full swing in the restaurant, which was bustling with excitement.
Mr. Cai stood alone outside the restaurant, holding a jar of daughter's red in his hand and pouring it little by little under the roots of the big locust tree.
"Sanniang, I promised your daughter Hong, this year's share. I don't know how old you are, whether it's a boy or a girl. If I knew, it would be a boy who would give you a Transformers, and a girl who would give you a set of Barbie dolls."
"Sir, do you want to tell your fortune?"
A hand patted Mr. Cai's shoulder while he was chattering. He quickly looked back and saw a man in a straight police uniform. A closer look revealed that it was a rat!
"You finally made it! It seems that you have experienced a lot in the past six months."
Hearing Mr. Cai's words, Mouse touched the brim of his hat with his hand: "Hey, are you thinking about Sanniang again?"
"Yeah..." Mr. Cai leaned under the locust tree and looked at the lights of thousands of families in Chang'an Lane: "If Sanniang were a human being, our children would be in elementary school soon."
Mouse also leaned there, looked up at the stars for a while, and said with emotion: "When I was a child, I hated evil so much that I vowed to kill all the monsters in the world. But later when I grew up, I realized that monsters are actually better than humans. Too cute. But it’s precisely this kind of cuteness...Oh, we can’t get married, Xiao Cai."
"I know." Mr. Cai chuckled and looked up at the starry sky: "But why don't you let me think about it? It's true."
"Sanniang is three and a half years old this year. She is very beautiful and smart. Her father is a university professor and her mother is also a teacher. She comes from a well-educated family. Her father is very kind and her mother is also very gentle." Mouse suddenly said, "Little Sanniang always dreams. I will dream about a stranger, and I think if we are destined in the future, we will get to know each other again."
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
"Forget it, forget it." Mr. Cai chuckled and said, "You just said, don't get married. Just know that she is fine, and getting acquainted with her will only increase your worries. Tell me what fun things you have done in the past six months."
85. A friend returns home
