Because of selling books, Chu Heng became famous again.
Even the big boss in the department praised him and said he was a good money maker.
And as a result, he completely fulfilled his nickname of the Good Fortune Boy, and he was placed with high hopes...
At three o'clock in the afternoon, the heat wave was still there.
Chu Heng happily came out of the office building with half a box of Mingqian Longjing that he had received from Mr. Meng, and drove out of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in a grand manner, heading towards Banchang Hutong.
I passed a non-staple food store halfway, and there was a stall at the door. There were a bunch of watermelons on top, with green skin and black stripes. They were huge and looked quite fresh.
Thinking that the little Huniu loved to eat, Chu Heng stopped the car, walked to the stall, looked at the watermelon on it, raised his head to the young man standing behind the stall smoking, and asked: "Is this melon sweet?"
"If you like it, buy it or not!"
The young man rolled his eyes in return.
Oh, fuck me!
Chu Heng suddenly became angry, so he reached for his lower back and found that he didn't have a watermelon knife with him. He decided to let go and honestly picked up a round watermelon and patted it.
The sound is crisp and clear, and the hand feels vibrating.
Well...it's a good watermelon that can save your life.
"That's it!"
Chu Heng confidently handed the watermelon to the young man, weighed it, paid the money, and left without looking back.
All the way back to Banchang Hutong, before he drove the car to the door of his house, he saw three cars blocked in front of his house, one old, one new, two Jeeps, and an old Shanghai.
Needless to say, he must be a visitor, and his status is not low.
"Tsk!"
Chu Heng looked at the cars and the watermelon on the passenger seat. He thought it might not be enough to eat, so he reversed the car out of the alley and looked for several non-staple food stores before finding one that sold watermelons and bought two more. big watermelon.
When he got home, he found a place to park the car and entered the hospital carrying three large watermelons in a cloth bag.
After walking a few steps inside, he heard Xie Lixuan's loud laughter and little Huniu's babbling words coming from the backyard.
A few moments.
Chu Heng walked through the hanging flower door and saw who the guests were.
In the main room, Xie Lixuan, the old madman Ying Pingshan, and the mysterious boss Ruan Wanli were squatting on the ground nervously, protecting the toddler Huniu. Their old faces were full of aunty smiles, and they looked at them. Like three old fools.
In addition to the three of them, Old Man Xie's daughter Xie Ying also came and was sitting on the Arhat bed chatting with Xiao Ni and two old ladies.
The drivers of the three cars were sitting in the pavilion on the patio drinking soda.
"What kind of wind brought you here today?" Chu Heng smiled and walked towards the main room carrying the watermelon.
The three old men didn't even glance at him, their attention was entirely on the little Huniu.
"Hengzi is back." Xie Ying smiled at him, gentle and dignified.
"Did you buy a watermelon?" Xiao Ni glanced at the bag on his back and guessed what it was just by its shape. It was so big and round, except for her breasts, it could only be a watermelon.
"Oh, Auntie Xie." Chu Heng stepped into the house and said hello to Xie Ying first, then bent down and put the watermelon in the corner of the door. At the same time, he said to his wife: "When I come back, I won't buy this melon." That’s right.”
"eight!"
Little Huniu also noticed him at this time, and quickly opened her little arms and walked towards him tremblingly.
The sound of "Dad" made Chu Heng feel like he was eating honey. He immediately transformed into the fourth big fool. He went up to hug the little guy with a smile on his face, and kissed her hard on her pink and chubby face: " Do you want to be a godfather?"
"Giggle!"
The little guy smiled happily and rubbed his little head on his shoulder with attachment, like a little kitten that had just returned to the arms of its parents.
Babies also have memories.
Even though a year has passed, she still clearly remembers that it was this man who gave her warmth, food and brought her back to life when she was at her weakest. So as long as she smelled his scent, she felt happy in her heart. She will be very stable, even if her grandson often robs her granary...
"What time will you get off work?"
"Isn't your care too lenient?" Chu Heng rolled his eyes at the old man and looked around, wanting Yang Guizhi to cut the watermelon, but he couldn't find her, so he asked his wife: " Where is Sister Guizhi?"
"I went shopping for groceries." Xiao Ni opened her arms to him and said, "Give me the child, and you go cut the watermelon."
After getting along with each other for the past few days, little Huniu has become more and more clingy to Chu Heng. As soon as this kid comes back, she will pester him to hold him. Apart from him, only Xiao Ni and Qin Jingru can snatch the child from Chu Heng's arms. Go, and you can carry her away for about half an hour at most. After a long time, the little guy will stop doing it and will look for her as a godfather.
"Then give me a hug first."
Chu Heng reluctantly gave the child to his wife, and then carried the watermelon to the front yard kitchen. After a while, he came back with sliced watermelon on a big tea tray.
I have to say that this grandson is really good at picking watermelons. Several watermelons have thin skin, red flesh, plump and juicy, crisp and sweet.
Everyone agreed after eating it.
Everyone in the room ate and chatted for a while. Around four o'clock, the little Huniu got tired from playing and started to breathe. Chu Heng carried her and went to her house with the deaf old lady.
Not long after, after he put the child to sleep, he let the old lady watch and returned to the main room. Seeing that it was still a little early for dinner, he happily took Old Man Xie and they set up a table of mahjong.
However, Chu Heng didn't seem to have good luck today. After only two rounds of cards, he lost a full two dollars.
"What a fool!"
After receiving another shot from Chu Heng, Xie Lixuan pushed away the cards with a smile on his face and said proudly: "Even though you are young, this mahjong thing is still as spicy as Mr. Jiang!"
"It's really a little short of heat." Ruan Wanli sighed and shook his head, glancing at the guy with some complaints. His cards were very good. If Chu Heng didn't fire the cannon, he would most likely be able to play tricks.
"It's a useless snack, but your brain can't match mine!" Ying Pingshan, an old lunatic, was rather irritable. He also made a good hand and slammed the table angrily.
"Let's just play cards. Where did you get all this nonsense?" Chu Heng gave the money with a dark face, turned to look at his coveted wife, and said, "How about you play for a while?"
"Okay, okay."
Ni Yinghong, whose hands were so itchy that she almost scratched the wall, quickly came over with a big belly and replaced Chu Heng.
Her luck was much better than that of Chu Heng. In less than half an hour, the three old men who were so arrogant just now turned green in the face.
Ying Pingshan, an old lunatic who almost got sick when he caught the cards and acted randomly when listening to the cards, was so angry.
They continued playing like this until after five o'clock, when my eldest cousin and Qin Jingru came back from get off work, they ended the card game and prepared to have dinner.
Xiao Ni happily counted the more than 20 yuan he had won, and boldly took out the only big ticket and handed it to her husband: "Take the pocket money!"
"Thank you!"
Chu Henngle took the money and glanced at the three old men with contempt, saying disdainfully: "You can't even win against a woman. You have lived such a long life in vain!"
"roll!"
"beat him!"
