Make a living

Chapter 109 Everything Has Changed

Sister Hong, Li Fei, chose to have dinner in a village in the city. It was a Jianghu cuisine restaurant not far from the old building.

When Qi Yu and Zheng Haichuan stepped on the clock, several tables were already eating.Cheng Zijun sat at one of the tables and waved to them, patted the empty seat beside him, "Hurry up, I'll wait for you two!"

There were many acquaintances at the table, including Gui Weiming, Lu Jun, the young couple on the second floor of the old building, Sister Zhang and her husband on the fourth floor.Zheng Haichuan couldn't help but leaned next to Qi Yu and whispered, "Is this table considered my mother's family?" They were all neighbors of Sister Hong.

Qi Yu glanced at him with a half-smile.

However, Zheng Haichuan found that Lao Yang, who lived on the fifth floor, was not there. He looked up and found it on another table.Zheng Haichuan was very surprised by the people sitting at that table, because there were quite a few people he knew there—all the maintenance workers he had seen in the housekeeping company he worked part-time!

"Hey, how did Miss Hong know them?"

Zheng Haichuan was still surprised when he sat at the table, and his eyes glanced at the table from time to time.Qi Yu calmly unsealed the bowls and chopsticks in front of the two of them, then scalded them with tea and said, "Didn't you listen to the story seriously last night?"

Zheng Haichuan was a little confused.

He tried his best to recall, but he still couldn't connect the two things.Qi Yu cleaned the bowls and chopsticks slowly, and reminded, "Sister Hong's house opened that day, do you remember what clothes Li Fei was wearing?"

The strings in Zheng Haichuan's mind were finally connected.

He remembered, the clothes Li Fei wore that day were the same as their housekeeping uniforms, the same color!So he put his fist on the palm of his hand, and suddenly realized: "He is also working on orders in our company!"

"..."

Qi Yu sighed speechlessly, poured a cup of Pu'er and stuffed it into his idiot's hand, and corrected his answer.

"Chuan'er, that's the boss who sent you the order."

Li Fei has been doing nothing but guarding Sister Hong for so many years.Although it is not as easy to get money as it used to be, but people with bright minds can always find ways to make a fortune.

The cheapest thing in an urban village is not rent, but cheap manpower.Therefore, relying on his previous connections and his familiarity with the seven streets and eight alleys of the village, Li Fei started the intermediary service business. It's a little famous.

Zheng Haichuan was really surprised.

When Sister Hong and Li Fei arrived at their table, he was still a little embarrassed and didn't dare to clink glasses with Li Fei.

Qi Yu drank wine for him, and dropped by to present a wedding gift for the middle-aged couple who had just received their certificates.When drinking with Li Fei alone, I also ask the newly appointed 'Uncle Red' to take care of his idiot.

Li Fei happily agreed, but it was Sister Hong who looked at him and Zheng Haichuan suspiciously several times.If it wasn't for the wrong timing today, Sister Hong would have dragged the two of them into questioning what their relationship was.

Qi Yu didn't hide too much, he understood everything he knew, and didn't see anything special about what he didn't understand.

People at the table took turns to salute, Sister Hong and Li Fei would not refuse anyone who came, and they all drank happily.

Today the couple treats guests, mostly friends and familiar neighbors.It's just that Qi Yu didn't expect that Sister Hong would call her upstairs neighbor, Sister Zhang, after all, this sanitation lady used to be one of the members who used to chew her tongue.

Ms. Zhang may not have thought of it before, but now she is invited to bring her husband to dinner, she still has a bit of embarrassment on her face.During the toast, she sent blessings to Sister Hong and Li Fei in a good voice, and apologized, saying that she had heard rumors and said bad things before, and told Sister Hong not to worry about it.

After all, this restaurant is not big, and the conversations at other tables drifted into Sister Zhang's ears from the moment she entered the door.

Sister Zhang loves to gossip all her life. Now that she heard that Li Fei is doing big business, and even several of her cleaning friends are working under the company, she has a lot of calculations in her heart.She and her husband are now working in sanitation. Although the work outsourced by the government is relatively stable, the actual salary is not high.She also plans to do some private work when she is free. Now that she has an existing relationship here, if she doesn't maintain it well, she will be a fool!

Sister Zhang's husband, Lao Chen, and his wife were two extremes. They didn't say a word when they were at the table, they just squeezed and laughed honestly, happily eating peanuts and sipping wine.On the other hand, Sister Zhang is capable of flexing and stretching. In order to earn money to save face, she even took the initiative to praise Sister Hong's hard work and dedication over the years to the people at the next table.He was so attentive that Zheng Haichuan couldn't help rubbing his ears aside, and suddenly felt that the words he had heard from Sister Zhang before were all hallucinations.

Sister Hong didn't respond to Sister Zhang's apology, she just nodded slightly to show that she understood.

When she turned around, Sister Hong took a look at Li Fei with a smile in her eyes.She said why this man insisted on sending invitations to this family. He was waiting here to vent his anger on her!

Sister Hong has been here for so many years, so she doesn't care much about other people's gossip.But someone loves her, and she feels sorry for her.

Qi Yu usually doesn't like to talk, just observes the transactions on the table, and eats quietly with his chopsticks.

From time to time, Cheng Zijun whispered something in his ear, whether his father forced him to go to the company to learn business, or how he rewarded some beautiful sister recently.Zheng Haichuan started chatting with Mr. Lu, thinking about how his little seedlings will go to school next year.

Lu Jun also took the time to inquire, and told Zheng Haichuan the advantages and disadvantages of the several elementary schools near them, and what conditions Xiaohe Miao really needs to go to school.

The whole restaurant was festive and lively. Although all kinds of voices were mixed together and it was a bit noisy, Qi Yu rarely felt irritable.

He even had the patience to find a small piece of rabbit diced mixed in a large plate of fiery red peppers. Although he thought it was too spicy after two bites, it didn't prevent him from putting it in the bowl of the young man who loves spicy food beside him.

Qi Yu vaguely remembered that he also participated in such banquets under the leadership of his parents when he was a child.

It's just that at that time, his mother was sick and had to talk and socialize with all kinds of unfamiliar female neighbors, while old man Qi didn't care about everything and just patted the table with those wine and meat friends to drink, and Qi Yu sat alone in the noisy environment, I just feel disgusted everywhere I see it.

I hate the auntie who wears revealing clothes and loves to smoke on the first floor, hate the eighth-law who gossips all day long on the fourth floor, hate the gloomy elder brother who reads poetry all day long on the top floor, and hate the uncle who always knocks on the water pipe with a hammer on the upper floor .

The little boy couldn't understand everything in this village in the city. It seemed that he could find fault with every part of everyone.

At that time, Qi Yu was full of heart to escape from such a place.

But now, returning to such an environment after so many years, Qi Yu's heart is as peaceful as returning home.

It seemed that nothing had changed, except that there was one more person beside him.

But everything changed because of it.

On the far table at the opposite corner from theirs, a thin old man with gray hair was drinking wine slowly with several men of similar age.Maybe it's because wine can help you forget your worries. After drinking too much, Old Man Qi's usually sullen face softened, and he sneaked a few glances here and there from time to time.

Qi Yu ignored old man Qi, looked at him for a moment, then withdrew his eyes coldly and continued to eat with his head bowed.But Zheng Haichuan seemed to have noticed the eyebrows and eyebrows between the father and son, looked at Qi Yu several times, and then boldly ran to the table over there with a drink and said a few words to old man Qi.

I don't know what he said, old man Qi nodded again and again, and the smile on his face became wider after putting down his wine glass.

After Zheng Haichuan came back, he carefully looked at Qi Yu's expression again.

Seeing that the man didn't show any boredom, he calmed down and leaned into Qi Yu's ear and said, "I'll tell Uncle Qi, tell him to drink less."

Qi Yu actually guessed it, but was not angry because of Zheng Haichuan's behavior.

He only used the table to cover it, rubbed Zheng Haichuan's flexible waist twice, and said, "Take my tiger skin as a banner?"

Zheng Haichuan shook his waist, tried his best to straighten up, and then he stuffed a big ball into Qi Yu's bowl flatteringly, and said with a smile, "He even stuffed me with food in the hospital last time, I call that What...well, borrow flowers to offer Buddha!"

Qi Yu didn't have much hope for his own idiot's Chinese literacy.

He just said lightly, "Don't expect me to forgive him."

"I know, I know. You two have broken off the relationship, and I'm angry for you too!"

Zheng Haichuan hurriedly patted his chest to ensure that he would stand by his wife's side, but secretly pushed his belly against Qi Yu's hand, "Now let's treat him as an ordinary elder, okay? He is so old and drinks too much wine Not good……"

Qi Yu's eyes widened.

"up to you."

As he spoke, he couldn't help but rubbed the young man's twitching abdominal muscles a few more times before he raised his hand to the table and picked up the meatballs in the bowl and ate them.

It's just that Zheng Haichuan always feels that the man staring at him seems to regard himself as a ball that can be chewed.
