Chapter 74 7

Xu Ke excitedly ran to Han Debao's house and told him that Wang Xiaosong was back.Han Debao happily called, but was disappointed. Tsui Hark, who was drinking pork head meat and peanuts at Han Debao's house, picked up the phone and was about to dial again, but Han Debao pressed his hand: "Maybe he is upset about something and he is not in the mood to answer the phone, why should we bother others?" Woolen cloth!" "I'm angry!" - Tsui Hark stubbornly pushed away Han Debao's hand and dialed the number. The other party asked: "Who?" "Who are you?" "Are you Tsui Hark? I am Xiaosong..." The voice was a little excited. "You don't deserve my brothers to miss you at all! You bastard!" Tsui Hark didn't wait for Wang Xiaosong's excuse, and put the phone down as soon as he finished speaking.

Han Debao, who was chewing peanuts dully, said, "You've passed!" "Passed? Not at all!" Xu Ke picked up the wine cup and drank it down. "I miss him every year, and I look forward to his reunion every year. I don't find excuses to scold him. I feel bad!" At this time, Han Debao's wife came from another A room comes out. Han Debao asked: "Is Han Lei asleep?" Han Debao's wife said: "Sleeping. Today's children are really hopeless! They are in the third grade of elementary school, and they have to be watched by their mothers to fall asleep. Do you want me to cook some more dishes for you?"

Tsui Hark said, "No need, it's just troublesome." Han Debao said bluntly: "I said, why is your butt so heavy? You should go too?" Tsui Hark looked at his watch: "Why are you kicking me out? It's not even ten o'clock!" Han's wife ignored her, turned on the TV, and sat on the sofa to watch it—the TV picture was very unstable, not only had "snowflakes", but also ran off the TV in a blink of an eye, so she had to fiddle with the antenna and tune the frequency for a while... She is not as young as she was back then, and she is not as agile as she was back then, and her temper seems to have improved—from her, one can feel that time is not forgiving, and life turns all kinds of women into mediocre families Women, it's so easy, so natural...

Han Debao received a cold reception when he called, feeling unhappy.Now, he drank two more sips of wine, slightly drunk: "I think back then, we were inseparable like brothers. How about a metaphor?" Tsui Hark said: "It's too fat to wear a pair of pants together..." Han Debao shook his head: "It's not this sentence, this sentence has the derogatory meaning of colluding and colluding..." Tsui Hark said: "If you don't see each other for a day, it's like three autumns." Han Debao nodded: "Yes, it's like this sentence. If you don't get together for a few days, you will feel that life is not right. Now, Wu Zhenqing has turned into a big boss. Seeing him is almost the same as seeing the mayor, so you have to make an appointment with the secretary first. As for Wang Xiaosong, he disappears every ten years and reappears every ten years. When I see him next time, maybe he will be 60. Let’s talk about Zhang Meng, too. Became an assistant to the boss of a big company. Once I went to a big restaurant to catch a thief, and I saw her once. She was very affectionate to me, and asked if there was anything I needed her to do. It sounded awkward. It seems that I have become a guy who needs to be pulled by everyone. Hao Mei is the most understanding person. But she is also a mute. When I go to her house, I can only talk to her husband. She has something to say, and she is right on the manuscript paper. I said it. Besides, it’s inconvenient to go often, for fear of disturbing her writing. As long as you come more often, it doesn’t matter whether I bother you or not, you can come whenever you want, and you don’t need to make an appointment..."

Tsui Hark said: "I miss the old days..." Han Debao grinned: "Put it down, I don't know you yet. Like a dog without a home, wandering around the city. When you came here, you were bored and had nowhere to go. Here you go Just ask for wine, talk about the mountains from east to west. Hey, you leisurely Lord Xi, when are you going to ask for a wife to start a family?" Xu Kemi squinted: "What? Are you worried for me?" Han Debao snorted and said, "I'm not worried about you, but I hope you get married soon and stop running to me. I'm different from you. No matter how late you stay up, the next day Can I sleep until noon, am I okay? I still have to rush to work early..."

Tsui Hark stood up: "If you say so, I'm really leaving..." Han's wife pulled him and pulled him to sit down: "Don't listen to him, drink a few cups of Erguotou, true and false, and shake everything out of your stomach. Don't care what others think when they hear it .” Tsui Hark looked at Han's wife: "He's telling the truth after drinking!" Han's wife didn't look at him: "Are you really pretending?" Tsui Hark turned his head and said, "For your sake, please sit down for a while." He sat down again, drank again, and grabbed a piece of liver from the plate, the last piece of liver—Han Debao fought with him with chopsticks.He scrambled to stuff it into his mouth, looked at Han Debao with vengeance, and chewed it with relish.

The TV picture faded again, and Mrs. Han got up to fiddle with the antenna, saying to herself: "I hated him for being in love with you back then. Now I'm used to it. Come and go when you want. He himself Well, the feelings are weak, and I still recite the set of scriptures just now..." Han Debao was half drunk and said: "They are better than me, Han Debao!" Tsui Hark said, "You're not doing too well! You're not satisfied with being the chief of the police station? What else do you want?" Han Debao said: "I'm like this, what do I want to do, what can I do? I've lost my desire to earn money. I don't even have a second-class diploma, so I can't earn money. It’s too much, but there are more than one hundred police station chiefs, and I, Han Debao, am one of them, and I’m an advanced one, so I’m mentally balanced..."

While watching TV, Han's wife listened to them, and then she added a sentence: "Listen, with his self-destructive thinking, no matter how many opportunities there are, can it be his turn, and can he still have a great future? " Han Debao's drunken eyes were wide open: "Who said I gave up on myself? The director of the police station is also a deputy! Xu Hark, what do you think we are? When we join the party begging for nothing, party tickets will no longer be popular. The most popular. People say that the director of the police station can be as fat as a fat duck if he wants to. But we don’t have the guts, we are afraid of trouble, and dare not enforce the law and break the law. It’s the first word, and it was photographed face-to-face. We didn’t try hard to be an advanced model! But if this high hat is put on our head, we won’t be able to gain weight..."

Tsui Hark enlightened him: "Then fight hard and be afraid of saying the words in a flash!" Han Debao said: "Do you think it's much easier to fight the fear of words than to fight selfishness? I'm thinking about it too. My kind of person is obviously suffocated to death like a cow - there is only one way left - —Be a good policeman, a good director. Do some small and unspoken good deeds for the common people. On the day of death, leave some memories in the hearts of the common people... I... I won't accompany you... I Gotta go to sleep..." He drank too much, and when he got up, he staggered a bit.Tsui Hark supported him, and after he stood still, he staggered to another room.

Tsui Hark glanced at Han's wife worriedly, - does that mean you don't want to go and take care of him? Han's wife used to say: "He's fine." After turning off the TV, she said: "Tsui Hark, my sister-in-law would like to ask you something..." Tsui Hark said, "What's the matter?" Han's wife said: "Exchange some US dollars. When you watch this broken TV, you always look forward to when the price will be lowered and you can exchange it again. Not only did it not drop, but it went up. I also want to add a video recorder, and my sister-in-law has nothing else to do now." I like it, I like to sit at home at night and watch some Hong Kong and Taiwan tapes."

Tsui Hark asked, "How much?" Han's wife said: "More than 1,000 is enough. Wouldn't it be much cheaper to buy it in US dollars?" Tsui Hark asked again, "What price should I exchange?" Han's wife said: "Then, please, sister-in-law, of course it is at the public price!" Tsui Hark pondered and said: "This...if it's less, I have some, and you can just spend it. It's more than a thousand, it seems that I have to find Zhenqing." Han Debao yelled from next door: "No!" Han's wife said quietly: "Don't listen to him. Now that the buddies from back then have become popular, he keeps alienating everyone." Tsui Hark also said quietly: "Then, I'll beg Wang Xiaosong for you. Zhenqing has it, and it belongs to the public after all. We don't need to take advantage of his company's petty gains. Wang Xiaosong must have brought foreign exchange back..." Han Debao roared again from the next door: "Don't beg Wang Xiaosong!"
Xu Ke came out of Han Debao's house and walked hesitantly on the quiet road.It could be seen that he didn't want to go home, but it was so late, and he didn't know where to go or what to do. He stopped suddenly, turned around sharply, let out a strange cry, and punched a set of plausible fists and kicks.He imitated Drunken Fist, swayed and stumbled all the way forward. The road that had just rained was wet, and the leaves and road surface reflected light under the street lamps. Tsui Hark's shadow dragged on the ground for a long time. Tsui Hark staggered up the stairs of his own building, standing in front of the door and found a letter stuck between the door.He took down the letter, opened the door, and entered the house. There are very few furnishings in the room, and it is not as spacious as it used to be, but it is by no means shabby.It's just not quite like home, somewhere between an office and a suite... He pushed away his parents' original room - on the wall, the portraits of his parents were hung side by side; on the double bed, two pillows were placed side by side; under the bed, two pairs of slippers were also placed side by side... There are cigarettes and ashtrays on the bedside table.A cigarette that will never be touched is stuck on the ashtray, and a high-end lighter stands next to it... Tsui Hark looked at the portraits of his parents - "they" seemed to be looking at him silently... Tsui Hark said softly: "Dad, Mom, I came back... a bit late...Dad, Mom, you can rest assured to sleep..." He gently closed the door again.
He was reading the letter in the big room—it was written crookedly on one page of letter paper: "Brother, I have returned to this city again. I heard that you have not moved away. I came to see you today, but you are not here." It's a pity (the two characters are written as "Different Khan"). Now, I'm an individual actor and I'm filming a TV series. I'll see you again in a few days when I have time!" The inscription is "Xiaowan". Tsui Hark said to himself: "Xiao Wan?...Where did such a Xiao Wan come from?" He couldn't remember, threw the letter on the sofa, and then, plugged in the video game console, sat cross-legged in front of the TV, and played video games. He played so hard... Hao Mei still lives in the original house.The walls, however, had been painted, the door and window frames painted, and the floor covered with plastic tiles.In addition, there is an extra row of bookshelves, a writing desk, and a sofa. Except for the bookshelves, this is the home of a female writer who does not show any "culture" everywhere, it is comfortable and simple. Hao Mei sits at the writing desk creating, the orange desk lamp illuminates the manuscript paper. Hao Mei stopped writing and took a book she wrote from the shelf.The title of the book reads——Hao Mei gave Hao Mei a souvenir.She took out a piece of paper from the book, which was the half of the paper that Wang Xiaosong had written her name on for her to sign.She looked at both sides, thoughtfully. At this time, there was a sound behind her, and she turned around following the sound, and saw her husband, Lao Pan, coming out of the inner room with a small tray containing a glass of milk and a few biscuits. He put the tray on the table, leaned over to look at half of her writing, walked up to her, and said, "If you can't write any more, let's put it down for a few days. Go to sleep. Huh?" Hao Mei nodded with a smile. Lao Pan said again: "Drink that glass of milk first." He picked up the milk glass and handed it to her. When she was drinking milk, he leaned over to read the half-page she had written, but she turned the manuscript over and did not allow him to read it. The husband smiled: "Okay, I'm not allowed to read it until it's finished, so I won't read it. I'll read it after you publish it." Hao Mei nodded. The husband got up, walked to the kitchen, and immediately brought in a cup for brushing teeth: "After drinking the milk, you have to rinse your mouth." Hao Mei looked at her husband affectionately like an obedient little girl and a happy newlywed wife. Past the brushing cup...
