Chapter 60 Chapter 15 (4)

Zhong Shanyue is practicing Taijiquan in the yard. This is a compulsory course for him every morning, and he has persisted for many years.Zhong Yuemin came in with two pancakes in his hand and shook them to his father. Zhong Shanyue hurriedly finished the routine and finally accepted. Zhong Yuemin said: "Dad, I'll buy you some breakfast, you can eat it while it's hot." The father took the pancakes: "It's better for the son to come back, I know I'll buy it early." "Dad, you should find a wife. Someone has to take care of you. You can't just rely on a babysitter. How about I introduce one to you? I have a comrade-in-arms whose father passed away. I think you married his mother." Come on."

"Yuemin, you're looking for a beating again, right? I've introduced someone to Lao Tzu. You should take care of your own affairs first. You're in your thirties, and you can't even get a wife? How dare you talk about Lao Tzu?" Zhong Yuemin said: "I don't need you to worry about it. It's not easy to find a wife. The key is you. You are a real poor family. You can't be high or low. At your age, it's a bit too much to pick people's looks. It’s enough to live with you in a down-to-earth manner.” Zhong Shanyue said while eating: "Just make fun of me, you bastard."

The babysitter heard someone knocking on the courtyard door and walked over to open the door. The person who came was Aunt Li from the next door. Aunt Li was also a veteran cadre with seniority older than Zhong Shanyue.As soon as the old lady entered the door, she raised her voice loudly: "Mr. Zhong, let me inform you that I will go to the old cadre activity station at two o'clock in the afternoon and say that I want to deliver documents to us. Don't go late, or I will leave before I leave." call you again?" Zhong Shanyue hurriedly said: "No, no, I'm not old yet, so I can't be late."

Zhong Yuemin hurriedly greeted her: "Aunt Li is here." Aunt Li seemed to think of something when she saw Zhong Yuemin: "Yuemin, I was looking for you." "Say, what's the matter?" "Just now I heard from my Ji Hong that you sell pancakes on the street, don't you?" Zhong Yuemin glanced at his father, and said nonchalantly, "Where is the matter? She saw the wrong person." Zhong Shanyue couldn't hear it: "What pancake?" Zhong Yuemin quickly interrupted: "Didn't I just buy pancakes for you?" But Aunt Li refused to let her go: "Yuemin, don't fool your Aunt Li, our Ji Hong can see clearly that you are still wearing a little white hat, yelling while spreading cakes, and claiming to be an authentic western region Come back, I didn't say you, aren't you making a fool of yourself? Is it plausible for a dignified battalion officer to work as a self-employed?"

Zhong Shanyue finally understood: "Okay, are you really doing it? I said why are you so diligent today? You went out early and said you were buying pancakes for me, and you went to set up a stall after making a fuss for a long time? You Still authentic Western Region Huihui? Even the fucking ancestors have been changed, I'll beat you up for nothing..." The old man picked up his broom and rushed towards Zhong Yuemin. Seeing the ferocious approach of the old man, Zhong Yuemin fled out of the yard quickly. Zhong Yuemin’s pancake stand has been in operation for two months, and his pancake stall skills are already very skilled. Gao Zai was busy collecting money, and the people who bought pancakes even lined up, which encouraged Zhong Yuemin very much. He also set up a wooden shelf filled with cigarettes of various brands. His business expanded and he also sold cigarettes.

Zhou Xiaobai hurried over on his bicycle and stopped: "Yuemin, give me two." Zhong Yuemin applauded: "Xiaobai, you are more than enough to cheer me on." Zhou Xiaobai smiled and said: "Of course, there is a pancake stand in front of my house. If it wasn't for your support, why should I go two stops to buy it from you? A few days ago, I joined a medical team and went to remote areas for medical tours. Yuan Jun Just got back from a business trip." "It's still interesting to say that we are old friends. Why didn't Yuan Jun come?" "Both of us need to come to buy a pancake? He's waiting at home to eat."

Zhong Yuemin said dissatisfiedly: "He just left Zheng Tong, and his house is three stops away from my place. He is called Zhengyi. Look at your Yuan Jun? I have opened here for more than two months, and this kid has never been here. You Tell him, if he doesn't come again, I will call the door." Zhou Xiaobai said: "It's fine if I come or not? I will come every day from now on, yo, who is this lady?" Zhong Yuemin acted like he was intoxicated: "Ask me knowingly, my girlfriend." Gao laughed and said, "Don't listen to his nonsense, my name is Gao, and I'm his partner."

Zhou Xiaobai looked at Gao carefully and said: "You have to be careful, this guy is bad, he only cheats little girls, he doesn't behave badly to you, right?" "not yet." "It doesn't hurt to be careful, just treat him as an old wolf with bared teeth, who may pounce on him at any time." Gao smiled: "It's okay, my grandfather is a hunter." Zhou Xiaobai said, "That's good, I'm leaving." Zhong Yuemin asked: "Don't you want two copies?" "You're going to kill me. If you want to rob, just say so. Be careful, you don't have a license. Be careful that people from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau will search you."

Zhong Yuemin didn't care: "It's okay, you can go to work quickly." Zhou Xiaobai rode away. Gao looked at Zhou Xiaobai's back and said, "Is this female officer related to you?" "We were friends in middle school and she was married long ago." "I can see that she has feelings for you." "Don't talk nonsense, her husband and I are buddies." "That's no use, love is not rational." Zhong Yuemin asked strangely: "Why did you have such an idea when you saw her for the first time?" "Intuition."

Zhou Xiaobai hurried back again: "Yuemin, run quickly, the people from the Industry and Commerce Bureau are here and are checking the vendors, and they will abduct them soon." Zhong Yuemin quickly packed up his things: "Thank you, I'll be leaving right away." He and Gao got on the tricycle and ran. As soon as they turned the intersection, the people from the Industrial and Commercial Bureau rushed over from another intersection. Zhou Xiaobai breathed a sigh of relief as he watched them run away... Zhong Shanyue was practicing Taijiquan in the yard. Zhong Yuemin and Gao pushed the tricycle into the yard. Gao spread out a piece of pancake for Zhong Shanyue.

Zhong Yuemin began to make fun of the old man again: "Xiao Gao, look at how quickly my dad changed his mind. The day he knew that I was selling pancakes, he almost beat me up. After my patient and meticulous ideological work, his old man finally had a gratifying change. " Gao laughed and said, "Yuemin, don't talk to your father." The old man glared at Zhong Yuemin while eating. "Dad, are the pancakes delicious? You still beat me that day. How can you look like a veteran cadre who has been educated by the party for many years? Your son is considerate of the country's difficulties and self-employed. Instead of praising me, you still beat me. This is wrong." After Zhong Shanyue finished eating the pancakes, he went to Zhong Yuemin's cigarette rack to get a pack of "Marlboro" cigarettes.He lit one, lay on the rattan chair and puffed away, ignoring Zhong Yuemin. Zhong Yuemin protested: "Dad, since I became self-employed, you haven't bought cigarettes. Have you caught cigarettes that don't cost you? You only choose imported ones to smoke. Dad, it's not that I don't want to, I'm afraid that you will smoke. I’m used to Marlboro, and I’ll change my career, what will you do? It’s like if you eat a lot of delicacies and suddenly let you eat corn bread, you will definitely feel very uncomfortable at that time, and maybe you won’t allow me to change careers.” Zhong Shanyue snorted: "I've thought about it a long time ago, and I don't bother to care about it anymore. I don't believe you can make pancakes for a lifetime? If you don't believe me, you put my words here, you kid will be annoyed if you can't do it for half a year." Gao comforted: "Uncle Zhong, we won't sell pancakes forever, aren't we waiting for reassignment work?" Zhong Yuemin said: "Dad, what if I sell pancakes for the rest of my life? Isn't this also serving the people?" Zhong Shanyue's eyes widened: "Stop being silly with me, don't watch me eat your pancakes, smoke your cigarettes, and still beat you up." "That is, how can you say that you are a father, as long as you don't interfere with my freedom, I am willing to bribe you every day." Zhong Yuemin was spreading pancakes. Gao wrapped up a pancake and handed it to an old man. A street vendor dressed as a farmer came pushing a trolley, and there was a sweet potato roasting stove converted from a gasoline barrel on the cart. After looking around, he put down the cart and walked in front of Zhong Yuemin, saying in a Tangshan accent: "Old man!" Brother, move your car aside, this is where I sell baked sweet potatoes." Zhong Yuemin also replied with a Tangshan accent: "My fellow townsman, this is where I sell pancakes. I am here every day." "I was still here the day before yesterday, and yesterday my wife came, and I didn't leave the stall, so why is it your place?" Zhong Yuemin said: "Do you have a license to sell baked sweet potatoes? Show me?" "Are you licensed to sell pancakes? Show me?" "Why not? I'm state-owned." "You are a ghost of a state-run company. They all go to the city to do small business. Why are you pretending to be a state-run company? Get out of the way for me." "I won't let you, how dare you do something to me?" Gao Zai covered his mouth and bent down laughing. The vendor finally got angry: "How dare you? I called a few fellow villagers to come and smash your pancake stand, do you believe it?" "My brother is the director of the Bureau of Industry and Commerce. I told him to copy your stove for baking sweet potatoes. Do you believe it?" The vendor was in a hurry: "Why are you so unreasonable? You took my place and you still mess with me? Who are you scaring with the director of industry and commerce? If your brother was the director, would you still sell pancakes? Can you go?" "Don't go, let's see what you dare to do?" The vendor pushed the pancake cart with his hands: "Don't go? If you don't go, I ask you to go. I don't believe that I can't cure you." Zhong Yuemin grabbed the hand of the vendor's cart and poked his four fingers downward. The vendor yelled in pain: "Oh, let go..." Zhong Yuemin laughed and said, "If I don't let go, who told you to bully me? I don't know how to fight, but I just poke my fingers. See what you can do?" Gao smiled and said, "Yuemin, let go of him, don't hurt his fingers." "No, he has to apologize to me. If he doesn't pay me two pieces of baked sweet potatoes, I won't let go." The vendor began to beg for mercy: "Oh, brother, take it easy, my finger is about to break, let me go..." "Then you bake me sweet potatoes..." A taxi pulls up across the street, and the driver gets out and walks up to the pancake van: "Dude, get some pancakes." Zhong Yuemin let go of the vendor's hand, turned around, he was stunned: "You are... Li Kuiyong?" Li Kuiyong shouted in surprise: "Zhong Yuemin?" The two shook hands excitedly. "Yuemin, haven't we seen each other for more than ten years?" "Isn't it? The last time we met was in Shichuan Village in northern Shaanxi." Li Kuiyong looked at the vendor and asked, "What's going on?" Zhong Yuemin smiled: "I was playing around with him. He said that I took his place and would bring a few fellow villagers to smash my stall. Is this plausible? Good farmer brothers, why do you learn as soon as you enter the city?" Broken? Just learn from the underworld to bully the market?" Li Kuiyong looked the vendor up and down and said, "Just you, are you still in the underworld? You find Bei first and then talk about it, go and go, why should you go, and it's your turn to bully the market? Pretending to be a grandson? Get out..." The vendor rubbed his fingers and pushed the cart up and muttered in a low voice: "I thought he was also from my Hebei border..." Zhong Yuemin, Li Kuiyong and Gao all laughed.
