Chapter 28

The two of them ordered ten bottles of beer and a few dishes. The staple food was of course roast duck. In this spacious and quiet private room, the two of them started talking while drinking. "Xiaoxiao, just listen to me, how are you doing recently?"

"The clothing matter is now considered a second-tier line. We are mainly making mutton skewers now, but mutton skewers cannot use so many people, so I am still thinking about the next step of action to see where to find a way to make a fortune."

"The last time I received a letter from Lao Jiu, I still think the money is not enough? It's tens of thousands of dollars?" Zhu Jiahua said half serious and half teasingly: "Really, Xiaoxiao, with your talents, if you are willing to go to school and want to learn from me to develop like this, your future prospects... I dare not say others, but they must be better than me anyway!"

"Why didn't I see myself so good?"

"Hey, Xiaoxiao, don't just treat yourself as a dish..."

"Brother Hua, really, I have no idea about that aspect. I want to make more money now so that my aunt can live a comfortable life, and then take my little brothers and get rich together."

Zhu Jiahua shook his head disapprovingly. Since the two met, he always felt that Lu Li was really a self-employed person, but everyone has their own ambitions and cannot force it! "Then, what are you planning to do? In this era, everything you do is actually money, it depends on whether you have the courage and courage."

"That's true, I absolutely agree with you. During the Chinese New Year last year, I planned to go to Shenzhen (Zheng), which is one of the vastest and most remote worlds in China. If I can seize the opportunity and use my fists there, what is money? I can earn as much as I want!"

Zhu Jiahua nodded deeply and said, "I will lend you a word: I absolutely agree with you- why don't you go?"

"I can't go. Brother Hua, my aunt is old, and I really can't bear to part with her."

"This is all you are making excuses, jokes! A good man is determined by all directions. Where can he use the old man as a shield?"

"This is not a shield. If you let me choose, go to make money; or in Tianjin. Although you will make less money, you can see my aunt's smile when you go home every day, listen to her talk to me, and nag me about what happened during the day. I choose not to hesitate to stay in Tianjin!"

Zhu Jiahua sighed helplessly. Lu Lisheng had such a temper. What could he say? "Then, even if you make sense, you are going to stay in Tianjin for the rest of your life and never go anywhere?"

"Of course not the case. To be honest, I went to Hong Kong a few days ago."

"Hong Kong? How did you go? How did you go?"

Luli rolled his eyes, "Why are you asking this?"

"I'm not asking you, aren't this asking? Although the mainland can also go to Hong Kong now, the management is very strict. Am I wondering?"

Lu Li thought about it. Based on his understanding of Zhu Jiahua, the other party should not disclose this to more people. "That's the matter..."

Zhu Jiahua's expression became more serious the more he heard it. "It was you?"

"What... is me?"

"I mean, you are the one who beat someone to death in Hong Kong and was found guilty?"

"What do you... mean by saying this? How did you know?"

Zhu Jiahua burst into laughter and said, "Xiaoxiao, you don't know my current job. I am in the first bureau of the United Front Work Department, which is specifically responsible for Hong Kong and Macao. Well, you don't have to know the specific ones. Anyway, because of the convenience of work, we can sometimes come into contact with some newspapers and magazines from Hong Kong. Of course, they are all expired. Generally, they see content from half a month ago. But to be honest, I am a little uncomfortable with reading their newspapers and other newspapers."

"Is it because they are vertical layout?"

"That's right! So generally, I don't care much about anything except some local political news. Remember it's April, hey, is it April?"

"The day when the accident happened was April 4th."

"That's right, on April 4, the newspaper published a news about a robbery of a gold shop in Hong Kong. I didn't pay attention at that time. Later, when I chatted with my colleagues, we all thought that the security in Hong Kong was very bad. Good guy, someone robbed the store in broad daylight? Later, they heard that these people were subdued, and one of them was beaten to death! At that time, they mentioned that they were a mainlander, who knew it was you? Xiaoxiao, don't lie to me?"

"Where can it be? Brother Hua, we two have been so long, have I deceived you?"

Zhu Jiahua was so excited that he was almost dancing, "Okay, that's fine, now some of them will be bragging to them when I go back!"

"What a great thing is OK, this is a murder! You don't know, I knew afterward that someone was dead and it was a long time to feel uncomfortable."

Zhu Jiahua nodded frequently and picked up the beer to fill him up. "Xiaoxiao, don't think too much. Although you have taken a lot of action, the other party deserves it! If you are in China, you will have to be shot! Well, by the way, I will come home with me later and introduce you to my brother. To be honest, our Erhua is better than me. By the way, I have to ask you if you have something."

“What is it?”

"He has been admitted to Nanjing University and has to go to school in Tianjin for a long time. You can take care of it when the time comes."

"I didn't say that, by the way, how old is he?"

"What's your birthday?"

"I may be a dog in the year of the first month."

Zhu Jiahua burst out laughing and cursed: "I see you are getting back to life. Why don't you even know how many months of your birthday?"

"It's not a fault for me. My mother passed by not long after giving birth. She was raised in the street for a few days. Later, she went to my aunt's house. When she remembered it, she asked me about my birthday. Everyone shook her head and said she didn't remember it. In the end, she could only set the day I gave to my aunt as my birthday. It was a few days after the New Year, so she was born in the year of the dog. As for her birthday, it was calculated from that. Later, I thought, I should be a chicken."

Zhu Jiahua nodded. This memory that had never been preserved was not a pleasant memory in Luli, so he had to not mention it, "Then you are older than him. He is also a dog, but an April dog. Alas, Xiaoxiao, you will know when you see him later. Our Erhua is definitely the first place!"

"His name is Erhua?"

"He is called Guohua, because he is Xing Er. So he is called Erhua."

"I understand. Isn't it just going to college in Tianjin? I will take care of him."

Zhu Jiahua frowned and burped hard, "Let's go, Xiaoxiao, I'll take you home!"

"You can pull it down, I will take you later, you can lead the way."

"Okay. OK, no matter what... it's OK!"

Zhu Jiahua was drunk and pointed to the wrong path several times. Lu Li had no choice but to go around it bit by bit. Fortunately, the two of them were drinking beer. After a while on the road, he woke up a little. "Xiaoxiao, where are you riding? Why are you running to...Oh. Why are you coming to...** Square?"

"Nonsense, isn't that what you mean?"

Zhu Jiahua scratched his head awkwardly, "I tell you, go from here..."

When the two returned to the Zhu family, it was already past eleven o'clock. This was a narrow alley behind Fuxingmen in Beijing (Beijing). It was pitch black around, with only the small lights hanging in front of the bicycle (the road administration construction was very underdeveloped at that time, and bicycles had to be equipped with their own car lights for lighting) illuminating the area in front of a few meters. Zhu Jiahua was familiar after all. He jumped out of the car and led the way in front. After a while, he arrived at a door and opened the door. There was a courtyard house. "Erhua, Erhua! Xiaohe, Xiaohe, come out! There are guests here! Erhua, get up quickly!"

The lights were on at the same time in the main room and the east and west wing rooms. Someone murmured in the light shadow, "Is it a smoky thing that is not moral and smokey! Is it because I'm drunk again and can't drink alcohol, and I'm still so greedy?"

The three doors opened almost at the same time, and a woman's voice sounded, "Xiao Hua, what are you shouting in the middle of the night? Are you drunk again?"

"Oh, mom, look at this incident,..." Zhu Jiahua is almost thirty years old, and she still has a smiley face. "Why have you been tormenting? It's okay, it's okay, go back to sleep, go back to sleep."

The old lady couldn't see Lu Li standing behind him, gave her son a blank look, turned around and went into the house, "Brother..."

"Erhua, come here, come here!" Zhu Jiahua grabbed his younger brother, who was only wearing the closest vest and shorts, looking helpless, "What are you doing?"

"I will introduce you to me. Do you know who this is? Do you remember what I always mentioned to you. I met Xiaoxiao in Tianjin? It's him! His name is Luli! You can just call him Xiaoxiao from now on." After that, he turned around and waved, "Xiaoxiao, this is my brother, Zhu Guohua, younger than you. You can call him Erhua, and you can call him Guohua. By the way, Erhua, let Xiaoxiao sleep with you tonight, ah? I...I'll go to bed first."

Watching Zhu Jiahua staggeringly walk into his room with the woman, Lu Li and Zhu Guohua looked at each other and smiled bitterly, "Guo Hua, right? I'm Lu Li, just call me Xiaoxiao."

Zhu Guohua shook hands with him, "I have heard my brother talk about you, I have never seen you. This time I came to Beijing (Beijing)... Is there something wrong? Is there a place to help me?"

"No, come here this time..." The two of them spoke, but neither of them could tell the other's appearance, which made Lu Li feel helpless, "I said, how about we go into the house and talk?"

Zhu Guohua laughed, "Go in, talk, and go into the house to talk."

Walking into the room, Zhu Guohua lit the lights. This time Lu Li could see the other party clearly: Zhu Guohua was about the same height as himself. Like Brother Nai, both had a face with the same letter, but he was much thinner and much darker than Zhu Guohua. He was wearing a blue and white naval hull vest and underneath; he had a pair of long-lasting eyebrows, a straight nose and a square mouth, and was looking at him with the same gaze. The two of them smiled, "Xiao... I called you Xiaoxiao, okay?"

"Okay, why can't it be? I'll call you Guohua, okay?"

"Okay, of course."

Zhu Guohua picked up the cigarette roll and matches on the table, "I... by the way, are you smoking?"

"I won't smoke."

"Then I won't be polite to you," Zhu Guohua quickly lit a cigarette and took a sip. "I always hear my brother mention you. I heard that you are a self-employed person in Tianjin?"

"Yes, there is no place to go to work, and I don't want to go through the back door, so I can only choose this." Luli said: "I heard your brother mention you too. You seem to be in Xinjiang and have just returned recently?"

"Isn't that? Speaking of which, those who are not as good as mine have come back long ago. You probably know the situation of our family. If I want me to come back, or if I want to come back, I would have come back long ago. But... after staying in a place for a long time, I will have feelings for it. Moreover, our educated youth in Xinjiang have a great fuss to return to the city. Although I am not the leader of the educated youth, I have some connections, so it is hard to leave it alone."

"What about it later?"

"The country was still holding on to it at the beginning, but in the end there was no way, so we were asked to come back - it would be impossible not to come back. The educated youth in the country returned to the city. In addition, the troubles of Yun (Nan) Ding Huimin and others, the local area was a little scared, afraid that more serious problems would occur, so they hurriedly completed the procedures for us and came back."

"My situation is probably better than you. I went to the countryside in Tangshan and came back early. The province even canceled the Education Youth Office, and no one paid attention to us."

"I heard from my brother that during the earthquake, you saved several lives? Is it true?"

"It's true, but this kind of thing is nothing amazing. I was the first to wake up. If anyone had been to me, I might have thought of saving myself - I don't want to say anything about revolutionary comrades, just say it's a buddy. At that time, I lived in the same room with me, and we were all friends. We have been together for several years, just like brothers."

"I don't know what you think (I don't know what you think)..." The two of them actually said the same thing at the same time, and they were both stunned, "You say it first."

"Okay, let me say first, what I want to say is that although the years of educated youth are hard, the feelings we cultivated during the period of time we spent together are really deeper than the bloodlines of brothers!"

Luli smiled, "I want to say the same thing."

The two of them smiled at the same time again, and they had a feeling of being in the same mood: this person can become his own friend, and he is the best one!

Zhu Guohua smoked a few cigarettes, and Lu Li was shocked to find that he was also very addicted to smoking. "You smoked hard enough? How much does it take to be a day?"

"I haven't counted it, I'll have about two or three boxes."

“Too many?”

"It's okay, this is all practiced in Xinjiang. It's okay in winter. I hide in the house, smoke and chat with a quilt. You haven't seen us. The quilts of the male educated youth are burning holes and almost caught fire several times."

"This shows that the benefits of having too many people come. If you don't notice it, I can also find that if you live alone, there may be danger."
