Song Yanru held back her tears: “I won’t let him cook.”
Song Yanru seemed to want to say something but ultimately remained silent.
After the meal, Song Yanru was about to return to the dormitory. A-Pu’s wife packed some yak butter tea to take to her. Because of the dark and unsafe night, Lu Bei also did not go to school to look after her parents and directly returned with Song Yanru.
Fang Bei sent her to the bus station. The short-distance bus was an old model from twenty years ago, just like the one she had ridden with Fang Bei’s child back then. The bus shook as it drove away.
The engine sound gradually faded, and everything became quiet. On the ground, a broken wine bottle reflected the starry sky, and a round shadow from the bottle cast across the street, like a wild dog that had run far away.
It had been two days of precipitation. This summer, she went to the school principal’s home to pick tea leaves. The principal took out some fine tea leaves from the drawer, arranging them on the tea table and challenging Fang Bei. They were all ordinary tea from the local area, with raw and ripe tea available, and the tea grades were not uniform. This summer, she picked a 5-gram small wild tea to avoid the principal’s tea cake. The principal said the tea she picked was brought by a small Russian girl last year to see her.
The old entrance was quiet, and the rich red tea soup accompanied the principal’s voice, giving a sense of nostalgia. Summer asked about Lu Bei and Yan Lu, and the principal just shook his head.
A North Korean does not like to drink. However, when he speaks, if I insist, he will also marry a young researcher. In fact, after he got married, he knew that as long as the conditions were not too different, people could get along, and basically could live a good life.
The aunt said: “You guys from North Korea are good at listening, so from a young age, you should be a standard cadre, and nothing would stop you from going out and printing and spreading.”
The school principal took the aunt to his balcony. The flower grass was full, and the dense leaves formed a thick green shade. Because the floor was high, the green color looked blue in the white day. The window was hanging with a bird cage, and a red-faced book boy was holding the wooden frame, with brain-like hair standing upright and flat, with a somewhat absent-minded look. The principal poured water for the flowers, and the principal looked short, with a changing color on his head.
The aunt said: “Principal, the head is going bald.”
The principal nodded: “It’s been almost two months, and it’s time to check again.”
“For several years, the North Korean students, you haven’t been strong enough these years.”
The principal said loudly: “That’s right.”
After leaving the principal’s home, the aunt suddenly thought of Xie Xin. Where was this head staying at home? Wouldn’t it be like the principal’s flower grass? She asked what kind of flowers she liked and went back to the dormitory with a point.
Dialing the phone, Xie Xin actually said she had already returned to Beijing.
The aunt didn’t expect her to go back. Even for a girl like Xie Xin, she also has her own life.
But the aunt was surprised. According to her understanding, she would find her own current job and then send her to the airport to be normal. This summer, she didn’t say much and hung up the phone.
In the evening, when he sat in a taxi back to the dormitory, he received a text message from the phone. He was worried about the repayment period. The tone looked urgent. And the sender was not the main body. This summer, he picked up the phone, and the man who answered the phone didn’t wait for this summer to speak, like a sales staff familiarly said: “Bring the money tomorrow at noon, or she won’t be able to.”
The aunt said: “Big guy, you don’t say how much money you’re bringing, where you’re meeting, Zhang Yan will tell people, you don’t have professional ethics, right?”
There was some noise on the other side, with several men discussing, arguing for about three to five minutes, and a male voice dragged out a Guangdong accent: “Tomorrow at noon, let’s discuss Xie Xin’s matter?”
It seems Xie Xin is not in Beijing, but in Mingming.
Old Lin, why not call Old Lin.
Tiandi Laundry Center is a four-star hotel. This summer, take customers over, some local guests want to go there to check in. In the aunt’s view, it’s generally nothing special except for the dead silence.
Around two o’clock, this summer walked into the big hall, and the little brother took him to find Old Lin.
Did not see Ruogang.
The aunt asked: “What about her?”
Old Lin was extremely small. This summer, when entering the door, Old Lin was standing in front of answering the phone, with his head not exceeding the back of the chair. After the phone call, Old Lin turned around, his head sparse, with a face full of anger. Old Lin sat on the stool, put his leg on the table and turned it several times, unable to stabilize, and the horse pushed the stool forward, and Old Lin just leaned back.
“Money,” Old Lin said.
The aunt sat motionless: “I want to live.”
So Old Lin let Xie Xin come over. The thin and delicate Ruogang swelled on her face, half of her face almost climbed onto the table, almost unable to make an expression, looking at this summer, she was obviously very excited and motivated. This summer didn’t care about her, tilted her head and looked at Old Lin: “What’s the meaning?”
Old Lin said: “She was in Beijing at my brother’s place. Thanks to her family. She was taken to resist, and she ran away before it was done. A few days ago, her family told me she was in Mingming. She said she didn’t want to go back to Beijing, so she would stay here, give her phone’s contact group a mass text message, only you would come. You still have money.”
“How much?”
“One hundred million.”
The aunt laughed loudly.
Old Lin looked at him angrily.
A hundred million? I’ll take out a hundred million, and all the good girls will sleep with me!
The female market is more standardized domestically, with women divided into three levels of famous codes. The female stars with bright tags are not willing to be humiliated. Hundreds of millions of people’s money can be calculated as tens of millions of yuan, which is indeed sufficient for the gold and beauty shared by Americans. The old man never expected such a situation this summer.
From a business perspective, the biggest dream is to encounter an insider.
The old man paused for a moment and then said, “Ten million.”
There were scalpers selling tickets. This summer, he couldn’t figure out these people with chaotic thoughts who dared to come to Jianghu. The most magical thing was that these laughing stars often wore expensive clothes, and their wealth seemed playful, sometimes seemingly unrelated to intelligence, as long as they had the guts.
Sister was too lazy to argue with him: “Keep it for yourself, I don’t want it.”
She walked out, her sharp eyes slightly dimming, looking at Sister passing by without stopping him. The old man shouted, “Leave ten thousand! Yesterday was good.”
Sister stopped, turned back and looked at him: “I won’t. I’ll bring a few people to help you. One night, two hundred, five days, I’ll earn it back for you.”
The old man watched Sister walk out.
The old man wasn’t sure if this summer would really bring people over, but the sharp angle was in his hand and could slowly replace him. Summer went out and called North to make a phone call.
“Call you to come to Tianzi Washing Center to investigate. Too complicated.”
