low-key warlock

In the twelfth lunar month of winter, dripping water turns into ice.

It was past ten o'clock in the morning, and under the ravages of the icy north wind, the bright sunshine did not have the slightest warmth.

Xishan County, Xinmin Road, Shanshuiyuan Community Section, an old man wearing a gray and yellow cleaner's coat and a yellow hat, holding a broom, sweeping the edge of the road in the cold wind without haste. Not far behind him, there is a special open-top small tricycle parked, which is already full of garbage.

From time to time, there will be buses and cars passing by;

Lush evergreens on both sides of the road, trees with fallen leaves and withered leaves, nearby luxury villas, beautiful apartments, residential buildings, and colorful billboards...

Everything makes the old man humble and insignificant.

He swept a small pile of rubbish, then turned back and pushed the tricycle over. The swept rubbish was blown away by the wind. The old man carefully swept it together with a broom and shoveled it into the car with a shovel.

A black red flag car drove into the gate of Shanshuiyuan Community not far away.

The old man pushing the tricycle saw the red flag car, and a touch of sadness flashed in his cloudy eyes.He stopped, put the broom on the curb, sat on the broom, took out a pack of cigarettes and a lighter from inside his dirty coat, took out a cigarette, lit it, and took a deep breath.

It's almost New Year's Eve.

Wang Qimin knew that the black red flag car belonged to Gong Hu's big apprentice Xu Wanfa.

Wang Qimin also knew that Xu Wanfa had sent Gong Hu's daughter Gong Xiaorui and son Gong Xiaolei back.

This made Wang Qimin feel a little embarrassed about his current situation while missing his family—Gong Hu wants to celebrate the New Year with his wife and children, and he leads Diao Ping to live in Gong Hu's house, what is it?

22 years ago.

Wang Qimin, who had just survived the special period after the founding of the Republic, divorced his wife Li Fang due to many unknown reasons.After that, Li Fang took her five-year-old eldest daughter and three-year-old younger daughter to Danfeng City.Two years later, Li Fang married a simple and honest farmer in the suburbs of Danfeng City.

After the divorce, Wang Qimin, a teacher, lived alone, was thrifty, and sent most of his salary to his ex-wife on time every month as support for his two daughters.Over the years, he often missed his daughter, but in order not to affect his ex-wife's family life, he could only bear the pain of missing him silently.Occasionally, when his ex-wife brought his daughter to visit Wang Qimin, he was not good at talking and didn't know how to express his feelings, so he could only generously spend all his little savings to buy good clothes, delicious food, school bags, stationery for his daughter... …

The summer of seven years ago.

Li Fang brought her eldest daughter Wang Xuan, who is married and a mother, and the youngest daughter Wang Yan, who graduated from high school, to visit Wang Qimin again. Save it.

From then on, Wang Qimin began to have savings.

It was also from that time that Wang Qimin began to seriously consider the matter of accepting apprentices—the next year, Su Chunfeng was admitted to Dongwangzhuang Township Middle School, and Wang Qimin discovered his superior aptitude in practicing magic.

time flies...

Now, Su Chunfeng is already a college student.

The cigarette burned quickly in the cold wind, and the fine ash drifted away without a trace.After smoking two cigarettes in a row, Wang Qimin stood up with a smile, sighed softly, and muttered self-deprecatingly: "Old..." Then he picked up the broom, put it on the tricycle, and pushed the tricycle to Shanshuiyuan Community to the gate.

He has already decided to return to Dongwangzhuang Village during the Chinese New Year this year.

The black red flag car drove out from the gate of the community, turned right and parked on the side of the road not far away.

Gong Hu, who was sitting in the back seat, poked his head out from the lowered car window, waved his hands anxiously and resentfully, and said, "Boss Wang, come quickly!"

Wang Qimin was stunned for a moment, pulled the tricycle to the side and stopped, then walked across the road and got into the car, smiling, "Why are you in such a hurry?"

"It's not that little bastard Su Chunfeng!" Gong Hu said angrily.

"What's up with him?"

Gong Hu was so angry that he patted the back of the passenger seat, and said: "I know it's not good to hang out with you, and I won't be able to live in the future...Damn, what car do you think that little bastard Su Chunfeng came back from the capital?" No? I sat in the same car on the same train as my daughter and my son, and the damn neighbor was sitting next to him, and he got into a fight with my daughter and son! You say it is annoying Not angry?"

Wang Qimin wondered, "He helped your son and daughter, why are you still angry?"

"Can I not be angry? This little bastard Su Chunfeng must have done it on purpose!" Gong Hu stared at him with rounded eyes, and analyzed cursingly with his fingers: "First, this kid has no good intentions. He thinks that my daughter is beautiful. I want to play a trick of being a hero to save the beauty to coax my daughter away; secondly, he knows that I am the last person to owe favors to others, so he wants me to owe him favors, and I will pay him back!"

Wang Qimin couldn't laugh or cry.

Xu Wanfa turned his head and said in embarrassment: "Master, Su Chunfeng didn't know Xiaorui and Xiaolei at all before, let alone their relationship with you. Besides, he has a girlfriend who came back with him, as Xiaorui and Xiaolei also said just now , they chatted quite well in the car, you think so..."

"What nonsense?" Gong Hu said angrily, "Drive!"

"Don't." Wang Qimin hastily stopped him, saying, "Why did you call me?"

"Go and talk to Su Chunfeng." Gong Hu said with a face of reason: "You are his middle school teacher, and you are also an elder of the same school..." At this point, Gong Hu frowned and looked at the big apprentice Xu Wanfa , finally endured not to say the word trickery, and said: "I have helped you so much, and it can be regarded as helping him indirectly, so you have to testify to me that he helped my daughter and son this time, at best Even with me, I don't owe him anything."

For someone who is not familiar with Gong Hu's character, I'm afraid he can't stand this guy's unscrupulous words and nonsense.

Wang Qimin shook his head with a wry smile, ignored Gong Hu, turned to look at Xu Wanfa, and said, "Wanfa, tell me, what's going on?"

Xu Wanfa simply told the story.

Wang Qimin nodded and said to Gong Hu: "You are just too small-minded. Su Chunfeng has a kind heart. This time, he helped your daughter and your son. It's just that he couldn't see some people and some things and was kind enough to help. , he didn't even think about asking anyone to repay his favor at all, so why are you so serious?"

"Nonsense, if this kid is so kind, a pig could climb a tree." Gong Hu said angrily.

"Then you go, I can't afford to lose that person." Wang Qimin opened the door and got off the car, stood outside and then turned his head and smiled, "If you think it's appropriate." After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked around the back of the car to the opposite side of the road. go.

"Why is it inappropriate?" Gong Hu shouted through the car window.

"Appropriate." Wang Qimin waved his hands with a smile without looking back, and said, "It is appropriate to make Su Chunfeng feel that he is poor Lu Dongbin, and he will be hit hard."

Gong Hu was stunned for a moment, and immediately opened the car door and cursed: "You are the dog, you are an old dog!"

Xu Wanfa held back his laughter and took out a cigarette to light one.

The curse was ignored, Gong Hu became more and more frustrated, slammed the car door, stuffed a pot of tobacco leaves, lit it, and smoked vigorously, without urging the big apprentice to drive.

"Master, are you still going?"

"Go, go, go, you bastard!" Gong Hu said angrily, "Go home!"

Xu Wanfa smiled, turned around and drove back to the Shanshuiyuan community.

In fact, Gong Hu is not that kind of rascal by nature, but he has been very happy these days, thinking about how to tease this bastard who choked him enough when he met and talked several times after Su Chunfeng came back from vacation. Thinking of what this little brat did on the way home.

Gong Hudun, who has always been most afraid of being owed favors, felt that he would have no face in front of Su Chunfeng with the little trick he had in his hands.

This made him feel uneasy, so he wanted to drag Wang Qimin in a fit of rage, and blocked Su Chunfeng's mouth first, so as to get even in terms of human feelings, otherwise he would not be able to sleep well in the future.

Now that Wang Qimin briefly mentioned it, he certainly has no face to go to Su Chunfeng to say these things.

How can this be good?

At this time, Qi Cui had just asked her daughter and son about the details of the incident, and she was so angry that she was milling around in the living room like a she-wolf whose cubs had been stolen, while scolding her son severely: " It’s only been a few years since you got better outside, and you’ve lost all the martial arts you practiced, right? Look at your bear, why did you let a few rogues beat you black and blue? In the end, you have to ask others to help, you Are you ashamed? You, you, remember it for me, and when you see those boys again, beat them all to kneel and kowtow in front of your sister!"

"Mom, the place on the train is narrow, I can't use it, and there are too many of them..."

"shit!"

Gong Xiaorui hurriedly persuaded: "Mother, don't scold Xiaolei, he is beaten up like this. Besides, Xiaolei and I didn't suffer too much!"

"But girl, you are at a disadvantage." Qi Cui's eyes were red as she spoke.

Gong Xiaorui blushed, not knowing whether to laugh or cry—how did she end up with such a pair of parents, each of whom acted in an embarrassing way than ordinary people.

Qi Cui was about to continue to reprimand her son, when she turned her head and saw Gong Hu leading Xu Wanfa in dejectedly, so she immediately pointed her gun at Gong Hu: "You bastard, my daughter is being bullied outside No, you don't care, you ran out in a hurry as soon as they came back? Why are you running?"

"No, haven't you been bullied much?" Gong Hu murmured softly, shrinking his neck.

"Fart!" Qi Cui was furious: "I've been molested by hooligans, and I haven't been bullied much yet? What else do you want? Get out of this house, old lady!"

Gong Hu didn't dare to say anything.

Qi Cui turned her head to look at Xu Wanfa again, and said, "Wanfa, you know a lot of people in the city, ask where those bastards are from, I have to skin them!"

Xu Wanfa hurried forward and persuaded: "Master, please calm down, those bastards have already suffered a lot, we don't want to be as knowledgeable as them..."

Gong Xiaorui and Gong Xiaolei also rushed over to persuade them.

"Mom, don't be angry."

"Look, Pingwa was so scared that she didn't dare to speak."

"Yes mother, our family is living such a good life now, you really let Xiaolei, or you go to beat people to death, we have to bear the responsibility and go to jail, isn't life too much?"
