"what's up?"

The man looked unhappy, obviously the content of the phone call just made him unhappy, but when he saw the blue boxed premium panda cigarettes handed over by Zhang Can, his eyes were startled, and he immediately reached out and took out one, very skillful Putting it in his mouth, he took out the lighter and lit it, then brought the lighter in front of Zhang Can and said, "One too!"

Zhang Can smiled and waved his hands and said, "My throat is uncomfortable..."

"Oh..." The man withdrew his hand, then let out a "hiss", took a deep breath of the cigarette, and held it in his cavity for a long time before exhaling it, as if he was immersed in the smell of the good smoke.

But as soon as the smoke was blown out, the man gave a "cough cough", stared and cursed: "Damn, fake cigarettes..."

Zhang Can blushed. In these alleys in the village, selling fake cigarettes is the most normal. It would be a bit strange to sell real cigarettes.

"This..." Zhang Can sneered and said with a sneer, "Brother, just let it go, are you from Chuan'an?"

"Huh, how do you know?...Your tone seems to belong to Chuan'an too?" The man was startled, and then asked Zhang Can with a surprised expression.

Zhang Can replied immediately: "Yes, yes, I am from Zhangjiazhuang, where are you?"

"Haha, what a coincidence, I'm from Dongcheng, you... what are you doing here?" The man suddenly smiled, and then pulled Zhang Can and said, "Go, go in and ask the boss to refund the money. Damn, selling fake cigarettes..."

"Forget it..." Zhang Canzi stopped him, and said in a low voice: "A pack of cigarettes can't make you rich, it doesn't matter, I don't have time right now, I'm in a hurry, I just want to ask you about someone, I don't know you Do you know me?"

The man said enthusiastically: "Say, who are you looking for? Do you live in this building?"

Zhang Can nodded, "It should be here. Her name is Liu Xiaoli, and she is also from Chuan'an's hometown. She works in a supermarket. I don't know where she lives."

The man was stunned, then stared at Zhang Can carefully, with a very puzzled expression.

From his expression, Zhang Can immediately knew that this man must have known Liu Xiaoli, and most likely he was her boyfriend, so he immediately smiled and said, "Don't get me wrong, my surname is Zhang, and my name is Zhang Can." , Liu Xiaoli should be my sister-in-law, and my fiancee is Liu Xiaoli's younger sister, Liu Xiaoqin!"

The man was stunned for a moment, and immediately smiled, nodded quickly and said, "Oh...it's my aunt...hehe, my name is Li Yong, and Liu Xiaoli is my wife...Girlfriend, what a coincidence, you'll find her soon I found it, let's go for a walk... go sit in the restaurant outside and eat something by the way..."

Zhang Can didn't expect it to be so smooth, so he smiled and walked out of the alley, asking while walking, "Is Xiaoli at home?"

"She's at work!" Li Yong answered, shaking his hands. The two of them came to the road outside the village entrance together, and suddenly their eyes lit up. The tall and bright buildings and beautiful decorations were completely different from those in the village.

Li Yong was originally walking towards the food stall at the entrance of the village, but Zhang Can waved him to the Keke Western Restaurant at the entrance of the main street. Auntie’s taste is not bad. Usually, people who can enter a western restaurant are at least a small white-collar worker. The cost of a meal of western food is as low as tens of hundreds of yuan, and as much as a few thousand. Ordinary migrant workers must not be able to afford it, like him in the supermarket. It is only 900 yuan a month, which is 200 yuan less than Liu Xiaoli. The combined wages of the two are only enough for basic expenses. Li Yong is a big smoker. He usually smokes more than ten yuan at home, but in You can only smoke cigarettes for [-] yuan here, and the stock is often out of stock. You can smoke on credit at the small cigarette stall downstairs, which is the shop where Zhang Cangang bought fake cigarettes.

Zhang Can took Li Yong to the entrance of the western restaurant. The waitresses inside the door had already opened the glass door, one on each side, bowing in salute: "Welcome to the Coco Western Restaurant!"

The voice was so sweet that Li Yong hadn't enjoyed such treatment for a long time, and hadn't been in such an environment for a long time, so he was obviously not used to it.

"Two gentlemen, please follow me!" One of the waitresses led the two inside.

Comfortable air-conditioning, decoration of green farm and vineyard, bunches of realistic grapes from green - natural mood.

Sit down in a side seat. The wall is made of brown stained steel glass, which is very clear from the inside, but cannot be seen from the outside. Zhang Can pointed to the opposite side: "Brother Li, sit down!"

Li Yong sat down suspiciously, because the waitress was giving Zhang Can the menu list, so she didn't make a sound.

"Chicken steak, three-color salad, um, another coffee!"

Zhang Can ordered, then pushed the order to Li Yong, and asked with a smile: "Brother, what do you order? You can order whatever you like!"

"This..." Li Yong smiled embarrassingly, and he was naturally embarrassed to say that he had never been in a western restaurant, so he just said, "It's the same, just order the same one!"

Zhang Can immediately waved to the waitress and said, "Okay, that's it, two copies are the same!"

The waitress nodded, and then saluted again: "Please wait a moment!"

"Wait!" Zhang Can stopped her again and asked, "Do you have any good cigarettes? Send me two packs of cigarettes!"

"There are Zhonghua, Panda, Yellow Crane Tower,..." the waitress read, and finally said the names of several foreign cigarettes.

Zhang Can immediately stopped her, "Okay, just Yellow Crane Tower, I can't even understand your foreign cigarettes, Chinese men only smoke Chinese cigarettes..."

The waitress blushed, and hurriedly whispered: "Sir, which one do you want? There are many kinds in the Yellow Crane Tower, the best one is the hard box 1916, two hundred and fifty packs!"

"Then this, two packs!" Zhang Can waved his hand indifferently and let her go.

After the waitress left, Li Yong stepped forward and whispered to Zhang Can, "Zhang... Brother Zhang, it only sells for two hundred outside Yellow Crane Tower 1916, she is so dark here..."

Zhang Can said with a smile: "It doesn't matter. The employees of the shop need money. It costs a lot, so it's normal to earn a little."

Li Yong smiled embarrassingly. He thought that the old aunt he met for the first time was similar to him, and it was more likely that he had just come from his hometown and came here to work and find a place for them, but he never expected him to be so generous. It still looks like he has some money in his hand. If Zhang Can said that he wanted to find a place to live, or asked them to introduce him to a job, etc., Li Yong thought about having a meal with him and then finding a chance to talk. , said that he was going to work, and then slipped away. Of course, if Zhang Can had a lot of money on him, that would be a different matter. Anyway, he is living a poor life now, and it would be good to get some money from Zhang Can. .

However, before he asked Li Yong, Zhang Can's performance had already surprised him, and even made him cringe. Just imagine, there are a few country people who just came from their hometown who might invite him as soon as they arrive in Jincheng. A fellow into a western restaurant?Will it cost 200 or [-] famous cigarettes?And just bought a pack of one hundred and five fake cigarettes at the entrance of the village.

Li Yong was really curious, he didn't know if this old aunt was real or fake, but his tone of voice was absolutely correct, the local accent of his hometown, outsiders would never be able to learn that natural level of.

"Old...brother, did you just come out of home, or have you already worked here?" Li Yong hesitated for a moment, but asked aloud, "Also, where is Xiaoli's sister? Is...is it Xiaoli?" Qin? I seem to have heard Xiaoli say that Xiaoqin graduated from health school and has been assigned to work as a nurse in the county hospital. Isn't her father...not..."

When talking about Liu Xiaoqin's father, Li Yong's tone became a little unnatural. Zhang Can understood that since he and Liu Xiaoli didn't care about family affairs, it would naturally be a little awkward to talk about it.

Zhang Can nodded: "Yes, I have been in Jincheng for several years, and I work in an antique shop. I met and got engaged to Xiaoqin when I went back to my hometown last month. On the plane at [-] o'clock this afternoon, Xiaoqin was with her father. Mom has arrived in Jincheng and is here for medical treatment. I have already arranged everything here. I came to Xiaoli because I want you to give your parents a surprise. Old man, maybe the family's feelings are better than any comfort!"

Li Yong was really stunned. In any case, he never thought that Zhang Can's purpose would be this, and Zhang Can said that everything was ready and there was no need at all, and he did not show the slightest intention to ask them to bear the money. I've heard from Liu Xiaoli that if her father's uremia requires surgery, it will cost at least 50 yuan. It's not guaranteed to be cured, and there are other expenses, let alone he can't afford the money. Even if he can get it out, he doesn't want to. The family is considered rich, but his parents are both old businessmen, and they have saved two to three million yuan in business for a lifetime. Even if Liu Xiaoli's family said to borrow, they would not borrow it. Yes, I need to see if I can pay back the loan. Besides, I can’t even get the interest if I lend it to them. Judging from the current situation, if I really borrowed it, the interest is still a trivial matter. I’m afraid the capital will not be recovered. Of course, Li Yong himself would not borrow it.

But is what Zhang Can said true?How can he get so much money as a part-time worker?

The waitress brought the coffee over and said, "Please take it easy!"

Zhang Can opened the candy box and asked with a smile, "Brother Li, do you want to add sugar?"

"Oh? Okay...hehe, I'll do it myself!"

Zhang Can calmly pushed the two packs of Yellow Crane Tower delivered by the waitress in front of Li Yong, "You take this cigarette and smoke it. Actually, I don't smoke!"

Li Yong was stunned again. If Zhang Can hadn't told the reason, he would still think that Zhang Can must have some kind of conspiracy. After spending so much money, he asked and gave it away again. Maybe he was going to kill someone. ?

In fact, Li Yong only met Liu Xiaoqin once. It was a year ago when Liu Xiaoqin came back from school. He met Liu Xiaoqin when he went to pick up Liu Xiaoli. It's comfortable, and this idea has been flashing in my mind, but now it seems that it seems a little vague. This brother-in-law seems to be really a rich man. Since he is rich, it is not easy to deal with.

But that's okay, there is a rich brother-in-law in Jincheng, and he must be able to eat and drink with him, so we have to establish a good relationship with him.

After thinking about it, Li Yong immediately took out his mobile phone and dialed it directly. As soon as the call was connected, he said, "Xiao Li, please come back from leave quickly. There is something urgent... What's the matter? Your sister and brother-in-law are here in Jincheng, your parents Come to Jincheng for medical treatment, the plane will arrive at [-] o'clock in the afternoon, hurry up, my brother-in-law and I are eating western food at the Coco Western Restaurant outside the village entrance, come here quickly, come directly!"

Li Yong hardly gave Liu Xiaoli a chance to ask questions, so he hung up the phone after speaking, and then smiled at Zhang Can: "Woman, she just talks a lot, huh, I'll be there in a while, I asked her to ask for leave, I was angry when I said I couldn't leave for work, what else is more important than my family? Isn't it just a job in a broken supermarket, at worst I quit my job!"
