Bottom line

Chapter 014

"Dad, is the family area far from here?" Liu Jun walked towards the gate of the Jiangnan Machinery Factory with his father on his back, the dumb man still carrying two camphorwood boxes as he walked forward without looking sideways.

Holding the rattan chair, Tian Xiuhua looked left and right. Tian Xiuhua was very angry at the driver of the red taxi who was killing customers. People in the city made money with no conscience. Not daring to "make mistakes", she has to maintain the image of a good woman in front of Liu Jun.

"I don't remember either. It turns out that the factory entrance is not so grand, and there are not so many high-rise buildings in the factory. Let's go to the guard room and ask." Liu Dekui said.

Liu Jun came to the guard room of the factory with his father on his back, and asked the old man who guarded the gate. The old man didn't know who Liu Dekui mentioned was Hu Lanping. go and see.

It's no wonder that the doorman didn't know Hu Lanping who was married to Jiangnan Machinery Factory. This machinery factory made aircraft parts and belonged to a branch of China Airlines' subsidiary in Jiangnan City in the south. There were as many as 5 people in the entire factory area. There are two brands, one is the old brand of Jiangnan Machinery Factory, and the other is the brand of Jiangnan Branch of Huaxia Aviation Industry Corporation. The factory is very large and covers an area of ​​hundreds of thousands of acres. Uncle Duan Housong only found out when they were drinking together.

Aunt Hu Lanping and Uncle Duan Housong are both ordinary old workers in the machinery factory. Naturally, the guard cannot know where Liu Jun’s aunt lives, so he has to go to the family area first as the guard said. If the director of the machinery factory or The director of the factory police station must be well-known to the guards.

"There are two family areas, one is the new area and the other is the old area. The two residential areas are separated by a road. Go forward 500 meters to the intersection with traffic lights, then turn left, and go all the way to the end. It looks like 4000 meters. , and you can walk to the family area." The guard saw that he was visiting relatives from the countryside, so he explained it enthusiastically.

Liu Jun said: "Dad, let's call and ask."

"Okay." Liu Dekui said to the guard, "Master, can I borrow the phone? I haven't been here for many years. May I ask where my aunt lives?"

"No problem, you can call." The guard moved the landline.

Liu Jun carried Liu Dekui into the guard room, and Liu Dekui dialed a few numbers, and the connection was made at this time, and it came at seven o'clock in the evening. My sister and brother-in-law's family must be at home after work.

"Pingping, I'm Dekui. I'm calling you from the factory gate. Where do you live? I brought Ajun over here." Liu Dekui heard the phone was very noisy, there were bursts of ping-pong-pong-pong. .

"Brother, there are people coming from my house. It's inconvenient to live now. You can stay at the Jiangnan Guest House next to the gate of the factory. Housong and I will pick you up tomorrow morning." Hu Lanping's voice was urgent and a little hoarse.

"Pingping, you... okay." Liu Dekui shook his head helplessly, feeling like he was living under someone else's fence. He didn't expect to come all the way to join his sister, but he didn't even enter her house.

Liu Dekui asked Liu Jun to carry him to the Jiangnan guest house at the gate of the factory, saying that his aunt's house had guests tonight and couldn't accommodate him, and his aunt would come to pick him up at the guest house tomorrow morning. The impatient Liu Dekui ignored the background noise of smashing things on the phone. I didn't realize what happened to my sister Hu Lanping's house at all.

That's all there is to it. As soon as Liu Jun left the guard room with his father on his back, he heard a bell ringing in the guard room, and the guard yelled loudly, "Hi, your relatives are calling."

"Ah Jun, answer it." Liu Dekui was embarrassed to answer his sister's call again. He is also a person who wants to save face. This call was undoubtedly made by the younger sister who felt sorry for the elder brother and called back to invite their family to live.

"Auntie." Liu Jun took the receiver and called out cordially. In his impression, Auntie was an amiable person. When making long-distance calls in the canteen, I had several phone calls with my aunt, and my aunt kept sending short greetings from parents, which moved Liu Jun very much.

"Aunt, you mother, hurry up and bring 10 yuan to redeem him, or discount Duan Qixiao's leg." There was a rough, no, a rough voice on the phone, very arrogant.

Before Liu Jun could react to what was going on, he heard a familiar female voice, and his aunt was hoarse on the phone: "Ah Jun, please don't come here, Xiaoxiao owes them gambling debts, you can't pay them, you will be beaten if you come here , don't come here."

"Fuck, fuck off." The rough male voice on the phone grabbed the receiver and sneered, "Ah Jun, right? Just a word, quickly bring money to redeem him, I'll wait here."

"Hey, hey..." The phone hung up, and Liu Jun's face suddenly became cloudy.

"Ah Jun, did your aunt tell us to go home?" Liu Dekui, who was lying on Liu Jun's back, couldn't see Liu Jun's gloomy face. Didn't think badly.

"Auntie, you put down the chair. The phone signal was not good just now, and I couldn't hear where my aunt lives. I have to ask." Although Liu Jun's heart was turbulent, he pretended to be extremely calm, and carried his father out of the guard room.

Tian Xiuhua and the mute have been waiting outside the guardhouse, not knowing what Liu Dekui and his son answered the phone. Tian Xiuhua put the rattan chair away, looked around, thinking about what kind of business he should do to quickly come to the metropolis. get rich.

Liu Jun hugged his father on the rattan chair, walked to the phone again, explained to the guard, closed the door of the guard room, and called back.

After dialing for a while, it got through, but no one answered. Liu Jun was so anxious that he was sweating. Duan Qixiao, the only son of his aunt's family, was also his cousin. Someone had an accident. Someone went to the house to collect debts, asking for 2 yuan. Redemption, this matter is not easy, whether it is the cousin who really caused the trouble, or someone threatened, Liu Jun can't analyze the reason without seeing the person involved.

But Liu Jun analyzed from the sound of smashing things on the phone, and guessed that the cousin provoked a group of ruthless characters. The family was smashed, and he was forced to pay 10 yuan to stop, otherwise he would interrupt the cousin legs.

When I got off the train, I ran into a taxi driver who was murdering customers. Before I got to my aunt’s house, I received a phone call from my cousin Duan Qixiao who was being blackmailed. ?

Liu Jun dialed the number again and got through. When he answered this time, the male voice was rude again, the same person who said that he would discount Duan Qixiao's legs if he took 10 yuan: "Cousin, right? I'm changing now." Make up your mind, you go to the Jiangnan Teahouse immediately, at ten o'clock, if you don't see the money, don't even think about seeing anyone."

"No problem, you let your cousin answer the phone. Hey, hey..."

The man hung up the phone after he finished speaking. Liu Jun was so angry that his seven orifices were smoking, and he called back. There was a busy tone. Apparently, the aunt's phone was ripped off by the gangsters. Liu Jun still couldn't confirm whether the aunt's house lived in the new district. It is still an area owned by manufacturers in the old area.

"Master, Jiangnan Teahouse, do you know where it is?" Liu Jun asked the guard anxiously.

"Jiangnan Teahouse is a bit far away, opposite to the No. [-] gate of the company's flight test area." The guard replied.

"How long does it take to take a taxi?" Liu Jun looked up at the blue quartz clock hanging on the snow-white wall in the guard's room, and the pointer pointed to 45:[-] in the evening.

"The test flight area must be in the outer suburbs. It will take an hour to take a taxi here." The guard's eyes flickered, and he asked more curiously, "Hey, aren't you going to the family area? Why are you going to Jiangnan Teahouse again?"

Liu Jun realized something, and asked politely: "Master, a friend is waiting for me at the Jiangnan Teahouse. This is my first time in the city, so I don't know what the teahouse is? Do you drink tea?"

The guard nodded, shook his head again, and said seriously: "Where you are drinking tea and talking about things, is there someone in your family getting into trouble?"

"Well, there is something wrong. Uncle, how do you know?" Liu Jun faced the guard very sincerely.

"Let me guess. I have never been to Jiangnan Teahouse. I just heard that it is said that Jiang Haofeng, the son of the boss of our aircraft company, opened it. Anyone who can't settle things can go there and talk about it. There is a happy ending." Seeing Liu Jun's gentle manner, the guard told the story in detail.

"What kind of things will be settled? Is it because the debt cannot be repaid, or is it something that the dispute cannot be resolved? Why do you go to the teahouse? Isn't there a court to judge the injustice?" Liu Junyi There are a few questions at once, I have to figure out the reason for going to the Jiangnan Teahouse first, and then I will have a solid idea of ​​bringing money to redeem people.

"I'm not very clear about this. Anyway, it's something that can't be settled. Like what you said, you can't pay back your debts, the hospital misdiagnosed someone and died, and you have nowhere to petition. You can go to Jiangnan Teahouse and say that someone will receive you. Jiangnan There is a saying in the teahouse that there is a folk court, and there is nothing that can’t be settled when you come to the teahouse. It is said that the owner of the teahouse, Jiang Haofeng, has a very wild way.” The guard looked mysterious.

"Master, thank you." Liu Jun finally understood. The so-called Jiangnan teahouse is a place where black and white people settle disputes. There are many places like this in the old society. I didn't expect such a place to exist in the modern metropolis. It seems that the people's court is not as good as a private teahouse in the eyes of the people.

From the explanation given by the doorman, Liu Jun can roughly guess that his cousin Duan Qixiao, as an employee of the aircraft company, owed a gambling debt and couldn’t pay it back. He wanted to get rid of the coercion of the man who owed the gambling debt, so he proposed to go to the Jiangnan Teahouse to talk about the matter. , Let the owner of the teahouse preside over justice or provide a guarantee, and the teahouse will collect part of the guarantee money to make a profit.

Liu Jun looked at the quartz clock in the guard room again. It was almost eight o'clock. He settled his father in the Jiangnan Guest House and then took a taxi to the Jiangnan Teahouse. There was still time.

"Dad, there are a lot of guests coming to my aunt's house, and we really can't stay here. Let's check in at the Jiangnan Guest House first. The call just now was from my aunt asking me to explain to you. Don't be angry, my aunt will pick it up tomorrow morning." Liu Joon leaves the guard room, comforting his father.

Liu Dekui and his party followed the direction pointed by the guard and walked 300 meters to the Jiangnan Guest House. The guest house is a guest house for employees of the Jiangnan Machinery Factory. The accommodation conditions are good, clean and hygienic, and the price is cheap. 1 yuan a night.

It costs 1 yuan to stay one night, and Liu Dekui felt distressed for a while, thinking that he must rent a house nearby tomorrow, so that he can save a lot of unnecessary money.

After settling his father in the guest house, Liu Jun lied to his father, saying that it was his first time entering the city, and he would not be able to fall asleep for a while. Auntie serves father something to eat first.

Liu Jun and the mute left the guest house, briefly explained the situation to the mute, and asked with concern: "Ali, I'm afraid it will be bad luck if you go to the teahouse, are you afraid?"

The mute smiled honestly, shook his head, and waved his fist again.

"Brother, let's go." Liu Jun patted the mute's shoulder emotionally, beckoning immediately, and a red taxi creaked to a stop in front of him.
