After Zhu Dashan left, Jiang Yuan and the two brothers who stayed on duty explained some things to pay attention to in the store.

Then Jiang Yuan got on his bicycle, bought some fresh fruits, and planned to visit Zhou Chuhong first.

After all, Zhou Chuhong's house is a little closer.

It was almost noon at this time, and the sun was shining warmly on me.

Jiang Yuan pedaled hard and finally arrived at Zhou's house around twelve o'clock.

In Jiang Yuan's impression, the Zhou family, like Wang Fei's family, should have a large yard or a large villa.

But in fact, Zhou Chuhong's family lived in an ordinary residential building. Although the community environment was good, Jiang Yuan was still a little surprised.

Carrying the fruit, I walked up the stairs and stopped in front of a vermilion iron door on the right side of the stairs on the third floor.

There are also Spring Festival couplets posted on both sides of the door, with smooth and round handwriting, which makes people feel inexplicably at ease.

In the room, a gentle female voice sounded:

"Chu Hong, go downstairs to ask your dad for dinner."

"Chu Hong? Why are you so dazed?"

Jiang Yuan could tell that this voice should be Zhang Chuhong's mother, and there was worry in her voice.

Jiang Yuan secretly thought that he came at the wrong time and chose the time when someone was having dinner.

Just as he was about to turn around and leave, he saw Zhang Guhua walking up carrying small cakes wrapped in oil paper.

"Jiang Yuan, you're here," Zhang Guhua smiled and quickened his pace, "Why don't you go in?"

"Come on, come on. What gifts can you bring? There are a lot of fruits at home."

Jiang Yuan smiled awkwardly, "I came at the wrong time, and I looked like I was cheating."

"Hahaha," Zhang Guhua knocked on the door with a smile, "Xue Mei, Chu Hong, open the door quickly, Jiang Yuan is here."

There were footsteps behind the door, and then the door was opened.

What appeared in front of Jiang Yuan was a woman who looked like she was only in her thirties, with no wrinkles on her face and eyes full of smiles.

"This is Jiang Yuan, please come in."

"Hello, Auntie," Jiang Yuan greeted with a smile, "I'm too embarrassed to call you Auntie, you look too young."

Xue Mei smiled softly, "You are already in your forties, why are you still young? Sit down quickly and I will get you bowls and chopsticks."

Just at this time, Zhang Chuhong also came out of the bedroom. She was wearing a purple nightgown and looked a little haggard, which would make anyone look at her heartbroken.

"I'm sorry, Jiang Yuan, for making you laugh. I should have thanked you in person, but instead I bothered you to make a trip."

Zhang Guhua and Xue Mei looked at each other and saw the joy in each other's eyes.

Zhang Chuhong has been in a bad state since she came back, but now she is finally back to normal.

"Don't worry, I'll be fine."

Jiang Yuan nodded, "It's okay."

"Okay, okay, don't be stunned. Chu Hong, go wash your hands and eat. Let's talk while eating." Zhang Guhua smiled, "Xue Mei, you also sit down. I'll get a bottle of wine. I'll accompany Jiang Yuan today."

Have a nice drink or two."

After a while, Zhang Chuhong took the red wine, poured a glass for Zhang Guhua and Jiang Yuan first, and then poured some for herself.

I saw her raising her glass to Jiang Yuan and saying sincerely: "Jiang Yuan, I really want to thank you this time. If it weren't for me and Wang Fei, you and Brother Zhu wouldn't have been so seriously injured."

"Don't mention this, we are all friends, as we should." Jiang Yuan and Zhang Chuhong clinked their glasses gently, and then gestured to Zhang Guhua, "Uncle Zhang, let's go."

Soon, most of the bottle of white wine was drunk. Jiang Yuan's face turned slightly red and his words became a little wordy.

Zhang Guhua and Xue Mei looked at each other, then heard Xue Mei ask with a smile:

"Xiao Jiang, I heard from Chu Hong's father that you were working hard alone in the city. Have you ever thought about bringing your family to the city and settling down in the city?"

Jiang Yuan was stunned for a moment and couldn't help but smile bitterly, "Aunt Xue, I am an orphan and grew up in the village eating hundreds of meals."

Xue Mei was stunned for a moment, and the next moment she felt sour in her heart, "I'm sorry for you."

"Okay, let's not talk about this anymore," Zhang Guhua coughed, "Jiang Yuan, let's continue drinking."

Jiang Yuan didn't refuse. He drank one cup after another and soon felt dizzy.

After eating, Jiang Yuan wanted to help clear away the dishes, but as soon as he stood up, he stumbled and almost fell.

"Chu Hong, help Jiang Yuan to the guest room to rest for a while."

Zhang Chuhong nodded lightly and helped Jiang Yuan into the guest room.

Strangely enough, this was the most sound sleep Jiang Yuan had ever had since his rebirth.

When I woke up, it was already dark.

Zhang Chuhong, who was sitting on the side reading a book, handed over a glass of warm water and said, "Moisten your throat. It's true that my dad wants to persuade you to drink even though he knows you are still injured."

Jiang Yuan sat up, took the tea cup and took a sip: "It's okay, I want to drink it myself."

Jiang Yuan suddenly looked at Zhang Chuhong with a smile, "It's really relaxing to stay with you."

Zhang Chuhong looked to the side with some embarrassment, "What do you mean?"

Jiang Yuan grinned, "Didn't I tell you last time? In our last life, we were good friends, friends who can make each other feel at ease, or...best friends~"

"What are you talking about? How can a man and a woman be best friends?" Zhang Chuhong finally blushed, "If my sister Shiqi hears what you said, I'm afraid she will be angry with you."

"That's right," Jiang Yuan smiled and nodded, "Don't pretend to be mature all day long. Laugh when you want to laugh, cry when you want to cry. This is life."

Zhang Chuhong was silent for a moment, "Actually, I also have a very special feeling for you."

"It's as if we have been old friends for more than ten or twenty years since we first met, and we can be completely on the same page."

"Maybe it's like you said, I was your best friend in my previous life."

Jiang Yuan shook his head seriously, "What if we are brothers? You might have been a foot-picking guy in your previous life."

Zhang Chuhong was not angry, and took the tea cup from Jiang Yuan and put it aside, "Get up, dinner is almost ready. I asked my mother to stew chicken soup to help you recover."

"By the way, how does that Niuhuang Pill work? Do you want to go to the hospital for a check-up?"

Jiang Yuan frowned for a moment, "Didn't Shiqi take the Niuhuang Pill?"

Zhang Chuhong shook her head, "She fed it to you. To be honest, she is really a good girl."

Jiang Yuan sighed, "I really just think of Shiqi as my sister. This girl is so serious. She even lied to me that she took the bezoar pill."

"Okay, let's eat first."

After a while, Jiang Yuan said goodbye to Zhang Guhua and Xue Mei after dinner and rode back to the store.

Xue Mei stood by the bed. After seeing Jiang Yuan leave, she turned back to look at Zhang Chuhong, "Chu Hong, what do you think of Xiao Jiang?"

Zhang Chuhong smiled helplessly, "Mom, Jiang Yuan and I are just friends."

Xue Mei didn't have much to say, she just reminded: "You are not young anymore, you should take care of your own affairs."

Zhang Guhua also nodded, "You can take some time out these days, and you can also spend some time with Wang Zun's girl."

···

Jiang Yuan got off the taxi and bought some midnight snacks before returning to the store.

The two brothers arranged by Zhu Dashan were studying chess in the store. Jiang Yuan handed them the midnight snacks, then lit a cigarette and walked slowly along the road.

Now that the ceramics factory in the village is on track and the antique shop has opened, it seems that his life after rebirth has stabilized.

But if you think about it carefully, behind the stability, there are still a lot of crises.

For example, Ye Hao and his father Ye Rong, or Jin Daqiang, the deputy director of Jinhai Chemical, and his son Jin Yunda.

"Alas," Jiang Yuan sighed, "I just want to simply pick up the pieces and be a happy collector, but these people are looking for trouble."

As he walked, Jiang Yuan found that he had arrived at the entrance of Yongle Song and Dance Hall without knowing it.

After Ye Hao's accident, Yongle Song and Dance Hall closed down, but at this time, the door was ajar.

Jiang Yuan looked inside and saw that there were many figures under the dim light. Counting carefully, there were at least thirty people.

Jiang Yuan lowered his steps and walked in, standing in the darkness.

In Jiang Yuan's sight, more than thirty gangsters were sitting in an awkward position. They were all smoking cigarettes, making the dance hall filled with smoke.

A man with a crew cut, about thirty years old, was pacing and said in a deep voice:

"There are more targets this time. Be careful when you do things. You must disguise it as an accident. If someone is caught, you must not reveal it to the rest of us."

"When it's done, each person will receive two thousand."

"Don't worry, brother, we're not novices, so we can't handle such a small job yet."

The crew-cut man nodded, "Xiao Wu, Mazi, Sun Bao, He Yu, your target is a boy named Jiang Yuan, he..."

In the darkness, Jiang Yuan frowned and quickly exited the dance hall on tiptoe.

Just as he was about to leave, Jiang Yuan suddenly had a plan in mind.

Jiang Yuan looked at the iron chain on the door and sneered: "You're in bad luck."

After saying that, Jiang Yuan used the iron chain to bolt the door tightly.

Then Jiang Yuan lit a cigarette and waited patiently.

About five minutes later, the door was pushed open and someone made a sound inside.

"Holy shit! That little bastard locked the door!"

"Is there anyone outside? Open the door for me!"

Jiang Yuan's eyes were cold, "Someone will let you out later."

After speaking, Jiang Yuan left directly.

The crew-cut man said with a stern face, "Kick the door down!"

A group of people immediately kicked down the door frantically.

But no matter how exhausted they were, they couldn't kick open the door.

A young man with long yellow hair wiped his sweat and asked anxiously, "Boss, will someone give us some?"

The crew-cut man's gaze instantly became fierce, "You mean, that bastard Ye Rong deliberately harmed us?"

The young man nodded, his face full of anger, "Boss, think about it, he gave this place to us, and he is the only one who knows we are here."

The crew-cut man also felt that this was the most likely possibility. When he thought about it carefully, his eyes seemed to burst into flames:

"That old bastard must still remember the holiday he had with us the year before last. Maybe he thinks we beat that boy Ye Hao."

"Damn Ye Rong," the crew-cut man gritted his teeth, "I will make sure you look good after I go out!"

At this moment, an alarm sounded outside.

"Boss, police!"

The crew-cut man's face became more and more gloomy, "Remember it all, we just had a simple gathering and chatted, we didn't know anything, and we didn't do anything!"

Suddenly, a young man ran over from a small room not far behind him and said excitedly: "Boss, there is a secret door in that small room. We can leave from there."

The crew-cut man's eyes lit up, "Then what are you waiting for? Come with me!"

A group of people rushed into the small room and left through the secret door.

They ran a long way away, and when they took a peek, they saw several police cars parked in front of the Yongle Song and Dance Hall.

The crew-cut man couldn't help but let out a sigh of relief. If he was caught, everything in the past might turn upside down.

As he thought about it, his expression became more and more angry, "That old bastard Ye Rong wants us to die!"

"Brothers, what do you think we should do?"

"Fuck him!"

"Yes, go to Ye Rong's house!"

"Make that old bastard pay!"

The flat-headed man nodded and waved his hand, "Follow me, I must give an explanation to Ye Rong today!"
