The Pentium Era - South to North

From the first grade of junior high school, Liu Ligan slept on the sofa every day. Jin Lili and Zhang Chen got up at noon and saw him still lying on the sofa, facing inward. They didn't know whether he was asleep or not. They called him, he didn't. Ying, kicked him, and after a long time, he lazily turned around and asked them what they were doing?

"Eat." Jin Lili called to him.

Liu Ligan lazily got up, washed his face and brushed his teeth lazily, ate lazily, and fell on the sofa again after eating.

Jin Lili quietly said to Zhang Chen, "This bastard looks like he's finished."

They told him to go to Sanya. If not, go to Wuzhishan. If not, go to the coconut grove in the eastern suburbs. If not, go to Guilinyang. Or not. Jin Lili asked him, where the hell do you want to go?

Liu Ligan patted the sofa and said to Jin Lili, you go, I will guard my sofa within a radius of 20 meters.

Jin Lily and Zhang Chen were helpless. They couldn't stay at home like him every day. They could only go out to play by themselves. But every day, before they went out, Liu Ligan collapsed on the sofa. When they came back, they were still Maintaining the posture they saw when they went out, both of them doubted whether this guy had moved.

When he went to the kitchen, he saw that the pots were cold and the stove was cold. Even the sink was dry. It was obvious that he had never even entered the kitchen.

The two of them were helpless. They both knew the root cause of his illness but were powerless, so they had no choice but to go into the kitchen to cook. After cooking, they dragged him up and forced him to drink, eat and talk, watching as he gradually became like a human.

On the sixth day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Chen and Jin Lili got up and walked to the living room. They were startled to see Liu Ligan sitting there. He had obviously just taken a shower and shaved his beard, looking very energetic. Yes, when he saw them, he shouted:

"We went out to eat today. After eating, Zhang Chen and I will go back to Yilin's house. Our luxurious life is over."

Tomorrow is the seventh day of the Lunar New Year. Mr. Xia and Lao Bao will be back, and Jin Lili and the others will start preparing to pay New Year's greetings to some related households.

Zhang Chen is also going to the new company, Mr. Fu's home on Wenming East Road. After meeting the old woman, he will officially start working.

On the eighth day of the lunar month the day after tomorrow, Liu Ligan also had to go to work. Although there would be nothing wrong if he went to the newspaper office, on this day, he had to stare at Zhang Chen and their advertisements in the newspaper. This can't go wrong. If there is a mistake, the person named Fu will be there. They will think that you are not doing things well and that you failed in the first thing.

Zhang Chen and Jin Lili breathed a sigh of relief when they saw Liu Ligan recovered.

…

On the seventh day of the Lunar New Year, Zhang Chen made an appointment with Mr. Fu to meet at his home, the company on Wenming East Road, at ten o'clock.

When Zhang Chen got up, Liu Ligan also got up. Zhang Chen asked him, are you okay?

"It's okay, what can happen to me?" Liu Ligan said with a smile, "Are you afraid to see the boss lady and do you need me to accompany you?"

"Fuck you." Zhang Chen cursed.

"It's okay, it's okay. Women in Hainan are hard-working and kind-hearted, so they won't be difficult to deal with." Liu Ligan said.

Zhang Chen was too lazy to pay attention to him and went to wash his face and brush his teeth.

At nine twenty, Zhang Chen went out by bicycle. There were a lot more people on the road today, and there were more cars than usual. Many units had to go to work tomorrow. At that time, in Hainan, both the provincial government and the Haicheng City government Departments, the proportion of mainlanders is as high as 70 or 80. When it comes to media and public institutions like Liu Ligan and others, the proportion is even higher, with many reaching 100%.

These mainlanders from the outlying islands, like migratory birds, have all returned today. The whole city seems to be gradually recovering its vitality. Although many shops on both sides of the road will not open until the fifteenth day of the first lunar month, and the army of migrant workers will also have to pass that time. , and then began to flock back to the island.

At that time, not only Hainan but the entire country's economic situation was bleak. Hainan was no better than other places, but it was also no worse than other places. Many people who could not find a job after wandering around the island left the island. , and have not found ideal jobs elsewhere, they will still go to the island again after the New Year.

Zhang Chen looked at the streets full of people and cars, feeling as if the spring breeze had awakened.

Zhang Chen found Mr. Fu's home on Wenming East Road. It was located in an alley on Wenming East Road. Zhang Chen looked at the time and saw that it was already nine-fifty, which was later than he expected.

The alley is very cramped, with two or three-story old houses on both sides. Compared with the surrounding houses, Mr. Fu's house is relatively new and tall. It can be seen that it must have been extensively renovated more than ten years ago.

Zhang Chen stopped his motorcycle at the door. There were five or six steps at the door. Above the steps was a dark red door. Zhang Chen walked in. Inside the door was a room similar to Zhang Chen's house in his hometown, commonly known as The vestibule in front of the hall.

The furnishings in the front hall are very simple. There is a table in the back, on which the God of Wealth is enshrined. On both sides of the front hall, there are two wooden red-lacquered benches. Mr. Fu sits on the one on the right and the one opposite. There were two girls sitting, who looked like Hainan locals, and the three of them were chatting in Hainanese.

Mr. Fu stood up when he saw Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen quickly said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Fu, for keeping you waiting. There are a lot more cars on the road today."

Mr. Fu said it was okay, and I had just arrived.

Mr. Fu and Zhang Chen said that these two are my nieces who work as waiters at Wanghai Restaurant. They live on this floor. When Xiao Lin is not here, they stay with their aunt here.

Mr. Fu did not introduce who Zhang Chen was to them, but took Zhang Chen to the back and passed through the front hall. Behind was a small patio. There was a well in the patio. Next to the well, there was a platform. It seems that it is usually used for washing vegetables and laundry.

There are two rooms behind the patio. Mr. Fu's two nieces should live here. On one side of the patio, next to the house next door, there is an open-air staircase. Mr. Fu led Zhang Chen to the second floor. The layout is the same as that on the first floor, also separated by a patio, with two rooms on one side and one on the other.

Mr. Fu took Zhang Chen to the other two rooms first. The door of one room was closed. Mr. Fu knocked on the door, but there was no response. Mr. Fu cursed, "This bastard ran out again."

Mr. Fu told Zhang Chen that Xiao Lin lived in this room. Then he pointed to a small door at the end of the corridor and told Zhang Chen that the shower was here. Zhang Chen understood that this was just like Yilin’s mother’s house. It is a toilet that doubles as a bathroom.

Mr. Fu took Zhang Chen to the next room, which was the one next to the stairs leading to the third floor. The door was open, and there was a bunch of keys inserted in the door. Mr. Fu took out the key and gave it to Zhang Chen. and said to him:

"You will live in this room. This is the key to the door below. This is the key to the office. I think you can either move here in the afternoon and go to Xiao Xu tomorrow. He will also vacate the office at your construction site. Okay, you go and hand it over."

Zhang Chen said yes.

"Let's see what's missing. I'll ask my niece to buy it for you." Mr. Fu said.

Zhang Chen took a look and found that the room was fully equipped with beds, tables, cabinets and chairs, as well as electric fans and kettles. Zhang Chen said, "There is no shortage. There is indeed a shortage. I will buy it myself. Here Shopping is convenient.

"Yes, the house here is a bit dilapidated, but it is very convenient for shopping and eating." Mr. Fu said. He then pointed to the ceiling fan above his head and said to Zhang Chen, "This old house is very convenient." If you don’t have too much air conditioner, it keeps tripping, which can only wrong you.”

Zhang Chen quickly said: "It doesn't matter, there is no air conditioning where I live now."

Mr. Fu then took him through the aisle beside the stairs to the opposite side, which is the room above the front hall below. It is as big as the one below. It is arranged like an office, with two desks and There is a safe, an iron cabinet on one side, and a set of sofas on the side near the door.

Everything in the room, including the phone on the desk, is new. What is particularly eye-catching is that there is an air conditioner hanging on the wall above the desk.

Mr. Fu pointed to the two desks and said to Zhang Chen, that one is yours, and the one here, with the safe, belongs to the old woman, she is the accountant.

"What about Mr. Lin?" Zhang Chen blurted out.

"Which Mr. Lin?" Mr. Fu was stunned for a moment, and then he understood that the Mr. Lin Zhang Chen was talking about was referring to Lin Zhao.

Mr. Fu scolded: "He is a bitch. Don't call him that in the future, otherwise the people below will get confused. If you call him Xiao Lin, I told you before. You don't need to give him a shit. He is just an electrician. No." If you obey, kick him. He only lives here because he is a relative of the old woman, do you understand?"

Zhang Chen nodded and said, I understand.

Mr. Fu explained again: "Also, you and the old woman only need to know about work matters. Don't talk to him at ordinary times."

Zhang Chen said yes.

Mr. Fu walked to the door and called upstairs: "SU Fang, come down!"

Zhang Chen didn't know whether he called "Shu Fang" or "Su Fang". Anyway, this should be the name of the old woman mentioned by Mr. Fu.
