low-key warlock

In the first month of 2004, on the night of the fourth day, Su Chunfeng did not go home.

Now that he has assumed the identity of such a half-hearted matchmaker for himself, he has to fulfill his responsibilities as a matchmaker. Under the reproachful, joyful, and hopeful eyes of his mother-in-law, he has no choice but to roll up his sleeves and go into battle—no, it’s just because of his mother-in-law. At home, we talked all afternoon about his aunt's marriage. During this period, he seriously discussed with Zhao Shangang and Zhao Shangang's mother when to get engaged and when to get married. All in all, the sooner the better.

In the evening, Zhao Shangang, who had completely settled his mind, invited Su Chunfeng to his home, and called Li Zhichao over with a phone call. The three of them drank and chatted until midnight.

Fortunately, Su Chunfeng, the deputy general manager of the planning department, is not in a hurry to go to work, and it is not too late to return to the company in the sixth grade.

That night, Zhao Shangang really let go of the thick layer of cold cocoon that had been tightly wrapped around his body for several years. He borrowed wine to confide in his heart: "In fact, I have been angry with myself all these years, fighting with fate. Angry, just thinking that I don’t believe in this evil, I, Zhao Shangang, lost my father since I was a child, my mother is crazy, and my family is poor... When I was young, I thought that whoever dared to laugh at my mother as a lunatic, whoever dared to bully my brother, I would beat him , Isn’t it just a fight? It’s nothing more than a desperate fight! Later, on the construction site in the city, I was beaten and lay on the bed for three months. It cost more than 200. At that time, I fought too much, and I didn’t have any clear goals in my heart. During the three months lying in bed, I just thought about it every day when I had nothing to do. After thinking about it, I understood. No matter how hard the fight is, people are afraid of me, but in the end, people still look down on me in their hearts. If I want to be looked down upon, I have to earn money, not just earn money to support the family, let my brother go to school, and see my mother in the doctor , I have to build my old house into a small western-style building, let myself drive a motorcycle, drive a car... only then can I be truly successful!"

"Then I started to learn how other people do business, dumping lotus roots and potatoes. I lost money and made money." Zhao Shangang seemed to be a little drunk, and told the truth: "There must be competition in doing business. I was smashed by people outside. I was surrounded by people and beat me so much that I couldn’t even get up. After being beaten, I developed a memory and learned something—how is this business easy to do, and how to make money quickly? The answer is that a business can only be done by ourselves , can it be difficult to do business? At that time, I didn't even know there was such a word as monopoly. The idea was right, but if I really did this, I still can't bear to bully those who are doing business in a down-to-earth manner. I’m not afraid of your jokes, I’m the kind of bitch who still wants to set up a memorial arch. Later, at the farmer’s market in the county town, the guy who sold lotus root came to smash my stall again. I led a few people from the same village The lotus root seller was also bullied by that bastard. He chased those people all over the market with a knife, and I was hacked several times! That time, I won. The bosses who sold lotus root with him said that in the future, if I see you selling lotus root in this market, I will beat you once... Later, I was the only one selling lotus root in the whole market. Just unload the lotus root to me and sell it!"

"Business, that's it."

"Everyone says I'm smart, but in fact, it's the same thing. It's just a tactic. To put it bluntly, it's courtesy first and then soldiers. To put it bluntly, it's like being a whore and setting up a memorial archway!"

"You gave the police money, and if they want to protect you, you have to make up for it. They protect you and protect you, don't they?"

"The bigger the business, the bigger my heart is. I can't help it. I can't help but feel the breath from my chest. No one in the village dares to look down on us anymore. But doing business outside, It is inevitable that you will meet richer and more powerful people. Sometimes, seeing their faces and listening to their tone, people will be angry, and they will grit their teeth and think that I must be stronger than you! Then, just rush and kill! Hit..."

"Chunfeng, I have to thank you. If you hadn't pushed me into a corner today, I would have hesitated. I was afraid that I would marry Wang Haiyan and have a child. I would be arrested and shot one day. They are orphans and widows, how will they live in the future? I can't let my child, like me, have no father since childhood, and then go to work hard to play with his life?" Zhao Shangang wiped his sore eyes and wrinkled cheeks , smiled and said: "But in fact, this is not self-deception and tricked Wang Haiyan, reluctant to let go, and refused to get married, am I still a fucking man? You are right, when I come out of prison, I will be clean Already! Jinzhou County, Pingyang City, Zhongzhou City... A cat or a dog, no one dares to provoke me casually. I do business in a serious manner, which is also very good. From now on, I will learn from Yang Shubin and be smarter than him Be more restrained... To tell you the truth, Yang Shubin, ruthless! This guy has a lot of lives in his hands! And until now, don't look at him on the surface, what to do, you should just go and do it! Poisonous hands."

That night, Li Zhichao listened to Zhao Shangang's story about the past. At the most exciting point, his blood boiled with enthusiasm, his eyes stared in worship, and he heard that Zhao Shangang's words had the meaning of washing his hands in a golden basin, and he felt a little regretful.

But Su Chunfeng knew that Zhao Shangang really let go.But letting go of the burden in his heart does not mean that this person will really turn his back on his evil ways and become a good citizen from now on. Rather, for many people who dare to provoke him, Zhao Shangang, who has let go of his burden in his heart, is even more terrifying!

Born to be a hero.

One time to break the cocoon, one time to succeed!

The next morning.

Su Chunfeng habitually got up before dawn, woke up Zhao Shan, asked him to help open the door, and then walked alone on the dark and quiet street of Dongwangzhuang Village.

When we got to the side of the village, at the intersection of Wang Haiping's small building, the phone rang. After looking at it, it turned out that it was Wang Haifei calling. Su Chunfeng couldn't help but smiled and pressed the answer button: "Haifei, you don't sleep so early, wake up what?"

"I know you have the habit of getting up early, so you weren't drunk last night?" Wang Haifei asked with a little concern.

"You should also know that I have never been drunk."

"Bah!" Wang Haifei spat and said softly, "Are you still at Zhao Shangang's house?"

"No, I've already walked to the intersection of your brother's house and the street..." Su Chunfeng said with a smile: "It's such a cold day, why don't we come out and enjoy the cold wind together?"

"Wait, I'm already dressed!"

The phone hangs up.

Su Chunfeng was a little dazed for a moment——Wang Haifei didn't get used to it so early, what's wrong today?He believed that Wang Haifei would not be so worried that he could not sleep because he stayed at Zhao Shangang's house overnight and would definitely drink - no one is more reassuring than Su Chunfeng drinking outside.

Soon, Wang Haifei, who was wearing a down jacket, walked quickly from not far away.

"Chunfeng."

"Well, here you are, don't be afraid..." Su Chunfeng quickly took two steps forward, grabbed Wang Haifei's warm little hands, and said, "Why are you waking up so early, it's because of the cold weather."

Wang Haifei pouted and said worriedly: "I didn't sleep well last night. I know you were drinking and chatting with Zhao Shangang and Li Zhichao, so it's hard to call you, alas."

"What's wrong?" Su Chunfeng asked in surprise.

"This year's Spring Festival, Li Fei didn't go home to celebrate the New Year, you know that?"

"Ah, I know, I got up early on the first day of the new year to call for New Year's greetings. Her parents have both gone to the capital this year."

Wang Haifei sighed, held Su Chunfeng's arm tightly, and said softly: "When I called her on the phone years ago, I didn't hear anything wrong with her tone, but now that I think about it, she might be the one who gave birth to the two of us." I'm angry... because we got the marriage certificate and got engaged, but we didn't tell her."

"Uh..." Su Chunfeng scratched his head and said, "Before the engagement, I called Pei Jia to ask. Li Fei is busy with filming and has no time to come back."

"Actually, I also called her and asked her if she had time to come back on New Year's Day. She said she didn't have time, and asked me if I had anything to do. I didn't have the nerve to tell her at that time." Wang Haifei said quietly, a little frustrated He said, "It's better to tell her at that time, alas."

Su Chunfeng curled his lips and was speechless for a while.

He called Zhang Lifei at that time, but his phone was turned off, so he called Pei Jia, and after learning that Zhang Lifei was filming, he didn't call again.

In the final analysis, this matter was still entangled in emotional issues - when he first received the certificate, he and Wang Haifei discussed privately not to tell Zhang Lifei for the time being, anyway, no one except his family members told him.Later, when the engagement date was set, I thought about calling Zhang Lifei and telling her when New Year's Day was approaching.But when it was approaching New Year's Day, both of them hesitated with guilt, and now they called to tell her, would Zhang Lifei be angry that he didn't tell her in advance?

After going back and forth, this matter was dragged to the present by the two of them knowingly pretending to be unintentional but actually doing it on purpose.

"When I was gossiping last night, my mother mentioned that before New Year's Day, when she and Li Fei's mother met on the road, she told Li Fei's mother about our engagement." Wang Haifei shook her head in distress, and said: "It must be, at that time Li Fei got the news, she was waiting for a call, but neither of us told her."

Su Chunfeng curled his lips. Before the engagement, when he and his father talked about whom to invite, he asked if he would invite Zhang Kaida, but his father said: "Zhang Kaida is an old friend. When you get married, invite him. There is no need to be alarmed by the small matter of engagement." People, the people I invited this time are mainly related to business matters."

So Su Chunfeng felt relieved a little, and hesitated even more.

Now think about it...

Su Chunfeng raised his hand and held Wang Haifei's head on his chest, gently rubbed her hair with his chin, and said in relief, "I'm to blame for this. When the sun rises, I'll call Lifei to apologize and explain to her."

"The two of us." Wang Haifei said softly.

"Alright."
