Rebirth of financial migrant workers

Chapter 133 Halloween on the Ghost Street
"Guijie", formerly known as "Ghost Street", starts from the west end of the Dongzhimen Overpass of the Second Ring Road in the east and ends at the east end of Jiaodaokou East Street in the west.

The name "Ghost Street" comes from the Qing Dynasty. At that time, each city gate in the imperial capital had a special purpose. The imperial court used Desheng Gate to send out troops, Yongding Gate to withdraw troops, Xuanwu Gate to execute criminals, and Dongzhimen to transport timber to the city. And the city gate for transporting the dead outside the city. Outside the city is an endless cemetery.

Since the city gate was the urban-rural juncture at that time, the original morning market naturally formed inside the city gate. The vendors who mainly sold groceries, vegetables and fruits opened in the middle of the night and dispersed at dawn. The stall owners used kerosene lamps to light the market. The lights look dim in the distance, and the coffin shops and barrooms are adjacent to each other on the entire street, hence the name "Ghost Market". This street is also called "Ghost Street".

After the reform and opening up, as restaurant owners settled in this street, it gradually became the most famous snack street in the imperial capital. In order to avoid the inelegant word "gui", people took great pains to replace "gui" with the homophone "簋". This is why "Guijie" is a name that looks a bit different.

Tonight is Halloween, and when we are still a few hundred meters away from Guijie Street, rows of red lanterns are hanging overhead, occasionally interspersed with a few pumpkin lanterns.

When the cold wind blew in the late autumn night in the north, it rolled up the fallen leaves and made a whining sound. It was filled with a sense of desolation and terror for a moment, just like a scene from a traditional ghost movie in Hong Kong. The eldest lady was so scared that she shrank her neck and screamed desperately. Get into Wang Chunliang's arms.

When they walked through the Lantern District and formally entered Guijie Street, the street scene in front of them suddenly became bright and lively, with an endless stream of young people wearing simple costumes of monsters and monsters.

In order to blend into the atmosphere, Wang Chunliang bought a cat ear headdress for the eldest lady to wear when passing by a stall. Wang Chunliang immediately fell in love with the cute and beautiful cat girl. The beast-girl control gene in his body began to awaken crazily, and his smile gradually became obscene.

The eldest lady squinted her eyes to enjoy the touch of her boyfriend's head. Every time she went to a bright place, she couldn't help but stretch out her slender white wrist to show off the Bryn Bolin bracelet.

When he went shopping with his eldest daughter, Wang Chunliang found that every time she passed the Pandora counter, her eyes would always be attracted by the girly accessories on the counter.

This time when he came to the Imperial Capital, he went to the Pandora Main Store in Sanlitun and spent more than half a month's salary on a string of extremely 'solid' bracelets. He also bought a dozen different styles of enamel and glass beads to choose from.

The gift box of this bracelet was the one that made the red mark on the eldest lady's chest just now. When he opened the package, took out the bracelet and put it on the eldest lady's wrist, the cute look on the other party's face that he couldn't put it down fully affirmed Wang Chunliang's aesthetic ability.

There are many northern delicacies on both sides of the street, such as fried noodles, donkey rolling, beef tendon, and cold noodles.
The aroma made Wang Chunliang, who hadn't eaten for seven or eight hours, have his stomach growling. He touched the eldest lady's cat ears and asked what she wanted to eat. She pointed to the food not far away without hesitation. A storefront.

After seeing the store's signature dishes, Wang Chunliang couldn't help laughing.

Spicy crayfish, the eldest lady wants me to peel the lobster for her again.

Since lobsters were about to be withdrawn from the market, there wasn't much meat in the shrimp shells, but the eldest lady didn't mind. All she wanted was Wang Chunliang's love and affection.

Wang Chunliang peeled off a piece of shrimp meat, dipped it in the soup and brought it to the other party's lips:

"You haven't eaten well recently. Your chin is sharper than before."

The eldest lady stretched out her tongue like a kitten and rolled the shrimp into her mouth. While chewing, she replied: "I have worked very hard to eat, but I just can't eat it alone. It would be nice if someone could eat with me."

After saying that, she lowered her head in embarrassment, and her expectant eyes made Wang Chunliang feel a little distressed. "Next year, I think I can be transferred to the Imperial Capital Branch. By the way, what was the result of your regular review at the hospital this morning?" " The doctor said I'm still a little bit anemic, but it's not a major problem, don't worry."

"Well, sitting at that table is the guy named Zhao who brought you flowers before, right?" The eldest lady followed Wang Chunliang's finger and looked towards the southeast corner of the store. She frowned slightly when she recognized that the other person was his colleague Zhao Wuji. He frowned and moved closer to Wang Chunliang.

Ever since Luo Wanning spoiled him last time and shattered his dream of courtship, Zhao Wuji had been trying to find out Wang Chunliang's identity. After learning that Wang Chunliang was far away in Hedong City, his heart that was ready to be dusted began to start again. Become restless.

So the moment Luo Wanning walked in, Zhao Wuji stood up reflexively, and even thought about the plot of inviting him to eat and go shopping together.

But who would have expected that after the goddess came in, she would be holding a man in her hand, that is Wang Chunliang, so Zhao Wuji had no choice but to sit back dejectedly.

Afterwards, seeing the eldest lady being fed obediently, he suddenly lost his appetite, and even the two female companions around him lost their appetite.

"He doesn't dare to harass you anymore, does he?" Wang Chunliang wiped his hands with a wet paper towel after peeling the lobster shell, and pinched the eldest lady's face and asked.

The eldest lady nodded: "Well, after you asked me to move to the new office, I usually don't have to lock the door since my father is the doorkeeper."

The meal was almost done. The eldest lady stood up first to pay the bill. Zhao Wuji, who had been paying attention all the time, rushed to the bar first. He glared at Wang Chunliang who was following Luo Wanning with contempt. He felt that he was very masculine. The cashier said loudly that I would pay for that table.

He generously took out a hundred-dollar bill from his Hermès wallet and reminded him kindly:
"I don't even want to spend money on a date for a meal. This kind of man is just eating soft food. You must not find him. If you find him, you should break up as soon as possible. Wanning, are you right? Wanning? Huh? Where is the person?"

After Zhao Wuji paid the money, he found that Luo Wanning, who was standing on the left, had disappeared. He hurriedly turned around and chased him out of the door. He saw that Wang Chunliang had walked to the other side of the street with Luo Wanning in his arms.

Zhao Wuji touched his shriveled wallet and felt that the clown in Gotham City was waving to him.

The eldest lady shook her boyfriend's arm: "I'd better ask dad to pay him back the meal money next Monday."

Wang Chunliang thought for a moment. He seemed to have looked in the mirror and saw his former self, a poor licking dog.

Sympathy overflowed for a moment, he nodded, and then took the eldest lady to walk around for a while. When passing by the haunted house, Wang Chunliang found that the little hand he was holding trembled slightly.

He grinned and let out a "Jie Jie Jie" laugh. The eldest lady was so frightened that she closed her eyes tightly, forgot to breathe, and clenched her fists tightly with her two little hands.

On Halloween night, I took the eldest lady to visit the haunted house in the ghost street. It makes sense, right?
