As soon as he entered the restaurant, a slightly plump middle-aged woman in her fifties hurried over and greeted Han Cheng,""Little Cheng, you're here. Come in and sit down!”The middle-aged woman was particularly enthusiastic. " Auntie!" Han Cheng greeted the middle-aged woman warmly. He casually pulled Zhao Jun over and sat down at a table by the side. The middle-aged woman smiled and shouted,""Yaling, Han Cheng is here. Come out quickly!”Soon, a twenty-three or twenty-four-year-old young woman with thin eyebrows and long eyes, a ruddy complexion, and a ponytail walked out of the kitchen quickly. She walked directly to Han Cheng." It's time to close the stall. Why are you closing so early today?!"”"The fish is selling fast today!" Han Cheng smiled and agreed. He pointed at Zhao Jun and said,"Yaling, this is Xiao Jun, Zhao Jun. Xiao Jun, quickly greet Sister Yaling!" " Sister Yaling!" Zhao Jun quickly stood up and called out. "Hurry up and sit down. There's no need to be so polite!”Yaling smiled at Zhao Jun, unbuttoned Han Cheng's coat, and took it off.""Look at your clothes. They smell fishy. Next time you enter the house, take off your clothes and put them outside!”Han Cheng listened to Yaling's commands with a blissful expression.
Zhao Jun looked at Han Cheng from head to toe, then looked at Yaling. With a mischievous smile, he approached Han Cheng and asked,""Brother, are you dating Sister Yaling?”" I'm already engaged. I'll be getting married soon." Han Cheng looked at Yaling with a smile. Yaling's face turned slightly red as she glared at Han Cheng in embarrassment.""What do you want to eat? And you little brat, what do you want to eat?”Yaling's tone and expression carried the unique shrewdness of a woman from the east of the country. Zhao Jun rubbed his head with a mischievous smile and whispered,""I'll eat whatever Brother Cheng eats!”"What are you laughing at!" Yaling smiled and pointed at Zhao Jun before turning around and walking into the kitchen. Han Cheng whispered into Zhao Jun's ear,""Xiao Jun, what do you think of Sister Yaling?”Zhao Jun mischievously winked at Han Cheng.""Sure, definitely!"
Just as Xu-er walked to the newly bought jeep, Cai Hua and Xu-san followed from behind. Cai Hua quickly walked up to Xu-er.""Second brother, where are you going?”" I'm going to Jiangnan to do something," Xu-er agreed and reached out to open the jeep door. "Second Brother, I think you should go to Jiangnan less during this period!" Cai Hua pulled Xu-er back. We just finished messing with Zhao Jun, so Old Fifth Yuan and Zhao Jun must be thinking about us. If we don't cross the river, they won't easily cross the river to find us. But once we cross the river, it's hard to say!”"You mean I can't go to Jiangnan?”Xu-er looked at Cai Hua unhappily. "Second Brother, Brother Hua is right. We have to be more careful. Once Old Fifth Yuan and Zhao Jun know who has crossed the river, they will definitely gather people to take revenge. I think we should stop for a while and wait for the anger in our hearts to subside!”Xu San also helped Cai Hua persuade Xu Er. "So you mean we can't cross the river?”Xu Er looked at Xu San and Cai Hua with a puzzled expression. "It's not that we can't cross the river, but we have to be careful. It's best to send a few more people when we cross the river and come back as soon as possible after we're done. How about this, I'll go with you and call Bozi along!”Cai Hua suggested. Xu-er lowered his head and didn't say anything.
Jiang City was located at the intersection of the two rivers. There were many lakes in the territory and most of them produced fish. This naturally led to the prosperity of the fish market in Jiang City. In the 1990s, due to traffic restrictions, many foreign fishmongers would choose to buy fresh fish from the fish market in Jiang City for sale. This also laid a good external foundation for the prosperity of the fish market in Jiang City.
Normally, the fish market would open at three or four in the morning. The fish market was at its busiest at four or five o'clock in the morning. Just after four o'clock, Zhao Jun, Yuan Laowu, Wang Erlin, Xia Qing, Li Changfa, and Han Suozi Xiaolong appeared at the fish market. The fish market had just opened. More than a hundred motorcycles, motor tricycles, and small transport vehicles were crowded on both sides of the three small asphalt roads in the middle of the market. Fishmongers of both genders were busy and loudly trying to attract business. The air was filled with a thick fishy smell, and the sound of peddlers formed a lively scene unique to the fish market. Zhao Jun called Xiaolong over and whispered a few words into his ear.
Beside a tricycle in the middle of the market, Cheng Lin and Cheng Sen were discussing the price with the owner. Yuan Fei was a chubby boy who was about 14 or 15 years old. He was wearing a shirt that didn't fit him well. He stood beside the two of them. Old Fifth Yuan, Zhao Jun, and the others walked up to the two of them silently. Old Fifth Yuan winked at them and grabbed Cheng Lin's collar from the side.""You're Cheng Lin. Do you know me?”Stunned, Cheng Lin stammered,""I, I know you. Fifth Brother, why are you here?”Old Fifth Yuan tilted his head and snorted at Cheng Lin.""It's good that you know him!" Before he could finish his sentence, he suddenly bent down and swung his arm forward, hitting Cheng Lin's face. " Aiya!" Cheng Lin screamed and fell to the ground with his hands covering his face. Blood flowed out from the gaps between his fingers. Seeing that his brother had been beaten up, Cheng Sen was about to make a move when Zhao Jun, who was standing beside him, kicked him in the stomach. Cheng Sen bent over in pain. Han Suozi, who was on the other side, punched him several times and knocked him to the ground. Then, a few people rushed up and kicked the Cheng brothers who had fallen to the ground. When they saw that a fight had broken out, the people in the market crowded around to see what was going on. Little Yuan Fei stared blankly at the Cheng Brothers being beaten up. His eyes were filled with fear and disappointment. Yuan Fei probably realized that his livelihood was over. He lowered his head silently, turned around, and walked out of the market. Xiaolong quickly walked a few steps forward and caught up with Yuan Fei. He hugged his shoulder. Yuan Fei looked at the little dragon in horror and instinctively took a step back. Xiaolong knew that Yuan Fei was afraid. He quickly put on a smile and said softly,"Don't be afraid. We won't hit you. Don't go yet. Someone will look for you later!”Yuan Fei seemed to sense that the little dragon did not have any ill intentions and was not struggling, but he did not say anything.
A male fishmonger, who was standing in the crowd to watch the show, reached out and pulled another fishmonger in a coat beside him."Hey, do you think Old Fifth Yuan and Zhao Jun need so many people to deal with Old Cheng's two bastards? One or two would solve it!”The fishmonger in the coat looked at Old Fifth Yuan, Zhao Jun, and the others with a complicated expression. He whispered into his companion's ear,"This isn't about beating people up. This is about setting up a scene for us to see! Just wait and see, who knows who will be in charge of this fish market in the future!”
After a while, Cheng Lin covered his face and struggled to get up from the ground. He looked up at Old Fifth Yuan and said,""Fifth Brother, there has never been any conflict between us. What do you mean by this today? Can't you let your brother die with an explanation!”Old Fifth Yuan smiled coldly and slapped Cheng Lin.""You still dare to ask me what I mean! You smashed my relative's motorcycle. What do you think we should do?”Cheng Lin took a step back.""Fifth Brother, Fifth Brother, if there's anything, let's talk!”Wang Erlin followed up and punched Cheng Lin's face a few times.""What do you want to say? There's nothing to say. Get out of the fish market immediately. Don't ever come to the fish market again, do you understand?”Cheng Lin looked at Old Fifth Yuan in surprise."" Fifth Brother, this is…" Old Fifth Yuan waved his hand,""Cut the crap. Don't come to the fish market again, you hear me? If you dare to come again, don't say that we won't be polite to you. Get lost!”Cheng Lin knew that it was useless to say anything else, so he pulled Cheng Sen, who was lying on the ground, away.
At the corner of the market, Cheng Sen pulled Cheng Lin.""Brother, what do Old Fifth Yuan and the others mean?”Cheng Lin wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth.""What's the point? We're just fighting for territory!”"Then what should we do?" Cheng Sen hurriedly asked. Cheng Lin's mouth twitched and he smiled bitterly.""What else can we do? These are the big donkeys (hooligans) of Jiangnan. We can't mess with them. If we were the ones who smashed their cars first, we would be in trouble. Besides, if we really want to be officials, will these kids let us off? Admit it!" Cheng Sen looked at his brother blankly."Brother, will we still come to the fish market in the future?”Cheng Lin lowered his head and thought for a while."It's fine. They're just skinning the fish. We'll do our old job and carry the fish." Otherwise, we won't be able to suppress these people. If we don't want to do it, then so be it. Let's go to the hospital first. My tooth seems to be moving!”
After watching the Cheng brothers walk away, Wang Erlin put his arm around Zhao Jun's shoulder and brought him to the side. He said in a low voice,"Brother, if you want to earn money, you can't just rely on fighting. You have to use your brain. In the future, this fish market will be yours. You must learn to protect these people who do business. Help anyone who has something to do. Don't be too evil. Those thieves and whatnot, clean them all up for him! Do you remember?" " I'll remember. Thank you, Second Brother!" Wang Erlin's words made Zhao Jun feel warm and comfortable.
After sending off Old Fifth Yuan, Wang Erlin, and the others, Zhao Jun turned around and returned to Yuan Fei, who was still standing with Xiaolong. Yuan Fei was wearing an oversized blue shirt. The hem of the shirt almost reached his knees. Her clothes were dirty and her face looked like it had not been washed for a long time. The original color of the pair of sneakers on her feet could no longer be seen.
Zhao Jun pulled Yuan Fei to the front and hugged his shoulders."Xiao Fei, can you follow Brother Jun from now on?”Yuan Fei looked at Zhao Jun timidly without saying anything. Xiaolong patted Yuan Fei." What are you thinking about? Call Brother Jun. Don't you want to follow Brother Jun?"”" No..." Yuan Fei looked up at Zhao Jun and lowered his head again. Zhao Jun smiled as he pulled Yuan Fei's hand." Let's go. Brother Jun will clean you up first. I'll get you a new set of clothes."
After taking a shower and changing his clothes, Yuan Fei seemed to have changed into a completely different person. He had become a very likable big boy. Yuan Fei was also very happy. He surrounded Zhao Jun and called him Brother Jun very affectionately. Zhao Jun took Yuan Fei's clothes and looked at them before throwing them into the trash by the roadside. Yuan Fei quickly ran over to pick it up.""Brother Jun, you can't throw this away. It'll be good to wear at the fish market tomorrow. Otherwise, this dress will be finished!”Yuan Fei pointed at his new clothes. Zhao Jun pulled Yuan Fei to the front and gently patted his head.""I don't want this. Brother Jun will buy me a set of clothes for the fish market later!”" Okay," Yuan Fei agreed and stuck his face on Zhao Jun's body like a child.
The fish market in the morning was still chaotic and lively. Zhao Jun stood at the entrance of the fish market with Xiaolong and Yuan Fei, quietly looking at the place he had just snatched, thinking about where to start!
