At the farmer's market on Jiuchang Street, in front of the manager's hut, Gao Qiqiang parked his small motorcycle and carefully carried the TV box down and placed it on the ground.
After everything was settled, Gao Qiqiang went up and knocked on the door.
"The door isn't locked." An impatient voice came from inside.
Gao Qiqiang didn't care. He put on a fawning smile, pushed open the door, and walked in.
There was no one else inside except Tang Xiaohu. He was lying on the coffee table, studying the lottery.
"Xiaohu, your brother isn't here?" Gao Qiqiang greeted him with a smile.
He called him Little Dragon and Little Tiger to show a sense of closeness. After all, they had grown up together.
Tang Xiaohu didn't think too much about it and said without raising his head,"He went out to drink with someone. Why are you looking for him?”
"Nothing much. I just thought that it's almost the New Year, so I came over to take a look. Why didn't you go with me?" Gao Qiqiang took off the motorcycle helmet on his head and placed it on the table.
"My stomach hasn't been feeling well for the past two days.”Tang Xiaohu raised his head and replied casually.
Gao Qiqiang went to Tang Xiaohu's side and squatted at the coffee table. He looked at the lottery ticket and said,"Is there really a winner in this thing?”
At the mention of this, Tang Xiaohu seemed to be interested and said excitedly,"Two days ago, I heard that the lottery shop in Lower Bay won a lot. Someone won more than 800,000 yuan!”
" More than 800,000!?" "Then you've really become rich overnight. What about you?" Gao Qiqiang said in surprise. What's your highest school?"
Tang Xiaohu was stunned when he heard that. His face twitched twice as he said,"Around two hundred…"
"Two hundred is not a small amount…" Gao Qiqiang comforted.
"It's alright, but I spent more than 300 yuan.”Tang Xiaohu said in a deep voice.
Gao Qiqiang choked and did not say anything for a long time. Tang Xiaohu continued to study his lottery ticket.
"Hey, that…" Gao Qiqiang was silent for a while before he suddenly said,"Xiaohu, this market is going to be disrupted and rearranged after the New Year... You also know that my fish stall is sealed by welding. It's not convenient to rebuild it. Help me talk to your brother and ask him to help me…"
"You have to help too, and he has to help too. My brother also listens to the arrangements of the higher-ups, so he can't say anything.”Tang Xiaohu said without hesitation.
"Aiya, our neighbors... We've grown up together for so many years. Please help me try…Oh right, I also bought some gifts for you guys. A television.”Gao Qiqiang quickly said.
Gao Qiqiang got up and opened the door. Three to five seconds later, he walked in with the TV and placed it on the ground. He said happily,"Didn't your brother say something about a television two days ago? I was thinking that I should give you two a gift for the new year. I just bought it. Look, it's not bad. It's a book…Do you still remember Li Shuwen? He recommended it to me. It's good stuff. It can't be wrong!”
Tang Xiaohu, who had been uninterested, suddenly became happy. He looked at Gao Qiqiang and said,"Not bad, Old Gao. You really know how to cause trouble.”
"We're all neighbors.”Gao Qiqiang smiled and waved his hand.
Looking at Tang Xiaohu's attitude, Gao Qiqiang felt that his guess was right. These two brothers probably didn't really want a plasma TV. They just wanted to fry the fish.
"I'll help you ask my brother about your matter.”Tang Xiaohu agreed.
"Sigh, thank you very much. I'll treat you to a drink some other day.”Gao Qiqiang immediately said happily.
He didn't stay for long. After saying a few beautiful words, Gao Qiqiang pushed open the door and left on his small motorcycle.
That afternoon, Tang Xiaohu went home with the television.
As soon as she opened the door, she heard someone busy working inside.
"Yes, yes, yes. Just put it there. It looks grand.”
At this moment, Tang Xiaolong was slightly tipsy and was instructing his two underlings to place a new television on the television cabinet.
Beside him, Zhang Dagen was laughing and saying something.
"Xiaolong, this is a good thing. You don't know, but it cost me more than 25,000 yuan. It's a plasma TV. Tsk tsk, it's pure imported high-tech. You can watch TV very clearly.”Zhang Dagen said exaggeratedly.
"Hehehe, it's the new year. I really have to thank you, Uncle Dagan, for adding something good to my house.”Tang Xiaolong said with a smile.
"It's what I should do. I've watched you guys grow up. We'll take care of each other in the future.”Zhang Dagen took out a cigarette and handed it to Tang Xiaolong.
"Take care of him, I will definitely take care of him!" Tang Xiaolong said without hesitation. Then, he turned around and looked at his younger brother who had just entered the door. He asked,"Xiaohu, what are you holding over there?”
Tang Xiaohu looked at the plasma TV and then at the big box he was holding. His face twitched slightly and he shook his head."It's nothing. It's just tattered…"
As he spoke, he didn't throw it away. Instead, he carried it and walked into the house.
Tang Xiaolong did not ask further. He turned around and said,"Uncle Dagan, I heard that you're planning to give your Dayan a fish stall or something?”
"Yeah, I have this idea. Look at Dayan, that child hasn't settled down yet, so I thought of finding him a job. At least he can take care of himself. You said..."
"Sure, I'll observe it for you later. Coincidentally, our market is going to rearrange the stalls this time. I think you're lucky this year. You look so happy. Maybe if you're lucky, you can directly choose Gao Qiqiang's fish stall.”Tang Xiaolong laughed and said.
"Can we save money on equipment?" Zhang Dagen asked in surprise.
One had to know that the entire set of equipment at the fish stall was not cheap. It was not bad. It cost at least ten to twenty thousand yuan.
If he could save this money, then the plasma TV and whatnot would not have been bought in vain!
"We're all neighbors. If you really won the fish stall, I don't believe that Gao Qiqiang would have the cheek to ask you for money for the equipment. Anyway, he can't take it away. It's all sealed. If he doesn't agree, you can delay him for a few days. I'll help you a little. It'll definitely work.”Tang Xiaolong sneered.
Zhang Dagan did not intend to care about Gao Qiqiang's life and death. When he heard that there was such a good thing, how could he refuse? He immediately clapped his hands and cheered.
"Thank you, Xiaolong. I still have two barrels of oil at home. I'll send them to you tomorrow.”Zhang Dagen said.
After chatting for a while, Zhang Dagen left Tang Xiaolong's house.
Tang Xiaolong quickly turned on the high-end plasma TV and called his underlings to watch it.
Tang Xiaohu had just come out of the door when Tang Xiaolong smiled and said,"How is it? Is your brother powerful? Come, count it. This thing says that it can see even a strand of hair clearly..."
"I can't figure it out even if I see it clearly, brother.”Tang Xiaohu said with a smile.
As for the television that Gao Qiqiang had given him, he had just left it in the house to eat the dust. He did not even mention it. As for the matter that Gao Qiqiang had asked him to do, there was no need to mention it.
At this moment, Tang Xiaohu was also surprised. There was really someone who could spend more than 20,000 yuan to give them a plasma TV?
"Brother, this Zhang Dagan…He's really willing!" Tang Xiaohu sighed.
Tang Xiaolong lit a cigarette and exhaled a mouthful of smoke. Then, he said,"That fellow, Zhang Dayan, is Zhang Dagen's flesh and blood. He only has one son…It's only right to spend some money."
Without waiting for Tang Xiaohu to speak again, Tang Xiaolong flicked the ashes and said,"Oh right, it's New Year's Eve in two days. There's no one else at home. How about this? Call your brothers over and play mahjong at our house. It'll be lively and get rid of bad luck.”
"Alright, brother, I got it." Tang Xiaohu replied.
On the other side, Gao Qiqiang had finished his work and returned to the courtyard. He parked his small motorcycle and locked it, preparing to go home to get some food to deal with it.
Coincidentally, he saw Zhang Dagan coming down from upstairs.
"Uncle Dagan, I wish you a happy new year!”Gao Qiqiang smiled and cupped his hands.
Zhang Dagan looked at Gao Qiqiang with a slightly abnormal expression. He forced a smile and said,""Ah Qiang, it's already so late.”
"The market will be closed in two days.”Gao Qiqiang said casually.
After a few words, the two of them moved away. However, after Gao Qiqiang took two steps, he suddenly thought of something and turned his head to ask,"Uncle Dagan, I heard that you want to set up a fish stall in the market? I'm familiar with this area. If there's anything you need help with, just let me know!”
"Hey, hey, I got it. Thank you, Qiang.”Zhang Dagen nodded with a strange expression and left quickly.
Gao Qiqiang looked at his back and felt that something was wrong.
"Uncle Dagan's house isn't in this courtyard either…Why are you here?" Gao Qiqiang muttered and then looked at the end of the corridor. It was in the direction of Tang Xiaolong's house.
"It shouldn't be, right? I gave you a television." Gao Qiqiang consoled himself and did not think too much about it. He turned around and went upstairs again.
