Chapter 46
It is said that when you go out, don’t talk to strangers casually and don’t eat strangers’ food casually.
Wei Ge, on the other hand, went home directly with the stranger.
The main reason was that the driver was too enthusiastic and didn't look like a bad person at all. He even took the initiative to ask Wei Ge to record a short video, and revealed his name and ID number to the camera, saying that Wei Ge had been taken away by him and that he should be contacted if there were any problems.
I forced Wei Ge to send it to his parents so that both Wei Ge and his parents would feel at ease.
It was probably because Wei Ge looked too young, a bit like a minor, and the eldest brother was afraid that he had accidentally committed some kind of crime of abducting a minor.
Wei Ge didn't dare to send it to Xing Zhao or Wei Mingzhe, so he could only send the video to Lao Qin.
He also reminded Lao Qin not to tell anyone about this video.
After all, making meat dumplings for Xing Zhao was a surprise.
The first thing that Lao Qin thought of after receiving the video was that he should send a bodyguard to the young master. If anything really happened, his life would be in vain.
I just wanted to make the gentleman laugh, but I didn't expect that the young master's personal safety and my own career would be imperfectly planned one day.
In the end, it was Wei Ge who comforted him, saying that it was okay, he would definitely come back safely, and would report to Lao Qin in real time if anything happened.
Don't worry, it is a blessing for every housekeeper to have a sensible young master who reports to the police obediently.
I thought the eldest brother would take Wei Ge home, but I never expected that the driver took Wei Ge into a guesthouse. It was a very old-fashioned one with a sign at the door. When you opened the door, there was a wooden reception desk.
The lady boss at the door smiled at the eldest brother and said, "Brother Zhang, your car is back. I cooked noodles for you, would you like some?"
"Have two bowls. I've brought you another business." Zhang Xing put his arm around Wei Ge's shoulders. "Are there any rooms available? Ideally, one next to mine."
The proprietress looked at Wei Ge and said, "This is your relative. The child is quite good-looking. He has grown up now."
"I'm an adult now." Wei Ge took out his ID card and handed it to the proprietress. "Thank you for the trouble."
"It's not a bother, it's very polite." The lady boss smiled. "There's a king-size room next to your uncle Zhang. Can I give it to you?"
Wei Ge turned his head and glanced at Zhang Xing, "Okay."
Zhang Xing raised his hand and lifted the strap of Wei Ge's backpack. Wei Ge felt a lot more relaxed. Zhang Xing didn't let go until the proprietress handed the key to Wei Ge.
"Uncle, I can carry it myself. It's not heavy." Wei Ge said. Zhang Xing was too enthusiastic, which made him feel a little embarrassed for some reason.
"How can it not be heavy? Your shoulders are collapsed. Young man is in the stage of growing up. I will carry it for you." Zhang Xing forcibly lifted Wei Ge's bag, and the two climbed the stairs to the third floor.
This guesthouse doesn't even have a hotel room card, let alone an elevator.
However, this place doesn't look big, and there are more than a dozen rooms on the third floor. I didn't expect that the entire building belongs to the boss's wife.
Wei Ge took the key and opened the door. It was a room that was neither too big nor too small. In addition to the bed, there was also space for a long table less than one meter long. There was no bathroom.
"The restroom is at the end of the corridor. If you feel unsafe showering, I'll stand guard at the door for you."
Wei Ge blushed and nodded. He met a good person. It was the first time he saw a big brother who was so enthusiastic towards strangers.
"Aren't you a local? Why are you staying in a guesthouse?"
Wei Ge and his elder brother sat in a small dining room eating noodles cooked by the proprietress. This city seemed to be by the sea, and there were a lot of seafood in the noodles. It should not be cheap in Lu Shui, but just now I saw Zhang Xing paying, and it seemed to be only thirty yuan.
"I drive a sports car, take the airport shuttle, and travel back and forth." Zhang Xing rolled up his sleeves and took a mouthful of noodles. The rich, fresh aroma filled his nostrils. The proprietress always used high-quality ingredients. She was conscientious. "This is my resting place. Wherever I go on a night bus, I stay in the guesthouse there."
"I'm from the north and came to the south to work. Where are you from?"
"I'm from Lushui. I go to college in Lushui."
"Lushui?" Zhang Xing narrowed his eyes and smiled innocently. "My son also goes to college in Lushui, but I forgot the name of his school."
He is a remarkable person who can forget the name of his own son's school.
"Hey, which university are you from? Let me ask the kid's mother." Zhang Xing took out his cell phone and sent a message to his wife.
"Deer Academy of Fine Arts."
"That sounds familiar." Zhang Xing smiled innocently, slapped his thigh when he saw his wife's reply on the phone, and handed the screen to Wei Ge. "Isn't this a coincidence? My son goes to the same school as you."
No matter how far away you are from, you can still meet people from the same place in such a faraway city. The fate between people is so wonderful sometimes.
Maybe it was because of this incident, but Zhang Xing felt a little nervous. "Kid, you and our family are destined to be together. I'll treat you to a drink tonight."
When Zhang Xing said this, he looked like a drunkard. Wei Ge was inexplicably shocked and felt that this big brother would not return to the room until he knocked him down tonight.
Wei Ge was about to reach out to stop him when Zhang Xing's shouting resounded throughout the room.
"Boss lady, come and talk about the big kiln!"
Big kiln?
Wait, the drink tonight is carbonated beverage?
I have never encountered anything like this in my life, and it is not quite the same as what is shown on TV. In Wei Ge's eyes, there is now a clear sense of stupidity in the eldest brother's eyes.
"My son loves to drink this, a carbonated drink. When he was little, he would get angry with me if I didn't let him drink it." Zhang Xing smiled and opened the drink with a bottle opener. The sound of bubbles inside rang out in an instant, lingering densely in Wei Ge's ears.
"Original." Zhang Xing handed the opened bottle to Wei Ge, then turned around and opened a new one. "Orange."
After saying that, Zhang Xing went to get a new flavor, "Brother, no need...it's already opened and the gas will leak out."
Carbonated drinks become sweet water, which is so greasy.
"Okay, let's drink first." Zhang Xing turned around again and said, "Boss lady, please buy me some skewers."
"Okay." The proprietress's voice came from outside the door. Wei Ge waved his hand. He had actually eaten quite a bit of noodles just now, and it was Zhang Xing who paid for the noodles.
"Uncle, no need to bother."
"Why is it not a trouble? We are brothers now that we have met. It would be nice to eat and drink together." Zhang Xing took a sip of soda and spoke nonsense. If he didn't know, you would have thought that this big brother was drunk.
He is on good terms with Wei Ge, who is less than 20 years old, and is against Tian Gang.
"How is your school? Is the living environment good?" Zhang Xing looked up and asked Wei Ge.
"It's pretty good, but I don't live in the dormitory. I have relatives in Lushui, so I don't know much about the dormitory environment." Wei Ge answered honestly, "The teachers and classmates at the school are all easy to get along with."
"That's good." Zhang Xing nodded. "I've never asked my son about these things. I left home to work soon after he was born. I can only go back once during the Chinese New Year, and I can't stay for more than a few days."
Wei Ge looked up at Zhang Xing. He didn't understand what such family life was like. He had lived with Wei Mingzhe and Jiang Lin since he was a child. Their school and home were very close, and sometimes he would even go home for a nap at noon.
Before going to college, he had never been away from his parents for so long.
And this long journey was actually the farthest he had ever traveled alone.
Wei Ge was also a little panicked. After all, he was always worried about things he had never done before. However, he had grown up and was still a man. It was time for him to train himself.
He didn't know why he ran so far away in a fit of rage. He just felt that Xing Zhao was so good to him that he should repay him with the same feelings.
This is how his payback began.
"Uncle, why don't you find a job near home? Your child would probably want you to be with him, right?" Wei Ge hesitated for a moment before asking. He felt that Zhang Xing was a straightforward person and would not mind his frankness.
"The salary there is too low. My wife has a congenital heart disease and can't work, and we have little education. If I work there, my children probably won't even be able to afford school." Zhang Xing took a sip of soda, drinking it as if there was a glass of strong liquor in front of him.
"He studied art and was very expensive when he was young." Zhang Xing scratched his head. "But actually, these are all my excuses. My son is very hardworking. He has always been the top student in the school. After entering university, he brought home a scholarship every year."
"I'm embarrassed to see him." Zhang Xing looked up at Wei Ge. "I wasn't involved in his childhood. I left when he was young. Now he's grown up, and we don't have much in common. I don't know how to communicate with him. I guess not going back is a way for me to avoid him."
Zhang Xing pursed his lips. The proprietress brought the barbecue plate over and said with a smile, "Here it is. Eat slowly."
"Thank you." Wei Ge smiled at the proprietress, and the proprietress also smiled.
"This kid is really cute. Brother Zhang, for the sake of this handsome boy, I'll give you this drink."
Zhang Xing handed the skewers in front of him to Wei Ge. Wei Ge took a bite and found that they were not as good as what they had.
Zhang Xing seemed to notice the subtlety in Wei Ge's expression and lowered his voice, "It's okay. They don't produce this here, but you have to eat something salty when drinking."
"It's pretty good." Wei Ge looked up at Zhang Xing and took two bites of beef.
"I won't be driving tomorrow. I'll just rest. If you want to go somewhere, I can accompany you. I'm familiar with this place."
Wei Ge and Zhang Xing ate until almost twelve o'clock, then they lined up to take a shower and go to bed.
Even though he slept late the night before, Wei Ge still woke up at 6 or 7. The room was small but clean, and the bed was neatly made, but the curtains didn't block out the light.
When the sun rose and shone in, Wei Ge opened his eyes in a daze. He slept intermittently for a while but couldn't fall asleep again.
He didn't come all this way to sleep, so he stretched and got up. When he opened the door, Zhang Xing next door also opened the door.
"Up so early? Is the bed uncomfortable?"
"That's good. You're here so early."
"Oh, I'm used to it. Normally, when I'm driving, I have to get up at three or four in the morning. Today, I'm always up late." Zhang Xing locked the door. "You said yesterday you wanted to learn how to make meat dumplings. I know a local friend who's going to take us today."
The person Zhang Xing was looking for was a local man in his sixties, who was said to have been picked up on the bus before. He was a chatterbox and greeted Zhang Xing as soon as he saw him. The two became brothers as they chatted.
The word "brother" is a bit strange. Zhang Xing, who is in his forties, calls Wei Ge brother, and the old man in his sixties calls Zhang Xing brother.
To round it off, Wei Ge now has a brother who is over 60 years old, so Uncle Xing is no longer Uncle Xing, but Brother Xing.
