Chapter 4 Planning and Tavern

Author: scallion flower roll

After exiting the alley, I took the trolley bus in BJ City and looked at the army of bicycles outside the window.

Li Ye also thought that he should buy a bicycle today, otherwise it would be too inconvenient to go out.

After waiting for the tram to wander to the department store, Li Ye went into the mall and bought a Phoenix bicycle. He installed an extra bicycle light on the license plate, bought a few Zhonghua and Maotai bicycles, and put them in the space when no one was paying attention.

Stepping onto a brand new bicycle, he shuttled gracefully through the streets of Sijiu City.

We walked around Tiananmen Square, went to Houhai, Panjiayuan and other places.

Experience the style of Forty-Nine City in the 1960s.

I wandered around until about five o'clock in the afternoon before riding to Qianmen Street.

After asking around, I found the entrance of a courtyard house.

Looking at the uncle who was walking outside the courtyard, Li Ye opened his mouth and asked: "Uncle, please ask, is Zhang Xiaohu at home?"

The uncle looked at Li Ye and said, "Their house is on the left side of the backyard. Go in and take a look yourself."

After bidding farewell to his uncle, Li Ye walked to the backyard. As soon as he entered the moon gate, he saw a young man wearing a sweater tinkering with coal.

Li Ye picked up the bicycle rack and said with a smile:

"Hey, boy, you're pretty hot."

The man looked up and saw that the person coming was Li Ye, and said in surprise: "Oh, company commander, why are you here?"

After saying that, he threw the broom away, walked over in three steps and two steps at a time, took Li Ye's arm and said, "Let's go, come into the house quickly."

When Li Ye entered the room, he was pulled by Zhang Xiaohu and sat on a chair. He was busy making tea and pouring water for Li Ye.

While busy, he said: "Company commander, are you coming back to visit relatives?"

Li Ye shook his head and said: "I changed my job and just came back yesterday. I came to see you today."

"Change your career?" Zhang Xiaohu was stunned when he heard Li Ye's words.

In his impression, his company commander Li Ye was a born soldier. Why did he suddenly change his profession?

"Don't worry about this. I'm here to see you for something."

"What's going on?" Seeing that Li Ye didn't want to talk more, Zhang Xiaohu didn't ask any more questions. He sat down with a tea cup and asked carelessly.

"I have a younger brother in my hometown village who is five years old this year. I want to apply for a household registration for him."

This is Li Ye's plan. Taking advantage of the current imperfect household registration system, Li Ye is going to leave a way out for himself. If someone suspects that he will not grow old in the future, Li Ye will come up with a new identity.

After hearing what Li Ye said, Zhang Xiaohu said carelessly: "Hey, what a big deal it is. I'll go back to my second uncle and take care of it for you."

Zhang Xiaohu's uncle is a cadre of the 49th City Police Station. Zhang Xiaohu's parents passed away early. He was raised by his second uncle when he was a child. His work was also arranged by his second uncle. The uncle, nephew, father and son

Same.

Hearing Zhang Xiaohu's promise, Li Ye took out a Chinese strip from his coat pocket and put 50 yuan on the table.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaohu hurriedly said: "Company Commander, what do you mean? Put it away quickly. If you hadn't carried me to the hospital at the border, would I still be sitting here talking to you?"

Li Ye didn't believe his rhetoric at all. This little tiger's performance in the army was actually very average, he was sneaky and sneaky, and he was too focused on profit.

It's just that he's not a bad person and he's smart enough to get things done, so Li Ye didn't cut off contact with him.

It is precisely because he is such a person that Li Ye dares to come to him for such a thing.

Li Ye shook his head and said: "This thing is not for you, but for your second uncle. How can you be empty-handed when asking for help? There is no rush in this matter. If you have confidence, just come to me."

When Zhang Xiaohu heard what Li Ye said, he didn't say anything more.

The two chatted for a while about matters in the army, and Li Ye explained the name of Zhang Xiaohu's new identity and where his hukou was.

Zhang Xiaohu made preparations to call Li Ye for dinner.

Li Ye said: "There is no need to eat. Let's have some drinks and chat."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xiaohu slapped his thigh and said, "I know a place where the wine tastes good. Their side dishes are also good, let's go there."

Li Ye nodded noncommittally, and the two of them got dressed and pushed their bicycles out together.

After walking not far, the two of them arrived at the entrance of a tavern called "Daqianmen Tavern".

After Li Ye followed Zhang Xiaohu in, he found that the tavern was not large, but there were a lot of people.

Seven or eight tables were full of people, and there were people standing and squatting drinking next to them.

Zhang Xiaohu's sharp eyes saw a table of guests about to leave, so he hurried over to occupy the place and waved to Li Ye.

After seeing Li Ye sit down, Zhang Xiaohu stood up again and said: "Company commander, you wait for me, I will get wine and side dishes."

Li Ye nodded noncommittally and looked at the counter in the direction Zhang Xiaohu was walking. He saw a pretty boss lady in her mid-twenties standing at the counter.

Li Ye suddenly felt a little strange. The owner of this tavern was actually a woman?

I couldn't help but take a second look.

I saw that the female shopkeeper was twenty-four or five years old, with beautiful appearance and plump figure. She was also a dignified and generous beauty.

On the other side, the female shopkeeper at the counter, Xu Huizhen, looked at the young regular customer in front of her and said with a sweet smile: "Brother Zhang, long time no see. What have you been busy with recently?"

"Hey, don't talk about it. I've been extremely busy with work lately. It just so happened that the company commander in my army came back from his job today, so I just came to have a drink."

Xu Huizhen was startled when she heard Zhang Xiaohu's words. Xu Huizhen noticed the young man who had just come with Zhang Xiaohu as soon as he entered the door.

After all, the other person is not only good-looking, but also tall. After entering the house and taking off his coat, you can feel how strong the other person is even wearing thick clothes.

The most important thing is that when she first saw her, she felt that Li Ye gave her a very special feeling.

It is difficult to meet such people in Sijiu City, at least Xu Huizhen has never met them.

"That man is your company commander in the army? So young? He doesn't look older than you. Whose son is he?"

When Xu Huizhen thought about it, if she could reach the rank of company commander in the army at such a young age, she must have a senior cadre at home.

"Can I still lie to you? He is 22 years old this year, and his family is just an ordinary person, but he is a legend in our army. I can tell you about him all day long."

Zhang Xiaohu complimented Li Ye and then continued: "I'll talk to you in detail some other time. Bring me a plate of peanuts, a plate of tripe, and a plate of cold dishes. Don't forget to put your kimchi on it. Serve it for me.

Two kilograms of wine worth 3…50 cents.”

Listen to Zhang Xiaohu tell you what he wants in one breath.

Xu Huizhen first became curious and wanted Brother Zhang to continue saying something, but she felt that now was not the time.

He had to joke: "Hey, Brother Zhang is bleeding heavily today. Can you two drink two kilograms?"

Unexpectedly, Zhang Xiaohu curled his lips and said, "I don't know if it's enough yet."

As he was about to take out the money, as soon as he touched his pocket, he saw a five yuan note placed on the table.

Zhang Xiaohu turned around and saw Li Ye standing behind him.

Suddenly he said anxiously: "Company Commander, you..."

Although he is usually stingy, Zhang Xiaohu is still willing to invite Li Ye for a drink. Firstly, Li Ye is indeed kind to him, and secondly, Zhang Xiaohu has a hint of admiration for Li Ye.

Regarding Li Ye's rush to pay, Zhang Xiaohu felt a little out of favor with him.

Li Ye ignored him and said to Shopkeeper Qiao: "Boss, I'll put the money with you first. Two pounds is really not enough. I'll give you back the extra and make up for the extra later. Could you please bring me the wine later?"

After saying that, he dragged Zhang Xiaohu away from the counter.

Xu Huizhen put away the money, and she could still hear the young man saying to Zhang Xiaohu: Don't fight for money with me here, come over and drink with me quickly.
