evil sea tide

Chapter 30

As if struck by lightning, Chao Sheng woke up suddenly. He jumped up from the bed, looked at himself in a panic, and after going through it from head to toe, he found that there was no trace left by anyone on his body, so he felt relieved. It's not quite accurate to say that, at least the faint smell of smoke lingering around him is definitely not his own.

—Probably got it on while drinking.

Thinking so, Chao Sheng got out of bed and went to the bathroom.Ten minutes later, he came out fully dressed. Although his face was still tired, he looked much better than before.

Walking out of Hai Donglin's bedroom, he smelled a smell of food. He followed the smell to the dining room connected to the kitchen, and found that there were porridge and steamed buns in an insulated box, and two plates of pickles. A note.

"When you get up, heat up your breakfast. I won't come back tonight. You can do whatever you want."

It was hard for Chao Sheng to imagine that a person like Hai Donglin would have such a considerate and considerate side, which almost made him feel a little flattered.He couldn't remember what happened last night, but he felt that the depression that was stuck in his heart like a big stone had gone a lot. At least now that he thought of the scene at Ren Jiawen's house, he wouldn't feel so badly.

Hai Donglin is sometimes indifferent and sometimes frivolous, but most of the time he has an unfathomable appearance, which makes Chao Sheng still unable to understand this person's temperament.But over time, I discovered that he can make people feel at ease in many cases, just like an old friend who has been with him for many years, he can be understood by him without words.

For Chaosheng, this kind of feeling is strange, closer than ordinary friends, and far from the feeling of buddies. In his 27 years of life, no one has ever interacted with him in this way .But this is not difficult to accept. In fact, after realizing Hai Donglin's respect for him, he has already classified him as "harmless".

This was the last meeting with Hai Donglin in 2010. Alcohol destroyed all his memories of that night, but something was quietly planted in his heart, taking root and sprouting when he was completely unaware.

On that day, Chao Sheng returned to his home, and it would be New Year’s Eve in two days. He had to prepare a New Year’s Eve dinner for the whole family on this day, and Hai Donglin also had his own affairs to be busy, so he was granted a leave of absence for the New Year’s Eve. Then go to work with him.

Jiang Wantong was on vacation at about the same time as him, but she never went home. The environment at home was not quiet enough, and the guests coming and going made it very noisy. It was not a place where she could study quietly, so she stayed in the school dormitory until the New Year's Eve Just got home for a few days.

As soon as Jiang Wantong entered the house, Chao Sheng heard a particularly loud voice coming from outside the door——

"Chao Sheng! Chao Sheng!"

The glass windows with such a loud voice will be shattered. There is only one such loud and lethal voice on their street.

"Jia Yanke! Yanzi!"

Chao Sheng ran out happily, and at a glance he saw Jia Yanke, who was about the same size as him, standing at the door and smiling at him.

"When did you come back?"

"Didn't you ask my grandpa to tell me that I will go to you first as soon as I get home? I just put down my bag and came here, buddy, isn't that interesting?" After finishing speaking, he winked at him.

Chao Sheng doesn't like this: "What are you talking about, your kid has been out for several years, and you don't have many phone calls at ordinary times. If you don't come back again, I will suspect that you were captured by some female bandit and become your husband in the village."

Jia Yanke rolled his eyes, as if he was drawing the image of a female bandit with big breasts and fat buttocks in his mind, then lightly hit Chao Sheng's chest with his fist and said, "Where is the female bandit, the female goblin? I ran into several of them. Let’s not talk about this, if you are free, go out and have a drink or two.”

Chao Sheng pushed back with his hand and said: "The small restaurant at the street corner is still open, and this will be his home. Don't you like their boiled beef the most?"

"You stingy star, I finally got back, so why don't you treat me to that?"

Chao Sheng hooked his shoulders and pulled him out, not feeling anything wrong at all. After laughing for a while, the two brothers walked shoulder to shoulder, but Jia Yanke kept looking behind him. , seems to be looking for someone.

Chao Sheng patted him on the head and said: "Don't look, Tongtong has already entered the house, and she is probably packing up. You need to find her to wait for the night."

These words made Jia Yanke's old face blush, and his black skin became even darker and shiny.He has liked Jiang Wantong for several years, so naturally he couldn't escape her brother's eyes.However, when he went out to run business, Tongtong was still young, but now that he is older, the two of them are more divided. After all, they are not on the same road, so they have not dared to express their feelings to Tongtong until now.

Chao Sheng recognized Jia Yanke as his brother-in-law in his heart, so he once revealed it to his sister, but Jiang Wantong devoted himself to his studies and expressed that he did not want to fall in love for the time being. He told Jia Yanke exactly what he said, so that The other party was very sad.

The two sat in a corner of the small restaurant. It will be the New Year in two days, but the business of this store is getting better and better, probably because other stores are closed.The two ordered a few side dishes, ordered some beer and poured them on each other, and then they clinked a full glass.

"Drink slowly, with your drinking capacity, I won't have to carry you back later."

Chao Sheng threw a peanut into his mouth, and said nonchalantly: "After so many years of friendship, you still refuse to carry 20 meters? You still want to chase my sister like this?"

"Don't keep blocking me with this matter, let me tell you, you are definitely the uncle!"

Chao Sheng laughed. Jia Yanke looks very energetic, but he is darker. He usually uses "black handsome black handsome" to describe him, but he still likes to drive white cars, so he once teased him as a The African version of Prince Charming.

"Hey, to be honest, Tongtong will go abroad in the second half of the year, what should you do?"

He had told Jia Yanke the news half a year ago, and now he wants to know what he thinks.

Jia Yanke's hand, which was about to pick up the beef, stopped in the air for two seconds, then picked up the piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth, as if casually said: "What can we do, wait, isn't it just two years?"

"Are you not afraid that she will find a partner in the United States?"

"What are you afraid of? If she has someone else, it means that I have no fate with her. If I admit it, I will wish her happiness. If not, then we are destined to be a couple. When the time comes, prepare your dowry and obediently send the girl over. , Do you understand?" As he spoke, he made a gesture of carrying his wife on his back.

Chao Sheng was amused, raised his glass and touched him again, "Okay, with your words, I'll help you watch Tongtong, and keep those ghosts and snakes from approaching her!" Especially that little Huang hair!

Jia Yanke liked to bully Tongtong since he was a child. For this reason, he often fought with Chaosheng. Later, when he grew up, he changed from a little villain who bullied Tongtong to a flower protector. Who dares to touch Jiang Wantong? Just beat the man to find his teeth all over the place.Chao Sheng didn't think about that at the beginning, it was just because they were like buddies, so Jia Yanke also regarded Tongtong as his own sister.And at that time, Tongtong was still in high school, and Jia Yanke had already started to mix in the society. He was always in a hurry, and it took a long time to see him once.

It was not until the day before going to another place that Jia Yanke told him the truth, which shocked Chao Sheng.However, although Jia Yanke sometimes looks unreliable and hasn't read much, he is very righteous and has a sense of proportion in his actions, and judging from his feelings for Tongtong for so many years, he should be an extremely dedicated person.Chao Sheng had already acquiesced to this brother-in-law in his heart.

The topic stopped there, and then the two chatted about other things. Jia Yanke planned not to leave this time when he returned to the emperor. After so many years, he also saved some money and planned to make a living in his hometown. His grandfather was getting old. I always miss my grandson, and my parents also hope that he will stay by his side and marry a wife to settle down.

"I plan to engage in catering. I met a boss a few years ago, who taught me a lot about it. I feel that I can make money, but I have to find something unusual and gimmick."

Chao Sheng didn't expect him to have such an idea, he was really surprised, "Catering? Aren't you inexperienced?"

"I didn't have any experience before I went out to do business. What are you afraid of? Don't you cook delicious food? Give me some advice."

Chao Sheng thought about it, he had no idea about this, and he didn't go to restaurants much, the most impressive thing was the private restaurant that Hai Donglin took him to.

He shook his head and said: "I really don't understand this. I'm afraid I'll mislead you. You'd better ask someone who knows the knowledge, or go to other restaurants. Opening a restaurant is a big deal, and you will do it after you come back." The first project, think more about it."

Jia Yanke nodded, and suddenly remembered something, "I remember that the soup you made before was very delicious. I have traveled so many places and have never tasted that taste. What kind of soup is that?"

"It's made with Chinese medicinal materials, and it's my own recipe, so the taste is quite special. We call this medicated diet."

"Medicine...Medicine..." Jia Yanke muttered these two words, frowning and thinking about something, then he slapped the table and stood up and shouted, "Okay, that's it!"

His voice was already loud, and he couldn't control it when he got excited. This voice attracted the attention of everyone in the small restaurant.

"Keep your voice down..." Chao Sheng looked around, abruptly accepted those surprised looks, and then pressed Jia Yanke to let him sit down.

"Really, I think this is good! Don't you all pay attention to health preservation now? The ones you make are delicious and nourishing, and they are definitely a hit!"

This is indeed a good choice. Now that the catering industry is developed, restaurants with flavors from all over the world are dotted in every street. It really won't last long if there is nothing special about it.But Chao Sheng really doesn't know much about the catering industry, so he doesn't dare to make a big hole, good buddy.

"You have to think about it carefully. Although I can do it, I don't know the market. But if you really decide to do this, I will help you study the recipes. I may not be as good as those chefs in cooking, but I should be able to do it in terms of medical science." Help."

"Okay!" Jia Yanke patted Chao Sheng angrily, so hard that Chao Sheng almost fell on the table.

"Why don't we just do it like this, let's do it together, you invest in technology stocks, I pay for it, and do his big ones! Hahaha!"

"You're robbing a bank..."

Chao Sheng picked up the cup and touched his, smiling heartily, when he was with his buddies, time always passed very easily and quickly.

-

After coming out of the restaurant and walking to the door of Jia Yanke’s house, the two said goodbye. Chao Sheng was walking home alone. Not far away was the shop of Jiang’s Traditional Chinese Medicine Tuina. The lights are out.

He thought carefully about Jia Yanke's proposal, and the more he thought about it, the more he felt that this path was feasible.But if he really wants to do it, he can't be like Jia Yanke said, licking his face and taking a technical stock for nothing, but if he wants to pay...

He originally saved that money for his marriage plan. Although it is still far away from buying a house, it can at least shorten his struggle time. If he invests this money, if he loses money, then he and Ren Jiawen ...

Thinking of the contempt and contempt in the eyes of Ren Jiawen's parents, Chao Sheng's heart began to feel uncomfortable again.

When he got home, the lights in his parents' room were still on, but Jiang Wantong's room was dark.He found it strange that his younger sister usually didn't go to bed so early, and he could have gone to chat with her anyway, so he would tell her about Jia Yanke by the way.

Maybe he was tired after returning home - Chao Sheng thought so, and then went back to his room.

He changed into his pajamas and went to the bathroom to brush his teeth and wash his face, then sat on the bed, picked up the "Encyclopedia of Ancient Folk Prescriptions", and was about to read it before going to bed, when his mobile phone suddenly came up.

Who's going to call him at this hour?Chao Sheng got out of bed in doubt and picked up the mobile phone in his pocket to look at it. There were three large characters in the column of the caller: Boss Hai.
