Chapter 35: Qin Opera
Go to the jazz bar first. Ma Liu no longer has the usual humble smile. When Sister Li saw him, she came forward to say hello intimately, and smiled and said, "Xiao Liu, we sisters are going to Shiqi Hutong for barbecue tonight. How about it, I'm so good!"
Ma Liu smiled slightly and said, "No need, my brother is not at home today and he doesn't set up a stall."
"What? Don't set up a stall?" Sister Li pouted in disappointment, "But I've discussed it with them."
"Then let's go another day!" Ma Liu said lightly, preparing to turn around, but was stopped by Sister Li.
Sister Li looked at Ma Liu with some confusion and said, "Xiao Liu, are you worried?"
"No." Ma Liu still had a faint expression.
"But you are so strange today, why is it a little different from usual?" Sister Li frowned.
Ma Liu then smiled and said, "Sister Li, you are thinking too much. Okay, I'll go find the boss, there's something else to do, let's talk about it later!"
Seeing Ma Liu turn around the stairs, Sister Li muttered and shook her head, "Strange!"
"What's strange?" Yu Cheng leaned over and asked with a smile.
Sister Li pointed to Ma Liu's back and said, "Yu Cheng, have you noticed that something is wrong with Ma Liu today?"
"Is that true?" Yu Cheng also frowned: "It seems something is wrong, but something is wrong but I can't tell you. I'll ask you later when he comes down."
Ma Liu didn't go to change his clothes, so he knocked on Fatty Hu's door. Fatty Hu opened the door and looked at it, but he didn't feel surprised. He smiled and said, "Is there anything wrong?"
He handed a cigarette to Fatty Hu. It was no longer Li Qun, but the Seven Wolves that cost five yuan a pack. The latter took it without hesitation and pointed it. Ma Liu nodded in his heart and said, "I want to resign."
"Just now?" Fatty Hu smiled.
Ma Liu nodded and said yes.
Fatty Hu glanced at the plump woman on the sofa, blinked, then turned his head and said, "Okay."
Walking to the desk, opening the drawer to take out an envelope, Fatty Hu seemed to be ready, and smiled and said, "This is your salary this month, I have prepared it long ago. After all, this jazz bar is destined to be your eternal stage."
Ma Liu was stunned. He took the thick envelope and took it away. He was startled. He was shocked. It was five or six thousand yuan in total. He frowned and said, "So much?"
"Actually not much." Hu Dafai poured Ma Liu a cup of boiling water, handed it over, and smiled and said, "Your contribution to the Jazz is far more than this, but I said, I owe you a favor, and I will repay it to you. If you use the money to pay it back, I really look down on you."
Ma Liu looked at Fatty Hu with some gratitude, put the envelope up, smiled, and said thank you sincerely for the first time.
"Are you going to leave now?" Hu Dafai suddenly called out Ma Liu.
"No, I have sent so much money today. I want to spend it, so I can also experience the feeling of being a customer." Ma Liu turned around with a smile.
Fatty Hu said, "Don't worry, I know that you have a good relationship with Yu Cheng and Sister Li. You should have a drink with them before leaving. I will let the front desk avoid this order. You can choose whatever drink you want."
Ma Liu nodded and stepped out. Ma Liu felt more and more unable to see through this fat man Hu. He was not a simple person.
When Ma Liu left, Fatty Hu murmured: "Finally, I'm so anxious!"
"What did you say?" the woman didn't hear it clearly and asked with a frown.
Fatty Hu showed a strange smile and said, "Shiyan, something big is going to happen!"
Ma Liu sighed, walked down the second floor, found a seat to sit down, and waved to Yu Cheng and Sister Li.
The two of them came over and Yu Cheng frowned and said, "Ma Liu, what's wrong with you today?"
"I have resigned. Now I want to invite you two to have a drink. I wonder if I will give you a treat?" Ma Liu said with a smile.
"What, you're not doing it?" Sister Li frowned, and she couldn't express her feelings of loss.
Yu Cheng shook his head and sat down, sighing: "It seems that the boss is right. You are destined to be the one who leaves."
Ma Liu was stunned: "When did the boss say this?"
"Just after Wan Gang was hospitalized last time." Yu Cheng waved to the waiter on the side and said, "Xiao Li, Ma Liu is leaving today. Go and get a few bottles of wine. I'll invite him to have a drink."
"Ah, Ma Liu is leaving?" The girl was shocked, with a little disappointed look in her eyes, and said, "But now is the time to work, aren't you afraid of being fired by the boss?"
"I'm afraid of a bird, just bring wine. Is it important for brothers or work? Tell me!" Yu Cheng smiled.
The girl really went to get a few bottles of beer. It was probably a message. The three of them drank a few glasses in a muffled voice, and then someone came to toast one after another. Although Ma Liu tasted it lightly every time, he refused everyone. Zhou Hao, who was standing at the door, looked gloomy. Seeing Ma Liu's popularity was so good, he felt quite unhappy.
"Maliu, this is the red wine my boss asked me to send you. I said I would like to invite you. I don't need to buy the order tonight. He has said hello. Maliu, you are so amazing. It would be a miracle to ask the boss to bring out this kind of wine to entertain you." The girl smiled and brought a bottle of wine and put it down, looking at Maliu with some envy.
Ma Liu smiled and knew the bottle of wine in front of him. The conservative estimate was 5,000 or 6,000 yuan. It was a better bar. It was indeed rare, but Ma Liu was not polite. He opened it and had two drinks with several people before he stood up and said goodbye to everyone.
After sending Ma Liu away, Sister Li was a little lost. Yu Cheng sighed, "Sister Li, Ma Liu is a good man, but unfortunately, he already has a girlfriend."
Sister Li shook and stared at Yu Cheng and said, "Really?"
"If he hadn't left, I wouldn't have thought of telling you this. Alas, this is how life is. How can everything be perfect? Everyone's life is destined. You are just a passerby in our lives." Yu Cheng sighed and prepared to walk away.
"Yu Cheng." Sister Li called out with a little hurt.
"Do you want to ask his girlfriend?" Yu Cheng glanced at Sister Li with some sympathy.
Sister Li nodded and asked with a trembling trembling question: "Is she beautiful?"
"Beautiful, very beautiful, the most beautiful woman I have ever seen." Yu Cheng said sincerely, then turned around and walked away.
Sister Li sat down all of a sudden and was stunned for five minutes before sending a text message to Ma Liu and then walked to the door.
"Sister Li, what's wrong with you? Are you sick? Your face looks a little ugly." A sister with a good relationship with her came over and asked with concern.
Sister Li shook her head and said, "I have something to do tonight, so I'll go back first. You guys will turn around and say to the boss."
Seeing Sister Li leave the bar sadly and several girls gathered together, Xiaowen sighed first: "Hey, everyone says that in our industry, they are all bitches and ruthless. Why is Sister Li so infatuated? She is really pitiful for her!"
When Ma Liu walked out of the bar, he turned his head and looked at the jazz sign. He suddenly felt a little disappointed. He shook his head and cursed. He strode towards Shiqi Hutong in the evening breeze. But just now he walked not far away, Sister Li's text message came. After looking at it, Ma Liu sighed, deleted it directly, and then turned off his phone.
When he arrived at Shiqi Hutong, Xiaohu was doing business. There were many customers tonight. He sat on five tables. Ma Liu looked at it and said with a face: "Close up the stall, there is something tonight."
A hint of excitement flashed in Xiaohu's eyes, nodded, and when Ma Liu went upstairs, he quickly apologized to several tables of customers, and all the consumption was discounted, and he hurriedly closed the stall.
When the old lame man saw Ma Liu, he did not rush to play chess with him, but smiled and said, "Is he really decided?"
Ma Liu nodded: "If anyone does not offend me, I will not offend me. Since I have been forced to this point, I have no way out. But after tonight, it is estimated that it will be difficult for us to meet again in the future. But don't worry, I will not take Xiaohu away, he will still follow you."
"Sit!" The old lame man pointed to the stool. When Ma Liu sat down, the old lame man handed the cigarette to Ma Liu for the first time, and said with a serious expression: "Okay, after the matter is done tonight, don't come to Shiqi Hutong, don't worry about us. You can go wherever you should, but you have come to this position, and I should tell you some things too!"
Ma Liu was stunned and said, "What's the matter?"
"About your life experience." The old lame man said solemnly.
Ma Liu was shocked and frowned and said, "My mother only said that my father and my grandfather are not ordinary people, but they have never really told me in detail. How did you know?"
"Your father and I are friends." The old lame man seemed to recall the past, and then sighed for a while and said, "To be honest, there are too many coincidences in this world. Your father used to be kind to me, and you also have a kind to Xiaohu, so Xiaohu and I have a destiny with you. So this destiny in the world was destined by one drink and one peck. What I can tell you is actually limited. Your grandfather is called Ma Ping'an, an old Red Army soldier. Later, in order to save his comrades, he buried his bones by the Yalu River. Your father is called Ma Bufan. His father is called Ma Bufan.
, I participated in the Vietnam War, and later became disabled, got sick, and died. So others said that you are a nemesis and you will kill your parents. In fact, although this is nonsense by others, it makes more or less reasonable. I know that you will not understand and understand these things, and you don’t have to take them seriously. But you must remember that the necklace on your neck was given to your father by a friend of your grandfather back then. It is also a relic of your grandfather. It is very important to you. You must not give it to anyone or throw it away at any time. Do you remember?"
Ma Liu's face became extremely ugly, and he frowned and nodded.
After looking at Xiaohu who had been silent after coming in, the old lame nodded and said, "Okay, you go downstairs first. Xiaohu and I have a few more words to say!"
Ma Liu nodded and walked out first.
The old lame man muttered a few words in Xiaohu's ear, and then said, "Okay, go and remember what I said to you."
Xiaohu nodded and left. The old lame man stood on the balcony, watching the two brothers leave, and murmured to himself: "Those who are good at replenishing yang must seek yang in the yin, so that yang can be helped by yin and produce endlessly. Those who are good at replenishing yin must seek yin in the yang, so that yin can be raised and the source of yang is endless. One yin and one yang are combined with the strange and correct technique!"
After entering the house and drinking a sip of old wine, the old lame man suddenly hummed the Qin Opera "Spring and Autumn Pen" that he had never been hummed for many years. This is the Qin Opera that flourished in the middle of Xi'an area. The word "straight" is quite tragic.
"The prince is very honest and upright, and there are chanting in the court and the country. I will lose his son and die for him. I will be worth it if I die for him..."
