Chapter 8 Companions

An old Jiefang bus drove into the bus station, and more than 20 people came down. A young man with a waxed and greasy face was holding a cigarette in his mouth and carrying two large bags of travel bags. He was trembling towards the gate of the station when he suddenly felt that someone had been patted on his right shoulder.

The young man turned around and said, "Choose!" in surprise, the cigarette in his mouth fell off, and then said, "Dajing! Why are you here?"

"Haha." Jing Jian took a travel bag and smiled, "It happened to be given away to someone, but I didn't expect to meet you."

"That's a coincidence." This young man was Jing Jian's comrade-in-arms Wang Guobin. He did not doubt at all and said happily, "Let's not talk about it, find a warmer place. What a broken car? The air leaks everywhere, and it's going to cost my life."

Wang Guobin was a soldier in Jing Jian's squad. They were from the reconnaissance company of the artillery regiment. At that time, in order to destroy an important target of the enemy, their squad formed two combat teams, led by the squad leader and Jing Jian, and suddenly guided the artillery fire. The squad leader's group was wiped out when they broke through the blockade line. Jing Jian's group finally completed the task, but the losses were also great. Only Jing Jian returned to the army with the injured Wang Guobin on the back. Therefore, these two people were a life-and-death relationship on the battlefield.

However, this was also the last time they met in their previous lives. After being injured and retired from the army, Wang Guobin and his family started a family business with the front store and back factory. I heard that they were doing well. However, in the summer of 1986, two years later, the whole family lost all their money due to international fraud and owed a lot of debts. After sending a letter to Jing Jian, the whole family fled overseas and finally lost all news. After Jing Jian became rich, he also sent people to search for it in every possible way, but his whereabouts were unknown. It is very likely that something unexpected happened after the smuggling?

Sometimes when I think about it, Wang Guobin is also a capable person, and he actually became the first group of victims of international fraud. After opening the country, he blindly admired everything overseas, thinking that all foreigners are elegant gentlemen, and he didn’t know how much tuition fees he paid in the future?

Jing Jian still attaches great importance to this friendship. Since he has been reborn, he can't watch Wang Guobin fall into the cliff. Unfortunately, Jing Jian did not know the specific process of the international fraud, and even did not understand the details. Therefore, this time, I can only give more reminders, hoping that Wang Guobin will be more vigilant.

If it doesn't work, Jing Jian is also planning to make more money by himself, at least he has to pay off Wang Guobin's debt. What's the matter if he loses money? As long as he is still there and following him, he can definitely ensure that Wang Guobin's family will be rich for the rest of his life.

However, it is too early to talk about these things now, and there is not even a single word of the eight characters. Wang Guobin will not believe it. The most urgent task is to entertain him well in this county town.

However, after a walk around, Jing Jian became embarrassed. There was no good place in this closed and backward county town. There was only the service attitude of those state-owned hotels as if they were owed them debts. Do you still go to find Chen Tuozi and eat spicy noodles?

It was Wang Guobin who escaped the siege: "Dajing! Find a guesthouse to live in first, buy some wine and food, and we can drink in the house."

The two brothers had nothing to be polite. Jing Jianke agreed to set up a room at the cleanest county government guesthouse, and then bought a lot of wine and cooked dishes. Seeing them carrying wine and vegetables into the guesthouse, the waiter at the door wanted to come forward to stop him, but before he could speak, Wang Guobin hid his pocket. Jing Jian's eyes were pointed, and there was a big dumpling (ten yuan banknote) in the two cigarettes.

The service attitude suddenly turned sharply. Not only did he leave the room for them, the waiter also took the initiative to deliver a few dishes from the guesthouse canteen. When the waiter left, the two of them clinked glasses and drank the first glass of wine. Wang Guobin complained casually: "The white wine was too turbulent. If I hadn't drunk a lot of it when I was in the army, I wouldn't be able to withstand this. I promised, Dajing. Today is the best time. I won't stay for a long time, and I might leave tomorrow."

Jing Jian understood that Wang Guobin didn’t drink much, so the Mandarin spoken is quite standard now: “Then just pour the wine and drink it yourself. I’m all brothers in the same class, who doesn’t know who the foundation is? I’m afraid you will vomit so much. I’m not interested in being an old mother for you for a few days.”

"Hehe." Wang Guobin didn't care about sarcasm. He smiled, "It's really not possible this time. Time is tight. I just take advantage of the first lunar holiday to see you old comrades. Before coming here, I had already gone to the homes of Dalin and Xiao Qilu. There are a few more in the back."

Dalin and Xiao Qilu were all comrades-in-arms who died in the class, so Jing Jian cared about: "How are their families?"

"Little Qilu is a city soldier, and she has a younger brother who is in school, so she is quite adept. The other families are not very good. The Dalin family is the worst. Both parents are lying on the bed, and his wife is carrying a girl who just knows how to walk, crying... I didn't even dare to stay, so I gave her five hundred." As he said that, Wang Guobin lit a cigarette, and tears came out of his eyes.

Jing Jian took the cigarette and lit it, and his nose felt a little sore: "When I left, leave a copy of their address. Only a dozen brothers left us, and the affairs of their family are ours."

"What's the problem."

Jing Jian suddenly realized that he had a lot of regrets in his previous life. He couldn't remember whether he left this address when he met Wang Guobin in his previous life. Maybe he lost it after moving several times or running away from home? It was not until a long time later that Jing Jian went to search for it on a whim, but at that time, many of his comrades' homes had tragedies, because of poverty. Although Jing Jian gave a lot of money at that time, what's the use of late care?

For example, Xiao Qilu, his parents died prematurely because of laid off work. The wife of the squad leader Dalin remarried several times, divorced several times because of domestic violence, and was the burden of the young and old. Therefore, Jing Jian decided that he had to do something for them.

The scene was a bit dull, and the two of them were drinking a lot of wine. Finally, Wang Guobin recovered: "Dajing, say something happy. I will accept the gift I gave you first." Wang Guobin opened a travel bag, "These two electronic watches are for you and your younger brother and sister..."

"It's my sister-in-law!" Although Wang Guobin is indeed old, Jing Jian will not let this principle issue go easily.

"Okay! You are the boss." Wang Guobin continued with a smile, "There are also these, look at it. This dual-speaker recorder is the most fashionable and is also for you."

This recorder, which has been completely eliminated in later generations, is now a high-end appliance. It is indeed good. Wang Guobin's family was the first to become rich in Nanyue. However, Jing Jian was not used to Wang Guobin's pride. He spitted cigarettes and said coldly: "There is no electricity at home."

"That's best." Wang Guobin also didn't take that set, "I'll take it back. Who would I give it to?"

"Haha! Are you so brave? You want it! Why don't you?"
