Chapter 250: Change of Defense
In the next few days, Li Erhu taught Ah San the routines of the explosion-proof fork and practiced them all the time. The two of them had become more and more proficient in both confrontation and cooperation. In fact, with Ah San's athletic talent, he could master this thing in half an hour. The reason why he was resistant at the beginning was that wild horses only like to run on the vast grassland. If you limit it to running laps on the racecourse, it will definitely feel restrained. In addition... maybe it feels a little ashamed?
Li Changgui would sometimes join in. The three uncles and nephews were now feeling sullen because they had become useless. But Zhang Nianzu had become increasingly mysterious recently. Every night when he went home to sleep, he would carry his tool kit with him. When he returned to his room, there would be a lot of ding-dongs. No one knew what he had done in bed that required him to keep repairing it like this...
Apart from sleeping, Zhang Nianzu would sit in one place twisting the rope in a daze, his expression sometimes calm as water, sometimes glaring with anger. People from other shops on Changsheng Street shook their heads. This auto repair shop used to be a benchmark on the street, but now its business is not good and it has all become a case of middle school syndrome.
On this day, a beautiful girl with a slim figure and smooth hair walked along Changsheng Street. The bad boys in the repair shops on both sides put two fingers in their mouths and were about to blow them, but when they saw the girl's appearance clearly, they took them out in disappointment. Although the business of the leading shop was not doing well, Zhang Nianzu's influence was still there. It turned out that the girl was Lei Tingting.
Lei Tingting walked to the RV across the street without looking away, shook hands with Liu Laoliu and said, "Thank you for your hard work, Master Liu . Did you receive the notice?"
"Got it." Liu Laoliu put on his small bag and turned back to Zhuge Daofeng and Xiahou Pili and said, "Remember, Lei Tingting will be your direct leader from now on. I have to go perform other tasks."
The two men stood up in surprise, not knowing what to do.
Liu Laoliu pressed his hands down and said, "Is it that serious? Have you ever seen a shift?"
Zhuge Daofeng asked: "Why don't you replace us too?"
Liu Laoliu said, "You are still not happy. I am an old man, but I am replaced by a beautiful woman. What do you have to complain about?"
Xiahou Pili said: "But this beautiful lady is already taken!"
Liu Laoliu glared at him and said, "Don't say that. I'll tell you something. You can have simple exchanges with Zhang Nianzu, but you are not allowed to have close contact." He turned to Lei Tingting and asked, "Isn't that what the notice says?"
Lei Tingting nodded expressionlessly.
"Okay, let's go. I'll go over there and say hello. Will you come with me?" Liu Laoliu asked Lei Tingting.
Lei Tingting agreed, and the two of them walked across the street together.
From the moment Lei Tingting appeared on Changsheng Street, everyone's eyes followed her stupidly. When they saw her coming, Ah San and Ah Si shouted at the same time: "Auntie!" "Sister Tingting."
Zhang Nianzu looked at Lei Tingting, but could not see any emotional fluctuations in her eyes.
Liu Laoliu walked straight over to Zhang Nianzu and said, "She will be in charge of watching you from now on. There's no need for me to introduce you. Let's not be so formalistic, like in a third-rate TV drama."
Lei Tingting said to Ah San and Ah Si: "Call me Lei Tingting from now on, don't call me anything else."
Zhang Nianzu looked into Lei Tingting's eyes and asked, "Why are they doing this?"
Lei Tingting dodged slightly and said, "No reason, just carrying out the mission."
Liu Laoliu said, "Okay, you can chat for a while after I leave." He looked at the young couple with a complicated and strange expression, "Everyone knows what happened between you two in the past, but I have to reiterate one thing, the Ant Tribe and the Clan must not have any connection, this is the biggest taboo of all, don't let it happen accidentally!"
Lei Tingting had always maintained her image as a cold and domineering lady, but at this moment she couldn't help but blush and glared at Liu Laoliu fiercely.
Liu Laoliu chuckled, suddenly reached out to take the cigarette off Li Changgui's ear, replaced it with a Zhonghua, and said to Li Changgui: "I don't know if we can pass cigarettes to each other next time we meet, so let's keep it as a souvenir."
Li Changgui nodded.
Liu Laoliu walked to the side of the road, hailed a taxi, got in after asking for fare, and drove away.
Here, everyone seemed to have a lot to say, but they didn't know whether they should say it or not. Ah Si said guiltily, "Sister Tingting, I didn't protect you well."
Lei Tingting said decisively: "It's none of your business. It's my choice."
Li Changgui grabbed Ah San and Ah Si by the back of their necks and dragged them away: "Don't make trouble. Let them stay for a while."
Lei Tingting looked at Zhang Nianzu and said indifferently: "You look more haggard than before."
Zhang Nianzu knew very well what this tone of voice when talking to an ex-boyfriend meant - they had a lot of emotions that they couldn't reveal, and Lei Tingting could only express her concern in declarative sentences.
Zhang Nianzu smiled and said, "I'm fine. You've seen the training, but I feel bad."
Lei Tingting turned around quickly and said, "I'm leaving. Don't contact each other unless necessary."
At this time, a young man with thick eyebrows and big eyes walked out of the repair shop and asked, "Who's here?"
Zhang Nianzu said to Lei Tingting: "This is Li Erhu."
Lei Tingting said excitedly: "You are Li Er..." She immediately realized that her emotions were not right, and forced herself to say the second half of the sentence coldly, "Hu?" When she was with Zhang Nianzu, she had heard this name countless times, and the adjectives derived from this name. She had long been curious about Li Erhu. Now that she had seen the real person, there were many things she could not ask.
After listening to Zhang Nianzu's introduction, Li Erhu said exaggeratedly: "Sister Tingting? I hear them talking about you every day."
Lei Tingting took out a pair of sunglasses and put them on, then said coldly: "Don't nag me if there is nothing to do!" After saying this incoherent sentence, she quickly walked back to the RV.
Zhang Nianzu watched her beautiful figure leave and stood there for a long time, speechless.
Li Changgui took out a cigarette and lit it, then said with emotion: "The ant tribe is really vicious. You, Brother Nianzu, can't do anything now."
Ah San asked, "Is it true that Brother Nianzu and Sister Tingting are like this?"
Ah Si said with an uncertain expression: "This is the only way as long as the Ant Tribe is not destroyed. That's why Uncle San said that we will have a battle with the Ant Tribe sooner or later."
Ah San said: "Aren't the ants forcing us to fight them to the death?"
Li Changgui sneered, "The Ant Tribe dares to do this because they think we are no longer capable. They blatantly sent people to keep an eye on us and Jack, just to weigh who to support to benefit them. They are treating us like meat on the chopping board. What high-tech, rich? Wait until I kick their boss in the stomach one day, and you'll see if these things are still useful."
Ah San said: "Then why don't we go now?"
Zhang Nianzu suddenly said, "The Ant Tribe has done me a favor , and it's not time yet. We need to prioritize things."
Li Changgui asked, "Can't you tell us about the secret thing you did?"
Zhang Nianzu shook his head: "Sooner or later, the truth will be revealed." He stretched out his hand and said, "Erhu, can you show me the family tree?"
"Of course, I wanted to show it to you." Li Erhu excitedly took out his schoolbag when he heard it. The family tree he compiled was not just one book, but a whole schoolbag.
Zhang Nianzu picked up a book and read it carefully, while his right hand continued to twist the metal rope. He looked for a while, then raised his head to think for a while. Both hands did not stop, while his body sat cross-legged but did not move.
Ah San whispered, "Brother Nianzu is going to become a Buddha!"
