The chief player of the film and television world

Chapter 161 This Man
The next day, Zhang Jin, who was about to go out, received a call from Lu Jiayao, saying that he had something to do temporarily today, and it would be changed to three days later.Knowing that Lu Jiayao was applying for a job in an art company, Zhang Jin agreed to visit Ah Zheng together after his interview.

Three days later in the afternoon, Lu Jiayao came to Ah Zheng's house with a big fruit basket and Zhang Jin with a box of milk and snacks.

Ah Zheng lives in Yuet Wah Street, Kwun Tong. As the largest industrial zone in Kowloon, there are many industrial buildings and only a few housing estates. Most ordinary citizens live in housing estates established by the Hong Kong government, which are equivalent to low-cost public rental housing.

"Brother Zheng!"

"Ah Jin, Ah Yao, you come here as soon as you come, what are you doing with so many things?" Ah Zheng blamed with a smile.

"No, I just took a fruit basket, all fruits from my family, free of charge. You see, Ah Jin is outrageous, carrying two big boxes of things." Lu Jiayao quickly pointed to the side.

Zhang Jin quickly explained: "Brother Zheng, these things are not for you, but for your son. Don't steal your son's snacks."

"I won't steal my son's snacks unless he offers them to me." Ah Zheng said seriously.

After speaking, all three of them burst out laughing.

"Come on, I'll take you to my house. The housing estates here are relatively old, and it is very difficult for residents who do not live here to find corresponding housing estates." Ah Zheng introduced the surrounding environment to the two while leading the way.

After walking for about 10 minutes, the three of them arrived at the downstairs of Ah Zheng's residence.

"This is Fenghua Building. I live in Room [-]. I will take you up now." Ah Zheng led the two of them to the elevator room.

While waiting for the elevator, several teachers who lived here came over, carrying various plastic bags in their hands, and it looked like they had just returned from the vegetable market.

"Hey, Ah Zheng, are you friends?"

"Yeah, a good brother I met in prison!" Ah Zheng didn't shy away from being in prison at all, and greeted a few teachers with a smile, "Sister Lan, let me see what good things you all bought. .”

Sister Lan snorted: "Last time I let you see, but I borrowed a pig's foot, what kind of food do you want to borrow from me this time?" Although her tone was uncomfortable, she still stretched out the plastic bag in her hand , "Here, just a few things, all vegetarian dishes."

"Vegetarian dishes are good. Eating more vegetarian dishes is good for your health. I think this shiitake mushroom is very good." Ah Zheng looked down.

"Borrow it if you like it."

"Thank you, Miss Lan!"

"Hey, Ah Zheng, what are you going to do with just the mushrooms? Steamed mushrooms or braised mushrooms! I happen to have a pig bone here where the boss buys one and gets one free, why don't we take it back and make soup together!"

"How embarrassing, Miss Hong, you sold this pig bone to your old Wei. Didn't he recently hurt his back at work so he needs to mend his body?" Ah Zheng said.

The other mistresses covered their mouths and sniggered, and Sister Hong snorted coldly: "Don't replace that poor man with me! What did you say that your work hurt your waist? I didn't know until this morning that he was going to work in Mashen! I questioned him , He also said something like '41 flowers for a man, [-] rotten tea residues for a woman', the big deal is to divorce me! I'm so mad, why should I help him make up his body!"

"..."

Unlike the teachers who were leaning forward and backward laughing beside them, the three men had an expression of not daring to speak.

Lu Jiayao lowered his head and took out a few Hong Kong dollars from his pocket, and was about to give them to some teachers, but suddenly Zhang Jin stretched out his hand to stop him, and blocked the money in his hand sideways.

"What are you doing?"

"Of course I'm giving money for brother Zheng, I can't take their money for nothing." Lu Jiayao said as a matter of course.

"This money cannot be given." Zhang Jin pushed his hand back.

"Do you want Brother Zheng to take other people's things?"

Zhang Jin turned his head and glanced at Ah Zheng, who was chatting and laughing with a few teachers, and then whispered to Lu Jiayao: "Of course you can't take it for nothing, but you can't give the money. You will embarrass Brother Zheng if you give the money."

"Why?" Lu Jiayao wondered.

Zhang Jin explained: "Brother Zheng is a man, no matter how difficult a man's situation is, he still wants to save face. Don't look at him now on the surface, who looks like he is joking and taking other people's food for nothing, but he must be very uncomfortable in his heart. No one wants to do this kind of thing , but everyone has difficulties. I believe Brother Zheng remembers who has helped him, and he will definitely use these favors and money when he is able in the future.

And from their conversation, we can know that it is not the first time that these mistresses have lent vegetables to Brother Zheng. They are all willing to help him in such a way that does not hurt his self-esteem. How can we, as friends, destroy this fig leaf? ,dont you agree? "

Lu Jiayao froze for a moment, he didn't think so much: "Ah Jin, I just want to help Brother Zheng, I didn't mean to embarrass him."

"I know." Zhang Jin nodded, thinking that I know your single-minded style of doing things too well, that's why I keep staring at you, so that Brother Zheng and I won't be tricked by you accidentally.

"Then how can I help Brother Zheng?"

"What Brother Zheng needs most now is a stable job that can support his family..."

Before Zhang Jin finished speaking, Ah Zheng's voice came from beside him: "What are you two talking about, the elevator is here, come in quickly, don't make Sister Lan and the others wait too long."

"Here we come." The two quickly ended the conversation and walked into the elevator quickly.

Take the elevator all the way to the fifth floor, say goodbye to Sister Lan and the teachers who live on the upper floors, and the three of them get out of the elevator.

"Brother Zheng, I think you have a good relationship with Sister Lan." Lu Jiayao said enviously.

"It's not just Sister Lan and the others. In fact, everyone in the neighborhood who lives here has a good relationship." Ah Zheng said with a smile. People are very kind. When a family encounters difficulties, the neighbors who are able will help. When I was in prison, it was Sister Lan and the others who helped take care of my mother and son."

While talking, they came to the door of Room 512.

Ah Zheng's son was playing with a few children of the same age in the corridor. When he saw Ah Zheng coming back, he had a bright smile on his face and ran towards him waving: "Father!"

"Hey, son!" Ah Zheng picked up his son and said with a smile, "Let's go home for dinner. Today we have pork ribs soup with mushrooms."

"Okay!" Xiao Ah Zheng said happily, then turned his head and waved goodbye to his little friend.

The three entered the door. This is a house with an inner and outer room, about [-] square meters.Not much furniture, but still not spacious.There are some paper newspapers and cans piled up in the corner of the door, a bamboo recliner, a folding bed and a table. On the table are a stove, pots and pans, a gas tank under the table, and a narrow bathroom next to it.

When they entered the house, it suddenly felt a little crowded.

Ah Zheng hugged his son and walked to the back room: "Don't mind, the house is a bit messy, it will be better if you come in."

Zhang Jin and Lu Jiayao followed him into the back room.

The environment in the back room is obviously better. There is a double bed next to the wall, with a bedside table and an old wardrobe next to it, and a small homemade wooden table next to the window. There are some old newspapers full of graffiti on it.

On a dining table with missing corners were the leftovers from lunch, white porridge and sautéed water spinach and stalks.
