The conversation outside the door continued, and the atmosphere eased considerably. Qin Guisheng, who was originally excited, found that he couldn't change Cao Guixiang's opinion at all, and began to become powerless, so he could only choose to respect Cao Guixiang's decision like Master Peng and Peng Changping.

Although he still felt that Cao Guixiang's decision was very stupid in his heart, and wrote on his face that he felt that Cao Guixiang's decision was very stupid.

"Have you made up your mind?" Qin Guisheng asked.

Cao Guixiang nodded.

"No regrets?" Cao Guixiang shook her head.

". Qin Guisheng snorted coldly, "You didn't go, if you go, it's a real suffering." It's hot in the south, there are a lot of mosquitoes, there are no mosquito nets and insect repellent medicine that can bite you to death at night in summer, and it's cold in winter, and there is no kang, I see how you live in winter. ”

"Don't think it's easy to work in the field, have you ever done farm work, do you think it's the same as cooking when you were a child, I guess you can't straighten your waist after a day in the field. And your hands, don't rub the hand oil cream, I'm telling you it's useless, if you go to the south for a few years, I guess your hands will be rougher than me by then. You ......"

Qin Guisheng babbled a lot, upside down, as if he had gone to the countryside as a young intellectual.

"I'm telling you, girls must protect themselves outside, don't be taken advantage of by those little hooligans, those who have no skin and no face, fortunately you don't look good. Communication in the countryside is not convenient, if you want to send a letter, you have to go to the town or ask someone to help, if you are wronged, no one will stand up for you, if you want to cry secretly at night, the person in the same room will think that you quarrel with her to sleep. ”

Cao Guixiang looked at Qin Guisheng and said, "Second Senior Brother, how many years has Sister Amin been there?"

"It's been more than two years. Qin Gui said in a sullen voice.

"Are you still communicating?"

"Nonsense, no correspondence how do I know so much. Qin Guisheng glanced at Cao Guixiang angrily, and instantly deflated, "I sent a lot of letters in the first year, and this year I only sent a total of three letters, each of which is less than two pages." ”

"Are you still waiting for her?" asked Cao Guixiang.

"Of course wait!" Qin Guisheng raised his voice, "You think that you have set a wedding date, and I would have ...... it"

Saying that, Qin Guisheng suddenly fell silent and didn't say any more.

"I don't know. ”

Peng Changping shook his head and left.

"I'm almost thirty years old, and my brother has two sons at my age. In a few more years, Amin will be almost thirty, I don't know. Qin Guisheng could only shake his head, "No matter what you do, what do you like." ”

"I don't need to send you a letter?" Cao Guixiang said with a smile.

"You dare!" Qin Guisheng's eyes widened and threatened her, "I don't care what others do, Cao Guixiang, you have to write back every month, you don't have time to let Zhang Chu send it, he has eaten and drunk so many things in Yonghe Jubai in the past few years, you should call him, leave him to do the work, don't tire yourself." ”

"Also, I can't trust your parents, you have to ask them to write a note. You don't have to go to the countryside to work, and in the end it is your brother who will benefit the most, and you must ask your parents and your brother to compensate you. What malt cream, biscuits, sugar, brown sugar, and cloth, I have to send you every month, you give me the note, if they don't send it to you, I will go to the street office to borrow a loudspeaker and stand at your door and shout. ”

Cao Guixiang couldn't hold back her laughter for a while: "Second senior brother, what nonsense are you talking about." My family doesn't have many cloth tickets a month, and I still have malt cream, biscuits and sugar, and I don't eat much of these things now, and I send them every month, don't make trouble. ”

"What a sacrifice have you made, how many of our regular workers in Yongheju can't squeeze their heads in, don't you just ask them to give some food and cloth, they should give it! You have all gone to the countryside, why can your brother still be able to eat delicious food and wear new clothes in Beiping, he is not worthy, if he has a little conscience, he should stop you from going to the countryside by yourself instead of saying something to thank you, sister. The salary you have given to your family over the years is enough to buy how many new clothes, biscuits and sugar, and you don't eat at home and don't spend the family's money, they should give it to you, even with interest!" Qin Guisheng was more serious.

Cao Guixiang just smiled, not taking Qin Guisheng's nonsense to heart: "Zhang Chu is going to come to the store today to repair all the tables and chairs that were broken before, and he will be almost ready to eat, he probably hasn't eaten yet, I'll cook a bowl of egg noodles for him, and he will be able to eat when he comes." ”

"If Manager Zhang comes back, Second Senior Brother, you tell him, and the eggs will be deducted from my salary. Cao Guixiang said and left.

After Cao Guixiang left, Qin Guisheng snorted unhappily and muttered: "Return the egg noodles, a dead girl with no conscience, I have said so much bitterly to you here and don't even pour me a glass of water, and that stinky boy has egg noodles to eat before anyone comes." ”

After speaking, Qin Guisheng relied on himself and poured water by himself.

Jiang Feng returned to the utility room and found that Zhang Chu had quietly come down from the chair without knowing when, and was carrying a bag of tools in a daze with a solemn expression. Half of the hammer in his arms ran out, which made Jiang Feng very worried that the hammer would hit Zhang Chu's feet in the next second and smash him directly into the hospital.

Fortunately, the tragedy did not happen.

Zhang Chu was stunned for a while, as if he had thought clearly, put the tools in his arms on the ground and began to organize the objects in the cabinet. Everything is put in order according to size, type and function, and it takes more than half an hour to organize it.

After all the things in the cabinet were sorted out, Zhang Chu went out with the tools, as if he had just arrived, and walked to the lobby.

Cao Guixiang was standing in the lobby, looking at her appearance, she was probably waiting for Zhang Chu. Seeing Zhang Chu coming, Cao Guixiang hurriedly greeted him, and his expression was still a little surprised: "When did you come? Why didn't I see you all the time here?"

"After a while, I went to the utility room to look for tools. Zhang Chu said vaguely.

"Oh. Cao Guixiang nodded, "If you're hungry, I'll go cook egg noodles for you." You haven't come, I'm afraid that the noodles will be cooked early, so I haven't dared to cook them, so you take a break and eat noodles and repair the table. ”

"Cinnamon incense. Zhang Chu seemed to have plucked up his courage, "I have something to tell you." ”

"Oh, by the way, I also have something to tell you, I handed in my resignation report today, and I will go to the countryside with you next month, and I will report wherever you go. Cao Guixiang said, as if he was talking about a trivial matter of how many green onions to put on a noodle today.

Zhang Chu moved his lips and said with some difficulty: "You don't ......"

"I'm not because I am, I'm because my brother is old enough to go to the countryside, and if I don't go, he has to go. In fact, it's not just because of my brother, our store is not going to reduce the number of people, if I don't resign, Master Wang's son will definitely have to leave. His son is not in good health, and he will have to go to the countryside next year if he is not in good health, and Master Wang is usually so good to me, I can't be indifferent to watching from the sidelines. ”

"You ......"

Cao Guixiang didn't give Zhang Chu a chance to speak at all, and continued: "Actually, it's not bad that I decided to go to the countryside, we grew up learning crafts, and it's not that we can't endure hardships. You're a carpenter, I'm a cook, and we'll have food everywhere. And I heard that there is enough food in the countryside, and you may be able to hunt hares and wild boars near the mountains, and the pigs will be killed and divided into meat every year during the Chinese New Year. My parents said that they will send me things every month, and I have to pay my salary every month in Beiping, if I become an educated youth and go to the countryside, not only do I not have to pay my salary, but my parents will also send me things, isn't this much better than in Beiping?"

"You sit down first, I'll cook you noodles, egg noodles!"

Zhang Chu prepared for a long time, but he didn't say a word.

Zhang Chu could only put the tools on the table for the time being, standing in the lobby and waiting. After a few minutes, Cao Guixiang came out with egg noodles.

A very simple bowl of egg noodles, hand-rolled noodles, the eggs are scattered and look very much, the noodles are drizzled with a little soy sauce coloring, there is nothing but eggs and noodles, not even green vegetables and green onions.

"Hurry up and eat, it's delicious while it's hot, there's an egg lying underneath." Originally, I wanted to sprinkle some green onions, but the second senior brother was stingy and didn't let me take the green onions, and if he came out later, you avoided him, and he was in a bad mood today and wanted to find someone to quarrel. Cao Guixiang put the noodles on the table and said with a smile.

Zhang Chu was silent and did not hold chopsticks.

"Eat it, it's not hot. Cao Guixiang urged.

"Guixiang, you better go to Manager Wang and get the resignation report back. Zhang Chu said, "We ......"

Cao Guixiang straightened his face and looked at Zhang Chu: "Why do you want to take it back?" I have already told my parents about this, if I want to regret it, they will be the first to disagree." ”

She didn't give herself a way out from the beginning.

"You shouldn't ......"

"I don't regret it. Cao Guixiang said, suddenly laughing, "Let's eat noodles, don't talk about this yet." By the way, have you retired from the banquet that was set in Shunhe Lou before, if it is inconvenient for you to go over now, I will go to talk to the owner of Shunhe Lou. You paid a deposit, and they can't take advantage of the fire to rob and not even refund the deposit. ”

Zhang Chu didn't speak, picked up the chopsticks and lowered his head, and took a large chopstick noodle.

Jiang Feng clearly saw that when Zhang Chu picked up the noodles, there was a tear the size of a bean dripping on his face, like water dripping into a river, and it disappeared in the blink of an eye, as if it had never appeared.

Zhang Chu ate a big bite of noodles and devoured them, as if he had a grudge against noodles.

"You eat slowly, be careful of choking. Didn't you eat today? How does it taste? I was a little anxious when I cooked it just now, maybe the taste is not good. ”

"A bit salty. Zhang Chu said in a sullen voice.

The tears were so salty, so salty that he wanted to cry.

"Salty, could it be that I put too much soy sauce? shouldn't it......" Cao Guixiang's voice was full of confusion, and the expression on his face must have been confused, but Jiang Feng couldn't see it clearly.

The voice gradually faded, and Jiang Feng also began to be shrouded in fog, unable to see the two of them clearly, and could not see their faces clearly.

Jiang Feng left the memory.
