Yongheju is not a small distance from the gold carpenter's home, Zhang Chu carried a large bag of tools and followed the gold carpenter through the streets and alleys, the sun was scorching outside, but there was no shade to be found along the way. When the master and apprentice walked to Yongheju, they were sweating profusely, and they looked like they had been fished out of the water.

Manager Zhang was already waiting at the door, and when he saw the gold carpenter coming, he hurriedly greeted him with a smile: "The gold carpenter has worked hard all the way, and this ghost weather must be hot." Come on, come on, here's the herbal tea brewed yesterday, you guys come and drink a cup first. ”

After a cup of herbal tea fell into the stomach of one person, the golden carpenter and Zhang Chu felt alive.

"The cabinet is still in its old place on the second floor, right?" asked the gold carpenter.

"Yes, we haven't dared to move where we are, for fear of breaking it again. Manager Zhang said, "It just so happens that this window frame is also on the second floor, it's strange to say, this was fine yesterday, this morning Xiao Cao found that the window frame was broken and told me." It didn't rain last night, why did it break for no reason, did something hit it, I really can't figure it out. ”

"It's just that a broken window frame is not a hassle to repair. After drinking the herbal tea, the golden carpenter poured himself another cup of cold water, and poured it into his stomach, "Manager Zhang, please find someone to take my apprentice upstairs to see the window frame, and I will repair the cabinet." ”

"Well, I'm sorry for you. Manager Zhang turned around and wanted to catch a strong man, so he happened to see Cao Guixiang sneaking at the kitchen door and wanted to peek at Zhang Chu, and beckoned to her: "Guixiang, come here, take this little Master Zhang upstairs to repair the window frame." ”

Cao Guixiang originally just wanted to find a hidden place to peek at Zhang Chu, but she didn't expect to be caught by Manager Zhang, her hand touched her face a few times, and grabbed two handfuls of hair as if she wanted to make her hairstyle look better, so she lowered her head and walked out slowly.

"That, Master Zhang, I'll take you upstairs. Cao Guixiang whispered, and her voice was a little strange because she suppressed her throat.

"You girl, aren't you okay in the morning, why is your throat like this now?" asked Manager Zhang.

"Just now, the second senior brother was frying fish in the kitchen, and I was choked. Cao Guixiang chose to throw the pot to Qin Guisheng.

Zhang Chu went out to repair things for others for the first time, and he was also very nervous, just now he kept burying his head in the big bag he dragged and rummaging through the tools, but he didn't look up at all, and he didn't see Cao Guixiang's face clearly.

Cao Guixiang led the way in front, Zhang Chu followed behind him, and the two walked without saying a word until they walked in front of the window frame that was broken by Cao Guixiang himself last night.

"That's it, as soon as I came this morning I found it suddenly broke. Cao Guixiang opened her eyes and said nonsense.

Zhang Chu stepped forward to check, the fracture was very neat, even Jiang Feng could see that it was not naturally broken, and nine times out of ten it was broken or knocked out by others.

"This fracture doesn't look like it was broken by moisture, but it looks like it was broken by something. Zhang Chu muttered, he is just an inexperienced newcomer, he has never repaired the window frame, he only dares to talk to himself, and he does not dare to make up his mind.

Cao Guixiang heard Zhang Chu's self-talk clearly, thinking that his small actions had been exposed by others at a glance, and he was immediately a little flustered, and he didn't choose to speak: "Didn't it rain for a month last month? Maybe it was damp at that time, and then last night it may have been a bird or something that hit it and broke it all at once, I don't know, it was already broken when I saw it this morning." ”

Cao Guiqiang's words just now were fast and quiet, Jiang Feng only listened to a rough idea, Zhang Chu was concentrating on looking at the section of the window frame, and he was probably thinking about how to connect it, Jiang Feng felt that he didn't hear what Cao Guixiang said just now.

Or, in other words, he didn't even notice what Cao Guixiang said.

After Cao Guixiang finished speaking, she looked at Zhang Chu with a nervous face and some expectation, hoping that he could give her a reply, but Zhang Chu kept staring at the window frame and ignored her at all. Cao Guixiang thought that Zhang Chu was so long-winded that she didn't even bother to reply politely, so she left with a depressed face and a little sadness.

Jiang Feng wanted to see how Zhang Chu would react when he found out that Cao Guixiang was gone, so he didn't follow Cao Guixiang downstairs but stood next to Zhang Chu.

Zhang Chu stared at the broken part of the window frame, looked left and right, pondered for a few minutes, turned his head and asked, "Comrade, ...... your shop?"

"Alas, what about that comrade just now?" Zhang Chu looked confused.

Unable to find Cao Guixiang, Zhang Chu relied on himself, walked towards the gold carpenter, and asked loudly, "Master, do you have ...... there?"

Jiang Feng didn't hear the latter words, because he had already gone downstairs to see what Cao Guixiang was doing.

Jiang Feng noticed when he came that there were very few guests in Yongheju today. There is no table of guests on the 2nd floor, and there is only one table of guests on the 1st floor eating, theoretically it should be the time to tell the story and not to see Mr. Che on the other side, presumably because the weather is too hot, so hot that the guests are reluctant to go out to eat, and it is so hot that Mr. Che is absent from work to enjoy the cool at home.

As soon as Jiang Feng walked into the back kitchen, he saw Cao Guixiang and Qin Guisheng sitting in a row on two small benches and drinking herbal tea.

"What should I do? He must think I'm verbose, doesn't he want to see me in the future, and I don't want to talk to me anymore, so if the window frame of our shop is still broken, will he be willing to come and fix it?" Cao Guixiang held the teacup in both hands with a sad expression.

Qin Guisheng almost squirted out the herbal tea in his mouth when he heard her last sentence, and he stammered when he spoke.

"Division... Division... Senior sister, do you have to break the window frame of our store?" Qin Guisheng thought in his heart, if the two of them were found out by the master what they did secretly last night, with the master's favor for the little junior sister, he might be left behind, but for him, the killer would kill his relatives with righteousness.

He is only in his 20s, and he only held hands with Amin, and the two of them have not yet decided to marry, so they can't die miserably like this.

"Of course it has to be broken!" Cao Guixiang said, "I went to ask Manager Yin yesterday, and after the golden carpenter took over the job of her customized thousand work beds, he will not take on other jobs." The Qiangong bed was built in another courtyard of Manager Yin's house, which is not the same road as ours at all, and he will never pass by our street on the way back in the future, nor will he stay there to listen to Mr. Che's commentary. ”

"Little junior sister, don't be impulsive, let the second senior brother help you sum up. Did he tell you anything when you led him up just now?" Qin Guisheng asked.

"And he said 28 words to me: 'This break is not like it was broken by moisture, but it looks like it was broken by something.' That's all there are 28 words. Cao Guixiang looked sad.

Qin Guisheng: ???

Are you sure this is said to you and not to yourself?

"emmm, this is ......" Qin Guisheng didn't know what to say for a while, "But no matter what, we can't smash the window frame anymore, if our store breaks the window frame every once in a while, everyone will feel strange." Besides, the way you smashed the window frame was also dangerous, and you made a special trip to climb to the outer wall to smash it, and if you fall down one day, I will be finished, and the master must not pick my skin. ”

"What are you doing again? My father is still going to pick your skin?" Peng Changping appeared behind them at some point, "What are you talking about so attentively, so that you don't even hear when you eat." ”

"It's nothing, oops, it's time to eat, let's go for a walk, junior sister, let's eat quickly." Qin Guisheng jumped up after rubbing it.

Probably because of the hot weather, the meal is very simple, stir-fried watermelon rind, cucumber, cold tomato and chili scrambled eggs, the staple food is white flour steamed buns, no soup but herbal tea tube is enough.

Cao Guixiang absentmindedly nibbled on steamed buns, and from time to time he picked up a watermelon peel with chopsticks, and the whole person wandered out of the world.

"Guixiang, what do you think? Master Peng tapped the back of her hand with the end of his chopsticks.

"Ah, oh, Master, I'm wondering if it's not good for us to eat like this, why don't we call Master Jin and Master Xiao Zhang down to eat together, they are still working on it." Cao Guixiang said.

"Originally, there was such a rule, the master had to not only give money but also take care of the food, but now the rules have changed, and the money will not be paid for the meal, otherwise it will be a bad rule. There is a fixed amount of money and food in our store, and if it is messed up like this, it will be difficult to report at the end of the month. Manager Zhang said.

"But I remember that Master Zhang doesn't seem to charge money for repairing window frames, since he doesn't charge money, we have to take care of a meal, otherwise it wouldn't be too unkind." Cao Guixiang said.

"That's the reason, otherwise, the money will be deducted from my salary this month, Guixiang, you will make a bowl of fried noodles for Master Zhang and send it to him later." Master Peng nodded.

Cao Guixiang was suddenly excited, and after eating the steamed buns in his hand, he slipped into the kitchen.

"Master, I'm going to make fried noodles for Master Zhang!"

"Skipping meals?"

"I'm full!"

Master Peng shook his head helplessly and said with a smile: "This kid, the older he gets, the less he is in shape. ”

Master Wang saw a clue and smiled mysteriously: "I think it should be Guixiang, I see that Master Zhang upstairs, right?"

Qin Guisheng almost choked to death with a mouthful of steamed buns.

"Yo, looking at Xiao Qin's reaction, it seems that Guixiang is really in love. Master Wang said.

"Master Wang, don't talk nonsense, this is not what I said, you said it. Qin Guisheng said again and again.

"But if Guixiang really fell in love with the little master Zhang upstairs, it would be really troublesome, that little Zhang master is a famous handsome young man in his alley, and there are many little girls who like him. Master Wang said.

Hearing Master Wang say this, Qin Guisheng was immediately unhappy: "Master Wang, look at what you said, my junior sister also looks like... Our Yonghe Ju is famous and beautiful, and my junior sister is young and may be able to become a regular worker in two years, Zhang Chu is just an apprentice of a gold carpenter who has not yet graduated from the school, and he has no serious income. In terms of work and appearance, where is my junior sister not worthy of that Zhang Chu, it is Zhang Chu who is not worthy of her. ”

There is only one female employee in the entire Yongheju, Cao Guixiang.

Everyone laughed.
