Chapter 66: The Guest

"Auntie, I've known each other for two days, and I still don't know what your last name is?"

Chen Dahe sat on a high stool in front of the counter, dangling back and forth with his feet hanging in the air, looking at the river-like street outside the door, and talking to his aunt.

"My surname is Cai, and there are more of us with the surname Cai," the aunt replied while wiping the counter.

"Then I'll call you Aunt Cai," Chen Dahe said with a smile when he turned his head.

"It's all right," Aunt Cai raised her head and smiled, and buried herself in her work again.

"Aunt Cai," Chen Dahe was bored and had nothing to say, "Why is it that you are alone in the guest house, and what about the others?"

"Usually no one comes, it's enough to have me," Aunt Cai finally finished wiping the counter, washed the rag and dried it under the counter, wiped her hands clean, and then sat down on the chair, "The guest house originally had only four people, one director, two who were in charge of cleaning and water and electricity, that is, the two people just now, and then me, arranged to move in and do the accounting, those two people came over because of something, just like just now, I went back when I was done, anyway, it's okay to stay here, the director generally doesn't come, he will only be there when the leader comes to live." ”

"Then you are not the hardest," Chen Dahe looked at her in surprise, "I go to work every day, and I don't have a day off?"

"What's the hard work," Aunt Cai shook her head with a smile, "Except for the leader here, there are few people here for a month at other times, and it is very idle, just like now, you are the only one in the guest house, and when you leave, it will be empty again, if it is a rest day, or when there is something, just close the door, and ask someone to replace it." ”

Well, it's really powerful, Chen Dahe was speechless.

"However, it seems that the leaders of the province have come here more diligently this year," Aunt Cai suddenly said thoughtfully, "The situation seems to be different from before." ”

Chen Dahe stared at her expectantly.

As a result, Aunt Cai suddenly slapped the table, "No, the last time the leader came here, I lived here for more than a month, and I haven't had a day off, so I have to find the director to say, make a report to increase the establishment, and find someone to give me a shift!"

Chen Dahe couldn't help but sweat wildly, thinking that Aunt Cai could tell some inside information, but this was the result!

"Aunt Cai, do you know when the leader will come last time?" Chen Dahe asked again, he didn't have any other thoughts, anyway, he was idle and chatting.

"I don't know about this," Aunt Cai shook her head, "How do I know about the leader, anyway, every time they come, the shrimp boy from the street office will come to report the news, just prepare in advance." ”

"Anyway, it won't be today," Chen Dahe said with a smile, "With such a big amount of water, they can't come if they want to." ”

"Not necessarily," Aunt Cai looked at him mysteriously, "Let me tell you, the leaders who come here to investigate are very different, unlike those who sit in the office, all of them come and go in the water, last year, there was a heavy rain and water, which was bigger than this time, and they actually waded through the water and came over, you said that it was not scary." ”

"That's it," Chen Dahe thought thoughtfully, although the sense of responsibility and work attitude of these old-timers have been overestimated enough, it seems that compared with reality, there is still a gap between what he imagined, and sure enough, every success is not just luck.

At that moment, a small sampan came down the water, stopped at the door of the guest house, and slammed the door pier with a muffled sound.

Aunt Cai immediately jumped up, "Shrimp boy, you bastard, don't break the threshold." ”

Chen Dahe looked at the young man who jumped into the gate from the sampan, about seventeen or eighteen years old, not tall, dark and thin, and smiled at him, Aunt Cai was still talking about him just now, and it turned out to be so soon.

Wait, Chen Dahe's heart suddenly moved, couldn't there be a leader coming over?

At this time, the shrimp boy also smiled at Chen Dahe and said hello, "Hello." ”

He turned his head to look at Aunt Cai again, "Don't worry, Aunt Cai, if it's broken, my ship will be broken, your threshold can't be broken, you have guests here?"

"This is a college student who has been admitted to Peking University, come to do some errands, and live here," Aunt Cai briefly introduced Chen Dahe, then looked at the shrimp boy and said, "Come here at this time, is there another leader who wants to come to live?"

"There are guests to stay, but not the leader," Shrimp Boy said with a smile, "A foreign guest, who came from the Xiangjiang River in the morning, was originally going to Guangzhou, but now he can't go, so he said to arrange to stay here first, and then send it to Guangzhou when the water recedes, and then you have to arrange the room to come out." ”

"Foreign guests?" Aunt Cai looked at him in surprise, "I haven't received it, don't cause anything, is there anyone to guide you?"

"This is really nothing," Shrimp Boy also showed a wry smile, "The comrades from the border station brought it directly, and the person handed it over to us and left after saying a few words, yesterday it was windy, the telephone line was also broken, and we couldn't contact the outside, and we didn't know what to do, so we could only arrange to stay first." ”

As soon as she heard this, Aunt Cai had no idea, so she had to say, "What about the people now, when will they come?"

Shrimp Boy pointed outside, "Ming Tsai is taking pictures around, and I'll come over when they're done." ”

"Take pictures?" Aunt Cai's eyes widened suddenly, "How can you let him take pictures casually, what if he takes a bad picture?"

"We can't help it," Shrimp Boy smiled bitterly and spread his hands, "The comrades at the border station showed the documents, and the leaders of the province approved them, saying that they would fully cooperate, and whatever he did, as long as he didn't break the law." ”

"So?" Aunt Cai was also dumbfounded, and then waved her hand, "Then you can cooperate, I'll clean up the room first." ”

With that, he went upstairs.

Chen Dahe has been listening to the side, his eyes are full of strangeness, a foreign guest came, and agreed to let him take pictures casually, it seems that not only the foreign guest is not small, but the determination of the leaders is even greater.

Aunt Cai went upstairs, Chen Dahe chatted with Shrimp Boy, and not long after, another sampan boat crashed into the stone pier of the guest house, and it just stopped next to Shrimp Boy's boat.

Well, it's about to become a Venice water city.

Before the sampan boat stopped, a man of the same age as Shrimp Boy, who was also black and thin, jumped in, it should be Ming Tsai in Shrimp Boy's mouth, and on the boat, there was a tall, blonde middle-aged white man, who was nervously grasping both sides of the sampan, for fear that this small wooden board would turn over at any time.

"Didn't you go to take pictures, why did you come back so soon?" asked Shrimp Boy curiously.

"Shrimp Boy, I'm going crazy," Ming Tsai jumped in, and pulled Shrimp Boy to complain, "I can't understand anything to tell him, I don't understand what he says, I can't say anything at all, I can only take him around the street and bring him here." ”

"That's right," Shrimp Boy scratched his head and looked at the foreign guests who were still on the boat, "but he refuses to come down, does he still want to shoot other places, you see he keeps saying that he will shoot again." ”

"I don't know," Ming Tsai was also distressed, "I don't know where to take him, what if he goes to the wrong place, or if he is not satisfied?"

"Na, shrimp boy," Chen Dahe, who had already listened to more than a dozen words of help me, said with a smile, "This foreign guest wants to come down, but he is afraid that the boat will capsize, so he doesn't dare to move, so you can just take him down." ”
