Volume I, Chapter 31
"Finally it got dark. ”
Lao Liu wiped his sweat, put away the billboard, and touched the receipts for breakfast and lunch in his pocket, thoughtfully.
Do you eat dinner? Even if you manage the rice, will three dry meals a day be too much?
The honest man Lao Liu thought to be honest, he could earn 30 yuan a day without putting in his strength, and he also ate two large bowls of white noodles at the Yinhua Noodle Restaurant in the morning, and gave two tea eggs for free.
Another meal in the evening would cost about ten dollars. It's still that he is not embarrassed to eat meat dishes, otherwise it would be more than this money.
I don't know what the young man who hired him came from, spending him nearly forty yuan a day, and it was possible to do such an easy job for a week. Can a young man with nearly three hundred dollars come up with it?
Until Lao Liu looked at the rental house, he hadn't decided whether to have dinner or not. Neither advance nor retreat, if you don't eat now, you have to eat the food cooked by your mother-in-law when you go home, and the craft can only starve to death, how can the food in the restaurant be sweet and delicious.
When he looked up again, when he saw a figure under the light in the rental house, Lao Liu finally made up his mind and walked towards the rental house.
"At home, young man. ”
"Uncle Liu, come in and sit down for a rest, and I'll pour you a glass of water. Guo Xing let Lao Liu into the house and was busy getting up to get a cup and pot.
"Oh, boy, don't be busy, I'll go. Lao Liu sat steadily on the sofa and said with a little cleverness.
"It's okay, it's not too late for you to drink a glass of water, and you haven't been paid yet. Guo Xing pointed out the theme, and a knot every day can make honest people feel at ease. After all, at his age, he belongs to the type of hairy young man who is not good at work.
Lao Liu rubbed his hands and grinned and said, "Hehe, don't worry, don't worry." ”
One day human body notice publicity, at present, the effect is good, Guo Xing originally planned to be at most a week, now he has a new idea, Lao Liu is real, you can consider extending the display of the notice, and when you have saved enough money, consider changing places, the dilapidated rental house can not set off the majesty of the divine calculation.
"Uncle Liu, I'll give you today's expenses first, and the meal money will also be settled, you can calculate today's meal consumption. Guo Xing took advantage of Lao Liu's drinking water to go straight to the topic, and it is estimated that this is also something that Lao Liu is worried about.
Lao Liu put down the cup that was about to drink water, and said insincerely: "This ...... This, or a one-time knot in the future, save trouble. ”
"I'm not afraid of trouble, one day at a time, it's easy to settle accounts, I can't remember the province, so Uncle Liu loses money. Guo Xing took care of Lao Liu's face.
"Hmm...... Since the lad insisted, let's settle it on a daily basis...... Here's the receipt for the meal, you see. ”
Guo Xing took the receipt and looked at it casually.
"Uncle Liu, didn't you get a receipt for dinner?"
Lao Liu explained: "It's not that it's not open, I think it's over, I won't eat dinner, and it's the same when I go home." ”
Guo Xing understood Lao Liu's thoughts, honest people are embarrassed to eat after finishing work, for him, closing the work means the end of the verbal contract with Guo Xing. If he wants to eat, he will eat again after the start of work tomorrow, and he is also steady.
"Uncle Liu, three meals a day are agreed upon by us, you can eat with confidence. Guo Xing continued: "I will give you a total of forty-five yuan today, and the dinner money is also included." ”
After speaking, Guo Xing took out the money from the suitcase and handed it to Lao Liu.
"I can't count, I can't count, how can I ask for your money casually if I haven't eaten, I'll take forty yuan." Lao Liu couldn't say that he put five yuan in Guo Xing's hand, and there was no pretentiousness.
Just when Guo Xing wanted to say goodbye, Lao Liu handed over three yuan in change.
"Find another three yuan, plus the food cost is less than forty yuan. ”
From doubting Guo Xing's ability to pay to refusing to take advantage of it, Lao Liu is actually an ordinary person, cautious, but more honest and responsible.
Guo Xing was not embarrassed by Lao Liu's bottom line, thought about it and said: "Uncle Liu, let's do it, I'll give you forty-five yuan a day, and you can take care of your own meals, so it's easy to settle, can you think it's okay?"
As soon as Lao Liu heard this, this is the young man taking care of him openly and secretly, how can he disagree, but he gives too much, he loads and unloads people every day and the sky is less than fifty yuan, how can he easily earn so much money from the young man, absolutely not, he is also flustered when he takes it, money is not earned like this, if you don't work hard, you have to sweat, right?
But he just held up a sign today, and he can rest at will when he is tired, not to mention sweating, and the sun is not very dry.
Guo Xing doesn't think so, the effect of the first day was unexpected, he earned far more than Lao Liu, and paid less.
If he can't make money one day, he can talk to Lao Liu Ming, and he won't hurt his anger.
"Uncle Liu, if you pay, I will have income, you just listen to me, it's not early, go home early, you go directly to Baita Park tomorrow morning, go home every day and pass by me, and settle the wages by the way." Guo Xing finished speaking in one breath, and Lao Liu was not allowed to refuse, so he issued an eviction order.
Lao Liu said in his mouth, this, this, that, that...... was pushed out of the house by Guo Xing, and a sigh could be faintly heard.
No one should be here tonight, right?
……
Yang Linghua had just eaten dinner and was playing fortune-telling tricks with a deck of playing cards to kill time. When Guo Xing pushed the door open and came in, he didn't react for a while.
"Mom, it's me, don't you know me?" Guo Xing quipped.
Mother Yang Linghua looked at Guo Xing unexpectedly, "Why did you run back in the middle of the night?"
"It's just the middle of the night. Guo Xing smiled and took off his shoes, sat on the kang, picked up the playing cards, and learned the method of shuffling the cards of the gambling king.
"Two days ago, you came to the market and said that you won't be going home this week, why did you suddenly come back again?
Guo Xing laughed out loud and didn't speak.
Mother Yang Linghua continued: "You can have a few dollars for your manuscript, and you dare to boast about Haikou, and give you money before you leave tomorrow." ”
Guo Xing patted his chest and said: "Mom, you can relax, I now have the ability to provide for myself to study, today is homesick, come back and see, Ao is right, is there any leftovers? ”
Mother Yang Linghua slapped Guo Xing on the leg: "Put what you can, put more thoughts on studying, and submit articles or something, after all, it is not a long-term solution." With that, he got up and went to the kitchen.
Guo Xing's parents have little education, and the two have only studied for two years, in their opinion, taking the university entrance examination is the only way out, and it is also a bright road. Submitting this metaphysics is still relatively unfamiliar to them......
The next day, my mother went out early and went to the wholesale market to prepare for the day's work. Guo Xing left a note, put down 500 yuan and went back to the rental house.
On the morning of early autumn, it was cool and humid, the climate in the north was different day by day, and the rental house was deserted......
