19. Reply and laugh

Time passed in the blink of an eye, and when Chang An saw Jianguo again, Jianguo was already standing in front of the restaurant with a large bag of things.

When Chang An saw the founding of the People's Republic of China, he immediately greeted him enthusiastically.

"Brother Jianguo, you are here, come in and sit. ”

Jianguo shook his head and rejected Chang An's kindness.

"Give me what you're going to bring, I've got to catch the train. ”

Hearing this, Chang An hurriedly ran back to the restaurant and quickly climbed up to the attic of the restaurant. When he came down again, he had an extra stuffed envelope in his hand.

Handing the envelope to Jianguo's hand, Chang An scratched his head a little embarrassed.

"I don't know what to buy for my family to go back, Brother Jianguo will help me bring the money home. ”

Jianguo took the money from Chang An's hand, carefully stuffed it into the deepest part of his duffel bag, and then said to Chang An: "Don't worry, I will definitely send it to you." ”

In fact, at this time, the bank already has the business of remittance in other places. However, the 1% fee is still prohibitive for most part-time workers.

Most of the migrant workers in this era value money very much, and would rather let their fellow villagers take it home than let the bank collect their wool.

Although it is often heard that a certain villager disappeared with someone else's money, everyone seems to be happy with this kind of behavior of entrusting his fellow villagers.

Jianguo was in a hurry to catch the train, and Chang'an didn't stay too much.

Seeing Jianguo's figure carrying a large bag disappearing from sight, Chang An turned around and returned to the restaurant.

At this time, it was not yet eleven o'clock in the morning, and Wang Cheng went out to buy and had not returned.

After Chang An cleaned up in the restaurant for a while, he thought of going to the post office to see if his family had replied to him.

After Wang Cheng came back on the tricycle, Chang An quickly moved the vegetables on the tricycle into the kitchen without waiting for Wang Cheng to say hello.

After everything was settled, Chang An said to Wang Cheng.

"I want to go to the post office to see if my family has replied to me. ”

Wang Cheng then remembered what he had asked Chang An to write home before, so he waved his hand lightly and asked Chang An to go back quickly.

In this way, Chang An rushed all the way to the post office, and when he arrived at the door of the post office, Chang An was already a little out of breath.

This is Chang'an's second visit to the post office and the first time to pick up letters from this place.

Chang An, who didn't know the operation process at all, ran straight to the counter of the post office and asked the salesman at the counter.

After the salesman asked Chang An's name and address, he went to a filing cabinet behind him and rummaged through.

After a while, the salesman handed an envelope to Chang An.

"See if it's yours?"

Chang An took the envelope and glanced at it, and nodded hurriedly.

Coming out of the post office, Chang An couldn't wait to open the envelope.

The words on the letter paper are very messy, and Chang An needs to make every word hard.

But the words on this letter seemed to have magical power, which unconsciously made Chang An's eyes wet.

The handwriting on the letter Chang An recognized that it was written by his eldest sister who dropped out of school in the second grade of elementary school. The content of the letter also has some preambles and afterwords, but Chang An still understands the general content.

The letter said that after Chang An ran away from home, the family was going crazy. Chang An's father heard from others that he saw Chang An go to the town, so he borrowed a bicycle and ran back and forth to the town seven or eight times. Chang An's mother also washed her face with tears every day because of Chang An's running away from home. Now knowing that Chang'an is in Shenzhen, the family is relieved.

Chang An just stood at the door of the post office, reading the eldest sister's parents word by word.

At the end of the letter, Chang An's eldest sister mentioned it. Chang'an's father has found the construction team organized by the town to go south to Shenzhen to work, and he should be able to visit Chang'an in Shenzhen in a month.

Seeing the news that his father was coming, a trace of guilt rose in Chang An's heart.

He didn't know how his father, who had never left town, had the courage to come to Shenzhen, but he knew that his father had come to Shenzhen not just because of his part-time job.

The letter was carefully folded and tucked into the pocket of his shirt that was attached to his chest. Chang An wiped the tears swirling in his eyes and walked towards the restaurant.

By the time Chang An returned to the restaurant, the restaurant was already overcrowded.

This situation is no longer strange for Chang'an, after all, every day when it comes to dinner, there will always be a few late people squatting at the door of the restaurant with a bowl of steaming noodles to eat.

Most of the people who came to eat at the restaurant were regular customers, Chang An greeted everyone with a smile, and then went into the kitchen to help Wang Cheng.

Wang Cheng, who was busy in the kitchen, hurriedly stuffed a bowl of noodles into Chang An's hand when he saw Chang An coming back.

"Go and bring this bowl of noodles to table two. ”

After a busy day at noon, Chang An cleaned the restaurant as usual.

And Wang Cheng was still holding his teacup and browsing some strange magazines.

"Did you get a reply from home?"

Wang Cheng looked at the magazine with interest, and asked Chang An without raising his head.

Chang An, who was cleaning, heard Wang Cheng's question, looked up, and hummed softly.

Wang Cheng took a sip of hot tea and gently flipped the page of the magazine.

"Do a good job, and when you get mixed up, you'll go back, and don't learn from me. ”

Chang An smiled.

"What's wrong with learning from Brother Wang, isn't this restaurant just Brother Wang's final say?"

Hearing this, Wang Cheng raised his head and looked at Chang An, and closed the magazine in front of him.

"Alas...... You'll find out later. In Shenzhen, people like me call you the manager no matter what you call the boss. Even if I have the final say in this restaurant, it is for someone else. ”

Chang An nodded as if he didn't understand. He knew that there was a boss in the restaurant, but he couldn't understand the difference between Wang Cheng and the boss in the restaurant.

If he couldn't figure it out, he simply didn't want to, and Chang An continued to start his own sanitation and cleaning work.

Just as Chang An finished cleaning the floor and was about to clean the kitchen, a few uniformed people suddenly walked in.

The leader looked at Chang An, then at Wang Cheng who was sitting on the side, and then said in a deep voice: "From the police station, take out all the temporary residence permits." ”

Chang Anxin secretly called it a fluke, but fortunately, Wang Chunsheng had a temporary residence permit for himself a few days ago.

Together with Wang Cheng, he handed over the temporary residence permit to the leader, and Wang Cheng knocked a loose cigarette that he had been reluctant to smoke and handed it to the man.

"Comrade, both of us have temporary residence permits, no problem. ”

The leader glanced at Wang Cheng, who was smiling all over his face, and smiled.

"I now suspect that the temporary residence permit in your hand is fake, and one person will be fined five hundred, otherwise he will go to the police station with me for a few days. ”
