Chapter 106: Good Intentions Blurred
In December of the lunar calendar, approaching the end of the year, it is the peak season for merchants to sell goods. Kang Yurong also wants to catch this peak point to see if he can revive the store's business. In this way, the decoration of the store is imminent.
Time was tight and Kang Yurong couldn't afford to delay, so she went directly to the store after school in the afternoon.
Kang Yurong walked in, and the things in the store were all packed up, leaving only an empty room frame.
There were two men in the shop, sweeping the floor and chatting about the idle day. Seeing Kang Yurong come in, one of them put the broom to the side, walked over quickly, and said respectfully, "Miss Kang, you are here." ”
Kang Yurong took a closer look, it was Lao Liang who moved the box to the fourth sister-in-law's house last night.
This Lao Liang is a guy who was recruited by the fourth sister-in-law to do chores when she opened the store, and Kang Yurong had only been to the store once before, so he didn't know him.
"Master Liang, why are you here?" asked Kang Yurong.
Lao Liang said: "Mrs. said that she doesn't have time to stay here all day long, so let me come here to keep an eye on it." I'm familiar with the area, and if you have any problems, I can help you run errands. ”
Kang Yurong nodded and said, "Okay, then I will have to trouble Master Liang in the future." ”
Lao Liang said: "You are polite. Just call me Lao Liang. As he spoke, Lao Liang turned around and waved his hand to call another man: "Come on, come on." ”
The man was about the same age as Lao Liang, dressed in black coarse cloth clothes and pants, and his dark face was full of the vicissitudes and humility of the low-level people.
Seeing that he was called, the man trotted over and stood next to Lao Liang.
Lao Liang said to the man, "This is Miss Kang." ”
The man nodded and shouted, "Miss Kang is good." ”
Kang Yurong smiled lightly and nodded.
Lao Liang introduced to Kang Yurong again: "Miss Kang, this is Li Fortune for decoration. ”
Kang Yurong asked, "Master Li, are you alone?"
Li Fortune replied, "No. There are five people in our team, and if there are special circumstances, we can add people temporarily. ”
"Oh. Kang Yurong replied and asked, "Has Master Li renovated a Western-style building?"
"I've pretended, and most of the past two years have been doing this kind of work. Last year, the small western-style building of Boss Yang's house in Tongzheng Yarn Factory was made by us. Li Fucai said truthfully.
"Yes, it seems that Master Li has a lot of experience. ”
Li Fucai smiled modestly and said: "I can't talk about rich experience, but you can rest assured, we will do our best and never be sloppy." ”
Kang Yurong said: "With Master Li's words, I am really relieved." ”
Because the time was too tight, Kang Yurong didn't have time to draw detailed drawings at all, so he only took out the sketches he had drawn in the afternoon, sometimes pointing at the sketches, sometimes comparing and drawing in the room, and told Li Fufu his thoughts.
After a while, when Kang Yurong had almost finished speaking, Li Fufu said: "I already know what kind of effect you want." Buy materials tomorrow morning, and start work in the afternoon. ”
Kang Yurong said: "Because of the rush of time, I may not be able to draw specific drawings. But it doesn't matter, from tomorrow onwards, I'll be over every day at noon and in the evening, and if there's any problem, we can solve it in person. ”
"Okay. Li Fufu nodded in response.
After a while, Kang Yurong said again: "I want to finish it at the end of the month, and the time must be a little tight, so I guess you will have to work overtime." But don't worry, I won't lose you in wages. As for whether or not to add more manpower, you can think about it yourself. Master Li, do you think so?"
"Cheng, Cheng. Li Fufu agreed repeatedly.
"Alright, that's it. That's it for today, I'll go back first, and you guys should lock the door and go back early. ”
There are two flowers, one on each branch.
When Kang Yurong was comparing Li Fufu in the store, Ke Mulan was turning into the alley, and saw a black car parked at the door from a distance, and a man standing next to the car didn't know what he was talking about, and Qing'er was next to the man, drooping his head like a little kid who had done something wrong and was being trained.
Ke Mulan's eyebrows immediately became a pimple, and he ran over anxiously and shouted, "Qing'er." ”
Qing'er raised her head and saw Ke Mulan, stretched out her arms, grinned, and ran over to Ke Mulan: "Uncle Ke, you're back." ”
Ke Mulan bent down, picked up Qing'er, and walked to the man.
Qing'er tilted her little head and said to the man, "My Uncle Ke is back, are you relieved now?"
Ke Mulan looked at the man and asked vigilantly, "What's the matter?"
The man saw that Qing'er and Ke Mulan's intimacy was not pretending, and thought that Qing'er said that he was a family with this Uncle Ke or something, it should be true.
So, I told the truth: "I am Mr. Kang's driver Lao Chen, Miss Kang wanted to go to the store to help, so my wife asked me to come over to pick up Young Master Qing'er back to Kang's house, but Young Master Qing'er had to wait for Uncle Ke." We've been waiting here for half an hour, and I'm afraid that Mr. and Mrs. will be worried, so I'm persuading Young Master Qing'er to go back with me. ”
Kang Yurong went to her fourth sister-in-law's shop to help, Ke Mulan also heard Kang Yurong say last night. Therefore, I also believed Lao Chen's words.
Ke Mulan said: "I'm Ke Mulan, since Qing'er doesn't want to go, and I happen to be back, then let Qing'er follow me, you can go back." ”
Since this is the case, Lao Chen no longer insisted on it, and drove back to hand over the errand.
At the beginning, under the banner of "in case of emergency", Ke Mulan forcibly asked for a key to Kang Yurong's house. Of course, for the sake of fairness, he forced Kang Yurong to accept the key to his house.
Therefore, even if Kang Yurong is not there at the moment, he can open the door and enter.
Ke Mulan opened the door and asked Qing'er, "Why don't you go to your uncle's house?"
Qing'er replied: "My mother went to help my fourth aunt, and I stayed at my uncle's house alone, I would be very restrained." Besides, it's not much fun to be at your uncle's house, so it's better to be with you. ”
Ke Mulan smiled: "What if I have to work overtime today?
Qing'er said: "I don't know, anyway, I don't want to stay alone at my uncle's house." ”
Ke Mulan looked at the small figure walking into the house and laughed silently.
Entering the house, Qing'er took a sip of water, and then began to write her homework on the dining table. Ke Mulan went into the kitchen to prepare dinner.
Coming out of the shop, Kang Yurong went directly to the fourth brother's house. Not too far away, she walked over. When I entered the door, I realized that Qing'er had changed his hexagram and didn't come.
The fourth sister-in-law was bent on staying with Kang Yurong to eat, but she remembered Qing'er in her heart, briefly talked about the things in the store, and went out.
Seeing that her sister insisted on going back, Kang Yujian no longer forced her to stay, and asked Lao Chen to drive back.
When he got home, Kang Yurong got out of the car and thanked Lao Chen, and after watching the car leave, he turned around and knocked on the door.
It was Ke Mulan who opened the door, looking at her: "I'm back." ”
Kang Yurong said "um" and entered the door. Ke Mulan plugged in the door bolt with his backhand, and the two entered the house together.
Looking at the food on the table covered with plates, Kang Yurong couldn't help but ask, "Haven't you eaten yet?"
Qing'er said, "Wait for my mother to be with you." ”
Ke Mulan followed up and asked, "Have you eaten it?"
Kang Yurong shook his head and said, "No." ”
"Isn't that right?" Ke Mulan replied with a smile.
Ke Mulan took the bag in Kang Yurong's hand and helped her hang up the scarf and coat.
Kang Yurong rubbed his hands, turned to look at Ke Mulan and said, "I guess I'll be back late in the next few days, so don't wait for me." ”
Ke Mulan took a step forward, looked at the woman waiting, hooked her lips and smiled, and asked, "Then will you come back to eat?"
The man who was close at hand, the gentle smile on his lips, Kang Yurong's mind flickered, he forgot to think, and just subconsciously followed the meaning of his words and said, "Yes." ”
"Then we'll wait for you. Ke Mulan took another step forward, lowered her head, put her lips to her ear, and said softly, meaningfully, "No matter how late it is, I will wait." ”
Kang Yurong heard the hidden meaning of his words, and his face turned red.
Ke Mulan looked at the woman's face that was redder than the sunset, and was in a good mood, if it weren't for Qing'er's little light bulb, he would definitely ...... Well, it will.
Patting Kang Yurong on the shoulder, Ke Mulan said, "Go wash your hands and eat." ”
Qing'er really didn't want to go to the fourth brother's house, so Kang Yurong was not reluctant. Fortunately, during this time, Ke Mulan was able to get off work on time, so it was up to him to pick up Qing'er from school.
The renovation of the store went smoothly, except for some small defects, there were no major problems.
Kang Yurong supervises and guides every day, although Li Fortune and his subordinates are rough little people, but they are diligent and delicate in their work, and they are serious, even if they get up early and work overtime, they have no complaints.
Thanks to their hard work, the store was completed two days earlier than expected.
In this way, under the guidance of Kang Yurong, the original dull and dull old Chinese-style store was replaced by a simple and fashionable European-style dress shop.
When people walk there, their eyes light up and they can't help but stop and watch.
At Kang Yurong's suggestion, the salesperson in the store was replaced by a beautiful young girl. Let them put on the clothes in the store, and usher in what is sent, that is, a living sign.
Everything in the shop is ready, and the school is starting to get busy. What is the business in the shop, Kang Yurong has no time to pay attention to it.
When Kang Yurong hears the news of the fourth sister-in-law's shop again, it will be the time for the Chinese New Year, and the whole family will return to Baoding.
As soon as the school was over, the second elder of the Zhang family asked Qing'er to take Qing'er back to the Zhang family. In any case, Qing'er is a surname, so Kang Yurong has nothing to say.
is divorced, and this year must be spent in the Kang family. What is different from the past is that looking at the bright lights and lively appearance of the house, Kang Yurong actually felt the taste of the New Year that he hadn't felt for a long time.
It's just that the laughter in the hall can't hide the tension in her heart.
Because of going back this time, Ke Mulan is going to have a showdown with his family.
I don't know, what about him?
