1049 Science Fiction: Five Years of the Last Days (4)

He can only move the electric tricycle faster, and also buy more time for his countdown.

At noon in the university town, there were not many pedestrians on the streets, so that Gu Zheng's tricycle, which was not too small, could drive back to the narrow alley belonging to the water station smoothly.

Hearing the sudden sound of the three jumpers, the proprietress of the water station poked her head out in surprise, wanting to see this old Gu who only knew how to bury his head in carrying water, why is the efficiency of this one so high, dozens of buckets of water, he only went out for more than half an hour, and this is all delivered?

But who would have thought, when she looked at the back of the parked tricycle, her face, which was not short, drooped, and the dissatisfaction in her heart was said without thinking about it.

"I said Lao Gu, you're not right, our orders are all in the next long time, you just delivered less than half, why did you drive the car back!"

The proprietress muttered and was about to babble a few more words, trying to let the silent water delivery man know his mistake, but she only felt that it was so quiet around here.

When she subconsciously raised her head, she was frightened by Gu Zheng at this time, the distorted expression on his face and took a step back.

It's not that the proprietress is careless, it's really Gu Zheng's expression is too terrifying.

The expression of pain, anger, and anxiety, almost collapsed, like a hungry ghost climbing out of hell, made people shudder.

How difficult it must be for an honest person to show such an expression, it was at this glance that the horrified proprietress shouted loudly into the house of the small water station.

"Lao He, Lao He, He Mozi, you come out for me!"

"Hey, hey, come on, what's wrong with my daughter-in-law, what's wrong?"

The store manager, who was still carrying the empty barrel inside, ran out of the store in a puff of smoke during this miserable call.

And this door followed and saw the painful face that belonged to Gu Zheng as if he couldn't breathe.

"Oh, oh my mother, my daughter-in-law, my daughter-in-law, what is this!"

The male and the female called out together.

The noisy made Gu Zheng's continued performance unaided by a flaw.

It wasn't until these two people finished shouting in a group that they remembered and asked Gu Zheng tremblingly: "Old Gu, what's wrong with you?"

"What's so difficult? Are you feeling unwell? So why don't you have a day off today?"

Gu Zheng shook his head slowly, and said the first decision he made in a low tone: "No, boss, there is a little urgent matter at my family, and I want to resign." ”

"Can you help me settle this month's salary?"

After saying this, Gu Zheng squatted on the ground with a puff, inserted a pair of big hands into his hair irritably, and grabbed them like crazy.

The couple, who originally wanted to refuse, said that his sudden resignation was too unruly and brought special trouble to the normal operation of the water station, but they couldn't say a word.

Because of the state of taking care of Zheng, let alone finishing the remaining days of the month, that kind of irritable state, as if the couple dared to say a word, I am afraid that tonight, he will be able to burn this small shop to the ground.

This made the store manager and his wife frightened, and they wanted to send away this dangerous element who was on the verge of explosion as soon as possible, so that they could rest assured.

Therefore, the proprietress who made a decision wiped her wet hands with the apron around her waist because she had not had time to dry them before cooking, and kept walking to the inner room of the small shop.

While walking, he comforted Gu Zheng, who was squatting at the door of the store, trying to make him not to go out in advance during the time period of settling wages.

"I said Lao Gu, no matter how urgent things are, let's take our time, you still have so much luggage in the store, you can pack it up while I calculate your salary." ”

"This saves a lot of time, you say yes, Lao Gu. ”

The proprietress said so, but she was quick to run under her feet, and in a short time she rushed to the back of the only table in the store, opened the central drawer, and took out the handwritten payslip.

Under a row of handwritten numbers, a calculator crackled and counted.

Gu Zheng has been working for twenty-five days this month.

And this unusually hot weather has also brought good business to the water station.

He has already set a new career high with a horrific delivery of 100 barrels a day.

It's a pity that this kind of day will end here.

Gu Zheng's happy cooperation with them will be terminated from today.

Thinking of this, the proprietress moved a little faster.

Their water station has been able to develop to the scale it is today, thanks to the help of such a down-to-earth and hard-working old Gu.

Although Lao Gu didn't say a word, just looking at this appearance, I am afraid that something big happened to his family.

Think about it again, Lao Gu once said when he was chatting in the store that his hometown was only left behind with an old mother who was not too old......

I'm afraid it's her old man......

Thinking of this, the proprietress pressed the counter for a moment, and after seeing the value that had already been calculated, she secretly pressed a clear button, silently changing the 7 at the beginning of the total number to eight.

Then he shouted in the direction of Gu Zheng, who was packing up his things on the marching bed in the house.

"Lao Gu, the money is calculated, originally I couldn't pay the full basic salary if I couldn't work for a month. ”

"But it's not easy for everyone to think that we've been working together for so long after all. ”

"I won't tell you about the few hundred dollars. ”

"But I can't give you the remaining 75 yuan of the subsidy!"

"When you're done packing up, come to the little table and take a look, and if that's right, sign the payslip. ”

"I'll also refund you the deposit for the bucket. ”

This shrewd proprietress has to order the number of buckets every time she delivers water, and Gu Zheng has been holding a deposit of two hundred for a long time here.

As for Gu Zheng, who stuffed the last piece of luggage into the snakeskin pocket in the house, he once again put on his sad face, and with a little wry smile, he turned around and responded: "Hey, it's here!"

Then he carried the huge sack over his shoulder, looked around the place where he had lived, turned away without a trace of nostalgia, and went straight to the direction where the small table was.

Lying there lay a crumpled payslip, on which a final figure was scribbled down crookedly with a pen.

8375

This is Gu Zheng's salary this month.

As soon as Gu Zheng saw this value, he was subconsciously stunned for a moment, and then a slightly honest smile appeared on his face, and he asked in the direction of the proprietress: "What, why are there so many this month?"

The stunned proprietress didn't expect Gu Zheng to react like this, she subconsciously asked: "What's the matter, you will naturally take as much as you have done this month, and you can take as much as you want, and I can still take advantage of your few dollars?"

The strength of that fierce voice, not to mention how empty it is.

But Gu Zheng, who saw this, was warm in his heart, this woman who had to fight with him for a long time even for two yuan on weekdays, and would nagging for half an hour if there was an extra scratch on the electric bicycle, showed the kind and soft side of her heart at this moment.

made Gu Zheng, who was used to seeing the indifference of this city, couldn't help but pick up the corners of his mouth.

But the wife who stood behind the proprietress was strict and He Mozi didn't know the wit.

He just felt that his daughter-in-law seemed to have gone too far today.

Nowadays, it is not easy for workers to come out to beg for a living, so why bother to deal with this old Gu who is about to be separated with cold words.

Thinking of this, He Mozi didn't know where to get the courage, and when the words of the proprietress fell: "Hurry up and get the money for people, settle it and let Lao Gu leave!", he pulled the drawer, took out ten of the bundles of old coins that had been sorted out quite neatly, and took advantage of the time when the proprietress turned around to clean up the rice pot on the stove, so he stuffed the rest of the money into an old envelope and stuffed it into Gu Zheng's arms at a very fast speed.

"The money is here, just right, isn't there something going on at home?"

"Hurry up and get busy with you! If it's done, we, the Fisherman's Mountain Spring Water Station, will always welcome you back. ”

"Remember, if you can't help it, come to my brother. There is no such thing as being rich and rich, and I can still find you a job to eat with your strength. ”

After speaking, He Mozi patted Gu Zheng's shoulder, and as if he remembered something, he squatted under the table with a bent down, and dragged out two bowls of bucket noodles from the somewhat old cardboard box.

He smiled a little embarrassedly: "We've known each other for so long, and I don't know how long Lao Gu will take you to go home on the train." Do you need to order food? ”

"You can take these two buckets of noodles, you need money if something happens at home, so it's a little bit to save a little. ”

This is very intimate, which is very in line with the character of He Mozi's good man.

made Gu Zheng, who came to this world for the first time, inexplicably feel that this couple is too suitable for his eyes.

Since what I know is only a little bit of clues, but for their sake of treating them well, there are some things that should be reminded to say more.

So, Gu Zheng took the two bowls of noodles very gratefully, and then hugged the other party's shoulders in He Mozi's unbelievable eyes, and reminded the other party with a seriousness that he had never had before.

"Boss, you are a good man, I want to tell you something before I leave. ”

"The weather has been so unusual lately that I listened to it when I went to deliver water in the apartment area of the Hongjing Lido in front of me. ”

"It's said that there will be a once-in-a-century catastrophe next. Prices are definitely going to rise. ”

"I think it's okay, no matter what, it's always good to buy yourself some easy-to-store daily consumables such as grain, oil, rice and noodles. ”

"What if it's really like when the flu came a while ago, the pharmacies in the entire capital city couldn't buy banlangen. ”

"That's spending a lot of money to buy a loss, how distressing, don't you say?"

Because what Gu Zheng said was too true, He Mozi, who was listening, nodded very approvingly.

After realizing that the other party really recognized his reminder, the most sincere smile appeared on Gu Zheng's face.

He let go of the hand on He Mozi's shoulder, waved his arm in the direction of the proprietress who had already started to serve the meal, and strode out of the door, heading straight for the school campus where Gu Feifei's cheap son was.

As for the proprietress who walked to the desk and looked at the cash, the merciless slap was ...... What happened to He Mozi's face at once?

Of course he didn't see it.

If he saw that He Mozi, who had always been smiling, was crying and chirping at his daughter-in-law at this time, accusing the other party with inexplicable eyes, he would definitely be unable to hold back his joy.

Hearing the sentence: "What are you doing to give so much money! You fool!"

"I've added it to him, you're still pretending to be generous!" roared, maybe he wanted to come back and swing around the arch fire twice.

It's just that now he has arrived outside the gate of the College of Industry and Commerce, sitting in the guard room at the gate of the school, waiting for the concierge uncle here to let him in to confirm whether there is really a student named Gu Feifei who is going to school here, not this person who looks like a scavenger and intends to use this excuse to enter the campus to pick up the rubbish.

Even after receiving this kind of treatment, Gu Zheng's face was unusually calm.

He sat in the middle of the small gatekeeper's guard, with his large snakeskin pocket under his buttocks, but he was as sure as he was sitting on the throne of an emperor admired by all people.

There was no crampedness on his face, but he showed the Xiaomi mobile phone that his son had eliminated from his arms to the staff of the two security offices around him to watch, further indicating his identity and improving the efficiency of the other party.

"What I said is true, you see this is my son's number, and now I've called him. ”

"If he hadn't answered all the time, I wouldn't have bothered your security comrades, wouldn't I?"

"But there is really an urgent matter in this house, just waiting for him to give a word!"

After saying this, Gu Zheng sighed, and the rustic feeling of an old father arose spontaneously, which made the senses of the young men sitting around him complicated all of a sudden.

In his hometown, there seems to be an old man like him, waiting for their return with the same expression and tone.

If you can see your own son, that kind of happy affection is undoubtedly revealed as if it were substance, and it is inexplicably sad.

And it was this emotion that turned the little impatience of the young man who had increased his workload because of Gu Zheng's appearance into sympathy and understanding.
