Chapter 247: The Old Man
Happy past twenty-three, the store is busier.
Of course, there are not as many people as usual for eating, but Xu Ying and Zhang Ru are not light, because they began to prepare for the New Year and made preparations for the New Year.
On the twenty-fourth day, Xu Ying wrapped herself very tightly, not strictly, no, the sky in Heibei is too cold.
If you don't cover it tightly, you'll be frozen into a popsicle after going out for a while.
Xu Ying is going to buy frozen goods today, ready to buy a few sacks of frozen pears, frozen flower reds, frozen persimmons, and send some to relatives and friends, and the people in the store also share some each, and keep the rest for their own family to eat.
Because she wants a lot, she goes to the commercial city wholesale to buy it, so it can be much cheaper.
Liu Mingda has to go to work and can't accompany Xu Ying, but there are a lot of tricycles for delivery at the gate of the commercial city, and Xu Ying is not afraid that he won't be able to get it back.
Xu Ying asked the prices of several houses, and looked at them from house to house, the prices of each one were not much different, and the goods were basically the same, but the quality was still somewhat different, and Xu Ying wanted to find a good one.
For example, it is also a flower cover pear, some of them are very delicious, delicate, and they are sweet and fragrant when you inhale them, but they taste very coarse when you have a little, and they have no taste at all, and they are not sweet or sour.
Xu Ying didn't know why, but she thought it was the time of freezing, and the freezing was different, or maybe the pears were still different.
Xu Ying was optimistic about the family, and talked to the boss about the price, and the boss saw that she wanted more, so he gave Xu Ying a cheaper.
"Hurry up and move, why are you so grinding! I said I don't need you, women just don't have the strength of men, if you rub it again, I don't need you, I'll hire a man to move the goods. ”
The shopkeeper yelled at the people who were helping to move the goods.
Actually, I don't blame him for this. The New Year is the time when they are busy, and the volume of goods is very large, and it takes two strong people to move the goods. He was going to hire two men, but one of the women came to look for a job, and several families didn't want it, he saw that the other party's body was very thick, and he came out to find strength to work, it must be that the family was having a hard time, so he agreed as soon as his heart softened.
But after being recruited, he regretted it a little, this woman looked so strong. I can't stand up to a man in terms of work.
Although this woman felt that she had put a lot of effort into herself all day long. It's also exhausting, but it's not a lot of work, and the young man who worked with her has already given his opinion. The boss was a little thinking about a replacement, but he wasn't particularly patient.
"That's good."
The woman bowed her head and answered. Then go and move the bag.
Xu Ying glanced at her. A brown scarf is wrapped around his head. He had a neck sleeve around his neck, his face was covered, and his facial features could not be seen.
Wear a thick padded jacket. The padded jacket is very dirty, and you can't see the original color anymore.
The lower body is black cotton pants, and the feet are black cotton shoes, and the pants and shoes are dirty.
"Don't be in a hurry, move slowly, just take less at a time."
Xu Ying was very kind and did not urge.
The woman raised her eyes and glanced at Xu Ying when she heard Xu Ying speak, before she only cared about work, and didn't look at who the person who bought the goods was, but now when she saw it, she was stunned and blurted out: "Xu Ying, it's you!" ”
Xu Ying was stunned, the other party actually knew herself, and she didn't seem to know such a person. In addition, she couldn't see the other party's face, and the other party's voice was a little hoarse, and she didn't hear who it was.
"You are?"
Xu Ying asked, since he called his name, he must know himself.
"I, I ......"
The other party said to me twice, but sighed and said, "Forget it, I'm nobody, I don't know you." ”
She bent over the bag on the floor.
Xu Ying grabbed her, she could guess who it was by listening to the voice, but she wasn't sure.
"Look, I said I don't know you."
The other party was a little angry, and grabbed his neck with his hand to block his face and prevent Xu Ying from seeing it.
The shopkeeper was a little strange, but one was his own customer, and the other was his own hired person, and he shouted, "Why don't you talk to customers?" If you can't speak, if you provoke the guests, you should be careful. ”
"Don't yell at her!"
Xu Ying saw the boss shouting, the woman she was holding hurriedly lowered her head, she couldn't bear it, and shouted at the boss.
"Yes, yes, you talk, you talk."
The shopkeeper hurriedly smiled, the other party was a big customer, he didn't want to offend, anyway, the other party was not afraid of delays, so let them go.
"Let me see."
Xu Ying's tone calmed down again.
"Just look! I'm not unsightly, look, now you're satisfied, you laugh at me, I'm not as good as you. ”
The other party jerked down the scarf, revealing her face.
That face was darker than Xu Ying's first time, and she also looked older, because of the wind, her face was pruning, and it was distressing to look at.
"Lin Zhi'er, Sister Zhi'er, aren't you in the hospital? How did it end up here? ”
Xu Ying didn't recognize the wrong person, the other party was Lin Zhi'er, who had been fighting with her since the first day she went to the hospital, and later helped her on the bus, and reminded her that later, in Liu Mingda's case, Lin Zhi'er also helped a little, Xu Ying hadn't seen her for a long time, but I didn't expect to meet her here today.
"Why am I here! It's not because of you. ”
Lin Zhi'er looked angry.
But after saying this, she seemed to be deflated, and said in a low voice: "Actually, I don't blame you entirely, I can be regarded as self-inflicted." ”
"Sister Zhi'er, don't say that, what's going on? Can you talk to me? ”
Xu Ying pulled Lin Zhi'er's arm, to be honest, she didn't like Lin Zhi'er very much at the beginning, if you want to say how bad Lin Zhi'er is, she is a person who talks a lot and likes to talk about people's rights and wrongs, so she is not on the right path with Xu Ying, but she also has a good side, at least she can help Xu Ying in the car that time, which makes Xu Ying unexpected.
"Hey, it's because you went to the hospital to look for me that time, Sister Hongmei's stinky thing went to the vice president and sued me, and the vice president punished me at that time, didn't let me stay in the hospital, let me go home, and said to my sister-in-law, let me and them sue you, saying that you take money to buy me, my sister-in-law came back and told me, if I don't want to join them, she will let my man don't want me, you also know that I came from the countryside, my dad is gone, and the family life is not good, no one supports me, I have no status at home, It's all what they say, I listen to it, but I just don't like you, but let me say that, let me go to jail with them, let me go to jail with them, I still can't do it, so I hummed and chirped, thinking that when the case is over, I'll be fine, but my sister-in-law is angry and looking for trouble at home, my mother-in-law scolded me, and my man beat me and said he was going to kick me out. ”
Lin Zhi'er let out a long sigh when she said this, with a trace of memory and pain on her face, and gloom in her eyes. It's sad to watch. (To be continued......)
