Chapter 14: No Virtue

"Shopkeeper, I haven't seen her since I went out."

"Shopkeeper, there are too many people outside, and I didn't find the little girl."

"Shopkeeper, that little girl is walking too fast."

"Phew!" Tuesday slapped himself hard, "The little girl walked too fast", this reason is estimated to be as soon as it is said, the shopkeeper will chop his leg and feed the dog! He lowered his head, moved back to Xinghualou step by step, and walked to the counter again: "Shopkeeper, I'm lost." ”

After speaking, he subconsciously shrank his neck, and he didn't scold his head? Could it be that the shopkeeper is really angry, and he wants to roll up and get out?

He gritted his teeth, raised his head and closed his eyes, and said loudly: "Shopkeeper! Give me another chance! As long as I see that little girl, I will not let her go! ”

"Who won't you let go?" Someone said slowly.

"It's the little girl you asked me to follow!" Tuesday blurted out, but stopped suddenly, this voice is not the second shopkeeper......

His head that had just been raised slowly shrank again, wishing that there was a thick shell that could wrap him tightly, and he opened one eye and peeked at the bottom of the counter, wanting to leave, but his legs couldn't move. wanted to stay, but his little courage ran away without a trace before him.

He bared his teeth and tried to smile so that all the teeth that could be exposed came out to bask in the sun. "The big treasurer! You're back! With his hands raised high, he stretched to the ground, and with his grinning smile, it was like a wild monkey in the mountains who had become a spirit, and it was indescribably funny.

"Okay, it's really grown." The big shopkeeper of Xinghuafang is a man of about fifty. The second shopkeeper in the store is his own brother, but Yiqiē grows in the opposite direction from him.

The big shopkeeper's complexion is slightly dark, his round face is short, compared to the second shopkeeper's usual appearance like a vulture in distress, the big shopkeeper is like a smiling beckoning cat.

On weekdays, when this beckoning cat is in a good mood, even the guys in the store can joke with him.

If you catch up with him and be in a bad mood, he will instantly become a white tiger with hanging eyes, and the guy who has made a big mistake will be able to shed his skin without dying.

At this time, Tuesday couldn't figure out his own fault, in the eyes of the big shopkeeper, what level of mistake was it. Therefore, it is even more apprehensive.

"Tuesday," said the shopkeeper at last, as Tuesday was pondering an excuse to sneak away.

Tuesday immediately straightened his back, and the big shopkeeper didn't say anything just now, and he didn't dare to straighten his waist, so he was so dry. At this moment, from the shoulders to the waist is faintly sore, it seems that the rumors are true.

The shopkeeper tapped his fingers on the countertop again and again, and Tuesday felt that the sound seemed to be his own heartbeat.

Tuesday was uncomfortable with him, and he didn't dare to leave without permission. Busy with a smiling face said: "Shopkeeper, listen to me, just now the second shopkeeper asked me to chase a little girl." I was so anxious that I went before I heard a reason, no, no one chased me, so I had to come back to receive the punishment. ”

Tuesday said a few words lightly, thinking that his words would be round, who expected the big shopkeeper to smile after hearing it. "Tuesday, you don't have to come tomorrow."

"What?" Tuesday blinked.

The big shopkeeper no longer paid attention to him, and only casually played with a purple sand teapot.

"Hey-yo--," Tuesday raised his hand and slapped himself in the face, and said with a smile: "I don't see the shopkeeper coming back and I'm happy, and there's nothing else on my mind." ”

The big shopkeeper squinted at Tuesday, "Is there anything else?" ”

"Don't you just say it! The little girl that the second shopkeeper asked me to chase seemed to be looking for a job to do. ”

What an early morning mischief! The two shopkeepers are all in love with this little girl!

"Hmm."

"Also, Steward Zhang is also back."

"Hmm."

"The second shopkeeper asked you to chase the little girl, but he didn't say anything?"

"Say something?" Tuesday quickly recalled what happened before he went out.

"Go, follow me with that little girl. Idiot, look at what I'm doing! It's the little girl who came to look for work just now, and she went east! He vividly learned the tone and demeanor of the second shopkeeper, for fear that if he made a mistake, he would lose his job in Xinghualou.

A few guys passing by couldn't help but sneer under their breath.

"Alright, alright." The big shopkeeper also wanted to laugh a little, but he had a little headache.

"The big shopkeeper, that little girl seems to say--what a fragrant almond flavor." On Tuesday, I saw a smile on the face of the big shopkeeper, and I couldn't miss the busy news.

"Almonds? Could it be ......" The big shopkeeper suddenly recovered, found his gaffe again, waved his hand and said, "Well done, go to the backyard to rest." ”

"Yes!" Tuesday was happy and didn't know what to do, the mood was like swinging rattans on the mountain when he was a child, high and low, a person who was not careful could fall to death, but in an instant he felt that he could go straight into the sky.

Just when he went to the backyard in a daze on Tuesday, the second shopkeeper who was sent out by the big shopkeeper had just returned.

Seeing his eldest brother's uncertain face, the second shopkeeper thought about it for a while, and understood that the eldest brother should have known the general process of the whole thing.

"Brother, there's something I was just going to tell you."

After all, they have grown up together since childhood, and the moment the second shopkeeper stood at the door, the moment he hesitated made the big shopkeeper understand what his younger brother was going to say.

"Goodness, I'm not here for the past two days, you've worked hard."

The two shopkeepers of Xinghualou were originally remote people from Chen Guo and started from scratch. Murano Shanfu, the name is also catchy, originally "Wu Da, Wu Er".

Later, because of this difficult name, he was unwilling to spend money to ask Mr. to name him. Therefore, I found a guy who could read a little bit and wrote down the words that were easy to remember and sound. The two of them then choose one of them that is pleasing to the ear.

Therefore, now, the big shopkeeper of Xinghualou is named: "Wu Houde", and the second shopkeeper is named: "Wu Liangshan." ”

The name is a good name, but with the ordinary actions of the two of them, he was more and more ridiculed by the owners of other restaurants as "no virtue, no goodness", and became a nickname of "lack of virtue ghost". It was called the whole Langjing, but Fan laughed with more or less literacy and hyphenated words. And the illiterate one, after listening to the explanations of others, laughed more and more.

At first, the two of them were annoyed for a while when they first learned that their names were so shocking, but they found that because of this name, everyone's curiosity was aroused, and even more people came to patronize the restaurant, just to see the true faces of the two. He will be wrong and will be wrong, and there will be no more thoughts of changing his name.

At this time, Wu Liangshan heard that Wu Houde did not call himself "second brother", but called himself by his first name, and knew that something was wrong. simply picked up Wu Houde's words and said: "Where is the eldest brother, the eldest brother works weekdays, and I just sit back and enjoy the success." ”

Wu Houde was more useful when he said this, he put down the teapot in his hand and walked out of the counter.

"There's a little girl here today?" Wu Houde said straight to the point.

Wu Liangshan was stunned, he didn't think about who leaked the news, he had already known that there were a lot of boss's eyeliner in this store, but he didn't expect the news to reach the boss's ears so quickly.

Fortunately, I didn't hide anything first.

He cleared his throat and looked left and right, "It's not a big deal, so I didn't tell you." ”

Having said that, his body leaned forward slightly, and whispered a few words in Wu Houde's ear.

"Oh?" Wu Houde frowned and looked at Wu Liangshan with some surprise.

"Follow me." Wu Houde thought for a moment, then walked towards the backyard with his hands behind his back.

Wu Liangshan hesitated for a moment, and then quickly followed......
