Chapter 106: Embarrassed
When Zhang Guilan arrived in the city, she went straight to the hardware store in the shopping mall, the pliers and nails used for decoration, as well as the rags for cleaning, spent five yuan and five cents scattered, and the small things were packed in pots, and the others were directly carried like mops, and then she went back to the rented store.
More than 40 square meters, Zhang Guilan only used one morning to clean up, the old lady left a single person to be able to disassemble, covered with wooden boards, Zhang Guilan first cleaned up the back of the hut, dismantled the single bed and moved it to the back room, stepped on the bed to wipe the glass of the back window, the back room cleaned up, only to wipe the front room, since it is to sell clothes, there must be a shelf, Zhang Guilan cleaned up, noon has passed, so I don't eat, lock the door and inquire about the place of carpentry, and look for the past.
Zhang Guilan wants to do a hanger, she remembered the drying rack used in her previous life, you can hang the clothes directly on it, it is also novel to look at, when Zhang Guilan found the carpenter, she simply drew the picture with her memory, the carpenter is a mute, living alone, I heard the neighbors say that his father was a well-known carpenter, and then died, leaving a little mute.
Fortunately, the little mute can read, and strangers can write when they communicate with him.
After Zhang Guilan drew the hanger, she said, "Actually, the two of us can work together to make a drying rack, and I will buy the materials at my expense, and you will select the materials and do it, and I will sell it after making it, and we will make five or five cents of the money." ”
Nowadays, wood is cheap, and the drying rack is made to be applicable, and as a person who lives in a building, he will find it convenient to buy one.
This was also an idea that Zhang Guilan suddenly came up with.
The little mute nodded again and again when he heard it, and wrote with a pen, "Twenty-eight points." ”
Zhang Guilan smiled. "It's just five-five, this thing is new. But if you sell one, someone will take it and learn to do it. So let's do more before we start selling, so that we can also earn a sum of money, five or five shares, you are alone, save money to marry a daughter-in-law. As for the future, as long as someone takes this look and asks you to do it, you can still earn some manual money at that time, and you will not be idle. ”
The little mute kept pulling Zhang Guilan and disagreeing to divide it into fifty or fifty, but he was persuaded by Zhang Guilan in the end. He should also make some clothes hangers and trouser clips for Zhang Guilan, and Zhang Guilan left him ten yuan for him to buy wood, and then left.
Seeing that it was not early, Zhang Guilan rushed to the passenger station, but she didn't expect to meet Milan and Milan's mother and son Zhuang Juan on the bus, and the two of them were sitting in the back seats of the bus.
As soon as Zhang Guilan got in the car, they also saw it, and embarrassment flashed on Milan's face, so that Zhuang Juan enthusiastically asked Zhang Guilan to sit next to her, "Guilan." It's a coincidence that we met you here, Milan and I heard that you and Jijun have returned, and we are going to see you. ”
"Where did my aunt say this, we were juniors. If you want to see it, we also look at you, but the relationship between the work of the army and the relationship has gone to the field, and it is not at home. That's why I haven't had the time to see you. Zhang Guilan told her the truth that Luo Jijun was not at home. You don't have to go.
Zhuang Juan was shocked when she heard this, "Went to the field?" What time did it happen? ”
Milan can't afford to be shy. stared at Zhang Guilan tightly.
Seeing that their mother and daughter didn't look like they were pretending, Zhang Guilan replied, "I left yesterday." ”
Zhuang Juan was a little disappointed when she saw that she was not lying, "Why did people leave in such a hurry, and they didn't even meet in person." ”
It sounded like a man was dead.
Zhang Guilan didn't like to listen to it, this time Luo Jijun said that he was transferred to another place, but she knew best what was really going on, although she was not superstitious, but at this time, such bad words still disgusted her.
"In the army, it is natural to listen to the state, and the state should go wherever it is told, and it is the duty of a soldier to obey orders." Zhang Guilan said righteously.
Zhuang Juan smiled wryly, "Since Jijun is not at home, then we don't want to go, I originally wanted to go to your house to see, I came to the city, and there are no relatives to walk around, after all, if you come out of a village, you can often move around." ”
No profit can't afford to be early, Zhuang Juan is such a person.
After the people of the Mi family moved to the city, the house was rented, and it was still very cheap in the bungalow area, only thirty yuan a year, just relying on the old book, it was not a way, but now it is too difficult to find a job, and the place is not familiar, there is really no way to stay in these days, and the only thing the Mi family thinks of is Luo Jijun.
Luo Jijun can find such a good job for Milan, so it must be easier for them to find an ordinary or even temporary job, so in desperation, he came to Luo Jijun hard.
It's just that I didn't expect to be cheeky and have the courage to come over, and I didn't even see anyone, Luo Jijun actually left.
"It's okay, I originally wanted you to sit at home, but you just moved in, and I want to come to the house and have a lot of things to do, so I won't let you go and sit." Anyway, it's all pretending, and Zhang Guilan is also in place.
Zhuang Juan tugged at the daughter beside her, "Let's go, let's go back." ”
Milan stood up in a daze, nodded at Zhang Guilan after coming to her senses, the mother and daughter got off the bus, Zhang Guilan moved inside and sat by the window, just in time to see the Milan mother and daughter walking not far away.
It was Hu Youguo who stopped the two of them from talking, and he couldn't hear what they were saying, but Hu Youguo looked very excited, Milan kept his head down, and only Zhuang Juan was talking to Hu Youguo.
Zhang Guilan didn't want to look more, so she retracted her gaze, and at this time, the bus also started, leaving the affairs of Milan's family behind.
In the passenger station, Hu Youguo looked anxious, "Auntie, I have already found a good job for you and your uncle, my uncle is guarding the gate in our factory, there are fifteen yuan a month, on the night shift, now I can only do this, after a while, I will find someone to transfer him to the day shift, my aunt can pick vegetables in the canteen of the factory, only pick noon vegetables a day, the factory provides one meal, ten yuan a month, can you see if it's okay?" ”
Although this job is only temporary, the working hours are less, and the income is less, but it is okay, Zhuang Juan smiled from ear to ear, "You kid, how can you be so troublesome." ”
"No trouble, no trouble." Hu Youguo secretly glanced at Milan, and when he saw that Milan's face was much better, the smile on his face became bigger, "Auntie, why did you come to the passenger station?" ”
Hu Youguo also came here to run errands, and only then bumped into the two Milanese mother and daughter, and he was quite surprised, but he was in a hurry to tell them about his work to make them happy, and he remembered to ask this.
Zhuang Juan lied to the diligent, "Isn't this Milan causing Luo Jijun to be suspended?" I didn't have time to say anything in the village, so I thought about going to his house, but when I got to the bus, I thought about it again, and it was embarrassing to go, so I got down. ”
directly took the responsibility on himself, not mentioning that he met Zhang Guilan and knew that Luo Jijun was transferred to other places.
"So that's the case, I've always wanted to admit my mistakes, but I didn't go." Hu Youguo did not mention that he had been to Luo's house, let alone that he knew that Shouluo Jijun had been engaged to Milan.
He didn't say it, Zhang Guilan didn't mention it, and she didn't tell Luo Jijun, except for the two of them, no one knew about it, and it was naturally impossible for Milan's mother and daughter to know it, so the Milan mother and daughter tried their best to hide it, but they didn't know that Hu Youguo knew about it.
"Forget it, the past is over, and it has nothing to do with you." As soon as she heard that Hu Youguo was going to admit her mistake, Zhuang Juan was nervous, and hurriedly led the words back, "As soon as you look at it, I will trouble you to find a job, go to the house to eat at night, and Auntie will cook you something delicious." ”
"Then I'm not polite, I'll buy groceries." Hu Youguo stammered while taking the initiative to buy vegetables.
Milan was pulled by his mother, reluctantly following behind, Hu Youguo followed Zhuang Juan in front, as long as Zhuang Juan got it, he would pay immediately, without the joy of Milan, to make the disgust on Milan's face more and more heavy.
When Milan's mother and daughter went home with Hu Youguo carrying the vegetables, Zhang Guilan also arrived home, and when she came back this time, she didn't meet Jiang Zhi, Zhang Guilan breathed a sigh of relief, and finally took care of her face.
After opening the door, I washed my face first, cleaned myself, and then went into the kitchen, took out half a bowl of noodles and stirred up some pimple soup to solve dinner, washed my shoes before lying on the bed, and the things in the store were almost done, just waiting for the drying rack to be made.
Now what I have to do is to make more small underwear and clothes to be displayed in the store, and I have to go to the city to apply for a business license, scattered and scattered, obviously I feel that there is nothing to do, but there are still a lot of things to do, fitting room, and a mirror to look at people, these are waiting for her to be busy.
On the other hand, I thought of Luo Jijun, it has been three days since the day I left, should I get to the place? Do you already know that Sun Mei now? And what if they developed feelings in the army?
I don't know when I fell asleep, and when I woke up, it was already dawn.
On this day, Zhang Guilan did not go into the city, but found paper and pen to draw underwear and clothes on the paper, did not learn clothing design, Zhang Guilan can only according to the appearance of the previous life, think of some generous and suitable for wearing now to draw out, and wait for herself to buy cloth back and try to make it.
Before she knew it, noon had passed, and she even forgot about lunch, or someone knocked on the door outside, and she was shocked to realize that it was already noon, and it was Yang Zongguo standing outside the door.
Without waiting for Zhang Guilan to ask, Yang Zongguo handed over a letter, "Jijun is gone, I helped him get this month's salary back, brother and sister take a look." ”
Zhang Guilan didn't look at it, "If you look at it, it will trouble you." ”
is a lonely man and a widow, Zhang Guilan is not good to let him come in and talk again, last time he was still helping to carry things, and he was rumored to be like that.
Yang Zongguo also knew how to avoid suspicion, "Okay, then brother and sister are busy, I don't have anything to do." ”
Yang Zongguo glanced at Zhang Guilan, turned around and went downstairs.
Bringing the door, Zhang Guilan glanced down at herself, her face turned red as soon as she banged, she forgot to put it on her coat, she was only wearing a vest, although the hurdle vest at this time was very conservative, but she still showed two big white arms outside, and I don't know if Yang Zongguo would think too much, and it would be embarrassing to meet in the future.
