Chapter 10 People always return to their roots
Seeing that Li Xia was in a bad mood, Zhou Duochun didn't dare to speak again, and silently started beside him.
After slowly gathering more guests and finding that Li Xia was not angry with her, Zhou Duochun finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Although Li Xia only prepared a pot of batter, and sold it cheaper than other cake stalls, it was her first time setting up a stall, and most of the employees ate it at the stalls of acquaintances.
By the time the peak of the morning and evening shift handovers has passed, Lixia's batter has not yet been used up.
"The office won't work until half past seven, Sister Duochun, I'm going to wait a little longer, why don't you go back first?" Li Xia glanced at Zhou Duochun next to him and asked as if unintentionally.
Zhou Duochun shook his head, he still has to move the coal stove later, it's not easy to do it alone, "I'll wait for you to go back together." ”
In this case, Li Xia covered her stomach and looked embarrassed, "Then, Sister Duochun, you can help me take a look at the stall." ”
Zhou Duochun nodded hurriedly and asked Li Xia to go back quickly.
Li Xia smiled gratefully at Zhou Duochun, and strode to the resettlement area opposite the factory.
In the past, this area was all farmland, but after the commune built a factory, this land was divided into a resettlement area, and the farmers who were demolished lived in this area.
Later, the expansion of the cotton weaving factory next to it, and the increase in the number of migrant workers and business people in recent years, the demand for rental housing exploded.
In order to increase their income, most families have added houses to the original foundation, and the originally scattered and orderly residential areas have now become a labyrinth of shantytowns.
The lanes are narrow and muddy, and in the narrowest places, only one person can walk sideways, and the alleys are full of lines pulled by households and clothes hanging.
Li Xia didn't go to the toilet at all, as soon as she walked into the alley and confirmed that Zhou Duochun couldn't see her, she immediately let go of the hand covering her stomach and walked quickly to the place where the rental notice was posted on the telephone pole.
As soon as Li Xia's figure disappeared, Wei Ye, who was helping Lao Wei collect the stall, put down the work in his hand and got up to leave.
"Brother Ye, where are you going?" Lu Dongming hurriedly shouted.
As a result, Wei also ignored him at all, and Lu Dongming looked at the old Wei who was resting on the side, "Uncle Wei, why are you going?" ”
Lao Wei raised his eyes and glanced at it, "You won't know if you follow." ”
"......" Lu Dongming silently twisted his face, if he dared to follow, would he ask here?
Lao Wei smiled, and suddenly made a straight face, "I heard that you went to bully other little girls early in the morning?" ”
In the morning, when he was busy at the stall, he heard others talk twice after he was busy, and he didn't bother to ask Wei Ye.
"Harm, the newcomer, it's just a matter of setting up a horse, and it's not easy to manage in the future." Lu Dongming touched his head embarrassedly, and subconsciously stepped back, afraid that Lao Wei would knock him on the head with a big spoon.
How can they be considered bullying, it's just a couple of words, the real bullying is like this, just pick up the stall, for the sake of the face of the two little girls, he is already very gentle.
Besides, I only went to their stall to eat two bites for face, and other families begged them to go, but they were too lazy to go.
But my brother ate the little girl's cake, and they will cover the stall in the future, right?
But Brother Ye said that he had a grudge against that girl's father?
"Dumb, why don't you go along and have a look?" Lu Dongming stabbed Chen Minxing, who was silent next to him.
When the little girl got up, Brother Ye stared, and as soon as the person entered, Brother Ye followed in, and he didn't believe that Chen Minxing was not curious.
Chen Minxing glanced at Lu Dongming, stacked the polished chairs on the table with neat movements, and continued to wipe the next one, ignoring him at all.
Lu Dongming, "......"
"Minxing is much smarter than you." Lao Wei smiled, got up and took off his apron, "Okay, close the stall." ”
……
There are rental advertisements everywhere in the resettlement area, some from a year ago, and some with new ones, all of which indicate the conditions of the rooms and the prices at a glance.
Li Xia picked a household with the middle of the rental conditions and price, and ran to the door of the courtyard to hang around, when she arrived, there were already people in the courtyard looking at the house, and there were people moving.
"Eldest sister, there are so many things, I'll help you." Li Xia saw that there were many things that were moving, so he smiled and stepped forward to help lift the tricycle.
She is a little girl, well-looking, cleanly dressed, with a smile on her face, it is still easy to win the trust of others, and the eldest sister who has worked hard to move was stunned for a moment, and then accepted her kindness.
Li Xia wanted to sell her family's house, because of the existence of the Zhou family and Yang Wangxiang, she had no way to go to the town to post advertisements, so she could only use this most stupid method to run to the resettlement area to wait for the rabbit.
While moving things, Li Xia listened to the conversation with his ears pricked up, and inquired with the eldest sister who moved from time to time.
"Where can I afford a house?" The eldest sister who moved laughed innocently and only asked Li Xia to help her with the small luggage.
"Little sister, do you see, there is a room with the sun on the second floor of this courtyard, and it costs five yuan a month for a room, and we have to move over now, only three yuan, but there is no sun, but there is a place in the yard to put things for us, which is better than here."
Most of the people who come here to do business are outsiders, but there are few locals, they follow their relatives to come, and the money for business is borrowed, and they have to live a careful life, and they can save money by renting a house.
"Even if you want to buy a house, it is to earn money to go back to your hometown to buy, and the leaves fall back to the roots, do you say yes." The eldest sister said with a smile.
That's the reason, Li Xia sighed slightly, didn't she still think about finding out the truth about her father's death in her last life, go home to tidy up the old house, and go home to live and support the elderly.
There weren't many things, but they were moved in a few clicks, and the eldest sister thanked Li Xia and left on her tricycle.
The tenant here didn't talk about it, it seemed that the landlord's room was a little small, and there was no place to put things in the yard.
The person who rented the house is gone, and Li Xia can't stay any longer, after all, it's a fresh face, and Zhou Duochun can't let her wait too long.
In order not to make Zhou Duochun suspicious, Li Xia gritted his teeth and went to the public toilet to stand for a minute.
The resettlement areas are all built with public toilets, which are densely populated and there are no special sanitation personnel, so the environment of public toilets can be imagined.
When Li Xia returned to the stall, there was still a faint smell on his body, "The toilet here is too dirty, I finally found one to enter, and there was a long queue." ”
Zhou Duochun was not suspicious at all, she had also been to the toilet here, and she didn't want to go to the second time in her life.
"Come on, I'm not frying well, and few people buy it." Zhou Duochun hurriedly handed the spoon to Li Xia.
Seeing that Li Xia did it easily, Zhou Duochun thought that pancakes were very easy, but it was not easy for her to make them herself.
Not to mention that she can't do a spoonful of a standard round cake like Li Xia, just the heat is a problem in front of her.
Zhou Duochun is also good at cooking, and pancakes are no problem, but she can't fry them until they are as yellow and beautiful as Li Xia, and the thickness is even.
As soon as Li Xia got his hands on it, the cake was round and beautiful, and the number of people buying it gradually increased.
After selling out, the two went home together.
