Chapter 82: Strange Old Man
In the study, Qian Mo was in a meeting.
"It needs to be particularly clear that we want to choose a tea picking girl, and tea picking is the main body. At first glance, it doesn't look like a tea picker with another purpose to join in the fun, and the first round will be screened out! Qian Mo said.
"There are already hundreds of people who have signed up for the election, not counting the relatives who came with them, and if a large number of people fail to be elected, I am afraid it will cause disgust." The head of the coffin bone buttress said.
Qian Mo nodded, "That's the case, there will definitely be a large number of people who are unsuccessful, for those who are not elected, let them know that as long as they are willing to stay, there must be other ways to make a living." β
"The inn has been full recently, and the east side looks like a big place, but in fact, there are no houses left when you really rent it out."
"To the east... Send more guys to inspect the law, let the store make as much profit as possible, and don't make any trouble. β
"Yes..."
On the east side of the river, Shui Sheng's father stood at the head of the bridge, waiting for passers-by to ask for directions.
"Uncle, do you live nearby?"
"Yes, the one next to the jujube tree is."
"Good luck to you who have come to apply for the tea picker, my son is working in the mansion."
"Uncle is so blessed!"
"Hahaha..."
The aquatic father was very happy, so he beckoned one away, and when he turned his head, there was another one beside him.
"Well, do you want to eat or stay at a hotel?"
"Revisiting the old place, I haven't come back for many years, and it's still so lively." An old man with a gray beard and hair.
"It's only been lively in the last few days, and it used to be cold and deserted here, and it was not easy to go out at night."
"Oh," the old man stroked his beard, "the scenery has not changed, but the country sound is gone." β
Daddy looked up and down, "You used to live in this area?" β
The old man didn't seem to listen to his aquatic father, and took care of himself, "In my dreams, I often come back here, running endlessly on the bluestone road, and the willow trees on the shore are endlessly falling poplar catkins. It's going to rain, the clouds are pressing on the roofs, and the fish are jumping out of the water and exhaling..."
Shui Sheng Dad followed the old man, "Old man, you used to live here. β
"Who's the old man! I'm not yet at the age of not being confused, you are the old man! The old man got angry and looked at the river to see his face, "Time is too cruel to me... Yes, I am a dead man..."
The aquatic father wondered if he had met a nerd.
"Tea plantation! My family's tea plantation! I'm going to apply for tea picking too! β
"Tea picking only recruits female workers, and only little girls, little girls..."
"Little girl?"
"Yes, little girl, it's fate for the two of us to meet, let's go, I'll invite you to drink a pot of tea in the teahouse."
When he arrived at the teahouse, the old man sat down.
"You two beware of the tea!" The shop guy served tea.
"Recently, this area of houses has been in short supply, the inn has long been full, I can't find a place to live, my family still has an empty house, my son works on the ship and sometimes does not come back for the night. The guys in the Tsubaki family mansion are busy! β
"Tsubaki family!" The old man took the case.
"Yes, yes, the Tsubaki family..."The aquatic father was a little embarrassed, probably too show-off.
"Are you also surnamed Tsubaki!" The old man pointed his nose and scolded, attracting everyone's attention.
"I don't have a blessed surname, I'm also from outside, just a guy from the Hazel family."
"The Tsubaki family has a group of foreign villains who are greedy for wealth and wealth, so they have never been defeated."
"Hey! I invited you to drink tea, but you scolded me, yes, count me unlucky, this pot of tea is mine, you drink it! Shui Sheng Dad patted the tea money and left angrily.
I crossed the bridge and smoked for a while by the river, and as soon as I looked up, the nerd was beside me.
"How much does a night at your house cost?" Is fifty dollars enough? β
"Enough... Enough..."Daddy Shui put away his cigarette pouch and led the way.
Arrived at the small courtyard of the house.
The old man looked disdainful, "What a taste, it's the same as a pigsty." β
"The yard is fertilized every day, probably because it smells a little."
"Oops!" The old man waved his hand to leave.
"Come on, you don't look like a decent person, don't dislike it. Fifty dollars, I'll give you a bowl of hand-rolled noodles. β
The aquatic father pulled the old man into the house. Make a fire and cook, "Where are you going?" Looking for a job in the land of the house? β
"What kind of land is the cherry, it used to be called 'Huazhuang'!"
"Oh... If you are familiar with it, then I will not take the axe in the door, a few years ago, I brought my son here to beg for food, and now my son is out of work. I have a good errand, and I am also blessed, I have a yard to live in, and I have spare money to drink tea. β
"Hmph... rob people's property and give it to their subordinates, and make people die. The Tsubaki family has been like this for so many years. β
"Hey... Do you have a grudge against the Tsubaki family? "Aquatic dad kneades dough with great force.
"In the past, my people lived in this generation, planting tea, picking tea, roasting tea, and selling tea..."
The aquatic father stopped what he was doing, and then looked at the old man, except for the white beard and hair, the facial features were not old. β
"What's your last name?"
The old man suddenly became cramped, "I... I... My surname is Mu..."
"The Mu family?"
"No, no, no... My surname is Liu, my surname is Wang, and my surname is Zhang..."The old man stood up, hugged his burden, looked panicked, and ran out.
"Hey... Ay... I don't eat the noodles" Shui Sheng Dad was a little disappointed, he couldn't earn fifty dollars, but that's it, what did a nerd bring to the house.
