Chapter Twenty-Eight: Sifang Town (2)
As soon as I heard someone's voice, I secretly frowned.
Looking back, it was really Zhang Xu.
He walked straight over and said to Ji Yayun very excitedly, "Why didn't you tell me in advance that you were coming here?" He nodded at me.
Ji Yayun said a little uncomfortably: "Oh, we also decided to come here temporarily. Why are you here too? ”
Zhang Xu smiled: "Didn't I tell you that I'm working on wood now." No, seeing that the river will open in less than two months, I made a special trip to see how the preparations are going here. ”
Ji Yayun looked at me, looking a little puzzled.
My heart moved, and I smiled at Zhang Xu: "There are also mountain farms around here?" ”
Zhang Xu said: "Where, you have to go more than 30 miles to the east." No, it's too late today, so I can only stay here first. ”
After speaking, he smiled at the sister-in-law of the Wei family behind the counter: "Eldest sister, I'm here again!" ”
The sister-in-law of the Wei family also smiled, "Okay, your eldest brother and I were still chattering last night, thinking that this might be because the snow is too big and delayed you." As he spoke, he winked at him.
Zhang Xu waved his hand, "How can it, don't talk about snow, even if it is a knife, I have to come!" Well, it's still as before, okay? ”
"Okay, okay!"
The sister-in-law of the Wei family turned to us, but she looked a little embarrassed, looked at me, and then looked at Ji Yayun, and tried to ask, "Are you two two?" ”
"What do you mean?" Tang Yi joked, "What's the matter, you still have to check the marriage certificate when you live here?" ”
"If you bring a good look, I'll really blast you out without a certificate!"
The sister-in-law of the Wei family gave him a blank look, "Seriously, these two, and those two, are they a family?" ”
Seeing that Zhang Xu's gaze turned to me intentionally or unintentionally, and then looked at Ji Yayun with a look of no claim, I said to the sister-in-law of the Wei family:
"Sister-in-law, are you not easy to arrange?"
The sister-in-law of the Wei family clapped her hands: "No." Brother, you also saw it, my store is such a big place, and it is only five rooms when it is full. I'll have one room with your eldest brother, and the other three will go out, so there's only one kang left. ”
This time, Dou Dabao also heard what was going on, Zhang Xu didn't come alone, and he brought a man and a woman. The man was the driver who picked him up at the airport, and the woman was about 30 years old, with an average appearance, a fair complexion, and a tall figure.
Dou Dabao said: "Eh, I said sister-in-law, your store is not big, but you can also score first come and come first, right?" Did we come first? ”
He has a straight temper, and he has been on fire for the past few days, so his tone is not very good.
The sister-in-law of the Wei family was also unconvinced, and immediately raised her broom eyebrows.
Without waiting for her to speak, Zhang Xu suddenly smiled and said, "They are all acquaintances, can you still quarrel about this matter?" Hehe, in this case, just give us two rooms. I'm with Amu, isn't this the end of it? What a big deal. ”
I hurriedly said, "Thank you then." ”
The sister-in-law of the Wei family is right, this is a hotel, which is not quite the same as the ordinary hotels in the city. Because there are not many people who come and go to stay, and the heating depends on the stove and the ondol, there are only five bungalows that can accommodate people.
followed the sister-in-law of the Wei family to the back, and as soon as she entered the house, Dou Dabao stuck out her tongue and said, "This time it's really profitable!" Hey, Mom, this big kang, ten people can sleep. ”
Tang Yi said to me a little apologetically: "I'm sorry, few people come here all year round, and there is not even a standard room, so two ladies can only live in one, and the four of us have a kang." ”
I grinned, "No, don't, I'm not used to sleeping in a Chase bunk." You guys and Pan Pan can make do in this house, let Pan Pan sleep on the kang, and I will sleep with Yayun. ”
Saying that, he carried his luggage, pulled Ji Yayun and walked out.
When I went out, I saw Zhang Xu standing at the opposite door and looking this way.
I directly pulled Ji Yayun into the next room and closed the door tightly.
This room is small and clean. I said to Ji Yayun in a big anger while taking off my big hat:
"Hurry up, let's try if this kang is hot."
"Oh, don't make a fuss! This kang is not on fire, and you are not afraid of freezing. Ji Yayun glared at me.
"Hehe, didn't I see that you didn't have a cold to that oil gourd, and deliberately let him die for you. Not to mention, this house is more comfortable than that one. I'm really not used to sleeping in the bunk, or we can squeeze together at night, I promise to be more gentleman than a gentleman. ”
"You don't have a serious time." Ji Yayun glanced at me again, "By the way, I also think Zhang Xu is a little too much now." According to what Brother Tang said, it is so difficult to open to traffic here, how can he come here to collect wood. ”
I said, "As you saw when we came, the road was difficult to walk, and the technique was a little poor, so we had to drive the car into the ravine." Even if the oil gourd wants to reconnect with you, if he can really risk his life to chase you here, then I really suggest you consider it. ”
"Tsk, are you finished? You're not going to make me angry, are you? ”
I hurriedly surrendered: "Gotta gotcha, it's me who is talking far away." I mean you're rare and weird. The mountain farm is a forest farm for logging. In the mountains of the northeast, where the main road leads, the felled timber is transported by car. In places that are not open to traffic, it is still the same as before, using the method of putting rows, that is, the timber is tied into rows and transported to the designated place by water.
Therefore, he said that the river would be opened in two months, and he would go to the mountain field to inspect it, and this statement was true. It may not be what you think, going to the soup for you. But then again, it is said that there are still two months before the river opens, and there is no need to rush to the mountain field for a few days. So, maybe there are elements that want to chase you. Anyway...... Just take it as half and half. ”
Ji Yayun was packing up his clothes, but when he heard this, he turned around and said, "How did he know that we would come here?" ”
I laughed, "Then you'll have to taste it yourself." ”
……
There is no telephone in the town, and there is no mobile phone signal, so the sister-in-law of the Wei family did not expect that so many people would come to live in the hotel, burning the kang room by room, and it would take some work.
We were not used to the cold, so we simply put our luggage away and went back to the front.
Zhang Xu and his party were in a similar situation to us, and it happened that Wei Dana, the owner of the hotel, came back from outside, and Zhang Xu said that he was the east, and asked Wei Dana to quickly pick up some specialty dishes and scald a few pots of soju.
He and Ji Yayun are old classmates who haven't seen each other for a long time, and in this case, it is inappropriate for Ji Yayun to refuse again.
Vidana was a little different from what I imagined, less than fifty years old, not tall, thin-faced, and didn't seem to like words much.
His hands and feet are very sharp, and it doesn't take much time to bring a few cold dishes first, which are nothing more than cucumbers, fried peanuts and the like.
When it snows, it seems to be getting dark early, and many people in the town have nothing to do, so they can only eat and drink in groups to relieve their boredom. So by the time the hot food came up, there were already two more tables of guests in the restaurant on the first floor.
Zhang Xu saw that the two tables were greeting each other, and asked Ji Yayun very carefully if he was used to it, if he was noisy, he would move to the back room to eat, anyway, the kang was also burned, and it was a big deal to let the sister-in-law of the Wei family light a brazier.
I said no, there were a lot of people.
Sifang Town has arrived, but the Nine Leaves Inn has not yet landed. Take this opportunity to get acquainted with the people here first, so that it is convenient to find someone to investigate.
Although Zhang Xu is a southerner like Ji Yayun, perhaps because he is doing business in the Northeast, his temperament is also a little refreshing, and the weather is really cold, so except for Pan Ying, who has not touched the wine, we all drank some wine, among which Dou Dabao and Zhang Xu drank the most.
I knew that Dou Dabao's heart was on fire, and when I saw that he was drinking so red-headed and swollen face, I just wanted to persuade him to drink less, but suddenly a person ran in against the wind and snow outside.
As soon as this man entered the door, he shouted with a panicked face: "Oh no, I see a big white face!" ”
