I thought this was the end of the matter, but I didn't expect that on the morning of the third day, Lao Ma ran to our shop in a hurry, and asked Zhang Genhuo and me to quickly pack up our things and go with him.

"Where are you going?"

The old horse came over and patted me on the shoulder, I almost broke my bones on the spot, he said: "Young man, in view of your excellent performance a few days ago, after careful consideration in the organization, your performance has met the minimum standards of the hall master, and now the newly opened hall in Yangliu Ancient Town is yours, how about it, are you happy?" ”

I said: "What's there to be happy about, I'm good here, I fish in troubled waters every day, and when something happens, there is a hall master, I'm going over there, I have to carry everything myself, I'm not so stupid." ”

Probably the old horse thought that I would happily accept it, but who would have thought that I would answer him like this, and be stunned for a while.

He muttered, "No, you're still the first to refuse, you rabbit cub has a sick brain, right?" When the hall master, a shopkeeper of the hall, don't you be tempted? The commission is very high! ”

I said stupidly: "What's so rare, it's just a name, besides, the commission I earned a few days ago is enough for me to spend comfortably for a while...... Oops! ”

Before I could finish speaking, the old horse kicked me in the ass and scolded, "You can't be a thing!" If you want to go, you'll go, so much nonsense. ”

Who knew that at this time, Zhang Genhuo also came up and said: "That's it, big brother, why don't you have any ambition at all, people go to high places, alas, they really can't support the wall." ”

Anyway, he actually set me up with the old horse, they are tall and big, for a time I can't even touch the ground, just kicking weakly in the air, if others see it, they will definitely think this scene is very funny, I am very embarrassed.

"Hey! Where are you from your uncle, hey! You put me down, you are robbing! Feed! Is there anyone to help me! Feed! Robbed the people in broad daylight! Feed! Will you be gentle? My clothes are still in the shop! Oops, I'll go! ”

I was screaming and the two of them threw me into the car, and I hit my chest on the seat, holding me out for a moment.

After Zhang Genhuo got into the car, he said: "Big brother, the bank card in your pocket is enough for you to book a clothing store, do you still care about those clothes?" ”

I couldn't get out of my sulk, so I turned over and gave him a pop directly, scolding: "Old clothes aren't money?" Do you understand the spirit of hard work and simplicity, idiot! ”

He could see that I was really angry, so he didn't answer me, but muttered quietly, "Scrooge......"

Anyway, I was already pressed into the car, so I simply stopped struggling, took out a cigarette, and just lit it, but was snatched by the old horse.

"This is a BMW, I am reluctant to smoke on it, do you have any quality?"

I sighed and squinted helplessly in my seat, I didn't want to see the two of them assholes.

After about an hour, the car slowed down and steady, and I opened my eyes to find that we had driven into a neighborhood that looked actually quaint.

"Get out of the car, don't let you go in."

The old horse couldn't help but say that he drove us out of the car.

I looked around and there was this antique building next to the very modern street, which looked out of place with the surroundings, and the building was fenced off to prevent cars from driving in.

There is a big sign next to the street that reads: Yangliu Ancient Town.

I couldn't help frowning and asked, "Didn't you say go to the newly opened hall?" How do you bring us to the scenic spot? ”

Lao Ma didn't answer, with a look of "follow me, you'll know", and went straight through the fence, Zhang Genhuo and I had no choice but to follow.

Passing through the fence, there was a street paved with bluestone slabs, and the antique building was on my right, and I finally saw its façade.

The four-story pavilion, Zhu Yongbi tile, although intentionally antique, but the new red paint and green tile betrayed his age.

I shook my head and smiled, "This is also a scenic spot?" ”

Go further, it suddenly becomes lively, all kinds of shops are lined up, basically selling antique calligraphy and paintings, the same is an antique building, wooden doors and windows, with the big trees on the bluestone street that shade the sun, there is a sense of comfort.

There are also some small vendors on the street, mostly selling some food and kites, and at this time several teenagers are sitting under the trees, holding drawing boards one by one, as if they are sketching.

I instantly felt that this place was a little cute, so I pointed to the rows of antique houses and said, "Old horse! The master is starting to like it here, let's say, which is my shop. ”

The old horse smiled but still didn't speak, still moving forward.

When I got to the end of the street, I saw a big river in front of me, and there were some boats wandering in the river.

Turning a corner, there are fewer and fewer people, we come to the old alleys of the staggered place, these alleys should indeed be some age, the green bricks on the ground are a little broken, and the surrounding walls are also a little peeling off.

After turning several corners, I finally came to an alley called "Renyi Hutong", Lao Ma came to the first house in Renyi Hutong, took out the key from his pocket, and after opening it, he motioned for us to enter.

I was a little dumbfounded, hesitated, and asked, "Isn't it an open door?" What about the façade? ”

The old horse said a little reasonably: "This is it." ”

I said, "This, this, this is too shabby, isn't it?" Look at the shops on the main street, how do you tell me to do business in the future? ”

Lao Ma patted me on the shoulder, and said earnestly: "Now Sanbaozhai is tight, in order to save costs, it can only be in this kind of place. ”

I knocked off his stinky paws and said, "Don't tell me about financial constraints, Sanbaozhai is financially tight, you fool the ghost?" I don't care, I want a shop on Main Street, you can change it for me now. ”

Lao Ma Zhengse said: "Comrade Zhang Gensheng, I now find that your thinking is extremely dangerous, you don't always look at the problem from a material point of view, I need to correct it in time, you must understand that you are now in the trial operation period, not only will the organization not allocate you manpower, even this shop is trying its best to get a drop, you want a good façade is not impossible, make achievements first!" ”

I spread my hands and said, "Is that negotiable?" ”

The old horse didn't answer, and his expression was obvious: What do you say?

I held my head in my hands, walked directly into the yard very leisurely, and said, "It doesn't matter, the little master will not open, I will retire here!" I think it's good to care for the elderly in this small place. ”

Lao Ma said again: "Ao, I forgot to tell you, the monthly rent of this yard is two thousand and a half, which will be deducted from your salary." ”

I almost fell and shouted, "What?!" Is Sambao Zhai poor and crazy? Do you even want me to pay the rent? ”

At this time, Zhang Genhuo ran in from outside, holding a ripe pear cake in his hand and asked me if I would eat it, I pushed him away, and said in my heart If it weren't for you stupid boy, could I run here?

Zhang Genhuo looked like "do you like to eat or not", which made my gums hurt with anger.

I simply ignored them and looked around the yard.

It's really a small courtyard, with a total of three main rooms, a side room, a toilet, and nothing else in the courtyard.

I paced around and looked at the rooms, which were small enough to be used as storage rooms. The main room is two bedrooms, and the middle one is a living room, and all the rooms have been neatly arranged, in addition to the necessary tables and chairs, there is also a counter and a rocking chair in the living room, which I liked.

Overall, it still looks like a home, and I am suddenly relieved that I have been homeless for almost two years.

Suddenly, I felt a little sour in my nose, so I quickly turned my head and asked Lao Ma in a low voice: "Old Ma, the person I asked you to find before, is there a letter?" ”

The old horse shook his head and said, "There is no news. ”

At this time, Zhang Gen came over and asked, "Big brother, what are you talking about, who are you looking for?" ”

I smiled and said, "I didn't say I was looking for someone, I said ...... Where did you buy this ripe pear cake? Buy me a copy too. It's a hundred bucks, and you can keep the rest for yourself to buy for breakfast. ”

Zhang Genhuo filled the remaining ripe pear cake into his mouth, took the money and ran out.

The old horse whispered, "Why are you avoiding him?" ”

I said, "He seems to have forgotten, whether he forgets intentionally or unintentionally, it's not a bad thing, the greatest advantage of this person is that he can have pure happiness, I don't want hatred to corrupt him, I know that pain." ”

The old horse sighed and said, "Or do you often have nightmares?" ”

I nodded, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a hard puff, and walked into the room.

There is a glass counter more than one meter long and half a meter wide in the living room, which has been wiped very clean and clean...... Empty.

I turned my head and asked, "Hey, I said old horse, why don't I even have an object in this counter?" ”

The old horse shrugged his shoulders and said, "You have to collect the objects yourself." ”

"No, if I have a guest here, who will come in the future when I see that there is nothing in my counter? Besides, how do you ask me to collect it, and where is the reserve? ”

The old horse shrugged his shoulders again and said, "There is no reserve fund, if you want to collect something, you have to pay the money yourself." ”

I was completely stunned: "Isn't it? I'm here to be the master! Be the shopkeeper! Am I so shabby? ”

Lao Ma still shrugged his shoulders, I jumped up and pressed his shoulder, he said helplessly: "No way, that's the rule, don't believe you ask Lao Li, they all came over like this." ”

"You...... You guys...... Count you ruthless...... I knew that nothing good was going on, and if you wore a hood like a robber, you weren't a good person, you weren't a good person! ”

The old horse ignored me, walked straight to a bedroom, took off his shoes directly, lay on the kang, and said: "Oh, it's so comfortable, I said you, you still can't change the bad habit of a bastard, you talk to your life-saving benefactor like this, sooner or later the sky will thunder." ”

I said angrily, "Get up for me!" This is now my house, my rent! Did I let you lie down? ”

Lao Ma lay on the kang and shrugged his shoulders again, and said: "I can't help it, the rules of Sanbao Zhai, I am now a caretaker, and I must wait for the newly designated hall master to complete a single business independently before I can leave." Look at the musty smell of you here, do you think I love to sleep with you? ”

I fell into the rocking chair all of a sudden, and sighed: "Rules and rules, break the rules all day long......"

At this time, Zhang Genhuo ran in from outside, holding two ripe pear cakes in his hand, I waved my hand to show that I was really not in the mood to eat now, Zhang Genhuo said: "Big brother, I don't care if you eat it or not, the money will not be returned to you." ”

I put my hand on my forehead and sighed: "What kind of sin have I done, I can't live this day......"
