Chapter 24: Patience

"Zhongzhu ......!"

Zhou Jingxuan just wanted to distinguish on the side, but he listened to Shi Zhongzhu's persuasion: "Childe, let's pack up the medicinal materials and eat again, right?" In the evening, the dew is heavy, and it is not good to let the herbs get wet. ”

"Okay then." Zhou Jingxuan was reluctant in every way, but he had no choice but to hold back his resentment and go to the courtyard to help collect medicinal materials.

At dinner in the evening, Boss Jia saw Zhou Jingxuan pick up chopsticks, looked reluctantly, and reprimanded again: "Boy, it's still good for Lao Tzu to be like this, you see the guy in the shop next door who is a broken family, and everyone eats three meals a day with steamed buns and pickles!" ”

Dangpojia is a pawnshop, next door to Xingshan Hall. I don't know which of the boss's tendons is misplaced, and he actually gave his pawnshop such a name. However, people's businesses have not been affected in any way because of this broken name.

But later Zhou Jingxuan learned that these two bosses were secretly scheming at themselves and slandering their neighbors' stinginess and power. That's for later.

Shi Zhongzhu, who was sitting next to Zhou Jingxuan, quietly pulled his placket, Zhou Jingxuan understood, and squeezed out a smile on his face: "I don't dislike the boss, it's just ...... It felt like a dream. ”

"yes!" Shi Zhongzhu sighed: "We were still in the academy a few days ago, and we didn't know what sorrow was, so we came out today to beg for a living." ”

Mr. Feng also sighed: "If you have to suffer hardship, you will become a master!" ”

Boss Jia nodded: "In the future, as long as you are loyal to your duties and do your job well, you can live here with confidence, and this boss will not treat you badly." ”

"Got it! Thank you owner for giving us the opportunity! ”

Shi Zhongzhu knew that although Boss Jia treated the guys stingily, he was a businessman, and businessmen were all righteous. Once he agreed to take them in, he would not drive them away as long as they did not make any big mistakes.

I sat down and ate at ease.

The population of Boss Jia's family is not large, and there are only two of them in the shop, plus Mr. Feng and steak.

Boss Jia and his wife also have a daughter, but they are already married. My daughter comes back to see them every five days, but she never eats here.

Fortunately, after dinner, Boss Jia ordered the steak to close the door, and did not let Shi Zhongzhu do anything else.

Very early the next day, Shi Zhongzhu called Zhou Jingxuan up.

Boss Jia stood in the courtyard, looked at Zhou Jingxuan, who was yawning, and told him with a cold face: "In the future, you have to get up early, and you are not allowed to sleep lazy!" ”

Zhou Jingxuan learned to be obedient this time, and responded very honestly: "Got it!" ”

Boss Jia was very satisfied with Zhou Jingxuan's reaction, and after a few more words, he went to the front hall satisfied.

Shi Zhongzhu came over and whispered to Zhou Jingxuan: "You should go and ask Boss Jia, what are we going to do today?" ”

Zhou Jingxuan was puzzled: "Why don't you ask, do you want me to ask?" ”

"Didn't Boss Jia dislike you for being young? If you ask him now, he will be very happy. ”

Boss Jia was really satisfied with Zhou Jingxuan's inquiry, and after letting them have breakfast, he took the medicinal herbs that were not dried yesterday to the yard and turned them over and dried.

"Good!" Zhou Jingxuan turned around and left after asking.

Boss Jia put away his smile and muttered, "No eyesight!" ”

Before he finished speaking, he saw Shi Zhongzhu walk in and asked, "Childe, didn't you just say that you want to help Brother Steak clean up in the front hall, why do you want to leave again?" ”

The steak had opened its doors at this point and was getting ready to clean up. And although Mr. Feng also lives here alone, he will not come before the hour.

"Oh, yes," Seeing Shi Zhongzhu winking at him, Zhou Jingxuan reacted: "I was just about to tell you that the boss explained what I was going to do today, but I forgot to come to help clean the front hall." ”

As he spoke, he had already picked up a feather duster to clean up the ashes on the counter.

Boss Jia's triangular eyes smiled into crescent eyes: "This is what a guy should look like!" ”

After cleaning the front and back halls, seeing that breakfast was not ready, Shi Zhongzhu took Zhou Jingxuan to the courtyard to dry the medicinal herbs.

Their breakfast was gnocchi with some unknown pickles.

When they were in the academy that day, they were too lazy to cook, but Zhou Jingxuan and they were tired of eating gnocchi.

But today they had to compromise.

Shi Zhongzhu comforted Zhou Jingxuan in a low voice: "Let's just think that we are still in the school, no one cooks, and I don't want to cook but eat gnocchi." ”

Zhou Jingxuan hated the gambling curse: "When I have money, I will invite Boss Jia to be my buddy and let him eat gnocchi every day!" ”

After breakfast, Boss Jia asked Shi Zhongzhu to help the steak in the front hall.

He moved a chair and sat in the backyard, leisurely watching Zhou Jingxuan drying medicinal herbs, and from time to time he gave a few words of teaching.

Zhou Jingxuan gritted his teeth in anger, but he didn't dare to show it on his face.

He knew that Boss Jia didn't like him, he had already affected Shi Zhongzhu, and now he would never let him embarrass himself again, and he couldn't bear to let him continue to wander with him.

So now, he can endure it as much as he can, and he has to endure it if he can't, even if he kills Boss Jia thousands of times in his heart.

Life at noon is much better than yesterday, with fish and meat. It's just that a few thin slices of meat are dotted on a large plate of pickles, and a carp has a plate.

The steak glanced at the boss, then broke half of the fish and put it in Zhou Jingxuan's bowl, and smiled at him. Then he lowered his head and picked up the rice, like a child who had done something wrong.

Boss Jia and his wife didn't seem to see it, but they just ate quietly.

Maybe it's influenced by them? Mr. Feng also maintained a silent behavior at the dinner table.

Shi Zhongzhu and Zhou Jingxuan had no choice but to follow the local customs and maintain the same habits as them.

In the afternoon, the weather was a little hot and dry, and Zhou Jingxuan drank water a few more times.

Boss Jia had a cold face and said to himself there: "It's a waste of time there." ”

Unexpectedly, the sky gradually became dark, and Zhou Jingxuan and the others hurriedly grabbed the medicinal materials.

"Hairy, don't pretend to be messy with me!" Boss Jia scolded Zhou Jingxuan with his hands behind his back.

Waiting for raindrops to fall in the air, Boss Jia joined the team to collect medicinal herbs.

Don't forget to tell the steak: "Slow down, what can you do?" Be careful of the heart and lungs that are tired! ”

In fact, Zhou Jingxuan was more energetic than steak, but Boss Jia just glanced at him a few times.

Shi Zhongzhu reminded: "Childe, the boss asked you not to use your strength to kill yourself, be careful of blowing up your heart and lungs." ”

"Not really!" Zhou Jingxuan replied indignantly, and his movements slowed down.

Boss Jia was on the side, as if he didn't hear it, and didn't make a sound.

Finally, those medicinal materials were collected into the house, and the rain of beans fell.

When the heavy rain stopped and the air cooled, Zhou Jingxuan ran to the toilet twice.

Boss Jia was nagging there again: "It's really lazy, lazy, lazy, and poop and urine!" ”
