Chapter 18 The Commissary
At this time, the rain had gradually stopped, and under the leadership of Chen Shanyuan, a few minutes later, I saw the place where the lights were on, it seemed to be a small shop, and there were two stone steps under a glass window along the street, and through the faint light in the glass window, you could see some cigarettes, alcohol and daily necessities on the shelves inside.
When he came to the glass window, Chu Feng saw the red phone placed in the window at a glance, and then looked into the glass window, a glass counter was next to the glass window, behind it was a chair, behind the chair was the shelf, there was a small door on the left, and a single bed was placed on the right.
Chen Shanyuan immediately raised his hand and knocked on the glass window, "Hey, is there anyone?" ”
Before the voice fell, suddenly a black shadow came up from under the counter, and roared at Chen Shanyuan outside the glass window. Chen Shanyuan was so frightened that he leaned back and almost fell off the steps.
Chu Feng was also taken aback, but when he came back to his senses, he saw a big black dog face barking at them from inside the glass window.
"Damn, this dead dog scared Lao Tzu!" Chen Shanyuan scolded a few words angrily, and then he heard a man's voice coming over, "Don't scream, old black." ”
When the black dog heard this, he immediately stopped barking, obediently lowered his paws from the counter, and a middle-aged man with a shiny face yawned and appeared in front of the counter, "Who?" ”
Chen Shanyuan hurriedly put his face in front of the window, "We're here to buy something." ”
And the other party suddenly became vigilant after seeing Chen Shanyuan and the others, "You two are from that village?" Why haven't I seen you? ”
Chen Shanyuan hurriedly continued: "We are from Meishan, and the car broke down when passing by your village, and you also know that there is no mobile phone signal in this place, so I don't see that you have a phone here, so I want to report my safety to my family first, and then buy something." ”
The middle-aged man looked at the two suspiciously, "What you said is true?" ”
Chen Shanyuan said angrily: "Of course, if I don't sleep in the middle of the night, what will I do in your barren mountains and mountains." ”
The middle-aged man reluctantly opened the movable window, "Say okay in advance, one piece a minute, if you want to fight, I will go to sleep if you want to fight or not." ”
"I said you're too dark......" Chen Shanyuan just wanted to open his mouth to theorize, but Chu Feng stepped forward to stop him at this time, and handed over a hundred-yuan bill instead, "Get us some food and water, and the rest of the money will be used as a phone bill." ”
The middle-aged man's eyes suddenly lit up, and he stared at the red-colored bill in disbelief and said, "This money is really for me?" ”
Chu Feng nodded, and Chen Shanyuan said impatiently: "I said that you are not annoyed, how can I deceive you when the money is handed over to you." ”
The middle-aged man hurriedly took it with a smile on his face, and shone at the light bulb above his head for a long time, and then handed over the phone, "You call yourself, I'll get you food." With that, he quickly put the money in his pocket, and quickly turned around to get something on the shelf.
Chu Feng took the phone and asked seemingly casually, "Boss, do you villagers usually call from you?" ”
The middle-aged man couldn't hide his excitement while holding things down from the shelves: "You guys are also lucky, if I move out in a few days, then you will have to go to the signal tower to make a call." ”
Chen Shanyuan continued: "Hey, I said boss, what are the people in your village doing, why are there empty yards all the way." ”
The middle-aged man said proudly: "You don't know yet, in a few months, we will be built into a resort here, and the people who received the demolition money will move to the city." ”
Chen Shanyuan raised his eyebrows and said, "Yo, I really can't see it, you will soon become a big family." ”
When the middle-aged man heard this, he immediately became vigilant, "What are you asking for?" ”
Chu Feng frowned when he saw this, and said: "Boss, I can't hide it, in fact, we are from the Municipal Demolition and Relocation Office, and I came here today to learn something about you." ”
The middle-aged man was stunned, and immediately put the things in his arms on the counter, leaned forward and said, "You guys are really demolished?" ”
Chen Shanyuan looked at Chu Feng, turned to the middle-aged man with an impatient face, and said, "I said what's wrong with you, just ask you what to say, mother-in-law, mother-in-law, you don't annoy me, I'm annoying!" ”
The middle-aged man immediately smiled, "Don't see each other, isn't this the first time we've met, come, smoke a cigarette first." ”
As he spoke, he took out a box of Hibiscus from under the counter, pulled out two and handed them out from the window.
Chen Shanyuan looked at it and took it pretending to be pretentious, "I can't see that your kid is quite good at getting things done......" he glanced at his chest as he spoke.
Seeing this, the other party immediately understood, and hurriedly took out the hundred-yuan bill that Chu Feng had stuffed into him before, and handed it back with a flattering face, "I was in a daze just now, just ask if you have anything to say." ”
Chen Shanyuan took the hundred yuan first, then looked at Chu Feng and said, "Xiao Chu, you come and ask him, I'll drink saliva to moisten my throat first." ”
The middle-aged man hurriedly turned around and took the drinks from both sides of the shelf and handed them out from the window, "Don't worry, don't worry, drink saliva first, as long as I know it, I will tell you." ”
Chu Feng waved his hand and asked, "Did a middle-aged woman call you this afternoon?" ”
The middle-aged man nodded, "The daughter-in-law of the old Ma family in the west of the village has been here." ”
Chu Feng frowned and said, "Is this old horse you are talking about the family who lives under the threshing floor?" ”
The middle-aged man nodded, "Yes, yes, it's their family, is Lao Ma looking for you?" I'll tell you, you can't listen to him, the yard was dug by himself, their family is an outsider, and the village has never approved a homestead for him. ”
Chen Shanyuan interrupted him with an impatient wave of his hand, "I can say whatever I ask you, where is there so much nonsense." ”
The middle-aged man had already regarded Chen Shanyuan as the leader of the demolition and relocation office at this time, and when he heard this, he hurriedly nodded yes, and then handed him a hibiscus king.
Chu Feng paused and said, "Does the old Ma family have a daughter?" ”
The middle-aged man nodded, "It seems to be called Xiaojuan, I have been going to school in other places, and I have been at home since I had a serious illness last year, which I haven't seen for almost two years." ”
Chu Feng then asked: "I heard that Lao Ma has a good relationship with a person named Ermao in your village, is there such a person?" ”
The middle-aged man said: "That's right, Ermao's father and Lao Ma are fellow villagers and have always been good to their family, but last year, Ermao's family moved to a town in a neighboring county...... Hey, by the way, the daughter-in-law of the old Ma family seemed to call the second girl of the Ermao family in the afternoon, saying that Xiaojuan had something to think about recently, and asked her to enlighten her. ”
Chen Shanyuan interjected at this time: "How many households in your village have not moved out yet? ”
The middle-aged man thought for a while and said: "There should be nine households counting Lao Ma's family, but most of them work in the city, and they don't usually come back, and I don't know if they move or not. ”
