Chapter Fifty-Eight: Shi Tangfei
Jiaxuan
On December 15th, the heavy snow in the City of Hope did not melt, the temperature dropped again, and it rained a night of heavy snowfall last night, which made the entire City of Hope fall into a blanket of snow, and it stopped in the early morning, and the Civil Affairs Bureau immediately dispatched cleaners and snow shovels, and it took only two hours to push all the heavy snow on the same lane to both sides of the road.
At six o'clock in the morning, the sky has not yet fully lit up, Zhang Laohan is sweeping the snow at the door of his house, wearing a fine black sheepskin coat with a big broom and waving hard, his family's gaiwan tea and special baked cakes are very popular, this is winter, so the business hours are late, but at seven o'clock in the morning it is also open for business.
"Brother Zhang, here are ten sesame baked cakes." A man came over with a large felt hat and a small basin covered with cotton cloth.
"Go inside and wait, the sale starts at seven o'clock, and it's not there yet."
Old man Zhang said without raising his head.
"Well, it's early for me, so it's okay, you don't have to queue up."
The customer looked at his watch and walked into the store.
This shop is a corner of the street, a small two-story building covering an area of 300 square meters is Zhang Ji Tea Shop, the first floor is open, the second floor is the warehouse and the place to live, but it looks quite atmospheric.
Zhang Laohan originally wanted to sell a big bowl of tea and fill in a few snacks to get by, but he didn't expect such a big storefront, but it made Zhang Laohan's originally leisurely and complacent little life become busy.
At this time, a girl in her early twenties, wearing a thick military coat, came out and said, "Uncle, I'll come." ”
"It's okay, just sweep out the road, it's almost over, you go and help Erni."
"Oh." The little girl walked into the house.
Zhang Laohan swept a few more times, and after sweeping out a small path, he took out a pipe from his arms with a broom, lit it with a lighter, and took a puff beautifully, which was a good tobacco leaf from Yang Xi in the guard's office.
The number of customers gradually increased, to be honest, his shop only sells a few numbers of tea and refreshments, although the taste is good, but it is really not particularly outstanding in the current city of hope, there are so many customers, or because his family's refreshments are good and cheap, and in this inch of land and expensive Hefeng Street, it is the key to be able to eat such cheap refreshments.
Zhang Laohan looked at Xiaojuan's busy figure and laughed, in addition to their grandparents and grandchildren, they are this little couple, they really met on the way from Qingzhou to the city of washing, so please come back to help, although they can't help them solve the official resident card, but they can make this little couple live a stable life.
None of them are theirs, but they don't have to worry about anything.
This two-story building belonged to an officer of the guard office called He Dashang, as long as they used it for a day, they would not charge a penny of rent, and the decoration of the store was originally renovated by an official of the Ministry of Agriculture named Li Jinjiang with a pension, and the small shop did not need to file taxes, and it is said that the taxes of the small shop were paid by the Shuguang Society for them every month.
And the two Zhou Ming and Ding Rui, who have hardly shown their faces, send a lot of flour every month, so that their refreshments are almost zero cost.
Zhang Laohan walked into the store with a pipe in his mouth, it was already seven o'clock, the store was already open, looking at his granddaughter who was collecting money at the window, he couldn't help sighing, he said, all his treatment, is the blessing of dragging the grandson-in-law who died in battle, the people of the army of hope are all nostalgic people, especially these people in the guards, they can be said to be meticulous, and there is a kind of moisturizing and silent warmth.
"Grandpa, how many times have you said that you can't smoke in the morning." The girl who was collecting money at the window motioned to the man behind her to take over her work, and he walked out of the window and into the hall.
"Okay, okay, I won't smoke, you be careful, go slower." Zhang Laohan saw Zhang Erni come out, immediately knocked off the tobacco leaves in the pipe, and said quickly with a smile.
A few nearby guests also said: "Yes, Erni, you have a big belly, don't move the fetus." ”
"yes, I'll do the math, it's been almost six months, but you have to be careful."
A woman in her thirties carried a paper bag of baked cakes in her hand, and hurriedly stepped forward to support Zhang Erni and let her sit on a bench.
"I'm fine, exercise well." Zhang Erni stuck out her tongue mischievously and said.
"It's better to pay attention, you are too young, and pregnancy at this age is dangerous for you." The woman came over and said.
"That's it, listen to Aunt Guo." Zhang Laohan hung his coat on the hanger, added some charcoal to the stove, rolled up his sleeves and came over to help, and said: "You, don't move, just collect money behind the window, if you move again, go upstairs and stay." ”
Zhang Laohan knows that although no one said it, how many people are staring at the child in Zhang Erni's belly.
Shi Tangfei's comrades-in-arms all hope that this child can be born, this child is still in Erni's belly, and there are six or seven people who say that they want to recognize him as a godson, that's right, the hospital has already examined it, it is a boy, his great-grandson, there are many godfathers before he is born.
However, no matter how many godfathers are not as good as a father, thinking that Shi Tang Fei died because there were no bones, he felt sad for his granddaughter, what a good grandson-in-law, how to say that it is gone.
Zhang Laohan's thoughts didn't dare to show a trace on his face, he knew that in this matter, this granddaughter had hidden her thoughts in her heart.
After this period of time passed in the morning, although the guests were one after another, they were not very busy, Xiaojuan and Dayong were able to get busy, Zhang Laohan found someone to chat, in this small tea shop, the most discussed is current affairs, and Erni is knitting a small sweater for her unborn son.
Suddenly, the thick cotton cloth blocking the door was lifted, and a cold wind blew Zhang Laohan, who was sitting at the door, to be clever.
"Haha, what about my brother and sister weaving clothes? Yo, knit it for my godson? It was Li Jinjiang, who had a broken arm, walked in with two people carrying a medicine box, and then went straight to Zhang Erni.
"Brother Li, you're here." Zhang Erni wanted to stand up, Li Jinjiang hurriedly stepped forward and gently pressed her on the stool with one hand, and said with a smile: "Don't, isn't it time for an examination again, I think it's too troublesome for you to go to the hospital, simply, I'll go to the public hospital and invite a doctor to visit you and show you." ”
"That's embarrassing." Zhang Laohan walked over and said.
"Uncle Zhang, don't you see the outside, I'm doing this for my godson." Li Jinjiang said, and then said to the man behind him, a woman about forty years old: "Doctor Deng, I've handed it over to you, take a good check." ”
After Li Jinjiang finished speaking, he found an empty table, and Xiaojuan served him a plate of beef sauce, which is Li Jinjiang's practice.
Li Jinjiang took out a small wine jug from his arms and drank the sauced beef.
Zhang Laohan knew that to a certain extent, this Li Jinjiang was the most seriously injured in his heart, a team of four people, but in the end, only he was the captain alive, and he was now living in self-blame every minute and every second.
"Lao Li, I'm too tired to drink too much, count me in." A person walked in, Li Jinjiang looked up, it was Yang Xi, a cheetah who used to be known as a double leopard with him, he nodded indifferently, Yang Xi sat down by himself, and said: "You, the work of the Ministry of Agriculture is not good, you run here all day long, and when the deer you manage freeze to death, you will be unemployed." ”
"If you are unemployed, you will be unemployed, and a pot of wine a day will be enough for me." Li Jinjiang didn't care about drinking, Yang Xi couldn't do anything about him, Li Jinjiang is now not to mention that it is impossible in the special combat team, even in the army of hope, because Li Jinjiang didn't dare to go to the battlefield, and his legs and stomach trembled when he saw knives and guns!
This is in the face of the tragic death of his teammates, and there is nothing he can do about this disease, Ding Rui originally wanted to treat him, but he himself took the initiative to withdraw from the army of hope, and he had no intention of fighting.
"Hey~ Someone is here again, this breath is very strange, powerful and natural, it should have reached the level of the limit of new humans, there is no trace of virus in the body, it is very pure, it should be a new human, but why does it feel different from us?" As soon as Yang Xi took a sip, he felt that there was a breath from far and near outside slowly walking towards their small tea shop.
Li Jinjiang nodded, although he withdrew from the guards, he was only a second-order new human, but his ability to perceive qi was very strong in itself, and he also felt this breath, but he didn't care and said: "What are you worried about, there is no hostility anyway, is it?" ”
"You don't feel a sense of familiarity, not the kind of homologous familiarity, but the person who exudes this breath." Yang Xi said.
Li Jinjiang also felt a strange sense of familiarity, but he still didn't care, he had already left the special combat team, left the guards, and what did it have to do with him.
Yang Xi saw that he couldn't attract Li Jinjiang's attention, so he was no longer bored, this kid was really dead now, and nothing could make him make a wave.
Yang Lan didn't care, anyway, there was no hostility, and when he opened the curtain, he would know who it was.
Soon, a person opened the door curtain, wearing a thin black jacket of an officer of the Army of Hope, with a large-brimmed military hat, not very tall, about 1.85 meters long, wearing a mink cloak, this man lowered his head, stood at the door, waited for the curtain to close, and slowly raised his head.
Li Jinjiang originally glanced at it casually, but suddenly the whole person froze.
The man glanced at it, smiled slightly after seeing Li Jinjiang and Yang Xi, and when he saw Zhang Erni who was checking with a big belly, he raised a bright smile and said softly, "Nini."
Zhang Erni, who was full of happiness, touched her stomach, and suddenly heard a cry that she only heard in her dreams, she looked up suddenly, and saw a figure that was haunted by her dreams and thought that she would never appear again, she desperately shook off the doctor, and ran towards this figure.
"Phineas!"
