"Anrui, are you ready?" Liu Jiajun asked outside the door.

"Wait a minute, and you'll be fine right away." Hearing the sound in the room, Liu Jiajun leaned against the wall of the corridor and continued to wait quietly. He didn't think about it, this was the first time Li Anrui said that he was full of the task that Wu Wu had assigned to him.

After returning from Hengsha Island yesterday, Li Anrui thought about taking a look around in his free time in the few days before going to work, and they had been in Chongming for several days, but they were only passing the time in the building of the Dongtan Convention Center.

After Liu Jiajun took over the task from Wu Wu, he also had plans to go to Yingdong to understand the situation, and it happened that Li Anrui wanted to go out to play, so he decided to accompany her out for a walk early this morning.

Li Anrui finally opened the door, and she walked out with a small bag on her back and a knitted hat with two small furballs on her head.

"Is it pretty? Brother Jiajun. Li Anrui straightened his hat and collar with his hands, and then asked Liu Jiajun.

"The hat is good," Liu Jiajun said with a smile, "and the people are even better." ”

"Let's go," with her boyfriend's praise, Li Anrui's mood became more sunny. These days, she stays in the building of the conference center and has nothing to do, and she is very envious of Ai Guoliang and their busy and fulfilling every day.

It wasn't until yesterday that she went to Hengsha Island to implement the work that her heart was steady.

Liu Jiajun found a clean car outside the building, and the two of them first went around Lanhai East Road and toured the area in the southeast corner of the conference center.

From Lanhai East Road, turn south onto Chongyuan Road, and then return to Yingchen Highway, and the car began to go in the direction of Yingdong.

"Brother Jiajun, there is a lot of farmland here," Li Anrui leaned her whole body against the car window, she looked at the fields on both sides of the road that stretched out into the distance, and shouted with some excitement.

"There are quite a lot of people," Liu Jiajun glanced out the window, and found that there were many figures working in the fields, and several farming machines shuttling between them, and they seemed to be able to hear their sounds through the window glass.

The car went west along the Yingchen Highway, and after a short time, they came to the vicinity of the tourist area, which was close to Yingdong, so the two got out of the car and began to walk around.

The tourist area is located on the western edge of the Yingdong area, which is adjacent to the Dongtan Garden Villa area to the south, and after the disaster, both places suddenly became uninhabited, until the survivors from outside the island were transferred, and Yingdong gradually became the atmosphere of the past.

Liu Jiajun took Li Anrui to walk around, and soon came to the street of Yingdong. Compared to the average country town, the buildings are similar in size and scale, but they are more delicate.

At this time, it was still early, but there were already a lot of pedestrians on the street, Li Anrui looked at them curiously, and quietly pulled Liu Jiajun's arm, "It looks more lively than Jilong Mountain." ”

Liu Jiajun nodded, "Go shopping in the store?" ”

"Okay!" Listening to Liu Jiajun's proposal, Li Anrui's eyes lit up.

There were some shops on the side of the road, and Liu Jiajun took Li Anrui and walked towards the first one on the left hand side of the road. When the two came to the door, they happened to pass by a group of people, Liu Jiajun glanced back at the backs of those people, and frowned slightly.

Li Anrui didn't notice Liu Jiajun's expression just now, she ran into the store in a hurry and began to pick up the goods inside. The store is a bit like a grocery store, with things not neatly displayed, but it's not cluttered either.

When the owner of the store saw a customer coming in, he quickly put away the sad face just now, and said with a smile on his face, "Look at it, pick it up." ”

"This is pretty," Li Anrui asked the boss to take out one of the shellfish handicrafts she had picked out from the counter, "It's really vivid." ”

The thing Li Anrui picked out is a decorative ornament made of shells, which is spliced together by several shells to form two small birds squatting on a branch, and the branches on the soles of the birds' feet are replaced by a piece of white coral, and the bottom is also glued with shells as a base, and the whole thing looks very exquisite.

The boss noticed that Li Anrui seemed to be very fond of the ornament, but he didn't seem to have much hope that the girl would buy it. According to my own experience, nine out of ten people who come to the store to buy things are mainly practical. Although this ornament is good, it does not help much in daily life.

Li Anrui was very interested, and he couldn't put down this ornament made of shells, and Liu Jiajun saw that she liked it, so he asked the boss, "How to sell this?" ”

"Huh?" The owner of the shop was still thinking about the people who came to the door just now, and he didn't notice that these two customers were going to buy this thing.

The ornaments of the little bird were bought by him from other places, and although they did not cost much money, they were pressed in his hands for a month or two. After a long time, he thought that this thing would definitely be smashed in his hands, but after hearing someone ask for the price today, he immediately came to his senses.

"Two fresh faces, let's see if we can slaughter them," the owner of the store saw Liu Jiajun and Li Anrui, two young people, going out shopping together, and concluded in his heart that they must be a couple. He suddenly became confused, and wondered if he should raise the price.

The boss quoted a high price, and he paid some attention to the reactions of Li Anrui and Liu Jiajun.

"It's so expensive," when Li Anrui heard this price, he put the things back on the table with some regret, "Brother Jiajun, this will cost almost half a month's salary." ”

"If you like it, buy it, it's okay," Liu Jiajun used to have a very generous commission when he went out on a mission, so he basically had no concept of money, he brought his circulation coupons with him when he went out, although the price quoted by this boss was quite high, but it was still within his purchasing power.

And since Liu Jiajun came to Chongming, he gradually knew how much Li Anrui had suffered in Jilong Mountain. Thinking that in order to make her injuries heal faster, she would always squeeze out the limited food in her hand and try to make herself eat as well as possible.

Liu Jiajun glanced at Li Anrui, his eyes were full of tenderness, "Buy it." ”

As he spoke, he was ready to take out the negotiable ticket to pay.

"Still don't," Li Anrui stopped him and smiled apologetically at the shopkeeper.

"I'll give you a cheaper price," the boss saw that the man wanted to buy the woman but felt sorry for the money, so he had a bottom in his heart, "Girl, you can't find this thing anywhere else, and besides, your husband feels sorry for you and is willing to spend money for you, and you can't live up to his wishes." ”

Liu Jiajun laughed, he was already planning to buy this thing for Li Anrui, "Then you can give us a cheaper price." ”

He could see that Li Anrui liked the shell ornament in the shape of a bird very much, and he also planned to make this business with the owner of the shop, so that he could ask him about some things.

"I'll give you a 10% discount, I hope you two will last a long time," the boss said auspiciously words flatteringly, but he didn't make much concessions on the price.

"I want him to be wholeheartedly devoted to me," Ms. Li said, smiling smugly at Mr. Lau.

"Girl, your price is too ruthless, if you give a discount, I will lose blood," the boss cried bitterly, but secretly said in his heart that this girl's bargaining vision is really accurate, and the price of a discount is a little more than the price he bought at the beginning, "I can't sell it, I can't sell it." ”

"Since you're so embarrassed, forget it, Brother Jiajun, let's go to other stores, anyway, this is the first one today, maybe there's a better one in the future?" Li Anrui took Liu Jiajun's hand and pulled him out of the door. The two were about to go out when the boss's voice came from behind them.

"It's a fold, it's the first time you've come, so it's a big treat for new customers," the boss shouted, "You guys have to take care of the business later." ”

Liu Jiajun paid the money, and when he saw Li Anrui happily holding the shell ornament of the little bird, his heart was also full of joy.

"An Rui, this boss is very generous, you can pick and choose in his store to see if there are any other things you like, and we will buy them together," Liu Jiajun said, and then turned his head to talk to the boss.

"We haven't been in Chongming for a long time, we live in Dongtan, and before entering your store, we watched the people at the door go in and out, and the business was very good."

"Hey, where, it's very ordinary, just barely making ends meet." When the boss saw that the business was done, Liu Jiajun had no intention of leaving, but asked the girl to continue to pick things in the store, and his impression of him suddenly improved a lot.

"Business is not good," the boss sighed, "the supply of goods is in the hands of the government, and we small business people can only go around from time to time to buy some goods to make the difference." ”

"And the most fucked-up thing is that those Bagan boys often come to the door to rip off bamboo." The boss glanced at the door with a look of indignation on his face.

"Baganzai?" Liu Jiajun was stunned for a moment.

"They have made a "Seven Star Gang", they are rampant here, and they are looking for us for protection money. ”

"The Seven Stars?" Liu Jiajun knows the situation of this gang, which is the biggest gang in Bagan. "How can there be a Seven-Star Gang here?"

"Who knows, those Bagan boys have their own names," the boss took out a crumpled cigarette case, took out two cigarettes from it, and handed one to Liu Jiajun.

Liu Jiajun waved his hand, pointed at Li Anrui and said, "My wife won't let me smoke, she doesn't like the smell of smoke." ”

"Oh," the boss nodded, tucked the cigarette to his ear, and put the cigarette case away.

"What are you talking about these Bagan boys?" Liu Jiajun was very interested in this information, and the tasks given to him by Wu Wu before included asking him to keep an eye on the actions of these people.

"It's the same business as us, but the road is much wilder, when you come in, the group of people who just went out on the front foot are Bagan Zai, and they came to me early in the morning to say that they want to add protection money."
