Chapter 8 Care (Second Shift, Asking for a Monthly Pass)
The charter wife is indeed a hard-mouthed and soft-hearted woman, because she is not at ease, the next morning, she actually followed Zuo Xiaoyou to the bank to make a deposit. Although he didn't say it, all the care that was revealed was seen in his eyes and remembered in his heart.
"Aunt landlord, thank you." After saving the money, Zuo Xiaoyou said: "For my business, let you bother." β
The charter lady threw the cigarette butt on the ground and said, "No thanks, you are my tenant, if something happens to you, who will give me the rent?" β
"Hehe......" Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and asked, "Aunt landlord, you don't have anything else to do today, right?" β
"No, what?"
"It's rare to be in the city, I want to buy you and the landlord some gifts, I don't know what you like?"
"Forget the gift." The charter lady shook her head and said, "Don't spend money indiscriminately, save more money, buy a house in the city, and find a woman to marry, have children, and live." Don't mess around with those rough people at my place all the time. β
"I think everyone is very good!" Zuo Xiaoyou said: "There is no distinction between high and low, and the tenants there are very kind, and I like it very much." β
"You know what." The charter lady frowned and said, "If you are educated, you must be with cultured people, that will be good for your future, always mix with those rough people in my place, and you will become a waste like them sooner or later." β
These words made Zuo Xiaoyou feel weird, this tone was really the same as when his mother taught him back then.
Seeing that Zuo Xiaoyou didn't speak, the charter wife lit another cigarette and said, "If you have anything to buy, go buy it, I'll go back first." β
"Auntie, I'll help you get a taxi." Left small right road.
"What kind of taxi is a waste of money." The charter lady reproached again and walked over to a rickshaw. Asked, "How much does it cost to go to the pigpen wall?" β
"That's far away, it takes two hours to go back and forth, two dollars."
"Let's go!" With the stinginess of the charter wife, she didn't even bargain?
Watching the chartered woman get on the rickshaw and leave, Zuo Xiaoyou was thoughtful.
Although he is stingy on the surface, he never cares too much about the people at the bottom of society. Even if the tenant doesn't pay the rent for several months, he just scolds him, but he won't drive people away.
Chartered ...... What a nice woman.
The charter lady left, and Zuo Xiaoyou was not idle, so she first observed the situation of the dumb girl with Tianyantong. At this time, the mute girl is preparing the ingredients for making ice cream at home, and she should go out before noon depending on the situation.
There was plenty of time, so I went around some small bookstores and found dozens of valuable ancient books.
I'm glad he hasn't read any of these books. It's enough for him to watch the first half of the year and study for three years.
For an immortal, how to pass the endless years is quite a technical job. For Zuo Xiaoyou, a bookworm, the best pastime is naturally to read books. You don't necessarily have to learn much, but you must be able to get rid of the boring time. Even reading novels is good.
Zuo Xiaoyou feels that he is very lucky, born in the modern society of information explosion, those information flows that appear on the Internet. It's enough for him to watch for tens of thousands of years and learn for hundreds of thousands of years. And the flow of information is exploding at a massive rate every day. As long as the earth is not destroyed, he will see! It's not over.
After buying the book, Zuo Xiaoyou took a look at the situation of the dumb girl with the eyes of the sky, and at this time, the dumb girl had already loaded the ice cream into the cart and was about to go out.
Left and right put on his backpack and walked in the direction of the mute girl.
Bought a few things along the way. By the time I met the mute girl, my backpack was almost full.
"Hey!" Seeing the mute girl, Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and said hello.
Seeing him, the mute girl was a little surprised, and looked at him with big eyes. I wonder how he ended up here?
"I guess you're almost here, and you've been waiting for you around here." Zuo Xiaoyou walked over, took out a handkerchief, and gently wiped it on her forehead: "Look at you, you are sweating so much, be careful of heat stroke." β
The mute woman's face turned red.
"I bought cool oil." Zuo Xiaoyou took out a small box of cooling oil from his backpack and smeared some on the temples of the dumb girl: "It's so hot, you must take care of yourself." Come, take a sip of herbal tea. β
Seeing the thermos flask that Zuo Xiaoyou took out of the backpack, the dumb girl's eyes flashed.
Zuo Xiaoyou unscrewed the cap of the thermos flask and said, "This is the herbal tea I brewed early in the morning, it has a good effect of clearing heat and relieving heat, drink it while it is hot, and replenish water." β
The mute girl silently took it and took two sips. Although it was hot, I sweated for a while, but it was much more comfortable.
"I'll do it!" Zuo Xiaoyou walked to the mute girl, took over the control of the small cart, and slowly pushed forward: "If you want to sell ice cream, you must choose a good location, and it is children who like to eat ice cream the most, so we should go to the school gate." I've already looked at it today, there is a noble school near here, and the students in it are either rich or expensive, and they must be willing to spend money, so let's make more money today. β
The mute woman put the thermos cup on the cart, then took out a ballpoint pen and notepad, and wrote, "You came to me on purpose?" β
"Hmm." Zuo Xiaoyou nodded: "I said I wanted to pursue you, how can I break my word!" β
The mute woman closed the notepad and lowered her head.
Before I knew it, I arrived at the school gate.
This is a noble school led by foreigners, and the government took the lead in establishing an aristocratic school, and the students in it are basically the children of foreigners and the children of local magnates, although the total number is only more than 300 people, but it is also a business source that cannot be underestimated.
Zuo Xiaoyou saw the opportunity and pushed the cart to the school gate, which had just ended. A group of children between the ages of seven and fifteen came out of school in groups. There were a lot of waiting vehicles at the school gate, and when they saw the children coming out, they went to claim the children.
Of course, there are some older children who are not picked up, so they walk home on their own. But as soon as they walked out today, they saw an ice cream seller at the door. The weather was so hot that they were so thirsty and hot that they couldn't walk when they saw it.
"Get me an ice cream."
"I want vanilla."
"Give me two chocolates."
"Okay, all of them, all of them, a five-cent, thank you." In the face of customers, the left and right greet each other with a smile. Then he slaughtered these rich little flowers.
The mute girl was startled and looked at him in panic. Zuo Xiaoyou didn't see it: "Don't be lazy, get it to the guest!" β
ββ¦β¦β
Fifty ice creams, which sold out quickly. Facing those customers who didn't buy it, Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and said, "I'm sorry, it's all sold out." Tomorrow we will definitely prepare more so that everyone can buy it. β
"Well, I'll have to prepare a little more tomorrow, I'm going to buy two."
"I'll buy three."
"I'll buy five!"
"Fatty, what are you buying so much for?"
"I like it, you care about me."
"Cut!"
All the students dispersed, and the mute girl looked at the twenty-five dollars sold today, not knowing what she was thinking.
"Today's sold out." Zuo Xiaoyou looked at her and said with a smile: "I'll send you home first." Then let's go to the movies, shall we? β
The mute girl pursed her lips, her eyes a little complicated.
"Alright! I don't force you. Seeing that she hadn't responded, Zuo Xiaoyou knew that it was too late, and immediately changed the topic: "It's just noon, I'll treat you to a meal!" β
The mute girl hesitated for a moment, but Zuo Xiaoyou's request was not too much, she pursed her lips, and finally agreed.
Zuo Xiaoyou smiled: "What do you want to eat?" β
Ten minutes later. Standing in front of a small noodle restaurant, Zuo Xiaoyou was speechless: "I originally wanted to take you to eat Western food." β
The mute girl smiled slightly. In the notepad, he wrote: "The beef noodles here are delicious and the prices are affordable. β
"Okay!" Zuo Xiaoyou shrugged: "If you like it, it's fine." After a pause, he said with a smile: "I want to marry you home more and more, and I will live a life so that I can support you." β
The dumb woman's face turned red, and for the first time, she gave him a white look with a coquettish look. Zuo Xiaoyou suddenly perked up. Haha laughed: "You don't hate me now, do you!" It seems that my chances are greater than yesterday. β
The dumb girl's face turned even redder, and she turned around and walked into the small noodle restaurant.
At this time, it was lunch time, and there were quite a lot of people in the small noodle restaurant, so the two finally squeezed into a table.
"What are you two going to eat?" The guy in the store walked up quickly and asked.
Zuo Xiaoyou looked at the mute girl, and the mute girl wrote on the notepad: "I want a bowl of beef noodles." β
"Two bowls of beef noodles. What else do you have here? Zuo Xiaoyou asked.
"There are also cut beef, boiled peanuts, and cold bean sprouts." Dude said.
"Let's have a plate." Left and right said angrily.
"Okay, you two wait, I'll be right away."
As soon as the guy left, the mute girl wrote on the notepad: "There are too many to eat." β
"I've eaten a lot, and I've finished eating." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled.
The mute girl has nothing to write about.
Soon after, two bowls of beef noodles, cut beef, boiled peanuts, and cold bean sprouts were served.
This cut beef is a roast beef slice, sprinkled with some minced garlic and poured some vinegar, which tastes very good.
At this table, there are meat and vegetables, noodles and soup, the nutritional combination is very reasonable, and the taste is particularly good. Although drinking hot soup on a hot day is a bit like that, after sweating, it feels more comfortable.
Zuo Xiaoyou found that the dumb girl liked to eat beef very much, so most of the plate of cut beef was sandwiched by him to the dumb girl, which made the dumb girl shy, but also a little moved.
Because the dumb girl can't speak, and it is troublesome to write, there is no verbal communication between the two when they eat, all of them are physical and eye contact, which also makes the dumb girl feel the gentleness and thoughtfulness of Zuo Xiaoyou, which is an experience she has not had since she was a child.
After more than half an hour, everything on the table was eaten, and the mute girl ate a little.
Left and right beckoned: "Man, cut two catties of beef for me and pack it, and then settle the account." β
"Okay." The guy quickly came over with the wrapped beef and the bill: "Sir, it's fourteen dollars and five cents in total." β
It's so cheap to cry!
Zuo Xiaoyou handed him twenty yuan casually: "The rest is your tip." β
"Thank you, sir." Dude is very happy, a tip of five dollars and five! That's enough for him to live on for five days. (To be continued.) )
