Volume 5 Good and Well Path Dust 7, Insiders (2)

Volume 5 good and well diameter absolute dust 7, the man in the game 2

On March 25, the 19th year of Yongning, the sixth master of the Nian family took the second grandmother Xia and a group of 30 people to Yashan Villa in the countryside of Meizhou Mansion. This was nearly twenty days later than the sixth day of the new year that Nian Liang originally thought.

He had a good plan, thinking of explaining the things and requirements, so he let them do it, and before the results came out, he went to Yashan Villa first - the new shop, he didn't know much about business, and it was useless to keep it; Nian Shou Tang has already been arranged with Nian Qi Qingying, and there is no need for him to come in person. In addition, the accounts of Yashan Villa have been delayed for a long time, the sooner they are brought out, the better, and there is a plan, besides, there is still a business pressing, and he now needs to fully understand the property situation of Yashan Villa.

However, things do not meet people's wishes, and it is naturally not so simple to set up a shop, many things are only Zhang Luo's share, and they dare not make a decision, everything has to be used to make a final decision with him, where can it be dealt with on the fourth and fifth days of the first month. Thinking that it was his own industry, how could he leave it alone? I had to stay. Because of his previous concerns, he was afraid that Man Niang would not be able to suppress the scene alone, and then Yin Bin took the initiative to send someone over, so he couldn't let Man Niang go alone first, so everyone stayed, waited for the shop to be neat, and then left together.

Unexpectedly, a few more things came out, and it was so long to delay.

It turned out to be early in the morning of the fourth day of the new year, Nian Liang called the Wu family father and son to the house, and took advantage of the fact that Nian Shoutang had not lifted the ban, and Wu Chang had nothing to do, so he used this as an excuse to do something with him first - that is, to accept a carpenter shop and ask him to be the shopkeeper.

At first, I heard that Nian Liang said that he wanted to buy a property and buy a carpenter's shop. Wu Chang immediately bowed down and said with a smile: "Ye Yingming! Although Meizhou wood is not as good as Juezhou, but in the end Juezhou is far away, set the appearance and then pull over, the cost of water and land freight is large, and I don't know how much trouble in it, in the end it is not as cheap as the local one,β€”β€” this business is very profitable. The master of Juezhou is not easy to please. Zhanzhou's is easy, and Zhanzhou's imitation of Juezhou's craftsmanship is the best. If you think so, why don't we invite some Zhanzhou masters, and the little ones can still recognize a few friends from Zhanzhou......"

After the incident of Nian Shoutang came out that day, the sixth master refused to see all the stewards including the father and son of the Wu family, and everyone was beating a drum in their hearts, and the father and son of the Wu family were even worse. It was easy to be summoned by the sixth master, but the sixth master, who had always been gentle and kind, didn't give any face. He has never received much courtesy, but he has a gloomy face, and coldly looks at them kowtowing to the corner of his forehead to see blood, his eyebrows are not wrinkled, and at the end of the tea cup is smashed down, and the crisp voice is shocking in his ears, and many people know that the sixth master is not such a good person.

Although the sixth master still opened his mouth to "Uncle Bolt" afterwards, and closed his mouth to shout "Brother Wu", it always made people feel that they were not hot. Not steadfast, today the six masters are called, the father and son of the Wu family are accompanied by twelve points of caution, seeing that he has a smiling appearance, I expect that it was the banquet in the house yesterday that was well arranged, and the master was happy. Busy picking up the good things he said, so as to continue this joy. Wu Chang listened to what the sixth master wanted, and spared no effort to offer advice and advice.

Nian Liang said with a smile: "I know that 'the capable can do anything', and Brother Wu is the one who can do anything." That's why I'm looking for you to consult. I've heard that your father-in-law is also a carpenter? ”

Wu Chang's heart turned over, his face was still smiling respectfully, and he said, "Yes." The small father-in-law is a little carpenter's craft, and there is a small shop to support the elderly. But do you want to ask about the woodwork? Xiaodi is going to invite his father-in-law to return to his master......"

Nian Liang waved his hand and said, "But his own shop? I thought about it, it's better to know the roots, why don't you just go to your father-in-law's Su family. ”

Wu Chang never dreamed that Nian Liang was planning to do so. I didn't turn my brain to persuade me. Nian Liang has already begun to arrange tasks, saying that there is nothing to do in Nian Shoutang for a while. The acquisition of the shop is discussed by Wu Chang, and the acquisition of the shop is just a change of owner, including Su Laozhang, all the craftsmen are left, and the Nian family is hired; Not only did he have to exchange the Su family's shop, but he also had to accept the shop of the tooth man Zhang, who had been in charge of the Nian family's carpentry business.

Wu Chang smashed to the ground on the surface of his feet and didn't take it back, and he listened to Nian forgive him: "Brother Wu's father-in-law doesn't need to mention it, and he is also familiar with the shopkeeper Zhang, and the shopkeeper of this new shop is none other than Brother Wu, and Brother Wu will have to pay more attention to it in the future." ”

Wu Chang's words of resignation had not yet come out, and the most astonishing sentence came out of Nian Liang's mouth. He said: "Turn around and make the shop, and ask someone to send it to you." For this first batch, I will make a few kinds of wheelchairs first. They are all cooked on the left and right,β€”β€” Chong is also better than the next one. ”

Neither can one of these two carpenters fall into the hands of others.

"Master......" Wu Chang swallowed his saliva with difficulty, and said: "The little one doesn't know how to do this wood, I'm afraid that if I miss the business of the master......"

On the side, Wu Xuan knew that this was going to cut his son's power, but he didn't expect the sixth master to be so fast and so desperate. Right now, although his son has unloaded his errand, and his leg injury is healed, he is still the big shopkeeper of Shoutang this year, but what about the future?

He also knew about the people Yin Bin brought, and he also gritted his teeth with hatred, and he also secretly speculated about the meaning of the former master Yin Xun and Yin Da Steward, when there was no master in Meizhou, Yin Da Steward could be a seven-point master, and now with a master, I am afraid that he can also be a three-point family, and the impact on the master must not be underestimated.

In any case, he had to say something now, but as soon as he opened his mouth to think about the round, he was stopped by Nian Liang.

Nian Liang smiled slightly, and said to his father and son: "I know Brother Wu's ability best, I see it well, Brother Wu should not be humble, this matter will be handed over to you." Nian Shoutang's side, Uncle Bolt, you don't have to worry about it, it's still important to recuperate, you can recover as soon as possible or help me as soon as possible. I see that the Camelina brother has already acted, so let him learn to pick up the things in the shop, and the experience is also the shopkeeper who can stand alone, now, first by the Nianji, well, and Qingying, help him one or two. ”

Wu Xuan looked at the eldest son with an ugly face, then at the younger son with a happy and blank face, and then looked up at the master who was still smiling but had sharp eyes, and his heart doubled several times, and finally sighed silently, and said with a smile: "Xie Ye is worried about the second boy who is not a weapon." I also bothered to cultivate him ......"

"Uncle Shu said that these are far away. Nian Liang interrupted him and said, "I see that Brother Camelina is excellent,β€”β€” he is just young, and he has just experienced and experienced." ”

Wu Xuan swallowed the bitter water, with a sweet smile on his face, and nodded his head busily. He also called Wu Ma to kowtow to Nian Liang to thank him.

Nian Liang nodded with satisfaction, he was not asking for advice. Instead, he gave an order, and now the Wu family's father and son are interested, which is the best.

Wu Cheng hurriedly came over and knelt down respectfully, and kowtowed three times in earnest, and was extremely happy in his heart. No matter how hard he worked since he was a child, he was not as good as his brother in the eyes of his family, and he admittedly thought that he couldn't compare to his brother by ten points. But there are always eight points, but this is in the shop, but he can only do some trivial things, but his brother is a young shopkeeper who is admired by people, and he is majestic in all directions, and this is not without a nest in his heart.

Now I can be regarded as meeting Bole! He kowtowed and looked at the sixth master carefully every time he got up, full of heart, he was still wise!

Whenever Dou Xuyuan thinks about doing business with his family in the same year, he always shows some "sincerity" first. Probably because of his sincerity, the Yamen Piao Si Li Six High-sounding documents came out much faster, and the early years of Shoutang were unsealed on the first day of the first year, but the notice of the murderer was posted for a long time and no one was arrested, the case was not closed, and there was no official explanation for the loss of Nian Shoutang.

The bereavement money of the young man who died in the line of duty was distributed early in the morning. Nian Shoutang's family business is not afraid of losing the money "stolen by the bandits", nor is it entangled with the yamen. It's just that after the lockdown is lifted, an internal inventory is necessary, and it will be carried out by Nian Ji and Qing Sakura with people.

Both of them ignored the few drops of dark red suspected coagulated blood that could be seen in the corner of the medicine cabinet at the front desk counter, and only cared about the medicine. The number of medicinal materials at the front desk is the same as the list reported by the shopkeeper on duty, and the three notoginseng and the last medicine in the back library are all there, but it is less than a pound of bear bile.

Although it is only a matter of seventy or eighty taels of silver, it is a crime of dereliction of duty, whether it is intentionally concealed or the accounts are not carefully checked. It's all right to be kicked out. However, the sixth master is lenient. He also understands the momentary negligence of the panicked shopkeeper in the bandit shop, and does not investigate deeply. Only all those who were involved on that day were demoted. or promoted from within, or from the government and Yashan Villa to the top.

The shopkeeper on duty and the guy can't say it if he suffers - it's a capital crime, so he can only admit that he is unlucky and laid off.

Wu Xuan also had nothing to say when he heard this. Wu Chang's heart is down-to-earth-the fire is out, and the matter is over, and this kind of action shows that the master still has concerns. If you have concerns, you can do it, and if you have concerns, you will have a way for the people below.

The acquisition of the Su family and the Zhang family shop on his side was relatively smooth, but he didn't give him a chance not to succeed at all, "I want the shop" is a dead order, there is no room for bargaining, he has to be hard-headed, and he also has the heart to please the master, in order to show his ability to do things. Moreover, his three-inch incorruptible tongue is very good in the end, and one end is a close relative, and the other end is a friend.

Nian forgiveness was supposed to leave on the sixth day of the new year, and then dragged Dou Xuyuan for a while, and waited until the first batch of wheelchairs were made, but the details of the shop were finalized and delayed until the sixth day of the new year, and Nian Shoutang was unsealed, and he personally dealt with the laid-off problem of the group of guys, and then met with the visiting Dou Xuyuan.

Dou Xuyuan is not a fool, first he listened to Nian Liang and still refused to do the porcelain business, but he was unhappy, and then he heard that the wheelchair is such a partnership, and his face began to turn blue and black. The shop that makes chairs is not in their own hands, although it is the same as Shen Bing, you can "buy and sell", and the profits are huge, but the Nian family says that if you kick yourself away, you will kick it open, and in the end it will be a wedding dress with others, why bother!

He tactfully proposed to join the carpenter's shop, but Nian Liang said that it was a "Nian family and clan shop", and it was inconvenient to ask outsiders to help with the capital, so he was only willing to sign a sales contract with him, and the time limit was still one year, which was said to be cheap for both parties.

His face became more and more ugly, and only the porcelain business was what he wanted. What is the wheelchair thing, and it is still exploited like this......

However, he quickly analyzed the situation, and thought that as long as there are goods in his own hands, he can imitate them after dismantling and researching them, and it is not up to him to sell Nian's goods or his own goods in the future! Looking at the scene of the banquet on the third day of junior high school, the Nian family can sell it to anyone, but now if they don't sign it, they will miss it, and the things can't be reached, and the line of the Nian family is completely broken. That's it, sell the New Year's family to save face, take the business first, and sell it for a year and a half. When the affairs of Meizhou are stable, then slowly kick the Nian family.

After much speculation, Dou Xuyuan signed the contract and became the first wheelchair dealer in the Nianjia woodware store.

Xia Xiaoman is not idle these days, she is busy with her shop. summoned Ji Lingshu, took a ride to find his carpenter's shop, and walked around the city. Since the funds are in place, there is no need to bother saving money. Just settle on a store with a good location but a small face.

She wants to rent, but the meaning of the year is to buy. The funds are in place, and she is not bad for money, but she can't take it away after buying a shop, and it is difficult to get rid of it when she turns back. But I don't know if the classmates fancy the good feng shui or the potential for appreciation, and insist on buying it. There is a "or I will buy it and rent it to you" posture, where can she say that she is small, so she has to admit it.

In her previous life and present life, she finally had a land deed with her name written on it - the housing prices in that world were too high, she couldn't afford to support her independently, and she never met a suitable marriage partner, so she only rented a house to live. Now she has paid for the house herself, and the deed does not write Nian Xia's family. The site is Xia Xiaoman. He didn't say anything when he saw it, he just smiled, whether her name was Nian Xia or Xia Xiaoman, she was his person, and his understanding of this matter was that she wanted to keep her son, no. Their son, in that case, what is he to calculate?

Since the last time the Ling family and his wife knew about the accident in Nian Shoutang, they thought that Xia Xiaoman's business was hopeless, and they said in their hearts that they didn't regret that it was fake, and it wasn't bad money, just like the Ji family brothers and sisters loved to read, Ling Er was also a craftsman who felt uncomfortable without touching those carving tools. Within a few days of his thoughts, Xia Xiaoman came to the door with good news, and the shop was there. and asked them to move to the backyard of the shop and live in the house according to what they said. The Ling family was both surprised and grateful. I couldn't say a word for a long time, the ups and downs in the past three or two months have been too fast. It's like in a dream.

Looking at the words "Linlang Pavilion" on the plaque of the new shop, Xia Xiaoman was also in a dream. This is a dream she had in her previous life, when she had spare money, she opened a shop that sold whatever was beautiful and fun, called "Linlang Pavilion", and now she is a female boss here.

With official support, it is really different, when Xia Xiaoman wants to do it privately, it is a headache to have a talent problem, the shopkeeper and carpenter are all lacking, and now the year is a little forgiving, Mr. Fang will help recommend candidates, and find a shopkeeper surnamed Deng, and the shopkeeper Deng brought a few guys over. And Nian Liang let Xia Xiaoman choose two junior apprentices from the two carpenter shops he had newly acquired to give Ling Er a hand.

In this way, the shop is up, and the rest of the land is only a matter of the market. The box is the main product, and the design is handed over to Ji Lingshu. The nut pliers were also asked Ling Er to try to do, and after several debuggings, he finally got his hands on it, and it was very convenient to open the fruit, and he was also praised for his forgiveness. Ling Er began to follow Xia Xiaoman's thinking and try to inlay the iron guy with gold and silver, planning to sell it to different grades and different classes.

In addition, Xia Xiaoman pushed a little new design. Because one day when Ling Er's house was at Ling Er's house, she saw that Ling Qing was having fun with a bamboo horse at home, and she suddenly wanted to make some children's toys.

The slide is not absolutely safe because of the height, not to mention climbing the elevated road, where to use her for the swing! Trampolines, labyrinths, castles, and the like are also unrealistic. She remembered that she had a small bicycle with three wheels when she was a child. If there is no chain, there is no need to consider too much kinetic principle, and there is not too much technical content, which is easy to do and practical. When I thought of toy cars, I suddenly opened my mind, and I can also make scooters for older children, and I can also make strollers and baby walkers for babies and toddlers......

When she thought of this, she became more and more happy, and she got together with Ji Lingshu when she had nothing to do, she dictated, the girl drew it, and then took it to discuss the feasibility with Ling Er first, finalized the final drawings, and then gave Nian Liang a look to determine whether it would be put into mass production by the carpentry shop. Her pavilion is too small for mass production.

Nian Liang looked at those playthings with children, and he couldn't say anything in his heart. I had to force a smile, divert my gaze, and ask her: "These drawings are related to Wu Chang, are you at ease?" The wheelchair was an old picture, and he knew that it was new. ”

Xia Xiaoman said: "It's also because I can't do a lot of shop." It was nothing to hand it over to him, and the ugly words were first said in the head, and he told him that these drawings would be kept by him, and he would keep them, and if our things were not made, they would appear in the market first, whether it was the craftsman or the man, it would be counted on his head. Let him weigh it up for himself. Actually, these are similar to wheelchairs. It's too easy to imitate, and it's hard to prevent it. We can only rely on the freshness at the beginning to make a lot of money, so we have to prevent someone from taking the lead and making that money. This is the goal of forcing Wu Chang to do this, and in the future, the imitation will come out, and the price will definitely fall. Whether he sells drawings secretly or not actually has little influence on us. ”

Nian Liang smiled: "Wu Chang is afraid that he will not have a good face." ”

Xia Xiaoman also smiled and said, "Now we need a trademark...... Not. I mean, a mark, so that the world can see this mark and know that it is our thing. For example, we're going to put a lot of money on the box. You shop, play 'Annals'? I asked Miss Cousin to draw a beautiful print. ”

"Fast. After a moment's thought, he said, "Stop at the best." ”

The drawings were handed over to Wu Chang by Xia Xiaoman in person, and he told him like that. And Wu Chang's face is really like a dye shop - black, red, blue, white and purple, colorful and very good-looking, and the corners of his eyebrows and mouth are twitching when he laughs, which makes Xia Xiaoman feel very happy.

*

The shop contract is all neat, and it is also in the middle of the month, and the poor full mother of the young classmates is in the menstrual period again, and she is menstruating again.

The doctor still said that her spleen was weak, and she could still eat and sleep. She said that she could walk without hindrance, and he listened to her strangely. Think of the things she paints with children. He pressed her firmly, and he had to delay the doctor's diagnosis and treatment. She didn't know that what he was thinking about was not the same planet as her, she just thought he was verbose, but people were playing the sign of "taking medicine for your good", and it was difficult to resist, so she took medicine. She never succeeded, so she poured bitter medicine soup for many days in great depression.

She only left on this body, and when Mrs. Yuan's wife died suddenly, she had to go to Yuan's house to pay respects and be annoyed, and she was delayed for two days inside and out.

Mrs. Yuan is nearly seventy years old, but she has always been tough, and there are no taboos in eating, and that day she followed her daughter-in-law and granddaughter-in-law to enjoy the flowers in the yard, and when she was laughing, she somehow suddenly fainted. Never woke up again.

The Yuan family was in chaos. I found many doctors but didn't find out the cause of death, and some said that he had a sudden stroke. Some say that evil clashes, and some say that they are too old and tired to become a big disaster. The former and the latter were all returned, and the evil things made the Yuan family panic for a while, and invited many "masters" to get rid of it to keep the family safe.

Although none of them said that they were poisoned, and the old man's situation did not look like poisoning, there was still a lot of gossip outside the house, and when several ladies of the Yuan family were shirking their responsibilities and accusing each other, the contradictions in Su Rili burst out together, and the struggle was brought to the stage from the stage. Originally looked at the family of Shili, a big family in the high gate, but now Mrs. Tai has not passed the first seven years, but she is already arguing to divide the family, this dignity and shame are all disregarded, that is, what words can be stopped by the high courtyard wall, and the entire Meizhou City will know it in half a day.

Xia Xiaoman listened to this letter, and felt that eighty percent was a heart attack, and someone from the uncle she knew died of this disease, saying that there was nothing to do in the morning, and he was eating noodles. It's a little bit of a disease, fast. In an instant, the person passed, and there was no chance to save the land. Mrs. Yuan's symptoms are very similar.

But in the big family, who can say this well? She then thought of the Nian family, and she didn't know how these individuals would make trouble after a hundred years of the old lady and old lady.

Nian Liang went to attend a funeral, and he was also deeply touched, and he went home and locked up in the study for half a day without words. I only thought about the words she said to him when she met her eldest sister at Yuan's house.

She said: "I also know some of your thoughts, about my own heart, I also want you to start a business and become a big thing, come to Meizhou, I can only be happy." However, today is also nostalgic, our grandfather and grandmother are also at this age, and if they say something unfilial, they will not be able to do it day by day. You are not only the eldest grandson of the family, but your grandfather treats you differently from others. Let's ignore the sidelines, and look at my grandfather. If you are a hundred years later, you can do whatever you want, now...... Don't wait for a son to raise but don't wait for ......"

When the eldest man of the Hu family died, Nian Nuo had already seen the faces of his relatives, and now he was just watching a farce like the Yuan family. One thought in his heart, it was a loss that Mrs. Yuan did not respond to the marriage before, it was not a matter of splitting the family - in fact, even if the Yuan family was separated, it was the preferred marriage home on the ground in Meizhou, but the Yuan family had to keep filial piety for three years, and who was impatient to wait for her family. And because of the Yuan family, and his younger brother wanted to buy property, they thought of their own old man.

She knows exactly what that home looks like, but it's like this, and it's ...... There's always someone to see.

*

It takes half a day to get from the city to Yashan Villa, because there is no hurry, and the weather is hot, so the car travels faster when you start in the morning, and the sun rises and slows down. At noon, when he was resting on the side of the road, the elder who had been left at home by Nian Liang came with him on a fast horse, and brought a letter from Jingli that he had only picked up from the post station in the morning, along with a newspaper from the palace, saying that Mr. Fang had asked him to send it.

Nian Liang opened the letters and read them one by one, and then read the Di newspaper, his face turned cloudy, and the good mood of the previous departure was gone.

Xia Xiaoman squinted and wondered in his heart, but he didn't want to ask too much, so he only accelerated the frequency of the fan in his hand to help reduce the fire.

He glanced at her, took one of them and brought it to her, and said, "Family letter." Wedding. ”

She clicks her eyes, happy event? Where is this joy?! Since he was acquiesced, he picked up the letter and read it, skipping through many flowery and useless words, and found that the central idea was really two good news.

First, the Nine Masters Palace tried to find Tanhualang.

This is good news, and winning is good news. But the Ninth Master and the Nian family have always been rushing to the third yuan and the first place, which did not win the champion, and the joy was naturally greatly reduced.

The second is that the fifth lady will leave the cabinet on March 22.

Married to Lu Shaoyu. …… Sure enough, I couldn't be happy.

She returned the letter to him, and wordlessly patted him on the shoulder as a sign of comfort.

Brother, the world does not meet your imagination, can you shout that Lu Shaoyu is not a good thing, don't marry? Where is your uncle and brother to speak? ==|||Besides, there's a magic stick stirring in the middle. β€”β€”What was written in the letter, the reason why they got married so quickly was because Yuxian Guan Yu Zhenren was invited to occupy an auspicious day for them. The tenth day of the first month is occupied, but it is said that within a year, the day of March twenty-two is the most suitable for these two to get married, and the days next to him are asked to say a word, which is not auspicious enough.

She thought that Yu Zhenren was here to cheat money again, or that the third master was in a hurry to let his daughter out of the cabinet - after all, it was a seventeen-year-old girl, so it was difficult to say anything. But he knew it wasn't like that.

In February, the emperor set out to pick up the imperial historical platform, and the situation between the DPRK and China became chaotic. After Li Rongsheng of the Ministry of Officials was transferred to the Zhongcheng of the Imperial History, many eyes not only stared at the lack of the Imperial History Tower, but also stared at the lack of Li Rongsheng in the Ministry of Officials. At such a time, there was a small imperial history of the Ministry of Officials, Shangshulang Shusheng, and the Ministry of Officials Lang Lu Xiyuan, who accepted bribes, sold official vacancies, and formed a party for personal gain.

That is the material that Nian Liang gave to the Lang family and the Lu family.

The people of the DPRK and China don't care whether the little imperial history has a swollen sense of justice and comes to expose it, or whether he was instructed to make a gun, and even whether there is such a thing in the end, as long as it is profitable, he will make a big fuss. The emperor misses the old love, and the Lang family is not too afraid of the old concubine to keep her warm. What does the Lu family have?

He calculated the embarrassing situation of the Lu family, but he didn't expect that the Lu family, who was in an embarrassing situation, would use such a despicable method to hug the Nian family.

Hire a wand. Hurry up and get married. Reject any variables and quickly tie up the family. - The fifth lady's marriage date was originally in the second half of the year, if the Lu family has been crumbling in the first half of the year, according to the third master's temperament, it is not impossible to withdraw from the family.

However, a fifth lady who came out of the house may not be able to drag the Nian family.

Then, there is also an old alliance, the old alliance between the third miss of the dead Lu family and the eldest son of the eldest son of the Nian family. Now replaced by the fourth miss of the Lu family, the difference is only the nod of the elders.

Nian Liang clenched the newspaper. It was written that the emperor decreed that important ministers from various states should be recruited to return to Beijing to report on their work. The eldest lord of Northwest Lizhou will enter Beijing in May.

At the beginning, it was the in-laws of Nian Wei and Lu Xi's original children, and when Nian Wei returned to Beijing, Lu Xiyuan would ......

He dug a hole, but was it the prey or the hunter who got into it?

β€”β€”β€”β€” doesn't count as a word count dividerβ€”β€”β€”β€”

ps: Sorry, it was sent late, and it was dark again...... Cry...... t_t

And then I have to say that I don't have to draw, there is something tomorrow, if it hasn't been updated before five o'clock in the afternoon...... I'm still out there...... That's ...... I still have to take a day off...... "_".
