Jia Liang said: "Don't worry, after I go back, I will never let him touch a single cold hair of your younger brothers and sisters." ”

Zhu Xiaohua found a wine glass, poured Moutai wine, and said, "Jia Liang, I can trust your words." My brother and sister will entrust it to you for the time being. ”

Jia Liang picked up the wine glass and drank it all, which was regarded as agreeing to Zhu Xiaohua's request.

The three of them made a hot pot again, mutton, fat beef, and vegetables were put into the pot, and the taste of the two shabu-shabu was not ordinarily delicious.

Lao Qiao couldn't help but admire: "The food in this high-end state-run restaurant is better than ordinary restaurants." ”

Zhu Xiaohua was also full of praise for the food in this state-run restaurant, he had been here for so long, this was his first real meal.

Although the meal is a little more expensive, counting Moutai, it costs a total of twenty-nine yuan, but this meal is definitely worth it.

The three of them ate until the afternoon, and then left unhurriedly.

Jia Liang went to the sales agency to buy a ticket, and then went back to the Chinese hotel to pack his luggage.

Zhu Xiaohua and Jia Liang were packing up their things in the room, and the hotel proprietress suddenly appeared at the door: "Let's continue to live tomorrow, the room is two cents, pay it now." ”

Jia Liang: "I can't stop it, I won't live it in the future." Your place is so shabby, there are cockroaches in the room. ”

Proprietress said: "Nonsense, although my house is broken, there are absolutely no cockroaches." ”

As soon as she finished speaking, a small strong man suddenly crawled under her feet.

She screamed and jumped to the side.

She was wearing plastic sandals and had just jumped off the wall when another cockroach fell from the wall and crawled on her smooth instep.

She hurriedly shook her feet, and as soon as she strained herself, the sandals on her feet flew into the house.

Dropped on Jia Liang's duffel bag.

"Yo, before I go, do you want to give me sandals?" Jia Liang teased, "If you want to send it, even send the other one together." And flesh-colored socks, also take off and give them to me. ”

The proprietress limped to the door with one foot: "There are really cockroaches in this house, why don't you give it cheaper, five cents for three days, how about it?" ”

Jia Liang picked up his duffel bag: "No, farewell." ”

After saying that, he strode out of the door directly. The sandal was still dangling from the string of the canvas bag.

Zhu Xiaohua also followed.

The two had not gone far when the bus to the train station came.

Jia Liang jumped on the bus and said, "Brother, then I'll go first." I'm waiting for your triumphant return in L.A. ”

Zhu Xiaohua reminded him: "When you get on the train, pay attention to the thief." ”

Jia Liang nodded: "I won't make this mistake again this time." ”

There were not many people waiting for the bus next to the bus stop, and after Jia Liang got on the bus, there were no people waiting for the bus behind.

The bus started again and moved forward.

The proprietress chased out of the hotel with one limp on one foot: "Hey, return the sandals to me if you don't stay in the store, my sandals are still on your backpack." ”

Jia Liang pulled the car window, leaned out halfway, shook the sandals in his hand, and said, "You are too bad in this small Chinese restaurant." Since the shoes were given to me, then I took them. If you want, come to Los Angeles and find me. ”

The proprietress was so angry that her face was flushed, and she took off the other shoe on her foot and threw it at Jia Liang.

The sandals flew out, Jia Liang's head was biased, and the sandals smashed on the bus window.

Jia Liang stretched out his big hand and grabbed it.

He pinched his sandals and laughed: "The second shoe was also given to me, so you can chase it barefoot." ”

The bus smoked black smoke and honked its horn far away, gradually accelerating, and soon disappeared at the intersection corner.

Zhu Xiaohua watched the bus drive away, smiled, and turned around and walked towards the intersection of Xuefu Road.

The proprietress stood barefoot in front of the small restaurant and shouted: "Zhu Xiaohua, you pay me sandals." ”

Zhu Xiaohua spread his hands helplessly: "You threw the shoes yourself, what's my business." Jia Liang has returned to Los Angeles, if you want it, go to Los Angeles to get it. ”

The proprietress stomped her foot angrily, and as soon as she stomped her foot, the soles of her feet stepped on a stone, and she screamed "ouch" in pain.

Zhu Xiaohua laughed and walked away.

The new place of residence is on Xuefu Road, with two floors upstairs and downstairs, with a courtyard of two or three hundred square meters.

Upstairs is inhabited, downstairs is a shop.

Zhu Xiaohua lives in a huge house alone, so it's not comfortable.

In the evening, as the sun set, he sat on the balcony on the second floor, brewing a cup of jasmine tea, leisurely watching the crowds coming and going on the street.

These people are riding bicycles and speeding by.

Or push a trolley and move forward slowly.

Or in groups of three or five, hooking shoulders and backs, warblers and swallows, laughing together.

Or on crutches, and follow suit.

The atmosphere in the air is laid-back, and in this era, the pace of life is still very slow.

In the alley on the side of the house, people carry stools and sit in the aisle to cool off. Some people prop up their stoves under the eaves facing the alley, fan them to make a fire and cook.

There were also three or five people sitting around the table playing cards.

A group of children run in and out of the alley, catching dragonflies along the base of the wall.

There are also two boys throwing paper airplanes in the corner.

The paper airplane hit a little girl's eye head-on, and the little girl rubbed her eyes and cried.

Suddenly, a familiar car bell rang from the east side of the street.

A familiar figure, riding a bicycle, drove over, stopped downstairs, and turned to come upstairs.

The person who came was Lao Joe.

Zhu Xiaohua was about to go downstairs to greet him, but Lao Qiao had already turned around and went upstairs.

Old Qiao took the clothes and shoes in his hand and said, "I'm afraid that you will be too lonely to live alone, so I will come over to be your companion." In addition, it is also convenient to live here and load and unload tomorrow, so you don't have to run back. How's that for Huan or not? ”

Zhu Xiaohua said: "Of course. You rented this house with your help. There will be a lot of popsicles tomorrow, so we need to prepare early. ”

Zhu Xiaohua decided to wait until tomorrow to increase the purchase of popsicles to 8,000.

Of these, 1,200 were sent to Xiangshan Park and Bailu Temple, and then transferred to Jinshui Street.

The rest is all distributed here, and from here it is distributed to nearby work-study schools.

Lao Qiao sighed: "I didn't expect Jia Liang to leave like this, as soon as he left, our manpower immediately became insufficient." ”

Now is the period of rapid business expansion, and as soon as Jia Liang leaves, their delivery manpower is immediately stretched.

Originally, Jia Liang was in charge of Xiangshan Park.

As soon as Jia Liang left, Lao Qiao wanted to help Zhu Xiaohua deal with the popsicles at the intersection of the school on the one hand, and delivered goods to Xiangshan Park and Bailu Temple on the other hand.

And Zhu Xiaohua is firmly trapped at the intersection of this school, just handing over to these schools every day, delivering goods in the morning, settling accounts in the evening, making appointments for the next day's delivery, and running to the factory to place orders, which is enough for him to be busy.

Zhu Xiaohua said: "It seems that we still need a settler and a delivery person." ”

It is not difficult to find a person who delivers goods and settles accounts, but it is difficult to find someone like Jia Liang, who is easy to trust, but it is not easy.

Old Qiao said: "I have a lot of relatives at home, and if I can, I want my brother and daughter-in-law to come over and help." Neither of them has a formal job and has been gnawing at home. ”
