Maybe it's because Xu Zhengdao, who has been a human being for two lives and is only seventeen years old, seems too mature in the eyes of many people. This kind of maturity does not refer to his appearance, but more to his low-key and calm behavior.

There is no need to work in the fields like the villagers, Xu Zhengdao naturally has a lot of free time. After buying a bicycle, he likes to ride around the city and enjoy the customs of Kyoto in the 80s.

Some well-known buildings or tourist attractions that he had not seen in his previous life, he also carefully browsed in this life. Every time he rides through the streets of Kyoto, he can feel the changes that are taking place in this ancient imperial city.

Although the crime of 'speculation' still exists, it is visible to the naked eye that there are more people practicing stalls in the streets and alleys of Kyoto. It's just that these people are still cautious when selling things.

At the slightest disturbance, they will quickly flee with people and goods. It is also the emergence of these self-employed people who practice stalls, and many products that have just been popular in the south have also been sold to Kyoto, and these new products are also loved by many customers.

"In the 80s, self-employed people opened small shops. At present, these people are not very popular with the current people. But as a trendsetter who has changed, those who despise them now will envy them in the future. ”

Thinking that in the near future, in addition to self-employed people, there will be many 'fallen masters' in this city, and Xu Zhengdao, whose soul has returned to this era, also feels that he is fortunate to be a witness and witness of this era.

Every once in a while, Xu Zhengdao would also go to Linyuan Hutong to find Qian Chuanlin, who collected his old furniture. Occasionally, when he had the opportunity, he would go to the seller's house with Qian Chuanlin to see the goods, but every time he only brought his eyes and not his mouth.

Qian Chuanlin, who has had a lot of contact and only has two daughters who are married, is also willing to associate with Xu Zhengdao. Sometimes the two cook at home, sometimes they don't want to cook, so they go to the nearby fly restaurant to fry two dishes and then sit together to drink wine and chat.

Seeing Xu Zhengdao, who came to the door again, Qian Chuanlin, who was at home, also smiled and said, "How can I be free today?" ”

"I wasn't available that day? If I wasn't afraid of making you poor, I would have liked to come every day! ”

"Yes, you are an idler, more idle than an old man like me. How will it be arranged today? ”

"Or the old rules, I will give out the meat, and you will give the wine?"

"You're really welcome! There is no good wine, but loose wine is enough. ”

"Done! It doesn't matter what you drink, it's who you drink with, right? ”

"That's the reason, you kid can talk."

After a lot of contacts, they have become two people who have forgotten the New Year, and sometimes they have a plate of peanuts, and the two of them can also drink deliciously. In fact, every time he came to Qian Chuanlin's house as a guest, Xu Zhengdao would bring some wine or meat.

For Qian Chuanlin, don't look at him now, like Xu Zhengdao, it seems that he is also one person who eats enough and the whole family is not hungry. But as an old man, he still wants to save some pension money. When you are really old in the future, you can't move, so you have to ask someone to take care of you!

Just as the two of them were as usual, tasting the old furniture they had just bought and preparing to cook, a middle-aged man rushed into the yard with a panicked expression, and immediately cried and said with a sad face when he saw Qian Chuanlin: "Master, the second senior brother has an accident." ”

As soon as he heard this, Qian Chuanlin was also very nervous and said, "What's wrong?" What happened to your second senior brother? ”

"Today, a few of our brothers and sisters went to help people repair the old house. At first, it was fine, but when the beams were inspected, no one knew that the beams had already been hollowed out by termites. The second senior brother stepped on it lightly, and the beam collapsed. ”

"Don't talk this nonsense to me, hurry up and say, how is your second senior brother now?"

"He was buried in a collapsed house, and when we dug him out, the second senior brother was about to die. We had just taken him to the hospital when we came, and he was still being rescued! Listening to the doctor, the second senior brother seems to be bleeding internally. ”

"Then what are you still stunned about, don't hurry to the hospital."

Just when Qian Chuanlin felt a little sorry, and was afraid that he would not be able to drink with Xu Zhengdao today, Xu Zhengdao said very directly: "Old Qian, I will also go to the hospital with you to have a look." Anyway, I know a little bit about medicine. ”

"Yes, then please accompany me to the hospital. Alas, my second apprentice has always been an acute child, and I have taken apprentices, and I still have this virtue. I just hope that nothing big will happen this time. ”

The relationship between master and apprentice in these years is no worse than the relationship between father and son. The ancients often said that 'one day is a teacher, and a lifetime is a father', for Qian Chuanlin, who has no son, he treats several apprentices as sons.

When the three of them hurried to the hospital, and saw the apprentices and grandchildren squatting outside the operating room, Qian Chuanlin also hurriedly asked: "Patriotic, what did the doctor say?" Isn't the surgery over yet? ”

"Master, I'm causing you trouble again. Previously, the doctor took a film of my brother, saying that a broken rib caused internal bleeding. We didn't understand it, but the doctor said that the surgery had to be done immediately, otherwise it would be troublesome. ”

Hearing this, Qian Chuanlin was very anxious, but he also asked seriously: "Why don't you check it carefully before repairing the house?" How many times have I told you that you can't be too careful about repairing that kind of old house. ”

"Master, we didn't expect that the beams that looked good were hollowed out by termites. The damn homeowner, when he saw that the second senior brother was injured, not only refused to pay the money, but also said that he wanted us to pay for his house! ”

"What? What about the guys? ”

"Run! Seeing that the senior brother dug it out and began to vomit blood, the guy ran away. However, he ran away and the monk couldn't run away from the temple. If something happens to the senior brother, he will definitely be held responsible. When he asked us to repair the house, he didn't say that there were termites in the house.

If he had told us in advance, we would have been more careful when we went to the house for inspection. By the way, master, did you bring any money? Previously, the doctor said that my brother would have to be hospitalized for surgery, so we were asked to pay a deposit of 500 yuan, but we only scraped together 200 yuan. ”

As the third apprentice, He Aiguo's face turned red when he said that he had no money to pay the deposit. Don't look at them as carpenters, but they usually only make money by picking up jobs. If they can't get a job, they can only do odd jobs everywhere, and the money is not available.

It's hard to get two hundred dollars!

But Qian Chuanlin, who heard this, frowned a little and said: "Fourth, why didn't you say it before, I came out in a hurry, and I didn't have much money on me." Or I'll go back, and you'll be waiting here. ”

Just after he said this, Xu Zhengdao, who came over, said: "Old money, it's not just three hundred yuan, I just have it." You let the apprentice pay the hospitalization fee first, and I'm afraid that there will be a lot of money to spend later! ”

"Alas, it's useless for me to be a master, and my apprentices don't have any character, but they just don't know how to make money. dragged their families one by one, and life was still tight. I thank you on behalf of my apprentice. ”

"Just the relationship between the two of us, what are you doing by saying this? People are okay, more important than anything else. ”

Xu Zhengdao, who was talking, pretended to take out money from the inner pocket of his coat, and quickly took out a handful of banknotes. In these years, the 100 yuan bill has not yet been officially issued, so the 10 yuan is still the mainstream currency.

300 yuan and 30 ten-yuan bills, which also have a certain thickness in the hand. Quickly clicking out thirty sheets, Xu Zhengdao directly handed it to Qian Chuanlin and said, "Old money, you can use this money first." If you don't have the money in your hand, feel free to tell me. ”

"Done! Patriotic, you take this money, and quickly pay the hospitalization fee. ”

"Well, thank you, master! Thank you Comrade Xu very much. ”

The old friend who made friends with the master, He Aiguo, who was an apprentice, also had contact with him a few times. At first, he felt that Xu Zhengdao had bad intentions, and he must have ulterior motives for forming a friendship with his master.

As a result, after getting to know each other, he found that Xu Zhengdao was better to his master than those of them who were apprentices. Every time I came to the door, I didn't talk about the good wine and meat, but also found a job for the master that they were envious of.

Now when they are in trouble, they also take the initiative to borrow money. Three hundred yuan, according to their economic conditions, even if the brothers and sisters repay it together, I am afraid that they will have to pay it back for a few years. If you want to ask other people to borrow it, you want to scrape together 300 yuan, but you don't know when you can get it!
