The bigger the business became, the more Jiang Fan began to pay attention to these details.

After handing over the things to Yang Ruolin, Jiang Fan directly dialed the phone number of the Beigang store, but Yang Luoyan was not there.

Jiang Fan continued to dial her pager.

After a while, Yang Luoyan called back, and as soon as he heard Jiang Fan's meaning, he decisively refused: "No!" Partners who go back on their word, don't do it. ”

Jiang Fan didn't say more, "I know, I'll tell him truthfully." ”

After lunch.

Wu Yuan called Qiao Wuye, sat on Santana, and drove to Sipailou Road, calling Zhao Baojun.

The group went straight to the Zhabei labor market.

Towards the end of the year, there are no fewer workers waiting to work here, but the employers who come to work are rarely there.

As soon as Wu Yuan and his party got out of the car, they were surrounded by a swarm.

Hold up the sign in your hand and try to recommend yourself.

"Boss, I'll build a wall!"

"Boss, I'll paint the walls!"

"Boss, I know carpentry and furniture."

"Boss, I'll get through the sewers!"

Go! Those who have access to the sewers, what a lot of fun.

"Boss, I'll do it if I pay for it!"

Anything about it.

But no matter what he shouted, Wu Yuan was indifferent.

Because today's work of picking people is all handed over to Qiao Wuye and the second apprentice Zhao Baojun.

More than half an hour later, Qiao Wuye and Baojun returned.

As soon as Zhao Baojun got in the car, he sighed: "Master, these masters are not easy, which one do you want, which one you don't want, I really can't be ruthless." ”

"Some people also say that they can work for three yuan a day, so that they can earn a ticket home at the end of last year."

"Someone else said......"

Before he finished speaking, Wu Yuan interrupted: "Don't listen to what they say, see what they do." ”

"That's what the fifth master said."

Qiao Wuye took the Huazi handed by Wu Yuan, and let Zhao Baojun quickly nod his eyes and said, "You kid, you are still too young." Don't you know the reason why Ci is not in charge of the army? Those people just now, they said it sounded, but in fact they weren't sure what they were. ”

"The masters from our rural areas are simple and kind. But there is no shortage of leper dogs, hob meat, once it is stained, trouble continues. However, there are many people in our decoration company, so we are not afraid of them. ”

The day passed quickly.

When Wu Yuan returned home in the evening, it was already close to eight o'clock.

As soon as the key was inserted into the door, he heard the door open behind him, and the professor, who had greeted him before, pushed the tortoiseshell glasses that had broken his legs, and warmly invited: "Are you free?" Come over for a drink? ”

Wu Yuan turned around, "The great professor invited, and it was difficult to resist. ”

Then he asked, "My sister-in-law is at home, don't bother, right?" ”

The professor waved his hand directly, "Your sister-in-law has gone out to set up a stall, and I am the only one in the family."

Wu Yuan easily locked the door again, turned around and entered the opposite door.

The layout of the door is almost the same as that of the house. It's just that the decoration is relatively non-existent, and everything is still the same as it was in the seventies.

The green skirt and white walls are peeling off in many places.

The furniture is also very simple and has a quaint feel.

The professor closed the door and said, "The conditions at home are average, and they can't be compared with your family." Your home was built by Professor Wang and Professor Li with years of savings. ”

Wu Yuan changed the topic and introduced himself with a smile: "Wu Yuan, from the countryside in northern Jiangsu." ”

The big professor's eyes lit up, he shook Wu Yuan's hand and said, "Coincidentally, the cheap one is also from northern Jiangsu." My name is Lu Wenqing, and I am an associate professor in Tongji who is engaged in architecture. So don't talk about any big professors in the future, I'm not qualified enough. ”

"Coincidentally, Professor Lu, you are the son-in-law of Northern Jiangsu, and we are also half a fellow countryman."

"Yes, yes, yes, the fellow saw the fellow, and the two of them were in tears. Sit down! ”

As he spoke, Lu Wenqing found half a bottle of liquor from the corner of the kitchen, and the wine label had already been torn off.

I couldn't see any wine.

Then I put half a plate of peanuts from the pot, freshly boiled.

Plus a bunch of tea eggs.

"Brother Wu, that's how you order food at home, don't be cold!"

Wu Yuan waved his hand: "Professor Lu, I've had dinner anyway." This meal is considered a supper. It's you, drinking old wine on an empty stomach is not good for your health. Why don't I go down and get two dishes? ”

Lu Wenqing grabbed Wu Yuan and said, "No, there are enough tea eggs." ”

Wu Yuan sighed, this old brother is really a breeze with two sleeves.

I'll eat this for dinner.

Lu Wenqing picked up the wine bottle and directly divided the little liquor left with Wu Yuan.

Poured back and forth several times to make sure it was evenly divided.

Then he covered the wine bottle and said expectantly: "Brother Wu, I have tasted my treasures for many years, and I have never been willing to drink it." ”

Wu Yuan picked up the cup, took a sip, smacked it again, and said, "Old Baigan?" ”

"Brother Wu, you really know how to drink! Let's take a sip of this. ”

The two glasses came together, and the two men who smoked across the balcony in the starry night drank for the first time.

After a bite.

Wu Yuan took a peanut, chewed it in his mouth and swallowed it slowly, looking at everything in the room by the way.

Although the decoration is a bit old, the award certificate on the wall and the trophy on the top of the cabinet all show that Professor Lui is talented.

"Professor Lu, I heard that there are four tigers in domestic architecture, Tsinghua University, Tongji, Nangong and Tianda. You are an associate professor of Tongji Construction, and you must be well-known in the industry, disrespectful and disrespectful. ”

Originally, Wu Yuan wanted to pat the professor's ass.

Who would have thought that as soon as he finished saying this, Lu Wenqing sighed directly and said, "Loud and powerful!" I'll tell you the truth, Brother Wu, I went to the night market to sell tea and eggs, and my monthly income was more than what I took. When there is a quarrel at home, I, as a man, can't hold my head up! ”

Wu Yuan raised his glass and said: "The two of them quarreled, it was all a hurry." My sister-in-law has no malice, our women in northern Jiangsu are all hardworking and capable, hard-working. The temper is sometimes a little bursting, but it definitely takes care of the family. ”

Lu Wenqing and Wu Yuan touched each other, took another sip and said, "To be honest, when she scolded me like that, I didn't get angry, I just felt that I was incompetent." But the three-foot podium, I really can't leave, and I am conflicted. ”

At this time, Wu Yuan took out two cigarettes from his pocket.

In order to take care of Professor Lu's face, he didn't even take out the cigarette case.

Handed it to the other party's mouth, on fire, Lu Wenqing took a puff, and turned it over to look at the trademark on the cigarette.

"Good guy, Brother Wu, you smoke Huazi on weekdays?"

Wu Yuan said casually: "I also gave it to the customer." You also know that the people who are engaged in decoration in Shanghai are all rich people. ”

Lu Wenqing nodded sullenly, and began to babble again.

From national events, to colleagues going abroad. From the daily teaching to firewood, rice, oil and salt.

Wu Yuan came to a conclusion when he heard it.

It is not easy to engage in scientific research these days.

No wonder I always met Lao Lu smoking alone on the balcony in the middle of the night.

Before I knew it, two hours had passed.

Until there was a key sound behind him, and a woman in an apron came back with a pick.
