The two tricycles turned around to the familiar station road of Yangliufang, and turned into a small alley next to the market along the station road, and a small hotel with yellow characters on a red background appeared: Xizhou Ning'an Hotel, looking at the name is quite safe. Boss Chen and Boss Zhou parked the car under the signboard and took Yang Liufang into the hostel, in the narrow hall, two middle-aged men and two middle-aged women were playing mahjong, seeing that there were guests coming, one of them was a woman with wavy curly hair buttoned the card, stood up and asked, "Staying in the hotel?" How many people? ”

"One, my brother."

"Bring me my ID."

"I'm sorry, boss, I'm not 18 years old and I don't have an ID."

"Is there proof of that? Hukou is also OK. ”

"Nope."

"Hey, boss, we are all doing business in the market, we are all neighbors, why are we so serious! I can't run away, can't I give you my ID card? Boss Zhou said.

"Oh, it's not that we are strict, it's that the Public Security Bureau has regulations. Since it's a neighbor, it's okay to register yours. ”

"Register me." may feel that it has little to do with Boss Zhou's interests, so Boss Chen said and handed over his ID card.

"Chen Xinfa, 330300......561X, 10 with toilets, 5 without toilets."

"My brother lives, of course I have to bring a bathroom."

"No, no, brother, can I leave the bathroom without it? Just get some sleep anyway. ”

"Can you?"

"It's okay, brother, I've even lived in a vegetable patch and a well, which is already very good."

"Alright then, listen to him."

"Alright, come with me."

Yang Liufang followed the big wave through a clean flight of stairs, and as soon as he turned into the second floor, the stairs became dilapidated. After entering the hallway on the second floor, there is a row of rooms with white wooden doors and red wooden doors marked with numbers. Walking further on, the big wave stopped in front of a red wooden door marked with the number 309. When I opened the door, there was a bed covered with white sheets, and at the head of the bed was a folded quilt with a white quilt, and pillows were placed on the quilt. At the foot of the bed was a shabby table with a thermos and a white porcelain teacup with a lid.

Boss Chen and Boss Zhou also stretched out their heads to look into the room, and felt that it was quite clean, so they said goodbye to Yang Liufang, saying that they could go to the market to pick up the goods at eight o'clock in the morning tomorrow. Yang Liufang sent them to the staircase before returning to the room, and the big waves were still there.

"At the end of the hallway is the bathroom with free toothpaste and toothbrushes to wash up."

"Thank you, eldest sister, where can I get hot water?"

"Oh, I'll send it to you in a moment." As he spoke, he picked up the thermos on the table and walked away.

Yang Liufang closed the door in the room, just took off his sandals, and put on a small and large plastic slipper in the hostel, when there was a knock on the door.

"Send hot water, put it at the door for you, take it yourself."

"Thank you!" Yang Liufang opened the door as he spoke, and sure enough, he saw a thermos at the door, brought it in, and poured himself a cup of hot water. I opened the book I just bought in the afternoon and read "Chinese Furniture" first, only to know that the author of this book, An Siyuan, is actually a foreigner, he is the first from the United States to study Chinese classical furniture, and he is also the first foreigner to publish a book on Chinese Ming-style furniture, and was also named "the king of the Ming Dynasty" by the New York Times of their country. Recognized as the most discerning and tasteful antique dealer, collector and scholar in the Western art world, he devoted his life to the study of classical Chinese furniture.

Yang Liufang read carefully page by page, and actually forgot the water he poured, until he was so thirsty that his throat was on fire. When I picked up the teacup and drank it, I found that the hot water was already cold. After drinking the water, Yang Liufang continued to read and unconsciously slept with his clothes.

When he woke up, the book fell to the ground, Yang Liufang opened the door and went to the bathroom at the end of the corridor, and when he was about to reach the end, he found a round electronic clock hanging on the wall at the end of the corridor, and the clicking hour hand was moving again, and the time was 2:23 in the morning. Yang Liufang came back from the bathroom, stripped himself naked, and enjoyed the white sheets and quilts, or the five yuan would have been spent too unjustly.

Because this room has no windows, Yang Liufang doesn't know if it's dawn. I can only go to the end of the hallway to watch the clock after waking up, the first time at 6:20, and come back to continue sleeping. After waking up again, I went to look again, and I panicked, and I actually slept until 9:30. After running to the bathroom to wash up indiscriminately, he went back to his room to pick up his book, carefully checked that nothing had been left behind, and then ran out of the room, ran down the stairs, and ran towards the market.

When I arrived at the market, it was already full of bustling people. I went to Boss Zhou first, paid the money for clothes and shoes, and then went to Boss Chen's tail shop, and saw that he was busy, so I naturally went to help for a while. Seeing that there was a little less crowd, Boss Chen went to ride a yellow croaker car, loaded Yang Liufang's goods, asked the neighbors to help take care of the store, drove Yang Liufang to the station, put him down, unloaded the goods, and told Yang Liufang apologetically: "Brother, you see that the market is busy, I can't delay, I can't help you load the car." ”

"Brother, thank you very much. Go ahead and get busy. ”

"Well, okay, goodbye."

"Goodbye."

When the bus entered the station, Yang Liufang moved the goods in the same way, because the goods occupied a seat, Yang Liufang consciously bought two tickets. Afraid that someone would think that they occupied a seat, they also pasted the ticket on the stacked goods. Fortunately, the rush hour has passed, and there are not many people on the bus, and no one has come to sit in this seat until the terminal Yantan. When it came to the end, only Yang Liufang, the attendant and the driver were left in the car. The driver and flight attendant helped him unload the goods and stack them under the stop sign.

After the bus left, Yang Liufang was the only one left to guard the pile of goods. If you want to move, you are afraid that you will lose the goods if you can't finish moving, and if you don't move, you can only wait, which may delay the purchase of woodworking tools. He was at a loss for what to do, looking anxiously around, hoping that someone would come and help him, and pay for it himself. Time passed little by little, and the more I waited, the more anxious I became, and the sweat on the tip of my nose came out.

At this time, a military truck drove over suddenly on the way here, and Yang Liufang finally saw the savior, the People's Liberation Army is the most trustworthy person, maybe it is still the car of the Qin family army that he often sits.

This person really didn't talk casually, the car drove to Yang Liufang and stopped, and it was Qin Jiajun's head that poked out of the car window.

"Wow! Brother Xiao Yang, buy so many goods? ”

"Brother Qin!" Yang Liufang was also pleasantly surprised. "Oh, it's really you! Brother Qin, I'm thinking about you, I really met a relative, can you help me take a look at the goods? I moved them to the vegetable patch. ”

"Oh, why don't I move it for you?" You star. ”

"I don't need Brother Qin, I can move it myself, and I am grateful for helping me keep an eye on it."

"Okay, let's go then."

Yang Liufang moved toothpaste and toothbrush first, and before he entered the shack, the vegetable farmer uncle who was pulling weeds for spinach looked up and saw him, hurriedly threw down the work in his hand, and walked towards him.

"Uncle, are you there?"

"Yes, I saw the words you left on the ground, you have been waiting for you in the field for the past two days, and you asked your aunt to cook for you last night. As a result, when I came in the morning and didn't move, I knew that you hadn't returned. Anything else? ”

"Yes, yes, Suo (uncle), at the station, I'll put it down and let's go over together."

"Good!"

Yang Liufang put the toothpaste and toothbrush into the shack, and the two walked towards the station. The vegetable farmer uncle had the strength to pick up a box of soap and leave, and told Yang Liufang: "This is sinking, and that box is also being placed, so let's move it." Yang Liufang was not polite, because he really couldn't move 100 pieces of soap.

The two of them made three trips back and forth before they finished moving, Yang Liufang took out the cigarette and took out a pack to thank Qin Jiajun, Qin Jiajun said that he didn't want anything, saying that the troops were disciplined.

"When are you leaving?"

"Brother Qin, I have to go to the Chengbei Supply and Marketing Cooperatives to buy carpentry tools, and it is estimated that I will not be able to leave until three or four o'clock in the afternoon."

"Oh, I'll take a look later." Qin Jiajun opened the car record book and checked it. "Well, at four o'clock in the afternoon, I will change shifts with the company's driver on duty and come to pick you up. If there is an urgent mission, I didn't change shifts, and my comrades will be waiting for you here. ”

"Thank you, Brother Qin."

"It's okay, it's an empty car when we go to the oil field anyway. It's also the right thing to do for the people! See you that afternoon. ”

"See you in the afternoon."

Qin Jiajun activated the military card and left. Yang Liufang took out the pack of cigarettes and stuffed it to the vegetable farmer's uncle.

"Uncle, I have to go to the Chengbei Supply and Marketing Cooperative, and come back before four o'clock. I have to ask you to help me look at this shipment. ”

"Well, go ahead, go ahead, there's an amount, don't worry." The vegetable farmer uncle walked towards the vegetable field, leaving Yang Liufang waiting for the train at the station.
