"Auntie, are you okay?" "Grandma, are you okay?" Liu Xia also returned when she heard the cry, shouting from afar.

"It's okay, kid, thank you."

"Liu Xia, why are you running so fast! How dangerous! The girl's mother blamed the girl for riding the speeder.

"Liu Xia? Auntie, you said her name is Liu Xia, you are from Liunan Village? ”

"yes, you are?"

"Auntie, my name is Li Tongfu, and I am a friend of Yang Liufang...... Brothers. ”

"You are Ah Fu, Liu Xia and her father have been praising you since they came back from their hometown. What are you? ”

"Auntie, I have my ID card done, and now I will go to Xizhou to continue doing business."

"Oh, will you see Ah Fang then?"

"Ah Fang, my brother? Do you know my brother? ”

"Go, don't interrupt."

"Auntie, I will definitely try my best to find it, and I will write to my godfather and godmother as soon as there is news."

"Godfather?"

"Well, I've been eating hundreds of meals since I started, I have no relatives, Ah Fang's parents saw that I was pitiful and recognized me as a godson, no, this time I came back to apply for an ID card, I lived in his house for more than ten days. The two old men treated me like my own son. ”

"Oh, Ah Fang's parents are very kind. By the way, after you find Ah Fang, let him write to us, if he can't get over it, you can also send us a letter, we can rest assured. Xiaoxia, come and leave an address for this brother. ”

"Good!" Liu Xia tore off a page of notebook paper and wrote on it: Liu'an Wood Factory, No. 30 Quxi Street, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang Province. After writing and handing it to Li Tongfu, Li Tongfu saw the beautiful and elegant font, and then looked up at Liu Xia carefully, although he was only a high school student, his eyebrows were clear, and his eyes revealed the aura of a Jiangnan woman, this was the first time he saw Liu Xia.

"Auntie, I made a note, I'm going to the station to catch the train now, we'll see you again."

"Goodbye."

"Remember to ask my brother to write a letter." Liu Xia said loudly in the back.

"Don't worry." Li Tongfu replied while struggling to carry his travel bag and handbag. Tickets from Wenzhou bus station to Hangzhou are still difficult to buy, and there is no way to let more people go out to do business here. In addition, small commodities and small electrical appliances have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, and more people come and go. Li Tongfu bought a refund ticket at a high price and headed for Hangzhou. After a day and a night, the bus arrived at Hangzhou Wulinmen Bus Station. It is still a familiar place, and many acquaintances who set up stalls came forward to greet him warmly when they saw him.

Li Tongfu called a yellow croaker car to take him to the train station, and there were a lot of tickets to Xizhou, but there was no seat before arriving in Shanghai. Li Tongfu, who had experienced a squeeze in the car, knew the reason and accepted it calmly. But this time with the first lesson, he found a staff member in the station, gave him 2 yuan, and asked the staff to help him put the travel bag and luggage bag into the cabin of the carriage in advance. Lightly packed, he easily entered the station, squeezed into the train, and went to the conductor's room to retrieve his travel bag and handbag.

The train is huge, and after passing Shanghai, there are a lot fewer people, because it is late autumn, and there are fewer people going to the north. After Xinyang, there were already a large number of empty seats in the carriage, Li Tongfu found a three-seat seat to lie down, and slept beautifully.

The train passed along the way, stopped at the station, and when it arrived in Xizhou, it was already 9:10 a.m. on the third day, because the windows on the train were closed, and the weather could not be felt. The weather in the northwest has become colder, and compared to the short-sleeved trousers and thin clothes in Jiangnan, sweaters are to be worn here. Carrying a travel bag, after being checked and released by his ID card, he walked on the road and froze his nose, and he thought it would be more appropriate to go to the wholesale market to get some clothes to wear. Thinking about it, I quickened my pace, and it was more comfortable to lift heavy objects like this.

When I arrived at Boss Zhou's shop in the market, Boss Zhou just sent off a customer, and when I turned around, I was also very excited to see Li Tongfu who was so cold that his neck was shrunk.

"Oh, Xiaofu, ah, no, Xiao Li, you're back. Your brother is waiting for you, and you're dying. As he spoke, he grabbed his arms with both hands, as if he were afraid to run away.

"My brother?"

"Yes, Xiao Yang, Yang Liufang."

"Ah Fang is here? Alfon, Alfon. ”

"Oh, don't scream, he's not here, he's frozen, right? Come. Let's have a cup of hot water first, and I'll tell you slowly. Li Tongfu walked into the stall, put the two bags away, sat in front of Boss Zhou's small tea table, and waited anxiously for Boss Zhou to tell him about Ah Fang.

"The day you gave me the shoes, Xiao Yang bought from a fellow who sold department stores in the passage next door to us, you walked on the front foot, he came here to buy clothes on the back foot, saw your travel bag, and rushed out to chase you without asking."

"Boss, how do you sell this?" Before he finished speaking, a customer picked up a pack of gloves and asked.

"How much do you want? Is it wholesale or buy in vacuum? Boss Zhou got up to greet him, and Li Tongfu picked up the teacup to warm his hands.

"Come to 20 packs, then give you 5 cents a pair, a pack of 50 pairs, two dollars five, a total of 50 yuan."

"Can it be cheap?"

"The wholesale price is given to you, and it really doesn't make money."

"Oh, I'll take a look."

"Don't go, so be it, I'll give you two more pairs." Seeing that the customer pretended to leave, Boss Zhou replied.

"That's pretty much it." The guest paid the money, and the boss Zhou picked up the goods from under the stall, and found a big plastic bag for the customer to pack, and after the money and goods were cleared, the guest left with the goods.

Boss Zhou continued to tell Li Tongfu: "Chased to the train station, the police said that you were repatriated, so he came back dejected, yes, he left you a note, wait for me to find it for you." Over here. After Boss Zhou found it, he handed it to Li Tongfu, and Li Tongfu took the rumor that he saw Yang Liufang and wrote:

Brother Tongfu, I am Yang Liufang, and when I came to Boss Zhou, you had already left. After coming to Xizhou, I waited for you to start a small business in the mountain village, and now it is very stable, don't worry. I often come to a tail shop in the department store area of the market to buy goods, and the owner is a fellow villager of ours, surnamed Chen, who also takes good care of me. If you come, be sure to leave a letter to me.

After reading the letter, Li Tongfu gradually calmed down and said, "Brother, thank you for taking care of Ah Fang, you can help me get some clothes first, it's too cold here." ”

"Oh, it's not suitable to come from my hometown, it's still very hot. So you and Xiao Yang wear the same clothes, overalls. ”

"Okay."

"Seeing that you are about the same size as Xiao Yang, let's give you the same size. To give! Li Tongfu took it, put on his coat first, and said, "I'll go see Boss Chen, thank you." ”

"Oh, don't worry, I'll settle the bill for you, your last batch of shoes has been sold out. The return rate is very small, and if it is convenient, you can also buy and sell it here. It gives you a total of 362, deducting 5 yuan from the clothes money, and 357. ”

"Brother Zhou, I'm just here, you're welcome. In the evening I invite you to dinner to express your help to me and my brother. ”

"You're polite, they're all fellow countrymen, I didn't help much, Boss Chen helped a lot."

"No matter how big or small it is, I appreciate it! I'll go to Boss Chen's side first, what shop is he? ”

"Number 89 in 4 rows."

"Okay, I'll go over now. Then I'll put this thing here for you first. ”

"Okay, let's go."

Li Tongfu found Boss Chen's shop according to the number given by Boss Zhou, and saw Boss Chen drinking tea in the store. Sold out? It wasn't until I got closer that I realized that it wasn't.

"Hello, what do you want to order?"

"Brother Chen, Ni He (hello), I'm Li Tongfu. Thank you for taking care of my brother. ”

"Ah, Ah Fu, you are back, if you don't come back, your brother is in a hurry to go to the room. What do you think? Have you got your ID card done? ”

"Alright. Thank you for your concern. My brother Fang, how is it now? ”

"Good Ni, good Ni. He has a good business now, with regular clients and retail investors. It would be nice for you to come back a few days earlier, just finished buying goods from here three days ago. By the way, I also bought a batch of carpentry tools, saying that I was making furniture for a leader in the village. ”

"Oh, then he would. By the way, do you know which village he is in? ”

"I really don't know. He walked the streets and alleys, where he went, business matters, you know, and it was inconvenient for us to ask. However, his first stop out of the city should be Yantan, and then hitchhike to the oil field, and I don't know where he will go later. ”

"Okay, thank you, Boss Chen, I invited you and Boss Zhou to dinner in the evening, thank you for taking care of me and my brother. Tomorrow I will go looking for him. ”
