Chapter 44: One Hundred Years of Hook Stamping

Time flies.

In the blink of an eye, it was the eighth day of the new year.

According to local customs, on the eighth day of the new year, some shops are ready to open.

Ms. Wang, who believes in hard work and prosperity, is no exception.

When the store reopens, you have to set off an open cannon, which means that business is booming in the New Year, and then you can clean it up.

On this day, Zhou Yutang was also arrested, and Zhuang Ding came to the clothing store to help.

After the crackling firecracker, before the smoke dissipated, Zhou Yutang took a broom to clean the door of the store under the supervision of Ms. Wang.

What about Nortel's once-in-a-decade school grass?

What happened to the hot newcomer in the entertainment industry?

In front of Ms. Wang, the tiger has to lie down, and the dragon has to be coiled.

Zhou Yutang swept the floor lazily, but he was wondering if he would have to set up a bigger store for his mother this year, and then ask a few little girls to help run errands.

The hit of the TV series has even become popular with the outfits of the male and female protagonists in the play.

The brain is lively and searches for the same outfit on the Internet, Zhou Yutang asked Sister Shuang's temporary assistant to post on the Internet every day to attract traffic, and the sales of the online store went up at once.

Ms. Wang was afraid that she would not be able to sell it, but within a few days, the inventory was almost empty, and Zhou Yutang ordered the second batch of goods with the garment factory.

Ms. Wang was a little dumbfounded.

Can you still do this kind of business?

In line with this development, Ms. Wang's quasi-retirement hedonism plan is almost on the agenda.

With his mind set, Zhou Yutang inadvertently glanced up.

At a glance, I saw the small figure with a ponytail under the locust tree on the street corner.

Before he could be surprised, the little koi fish waved at him and grinned, and then trotted over happily.

Today's Yang Chaoyue is wearing a red cotton suit, brand new sneakers, and a pretty ponytail, which still looks so cute.

When the sound of a yellow warbler out of the valley sounded, Zhou Yutang didn't think so:

"Uncle!"

“......”

Listening to this long-lost uncle, Zhou Yutang's face darkened, threw the broom aside, and retaliated by rubbing the little koi's hair: "Call brother." ”

"Oh, brother."

The little koi fish tilted his head and hehe.

"Why are you here?"

"Elementary school students have a winter vacation during the Spring Festival."

Yang Chaoyue rolled her eyes covertly and shook her little head.

"Elementary school students don't watch cartoons and do their homework at home during the winter vacation, what are you running around on the street?"

Zhou Yutang was still angry about the little girl's name just now, and spoke with a straight face.

"Big ...... Brother, my mom and dad have gone to work. ”

Yang Chaoyue stuck out her little tongue, her big black eyes, and secretly looked at Zhou Yutang's expression.

Sure enough, the ice and snow on his face melted instantly, and the little koi snickered.

Zhou Yutang squatted down and said softly: "Then you are not at home to play with your friends?" ”

"You said, I want to find you, just come here, I'll come, I wanted to tell you first on QQ, but I don't have a computer at home, and I can't go to an Internet café."

Yang Chaoyue's white and tender fingers poked Zhou Yutang, her body was straight, her other little hand was behind her back, her little head was tilted, and her eyebrows fluttered and asked:

"Brother, what do you think of my new clothes, do they look good?"

"That's so good-looking, it's worthy of being a class flower, when you grow up, a proper village flower seedling."

"Village flowers?"

The little koi blinked his big eyes, understood the meaning of the word, and said happily: "This is good, I will be the village flower of our village in the future!" ”

Zhou Yutang stretched out his hand to tidy up her clothes, patted her shoulder, and said: "Even if you are a village flower, you can't be proud, look around, who is not a graceful jade tree in the wind?" ”

"Hahaha, that makes sense!"

Yang Chaoyue knew that Zhou Yutang was talking about herself.

The voice was smiling, obviously gentle and not very serious, which made her squat on the ground with laughter and couldn't straighten her waist.

"Be careful to keep a low profile."

"Uh-huh, low-key."

Yang Chaoyue nodded, high-fived Zhou Yutang, who was squatting, and was still smiling.

"Zhou Yutang, I asked you to do something, either your hands are sore or your feet hurt, and you can even be lazy to sweep the floor."

Ms. Wang walked out of the Fengtang clothing store with her sleeves up, and when she saw Zhou Yutang throwing the broom aside, she came up in anger and directly started the battle mode.

"Uh, Auntie, hello."

Don't look at Yang Chaoyue who is lively and cheerful in front of Zhou Yutang, but she still can't let go of strangers, especially Ms. Wang with murderous anger in her voice.

Her small body shrank behind Zhou Yutang's back and said hello honestly.

"Whose child is this?"

Ms. Wang was also a little stunned.

She thought that Zhou Yutang was hooking up with a girl, and then looked at it, she was a cute and loving little girl.

Glancing at it, I went through it in my mind, and confirmed that this was not the girl next door, and the appearance of the pink carving was very attractive.

"Auntie, don't be angry, I'...... I'll help my brother clean up. ”

Yang Chaoyue said a little timidly, picked up the broom directly, and began to act very quickly.

Zhou Yutang explained the situation to Ms. Wang a little in the past.

"This kid is so sensible."

Ms. Wang suddenly felt suddenly, and her eyes softened instantly.

She still praised her son's positive behavior of helping the weak groups in his hometown.

"Mom, this is the case, your son is notoriously honest, and since elementary school, he has scored full marks in ideological and moral classes."

Zhou Yutang watched with his hands in his pockets, and Ms. Wang glared at Zhou Yutang angrily: "You kidnapped the little girl out today?" ”

"Heaven and earth conscience, I really don't have it."

"Eh, Auntie, I'm here to find Brother Yu Tang."

Yang Chaoyue carried a broom and took the initiative to explain: "Thank you Brother Yu Tang for letting me go to the crew last time, the restaurant is open today, I want to invite him to eat." ”

Alas, what a good boy......

Ms. Wang learned about Yang Chaoyue's family situation from Zhou Yutang's side.

She herself has been in business for many years, and she still has a basic eye for people.

This little Yang Chaoyue's upper and lower clothes are not a big brand, obviously not a child of a rich family, and seeing that the little girl works so neatly, it is estimated that she usually works at home.

Sensible and filial, well-behaved and obedient, who is not rare for such a girl?

Looking at her son standing on the side, Ms. Wang was angry, and said coldly: "You have no hands and feet?" Can you ask someone else's little girl to clean up for you? ”

Zhou Yutang: "......"

He suspected that he was sent by Ms. Wang to top up the phone bill.

Watching Ms. Wang lead Yang Chaoyue into the store and take out all kinds of snacks to entertain, if it weren't for the fact that there were no children's clothes in her clothing store, Yang Chaoyue would also be matched with a set.

Xiao Yang Chaoyue was a little flattered, and she didn't know where to put her hand.

But when she reacted, that little mouth was really sweet, thank you Aunt one by one, and with that cute little face, she also took the initiative to help Ms. Wang do some tidying and cleaning work.

After working for a while, Ms. Wang was embarrassed to call child labor anymore, and there were customers who came to the store and wanted to watch it, so she asked Zhou Yutang to take Xiao Yang Chaoyue to eat.

"Hehe, brother, I'm doing okay."

Xiao Yang Chaoyue had a little smugness on her face, as if she had just done something great, and raised her chin slightly: "Auntie said that I am very capable." ”

"Generally, I have a bit of the style of my youth."

Zhou Yutang asked with a smile: "You came to me today, do you really want to invite me to eat?" ”

"Of course, I'll mean what I say, please eat something delicious."

Xiao Yang Chaoyue held her chest high and her head high, her hands on her waist, and she looked like an invincible and cute village flower.

"You have money?"

"I've got money!"

Yang Chaoyue's little face was full of pride: "I brought 100 yuan, what do you want to eat, I invite you." ”

"Where did you get all this money? You won't steal it from your mother's purse, will you? ”

Zhou Yutang looked at Yang Chaoyue suspiciously.

He himself had done this before, and stole Ms. Wang's 50 yuan to buy Ultraman, but it didn't turn into light, and he was beaten up by Ms. Wang when he went home.

This year, primary school students can be happy to have five cents in their pockets, and 100 yuan is really a huge amount of money for primary school students.

"It's my own money."

Yang Chaoyue glanced at Zhou Yutang angrily.

She wouldn't tell Zhou Yutang that this was the result of her hard work to accumulate pocket money for several months.

Looking at her proud little face, it seems to say come and praise me.

Zhou Yutang was also happy, and thought: "Okay, let's have an egg cake first, add meat and sausage." ”

"Yes."

Yang Chaoyue nodded in the ponytail.

"Another plum blossom cake, I haven't eaten it for a long time, I miss it a little."

"Okay."

"I ate fish noodle soup at noon, do you remember the last time I went to eat it?"

"Mmmm, you must add chicken thighs and meatballs, it's so delicious."

"Let's go, why are you stunned?"

Zhou Yutang pushed a bicycle out.

Yancheng is not a big local area, and he likes to feel the local style while riding.

Yang Chaoyue sat obediently in the back seat, hugging Zhou Yutang's waist, and holding her pocket with her little hand.

"Wait a minute!"

"What's wrong?"

Zhou Yutang stopped his movements, turned his head and saw that Yang Chaoyue's little face was pale, and his hands were helplessly rummaging back and forth in several pockets on his body.

"It's gone, my money is gone......"

"I brought it, but I was still there when I came out......"

turned all over the place, and didn't find the 100 yuan, Yang Chaoyue's whole person was like falling into an ice cave, as if she couldn't withstand such a blow, her small body shook, and her big eyes lost their brilliance.

Thinking of the sad place, my mouth was flattened, my eyebrows were frowned, and I cried out with a wow.

"Don't cry, what an adult, why are you still crying?"

At this time, Zhou Yutang, one head and two big, coaxed the little koi, but the more he comforted the girl, the happier she became, and she crashed into his arms, crying a little scream.

In her world, about a hundred yuan is already a lot of money, and she has been saving for a long time, so she is really distressed and distressed.

"You must have been a little crying bag before."

Zhou Yutang felt a headache, but he was helpless, he was really not good at communicating with the little girl, so he had to pat the little koi's thin back and comfort.

"Who said that!"

Unexpectedly, Yang Chaoyue was like a cat that had been stepped on its tail, staring at her big red eyes and her nose twitching.

"Don't cry."

Zhou Yutang had no choice but to make a straight face: "If you do this again, I won't take you to play in the future." ”

Hearing this, the crying stopped abruptly.

Yang Chaoyue opened her big eyes and looked at Zhou Yutang with a pout.

"Look for it first, maybe it's still there."

Zhou Yutang went into his store to take a closer look, and asked Ms. Wang again, but he didn't see it.

Review again.

It seems that the activity area of the little koi fish is near here, and it has not gone anywhere else.

The streets are also very clean, I guess there are none.

That's when this girl came, she was lost on the road.

Zhou Yutang probably knew it in his heart, but a bright smile appeared on his face.

"Close your eyes and I'll play a trick on you."

Looking at this watery little cabbage covering her eyes with her hands, Zhou Yutang quietly stuffed a hundred-yuan bill into her pocket with lightning speed.

"Open your eyes and see if the money is still there."

"Huh?"

The little koi fish touched his pocket, stunned, and his expression was complicated.

What's the situation?

Why did the money fly into her pocket?

"Let's go, let's eat."

"Eh, brother, your clothes are dirty."

Looking at Zhou Yutang again, just now his snot and tears were all rubbed on his high-necked sweater, Xiao Yang Chaoyue sneered and laughed, but she felt embarrassed and wanted to wipe it with her hands.

It's not too cold today, so Zhou Yutang simply took off his sweater and wore only a white shirt with a coat on the outside.

I rode off and took the little koi fish to visit the circle people park, and also went to Lotte Mart Plaza.

Eat at the snack bar in the afternoon, to say that there is nothing good to eat in Yancheng.

The time of happiness is always short-lived.

Looking up, it's amber dusk again.

Zhou Yutang was afraid that the adults in her family would worry, so he rode her home first.

Sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, the little koi fish had a small head with a cocked face, staring at Zhou Yutang's tall back with big eyes without blinking, and he smirked.

Laughing and laughing, the little face was a little worried, and the little koi who was worried didn't even react when he arrived home.

"What do you think?"

Zhou Yutang stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, suspecting that the girl was asleep.

"Nothing."

Yang Chaoyue raised her little face and showed a bright smile: "Brother, when I have money in the future, I will definitely invite you to eat and drink spicy food." ”

"Didn't you treat me to dinner today?"

"Not today."

Yang Chaoyue stretched out her white and tender little finger and hooked it: "Come and pull the hook and stamp it." ”

"Okay, the hook and seal will not change for a hundred years."

Zhou Yutang, who accompanied this little girl to finish her naivety, turned around and waved her hand and rode away.

Standing at the door, he watched Zhou Yutang's back go away, and until he couldn't see it anymore, Yang Chaoyue touched the notebook with the tail koi in his arms.

Uncle, uncle.

You said you would play tricks and deceive elementary school students.

My hundred dollars are ten pieces and ten dollars.

It's not a hundred-dollar piece!

Elementary school students only have one piece of pocket money a day, and it is too difficult to save it day by day.

The little koi was afraid that he would not be able to resist the temptation, so every time he saved ten yuan, he went to the shop to exchange it for a whole ten-yuan one, and then saved it.

I saved and saved, saved for a few months, and with a small amount of New Year's money, I finally saved enough for 100 yuan.

Well, I thought it was barely enough to invite my uncle to dinner.

But as a result, she was still lost by herself, and Yang Chaoyue felt that she was stupid.

She began to think about a very serious problem.

I'm so stupid, can I still be a village flower?
