Chapter 22: Niu Tong's Spring (Collect!)
When it was lunch time again, An Quan sat up from the rattan chair and slowly walked towards the Chunfeng Building. As for the little female ghost, she was naturally kept to watch her home.
"Mr. Ann!"
Who knows, not far from Chen Po's stall, An Quan was stopped.
Looking at the black man in front of him, An Quan said, "Niu Tong, are you going to the dock to unload the goods?"
At this time, Niu Tong's clothes had been changed into short shirts that were convenient for work, and a wet sweat towel was also put around his neck.
Although the clothes on his chest are still open, they are no longer to show off his fierceness.
Seeing that he was covered in dust and beads of sweat on his forehead were raining, An Quan guessed that he had just returned from the dock.
"Well, I was taught by Mr. Ann yesterday, and I realized how much of a bastard I used to be! I went to the docks early this morning and found a job to do!"
Niu Tong said to An Quan quite respectfully.
"Then what are you stopping me for?" asked Anquan.
"I'm ......" Niu Tong rubbed his hands and twisted, "I want to invite Mr. An to a meal......
"Oh, that's a good feeling! I happen to be hungry too, so let's go. An Quan beckoned to Niu Tong and continued: "It's too late, I'm afraid there is no place in Chunfeng Building......
"Ah, go to Chunfeng Building to eat......"
Hearing this, Niu Tong's face was bitter. touched the blanket that his mother had just sewn for him, and estimated that the money on his body was not enough to go to Chunfeng Lou for a meal.
"Hahaha......"
Xu saw that Niu Tong was sincerely repentant, and An Quan was in a good mood today.
"Let's go, let's go to Chen Po's stall to eat ...... today."
"Huh?" Hearing this, Niu Tong was stunned for a moment, and then became happy.
Seeing that An Quan had already walked away, he quickly trotted two steps and chased after him.
"Mr. An, I must work hard to make money, and it won't be long before I can invite you to Chunfeng Tower for dinner!"
Niu Tong said solemnly.
"No need!" An Quan waved his hand and said, "It's enough to have this heart." As for the money you earn, it's better to save more and try to save enough for the bride price to marry a beautiful lady as soon as possible!"
"Mr. Ann......"
There was a touch of shyness on the face of the black man Zi Niu Tong.
"Mei Niang, bring me the things I stored in the morning, and a few more side dishes! I want to invite Mr. An to dinner today......"
As soon as he arrived at Chen Po's stall, Niu Tong couldn't wait to shout.
Mei Niang came over with two large bowls, put the bowls on the table, and said, "Where do you bring your own things when you invite someone to dinner, I have never seen you so ......"
Then, she turned to An Quan again and said, "An Gongzi, you are here......"
Niu Tong was sarcastically ridiculed by the beautiful girl, and his face suddenly felt embarrassed, and he defended: "I...... Isn't this what I want Mr. An to taste my mother's dumplings!"
Those two large bowls were full of dumplings filled with leeks.
"Meiniang, don't be sarcastic!" An Quan smiled and said, "On the way here, he told me......!
"Gongzi An......" The beautiful lady blushed in an instant and said, "What do you say? Who is going to marry him......
When Niu Tong saw the beautiful girl like this, he thought she was angry. was also a little anxious, and hurriedly explained: "Meiniang, Mr. An is joking with you." I didn't say that......"
"Who cares if you said no!"
The beautiful lady stomped her foot, turned around and ran away.
Ay......
Seeing Niu Tong behaving like this, An Quan couldn't help but sigh. It's really mud that doesn't go up to the wall, why do you deny this kind of thing?
Don't you see that the beautiful girl's attitude towards you has improved a lot?
If you don't strike while the iron is hot at this time, what are you waiting for?
"Mr. An, try my mother's dumplings!"
Niu Tong didn't know what he was missing, so he just urged An Quan to eat dumplings.
Seeing that he looked naïve, An Quan was helpless.
Pick up a dumpling and put it in your mouth.
Well!
It tastes good, and it's still hot. Apparently the beautiful lady helped to heat it.
At this time, Chen Po came over with a few plates of side dishes.
Originally, she was going to let the beautiful girl come over, but she was a little embarrassed by what An Quan said, so Chen Po could only bring it herself.
Niu Tong saw Chen Po coming, and he couldn't take care of eating the dumplings, so he quickly got up and helped take the side dishes.
"Hey......"
Seeing Niu Tong like this, Chen Po sighed and said, "If you wake up earlier, I won't stop the beautiful girl from marrying you!"
"Po Chen, what did you say?"
Niu Tong didn't seem to hear clearly.
"I treat the beautiful girl as my own daughter, you have to treat her well in the future!" Chen Po said angrily.
"But...... Isn't she disgusted with me?"
Niu Tong was stunned for a moment, listening to Chen Po's meaning, she actually wanted to marry the beautiful girl to herself!
"Think about what you look like! Can she be willing to follow a splash?"
Chen Po didn't have a good airway.
"Huh?"
Niu Tong was stunned, he always thought that the beautiful girl didn't look down on him, and Chen Po also raised eyebrows at him.
Originally, he thought that he would not have a chance in his life, but he wanted to ...... It's actually bright?
"Look at your stupid appearance, if you woke up earlier, why did you do this?"
Chen Po was a little angry.
"It's not too late!"
Seeing this, An Quan made a round.
"Fortunately, I met Gongzi An, otherwise you would have to suffer a lawsuit sooner or later!"
Niu Tong and Chen Po turned out to be close neighbors, and the relationship between the two families was very close. Niu Tong was also an honest person in the past, but then somehow he learned from those gangsters.
At this moment, Chen Po gradually became a little estranged from his family.
Later, a few years after the death of his eldest son, Niu Tong fell in love with the beautiful girl, so he came to the stall all day long.
Chen Po knew that he liked the beautiful girl, but he was a gangster, how could he rest assured that the beautiful girl would marry him? Fortunately, the beautiful girl didn't look down on him at that time.
It wasn't until this morning that Chen Po and Meiniang saw Niu come to the dock early in the morning to unload the goods, and then they knew that he was truly repentant.
It just so happened that Chen Po took this opportunity to talk to Meiniang about this matter.
Meiniang herself also knew in her heart that Niu Tong had thoughts about herself, originally he was a scoundrel, and she naturally looked down on him.
But now, Niu Tong has changed, and it is a little different.
Niu Tong has the strength to work, he can top three or four people by himself working on the dock, although he looks a little ugly, but the husband is not the appearance of marrying.
Therefore, after Chen Po proposed it, Meiniang hesitated for a moment and agreed.
How do you know that Niu Tong is a fool, An Quan can see the meaning, this guy hasn't reacted yet.
It wasn't until Chen Po came out to dial that Niu Tong understood.
"Po Chen, don't worry, if I marry a beautiful girl, I will definitely treat you as filial as my own mother!"
Niu Tong said solemnly.
"Don't be in a hurry! Although our beautiful lady is a widow, she can't marry casually. You have saved enough for the dowry first, and then come to propose. Chen Po said.
"As it should be...... ...... as it should be"
Niu Tong rubbed his hands excitedly.
"I'm going to work on the docks......"
This guy didn't want to eat the excited food, so he actually got up and was about to leave.
Fortunately, Chen Po stopped him in time.
Although the man sat down, his mind had long since drifted away, and after eating the dumplings indiscriminately, he took out the copper plate to settle the bill.
confessed to An Quan and rushed to the dock.
This afternoon, Niu Tong only felt full of energy, and he moved the goods a lot faster. When the merchant saw that he was doing his work neatly, he was happy and gave him a few more copper plates.
Now, he grinned happily.
