Cui Jiaqi didn't go shopping, he just took his cigarettes and went to get close to the old man in the warehouse of the department store, trying to establish a good relationship first, paving the way for the long-term business in the future.
Huo Yueze failed to stop him, so he simply let this guy run into a wall by himself, and went to the department store on his own.
Thinking of the greedy nature of snacks, Huo Yueze bought a bunch of local specialty pastries and preserved fruits, and packed two portions of roast duck in a high-priced restaurant, and the money flowed out.
In addition, I hurriedly asked about the location of the machinery factory, ran over there to find a courageous worker, and got a brand new water tank with the money ticket.
Cui Jiaqi helped carry the water tank onto the truck, and couldn't help but click his tongue: "Yue Ze, why did you buy this thing?"
Brother, we are here to make money, not to spend money? ! The pastries and candied fruit are okay, and they can barely sell for some money on the black market when they are taken back, but what is the use of this water tank?
"I'm going to repair the small courtyard, but the inside is too dilapidated." Huo Yueze didn't hide this from him, and said the truth.
"Yo, you're ready to move out of the house? Tell me, which girl do you like?" Cui Jiaqi came up to ask meanly.
He also knew that the small yard was specially reserved for himself when he was a child, and the house would suddenly need to be repaired, which must be because of a girl who wanted to get married and have a baby.
"No, I rented out the small yard." Huo Yueze didn't want to say more, and sat in the driver's seat first, urging him to get in the car quickly, "Hurry up, I'll hurry back."
"Hey, good." Cui Jiaqi hurriedly climbed into the big truck, fell asleep next to him and closed his eyes to catch up on sleep.
The big truck was humming and driving fast.
Besides, on Cheng Zhou's side, he had nothing to do, and happily ran to the department store to buy other missing things for himself, such as white porcelain bowls, stainless steel spoons, wooden chopsticks, and two white enamel jar lunch boxes with lids.
Originally, he wanted to buy the pot as well, and when the stove was built, he could use it to boil hot water for drinking, but he counted the industrial coupons returned to him by Huo Yueze yesterday, and sadly found that it didn't seem to be enough, so he had to Waiting for the next time I come to buy a pot.
As for the fabric, he actually wanted to buy more cotton cloth. When he returned to the village next time, he would bring it back to Aunt Ge and his cousin. They must be very happy to see the cotton cloth.
But from afar, the acrimonious woman behind the fabric counter still looked arrogant. Cheng Zhou curled his lips, he really didn't want to deal with this salesman, so he simply waited for Huo Yueze to come back, and let's see how he would teach this person a lesson.
Putting on the straw hat again and carrying the basket on his back, Cheng Zhou joyfully moved the things he bought back to the small yard and put them neatly on the table.
There is no way, the whole room is empty, there is not even a cupboard, and there is basically no place to put it other than stacking it on the table. It seems that there are still many big things to be added in the future.
After resting for a while, Cheng Zhou felt that it was boring to stay in the small yard dryly, so he ran out for a walk on the street again with his empty backpack.
This time he was going to visit the bookstore, but he accidentally ran into someone on the way.
It was the aunt who was the salesperson who sold the watches. Her demeanor was still gentle and beautiful, and she had the brilliance of being a mother soon.
In one hand, she was holding a patched army green cloth bag, one of which was embroidered with a naive little red pig, and with the other hand, she was walking slowly along the path beside the road with her waist supported.
The two approached each other head-on, and when they took a closer look at the face of the person opposite, Cheng Zhou was hesitating whether to say hello, maybe he didn't remember him at all.
But the pregnant aunt smiled and said, "Little comrade, we meet again."
Cheng Zhou got stuck in his mouth for a while, and didn't know how to address the other party. It seemed a bit old to call him auntie, and it seemed wrong to call him auntie.
The pregnant aunt seemed to see Cheng Zhou's embarrassment, and said proactively, "My surname is Song, Song Zhenzhu, you can call me Big Sister Song."
"Hey, Sister Song, do you still remember me?" Cheng Zhou knew how to address her now, and talked to her with a smile.
"Of course I remember, you came to buy watches with another young man yesterday, where else?" Song Zhenzhu glanced left and right, but didn't see the tall young man.
"He's gone to work, Sister Song, are you going home? Are you alone?" Cheng Zhou saw Sister Song's pregnant belly as big as a washbasin from a distance, and always felt frightened, afraid that she would die in the next second. fell down.
"Yes, my house is not far away. It's in the alley in front of me. Comrade, I'll go first." Song Zhenzhu held her big belly, her legs were sore after standing for a long time, and she didn't intend to say more, so she said a few words Just get ready to go.
Cheng Zhou hurriedly said, "Okay, Sister Song, be careful and pay attention to the stones on the roadside."
"Hey, I know." Song Zhenzhu waved her hand in disapproval, she was walking carefully.
Cheng Zhou stood there worryingly, seeing her walking steadily to the end of the street, and then turning into the alley, he felt relieved, turned around and walked straight to the bookstore.
This time, he needs to buy some books, so he has to start learning how to read. By the way, he will also buy some newspapers to understand the current affairs and the general environment here. Although he certainly doesn't know most of the characters, when Huo Yueze comes back, he can read it to himself. read.
Thinking of Huo Yueze, the corners of Cheng Zhou's mouth raised slightly, and he couldn't help but start to giggle. He came to a tree and suddenly came back to his senses. He paused, slapped himself on the forehead, and couldn't help but spurn his stupidity: " What are you smirking about? What an idiot."
But his eyes were still full of smiles, obviously in a good mood.
Cheng Zhou walked into the bookstore. There was not much space inside. The dusty bookshelves were filled with all kinds of books, and he couldn't understand the titles of some of them.
He simply walked to the small table in front and asked, "Comrade, I want to buy some newspapers, are there any here?"
The owner of the bookstore is a young man. Hearing this, he raised his head and looked Cheng Zhou up and down strangely, and said in surprise, "Newspapers are not sold here, I have to go to the post office to buy them."
This little comrade doesn't look stupid, why did he come to the bookstore to buy newspapers?
Cheng Zhou immediately patted his forehead to cover up: "Yes, yes, I made a mistake. My elder brother specifically asked me to go to the post office to buy it, but I forgot it as soon as I turned my head."
Hearing this, the young man smiled and said, "Then do you want to buy other books?"
auzw.com Cheng Zhou shook his head anxiously, "I don't want to buy it, I have to rush to buy a newspaper for my elder brother." After speaking, he stepped out of the bookstore, walking quickly.
He didn't dare to stay here any longer, after all, he was really not familiar with this place, if he inadvertently showed his secrets, I'm afraid it would really arouse people's suspicion.
He couldn't help frowning, so he found a curb near the post office and sat down, sighed melancholy, it seemed that he had to distract himself and continue to eavesdrop on other people's chatter, so as to learn more about things here.
But it's also annoying for him to keep eavesdropping on other people's chatter.
I listened to it over and over again, whether it was what your family ate today, or what was supplied in the grain and oil store today. These are all short journals from parents, and there is too little useful information in them.
Cheng Zhou held his chin, continued to frown melancholy, and stared at the post office opposite in a daze.
Forget it, when Huo Yueze comes back, if he has any questions, he can directly ask this person, anyway, Huo Yueze will definitely keep the secret for him.
Speaking of which, he didn't hide it at all in front of Huo Yueze. Did this person already guess that his origin is unusual? Otherwise, why did you repeatedly ask him several times in the guest house yesterday afternoon if he would leave? Cheng Zhou who asked at the end wanted to cover his mouth and forbid him to speak any more.
Why did you think of Huo Yueze again?
Cheng Zhou blinked helplessly, looking at the crowd on the road, trying to get his attention back.
Huh? There is also a naive little red pig embroidered on the army green cloth bag carried by this thin man, which looks so cute.
Do people here like to draw this kind of little red pig?
In the next second, the smile on Cheng Zhou's face gradually froze, his eyelids twitched instantly, and he immediately stood up and stared at the thin man who was evasive.
This cloth bag was obviously exactly the same as the one Sister Song was carrying just now, even the little red pig was embroidered on the same patch.
Without thinking about it, Cheng Zhou hurriedly left a mental mark on this person, turned around and ran to the street where he met Sister Song before, spreading his mental power ahead of time to search.
Halfway through the run, Cheng Zhou's footsteps paused slightly, and the scene of the return of his mental power made the soles of his feet panic with fright. Sister Song, who was talking to him with a smile before, quietly lay in a dead corner of the alley with her eyes closed. There was a large pool of bright red blood.
God, he really guessed it right.
Cheng Zhou's scalp was numb, so he quickened his pace and ran towards the entrance of the alley. He looked around anxiously. He didn't know what was going on in this alley. There was no one visible to the naked eye. How could he save people?
With his strength, he can't even move a person, so how can he send him to the hospital in time?
The mental power hurriedly swept around, and happened to see a man in a green military uniform. Seeing the soldier's tall and burly appearance, strength is absolutely indispensable.
Cheng Zhou turned around and ran towards the alley where the comrade of the People's Liberation Army was, and shouted at the man from afar: "Hey, Comrade People's Liberation Army, come here quickly, come and help, people are dying here soon." Is there any help, I hope everything can be done in time.
Hearing that, the man rushed over immediately in three steps and two steps, "What did you just say? What killed someone?"
"Hurry up, run fast, run to the entrance of this alley, turn right and you will be rescued, I can't hold her." Cheng Zhou hurriedly urged him.
The man also knew that human life was at stake, so he didn't dare to delay for a moment. After figuring out the location, he ran to the place pointed by Cheng Zhou.
It's going to kill me.
Before Cheng Zhou could run halfway, the man rushed out with Sister Song in his arms, and said urgently, "I'm still alive, I'll take her to the hospital first, little comrade—"
"Stop talking nonsense, hurry to the hospital." Cheng Zhou interrupted him, urging him to go to the hospital.
"Okay." Before the words finished, the man held Sister Song firmly, tried his best to make the pregnant woman in his arms less bumpy, and immediately ran to the hospital at a faster pace.
Seeing that the PLA comrade left him far behind, Cheng Zhou was not in a hurry to run after him for the time being, and stopped and bent over to catch his breath.
Damn, I ran too hard just now, my chest hurts after panting, and my legs are a little weak, Cheng Zhou leaned his back against the wall, pressing his chest to let himself slowly recover.
I didn't pay attention when I was running, the straw hats were all tilted behind my head, but fortunately there was a rope on the straw hats around the neck, so I didn't get lost halfway.
He couldn't help but look up at the blue sky, which was deep and far away, with light white clouds and bright sunlight.
No matter at any time, compared with this tiny and vast universe, human life is always too fragile.
"Yeah." Cheng Zhou put his cheek against his forehead boldly, "I know."
