Chen Qi sighed when he saw Chen Cheng didn't say anything. Just when he was about to take Hu Zi away, Chen Cheng finally spoke:
"What are you thinking about? When did I say I was going to kick you out?"
Chen Qi, who was originally in a low mood, suddenly had a fascinating light in his eyes:
"Boss Chen, you mean...you mean we can stay???"
Chen Cheng answered irrelevantly and said with a smile: "In the future, you can take care of Hu Zi and teach him more when you have nothing to do. If he works hard, you will definitely benefit from it."
Just because he always takes Hu Zi with him wherever he goes, Chen Cheng will not drive him away. There are not many people who are so loyal and righteous these days.
Chen Qi nodded quickly, his face full of joy. After wandering for so long, he finally had a place to settle down.
Thinking of this, I couldn't help but burst into tears. I adjusted my mentality before speaking:
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you, Boss. I'll do my best and live up to your trust!"
He didn't stop there after making his promise. He quickly pulled Hu Zi, who was picking up his small bag, and urged him:
"Huzi, hurry up and thank the old man!"
Although Hu Zi was stupid, he basically understood what the two people were talking about. The eldest brother said that if he stayed, he would not only have a warm room to sleep in, but also hot meals to eat.
So he quickly stuffed the bag back into his eldest brother's hands, bowed to Chen Cheng in a serious manner, and said seriously:
"Thank you, Boss."
"Well, you're hungry, right? There are steamed buns in the kitchen. Go get two and follow me."
To be honest, Chen Cheng had a good impression of Hu Zi. He looked simple and had the intelligence of an eight or nine-year-old child.
Even though he is not smart, he is obedient. Judging from the fact that he carries a stone on his head wherever he goes, he is really strong. It will definitely come in handy when he is unloading goods or pushing a cart in the future.
Hu Zi danced with joy when he heard that and ran to the kitchen without saying a word. Hey, there's food!
Chen Qi couldn't bear to see his silly brother like this, so he covered his face and carefully said:
"Thank you, sir. We will definitely work harder."
Chen Cheng waved his hand: "I will take you to see the monkey in a while. You just follow him from now on. He will arrange a place for you to stay. We can talk about the future after the old deer gets better."
"good!"
Chen Qi had no objection. As long as he could have food to eat and a place to live, he didn't expect anything else.
In this way, Chen Cheng temporarily took over Lu Xie's position in the coal trade and was busy all day long.
Even the injured Lu Xie was not idle. He dragged his broken waist every day and got up before dawn to cook for Chen Cheng. When he came back in the evening, he had to prepare dinner and supper for him. The two of them got along happily despite being so busy.
————————————————
Let’s go back to the guesthouse.
Since Lu Wensheng and the other man went to bed early the night before, they woke up before dawn the next day.
As soon as she opened her eyes, Shen Lingling was thinking about what breakfast to make. It was not until she saw the white walls around her that she remembered that she and Shengsheng were staying in a guesthouse.
Suddenly not having to get up early to cook was a bit strange. Shen Lingling shook Lu Wensheng who was in a daze beside her and asked:
"Shengsheng, what are we doing today?"
Lu Wensheng replied without blinking: "Sleep a little longer, it's still early, only five o'clock...
When we wake up, we'll go to the state-owned restaurant to eat fried dough sticks and drink bean curd, then go to the Friendship Store to buy some food, and finally pick up Shen Wangzhi and go home."
"good!"
Shen Lingling was really obedient. The two of them slept until seven o'clock. When the alarm clock rang, they slowly got up and got dressed.
Shen Lingling went downstairs to get a pot of hot water, and after they finished washing up, they started to pack up.
On the oxcart outside the door, Shen Lingling looked at the slightly gloomy sky and felt a little worried:
"Shengsheng, do you think it will snow heavily soon?"
Lu Wensheng nodded: "Of course, we have to hurry and leave."
The two of them hurriedly finished their meal and came to the Friendship Store. As soon as they entered the store, they were spotted by the sharp-eyed Zhang Chunxia, who stood behind the counter and said in surprise:
"Shengsheng, Lingling! Why are you here in the middle of winter? Are you cold?"
Lu Wensheng and Shen Lingling looked at each other, and saw helplessness in each other's eyes. Damn, how could they have forgotten that Zhang Chunxia was here...
Zhang Chunxia is the female comrade that Lu Wensheng rescued from the human traffickers last time. Her father is the director of the Public Security Bureau, but he caused some unpleasant incidents in the Ping'an Brigade last time.
Because he had no intention of becoming close friends, Lu Wensheng had forgotten about the father and daughter, and now he felt a little uncomfortable meeting them.
But who is Lu Wensheng? He is a social expert who is good at dealing with people. He immediately showed a bright smile and walked forward to say warmly:
"Sister Chunxia, we just arrived today and will go back after buying some things."
Zhang Chunxia was a little worried that Shengsheng would distance herself from her because of her father, but now that she saw how enthusiastic she was, she finally let go of her worries and grabbed Lu Wensheng's hand and said with concern:
"Isn't it cold outside? How did you get here? Come to my house for lunch at noon!"
Lu Wensheng hurriedly shook his head: "Sister Chunxia, we won't have dinner. We came here in the brigade's ox cart. Our brigade leader is still waiting for us at the grain station. It's about to snow, and we have to hurry back soon. We'll meet again next time."
We can't get together, even if we are not in a hurry to go back, even if it is not snowing, we will not get together. Some people can only be casual acquaintances.
Zhang Chunxia was a little disappointed after being rejected, but she perked up when she heard Lu Wensheng say that they would meet again next time:
"Okay, then you must come to see me next time you come."
"Of course! Sister Chunxia, I want to buy something, so I need to..."
Lu Wensheng didn't want to continue chatting with her. He had to hurry to the village and couldn't waste time.
He quickly bought everything he wanted and took Shen Lingling away.
Only after leaving the house did he breathe a sigh of relief: "Oh my god, Sister Chunxia is so enthusiastic, it's simply unbearable!"
Shen Lingling laughed: "It is true. Don't think too much. Let's go to the family compound to pick them up. It's getting darker."
The two decided to come to the Friendship Store less often in the future.
Lu Wensheng also looked up at the sky. The clouds were getting lower and lower. It seemed that a big storm was brewing!
Before I reached the family compound, I saw a tall and straight figure standing at the gate with a large suitcase next to him. It looked like he had been waiting for a long time.
Lu Wensheng subconsciously looked at the watch on his wrist. It was exactly half past nine. What was he doing waiting at the door so early...
In fact, Shen Qingchen had been waiting here since he arrived at nine o'clock. The reason was that when he got up in the morning, he saw that the sky was gloomy and it looked like it was going to snow, so he guessed that Shengsheng might come early.
In order to save time, he simply came out an hour earlier.
