Chapter 38 Follow You
The rain stopped in the middle of the night. Today is a sunny day. The sun was hot early in the morning, shining on the moist earth. A thin layer of water vapor was rising in the air.
This is the weather in this season, but it is very hard for vegetable farmers, especially for crops like eggplant. In this kind of weather, the good eggplant will rot little by little.
My eldest brother and his wife went to the field early in the morning and said they wanted to drain the eggplant ditch, hoping to relieve the problem.
Lin Chuxia also went out, taking with her the beef sauce and fried peppers she had made the night before and the letter. She went to the post office first. After sending the things, Lin Chuxia went to the vicinity of the train station.
Firstly, I want to continue looking for a suitable house, and secondly, I want to try my luck.
She met Su Wensong there yesterday, and thought his home should be nearby.
Lin Chuxia should thank him for his help several times.
As a result, she really caught up with him. Just as she arrived near the train station, she saw a man walking hurriedly from afar. Who else could it be but Su Wensong?
"Brother Su," Lin Chuxia called out.
Su Wensong heard the voice and saw the woman opposite him. A simple smile appeared on his somewhat weathered face. "It's my sister. Are you not doing business today?"
He passed by here every day and knew that Lin Chuxia sold buns.
He even thought about whether he could start a small business, but later rejected the idea.
He doesn't even like the food he cooks, so who would buy it?
"I'll set up the stall again in the afternoon. Where are you going, Brother Su? I was just about to find Brother Su to thank him. Thank you so much for these two times."
As she spoke, she handed over the things she had bought on the way, two cans of food and two pounds of peach cakes.
Lin Chuxia didn’t buy anything too expensive. She had seen a lot of people in her previous life, so she could tell a bit about their faces.
Su Wensong is a down-to-earth person. He helps her only because she is honest and has good character. He would not accept anything too expensive.
She didn't buy any cigarettes or alcohol. Although Su Wensong looked haggard, he was a very clean person and didn't look like a smoker. As for alcohol, it was hard to say, but he was definitely not an alcoholic.
He has a grandmother at home, so he is more willing to accept food than cigarettes and alcohol.
Sure enough, Su Wensong declined with some restraint, "It's just a small favor, you are too polite, sister, please take the things back, I can't accept them."
"Brother Su, your little help has helped me a lot. No matter it was when we were chasing the robbers that day or yesterday, without your little help, I would have suffered a great loss. I originally felt that these few things were too little. If you don't accept them, it means you don't think highly of these few things from me," she said with a look of appropriate shame.
Su Wensong raised his hand, not knowing what to say, and finally took the thing from her hand, "Big sister, I really didn't mean that. By the way, my home is in this alley. Come over and have a drink of water. My grandma is at home."
The last sentence was to tell Lin Chuxia that he was not the only one in the family.
A casual remark can reflect Su Wensong's character. Lin Chuxia felt a little worried and nodded, "Okay, then I'll bother you, grandma."
Su Wensong walked in front and took Lin Chuxia directly back home.
I walked a few steps into the alley and pushed open the door of the first house.
Lin Chuxia's eyes brightened, it was indeed so.
"Grandma, I'm back," Su Wensong shouted into the house after entering the yard.
Soon, the old lady that Lin Chuxia saw that day walked out of the house.
"Why did you come back so soon?" Halfway through her words, the old lady perked up when she saw Lin Chuxia behind Su Wensong, "Whose... whose girl is this?" She is so pretty.
"Grandma, I'm Brother Su's friend Lin Chuxia. I came to see you. You can just call me Xiao Lin."
Before Su Wensong could speak, Lin Chuxia introduced herself first.
Grandma Su's smile got even bigger, and her wrinkles were squeezed together. She took Lin Chuxia's hand and led her into the house, "Hey, okay, come in, come in quickly."
After entering the house, she saw her grandson still standing stupidly at the door. "Go to the train station and buy some peanuts and melon seeds for Xiaolin. Oh, and buy some candy from the candy seller. Girls like sweet things. I'll go boil some hot water." Without saying anything, she went to the wing room, her little feet walking very fast.
Seeing her energetic appearance, Su Wensong knew that her grandmother had gotten off track. He smiled helplessly at Lin Chuxia, "My grandmother is old and sometimes confused. Don't mind what she says. I'm going to go out for a while and will be back soon."
Lin Chuxia knew what the two meant, but she didn't take it to heart. She stopped Su Wensong and said, "Brother Su, you don't have to go. I just happened to have something else to talk to you about."
When he heard that there was something wrong, Su Wensong became more serious. "You tell me, I will definitely help if I can."
Lin Chuxia smiled, "Brother Su, have you always been like this? What if I'm a liar..."
Su Wensong smiled brightly, "Sister, you really think highly of me. I'm alone, what can I lie about?" And he didn't treat everyone like this.
That day, he saw Lin Chuxia teach a robber a lesson with his own eyes. He also saw that she was a girl running a business on her own. No matter how, Su Wensong admired Lin Chuxia from the bottom of his heart.
A woman lives more energetically than a grown man like him.
Lin Chuxia didn't beat around the bush this time and told him directly that she wanted to rent his house to open a bun shop.
She saw it when she first entered the yard. Su Wensong's small courtyard is adjacent to the road. The back of the east wing faces the train station. The family is simple, with only the old grandmother and Su Wensong. Even if someone lives in the yard, it will not affect anything, not to mention...
"If I'm not mistaken, Brother Su is looking for a job these days. I wonder what Brother Su thinks of self-employed people? If the bun shop is open, I just happen to be short of staff. The salary is 35 yuan, two days off a month, and if you don't take a day off, you can get an extra two yuan. If you do a good job, the salary may be increased."
When he heard that his house was rented to open a bun shop, Su Wensong sat up straight.
He was an educated youth who was sent to the countryside. Because of some things, he was assigned to the most difficult place. He finally returned to the city.
Lai Ye arranged a job for him, but he didn't expect it to be snatched away by his cousin's family.
His parents also couldn't get over those things in their early years, so he and his grandmother were the only ones left at home. No one was willing to help him, and they kept passing the buck back and forth.
It would not be impossible to open a bun shop with Lin Chuxia.
A salary of 35 yuan is not low. He was assigned to work in a machinery factory, where he had to be an apprentice for a year and the salary was less than 30 yuan. After completing the apprenticeship, he had to move up one level at a time, and the salary for a first-level worker was only 35 yuan, not to mention the rent.
He now lives on his grandmother's savings. If he and Lin Chuxia work together, his grandmother will be able to enjoy her old age.
In just a moment, Su Wensong decided, "Big sister, I'll follow you."
