Chapter 57 The House is Finally in Hand
"It hasn't been decided yet, but I submitted the proposal I wrote yesterday. This morning, Station Yang talked to me and approved of my proposal. He gave me full responsibility for the rest of the work, and the power in my hands has increased a little bit."
Now that you have all the power, why should you care about your position? It's only a matter of time.
Speaking of which, Li Jian felt that Lin Chuxia was really his benefactor. He had been working at the vegetable station for four or five years and had always been on the front line until he met Lin Chuxia. A few words from her got him a small position, and now he was personally named by Station Yang.
This is different from the previous promotion. Yang personally orders, so even if he still sits in the original position, his status in the vegetable station is different.
What's more, the task at hand is a major one for the vegetable station. If he succeeds, his next position will definitely not be low.
After hearing this, Lin Chuxia understood what was going on. Seeing that he still had something else to do, she didn't waste any more of his time.
There was no time left today, so Lin Chuxia found a deserted place and used her bag to put the money into the space.
She doesn't rely on the space to live, but she still wants to use this convenience to reduce risks.
The next morning, after finishing the business of the steamed bun shop, Lin Chuxia took Su Wensong to find the landlord and went to the Housing Management Office to go through the transfer procedures.
The name on the title deed was the man’s father’s. During this period, some other procedures were completed, and the transfer procedures were not completed until the afternoon.
After leaving the Housing Management Office with the title deed with the changed owner, Lin Chuxia breathed a sigh of relief.
After a few days of hard work, I finally got the house.
The two of them didn't eat much at noon. Now that they had finished their work, they went straight back to Baozi.
shop.
Before I reached the door of the bun shop, I saw a wandering figure under the big tree opposite the bun shop from afar.
Lin Chuxia handed the bag to Su Wensong, gestured to him to keep quiet, tiptoed behind the man, raised her hand and patted him gently, "Hi, old man."
"Oh, you little bitch, you're going to scare me to death."
Mr. He’s beard stood up and he stared at her.
Lin Chuxia looked the old man up and down. Even though she had known him for such a long time, the old man had always been wearing dusty, patched clothes, which she didn't know how long it had been since he had washed them.
Today, not only is his outfit free of patches, it is also clean. If you look closely, you can see that his hair and beard are also well-groomed.
"Grandpa, you are dressed so nicely today. Are you attracted to some old lady?" He covered his mouth as if he had suddenly realized something. "No wonder you look so sneaky. It's not good for you to be like this..."
Mr. He’s beard curled even more, he was angry.
"You little rascal, you have no respect for your elders, what old lady, you are sneaky... You need to be disciplined."
He put his hands behind his back, snorted coldly, and walked towards the bun shop.
Lin Chuxia smiled, winked at Su Wensong and raised her chin. Su Wensong smiled and shook his head helplessly.
There were no customers in the bun shop at this time, so the old man found a table in the middle and sat down steadily.
Seeing Lin Chuxia coming in, he said directly, "Girl, don't you want to recognize me as your master? Come on, Wensong, go call your grandmother and let her be the witness."
Not only Lin Chuxia, but even Su Wensong didn't expect this.
He knew more about Mr. He's situation than Lin Chuxia did. The fact that the old man took the initiative to accept Lin Chuxia as his apprentice showed that he was ready to move on.
"Oh, I'll go right away."
Lin Chuxia stopped Su Wensong, approached Mr. He and asked with a smile, "How did you come to your senses? You haven't come to the bun shop these few days, I thought you were scared away, but it turns out you weren't scared, you went to prepare for the apprenticeship ceremony?"
Mr. He had a proud look on his face. "Why, you won't become my disciple without the apprenticeship gift? Are you trying to regret by stopping the Su family kid? Then I guess I made a mistake in choosing the right person. I'm leaving now."
After saying that, he was about to leave angrily, but Lin Chuxia grabbed him.
"How can that be possible? You seem so stingy. I don't think so. Since I am becoming your disciple, I have to be more formal. I will cook for you myself and prepare a few delicious dishes. I will also prepare a bottle of wine. Grandma Su will be the witness, and everyone in the bun shop will come to watch the ceremony. I, Lin Chuxia's master, must be respectable."
Mr. He's expression finally eased, and he looked a little unnatural. "That... that's not necessary. Now is a new society, and those things are not popular anymore. Just give me two more glasses of apprenticeship wine."
"No problem. Would you like to sit in the store for a while or go chat with Grandma Su? I'll make you something delicious. Is there anything you want to eat?"
Lin Chuxia felt that this old man was really easy to please, and the more such a person was, the softer his heart was.
Perhaps this is why he committed suicide in the despair of losing his loved ones in his previous life.
Mr. He waved his hand casually, "It's all right, it's up to you."
"I see. You like to eat meat."
"Stinky girl..."
Mr. He walked towards the backyard while cursing with a stern face, but he couldn't keep the smile off his face.
"Boss, congratulations," Su Wensong congratulated first.
Lin Chuxia was indeed happy. "Today is a double happiness. Let's go to the butcher shop to see if they have spare ribs or pork elbows. Then buy a fish. If there are any fresh seafood items, let's buy some as well."
After instructing Su Wensong, she said to the three people working in the kitchen, "Lanlan, Aunt Sun, Third Brother, finish the work. We'll close early today."
Sun Lanlan ran out first, "What's wrong, Chuxia? Is there something wrong?"
"Something good is going on. I'm going to recognize my master. Let's have some fun tonight."
Aunt Sun came over and asked, "Do you really want to accept that weird old man as your master?"
She also sold buns at the train station and knew Mr. He. In their eyes, he was just a weird old man with some mental problems.
Lin Chuxia nodded.
"Oh, if it weren't for the kindness of Boss Lin, I heard that he was just an old man living alone."
Lin Chuxia didn't explain anything. Since Mr. He didn't want to practice medicine anymore, he probably didn't want others to know his identity.
She took Mr. He as her master without expecting anything in return. It was enough as long as the old man could have a spiritual sustenance and enjoy his old age.
If some regrets could be avoided, it would be worth her living this life again.
Lin Chuxia cooked dinner herself, and she prepared braised pork elbow, braised spareribs, steamed fish, blanched shrimps, and several other main dishes, as well as a few home-cooked dishes.
The table was set up in the Su family's courtyard. The bun shop didn't make many buns in the afternoon and closed early.
Just as a few people gathered around the table, someone knocked on the door of the bun shop.
"I'll go take a look," Sun Lanlan said as she stood up.
Lin Chuxia nodded, "Go ahead, tell them to take a half-day break today and open as normal tomorrow."
We closed early today, so it's inevitable that some old customers will ask about it.
The steamed bun shop had a door facing the street. When Sun Lanlan opened it, she saw a uniformed policeman standing outside, raising his hand as if he was about to knock on the door again.
"Hello, the bun shop is closed for half a day today. If you want to buy buns, please come back tomorrow. We will be open as usual tomorrow."
Sun Hao looked at the unfamiliar girl and smiled, "I don't want to buy buns. I'm looking for my mother."
