Chapter 174 One More Person
Sure enough, a few days later, when Xie Yi finished training and received the letter from home, he was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
"Xie Dayi, what are you laughing at? Let me see it too."
As soon as Xiongchuan entered the room, he saw that the man had a half-smile on his face, and he leaned over curiously.
Xie Yi closed the letter in an instant and walked out with his long legs.
"Why are you everywhere? Just eat your meal."
"Hey, you, where are you going?"
"I have something to do."
Xie Yi replied from outside the door that he was going to ask the food store on the island if they had any dried fruits left.
A few days ago, I saw someone drying bananas. The lady thought he was sweet-talking and gave him a few slices.
It tastes quite good, with a strong banana flavor, but it's a bit hard on your teeth.
Xiong Chuan stood alone at the dormitory door, looked downstairs, and shook his head.
"Look at your worthless smile day by day."
"Forget it, forget it. Isn't it just having a wife? What's the big deal? It's not like I don't have one!"
"Woo woo woo, I really don't have any."
Xiongchuan was suddenly overwhelmed with grief and quickly took a mouthful of rice to fill his stomach, turning his grief and anger into appetite.
…
"I think I may have succeeded this time."
Lin Xiaotong heard these words as soon as she sat down on the bench at work.
I almost choked while drinking water and quickly patted my chest.
"Sister Cuicui, your speed is amazing!"
Looking at He Cuicui's shy look, she exuded the sour smell of love.
Lin Xiaotong was also scared, mainly because He Cuicui's road to marriage was quite bumpy.
I finally reached the end of the road, but at the last moment I found there was a big pit below. I tried to stop myself several times.
"Who is it? Is the person introduced this time reliable?"
He Cuicui came over and whispered, "You know this person."
"I know him? Who?"
Could it be someone from the compound?
She was still dizzy from just getting to work and hadn't figured it out yet. Anyway, she didn't guess it.
"It's Chang'an."
"What? Brother Nengzi?"
Lin Xiaotong's eyes widened as she looked at He Cuicui who nodded embarrassedly.
She didn't expect that these two people would meet each other, but it just so happened that Ernengzi didn't have a partner yet, so Aunt Qiaofeng must be very happy this time.
"Come on, come on, tell me more."
Just as the two little heads were about to come over, they saw Manager Cai coming over.
Following behind was a young female comrade, who was tall and looked like someone who was not easy to mess with.
Manager Xiao Cai introduced: "This is the new Xiao Qin. He will be a comrade in our department store from now on."
"We have a lot of stuff on the first floor, and we don't have enough staff when we're busy. So we're separating the ready-to-wear section and turning it into a new counter."
"Xiao Qin, you take charge of that area."
As soon as the words fell, everyone looked at Yan Yue. Originally, ready-made clothes, fabrics and other things were gathered on one counter.
Now someone has been added out of the blue, and judging from Yan Yue's expression, he has no idea what's going on.
But looking at Manager Cai's polite behavior, it's rare to see him like this. I guess he is someone important.
Sister Mei said first: "That's great, with one more person, our place will be more lively from now on."
Lin Xiaotong didn't say anything. She glanced at the female comrade whose expression had eased a little, then looked away with a professional fake smile on her face.
"Xiao Qin, the counter hasn't been cleaned up yet. There's still a bunch of stuff..."
Manager Cai was interrupted before he could finish his words.
"Then I'll come back to work tomorrow."
After saying that, he left without even turning back, and without even saying hello or anything. Manager Cai was almost embarrassed.
Lin Xiaotong and He Cuicui looked at each other and didn't dare to speak.
After everyone had left, the people on the first floor dared to speak.
He Cuicui calmed her heart: "My God, that person is so brave."
Lin Xiaotong nodded and said, "Looks like he's from quite a prominent background."
This person's style of doing things is extremely flamboyant. He is probably a close relative of a powerful leader. Most people would not be so disrespectful to Manager Cai.
Sister Mei saw through it immediately: "It looks like he just graduated from high school and was arranged here instead of going to the countryside."
"From the looks of it, he seems like someone you don't want to mess with. We have to be more careful when we gossip about him from now on."
Yan Yue really hated people like this coming in. If they were unhappy, they would cause chaos and there would be no peace.
This small chat and tea party of their melon-eating team will probably have to be disbanded temporarily.
When He Cuicui thought of this, she quickly moved to Lin Xiaotong and continued chatting.
If you don’t say it today, you won’t be able to speak so freely in the future. You have to be careful, after all, trouble comes from the mouth.
"I wasn't..."
…
When she got off work, He Cuicui even took the trouble to comb her hair and stood on the side of the road waiting for people.
"Hey, why aren't you leaving yet?"
"You go back first, I'll wait for someone."
"Okay, I'll be leaving first."
Lin Xiaotong was also in a hurry to go back and eat. After riding a few steps, she saw Er Nengzi coming from another intersection.
I understood it all at once.
A man rode his bike in the breeze, bought a few melons on the way and put them in a net bag, and soon arrived home.
As soon as I reached the entrance of the alley, I met Xia Yue who was getting off work. I stopped and asked her.
"Ahem, comrade, would you like a ride?"
"Ah, it's Xiaotong."
Xia Yue was holding something in her hands and listening to the sound. When she looked up, she saw Lin Xiaotong smiling at her.
"Come on." He said and patted the back seat.
I thought to myself: Zhiwen is really something. He hasn’t caught up with me yet. Brother Nengzi will be getting married soon.
No wonder Hu Tou is always worried, the progress of the two is too slow.
She wanted to have a banquet again.
Xia Yue got into the back seat with her things in one hand and held the seat with the other hand. The two of them talked as they walked.
The car turned into the alley. It took two turns from the entrance of the alley to their compound, and there were not many houses here.
The space in the bend is still very small and can only accommodate two people in and out.
It would be easy to hit it if you are not careful, but Lin Xiaotong’s driving skills are getting more and more proficient now, and she can pass it with her eyes closed.
Just as I passed the second bend, a hand suddenly appeared and stretched out to block me.
Lin Xiaotong was so scared that she let go of the handle with one hand, kicked it over, picked up the thin bamboo stick in the front basket of the cart, and swung it violently.
“Snap—”
"ah--"
Suddenly, he hit someone, probably on the face.
She was about to ride back quickly when she felt a sudden force from behind and someone grabbed the rear end of the bike, pulling it so that she couldn't move forward.
Xia Yue was sitting in the back seat. Someone pulled her long hair and she gritted her teeth and kicked the person hard.
"You stinky bitch, you dare to hit me."
A man's rough voice sounded, and he slapped Xia Yue in the face. Her face was twisted by the blow, and he dragged her away.
Lin Xiaotong quickly turned around and swung the thin bamboo stick at the man.
While beating him, he shouted: "Help, help, there's a kidnapper, help quickly!"
She is not mute, so the important thing is to call someone quickly.
Sure enough, after hearing this, footsteps were heard coming from the side.
"Just wait for me, bitch."
The man couldn't pull away Xia Yue's hand that was clinging to it for a while, and glared at Lin Xiaotong fiercely.
He slapped Xia Yue again and ran away in panic.
Lin Xiaotong took the opportunity to see the man's appearance clearly and memorized it.
Even if she chased him now, she wouldn't be able to beat him, so she would go down and report to the police.
"What's the matter? Where's the kidnapper?"
She heard Gao Xiulan's voice before anyone arrived, so she quickly shouted a few more times.
"Mom, come on, I'm here."
Gao Xiulan was holding a rolling pin in her hand, followed by Guan Lamei, her footsteps pounding.
