Chapter 182: Finding Old Wu to Make a Bed
Zhuang Chaoying didn't recognize anyone, so she went back to the alley and asked Wu Jianguo to help her build a bunk bed.
He hadn't been here for a long time, and when he reached the intersection he felt extremely unfamiliar.
The Li family's house has been turned into a storefront, and since it is getting off work, business is very good.
"Teacher Zhuang, you're here!" Uncle Li, who was watching over the store, greeted the customer while giving him change.
"Grandpa Li, Yiming's store is great! I only heard that he opened a store, but I didn't expect it to be so big!" Zhuang Chaoying walked into the store and took a look around.
"It's okay, it's okay," Grandpa Li smiled. "Are you here to look for Aling? The workshop is right in front of our house. She's working there and hasn't gone home yet. It's the end of the year and she's very busy."
Pengfei and Tunan both knew that Huang Ling had a workshop and an office here, but neither of them told Zhuang Chaoying.
She had already arranged for unpaid leave, but Zhuang Chaoying still listened to what Zhu Xiuyu said.
"Oh, I'm not looking for her, I'm looking for Old Wu." Zhuang Chaoying waved his hands quickly.
He walked into the alley and paused at the door of the workshop, then heard the sound of sewing machines and Huang Ling's bright voice.
"Tell me what you think about the New Year holiday. If I'm not here, you can tell Yiming and Song Ying. We can then arrange a unified shift. It won't affect your bonuses. Don't be afraid to say it."
"I understand, Sister Ling."
"Okay, Sister Ling."
"Sister Ling, I'll go back and discuss this with my family."
Several people in the room responded.
He looked inside through the window and saw a room full of people working hard.
The cloths in the room were also colorful, and you could tell they were made of different things, some coarse and some fine, and arranged in perfect order.
There are labels and papers of various colors on the machines and walls, and it seems that there are strict requirements for entering this room.
As he was watching, someone suddenly called him, "Teacher Zhuang."
Looking back, it was Zhou Huaiyi.
"Director Zhou."
"Are you here to see Xiaoling?" Zhou Huaiyi asked in a calm tone.
"Oh, no, no, no, I'm here to find Old Wu." Zhuang Chaoying couldn't help but take a step back.
"You are moving to a new house and buying furniture, right? I haven't congratulated you yet." Zhou Huaiyi said generously.
"Thank you, thank you."
Zhuang Chaoying said this as he walked into the alley.
Zhou Huaiyi knocked on the door, then pushed it open and walked in.
A young girl sitting in the front row first called him "Director Zhou" and then shouted into the inner room: "Sister Ling, Director Zhou is here to pick you up."
Huang Ling poked her head out of her office and said, "Right away!"
"No rush, take your time to pack." Zhou Huaiyi walked to the office door and waited.
Huang Ling packed her bag and went out, telling the people in the house: "When you finish what you have on hand, go home. It gets dark early now, which is bad for your eyes. The neighbors have also finished get off work."
"I know, Sister Ling!"
"Let's go home." Huang Ling took Zhou Huaiyi's hand.
The two of them left the house, and the people in the house chirped:
"Sister Ling said that if I had to walk to work instead of riding a bike to lose weight, Director Zhou would definitely come to pick me up."
"I can't lose any weight, and I still have to buy snacks on the way."
"Oh, I'm so envious!"
"Oh, jealousy!"
"Oh, hate it!"
"Hey, don't be angry. We don't have a chance. You still have a chance to pick a good one."
Zhou Huaiyi told Huang Ling that he had just seen Zhuang Chaoying and he went to find Wu Jianguo to make furniture.
"Oh, Tunan told me that we need a bunk bed that's as wide and sturdy as possible to avoid any impact from the top and bottom."
"Well, if it really doesn't work, let's bring Tuanan over. He can stay at home anyway." Zhou Huaiyi suggested again.
"We're on a retreat route, not the main route. Let's try it first. But thank you."
"What shall we eat today? Roasted sweet potatoes?" Zhou Huaiyi saw more and more vendors on the streets.
"I don't eat, I'm losing weight."
Sugar-roasted chestnuts
Huang Ling shook her head again.
"The stall selling crispy fried cakes is open."
"Where?" Huang Ling looked over.
......
Before Wu Jianguo came back, Zhang A'mei introduced the chickens and ducks she raised to Zhuang Chaoying, and asked him to take one back to eat.
When Zhuang Chaoying looked up, he saw Huang Ling walking out with Zhou Huaiyi.
Huang Ling was in the room just now and he didn't see her clearly, but now he could see her clearly.
So fashionable.
He only thought of this word.
Big wavy semi-long hair, brown lapel semi-long tweed coat, black pants, and brown leather boots.
When they reached the door, Zhou Huaiyi wrapped the plaid scarf in his hand around her neck.
"Teacher Zhuang, I see that your life is getting better and better. It's so good now that you have three rooms! Unlike us, we can hardly make ends meet." Zhang A'mei sighed.
Zhuang Chaoying retracted his gaze and replied, "How could that be? Old Wu and you are both hardworking people, and the three children are sensible. Things will definitely get better and better."
"What's the point of being diligent? Old Wu doesn't have carpentry work every day. Nowadays, people just use whatever they can use. Who would dare to make furniture? I can't make much money even if I sell all the chickens and ducks in my yard. It's not even as much as what someone can earn by making three or five pieces of clothing."
A-mei Zhang looked forward and made a small gesture.
Zhuang Chaoying knew she was talking about Huang Ling, so she asked, "You can make clothes too. I see you knit sweaters pretty well."
At this point, Zhang A-mei's face fell:
"She would rather go out and look for someone than me, so I can't shamelessly beg her! She brings people to our alley every day, isn't she afraid of losing things..."
"No, you don't have to worry about Huang Ling. She is not that kind of person, and naturally she won't choose unreliable people to work." Zhuang Chaoying retorted without thinking.
"Oh, you're divorced, but you're still speaking for your ex-wife!" Zhang A'mei said with a mocking look on her face.
Zhuang Chaoying pushed up his glasses and said, "She's not an enemy. I know her pretty well."
Zhang A'mei laughed strangely a few times: "She is the most evil person in the world! She bullies honest people like you and me!"
But she didn't say anything more. She invited him into the house and poured tea for Zhuang Chaoying:
"Teacher Zhuang, if you don't come to me this time, I might have to go to you."
Zhuang Chaoying took the tea, warmed his hands, and took a sip before asking, "What's the matter?"
Zhang A-mei sat down on the other side of the small table and whispered, "Xiao Min and Wu Shanshan are both graduating next year! I was thinking of asking you for some advice with Old Wu, since we don't understand much of this either, and you're so knowledgeable."
As he was speaking, Wu Jianguo came back.
Zhang A-mei stood up and immediately called out to Wu Jianguo: "Old Wu, you're back! Come on, Teacher Zhuang is here."
"Teacher Zhuang, you're here! That's great! My sister and I were just planning to go find you!"
Zhuang Chaoying originally had something important to do and was not here to serve as an advisor, so he said first:
"Old Wu, I'm here to ask you to build a bunk bed. I don't trust anyone else, but I'm not sure if you have the time. It's the end of the year."
When Wu Jianguo heard about the business, he naturally put his daughters' studies aside.
"I heard you got a room, congratulations! Did you take measurements?"
Zhuang Chaoying took out the notebook from his bag.
