After sending Zhang Yuansheng off, Lin Qiu walked alone.
The moon hangs yellow in the sky, and many street lights compete with it to disperse the darkness. The houses in the capital are not high-rise buildings now, and the low and flat alleys are winding.
Many sycamore leaves fell on the ground and no one was cleaning them. At this time, everyone swept the fallen leaves in front of the door and chatted for a while. The relationship in the village was very harmonious.
Looking at the quaint streets, Lin Qiu couldn't imagine that in a few years, this place would become unrecognizable, as if it had been invaded by cyberspace, and tall buildings would rise from the ground.
His footsteps became more and more floating, as if he was not stepping on the ground. He walked to the place where the monkey was helping.
Monkey hasn't gotten off work yet. The car repair shop where he works is doing very well, with a constant flow of people coming and going. He also works very neatly. The boss likes him very much and gave him a salary increase two days ago.
Lin Qiu quietly walked over and sat down on a chair quietly.
Monkey saw a young man sitting under the gray light. Even with the light behind him, he couldn't see the appearance of the person. Out of professional necessity, he greeted him with a smile: "Sir, it's really unfortunate. Our store has been closed. Can you please I have to repair my car, so come back tomorrow.”
Monkey is very skilled in treating customers, his mouth is a lot sweeter, and he even has a bit of Beijing accent. It seems that he is having a prosperous life in this shop.
Lin Qiu smiled and patted Monkey on the shoulder: "Look who I am."
Only then did the monkey notice that the person who came was Lin Qiu. He wiped his hands that were full of car oil on his clothes and immediately slapped Lin Qiu in return: "Long time no see, you didn't contact us and just gave us a few items." Who cares about clothes?"
The monkey was talking angrily. Ever since Lin Qiu entered college, he felt that the distance between him and Lin Qiu was getting farther and farther. He had dinner with Le Fang and the others that day.
Dumpling said a few words, "Brother Qiu won't forget us all, right?" ’, which made everyone very sad. In fact, they all felt that Lin Qiu was no longer in the same class as them.
Lin Qiu knew that he was in the wrong. He had been busy with work and studies recently, and also participated in Zhou Xiaotong's music training, so he had neglected Monkey and the others.
"Didn't I come to find you?" Lin Qiu sneered.
The monkey made a sound: "I think you went out to play crazy, and you can't go back after the dormitory is closed."
Monkey didn't go to college, but he knew that there was a dormitory closing time. It seemed that he had really understood it. Lin Qiu felt warm in her heart, but he was not a person who liked to express his feelings, so he could only say one sentence dryly.
"Go, prepare some food for me. I have good news for you." Lin Qiu pushed the monkey. He was still a little drunk and couldn't speak clearly.
The monkey curled his lips and kicked Lin Qiu's legs.
He went to say hello to the owner of the store and planned to buy a plate of cold dishes. The owner liked monkeys very much, and it happened to be time to get off work, so he let the monkeys play with friends and gave him a car wash coupon.
The monkey smiled and agreed. He ran to the restaurant next door to buy some food and brought it back to Lin Qiu.
Lin Qiu took two peanuts and said, "It's a good life here. I think the boss is very nice." Monkeys are smart and willing to endure hardships. No matter where you work, you will definitely be a good helper.
"Indeed, the wages in the city are high and the treatment is good." Monkey opened a bottle of wine.
At that time, car repair was a popular industry. We all have tricycles and bicycles at home, and we have no education. High school education has not yet become widespread, so no one knows the basic physics knowledge needed to repair a car.
You can only take your car to a car repair shop like this for repairs. In the next few years, there will be fewer such shops and they will almost disappear.
"That's good. I've negotiated a business deal with a boss. We can probably make a lot of money." Lin Qiu came to inform Monkey and the others as soon as he thought of a profitable business.
Monkey thought about it for a moment. He had just come to this store to study. It would definitely not be good to ask for leave all the time.
Lin Qiu saw Monkey's concerns: "It doesn't take much time. You and Lefang and the others can take turns going to the train station to keep an eye on them. It won't take a long time. Find a time tomorrow to call Lefang and the others out for an appointment."
It’s easier to talk when everyone is present.
Leprous said yes, it’s time for everyone to get together.
"Where are you sleeping today? You can't go back to the dormitory, right?"
Lin Qiu smiled and held Monkey's shoulders: "Let's squeeze in. It's cold, so the two of us can sleep warm..."
Monkey slapped Lin Qiu's hand away in disgust: "Go, go, I only have one quilt, and I sleep on the top bunk."
"It's okay." Lin Qiu happened to be in someone's upper bunk at school.
After a good night's sleep, Monkey took Lin Qiu to the restaurant where Leper and the others worked at noon the next day.
It was during meal time, and the three children were shuttled between the guests and the tables. He held a variety of dishes in his hands, and the dishes here were much more refined and cleaner than those in their town. The three children ate the meals provided by the hotel and became much fatter than before.
Boys aged thirteen or four are really growing up. The biggest leprosy here may be the supplementation of nutrients. I grew a lot taller all of a sudden. Lin Qiu came and saw Leprosy but didn't recognize it yet.
The three children were very happy to see their old acquaintances. But they still had to work, so they arranged a window seat for Lin Qiuhou.
Monkey held the menu, wore an apron and a staff hat, and said vividly in front of Lin Qiu: "Welcome, two guests, what do you want?"
Dumpling also smiled mischievously: "I will never eat secretly when I serve you food."
"Hahaha." Lin Qiu became more cheerful when he saw the dumplings, and his mood improved a lot. The three children were obviously much happier in the city than in the town.
"You go about your business first. When you get off work, let's get together again." Monkey said.
Lin Qiu ordered some hearty meat dishes. He had previously sent them living expenses. He confiscated all three children, so he quietly gave them to the restaurant owner, hoping that he could take more care of them. After all, he was the one who brought them out.
The men talked loudly while drinking, the women chatted about household matters while eating vegetables, and the children were greedy and walked around the table legs, asking if the adults would pass them a chicken drumstick. It's all peaceful, but occasionally a few drunkards go crazy and lepers can talk, so just go and comfort them with a few words.
The taste of this restaurant is good. Although it is a bit expensive, the portion is larger than other restaurants. It also provides hot water. After finishing the meal, I sat here for a while and no one came to ask me to leave. It can be seen that the boss Very business minded.
The owner of the restaurant is a middle-aged woman with a good figure. She has permed curly hair and a smooth and full forehead, which is pulled back with a silk scarf. He seems to be a generous and shrewd person.
After dinner, Dumpling and Dog Boy cleared the table and moved the dishes and chopsticks. Lefeng approached Lin Qiu and asked, "Brother Qiu, why did you come to us?"
Lin Qiu could see that the store was very busy, and was embarrassed to speak.
Le Fang explained: "There is a festival in the past few days, so I have been quite busy. Other times, I basically don't come to the restaurant to eat, so we take a break."
The hotel itself is a place divided into high season and low season.
"That's a good relationship. Let me find you a job soliciting customers. Earn some extra money." Lin Qiu told everyone what she and Zhang Yuansheng had discussed. Everyone thought it was a good business, and they hit it off immediately and started planning. content.
