"Brother Chou! Why didn't you open yesterday?"
"Brother Chou, the troublesome auntie said she would make you walk around without food!"
At this time, two naughty children rushed in, laughing very happily, saying one sentence to another,
"We were hungry all day yesterday! You have to be responsible."
Lin Chou composed himself speechlessly, still a little dizzy, "I'm hungry today too! I didn't buy groceries in the morning."
The group of naughty children suddenly became scared, "Brother Chou, don't, don't listen to Erhu's nonsense, we asked for leave for you yesterday!"
Erhu's father walked in and said, "Chouzi, what happened? You haven't been home for two days! Have the food prices increased again? Is that old witch Aunt Zizi coming to trouble you again? Otherwise, you guys You should keep that share, everyone is very grateful to you these years!"
The production committee and parents are each responsible for a portion of the lunch expenses, but Lin Chou has never charged a penny from the neighbors on Pythagorean Alley in the past three years, so Uncle Hu said this.
Lin Chou's heart warmed up and he said bitterly, "It's okay, Uncle Hu, this little shop will not be open from now on. Didn't I tell you a few days ago that the children can go to Ma Jiao Lane to eat from now on!" "
Uncle Hu sighed and patted Lin Chou on the shoulder, "This is the world of GR."
Erhu followed suit and said, "This GR is an old witch! We don't want to go to Wu Laosan's house for dinner!"
Uncle Tiger slapped his son on the back of the head, "You bastard, please speak up. Tomorrow, I will send you and Calabash Boy to the Qinshan Martial Arts School! Learn from me!"
Lin Chou exclaimed, "Uncle Hu, Erhu has turned 14 years old? So soon?"
Erhu's father chuckled and said, "Well, he can temper his loose temperament in the martial arts school. Even if he can't become an evolved person, he still has to develop a lot of strength. Maybe he can become a martial artist..."
"It is said that the better a person's physical fitness, the higher the chance of awakening and mutating. Uncle Tiger, Erhu will definitely do it!"
Uncle Hu had a longing smile on his face. He said nothing and turned to look at Er Hu fiercely.
Erhu, who was giggling, felt as if his father's gaze could penetrate his flesh and scratch back and forth on his bones, and he suddenly felt a chill.
He asked tremblingly, "Dad, dad, what are you looking at me and doing?"
"What are you looking at!?" Uncle Tiger yelled, and his amiable expression compared to just now suddenly turned cloudy. "Coward! I look at you and you're scared! You're such a coward and I can still point." You become an evolved person? Even if you have evolved, you are still an evolved coward!"
Erhu shrunk his neck and tried to run away. When he saw that he was too late, he was slapped with fried meat.
"Where's Calabash Baby?" Lin Chou calmly changed the subject, and Erhu cast a sly look of gratitude.
Sure enough, Uncle Hu forgot about his son, "Calabash Baby's mother couldn't bear to leave her child, so she took leave to run a small kitchen for her at home. It's not easy for an orphan and a widowed mother."
In the last days of martial arts, this kind of martial arts school for ordinary people also has evolved people participating in it. For children like Erhu and Calabash, it may be an opportunity.
Since there was no food to eat, a group of children went back to their homes to look for their mothers.
Now that I have decided to close the business, I simply arrange the tables and chairs in order, mop the floor clean, and take out the broom to sweep away the cobwebs and dust on the roof.
After all, this is the hard work of my father and grandfather for many years. Even if it is no longer open, it is still Lin Chou's home, and it is very affectionate.
"Cough cough cough!" A face appeared at the door and was instantly submerged in dust and cobwebs. "Lin! Sad!!! You don't want to live anymore???"
The old lady's old face was wrinkled into folds, and her eyebrows were raised and she screamed, "Okay, you didn't open for two days in a row! I came to your shabby shop, are you trying to drive me away?! You know Don’t you know that the Dawn Project is the most important project of the Development Committee? These children are the hope of the new era! You are lawless! Who will be responsible for the starving children?! You...are helping the evil! You, you are murdering!!"
Old witch, isn't this what you want when you look for the stars and the moon?
Lin Chou had always admired the naughty aunt's ability to choose words and form sentences. The aunt, whose face was covered with sweat and dusty cobwebs, walked into the house by herself.
He panted and rolled his eyes, "Humph!"
After going back, he washed his face vigorously, picked up the towel on the shelf and wiped it with it. Lin Chou's new snow-white towel, which he was reluctant to use, was instantly coated with a layer of grease.
vomit...
"Lin Chou, do you know that my aunt almost broke her legs trying to get you the qualifications for New Dawn's designated canteen?"
Damn it, apart from a restaurant that raises rats and sells meat, there is no other restaurant in the entire Pythagorean Alley! I am a scorpion daddy, and I am poisonous!
"What on earth did you do yesterday? Do you know that the inspector came yesterday? Do you know that if you miss work for one day, you will be deducted 15% from the end-of-month settlement according to regulations?"
Damn it, it’s not like I got a kickback from you!
"You're lazy, greedy, and slippery, and you've got it all! If you do it again, the prosecutor will disqualify you!"
Your son has been thinking about my twenty-seven children in Majiao Alley next door for more than a day or two! By going back and forth like this, aren't you just hoping that I'll shut down and quit?
"Twenty percent fine!" Auntie Zi finally concluded, her little eyes twinkling slightly.
"I'm done with it!"
"Don't treat others as fools. The Development Committee stipulates that New Dawn Project implementation units can take no more than five days of vacation per quarter!"
"Don't think I don't know. My twenty-seven children have the highest proportion of boys in the entire Mingguang Base City. There are 9 boys among the twenty-seven children. The Development Committee allocates 4 circulation points for each child. How do I get there? I only have 2 points left in my hand?"
"Wu Laosan has been thinking about my subsidy for a long time. This time I won't play. Let's see if he can win these twenty-seven children!"
The auntie was caught off guard by the scolding, and it took her a long time to explode into an astonishing aura.
"Lin! Chou!! You ungrateful thing! If it weren't for me, Wu Zixia! Do you know that you would have closed down a long time ago?! The committee rules? You know nothing about the rules! How dare you embarrass me! ??You’ve had enough of staying in Pythagorean Alley, haven’t you!”
Even Lin Chou's father and Lin Chou were harmed by this naughty aunt for twenty-seven years. Lin Chou's blood surged and his fists clenched loudly.
"Hey, why do you still want to fight with me?" Aunt Zizi looked at Lin Chou with contempt, "I'm telling you, I won't do this! Can you try to touch me with a finger? I'm here I have been working in the three alleys of Pythagorean, Horse Foot, and Echo for 45 years! What kind of Qiu Ba Yang doesn’t know about me, Wu Zixia?"
With that momentum and look, if she had a basket of peaches in her hand, Aunt Zhizi would have thought that she was one of the Seven Fairies under the Queen Mother's throne.
Lin Chou's face was dark. At this moment, a camouflage off-road vehicle screeched to a stop at the door, and a woman slowly got out of the car.
The gorgeous bright red floor-length dress not only does not look kitsch when worn on her body, but instead has a warm and unrestrained beauty. Every step and every line, she is as graceful and attractive as a swaying rose.
The woman has a fair complexion, a high nose bridge, thick lips, and a pair of sparkling eyes, like deep springs full of stories.
Lin Chou had only seen eyes like this on one person.
You can't mess with such a woman! !
When Aunt Zhizi saw it, she instantly softened and said with a low eyebrow, "Director Mo, why are you here in person? I promise to handle this small matter properly!"
The visitor smiled lightly, "Who are you? Haha..."
Aunt Zhizi looked embarrassed, "I...I am Xiao Wu, the resident director of Ma Jiao and Pythagorean Alley. Hello, Mo Chu."
"Huh? Is this Lin Chou?"
Aunt Zhizi glanced at her thickly, her eyes almost popped out of her head, and she screamed, "Lin Chou! This is happening, Director Mo! Why don't you salute quickly?!"
"Shut up!" Mo Hongniang scolded her coldly. Aunt Mozi trembled and stopped talking.
"Director Mo, hello!" Lin Chou said neither humble nor overbearing.
"My name is Mo Hongniang, hehe, little brother, we will deal with each other often in the future!"
Lin Chou broke into a cold sweat. Why does this woman like to call others "little brother"? It's embarrassing, isn't it?
…
An hour ago, in the Mingguang Base City Development and Survival Committee, in a bright hall marked as the Comprehensive Office for Awakening of New Talents and Mutants, a group of women started to quarrel.
"I'll go! Madam Jiang, please stop robbing me of my business. The last one, the last one, which one is not yours?"
Another woman with delicate features sneered and pointed with her hand, "Hey, Sister Huang, it's my turn this time, right? This handsome guy is still from my family! Maybe three generations up, we are still relatives. !”
"Lin Furong, shut up! When the last mutant was assigned to you, you refused to go. When you saw the awakened one, your heart fluttered with love? You're thirty-five and you haven't found a man to marry, so you still want to find a golden son-in-law? No? Daydreaming!" Sister Huang retorted with merciless sarcasm.
"you!!"
"I go!"
"I go!"
"I…"
"Shut up!" A clear and sharp shout was heard, and the ceiling above his head was buzzing.
Everyone looked at the big round desk with the sign "Mo Hong Niang, Director" and felt chills.
"I'll go in person." Mo Hongniang smiled charmingly, and the flowers and trees blooming behind her looked dim.
A group of white-faced women were fighting anxiously. You looked at me and I looked at you, feeling extremely sad.
"Hey, Mo Chu will go there in person. We won't have anything to do."
"It's time to go play cards."
Lin Furong took out a piece of information from her exquisite leather handbag, "This is your niece Jiaojiao's resume. Sister Mo, we are all our own people, and the wealth will not go to outsiders!"
Sister Huang exclaimed, "My niece's resume and photo album are here too. Sister Mo, take them with you too!"
Empress Jiang raised her legs, kicked off her high heels, and ran out the door, "Mo Chu, wait for me. I'll go home and bring my daughter!"
"And me and me!"
