Chapter 788 Unlock new neighbors (please give me monthly tickets)
I ate thirty dumplings in this meal, and after eating, I drank half a bowl of dumpling soup.
Now he has developed the habit of drinking noodle soup after eating noodles.
In this way, for the next period of time, Chen Nian was busy working every day, dealing with each other all day, and his life did not change much. Until one day, another family moved to Lingma County.
When he came, the other party happened to meet a neighbor next to Gao Genzhu's house and wanted to sell his house and go to Beijing to develop.
So I bought it here directly for convenience.
There are only two new neighbors, one is a man in his early forties, and the other looks about in his twenties.
Chen Nian saw that the two of them should be a father-son relationship.
However, when they arrived at a new place and lived in a permanent residence, they naturally had to visit their neighbors. The day after the other party moved in, they went out to buy some things and met the neighbors around them.
After seeing all the other people, they came to the noodle shop.
They stood at the door of the noodle restaurant with a small bag of rice, looked inside, and saw Chen Nian cutting vegetables inside, and asked, "Brother, are your lords here?"
The other party came here for the first time and didn't know Chen Nian. He just heard from other neighbors that this shop opened a noodle shop. After seeing Chen Nian, he thought Chen Nian was the child of this shop.
"Here." Chen Nian didn't care about these titles. After responding, he turned to look at the other side: "Brother Genzhu, someone is looking for you."
Then Gao Geun-joo patted the face on his hands and walked out: "You are looking for me?"
The man smiled when he saw Gao Geun-joo: "I just moved here, and we will be neighbors from now on, so we came to visit and get to know each other."
As he said that, he handed over the small bag of rice in his hand.
"No, no, no," Gao Genzhu quickly refused, "Don't we just met you? You just moved in and had a lot of things to pack. You can just keep these for food."
"It's okay, there are many opportunities for everyone to deal with in the future. Brother, please take it."
"Oh, okay, then thank you. Our family will open a noodle restaurant here. Just say anything you need help in the future. Did you just move here?"
"Well, I just came here yesterday to clean up my things, and this morning I thought about coming out to meet my neighbors."
"That's pretty good. Your yard is pretty good. The one I lived in before also likes to be clean and not waste things."
"Yes, after we moved in, there was basically nothing to move. Just add a little furniture." The man agreed, "By the way, I forgot to say it, my name is Mengping, and the next one is my son-in-law named Li Yan.
Now we are the only ones in our family.”
"Son-in-law?" Gao Geun-jue thought for a while, "What about your wife and daughter?"
Meng Ping sighed as he heard this: "They died of illness last year. Now we are the only one left in the family. But my son-in-law is very good, and his father and mother are gone. Now
I lived with me, and I always regarded him as my own son."
"That's a pity." Gao Genzhu also sighed, "But it's said that a son-in-law is half a son. If he gets along well, his son-in-law may be even more close than his son... My name is Gao Genzhu, and the one over there is my wife's name is.
Zhang Chuanfang, I have a son.”
Speaking of this, Meng Ping couldn't help looking at Chen Nian.
"No, he came to us later. He was my son's savior, named Chen Nian. Now he opens a noodle restaurant with us, but we are no different from the family now." Gao Geun-joo explained, "My son
I am still studying in a private school and I will come back later.”
"Oh, so that's how it is." Meng Ping realized that he had misunderstood.
"Okay, anyway, let's have more contact in the future. I am a carpenter and plan to open a carpenter shop here. If you want to repair a cabinet or nail a table or a stool, come to me, it's not a good deal."
"No problem." Gao Geun-jue smiled, "But you just moved here, so you probably didn't prepare everything. Come here to have a bowl of noodles at noon."
"this……"
"Don't let this or that. Just come here to eat. If it's really not possible, I'll ask Chen Nian to send it to you. We live so close, you're welcome."
"Okay, then thank you brothers. Let's go back and clean up first, and we won't bother you to work."
"Go, you can come and sit there often when you have time."
In this way, they exchanged greetings for a while and then left again.
Chen Nian looked at the two people. Originally, they belonged to two families, but since there was only one person left in their respective families, they lived together.
However, it is also a support for the two of them to be together.
But Chen Nian felt that Meng Ping, who is a carpenter, should be good in craftsmanship. He made a lot of money before, otherwise how could he buy the next yard in full?
Although they are just a county, the business is quite developed. In addition, they are located on a key road, and there are many foreign merchants coming and going all day long, so it makes this place very lively.
If you want to buy the yard next to you, you have to spend dozens of taels of silver.
I had agreed to let them come here to eat noodles, but just when the business was about to start, Gao Gengzhu suddenly saw a caravan walking towards him not far away, and the other party was also an acquaintance.
I come here to eat when I pass by.
"I'd better make two bowls for them first, otherwise I might not care about it when I get busy." Gao Genzhu said and began to prepare two bowls of cut noodles.
Sure enough, the caravan arrived and stopped directly near the Noodle House. Then the people above washed the horses and packed the goods. One of the people who looked like a steward came over and ordered thirty-five bowls of noodles.
However, at this time, Gao Genzhu also prepared the two bowls of noodles, took them out, put them in the bowl and handed them to Zhang Chuanfang to put the toppings, and then began to prepare for this big order business.
After Zhang Chuanfang poured the toppings, he planned to take the bowl to the next door to deliver it, but Chen Nian saw this and quickly took it over and said, "Let me go, sister-in-law, please help me here first."
"It's OK."
Zhang Chuanfang did not refuse, so he handed the bowl to Chennian. After Chennian took the bowl, he came to the next door.
The door here was not closed, so Chen Nian walked in directly.
"Shopkeeper Meng, I'm here to deliver noodles to you."
When Chen Nian came in, Meng Ping and Li Yan were sawing wood. After all, their family was just carpenter work, so there was no need to find someone to do these tasks.
They also brought the tools they had when they came. They were planning to make a few more tables as workbenches for future work.
"Oh, little brother, why are you doing this trip? We'll just go and have a meal at that time. Thank you for your hard work."
Meng Ping was very polite. Although it was already winter months, whether it was Meng Ping or Li Yan, they were just wearing a single dress, and even their sleeves were rolled up to reveal their thick arms with distinct lines.
"It's okay. A caravan came to eat noodles just now. Brother Genzhu was afraid that they would want more, so he made two bowls for you in advance and asked me to bring them over."
Li Yan also smiled and walked over: "Thank you so much, how much does it cost?"
"No need to give money, it's all about whether it's money or not, just eat it." Chen Nian said generously after handing the bowl to the other party.
Of course, this is also what Gao Genzhu means.
"Oh, that's not OK." Meng Ping said at this time, then touched his body, took out a few copper plates and pulled Chen Nian's hands without saying a word, and put the copper coins on Chen Nian's hands.
inside.
Chen Nian found that the people here were really polite and the folk customs were quite simple. Although he knew that Shanxi people loved money, they would not be greedy for some small gains at this time.
Sometimes I would rather give more than accept other people's kindness in vain.
Chen Nian originally wanted to refuse, but he found that the other party was surprisingly strong. Even if he was strong, he was not the other party's opponent at this moment. He wanted to pay back the money several times, but Meng Ping grabbed his arm and wanted to
It is impossible to push it any further.
This is the first time Chen Nian has taken the advantage of being kind.
In the end, I had to take the money helplessly.
After noon, Li Yan brought the noodle bowl and apologized again. At this time, they were basically ready to close the stall.
"Where did you come from?"
"We came from Linfen. We originally planned to go there to find one of his relatives, but we only found out that they had moved there.
We also looked at the yards in Taiyuan City, so we came here because my mother-in-law is from Lingma County. They lived here for a while before, but later they returned to Linfen.
Develop there.
So I ran here to buy a yard and prepared to live there for a long time."
Gao Genzhu nodded: "I'll say that you have Shanxi accents, but you definitely don't belong to us."
"Yes, the accents on both sides are still a little different, but my father-in-law and I can understand what you are saying."
"Then you must be sure, your mother-in-law is the person here, and you must be saying this, but why do you move away?"
"Oh, it's not easy to have a family. A few years ago, my father-in-law offended a thug. The man came to make trouble every few days, making our business difficult.
In addition, my wife and my mother-in-law were gone, so we thought about finding a place to work."
"That's quite troublesome. Some rogues get involved and it's like sticking to them. He's shameless, we have to be shameless."
"yes."
"But that little brother of your family is not from you? He also looks like he is from another place when I hear the accent."
"Well, he is from Sichuan. He came here to be a friend from the beginning. The old man is very clever, works very quickly, and he has also studied and has some skills. When he first came, my son and
Several children nearby played together, but were cheated away by a murderer and kidnapped.
