Not only is Wang Tao satisfied, but the workers at the construction site are also full of praise for him. He can earn 400 yuan and no one will say anything. If he can get a certificate and work, his all-round skills can earn at least twice as much.
He wanted to go to the night market to help the Liu Qiang brothers and sisters cook, but after seeing more than ten missed calls and text messages from Lin Yixue (the name Lin Fei temporarily gave to the beautiful pregnant woman) on his phone, he decided to go home.
.
The text message said:
Uncle, why don't you answer the phone? When will you get off work?
Uncle, come back quickly, there seems to be a rat's noise.
Someone knocked on the door, I was so scared.
They haven't left yet.
The landlord seems to have kicked them away. Uncle, please come back quickly.
…
During the day, I was working to climb high. I was afraid that my phone would fall, so I kept it in the wooden house. I didn’t expect that Lin Yixue would make so many calls. That’s all, I’d better go home quickly. If I don’t go back, Xiaonizi will go crazy.
However, I didn't forget to buy her some more fruits on the way. When I got home, she was still awake. She was lying on the bed under the dark lamp and covered with quilt, and she didn't feel too hot.
"Uncle, you're finally back." Her tight pretty face relaxed, "Why don't you answer the phone?" She pouted, "You said I'd call you if anything happened? I've called you so many times.
No one answered, really!”
"I worked overtime at night to get a better job, so I left my phone in the cabin. I didn't expect to work until ten o'clock. I'm really sorry." He quickly changed the topic, "Did anyone really knock on the door at night?"
"Yes, I was so frightened that I hurriedly hid on the bed. Fortunately, I turned off the light, otherwise they must have thought that someone had forced their way into the house. However, they did not give up and refused to leave. Later, it seemed that the landlord drove them away.
Already."
It turned out that she was not just thinking wildly. Lin Fei immediately walked out of the door, saw that the light in the tenant's room was still on, and knocked on the door.
"Who?"
"I, Lin Fei."
The charterer opened the door and looked around, "Come in and talk."
After walking into the room, the tenant closed the door and asked, "Are you asking me about who came to your house?"
"It seems true? Who is it? Do you know him?"
Sun Hong, the charter woman, shook her head, "At around eight o'clock in the evening, five or six people suddenly came. At first glance, they were not ordinary people. They were all wearing sunglasses and suits and looked like dogs. They just kept knocking on the door, and I quickly came out to ask them.
They didn't say who they were looking for. I said there was an old tenant in this house and he went out to work in the evening, so they left with doubts." Sun Hong looked at Lin Fei suspiciously, "Did you come to Shanshui Town before?
Have you ever provoked any powerful enemies?"
Lin Fei's brain searched for the memories from half a year ago. It really happened, and it had a lot to do with moving to this small town. At the same time, he secretly cursed why some memories of his predecessor were like squeezing out toothpaste, coming out when he used it.
That's a little bit.
My mother had just passed away half a year ago, and I was in a very low mood. I passed by a private club after drinking too much, and saw a young man driving a luxury car punching and kicking a man on the side of the road. He had never done any heroic feats before.
Under the stimulation of alcohol, he transformed into a brave knight and beat up the young man who was driving a luxury car. As for the extent of the beating, he forgot. Anyway, when he sobered up the next day, he inquired and found out that he had caused a big trouble. Yesterday
The man who was beaten was a very powerful second-generation rich man in the local area. He was so frightened at that time that he was afraid that the second-generation rich man would come to his door, so he immediately left the rented house and ran to this small town without even paying the rent.
Did he go too far that night and beat him into a eunuch? If that was the case, with the power of that rich second generation, he might actually be able to find this place.
"I provoked someone, but it's been more than half a year..."
Sun Hong curled her lips, "Is there still a time limit for revenge?! It's not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, not to mention you don't know if you are offending a gentleman or a bad guy? But I didn't know until they left that they went to Tongzi Tower.
There are several households where there are new renters this month, so maybe they are not looking for you, but probably looking for her..."
Lin Fei's expression froze, this was very possible.
"How do those people know the situation of the residents in Tongzi Building?"
Sun Hong snorted coldly: "It must be those boring and foul-mouthed bitches in Tongzilou who are inquiring. They like to hide aside and watch other people's bustle and discuss people's rights and wrongs, so as not to cause chaos."
"Does that mean they are looking around like headless flies and haven't determined where the person is?"
"It should be like this. You are a person who has experienced things. You should know what to do. I told you everything last night."
Lin Fei nodded and said: "Actually, it's best for us all to leave here. However, I still owe you rent, and I still have many people in this town who haven't paid back their money. It's not okay to just leave like this, so I think this
I need to earn more money in a few days to pay off the debt." The Lin Fei of the past is dead, but now the king of soldiers Lin Fei is not afraid of anything. It is not his style to run away if he owes money. It is not his style to run away when something happens.
"What about her?"
"Since they have already been here, I believe they will not come again for the time being, but it is better to be careful. From tomorrow on, when I am not at home, can you let her stay with you, and it is best not to go out."
Sun Hong sighed, "Okay, sister, I will help you to the end."
"I will give you money every day, including your care expenses and her meal expenses." He took out fifty yuan and gave it to her, "This is her meal expenses today. From tomorrow, I will give you one hundred yuan, three meals a day.
Includes overnight accommodation.”
Sun Hong wondered: "You mean you might not come back to stay at night?"
"I want to find a part-time job, cooking for people at the night market. I might come back very late. If so, let her sleep with you."
Sun Hong was surprised. This Lin Fei is so different from before in terms of both person and work. "Is the you I saw before an illusion? Or is the you I see now an illusion? Why is there such a big difference?!"
Lin Fei smiled to himself, of course there was a big difference, and said: "People will always change, and I don't want to live the same way I did before."
The charterer smiled and said: "Some people say that a man may not mature in his whole life, but he may mature overnight. I believe this now."
————————————
The period after that was uneventful.
Sure enough, as Lin Fei said, those people have never been here again in the past few days. Maybe they are just searching aimlessly, or maybe they are not looking for Lin Fei or Lin Yixue at all.
These days, Lin Fei goes to the night market to cook for the Liu Qiang brothers and sisters after work in the evening. His cooking skills have won the praise of many diners. The stalls are full every day, and the Liu Qiang brothers and sisters are smiling. Of course, Lin Fei is given a lot of wages every day.
No less than 200 yuan per night.
Lin Fei never made another dish like coconut chicken. Even if someone found out about it and asked him to cook it, he didn't agree.
Coconut chicken, a somewhat high-end dish, should not appear in night market food stalls in the city. The gentle and fragrant taste is more suitable for restaurants and home banquets, while the food at food stalls should be straightforward, a handful of mutton skewers, a plate of field snails,
A beer is the taste of the city.
Usually he doesn't close the stall until about three in the morning. When he gets home, he lies down on the sofa and goes straight to sleep. He still insists on exercising in the morning. The old man in the park will wait for him to practice boxing every day. Later, he even invited a few old men and old ladies to join him.
Join the ranks of boxing practitioners.
After exercising that day, Lin Fei returned to Tongzi Tower and unexpectedly found Lin Yixue in the room.
"Xiaoxue, you got up so early today? Why don't you sleep a little longer at Sister Sun's place?" Lin Fei had habitually called this name. The beautiful pregnant woman was also helpless. Who told herself not to say her own name?
"Humph, I haven't seen you for several days." Lin Yixue pouted and said.
"I can't help it, I'm busy."
"Now that everything is calm, starting from today, I will go to the street stall to find you in the evening, then go home together, and go exercise with you in the morning!"
Lin Fei frowned and said, "That won't work. I don't get off work until about three in the morning. You can't follow me. You have to rest. It's good for you and the baby in your belly." Lin Fei looked at her belly and thought to himself that it was already.
It’s becoming more and more obvious, what should I do? Why haven’t I contacted him yet?
"Then it's okay for me to go exercise with you in the morning. I can't stay bored in the room all day. I need to do some proper exercise."
"That's okay." Lin Fei nodded and said, "Starting tomorrow, you will get up at 5:30, can you do that?"
"Yes!" Lin Yixue pouted and said firmly.
Lin Fei thought it was strange. Xiaoxue had never seen her get up early when she came here. She might not have adapted to the environment and got up early when she first came here. Now I heard from the charterer that she usually sleeps until after nine o'clock in the morning.
Maybe it's because of my pregnancy that I feel sleepy.
At night, after Lin Fei finished working at the construction site, he continued to Liu's Food Stall.
"Uncle Fatty, you're here!" Liu Yu has completely lost his hostility towards Lin Fei, because Lin Fei has made the brother and sister a lot of money, and after getting in touch with him these days, he found that Lin Fei is not as annoying as the legend says.
.
"Eat watermelon first to quench your thirst." Liu Yu handed him a corner of watermelon.
"Thank you." Lin Fei ate the watermelon and said hello to many diners with a smile. Many of them were regular customers in the past few days, except for a very strange person sitting in the far left corner with only one plate on the table.
Peanuts and a bottle of white wine.
He was still wearing a hat in the summer. He was very thin, with a dark face and slender eyes. He just stared at the plate of peanuts on the table. He ate very slowly and drank very slowly, one peanut and one sip of wine.
After stopping for about half a minute, he took another sip of peanuts and a sip of wine. Although it was very slow, it was very rhythmic because he had no unnecessary movements.
The man in black turned his head and glanced at Lin Fei thoughtfully, then continued his methodical drinking rhythm.
"I've been sitting here since eight o'clock." Liu Yu next to him said in a low voice, "What a strange person."
"There are many strange people in this world." Lin Fei smiled and said, "Work!"
