Salty, fresh, sour pickled fish, spinach with garlic paste... made several people who had eaten dry food for two days in a row smile with satisfaction.
After the five people at the next table had eaten and drank, they walked upstairs arm in arm.
Duan Hongjun sneered: "If you are so arrogant when you are away from home, you will suffer a big loss sooner or later."
"Eat, eat, eat, it doesn't matter what the person seeking death does." Liu Biao took the pig's trotters and started chewing them.
Before Li Xiangyang and the others finished eating, they saw Big Beard and another person going downstairs and leaving the guest house.
Li Bing glanced at the two of them and said in a low voice: "These two people are probably going to the small hotel in front of them where they are waving red scarves."
Liu Biao looked at him with a smile: "Xiao Bing, do you want to go too?"
"No, no, no..." Li Bing kept saying, shaking his head like a rattle: "I don't have enough energy as an old man. I still want to live for two more years."
Li Xiangyang glanced at him with a smile: "I think you are in good spirits!"
Li Bing stared at Li Xiangyang: "Xiangyang, will I take you to eat some meat?"
"Not interested!" Li Xiangyang picked up the coat placed on the wooden chair and walked towards the guest room upstairs.
"Let's go to bed first. You guys can sit down for a while and then go to the car." Duan Hongjun said and looked at Li Bing again. "If you don't believe in evil, you can try it tonight. I promise I won't care about you if something happens."
Li Bing waved his hands repeatedly: "Brother, don't worry, I won't give you any money."
Working for Uncle Da in a sports car, the salary is high and the requirements are strict. You are not allowed to drink on the road or go to small hotels to sleep with prostitutes. If you violate the rules, you will be kicked out immediately.
"I'll give you some money, you think so!" Liu Biao smiled and punched him, leaning back on the chair.
Li Xiangyang went upstairs to the bathroom and took a shower, then put on his slippers and returned to the guest room. Duan Hongjun lay on the bed and made a sound.
He closed the door, took a handkerchief, wiped the water off his head, collapsed on the bed, and fell asleep soon after.
Just after one o'clock in the morning, there was suddenly a loud knock on the door. Someone shouted outside: "Brother, open the door and help me!"
Li Xiangyang and Duan Hongjun sat up suddenly and listened. Li Xiangyang covered his head and continued to sleep.
Duan Hongjun quietly got out of bed and walked behind the door. He leaned against the crack in the door and looked out. He saw a few tall men standing in the corridor, and two people with bruises on their noses and swollen faces. They were the two bearded men.
people.
It seemed that the three people who were eating and drinking with them did not open the door for them, so they turned to knock on their door.
He shook his head, went back and lay on the bed, pulled the quilt over his head.
One person cried and said: "Brother, come out and help prove that we were passing by here and did not seduce anyone."
Duan Hongjun and Li Xiangyang pretended not to hear. After a while, Lao Lu's voice was heard, and the sound of the door opening was heard from the guest room opposite.
The two of them lay there with their eyes squinted for an hour before getting up and going to the parking lot downstairs.
Liu Biao glanced at the two of them and lay back with his clothes on: "We took a nap in the first half of the night and went back to sleep with you."
Li Bing yawned, looked at the two of them, and said with a complicated expression: "The two bearded men were beaten badly. Lao Lu helped negotiate an agreement, and each of them paid a thousand yuan before letting them go."
"Lao Lu said that the hotel in front was run by some second-rate guys. The two bearded men got caught in the trap and spent a thousand yuan to get beaten up. Fortunately, the car of the two melons was parked here.
Otherwise, they won’t even be able to carry the goods in the car and leave.”
Duan Hongjun rolled his eyes at him: "You saw it, Gui'er, do you still dare to mess around in the future?"
Li Bing took off his Lei Feng hat, scratched his head and said: "I have never been with you."
Liu Biao lazily raised his hand: "Old Duan, I can testify to this."
Liu Biao and Li Bing didn't want to go to the guest room upstairs to sleep, so Li Xiangyang and Duan Hongjun had to go back and lie down to sleep.
At dawn, the two of them got up, went downstairs to have breakfast, and bought some steamed buns and dry food. Lao Lu came with an oil paper bag.
"Old Duan, I cooked two pieces of bacon and some sausages for you to eat on the way."
Duan Hongjun took it readily: "Thank you, Brother Lu. You and your sister-in-law can go back to your hometown and find me in Dongshi."
Lao Lu smiled and said: "I'm afraid it won't happen in the next few years. I will definitely go there when I have time in the future."
Several people got on the car and Lao Lu took them to the door. They waved and the car drove out of the guest house.
Three days later in the afternoon, Li Xiangyang and his party arrived in the provincial capital, drove to Liu Da's yard in the provincial capital, and unloaded the motorcycle, color TV, and refrigerator.
The few people had a good night's rest in the provincial capital, and Li Xiangyang and Duan Hongjun drove back to Dongshi early the next morning.
In the afternoon, their car arrived at Dongshi. Due to the weather, they arrived home one day later than last time.
The two of them first went to Liu Da's house to unload a batch of goods. Li Xiangyang drove the car and they went to the department store.
Lao Li heard the sound of the horn, looked up and saw the truck parked on the road at the door, and ran out happily.
He took two steps so neatly that he didn't look like a chubby old man at all.
Li Xiangyang got out of the car and looked at Lao Li: "Dad, I'm back."
Lao Li looked at his son, who had lost a lot of weight, and kept saying, "It'll be good to come back, it'll be good to come back."
Duan Hongjun got out of the car and looked at Lao Li: "Uncle Li, you are getting younger and younger!"
Lao Li stretched out his hand like a cattail leaf fan and patted him on the back: "You kid, you're trying to get rid of me again."
Duan Hongjun chuckled and said: "Don't dare, you really are getting younger as you live."
Li Xiangyang opened the back compartment, and the two of them climbed into the car, unloaded the cartons, wooden boxes, and bags one by one, carried them to the room in the backyard next to Li Shuiqing's and his wife's bedroom.
The clothes were put down in the warehouse opposite, waiting for Lin Lan to come and take stock of the new items.
Li Xiangyang said to Duan Hongjun: "Sit here for a while, we will go to the restaurant below to have dinner before leaving."
Duan Hongjun shook his head repeatedly: "I have to go back to see my wife and children. Let's get together when we have time."
"Okay." Li Xiangyang and Lao Li sent him outside and waited for him to leave before returning to the store.
He Li smiled so much that she showed her white teeth: "Brother, you are finally back. If you don't come back, the customers who place orders will chew me up."
Li Xiangyang said with a smile: "Don't worry, the goods this time are guaranteed to be sufficient, and you will be guaranteed to sell until next year."
He Li looked at him with a smile: "We will ship the goods when Sister Lin comes." Then she whispered to Li Xiangyang, "Brother, how much do you think my base salary plus commission will be this month?"
They took stock a few days ago, and Sister Lin said that based on the current business, her monthly salary would be as much as half a year's salary of the salespersons in the department store opposite.
Sister Lin told her not to be too excited, saying that because the shop had just opened, the price would be reduced after the new year, and she would be happy even if it was reduced by half.
The old man at home asked her not to go out and tell others, so as not to arouse jealousy.
Li Xiangyang tapped her forehead with his finger: "Can I not know? You are not allowed to go out to show off, or you will go back and paste your matchbox."
He Li nodded repeatedly: "I know, my dad told me."
