When I think about this, I feel a little bit lost for no reason.
I really didn't even think about eating anymore. After paying, I slowly returned to my store.
Looking at the empty room, I felt really uncomfortable.
"Ch-------"
It seems that at this moment, Brother Chicken fluttered his wings and flew down from upstairs.
Anyway, there is finally a living creature in this room.
Until now, I haven't figured out what's going on with this chicken, but no matter what, it always understands whatever I say.
It seems like a good choice to have it stay here to keep me company.
But its size is getting bigger and bigger, which really makes me a little depressed.
If I hold it, sometimes I really feel that its weight is a bit too much for me.
After all, it is no longer what it was when it first arrived.
I didn’t even eat a few meals of the 50 kilograms of rice I bought. Basically, most of the bag of rice was eaten by it.
Watching the sky outside slowly getting brighter, I sighed, locked the doors and windows and walked up to the second floor.
I opened the cupboard and gave Brother Chicken some rice, and then some water. Then I went to the bathroom to wash up, and then lay down on the bed to get a good night's sleep.
When I opened my eyes again, it was already noon.
The recent days and nights have really made me a bit like a night owl.
Even though I always stay up late due to my physical condition, now I feel like my body is a little bit hollowed out.
After sitting on the bed in a daze for a while, I got up, washed briefly, and then called Hu Jinsong.
"Xiao Rui, what's the matter?"
As soon as the call was connected, Hu Jinsong's hearty laughter came from the other end.
"Brother Hu, do you have time? I want to treat you to a meal!"
I smiled and said.
"Yes, of course I have time. It's not like you don't know what I do every day. Anyway, this Nanzhi store doesn't have much business. If I want to open it, I can open it. If I don't want to, I can close it!"
While Hu Jinsong was talking, he himself laughed out loud.
Although he was obviously smiling, I knew in my heart that he must have been under a lot of psychological pressure recently.
After all, no one understands the feeling of being chased by death better than me.
"Where are you now? Are you in the store?"
"That's right, I just arrived at the store, and a few regular customers came over to pick up something. Do you want to come over? Or should I go pick you up?"
"I'd better go over and find you. I happen to have something else I want to ask you!"
After hearing what he said, I hurriedly said.
"Okay, then I'll wait for you in the store. Just call me when you come!"
After Hu Jinsong finished speaking, he hung up the phone directly.
I simply changed my clothes, packed up and got ready to go out.
But as soon as I opened the door, I saw Wang Dayong's honest smiling face.
"Brother Wang, are you waiting for me?"
I looked at him with some confusion.
"Mr. Zhong, thank you so much for what happened last night! I know you are a capable person. This is a little thought from my brother and I. Please accept it!"
While Wang Dayong was talking, he tugged at his younger brother who was standing next to him, and handed over a thick envelope.
I was stunned. I didn't expect that he could do things so well.
But it makes sense to think about it, he had witnessed most of what happened last night.
"Let's see, we are all neighbors. If we don't charge money, it really doesn't comply with the rules. I will accept this, and you can take the rest back to treat the elderly!"
I hesitated for a moment, then took out a hundred-dollar bill from the envelope he handed over, and then handed the rest back.
To be honest, the cash in this envelope is actually not much. Added together, it is about a few thousand dollars.
For me now, these thousands of dollars are indeed nothing, but for them, I believe it is still very useful.
"No, no, no, you must accept this, otherwise I'm afraid others will poke my spine!"
While Wang Dayong was talking, he pushed the envelope in his hand hard into my hand.
"Well, we are all neighbors. I have other things to go out for. You can take the money back to treat the elderly man. I can't help with other things. What happened last night was just a coincidence.
It’s just an encounter, you don’t need to take it to heart!”
I patted his shoulder, then turned around and locked the rolling shutter door and prepared to leave.
"Um, that Mr. Zhong..."
"Is there anything else?"
Seeing him hesitating, I couldn't help but ask again.
"Indeed, there is indeed a little something..."
Wang Dayong looked at me sheepishly while talking.
"If you have anything to do, just say it. We are all neighbors anyway. If I can help, I will definitely help!"
I have a good impression of him. After all, no matter how bad a filial person is, he can't be that bad.
"I, I want to invite you to come to my house and have a look, but we can't afford that much money..."
Wang Dayong looked at me carefully while talking.
I was stunned for a moment, but then I understood. It seemed that he had inquired about my situation very carefully.
"Okay, I have something else to do these days. Let's go to next Friday. You can come here to see me next Friday morning. As for money, when I charge, I usually charge based on the matter! If you have any questions,
Let’s talk about it after seeing it!”
"Thank you, thank you!"
As Wang Dayong spoke, tears began to flow down his face.
I hate seeing people shed tears the most, especially men.
"Then I have something else to do, so I'll leave first!"
In life, everyone has his own difficulties.
I stepped forward and patted his shoulder, then turned and left.
I took a taxi all the way to Antique Street. Hu Jinsong's store seemed to be doing really good business today. When I walked into the store, there were actually seven or eight people sitting inside.
"Xiao Rui, you're here, please wait for me first!"
Hu Jinsong smiled and then said hello to me.
"It's okay, don't be in a hurry, you go about your business first, don't worry about me, I just happened to be walking outside for a while, just call me when you're done!"
"Okay, then don't go too far!"
Hu Jinsong also smiled at me, and then went to greet his guests.
I have visited this antique street several times, but it seems to be particularly lively today.
Anyway, he should be busy there for a while, so I simply started to look at the little things on the street.
