After getting rid of Li Yingtong, Xu Erlong breathed a sigh of relief.
How can a person who doesn't even own a watch deserve to be a master of time management?
Thinking of this, Xu Erlong felt that he really wanted to buy himself a watch.
I've been shopping a lot these days, but I didn't buy this thing.
These days, watches, bicycles, sewing machines and radios are all classified into three turns and one beep.
As a representative of a wealthy family, you must have these things.
Of course, these three turns and one beep also have priorities.
The first thing that men look forward to is a bicycle. Having a bicycle makes traveling more convenient.
What women want most is a sewing machine. The whole family can rely on it to sew and mend, which can save a lot of time.
As for watches, the demand is a little behind.
Xu Erlong only thought of having a watch when he wanted to know the time.
He turned to the department store and took a look.
On display at the counter are Shanghai, Plum Blossom, Seagull, Rose and other brands, with prices ranging from eighty yuan to about two hundred yuan.
And, tickets are required.
Xu Erlong doesn't have the ticket for the time being, and he can't buy it even if he has money.
It seems that we can only wait a little longer.
When Xu Erlong came out of the department store, he felt someone following him within a few steps.
The corners of his eyes sank slightly, and he kept his pace and walked slowly to an alley.
When the people behind him followed, Xu Erlong swept the enemy's body with his sweeping kick and knocked him down.
"Tell me, why are you following me?" Xu Erlong stepped on his back.
"Brother, please spare my life, I have no other intention." The other party repeatedly begged for mercy.
"Then why are you following me?" Xu Erlong asked.
"I just want to ask if you want a watch." The other party replied: "I have no other intention."
"Do you have a watch?" Xu Erlong asked, retracting his feet.
The other party got up from the ground, patted the dust on his hands, looked around with stern eyebrows, and then asked in a low voice: "Which one do you want?"
Xu Erlong felt something was wrong when he heard this kind of questioning.
Maybe these watches came from something wrong.
After all, pickpockets are rampant these days, and it’s common to steal watches and the like and sell them.
Xu Erlong suddenly had no intention of asking for it.
Although he also buys things on the black market, at least those things come from a legitimate source, and they just want to sell them on the black market for two extra bucks.
But now, this watch is obviously stolen goods, and he will not accept such a hot potato.
"No, I don't need it." Xu Erlong turned and walked away.
Xu Erlong walked forward with some vigilance. After making sure that no one was following him, he turned around and went to Dongfanghong Guest House.
At this moment, it was the round-faced eldest sister's turn to be on duty again.
She was sitting there, wearing a sweater.
Xu Erlong greeted her with a smile and handed over the letter of introduction: "Sister, this is my letter of introduction."
The round-faced elder sister took the letter of introduction, looked at it twice, and accepted it.
"Okay, here's the key." The round-faced lady wrote the invoice for him and handed him the key.
This time, the problem of settling in the city was completely solved.
"I will change all the sheets and quilts in the room with clean ones for you." The round-faced elder sister said as a gesture of goodwill.
This is obviously due to yesterday's packet of melon seeds.
Xu Erlong thanked her and went to look at the room. Sure enough, everything was well arranged and you could check in just by bringing your bags.
He decided to rent a guest house instead of renting a house because many things were available in the guest house and he didn't have to buy any more.
In a short period of time, renting is definitely more cost-effective than buying.
After seeing all this, Xu Erlong went home.
Xiaoling came back before him and told Zhang Jinfang that a beautiful girl was looking for Xu Erlong.
Zhang Jinfang felt happy and worried at the same time.
I am happy that a girl came to find my son.
The worry is again, what if someone dislikes me?
Seeing Xu Erlong come back, Zhang Jinfang asked hurriedly: "Erlong, I heard that a girl is looking for you? Which family is she from? How old is she?"
Xu Erlong gave Xiao Ling a funny look. It was probably Xiao Ling who came back to spread the word.
He explained to Zhang Jinfang: "Mom, it has nothing to do with this. We are just ordinary friends. Xiaoling can study in the children's school because of her family's connections. She just asked me how Xiaoling's enrollment was going.
"
"That's it." Zhang Jinfang was disappointed.
I thought my son had found someone again.
Xiaoling stood aside and didn't believe it.
She felt that the girl seemed to be interested in her second brother.
"Have you packed up?" Xu Erlong skipped this topic.
"It's almost done," Zhang Jinfang said.
Xu Erlong looked at the big and small bags over there and was quite speechless.
Why didn't he know that his family now has so many belongings?
He unpacked the bag and took out some unimportant things.
"I won't take these."
"No need for this either."
"Throw this away."
"Mom, this thing is big and heavy, and it's tiring to move. Besides, I can't afford the money, so I might as well give it away," Xu Erlong said.
"If you don't take these with you, you will have to spend money to buy them when the time comes." Zhang Jinfang insisted.
He started again and packed these bottles and jars into bags.
Xu Erlong had no choice but to let her do it.
Knowing that Xu Erlong and the others were moving to the city, Yu Ping was reluctant to leave even his missing teeth.
The most uncomfortable ones are the two brothers and sisters Huang Xiaogang.
I finally followed Xu Erlong and had a few good meals, but in the end, this good life came to an end so soon?
"Don't be like this. I live in the city just for the convenience of doing things. When I make arrangements in the past few days, straighten everything out, and find a way, I will call you." Xu Erlong said.
Huang Xiaogang was still feeling uneasy.
He and his sister are small and weak, and have no competitiveness at all.
If Xu Erlong doesn't call him in the future, where will the two brothers and sisters go to get food?
"Second brother, can you let me come with you? We don't want money, we don't want anything, just give us a bite to eat." Huang Xiaogang requested.
Xu Erlong said: "In the future, when I have new connections, I will call you. However, you don't have to rush to follow me now. You also have some money on hand, so you should send your sister to study first."
During this time, Huang Xiaogang also made a little money by catching eels, and he also made a little money by selling schoolbags.
You can live for a while with this money.
However, Huang Xiaogang and his sister, Huang Xiaogang, were young after all. They were afraid of the future and just wanted to hide behind Xu Erlong.
Xu Erlong made arrangements to leave.
"By the way, I'm moving to the county seat now. The money I owe Xiong Yawei has not yet been paid. If he comes, remember to notify him and ask him to come to the Dongfanghong Guest House in the county seat to find me." Xu Erlong said, motioning to Xiaoling to take a pen.
come over.
He wrote down his current residence and handed it to Yu Ping: "Keep it away. When Xiong Yawei comes, remember to give it to him."
After everything was arranged, several people helped carry the bag and push the cart to the Dongfanghong Guest House in the county seat.
