Chapter 94 Light

The sender is not Bai Zhi.

But it was Xu Dangwu who had sent text messages several times after leaving the night market.

Chen most likes the friendship with Xu Dangwu. How should I put it? To use a term, it is a friendship that requires no response.

There is no need to deliberately meet each other, and there is no need to deliberately contact each other from time to time. This will not affect the relationship between the two people. It is normal to send a message when you think of it and chat about the person disappearing. Then, magically, you can still be there after a few days.

Let's talk...

The most important thing is that there will be no awkwardness or worries for each other.

The content of the text message Xu Dangwu sent today is: 'Will you come to the high school class reunion on the 3rd?'

Chen’s last reply was ‘Let me see’.

Then there is no more content.

Chen Zui's cell phone finally returned to quiet, but he wanted to listen to the lecture well, but fell asleep under the attack of the old professor's white noise waves.

Fortunately, there was no roll call this time, otherwise I would have had to stand up and pretend.

This will make Zhao Xiaokai's resentment deepen, and he will seriously doubt whether he waited for him to fall asleep and secretly read under the covers.

After attending all the classes in the morning, Chen most chose to skip classes in the afternoon and give himself an early day off.

I went to the warehouse and threw two hundred yuan as a bonus to Xiao Shen. I also told him to eat something good during the festival. If he was hungry at night, he could use the instant noodles from the warehouse.

Xiao Shen replied: "No, brother, you can't touch anything in the warehouse. I have principles!"

Seeing his righteous words, Chen Zui suddenly wanted to take him to a KTV and ask the two princesses to dance around him, whether it was to scare or seduce him, to see if he was really so principled...

After leaving the warehouse, we went to a hot pot restaurant again.

After discussing the National Day plan with Wang Keke, Chen Zhi decisively held a meeting for everyone during this time when there were still few customers.

"No. 1-3, three salaries, No. 4-7, double salary."

The employees cheered when they heard this. In fact, this seems to be a normal thing in 2022, but it was rare in 2008, especially in self-employed businesses. Most bosses only chose to give a small bonus, and some even didn’t even have a bonus.

Give.

The most direct incentive for employees is money.

These experienced waiters have seen too many bosses who don't talk about money but talk about relationships every day.

Chen Zui's generosity not only boosted morale, but also made the pie he had previously sketched look more real and credible.

Therefore, the energy of all the staff in the hot pot restaurant has reached its peak.

But when Wang Keke saw how happy everyone was, he found a vacant space at the bar and asked Chen Zui alone: ​​"So, when will we be able to see our new store? Are you sure?"

Chen Zui didn't pay attention to her immediately. He looked at the data on his left and the accounts on his right, and the sound of singing came into his ears.

There is background music playing on the speakers in the store...

The days without you.

I will cherish myself more.

In the years without me.

You have to take care of yourself.

So he looked back at Wang Keke, who had been waiting for half a minute, and gave the time of the new store: "About winter."

But Wang Keke said: "Is there one from "Wolf of the North"?"

"In "YeYeYeYe"..."

""Dont let Tears be my company through dark night"?"

“It thinks of ‘The One I Was’.”

"Harm, let "The Past Follow the Wind"..."

Chen Zui slapped his forehead: "Are you sick? Who asked you to pick up the song title..."

Wang Keke blinked his big eyes: "Didn't you start it first? Besides, you have been picking up..."

【Quite nonsensical..】

【Coco is one after another...】

[No wonder Xiaokai said he likes her, I like her too...]

[This ancient game is all memories...]



After leaving the hot pot restaurant, with the money in his pocket, Chen most chose to take the bus home.

Sitting in the bumpy car, I was able to relax and look at the surrounding scenery, chatting quietly with the commentators.

Occasionally, the comments posted on the barrage would make him laugh uncontrollably.

So much so that some passengers, seeing him babbling and laughing to themselves, felt that this kid was young and good-looking, but he was actually a fool...

It was about an hour's drive back home.

I bought two boxes of drinks and one box of milk directly from the supermarket downstairs. When I went upstairs, I met Uncle Sun's wife coming downstairs with a sad look on her face. Chen Zui called out: "Aunt Zhang, what are you doing?"

"Go buy some eggs for your Uncle Sun, ugh."

With that said, Aunt Zhang was about to bypass Chen Zui and go downstairs.

Chen Zui asked again: "What's wrong with my uncle Sun?"

Mentioning this, Aunt Zhang's wrinkles suddenly seemed to be deeper: "I fell down from my goods two days ago and injured my waist."

Chen Zui: "Is it heavy?"

Aunt Zhang sighed: "I probably won't be able to do heavy work in the future."

As soon as Chen Zui heard this, he understood why Aunt Zhang was so worried. Life at the bottom of society was not easy. Uncle Sun was a heavy baggage man who relied on his strength to support his family. It would be fine if his waist was slightly injured, but he would not be able to work in the future.

If you start working again, then... your financial source will be cut off.

In addition, I have no diploma and have been doing this job for so many years. Even if I wait and want to go out and find a job that can earn as much as carrying a big bag, it is too difficult.

"Auntie, don't buy eggs yet. Open the door for me. These are all for your family."

With that said, Chen Zuiduan ordered two boxes of drinks and one box of milk.

Aunt Zhang didn't know that her husband had helped Chen Zui so enthusiastically. She was confused: "This is..."

Chen Zizhi smiled and showed his white teeth: "You don't know, Uncle Sun introduced me to a job before."

"ah?"

Chen Zui: "Let's go, let's go see Uncle Sun."

Aunt Zhang also smiled when she heard Chen Zui's words. The gloom on her face was less, but her words were still pessimistic: "Old Sun, I have helped a lot of people over the years, but my back has been injured for two days. I didn't expect you to be the first."

I came here to see it.”

"Didn't the workers come?"

"No matter who comes, they are afraid that I will borrow money from them."

"Aunt Zhang, are you short of money?"

"It's enough, it's enough, that's what I'm saying."

In the corridor, after a few words, the two of them came to an old-fashioned wooden door.

Push the wooden door open first, and after entering, there are two households, and Uncle Sun's home is at the end.

Aunt Zhang opened the door with the key, put on a smile, and her tone was no longer the same as before. She greeted happily: "Old Sun, Xiao Chen upstairs is here to see you."

The house was very small. When you entered the door, you saw the kitchen. When you looked inside, you saw the bed and TV. There were several pots of flowers placed at the window. There was not much place to stay. Chen Zui looked at Uncle Sun lying on the bed and shouted: "Uncle Sun."

."

As he said that, he put the things in his hands at the door, then took off his shoes and walked in directly.

"Is your kid on vacation?"

Uncle Sun was so happy when he saw Chen Zui that he tried to straighten his body up, but before he could get halfway up, he said with a struggling expression, "Hey, it's my waist." It hurt so much that he lay down again.

"Don't show off, I'm not an outsider."

Chen Zizhen didn't regard himself as an outsider. After entering, he sat down directly on the bed.

Uncle Sun's face turned a little pale and he coughed again: "How about it, is college good?"

Chen Zui smiled: "Okay, there are so many beautiful girls."

"Let me see if you can pick one up?"

"I don't want to flirt with them, I don't have the leisure."

"By the way, Boss Xiao Zhao's shop was closed down before, but you still..."

"Get in touch, of course."

Uncle Sun Yile: "You kid is not..."

Chen Zuiyi puffed up his chest and said, "I have something good about this kid!"

Uncle Sun was curious and was about to ask further.

But Chen Zui was the first to change the topic: "Don't talk about me, tell me what's going on."

Uncle Sun: "No, nothing happened. I just wasn't careful when carrying the goods, and I was just trying to show off. I didn't use a belt."

Aunt Zhang said: "It's not about the belt, you are getting older."

Uncle Sun was not happy when he heard this: "Let's go, let's go. I'm only about forty years old, and I can still do my job. Don't listen to the doctor's nonsense. By the way, I saw that the flowers on the balcony were not watered today. You

Watering the water, I don’t know what to do all day long.”

It was too common for an old couple to exchange a few words. Aunt Zhang wanted to reply, but when she saw that Uncle Sun might feel distressed, she curled her lips and actually went to the small kitchen to get water, as if she was going to water the flowers as instructed.

.

Chen Zui looked at Aunt Zhang's back and smiled, turned his head and said, "Uncle Sun, let me tell you something serious."

"What's the matter?"

Chen Zizhi told the truth: "You can't do it if you don't listen to the doctor. This waist is the center of the human body. If the waist is not good, nothing can be done. Do you know..."

Uncle Sun coughed again when he heard this: "How come you are so poor after going to university? Is this a serious matter?"

"Why isn't this a serious matter? Anyway, whether it's for the sake of my aunt or for yourself, if Isosakis gets better, I won't be able to do the work of carrying big bags. If I get sick again and you become paralyzed, my aunt will have to take care of you for the rest of my life, you know.

!"

As soon as this truth was told, the atmosphere in the originally small room darkened in vain.

Uncle Sun sighed after hearing this.

Aunt Zhang, who was collecting water over there, interrupted and said firmly: "That's right."

Uncle Sun thought for a while and told the truth: "That's what I said, but what can I do? There is a daughter at home who is going to school. Your aunt can't make two dollars from work, so I won't say it anymore, I won't say it anymore..."

Chen understood the pain in this, so he patted Uncle Sun on the shoulder: "Uncle, you know I'm a little clever."

"How can you be so boastful if you have something to say..."

"I started a business in college. To put it simply, it's a delivery business. I think it won't matter if you can't do heavy work in the future, but it shouldn't be a problem to deliver some light things, right?"

As soon as Uncle Sun understood, he was about to shake his head when Chen Zui said quickly: "Don't refuse in a hurry, just listen to what I have to say."

"In terms of money, I'm sure you won't make as much money as Kang Da Bao in the early stage. But in the second half of my school district, I want to engage in direct sales. I really need someone trustworthy to do the distribution. And it can take up to half a year. If everything goes well, you can take charge of it."

Once it’s finished, I promise it will only cost a lot more than carrying a big bag.”

Uncle Sun was about to ask in detail.

Chen Zui said again: "I know it's useless for me to just rely on my mouth now. In this way, when you can leave, you come to me and I will take you to our place to have a look. Then you will believe me."

If you don't come to me, I will knock on your door every other week."

These words made Aunt Zhang, who was watering the flowers with a kettle, feel warm in her heart, but she said jokingly: "You are clinging to my grandson?"

Chen Zui nodded: "We're stuck together. I love you."

Uncle Sun knew what kind of kid Chen Zu was, and since he was talking about it, he could only nod his head: "Okay, let's talk about it then."

"Stop talking."

"OK."

"Okay, that's it. I'm leaving then. I haven't gone upstairs to see my mother before I got home, so I came here first."

Uncle Sun waved his hand: "Let's go, let's go. It's the festival tomorrow. Remember to buy something delicious for your mother."

Chen Zui stood up, put on his shoes, said hello to Aunt Zhang and left.

In the room, Aunt Zhang just wanted to ask if this was reliable?

There was another knock on the door. She turned around and opened the door, and saw it was still Chen Zui, as well as a wad of money handed over.

"Give Uncle Sun some time to replenish your health."

Aunt Zhang didn't answer, and Chen knew most likely that she wouldn't answer even if she died, so he just threw it on the shoe rack and closed the door smoothly.

With a "bang" sound, facing this scene, Aunt Zhang could only say: "This child..." Then she heard footsteps outside the door, thumping away.

Picking up the money on the shoe rack, Aunt Zhang turned around and said, "Old Sun... I still have some money left. It's one thousand. Do I have to pay it back?"

Uncle Sun was anxious: "This little bastard, doesn't he look down on me?"

As he spoke, he subconsciously wanted to get up again, but couldn't, so he bared his teeth again.

Aunt Zhang came to the bedside and sat down: "But I should say it or not. I am a good boy. I just talk about it. I start a business and deliver goods. Why does it sound so unreliable to me?"

Uncle Sun endured the pain in his waist and said, "You can send me the money when you have time. As for what Chen Zui said, as he said, you can find out when the time comes."

Aunt Zhang thought for a while: "That's true."

After speaking, the couple fell into silence.

There are many stories about poor and humble couples suffering from everything, and stories about heroes and heroes being stumped by a penny.

Uncle Sun's back injury basically makes their family's future look bleak.

But fortunately, small things that soothe people often happen in life.

After the two were silent for a while, the dark clouds in the sky outside the window were blown away by the wind, and the sun gradually became brighter.

Feeling a little dazzled, they looked at it together, and then the couple actually saw the Clivia that had been growing in a pot on the windowsill for a year blooming.

Its leaves are like green swords, and its six petals are like butterfly wings, blooming very dazzlingly.

The couple smiled and turned to look at each other, seeing light in each other's eyes.
