Early the next morning, Gong Jian went to town. Unexpectedly, shopkeeper Tian asked the boy to come to him three times. It was obvious that he had something urgent to talk to him. But something happened, and when
When he rushed to Tianji Grocery Store, he was in vain.
The young man said to Gong Jian: "Brother Gong, I'm so sorry, our shopkeeper was taken away just now. He is not in the store now."
Gong Jian didn't expect that he would be so unlucky to rush in today. He could only ask the boy first, "How long has your shopkeeper been gone? Did he say where he was going? When will he be back? In the past two days, it was your shopkeeper who asked you to
Are you going to find me at my house?”
The boy quickly answered his series of questions: "Our shopkeeper was just called away by the housekeeper of the old house. I guess something happened at the old house, but the shopkeeper didn't tell me when he would be back. I will go there in the next few days.
Our shopkeeper asked me to go to Brother Gong's house, so I made three trips there."
When the young man said that he was someone from the old house of the Tian family, although he knew the whereabouts of shopkeeper Tian, it was difficult for Gong Jian to find him. He could only continue to look for clues on the young man: "Then you know, your shopkeeper has something to do with me.
What's going on?" Gong Jian asked what he had always wanted to know.
But the little boy obviously didn't know the specific situation here. He scratched the back of his head and said sheepishly: "Here, Brother Gong, I don't know about this. The shopkeeper didn't tell me anything, he just asked me
Go to your house and see if you are home. If you are at home, let me find you to see him."
Gong Jian didn't expect that Shopkeeper Tian asked the boy to go to his house to find him, but he didn't tell the boy why. It seemed that he could only know the reason after Shopkeeper Tian came back.
He walked around the store a few more times, but he really had nothing to do. So, he found the little boy again and asked without giving up: "So this morning, when Shopkeeper Tian was taken away by the housekeeper of the old house, did you give him anything?"
What message should I leave?"
The young boy recalled it for a while and then said: "The butler came very suddenly in the morning, and the shopkeeper was also surprised. They didn't say a few words at that time, and shopkeeper Tian followed the housekeeper and left. He didn't leave anything behind.
Tell me what to say."
When Gong Jian heard what he said, he was helpless. It seemed that it was an unlucky thing that he came here today. But now, he had no other way to do except waiting for shopkeeper Tian to come back. This little guy obviously didn't know anything about it.
Shopkeeper Tian was looking for him anxiously to find out what happened.
According to Gong Jian's guess, finding him should have something to do with hot pot. His recent connection with Tian Ji was the hot pot agreement he had just signed with the manager. Although, Gong Jian originally guessed that this matter could not happen now.
Something went wrong, but looking at Shopkeeper Tian's performance, it seemed that things didn't go as he expected.
After all, the general manager has obtained the hot pot thing, so he must mobilize the efforts of all parties to open the business as soon as possible in order to make more profits. Ordinarily, in less than a month, there should be no problems. He needs to find himself
on the head.
It's not a problem to wait like this forever. Gong Jian was thinking about whether he should leave first. Just when he was about to tell the boy that he planned to make an appointment with Shopkeeper Tian at another time, he rushed to the town again. I don't know.
At some point, a little boy appeared next to him.
This tiger-headed little boy looked up at Gong Jian for a while and found that he had not noticed him, so he stretched out his small fleshy paws and pulled Gong Jian's sleeves.
At this time, Gong Jian was still thinking about whether to stay here and wait for Shopkeeper Tian or go home first. Just when he was sighing that his trip today would be in vain, he felt someone tugging on his sleeve.
He hurriedly turned around to look, only to find that there was no one there. But the feeling of being pulled on his arm continued.
Only then did he react and slowly lowered his head. Only then did he realize that the one who had been pulling his sleeve was a little boy. The boy looked familiar, and Gong Jian was hesitant. He should have seen this boy before, but he
But he couldn't remember exactly where he had seen this child.
Seeing that he finally looked at him, the little boy shouted with a smile: "Brother Gong, Brother Gong."
Hearing this voice, Gong Jian realized that he had indeed seen the little boy in front of him. Isn't this the youngest son of Blacksmith Wang's family, Huzi?
He hurriedly knelt down, took out another piece of candy from his pocket, and put it in the little boy's hand, "Hey, my dear, why are you here to play today?"
The little boy stuffed the candy in his hand into his mouth, and his glasses immediately narrowed into crescent moons. He knew that this brother Gong had something delicious. Thinking of the delicious food, Hu Zi grabbed Gong Jian again.
His sleeve: "Brother Gong, come with me. I'll treat you to something delicious."
Gong Jian didn't expect that Huzi was very strong despite his young age. Under his strong pull, he was actually led to take a few steps forward.
He hesitated for a moment, but there was nothing he could do if he wanted to stay here, so he turned around, greeted the young man, told him where he was going, and then followed Huzi's pull and walked towards Blacksmith Wang's blacksmith shop.
Just like the first time, before he even entered the blacksmith shop, Gong Jian heard the tinkling sound of banging coming from inside. But the difference was that until he walked into the blacksmith shop, he didn't see the two men inside.
There was a figure knocking in front of the stove. He listened carefully again, and it sounded like the knocking sound was coming from the backyard.
Gong Jian was still wondering when the two apprentices of Blacksmith Wang moved from the store to the backyard to work. He heard Huzi shouting as soon as he entered the door: "Dad, I've invited Brother Gong, hurry up and get ready."
Come get something to eat."
Hearing his shout, Gong Jian felt that he just followed Huzi here, and it seemed like he was coming to ask for food. He had been waiting in the grocery store today for shopkeeper Tian to return, and he was dragged directly by Huzi again.
When I got here, I didn't buy any gifts at all. It was really rude to come to the door so rashly.
Gong Jian hurriedly stopped and squatted down, intending to talk to Xiao Huzi. Even if he wanted to eat good food at his house, he would first let him go out and buy some gifts before coming back.
But before he could open his mouth to speak, Blacksmith Wang's bold voice came from behind the first door. "Huzi, who did you bring back to eat good food?"
It seems that this little tiger is used to bringing people home and treating them to dinner. He is so generous and hospitable at a young age, and he doesn't know whose behavior he is imitating. But when Gong Jian thought about how Blacksmith Wang had been behaving, he knew it.
, this is the little tiger son Xiao’s father. (To be continued)
