Facts have proved that the good weather is only a small probability event, and the small snowflakes that coincided with the occasion were floating intermittently that morning. Even without the sun coming out, they turned into rainwater and rolled into the sewer, as if they had never appeared, let alone persisted.
It’s next Christmas.
Of course, it doesn’t really matter whether it’s appropriate or not. Others don’t know it. Anyway, Tangdou Children’s Shoes don’t care about Christmas. You can easily tell that a few years ago, the brother and sister were struggling to have enough food and clothing, and they didn’t have it at all.
The leisurely and elegant atmosphere of the festival, not to mention such imported products from the West.
As for the Tang Dynasty, although he had been in Europe and America for more than ten years in his previous life and had integrated into the local customs and habits, due to his well-known professional relationship, he did not leave any unique and deep impression on such festivals. In the few memories
, I basically live it as an ordinary day, either training, staying home, or going on a mission. At most, before killing the target with one shot, I send friendly and well-intentioned blessings, say Merry Christmas, and then pull the trigger...
There is no need to mention the past. After Christmas, it is New Year’s Day, and the New Year festival is still worth paying attention to.
According to the usual practice in previous years, on the first day of the new year, there should be a banquet at the Xie family's old house, where the direct clan members and the branch tribes living near Lingjiang gather together or something. However, the past year of 2011 was really not very friendly to the Xie family, and it was just a waste of time.
We held several events, but they basically never stopped from the beginning to the end of the year. After many considerations, we finally dropped the event.
Of course, there are arrangements in private. For example, on New Year's Day, Xie Wei called her brother and sister, and some other immediate family members to have a casual meal. The location was not at the Xie family's old house, but at a restaurant, on the dinner table.
The atmosphere was still good, talking and laughing as usual, but it could be seen that everyone was trying their best to avoid certain topics. Occasionally, some ignorant children mentioned it, and the scene fell silent for a moment before being interrupted by adults.
Overall, it was a bit strange, and it ended hastily in the end.
The shortcomings of parents are mostly trivial and boring, so let’s not talk about it. In fact, from the Tang Dynasty’s point of view, the Xie family is much more pleasing to the eye now than when they first met their relatives. They have begun to understand the principles of being a low-key person. This is good and can save a lot of money.
Unnecessary trouble.
After talking about these external affairs, let’s talk about the living conditions of the brother and sister. Basically, they are no different from before. One goes to school and the other opens a shop. Oh, it is still different from before. The main reason is because of the incident of the crying girl group. This
The hot spot has basically passed now, but the subsequent impact will not dissipate so easily.
Thanks to his gift, Tang Yun Qinxie, an inconspicuous music shop that originally followed a small but sophisticated approach, has now completely developed a reputation in Lingjiang Musical Instruments Store. It is an exaggeration to say that it is making a fortune every day, but its turnover is rapid.
Growth is indeed an indisputable fact. Even in the winter when the market is average, the momentum is great. For this reason, upper-level suppliers also contacted Xie Wei to discuss opening a branch and recruiting franchisees.
Of course, this proposal was declined by Xie Wei before it reached the Tang Dynasty. My aunt still knew someone's salty fish attributes very well... In fact, someone was really considering whether to hire a clerk. The business was so good.
, so much so that it delayed his important task of sharpening his knife and building a guitar. However, before he could make a decision, a new member came to the piano store uninvited...
…
One afternoon at the end of January, "Brother, I'm here!" The sweet wind chime was mixed with the clear voice of the lark, and the jelly beans children's shoes rushed into the store with a cold current. Tang Chao, who was dealing with the fast food boxes behind the cashier, did not even raise his head.
, waved his chopsticks in response.
"Brother, why are you having lunch now?" The air-conditioning temperature in the music store was still quite high. The little girl pulled down the zipper of her down jacket and asked in surprise.
"We have guests here at noon, have you eaten?" Tang Chao drank the included soup slowly, covered the snack box and raised his head, "Uncle Jianping has been discharged from the hospital? How is your recovery?"
Today, Saturday, happened to be when Xie Jianping was discharged from the hospital. The little girl, who had nothing to do, went to the hospital with Xie Wei in the morning. "It's very good. The wheelchair I originally prepared was not used. My third uncle insisted on using crutches by himself, so he said it would be better as soon as possible."
We can't beat him even if we exercise. But the doctor said that he should be able to recover after two months of recovery."
The third uncle is Xie Jianping. The two brothers and sisters have different names because someone didn't want to get too involved with the Xie family before, but later he got used to it and didn't change his name.
"That's good." Tang Chao nodded as expected, packed up the fast food box and stood up to throw it out. The little girl who passed by and got in thought of something and said, "By the way, brother, when we were eating at the third uncle's house at noon,
My aunt's company's winter travel itinerary has been finalized. The location is in Europe, why don't you go with us?" He trailed off a little coquettishly at the end.
"This matter..."
The tourism issue was brought up a week ago. It was actually about company team building. The two businesses that Xie Wei took over before, the city's logistics has not seen much improvement yet, but foreign trade has really started. The Tang Dynasty did not pay attention to the specifics.
I only heard that the results were quite good, and the foreign trade company that was on the verge of bankruptcy was successfully turned around from losses to profits.
This is also expected. After all, where is Xie Wei's ability? Of course he can achieve results in such a short period of time. In addition to Xie Wei, a boss who leads by example, the employees under him are probably also being squeezed.
Light, so it is necessary to relax appropriately during team building in the organization.
In addition, the little girl's half-year review time is coming soon, and she will be flying abroad soon. So I can take the little girl out for a walk during the upcoming winter vacation to broaden her horizons.
The previously decided location was North America or Europe, but the Tang Dynasty didn't really want to move there. Firstly, it was because the European and American continents were really nothing strange to him. Secondly, it was about the underground world. As far as he knew, the Wei Dynasty
There have been some recent moves at the Hell God Court... If nothing else happens, what is supposed to come will always come. It seems that Alva's matter can no longer be covered up...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! "You haven't had a holiday yet, I'll think about it later." After hesitating, Tang Chao replied.
"Okay." The little girl didn't insist anymore after hearing this. She burrowed under the cashier and rummaged for something before her voice came out, "Is the pork belly in the store?"
"It was here just now, look for it..." He pushed the door open and was hit by a gust of cold wind. At the same time, he lowered his head subconsciously, and an afterimage rushed past his feet and slipped into the store, "Uh, now
It’s in the store, it’s coming in.”
"Ah? Where is it?"
When Tang Chao threw away the lunch box and walked back into the store, he saw a little girl squatting outside the cashier, carefully stroking a big cat that was eating, her eyes turned into crescent moons, looking satisfied.
That was an adult stray cat, a new member of the music business.
The reason why its wandering status can be confirmed is mainly because of its appearance, that is, the color of its coat. The coat color of ordinary domestic cats is still mixed, black and white or orange and white are quite common, and there are even three colors mixed together, which is commonly known as
of three flowers.
This uninvited stray cat is awesome. It has five colors all over its body, which are not evenly distributed. It only has one head, two cat ears, two eyes, and a three-petal mouth in five places.
It was divided into five colors. From a distance, it looked like a palette abandoned by an art student. It was so ugly that not many people wanted to keep it.
This stray cat appeared in early January. It probably couldn't bear the severe cold on the street, so it followed the guests who pushed in and snuck in to use the air conditioner. It made no sound, and Tang Chao really didn't notice it at that time.
It was a little girl who came over from school to practice piano and stepped on it under the piano.
Generally speaking, stray cats have wild personalities and are extremely wary of the outside world. They can only successfully survive to adulthood and are naturally more alert. If they are stepped on, they will jump out with a cry and then use thunder.
Not able to cover his ears, he hit the glass door with a loud bang and was stunned on the spot...
Feeling guilty, Tangdou Tongshoe ran out and bought a bag of dried fish and placed it on the edge of the display cabinet where the stray cat was hiding. After several attempts, the cat refused to eat it. Later, when the customer entered the store, a puff of smoke disappeared.
go out.
A few days later, this stray cat with mixed fur appeared again near the trash can on the street corner. Because it was so recognizable, the little girl recognized it at a glance and ran back to the store to open the bag that was not thrown away.
Take out the dried fish and put it on that piece... After several times, the two parties have really developed a certain tacit understanding.
Around the middle of the month, this stray cat, which gradually became bolder, began to appear inside and outside the music store. At first, it would sneak in with customers, and later, it would just squat in when Tang Dynasty opened the door every morning. This was probably the first time.
The painful lesson of knocking on the door is too profound. I didn’t learn to open the door, but I learned to push the door out...
At this point, the brother and sister will inevitably discuss the issue of adoption. Tang Chao's attitude is all-or-nothing. To put it bluntly, he doesn't care. The brother and sister have also had the experience of adopting stray animals before. Well, to be precise, that shouldn't be the case.
It’s called adoption, but free-range. The southern suburbs are no better than the city, and there are still quite a lot of stray cats and dogs. At that time, the brother and sister were also short of money, and it was difficult to feed themselves. Naturally, there was no talk of adopting pets, and they just threw away the extra stuttering ones.
.
The little girl has the idea of adoption. I have to say that some things are really amazing. If she hadn't stepped on her head and hit the door, no matter how compassionate the little girl was, she would probably be a stutterer and would not consider adoption.
, but after this experience, this ugly stray cat fell in love with the little girl.
He also gave him a name, Pork Belly... Well, this name was given by the Tang Dynasty, and it was naturally based on its mottled coat colors. The little girl didn't agree with it at first, but later found out that she had named it something like 'rainbow' or 'butterfly'.
The cat's ears immediately stood up when he was called Pork Belly, so he had no choice but to settle on this name.
But having said that, things like adoption depend on both parties. There is no problem with Tangdou, but the problem is with Pork Belly.
Maybe he was so wild that he didn't even pay attention to the little girl's cat nest that was specially built in the back room of the piano store. Except for showing up before and after meals every day, he came in from time to time to use the air conditioner. The rest of the time, Pork Belly still wandered outside and was unusually cold.
Except for letting the little girl touch him when eating, no one else could get close to him, including Tang Chao, who would run away as soon as there was any sign of approaching...
Just like now, as soon as Tang Chao opened the door and walked in, the pork belly over there raised his head from the cat food bowl, and stared at him with unblinking eyes. At the same time, he leaned his upper body, hinting at the precursor of an attack, "It's okay, it's okay, that's my brother.
Keep eating..." He stroked the cat's head with his little hand, and Tang Bean comforted him softly, as if the ugly cat could understand...
Pouting his lips, Tang Chao looked back with some displeasure. At the same time, he couldn't help but mutter to himself, he still holds a grudge?!
Well, the vigilance of pork belly is not without reason. Of course, someone has a clear conscience. There is still a risk factor for wild cats. Just in case, someone took advantage of the little girl's absence and grabbed pork belly and beat him.
Remember vaccination shots...
Well, a little incident, not worth mentioning. What is worth mentioning is that this is not the real reason for the grudge evaluation. To be honest, cats were not raised before the Tang Dynasty. I don’t know if such animals are so smart. Anyway, since then
After the incident, Pork Belly looked at him with something wrong. He even planned several sneak attacks, trying to stamp Tang Chao with his cat claws... but of course it failed, and he flew away casually.
, but judging from the current situation, Pork Belly has obviously not given up on this idea and is very persistent!
Shaking his head, as usual, after eating Pork Belly, he would play with Mianzi and Tangdou Shitou Guan. Since they disliked each other, Tang Chao stopped getting involved and went straight to the studio behind, leaving the store to the little girl to watch.
That's fine, she can operate the cashier system.
On the table in the studio, various wood tools are piled up. After several modifications, the Tang Dynasty brand guitar is almost completed. Currently, only three guitars have been built, all of which are customized. Except for the Tang Dynasty guitar for personal use, the other two
Naturally, it is the owner of the signed photo on the wall of the piano store, Chu Fengya, and the little star named Linlin.
In a quiet atmosphere, the outside piano shop played soothing old songs from the last century, and the melodious melodies with rich textures echoed, making it more and more quiet. Tang Chao was very focused when he was at work. Perhaps this is the charm of hand-made products.
Finally, from chaos to gradually polished to clear lines of raw materials, etc., the accumulated sense of accomplishment is really enjoyable.
Let’s not talk about the final quality of the three guitars that are about to be completed now, but in the process, Tang Chao vaguely felt the reason why a certain killer king loves handicrafts, and the fun in it is indeed not known to outsiders.
I don't know how much time passed, but suddenly, a slightly harsh and exciting electric guitar melody suddenly reached my ears. Someone should be auditioning in the outer hall. He paused slightly with the file in his hand, frowned, and put it down helplessly.
It’s not that the melody is jarring, but to be honest, this electric guitar is of good quality, and can even be called a professional. The frown is because the work state that I finally got into has been broken, and I feel a little uncomfortable.
There was the sound of tapping footsteps, and I turned around to see that at the door of the studio, Tangdou appeared with a tigerish face and pursed his lips: "Brother, come out and take a look, it seems... someone is here to cause trouble!"
