Chapter 14: Chinese New Year!

　　Tonight, for this one guest, all the income is one hundred yuan, but the cost is only a glass of water.
　　 Of course, you can say that there are costs such as electricity and rent...
　　 But things can’t be counted like this. When Xu Le was in the past, these were costs, but his input was almost negligible. People always had to find a suitable comparison object in order to get themselves a little satisfaction and confidence in life.
　　 In addition, it was because of the girl with Corgi that Zhou Ze knew that this is actually Valentine's Day.
　　 turned over WeChat, found Dr. Lin’s WeChat account, and clicked in. Zhou Ze wanted to send a red envelope and sent 1314 to find that he had not enough money, 131.4 money was enough, but it felt a little maddening.
　　 Anyway, she doesn't sleep with me,
　　Forget it,
　　 no longer sent.
　　 dropped his phone, Zhou Ze casually found the book and turned it over, and kept this posture until the morning.
I went to the next door to eat ravioli, the skin is not thin, the stuffing is not thick, Zhou Ze is unclear, still according to the previous way of eating, a big bowl of plum juice is swallowed immediately after going down, and then pinched his neck there. Breathe deeply, suppressing the urge to vomit.
　　 Thinking that he had to follow this process every time he ate, Zhou Ze felt that his future days seemed to be overshadowed.
　　Zhou Ze remembered the man who was also suffering from the porridge in the video, and thought of some sorrow, eating was originally one of the greatest enjoyment of people in the world, but now, they have been insulated from them.
　　I don’t know if there is an "anorexia" club in the world. Everyone sits around a table at the party. Who can eat a bite of rice first, and then everyone thumbs up together:
　　 "You are awesome!
　　My XXX is so good! "
　　 Take a deep breath, this picture is a little chilling.
　　In any case, yesterday’s video included the old man in the video and the man who drank the porridge. For Zhou Ze, it was temporarily too far away.
　　After Valentine's Day, it is New Year's Eve, which is the 30th of the year. If it is changed to usual, this business center will definitely be decorated with lights, and the "New Year's Eve" will be very full, but in fact it is still the same old and cold.
　　 This is like life,
　　Since there have been scenery, it will naturally be lonely.
　　Zhou Ze remembered that when this commercial center was first opened, it was also in the limelight. Nowadays, no one is interested.
　　 Xu Qinglang's business is good today. It should be the reason why many other stores are closed. He still insists on taking out food in the 30th year. Naturally, he can harvest more orders. After all, customers have less choice and fewer.
　　 From time to time, a take-out brother wearing blue clothes, yellow clothes or red clothes came in and out of his noodle shop. Zhou Ze crouched at the door of his bookstore and smoked with emotion.
　　 Xu Le, the dog, the Japanese, how good it was to start a yellow braised chicken.
　　The fairy in the mythological story likes to say the most: one day in the sky, one year on the ground.
　　 In fact, Zhou Ze felt that this should be right, and was equally common.
　　Remember that I died in a car accident...No, I remember that when I was sent to the incinerator for incineration, it should have just been on Children's Day on Children's Day.
　　 For half a year, I passed so fast, and I had a dream in my life, but it was just a half-hearted walk on Huangquan Road.
　　 smoked a lot of cigarettes and thought a lot, and Zhou Ze felt a little tired. He took out his mobile phone and wanted to see what movies he had recently, just next to the cinema, so he could go there and pass the time.
　　 "Hey, do you have any newspapers there?" Xu Qinglang, who took the last batch of takeaway brothers out of the circle, came out.
"doing what?"
　　 "Wall the wall." Xu Qinglang replied.
　　 "So economical?"
　　 "Newspapers hang on the walls to have a sense of atmosphere and time, won't you sell out yesterday?"
　　 "There are still some, waiting, I will look for you."
　　Zhou Ze returned to the store and moved a stack of half-height newspapers in the box next to his freezer on the second floor. After going downstairs, he gave it to Xu Qinglang who was waiting there.
　　 "You are not going home for the New Year?" Xu Qinglang asked.
　　 "With the book to celebrate the New Year."
　　 It’s a pity that Zhou Ze didn’t have goat hair and no wine in his hand.
　　 Otherwise, it would be a big confession for the sentence B full of words.
　　 "Aren't you not home yet?" Zhou Ze asked himself after being intoxicated for a while.
　　 "Twenty suites, which house do I go back to." Xu Qinglang sighed.
　　 "............" Zhou Ze.
　　The two were silent for a while, Zhou Ze said, "Tell you a story."
"Okay." Xu Qinglang nodded, his expression slightly subtle, his hair a little long, a few strands of hair hanging down, running into the corner of his mouth, he stretched his hand to touch the hair, the posture was gentle, really shameful .
　　 The amorous feelings here are not enough for outsiders.
　　 "Once, also on the day of the Chinese New Year, on the way late at night, someone met a local richest man.
　　The rich got drunk drunk.
　　 The man asked the rich man, why don’t you go home,
　　The rich replied: Home, where is my home? My family and relatives are not by my side. Is your home the biggest manor in the city? "
　　Xu Qinglang listened to this story and nodded slightly, as if feeling the same.
　　 "Then the man pressed the rich man to the ground and flattened, shouting:
　　 Tells you that you are too big for New Year's Eve! "
　　Zhou Ze continued to tell the story.
　　 "............" Xu Qinglang.
　　 The chat between the two ended,
　　Zhou Ze returned to his bookstore. The bookstore was heated and warm, with his mobile phone flipped in his hand. No one could contact him.
　　 thought about going to the orphanage to see, but I still thought about it, I didn’t have much money left.
　　 But at this time, a guest came to the door. It was a young man wearing a blue overalls and a hard hat. He pushed open the door of the bookstore and walked in, asking a little shyly:
　　 "Here, can I read a book? How much is it?" The other party pursed his lips.
　　 "Look, the money looks at it." Zhou Ze waved his hand, indicating that the other party was free.
　　 "That feeling is good, do you have a novel here?" The young man said with some restraint, "I like reading novels, the kind of online novels."
　　Zhou Ze pointed to a box at the back of the bookshelf, "It's all there."
　　 The other party walked over to the box and turned a few times, looking very happy, but some book covers were still there.
　　 "Look at it, don't charge money." Zhou Ze said generously.
"okay."
　　The young man opened a web novel, and then sat on a plastic stool and started to read it.
　　Zhou Ze sat as a boss and trimmed his nails behind the counter. The young man read there. About half an hour later, the young man got up from the chair, took out his cigarette, and handed Zhou Ze one:
　　 "It's not a good smoke, don't mind."
　　 "Hey, cigarette is not a good thing, what is good or bad."
　　Zhou Ze took the cigarette, and the other party took one and took the initiative to go outside the store door, lighting cigarettes while blowing cold wind.
　　 This made Zhou Ze, who was originally planning to smoke in the house, stunned for a moment. It was a good idea to put the smoke aside and continue to trim the nails.
　　The young man walked back after smoking outside. This time he did not continue to sit on the plastic stool, but sat against the wall floor.
　　Although the air-conditioning is turned on in the house, the tiles on the floor are still very cold, but the young people do not care, and they are used to it on weekdays.
After about an quarter of an hour, there were four men wearing blue clean overalls that were cleanly washed outside the shop door. The oldest one was less than 30 years old. The youngest one was probably seventeen. About years old.
　　The four people came in together. The young man leaning against the wall waved at them, he should have called them over.
　　 Later people greeted Zhou Ze, Zhou Ze persevered to deal with it, or continued to trim his nails;
　　Zhou Ze decided to buy a set of professional nail repairing equipment, so that he could afford his nails.
　　 It's just that the express delivery is currently out of service. Most of the physical stores outside are closed, so we can only do it temporarily.
　　 looked up again, and Zhou Ze found that the five co-workers were sitting on the ground watching each with a novel in their hands.
　　Look at the cover to know that it is a full-blown online novel. Most of them are fantasy. One of them is holding a horror and biting his nails while reading it. Obviously, he is very interested.
　　 It's just that the behavior of the other party biting her nails makes Zhou Ze a little bit different,
　　 Know how to cherish your nails before you know how to cherish life.
　　 From time to time someone looked at the novel and laughed. This was a smile from the heart.
　　 There are many people in the bookstore, but it is very quiet, and there is a little noise from time to time, but it is not too disturbing.
　　 In the evening, Xu Qinglang walked in with a bowl of dumplings, and when he came in, he said directly:
　　 "Yeah, the shop is quite lively."
　　Zhou Ze nodded with a smile.
　　 "Brother, what do you want to eat?" Coworkers sitting in Xu Qinglang's shop asked.
　　Everyone looked at each other,
　　 Somewhat at a loss.
　　 "Forget it, I invite you." After all, Xu Qinglang is a man with more than two dozen sets. "It's not easy for the elders to go home. It's not easy for a few brothers to go home. They are all out of hard money. All the people in the world are brothers."
　　 "Then, thank you boss, the boss makes a fortune." The oldest worker got up and thanked Xu Qinglang.
　　 "It should be, it should be."
　　 Xu Qinglang put down Zhou Ze's dumplings and went back to his shop.
　　Zhou Ze drank a little soup, then swallowed two dumplings forcibly. Xu Qinglang hated that he forgot to bring himself sour plum juice, he couldn't eat it.
　　 took out the cigarette on the table and Zhou Ze came out from behind the counter.
　　 "After reading it, I will change it myself. Some of my items here should be a full set. Anyway, when I open this store, it is also a loss-making business. Don't be polite to me."
　　Zhou Ze handed over cigarettes one by one,
　　Workers were taken over one by one in surprise.
　　 Then everyone all got up and walked outside to squat in a row and smoked.
　　 They are unwilling to dirty the environment in the store.
　　Zhou Ze thought for a while, and walked out of the shop. Outside, the wind was a little cold. He also squatted down next to it and smoked together.
　　Workers chatting,
　　 married, chat about their own aunt, chat about their children;
　　 Not married, chatting with each other in Tongcheng or my hometown
　　 is playing with each other,
　　 teasing each other,
　　Everyone knows everything,
　　 But there are still some chats.
　　 The group of coworkers knew from the accent that they came from Tiannan Haibei, not from a village.
Tongcheng is close to Shanghai and belongs to the Yangtze River Delta region. Although it is not comparable to Shanghai, the annual labor force here is still very large. As long as you are willing to endure hardships, you are willing to endure hardships. .
　　The cigarette smoked each other twice,
　　Zhou Ze said, "How old are you, don't you really go home for the New Year?"
　　 "I don't go back, my family is good."
　　 "It's a hassle to go back and forth. There is still work in the first month. The boss will also send red envelopes. If you don't take it, you can send more money back."
　　 "Haha, it's good today, there are novels to watch, there is smoking, this year, I also have a taste of life."
　　 "Boss, when will you close the door?" a coworker asked.
　　 "Do not close the door." Zhou Ze replied.
　　 "Boss not going home?"
　　 "The girls at home are not obedient, so they won't go back."
　　Zhou Zedun feels arrogant in the sky!
　　Workers gave thumbs up to Zhou Ze and applauded him.
　　 Of course, no one would go too far to get along, you can feel it by listening to the accent, and Zhou Ze’s opened bookstore is not a fruit stand. Workers guessed that Zhou Ze was a local.
　　 There is also a reason why local people don’t go home by guarding their stores during the Chinese New Year, so everyone did not continue to make fun of this.
　　 Moreover, each of them is the backbone of the family. They come out to work to earn money. The elderly and children in the family are all under the control of their own aunts. They work hard and they are tired, but their aunts are the same.
　　Life is hard work and hard work. Whose life is easy?
　　Zhou Zegang was about to continue to smoke, and a shout came from afar:
　　 "Xu Le!"
　　Zhou Ze raised his head and stood up, only to find a Porsche Cayenne, a familiar car parked on the road opposite,
　　 Well, my mother-in-law's car.
　　 shouted that the little aunt, she was really scared by Zhou Ze in the toilet a while ago, but now it has returned to normal, she can’t think that her brother-in-law is a ghost, so she just blamed her for being dazzled.
　　 Of course, she can't have a good temper for Zhou Ze, after all, she actually scared the urine of Miss Ben, what a shame!
　　 "Xu Le, go home to eat!"
　　 called auntie.
　　 "I don't go back, the store is busy and very lively." Zhou Ze waved his hand.
　　 jokes,
　　 New Year's Eve to go back to meet the father-in-law of the pit father?
　　 Get angry with this ignorant little aunt?
the most important,
　　 hurriedly hurried home to split the bed to sleep?
　　 Looking for abuse?
　　 "Sister, is this guy a neuropathy! Unreasonable, inexplicable, and the duck's mouth is dead!"
　　 Auntie sat on the back seat and muttered.
Dr. Lin smiled, "Let’s go home and eat with my parents first."
　　 "Yo, listen to that, sister, are you going out at night?"
　　 "I am his, after all, a legal wife." Dr. Lin said nothing more and started the car and left here.
　　 Watched the car go away,
　　Zhou Ze shouted to the coworkers around him: "How old is my aunt, beautiful?"
"Pretty!"
　　 "Blessed!"
"Too beautiful!"
　　 "Ha ha ha ha."
　　 Xu Qinglang came out of the store with a large tray,
　　 "Come, braised pork with rice, brother, let's eat!"
　　Workers were a bit restrained and a little embarrassed. The oldest worker was a little embarrassed and said: "We didn't bring any with us..."
"As I said before, I invite the brothers to have a meal! When I mention the money again, I will show it to my improper brother. In the future, the South and the North may encounter it someday, and there will be times when I beg your brothers. "
"it is good!"
　　 "One sentence!"
　　 "Waiting for you to come to my home..."
"Come!"
　　Workers all carried a large bowl of rice into the bookstore. Everyone squatted on the ground and put the bowl on the plastic bench to eat.
　　 There was a coworker who was reading a novel while eating and was knocked by a coworker next to him with chopsticks.
　　 "The guy who was guilty of eating lard, if you accidentally get your book dirty, how can the boss sell it?"
　　 "Yes, eat first."
The atmosphere was very lively. Zhou Ze went back to his counter and had some cold dumplings. He ate three more. This time I don’t know why, maybe because of the atmosphere. His nausea is much smaller than before .
　　 After the meal,
　　 The big guy continued reading.
　　 In the house, there is heating and reading novels, which is very harmonious.
　　 Unconsciously, it was ten o'clock in the evening.
　　 The oldest co-worker stood up and stretched out, saying, "Brother, it's time, come back. Let's help people clean up the house."
"okay!"
　　Five coworkers helped Zhou Ze clean the store up and down.
　　 "Boss, we are gone, thank you for today."
　　 "You're welcome." Zhou Ze waved his hand.
　　 They are gone,
　　 It was not like the girl with Corgi last night. After reading the book for a while, it left a hundred pieces. They watched the day and half of the night, and did not leave a dollar.
　　 But Zhou Ze didn't care about it at all, and there was no slight dissatisfaction.
　　 stretched his waist, Zhou Ze planned to call Xu Qinglang to take back the tableware and chopsticks in the store. When walking to the noodle shop, Zhou Ze saw Xu Qinglang sitting at the table and reading the newspaper.
　　 Well, the newspaper was still given to him by Zhou Ze during the day.
　　 Xu Qinglang was wearing a pair of gold-framed glasses, and he did look a little bit angry at the book. Worthy of being a man with more than two dozen suites, UU reading books www.uukanshu.com
　　 has temperament in any way!
　　 "Chopsticks over there, you clean up." Zhou Ze said.
　　 "Okay, here we go."
　　 Xu Qinglang put down his glasses, rubbed his eyes, and got up to pick up the tableware next door.
　　 The top of the large stack of newspapers is a Yangtze Evening News. The date is seven days ago;
　　 On the cover page of the first page of the newspaper, there is a big bold news:
　　 "Residential building fire, seeing the courageous and moving room"
　　Last week, a densely populated residential area in Tongcheng burst into flames and the fire was serious.
　　Five young construction workers ran into the rescue site regardless of the danger, and rescued more than 20 elderly women, children, but after they rushed into the fire for the last time to save people,
　　 failed to run out again.
There is a big picture on the cover of 　　Yangtze Evening News,
　　 This is a group photo of these five people,
　　 They stood together side by side, compared to the old scissors hands, it seemed to be a photo taken after living in a shed when they first came to the site,
　　 Zhang Qingshen, but also with some vicissitudes and wrinkles,
　　 in the photo,
　　 smiled a bit cautiously, but also very brilliant.
　　 Xu Qinglang walked into the bookstore,
　　 looked at the five bowls of rice on the plastic bench in front of him,
　　 hasn't moved a bite, and the food has been gone for a long time,
　　Each bowl of rice has a pair of chopsticks inserted straight upside down.
　　 "Brother,
　　 Eat well,
　　 Drink well. "
　　 Xu Qinglang murmured.
　　 outside,
　　 The sound of firecrackers sounded,
　　There is no smoking ban in Tongcheng. For a time, Xia Cai is full of sky and it is very lively and festive.
　　 Zhou Ze raised his head and looked out,
　　 Low channel:
　　 "Chinese New Year."
