Chapter 142 142: Inquire【Please give me monthly tickets】
The butcher shop is open to welcome customers as usual.
The butcher chopped a front hoof into more than a dozen pieces of meat with a few clicks, then packed it with lotus leaves, tied it with a thin hemp rope, and collected all the money. In the butcher shop, you can occasionally hear him haggling with customers for a few pennies or a few meat bones, forming a corner of the puzzle in the market.
“Arong!”
A summons came from outside the butcher shop.
As soon as the words fell, the butcher's fat son suddenly raised his head, dropped the boning knife with a clang, and almost ran towards the person, shouting as he ran: "Teacher, why are you here?"
The butcher doesn't need to. Everyone knew who this person was. He stared angrily with his big copper eyes and yelled angrily: "You old guy, you have been running away these days." Where have you gone? You didn’t even say hello to anyone. If you die somewhere, who will collect the body for you?”
Little Fatty Duner wanted to hug Chu Yao, but he was helping at the butcher’s shop today. His fleshy hands were stained with animal oil and blood. He realized something was wrong when he reached halfway. He smiled and wiped his hands back and forth on the hem of his clothes, wiping the oil all over his body.
This scene made the butcher feel heartbroken and angry.
Unfortunately, his son also corrected his disrespectful remarks very seriously, saying that he must be virtuous and respect his teachers. The butcher could only curse and said: "You prodigal thing, you ruined the fresh clothes your mother gave you? You are so tired of living -"
After saying that, he raised the big palm of the cattail leaf without the knife.
When the little fat man saw this gesture, his butt subconsciously hurt, and he hurriedly hid behind Chu Yao, wishing that he could cover himself tightly and make the butcher even more angry. Chu Yao tried to persuade him in a funny way, but the butcher said angrily: "This little brat has learned a few words from you since then. He says 'teacher is long' and 'teacher is short' all day long, just like a kid raised for you! I work hard every day." Who do you want to work for?"
Chu Yao smiled and said: "This shows that Ah Rong If you are filial and polite, how about your parents? "
The young Chu Yao may not be able to bear the scornful names such as "old thing" and "old guy", but now he After working at the bottom of Xiaocheng for so many years, some of the edges and corners have long since been smoothed away.
He is acquainted with these neighbors, and he knows very well what is wrong with their mouths, their words are vulgar and unpleasant, and most of the time they have nothing to do with simplicity, but if you really want to say they have any malicious intentions, they are not.
Just forget it after hearing it.
The butcher couldn't get used to hearing Chu Yao's frivolous words. He only knew that they were good words, so he softened his attitude, lowered his voice and was concerned about Chu Yao's whereabouts these days. During the time that Chu Yao was gone, this little bully-like boy in his family was almost killing him.
Chu Yao replied: "I moved to a new place with the new owner."
The butcher then began to look at Chu Yao carefully, and suddenly found that the usually quiet old man had changed. . Although the clothes were still starched and white, they were clean and without patches. The most important thing was his mental outlook. The deadness that had accumulated in his brows had been swept away. Even his body seemed to be straighter than before, making him several years younger.
Looking at this appearance, the butcher knew that Chu Yao's life was much better in his new master's house than in Yuehua Building, and he was vaguely happy for him.
Butcher: "If that's the case, then my son..."
He wanted to say that he didn't need to be taught. He was greedy for cheap before, and he saw Chu Yao was pitiful and wanted to help him, so he proposed to let Chu Yao help him. Enlighten his son. Now that Chu Yao has changed his master's house and moved to another place, he probably doesn't have any extra energy to take care of his son.
He later spent more money to send his son to another private school.
When the butcher thought of this, his face trembled with distress.
The private school teacher is younger than Chu Yao, but he is more pedantic, rigid and old-fashioned than him. He talks a lot and likes to act like a scholar. When people with poor family backgrounds want to send their children to study, his face is... He kept talking for a long time and said "unworthy" both inside and outside of his words. The poorer the student is, the less merciless he will be. It just so happened that the butcher was the one he despised the most.
I can almost imagine how long my pedantic and lifeless face would be if I came to ask for a place in school.
Unexpectedly, Chu Yao said that his son should continue to read it.
The butcher was naturally happy, but still asked: "Does your master agree?"
Chu Yao said: "I admitted a new student two days ago, one is a student, and the other two are also students, so why not We can take it with us. It’s just that things are a bit busy and we need to come here every once in a while. Ah Rong must work hard and not lose to your junior sister by slacking off.”
Little Fatty's surname is Tu Mingrong.
This serious name was given by Chu Yao.
The previous nicknames were Dashuan and Tu Dashuan.
(*ΦωΦ*)
The butcher was stunned when he heard this: "Still a girl?"
Chu Yao said: "Although she is a girl, her talent is really good."
The butcher felt that it was novel, raised his palm and slapped his son on the back of the head, staring at him and threatening him to study hard and not be lazy.
The little chubby boy shrank his neck, puffed out his cheeks and snorted, then hid behind Chu Yao and looked at the teacher with gleaming eyes, expecting him to teach new content. Who knew that Chu Yao was not here to teach him this time, but to inquire about some news.
Inquire about several families.
It is said to be inquiring, but in fact it is just to quietly lead the gossip topic to those households when chatting.
This butcher shop is a "time-honored brand" that has been passed down for three generations. It never sells rotten meat and smelly meat. It is of high quality and low price. Most people nearby will buy meat from him, which also gives the butcher a huge "network of contacts". ", every family can tell a story about the gossip.
The butcher is not a careful person, so he naturally has no doubts. In addition, he himself is a loudspeaker who can't hold back his words. The gossip chat started and I couldn't stop the car. I talked contentedly for a while, and there was key information that Chu Yao wanted to know.
Speaking of which, Chu Yao didn’t ask anything. He just started: "On the way here, I saw an old man who looked like Mr.
The old man is also a "celebrity" in the neighborhood. He is stingy, loves to take advantage of others, brags, and almost beats the mother-in-law to death who gave birth to three daughters in a row. He squeezes the three daughters in the family to raise two precious sons. It is so serious. The neighbors can’t stand it anymore.
The eldest son is a street kid who is addicted to gambling. The younger son has become a successful man and has some luck. He is a low-ranking official and now works in Xiaocheng Bank. As we all know, that's a bad job. It's just that he was older when he joined the company, and stealing money from the treasury requires childish skills, so the family's situation has not improved much.
Chu Yao asked this question, firstly to open up the conversation, and secondly to test the current situation of his youngest son through the tight-lipped father-in-law. Counting tax dollars and loading trucks is not something that can be completed in one or two days. In order to make the people below work hard, the people at the top will not only give warnings, but also reward and appease them, a two-pronged approach.
If the family suddenly has a small fortune and the family prepares dry food and clothes for the young son to travel far away, it means that the date is approaching.
Worried that the child from that family was not in the escort team, Chu Yao planned to inquire about a few more families.
