Chapter 211 I'll carry it
After Chu Hengyi came out of the street office in low spirits, he simply collected himself and rode to the department store.
Although it is now approaching evening and the sun is not as fierce as it was at noon, the temperature is still very hot, similar to yesterday, windless and stuffy.
I don’t know when there will be heavy rain to extinguish this annoying heat.
Chu Heng regrets it now. If he had known that this summer would be like this, he should have stored more ice cubes in the warehouse!
He was walking at a fast speed, and when he was about to reach the department store, he suddenly met a big brother selling popsicles.
The old man was standing lazily in the shade on the street. There was a wheelbarrow next to him. He was holding a piece of wood wrapped in a popsicle wrapper and banging on the wheel. That big wooden box stuffed with quilts and other insulation materials, with the The gong shouted in a loud voice: "Possicles, defeat the fire! Butter, adzuki bean, three points, five points, popsicles, defeat the fire! Don't come to me for diarrhea!"
This is not a hawker. Serious state-owned factory workers receive high wages!
Chu Heng's eyes lit up when he saw it. He didn't save ice cubes, but it was the same thing to save some popsicles. It was just spending more money. Isn't that what we were missing?
He rushed up and stopped in front of the old man selling popsicles. He smiled and asked: "Brother, how much do you have left?"
I went out to sell goods on a hot day. My brother was a little angry. His eyelids drooped, and he yelled at me: "Do you care how much is left? How can you cover it all?"
Chu Heng had long been accustomed to their homely service attitude, so he didn't get angry with him and kept smiling. Hehehe said to him: "Hey, you really said that, I intend to wrap things up for you."
The old man was stunned when he heard this, and he didn't believe it: "Are you kidding me? ”
Few people have refrigerators these days, so why buy so many popsicles? Let’s melt it down and drink sugar water!
“Who are you kidding? I bought it from the department store in front of me for someone in my work unit.”
Chu Heng started telling lies. As he spoke, he took out 20 yuan from his body and slapped it on the box. Finally, he pretended to feel in the bag, took a new cloth bag from the warehouse and handed it over, smiling: " If you are tired, give me some points and put them all on. You can go back early when you are done. , so you don’t have to suffer outside.”
“Hey, it’s so new. I’ve been selling popsicles for so many years, but this is the first time I’ve seen you like this. Okay, wait a minute, I’ll pretend it for you.” Seeing the cash, the old man had no reason not to believe it, so he hurriedly brought him a cloth bag to count.
This old man was very nimble with his hands and feet. In half a cigarette, he put the remaining half of the box of popsicles into a cloth bag. He handed the bag over with a smile and said: "A total of thirteen and six yuan. Mao Er, your ticket is too big and I can't change it. Do you have any change? If you don't have it, please show me how it works. Testify, I can go to your work tomorrow to get it."
"Yes, yes." Chu Heng didn't dare to let him go to the department store. He quickly took out his pocket and took out a stack of zero bills. He handed him three dollars and sixty-two cents, took back ten dollars at the same time, and finally ran out with a bag full of popsicles.
“I have to leave quickly, it will turn into ice water in a while, see you later!”
"Hey, I met a buyer today." The popsicle seller who got off work early happily took out a cigarette and lit a cigarette. He pushed it into the car and headed home. He was going to drink some to relieve his fatigue in the evening, and then he found the half-hidden guy in the south of the city. The door is loosened and the muscles and bones are loosened.
Chu Heng ran into the alley next to him not far away, threw most of the bag of popsicles into the warehouse, and then went to the department store. When he saw Guo Kai, the guy was selling goods.
It is worth mentioning that since getting married, this grandson’s temper has been much better than before. He is polite to everyone and has completely lost the attitude of the flat-headed brother he once had.
Well, this marriage is a school for men.
Chu Heng saw that Guo Kai was busy, so he didn't bother him. He strolled to the food department for a walk. When he came back, he had a bag of yellow beer in his hand. This stuff was extremely expensive, costing only 30 cents. He bought ten bottles of one bottle, which cost a total of three yuan. Most people really couldn't afford it.
At this time, Guo Kai's side was already very busy. The customers had already picked out their shoes and were issuing invoices and paying.
Seeing this, Chu Heng walked over with his bag in hand and said in respect: "Why are you still alive? Your wife hasn't given you medicine recently?"
"I'll go. Damn it! Your wife is throwing sticks out!"
Guo Kai retorted not to be outdone, and threw the written receipt and money ticket along the wire above his head to the cashier. He glanced at the jingling bag in Chu Heng's hand and asked curiously : "What did you buy?"
"I just bought the beer." Chu Heng carefully put the bag on the ground, then took out the letter of introduction and the food book from the bag and put them on the counter. He said with a smile: "Open your buttocks and see what this is. ”
Guo Kai took it over and took a look, and saw that it was an empty piece. Bai introduced the letter and the grain book of a man named Zhang Quan. He didn't understand what he was doing, and asked doubtfully: "What do you mean?"
"What the hell, just a stick." Chu Heng suddenly felt excited. Rolling his eyes, he pointed at two things and said, "This is for you. You can take the grain book." Just use it, don’t worry about anything else. You can fill in Ge Erni’s information in the letter of introduction later, and take it to the steel rolling mill to see Director Li tomorrow. Guo will arrange a job for her then.” After listening to it, my eyes widened and my breathing became rapid. I was in disbelief. Looking at the thing in his hand, he said excitedly: "You...you're not confused about me, are you?"
"What do you think?" Chu Heng looked at him funny: "I'm telling you, for this I have been tired of everything, how can I thank you?”
"This..." Guo Kai was so excited that he couldn't control himself. He looked at the food book and then the letter of introduction. After a while, he took Chu Heng and said, "I don't know how to thank you. Come to my place tonight and let me know." My wife must cook more dishes and drink well.”
“You. Come on, you don’t drink. Why should I eat with you? Besides, my wife is going to make me noodles with soy sauce today. It tastes like the separation of oil and sauce. Even if you make me delicacies, I won’t. Change!" Chu Heng broke away from his paw, picked up the beer and left.
After walking a few steps, he suddenly remembered the little housekeeper, and ran back quickly, telling Guo Kai: "Hey, if my wife asks about this beer, just say it's you. It’s a gift.”
Guo Kai, who is also married, immediately understood. He patted his chest hard and promised: "If you have something you can't hide from me in the future, just push it on me. I will take full responsibility for it!"
"Brother enough!"
Chu Heng suddenly felt solemn. This promise is as heavy as a mountain!
The little help I did for him was nothing compared to this matter!
