Chapter 44: Hook and seal for one hundred years
Time flies by.
It’s the eighth day of the Lunar New Year in a blink of an eye.
According to local custom, on the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, some shops are ready to open for business.
Ms. Wang, who believes in getting rich through hard work, is no exception.
When a store reopens, it needs to be opened with a bang to signal that business is booming in the new year, and then a good cleaning.
On this day, Zhou Yutang was also arrested and came to the clothing store to help.
After the crackling firecrackers were set off to open the door, and the smoke had not yet dissipated, Zhou Yutang, under the supervision of Ms. Wang, took a broom to clean the door of the store.
What about Nortel’s once-in-a-decade school idol?
What happened to the hottest newcomer in the entertainment industry?
In front of Ms. Wang, a tiger has to lie down, and a dragon has to be coiled up.
Zhou Yutang swept the floor lazily, but in his heart he was wondering whether he should buy a bigger store for his mother this year, and then ask a few girls to help run errands.
With the popularity of TV series, the outfits of the male and female protagonists in the series have also become popular.
He quickly searched for the same style of clothing on the Internet. Zhou Yutang asked Sister Shuang's temporary assistant to post on the Internet every day to attract traffic, and the sales volume of the online store suddenly increased.
Ms. Wang was previously worried that she would not be able to sell the goods. However, within a few days, the inventory was almost empty. Zhou Yutang ordered a second batch of goods from the clothing factory.
Ms. Wang was a little dumbfounded.
So this kind of business can still be done?
According to this development trend, Ms. Wang’s quasi-retirement enjoyment plan can almost be put on the agenda.
With his mind set, Zhou Yutang inadvertently glanced up.
At a glance, I saw the little figure with a ponytail under the locust tree on the corner.
Before he could be surprised, the little koi waved at him, grinned, and then trotted over happily.
Today, Yang Chaoyue is wearing a red cotton suit, brand new sneakers, and swaying with a smart ponytail. She still looks so cute.
When the sound sounded like an oriole coming out of the valley, Zhou Yutang didn’t think so:
“Uncle!”
“.”
Listening to this long-lost uncle, Zhou Yutang's face darkened, he threw the broom aside, and ruffled the little koi's hair in retaliation: "Call me brother."
"Oh, brother."
The little koi raised its head and laughed happily.
“Why are you here?”
“Primary school students are on winter vacation during the Spring Festival.”
Yang Chaoyue rolled her eyes covertly and shook her head.
"Primary school students are not at home watching cartoons and doing homework during the winter vacation. Why are they running around on the street? Where are your adults?"
Zhou Yutang was still worried about the little girl's name just now. Speak with a straight face.
"Brother, my parents have already gone to work."
Yang Chaoyue stuck out her tongue, and secretly looked at Zhou Yutang's expression with her big black eyes.
Sure enough, the ice and snow on his face melted instantly, and the little koi snickered.
Zhou Yutang knelt down and said in a gentle voice: "Then you are not playing with your friends at home?"
"You said, if I want to find you, just come here, and I will come here. Yes, I originally wanted to tell you on QQ first, but I don’t have a computer at home, and I can’t go to an Internet cafe.”
Yang Chaoyue poked Zhou Yutang with her white and tender fingers, her body straightened up, and she only had the other words. With his little hands behind his back, he tilted his little head and asked happily:
"Brother, what do you think of my new clothes? Do they look good?"
"That's so pretty. You are worthy of being the beauty of the class. When you grow up, you will be a real village flower."
"Village flower?"
The little koi blinked. With his big eyes, he understood the meaning of the word and said happily: "This is good, I will be the village beauty of our village from now on!"
Zhou Yutang stretched out his hand to tidy up her clothes and patted her Looking over his shoulder, he said seriously: "Even if you are the beauty of the village, you can't be proud. Looking around, who is not the school girl who is graceful and graceful?"
"Hahaha, that makes sense!"
< br>
Yang Chaoyue knew that Zhou Yutang was talking about herself.
The voice was smiling, and the tone was obviously gentle but not very serious, making her squat on the ground with laughter and unable to straighten her back.
"Be careful to keep a low profile."
"Yeah, keep a low profile."
Yang Chaoyue nodded and high-fived Zhou Yutang, who was squatting down, still laughing. .
"Zhou Yutang, I asked you to do something. Either your hands are sore or your feet are sore. You can even be lazy by sweeping the floor."
Ms. Wang rolled up her sleeves and walked out of Fengtang Clothing Store and saw Zhou Yutang's hand. Throwing the broom aside, he suddenly became angry and started fighting mode.
"Um, hello, auntie."
Although Yang Chaoyue is lively and cheerful in front of Zhou Yutang, she is still a bit reluctant to face strangers, especially Ms. Wang who has a murderous voice. .
Her small body shrank behind Zhou Yutang and said hello honestly.
"Whose child is this?"
Ms. Wang was also a little stunned.
She thought Zhou Yutang was hooking up with some girl, but when she took a closer look, she saw that it was a cute little girl.
I glanced at her and went through it in my mind to make sure that this was not a girl from the family next door. She looked pretty and attractive.
"Auntie, don't be angry, I will help my brother clean up."
Yang Chaoyue said timidly, picked up the broom directly, and started to move quickly.
Zhou Yutang went over and explained the situation to Ms. Wang.
“This child is really sensible.”
Ms. Wang suddenly felt enlightened, and her eyes instantly softened.
She was quite appreciative of her son's positive behavior of helping the disadvantaged groups in his hometown.
"Mom, this is the situation. Your son is famous for his honesty. He has received perfect marks in ideological and moral classes since elementary school."
Zhou Yutang watched with his hands in his pockets, but Ms. Wang did not He glared at Zhou Yutang angrily: "Did you abduct this little girl today?"
"I really don't have any conscience."
"Um, aunt, I'm here to see you. Brother Yu Tang's."
Yang Chaoyue came up with a broom and explained: "Thank you to Brother Yu Tang for letting me go to the set last time. The restaurant is open today and I want to treat him to a meal."
Oh, what a good boy.
Ms. Wang briefly learned about Yang Chaoyue's family situation from Zhou Yutang.
She herself has been in business for many years, and she still has a good eye for people.
This little Yang Chaoyue's clothes are not of any big brand. She is obviously not a child of a wealthy family. And seeing how neatly the little girl works, she probably does a lot of work at home.
Who wouldn’t appreciate a girl who is sensible, filial, and obedient?
Looking at her son standing next to her, Ms. Wang was furious and said with a cold stare: "You have no hands or feet? Can you let a little girl help you clean?"
Zhou Yutang: " .”
He suspected that he had received it from Ms. Wang by recharging her phone credit.
Looking at Ms. Wang ushering Yang Chaoyue into the store, she brought out various snacks to treat her. If her own clothing store didn't have children's clothing, Gaolu would have matched Yang Chaoyue's clothes.
Xiao Yang Chaoyue was a little flattered and didn't know where to put her hands.
But when she reacted, her little mouth was really sweet. She thanked her aunt one by one. With her cute little face, she even offered to help Ms. Wang with some cleaning work.
After working for a while, Ms. Wang was too embarrassed to use child labor anymore. In addition, there were customers coming to the store and she wanted to watch them, so she asked Zhou Yutang to take Xiao Yang Chaoyue to eat.
"Hey, brother, I'm doing okay."
Little Yang Chaoyue had a little pride on her face, as if she had just done something great, and raised her chin slightly: "Auntie They say I’m very capable.”
“Just average, I have a bit of the same demeanor as when I was young.”
Zhou Yutang asked with a smile: "You came to me today and you really want to treat me to something to eat?"
"Of course, I will keep my word and treat you to something delicious."
Xiao Yang Chaoyue held her chest high, her head held high, her hands on her hips, looking like a village girl who was invincible in the world.
“Are you rich?”
“I am rich!”
Yang Chaoyue's raised little face was full of pride: "I brought 100 yuan. I'll treat you to whatever you want to eat." "Where did you get so much money? You didn't steal it from your mother's wallet, did you? ?”
Zhou Yutang looked at Yang Chaoyue with suspicion.
He himself had done this before, stealing 50 yuan from Ms. Wang to buy Ultraman. However, he did not turn into light and was severely beaten by Ms. Wang when he returned home.
Elementary school students these days are happy to have fifty cents in their pockets. 100 yuan is really a huge sum of money for primary school students.
"This is my own money."
Yang Chaoyue rolled her eyes at Zhou Yutang angrily.
She would not tell Zhou Yutang that this was the result of her hard work saving pocket money for several months.
Looking at her proud little face, it seems to be saying come and praise me.
Zhou Yutang was also happy and thought: "Okay, let's have an egg pancake first, add meat and sausage."
"Okay."
Yang Chaoyue nodded her ponytail.
“Another plum blossom cake. I haven’t eaten it for a long time. I miss it a bit.”
“That’s okay.”
“I’ll have fish soup noodles for lunch. Do you remember the last time? Which one to eat at? ”
"Hmm, definitely add chicken legs and meatballs, it's so delicious."
"Come on, why are you standing there?"
Zhou Yutang came out pushing a bicycle.
Yancheng is not a big place, so he likes to feel the local customs while riding a bicycle.
Yang Chaoyue sat obediently in the back seat, holding Zhou Yutang's waist and putting her little hands in her pockets.
"Wait a minute!"
"What's wrong?"
Zhou Yutang stopped and turned around to see that Yang Chaoyue's little face was pale, and he was helplessly licking his body several times. Searching back and forth.
“It’s gone, my money is gone.”
“I obviously brought it with me, but it was still there when I came out”
After rummaging through his pockets, he still couldn't find the 100 yuan. Yang Chaoyue felt like he was falling into an ice cave, as if he couldn't bear such a blow. His small body swayed, and his big eyes lost their luster.
Thinking of the sadness, I flattened my mouth, frowned, and burst into tears.
“Don’t cry, you are so old, why are you still crying?”
At this time, Zhou Yutang, one of two adults, was coaxing the little koi, and the more he comforted the girl, the more she cried. She was getting more and more happy and ran into his arms, crying so hard that she burst into tears.
In her world, about one hundred yuan is already a lot of money. She has saved it for a long time, so she is really distressed and distressed.
"You must have been a little crybaby before."
Zhou Yutang felt a headache, but had no choice but to do so. He was really not good at communicating with the little girl, so he could only pat the little koi's thin back and comfort him.
"Who said that!"
Unexpectedly, Yang Chaoyue was like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, with big red eyes staring and her nose still twitching.
“Don’t cry.”
Zhou Yutang had no choice but to put on a serious face: "If you keep doing this, I won't let you play with you anymore."
Hearing this, the crying stopped suddenly.
Yang Chaoyue looked at Zhou Yutang with her big, watery eyes open and her mouth pursed.
“Look for it first, maybe it’s still there.”
Zhou Yutang went into his store and took a closer look, and asked Ms. Wang again, but he couldn’t see it.
Let’s review again.
The activity area of the little koi seems to be around here, and it has not gone anywhere else.
The streets are also very clean, probably not.
That is, this girl was lost on the road when she came here.
Zhou Yutang probably knew this, but a bright smile appeared on his face.
"Close your eyes and I'll do a trick for you."
Looking at this juicy little cabbage covering her eyes with her hands, Zhou Yutang quietly stuffed a hundred-dollar bill into her pocket at lightning speed. .
"Open your eyes and see if the money is still there."
"Huh?"
The little koi touched the pocket and froze in shock with a complicated expression. .
What's going on?
Why did the money fly into her pocket?
“Let’s go, let’s go eat.”
“Um, brother, your clothes are dirty.”
Looking at Zhou Yutang again, he just had snot and tears all over his body. When it rubbed against his turtleneck sweater, Xiao Yang Chaoyue laughed, but felt embarrassed and wanted to wipe it with her hands.
It wasn't too cold today, so Zhou Yutang simply took off his sweater, wearing only a white shirt and a coat.
We set off on a bicycle and took the little koi to visit Quanmin Park and Lotte Mart Plaza.
In the afternoon, we ate at the snack bar. There was not much delicious food in Yancheng.
Happy time is always short.
Looking up, it’s amber dusk again.
Zhou Yutang was afraid that the adults in her family would be worried, so he took her home first by bicycle.
Sitting on the back seat of the bicycle, the little koi's face was tilted up and his head was raised. His big eyes were staring at Zhou Yutang's tall back without blinking, and he was smiling silly.
Smiling, with a hint of worry on his face, the worried little Koi didn't even respond to when he got home.
"What are you thinking about."
Zhou Yutang stretched out his hand and waved it in front of her eyes, suspecting that the girl was asleep.
"Nothing."
Yang Chaoyue raised her face and showed a bright smile: "Brother, when I get rich in the future, I will definitely treat you to delicious food and drinks."
"Not today. Have you eaten for me?”
“It doesn’t count today.”
Yang Chaoyue stretched out her white little finger and hooked it: “Come and seal it.”
"Okay, the hook and seal are not allowed to change for a hundred years."
Zhou Yutang, who had finished accompanying the little girl, turned around and rode away coolly, waving his hands.
Standing at the door and watching Zhou Yutang's back go away, Yang Chaoyue touched the notebook with the koi fish drawn in his arms until he could no longer see it.
Uncle, uncle.
You said you can do tricks and deceive elementary school students.
My one hundred yuan is ten pieces of ten yuan.
It’s not a one hundred yuan ticket!
The pocket money of primary school students is only one yuan a day, and it is very difficult to save it day by day.
Little Koi was afraid that he would not be able to resist the temptation, so every time he saved ten yuan, he would go to the small shop and exchange it for a whole ten yuan note, and then save it.
Saving and saving, after several months of saving, plus a small amount of lucky money, I finally saved up to 100 yuan.
Well, I think it’s barely enough to treat the uncle to dinner.
But in the end, he still lost it, and Yang Chaoyue felt that he was stupid.
She began to think about a very serious problem.
How can I still be a village beauty if I am so stupid?
Writing fell asleep
