Landlord with umbrella but no knife

Walking around the streets and alleys, my nose seemed to have been dried by the scorching sun. I actually felt that this kind of chicken drumstick rice was delicious, and my hand holding the chopsticks trembled slightly.

It's not that I'm out of money and desperate, and I still have [-] pocket pockets...

But Old Xu looked forward to it, he himself...

"Why don't you have chicken legs? Only dried tofu?"

"I'm losing weight! Eat quickly, there is afternoon tea time at two or three o'clock, and the evening is the peak time, so we have to eat after get off work at that time... We will find a cool place to rest later, I will teach you how to do it Sleep on the battery."

His bean curd rice seems to only cost 4 yuan?Lao Xu’s is even a simplified version of dried bean curd rice. I have four slices of dried bean curd here, and he only has two slices. He still thinks he took advantage of it, so he asked the boss to scoop up the stewed soup for free. Mix it with rice, and put some old godmother in it, and he will eat like a rat.

"I'll buy you a chicken leg! Grass..."

"No need, I'm not polite to you!"

The chicken leg was unpalatable, it had completely lost the taste of the chicken leg itself, the dried tofu was mediocre, the rice was hard, and the vegetables were too soft and rotten.

In this state, what I eat is still not too delicious.

"Old Xu is too tired, I can't eat much."

"You just took two bites... What a waste, but, indeed, I was so tired that I lay on my stomach on the first day I made these, and I didn't want to eat anything. Now, I'm used to it, and I really can't eat it. gone?"

"Um…"

"Then I ate."

I wanted to say something else, don't you want to lose weight?

But seeing him eating with gusto, I knew it was time for me to shut up.

I really don't want to tease Lao Xu too much, he is desperately saving money, desperately trying to make money, I really cost him ten yuan at noon.

Soon, I was having diarrhea at a nearby public toilet, and although I didn't eat much, the food was a far cry from my usual over-the-top cuisine.

When I came back, Lao Xu had already parked my car and him under the shade of a tree by the bridge. He squinted his eyes and fell on the narrow steering wheel of the eDonkey.

"Xiaojiang, there is another side-lying method..." He smiled and demonstrated it to me. It is a very awkward sleeping method on the car body. I feel that I will slide down if I am not careful.

Old Xu made a funny demonstration, smiled optimistically, and soon fell asleep.

Of course I can’t sleep, I usually use silk and duck down, the mattresses are basically made to order tens of thousands, and there are warm and fragrant nephrite for naps.

Now even in the shade of the trees, as long as you are quiet, you can feel the summer temperature is constantly scorching, and it keeps letting you know how hard your work is.

Chapter 114 Breathless (1/)

I feel hard, but I don't hate this kind of life.

I think of Rose in the Titanic. The happiest time in her life was probably when she went to Jack's lower deck, and she was so passionate with those who had no chance to get in touch with at ordinary times.

But I think it's also because it was just a journey, and Rose hasn't seriously looked at the squalor of the bottom deck, and doesn't know how to really start making a living, the kind of hard work that weighs you down, and dances become your only pastime.

At four or five o'clock, the takeaway orders began to surge, and I was urged by the invisible hand to go to the beginning of the Chinese lanterns. Everyone else was going home, and the sun was gradually setting. I was still looking at the list desperately, whether it was delivered on time. Da.

When I met Lao Xu, he hurriedly handed me a cake.

We didn't speak more than a few words, "Stop your belly, there are still a few more ruthless ones!"

While waiting for the red light, Lao Xu roughly drank the water from the yellowed plastic water cup, wiped his mouth casually, and rushed into the night again.

I took a bite, and the pancake was still hot, with dried plums and only dried plums in it.

I can't even eat a bite. How can the dried prunes and vegetable pancakes compare to cheese crab meat pizza?Or a Roujiamo shop I passed by. The store looked exquisite, and it said, the signature Roujiamo, 15 yuan each.

This dried plum vegetable biscuit does not cost more than three yuan.

Now that there is meat, the price cannot be beat.

It's not that I don't have money, it's that I can't spare 5 minutes for dinner.

I haven't completely gotten used to this kind of hard work, and it's hard to have a smile on my face. Although I still maintain the last bit of calmness, I haven't slept at noon. From 9 o'clock to now, I haven't closed my eyes. I rest in the shade of the scorching sun, just to catch my breath .

There is no oil in my stomach. It is the first time that I feel the summer evening breeze so comfortable. At least the city at night is ebbing and cooling down. It is also the first time that the summer evening breeze is so hungry, tired, painful, and tormented.

Because I still have at least 20 orders to pick up.

After these 20 orders, there is the last wave.

Fortunately, the customers I met were reasonable, and no one complained to me. I delivered them on time. Fortunately, I didn't remember a face, and they were all in a hurry.

At 8:9, I finished the last order, and it was over at [-]:[-], and I had to drive the car for half an hour back to the site for handover.

"Yo! How was the first day?" Lao Xu's car drove over.

"It must be tired, but it's okay."

"Haha, it's okay to deliver food. I used to work part-time on the construction site before. It was really tiring. The simplest sorting of steel pipes doesn't require you to move bricks. Your shoulders will be tired and paralyzed after a day. , at least you won’t be tired for a week, and you haven’t gotten used to it yet, just get used to it.”

"Are you going back with me?"

"Well, I'll go back to the site and charge it up. The battery is almost dead. The site is still free. I'll go over to say hello and give me a cigarette. Lao Li doesn't care about my cigarettes. I've saved them all, haha, but There’s no way to just rest there, Xiao Jiang, you have a chance to make two cups of iced mung bean paste, I’ve had it twice, and it’s quite delicious.”

"Then you will continue to deliver at night?"

"Send it, haha, the price of nighttime delivery is still high, I can make more money with a single order, usually at two or three o'clock, in the past two years I can go up to four o'clock, just find a place to sleep, and then get up to deliver, Just go to the bathhouse every two days to take a shower and have a good sleep, now, I feel a little old~"

"Aren't you going home?"

"It's too late, I'm arguing when I go back. The child didn't take the college entrance examination before? She's at home during the summer vacation. I'm afraid she'll go crazy and go back and have a look."

"Is it so hard? What to eat? I'll take you there..."

"I've eaten."

"Just the cake?"

"Ang, the plum dried vegetable cakes taste pretty good. The boss knows me well. It costs 2 yuan a piece haha. I can't stand it at night. If I go to eat a bowl of noodles, I can't treat myself badly. The casserole costs 8 yuan. You can order it." This time, we made a lot of money by giving supper this time, and we can also have a barbecue together. I really can't afford the barbecue, so we can only share it equally."

"It's true that barbecue is very expensive now."

"However, you look gentle like you, and you don't feel tired even now. You are very strong. You probably leave after working for a month or two. I understand, the transition period, haha." Old Xu smiled. very happy.

I rode slowly back to the rest station with him. Lao Li greeted me with a smile while blowing on the air conditioner and playing with his mobile phone.

"Old Xu, you're here to charge the battery again, right? It's okay to charge, you squat outside and wait, don't go into the house."

"Okay." Old Xu dragged out the battery cable in a numb manner, held a cigarette at the door, and skillfully charged it.

I ordered two bottles of mung bean paste, Lao Li glanced at me, "Ahem, do you want it for Lao Xu?"

"how?"

"It's okay, it's just that it's not worth it..."

"A cup of mung bean paste is nothing worth it. Isn't there so much left in the refrigerator?" I took a look, and there were piles of mung bean smoothies that Lao Xu coveted.

"Yes...also." Lao Li smiled.

I took the smoothie and threw it to Lao Xu, he was smiling, very stupid.

"Haha, thank you Xiaojiang, you are really a good brother, and you are handing cigarettes and smoothies, shit, it's only been a day. The few I used to take with me for more than a month. When I left, I didn't say a word. Say... but it's okay, as long as you can help."

Lao Xu lowered his head, his sad mood quickly disappeared, he drank the smoothie in a few sips, tore open the packaging bag, and poured out all the mung beans inside.

"Grass, it's really delicious, let me tell you."

I'm not in any mood, I just drank and said I'm going home.

"Ang, you know the subway station, but it's a pity that it's charging, otherwise I'll take you for a ride."

"No need, I still don't know the way?"

"That's right, your old car is filthy to death, and what do you do if the brand-name clothes get dirty?" Lao Li also came out and scolded Lao Xu.

"That's right." Old Xu glanced at the old sneakers that were incompatible with his age, smiled, sat on the stone pier by the side of the road, and started to smoke deeply.

I am alone, my feet are sore, and the subway station is too far away. Of course, I don’t have a seat when I go home from here.

I used to like to be a spectator, watching the crowds in the subway station, it doesn’t matter if I stand, but this time, like a hungry wolf, I really want a resting position, I want to sit down until the end Station, unfortunately, no.

There was no room for me to squeeze, and I stood all the way for 40 minutes.

Muhuang's house is on the edge of the busiest city center.

I'm so hungry, my stomach is burning.

Of course Muhuang would not prepare dinner when she went back, the dining table was empty, and at 9 o'clock, she was probably exercising.

I went to take a shower and washed my clothes numbly.

"It's time for you to eat too?"

"No."

"Shall I help you with something?"

"No, I'm resting." I didn't have any strength, and I didn't want to talk. After washing, I looked at me in the mirror. Because I was too tired and had stubble, I fell on the bed, and Mu Huang was talking.

I have never been so tired all night before, and slept deeply. I don't know how long it took, but she wanted to come and hug me. I felt uncomfortable, turned over, and continued to sleep.

Chapter 115 Old Xu hurt his leg. (2/)

I slept until the next morning, and this woman still felt sorry for me. She bought me a hearty breakfast, soup dumplings, seafood rice noodles, and lobster noodles in the morning. Of course, this is not too much.

The food I ate was really delicious, and of course it wasn't her intention. The soup dumpling is still the taste I was familiar with yesterday, a basket of breakfast 88, with serious crab roe inside.

The lobster noodles are filled with free beef. Although it is a bit out of place, it still tastes good.

How could it be bad?How could a bowl of duck leg rice costing 3 yuan be worse than sesame seed cakes costing 10 yuan?

Of course, delicacies from mountains and seas can’t be more fragrant at this moment. It took me less than 10 minutes to finish eating the noodles and soup dumplings without stopping.

"In such a hurry to eat?"

"It's 9:40 soon, and it takes [-] minutes to get there by subway, including walking."

"If you think it's hard, don't go." Muhuang glanced at me, "It doesn't count as you admitting defeat."

"It's okay, I'm not used to it yet, just get used to it."

"My original intention was not to let you get used to this kind of life, I didn't want to make you work hard..."

"Don't be funny? You don't know the temperature yesterday and today? Or you don't know... It's okay to let me not go, just apologize, and say, Jiang Yue, dear husband, I'm sorry, I shouldn't let you deliver food , said, I will not go.

You threw me this face, I listen to you and respect you, understand.

Now only if you admit your mistake, I will stop. "

She opened her mouth, but still snorted lightly, "It's up to you."

"Isn't that enough? Just order me a takeaway in the morning. I won't be so tired today. I didn't adapt to the rhythm yesterday. Starting from noon today, I will eat well."

"Well... just ask me for reimbursement before meals and at the end of the month."

I wiped my mouth.

Put on your shoes and stand at the door, "Muhuang, come here, I have something to do."

She walked over subconsciously, "What's wrong?"

Then I hugged her again.

"Wife, it's him who is so tired. You really bothered me, but I really like you, understand, I really like you, and you are the only one who can make me so embarrassed." I said Hugging Muhuang tightly.

Her eyes melted for a moment.

But I quickly let go of her.

She herself gave me the opportunity to attack her.

Let me deliver food?

While she felt distressed, she still wanted to torture me. She was really stupid. Her methods were indeed tough, but I was able to find a loophole to resolve this kind of toughness.

"I'm going to work, hurry up and give me a kiss on the side of my face." I said it easily.

She kissed me seriously.

"Come back if you can't hold on."

"Just apologize."

"Then you just keep going."
