The Garden Life of a Little Gardener

At the airport in Phoenix City, after getting off the plane, Chef Zhou Quan and Chef Bao’s first reaction was to find a place that was out of the way, open the suitcase and find out the down jacket that was specially brought over, and put it on in twos and twos.

Compared with Suzhou, which still maintains more than ten degrees above zero, Phoenix, where the daytime temperature is also below zero, is not so gentle.

After changing clothes, the two people dragged their luggage out of the terminal, and asked several taxis they met, but none of them wanted to run out of the city now.

They were too lazy to turn on their mobile phones to click on the APP. Anyway, there is a bus stop a few hundred meters away from the terminal building. The bus they are going to go to Liangxing Village happens to have a stop here.

This is a good point for a hub-type transportation city. The infrastructure was built relatively early. The railway station, bus station, and airport are all on the same line, so it is convenient to go anywhere.

After getting on the bus and paying the fare, the two of them dragged their luggage to choose what to do. This time they did not meet Chen Wenli, which is normal. After all, there are more than a dozen drivers on this route, but luckily, this driver drove them. I also know each other.

This is the case in small cities, where people born and bred are easy to run into acquaintances wherever they go.

The driver was their classmate in middle school. Although they were in different classes, they were in the same grade. In each grade of their junior high school, there was only the class of the third brother, and they were all on the same floor. Everyone in the grade was basically familiar.

"Huh, brother Yan? Xiaoquan? Is it really you?"

"Hey, isn't this Skinny Monkey? I've heard that you are also driving a bus, but I haven't heard that you run on the same line as Brother Wen Li?"

"I just transferred here. I just started working the day before yesterday. I guess Chen Wenli hasn't had time to tell you guys yet. Judging by the look of your bags, are you going on a trip?"

"No, I went to Suizhou to do business and went out for a few days before returning."

. . . . . .

When I met my old classmates, I inevitably chatted a few words. After the car drove out of the urban area steadily, Zhou Quan fiddled with his seat.

He was lazy just now, thinking that he would take the bus when he came out of the terminal anyway, so he didn't change his cotton shoes. Now that he's been on the bus for more than ten minutes, his shoes have been blown through by the cool wind, and his feet are freezing cold.

Chef Bao, who was sitting next to him and playing with his mobile phone, noticed Zhouquan's movements, and quietly hooked Zhouquan's legs from under the stool to his side, clamped his feet with his legs, and asked him to keep warm with his own body temperature.

Feeling that this was not enough, Chef Bao put away his mobile phone and carried his luggage over and asked, "Find the cotton shoes for you?"

"No need, I'm not cold right now, I'll be home in a while so don't bother." Who wants to change shoes in public?

The car passed by one stop after another, and the people on the bus went up and down. After the bus left the urban area, the destinations of those who remained on the bus were basically the dozens of villages in the western suburbs.

People here have lived here for generations, and the children of the same age in the family are basically alumni, so it is normal to meet acquaintances.

So along the way, both Chef Bao and Zhouquan got up and said hello several times. Uncles, uncles and aunts, I don’t know, I thought that the people in the car were all family members.

There are more acquaintances, talking and laughing, and the distance is over. When passing the town, the bus has just stopped at the stop, and the door has not been opened. The people sitting in the bus can hear the noise and fights at the store not far away. The sound came.

The lively people came to the window to take a look. There were many people surrounded by the third floor and the third floor outside the west end of the shop. Noisy, fighting and even the sound of smashing things came from there.

The driver, Shouhou, was also a spectator. After opening the car door to allow passengers to get on and off, he lowered the window and stuck his head out, looking excited to watch.

Zhou Quan and Chef Bao's current positions are just on the side of the storefront. Compared with the front of the car, their parking spaces are even closer to the incident, so they can see more clearly.

Zhouquan was sitting on the inside, and he clearly saw that the place where the quarrel happened and was surrounded by people seemed to be the stall that Brother Baoyan and his white-eyed father rented to run the breakfast shop.

It wouldn't be that guy Zhao Ergun who fought with someone, right?Listening to the yelling and beating inside, it seems that the situation is quite serious?

Zhou Quan, who wanted to see clearly, leaned on the window of the car to look carefully, but there were too many people watching over there, and the gaps were tightly blocked by layers of onlookers, and Zhou Quan, who was sitting in the car, couldn't see the crowd clearly The specific situation inside.

After opening the car window, he heard a woman in the crowd yelling loudly: "It's a robbery in broad daylight, my lord! The store is smashed! The money is stolen! Is there any law, and is there anyone in charge?"

As soon as she finished yelling, someone yelled: "Nonsense, it's your man who came here to pull things because the child didn't pay back the money he owed."

"I don't know. That's your business. You can go to them and talk to them. Why do you take things from my store?"

"You man, the child owes money and ran away, who else can he find if he doesn't look for you?"

"Damn it, let people live? Those who put up gambling debts still have the face to ask for money. I will pay you back."

As soon as this sentence was finished, there was an exclamation from the crowd of onlookers.

Fearing that something might happen, the skinny monkey who was driving the bus immediately closed the door, poked his head out of the bus and shouted, "We're about to drive, is there anyone on the bus?"

Everyone in the crowd paid attention to him, and the thin monkey glanced at the storefront. Worried about the time, he finally started to drive away.

Zhou Quan had been paying attention to the crowd all the time, because he only heard booing and did not hear anyone yelling for blood, so he knew that the matter should still be at the stage where the two sides were tearing each other apart.

This level of physical conflict can't cause any major problems, at most it's just a few pieces of clothing being torn and a few bruises on the body.

This level of 'fighting' wouldn't even have someone to help call the police, not to mention that the other side had already said that they were here to pay the bills, so no one would meddle in such a situation.

After the car drove away, Zhou Quan looked at Chef Bao who was beside him. There was so much noise there just now, he couldn't believe that Brother Bao Yan didn't hear it.

What happened was that Zhou Zhou could see everything in that storefront, but Chef Bao, who was much taller than him, couldn't believe it.

He was afraid that brother Baozhen would be in a bad mood when he saw people from that family again.

Fortunately, Chef Bao looked as usual, and there was nothing unusual, so Zhou Quan was relieved when he saw this.

After the car drove away, the spectators in the car gradually returned to their seats, and Zhou Quan heard the two aunts sitting behind him say so.

"Ha, there's another mess at the old Zhao's house. Zhao Ergun and his son owed several gambling debts. I heard that they fled overnight to hide their debts."

"Really? How do you know?"

"Of course it's true. Didn't you see that all the debtors are blocking the entrance of their breakfast shop? My daughter and son-in-law sell cooked food next to their breakfast shop. Those debtors have been withdrawn several times. Every time it was loud and loud and splashed with paint."

"My mother, how dare you go out to gamble after living like their family? What's going on in your head?"

"Who knows what they are thinking, anyway, as long as I see their family being unlucky, I will be happy."

"Aunt Li, I don't remember you being the kind of person who gloated at other people's misfortune."

"I don't take pleasure in others' misfortune, but Zhao Ergun's family has a problem with character. You said that my daughter and son-in-law cook cooked food every morning and night, just to earn some hard money. Who can make money easily these days? But that family Seeing that my girl’s business is good, I intentionally spoke bad things about them outside, saying that my girl added Sudan red to the pot? My girl and aunt didn’t even know what that thing was made of, but luckily they found out later and gave them justice. Otherwise, the business would not be possible.”

"What, there is such a thing?"

"That's right, you said it's hateful or hateful? Isn't it just that the two shops are close to each other, and they quarreled a few times because of the issue of supporting the stall outside. As for ruining other people's reputation outside like this?"

Hearing this, Zhou Quan glanced sideways at Chef Bao, he believed that he could hear him and he could.

But the other party is still as unmoved as a mountain. It seems that the family can no longer arouse Brother Baoyan's emotions. Knowing this, Zhou Quan silently breathed a sigh of relief.
