jade carver

Business got busy after the year, and Cheng Ye didn't stay with Li Rui for a few days, but was called by Lao Xia to help out at the jade shop.Hearing Xu Junjie's smug tone, it seemed that Lao Xia had good news.

When Cheng Ye was about to leave, he walked slowly, and looked back from time to time, so he could tell with a clear eye that he was reluctant to leave Li Rui.

Li Rui put his hat on his head, "Let's go, Uncle Xia will arrest him himself in a while."

"Brother Rui, are you busy..."

"The master chef who cooks will be back the day after tomorrow. There are enough people, so you can learn from you." Li Rui was delighted by Cheng Ye's few words, but he didn't show anything on his face, and he was still chasing him away . "You stay with Uncle Xia for a few more days. Doesn't he keep saying that you have less and less time to learn crafts? You can stay with him for a few more days, so you don't have to run back and forth."

Cheng Ye looked at Li Rui, and said "oh" for a while.

Li Rui took advantage of Xu Junjie's turn to go out, and kissed Cheng Ye on the cheek, "I'll pick you up in a few days."

Cheng Ye pulled off his hat to cover his face, but didn't see if his face was blushing, "Got it."

Li Rui's small restaurant opened on the side of the street, where there are many people, there is business.But in crowded places, unexpected things always happen.

In places like small streets and alleys, there have always been some local snake-like characters.Li Rui just arrived here, and he only paid some so-called protection fees and management fees like the small traders around him, so he didn't have any conflicts on weekdays.

This day, Li Rui was the same as usual. After finishing his morning work, he changed his clothes and prepared to go grocery shopping.The chef who was busy cooking in the kitchen had already returned from his annual leave. Li Rui greeted him, asked the chef to watch the shop, and then went out by bicycle.

During Li Rui's winter vacation, he only sold breakfast. The dishes he cooked were really not very attractive, and he didn't want Cheng Ye to be involved, so he never prepared materials for lunch and dinner.This time when the master came back, he bought a lot of vegetables and fish in one go. His small shop was doing well, so he might have to come back in the afternoon.

Li Rui wore a lot of things on his bicycle, the front frame was full, and he walked back heavily.After walking a few steps, he heard Didi's horn honking from behind. Li Rui glanced at it and hurriedly moved aside.

The place selling vegetables is on another street, which is next to a crossroad of a main road, and there are more vehicles passing by.It is inevitable that there will be traffic inconvenience in the old city, especially when encountering large transport trucks passing by.This time the big truck transporting the iron pipes was not familiar with the road, so it probably wanted to take a shortcut, so it got in.There are not many iron pipes in the car, but the iron pipes are of different lengths, and the big truck will inevitably hang and rub when turning a corner!

The road on this side is relatively narrow, and it can't withstand the turning and turning of large trucks. The side of the road is too fast to avoid rubbing against it, and even people and cars are tilted slowly.

The old lady behind Li Rui was dragged down, and she was dragged out with her bicycle. The old lady was so frightened that she couldn't make a sound!Wearing a down jacket in winter is already thick and bulky, plus gloves and scarves, it is impossible to break free if it gets caught.The people behind shouted to stop the truck, but the driver took a look in the rearview mirror and even stepped on the gas pedal!

Li Rui put the bicycle aside and rushed over to save people!

A part of the iron pipe was hooked, and a big hole was torn in the old lady's down jacket, and a lot of the down was exposed.Li Rui didn't care too much, so he tore the clothes in half and saved the man first.The old lady had already been dragged by the truck for a while, looking very embarrassed.Li Rui helped the old lady stand up, "Are you okay?"

The old man's down jacket was torn, but luckily he didn't get hurt if he wore it thickly in winter.She was still sober, pointing at the bicycle that had been dragged far away and still shouting, "Bag...bag...my bag!!"

Li Rui saw the bicycle hanging on the back of the truck. There was a hand-sewn coarse cloth bag tied to the handlebar, which was probably the bag the old lady was talking about.Seeing that the old man was pitiful, he pushed the bicycle and chased the truck that was slowly accelerating away.

The truck driver probably also saw the scene of the old man being injured in the rearview mirror. He felt guilty and turned ahead out of the urban area without stopping.

Li Rui took a shortcut from the alley to catch up. The driver also panicked, ignoring the unevenness of the road and hurriedly ran away.When the car bumped, several of the iron pipes on top fell off.There were still people picking it up on the side of the road, taking the opportunity to make some ill-gotten gains, and a few people partnered up to move one and ran away.

The old lady's bicycle was also knocked down. Li Rui went over to take a look and found that the front basket of the bicycle had been crushed, but the coarse cloth bag hanging on the handlebar was still there safely.Probably because it looked too inconspicuous, no one picked it up for a while.Li Rui rode his own bicycle, helped the old lady's back, and saw an old man in ragged clothes as soon as he arrived on the street - there were some vegetables and a bag of meat under her feet, presumably it was Li Rui's scattered on the ground just now , she packed it up.

"Auntie, your bag and car have been found for you." Li Rui handed the cloth bag to the old man intact, and helped her roughly repair the bicycle. "I can barely ride it. You have to find a master to show me later. My skills in repairing cars are not very good, hehe..."

The old lady breathed a sigh of relief holding the cloth bag in her hand, and thanked Li Rui again and again, "Young man, thank you, thank you!" She opened the coarse cloth bag in front of Li Rui. What is there is a bundle of money, which looks like five or six thousand.The old lady withdrew 200 yuan and gave it to Li Rui, "I want to withdraw money to treat my wife's illness. Alas, I didn't expect such a thing to happen on the road... You can take it, thank you, auntie!"

Seeing Li Rui's refusal to take it, she thought that Li Rui thought he was short of money and wanted to get it in the coarse cloth bag, but Li Rui stopped him. "Auntie, you are too polite. Anyone who encounters this has to help! Quickly collect the money, and I will take you to the hospital."

The old lady also knows the truth of not revealing her money. She is an old man, she had no choice but to hide it in a cloth bag and brought it out. She was thinking about how to take the money away safely. grateful.

The old man trusted Li Rui very much, and talked to him about the situation at home along the way, "My wife is lying in the hospital now, and the doctor said it's useless to procrastinate. Alive, how can I just watch him suffer and not give him medical treatment! The money has been spent a lot, and all this money has been invested, no matter how bad it is, I can only take it home and raise it..."

Listening to the old man's words, Li Rui suddenly thought of Aunt Fat for some reason.This city is very big and there are many people, but he has never seen many people like the fat aunt. Hearing the old lady's tone of worry while complaining, his heart softened a bit.

"Auntie, is there anyone else in your family? I think you have fallen too. Why don't you let your family stay with you for a day?"

The old lady waved her hand and said no, after a while, she sighed again, "It's just us old couple! We still have a son, but he doesn't know where he is..." The old man was a little sad, sighed and did not continue.

Li Rui didn't ask too much. Every family has scriptures that are difficult to recite.

The old lady entered the gate of the hospital, and waved Li Rui to hurry back to work, "Young man, you are really a good person, thanks to you today!"

Li Rui waved to the old man and rode away.He wasted a lot of time when he went out to buy some groceries, and he wondered if he could make it in time for lunch when he went back.And a lot of vegetables rolled on the ground just now, and if they were broken, they had to buy a new one... Li Rui was thinking about it, and he rode even faster.

There are many people in front of the small restaurant, and they look like a circle, they don't seem to come to eat.Li Rui's bicycle brake creaked before he stopped in time. He stopped the car and squeezed in with the vegetables, "Excuse me..." Before he could see the situation inside, he smelled a bloody smell.

The door of the small restaurant was kicked open, and the things inside were smashed to the ground in a mess, and the chef who was cooking was leaning on the chair beside him, panting, with obvious injuries on his head and arms.

"What's the matter?!" Li Rui threw the dishes in his hand aside, and didn't care about looking at the damage in the shop, so he went to see the master chef first. "How about it? Can you still move? Let's go to the hospital first."

The master's surname is Du, and he has a big beer belly. He usually likes to joke with everyone, but now he can't laugh anymore. He told Li Rui what happened with red eyes. "Boss, Huangmao and the others did it! We have already paid him half a year's protection fee, but they still come to ask for money! Huangmao said, no one else will accept it, only our family... I said When the boss came back, they started smashing the store..."

Li Rui gritted his teeth, still helped Master Du stand up and walked out slowly, "Go to the hospital first!" Huang Mao and those grandchildren, he will not spare any of them!

For the first time, the bistro was closed during the day.I'm afraid that even if the door is not closed, people will not dare to go in when they see the broken tables and rotten bottles in that room.

The people outside the door sighed for a while, and gradually dispersed.There are too many things about this kind of bullying, and everyone can only sigh a few times, and the others can't help much.

Li Rui arranged for Master Du to be hospitalized nearby, and after seeing his wound healed, he paid the hospitalization fee for a few more days so that he could recuperate.

After coming out of the hospital, Li Rui went back to the small restaurant. He took out a wooden stick behind the door, stuffed it into his clothes, and went out directly.He has fire in his heart, if he doesn't let it out, he will blow himself up!
