The Pentium Era - South to North

"Wait, wait." Zhang Chen stopped Xiao Zhao, "Now it's just Sister Guihua who has told you about this. You haven't met their leader yet, so you can't confirm this, right?"

"As long as you agree, Sister Guihua will be the leader of this hotel." Xiao Zhao and Zhang Chen said.

This time, it was beyond Zhang Chen's surprise, but when he thought about it, Zhang Chen felt it was reasonable. If it weren't for the leader, who would have celebrated the Chinese New Year? No one was willing to go to work, so he spent six consecutive days from the first to the sixth day There are evening shifts and early morning shifts every day. Only the leaders have no choice but to set an example.

Knowing that Sister Guihua is the leader of this hotel, Zhang Chen feels that the doubts he just had have gone away. It would be great if Xiao Zhao could work with Sister Guihua. Sister Guihua will definitely take good care of this foreign girl. This is better than It’s much better to go to a strange unit and be surrounded by strange people.

Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao said, "Okay, I agree."

"Didn't you agree before?" Xiao Zhao opened his eyes in surprise.

Zhang Chen smiled and said: "It was preliminary agreement before, now it is formal agreement."

"You're a scumbag."

Xiao Zhao made a face at Zhang Chen and prepared to go out. Zhang Chen quickly shouted: "Come back, come back, there is one more thing to discuss."

"Is there anything else? Why are you such a mother-in-law today?" Xiao Zhao came back, sat down on the bed again, looked at Zhang Chen and said, "Tell me, what's the matter?"

"If you work here, we can't live here. I can't keep taking advantage of your company. Over time, others will talk about you, which will also make it very difficult for Sister Guihua. Also, you work the night shift. You can sleep in the duty room during the day, but what about the morning shift and the middle shift? You can't sleep in the duty room every day? Others may not be willing to squeeze two people into one bed.

"Besides, we can't sneak around and fight guerrillas like this every day."

Zhang Chen added the last sentence, and Xiao Zhao hummed, stretched out his finger, and tapped his forehead: "After much thought, I still want to act like a gangster."

"That's right. I am playing gangster with my own woman. Can others control me?"

"Who is your woman?" Xiao Zhao said angrily.

"Hey, yesterday you were the first to say that I was your man."

"Yes, then are you my man?"

"Then are you my woman?"

"You speak first."

"You speak first."

"You are a man, you should speak first."

"You are a woman, you say it first."

"snort!"

Xiao Zhao puffed up her cheeks angrily and glared at Zhang Chen. Zhang Chen looked at her and said, "My eyes are wide with anger, my eyebrows are upturned, and my eyes are very beautiful."

Xiao Zhao burst out laughing, and the two hugged each other and kissed.

"Dear, I thought about it, and what you said still makes sense." Xiao Zhao snuggled into Zhang Chen's arms and said to him.

"Of course, my name is Li." Zhang Chen said, "We went to rent a house. On the eighth day of the lunar month, everyone started working in the office, so I went to find a job."

"Okay, then I'll go down and ask Sister Guihua where there is a house to rent." Xiao Zhao stood up.

"I'll go with you." Zhang Chen got out of bed and quickly put on his pants and clothes.

Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao went downstairs. Xiao Zhao told Sister Guihua their thoughts. Sister Guihua nodded and thought they were very considerate.

Zhang Chen asked Sister Guihua where there was a house to rent, and Sister Guihua said:

"There are residents all over the overpass. They don't even have enough room for themselves. In a place as big as a snail shell, there are five, six, seven or eight people living there. There will be no houses for rent here. After the overpass, only farmers like us will have houses." There is plenty of time, but the rent around Sijiqing is too expensive, a room costs 150 to 200, and it is rented by clothing owners in the market."

One hundred and fifty to two hundred? Those two people work, and one person's salary is not enough to pay the rent. Zhang Chen is very realistic now. He knows that Hangzhou is not a sea city. He cannot expect that he can find a salary of thousands or thousands in Hangzhou. Every month Getting two to three hundred is considered a high salary in Hangzhou.

"Are you afraid of living far away? When you get to Sanbao, seventy or eighty yuan a month is enough." Sister Guihua said.

"How long does it take to ride a bicycle from Sanbao to here?" Zhang Chen asked,

"Half an hour."

"That's not scary. I have a bicycle. I can take Xiao Zhao to work every day."

"Do you have a bicycle?" Sister Guihua asked curiously, "Where is your car?"

"Park outside."

Sister Guihua stood up and walked to the door of the duty room to take a look. She didn't see the car in the corridor. Xiao Zhao said, "Sister, it's outside the door."

"Didn't you carry it in?" Sister Guihua said, "There are a lot of bicycle thieves around here."

"It's okay, Sister Guihua, I locked it on the telephone pole and can't steal it." Zhang Chen said.

"What's the use? Go and see."

Sister Guihua said and walked out of the door. Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao quickly followed. The three of them went outside the door and reached the parking spot on the left where Zhang Chen parked. Zhang Chen was dumbfounded when he saw it and couldn't help but curse. One sentence: "Mom!"

Xiao Zhao and Sister Guihua laughed so hard that they squatted down and almost burst into tears.

They saw that Zhang Chen's bicycle was still locked on the telephone pole, but only a tripod locked with a chain was left. The front and rear tires, seat and faucet had all been removed with an adjustable wrench and stolen. When I took a closer look, even the chain of the bicycle was gone.

Zhang Chen opened the chain lock, carried the tripod, and the three of them walked back. Xiao Zhao teased Zhang Chen: "It's okay, it's okay, the most valuable parts haven't been stolen yet."

"I admire that noodle shop owner now." Zhang Chen said.

"What do you admire about him?" Xiao Zhao asked curiously.

"It's like a prophet. His words came true. He said this morning that this was scrap metal. Look, it's not true now?"

Xiao Zhao smiled so much that his whole body was attached to Sister Guihua.

"No need for a lock now."

After entering the gate, Zhang Chen threw the tripod beside the gate, holding a chain lock in his hand, and said angrily while walking, Xiao Zhao laughed again.

The three of them returned to the duty room and sat down. Zhang Chen asked Sister Guihua if anyone was open at the market selling used bicycles.

"No need to buy it." Sister Guihua and Zhang Chen said, "I still have an old bicycle at home. You can take it and ride it. In this way, after get off work tomorrow, I will take you to Sanbao to find a house first. I have relatives there. The house After you find it, stay here, Xiao Zhao, and you can officially come to work the day after tomorrow."

…

The next day, Zhang Chen and Xiao Zhao did not go out. They helped Sister Guihua work at the "Red Flag Hotel" and waited for Sister Guihua to get off work before going to Sanbao together.

Sister Guihua’s mother-in-law brought them breakfast and lunch. When they were about to go back at noon, Sister Guihua told her mother-in-law, Mom, let Hagen pick me up later and ask him to take the old bicycle at home. bring it here.

Hagen is Sister Guihua’s husband.

Soon, Hagen arrived, a very strong man. He was riding a bicycle holding the handlebar with one hand, and holding the spigot of another bicycle with the other hand. The two bicycles were side by side. I rode here at home.

After Xiulian arrived, the four of them, Haigen took Sister Guihua, Zhang Chen took Xiao Zhao, and two bicycles, went directly to Sanbao.

They arrived at Sanbao and found Hagen's cousin's house. The cousin's family was very happy to see Guihua. The cousin's sister-in-law came over with a loud shout and hugged Guihua. Guihua told them about Zhang Chen When they wanted to rent a house, she said that Xiao Zhao was a colleague in their work unit, so she brought them over.

There happened to be a vacant room on the second floor of her cousin's house. Without waiting for her cousin to tell her the price, Guihua said directly, "It's settled. Sixty yuan a month." After saying that, she looked at her cousin sister-in-law and said, My sister-in-law quickly smiled and said:

"You have already spoken, what else can I say?"

It can be seen that Sister Guihua has a high prestige in the eyes of her cousin's family, and Zhang Chen is more relaxed.

My cousin and sister-in-law took them upstairs and looked at the room. It turned out that they were storing things that were not used at home. My cousin and sister-in-law said that they could just move these things to the woodshed below later.

"Are there any tables and stools?" Sister Guihua asked.

My cousin said yes.

"Move them here." Sister Guihua said, "Is there a bed?"

The cousin-in-law shook her head.

Sister Guihua stretched her head to look down at the yard. She saw the tricycle parked in the yard. She said to Hagen: "Go home now and bring over the old sleeping bed at home."

Hagen nodded, walked downstairs, held the handlebar of the tricycle with both hands, and shouted: "Xiao Feng, go and help me."

A boy of fourteen or fifteen years old ran out from the house on the first floor and jumped on a tricycle. Hagen rode the tricycle out.

"Will the agency store on the street be open?" Sister Guihua asked.

"At this point, it should still be open," my cousin said.

"Xiao Zhao, ask my sister-in-law to take you to the consignment store to see what daily necessities you need. Buy some first." Sister Guihua said to Xiao Zhao, and both Xiao Zhao and cousin sister-in-law agreed.

Sister Guihua turned around and said to Zhang Chen: "You take me back to the hotel by bike and borrow a mattress quilt and two quilts from the work. You can use them first. After the first month, you can buy new ones by yourself." These are returned to the unit.”
