Chapter 1046

He can only move the electric three wheels faster and buy more time for his countdown.

At noon in the University Town, there were few pedestrians on the street, so that Gu Zheng's tricycle, which was not small, could drive smoothly back to the narrow alley belonging to the water station.

Hearing the sudden sound of three jumps, the landlady of the water station poked her head out in surprise. She wanted to see how this old Gu, who only knows how to carry water, was so efficient today. He only went out for more than half an hour, and it was all delivered?

But who would have thought that when she looked at the back of the parked tricycle, her face, which was not short, drooped down, and her dissatisfaction was something she didn't want to say.

"I said Lao Gu, you're wrong. Our orders have been coming for a long time. You sent less than half of them. Why did you drive the car back!"

The landlady mumbled and planned to nag again. When she tried to let the silent plumber know his mistake, she just thought why it was so quiet around here?

When she subconsciously looked up, she was frightened by Gu Zheng's distorted expression on his face.

This is not the boss's wife's carelessness, but Gu Zheng's expression is too terrible.

It was a mixture of pain, anger, anxiety and almost collapse. It was like a hungry ghost climbing out of hell, which made people tremble.

An honest man has to go through so many difficulties to show such an expression. At this glance, the frightened landlady shouted at the house of Xiaoshui station.

"Lao he! Lao he! He Mozi! Come out!"

"Hey, hey, come on, what's the matter with your daughter-in-law? What's the matter?"

The store manager, who was still carrying empty barrels inside, ran out in this sad cry.

The door then saw the painful, breathless face of Gu Zheng.

"Oh, my God! Daughter-in-law! Daughter-in-law! What's going on!"

The father and mother shouted together.

The noisy let Gu Zheng continue his performance, but there was a setback defect.

When the two people finished shouting together, they remembered that they trembled and asked Gu Zheng, "Lao Gu, what's the matter with you?"

"What's the matter? You're not feeling well? Why don't you take a day off today?"

Gu Zheng shook his head slowly and said his first decision in a low tone: "no, boss, there is something urgent in my family. I want to resign."

"Can you help me settle this month's salary?"

With these words, Gu Zheng squatted down on the ground, put a pair of big hands in his hair, and grabbed them like crazy.

The couple, who originally wanted to say no, said that his sudden resignation was too irregular and the normal operation of the water supply station had brought great trouble, couldn't say a word.

Because according to Gu Zheng's state, let alone finish the rest of the month, the irritable state seems that if their husband and wife dare to say no, he can set the small shop on fire tonight.

This made the store manager and his wife frightened, and they wanted to send away the dangerous elements who had reached the edge of the explosion.

Therefore, the decisive landlady wiped her wet hands with her waist apron. Because she had not had time to dry her hands before cooking, she kept walking to the inner room of the shop.

While walking, he comforted Gu Zheng squatting at the door of the store, trying to make him walk away in advance during the period of salary settlement.

"I said, Lao Gu, no matter how urgent things are, we should take our time. You still have so much luggage in the store. You can pack it up while I calculate your salary."

"How time-saving it is, don't you think, Gu?"

The landlady said so, but the one running under her feet was fast. After a while, she rushed to the back of the only table in the store, opened the middle drawer and took out the handwritten payroll.

At the bottom of a row of handwritten numbers, it was counted with a calculator.

Gu Zheng has been working for 25 days this month.

This extremely hot weather has also brought good business to the water station.

He has set a career high with a terrible delivery volume of 100 barrels a day.

Unfortunately, this kind of day will end here.

Gu Zheng's pleasant cooperation with them will be lifted from today.

Thinking of this, the landlady's hand is a little faster.

Thanks to the help of such a down-to-earth and willing old Gu, their water station can develop into its current scale.

Although Lao Gu didn't say a word more, just looking at this appearance, I'm afraid something terrible happened to his family.

When Lao Gu once chatted in the store, he said that his hometown was only left behind with an old mother who was not young

I'm afraid it's her old man

Thinking of this, the landlady paused by pressing the hand of the counter. After seeing the calculated value, she secretly pressed a reset key and silently changed the 7 at the beginning of the total to 8.

Then he shouted in the direction of Gu Zheng, who was packing things on the marching bed in the house.

"Lao Gu, the money is good. Originally, if you can't work for a full month, you can't pay a full base salary."

"But it's not easy to think that we've worked together for so long."

"I won't tell you about the hundreds of dollars."

"But I can't give you the remaining 75 yuan!"

"When you're finished cleaning up, come to the small table. If it's right, sign on the payroll."

"I'll return the deposit for the bucket to you."

The shrewd landlady has to count the number of buckets every time she delivers water. Gu Zheng has a long-term deposit of 200 here.

As for Gu Zheng, who stuffed the last piece of luggage into the snake skin pocket in the house, he hung up his sad face again. With a bitter smile, he turned back and said, "Hey, it's coming!"

Then he carried the huge sack on his shoulder, looked around the place where he had lived, turned away without a trace of nostalgia, and went straight to the direction of the small table.

There lay a crumpled payroll quietly, on which a final data was recorded with a signing pen.

eight thousand three hundred and seventy-five

This is Gu Zheng's salary this month.

As soon as Gu Zheng saw this value, he was stunned subconsciously. Then he showed a slightly simple and honest smile on his face and asked in the direction of the landlady: "why, why are there so many this month?"

The boss's wife, who was stunned when asked, didn't expect Gu Zheng to react like this. She subconsciously asked, "what's the matter? You'll naturally take as much as you do this month. Take as much as you count. I can still take advantage of your few dollars?"

Don't mention how weak the sound is.

But seeing Gu Zheng here is a warm heart. This woman who has to break even two yuan with him for a long time on weekdays. If there is an extra scratch on the electric bicycle, she will nag for half an hour. At this moment, she shows the kind and soft side of her heart.

Gu Zheng, who was used to the indifference of the city, couldn't help picking on the corners of his mouth.

But he Mozi, who stands behind the boss's wife, doesn't know the edge.

He just felt that his daughter-in-law seemed to have gone too far today.

Nowadays, it is not easy for workers to come out to make a living. Why bother to use cold words to deal with this old Gu who is about to leave.

Thinking that he Mozi here didn't know where his courage came from, when the voice of the landlady said, "take the money quickly, settle it and let Lao Gu go!" he pulled out ten pieces from a bundle of neatly sorted old coins and took advantage of the time when the landlady turned to clean up the rice pot on the stove, He stuffed the rest of the money into an old envelope and stuffed it into Gu Zheng's arms at a very fast speed.

"The money is here. It's just right. Isn't there something wrong with your family?"

"Hurry to help you! If it's done, we fisherman mountain spring water station will always welcome you back."

"Remember, if you can't help it, come to me. There's nothing about wealth and wealth. I can still find you a job to eat by strength."

With that, he Mozi patted Gu Zheng on the shoulder. It was like remembering something. He bent down and squatted under the table. From the old paper box, he dragged out two bowls of bucket noodles.

"We've known each other for so long, and I don't know how long it will take Lao Gu to take the train home. Do you need something to eat?"

"Take these two barrels of noodles. If something happens at home, you need money. Just save some."

These words are intimate and very in line with the character of he Mozi's good man.

Let Gu Zheng, who came to this world for the first time, inexplicably feel that the couple really fit his eye.

Since they know only a little bit of clues, but for their sake of being kind to themselves, they still have to say more words to remind them.

Therefore, Gu Zheng took two bowls of bucket noodles with great gratitude, and then put his arms around each other's shoulders in he Mozi's incredible eyes, reminding each other with a seriousness that he had never had in ordinary days.

"Boss, you are a good man. I want to tell you something before I leave."

"The weather is so abnormal recently. I listened when I went to the Hongjing Lido apartment area to deliver water."

"It is said that there will be a once-in-a-century disaster next. Prices are bound to rise."

"I think, no matter what, buy yourself some grain, oil, rice and noodles, which are easy to store daily consumables, and you'll never lose anything."

"What if it's really like when the flu came a while ago, the pharmacies in the whole capital city can't buy Banlangen?"

"That's spending a lot of money to buy losses. How distressing, don't you say?"

Because what Gu Zheng said was too true, he Mozi, who listened, nodded with great approval.

After discovering that the other party really recognized his reminder, Gu Zheng's face showed the most sincere smile.

He loosened his hand on he Mozi's shoulder, waved his arm in the direction of the landlady who had begun to serve dinner, stepped out of the door and went straight to the school campus where Gu Feifan's cheap son was located.

As for the landlady behind him, who went to the desk and looked at the amount of cash, the merciless bus palm... What happened to he Mozi's face?

Of course he didn't.

If he sees that he Mozi, who always laughs, is crying and watching his daughter-in-law and complaining about each other with inexplicable eyes, he will be unable to hold back his joy.

Hear that sentence: "what do you do to give so much money! You fool!"

"I've added it to him. You're still pretending to be generous!" yelled. Maybe you want to come back and walk around for two more rounds.

However, now he has arrived at the gate of the College of business and industry. He sits in the guard room at the gate of the school and waits for the concierge uncle here to confirm whether there is really a student named Gu extraordinary who goes to school here, rather than the person who looks like a scavenger. He plans to use this excuse to go into the campus to pick up junk.

Even after receiving such treatment, Gu Zheng's face was unusually calm.

He sat in the middle of the small guard room, with his huge snake skin pocket under his ass, but he was as secure as sitting on the throne respected by thousands of people.

His face was not half cramped. On the contrary, he lit the Xiaomi mobile phone eliminated by his son from his arms to the staff of the surrounding two security offices to further show his identity and improve the efficiency of the other party.

"What I said is true. You see, this is my son's phone. Now I've dialed him."

"If he hadn't answered, I wouldn't have bothered you security comrades, would I?"

"But there's something urgent in the family. I'm waiting for him to say a word!"

After saying this, Gu Zheng sighed. The sense of simplicity of his old father suddenly complicated the senses of the young men sitting around him.

In his hometown, it seems that there is an old man like him, waiting for their return with the same expression and tone.

If you can see your own son, the deep feeling of happiness and happiness is just like the essence, no doubt, inexplicably sad.

It was this emotion that turned the little impatience of the young man who had increased his workload because of Gu Zheng's appearance into sympathy and understanding.
