The modern fortune-telling history of a small shopkeeper

Chapter 341, Chapter to Jiangcheng

Just after noon, there were not many people eating in the store. After waiting in the store for a while, Qiao Mingshan saw his little cousin get off a car.

Hehe laughed, and got a little flour and water on his hands, Qiao Mingshan didn't care, he just pulled the apron on his body to wipe his hands, walked out from the table, and looked at the children who came back from their house.

After seeing each other for a while, their child seems to have grown up a bit, and seems to be taller.

"Why didn't you tell me in advance when you came back? I can still drive to pick you up, so that you don't have to come back by car." The two brothers stood together, and Qiao Mingshan found that his cousin was not much shorter than him. The little boy who was a head shorter than him grew to be almost as tall as him in the blink of an eye.

In the past, he was worried that this cousin would not grow up tall, but now it seems that he was worried because he was too poor before, and none of the children of their old Qiao's family was too short.

Now that the store has made money, they bought a minivan a few years ago, and the original tricycle is still used in the store.

However, tricycles are always inconvenient. Sometimes in windy and rainy weather, they have to go to other stores to deliver goods, and the tricycle cannot run, so I bought a new van later. , so that it is more convenient whether it is usually delivery, or when there is something at home and you need to go back.

"Don't be so troublesome. I didn't want to come back at first. I just came back when the school was on vacation." Qiao Minglang didn't directly say the reason for his coming back, but said that he just came back just because the school was on vacation.

"Hey, Minglang is back. I just heard your brother say you're back. I thought he was joking and deliberately lying to me." Hearing the voice outside, Chen Mingzhu in the store stretched his head out and saw It was really the little cousin who came back with a surprise on his face.

When she heard her husband say that her little cousin who was studying in the capital was coming back, she thought her husband was joking, but she didn't expect that it was really the little cousin who came back.

Qiao Mingshan felt that he was wronged, "Do I seem like a liar? I told you that Mingming is back, and you didn't believe it yourself. Now it's up to me."

Chen Mingzhu smiled and glanced at her husband, the meaning of that look seemed to be answering, it was all up to you.

The husband and wife exchanged a look, with smiles in each other's eyes.

"Sister-in-law in the lobby." Qiao Minglang greeted his sister-in-law in the lobby and another cousin in the store. He didn't see the kid from the cousin's family, and asked where he went.

"Mom came here a few days ago and took the two little ones back." Qiao Mingshan explained that the old man in the family was concerned about his grandson and would come here from time to time, and the two young ones were also willing to accompany them After grandma left, she was asked by the elderly at home to take her back, "The two of them are still young, and I said to send them to school for kindergarten, but your sister-in-law disagrees."

"They are still young, and sending them to school is just for fun. If the auntie is willing to help you take a look, you can ask the auntie to take it with you." After not coming back for a long time, Qiao Minglang heard his big brother talking about the family. By the way, he also asked how the children in his own family were doing.

Qiao Mingshan said: "Everything is pretty good. I went back last month and met Xiaohui and Mingcheng. They all asked me when you will come back. I said you might not be able to come back until the school holidays."

"Don't worry, they are all fine at home. Grandpa and my mother will help to look after them. The children are fine at home."

"Yeah." Qiao Minglang nodded, knowing that a group of children in the family are being looked after by elders to help them. It is always not a problem to have enough food and clothing, but he has not seen the children at home, so he is inevitably missing and worried. I don't know if they are really having a good time at home, if they are being bullied at school, if they will secretly hide and cry when they miss their brother...

When he left home last time, the children in the family were still chasing after him, and every time he thought about it, he still felt a little uncomfortable in his heart.

Seeing the guests eating at the table outside, Chen Mingzhu picked up the bowls on the table and wiped the table clean, "Mingming, have you eaten yet? Sit down and eat something, and sit down with your brother." Come down and have something to eat, I don't think your brother has had lunch until here."

Then he shouted to the back, "Xiaoyong, serve Minglang and your brother a bowl of noodles."

The store is sometimes too busy, and my husband has to deliver things to several other stores, and runs around every day. Sometimes he is so busy that he doesn't even have time to sit down and drink, let alone sit down for a meal.

Although they have made a little money in the past few years, my husband also has some stomach problems. From time to time, he complains of stomach pain. Now the family always has stomach medicine.Chen Mingzhu loves her husband very much, and she will try her best to eat something to fill her stomach every day.

But people sometimes have to endure and experience some things in order to live. If people think about living a good life every day instead of working, how can they live a good life.

They are just saving a penny to live a day.

"Okay, big brother, Minglang, sit down and I'll serve you a bowl of noodles." Qiao Mingyong replied over there. He is now working in the old shop, and his sister-in-law is also here. Sometimes the big brother finishes delivering things. Will come back to the old shop too.

Others set off from the old store in the morning to work in other stores. In the evening, everyone will come back here for dinner. After eating, everyone will go back to where they live.

So one of the advantages of staying in the store here is that he doesn't have to run around, and his elder brother and sister-in-law are here, and it is okay for him to be lazy sometimes. Compared with going to other stores, Qiao Mingyong prefers to stay. Here in the old shop.

Qiao Minglang has eaten a little something in the morning, and he is really hungry. When he came back and smelled the familiar food, he smiled and said yes, "Then I will trouble my little cousin." The eldest brother sat down on a chair at a table in the store.

Qiao Mingshan poured a bowl of hot water for his cousin and said, "Drink some water first. It's very cold in the capital. I saw on TV that it's snowing there."

"That's right, it's colder than our side." After receiving the water poured by his cousin, Qiao Minglang took a sip, but it's dry and cold in the capital city, and damp and cold in Jiangcheng. It's deadly cold too.

"The weather in Beijing is so cold, are you still used to studying there? Remember to wear thick clothes so you don't get cold." After the meeting was cooked, Qiao Mingshan went to fetch the noodles.

There was a chopstick holder on the table, which contained clean chopsticks and spoons. Qiao Minglang took out two pairs of chopsticks and spoons, gave one pair to his hall brother, and said, "Actually, it's fine in the classroom and dormitory. There is heating in both the dormitory and the dormitory, it’s only a little colder when you go outside.”

"Look, I'm wearing so much now, how can I be cold." The weather was relatively cold when I went out in the morning, Qiao Minglang covered himself tightly.

"Haha..." Qiao Mingshan couldn't help laughing when he saw how tightly wrapped his little cousin was, "It's better to wear more clothes, so as not to get cold. You study outside by yourself. If you get sick, there is no one around you." Take care of you personally."

The two brothers chatted about trivial matters while eating noodles.

"Hey, yes, has anything happened in Jiangcheng recently?" Qiao Minglang was about to finish his bowl of noodles, and Qiao Minglang was thinking about how to find Zhou Xing, but he couldn't get in touch with Zhou Xing by phone. I don't know if that person is still here in Jiangcheng.

If his cousin had seen Zhou Xing, he would have mentioned it to him.But he didn't see his cousin mention Zhou Xing, maybe Zhou Xing came back to Jiangcheng and never came to their store.

Before returning from the capital, Qiao Minglang made a special trip to the school next door, went to the dormitory where Zhou Xing lived, and asked his classmates in the same dormitory. They all said that Zhou Xing had asked for leave and hadn't returned to school yet.

"It's nothing to worry about." Qiao Mingshan is busy every day, going back and forth several times a day to deliver goods to several other stores. Sometimes he would chat with some regular customers in the store, but he didn't How to keep those words in your heart.

Just when Qiao Mingyong finished his work, he heard his brother and cousin talking, and interjected, "Why not? I heard people say that a big company in our city has closed down. The boss was still upstairs in the company, so he jumped off such a high place and died on the spot

... I heard that the scene at that time was covered in blood and flesh, and some people saw it with their own eyes. "

Speaking of the dead, Qiao Mingyong shuddered, "...Anyway, I dare not go to see that kind of thing."

"Oh, this, I've heard it too." Qiao Mingshan also heard about it, but he didn't pay much attention to it, and put it behind him after hearing it.

These people who live at the bottom of the society still think about how to feed their stomachs every day. How can they have any time to pay attention to other people's affairs? It is enough for them to take care of their own affairs.

"What's going on?" Qiao Minglang paid a little attention here, and couldn't help asking one more question.

"I saw this on the TV news a few days ago..." Later, Qiao Mingyong told his elder brother and younger cousin what he knew and what he heard from hearsay.

Both of them had finished their noodles, and there were two empty bowls left in front of them. Seeing his wife come to clean up, Qiao Mingshan stacked the two bowls and handed them to his wife. Hearing his brother gossip for so long, he could not help but Said: "It seems that you are a kid who listens to gossip every day in the store."

"Hey, what's the matter, am I working very seriously?" Qiao Mingyong said hastily.
