"It's no longer possible. I can't walk anymore. Someone is paying for it anyway. Why don't I take a ride? I have to take a bus for 200 meters."

A Guang had already climbed up and was hesitant to come down. Ye Yaodong pulled him and he could only sit down.

"You guys can also call one, and Aguang will pay for it anyway."

A Guang glanced at him speechlessly and turned his head away from talking to him.

In fact, he was tired from walking, and he didn't want to walk for 200 meters, let alone 1 kilometer left.

The rickshaw started moving.

The two brothers at the back looked at me, and I looked at you, and finally raised their feet and walked away slowly.

Everyone followed Ye Yaodong. How could they have the nerve to call a taxi and wait for him to pay? If they could just ride together, that would go without saying.

Ye Yaodong waited for the rickshaw to stop, said hello to A Guang, and got on the boat first.

He first locked the good money and the envelope in his arms into the iron box under the bed, then took off his coat and went to bed peacefully.

The cabin was filled with snoring one after another. No one heard the sound of his return, and everyone slept soundly.

After a while, he quickly fell asleep, and even the noise outside the dock could not affect him.

He didn't wake up again until 3 pm. He checked the time and realized it was still early, so he continued to catch up on his sleep. He didn't get up until 4 pm, half asleep and half awake.

His father and some people on the other boat were already awake and tinkering with things on the deck.

He said hello to his father and said he was going to Director Chen's house for dinner in the evening. The boatman on his ship asked his father to take him to dinner with him. He also left 20 yuan for his father and agreed to come back around 7 o'clock at most.

After landing, he rarely met his second uncle. He was afraid that he would not have a car when he came back and would have to rely on two legs, so he asked his second uncle to pick him up at Director Chen's house around 8 to 8:30.

He figured that a meal and a drink would be enough for two hours, since he would have to go to work the next day.

When he went to the department store at this time, he didn't ask his second uncle to deliver the goods. He just waved for a rickshaw.

After all, if you call, my uncle will definitely not charge you, which will make people run back and forth in vain. If you stay here, you can at least try your luck and get an order.

When he came to the door with his things, it was almost the rush hour for get off work. Standing in front of Director Chen's house, he met several nearby cadres, and some even took the initiative to say hello to him.

"Are you the adopted son that Old Chen just adopted? I heard that you are also a very handsome young man."

"Haha, it's me, happy leader's holiday!"

"Happy holidays to you too! Are you coming to visit during the Lantern Festival?"

"Yes, I happen to be in the city today, so I came over to celebrate the festival with my two elders and have a meal."

"Quite thoughtful."

"hehe……"

"Let's go now. They should be back soon."

"Okay, thank you."

Ye Yaodong smiled and didn't dare to say more. After all, he didn't know anyone, so any more words would make mistakes.

After just waiting for a few minutes, he encountered several waves of people looking at him curiously.

Seeing a woman trying to carry rice from the back of her bicycle, he quickly put down what he was carrying and actively went to help.

"Sister, let me help you carry it. Which floor do you live on?"

"Thank you very much. I should call you aunt. I'm almost fifty years old. How can I call you eldest sister?"

"50, no? I think it's 40 at most. I'm already 30. It's normal to call me eldest sister."

"You're so good at talking. Why haven't I seen you before, young man?"

"Haha, I came to visit relatives today. It's normal that you haven't seen me."

"Which family are you related to?"

Just at this time, Jin Yuzhi came back pushing the bicycle. The basket in front of the bicycle was filled with vegetables, and the basket was hung on the front of the bicycle.

"Ah Dong?"

Ye Yaodong turned his head and responded, "Hey, wait a minute, godmother, I will send this bag of rice back to this eldest sister first."

"Ah, you are Bureau Chen's newly adopted son?"

"yes."

"Your newly adopted adopted son is quite nice. He is very polite and hard-working, and he also speaks nicely."

Jin Yuzhi smiled and said: "He is a good person, and we have known each other for several years. We know our roots well and often come to visit us. The dried fish, fish sauce, and jellyfish blood that I gave you before were all from him."

Send it over."

"That's it. That's good. Thank you, young man."

"You're welcome..."

Jin Yuzhi introduced her, "She is Director Yu of the Industrial and Commercial Bureau. Her husband is a retired soldier and is now the director of the Municipal Public Security Bureau."

Ye Yaodong said a few more greetings without changing his expression, "Hello, hello..."

Sure enough, people of the same species flock together, and everyone you meet at random is a big shot.

"He is a young man who is older and stronger than us. Let him move you home."

"Okay, I'll trouble you." Director Yu smiled.

"It's no trouble, it should be easy." Ye Yaodong said a few words politely.

Then he quickly followed them and delivered rice to people's homes.

After returning to Jin Yuzhi's house, she said: "You are lucky. You met Director Yu when you first came here, and you even helped her casually."

"I saw her trying to move rice, so I helped her by mistake."

"I heard from Lao Chen that you bought a large piece of open space, sorted it out, and built a wall to surround it."

"Yes."

"Now unemployed young people in urban areas are encouraged to engage in self-employed business activities, but if the scale is too large, they are still not allowed. You need to pay attention to this."

"I understand that my site is large and I haven't arranged the labor yet. I just made a plan in my mind. The equipment is not complete yet. If I really want to use it, I may need to take care of it."

He has already thought about it. He still has a shop. Later, he will recruit a few people to hang up under the shop. They will go up and down. There will be no more than 7 people on both sides. In this way, there will be about 10 people available. At the beginning, there is no need to do it.

You don't need so many.

Of course, it also needs to be managed, otherwise if a large open space is surrounded and built, it will be a clear handle.

It's just that the time it was built is still short, not even a month, and no one comes in or out with the items, so no one cares enough to report it.

Jin Yuzhi nodded, "It's for sure. It just so happened that you helped me a little today. Although it was insignificant, it still left a good impression. In the past, you gave me a lot of things, and I often gave them to my neighbors.

How much can we all share the same sentiment?"

"Thank you godmother for the tip."

Ye Yaodong would really like to express his sincere gratitude, reminding him so clearly.

"It's also because you happened to meet me today, so I said a few words, otherwise I will have to ask someone to do something for me in the future. If you sharpen your skills temporarily, there is no way to have the stability of a friendship that was established early."

"Yeah, I know, I understand."

Socializing with these ladies is also very important.

Ye Yaodong thought for a moment and then said by the way. The old man who greeted him at the door just now had easy-to-recognize features. He was a Mediterranean bald old man who looked sixty or seventy years old. He even had a dimple when he smiled. He was quite kind.

"That's Vice President Sun from the Jiefang Hospital. He didn't live here originally, but because it's close to the hospital, one of his sons was assigned housing here. He wanted to make it more convenient and moved here last year. He's old and has a son and a daughter-in-law.

Being around makes it easy to take care of you.”

"Oh, he looks very kind and kind."

"Yes, he is a very nice old man. He always smiles when he sees him. I'll go cook first while you sit down and rest for a while."

"Let me help together..."

"No, Lao Chen should be back soon. You sit and talk with him."

Talk about Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here.

Just as Jin Yuzhi finished speaking, they heard the sound of the door key turning.

"Let me tell you, this man just couldn't stop talking about it. As soon as he started talking, he came back."

"What are you talking about me? A Dong is here? Sit around, I got a new box of tea today, let's make a pot and taste it..."

Director Chen closed the door, still holding a small can of tea in his hand, smiled and asked him to sit down, and then began to play with the teapot and cups on his coffee table.

The teapot inside looked dark and stained with tea, and I didn't know how long it had been since it had been washed.

"I'm telling you, this teapot can't be washed. The stuff on it is all good stuff, but it's not dirty. This teapot of mine is an old one..."

Director Chen introduced him to his teapot and the new tea he got.

He had known for a long time that Director Chen liked to drink tea, from the first time they met at Ah Qing's parents' house. When he left, he gave him a bag of home-made white tea.

So when he came back, in addition to the dried fish, he also didn't leave any tea leaves. Today he also brought a box of Dahongpao tea leaves.
