I want to be a good person

The door opened quietly.

Zhang Aiguo took a look and found no obvious traces.

I changed my clothes in advance when I entered the hotel, so that I could make an excuse if someone saw me.

Zhang Aiguo blocked Qiu Hongmei's mouth, preventing her from making any sound.

He closed the door and put away the hemp rope and copper bell.

Covered in sweat.

"I'll go take a shower, wait for me"

He whispered softly in the other person's ear.

The old clothes were thrown on the chair and rinsed quickly.

It's hard to calm down the excitement, so I can only do something to relieve it.

The classic play has changed its target and audience, and has started all over again with the beating of gongs and drums.

The suppressed sound lasted for a long time.

After the two men finished fighting, they closed their eyes drowsily and slept for a while.

“Bang bang bang”

There was a knock on the door and there were quite a few people at the door.

Zhang Aiguo got up sleepily, put on a coat and turned on the light.

Qiu Hongmei also put on her clothes and sat beside the bed.

The knocking on the door continued.

"squeak"

As the door opened, several policemen rushed in and Japanese soldiers were guarding the porch.

"What?"

One policeman rushed to the bathroom, one ran to the bed and reached out to feel the temperature of the bedding, and one searched the luggage.

The leading policeman sniffed and found a strange smell in the air. He glanced at the woman's face and found her to be pretty.

He took Zhang Aiguo's ID and examined it carefully.

"What are you here for?"

“Distributing groceries”

"Oh"

The three people who were searching shook their heads, and the group retreated.

Zhang Aiguo found that it was right for him to take Qiu Hongmei with him. If he was single, it would be difficult to explain and there would be no witnesses.

After daybreak, the hotel guests were discussing what had happened during the night. Several single people were taken away, and opium smugglers were also arrested because they did not pay taxes to the Japanese. Those who carried weapons privately were also taken away.

Sitting on the cushioned chair, Qiu Hongmei rested her head on Zhang Aiguo's shoulder and slept soundly. She had been frightened at night and dreading the ward rounds, and had been unable to sleep well since then.

The train was very slow, and Zhang Aiguo's heart flew back to Zhangjiakou. Unknowingly, three months had passed since he left. The slow travel did not mean that his love was not overflowing.

I didn't stop in Beijing, I just changed trains and left. In a person's life, there are many passers-by, many of whom are not even interludes. We will slowly forget them and they will gradually go away. There will be no intersection between us, just like parallel lines.

Qiaodong, Zhangjiakou Railway Station.

Qiu Hongmei held Zhang Aiguo tightly, her heart filled with confusion and uncertainty. Men's words are lies. She was still uneasy. She was worried about being sold out, and worried about conflicts with the people who came earlier and that they would be difficult to get along with. She had a lot of strange thoughts.

Zhang Aiguo patted her hands to comfort her. His anxious expression was easy to see, and it became more obvious as the train got closer.

"rickshaw"

"Go, go."

The two cars were running very fast. This was a long-distance trip and was also the driver's favorite.

Heyi Shenggangfang on Paifang Street was open and there were a few guests in the lobby.

Zhang Aiguo took a quick look, then got out of the car with Qiu Hongmei and went home.

"Wang Wang Wang"

The yellow dog struggled with the chain and pounced. The puppy grew very fast, perhaps because it ate well, and looked ferocious. It was more than 40 centimeters tall.

"rhubarb"

Daya walked out of the room.

"Sir, it's the sir who is back."

An excited voice shouted, and seeing Qiu Hongmei beside Zhang Aiguo, she was stunned and didn't know what to do.

"gentlemen"

The door creaked open.

Zhao Xinyu ran out in ecstasy, tears flying out of her eyes. She ran two steps and saw Qiu Hongmei.

After a brief pause, he continued to run over and hugged Zhang Aiguo tightly, his slightly closed eyes full of vigilance.

Zhang Aiguo patted the other person's butt, signaling him to calm down, and hugged him tightly, conveying his concern.

"Xinyu, this is Hongmei, Qiu Hongmei, who is just as miserable as you. Let's go in and talk."

Daya retreated back to her room. Suddenly there was a woman there. As a servant, nothing she did would be right, so the best strategy was to avoid her.

After entering the main room, the two women disliked each other and were secretly competing with each other.

"Okay, this trip is quite tiring for me. Xinyu has taken good care of the family. Hongmei has just arrived, and you, as the eldest sister, need to take care of her. We will be a family in the future. I'll go to Gangfang first. I hope you two can open your hearts and talk. It's not easy for both of you."

"Don't worry, sir"

"I see"

Zhang Aiguo decided on the order first to avoid disputes. If he did, he would always be the runner-up, which was totally unnecessary.

"Hongmei, remember to take out the things you bought for your elder sister."

"Hey, I get it."

Matters between women should be resolved by women. Zhang Aiguo felt that if he intervened, things would only get worse, so he simply stayed away.

A bowl of water can never be kept level no matter what. There is no absolute fairness and justice in the world. Human nature is selfish.

Zhao Dayou is learning to use an abacus and seems to be really working hard.

No one saw Zhang Aiguo coming in, and the old shopkeeper came to greet him.

"Boss, you are here"

"Well, I just got back today. How's the business?"

"Very good. The wine in the small ceramic bottle you mentioned has been made. It is printed with introductions of the Three Kingdoms characters. Everyone likes it very much."

"That's good"

"Where's Zhao Dayou?"

“He is a nice guy, very motivated”

"Sir, you are back."

When Zhao Dayou heard his name, he looked up and saw that it was his boss who had returned. He quickly stood up and came out to greet him.

"Well, how is it, have you learned it well?"

"Thanks to the old shopkeeper's teaching, there has been progress."

“It’s good to see progress.”

"I will cherish it"

"Okay, I'm going to open a pharmacy in the future. You'll be responsible for both. I'll be out a lot."

"Don't worry, sir. I, Zhao Dayou, will sell you these hundred pounds."

"What do I need your life for? Just do your job well."

"Why"

"Sir, please sit here."

Zhao Dayou led Zhang Aiguo to a table in the corner.

The old shopkeeper quickly brought over the tea set and made tea himself.

"Boss, here is the account book, please check it"

The old shopkeeper handed over three account books and opened the first page himself.

"Dayou, have you checked it?"

Zhang Aiguo picked up the teacup and looked at Zhao Dayou.

"We've checked it. Officer Wang and the others have also checked it."

“The dividends were taken away”

"Yes, your dividend is still on the counter, waiting for your decision."

"Give it directly to Madam from now on, and give the account books to Madam from now on."

"Yes"

"Yes"

“How much did you earn in these three months?”

Zhao Dayou glanced at the old shopkeeper and signaled him to speak.

The old shopkeeper smiled at Zhao Dayou's action and decided in his heart to pass on his hidden tricks to him. When the business got bigger, Zhao Dayou would not be a threat to his position. He would be the master of the chief butler and would be in charge of him in the future.

"The first month was not very profitable. The boss changed, and the weather started to get hotter, so we only made 80 yuan. Later, we made the small bottles of wine you mentioned, and the market liked it more. We can earn more than 30 yuan a month."

"That means I can earn about 60 yuan a month."

"Yes, Boss."

“It will take one and a half years to get back the investment”

"Yeah, but it's still fast. Before, it was only about 100 yuan a month."

"it is good"

"Thank you for your hard work, old shopkeeper. Here are three dollars. From now on, your monthly salary will increase by one dollar. The chef behind you will also get a dollar increase. Dayou, you will also get a dollar increase."

"Thank you, boss. Thank you, boss."

“Thank you sir, thank you sir.”

Zhang Aiguo's ambition was not this, he just wanted a visible identity. He could not get rich by working honestly and doing business, but all profitable businesses were prohibited.
