Chentan's Memories

The sixth round of seeking a career market, selling ancestral products, living at the wharf, begging for wages

After the wallet was stolen, Tang Yushu didn't say a word to Lin Lang for three to five days.

In fact, there is no meaning of pranking.

Ever since the beginning, he never suspected that Lin Lang's real estate deed was fake. Of course, he also knew that his dispatch order was genuine, thinking that the people above might have made a mistake.

It's just that they can do it without disturbing each other under the same roof, but when things go wrong, they can't bear to draw their swords to help.This is due to his temperament, and he definitely didn't mean to be a little low-key to please.

But this Lin Lang is like an ice skate that has become a master - no matter what you do, it won't melt, and it will come to scratch you from time to time.

Every time I feel deflated, I know that the other party really hates me.

Tang Yushu simply walked around far away, so as not to cause trouble to others.

Sometimes Tang Yushu would also think: In about a month or so, the ownership of the house will finally be decided.

At that time, either he will leave this small town that he has not had time to be familiar with, or Lin Lang will move away from this place—in any case, he will not have to live under the same roof all day long, with his eyes facing each other and pretending not to see each other.

But every time he thought about it, Tang Yushu was a little scared.

Afraid of leaving an empty mansion in the end, alone with myself.

Since then, this sudden dispute over innocence has been like a drop of water that has fallen into a river pond. In the long and ordinary days to come, it will not stir up any waves.

There was such a scene that Tang Yushu had repeatedly replayed in Tang Yushu's mind in recent days, and he could never forget it.

- "Help me - I haven't lived enough..."

Those were the words when Lin Lang was seriously ill and comatose, holding on to himself tightly and refusing to let go.

overlapped with memory.

"—I haven't lived enough..."

The girl on the couch clutched the hem of her clothes tightly.With a pale face, one can tell the seriousness of her illness.

What makes people feel distressed is that she put on a smiling face in a sensible way: "So I won't die, brother can go to war with peace of mind! When the war is settled, you have to—" deliberately prolonging the ending and waiting for my brother to answer talk.

Tang Yushu poured the decoction back and forth between the two bowls to cool down, raised his eyebrows and looked at the person on the couch: "I'm going to take the green seedlings to the south of the Yangtze River!"

In exchange for a smile on the girl's face: "Do what you say!"

"Do what you say!" Tang Yushu nodded heavily.

This is a game that is never tired of being played between brothers and sisters.

- "Help me - I haven't lived enough..."

Of the two hands tightly clenched to the hem of their clothes, one is eventually lost in the irreversible time and space, while the other is within reach in front of them.

"You're burnt out—this little disease won't kill you!"

Tremblingly comforting the stranger who had met for the first time, Tang Yushu picked him up and rushed out as if he had lost his soul.

The coolness of the evening was blown between the thin shirt and the back by the wind, Tang Yushu shuddered and withdrew from his memory.

I stacked the last package of goods firmly on the cart, squatted at the pier and washed my face with the cold river water—it was time to buy some winter clothes.

"Brother...it's been a month, why don't you settle the wages..." Tang Yushu wiped his face with a towel and walked towards the foreman.

While the foreman got up and pretended to be busy with other things, he impatiently fooled Tang Yushu with an old saying: "Tomorrow."

Catching up with Tang Yushu was in a bad mood, and he had already run out of patience. He stepped forward and blocked the foreman's way: "It's okay. Every time you say tomorrow, are you lying to me?"

The foreman's face was displeased, and he took out five copper coins and stuffed them into Tang Yushu's hand cursingly, muttering: "Look at you, it seems like I won't give it to you..."

Tang Yushu nodded: "I've been working for a month, and it's only a little bit. Is it different from what was agreed?"

"What did you agree with? What did you agree with?" The foreman started to play tricks and pushed Tang Yushu: "Hey - you foreigner, why do you talk like that?"

Seeing the other party's hands and feet, Tang Yushu's face, which was not in a good mood, showed a burst of anger: "Try me again?"

Hearing that this person is a retired soldier, the foreman felt a little apprehensive in his heart, and stepped back subconsciously, but he still sneered: "I pushed you, what do you want?"

"It's okay, ask for wages!"

Unexpectedly, the foreman was timid and yelled, "Isn't this for you?" He stepped back, but unexpectedly tripped and fell heavily on the ground.

Before Tang Yushu stepped forward, he opened his voice first: "Come here! A stranger beat someone—"

Tang Yushu had always been good at dealing with rascals, but seeing this, he frowned a little bit at a loss.

The foreman realized that his method had worked, and immediately threatened: "Take the money and go! Now you hurt me and go to the yamen, and you don't even want a penny of your wages!"

In fact, some time ago, Uncle Wang told him to beware of this foreman.

But on the one hand, he was not familiar with Chen Tan's life and place, and Tang Yushu didn't want to cause trouble; on the other hand, think about it: there is still more than a month before the case has a clear result... If you completely break up with the foreman at this moment, what will happen next? Do you spend your days idly in your house?

After hesitating for a long time, Tang Yushu clenched his fists and then lowered them, so he had to turn around and leave.

In the middle of October, the weather in Chentan is getting colder, and there has been no sun for several days.

As a result, Tang Yushu's mood also became gloomy.

Walking all the way back to the God of Wealth mansion with a sullen face, he saw a group of people clamoring around the outer wall of the mansion.Looking carefully, it seems that there is something stuck on the wall.

After walking forward from far to near, I realized that it was a piece of enlightenment with beautiful handwriting.

Seeing Tang Yushu, one of the owners of the house, came back, all the people were silent, dozens of pairs of eyes looked at Tang Yushu, and Tang Yushu looked at the notice without blinking.

After a long period of silence, Tang Yushu turned his head and tapped the notice with the knuckle of his index finger: "I can't read...what's written here?"

Everyone pushed me and shoved the ground, but they didn't dare to say anything.

When the fat girl saw this, she didn't dare to speak directly, but stepped forward with her hands on her hips, and cursed at the notice filled with righteous indignation: "Why?! He can't make the decision, my father hasn't come back yet to make a decision!"

After hearing this, the thin lady twisted her way out of the crowd, and choked back from one side: "Who does this house belong to? Everyone is pretty close to each other. Lin Xiaoguan made a plan a long time ago, so why did he make a mistake?" have?"

"Sao Tiaozi, don't count on it! Even if the house belongs to Lin Lang, he has no intention of marrying you!"

"Fat girl, then I advise you to cut off Nianxiang as soon as possible! Even if you love the tendons on Tang Yushu's body, you may never be able to touch them in your life!"

So the two sisters fought together again.

There is no need to ask now, Tang Yushu fully understands the contents of the notice.

He didn't have the intention to fight, but with unnecessary heavy force, he stretched out his hand and tore off the notice viciously, and turned his head to greet the crowd of onlookers: "It's all gone—it's not for sale!"

After finishing speaking, he returned to the house aggressively, and closed the door heavily.

As soon as he entered, Tang Yushu went straight to the East Wing and pushed open the door forcefully.

I saw Lin Lang sitting in front of the table, writing something.Tang Yushu couldn't understand it at all and didn't care to read it, so he just slapped the notice in his hand on his desk.

Lin Lang raised his head: "Eh? Why did you tear it up for me..." Before he could finish speaking, Tang Yushu grabbed the neckline and pulled him from the chair.

Looking at the anger in Tang Yushu's eyes from a close distance again, Lin Lang was terrified, but he still insisted on saying: "The house is mine, you have to let me sell it! It's very tolerant to let you, a liar, live there for two months." Already!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Tang Yushu knocked him down and pinned him to the ground.The opponent's thick elbow pressed against his collarbone tightly, oppressing him so much that it was difficult for him to breathe.Lin Lang grinned from the pain in his buttocks, blushed, and reminded: "You have to obey the rules, or beat ordinary people... right?"

Tang Yushu leaned over to support Lin Lang, his eyes were bloodshot because of his anger: "I'm not a liar!"

Lin Lang tried to break away Tang Yushu's hand holding his collar, but found that he couldn't twist him at all.I had no choice but to struggle and yell at Tang Yu who was suppressing me: "But you just took my house, do you know how much this house is to me..."

The warm touch that suddenly fell on his face interrupted his hysterical questioning; then the drop of warmth was cut from the side of the ear, and a cold stream flowed out.

The next word "important" was washed away.

Tang Yushu frowned and closed his eyes, trying hard to endure the collapse, but Lin Lang was still at a loss for the tears that fell on his face one after another.

"You are all liars..." He opened his mouth, his voice rustling: "You are all liars!"

"She likes Jiangnan so much... She thinks that the people in Jiangnan are as temperamental as water, and she also said that the young people in Jiangnan are gentle and pleasant... She definitely doesn't know that I am in Jiangnan—being cheated of wages and robbed of my house..."

The elbow against Lin Lang's chest finally lost his strength, but Lin Lang didn't dare to move rashly at this moment.

I saw Tang Yushu holding his tears with his forearm and crying like a child: "It's a good thing she didn't come..."

For a long time after that, Lin Lang maintained the posture of being pinned down, watching Tang Yushu weeping suppressedly above him.The tears that fell on his face just now evaporated, taking away part of the temperature of his skin along with it, so the coolness penetrated into his heart.

It wasn't until the trembling of Tang Yushu's shoulders gradually subsided that Lin Lang slowly raised his hand, but the movement of his hand wandered in mid-air for a long time, and finally he had to land on the other's cold upper arm, and patted it lightly twice to express comfort.

Gritting his teeth, it seemed that he was stubbornly wrestling, and finally Lin Lang let out a long sigh.

——"Being defrauded of wages?...about...tell me about it?"

On the Chentan pier, the foreman was squatting over there to record the accounts. From the corner of his eyes, he saw a young man in a red brocade jacket with a red cherry hairpin walking towards this side.He only thought that Xu was a noble son passing by, and he had nothing to do with people like himself anyway, so he didn't think much about it.

Unexpectedly, the person moved from far to near, and stood beside him.The evening wind blew the hem of the young man's clothes, and it flew up and slapped him on the face.

The foreman dodged to one side and stood up. He didn't dare to complain because he didn't know the details of the visitor. He was frowning, but he smiled at the person who came up: "I have long admired the foreman Liu!"

Before he had time to ask questions, he opened his mouth and reported his family background: "Lin Lang is the son of the Lin family in Xiajinling Weaving Mansion."

As the other party finished speaking, the foreman also saw the gleaming waistband hanging on the young man's waist, on which was impressively written "Join a boat and help each other"-these four words are the training of the Qianhe Water Transport Department.And this Qianhe Water Transport Department is where I work.Thinking of the marriage between the Jinling Weaving Mansion and the Qianhe Water Transport Department, he quickly understood that the noble son in front of him was the nephew of his master, Zhang Qian, the shopkeeper of the Qian He Water Transport Department.

Such a valuable status, but the words "admired for a long time" and "under" were used in the wording. The foreman felt that he had been flattered, so he smiled obsequiously: "So it is Mr. Lin! Jinling Weaving is our big customer. The brothers are all relying on your workshop to enjoy the meal!"

Unexpectedly, this gentle young man gave another long bow: "Foreman Liu, don't be so polite. Our workshop can maintain a smooth flow of commercial goods, all relying on the brothers on the waterway."

"Where is there..." He was already grinning from ear to ear: "What's the matter with Young Master Lin? Just tell me!"

"It's nothing important... It's just that I heard that Chentan has a good view, so I have to sneak out to stay for a few days. But I'm here, but I don't know what's interesting in Chentan. I'm planning to ask someone about it. , happened to pass by this pier, and when I saw the boat of Qianhe Water Transport Department, I knew it was my brother, so I came over to say hello—is Foreman Liu familiar with this Chen Tan?"

Given the opportunity to serve loyally, the foreman was naturally not long-winded, and talked about a long section of travel strategies eloquently.

After several polite greetings, Lin Lang pretended to say goodbye, and the foreman greeted him sadly, and sent Lin Lang on the road.Already taking steps to perform the scene of leaving, Lin Lang paused again, turned around and said, "By the way—Foreman Liu?"

"You say you say it!"

Finally got to the point: "I see that Foreman Liu has a straightforward temperament, so naturally he and the brothers... don't have any problems?"

"……This."

"None is the best." Without the other party answering, Lin Lang said to himself: "A few days ago, I heard from my uncle that since there were a few wharves that owed wages to people, the trouble was very unpleasant, and the water transportation department resigned." I met a lot of unruly people... Uncle also said that some inspectors will be deployed in the near future to secretly investigate whether the personnel relationship on each channel is harmonious—since we are friends, I will secretly remind you."

"Thank you, Master, for reminding me!" The foreman bowed again and again.

Lin Lang smiled and waved goodbye.After walking a few steps, he paused again, turned around and said, "That's right—Foreman Liu?"

"You say you say it!"

"I sneaked out to play, I didn't want to be disturbed, so..." Lin Lang rolled his eyes.

The foreman was exquisite, and he understood what Lin Lang meant: "I understand, I understand——I have never seen the young master before!"

Lin Hang smiled: "Smart man!"

It's not good to reveal his whereabouts for Tang Yushu, who is out of control... But Lin Lang still didn't want to feel sorry for him.For this foreman, the exhortation is the exhortation, but Lin Lang still has lingering fears about whether he can really keep the secret.

Early the next morning, the foreman came to the God of Wealth Mansion in person.On the one hand, he apologized to Tang Yushu with a smile: "Yesterday, I was confused!" On the other hand, he made up all the missing wages.

After sending the foreman away, Tang Yushu turned around and looked at the east wing, only to see a red ball popping out of the window.Tang Yushu held the copper plate in his hand and was overjoyed: "Thank you Sarah!"

Hearing the sound, the red ball shrank back.

But after a while, after thinking about it, Tang Yushu had already discovered the whereabouts of his secret observation, so he simply stopped hiding.Lin Lang crossed his arms and put on a cold attitude, and stood by the window: "This doesn't mean we are friends anymore. You helped me before, and now I will help you back—it's just a business."

Tang Yushu had long been familiar with Lin Lang's virtues, and didn't care about his petty temper: "It's amazing! How did you do it?"

After getting the compliment, Lin Lang raised his airs even higher: "To deal with this kind of person...you have to hold him up in the air, and then let him know how bad it is to fall...he will be afraid of it naturally."

"You are so good at lightness kung fu?" Tang Yushu completely misunderstood it.

"...?...I don't want to talk to you!" Lin Lang rolled his eyes and closed the window.
