struggle in a small town

Chapter 2 Just Wanting to Help My Brother
Zhang Xuejiao was really sleepy and tired.

I got up at four o'clock in the morning to go to Xi'an to buy goods, and it was still dark.

Fortunately, she has gained a lot and is worthy of her hard work.

In order to save shipping costs, she didn't send all the goods to logistics, but chose to take a package by herself.

It's just that the weather was not beautiful, and when I came back, it started to rain.

I had seen the weather forecast and it was a sunny day, so why is it raining!
A bag full of clothes weighed at least 80 kilograms. Zhang Xuejiao dragged and carried it out of the train station in a daze.

She reluctantly paid for the taxi, and called her father: "Dad, it's raining, I can't go this time!"

"Where is the person? I'll pick you up."

"The canopy on the east side of the train station, you can see me as soon as you come, and the focus of the audience is well established."

When Zhang Jianguo came, the roar of the exhaust pipe of the motorcycle could be heard five miles away.

Zhang Xuejiao waved at him: "Dad!"

Zhang Jianguo parked the motorcycle in front of her steadily: "If you don't listen to me asking you to bring an umbrella, do you regret it?"

Zhang Xuejiao went back in a nonchalant manner: "Aren't you wearing a raincoat too?"

Zhang Jianguo handed her a helmet, and then carried the woven bag onto the motorcycle: "Save money, save money, how much money can this save? Your mother and I are going to die, don't you and Xiao Yu own everything in the house?"

"Don't die, live." Zhang Xuejiao sat straddling Zhang Jianguo's back: "Take me to the store, and the goods will arrive in a while."

"Dad, don't move, I'll do it myself." Standing at the entrance of the shopping mall, Zhang Xuejiao grabbed the handle of the woven bag: "Do you want to eat steamed mutton? I invite you."

Zhang Jianguo hesitated, but after thinking about it, he still refused: "Forget it, your mother can't smell that smell, if I eat it, she will ignore me for several days when I go back."

"Isn't it something you're used to?" Zhang Xuejiao suggested to him: "Eat chewing gum, and go outside for a while after you're done, I don't believe she can still smell it."

Zhang Jianguo laughed: "I'll know when your mother kisses you."

Zhang Xuejiao has long been familiar with this way of showing affection: "Hey~ okay, then I'll go in, you go back quickly."

Zhang Jianguo stepped on the motorcycle smartly: "Remember to come back for dinner tomorrow afternoon, your grandma celebrates her birthday."

Zhang Xuejiao hurriedly called to him: "Hey Dad, is my motorcycle repaired yet?"

"almost."

"What do you mean almost?" Zhang Xuejiao tugged at his sleeve: "Just tell me!"

Zhang Jianguo lifted his helmet mask: "I was repairing when you called, and I will stop downstairs for you at noon."

Only then did Zhang Xuejiao let go of her hand: "Thank you Dad~"

Zhang Jianguo said worriedly: "Don't forget your grandma's birthday, come back for dinner tomorrow."

"I can't forget, let's go~"

"Miss Jiao."

When the shopping guide Zuo Ting saw Zhang Xuejiao, she quickly helped her drag the woven bag into the store.

Zhang Xuejiao sat down on the woven bag and took off her shoes: "I'm exhausted."

"Come on, let me get you a glass of water."

Zhang Xuejiao looked up and saw the spotlights on the top of the wall, and felt a pain in the flesh: "There is no one on Monday, don't turn on the spotlights, it will waste electricity."

"Okay, I'll close it now."

Zuo Ting turned off the spotlight, handed the water glass to Zhang Xuejiao, and secretly slandered that she would not be willing to spend any electricity bills, and she would kill you.

Zhang Xuejiao drank all the water in one gulp, put down the water glass, and began to organize the things in the woven bag.

All the clothes have to be checked carefully, the excess threads are cut off, and then they are ironed with a garment ironing machine, and then hung in the corresponding places according to the style and material.

Then tell Zuo Ting the lowest price, and it's all done.

It's late August, and the summer models in the store are on sale, and the autumn models are displayed prominently.

When selling clothes, especially women's clothes, you have to start in advance to get a good price.

Halfway through the work, Zhang Xuejiao's cell phone rang, and when she took it out, she saw a string of numbers, which seemed familiar.

After connecting, she stuffed the phone between her ears and shoulders, and was still busy cutting the thread: "Hey, who is it?"

"Sister Jiao, your goods have arrived!"

"I'm coming."

Zhang Xuejiao dropped the scissors in her hand, talked to Zuo Ting, jumped out while hooking her shoes, and couldn't wait for a moment.

With the help of the driver, I got all the goods into the store, worked hard for another two hours, and finally sorted all the clothes.

Zhang Xuejiao shook her arms: "I'm really dying, I have to go back and get a good night's sleep."

"Sister Jiao, go back, I'm in the shop."

"Then I'm leaving, see you tomorrow."

"Goodbye."

Zuo Ting said goodbye to Zhang Xuejiao with a smile, and when she was out of sight, she immediately slumped on the single sofa and said to herself: "Don't come tomorrow, let me be lazy."

When Zhang Xuejiao woke up, it was already dark.

After washing up, I found a bottle of milk from the refrigerator, drank it in one gulp, and took another apple, ready to play two games after eating.

Just halfway through eating, the phone rang.

Seeing the word "Liu Feng" on the screen, Zhang Xuejiao answered the phone casually: "Mr. Liu, are you asking me to fight the fire again?"

"Sister Jiao, you still understand me." Liu Feng vomited bitterly: "The resident singer has a fever and is still in the hospital for transfusion. Come and help me."

Zhang Xuejiao didn't really want to go: "There's no one there on Monday."

"Double salary, all tips are yours."

"I don't care if it's money or not." Zhang Xuejiao smiled brightly, "I just want to help my brother."

Song Xiuni went to dance in the square, Lin Aimin played chess with her neighbors, Lin Zhiyuan was watching TV and stroking the cat, but he was very irritable.

Do you want to go out for a walk?

After struggling for more than ten minutes, Lin Zhiyuan still went downstairs.

I haven't spent summer in my hometown for many years, and I don't know if the nightlife here is equally colorful.

After strolling along the road for more than half an hour, I walked to the city center unknowingly.

The colorful business district is full of young people in cool clothes.

Twos and threes, twos and twos.

Lin Zhiyuan suddenly didn't know where he was going.

After looking around, the neon lights of the bar not far away are particularly conspicuous, so I just went to have a drink.

Before entering the bar door, the waiter appeared in front of him with a smile on his face: "Welcome."

The bar is doing well, except for the high chairs at the bar, there is only one table for two left empty.

There is a small stage in the deepest part, and there are a few people standing beside it, as if they are tuning the sound.

Lin Zhiyuan sat down and ordered a half dozen beers, silently observing the surrounding environment.

The decoration is very stylish, and the guests are whispering. It seems that the boss has a good taste.

Just as I was thinking about it, a familiar female voice came from the small stage: ""Close To You", for everyone."

There were scattered applause in the bar.

Lin Zhiyuan looked up and was surprised to find that the singer turned out to be the girl he met at the train station.

Different from the hotness in the morning, she was wearing a milky white dress, her hair was loosely tied, letting the strands of hair hang down from both sides of her cheeks, she was gentle and moving.

At the end of the prelude, the deep and melodious singing spread: "Why do birds suddenly appear, every time you are near, just like me, they long to be, close to you"
