Chapter 298: I'm going to be a wage earner!
After a full meal and a full meal, the time was about to pass, Su Lie and Huang Zhao got up to say goodbye to Zhang Huozi, and the old man of the camel was once again greeted with a polite welcome.
Leaving the cramped liquor shop, which had only three or four tables, the two walked slowly along the stone pavement dyed dark blue by the twilight.
Huang Zhao is running all the way, how can he have time to enjoy the scenery inside the pass? Now that his heart is calm, he looks at the fire-like sunset in the western sky, and suddenly he has a feeling of relaxation and joy, and he actually feels the word "happiness" that Su Lie mentioned just now.
However, the happiness of ordinary people does not fall from the sky, nor does it mean that they will not leave again. This requires not only the accumulation of bloodshed and sacrifice of predecessors, but also the fearless guard of future generations. Therefore, it is not easy for the world to develop to this point.
Huang Zhao quietly envied General Su's full stomach and economy, and he could often chant poems casually, and now he also hoped to chant poems to suit the occasion, and opened his mouth, but only sent an "ah".
……
"Huh?"
Su Lie turned his head and looked at him puzzled, thinking that he had something to say.
Lyrical lyrical expression of oolong, Huang Zhao's mud-covered face was only afraid that it would be redder than the burning clouds, but he didn't dare to say it, so he just smirked and coped with it.
Back at home, Su Lie cleared out his change of clothes and bath towels, placed Huang Zhao to clean up, and then helped him throw away the dirty and smelly beggar outfit, which was in the middle of the night.
Huang Zhao was so tired that as soon as he lay down in bed, he snored like thunder, and he didn't know anything.
The house was small, Su Lie couldn't bear to disturb the person who was sleeping soundly, so he took a quilt and went to sleep under the eaves......
On the second day, Huang Zhaocai suddenly woke up from his sleep. He began to dream in the second half of the night, but he only remembered that the last one was Jiayuguan's mistake, and the fluffy white monsters rolled into the inner eaves wall one after another like rolling balls, even with a flamethrower......
The nightmare caused him to stop lingering in the dream, and he sat up as soon as he woke up.
Su Lie was no longer in the house. He got up at the right time, freshened up, had a brief breakfast, and went to teach the children.
The Truth-Seeking School is not far from his residence, turn right when you go out, and you can reach it in ten minutes.
Huang Zhao had nothing to do, so he also went to see Mr. Su's class, and as soon as he appeared at the door, he attracted the attention of the students, and Mr. Su stopped listening to his class, and ran around Huang Zhao to tell him a story. Xiaoxiao was the most naughty, climbed onto Huang Zhao's back, and actually dissolved his bun......
Huang Zhao told the children a story, and Su Lie was so happy that he found a red paint railing, sat on it and read by himself, and spent the day happily.
In the evening, the two really went to Keyunlai again, saying that they were here for dinner, but in fact, they were making amends.
It was the first time for Su Lie to dine here, and after trying their braised pork, it was indeed delicious and admirable, so he praised the shopkeeper and said that he would definitely visit again in the future.
This time, the shopkeeper said that he would invite the two of them, but even if Su Lie agreed, Huang Zhao didn't agree, and kept complaining to the man, reaching into his sleeve, imagining that Su Lie would tip like that, but he took out a blank shot.
Seeing Huang Zhao's embarrassed appearance, Su Lie smiled, took out another hanger of money and put it on the table.
After a few days like this, one night, Huang Zhao said to Su Lie: "Big brother, I am a seven-foot man, sitting in the house every day and not working, what kind of system do you want to raise?" From tomorrow, I have to find something to do, even if I carry sandbags to the dock, I can earn a penny or two a day! ”
The two are no longer in the army, and it is inappropriate to call the former general and the latter general, which is easy to provoke the neighborhood uneasy, so Huang Zhao reluctantly agreed to Su Lie's request and called him the eldest brother.
Su Lie smiled: "This is very good, I don't want you to make much money, I just hope that you don't waste your time and live a fulfilling life every day." ”
Huang Zhao is not smart or stupid, he understood as soon as he heard this, it seems that Su Lie had the intention to let him find a job to do, but he was embarrassed to speak, waiting for him to come to his senses.
This night, Huang Zhao didn't sleep well. Later, he learned that Su Lie slept under the eaves every night to get dew in order to make himself comfortable, so he didn't want to sleep in the bed anymore, so he put a wooden board in the corner of the house, and used it as a bed from then on.
He lay on the wooden plank and tossed and turned, thinking about what kind of work he should find so as not to lose his dignity and not embarrass Su Lie.
Walking into Chang'an City, it is no better than being in Hu Guofanbang. It's a wild place, and it's not eye-catching to do rough work, and if you want to come here, you still carry sandbags, and you must make people laugh.
Think about your own specialty, except for cutting the enemy with a big knife, you can only use a kitchen knife to cut vegetables, although the two have to use a knife, but there is nothing in common, hey, use the hand to kill the enemy to cut melons and chop meat, whether it is a grievance, it's really hard to say.
Hearing Huang Zhao's long sigh all night, Su Lie knew that he was in a bad mood and had too many concerns, so he could only let him go, but he also lost sleep that night.
What was in his mind was different from Huang Zhao's, he was thinking about the words left by Zhong Kui repeatedly.
Zhong Kui once said that as long as he saw a mecha man appear, it meant that the Great Wall Guards should come out of the mountain again, but after many years, when would that mecha man come to him?
Su Lie maintained a fixed residence and did not wander around like Huang Zhao, in addition to yearning for stability, another important reason was to wait for the mecha people. The King's Continent is too vast, and it is too shallow to find a person to describe as looking for a needle in a haystack, so it is better to stay in one place, so that at least the mecha people can find him, if this is really a signal to reconvene the army......
As soon as it was dawn the next day, Huang Zhao came out of the quilt and stirred for a while. He planned to go to the major restaurants in Chang'an City to apply for a job as a cook after breakfast, and there were not dozens of restaurants on Suzaku Street, but also hundreds, and he would definitely be able to find someone willing to ask for him.
Su Lie fell asleep in a daze when the rooster first crowed, and woke up Huang Zhao as soon as he fell asleep, sighed and got up, and asked him where he planned to find work.
Huang Zhao replied that he wanted to be a cook, and Su Lie was happy when he heard it, and said with a smile: "I knew that you had this skill, so we would directly bury the stove at home and make a fire." In my life, the last thing I can do is cooking. ”
Huang Zhao touched his head embarrassedly and said, "Hey, I haven't held a spoon for many years, and I'm afraid of polluting my eldest brother's stomach, so I'd rather not lose that ugliness!" ”
Su Lie asked, "Then which restaurant do you fancy and are willing to help cook?" ”
Huang Zhao's face turned even redder, and he smirked: "Just by me, I can still pick and choose with a big knife, go to work and earn wages, can I have the qualifications to choose?" ”
Su Lie shook his head and said: "That's not right, if you want to be looked down upon, you must first look down on yourself." Which hotel in the West Market doesn't know your Huang Zhao's name? If you want to find a job, people can't rush to ask for it? ”
This woke up Huang Zhao, and he hurriedly said: "That's right, I can't take advantage of the momentum of my eldest brother to go through the back door, and make it look like others pity me before recruiting me, so let's not look for it in the West Market, just go to the East Market!" ”
