Li Rong didn't know how Zhao Qingsong and the others were talking. She was sitting in front selling things.
However, when she saw the customer leaving, her face was full of joy. It seemed that everyone was happy with the result.
There is a stove in the store, which is placed on the coffee table and sofa inside, but not outside.
Li Rong was sitting at the cash counter, her hands were cold, Zhao Qingsong rubbed them for her and asked her to go inside and warm herself up by the fire.
Li Rong nodded and said to wait, and asked him how the conversation was going.
"Yes, that person made a lot of arrangements with me. He said that we would cooperate for a while first and then consider whether to cooperate long-term in the future."
.
Before it was time for Li Rong's third round, something bad happened in her hometown, in Dajiang Village.
To put it mildly, it’s Brother Zhao.
The matter was so urgent that it was too late to write a letter.
The supply and sales point in Dajiang Village was equipped with telephones at the end of the year, and Zhao Qingsong made several calls using the phone in Luogu Street.
This time it was Zhao's father who called and asked people from Luogu Street to call Zhao Qingsong.
Zhao Qingsong came back after answering the phone with a serious face. Li Rong and Zhao's mother knew it was not a trivial matter at first sight, and their hearts tightened. Li Rong asked: "What happened?"
Zhao Qingsong glanced at Zhao's mother, stopped talking, and chopped off his feet for Zhao's mother: "You're telling me? I'm so anxious!"
"My eldest brother has been locked up."
"What?" Zhao's mother's vision went dark and her feet went weak.
She really couldn't imagine how the boss, who had always been honest, would be locked up in the police station?
Last month, the eldest couple opened a grocery store in the county town, selling braised meat, sausages, steamed buns and snacks...
"Mom, don't worry, I haven't said the reason yet," Li Rong said to Zhao Qingsong, "What on earth is going on? Can you finish it all at once? This big gasping thing will scare you."
At least it’s here!”
"These are all dirty things," Zhao Qingsong wiped his face, "When my sister-in-law was looking at the store, a drunk man came in and tried to do something evil to her. He was beaten by the elder brother. When he woke up, he refused to recognize him. He also wanted to sue him.
Hurtful.”
Mother Zhao spat: "Thousands of blows!?"
"Things were a bit troublesome. There was only my sister-in-law in the store at the time. The drunkard refused to plead guilty to being a hooligan and insisted on saying that my sister-in-law had seduced him."
Li Rong had a disgusted look on her face: "This person is really bad. He has to support him even if he dies."
"Then what should we do now?" Zhao's mother was flustered. She just let it go that her daughter-in-law had not come back after being molested, and her son was still locked up in the police station.
The drunkard teased him and refused to admit it. There was no one around and there was no evidence.
But it is true that Zhao Qingyang beat people.
Now that he is in jail, he doesn't know what to do in the future.
Zhao Qingsong: "It's okay. The deputy director is my comrade. I called and asked just now. Brother's entry is only temporary. There is still room for change. I won't let brother leave a record, but I have to go back. This time
Things are not simple at all.”
"Then you will go back. When will you go back?"
"Leave tonight."
"So urgent?" Li Rong frowned, "Next month will be the Chinese New Year, but it's a pity that I haven't had a holiday yet, otherwise I might as well have gone back."
"Review honestly and don't have to worry so much."
Mother Zhao looked worried and stopped talking.
"Mom, what do you want to say?" Li Rong asked. Seeing that Zhao's mother didn't speak, she thought for a while and asked, "Are you worried about my brother and want to go back with you to have a look?"
Mother Zhao nodded.
Li Rong: "Then you go back with Zhao Qingsong and buy a ticket tomorrow."
"What should An An do? You have to review again and don't have time to read him."
"I'll send it back to my mother."
"That's not possible, my mother-in-law also has to go to work."
"Take them back together," Zhao Qingsong said decisively.
In the evening, Zhao Qingsong hugged Li Rong and kissed her for a long time: "Daughter-in-law, are you angry if I leave you here alone?"
"Why are you angry? I live in the school just like a boarding house. Besides, the holiday will come soon. When the holiday comes, I will buy a ticket and go back immediately."
Li Rong pinched the thin muscles on Zhao Qingsong's belly: "What about your business?"
"Just make arrangements for tomorrow. There are so many people here. It's not like I can't do it without me." Zhao Qingsong paused and then said, "By the way, there aren't many fruits left in the store. I think you can sell them tomorrow."
Sell whatever you can, and eat it if you can’t sell it. If the store closes early, it’s like going home early to celebrate the New Year.”
"There's still more than a month before the Chinese New Year. Your boss is really willful in front of me."
The couple looked at each other and smiled.
Zhao Qingsong hugged Li Rong tightly: "It's cold here in the capital. It's quite difficult without a kang. Your man will keep you warm!"
.
The old and the young were all taken back to Dajiang Village by Zhao Qingsong. The fruit in the store was sold out and no more stock was available. Teacher Yuan asked if something happened at home.
Li Rong said: "I went home early to celebrate the New Year."
Teacher Yuan has lived to this age, and the food he has eaten for so many years is not in vain. After hearing Li Rong's answer, he knew that it was something inconvenient to talk about, so he didn't ask more questions. He was just disappointed. The room was going to be quiet again.
.
After Zhao Qingsong and the others returned, Li Rong found it boring to live alone in the courtyard, and it was also inconvenient to study, so she moved to the school dormitory.
Shen Ruoning joined in the fun and moved here from home, saying she wanted to live with Li Rong and study together.
After passing three subjects in a row, there were still two subjects that were not very difficult. Li Rong and the others could finally take a breather.
Wu Yanhong asked Li Rong in the dormitory if she had finished writing her speech.
Li Rong didn't know why she asked this, but she still answered seriously: "It's finished."
Wu Yanhong put an apple on Li Rong's table, pulled up a stool and sat down next to her: "I just want to ask you, can you show me the speech?"
Xu Jing suddenly interjected: "What are you looking at? Are you trying to copy someone else's?"
Wu Yanhong, who was so angry at the yin and yang, was not out of breath, and smiled: "I just want to learn from Li Rong. She was the first in her major last semester, and she did a good job in giving speeches this semester. She is a role model for us to learn from.
"
"No matter how hard you study, you can't read other people's lecture notes? What's the difference between this and reading other people's homework answers?" Shen Ruoning couldn't help but said.
"Hey, that's not what you said. We are in the same dormitory. Is there anything we can't share with each other?"
Xu Jing's voice became louder: "What are you sharing? Others are sharing, and you just sit back and enjoy the fruits of it! Every time you pretend to be a close sister and trick others into telling you secrets, when in fact you don't know what you are doing, how can you laugh at others!"
This was probably about Wu Yanhong's sore feet. She jumped up as if her tail had been stepped on: "What are you talking about!"
Li Rong was exhausted mentally and physically, but the fact that this matter developed like this had something to do with her.
She said helplessly: "Isn't the speech script the same as the Chinese version? What I'm going to talk about is the same as last time. If you really want to read it, if you want to read it, just read it."
Li Rong took out the speech notes.
Wu Yanhong made a face: "I won't watch anymore."
Xu Jing lay back on the bed, turned over, and turned her back to the outside.
Wu Yanhong turned around and returned to her bed.
Shen Ruoning curled her lips and mouthed to Li Rong: "It's so annoying."
