Chapter 34 It's Snowing(1/2)
Suddenly a spring breeze comes overnight, and thousands of pear trees bloom.
Snowing……
After Zhang Chu finished his night's work, he opened the door and saw only a vast expanse of white, as pure as white silk, which made people feel happy.
He raised his face and looked stupidly at the falling snowflakes in the sky for a long time, and suddenly reached out to catch them with childlike innocence...
He hasn't seen snow in many years.
Mrs. Zhang came out of the house wearing a cotton coat and looked at the heavy snow outside the house with a little sadness: "It's not snow yet..."
Zhang Chu counted the days and found that there were still five or six days until Xiaoxue came.
However, Xuanbei Prefecture is located in the northeast of Dali, so it snows earlier, which is normal.
He thought it didn't matter. It didn't matter whether it snowed earlier or later.
Mrs. Zhang was worried.
"Over there at the new house, shouldn't work stop today?"
"It depends on what Lao Niu wants. If he wants to stop working, then he can stop working. Anyway, we work for a day and get paid for a day."
"I don't know if the people have prepared clothes and quilts for the winter."
"It's okay, mother. My son will send someone back later to buy some cotton clothes and quilts and deliver them to them."
"What about the offal soup stall? Will the business be affected?"
"It won't have any impact, right? Everyone has to eat even if it snows. Our offal soup is warm and can dispel the cold..."
"I'm just afraid that if it gets cold, everyone won't be able to eat!"
The mother and son chatted in front of the door for a while. Only then did Zhang Chu understand what his mother was worried about, and he couldn't help but sigh that the old man was kind-hearted.
Jintianfu is not in the northeast of the earth and has an urban heating system.
People here survive the winter, and the rich rely on mink fur and cotton-padded clothes and braziers to cook wine.
Poor?
The poor can only rely on hard work!
Many people never wake up after falling asleep at night...
The three winters Zhang and Zhang Chu's predecessors spent in Jintian Mansion were three catastrophes of life and death!
He gently took my mother's hand and said with a smile: "Mom, if you are worried about the neighbors around you, go out for a walk after dinner to see what they still need for the winter. After that, my son will send someone to buy it back and lend it to them.
, just come back to our house when spring starts."
He didn't have a good impression of these poor people in Wutong. In the memory of his predecessor, the residents around here had always made them orphans and widowers miserable.
But as long as I feel comfortable, Zhang Chu doesn't mind being a good person for once and bringing warmth to those poor people he doesn't like.
Just a drizzle.
Mrs. Zhang was stunned for a moment, then sighed and shook her head: "It costs a lot of money, forget it Chu'er, it's not easy for you to make money."
She doesn't care about money.
She felt sorry for Zhang Chu.
No one knows better than her how Zhang Chu earns his money.
It is said that it is a piece of flesh that fell from my mother's body. Every scar on Zhang Chu's body is from her heart!
How could Zhang Chu not understand what my mother was thinking? He smiled and comforted her in a low voice: "It's okay, it's just a small amount of money. Your son is making a lot of money now. If a little bit leaks out between his fingers, it will kill the neighbors around him."
them!"
This is the truth.
After the Crock Pot Market came under his control, although he only opened the offal soup stall and did not bully the market directly, even if it was just the protection fee, it was more than the balance of all his previous businesses combined.
This is also the reason why he is unwilling to hand over the crock market to Liu Wu!
A crock market is comparable to two Wutong li!
Anyone who dares to grab this kind of fat meat in his mouth will kill him!
Now, from his monthly income, after taking into account major expenses such as the base camp construction site, the old block renovation construction site, and the regular money distributed to the younger brothers, he still has more than fifty taels of silver left.
Say more but not more, say less!
But he is confident that as long as he continues to be strong, more and more money will flow into his hands!
In the end, Mrs. Zhang couldn't defeat her son, so she breathed a sigh of relief and felt guilty and went to have breakfast.
Zhang Chu stood in the yard and stretched his muscles, and suddenly thought in his heart, why haven't those people Liu Qiankun mentioned come yet?
Liu Qiankun told him that it was at the beginning of this month, but now it's already the middle of the month and he hasn't heard any news yet.
Could it be that something unexpected happened and he stopped coming?
"It's best if you don't come to cause trouble! Give me another half year, and I won't pay attention to anyone who comes!"
He looked at the vast world and whispered confidently.
Just last night, his control over his own energy and blood finally exceeded 80%!
In two months at most, he can complete the unity of Qi and blood and become a true ninth-grade warrior!
By then, who else in the Black Tiger Hall can touch him?
Liu Wu?
Liu Wu is already old and has lost all his energy. He was injured in the battle at Sihaitang, and I'm afraid he still hasn't healed well yet.
If he enters the ninth rank, as long as he doesn't steal Liu Wu's position as the hall leader, Liu Wu will never dare to attack him easily!
"squeak."
The door opened, and Li Gouzi put his hands in his sleeves and walked in with a yawn.
"Good morning, Mr. Chu!"
As soon as he saw this guy coming in, Zhang Chu couldn't help but glance at the kitchen, where steam was just coming out.
Suddenly he was very annoyed and joked: "Hey, Brother Dog, you are very accurate at this meal time every day!"
"That is!"
This guy has been with Zhang Chu for a long time, and has completely lost his temper. He actually agreed: "Don't ask my aunt, if I don't eat any meal, will she worry about me?"
Zhang Chu was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, so he raised his leg and kicked him.
Unexpectedly, his kick scared the guy so much that he stepped back and screamed: "Ouch, Mr. Chu, please take it easy, I'm injured!"
As soon as Zhang Chu heard this, before he could ask, Mrs. Zhang from the other side of the kitchen rushed out with a big spoon and looked nervously at Zhang Chu and Li Gouzi: "What's the injury?"
Li Gouzi first raised his chin at Zhang Chu proudly, and then said with a playful smile: "Aunt, it's nothing, I'm inviting Mr. Chu to go to a restaurant in the evening!"
Mrs. Zhang breathed a sigh of relief, and then scolded him with a fierce face: "If it's not a festival, it's not a birthday, so why go to a restaurant? Isn't it a good idea to save up money to marry a mother-in-law... Why are you the only one here? Where is the young lady?"
Youniang is Li Gouzi's sister. Like him, she doesn't have a famous name, so she is called Li Youniang.
"Young lady went to cotton spinning and weighing, come here at noon!"
Mrs. Zhang waved the big spoon and lectured Li Gouzi naggingly, "You, it's time for you to be more considerate to your little girl. You can't find any unpatched clothes among the older girls..."
Li Gouzi nodded like a fool, with a scoundrel expression on his face, "You are right, I am the only one who is heartless."
When Mrs. Zhang finally returned to the kitchen, Zhang Chucai frowned and asked in a low voice: "What's going on?"
He smelled the medicine on this guy.
Li Gouzi sat down next to him nonchalantly and said in a low voice: "It's nothing, just yesterday afternoon, a group of raw melon eggs who didn't know how to get out of those crotches were causing trouble at the Crock Market, I
So I led a few people over to look for them, but I was accidentally scolded by them and got some skin scratches on my back."
Zhang Chu pinched his fingers.
He was not surprised that no one told him about this.
He is a gang leader.
No one's father.
He raised a thug, not a son!
Especially Yu Er and Li Gouzi, although they are nominally only the lowest-level gang members of Black Tiger Hall, their power and manpower are no less than those of the other three big bosses of Black Tiger Hall.
If he still needs to be asked to come forward to solve even this small matter, then why does Zhang Chu support them?
As for the group of people Li Gouzi mentioned...
They must indeed be a bunch of idiots who don't understand anything.
If other gangs were to attack the Crock Market, it wouldn't be a petty fight like this.
"Where are the people?"
Zhang Chu asked.
To be continued...
