Chapter 14 14. Qiangwa is miserable
Luo Yihang was so shameless that he insisted on sticking to his wife, and Qiangwa couldn't do anything about it.
He complained all the way, but his hands were working very fast.
She pulled out a few pieces of paper from the counter, glanced at them, and put them in her bag. She took the car keys and asked Luo Yihang to lock the door.
He had his own Wuling minivan, which drove out from behind.
He took Luo Yihang to the town hospital to apply for a health certificate, and then went to the city, to the government hall, where he got a number, filled out forms, made copies, queued up, and handed in information at each window, busy until he was sweating profusely.
Each department in the city’s government hall has a window, which saves a lot of trouble. At least you can get things done in just one trip.
In addition, with the presence of Qiang Wa, an expert who often handles procedures for others, efficiency is very high.
I was busy until about six in the afternoon, and all the procedures had been completed. All that was left was to wait for approval.
Coming out of the government hall, Luo Yihang suggested: "Call Sui Wa and Lao Jiang to have a drink tonight."
Sui Wa and Lao Jiang, like Hang Wa, are also Luo Yihang's classmates. They have always played together and are all in the city.
Qiang Wa waved his hands, gulped down a large bottle of water, shook his head and said, "Lao Jiang has to be on duty. He seems to be getting promoted. He is very active at this moment. Sui Wa's job is that he can't drink on weekdays. It's no fun to call him out. Let's wait until the weekend."
It’s not a holiday or a weekend, and everyone has work, so just wait until the day off. There will be plenty of time in the future anyway.
Luo Yihang didn't hesitate and suggested, "Forget it, let's have a drink."
"Let's go." Qiang Wa agreed very readily. He got in the car and took Luo Yihang for a ride around the city, but he felt that there was nothing he wanted to eat.
So the two of them went back to the town and bought some vegetables, meat and cooked food at the market.
Luo Yihang was asked to cook two dishes, and Qiang Wa prepared a few bottles of beer. Then the two of them set up a small table in the small open space in front of Qiang Wa's store and drank and chatted.
Talk about the unpredictable world, talk about Sui Wa being a piece of shit who even attacked the intern nurse, talk about Niu Niu eating sand while earning a high salary, talk about Hasong still having a crush on someone, talk about Dong Zi changing his ninth girlfriend...
Talk about the Taiwan Strait crisis, talk about whether one of the native chicken and the economist must die, talk about the Warriors vs. Lakers, talk about whether there are aliens...
As we chatted, the food was gone, the wine was empty, the sky was full of stars, and we sang the ballads of the past...
“I pray to have a transparent heart and eyes that can shed tears, giving me the courage to believe again…”
"I cross the lies to embrace you. Whenever I can't find the meaning of existence, whenever I get lost in the darkness, the brightest star in the night sky, please guide me forward..."
Both of them drank too much that day.
Luo Yihang stayed at Qiangwa's place at night.
……
the next day.
Qiangwa took Luo Yihang to several wholesale markets, selecting goods, giving advice, bargaining, and purchasing things.
He then picked up the electric tricycle and sent it to a car shop in town for modification.
If you want to set up a stall, you have to weld a frame or something.
He also vacated a room on the second floor for Luo Yihang to live in.
It's really great that we brothers have gotten along so well.
They are childhood friends and classmates for six years, so he must help. Qiangwa also knows that when he has something to do, Luo Yihang will never refuse.
Luo Yihang did not act as a hands-off boss these two days, and took the initiative to take care of the three meals a day for the two of them.
Qiangwa is so miserable.
He didn't get into university, and after two years of working outside he found it boring, so he saved some money, and with some extra money from his family, he came back and set up an agricultural supplies station in town.
His family originally wanted him to have a job to do so that he wouldn't be idle at home, but they didn't expect that he would actually make it, and the year before last, it was changed into an agricultural supplies company.
Like he said, he's not rich yet, but the income is good.
The first two years were quite tiring, but later on, when the business got on track, it became quite leisurely.
The reason why he is miserable is that all his family members are in the village and he is the only one in the town, and he can't cook.
I have three meals a day, one is noodles and two are fried noodles. I am almost vomiting after eating so much at the two snack bars in the town.
Luo Yihang was here these two days, and it was so delicious to eat home-cooked meals. What a pity, it was only for two days.
After finishing the work, Luo Yihang went back.
Qiangwa went back to eating fried noodles every day.
It means suffering and crying.
Two days later, it was Monday.
Luo Yihang received a call from Qiangwa.
He said that all the formalities had been completed and he had retrieved his documents when he went into town to do some business in the morning.
On the phone, Qiangwa said that the stall setting area has been designated and stalls are not allowed to occupy the road, block fire passages, or be at congested intersections, and so on.
The city is now developing into a tourist city, which is doing quite well. A lot of things have been relaxed, and apart from a series of prohibitions, there are still many places where people can set up stalls.
After hanging up the phone, Luo Yihang looked at the time. It was not yet one o'clock in the afternoon, so he had plenty of time. He decided to do a job first.
Since I have to make money, there is no way I could delay. I didn't spend any money on the biggest item, the electric tricycle, but I spent more than 3,000 yuan on the other things alone.
The sooner you open the stall, the sooner you can get your money back. The main purpose is to make some quick money.
Having made up his mind, Luo Yihang packed up the pepper sprouts he had saved over the past few days and put them into bags, all of which had been washed and drained.
I rode my scooter down the mountain.
……
3:30 pm, No. 1 Middle School.
It was a warm, sleepy spring day.
There are three grades of junior high school and three grades of high school in No. 1 Middle School, with a total of more than 2,000 students, and at least half of them are dozing off.
The remaining half of his stomach was growling with hunger. The little meal he had eaten at noon had already been digested.
At this moment, a burnt, numbing and fragrant smell of fried food drifted into the classroom through the open window.
With a roar, all the students who were dozing off in the classrooms near the school gate woke up, poked their heads out and sniffed violently.
I felt even hungrier.
The teachers are so angry that no one is paying attention to the class. Everyone is looking towards the window. Even the good students are distracted.
Who is it?
Who is it?
Lack of virtue!
The person who did this was naturally Luo Yihang. He went straight to the school gate when he set up his stall today.
It's not placed at the main entrance, about ten meters away, so it doesn't count as blocking the door.
We all came from student days and know that kids who just got out of school have no resistance to snacks. Middle school students have a lot of pocket money and they spend it without knowing how to count.
It is just right for his kind of snacks which are slightly more expensive but definitely worth the money.
It’s not shameful to earn some extra money.
It's just that he came a little early today and school hasn't ended yet.
I heard on the news that they are going to reduce the burden on students, but why isn't the city's No. 1 Middle School implementing this? It's almost 4 o'clock and they're still not leaving school. Isn't this delaying their ability to make money?
Luo Yihang set up his stall and just fried a pot of samples, waiting for students to come and buy them, but they kept waiting, no matter how long they stayed.
The students didn't come, but the teacher did.
A young man walked out of the school gate, wearing a white shirt, black leather shoes, and a gray jacket. He wore a pair of black-framed glasses on his nose and his hairline was a little unsightly.
He is dressed properly and looks like a teacher. In a few years, he will definitely be a young teacher who will be the dean of studies.
He walked out of the school gate quickly and went straight to Luo Yihang.
