Zhan Zhumen

Chapter 169
There are still three days until New Year's Eve, Huo Xi and Yang are too busy to separate themselves.

Everyone in Taoyedu has been doing well in business these days, earning half a tael of silver almost every day.Some people live in their hearts and earn more.

Everyone was so enthusiastic that Huo Xi, Yang Shi and Yang Fu were too busy.

She wanted more and more to find a helper.

On this day, when the three of them came back with a cart full of goods, someone knocked on the courtyard gate of Qionghua Lane.

"Mother, go and open the door, don't move. Yang Fu, go to the kitchen and get some charcoal, and you two will have a good roast, so you don't freeze." Yang got up and opened the door.

"Are you?" A thin man standing at the door, never seen before.

"Aunt Huo, it's me." The half-grown boy standing beside the man's legs lifted his hood, revealing a face flushed with cold.

Yang shi took a closer look and said, "Oh, it's you!" She thought that she would never meet again.

I touched his small face, it was cold, and looked up at the man: "Is this your father?"

"Yeah, this is my father." Shen Luo nodded happily, and turned to look at her father, "Dad, this is Aunt Huo's family."

"Hello, I'm Shen Luo's father, Shen Qianzhong. Thank you for saving my son last time, I can't repay you." Shen Qianzhong saluted Yang.

Yang hurriedly avoided: "Oh, it's not worth anything. No one would watch it."

"It may be just a little effort for you, but for my family, it is a great kindness. If you are not willing to help, my child will be sent to that dark place, and I don't know how long I can live. If that's the case, I probably won't be able to survive."

Another big gift was made to Yang Shi, Yang Shi hurriedly pulled him up, glanced at Shen Luo, feeling quite emotional in his heart.

If Yang Fu was also snatched away and had to cut off the roots of his descendants and send them to the palace to serve others, she might not survive.How can I have the face to see my deceased parents again.

"Come on, quickly enter the house." Pulling Shen Luo, "Why is it so frozen? Did you come here?"

"It's not so cold when you walk."

What a sensible child, "Come inside and warm up with your sister."

younger sister?Where is my sister?Did Aunt Huo's family give birth to a little sister?
Entering the yard, seeing Huo Xi and Yang Fu standing at the entrance of the main hall, Shen Luo looked around, but didn't see any younger sister.He didn't dare to look too much, and smiled very happily at Huo Xi and Yang Fu: "Father, they were the ones who saved me that night."

Shen Qianzhong wanted to bow to Huo Xi and Yang Fu again, but Yang quickly stopped her: "They are still young, you are trying to shorten their lives."

Shen Qianzhong kept saying words of thanks, and was greeted by Mrs. Yang to warm up in the main hall.

"This is a small gift, I hope to accept it."

"You're too polite. It's just that the road is rough." Seeing the seven or eight gift boxes brought over by his father and son, Yang didn't know what they were. He said excuses, but he was happy that this person was polite.

"I wanted to come here a few days ago, but one is that I'm still living in the hospital, and I'm afraid I'll make you sick, and the other is..." Shen Wuzhong bowed his head embarrassedly.

"Secondly, my father and son ran out of money along the way, otherwise Luoer would not have thought of selling himself. I thought, find some work outside, save a few copper coins, and then thank the benefactor's family, empty-handed, It's not easy to come to the door."

"Oh, there's nothing to be embarrassed about."

Yang Shiqian gave way, and turned her head to look at Shen Luo again. This child looks smart, and the family has raised him until he is eight years old.

That day he scolded Xi'er and Yang Fu for not knowing the seriousness, but looking at it now, I feel that the two children are doing well.

Shen Luo was sitting next to Huo Xi and Yang Fu, the few of them were talking together, and being roasted by the brazier, their hands and feet became warm.Looking around: "Aunt Huo's family, where's the younger sister you're talking about?"

"My little nephew is sleeping." Yang Fu thought he was talking about Nian'er.

Huo Xi looked at Shen Luo, Yang Shi also looked at him, laughed, and pointed at Huo Xi: "This is your sister."

"Ah?" Shen Luo looked at Huo Xi who was sitting beside him with his mouth wide open, and his buttocks moved accordingly.

"Is this child disguised as a man?" Shen Qianzhong looked at Huo Xi with a smile.

"It's just for the convenience of walking." Yang said something.

Seeing that Shen Qianluo was puzzled, he said a few words about the situation at home.

Shen Qianluo listened while drinking hot tea: "You guys are fishermen, it's amazing that you can start a business in the capital."

"It's not a big business, just ordinary groceries."

"For ordinary groceries, it is extremely difficult to find sources of goods outside. There is no way or means. Especially you are women and children. The guys and shopkeepers in the warehouse are the best at watching people order dishes. The same goods, different people go Negotiate, prices vary greatly."

Huo Xi glanced at him.

Yang patted her thigh: "That's right, you don't know how difficult it is! Many warehouses rely on their own goods to sell well, and they don't want to sell them loose at all. Not to mention shopkeepers, even the shop assistants don't want to talk to you. Seeing that you are a woman, The door will not let you in. We don’t know how many times we have had the door shut and how many times we have received blank stares.”

Shen Qianzhong nodded empathetically.

"Sometimes the shopkeeper and the shopkeepers of the warehouse can't be the masters. They just do what the master tells them to do. You have to find the boss behind them. If you want the shopkeeper and the shopkeeper to pass the threshold for you, you have to give them benefits. There are enough benefits, and they are willing to give you a word for the sake of money, which is better than you blindly looking for someone..."

Yang Shi listened very carefully, Shen Qianluo saw that she liked to listen, so she talked a lot about the business world.

"Your family used to be in business?" Huo Xi turned her head and asked Shen Luo beside her in a low voice, her gaze averted from Shen Qianzhong.

Shen Luo nodded while peeling the chestnuts that Yang Fu roasted for him: "Well, my family used to run a shop in Jinling. There were many shops and sold a lot of things. The yard I used to live in was bigger than yours. .”

Huo Xi looked at him quite unexpectedly.

Look at this little kid eating a chestnut, it was so hot that he couldn't hold it in his hands and he couldn't bear to put it down. He was tossing back and forth between his hands, and he couldn't stop whining when he peeled it open to eat. His eyes narrowed .

I really can't see that he used to be the son of a rich family.

His eyes turned to his father Luo Qianzhong again.

Yang may have finally found someone who can share the sad experience of finding and buying goods all the way. Seeing that Shen Qianzhong can talk about one thing, it is called a chatter.

And Shen Qianzhong listened quietly, saying a few things about the business field from time to time.

Huo Xi listened quietly, looked at him with his eyes, saw that he looked thin, and there was no shrewd look of a businessman in his eyes.

Then he turned his head and asked Shen Luo: "Where do you live now? Is your father looking for a job?"
