Chapter 496 Looking for Someone

"Brother, let me ask you about someone."

When the man who was about to carry the big bag heard this, he stopped what he was doing and looked back at Xia Zhi in front of him.

Their cargo terminal is full of men, and there are no women at all.

"Girl, who are you asking about?"

The man took advantage of this opportunity to talk, lit a cigarette, and took a break.

"I'll look for Xu Fangda."

The man raised his head seriously and looked up and down at Xia Zhi.

Xia Zhi was a little confused by his gaze, but she quickly reacted,

"Comrade, you are not Xu Fangda, are you?"

"I am Xu Fangda, who are you? I don't know you. How do you know I'm here?"

Xu Fangda walked directly to the steps aside with a cigarette in his mouth.

Pull the steps off your shoulders, place them on the steps, and sit there directly.

"So you are Brother Xu, my surname is Xia, and my name is Xia Zhi.

My husband is Zhou Zhengan.

This time I came here specifically to do something. Before leaving, Zhou Zhengan left me your address and phone number.

I called him, and the old man told me you were here, so I came over here. "

When Xu Fangda heard this, he put away the slightly cynical expression on his face.

"Oh, it turns out to be my sister-in-law. I'm so sorry. I thought it was someone who came to see me just now."

He stood up a little embarrassed and said,

"Sister-in-law, why didn't you say hello in advance when you came? Is there something wrong?"

"This way we will have dinner soon. I'll say hello to the boss and ask for some leave."

Xia Zhi nodded, just as he was looking for Xu Fangda, he couldn't speak clearly in just one or two sentences.

Xu Fangda went in and walked out after a while.

I heard cursing coming from the yard,

"Xu Fangda, take a look at yourself.

It is clear that your family is very poor, but you still ask for leave. I tell you, if you want to ask for leave again, you should stop doing it.

Whether you like it or not, I think I care about you doing it here.

If it weren't for my dad seeing that you have nothing to do after you come back, it would be quite pitiful.

The father and son go to the vegetable market all day long to pick up rotten leaves and cook them, so they think of a way to help you, otherwise you wouldn't even have this job.

The result is good for you, kid? It's such a good job, but you actually want to ask for leave. You don't know how busy this job is. "

"A poor guy can have a bad temper all day long. Let me tell you, if you don't finish unloading the truck outside tonight, you won't be able to rest today, and you won't be able to do it tomorrow."

The words were harsh, and Xu Fangda's face turned red. It was obvious that Xia Zhi was a little embarrassed to hear these words.

"Sister-in-law, let's go."

"I'm sorry, Xiao Xu, it's all because of me that I've caused trouble for you today. I really have something urgent, otherwise I wouldn't be able to come here to find you."

Xia Zhi also felt sorry. It seemed that because of his appearance, the other party's job might be lost.

Although it is said that reform and opening up have been implemented these days, everything has been liberalized, but most people are still willing to work to support their families.

The old man on the other end of the phone was probably the man he was scolding.

Xu Fangda and her grandfather probably depended on each other for life. Although she didn't know the other's family structure, she probably understood it from these words.

"It's okay, sister-in-law, of course I know that there must be something wrong with you coming to me. It's okay, my teammate Zhou is not a troublesome person."

Xu Fangda was quite open-minded, but it made Xia Zhi feel even more sorry.

Xu Fangda greeted him and went directly to a small shop next to the road. It actually sold noodles. The shop was small, shabby and old.

At first glance, you can tell that this place must be very cheap.

Sure enough, Xia Zhi took a look at the menu on the wall and saw that it wasn't a menu to be precise.

They sell noodles, dumplings, cakes and the like.

They don't sell any stir-fried vegetables either.

It should be a small restaurant specially opened for these workers nearby. The price is quite affordable.

A bowl of noodles 1 yuan 2.

To be precise, the price is not expensive, after all, it is already eighty-seven years ago.

Xu Fangda felt a little embarrassed and took out two dollars from his pocket. He saw that it was not even enough for two bowls of noodles.

He hurriedly blocked the money in his hand with his body and whispered to the boss,

"Boss, can you keep the debt for now and pay it to you when I pay you the salary?"

The boss was obviously an acquaintance. Seeing that Xu Fangda knew him, he nodded understandingly.

Everyone knows that Xu Fangda is poor, but everyone knows that this man is calm and values ​​​​love and justice.

When two bowls of noodles were served, Xu Fangda rubbed his hands.

"Sister-in-law, there's nothing delicious in this little place, so I can only force you to eat a bowl of noodles with me."

I felt a little uneasy. One look at Xia Zhi's clothes and I knew that Xia Zhi's life was very good and she was definitely not short of money.

People would definitely not come to eat in this small restaurant on weekdays.

How good can a bowl of noodles for 1 yuan and 2 be?

In fact, it is noodles made from fried bean sprouts.

I am so poor that I can't even add an egg or make egg-fried noodles.

Looking at Xia Zhi's appearance, you can tell that you definitely don't want to eat in a place like this.

Especially the noodles that were served, the mouth of the noodle bowl actually had cracks.

This kind of food is relatively rough, which is why ordinary porters like them come here to eat.

But all the employees at the train station don't come here to eat.

I was afraid that Xia Zhi would dislike the simple food in front of me.

Who knew that Xia Zhi not only didn't dislike it, but directly picked up the chopsticks.

"What are you talking about? I'm hungry too. Come on, come on, eat quickly."

He added some vinegar to the noodles very naturally, and picked up some chili oil and put it in.

Xu Fangda saw that Xia Zhi didn't dislike him like other people.

Instead, he mixed all the seasonings and started eating with big mouthfuls.

He felt calm all of a sudden. It seemed that his sister-in-law and elder brother were the same kind of people, and they would never dislike them.

He put down his worries and started eating immediately. He was really hungry. He ate a bowl of noodles in one breath. He went in a daze.

In fact, with his appetite, this bowl of noodles didn't even fill the bottom, but he had no money in his pocket, and he still owed money for these two bowls of noodles.

Even though he was still hungry, he still put the bowl aside and didn't look away.

Xia Zhi heard the gurgling sound in his stomach, and immediately realized that the man in front of him was not full.

Xia Zhi finished the noodles in front of him, but didn't help Xu Fangda to ask for more noodles.

Although the man was in a difficult situation, he still wanted to save face, otherwise he would not have whispered to the boss about the credit.

You have to respect others.

Xia Zhi pushed the bowl aside after they finished their meal.

"I came to you for two things. Your elder brother said he borrowed money from you and asked me to pay him back this time.

Your brother said he borrowed 200 yuan from you."

Xia Zhi took out 200 yuan from his pocket without saying anything and pushed it directly in front of Xu Fangda. (End of this chapter)
