Chapter IX Buying Hearts (August 1850)
The mute girl felt very distressed, 50.5 yuan, which is the sales she usually sells ice cream for a day and her living expenses for several days, but Zuo Xiaoyou used it as a tip. This is too much a loser.
"What's wrong?" When I stood up with the packed beef, I saw that the mute girl's face was wrong, Zuo Xiaoyou asked, "Do you feel uncomfortable?"
The mute girl shook her head and looked at this handsome man with a complicated look.
After walking out of the noodle shop, the mute girl finally couldn't help but write a sentence: "I really don't deserve you."
Seeing this sentence, Zuo Xiaoyou shook his head: "How can you be worthy of superficial feelings? As long as I think you are good, as long as your own heart is not disgusted, we can be together."
He paused: "Actually, I am an orphan, without any father or mother, without any worries. Who do I like? Who do I want to marry? That's my own business and has nothing to do with anyone. No one can care about me."
Hearing these words, the mute girl's eyes were filled with shock and she hurriedly wrote: "Are you an orphan?"
"What?" Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and said, "Did you think I'm not worthy of you in an instant?"
The mute girl shook her head repeatedly and wrote: "I am also an orphan."
After watching it, Zuo Xiaoyou laughed: "It's great, it seems that we are born with a couple." He paused: "If you don't object, will we date first based on the relationship between a boyfriend and girlfriend? After waiting for a long time, you think I am a person who can entrust my life to the rest of your life. You can marry me, okay?"
The mute girl's face turned red again and she hadn't replied for a long time.
"If you don't speak, I will treat you as your default." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled.
The mute girl raised her head, glanced at him with a little coquettish look, and wrote: "I'm a little scared."
"It is inevitable that you will be afraid of having a boyfriend for the first time." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "But everyone has their first time. You are afraid now. After you have experienced it, you will gradually get used to it and no longer be afraid."
"..." After a long silence, the mute girl pursed her lips and wrote a passage: "It's too fast. Can you give me some more time?"
Zuo Xiaoyou looked at her, and she was also looking at him.
With his eyes facing each other for a moment, Zuo Xiaoyou nodded: "Okay. I'll give you time."
The mute girl pursed her lips and wrote: "Thank you."
"You're welcome." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled slightly: "But I want to know where you live. Only when I miss you will know where to find you."
Zuo Xiaoyou had already compromised too much with her. Faced with this small request, the mute girl finally compromised.
She took Zuo Xiaoyou home.
"Is this your home?" Zuo Xiaoyou looked at the room that was simple but very clean, and smiled: "It's very good, much better than where I live."
The mute girl poured him a glass of water and wrote in her notepad: "Where do you live?"
"Have you heard of Zhucang City?" Zuo Xiaoyou asked with a glass of water.
The mute girl thought for a moment, nodded, but with a hint of surprise in her eyes, she wrote: "How could you live there?"
"Actually, I came to Shanghai a few days ago and I didn't have much money. The houses in the city are too expensive and I can't afford to rent them, so I can only go to Zhucang City." Zuo Xiaoyou took a sip of water and said, "Although it is a little remote, the people there are very good. If you have the opportunity to take you to see them, you will like them."
The mute girl nodded gently and wrote: "Where are you from? Are you here to sell paintings?"
"I am from Beihe, and I really came here to find a better opportunity." Zuo Xiaoyou nodded: "I am lucky. I went to the gallery for the first time yesterday to sell paintings. I was attracted by the gallery owner and sold those five paintings."
Speaking of this, Zuo Xiaoyou made a gesture of silence: "I dare not tell the truth in the Zhucang City. I only said that five paintings sold for 10,000 yuan. In this way, they were very fussy. If I said that one painting costs 10,000 yuan and five paintings 50,000 yuan, they would not know what they would be scared, so you have to keep it a secret for me. If you meet those people, don't tell them the real price."
The mute girl laughed silently and wrote: "I must keep it secret."
"That's good." Zuo Xiaoyou laughed and blinked: "Even if this is a little secret between us, no one will tell you."
I don’t know if it was because of the common secret, the mute girl blushed and nodded.
Zuo Xiaoyou stayed at the mute girl's house for more than an hour before leaving. Before leaving, he poured out a pile of things from his backpack, which were either eaten or drunk, as well as some daily necessities, and even the two pounds of cut beef were left behind.
The mute girl wanted to refuse, but Zuo Xiaoyou's words made her lose the mind.
"Do you think it's too little?"
“…”
After Zuo Xiaoyou left, he went to the store to buy a pipe of good quality and some high-end tobacco. He planned to give it to the landlord as a gift. He also bought two bottles of good wine, which he wanted to give to the landlord.
In addition, Zuo Xiaoyou also bought a lot of candy, which was intended to give the neighbors of Zhucang City. Before solving the threat from the Axe Gang, he had to live in Zhucang City forever, so it is very important to establish a good neighborhood relationship. In particular, the news that he made a lot of money by selling paintings has spread throughout Zhucang City. If he doesn't make any blood, then the neighborhood relationship will not be well done.
After buying a bunch of things, Zuo Xiaoyou hired a rickshaw. The coachman brought a little more, and the coachman asked for more than 50 cents. Zuo Xiaoyou directly gave him three yuan: "Don't look for it."
An hour later, Zuo Xiaoyou returned to Zhucang City.
"The great painter is back"
"Wow, after buying so many things, it's different if you get rich."
"Mom, it's sugar, I want to eat sugar."
"You kid, my mother will buy you candy when she turns around."
Facing these neighbors at the bottom of society, Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and said, "I bought some candy and I will get it to Uncle Gui later. Everyone will call the neighbors over and everyone will have a share."
"For us?" The neighbors were very surprised.
"Yes." Zuo Xiaoyou nodded with a smile: "Everyone knows that I have made some money in the past two days, so of course I have to buy some candy for everyone. It is better to have fun alone than to have fun, and it is better to have fun together."
"After all, he is a talented man, and his words are different." Agui walked over.
"Uncle Ghost." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and threw a large bag of candies to him: "Please ask Uncle Ghost to share the candies for everyone. I also bought some gifts for the landlord and the landlord and aunt, and I will send them there."
"Go and hand it over to me here." A Gui held the pack of candies of at least twenty kilograms and said to everyone: "Xiaoyou said just now that everyone has a portion. There are 136 people here, even the elderly and children. I will divide these candies into 136 portions later, and each person has them. No robbery is allowed."
"A ghost. Don't look down on us, we are not that unreliable."
"That's right, just don't keep custody and steal it. Then all the people in the village are here. You can't take advantage."
"Bah, who doesn't know that I, Agui, are honest and trustworthy. Don't talk nonsense. Call everyone in the village and share the candy."
When the whole village was sharing candy, Zuo Xiaoyou also took to the landlady's house with tobacco and alcohol.
"Why is it so noisy below?" Zuo Xiaoyou knocked on the door and asked with a frown.
Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and said, "I bought some candy for everyone and let Uncle Gui share it with everyone."
"What are you buying candy for those wastes? Waste." The landlady was very dissatisfied.
"Forget it." The landlord said: "It's also Xiaoyou's intention."
"Mr. Landlord is right. I am a newcomer. I am lucky and earn some money. I always have to repay my neighbors. Aunt landlord, this is the pipe and the best tobacco I bought for you. Don't smoke anymore. There is no filter. If you smoke too much, you will easily get lung disease."
Zuo Xiaoyou handed the purchased pipe and tobacco to the landlord. The landlord looked at the beautiful and exquisite pipe and the golden tobacco. He had an inexplicable look in his eyes, but his mouth was still vicious: "What are you buying these things for? Waste"
"Haha, just go happily." The landlord was a little envious and jealous: "Xiaoyou, only your aunt's, why don't I have mine?"
"Yes." Zuo Xiaoyou smiled and took out two bottles of white wine from his bag, saying, "No one can't be without Mr. Landlord. Look, these two bottles of good wine were specially bought for you."
"Haha, you're intent." The landlord was very happy. He liked to drink, but he could only drink some cheap bulk wine. It's rare that there are two bottles of good wine, so he must taste it well.
"Hmph" the landlady stared at him, the landlady was deserted.
Putting the pipe and tobacco on the table, the landlady asked, "Where did you go today?"
"I just walked around the city and got familiar with the environment." I paused: "In addition, I am chasing a girl. In the future, I may have to go to the city to see her every day. I will also ask the landlord and aunt to take care of my house here."
"Are you chasing a girl so soon?" The landlord and the landlord frowned: "Where is she from? How old is she? What are you doing? Who are you at home?"
Check the household registration?
Zuo Xiaoyou was a little dissatisfied, but this feeling of being surrounded by his parents still suppressed his dissatisfaction and said, "She is a native of Shanghai. She is twenty years old this year, an orphan, and currently makes a living by selling ice cream."
"Orphan?" The landlady frowned and said, "If it is an orphan, you may not get any help from her in the future."
"I like her people, not her relatives." Zuo Xiaoyou said: "She and I are both orphans. I think we can support each other and live a good life in the future."
"Are you an orphan?" exclaimed the landlord and the landlord.
"Yes." Zuo Xiaoyou nodded and said seriously: "So I don't care about her origin, and I don't care whether she will help me in the future? I only care whether she likes me? Is she willing to marry me? As long as we like each other and we are willing to spend our whole life with each other, that's enough. Why bother to care about whether the other party has rich relatives?"
Zuo Xiaoyou's words convinced both the landlord and the landlord. Indeed, Zuo Xiaoyou and the girl were both orphans. As long as they liked each other, they could spend their lives together without any scruples.
Others have no right to speak out. It will not be continued.
