Chapter 530

"Today, I'm not only the boss's wife, but also a runner, because I hired a little girl whose father was sick and asked for leave to go home," the boss said with a smile

"Ha ha... Boss, although you are running with me today, your identity is still boss."

The landlady asked with a smile: "handsome man, do you eat alone?"

After that, she looked out of the restaurant and asked, "you handsome guy, didn't you take your girlfriend with you when you went out?"

"Landlady, I already have a wife. How dare I bring a girlfriend?"

"Handsome, are you married? I don't look like that. "

"Why not?"

"I can see that you are only 23 or 4 years old at most. You are from the city. Men in the city usually get married at about 30 years old, especially those successful men. Most of them get married at 40 years old. I see you as a successful person, so I guess you're not married

"Ha ha... Boss, you are wrong. I am not only married, but also my son has run all over the place."

The landlady tilted her head, looked at Chang Wen, shook her head and said, "no, it's definitely not like a married person. I'm sure: you must be joking with me. In fact, you didn't even talk about your girlfriend."

"Ha ha... Even if I don't talk about girlfriends, boss, do you want to introduce me to a girlfriend?"

The landlady curled her lips and said, "handsome man, you people in the city look down on our country bumpkins. We are in a remote place. All the girls have rough skin and are as black as coal balls. You can't look up to them."

Just then, a girl with long braids passed by the door of the shop.

Chang Wen pointed to the girl and said, "Madame, you see, the girl's face is very white."

"Handsome man, do you have a crush on her?"

"Landlady, I just said that her face is very white, not as black as a briquette."

The landlady laughed and said, "this girl is from the town. Her father is a transferred soldier. Her mother is a school teacher. Strictly speaking, she is also half a city dweller."

"No wonder I don't look like a country girl when I look at her."

"Handsome, do you have a crush on her? If you're interested in her, I can hook you up. To tell you the truth, the girl hasn't talked about friends yet. "

Chang Wen quickly shook his head and stressed, "madam, I'm really married."

Just then, a man came in.

Chang Wen quickly stood up and said, "uncle, you're here on time."

The landlady looked at the man and said with a smile, "Lao Li Tou, have you come back from the boat? I haven't seen you for a while. I thought you were entangled by the water ghost and reported to the hell hall. "

"Ha ha... The water devil was afraid when he saw me. Yama was a cheapskate and was reluctant to invite me to drink, so I had to run to your little restaurant."

The landlady asked: "do you know each other?"

Old Li Tou said with a smile: "we know each other."

Old Li Tou came over, sat down and asked, "young man, which one of us is the treat today?"

"Uncle, of course it's my treat."

Chang Wen pushed the recipe to Lao Li Tou and said politely, "uncle, you can order."

Without looking at the menu, Lao Li turned to the landlady and said, "give us two catties of pig head meat, a bowl of earth tofu, and two small dishes with wine."

The landlady asked, "Lao Li Tou, what are you drinking today?"

"It's still the old rule. A bottle of Erguotou."

"Lao Li Tou, today you drink with this handsome guy. Why do you order Erguotou? I still have Wuliangye."

Old Li toustubborn said: "I just like to drink Erguotou, good taste, cheap price."

"Lao Li Tou, if you don't have a son, why do you save so much money? Eat as you should, drink as you should, and play as you should."

Old Li Tou laughed and said, "Madame, do you mean that I should give all the money I earn into your pocket if I have no son? Don't dream. I'm not a fool. "

"Lao Li Tou, every time you come to my restaurant for dinner, it never costs more than 30 yuan. I heard that you can earn thousands of yuan if you go to a boat. No wonder people say that the richer you are, the smaller you are."

Lao Li pointed to Chang Wen and said, "today is his treat. I've taken care of your business and asked for two catties of pig head meat."

The proprietress turned a white eye to old Li Tou and said, "you, save the money and honor the Lord Yan in the future."

The landlady twisted the bucket and left.

After a while, there was a clanging sound of cutting vegetables in the kitchen.

Chang Wen said respectfully, "Uncle Li, do you live in this town?"

Old Li Tou replied, "I live in the countryside nearby. It's not far from here."

"Uncle Li, have you been on the boat all your life?"

"Almost. I've been running on the Qingjiang River with my father since I was 18 years old. I'm 58 years old this year, and I've been running for 40 years."

"Uncle Li, is it dangerous to run on the Qingjiang River?"

"If you are familiar with this river and have experience, it will not be dangerous. Besides, what's not dangerous? If you fall when you walk, you will die. "

"Uncle Li, I heard that there are many dangerous shoals on the Qingjiang River. If a ship passes through the dangerous shoals, it will capsize and die if it is not careful."

"Nonsense, there are no dangerous shoals on the Qingjiang River. It's a small river. The main river basins are plains and hills. Generally speaking, rivers with dangerous shoals pass through high mountains and valleys."

"Uncle Li, I heard that last time, you fished up a woman's corpse in the water near Shijia village."

"Ha ha... Who did you listen to?"

"I heard from the people in Shijia village."

"Oh, there's such a thing. About a month ago, when my freighter was sailing through Shijia village, I found a female corpse in the river, so I fished her up."

"Uncle Li, I also heard that you stayed at the home of the woman who committed suicide all night."

Old Li Tou looked at Chang Wen doubtfully and asked, "young man, you seem to be very interested in me. After listening so carefully, I ask you: what do you mean?"

"Uncle Li, I think you are a pleasant person, so I won't beat about the bush. The reason why I am interested in you is that you lied in Shijia village."

"I lied?"

"Yes, after you salvage the female corpse, you told the Shi family that because of the delay in salvaging the corpse, you can't pass a dangerous beach before noon, so you can only stay in Shijia village for one night."

Lao Li Tou was embarrassed, annoyed and confused. He said, "young man, the reason why you want to talk to me is because I told a lie?"

"Yes, because you told a lie and made me suspect you."

"What do you doubt about me?"
