Zhang Zian's family was not very rich, but at least they were not poor. They had everything they needed. Compared to the old couple's family, they were quite happy.
He listened patiently.
Aunt Li looked at her husband and asked for his opinion. She said cautiously, "We've been away for a few years. Most of the time, we've been in Binhai City. This place, what's the saying? Great people come from a place like this. Yes, great people live in this place! "
"Good Fengshui! There is wind and water! "Her husband also nodded. It was rare for them to reach a consensus.
Zhang Zian felt that if a Fengshui master heard this, he would vomit blood and die.
Aunt Li nodded approvingly to her husband. "Master Zhang, to be honest, we have been living frugally for years and have saved some money. In fact, we don't want to live like this anymore..."
Most people could understand their way of thinking. Zhang Zian was no exception. Who didn't want to have a family? Who didn't want to live a stable life? Zhang Zian was willing to reconcile with Stars Pet Chain Supermarket because he also wanted to live a stable life.
Aunt Li continued, "We want to settle down. We have been living in Binhai City for so many years. We are used to it. We don't want to go back to our hometown. " Their hometown had become their nightmare. Even if they went back once in a while, they would go back and forth like thieves, for fear of meeting the people they had offended.
Zhang Zian understood a little bit, "You mean, you plan to live in Binhai City for a long time?"
Aunt Li gave him a thumbs up, "Master Zhang, it's all thanks to you that we can settle down!"
"What? What do you mean? "He did not understand the internal logic.
Her husband was also happy. Master Zhang was still pretending to be confused. Maybe all capable people were like this?
Aunt Li said, "Because you are here! With you here, those bad guys don't dare to cause trouble! The neighbors have already spread the news! "
Zhang Zian quickly waved his hand to deny, "No, no, no, don't misunderstand. I am not that capable!"
"Master Zhang is too modest!" Aunt Li interrupted, "What is that saying again?"
Aunt Li understood what her husband wanted to say and said for him, "A good man protects three villages —"
Although he had been misunderstood, Zhang Zian was happy to hear that. I'm a man, I'm a hero. A hero should be paired with a beauty. Then, where's the beauty?
Reminded by his wife, Uncle Li suddenly remembered the second half of the sentence. He cheerfully continued, "A good dog protects its neighbors!"
Zhang Zian: "..." Motherf * cker!
He almost vomited blood! Single dogs have no human rights?
Aunt Li was also very embarrassed. What happened to eye contact? Why did this damn old man say the second half of the sentence? Wouldn't this make Master Zhang unhappy?
She quickly corrected him, "Master Zhang, don't misunderstand. This is a city, not a village!"
Zhang Zian almost vomited blood. Why did you deny the first half of the sentence? Even if he wanted to deny it, he had to deny the second half of the sentence!
In order to prevent them from making things worse, he hurriedly stopped them from continuing. "I understand what the two of you mean, but you've misunderstood. I really don't have that kind of ability …"
"Hehe, Master Zhang, it doesn't matter if you're humble, as long as those bad guys think you're that capable," Uncle Li said with a smile.
Forget it, it doesn't make sense at all.
Zhang Zian reluctantly gave up trying to explain. There would be no time to waste if he kept delaying.
"Well, you won't be leaving for now, right? I'll just walk around. If someone comes to the store looking for me, please ask them to wait, or you can call me. "
Uncle Li nodded. "We won't leave. We sell here every day until 9: 30 … Almost 10: 00. Don't worry, leave it to us."
Aunt Li smiled and took out her old-fashioned smartphone. "Master Zhang, we don't know your phone number …"
"Oh, this is my phone number." Zhang Zian gave them his phone number.
Aunt Li respectfully wrote it down.
"Master Zhang, take these and eat them on the way." Her wife gave him a small bag of shumai and a bowl of dumplings in a disposable paper bowl. She put the dumplings in a plastic bag and said that it was free.
Zhang Zian touched his pocket. He forgot to bring his wallet. He planned to pay them when they delivered the kebabs in the evening.
He waved his hand and left with the shumai and dumplings. Aunt Li and her husband watched him walk away.
The green space was clearly very close to the back of the shop, but if he wanted to get there, he would have to walk half the street, turn at the crossroads, enter an alley, and then walk in the opposite direction for more than half the distance of the street. Wouldn't that be a pain in the ass? So Zhang Zian thought that if it was appropriate, it would be convenient to open a back door for the pet shop while it was being renovated.
The wind was cold in the morning. He was afraid that the shumai and dumplings in his hands would get cold, so he walked very fast, almost jogging. He didn't slow down until he walked into the alley and the wind calmed down.
The alley was not too narrow, at least enough for a car to pass, but it couldn't be parked. Once parked, the road would be blocked. Most of the residents in the alley were old people. There were also some young people who rented here for the cheap price. There were office workers and college couples. After all, this place was not far from Binhai University.
Fortunately, college couples usually didn't get up so early. Otherwise, if Zhang Zian met them, he would definitely not be able to eat breakfast. There were only a few tired-looking young office workers walking past him — just like Zhang Zian in the past.
When passing under his window, he stopped and looked up.
At this time, the window of the master bedroom was above his head. From this novel angle, it felt strange, as if he was in someone else's house.
He looked around again. If he opened a door below, it seemed that he would not be in anyone's way.
The entrance to the green space was very close in front of him. From the alley, it seemed to be a very small green space at the corner of the street, but in fact, it was quite big after entering.
The shape of the green space was not very regular. It was almost built according to the pattern of the surrounding residential areas. There were a few scattered stone benches and stone piers. The original color of the cobblestone path was hidden in the wild grass. The odd-shaped pine, cypress, pagoda, and poplar would look very strange at night.
Today, it was no longer possible to find out what this green space was originally intended for. It was most likely used as a place for the nearby elderly to take a walk. Unfortunately, the nearby residential areas had closed the side doors or back doors leading to this place because of frequent burglaries, causing this place to become deserted and finally become the field it was today.
Zhang Zian stood at the entrance to the green space and looked around. Not to mention the surveillance cameras, even the street lamps were still the most old-fashioned incandescent bulbs. Unlike other places in the city, which had been replaced with automatic solar light sensors, it was doubtful that these old light bulbs could still be lit at night …
