Just near dusk

Chapter 7

When Li Wenjia arrived at the hospital, Mo Xuyou had already tidied up. Although his face was still a little pale, he was at his age after all, and he looked much more energetic after one night.

"You don't have to worry about things in this store when you go home and rest until the summer vacation." Li Wenjia comforted Mo Xuyou: "It's just a good time for you to take advantage of this time to review your homework, so as not to fail the exam in a month's time."

Mo Xuyou was about to say something, but was interrupted by Li Wenjia: "Don't say anything wrong to me, boy, the matter is settled like this. I will pay you first when I go back to the shop."

"Yeah." Mo Xuyou looked at Li Wenjia's chauvinistic appearance, and nodded along the way in cooperation. His obedient and obedient appearance once made Li Wenjia think that this was his true face. However, after these two days of turmoil, a The image of the little fox has been deeply rooted in his heart, but Li Wenjia compares himself to a tiger in the mountains, and always feels that the little fox still needs his protection.

"Xiao Mo," after returning to the store, Li Wenjia took out an envelope and handed it to him, "This is your salary for this month, you take it first."

Feeling the thickness, Mo Xuyou obviously felt that it was a little too much. He knew that Li Wenjia had good intentions, but he couldn't accept it calmly, "Brother Li, I only get what I deserve, and besides, the hospitalization fee this time is all yours." How could I have the nerve to take more."

"That's enough, boy, what are you being polite about? You are the one who started the business of this store. What's the matter? I've met your brother. He definitely needs more care. You, go back and buy him some delicious food." Yes, don’t talk about other nonsense.” Li Wenjia patted him on the shoulder, and promised: “I guarantee that the store will not be corrupted for more than a month, Xiao Mo, you can rest assured.”

Mo Xuyou was amused by his words. Before he knew it, he found that he was with Li Wenjia, and his personality was much more cheerful. Even though the past life was full of darkness and pain, now a sun comes by your side, making you happy. He couldn't help being grateful to life for meeting such a good person.

Afterwards, Mo Xuyou temporarily left the barbecue restaurant. Li Wenjia suddenly felt that there was not enough manpower. Little Mo didn't feel it before, but now he realized that he couldn't keep up with six hands.

In desperation, Li Wenjia recruited three more boys. For the convenience of calling, he called them Xiaobai, Xiaohei, and Xiaozong.This time, although there are enough people and the business is not bad, but for some reason, the income of the whole store is so much lower than before. However, Li Wenjia is not a meticulous character. If there is no harm to the root, I am too lazy to pursue it.

But there is one more strange thing, Li Wenjia is too busy to get a chair during the day, and it is almost time to go to bed after washing and cleaning at night. The time is so full, he still feels empty in his heart, and always feels a little less What, probably since Xiao Mo left, no one chatted with him, and no one tossed him with weird ideas. Everyone was busy with their own things, turning around like a wind-up bird every day. Jin rested on their own.

"Ah," when the shop was closed after a busy day, Li Wenjia took a stride, and stopped when he was covered in sweat. He picked up a bowl of water and drank it.

"Brother Li," a familiar voice sounded, and Mo Xuyou opened the door with a smile on his face and walked in. Seeing that his complexion was ruddy, he was full of energy, and even his body was getting stronger, Li Wenjia knew that this month was finally worth it. On rest.

"You boy," Li Wenjia patted him on the shoulder, "Why did you get a little fatter after leaving the store, as if I didn't let you eat meat?"

"Hey," Mo Xuyou was rarely embarrassed, "This month's final exam finally made my body relax, so I'm going back to the store to lose weight."

"Oh," Li Wenjia sighed, and said with some emotion: "When I was young, I couldn't eat when I was asked to recite books. You are good, and your appetite improves after studying. It's not like what the tabloids said, treating books as spiritual The food is eaten."

"Xiao Yu sees each other, good and bad coexist, and if something happens, I just move my mouth. At the critical moment, I still have to rely on Brother Li." Mo Xuyou borrowed the slope to get down the donkey, and blurted out compliments.

"Putting up!" Li Wenjia was very happy to be coaxed by him. Although he said this on his mouth, his heart was as sweet as honey. He felt that this kid was really good, no wonder he would get [-]% off when he went out to buy.

"That depends on who you are dealing with. You can't stop people from telling the truth just because the facts are like this." Mo Xuyou fought back and forth with him a few more times, praising Li Wenjia so that his whole body glowed red, reflecting this The big house seemed to be shrouded in the brilliance of the setting sun, every speck of flying dust was filled with indescribable happiness, and every piece of dark tiles illuminated Li Wenjia's silly smiling face.

After all, Li Wenjia has always relied on narcissism when he grew up, because in his impression, apart from being praised as a calf, no one really told him so seriously that you are excellent, you Great or something like that.

This sudden first time made Li Wenjia hesitate for a while. Such a big man stood still and laughed for nearly 10 minutes. It can only be said that no matter what age people are, when they get the encouragement and approval that they have never expected, Will be happy like a child.

While Li Wenjia was still savoring the aftertaste, Mo Xuyou had already read through the account books of these days, and he could clearly see that something was wrong, but looking at the innocent Li Wenjia, his mind couldn't help turning a corner. Asked: "Brother Li, has business become bad these days?"

"No, it's the same as before, but I remembered it when you said that," Li Wenjia watched him flip through the ledger, and mentioned

To: "Anyway, I feel that the profit is much less. Did I recruit three new people, but these three children are still apprentices, and the monthly salary is not much."

"That's it," Mo Xuyou said, and continued to ask casually: "Brother Li, how are Ah Fa and Ah Cai doing recently? They don't seem to be in the store at night."

"The two of them didn't know what happened at night. They ran away after work. Who knows, they probably went out to the wild, and they were listless during the day. It's a bit strange." Li Wenjia scratched his head, and he could only think of this.

"It's okay, Xiaoman is going to receive a training these two days, and I happen to stay in the store more, anyway, it's summer vacation, so I can be busy." Mo Xuyou stretched, "Brother Li, I'll take these account books back to read Look, I'll bring it back to you tomorrow."

"Anyway, you remembered it before. If you are polite, take it." Li Wenjia waved his hand, showing the momentum of throwing his hands away from the shopkeeper.

Mo Xuyou carefully packed it into his schoolbag, and went home before it was dark.

And Li Wenjia stretched his waist, thinking that tomorrow will be another beautiful day.

Needless to say, since Mo Xuyou came back, the business has really improved a lot, and the net profit has doubled. This makes Li Wenjia feel that this child is really a lucky general. If Mo Xuyou is not willing, He really wanted to make a statue for him and put it at the door of the store every day for offering, and those three little apprentices had grown up a lot with Mo Xuyou, and they even had the ability to share a piece of work, which made Li Wenjia happy to give each of them a statue. All raised their wages.

However, Ah Fa and Ah Cai made Li Wenjia feel a little worried. He hadn't noticed it before. Later, Mo Xuyou mentioned a few words to him intentionally or unintentionally. He found that these two boys always slipped from work and never saw each other at night. Not seeing anyone, he yawned during the day, and always collected the wrong bills. These small mistakes are not a big deal, but Li Wenjia is a little dissatisfied with the attitude of the dragon who sees the beginning and the end.

But after all, he was following his fellow countrymen, and Li Wenjia had no choice but to say a few words to them, and it wasn't a mistake that the sky was falling, and he couldn't afford to be in a hurry to get angry.

"Xiao Hei," Li Wenjia suddenly saw Xiao Hei's blushing face after the day's work was over, "what's the matter with your face?"

"It's okay, I have a fever." Xiao Hei said hesitantly.

"You fooled me. I grew up practicing martial arts. You were obviously slapped. Say, who is it? I'll fight back for you." Li Wenjia was very angry that someone actually bullied his shop assistant.

"No, no," Xiao Hei was sweating a little when pressed by Li Wenjia, but he still didn't say anything, and the redness on his face became more prominent under his anxiety.

"Xiao Hei, these are some plasters, you should go back and apply them tonight," said Mo Xuyou, who came back from the outside at this time, looking like he just went to the pharmacy.

"Thank you, Brother Mo." Xiao Hei seemed to see a savior, took the medicine and ran away as if he had been amnesty.

"Hey, you," Li Wenjia was puzzled, what is this called, and he didn't say a word even after being beaten.

"Brother Li, who do you think beat him up?" Mo Xuyou suddenly asked this question.

"The little hooligans outside must have been bullied." Li Wenjia said without hesitation.

"They work during the day, and go back to the dormitory at night. How can they have a chance to meet some little hooligans, and how dare they bully people under your nose, Brother Li?" Mo Xuyou said slowly.

"Yeah, who doesn't know me in this area," Li Wenjia rubbed his stubble, and speculated, "Could it be Xiaobai and Xiaozong? Partnering to bully him?"

"Of the three of them, Xiao Hei is the oldest. Besides, teenagers fight happily. How can they be bullied like this?" Mo Xuyou continued to deny his speculation.

"Here, who else can there be?" Li Wenjia was a little puzzled now, but he looked at Mo Xuyou's eyes, and obviously felt that he knew everything, and when he thought about what he said, he felt that there was no one left.

"Ah Fat and Ah Cai?" Li Wenjia said, and after getting Mo Xuyou's affirmation, he was a little surprised and said: "Although these two children are a bit naughty, they don't want to bully the younger generation so much. Is there some misunderstanding in it? ?”

"Brother Li, in fact, I reminded you before," Mo Xuyou continued: "Xiao Hei found out that Ah Fa and Ah Cai replaced the ingredients, so he was threatened. When I was away, I lost so much because of them. The two of them secretly made some tricks, and now that I am here, we can no longer do fake accounts, but it is still possible to make some small calculations."

"You mean, they are playing tricks secretly?" Li Wenjia said in surprise.

"Swapping ingredients secretly, misrecording accounts, and reselling in secret are not clever tactics, but if you are addicted to gambling, this hole will never be plugged." Mo Xuyou told Li Wenjia the results of the investigation in the past few days, " There's a reason why they don't come back at night, Brother Li, I can tell you where they gamble, and you can go and see for yourself."

"Can't we give them another chance?" Li Wenjia said a little bit unbearably: "It's not easy for these two children. Those who come out to work will inevitably be addicted to some bad things."

"Some mistakes should not be forgiven," Mo Xuyou seemed to have expected his attitude, and did not stop him, "Then Brother Li, just try it, but after you try it once, you should make up your mind .”

Li Wenjia looked at Mo Xuyou's meticulous thinking and decisive look, and felt that this child might be the reincarnation of Zhuge in his previous life, while he could only be reincarnated by Zhang Fei.
