Chapter 114 No one owes anyone a favor

Zuo Jingyan quickly took out the money and meat tickets and handed them to her sister-in-law:

"Sister-in-law, money, meat tickets, if you have any live fish, buy one for me."

"OK."

Li Ling agreed, took the money and walked to the back door.

"Zuo Jingyan."

Liang Chao was on duty at work last night. He came home early in the morning and wanted to sleep, but his mother kicked him out and queued up to buy meat. When he saw it, there was a long queue for all the good guys.

Just when he was worried, he saw Zuo Jingyan giving money to a woman, and then the woman walked to the back door. He quickly came over and said to Zuo Jingyan:

"Take me through the back door and help me buy some meat."

"sister in law."

Zuo Jingyan saw that it was Liang Chao. He had not repaid the favor for helping her buy a house. She asked her sister-in-law if she could help bring out an extra piece of money.

Li Ling didn't go far before she turned back and asked, "What else do you want to buy?"

Zuo Jingyan pointed at Liang Chao and said, "He is my friend and he also wants to buy some meat."

"How much do you want to buy? Too much is not enough!"

Li Ling glanced at Liang Chao. The young man looked energetic and his eyes were round and bright.

Liang Chao grinned and showed his small white teeth, handed over the money and meat tickets, and said sweetly:

"Thank you, sister. I'm sorry to trouble you. I can just buy two kilograms, preferably pork belly, nothing else. I work in a lumber factory. If you want to make some small furniture or something, just tell me. I promise to give it to you.

You do it well."

"Ha, okay, I just want to make a child's seat, the kind that is placed on the front frame of the bicycle, can you do it?"

Liang Chao patted his chest and promised:

"No problem, it's not a piece of cake. Once it's ready, I'll give it to Zuo Jingyan and ask her to take it back to you."

When Zuo Jingyan heard this, she thought that was great. No one owed anyone a favor and they helped each other.

Li Ling was elated: "Okay, wait, I will buy some meat for you."

Li Lingle went to buy meat in excitement. Zuo Jingyan and Liang Chao chatted for a few words. Liang Chao pointed to his ear:

"Zuo Jingyan, you have hurt me. Did you see my ears? My sister almost pulled them out. She said I found a competitor for her to steal her business. Do you think I was unjust or not? I don't know.

Are you buying a house to open a barber shop? My sister is unreasonable!"

Zuo Jingyan said apologetically: "I'm sorry."

Liang Chao waved his hands indifferently:

"Haha, it doesn't matter. I have rough skin and thick flesh, so it won't hurt even if I get hit twice."

Zuo Jingyan smiled. This young man is really nice. He is completely different from his sister. He may look glib, but he is actually very righteous.

When Liang Chao saw that Zuo Jingyan was silent, he laughed:

"Zuo Jingyan, I'll give you a chance to repay the favor and help me introduce a good partner. He must be good-looking, have a good personality, and have a nice voice."

Zuo Jingyan was amused: "You are quite demanding."

Liang Chao said seriously:

"Then who doesn't have high requirements for finding a partner? If I don't look for it, I will just find someone who suits my heart. It's definitely not suitable. This is a lifetime event. If you find someone you don't like, you will see an annoying picture every day when you open your eyes.

Face, I might as well be a monk! That would be so painful!"

After listening to Liang Chao's words, Zuo Jingyan thought of Lu Haoting's diary. It was really full of painful torture. She nodded in agreement:

"you're right."

The people in line protested: "Hey, don't take the back door."

Liang Chao looked at them with a smile. Why is it different between walking in the back door and watching others use the back door?

Li Ling came back soon, bringing back three portions of meat and a big carp weighing more than two kilograms.

Three portions of meat were hers, and the one she bought was fat meat that was used for oil. The one for Zuo Jingyan was the front leg meat, and the one for Liang Chao was the pork belly he wanted.

Li Ling was quite proud to help her cousin play:

"Both of you weigh exactly two pounds. My cousin never cuts meat with a second knife. There is no difference at all."

Liang Chao happily took the meat and assured Li Ling:

"Thank you, sister. In three days, I will make the child's seat for you in three days."

After he left, Zuo Jingyan asked Li Ling to take the meat and fish back:

"Sister-in-law, please take it back for me, I have something else to do."

Li Ling didn't even ask where Zuo Jingyan was going, so she took it and said, "Okay, I'll take it back for you."

After separating from Li Ling, Zuo Jingyan first went to the printing house to see if she could make it?

After making the cards, go to the four customers' homes and apologize in an apologetic manner. No matter what the reason is, it is your own fault for not keeping the promise.

Zuo Jingyan asked the street aunt that the printing house was on Erdao Street, next to the production materials store.

Zuo Jingyan said thank you. It was easy to find the printing house on Erdao Street and walked in. The old house was a bit dark. There was a porch when you entered. Walking further inside was the place where you worked. The printing machine was buzzing and printing, and the house was filled with

Ink smell.

There was a little girl greeting Zuo Jingyan at the door. When she saw Zuo Jingyan, she asked: "Comrade, what do you want to print?"

Card pattern question:

"Hello, I want to make a card, can we do it?"

"Let me see."

The little girl was wearing an old-fashioned dark shirt with a white collar and blue sleeves on her arms. She took the pattern handed over by Zuo Jingyan and looked at it before shaking her head:

"It's too complicated to do."

Zuo Jingyan came with high hopes, but was poured a basin of cold water on her head and asked tentatively:

“Can we only do font printing?”

The little girl nodded: "That's okay."

"Okay, then just keep these words. No patterns at all. The letters should be placed in the middle. The font should be thicker and darker. The words Jingyan Hairdressing Studio should be placed at the top. The address should be written at the bottom in small fonts.

A little, a little delicate, the size of the card is..."

I drew a line under the letters and Jingyan Hairdressing Studio, stated my requirements, and chose the thickness of thin cardboard.

The little girl listened carefully and nodded:

"Okay, no problem. I'll issue the invoice for you. You go and pay the money. I'll come back and pick it up in an hour."

Zuo Jingyan was very happy. The card was not as good as what she wanted, but it was good for the time being.

She made a hundred sheets first. These were enough, Ka.

Zuo Jingyan didn't leave for an hour, just waiting at the printing press. It was quite novel to see how the printing press worked at this time.

While Zuo Jingyan was waiting, she chatted with the little girl and found out that her name was Wei Lingling. She was 21 years old and was a regular worker in the printing factory. She took her mother's shift.

The little girl has a good personality, a nice voice, and good looks. She completely meets the beauty standards of this time. She has a full moon face, big eyes, thick and long eyelashes, and two dimples when she smiles.

Isn't this the standard of what Liang Chao wants? But he must first determine whether the girl has a partner, and he cannot just take it and forcefully match her.
