"Hello."
"Murong, I'll have hot pot here in the afternoon, do you want to come?"
"No."
"My sister Tongtong said, you can eat whatever you want, and I want to treat you to a meal."
"Why?"
"I want to thank you for bothering you at your house for so long."
"I take it, you are the roommate I recruited, and she is just staying here for a few days, nothing."
…
"I've been decorating the store and building fire exits these days, so I'm very busy... Thanks."
"okay, I get it."
Sang Tong took a look at Sang Yu. He was still in high spirits just now, but after making a phone call, he became sluggish. He thought clearly, "Murong isn't coming?"
Sang Yu gave a muffled "Yeah": "She said she took the favor, and she's busy recently so she won't come here."
"Oh? What is she up to?"
"Shop renovation, building fire exits."
Sang Tong nodded: "Forget it, you and Su Sifang go out to buy vegetables, and let her carry them for you. In the afternoon, we will eat hot pot as usual. By the way, we will buy a small pot and cook some vegetables for Su Sifang."
"good."
After the two left, Sang Tong made a call: "Turn me to the Sanyang City Fire Command Center, the commander-in-chief's office..."
In the next few days, Sang Yu "ran into" Mu Rong from time to time, and took back all the things she "leaved" at Mu Rong's house one after another.
The process lasted for a month, and Sang Yu had no reason to "visit" Mu Rong anymore.
On this day, Murong invited firefighters to inspect the safe passage.
Two team members took out a ruler and measured in Murong's shop for a long time: "The fire exit is unqualified and cannot be opened. Continue to rectify it."
"I built it according to the specifications I asked before. May I ask what is unqualified?"
The two looked at each other, and one of them replied: "The sign for the safe passage is not on."
"Does that mean I can open the business after I hang up the signboard?"
"Let's rectify it first, and we'll come back again when it's done, and we can only open if we make sure it's qualified."
"okay, I get it."
Murong didn't suspect him, so he turned on the computer that he hadn't used for a long time, and ordered a few safety signs for fire escapes.
After the goods arrived, she installed the sign on it herself, and called the traffic police team again.
The fire commissioner arrived soon, and as last time, took a ruler to measure in Murong's shop, and checked the fire escape.
"Where's the floor plan of your store?"
"The front and back of this shop are combined, and the backyard and warehouse are less than 300 square meters. Only the front door is allowed to enter and exit, and the back door is for employees. It is connected to the small yard. Do you still need a floor plan?"
"Is this your business place?"
"yes."
"It's a business place that needs it!"
…
"Let's rectify it again, post the floor plan, and then contact the team."
"good."
The firefighters are off again...
Murong sighed softly, and rode a bicycle for forty minutes to the furniture market and hired a draftsman to draw a floor plan for himself, printed and sealed it in color, and hung it in a conspicuous place in the shop.
Firefighters visit for third time…
After measuring in Murong's shop: "We calculated the area of your shop just now, and it exceeds 300 square meters. One fire escape is not enough, so we have to build another one."
"Does the backyard count as an area?"
"Calculate!"
"Does the lawn count?"
"...Yes, let's rectify it. The specification is the same as the previous one. At the back door, build a fire exit."
…
Two firefighters walked a long distance, and one of them said, "Old Wu, I think this little girl is pretty. Who do you think she offended?"
"How do I know? Anyway, the superior has issued a deadly order to prevent this shop from opening. What can we do? Continue to find fault."
"Hey... If they build another fire exit, what can we say? This is already too much, thanks to this little girl's good temper, if you encounter someone who is impatient and sue us, you won't even sue us. A certainty!"
"Next time? I won't come next time. Whoever likes to come will come. I'm really embarrassed to make things difficult for the little girl. Bullies are never bullied like this. Look how good this girl is. She has never quarreled with us. Just a word, do whatever you want, I'm really embarrassed."
"How about we react to the above..."
"Let's go back to the team and talk about it."
Sang Tong was reading in the living room when the phone rang: "Hello?"
"Leader, I'm the captain of the fire brigade, and I'm responding to a situation with you..."
After listening to the other party's words quietly, Sang Tong couldn't help laughing: "Next time she comes to you, let her open."
The other party was amnesty: "Okay, thank you leader."
Sang Tong hung up the phone and was still smiling. The fire chief reported Mu Rong's reactions several times.
I didn't expect that there were such honest people in the underworld, they didn't ask the specific reasons, they didn't take bribes, they didn't complain, and they followed the rules to the point that they didn't know how to change them.
Thinking about it, the smile on Sang Tong's face disappeared, and his heart became heavy: This also means: Mu Rong is extremely difficult to win over.
This person not only regards the rules as his life, but also lacks the emotions of normal people.
From a certain point of view, this is very similar to Su Sifang, the difference is: Su Sifang's tolerance comes from detachment and compassion, while Mu Rong's "tolerance" comes from the indifference in his bones.
Seeing through life and death, and her identity as a ghost, there are too few things in this world that can touch her.
Sang Tong's fingers moved rhythmically like waves, and the four fingertips hit the coffee table one by one.
There are waves of crisp "click" sounds.
She thought for a long time, got up and went out, and knocked on the door of 403.
When Sang Yu heard the knock on the door, she put down her drawing board and ran all the way to the door.
"Sister Tongtong, what are you doing?"
"I have something to do with Murong. It seems that she is not at home. Do you know where she is?"
Sang Yu replied without thinking: "It should be in the shop!"
Seeing Sang Yu like this, Sang Tong, who had already made a plan, fell into hesitation and weighed for a long time: "Then I'll go to her shop."
"me and you togather!"
"Let's go."
…
"Murong!"
Mu Rong was discussing the drawings with the foreman of the construction team, when he heard Sang Yu's voice, he turned around and said, "Why are you here?"
"I have something to do with you, can you take a step to talk?"
"Come to the backyard."
…
"What's up?"
"I'm going to open a feng shui shop in Shanyang City. After looking at it for a few days, I think your location is the best."
Seeing that Murong didn't speak, Sang Tong continued: "Look, your place is so close to the only funeral center, there must be many people who need to see the feng shui of the cemetery, and it's also close to my house, I wonder if you would like to divide the shop Give me half? The price is negotiable."
"I don't want to."
Sang Tong smiled, looked into Mu Rong's eyes, and asked suddenly: "How long has it been since you saw your mother?"
Sure enough, a trace of displeasure flashed across Murong's usually cold face: "What's none of your business?"
"Give me half of the store, and I'll let you see your mother, how about it?"
"Impossible, my mother... always impossible."
"It's in Tiewei Mountain, right?"
Murong pursed his lips and said nothing, his deep eyes flashed sullenly.
"This year's Hungry Ghost Festival, I will definitely fulfill my promise."
After Sang Tong finished speaking, he raised his chin, looking confident and sure about winning.
Murong thought for a while, and softened his tone: "I'm afraid it will be a while, my shop is not qualified for fire protection, and I can't open it yet."
The corners of Sang Tong's mouth trembled, he suppressed his smile, and said to himself: Does this person have no suspicion that someone is behind the scenes
"What is the reason for the failure?"
"The area exceeds 300 square meters, and two fire exits are required to be installed."
"It's easy to handle. If you give me half of the shop, wouldn't it be less than 300 square meters?"
…
According to Sang Tong's suggestion, the shop can reopen as expected.
The happiest thing is Sang Yu. When the shop was being renovated, she would help in the shop every day. After the shop opened, she volunteered to help in Sang Tong's shop.
Sang Tong couldn't hold her back, knowing what she was thinking, she had no choice but to agree.
In this way, Murong's paper-making shop was divided into two, and two plaques were hung on the gate, "Feng Shui Zhai" on the left and "Paper-making Shop" on the right.
Sang Tong's "too troublesome" shop has not been divided inside, and the two shops each occupy half, so the fire inspection is still "passed".
In a blink of an eye, it is April, and the Northeast has also reached the season when grass grows and warblers fly, and everything recovers.
Murong's business has always been booming, after all, there is never a shortage of dead people in this world.
On the other hand, on Sang Tong's side, the business is extremely deserted.
It's not that there are no customers, but that when they saw Sang Tong's young face, they left hesitantly.
Sang Tong doesn't care about this, he still comes to work cheerfully every day and leaves work at the same time as Mu Rong, never absent.
On this day, a group of "special" guests came to Murong's shop.
Two middle-aged couples, with two young people, a man and a woman, one of the couples looked very sad, the woman was supported by her husband, sobbing softly.
As for the other couple, the expressions on their faces were a little embarrassed.
"Boss, is the boss there?"
"Please wait a moment." Sang Yu, who served as a tea girl and a volunteer, ran to the backyard and called Mu Rong.
"I am the boss, what do you guys need?"
"It's like this. Our daughter has passed away. She is twenty-five years old this year. What do you need for a funeral? Give us the best set, and she wants to look good."
"May I ask, is it a normal death?"
The voice fell, and the middle-aged woman who had been sobbing changed to crying loudly: "My daughter, why is your life so hard, the wedding is going to be held on May 1st, how can there be an accident when taking a wedding photo! You let How does mother live... ”
