Another week passed in the blink of an eye.
Since its opening, Lei Ma Studio's business has been getting better and better day by day. It’s not about luck, it’s about craftsmanship. No one can give a definite answer to how good Xia Lei's skills are, but anyone who comes to him can leave with satisfaction. There is an old saying that goes well, good wine is not afraid of deep alleys. Although the location of Xia Lei's Thunder Horse Studio is not good, as Xia Lei's reputation spreads further and further, business will naturally come one after another, even without advertising. .
Zhou Xiaohong also started to learn crafts, such as welding and lathe processing. She has no foundation and only graduated from junior high school, but her brain is easy to use. She only needs Xia Lei and Ma Xiaoan to explain many things to her, and then she can understand them by practicing them. With her diligence and eagerness to learn, both Xia Lei and Ma Xiaoan believe that it won't be long before she can take over some simple tasks.
After a long day of work, Xia Lei and Ma Xiaoan were both exhausted and sweating profusely. Looking at the pile of processed parts in the carton, Xia Lei and Ma Xiaoan smiled at each other. It’s a bit tiring, but worth it!
"I'm so tired, Lei Zi. Let's go have a barbecue tonight. I'll treat you." Ma Xiaoan wiped his sweat with a towel. The oil on his face stained the towel, and the white towel suddenly became dirty. .
Xia Lei smiled and said, "Okay, but I'm here to treat you." In the past few days, he had received another seven or eight thousand yuan in net income, and he was happy. This little money is definitely not as good as the money he won in the Macau casino, but he can use it safely and feel more satisfied.
Zhou Xiaohong came over with a washbasin, neatly wrung out the towel soaked in water and handed it to Xia Lei, while saying: "Boss Lei, wipe your face."
Xia Lei took the towel handed by Zhou Xiaohong, wiped his face, and then said: "Xiaohong, you can go too tonight, I'll treat you to a barbecue. Also, don't call me Boss Lei anymore, call me Brother Lei Zi will do."
"Okay, Brother Lei Zi." Zhou Xiaohong looked very happy, "I want to eat grilled chicken wings, sausage and beef, is that okay?"
Xia Lei smiled, "Of course, you can eat whatever you want."
Ma Xiaoan joked: "Xiaohong, you are so delicious, why don't you gain weight?"
Zhou Xiaohong raised her lips and said dissatisfiedly: "Brother Ma, you are kidding me again. I am from the mountains. There is no barbecue in our place. I ate it once when I was in junior high school, but I have never eaten it until now." .”
Ma Xiaoan's mouth has always been smooth, but he stopped talking now. He would not joke about Zhou Xiaohong's poverty.
"Wait for me while I wash my face. I don't want you to go out with a tabby cat." Zhou Xiaohong didn't notice the change in Xia Lei's mood. She was still so happy.
Xia Lei looked at the Jiefang shoes on her feet and suddenly said: "Xiaohong, we have been busy working these days and have not taken good care of you. Don't take it to heart."
"I..." Zhou Xiaohong thought she said something wrong and suddenly became nervous.
Xia Lei patted her shoulder and said with a smile: "Go and wash your face. Then Xiao An and I will take you shopping. The barbecue will be postponed. Let's go buy some clothes for you first, um, and shoes. "
"No, no, you are good enough to me, how can I still ask you to buy me clothes? I, I get my salary and buy it myself." Zhou Xiaohong said.
Xia Lei said: "You wear these shoes all day long, don't you feel smelly?"
Zhou Xiaohong was immediately embarrassed, and her apple-like face turned red. She subconsciously moved her feet back, but she couldn't hide them.
Xia Lei said with a smile: "Go, go, it's still early, you can still take a shower, Xiao An and I will wait for you outside."
Ma Xiaoan also said: "Go, go, we will take you to the mall to buy beautiful clothes and shoes. When you come back, you will be a beautiful woman."
"Well..." Zhou Xiaohong's eyes turned red, and she turned around and ran towards the inner room.
"She is a good girl." Xia Lei said.
Ma Xiaoan said: "I'm going to see if the water heater is good."
Xia Lei slapped Ma Xiaoan on the back of the head, "Be honest with me. Xiaohong is a kind and honest girl. Don't bully others. Also, she is not suitable for you."
Ma Xiaoan looked at Xia Lei with innocent eyes, "Then what kind of woman is suitable for me?"
At this time, a coquettish woman with heavy makeup walked through the door. She had big white legs, bulging forward and backward, and her small waist twisted around when walking, which was very attractive. Many men were looking at her, but she dismissed them and was not even interested in taking a look. She was very arrogant.
Xia Lei said with a smile: "Did you see it? This kind of woman is suitable for you."
Ma Xiaoan's eyes immediately fell on the modern girl's buttocks, and he couldn't move away.
Xia Lei also stood beside him and looked at the modern girl. Looking at beautiful women is what every man likes to do. With just a little appreciation, he suddenly saw more content. The beautiful scenery appears in the eyes, the beads are round and round, plump and straight. He can see the scenery that other men have worked hard to see with just a glance. This feeling is really refreshing.
After watching too much, he felt uncomfortable somewhere in his body. Xia Lei withdrew his gaze and patted Ma Xiaoan on the shoulder, "Xiaoan, remember, only such a proud woman is worthy of you. "
"Then I'll take another look. Her butt is so sexy, haha!" Ma Xiaoan chased after her. He whistled at the back of the modern woman.
The modern girl turned around and shook her middle finger at Ma Xiaoan.
Ma Xiaoan was not angry at all, but smiled, looking like a bitch.
A red polo car suddenly stopped on the road in front of Lei Ma Studio. The car door opened, and Jiang Ruyi, dressed in uniform, stepped out of the cab.
Seeing Jiang Ruyi, Xia Lei suddenly remembered the incident that made him jump into the Yellow River and couldn't wash it away. He squatted behind the pillar next to the door and said to Ma Xiaoan: "If she comes to me, tell me Not here."
"What's going on with you?" Ma Xiaoan looked curious.
Xia Lei glared at him, "Stop asking, just do as I say."
At this time, Jiang Ruyi had already reached the door of the store.
"Sister-in-law..." Ma Xiaoan then changed his words and said, "Isn't this Jiang Bureau? What kind of wind brings you here?"
Jiang Ruyi rolled her eyes at him, "Stop talking glibly to me, or I'll get you into trouble. Where's Lei Zi?"
"Leizi, he's not here." Ma Xiaoan secretly glanced at Xia Lei, who was hiding behind the pillar.
Jiang Ruyi pushed Ma Xiaoan away, walked directly behind the pillar and caught Xia Lei, saying at the same time: "Are you guilty of being a thief? You don't even dare to see me now?"
Xia Lei smiled bitterly and said, "No way, I just tied my shoes."
Jiang Ruyi snorted, "I've watched you grow up, and I can tell at a glance when you're lying."
Xia Lei, "..."
"But don't worry, I'm not here to pursue that matter this time."
Xia Lei secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "Then what are you here for?"
Jiang Ruyi said: "A vegetable seller hit my car with his tricycle. I haven't paid for it yet. I'm almost going crazy. The car door is dented. Please help me fix it quickly."
Xia Lei and Ma Xiaoan walked to the side of the road and took a look. Really, the door of the Polo car was dented quite a bit.
"Hurry up, I'm in a hurry to go to the bureau for a meeting." Jiang Ruyi urged.
Xia Lei said: "I don't have spray painting equipment here. Even if I help you pull up the dent, you still have to go to the car repair shop to spray paint."
Jiang Ruyi said: "Of course I know I have to go to the car repair shop to spray paint, but if you help me pull up the dent, they will make it cheaper." Then she urged: "Hurry up, sister is still in a hurry. There’s a meeting.”
Xia Lei looked at Ma Xiaoan, "What are you still doing? Why don't you help Jiang Bureau get it done?"
Ma Xiaoan muttered: "You are so arrogant even if you don't pay me, do you really think you are the boss's wife?" He complained, so he dragged a welding machine, lowered the voltage, and used the welding rod to pull up the sunken area bit by bit. .
While Ma Xiaoan was working, Jiang Ruyi pulled Xia Lei aside, leaned into his ear and said, "Do you still remember the fingerprints?"
Xia Lei suddenly became nervous.
"The results of the comparison are coming out soon. Don't you want to say something?" Jiang Ruyi said.
Xia Lei couldn't laugh or cry, and didn't even know what to say.
"It's done, Director Jiang, you can drive away." Ma Xiaoan said.
Jiang Ruyi reached out and pinched Xia Lei's waist, "I'll settle the score with you later. I'm leaving first."
Xia Lei and Ma Xiaoan stood on the side of the road and watched Jiang Ruyi get into the car, then watched Jiang Ruyi drive away, and finally disappeared from sight before looking at each other.
"Leizi, it seems she didn't give any money, right?" Ma Xiaoan said.
Xia Lei said angrily: "Why don't you ask her for it?"
Ma Xiaoan looked at Xia Lei, "You don't need to be so cruel if you want to harm me, right? Are you asking her for money? You might as well kill me now."
At this time, Zhou Xiaohong walked out of the room, her black hair wet. She was still wearing the same dirty clothes, but the underwear underneath was changed into clean ones, and she also put on a pair of white socks on her feet. She looked at Xia Lei and Ma Xiaoan timidly, "I'm ready, can we... go?"
Xia Lei said with a smile: "Let's go shopping!"
The three of them closed the door and walked along the sidewalk. The afterglow of the setting sun fell on the three of them, creating a picture of youth.
"Xiaohong, what kind of clothes do you like? I'll help you choose them later." Ma Xiaoan said.
"Jeans, white T-shirt." Ma Xiaohong said.
"That's so tacky and doesn't fit in with the current fashion trend. Let me help you pick out a miniskirt. You'll look so beautiful in it." Ma Xiaoan encouraged.
Zhou Xiaohong shook her head like a rattle, "It's so ugly, I won't wear it."
"Leizi, tell me, what clothes do you want to buy her?"
"This..." Xia Lei thought.
Zhou Xiaohong said: "I will wear whatever Brother Lei Zi buys for me."
"Ah? Why?" Ma Xiaoan was unhappy.
Zhou Xiaohong said: "Because Brother Lei Zi is a good person and he will not lie to me."
There was a burst of laughter on the road, and this laughter was also full of the flavor of youth.
