Chapter 470: Do something big!
At twelve o'clock in the evening, a layer of mist enveloped the whole city. The lights on both sides of the old street were looming in the mist, like a pair of dark yellow eyes, staring at the pedestrians on the street at night .
The renovation of the pharmacy basement is finished.
People from the cleaning company came and thoroughly cleaned the basement after the renovation was completed.
The basement floor now no longer looks like the dark and messy place it once was.
The surroundings are covered with warm yellow stickers, the ceiling is equipped with an alloy ceiling, three separate temporary rooms are isolated, and there is also a large hall, which is like a three-bedroom, one-living room apartment located underground.
"Yeah, it feels like home!"
Yi Mo smiled, entered one of the rooms, and fell on the soft bed with a thud.
Her soft, dark red hair was spread out, gleaming in the light, like a layer of dark red silk flowing on the surface of the bed.
The room is not big, but it has everything you need.
In another room, the old lady Wu Hongyu nodded slightly without saying anything. She must be quite satisfied.
Shen Yu also arrived at her room. The decoration and furniture were similar to those of Yi Mo's room. The overall tone was warm yellow. Although it was underground without natural light, it still gave people a warm and comfortable feeling.
At this time, Yi Mo's smiling voice came from the room next to her: "Sister Shen, how about we sleep together tonight?"
"No way! Ah Mo, you kicked the quilt when you sleep!" Shen Yu pouted and refused.
"Hey, can you tie me to you? Then you don't have to worry about me kicking the quilt?"
“…”
At this time, Su Xia was on the ground floor, settling the wages of many workers who had been busy all night.
Just as he said before, five times the wages, paid on the spot, there will be no shortfall.
The workers showed gratitude and thanked Su Xia one after another. They were very lucky to have met an employer like Su Xia who was not short of money and was very generous.
After a hard night's work, everyone was hungry.
Just then, across the street, the aroma of barbecue came with the wind.
The aroma, a mixture of cumin, chili powder, oil, onion, etc., is like an invisible big hand, arousing everyone's appetite and making them salivate.
“Gurgle gurgle…”
Several workers' stomachs started to growl immediately, causing everyone to burst into laughter.
In the restaurant opposite, Lan Bafu's eyes were shining. He held a small fan in his hand and kept fanning the oven in front of him.
The charcoal fire under the oven was dark red, the air was slightly distorted, and on top of the oven were sizzling steaks. The fat on the surface of the golden steaks kept bubbling, and the aroma was so rich that one couldn't wait to pounce on it.
At the side, in front of Hong Bafu was also a charcoal grill, on which were spread strings of fragrant lamb skewers.
The skewers of meat have been roasted and are yellowish brown in color. They are brushed with a thick layer of spices and underneath are drops of crystal clear mutton fat that sway gently in the wind, as if they are about to fall into the charcoal fire.
"When will we eat?"
Hong Bafu kept swallowing his saliva. If he hadn't been waiting for the others, he would have started chewing on them one string at a time.
The round table in the restaurant was filled with bottles of room temperature beer.
Boss Zhao was directing several employees to carry more beer out of the warehouse, one box after another. The other party was in the corner of the restaurant.
"Master Su, food is ready anytime!" He turned around and shouted to Su Xia in the pharmacy.
"OK."
Su Xia took a look at the ingredients and drinks, and nodded with satisfaction.
He turned around and walked back to the basement, where he found Yi Mo and Shen Yu.
"You two, we have a midnight snack, are you interested?" Su Xia asked.
"Yes!" Yi Mo smiled gently, "I've been trying to gain weight recently, so I have to eat more. Thank you, Master Su."
"Okay, it's just across the street, you two can come anytime."
Su Xia greeted her and then went to ask the old woman Wu Hongyu.
As expected, Wu Hongyu refused and had no interest in it.
She glanced at Su Xia and said calmly, "Aren't you very curious about why I look so young and in my sixties but still look like I'm in my forties?"
"I understand. Eat a light diet, follow a regular schedule, and take medications to help," said Su Xia.
"That's good to know."
"Well, I won't disturb you, Auntie. Go to bed early."
After saying that, Su Xia slowly stepped back and walked towards the stairs.
In the eyes of elderly people like Wu Hongyu, eating greasy midnight snacks and drinking beer at night are probably behaviors that damage the body and shorten life.
Su Xia understands what these elderly people are thinking.
After returning upstairs, he waved his hand and called everyone to come over.
"Thank you all for your hard work tonight. I'll treat you to a meal. Don't be polite." He said to everyone with a smile.
"Thank you, Master Su!"
Su Jianshe laughed out loud, his voice bright and clear.
After being so busy until now, even he felt a little hungry.
The aroma of barbecue from across the street wafted over all the time. It would be a torture if I couldn't eat in the middle of the night when I was hungry.
"I'll go over and take a look first."
Su Xia said something, and then went to the restaurant first to ask the two old brothers and Boss Zhao about the preparation of the ingredients and meals.
In the pharmacy, Su Jianshe waved his hand and asked all the workers to wash their hands and faces.
At this moment, a worker stopped Su Jianshe, looked hesitant, and asked in a low voice: "Boss, this is not good, right?"
"What's wrong?" Su Jianshe turned his head and asked him.
"Master Su is of noble status, how can he eat with us?" the worker whispered.
"Yes, Boss, how about we go back first?" Another worker also spoke up, rubbing his rough hands subconsciously, "We are all dirty now, and our clothes are covered with dust. We haven't even washed them yet, which will inevitably affect Master Su's appetite."
"What kind of words are you talking about?"
Su Jianshe glared and said, "Master Su doesn't even dislike me, but you guys dislike yourself instead?"
"No, it's just...we brothers are a little uncomfortable with it." The other man said after hesitating for a while.
"Why don't we pack it up and take it home?" suggested the worker next to him.
"Why pack it up? If you're not used to it, try to get used to it!" Su Jianshe looked at the group of workers under him and wanted to say something more, but he felt helpless.
As the director of the Coral City Construction Department, he had been helpless too many times over the years and finally got used to some things.
This city was built by countless hard-working workers. They should have been objects of respect, but now they have become the lowest group of people. Even they themselves dare not raise their heads to look at this city.
"Don't say anything, it's just a meal." Su Jianshe said in a tough voice, "If you don't go, you are not giving me face, okay?"
Finally, at his repeated request, the workers followed him to the restaurant across the street.
Su Xia could immediately see the restraint on the workers' faces, and also saw the helplessness in Su Jianshe's expression, which made her feel a little more emotional.
The world needs a radical change that breaks down all existing order.
As the wheel of time rolls forward, there will always be some people who stand at the forefront and become the makers of the new world order.
"Everyone, be casual. We are all family tonight. There are no outsiders."
With a sincere smile on his face, Su Xia took a bottle of beer, flicked his thumb and opened the beer cap with a snap, then casually handed it to a worker.
The worker was stunned at first, then hurriedly wiped his hands on his body, slightly bent his waist, and carefully took the beer from Su Xia.
He showed a flattering smile on his face and said humbly: "Master Su is really amazing. I have to use my teeth to bite open this beer cap."
"It's nothing special, I just got lucky."
Su Xia spoke gently and patted his shoulder gently.
Just this one slap made the worker's body tremble and his face expression changed a little.
Seeing this, Su Xia didn't know what to say. She could only sigh in her heart, and then gave Su Jianshe a look.
Su Jianshe understood what his neighbor meant and immediately began to invite the workers to get food and drinks. Although he also had a high status, he had been dealing with these workers for a long time and was familiar with them.
"Eat up, Master Su said we are family, why are you being polite? If you continue to be polite, I won't be polite anymore!" He smiled heartily, picked up a bottle of iced beer and took a sip himself.
With him taking the lead, the atmosphere in the restaurant suddenly became lively.
The lively atmosphere began to drive away all the awkwardness, restraint, etc. that shouldn't have existed.
The brothers Hong Bafu and Lan Bafu could not wait any longer and did not care about their noble status as pharmacists. They scrambled for the barbecue with everyone else and ate until their mouths were full of greasy food, as if they had not eaten for several days.
Most people who don’t know would think that Su Xia often doesn’t give them food and abuses the two brothers.
"Eat slowly. If you eat too fast, you will feel full easily."
Su Xia smiled as she watched the two brothers eat.
Soon, Yi Mo and Shen Yu also joined the dinner, with beer in one hand and barbecue in the other. They also didn't care much about their image and were very relaxed.
More than a dozen children were also there, each getting some barbecue.
Su Xia doesn't allow them to drink and is strict about this aspect.
During the meal , Zhao Xiaobai's eyes were always on Su Xia. He opened his mouth several times, as if he wanted to say something but didn't have the courage to speak.
Su Xia looked calm. He had noticed the kid a long time ago and knew that he wanted to talk about his private teaching in the slums.
Su Xia didn't mind this. Instead, she admired the child's loyalty and loyalty.
The slum is a place that cannot be described in words, dirty, dilapidated and barren. Too many negative words can be used to describe it and the people living in it.
Once many people leave, they will never choose to go back and will try their best to cut off all ties with the slums.
For them, life in the slums is a nightmare.
They didn't want to go back to that sad nightmare.
But Zhao Xiaobai went back.
That place was also a nightmare for him.
But he didn't want to escape, he wanted to face it and use the rest of his life to transform that place into a beautiful dream, so that future children would take a different path.
Everyone’s life is different. Even if they have similar childhood experiences, they will eventually take different paths and become different people.
"Xiao Bai, just do what you want." Su Xia said gently, "You don't have to tell me everything. You are not young anymore, and you know whether your path is right or wrong."
"Thank you, teacher." Zhao Xiaobai was shocked and excited, and nodded vigorously.
Su Xia did not deny it, which showed her support for him.
On the side, Yi Mo, who was drinking heavily, saw Zhao Xiaobai, and suddenly raised an arc at the corner of his mouth. He walked over and said with a smile: "Oh, what a handsome brother, is your name Xiaobai?"
"Yes, I do."
"Xiaobai, is my sister pretty?"
"pretty."
"Where is this sister?" Yi Mo pulled Shen Yu over and asked with a smile.
"She's beautiful too." Zhao Xiaobai answered honestly with a simple look on his face.
"Compared to this sister, who is prettier, this sister or this sister?" Yi Mo blinked and raised a global problem.
"this……"
Zhao Xiaobai scratched his head, his face turned a little red, and he didn't know how to answer.
After a while, his face became redder, but he still couldn't think of an answer, so he could only look at Su Xia for help.
Then, Su Xia just shrugged and let him think about it himself.
"Oh, Master Su, aren't you too irresponsible as a teacher?" Yi Mo asked with a smile.
"I am only responsible for teaching knowledge and I don't care about anything else." Su Xia said calmly.
"Master Su, if it were you, how would you answer?" Shen Yu moved closer and asked curiously.
"It makes no difference. All I have in mind is the potion."
Su Xia looked calm and said slowly: "Besides that, everything is false and fleeting."
"Okay..."
Yi Mo curled his lips.
This answer immediately blocked the two people's next words and even ended the topic.
Zhao Xiaobai looked at Su Xia with admiration, and his admiration for Su Xia deepened again, so deep that it could not be described in words.
As expected of a teacher!
How could he not have thought of such a simple and effective answer?
Zhao Xiaobai secretly made up his mind that in the future he would not only learn Su Xia's knowledge, but also learn Su Xia's words and deeds, and learn everything about Su Xia.
Not long after, Su Jianshe came over with a bottle of wine and talked to Su Xia about the progress of the school project.
At present, the main part of the teaching building has been completed, and the faculty and staff building and the student dormitory building are still under construction, but the completion date is not far away. The laboratory building, gymnasium, library and other projects will still have to wait for some time.
Overall, everything is in order.
The entire school project will be completed in at most another month.
By then, as long as new students from all over the country enroll, Su Xia will have the title of "Principal".
Su Xia was not very interested in this title, because every time he heard the word "Principal", he would always think of a historical figure who liked to micromanage.
"Master Su, don't worry, the entire project will be completed with quality and quantity guaranteed!" At the end of the conversation, Su Jianshe gave the guarantee.
Then he left, carrying a bottle of wine, and went to chat with the workers.
As soon as he left, a dialog box popped up in front of Su Xia. It was a private message from her roommate Li Defu.
"Brother Su, how many hidden poisons do you have here? It would be best if they are rare and extremely lethal." Li Defu typed this message in the dialog box.
"What's wrong? Are we going to fight with some big organization again?" Su Xia asked.
Sijidao is in trouble now, and there is instability within his team. At the very least, he has to keep quiet for a few days and there won't be any trouble recently.
In today's Coral City, there should be no player team that dares to provoke Li Defu and others.
If you are not a player, you can only be a native of this world.
"Hey, Brother Su, we are indeed going to have a fight."
The dialog box flashed and Li Defu quickly replied to the message.
"We're going to do something big!"
