Chapter 119 Meeting colleagues

Alfred drove the car excitedly. He really wanted to go home and find the cat and dog at home to do an experiment;

No, it’s not an experiment, it’s just going through a process and going through a formality;

He wants to prove his "loyalty" to the young master,

Prove to the two pets who is truly qualified and stand in the second row with a smile on your face!

However, this impatience needs to be suppressed for the time being, because he cannot go home directly yet, and the young master needs to buy clothes.

But what surprised Alfred was that the young master did not choose to buy it at the clothing store in the city center. Instead, he first asked himself to drive towards the Lanqiao community. After he was almost out of the city center, he instructed himself to turn to the west. , here, there is a clothing center, which is a small shop with a lot of people and the working class people.

It's hard to say whether it's good or not, but the price is definitely cheap.

"I remember passing by here on the Aleye bus that day."

"Master, do you really need to buy clothes here?" Alfred asked.

"Well, it's convenient to buy clothes here."

Alfred could only follow his young master and walk inside.

Karen did not choose a store, but walked directly into a store near the entrance. Looking in from the window, she could see that the clothing inside was quite rich, focusing on men's clothing.

"Please come in."

Seeing someone approaching, the woman took the initiative to open the door. What surprised Karen slightly was that she had purple hair.

Venn had a slave trade in history, and "eat" a large number of slaves, providing sufficient labor for Venn's industrialization. Even now, there are a lot of illegal immigrants coming in every year, and they generally have purple hair. ;

The last time Karen came down from York Harbor, she saw a large number of malnourished purple-haired laborers working on the port.

They generally cannot obtain citizenship and belong to "black households". Not only do they have an underground social status, but they also suffer from racial discrimination.

Even if this woman just opens a small clothing store here, she is already doing very well in her group.

The woman is wearing a gray sweater and black trousers, very conservatively dressed, but because of her plump figure, even if she wears loose clothes, she can still show off her inner roundness with a little movement.

Her face is not white and tender, and has traces of wind and frost. She should be in her thirties, but her voice is a little hoarse, and there are obvious traces of cracks on the back of her hands. Even though it has healed now, there are still ravines that cannot be healed. This is a symbol of suffering.

"Help me choose two sets of clothes, casual ones that fit well."

"Yes, handsome sir."

The female boss immediately picked up the clothes rail to pick out the clothes hanging on it, but Karen stopped her and said:

"No need for the pretty ones with ordinary colors, thank you."

"Huh?" The female boss glanced at Karen curiously.

"As long as it's the same color as the clothes you're wearing," Karen said again.

"Okay, okay."

The female boss quickly chose two sets, one was brown and the other was blue, both casual styles, one was the same gray sweater as she was wearing, and the other was a white turtleneck sweater.

"Is there a fitting room?"

"Yes, yes, inside, follow me."

Karen followed the female boss to the back room. There was a bed in the back room. Lying on the bed was a paralyzed man. Judging from his skin color and hair color, he should be a Wein native. There was a little mixed-race girl next to him. Sit on a blanket and play with toys by yourself.

One way for immigrants to obtain citizenship is to marry locals and obtain citizenship through marriage;

The fitting room is in a small separate room with a mirror and a bed.

"May I help you try on clothes?" The female boss stretched out her hand to help Karen undress while talking.

"Please go out for a while, thank you."

"Oh well."

The lady boss backed out.

Karen tried on the clothes alone. The clothes fit him well and still looked handsome on him, but they didn't have that sharp and delicate aura, or in other words, they weren't as heavy.

The reason why Karen comes here to buy clothes is really not because she wants to help Piaget save money, but because when facing customers, when customers communicate with you, their eyes will naturally stare at your clothes and shoes. ;

At this time, if you can let them find that your clothes are very ordinary, even cheap, they will feel "relieved" in their hearts and will not have so much resistance.

If you are wearing a famous brand and sitting in front of customers with great delicacy to communicate, it is easy to give customers an invisible pressure, which is not conducive to the discussion of the disease.

Considering the location and grade of Piaget's clinic, as well as the number of people in this era who are willing to spend money to see so-called psychological problems, in this money-worshiping era, he can relax when he sees you wearing clothes that are not as expensive as his own. You can be comfortable and calm.

Of course, it can't be too outrageous to pretend to be a beggar and go to work.

After trying it on, Karen put back on her own clothes, and when she came out, the paralyzed man had fallen asleep face-down.

The little girl who was playing with toys on the ground was peeling off the paper of a gummy candy and putting it into her mouth. When she saw Karen coming out, she walked over with a smile and held up a gummy candy and handed it to Karen:

"Brother, eat candy."

"Thanks."

Karen took the jelly candy and walked out of the room. The female boss took the initiative to greet her. Karen asked:

"How much?"

"I'll do the math." The female boss started to calculate, she kept scanning Karen and Alfred on him, and said, "It's 1241 reals in total, I'll give you a discount, 1200 reals How about it?"

Karen smiled and said, "It's too expensive."

"It's really not expensive. Look at the material, it's all good material."

"I do not want it."

Karen turned around, opened the door, and was about to leave. Alfred turned and walked out.

"Hey, hey...don't go!" The female boss reached out and grabbed Karen, "You tell me a price, and I'll sell it if I don't lose money."

"120 reals," Karen said.

"It's a loss." The female boss begged, while shaking Karen's hand with her hand. Her hand was very rough, with a slight frost effect, which made Karen feel a little stinging.

"forget about it."

"Just a little more, a little more."

"If you can't add it, if you can't sell it, I will leave."

The female boss gritted her teeth and stomped her feet, saying:

"Okay, I'll treat you as a friend and make a deal!"

Karen signaled Alfred to give the money. Since he had Afu by his side, Karen no longer put money in his pocket. In addition, his savings were also placed with Afu, and he was not worried that Afu would greedy.

Alfred took out his wallet, and instead of giving money in a hurry, he said to Karen: "Master, I also buy two sets?"

Karen glanced at Alfred, this guy who always pays attention to the exquisite taste of his clothes, he almost never leaves his suits. When he was in Luojia City, he wanted to change a few sets a day to correspond to the morning sun, evening dusk and stars in the night;

"You don't need it, I need it for work."

"No, no, no, I think it is still needed." Alfred pointed to the clothes that the female boss was holding, "Wrap these first, and then take that one, that one, and that one off , I'll try it on."

"Okay, okay."

"Master, I'll go in and try it on."

"Um."

Karen really wanted to refuse, thinking that you, a guy who buys clothes worth thousands or even tens of thousands of rupees without batting an eye, now buys clothes worth tens of rupees and still has to go to the fitting room?

But he was embarrassed to interrupt Alfred's interest. From leaving Luojia City to Wayne, Alfred has been giving and helping himself, and he can't deprive him of his greatest hobby now.

"Please sit down." The female boss brought Karen a bench.

"Thanks."

Karen sat down on the bench.

"You don't seem like someone who would buy clothes here." The female boss chatted enthusiastically.

Karen smiled and said, "The family is bankrupt."

"Eh..." The female boss was at a loss for words, but she immediately changed the subject, "Are you married?"

"No."

"I have a suitable girl to introduce to you. Do you want to see it? A very beautiful and clean girl who can do housework and is very hardworking."

Karen felt that the proprietress should also work as a "marriage agency" part-time, but her "intermediary" meant changing citizenship.

"I have a fiancée," Karen replied.

"Oh, what about him?" The female boss pointed inside.

"He's married," Karen said.

"Oh, what a pity."

Karen thought that the female boss would stop the conversation, but she asked again:

"You said your family was bankrupt?"

"Um."

"Then will your fiancee dislike you and not be with you?"

Karen frowned slightly, why has he been inseparable from this "bridge" recently?

Seeing Karen frowning, the female boss mistakenly thought she was right, and immediately said:

"I have several girls of the right age that I know here. You can choose them. Are they willing to suffer with you?"

"No need." Karen waved his hand.

"Why do you still have illusions about unrealistic love? You are deceiving yourself and others and you can't get out."

"..." Karen.

"Look at this one in my family. After marrying me, I gave birth to a daughter for him. He is paralyzed, but I have always been with him and taken care of him. This is a responsible wife, isn't it?"

"You are very responsible," Karen said, "but I really don't need it, thank you."

At this time, a girl came over with a big box in her arms, and the female boss immediately opened the door to welcome her in:

"Aunt Michelle, this is today's wool." The girl said as she put the things on the ground.

The girl is not very old, probably around sixteen, the clothes on her body are a little shabby but clean, and her complexion is a bit dark, but it gives people a very refreshing feeling.

"look."

The female boss took the girl's hand to show Karen;

The girl is very generous. Although she was a little overwhelmed by being dragged, she still naturally bowed to Karen:

"Hello, sir."

"Hi." Karen nodded to her.

"Her name is Xili, she is a hardworking and down-to-earth girl, look at her butt..."

"Snapped!"

"Do you want to touch it? With this physique, it is absolutely no problem to have children."

"Aunt Michelle!" The girl was shy.

"Stand still, don't you seize the opportunity, do you really want your brother to be eligible for school by your parents marrying that lame man in his fifties?"

Karen could only spread his hands and said sincerely:

"Mrs. Michelle, I think you really misunderstood. My fiancée and I have a very good relationship, and my wife's family is going to sponsor me to start over."

Alfred, how long do you have to try on clothes!

Hearing this, the female boss sighed helplessly.

"I believe that your fiancée must be very beautiful, because you are very handsome." Shili said to Karen with a smile, "Your fiancée must be a good match for you."

"Thank you." Karen smiled at her, "You are beautiful too."

Finally, Alfred came out from the inside:

"How much are these two sets?"

The boss hesitated for a moment, and offered the price: "150 reals."

"No, how can I buy it more expensive than the young master."

"Okay." Karen stood up, "pay the bill."

Mrs. Michel immediately said: "A total of 270 reals."

"Give 300," Karen said, "and the rest will buy candy for the children."

"thank you."

After paying the bill, Alfred carried the clothes and Karen came to the parking spot, put the clothes on the rear seat first, and Alfred sat in the driver's seat and started the car:

"Master, our family needs to hire a maid."

"oh?"

"I usually need to go out with you, young master, to protect the safety of young master. Although there is a cat and a dog in the house, it is impossible to expect them to clean up, right?

Even cooking, young master, you can't do it all by yourself, just do it when you are interested, and young master, you will go to work tomorrow. "

"Okay, you arrange it."

"Just wait until Aleigh comes back, let him accompany me to buy the car first, and then let him accompany me to find the maid.

Now I feel that it is really wise for the young master to invite the Alaye family to dinner. When living in a new place, one is definitely needed. "

"Um."

Karen closed her eyes, preparing to squint for a moment.

His current basic salary is 10,000 reals. Not surprisingly, his performance should not be lower than this. This income is enough to maintain a decent life.

After all, you don't have to pay off your mortgage.

But as soon as this idea came out, Karen still felt a little guilty; but after thinking about it, the loan price for buying a house by herself was less than half of what she expected, and the pressure on her uncle and aunt should have eased a lot.

According to the income of the Inmeles Funeral Society, the problem shouldn't be too big, and it's not like letting Uncle Mason go to the pier to carry bags in order to repay his loan.

With this in mind, Karen's heart immediately became much smoother.

"Beep beep..."

A car blocked the road ahead, and Alfred honked the horn to urge him, but the car in front did not move.

"Hey, look, young master, is the one in front a hearse?"

Karen, who was squinting, opened his eyes and found that the car in front of him seemed to be a modified hearse.

Beside the car, there were two thin men who were pushing a stretcher. Even though the board was put down in the rear compartment of the hearse, the two men couldn't push it up.

"Go down and help."

Karen unbuckled his seat belt, pushed the car door, and got out of the car. The moment he closed the car door, Karen suddenly wanted to laugh. Was he "itchy"?

Walking forward, Karen found that the "guest" lying on the stretcher was huge, tall, and fat. Even though he was lying down now, after the white cloth covered his body, there was still a clear gap in the middle. Round belly "convex".

This is the favorite guest of the crematorium owner and the most hated guest of the funeral home owner.

"I'm sorry, sir, we'll drive away right away." At this moment, a red-haired young man apologized to Karen. He thought Karen got out of the car and came because they were blocked.

"Pike, try harder."

"Yes, Dincombe!"

"Come on, come together, one, two, three!"

The two very thin jobs worked together again, but the "guest" still couldn't deliver.

Karen opened his mouth and reminded: "Let someone pick it up first, and pay attention to the angle of the stretcher wheels." Immediately, Karen beckoned to Alfred, "You go up to pick it up."

"Okay, master."

Alfred jumped onto the hearse and grabbed the upper end of the stretcher.

"You push hard below, I will support the 'guest' to prevent him from sliding down, listen to me, come on, push hard!"

"Bang!"

Finally, the stretcher was successfully pushed up. In fact, it was mainly due to Alfred's relatively strong strength. After all, after seeing Alfred's behavior, Uncle Mason had the idea of ​​firing Ron.

"Thank you, sir, thank you very much." The red-haired Dingcomb took out a pack of cigarettes that were somewhat squashed, and handed the most complete one to Karen.

"You're welcome." Karen smiled, "I don't smoke."

Alfred also rebuffed: "I don't smoke either."

Peak started the car first, pulled the car aside, got off again, and walked over with a few bottles of soda:

"Don't smoke, drink soda."

"Thank you." Karen took the soda and took a sip, "Well, it tastes like citric acid."

Alfred also took a bottle, and just as Alfred was about to go back and start the car with the soda, Peake shouted embarrassingly:

"Well, the bottle is for me to refund the deposit."

"haha okay."

Just like that, the four of them sat on a pier by the side of the road, drinking soda together.

"Sir, aren't you afraid of corpses?" Dincombe asked curiously.

"They're just guests," Karen replied. "It's no different than guests in a restaurant."

"Oh, yes, cheers to our guests today and to the two gentlemen who are helpful!" Pique raised his glass and shouted.

Everyone touched the soda bottle together.

"Are you two alone in the car?" Karen asked. At home, there was basically one driver and two assistants.

"The boss originally came out with us, but he got off the car and went to find the lady halfway. We will take him back after we pick up the customers. Our lady boss is very strict with the boss," Pique said.

"So that's how it is."

Pique drank the soda first and placed the soda bottle on the ground in front of him.

Alfred finished his drink too and placed the bottle next to the first bottle.

Dincom also finished drinking and placed the bottle behind Alfred's bottle. The distance between his bottle and Alfred's bottle was almost the same as the distance between Alfred's bottle and Peake's bottle. , the three bottles present a right angle.

Then, Karen, who was the last to finish his drink, noticed that Peake and Dincom were looking at him;

Karen thought in her mind: Are these two obsessive-compulsive disorder patients?

After forcing himself to finish the last sip of soda, Karen placed the bottle in his hand in a position where the four bottles formed a "square" shape.

After putting the bottle down,

Dingcomb clenched his fists: "Yeah, it's comfortable!"

Pique laughed and said:

"Praise for order!"
