Plane Supermarket

Chapter 195

"Zou Ming!" The young woman stood at the bottom of the steps, holding a cardboard box in her hands, with sand on her face, and shouted to the people on the steps, "I'll get another one this afternoon!"

The boy named Zou Ming gave an indifferent "hmm", he also held a cardboard box in his arms, his body was still growing thin and tall, he was wearing a white vest and dark shorts, hooked a She has a narrow waist and her jet-black hair has already grown a little, blocking half of her sharp eyebrows and eyes, which even gives people an illusion of gentleness.

Even if he is not yet an adult, he already has the capital of an adult. The muscles of his exposed arms are smooth and firm, and every point is just right, without any excess. His shoulders are still a little thin, but he can also peek into the future. prototype.

The woman left with the box in her arms, while Zou Ming returned to the supermarket with the box in her arms.

Since two years ago, the supermarket has been managed by him, and now the employees in the supermarket are all people from the slums.

There were a lot of things that happened during the period, but generally speaking, the ending was not bad.

Zou Ming put the box back, and the employees who were loading goods carefully avoided him when they saw him. Although they worked under Zou Ming, they were all a little afraid of him, obviously Zou Ming was not yet an adult.

Zou Ming, who was feared and kept away by others, didn't care, he was used to being alone, and never thought about establishing a good relationship with anyone, even when facing Zhao Qing—he didn't like to talk to him.

"Little boss, are you going back?" a courageous employee asked before Zou Ming was about to go out.

Zou Ming: "I'll come over later."

The employee said "oh" something, and couldn't hold back a word after holding back for a long time, so he could only retreat in dismay.

Leaving the supermarket, Zou Ming walked on the small road in the middle of the slums. The slums have changed a lot, and they are not what they used to be. The iron houses are gone, replaced by concrete houses, although the conditions are still not as good as before. Staff dormitory, but anyway, the indoor temperature will not be higher than the outdoor temperature.

There are also some small stalls on the side of the road, displaying some cheap handicrafts, although few people are willing to buy them.

But the slums are no longer as dead as before, but there are still a few people with serious jobs. Every night, the slums will turn back into gold-selling slums again.

The former bosses of all parties have gone and died in the past two years, and the base has finally become Zhao Qing's voice.

Those who can spend money in the Gold-selling Grotto are also a group of capable people in Zhao Qing's hands.

This place seems to be getting better, and it seems to be the same as before, but more people from the bottom of the slums have poured into the slums.

The newcomers were not snatched. Zhao Qing no longer went out to grab resources. Base 276 had its own plantation field, which could cultivate high-yield crops. With the fertilizer bought from Ye Zhou, the production The speed is fast, and the potatoes and sweet potatoes are also big.

Zhao Qing also bought a lot of broilers to raise, as well as pigs. Although there were a lot of them, they were not that many. Although Zhao Qing built three reservoirs, he was still very economical—letting the people at the bottom save.

He himself can fill a swimming pool with water for recreation, but raising livestock is enough for him not to die of thirst. Raise a little less, enough for himself and his confidants to eat. It is considered a luxury of tenderness for the bottom-level people not to die of thirst. .

But generally speaking, in this worse world, Base 276 is already a standout. At least when you come here, you can find work, have food and water, and if you really can’t find a job, you can survive by prostitution.

It is obviously a place to eat people, but because of the peers, it looks like a paradise on earth.

Materials were provided by Ye Zhou, labor was done by low-level people, and Zhao Qingan sat on the clouds, enjoying the fruits of other people's blood and sweat.

Before Zou Ming walked out of the slum, a dark figure ran out from the alley next to him.

He stopped, and the shadow immediately hugged his legs.

Zou Ming looked down at this charcoal-like child, like a stray dog. He gave this child a piece of bread and has been entangled ever since. Whenever he passed by, this child would come and hug him, as if determined Zou Ming would not kick him away.

No matter how young children are, they have survival instincts and know how to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages, just like small animals.

"Not today." Zou Ming said almost cruelly.

The boy still hugged his leg, as if he didn't take out something, the boy could keep hugging like this forever, forever.

Zou Ming stretched out his hand and pulled the boy away from his lap, ignoring the boy's pleading eyes, striding forward.

He doesn't have a lot of kindness, at least not so much as to be spilled at will.

The boy retreated into the alley immediately after Zou Ming left.

Zou Ming walked to the inner city.

The inner city has changed more than the slums. Those broken windows have disappeared and replaced with intact tempered glass windows. Almost every household has solar power, air conditioning and humidifiers.

People walking on the road are also wearing decent clothes, without patches, which are very close-fitting, and you will never see people who have holes in their clothes and still wear them out.

"Zou Ming." Someone greeted Zou Ming.

Zou Ming looked at the man, and nodded slightly as a response.

Fortunately, people in the inner city are used to Zou Ming's weird temper, knowing that he treats everyone like this, even when facing Zhao Qing, he will not change his repulsive temperament.

"That kid really doesn't know what kind of luck he got." Seeing Zou Ming walk away, the person who greeted him sneered at the people next to him, "He's not a big man, he has a big temper."

The person next to him twitched his lips: "I still live with the supermarket owner now, it's so big, when the boss gets tired of it, he will cry."

"If you ask me, he won't end well in the future. It's not shameful to hang out with a group of low-level people. He runs to the slums during the day."

They laughed a few words, and they both felt that the other's words were so sour that they could squeeze out water, and after looking at each other, they tacitly stopped talking.

Who in the base doesn't want to be Zou Ming?

Someone taught him how to read, led him to do business, gave him what he wanted, even if he didn't ask for it, even his own parents couldn't do this, but Zou Ming was not the son of a big man, and he was just a poor man in the slum. A brat who can't get enough to eat.

No envy, all envy.

Zou Ming didn't hear what they were talking about, and even if he heard it, he wouldn't feel it. After five years of listening to it, even if he cared about it, he was now immune.

Going upstairs, Zou Ming opened the fingerprint lock, opened the door and saw Ye Zhou drawing in the living room as soon as he entered.

A year ago, Ye Zhou said that he wanted to cultivate some hobbies for himself, so he decided to draw after thousands of choices. Although he has no talent, he can at least draw a circle.

"Are you back?" Ye Zhou poked his head out from behind the drawing board and looked at Zou Ming, "Are you hungry? There is something to eat in the kitchen. I found a kind of instant rice noodles. It's good. You should try it too."

After speaking, I sat back and continued to draw.

Zou Ming changed his slippers, looked around and asked, "Where is Sarah?"

Ye Zhou colored the apple without raising his head: "Go out to play."

Zou Ming frowned, but he didn't say anything, but went to wash his hands first.

Zou Ming came out after washing his hands, and Ye Zhou stopped painting. He still struggles to draw a still life. Every time he finishes painting, he always feels that there is something wrong, but he never admits that it is a problem with his color perception. It must be a problem with the tutorial. .

"This tutorial doesn't work either." Ye Zhou retreated to the sofa, looked at his masterpiece from a distance, "I want to change the tutorial."

Zou Ming also went to watch it together. He didn't understand why the red apples were surrounded by blue.

Ye Zhou sighed: "The environment is not good."

"By the way, how is the business these few days?" Ye Zhou asked, "Have you encountered any trouble?"

When Zou Ming first took over the supermarket, he encountered lazy workers. He felt that Zou Ming was young and thin-skinned and easy to bully.

At first Zou Ming didn't stop them, they intensified under Zou Ming's connivance.

Zou Ming didn't act until he couldn't bear to look down on the employees.

It's just that it's too easy to drive out, and it seems that there is no cost for it.

Zou Ming threw them out of the base after they aroused public outrage, no matter what they did to them, other people would have no objection.

This is sending people to die directly.

But because he didn't personally kill those two people, many people in the slums thought he was gentle.

People in the slums selectively forget that there is no water and sunshade, and ordinary people can't even survive two days without the base.

But Ye Zhou didn't stop Zou Ming's approach. He didn't plan to raise Zou Ming into a little white sheep, and he couldn't raise it either.

The environment here can't accommodate a good person. As long as Zou Ming doesn't become like Zhao Qing, Ye Zhou won't interfere too much.

Zou Ming shook his head: "No trouble."

Ye Zhou wanted to touch Zou Ming's head, but remembered that Zou Ming was getting older, so he changed his route and patted Zou Ming's shoulder. Umbrella, don’t be afraid of trouble, even if you don’t have an umbrella, you still have to apply sunscreen, and if you leave it in the sun, it will turn into black charcoal.”

Zou Ming said "Yes", he didn't care about his skin color, but Ye Zhou's skin color was fair, so he didn't want to be too dark.

Otherwise, standing together would be like what Ye Zhou said, black and white are impermanent.

"If you want to rest for two days, just tell me." Ye Zhou, "I'll help you ask if anyone is willing to take over."

Since Zou Ming took over the supermarket, Cao'er and the others have returned to the original supermarket. Living in a dormitory is definitely better than living in a base, especially if there are relatives in the dormitory. Only Ye Zhou basically stays here with Zou Ming.

Five years have passed, and Zou Ming also knows that Ye Zhou is full of secrets.

Sarah hasn't grown a single centimeter, let alone a centimeter, for so many years. She is exposed to the wind and sun every day, and Chen Shu has no wrinkles on her face.

Including Ye Zhou, the time on them all stagnated.

And everything around them is still moving forward.

Zou Ming saw what was in his eyes, but he didn't ask anything, he was afraid that if he asked, all the beautiful things would disappear in an instant like a balloon being punctured.

He would rather be a blind man who doesn't know anything than lose everything.

Zou Ming shook his head: "No, there's not much to do in the supermarket, I'm busy."

Ye Zhou: "You don't have to work so hard. The days ahead will be long. It's not a good thing to push yourself too fast,"

Ye Zhou looked at Zou Ming when he was talking. The fifteen-year-old boy is already 1.7 meters six. Ye Zhou is not satisfied with his own height. I have always reported my height after wearing shoes to others, and firmly refused to admit that my height without shoes is my real height.

But Zou Ming is 1.8 meters nine, which is still a clean height, and he can be over 1.9 meters in shoes.

In addition, he has a well-proportioned body, has muscles, and looks very handsome. He is not a bamboo pole, and Ye Zhou was envious and jealous before.

Ye Zhou's parents are not tall, his mother is 1.6 meters 1.7, and his father is [-] meters [-]. It is already impressive that he can grow this size, but compared with Zou Ming, he still feels unbalanced.

He was raised by Ye Zhou for all these years, and was required by Ye Zhou to sleep for eight hours a day. Zou Ming's face is not as sallow as the people in the base. Even Zhao Qing's face is also waxy. Yellow always makes people feel that he has kidney deficiency.

Taking advantage of the fact that he was still taller than Zou Ming, Ye Zhou hugged Zou Ming's shoulders intimately, and just as he was about to speak, Zou Ming also turned his head away without warning.

Because Ye Zhou leaned over slightly, the height difference between the two was smoothed out. At this time, the tip of the nose was facing the tip of the nose, and the lips were facing the lips. There was a difference of five centimeters before they could kiss.

Ye Zhou froze. He subconsciously wanted to back up, but Zou Ming leaned forward.

Ye Zhou put one hand on Zou Ming's shoulder and opened the distance between them with brute force. Just as he was furious and was about to teach Zou Ming, Zou Ming suddenly said, "I'm sorry, I just A little unsteady."

Ye Zhou: "..."

He took a deep breath and told himself that Zou Ming is now the age of a rebellious child, and he can do anything out of the ordinary.

"Be careful in the future." Ye Zhou said expressionlessly.

Zou Ming let out a "hmm", he lowered his head, looking a bit pitiful as if he had been abandoned.

After raising Zou Ming for so many years, Ye Zhou couldn't ignore Zou Ming's expression every time he saw him, but at this moment his own brain was in a mess, and after thinking for a long time, he could only choke out one sentence: "You are too young gone."

Zou Ming looked at Ye Zhou, and Ye Zhou realized that he had made a mistake, so he said, "You were raised by me."

Zou Ming clenched his fists, but he still looked calm and pitiful. He nodded, "I know, without you, I wouldn't be where I am now."

Ye Zhou breathed a sigh of relief. He began to believe that Zou Ming's actions just now were careless.

That's normal bumping.

"I'll get ice cream, and I'll get you one too." Ye Zhou walked towards the kitchen.

Zou Ming looked at Ye Zhou's back. He raised his head, seeing that his fragile and pitiful appearance disappeared the moment he looked up. He looked at Ye Zhou's back eagerly like a hungry wolf or a wild dog.

He doesn't know what love is, but he has placed too many emotions on Ye Zhou. Countless emotions are intertwined, and under the nourishment of time, he has become a colossus, which cannot be described with a single emotion.

Zou Ming only knew that he belonged to the person in front of him, and he also thought that this person could completely belong to him.

Ye Zhou, who came back with ice cream, looked at the poor Zou Ming who was sitting on the sofa with his head bowed. After passing the ice cream, Ye Zhou said, "You are still young, and you don't know how you feel about yourself. What do you want, wait until you are an adult before thinking about dating."

After walking around the kitchen, Ye Zhou was still ready to chat with Zou Ming.

The matter between him and the adult Zou Ming is another matter.

But now this Zou Ming is still in the immature stage.

Children at this stage will put all their abundant emotions on love.

Ye Zhou didn't want him to be inducing Zou Ming.

Zou Ming remained silent, and Ye Zhou continued, "And I..."

Zou Ming looked at Ye Zhou, and Ye Zhou smiled at him: "It's nothing, anyway, remember, you are not the time to think about these things at this age."

The conversation between the two ended without a problem. Zou Ming only listened but didn't respond. No matter how seriously he listened, Ye Zhou felt that he didn't take it seriously.

What can I do if the child is disobedient?You can't beat me up, can you?

When Zou Ming was young, he was not a character who could be obedient after being beaten, let alone now.

"Has Zhao Qing been looking for you these days?" Ye Zhou changed the subject.

Zou Ming shook his head: "He has other things to do now."

Zhao Qing lived a life of delicious food and drink, and no one could threaten his rule, so he completely let go of himself, showing the characteristics of a "faint king". His figure was blown up like a balloon, and he liked high oil and high sugar High-salt food, a height of just over 1.7 meters, and a weight of almost three hundred catties.

In addition to eating, he has several wives.

There are more than 20 servants alone, and they only need to serve him every day.

And he never tires of toying with the servants.

His wife also has a time limit, and she will be laid off in a week.

But occasionally he would make trouble for Zou Ming, probably because the employees around Ye Zhou were almost gone, so he didn't make things difficult for Ye Zhou, but Zou Ming had his own influence in the slums, so he couldn't sit still.

Ye Zhou: "What's the matter?"

He hasn't dealt with Zhao Qing for a long time, and he doesn't know Zhao Qing's recent movements.

Now that Ye Zhou doesn't look for Zhao Qing, Zhao Qing won't look for him either.

Zou Ming: "He wants to attack Hongtian Base."

"Hongtian base has groundwater."

Ye Zhou said "oh", but he also knew why Zhao Qing was going to fight Hongtian instead of having a good life.

With someone who can improve the soil under his command, as long as he finds a source of water, he can completely get rid of the cooperation with Ye Zhou.

Ye Zhou: "Do you think he will succeed?"

After all, the adult Zou Ming never told him about this before coming here.

After a moment of silence, Zou Ming replied: "No, Hongtian's people are more united than his people."

Hongtian has not had a good time in the past two years, and has gradually increased his contact with 276, which gave Zhao Qing a chance to find out about them, but Hongtian is different from 276, it is a base with distinct levels, but more humane than 276 .

At least Hongtian's boss will protect women and children.

Although this is based on the need for women to have children, the children grow up to become labor forces.

But at least in Hongtian, women and children can still have some dignity.

It can only be said that Hongtian won a little bit in the bad match with 276.

Ye Zhou: "Maybe."

Ye Zhou was not very optimistic: "If he really wants to fight, he will definitely let you out."

Zou Ming raised his chin slightly. There was no expression on his face, but there was a fierceness that could not be ignored, but the fierceness flashed by, as if it had never existed. He said softly: "I don't have any People are all employees, and those who have signed the contract are not sold to me as slaves."

Ye Zhou smiled.

Zou Ming doesn't need to deliberately win over people in the slums, but all the people in the slums will move closer to him.

The people in the slums are poor, but they are not stupid. They know that it is impossible to follow Zhao Qing even if they want to. Only by following Zou Ming can they have a chance of getting a job, not to mention that Zou Ming is now a small supermarket owner.

He is indeed powerful, he is indeed rich, and he can help people in the slums.

The people in the slums have no choice but to follow Zou Ming.

The fake tiger skin that Ye Zhou pulled for Zou Ming back then has finally turned into a real banner.

The two sat on the sofa for a while, and when Zou Ming was about to go back to the supermarket, there was a knock on the door.

Zou Ming happened to be at the door, he opened it, and saw He Yue wearing a mask with an anxious face.

"Something happened!" He Yue grabbed Zou Ming's wrist, "Follow me!"

Zou Ming frowned and glanced back, only to find that Ye Zhou was already putting on his shoes.

Zou Ming: "..."

He Yue was a little scared to see Ye Zhou, but it was urgent, so she could only stand in front of the door and quickly said: "Zhao Qing, Zhao Qing arrested Feng Shitou, said Feng Shitou stole his things, and will execute him!"

Ye Zhou did know who Feng Shitou was.

As Zou Ming’s diehard, Feng Shitou’s parents were rescued by Zou Ming. Although it was not a medical rescue, it was Zou Ming who gave him a job and his salary in advance so that he could buy for his parents. medicine, water and food.

The grace of saving lives is to save the lives of his parents. Although Feng Shitou is 20 years older than Zou Ming, he is willing to die for Zou Ming.

Ye Zhou didn't ask Feng Shitou if he really stole Zhao Qing's things. He had met Feng Shitou several times and had spoken to Feng Shitou as well.

He was a clumsy man with a mischievous face, but a very simple and honest personality. He didn't look like a good guy, but he was a really rare good guy in the base.

Even if he has the heart to steal, he doesn't have the guts to steal.

Ye Zhou felt that he had a good eye for people, and he didn't believe that Feng Shitou would steal things, especially Zhao Qing's.

The people in the slums have seen it through, not enough to live.

"Zhao Qing is going to attack you." Ye Zhou said as he walked.

Zou Ming's eyes were steady: "He has been looking for opportunities."

Ye Zhou: "He won't let him go easily, he will definitely ask you to exchange it with someone else."

The veins on Zou Ming's forehead twitched slightly.

Ye Zhou's tone was relaxed: "Do you want me to talk to him?"

After dealing with Zhao Qing for so many years, Ye Zhou already knew how to deal with him.

But Zou Ming rarely interacts with Zhao Qing, the two don't say they have a harmonious relationship, they just look at each other differently.

Zou Ming shook his head: "No, I'll go talk to him."

Ye Zhou: "Is there anything that needs my help?"

Zou Ming turned his head and took a deep look at Ye Zhou. He had a lot to say, but in the end he only said one sentence: "I can think of a way, I can't rely on you forever."

When Ye Zhou heard these words, he felt sad and moved.

The child grows up and does not need a "father".

"Okay." Ye Zhou said, "Then I won't go in with you, I'll wait for you outside."

Zou Ming: "It's hot outside, you go back, I won't be able to talk to her for long."

Ye Zhou was worried: "You're still young."

Zou Ming: "..."

In Ye Zhou's eyes, he seemed to be a child forever, the child who had to look up to see Ye Zhou's face clearly.

But he is no longer a child, and he doesn't want to be a child in Ye Zhou's eyes anymore.
