I Run a Gas Station in the Northwest

Back at the gas station, Chen Mu greeted a young man in the business room: "Alekun, stop watching TV. After coming out for a while, I will ask you something."

"Come on, Brother Xiaomu."

The young man trot out quickly, with agility, like a monkey.

Chen Mu pointed to the saplings next to the gas station and asked: "When the forestry company delivered the goods, did you count it? Is the number correct?"

The young man replied: "I roughly ordered when they delivered it, and there was not much discrepancy. After they left, I ordered it again carefully, and the number was exactly the same as on the list."

"Good job!"

Chen Mu was relieved and asked, "Is the camel here? Did you give him milk?"

The young man replied: "I came here twice, but every time I wanted to breastfeed her, she left, so she didn't get it."

"So..."

Chen Mu frowned. It seems that Hu Xiaoer really recognizes people, not anyone who feeds them and drinks them. If you want to go out and do things in the future, you have to figure out what to do.

The young man saw Chen Mu not talking, and said, "Brother Xiaomu, after the saplings arrived, I saw that there were no customers in the gas station, so I planted a tree by myself for a while, not far from what you planted.

Chen Mu took a look and couldn't see clearly in the night, but his forest farm did have more trees.

"Thank you, Alekun, you did a great job."

Chen Mu must express his appreciation to the employees who work consciously. He took out fifty yuan and handed it to the teenager, saying, "This is your salary."

Then, he drew another twenty, and handed it to the teenager: "This is your bonus, because this time you really helped me a lot."

The young man was very happy, took the money, folded it carefully, and stuffed it into his pocket: "Thank you, Brother Xiaomu."

Chen Mu patted the boy's head: "Let's go, um, it's already dark, if you don't want to go back, you can stay here for one night and leave tomorrow."

"No, I'm going back. Mom is waiting for me at home, and I can still see the way now!"

The young man's tone was firm, but instead of leaving immediately, he looked at Chen Mu and stopped talking.

Chen Mu curiously asked: "Why, there is something else to tell me?"

The young man hesitated and said, "Brother Xiaomu, can I come to work with you every day from now on?"

Chen Mu looked at the young man and did not speak immediately.

The young man was called Alekun, and he was just fourteen years old.

His mother is a Uyghur woman with a congenital intellectual disability. When she was young, she was not watched at home for a while, and she didn't know which man she had a relationship with, so she became pregnant and gave birth to him.

In such a family, life is undoubtedly difficult, especially after the death of grandfather and grandmother one after another, the lives of mother and son are even more difficult.

Although Alekun was young, he had to wander outside, looking for job opportunities and supporting his family.

When Chen's father and Chen's mother were alive, they often helped Alekun and asked him to come to the gas station to help, which was regarded as a temporary worker.

This time, Chen Mu and the Uyghur old man wanted to bring tourists into the village and could not take care of the gas station. The Uyghur old man called Ali Kun again.

Seeing that Chen Mu didn’t say anything, he thought he was unwilling. He patted his chest and promised: “Brother Xiaomu, although I am young, I have the strength to work. As long as you are willing to let me work, I will work hard. No Will be lazy."

Chen Mu asked, "Then you won't go to school anymore?"

"No, no money."

Alekun’s reason is very strong and powerful.

Chen Mu thought for a while and nodded: "Okay!"

Alekun was surprised and delighted. He didn't expect Chen Mu to agree so readily. He tentatively asked, "From tomorrow?"

"Well, from tomorrow!"

"Great, thank you, Brother Xiaomu."

Alekun was so happy that he almost jumped up.

Chen Mu waved his hand: "Go, go, it's late, pay attention to safety."

Alekun agreed and trot away.

Chen Mu stood in place, looking at the young man's back, feeling a little pity.

Although Alekun’s mother is mentally insufficient, Alekun is very clever and clever. I heard that his academic performance in school has been pretty good. It is a pity that such a good seedling dropped out of school.

But Chen Mu couldn't say such things as persuading the other party to continue to go to school. He felt that at this moment, the most important thing was to provide young people with a way to live well, as long as they survived, there is hope.

Moreover, the gas station does need to add staff, because his stall is beginning to grow.

I’m not going to talk about traveling because I don’t know if it’s going to happen. I’m just talking about planting trees. It’s too tiring to work alone. Hiring a little guy to help will make the speed faster. Hurry up.

Chen Mu has actually thought about it. If he can make money from tourism in the future, he will invest more in tree planting, and he will invite more people at that time, so he recruited Alekun as a It was measured ahead.

"Well, I have to think about how to advertise travel on the Internet."

After Chen Mu entered the business room, he closed the door and began to ponder.

In the past few days, he accompanied Cheng Zijun and the three of them around the two villages. He also took a lot of photos, all of which were accumulated to be used as advertising materials.

Lying in bed and flipping through these photos, he quickly selected a dozen of them and prepared to send them to the Internet to try the water.

But when it comes to surfing the Internet, Chen Mu looked at the mobile phone without the slightest signal, and could only throw it away and sleep.

The next day, before dawn, Alekun came.

Chen Mu rubbed his eyes and opened the door, looking at the Uighur teenager with a pair of dark circles in his eyes, he couldn't help but said in a bad mood: "What are you doing so early? I was woken up by you. Tsk tsk, you did that. People thought I was a black-hearted boss who exploited you as a child laborer."

"No, but I am too happy to fall asleep."

After Alekun entered the door, he pushed Chen Mu to the back of the residential area, and said diligently: "Brother Xiaomu, you continue to sleep, I can watch here."

Chen Mu did want to continue to sleep, and after thinking about it, he said, "I will find it for you. In the future, you will bring your own key, and I will not open the door for you.

"Are you going to give me the key to the gas station?"

Alekun looked flattered, showing a pair of neat but slightly yellowed teeth.

What's the excitement, isn't it just the key?

Chen Mu didn't want to pay attention to the child, so he turned around and went back to sleep again.

After sleeping for more than an hour this time, Alekun hurriedly rushed into the bedroom and called him: "Brother Xiaomu, Brother Xiaomu, wake up."

Chen Mu was interrupted by good dreams five times, and he kissed him just now, and couldn't help but angrily said: "What's the matter, I didn't make it clear that I killed you today."

Alekun quickly replied: "Brother Xiaomu, the camel is here again."

"Oh?!"

Chen Mu woke up all at once, got up and ran to the door, and he saw Hu Xiaoer's single figure.

I haven't seen him for a few days, this guy is dirty again.

The fur that was cleaned before was covered with mud again.

The white turned to earthy gray, and it was no longer a white camel anyway.

Chen Mu thought for a while, it seemed that this was fine, it was too eye-catching when it was washed white, and it was a bit dirty, but it was low-key and connotative, and he was not afraid of being recognized.

As soon as he appeared, Hu Xiaoer immediately took the initiative to walk over, but when he saw Alekun behind him, it stopped again, screaming, and did not approach.

Chen Mu brought a big bowl and milk, and said, "Come on, drink milk first, let's talk more about it."

After the milk was poured, Hu Xiaoer lowered his head and started drinking.

Chen Mu brought Alexun to his side and introduced: "This is a small employee of our gas station. If my brother goes out in the future, he will be responsible for breastfeeding you. Just drink it. Don't be shy. Brother knows you. The skin is not so thin."

When Alekun heard the word "little employee", he immediately raised his chest, and his sense of identity and belonging to his own unit was directly exploded.

Hu Xiaoer didn't know if he understood, he didn't raise his head when he was drinking milk, and he raised his head when he finished drinking, revealing a hilarious smile.

At noon, the Uyghur old man who had taken a half-day holiday came back riding a donkey. Chen Mu left the gas station to the old man to take care of, and he led Yalikun to the forest farm to continue planting trees.

It has been three days since the saplings were bought, and it would be a bit too long if they were not planted.

Especially in such a dry and hot weather, the saplings are easy to die under the sun, so you still have to hurry up and plant them all.

Two people work together, and the speed is more than twice as fast.

One person moves the seedlings, and one person digs the pit. After the pit is dug, the saplings are placed directly in, and then filled with soil and watered.

At the beginning, the two people cooperated a little bit strangely, but the more they worked together, the better they became. At the end, planting a tree is a matter of one or two minutes, not only fast, but also not tired.

The two of them worked until the evening, and the 1,000 saplings they had just sent had already planted 700 saplings, and the rest would be planted if they were to be planted for a long time tomorrow.

Seeing that the newly planted saplings nearly doubled the green area of ​​the forest farm, Director Chen felt extremely relieved and extremely happy.

He is already thinking about finishing the rest tomorrow, and then he can go to the forestry company in Bahe Town...Well, it will be better to order directly in the future, and let them pay for the saplings and save it again. Run to the town again and again, wasting time.

When Mr. Chen planted trees today, Hu Xiaoer stayed in the forest farm. At night, he drank milk and left.

This made Chief Chen realize that Hu Xiaoer seemed to be only close to him. He would come to the gas station only when he was there, otherwise he would run to hide where he didn't know.

"It seems that our father is really destined!"

Just as Mr. Chen sighed with emotion, a blog post called "I will walk in the desert" appeared in a blog called "Simple Girl".

The Simple Girl is a big V officially certified by Microwave, with more than one million fans. Once this blog post was published, it immediately received many comments and reprints.
