Chapter 194 A fight caused by a cigarette
Grandma Wang's house is in the Li family compound in the back alley.
Before liberation, this area was inhabited by royal relatives, or at the very least, nobles.
The Li family's three-story house is not considered a large mansion here. It was originally allocated for the younger generation of the family to live in.
When the war first broke out, the Li family cleverly fled abroad with their entire family, leaving behind only a few servants to look after the house.
After liberation, no one from the Li family returned, and the servants had no house deeds or land deeds. The house was naturally taken over by the government, but these servants were allowed to continue living in it as liberated slaves.
As more and more people were crammed into the house, it became a slum.
Old Lady Wang and her family were also the servants left behind by the Li family. They originally lived in the front back house, but later, seeing that more and more people moved in, they quickly occupied the house next door.
As the family's descendants grew, the two spacious rooms were converted into four or five small rooms, and bunk beds were built.
There is a place to live and you don’t have to sleep on the floor, which is pretty good nowadays.
But not every family is like the Yan family, who can live in such a big yard.
***
As the two of them walked along, people they met kept coming to say hello.
"Hey, are the young couple strolling around?"
Yan Jiuru replied with a smile: "Grandma Zhao, have you eaten yet? Come out to help digest your food?"
"Little Chen'er must be six or seven months old now, right?"
"No, not even five months yet."
Grandma Zhao and the neighbors who came out to chat after dinner were all surprised: "Wow, this belly is quite big."
When the weather was cold, everyone wore thick and bulky clothes, so nothing could be seen. Now people are wearing thin clothes, and the fourth or fifth month is when the fetus grows fast, so the belly is suddenly noticeable.
Yan Jiuru's face was full of smiles. He pulled out an unopened box of Ashima cigarettes from his pocket and, while passing cigarettes to everyone, he said proudly, "Well, this time it's another pair."
Brother Sun, who works at the bus company in the back alley, took the cigarette and said, "Oh, thank you!"
Like many men, he would not light up the cigarette immediately after receiving it, but would hold it under his nose and sniff it carefully. Finally, he could not bear to smoke it, so he held it between his ears with his backhand.
Wei Bingwen, who was also in the Li family mansion, sneered, "Why, Brother Sun, are you keeping it to carry on the family line?"
One sentence ignited the war!
"Fuck you!"
Sun Jianshe went up and pushed him, "Try to push me again, or I'll beat you up!"
Everyone in the neighborhood knows that Sun Jianshe and his wife have been married for seven or eight years and have yet to have children.
The couple went to the hospital for their entire adult life and saw countless Chinese and Western doctors, and they all said there was nothing wrong.
The more anxious I am and the harder I try, the harder it is to get pregnant.
The couple had a big fight a while ago and were clamoring for a divorce.
It has something to do with Wei Bingwen.
Wei Bingwen spat out the toothpick in his mouth, held Sun Jianshe's wrist with one hand, and said in a mean voice: "What's the matter? Am I wrong? My sister-in-law and you are like a flower stuck in cow dung..."
“Snap, snap!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he was slapped twice in the face.
It was Jianshe’s wife, Xiaofang, who rushed over after hearing the noise.
Wei Bingwen was stunned and didn't react for a while.
Sun Jianshe and everyone else were also stunned.
"Fuck—"
Wei Bingwen, realizing what he was doing, pushed Sun Jianshe away with all his strength. He nonchalantly thrust his hips towards Xiaofang and pointed at himself: "Sister-in-law, your slaps are so fragrant! Come on, hit me here!"
As he spoke, he turned his face closer.
Sister-in-law Xiaofang was so angry that she yelled at Sun Jianshe: "Sun Jianshe, if you don't beat this bastard to death for me today, you are not a man!"
Sun Jianshe was also furious. No man could stand such provocation. He ripped off his shirt and threw it far away. He rushed forward with his bare chest, grabbed Wei Bingwen by the collar and punched him in the face.
The two men soon started fighting.
Yan Jiuru quickly sent Chen Yin to a safe place far away.
"You watch here, I'll take sides."
Chen Yin glared at him and said, "Go away, it's all because of you smoking."
Yan Jiuru glanced over there and said slowly, "You can't blame others for this. Wei Bingwen deserves a beating. It's only a matter of time before he gets it."
***
Speaking of which, the Wei family was also the servants left by the Li family to look after the house.
The man was called Wei Gouzi, and the woman was a servant named Cao'er. When they grew older, the master of the Li family arranged a marriage for them, and they lived together like this.
After liberation, when the class status was being determined, Wei Gouzi and his wife were perceptive and promptly denounced the Li family's oppression and persecution of slaves. Because they had completely lost their means of production and tools and had to rely entirely on selling their labor for a living, they were classified as "hired farmers."
Not only did the government allow them to continue living in the Li family's mansion, it also arranged for Wei Gouzi to work as a gatekeeper and night watchman at a nearby school. His wife Cao'er, who used to do rough labor in the Li family, was assigned to sweep the streets.
The couple doesn't earn much, but it's enough to support their family.
No one expected that during the big movement, Wei Gouzi joined the troublemakers in the school to snatch supplies from the school warehouse. Someone hit him on the head and he died within two days.
Cao'er was pregnant at the time and was frightened and suffered a difficult labor, resulting in both her death and the loss of her life.
The remaining Wei Bingwen is also not popular.
This is probably because Wei Bingwen himself is an active member among that group of young players.
He passed the message to his father, saying that the father and father wanted to take advantage of the chaos to rob the young men and get some of the good things they moved from the warehouse.
Unexpectedly, the young players were so crazy that they directly hit Wei Gouzi in the head.
It was pitch black at the time. A dozen young men, people who tried to stop the robbery, and people who were planning to rob each other were all in chaos. No one knew who had done the attack. Even Wei Gouzi's head was cut open only after everyone had dispersed.
The person just disappeared like that.
Unexpected things happen in life. His mother was pregnant and died of fright during childbirth, leaving two lives unsolved.
Fortunately, Wei Bingwen was not young at that time and could make a living on his own.
***
The Wei family also occupied the two back rooms.
Ever since Wei Gouzi and his wife passed away, many people have been eyeing the Wei family's house, but Wei Bingwen was stubborn and refused to agree.
Moreover, he is considered an indigenous resident of the house, and the government cannot forcibly divide the house they occupy to others.
Wei Gouzi's death was not glorious and his job was not inherited. However, Cao'er's sanitation job was left to Wei Bingwen.
Don't underestimate sanitation workers. This is a job with a formal salary and a pension when you get old. They are more valuable than contract workers in many companies.
Wei Bingwen could earn 168 yuan a month in salary plus subsidies, but he no longer looked down on such a low-paying job, so he found a substitute to help him sweep the streets while he went out to do some small business.
The sanitation workers have watched him grow up, and as long as there is someone to do the work, they turn a blind eye.
Wei Bingwen has made some money from his small business in the past two years, and it's time for him to get married and start a family.
It’s not that he doesn’t want to, it’s just that his parents’ genes are not very good, his appearance is a bit hard to describe, and he is picky, so he has been single all his life.
Last year, he made a lot of money selling tapes of Teresa Teng and Liu Wenjing, and he became a little arrogant. All day long, he is either thinking about this family's young wife or flirting with that family's girl.
People say that a rabbit doesn't eat grass near its burrow, but he chose to provoke people from a big courtyard and the streets in front and behind.
I was often scolded for this.
He even flirted with Ruyue.
As a result, before the Yan family could make any move, they were put into a sack by the boy from the Zhang family.
He was beaten so badly that time that he was lame for half a month.
Just as his leg was healed, he was blocked in a public toilet by the brothers Rushan and Rushong, who beat him up and threw him into a manure pit. . . . .
Fortunately, the weather was a bit cold at that time. If it were the coldest days of winter, eating maggots would be enough to fill him up.
"Pah, the Wei family kid has only been quiet for a few days, and he's already acting recklessly again."
Someone stuffed a handful of melon seeds into Chen Yin's hand, and she ate them while watching the fun with a few aunts and sisters-in-law.
It was almost applauded.
***
"Ah, you're right, the Jianshe couple are the same. Why can't they get pregnant..."
"It's a shame that Xiaofang is so beautiful. If she gave birth to a girl, she would be so beautiful."
"That's right. If we take all the people in our film into account, only Xiao Chen'er can compare to Fang'er. The rest are no match."
Chen Yin spat out the melon seed shells and laughed, "I'm already an old cucumber painted green. I'm going to be a mother of five soon. There's no comparison."
Speaking of this, someone immediately asked curiously: "Hey, Xiao Chen'er, do you two have any secrets? How come you are always a pair, always a pair?"
Aunt Fan also got excited and hugged Chen Yin's arm and said, "Little Chen, tell me, look how pitiful Jianshe and his wife are. They can't have a child and they are always worried.
Fang'er herself said that every day when she and her husband go home to eat, you look at me while eating and I look at you while drinking.
After the meal, the two of them just stared at each other.
Without a child to make noise, life would be boring.”
"That's right. If this continues, the Jianshe couple will get divorced sooner or later."
"If it weren't for this, how could Wei Bingwen have been so concerned about him?"
When women get together, the topics they talk about are either men or children.
Or a man and a child together.
What could Chen Yin say? She pretended to think for a moment and said, "Well, maybe it's a gene in our family."
"Chicken? Eat more chicken?"
“Pfft—hahaha~”
"Hey, Miss Fan, if you add a 'ba' at the end, maybe it will be correct. Hahaha..."
Aunt Fan came to her senses and scolded her with a smile, "You are such a good fellow, Zhang Guihua! Everyone knows that it is better to say chicken instead of bark!
You are so good, I’m sure you have experience in this matter, come on, tell everyone how you eat your Lao Zhao’s chicken——ba... "
Chen Yin hid back and screamed in her heart: Help!
These married aunts and sisters-in-law are too pornographic. She wants to run away.
But she saw Grandma Wang.
That’s perfect, I don’t have to go out of my way to find someone.
***
When Yan Jiuru strolled over, Sun Jianshe was already rolling on the ground with Wei Bingwen.
Sun Jianshe is a bus driver and has strong arms.
Wei Bingwen used to sweep the streets in his early years, which wasn't too bad.
While everyone seemed to be trying to stop the fight, they were actually just saying "stop fighting" and "Bingwen, talk less", and no one took action to pull the two people apart.
Sun Jianshe has a slight advantage.
You can tell that this guy has some fighting experience from the fact that he took off his shirt before fighting.
He was shirtless and had tight muscles. Wei Bingwen had no place to gain leverage, while Sun Jianshe grabbed the other person's collar and punched him again and again.
Perhaps because he had been beaten so often and had some experience, Wei Bingwen simply used his head to butt the opponent's stomach.
The two fought hard.
Sister-in-law Xiaofang was watching the fight from the side. Whenever Sun Jianshe was passive, she would go up and kick Wei Bingwen twice. . . . .
Tsk tsk~
Yan Jiuru didn't rush to stop the fight, so he let them fight for a while.
He used his spiritual sense to scan Sun Jianshe's body. Of course, the focus was on the man's scrotum and other things.
He speculated that the infertility of Sun Jianshe and his wife might have something to do with Sun Jianshe driving a bus.
If a man sits and drives for a long time, it will have some impact on his waist, kidneys and bladder.
Coincidentally, he saw a piece of paper in Sun Jianshe's trouser pocket, which was a diagnosis from the hospital.
The above shows asthenospermia.
"Well, no wonder they didn't divorce."
If Sister Fang'er couldn't have children, they might have divorced long ago.
Thinking of the fight that was caused by his cigarette, Yan Jiuru separated the crowd, put one hand on Sun Jianshe's waist, and tore Wei Bingwen apart with the other hand: "Alright, alright, we are all neighbors, let people laugh at us."
Separate the people in no time.
Wei Bingwen straightened his clothes while panting, and looked at Sun Jianshe with squinted eyes, looking energetic and like he really wanted a beating.
Sun Jianshe felt warm on his waist and refreshed. Looking at the other person's panda eyes, he felt in a good mood and didn't want to bother with the other person anymore.
"Come on, wife, let's go home."
"Humph, a bachelor is only fit to ride a pig at night!"
"I'm riding Nima!"
The two of them almost started fighting again.
***
"Hmm?" Yan Jiuru was a little impatient.
Wei Bingwen was horrified.
One finger can press me down so hard that I can't move. This is so fucking scary.
His legs were shaking, "Brother, big brother!"
Yan Jiuru smiled slightly and patted the other person's face: "Just enjoy the sunset..."
Oh my god, what’s the point of admiring the sunset? He felt like his bones were about to break. There must be real kung fu in his hands.
Wei Bingwen inherited his father's cleverness and immediately slapped himself twice: "Well, brother, I promise, I promise I will never do such a stupid thing again, please forgive me..."
Yan Jiuru waved his hand.
"Get out of here, get out of here~" Wei Bingwen ran away quickly.
Yan Jiuru said to Sun Jianshe again, "I'm sorry, brother. I didn't expect that handing out a cigarette would lead to such a thing."
Sun Jianshe put on his clothes, picked up the cigarette that had fallen on the ground and put it back on his ear.
He smiled indifferently, "Never mind my brother, it's just that the grandson is so annoying. I've wanted to beat him up for a long time."
"Speaking of which, I have to thank my brother for giving me this opportunity. I finally vented my anger.
Haha, I feel so happy! "
***
Yan Jiuru called Rushong again in the evening.
The dormitory supervisor, with a ring of keys clattering around, shouted at the entrance of the corridor: "Room 203, Yan Rusong, answer the phone—"
Rusong had just returned from the shower and was about to read a book before turning off the lights. As he slipped on his shoes, he shouted, "Who hit me?"
"Director Yan, your elder brother!" The dormitory manager's voice became excited.
Now everyone in Building 7 knows: Yan Rushong lives in the same building as us, so if we round it off, Yan Rushong’s elder brother is our elder brother.
He's a person who's in the news every now and then!
It’s always a face-saving thing to say it out loud.
"Brother!" Rusong didn't know why his brother wanted to see him so late, but it must not be a big deal, otherwise he would have driven to school a long time ago.
"Well, I'm going abroad for an inspection the day after tomorrow, which will take about ten days. Can you take a few days off and come back to stay at night?
Your sister-in-law is pregnant, your grandparents are old, and your nephews and nieces are young and can't take care of things. Please take care of the family."
Rusong chuckled and said, "No need to ask for leave. We have a graduation ceremony next week, so I don't really care about it now. I can just pack up and move back tomorrow."
Yan Jiuru had actually forgotten about this.
He was so busy every day that his younger brothers and sisters were often not around, and he even forgot what grade they were in when they graduated.
"By the way, big brother, can you bring me something?"
"Okay, I'll tell you more when you come back."
"Okay!"
Rusong returned to the dormitory humming a song.
His roommates all asked enviously, "Brother, is there something wrong? If you need help, just call for help!"
"Yes, we brothers are not bad."
Rusong laughed and scolded, "Go away, what do you mean by our brother? Our eldest brother is good!"
"Haha, yes, our big brother.
What's up, big brother? "
Facing his brother who he had lived with for four years, Rusong also explained: "Brother, you will be going on a business trip in a few days. Let me know."
There are also some guys from Yancheng in my dormitory, and they are quite interested in the news.
He said thoughtfully, "Is he going abroad for an inspection? I saw the news in the newspapers a couple of days ago."
"I think so. I didn't elaborate on the phone."
Ru Songche changed the subject, "Oh, by the way, I'm going home to bring my camera, so we can take graduation photos."
"Open! Ask the teacher to prepare some more film so we can take more pictures with the beauties in our class and the school!"
***
Yan Jiuru also called Rushan and Ruyue to tell them.
Even if they are needed to take care of the family, they are brothers and sisters in the same way, and we cannot favor one over the other.
Rushan is close by, so I come back to visit every now and then.
Ruyue is busy with her studies. Except for coming back on Sundays to satisfy her cravings, she is not seen most of the time.
I got a call from my eldest brother, and he happened to have something to ask: "Brother, can you buy me two books? They are not available in China."
She finally chose the direction of diagnostic imaging medicine, as this field is more advanced abroad. The books she wanted to buy were all on the professor's list, which she could not find in China.
"Okay, just write the title of the book to me."
"Then big brother, can you please bring me some more cosmetics!" Ruyue said shyly into the phone.
"What brand? How about I bring you a complete set?"
Ruyue said hurriedly, "You don't need a whole set, just... Well, I'll go home tomorrow at noon and make a list for you."
***
On the day of the trip, Yan Jiuru had several lists in his hands.
Not to mention him, even Minister Huang has a pile of lists in his hands, two more than him.
As for the minister, his network of relationships is bigger and wider, and he has more people to turn to for help.
However, Yan Jiuru watched as Minister Huang handed it over to his assistant, then boarded the plane with ease.
As a director, he is not allowed to bring a full-time assistant with him when he goes abroad.
Alas, we still have to climb up.
