Chapter 60 Twenty Dollars
When Lin Xiaotong and the other two returned home, it was afternoon. The women who were not working in the yard were sitting on small benches, chatting together, and their hands were busy.
Yu Afen and Qian Yu cleaned up the garbage created by Fu Zhenggang and others in the morning at the gate of Xie's house in the east.
Qian Yu bent over and worked very skillfully, her eyes were swollen like walnuts. She was really scared today.
She never expected that this time, because there was no man at home, the people from the Revolutionary Committee wanted to touch her.
Fortunately, Aunt Xiulan and Uncle Xie helped her family. After this incident, she realized how naive she was before.
She decided not to go to school. There were criticism sessions going on all day long in school anyway, and the teachers didn't dare say anything for fear of getting into trouble.
She thought it would be nice to work as a waitress in a state-owned restaurant, even though she had been doing odd jobs for the past few days.
When you graduate, you can go to school and take a simple exam to get your diploma. Many people do this.
"Aunt, you are back? How is my uncle?"
After sweeping, Qian Yu straightened up and saw Gao Xiulan pushing Xie Da Jiao in a wheelchair across the backyard.
Qian Yu trotted over to Lin Xiaotong to help pull the cart and showed concern for Xie Da Jiao's injury.
"Xiu Lan, why is your old Xie still in a wheelchair?"
Hearing Qian Yu's shout, Yu Afen also quickly stepped forward and came in front of Gao Xiulan.
"Xiu Lan, when my old Qian comes back, I'll ask him to take Old Xie there and make sure he gets cured."
Yu Afen saw that Xie Dajiao was sitting in a wheelchair, and wondered how serious her injuries must be.
Thinking that all this trouble was caused by helping her family, I felt grateful and guilty.
"No, no, Mr. Xie injured his waist, and the doctor said it would be easier to move around in a wheelchair."
Gao Xiulan waved her hand.
"Xiu Lan, this is a serious matter. You have to treat it properly."
Zhang Dazui also squeezed over and started talking without waiting for Gao Xiulan to speak.
"Aunts, let's go back and put our things away first. Look, my thin arms and legs can hardly hold on."
Lin Xiaotong looked at Gao Xiulan and Xie Dajiao who were surrounded in the middle, and quickly interrupted them, let go of the cart, and shook her wrist with a smile.
"Xiaotong, you're really smart. You've been tired all day, so take a break first. I'll put your dad on the bed and let him rest."
"Hey, Mom, I'm going to return the cart to Aunt Zhang."
Before Xie Da Jiao could react, Gao Xiulan carried her into their house in a princess carry.
Lin Xiaotong went to Zhang Dazui's house across the street to return the cart, washed her hands at the sink in the yard, wiped them clean and went into the house.
Lin Xiaotong thought about how Hu Tou and Wu Jiabao brought a group of kids to kick the bad guys hard in the morning, and then she went into the room.
I took out a bag of candy I bought last time from a low cabinet beside the bed. The candy wrappers were shiny. I hadn’t finished it yet, so I shook it to check the amount.
Lin Xiaotong went out for a walk and found a group of children squatting and playing together at the gate of the compound.
"Tiger Head, come here quickly, I have something to talk to you about."
Lin Xiaotong called out to Hutou and waved for him to come over.
"Sister Tong, do you need me for anything? I can do anything."
Hu Tou stood up quickly, brushed off the non-existent dust on his butt, puffed out his chest, and fixed his eyes on the bag of candy in Lin Xiaotong's hand.
"Sister Tong, I can't do it, but my brothers can help."
Tiger Head struggled to move away the tempting candy and actively took on work for his friend again.
"Thank you for your help this morning. Here, this is your reward."
Lin Xiaotong looked at the clever Hu Tou, smiled and handed a bag of candy to Hu Tou.
"Really? Sister Tong, is it really for us?"
Hu Tou felt that happiness came too suddenly and couldn't believe it for a moment, so he asked again.
"certainly!"
Lin Xiaotong put the bag of candy directly into Hu Tou's hand.
"Take it and share it. Your friends are waiting for you back there."
Hu Tou turned around and saw that his friends behind him all stood up and huddled together, looking at the bag of candies in Hu Tou's hand with shining eyes.
"This is what you deserve, go and divide it up."
Lin Xiaotong touched Tiger Head's round little head, but his hair was a little prickly.
"Yeah, thank you Sister Tong!"
Hutou skipped back and shared the candy with his friends.
Wu Jiabao was also among the group of friends, looking at the candy with shining eyes.
"Tiger Head, I kicked the bad guy's ass really hard today, so give me an extra one."
"That won't do. I kicked him too."
"Me too, me too."
"Stop arguing. Let's divide it together. Line up and stand with your palms facing up, and I'll put the candy."
The tiger-headed man quickly lined up a bunch of little kids, and he put one on the palm of each of their hands, just like the auntie serving food in the cafeteria.
This ensures that everyone gets the same amount of candy, and there are only a few extra pieces at the end.
Hu Tou thought for a moment and decided to break up the remaining candies, giving each person a small piece and stuffing it into their mouths. It was so sweet and delicious that it was bubbling.
…
Fu Zhengze was also very happy. He finally got in touch with the city leaders today.
He heard that Director Wang was addicted to alcohol, so he used his connections to get a permit, bought a box of Maotai, and invited Director Wang to a banquet.
For this purpose, he even contacted the state-owned restaurant and asked Chef Qian, who has the best cooking skills, to prepare a table of authentic old Beijing dishes.
Before leaving, he gave Director Wang a Maotai gift box, and there were nine gold bricks hidden under the box.
Looking at Director Wang shaking the gift box in his hand with satisfaction and the words he said before leaving, Fu Zhengze knew that things would be over soon.
Fu Zhengze's face turned red as he staggered back home. Seeing Fu Zhenggang lying on the sofa in the living room, he asked.
"Zhenggang, is the matter resolved?"
"Brother, don't worry, I'll just spend some money and get it done right away."
Fu Zhenggang sat up straight with his legs crossed, and a faint red mark appeared on his neck.
Fu Zhengze knew the reason for his lazy look at a glance.
"What are you going to do about that woman?"
Fu Zhengze had heard Xia Caiyun curse Zhao Yunyun loudly at home. He was not unfamiliar with this name, and he naturally knew that Zhao Yunyun was a married woman.
"What kind of woman can't you find? Why do you have to choose this one?"
Fu Zhengze felt that Fu Zhenggang had lost his mind and wondered why he was fighting to the death with Zhao Yunyun.
"Brother, I know in my heart that I was just playing with that woman."
Fu Zhenggang spoke frivolously, but he felt a little unhappy when he thought that Zhao Yunyun and that wild man had not divorced yet.
Let Zhao Yunyun divorce that man tomorrow!
"You're right to think so. After the matter is settled, it's just a matter of a word for you to decide what kind of wife you want to marry."
Fu Zhengze was in a good mood today. He patted Fu Zhenggang on the shoulder and smiled even more deeply.
"Brother, I wish you a promotion first. Don't forget your brothers when you become rich."
Fu Zhenggang has been in high spirits these days, and is naturally happy that his brother can move up to a higher level.
"Brother, you haven't found a wife yet? You'll be spoiled for choice among those rich men in the future."
