On the first day of the New Year, the yard became bustling early in the morning.
People were coming and going, wishing each other a happy new year, and the children were running around everywhere, looking very energetic.
The first thing says everyone when they meet is "Happy New Year". Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei got up a little late and were in a hurry. The young couple both wore red sweaters and black pants, which they wore when they got married half a month ago. Mingmei changed into the new cotton shoes bought by her mother-in-law. She stretched out her feet to Zhuang Zhixi and said, "Look, they really fit well."
Even though cotton shoes look rustic and cannot compare to leather shoes, Mingmei doesn't buy leather shoes very often. She cares about the appearance of her clothes, but her feet must be comfortable. Otherwise, she will be in the car all day and no one knows how uncomfortable it will be.
Zhuang Zhixi watched her combing her hair, put his fingers on her shoulders dishonestly, and said, "Can I help you?"
Mingmei looked at him through the mirror and asked angrily, "You can do it?"
Zhuang Zhixi was very confident: "What can't I do?"
His fingers slid through her hair and pulled up a tuft. Mingmei: "Ouch!"
She turned back and glared: "It hurts, this is my hair, not a ball of yarn."
Well, he is good at boasting, but he is not good at doing things. Mingmei pushed him and said, "Okay, I will do it myself."
She had her hair combed high into a bun, but now no one calls it a "bun", it's called a "Taoist head". But it made Mingmei look even more beautiful, with bright white teeth. Zhuang Zhixi saw her comb her hair and apply Pechoin, so he came forward and sniffed it, saying, "Hmm, it smells good."
Mingmei reached out and wiped his face, and Zhuang Zhixi couldn't dodge in time: "Oh my gosh~"
He said, "It's such a waste to wipe it for me."
Mingmei said angrily, "Isn't it because your skin is dry?" She reached out to help him apply it, and Zhuang Zhixi gave Mingmei an ambiguous smile. Mingmei's eyes met him and she snorted softly.
Zhuang Zhixi laughed softly, resting his forehead against hers, and said, "Wife, why are you so nice?"
Mingmei patted her chest and boasted proudly: "My character is very guaranteed."
Zhuang Zhixi couldn't help laughing again and said, "You're quite good at bragging!"
Mingmei pointed at her hair and said, "I brag? Am I as good at bragging as you? Look how you pulled my hair, and I'm repaying you with kindness by applying Pechoin to you. You know, it's a waste for men to apply clam oil."
Zhuang Zhixi: "You are right, so my wife is the best."
He had never used this kind of stuff since he was a child, but in winter, his skin was dry and it felt really good to apply it. He looked at himself in the mirror curiously and said, "It seems that my skin looks a little moisturized."
Mingmei looked at him with a little bit of coquettishness, raised her eyebrows and pouted, Zhuang Zhixi couldn't help but lower his head...
"Knock, knock, knock! Knock, knock!" There was a knock on the door. Outside the door was the light bulb tiger cub. Tiger head: "Uncle, aunt, happy new year, get up, happy new year!"
Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei looked at each other: "..."
The two of them burst into laughter. Zhuang Zhixi stood up and opened the door: "Happy New Year, happy New Year, little guy."
"It's time for breakfast!" Tiger Head put his hands on his waist. He wore a new hat and a new cotton-padded jacket today. He was very proud and said loudly, "Eat!"
The young couple came to the main house and greeted Zhuang Laonian and Zhao Guihua, and also greeted their brother and sister-in-law. Xiaoyanzi kept rubbing against the two of them and said, "She smells so good. My aunt smells so good." The little girl was able to notice this.
She sniffed and said, "Uncle smells good too."
Liang Meifen smiled and reminded: "Why don't you hurry up and wish your uncle and aunt a happy new year?"
You have to give some lucky money, right? That's what Priscilla Leung wanted.
Xiaoyanzi said in a baby voice: "Happy New Year, uncle and aunt."
Hu Tou had just wished a happy new year, but now he came over again: "Happy new year, uncle and aunt~"
Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei smiled at each other. Mingmei took out a red envelope and placed it in the palms of the two children, saying, "Here, I'll give you a red envelope."
Hu Tou couldn't wait to open it, and there was a dollar inside. He opened his eyes wide: "Wow~"
These days, the red envelopes that children can get are basically one cent, and giving a dime is considered generous. This one dollar is very, very generous. Hu Tou was excited: "I have two dollars!" When he said this, Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei knew that Zhuang Laonian and Zhao Guihua also gave one dollar.
The children were extremely excited. The happiest one was certainly Leung Mei-fun. She had two children. Her parents-in-law gave one dollar for each child, and her brother-in-law and his wife gave one dollar for each child. That made four dollars in total. She had already made plans and would ask for the money back later. She couldn't let the children spend this money recklessly.
She will go back to her parents' home in the third year of junior high school. With the extra four dollars, she can buy a lot of things. She will definitely get praise from her parents and will be able to show off her things.
Well, exchanging one cent for a red envelope works.
Liang Meifen was just thinking about something good when she heard Zhuang Zhixi rubbing his tiger head and saying, "After your uncle pays New Year's greetings, I'll take you to the sales outlet. Buy some small firecrackers and candy balls or something. If you don't spend the money, your mother will take it away from you."
As soon as these words were spoken, the two children, Hutou and Xiaoyanzi, looked at Liang Meifen warily.
What the uncle said is right! Liang Meifen: "..."
How could Zhuang Zhixi, this bastard, be so wicked?
Zhuang Zhixi was still laughing: "You bought some delicious food and hid it to eat slowly, or you bought some fun firecrackers and played with them slowly? Don't let your mother cheat you out of your New Year's money."
Little Swallow had forgotten it, but Tigerhead remembered that his mother had given him New Year's money last year. Adults are the best at coaxing children. The child immediately became alert and shouted, "Go buy something right now!"
What you eat is yours.
Liang Meifen was so embarrassed that she almost fainted. She managed to say, "It's not good for children to spend money recklessly. I'm saving it for them. It's not good for such young children to develop the habit of spending lavishly."
Zhuang Zhixi tapped his nephew's head and said, "Look, your mother wants it, right?"
Hu Tou immediately shouted: "This is my New Year's money, it's mine!"
Xiaoyanzi: "It's mine, it's mine!" She follows her brother everywhere.
Zhuang Zhixi laughed out loud.
Zhao Guihua: “…”
She glared at her son and said, "You really want the world to be in chaos."
But she didn't care how they spent the money. Since she had given it, she didn't care. Zhuang Zhixi came forward and said, "Mom, my wife and I don't have any red envelopes? We are children too."
The corners of Zhao Guihua's mouth twitched. She stared at her son. If it wasn't the New Year, she would have scolded him. How could he be so shameless? Child? You can even create a child, and you still call yourself a child. You should have some shame.
Zhao Guihua looked away, snorted, and said, "No! Eat breakfast."
Zhuang Zhixi wanted to grumble a few words, but when he looked at the table, he forgot about his grudges. This breakfast is good! "Oh, this is really good!"
In addition to the leftover dumplings from last night, breakfast also included tofu pudding, fried dough sticks and tea eggs, which was really rich in variety. Although it was the 1970s, all the units were state-owned, except for large factories like machinery factories and some service-oriented positions, which did not have holidays.
It's about serving the people.
So even on the morning of New Year's Day, you can still buy fried dough sticks and soy milk.
Before the family finished breakfast, someone came to pay New Year's greetings. Li Fang and Yang Lixin, a couple from the backyard, came with their children to pay New Year's greetings. Zhao Guihua gave the two boys red envelopes with five cents in them. It's not that she was stingy, but for neighbors, this price was not low.
They even prepared many kinds of red envelopes. For children from the same courtyard or the ones they are more familiar with, they basically give five cents each. If it is a child from outside who is not very familiar to them, they basically give one cent, just for good luck.
This is already a lot, after all, life is not easy nowadays.
All the families in their area are working-class families, and they live better than most people in the country.
Li Junjun and Li Weiwei took the red envelopes and shouted happily: "Thank you, Grandpa Zhuang and Grandma Zhao."
For younger generations, like the Zhuang brothers, there is no need to give lucky money. If they were given, no family could afford it. Usually, only those with a higher generation would be given lucky money. Seeing that they had finished eating, Yang Lixin asked, "Would you like to go out and pay New Year's greetings together?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Okay, let's go."
He put on his coat, handed it to Mingmei, and said, "Let's go, wife."
A group of young people, with a few little ones following them, went from house to house to wish each other a happy new year. The nearest one was the Su family. Aunt Su also prepared red envelopes, which she distributed to the children. When the children saw that it was only one cent, they pouted.
Wang Xiangxiu also joined them with her children, and the New Year's greeting team grew even stronger.
Among the families in their front yard, the Zhou family was the best, but Mrs. Zhou Li didn't give any red envelopes, and the children were all unhappy. Aunt Zhou didn't care at all. He didn't have any children, so why should he give out red envelopes? And there was no red envelope in return. Aunt Zhou absolutely couldn't bear this loss.
She is a person who would not suffer a loss even if it meant eating shit! Jin Lai muttered in a low voice: "You don't give me anything every year, you are so stingy."
Zhou Li was very proud and thought to herself that she would not give it to him, even if it made the monkey angry to death!
The children were very lonely, but soon became happy again. Old Bai did prepare red envelopes for the children. Although they were all children, the red envelopes were different. The other children received thin red envelopes, but the three boys from the Su family received thick red envelopes.
Jin Lai glanced at the other kids proudly, making them angry.
After going through the backyards, they naturally went to the surrounding courtyards, which also belonged to many families. Most of them were from their factory, so they were familiar with them. Mingmei followed Zhuang Zhixi, holding his hand.
This would not work in the past, even if they were married, they would have to take this into consideration. But today is Chinese New Year! But no one was holding on to this. Zhuang Zhixi was sweet-mouthed, and this guy was good-looking, so he was popular. Good-looking and sweet-mouthed, he was even more popular. They walked around for a long time, and it was obvious that Zhuang Zhixi was more popular.
Even if Yang Lixin is a cook, he is not as good as him.
As Zhuang Zhixi's wife, Mingmei is also liked by everyone. It must be said that they are a little bit similar as a young couple, both of them are good at saying nice things. After a long walk, they almost celebrated the New Year.
Zhuang Zhixi smiled and said, "Hutou, shall we go to the agency?"
He hasn't forgotten it yet.
Liang Meifen's face changed. Zhuang Zhiyuan said, "Come on, don't take them there. You will definitely buy food when you go there. Tiger Head, Dad will take you there and buy you a pencil or something."
Tiger Head: “Ah???”
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "Tiger-headed little swallow, follow your dad."
Liang Meifen hesitated for a moment, stomped her feet and followed.
The New Year's greetings were over, and the New Year's greetings team disbanded. Mingmei and Zhuang Zhixi went home hand in hand. She smiled jokingly: "You did it on purpose, didn't you? My sister-in-law's face is about to turn green."
Zhuang Zhixi said righteously: "Isn't this for the good of the child?"
Mingmei: "...Look at the way you smile."
It's clearly not a good intention.
Zhuang Zhixi couldn't help laughing and said, "She disgusted me when I was about to get married, so why shouldn't I disgust her? Besides, I didn't do anything. I'm innocent. My husband and I even gave each other two yuan as New Year's money. Go out and ask which family has such a good uncle as me."
Mingmei: “Hehe.”
She kind of understands Zhuang Zhixi.
Zhuang Zhixi shook his wife's hand and said, "Shall we go to the movies this afternoon?"
Mingmei: “Huh?”
Zhuang Zhixi: "Are you going or not?"
Mingmei: "Go! I don't know what movie is on now. I haven't watched a movie in a long time."
Zhuang Zhixi: "I don't know either. Let's go and see what there is to see. How about that?"
Mingmei: "Okay."
The young couple walked home hand in hand. When they entered the yard, they saw Zhao Guihua and Aunt Wang whispering in the yard. They didn't know who they were talking bad about. Mingmei whispered, "I don't know what my mother-in-law is talking about."
Zhuang Zhixi: "It must be about the red envelopes. Our mother gives the same price for the whole area, and almost everyone gives the same price. But Aunt Su only gives one cent every year, and the rest is just for nothing. So every year they complain about it."
Mingmei: "Then Aunt Zhou still hasn't given it to me."
Zhuang Zhixi: "His family has no children, and they don't make money, but the Su family..."
The three children of the Su family, led by Su Jinlai and his two younger brothers, visited in the area, whether they knew them or not, to wish them a happy new year. They really wanted to get all the wool from the people around them on the first day of the new year. Some families were just familiar with them, but they didn't visit them. shameless and were not very popular among the people around them.
Mingmei: "His parents don't care?"
"Who cares! Maybe it was the adults who instigated it."
Zhuang Zhixi: "His house, I've gotten used to it a long time ago."
Mingmei laughed. Zhao Guihua saw them coming back and called out, "Old Third!"
Zhuang Zhixi: “Here.”
Zhao Guihua: "I'll make some steamed spareribs for lunch. Chop them now."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Okay, I'll do it right away!"
He pulled his wife aside and said, "We all had spareribs for lunch yesterday, but you didn't get to eat any. You have to eat more for lunch today."
Mingmei smiled: "Yeah."
She also loves eating spare ribs. The meat on the ribs is more fragrant than ordinary meat. After Zhao Guihua complained about Aunt Su to others, she went home and saw that her youngest son had chopped all the ribs. She didn't say anything, but just put away a small half to save for next time.
There are so many that if you finish eating them all at once, there will be none left for the next time.
Zhao Guihua was so thirsty from chatting just now that she poured herself a glass of water and gulped it down. If it wasn't difficult to say, she would have wanted to talk about the gossip she saw last night. This Jiang Lu was such a ruthless person that he even dared to drink chicken blood in order to have a baby.
It's still twelve o'clock in the morning. My scalp tingles just thinking about it.
However, the old lady who gave Jiang Lu chicken blood looked a little familiar. Logically speaking, it was normal for Zhao Guihua to see her familiarly since she lived in this area. However, Zhao Guihua felt that the reason she looked familiar was not because she was a neighbor.
"Mom, what are you thinking about?"
"Is it your business?" Zhao Guihua asked, "Where are your brother and sister-in-law?"
"I took the kids shopping." Zhuang Zhixi asked, "What else is there to do? You see, your youngest son is the one who should do it. I can do anything. I'm not like my elder brother and his wife who are lazy." Zhao Guihua didn't believe this at all. She sneered and said, "Don't pretend to me. You think you can do anything? Even a three-year-old child won't believe this."
After saying that, she turned around and walked out.
Zhuang Zhixi shrugged and said, "I will definitely grab all the delicious food for lunch."
Mingmei: “Puff!”
It's worth mentioning that today's lunch is still very good. No matter if you have money or not, you can have a good New Year. This is the general idea of ordinary people. As long as you have some conditions, you can have a good New Year's Day. This is the case for his family and other families.
Basically, no one envies anyone else, as each family is doing well.
Hearing that Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei were going out to see a movie this afternoon, Hutou and Xiaoyanzi's eyes lit up. Zhuang Zhixi said firmly, "Don't look at me. There is no way I can take you. I want to be alone with my wife for a while. If you want to go, ask your parents to take you."
Hu Tou and Xiao Yan Zi immediately looked at Zhuang Zhiyuan and Liang Meifen.
Zhuang Zhiyuan: "What's so great about movies? Wait until the machine factory shows a movie, then you can go and watch it. I'll take a break too. I'm tired from taking long train rides all the time. Only when you're healthy can you make better contributions to society. Movies are just for fun, we don't need them."
A family: “…”
Zhao Guihua said sincerely: "Boss, no one cares about you at work, but at home, you have to speak human language."
Zhuang Zhiyuan felt aggrieved. What he said was so good, but his level was just not good enough.
Zhuang Zhiyuan was not happy, so the two siblings, Tiger Head and Little Swallow, could only set off firecrackers at the doorstep, which they bought with their lucky money today. But setting off firecrackers was also very good. If they were taken away by their mother, there would be no firecrackers at all! After dinner, Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei went out on bicycles together, which made Liang Meifen envious, but she was reluctant to spend a dime to watch a movie.
In her heart, she was vaguely complaining that Zhuang Zhixi and his wife were not kind. What could be wrong with bringing a child? If such a young child was accompanied by an adult, he would not need to buy a ticket. But if the child went alone without an adult, he would be required to buy a half-price ticket.
Although the half-price ticket was only five cents each, Priscilla Leung was reluctant to leave. She felt so upset that she wanted to cry, but could only keep her head tilted as much as possible. Today was the first day of the new year, and she couldn't cry. If she cried, she would have no good luck for the whole year.
She couldn't be unlucky.
Liang Meifen was complaining in her heart, but Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei didn't know. Even if they knew, they wouldn't care. Zhuang Zhixi drove Mingmei, and Mingmei sat in the back seat, hugged Zhuang Zhixi's waist, and said, "It would be nice if we had some fried melon seeds."
Zhuang Zhixi chuckled, and Mingmei immediately asked: "Are you ready?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Touch my pocket."
Mingmei reached out and felt around, and there really was a handful of melon seeds. She exclaimed with genuine emotion, "You're amazing. You've thought of this."
Zhuang Zhixi: "My family fried it the day before yesterday. I wanted to eat it just to watch the fun, but I was delayed by a meeting and forgot about it. I went out to watch a movie today and I grabbed a handful right away, hehe."
Mingmei: “Not bad!”
"Let's buy some more candy balls."
Zhuang Zhixi: “Okay.”
This movie is not new, but there are not many movies nowadays, there are only a few, and the cinema plays them repeatedly. During the Chinese New Year, the ones played are also the more popular ones. Zhuang Zhixi: "Have you seen it before?"
Mingmei nodded, but also said, "Watch it again. I think it's really good."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Okay."
Mingmei raised her cheeks and asked, "Does your factory usually show movies?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Yes, we have a large factory with 10,000 people, so of course we have a dedicated projectionist. Basically, there are once or twice a month."
Mingmei: "Yeah, that's quite frequent. Let me know when you're showing a movie next time. I want to go see it too."
She usually has to pay to watch movies, and has never experienced watching a movie for free.
The two bought tickets and entered the venue. Even though it was New Year's Day, there were still a lot of people there. Usually, there were only a few people in the afternoon, but today the venue was full. They arrived late and sat in the last row.
Mingmei looked around and said, "Come earlier next time and we'll sit in the front."
Zhuang Zhixi comforted her: "This is also good."
He directly reached out his arm and hugged Mingmei, holding her shoulders. Mingmei's face immediately turned red. She moved her shoulders uncomfortably and said, "What are you doing? What if someone sees us?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "How is that possible? When the lights are dimmed, you can't see anything. Everyone is staring at the screen, who would look back? There's no one behind us."
He was quite confident.
Mingmei glared at him, and Zhuang Zhixi smiled and hugged her again. Mingmei didn't dodge this time, but whispered: "You are not a good person here."
Zhuang Zhixi laughed softly and said, "Why do I feel like I'm doing fine?"
His other hand also held Mingmei's hand dishonestly. Her hand was very soft and boneless. Zhuang Zhixi: "That's great."
Mingmei: "Tsk~"
Zhuang Zhixi smiled more clearly. At this moment, the cinema went dark. Soon, the movie started playing... The young couple watched the movie together. Zhuang Zhixi asked in a low voice: "Did you come here often before?"
Mingmei nodded: "Yes."
As she prepares for her wedding, she has less time to go to the movies, although she used to come here quite often.
Zhuang Zhixi raised his eyebrows and said, "...Oh, yourself?"
Mingmei: "I always watch movies with my mom. My mom likes watching movies, but my dad is often not at home, so I watch movies with her..." At this point, she paused, then realized what Zhuang Zhixi meant, and stretched out her hand to pinch him. She pinched Zhuang Zhixi's soft flesh and twisted it clockwise. Zhuang Zhixi: "Well!
Double the pain! Mingmei: "What do you mean? Are you testing me?"
Zhuang Zhixi: “I was wrong!”
Mingmei said angrily, "You are so boring. If you want to ask something, just ask it. There is no need to beat around the bush. Talking like this is very annoying. How come you are not like your parents at all!"
She felt that she could better adapt to the chatting style of her mother-in-law Zhao Guihua. Although her words were sometimes unpleasant to the ear, she always said what she thought without any ulterior motives. If a family had to beat around the bush when talking, Mingmei felt that they were really sick.
So she said directly: "Next time, just ask whatever you want to ask, don't use this trick on me, otherwise I will be rude."
Seeing that Mingmei was really unhappy, Zhuang Zhixi immediately explained: "I didn't mean it, I'm just used to talking like this. I'm sorry, I won't talk like this in the future. I'll ask you if I want to know anything."
Mingmei: "Humph!"
Zhuang Zhixi lowered his head and said, "Baby, I was wrong..."
Mingmei: "Ugh!"
She looked at Zhuang Zhixi in disbelief, not daring to think how a grown man could speak so disgustingly. She raised her arm and gently rubbed it upwards to show him: "Look, I have goose bumps. Can you speak properly? Ugh... baby!"
Mingmei felt that even her three-year-old nephew from her mother's family would not be called that. She shook her body, thinking it was too disgusting.
"If you talk like that, I want to hit you."
Zhuang Zhixi laughed softly and said, "Then I won't call you that in the future. Look at you, you don't understand my love at all."
Mingmei immediately said: "If your love is to call me baby, then I don't want to feel it at all. Ugh... I have goose bumps again, look!"
She really is not blind at all, how could she call people like that?
Zhuang Zhixi: "Come, let me take a look, let me take a look, oh, it's really white."
Mingmei: "Shut up!"
Her little face turned red, and she felt that Zhuang Zhixi was really not a good guy. At that time, Mingmei had not yet learned the word - "greasy". If her mother-in-law Zhao Guihua saw it, she would definitely give her son these two words.
This greasy young man! Fortunately, Zhuang Zhixi was afraid of really angering Mingmei, so he let her go after saying a few flowery words, but he was still talking.
"I'll apologize to you once we get home."
Mingmei: "Shut up!"
Zhuang Zhixi laughed quietly. Because of Zhuang Zhixi's flowery speech, Mingmei didn't watch much of the movie. When she came to her senses, the movie was already halfway through. Mingmei turned around and glared at Zhuang Zhixi again. Zhuang Zhixi touched his nose, wanting to say that he was innocent, but he felt that he was not that innocent.
The movie lasted less than an hour and a half, but it started in the afternoon. It gets dark early in the winter, so when the movie ended, it was already dark outside. Mingmei: "Do you think mom will be upset if we come home late?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "It's Chinese New Year, not possible."
He turned to look at Mingmei and said, "If you're in a hurry, I'll take you on a side road."
Mingmei's family doesn't live in this area, and she's not very familiar with the road. She quickly asked, "Is there a small path here?"
Zhuang Zhixi: “Of course.”
He patted the seat and said, "Get in the car!"
Zhuang Zhixi drove Mingmei and quickly turned into an alley not far away. He grew up in this area and was familiar with it. Zhuang Zhixi pedaled the bike and said, "Taking the small road can be more than ten minutes faster than taking the main road. When I was a child, I wanted to be my brother's little tail, but my brother didn't like to play with me. Every time he sneaked out, I could catch up with him, thanks to my ability to walk through the streets and alleys."
Mingmei burst out laughing.
Zhuang Zhixi: "I'm telling you, I..." Before he finished speaking, with a creak, their car was blocked! Two young men suddenly appeared in front of them. They rushed out of the alley. One of them lay on the ground and said, "You hit my brother, pay me!"
Zhuang Zhixi: “???”
Before he could say anything, two young men came out from behind. They stared at Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei with ill intentions, looking at them as if they were fat sheep. They were just robbing, and it had nothing to do with hitting people.
And seeing that they will block from the front and back, I'm afraid this is not the first time they have done this.
Zhuang Zhixi frowned and was about to speak when he suddenly felt Mingmei reach out and hold his hand, scratching his palm twice.
Zhuang Zhixi calmed down and said, "My car didn't hit you at all. Why should I pay compensation? Robbery is robbery. Why bother with these empty tricks?"
The square-faced man in the lead sneered and said, "So what if you rob? Hand over the money if you know what's best for you, and don't wait for us to rob you." He glanced at Mingmei, a look of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he showed a disgusting smile and said, "Hey, are you two dating? Your partner is pretty good-looking. Why don't you keep your buddy company?"
He said to Mingmei, "Girl, why are you following this pretty boy? You see, he is just a loser, nothing but shit. Why don't you follow me? I will take you to eat delicious food and drink spicy drinks."
The one who pretended to be hit also stood up at this time, smiled frivolously, and said: "Brother, I haven't tasted a woman yet, don't forget me!"
The four robbers all laughed out loud, with ill intentions.
"No one can be spared. Little white face, if you know what's best for you, just hand over all the money. We'll take care of this girl for you, get out of here!"
When Zhuang Zhixi heard what they said, he went cold. He originally wanted to cooperate with Mingmei, but when he heard the nonsense they said, he immediately got angry and kicked them directly.
The little brother who was pretending to be dead just now was the closest to the opponent and was kicked to the ground.
"Fuck! You dare to resist? You are so brave! Brothers, teach him a lesson!"
Several people rushed over immediately. Zhuang Zhixi was about to rush forward when Mingmei stopped him. She said, "Get out of the way."
"Hey little girl wants to take the initiative..."
Zhuang Zhixi turned around and saw Mingmei's face. She was actually smiling, but the smile didn't reach her eyes, which made her look weird. Mingmei: "You want to play with me, right?"
She suddenly took a running start and kicked in the air. This kick was not aimed at Zhuang Zhixi, but directly at the square-faced man who was the leader. The square-faced man slid several meters and hit the wall with a bang.
Mingmei stepped forward and punched him twice, directly in the chest. The square-faced man screamed and fell to his knees.
“You, you you…”
When the other two saw this, they roared and pounced on them, but Mingmei turned around and punched them, and the other one got kicked. In a short time, all four of them were finished.
Mingmei beat them one by one and scolded, "Play?"
"Want to rob?"
"Never seen a woman?"
"Girlface?"
She asked a question, and then a punch was given. The four people were beaten and screamed. Mingmei said: "You really don't know who I am. You actually bullied my boss. I think you should ask around to see if I am easy to bully!"
Mingmei was not polite at all. Zhuang Zhixi stood silently behind Mingmei with an admiring look in his eyes. His wife was really amazing! He almost had stars in his eyes. It was true that rumors were better than seeing it with your own eyes!
So awesome, so brave, so cool!
The noise of the fight finally attracted people. Some people poked their heads out to look around. Zhuang Zhixi stared at Mingmei beating people up. Then he finally reacted and said, "Brother, please help us call the police. We have caught some robbers."
"Well……"
He looked at Zhuang Zhixi, then at the little girl who was still beating people, and nodded quickly: "Okay!"
The bad guys deserved whatever beating they got.
He quickly ran to call for help, and soon several policemen in police hats came over. The person who called the police didn't know what was going on, so the public security comrades immediately came with them. When they arrived, they saw Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei standing on one side, and the other four people were piled together, howling with bruises and swollen faces from being beaten.
There were a few people who came over to watch the fun, pointing at the four people.
"What's going on? Who's robbing?"
Zhuang Zhixi immediately stepped forward and said, "Hello, comrade. My husband and I were riding our bikes home when we were robbed by these four men."
Public Security Comrade: “…”
He looked down at the four guys who were screaming and beating and asked, "Did you beat them?"
Zhuang Zhixi was embarrassed for a moment, then shook his head. Although he didn't want to say it, he had to say: "My wife beat him up."
The public security comrade obviously didn't believe it. He looked at Mingmei and asked in doubt: "Did you hit him?"
Mingmei nodded: "Those bastards even split into two groups to block us. It's New Year's Day, how nice it is to be happy. They came out to rob people with such wickedness, and I was lucky not to beat them to death."
Public Security Comrade: “…”
Another older man looked at Mingmei and suddenly said, "Why do you look familiar to me?"
A young girl was fighting four people alone, and she was pretty...
I always feel that there is such a person in my impression.
Suddenly, he had a flash of inspiration and seemed to recognize the person in front of him. He said, "Are you Xiao Ming?"
He could not quite remember the name, but he remembered the last name because it was very special. He looked again and it seemed to be her.
Mingmei nodded: "Yes."
The old policeman smiled and said, "I was wondering who is so capable, it turns out to be you. Thank you so much, I didn't expect you to help us again."
He was really happy. This was all good performance. After all, there weren't many people who could just pop up and rob people. He said, "Okay, cuff them and take them back. Will you also come with me to make a statement?"
Mingmei and Zhuang Zhixi looked at each other and said, "Okay."
Nowadays, everyone hates robbers and thieves. After all, life is not easy for everyone, and people like this who want to get something for nothing are extremely hateful. In other words, if a thief is caught, no one will sympathize with him even if he is beaten to death.
Not to mention robbery.
The police station was not far from here, and several people were quickly taken to the police station. They were whining and whining, and they didn't know how to quibble. However, they were also telling the truth, and quibbling was useless because they had no local identity information. Several people were quickly interrogated. didn't have one. They came to the city of Sijiu on a coal train, hoping to make a living here.
However, none of them were diligent people and wanted to get something for nothing, so within less than a month they had already resorted to the same old tricks to rob people several times.
They moved around the capital, moving from one place to another after each shot.
They were lucky and had been hiding well without being discovered. It was not the Chinese New Year and they had little money. They thought they would do it again on the first day of the Chinese New Year. Who would have thought that they would fail? In fact, they had targeted Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei when they were buying candy balls.
I've been following them.
At first, the square-faced man wanted to steal the bicycle and leave.
But there was a steel stamp on the bicycle, so it was difficult to steal it. If I stole the wheels, it would be too obvious to remove them on the spot, and it would be easy to be discovered. I saw that they could watch a movie, so I thought they were rich, so I followed them.
You can rob people and also have time to remove the wheels.
But they never expected that this capital city is full of hidden dragons and crouching tigers. They were beaten up by a woman before they could do anything. They were beaten so badly! The four people burst into tears and felt deeply that it was really hard to live in the capital city! big crime, they would be in trouble.
Fortunately, these little bastards were unlucky and chose the wrong person. This time they ran into a tough guy and were defeated...
And now that they were arrested, they were wanted, this... a great credit! Although they were not the ones who arrested the criminals directly, they also had credit as the ones who led the team to the scene. Looking at the young couple again, their eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles.
These two are really lucky.
Oh no, bah, bah, you are not allowed to promote feudal superstition, it is not fashionable to say this! But, it is really good!
The old policeman shook Zhuang Zhixi's hand and said, "Thank you, thank you so much, both of you. These people are fugitives, and you have been a great help. We will definitely go to your unit to thank you after the New Year."
Mingmei's eyes lit up, and she said crisply, "This is what we should do."
Oh, this time she wasn't caught on the bus, will she get a raise? It would be great if she could get a raise! She is just an ordinary bus conductor who just wants a raise.
Zhuang Zhixi nodded: "Actually, I didn't do anything. It's mainly because my wife is so powerful. She is not only good at fighting, but also has a strong sense of justice. She can teach these people a lesson by herself. My wife has always hated evil and hated them. Since she met them, she had to deal with them. Besides, these bastards have met their end. How can we tolerate their recklessness in our city of Sijiu!"
He was bragging about his wife like crazy. No matter how many good things he said about her, it was not excessive at all, because she was just that capable! The old policeman laughed and said, "You are right."
He said: "It's getting late, I'll treat you to dinner to thank you..."
He was sincere, but Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei quickly waved their hands and said in unison: "No, no, our families are waiting for us. If we don't go back so late, they will probably be worried."
Mingmei's face turned red again. They came home late, and she wondered if her mother-in-law would be unhappy!
Zhuang Zhixi also thought of it and said, "We have to go home quickly."
Old policeman: "Okay, I'll take you there..."
"No!"
The young couple jumped onto the bike and said, "Let's ride faster!" and they rode away in a flash.
The old policeman touched his chin and said, "Why are you in such a hurry?"
But then I thought about it again and laughed. Who wouldn't be in a hurry to go home for the New Year?
He sighed: "Mingmei is really a good seedling."
