The usual after-get off work song sounded, and people from the machinery factory were walking out one after another, but... "Huh?"
Everyone saw Zhuang Zhixi, who was hanging out with a female comrade. He was riding a bicycle, but he pushed it instead. Zhuang Zhixi was pushing the bicycle, and a female comrade with two braided pigtails was sitting behind him.
This guy, isn't he married? You are so good, you have thick eyebrows and big eyes, how dare you cheat~ openly and blatantly cheat! There are many male employees in their machinery factory, especially those who are not married. When they see the two of them, their eyes are about to pop out, anyway, they are jealous.
"Is there really no one in charge of this? This is too blatant."
"Not really. He wouldn't be so arrogant."
"I think it is..."
Everyone was talking about it, and when they reached the door, the guard heard it and muttered, "His wife came to pick him up from get off work..."
After these words were spoken, the atmosphere that was full of discussion just now became a little quieter, but soon everyone started talking again: "Bah, he's really good at showing off. He even let his wife pick him up from get off work."
"I'll find a partner tomorrow and I'll ask my wife to pick me up."
"Find it first and talk later."
"Hey, this is the first time I've seen Zhuang Zhixi's wife. I have to say, she is so pretty."
"Don't let anyone hear you. Is that something you can say? I'll give you another cross."
That's not a crime.
"No, no, no."
Zhuang Zhixi took his wife with him, and they didn't ride a bike, they just walked.
Why? Isn't it just to show off? They are such a loving couple, huh!
Mingmei exclaimed: "You are really good. Why don't you drive me around the factory to show off?"
You see, the couple understand each other better. Mingmei knows that Zhuang Zhixi is a show-off. But she doesn't mind.
Show affection or something!
Very good.
Zhuang Zhixi: "It's so obvious that we're turning in circles. We're just leaving get off work as usual."
Mingmei: "...Do you think it's not obvious when you do this?"
Zhuang Zhixi: “Not very obvious.”
Mingmei couldn't respond to this, she felt it was super obvious.
Zhuang Zhixi: "By the way, how was your visit to the Public Security Bureau today?"
Mingmei scratched her head and said, "Our section chief went with me today. You know our leaders, they have watched me grow up, and they are also worried that I will be retaliated against, so they went over to find out the details."
Zhuang Zhixi was also worried about this and asked, "Then what?"
Mingmei: "Then everything was fine. Yesterday, that guy was a little guy who followed others to search the house. When they found that the family had hidden gold, he hid it and didn't say anything. He also concealed it on purpose. But he also knew that the family would definitely confess when the time came, so he pretended to be unwell and asked for leave immediately, and then returned to the scene. Anyway, there was no one else in his house, so he planned to run away with the gold bars. It is said that he planned to flee to the port city."
She sighed sincerely: "It's true that money can move people's hearts. If he wasn't so nervous, and that woman Hu was so unreasonable, he would never continue the conflict if his gold bars were not exposed, and he would leave quickly. This person also plans to go to Hong Kong City to live a beautiful new life."
Zhuang Zhixi chuckled when he heard this and said, "It's obvious that this guy doesn't have enough brains. Is he a pig? Does he think he can get away with the money? He doesn't even think about it. He needs a letter of introduction to go anywhere. We are not across the sea from Gangcheng. It's too far. He flew there! On the way, he didn't have any identity proof or letter of introduction. When people tell him and he goes missing, they will know that he has gold on him. He will be wanted by then! With so many gold bars, no one can just ignore it."
Mingmei: "Who said it wasn't? Maybe he was really blinded by the gold. He didn't say it directly, but from what he said, there must be more than just the gold that fell on him. He has more on him, tied to his body. With such a heavy thing on his body, it's no wonder he vomited blood when I kicked him out. It's obviously because of the gold bars tied to his body. People who don't know would think I practiced some powerful diamond kick."
The couple was a little confused about this man's train of thought. Is it worth it to live a good life for the gold bars? Gold bars are good, but you can't just swim across them. There are still thousands of miles to go. They were also dazzled by the gold.
Mingmei: "I was lucky enough to recover their losses this time."
Zhuang Zhixi: “Really…”
There have been many things in recent years, such as Teacher Xiang, who went to work in the hospital morgue because of his bad background. Although it is a bit unlucky, it really saves trouble. But I didn't expect that after several years of prosperity, there are still people with bad backgrounds who hide so many gold bars.
Zhuang Zhixi didn't know how to describe it.
Of course, for people like them who have been poor peasants for three generations, they are just small grains of sand in such a strong wind and have nothing to do with them.
"Then you have helped them recover a huge loss this time, why don't you give me some reward?" Zhuang Zhixi said jokingly, he thought it was unlikely. Those people are doing things, tut tut.
Anyway, there is no way to savor it carefully.
Mingmei's eyes sparkled: "I can get another salary increase this time."
Zhuang Zhixi: “Huh?”
He was really surprised: "You don't have enough years of service?"
Mingmei raised her chin proudly and said, "It was approved specially. Didn't you say that? I recovered a huge loss. Otherwise, if this person ran to Hong Kong City with so many gold bars, wouldn't that cause a huge loss?"
She said with a little pride: "Comrade Zhuang Zhixi, you have to work hard too! Look at me, I am so great."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Okay, okay, you are the best."
He said: "If I want to get a raise here, I can only increase my seniority, which is difficult."
But he added, "This time Director Li recommended me to help out in the Propaganda Department. I will work hard and see if there is any chance for me to get ahead. It would be best if I can be officially transferred there. The Propaganda Department is always more suitable for me than the Medical Office."
As for the charges in their medical office, it is basically addition and subtraction within ten.
He sat there, aging prematurely.
Although Mingmei looks simple, she comes from a working-class family and knows a little bit.
She said, "I don't think it will be easy to get transferred. Nowadays, everyone has their own position. If there is a position, there will be people with connections and backgrounds who will rush in. You don't even have any connections, how can you get it? Do you want to find someone else?"
Mingmei scratched her head, her neatly tied braids were a little messy. She frowned and said, "I don't have any acquaintances in the machinery factory, so it's hard to find anyone."
This was not the more developed era of several decades later, and the current circle was still very fixed.
Her family has connections, but she can't find this kind of connection.
Zhuang Zhixi laughed and said, "It's okay. Am I the kind of person who relies on my wife? My wife is so capable, and I would be so embarrassed if I don't work hard myself! Don't worry, I know my limits. If I say I can succeed in one try, I don't think it will work. But as a person, you should show more when you can. You never know when you will get a chance. I plan to work hard this time and flatter the boss. It should be of some use. If I fail once, there will be the next time. I have seized every opportunity, which will make the leaders remember me clearly and they will remember me to some extent."
Mingmei said coquettishly: "Oh, you poor little thing who still wants to flatter."
Zhuang Zhixi chuckled and said, "For the sake of my future and making money, I won't do it."
Mingmei also smiled and nodded: "Yes."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Let's go, let's go home!"
Mingmei chuckled. Although the two of them came out early, they didn't ride their bicycles, but pushed them instead. Now they were actually quite late to get home. When the couple walked to the entrance of the alley, they ran into Jiang Lu, who was also a little late.
Jiang Lu: “…”
It's so fucking annoying!
She looked at the young couple suspiciously, suspecting that they were following her, otherwise how could they meet again by chance. Zhuang Zhixi greeted them warmly: "Mrs. Zhou, are you off work?"
He looked at Jiang Lu. In the front basket of Jiang Lu's bicycle, there was something with an unknown smell.
Zhuang Zhixi: “…”
Although I don't know what it is, but from a rough look, it vaguely looks like meat.
He smiled and said, "Your family is so well off. We ate meat yesterday and we're still eating meat today."
Jiang Lu felt a little embarrassed, but seeing the young couple's curiosity, she unnaturally gathered the bags in the basket and said, "Aren't our lives the same?"
She smiled and said, "I'm in a hurry to cook, so I'll leave first."
She took a few quick steps, and Zhuang Zhixi and his wife looked at each other and shrugged.
"Why is she acting weird?"
"Who knows what they bought?"
Jiang Lu was a little nervous today. How could she not be nervous? She bought not only lamb kidneys but also eggs. It is said that what you eat is what you replenish. Jiang Lu was thinking about Zhou Qun wholeheartedly.
Who let the scoundrel Bai Fendou cause her man to get hurt?
When Jiang Lu thought of this, he felt even more upset and hated Bai Fendou for being such a bad person.
Zhou Li looked at Jiang Lu who had hurried back, snorted coldly, and said, "Why are you back so late?"
Jiang Lu quickly said, "Mom, I went to buy this. I asked someone to save it for me yesterday."
Mrs. Zhou Li looked at him and nodded with satisfaction. She said, "Xiaoqun should be nourished, but he was injured before, so he needs to rest more. It takes a hundred days for a broken bone to heal, and he is almost there. Even if you are his wife, you can't always pester him. It's too cheap for a woman to always think about those things. It's a good opportunity for you to take a break and he can take good care of himself. After a while, you can have a child."
Although she desperately wanted her son and daughter-in-law to have a child, she couldn't bear to see the two of them being too affectionate. This was her son.
Jiang Lu blushed and nodded.
Zhou Li coughed and said, "Didn't Xiaoqun come back with you?"
Jiang Lu said quickly: "Brother Qun took too many days off before, and...he has been taking the initiative to work overtime after get off work recently. He wants to make the boss feel good about him and make up for it."
Jiang Lu was not happy to mention this. If it weren't for the vicious old woman, her mother-in-law, who was holding her back, her Zhou Qun wouldn't have been in such a difficult situation. But she didn't dare to rebel against her mother-in-law.
Jiang Lu whispered: "Let's cook. We'll be able to eat when Brother Qun comes back."
"How do you make this thing?"
To be honest, this matter really stumped Zhou Li.
She had never made this kind of thing in her life, and she had no idea how to prepare it. However, she knew from the name that it was a good thing, very nutritious. She asked, "How do you make this fried kidney the same way?"
Jiang Lu doesn’t know either.
But she was more knowledgeable than the housewife Zhou Li, and said, "Wash it and boil it first, and then decide whether to eat it with sauce or slice it and stir-fry it."
"OK."
The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law quickly got busy. At this time, Zhuang Zhixi and his wife also came back. As soon as they came back, they saw Zhao Guihua cooking. Mingmei came over excitedly and asked, "Mom, what are we having for dinner tonight?"
Zhao Guihua: "Fried mushrooms."
Mingmei: "Yo ho."
Liang Meifen was proud: "My mother and I have gained a lot today."
They rode their bikes directly to the suburbs, where the competition was less intense than in the city, and the harvest was greater. She pointed to the small basket and said, "Look, it's full of them."
If you pick mushrooms in these places in the city, there won’t be so many.
Mingmei: “A lot.”
"Of course not."
"I'll be on vacation in a few days, let's go together, I also want to go up the mountain." Mingmei was obsessed with going up the mountain.
Zhao Guihua: "Okay, when you have a day off, you two can come with me. The three of us female comrades will show them that women can hold up half the sky."
"Okay." Mingmei laughed crisply.
Leung Mei-fun also nodded in agreement.
"Xiao Zhuang."
Zhuang Zhixi turned around and quickly greeted, "Auntie Wang, why are you here? Come and sit down."
Aunt Wang smiled and said, "Why can't I come over?"
She said bluntly: "Isn't it as casual for me to come to your house as to walk through the city gate?"
Zhuang Zhixi: “That’s right.”
Everyone laughed. Aunt Wang picked up a small stool and sat down, saying, "I came here to talk to you about your grandfather."
Zhuang Zhixi: "Then let's go over to grandpa and talk to him face to face."
Aunt Wang: "Okay."
Previously, Zhuang Zhixi asked Aunt Wang about Teacher Xiang’s aunt. Now that there was some clue, Aunt Wang naturally had to hurry over.
Mingmei: "I'll go too."
Of course she had to be present when it came to her grandfather's affairs.
Then I can pass the message to his mother.
At this time, old man Lan Sihai had just got off work. He saw them coming together and said, "Come in."
Aunt Wang didn't even wait for him to sit down, and said directly: "I asked my old friend about the woman that Xiaozhuang told me about last time. The woman's name is Luo Xiaohe. She has an old mother, a younger sister and a younger brother. The old mother was a little crazy because of the shock of her husband's death, and occasionally she would use a knife to cut people. Her sister divorced because of the old mother's madness, and the man left the house to express his apology. His second sister lives with her family with her children. His youngest brother works in a food factory and is currently single. Let's talk about Luo Xiaohe. She has never been married, but she was engaged that year. Because of a miscarriage, she can no longer have children. What happened to her back then was more or less her own bad luck. I asked about her character, and everyone said that this woman had a very good character, and she was not improper. There was a reason for her pregnancy that year. She just had a bad fate. There would be something going on in their family every few years, and she was delayed to become an old maid."
"Then why does she suddenly want to get married? " Zhuang Zhixi actually didn't believe that she could change her mind so easily. It would be strange for a person who has been single for more than fifty years and has become accustomed to this kind of life to suddenly get married.
Although he didn't tell the teacher, Zhuang Zhixi felt that things might not be that simple.
Although he had a good relationship with Teacher Xiang when he was in school, he did not unconditionally and mindlessly believe everything Teacher Xiang said.
Aunt Wang: "There is indeed some reason behind this."
"You say."
Aunt Wang: "This Luo Xiaohe, doesn't she have an old mother? The crazy one, this old lady is really bad, she is good to the second daughter and the youngest son, but she doesn't care about the eldest daughter. It is obvious that the eldest daughter has contributed the most to the family, but the old lady can't see it and just takes it for granted. The old lady chatted with the neighbors, and she vaguely blamed the daughter, thinking that if the eldest daughter hadn't failed to get married and embarrassed them, the old man would not have been so depressed and passed away so early. Anyway, the old lady more or less blamed the eldest daughter for her own death. Their family has been getting more and more difficult. In short, the old lady doesn't like the eldest daughter. But although she doesn't like the eldest daughter, she doesn't want her to get married. In the early years, she hoped that the eldest daughter would contribute to the family. Dedication. Luo Xiaohe is old now, but the old lady still doesn't want to. Because she is also old, she hopes Luo Xiaohe can take care of her. And seeing that her younger brother is also going to get married, he will have to have children after getting married. She can let Luo Xiaohe take care of the children for her son from time to time. She probably wants to use her eldest daughter as a nanny. As for what the eldest daughter will do in the future, she has never considered it at all. How could it be such a coincidence? When she was talking about this with a group of old ladies in the neighborhood, her eldest daughter heard it. Oh my, it is said that her face was as cold as ice at that time. Then there was news that Luo Xiaohe was going to find another one. It is said that the old lady made a scene at home and said that if she dared to get married, she would sever the mother-daughter relationship. But Luo Xiaohe was very persistent and must get married."
Mingmei heard this and said, "Anyone who has devoted decades to their family and is then despised and schemed against would feel uncomfortable."
Aunt Wang nodded, "That's right. Luo Xiaohe is a stubborn person. Seeing that her mother is trying to scheme against her, she is determined to leave home and get married. Fortunately, the two younger sisters in the Luo family are sensible. The second sister Luo Xiaolian and her brother Luo Xiaoou both unconditionally agree with the eldest sister's decision. After all, when their father passed away, they were half-grown children. They were raised by Luo Xiaohe. These two are not ungrateful. They all agree with the eldest sister's idea, and they also think that the eldest sister has taken care of them for most of her life, and it's time for her to have her own life. Although she is old now, it's never too late as long as the eldest sister is willing. Of course, I didn't say this, but the Luo family said it themselves. I heard that there was a commotion in their family that day, and the two younger sisters stood on the side of the eldest sister Luo. Their neighbors only found out when they lay down at the wall and eavesdropped."
Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei looked at each other. As expected, there are gossips everywhere, and there are also people who gossip.
Aunt Wang: "Grandpa Lan, you see, this is basically the situation in their family. The family relationship is not complicated. Although Luo Xiaohe's mother has some problems, his youngest son Luo Xiaoou insists on taking care of her in her old age without his two sisters worrying about it. Luo Xiaohe himself also has a job, collecting tickets at a movie theater, but he is not a formal worker, but a temporary worker. His monthly salary is eleven yuan."
She continued, "But she doesn't have much dowry. But you know, you can't expect the woman to bring anything when you get married for the second time at your age. I think she has the best conditions among the ones I plan to introduce to you. The main thing is that she has a job."
Even though she is a temporary worker, there are very few middle-aged women of this age who have jobs these days.
After listening to this, Zhuang Zhixi turned to look at Grandpa Lan Sihai and said, "Grandpa, what do you think?"
Although they sounded okay, after all, it was Old Man Lan who was looking for a partner, so they still had to ask for the person's opinion. If the person was not willing, then there was no need to say anything. If Old Man Lan wanted to take a look, then they could get involved.
Lan Sihai: "Sure, tell them about my situation. We won't lie to them. I'm old and have been married several times."
Aunt Wang: "I must say this. As a matchmaker, the most taboo thing we do is to cheat people. Wouldn't that destroy our reputation? I would never do such a thing. Don't worry about this. If you agree to matchmaking, I will find the other party."
Old man Lan Sihai nodded.
He said, “Thank you for your help.”
Aunt Wang: "Well, it's no trouble. You two can see if you can get along. If you two can be attracted to each other, it will be a great joy. If you two don't like each other, I will introduce you to someone else. With your conditions, it won't be hard to find someone."
This is the way the world works. Of course it's not that it's easier for men to find a partner than for women, but it's because of...work.
It is easy to find a worker with a formal job.
This is what she saw in the city. If she looked in the countryside, even though Old Man Lan was in his seventies, it would be easy for him to find a woman in her forties. After all, he had a formal job and earned more. These days, having a formal job is more important than anything else.
"Since you agree, I will instigate it."
Zhuang Zhixi laughed and said, "Thank you, Aunt Wang. Don't worry, Aunt Wang, if you can introduce someone to my grandfather, he will definitely not be stingy with the matchmaker gift."
Mr. Lan glared at him: "You know this again?"
Zhuang Zhixi smiled: "Of course, I am your grandson-in-law. Of course I know you."
Old Man Blue: "Oh, you know me. You really know me too well. I've never met anyone who knows me so well."
Aunt Wang: “…”
Here he comes, here he comes with his sarcastic look again.
She stood up decisively: "Then I'll go home and cook. You take care of this matter."
But before she even took this step out, she frowned: "Uh, what's that weird smell?"
At this time, not to mention Aunt Wang, Zhuang Zhixi and Mingmei also covered their noses at once, feeling that the smell was somewhat pungent.
How to say it.
The air today is filled with a pungent smell. It's really pungent.
If you have a keen nose, you can smell a bit of mutton smell.
That is, a huge fishy smell.
It's unbelievable.
Several people decisively covered their noses, and Aunt Wang cursed: "Who the hell peed their pants?"
Mingmei reminded her, "Peeing in your pants doesn't smell that bad."
Aunt Wang's face turned black, and she angrily asked, "Who fell into the toilet again?"
This statement doesn't seem to be quite right. After all, the toilet is smelly, not this smell.
If others don't know, they should know it. After all, someone in their yard has been wandering around and "eating and drinking" in the public toilet. It's casual, Mingmei whispered: "It doesn't seem to taste like this."
Old Master Lan also covered his nose and said, "Oh my god, what a strong smell! Stop guessing what it is, and quickly find out who did it!"
At this time he could even speak normally, but there was nothing he could do. The smell was so strong that he couldn't stand it!
Several people hurried out, and when they came out, they almost fell down. Why? Because the smell outside was more obvious, and the whole yard was filled with an indescribable smell. It was like being in a public toilet, oh, it was better than a toilet!
They never imagined that one day they would have to face such a taste.
It's not just them. The smell is so overbearing that it makes people come all at once.
It seemed that Zhao Guihua had already led her family out, standing at the door with frowns on their faces, covering their mouths and noses, looking like they had lost all hope in life. The mother-in-law and daughter-in-law of the Su family next door, along with their three children, also came out, and their expressions were not much better.
Tonglai even asked a soul-searching question: "Did someone fall into the toilet again?"
As a former toilet strongman, Jin Lai said in a low voice: "It doesn't taste like that."
The Bai family father and son looked like they were about to faint from the fumes. Bai Fendou cursed: "What a bastard!"
The people in the backyard also came out, and every household was flocking to the front yard. It was obvious that the smell came from the front yard.
Everyone looked at each other, and soon, they all looked at the Zhou family.
Not to mention that the smell was obviously coming from his house, even if it wasn't coming from his house, it was definitely related to their family. After all, Zhou Lishi, who was such a nosy person, didn't come out under such circumstances, so it was easy to imagine why.
"This was done by the Zhou family, right?"
"Need I say that? Didn't you see that no one came out?"
"But what is his family doing? Are they trying to come up with some secret recipe for having children?"
Because they have never had children, Zhou Li and Jiang Lu are keen on various folk remedies. In their opinion, hospitals are unreliable and folk remedies can only cure serious illnesses. Not being cheated out of everything is a sign of a simple social environment.
"Auntie Wang, go ask."
"Yes, you are the one in charge of the dean, you can't just ignore him. I'm so sick that I want to vomit..."
"Don't talk about you, my son is retching so badly..."
Everyone was very angry. It's okay to cook, but you can't make such a strong smell. This reminded everyone of the incident of falling into the pit. When the hot water was flushed, oh my, that smell!
They haven't eaten well for many days and are afraid to stay at home.
All in all, it's a tragedy.
Today, they felt that feeling again.
Although there are slight differences, this kind of charm that goes deep into the bones is also irresistible.
"Oh no, did Aunt Zhou wet her pants?"
"No way, the smell can't be that strong, she's not a weasel."
"vomit..."
"Don't vomit."
Zhao Guihua saw everyone's miserable state and wondered what the Zhou family was up to. This smell was too much for most people to bear. She covered her mouth and nose without relaxing, and even mumbled as she spoke: "Tiger-headed little swallows, cover yourselves and don't talk. If you can't, hurry home. Children can't bear this smell, don't get poisoned."
Hutou and Xiaoyanzi nodded seriously, and the two children's four big eyes were wide open.
They don't leave, they don't miss out.
Zhao Guihua's words influenced others, and Aunt Su also hurriedly pushed the children at home and said, "Come into the house quickly."
The three cubs, Jinlai, Yinlai and Tonglai, shook their heads and firmly rejected the adults' kindness. They did not want to miss such an occasion.
If you think about it, these kids in their yard are well-informed. At such a young age, they have seen all kinds of wonderful things that others cannot see. It is really enviable.
Everyone looked at the Zhou family. Aunt Wang sighed. As the manager of the courtyard, she had to go, but she really couldn't take the step. She couldn't let herself be knocked unconscious by the fumes as soon as she entered the door, right?
No way? Aunt Wang was deeply suspicious. She looked around and said, "Old Zhao, can you come with me?"
Zhao Guihua's eyes widened instantly in disbelief. What kind of grudge do we have? Why are you dragging me into this?
Aunt Wang looked at Zhao Guihua's expression and said helplessly, "You don't have to go in. Wait for me at the door. If I faint from the fumes, drag me out quickly."
Zhuang Zhixi spoke in a rather reasonable tone, saying, "It's definitely not possible to make them faint. Look at Aunt Zhou and Jiang Lu, they were able to hold it in their homes and not come out, which shows that the smell is just a bit strong. It's impossible for them to faint. If they really couldn't hold it, they would have definitely come out, so... is it okay?"
Aunt Wang: "That's not what they said. What if they have fainted in the house?"
Zhuang Zhixi: "Emma, that's right."
He said, "Well, why not just shout a few times and ask them to come out."
No matter it is right or not, it is always okay to call people first.
This way we can know whether the mother-in-law and daughter-in-law have fainted in the house.
Aunt Wang: “Right!”
She hurriedly said, "Old Zhou, Mrs. Zhou Li, if you are home, just let me know."
She added: "Jiang Lu! Come out for a moment!"
Everyone in the yard was talking about the smell, which was like a weasel's nest being blown up. It was really unbearable. And in the house, the Zhou family's mother-in-law and daughter-in-law really didn't faint. This wasn't a poison gas bomb, so how could they faint?
They covered their mouths and noses with difficulty, feeling quite helpless.
Jiang Lu whispered: "Mother-in-law, look everyone is here... let's go out."
Mrs. Zhou Li was also very angry and cursed, "It's all because of you, little bitch. Look at what you brought back. You said it was a great tonic, but you haven't even started to recover yet and you're already dead. How can you do this? Oh, tell me! Did you do it on purpose?"
Jiang Lu's eyes turned red with grievance: "Mom, how can you think of me like this? You know me well. I just want to replenish Brother Qun's body."
Zhou Lishi's voice was loud, and even when she lowered her voice it was not low. Everyone could hear her scolding Jiang Lu in the room. Aunt Wang was really speechless. She shouted: "Zhou Lishi, Jiang Lu, come out!"
As for why he is not called Zhou Qun.
They haven't seen Zhou Qun come home since get off work.
Bai Fendou could no longer bear it and said, "Auntie Wang, please move aside. I'll kick the door open. Otherwise, they'll start a fight. They did something so outrageous to us, and they thought they could just hide it. It's a good meal time, and we're so unlucky!"
Bai Fendou was particularly angry. He had earned a little money as extra income, and today he bought a piece of braised pork and ate it secretly.
He didn't even give this to his beloved Wang Xiangxiu, and planned to eat it secretly with his father. He didn't even have such delicious meat in his, and now he felt poisoned. How could he not be mouth? "It's really crazy and heartless, so heartless... so heartless! Anyway, it's too much!" Bai Fendou couldn't stand angry, and immediately rushed up to kick the door.
Aunt Wang: "Don't be impulsive..."
If they kicked the door, there would be endless arguments. Aunt Wang was not happy to see such a situation.
Fortunately, they heard the sound of kicking the door, and the people in the room also heard it.
Mrs. Zhou Li still cherishes her own door. It was just repaired not long ago. If it is kicked in pieces again, it will have to be repaired again!
Although she could still blackmail Bai Fendou into giving her a lesson, her son was right. It was not a good time to show off too much recently. Now was a good time to downplay the recent events in their family. She couldn't let all the previous efforts go to waste. So she took a deep breath and creaked open the door.
This arrogant and mean old lady opened the door with a bit of domineering air.
Zhou Li yelled, "What are you all doing gathering outside my house? Are you looking for trouble to bully others?"
She struck first.
Zhao Guihua and other "victims": "..."
All of them are more wronged than Dou E.
It was Grandpa Lan who was the first to talk about this. "My dear sister, I know we have some grievances. But if you have anything to say, just come straight to the point. I respect you as a man, but you are trying to suffocate me. Isn't that a bit too much?"
"Pfft!" Someone laughed.
Bai Fendou followed suit: "Grandpa Lan is right. If you have the ability, just come here! What kind of ability is it to cook weasel feces and urine at home?"
Everyone agreed that even the toilet didn't have this smell.
I have smelled the smell of this kind of horse fork worm on the weasel a few years ago...
Who knows, this family might really be tinkering with this.
Zhou Li was shaking with anger. These people really don't know how to talk. Why are they so irritating?
She said loudly, "What do you mean? What's the matter? I'm cooking at home, what's it to you? You really have nothing to do, right? You control everything. What I cook and eat at home, what does it have to do with you? Do you have to come to my house to find fault? I don't think you are jealous, are you? You are jealous that my family lives well, you are jealous that my family can afford meat, so you are so angry that you come to find fault with the slightest smell. I don't feel any smell, my family is cooking meat, isn't this smell delicious?"
She lied with her eyes open, and insisted on saying that something dead was alive and something smelly was fragrant.
Zhuang Zhixi: "Auntie Zhou, if you say that, we will be really sad. It is said that the eyes of the masses are sharp. In my opinion, the noses of the masses are also sharp. You can doubt our character, but you can't doubt that our noses are not good, right? How can you say that this smell is fragrant?"
"That's right, this smell is about to be sent away."
"Auntie Zhou, can you please be quiet? It wasn't long ago that someone fell into the toilet in our yard. We have finally gotten rid of the shadow of this incident. Can you please stop giving others new topics to talk about? Look..."
The passerby pointed, and everyone looked in the direction of his finger and immediately saw a group of onlookers.
The smell was indeed pungent, but it didn't spread to other courtyards. But they could smell it clearly in their courtyard. When everyone gathered in the courtyard, was talking loudly, which attracted a group of people to watch the fun. When they walked to the door, the smell came immediately! They knew why these people gathered in the courtyard and were chattering. This smell was really annoying!
Everyone was pointing and talking.
Aunt Wang almost choked up. The reputation of their courtyard...
She quickly said, "Everyone, stop watching the fun and go away."
"Auntie Wang, what's going on in your yard?"
“This smell.”
"The Zhou family? Someone from his family fell into the pit again?"
"But isn't it written in the pit that you can't swim?"
"Then can't I go down and take a shower?"
When Mrs. Zhou Li heard this, she couldn't help but jump up and down immediately: "What are you doing! Are you here to watch the fun? My family is just boiling an egg, is that not okay? The smell is a bit strong, but we don't affect other families, so who wouldn't want to eat some meat? Don't other families eat pig intestines? Why are you bullying our family? Are you bullying us because we don't have many children? No way! You wouldn't do that!"
This time, Zhou Li was really aggrieved, although their family did have a bad smell.
But it wasn't intentional.
Besides, it's Jiang Lu's fault!
She feels so wronged!
Mrs. Zhou Li's eyes turned red: "Did an old lady like me provoke you? I am innocent!"
She looked quite innocent like this. She said, "I just want to eat something delicious. What's wrong with that?"
"But eggs don't taste like this! Did you cook them with urine?"
"Hey, you know what, I heard there is such a dish."
"Ugh... so disgusting, who invented this?"
"Boy's urine, clean."
"That's disgusting too..."
Everyone has strayed off topic again.
Zhou Li was so angry that she trembled: "It's not that egg, don't talk nonsense to me, my family just boils it in plain water, don't talk nonsense to me!"
"This is impossible!"
"That's right, no matter how hard you cook chicken eggs, duck eggs, or goose eggs, they won't taste this good!"
Zhou Li cried, "Neither!"
"Neither? What does that smell like?"
"Why are you still talking nonsense?"
Mrs. Zhou Li: "What nonsense am I talking about? God will strike me down if I talk nonsense! What I cook at home is eggs!"
"Then tell me, what eggs are you talking about?" Zhuang Zhixi interrupted.
"Sheep!!!" Zhou Li roared with all her might! "Hahahahahahaha."
Everyone laughed and said, "You are talking nonsense. How can a sheep lay eggs? Sheep are obviously... uh."
What he was saying suddenly stopped.
At this time, everyone finally realized that this egg was not that egg.
All along, they weren't talking about an "egg".
Ah this...
This is very embarrassing.
Besides, this really cannot be avoided by others.
After all, Zhou Qun had been injured in the back by Bai Fendou before. Everyone's condemning eyes immediately focused on Bai Fendou. It was all your fault.
Bai Fendou: “???”
Why did everyone come to see him all of a sudden? So what was this?
This guy is still a little stupid and didn't react.
Zhuang Zhixi spoke first without waiting for him to react: "Well, this person has the freedom to eat. Although, although the taste is indeed a bit strong, he needs to eat a lot of tonic. As neighbors, we should respect his idea of seeking medical treatment. Well, anyway, anyway, I don't care, you can do whatever you want..."
He held his wife and said, "Let's go home and eat."
The couple were the first to evacuate the battlefield.
Old Master Lan looked at Zhou Li and her daughter-in-law with sympathy, thinking, is the man in this family useless? He also closed the door silently, well, just bear with it. After all, they are all useless.
Zhao Guihua: "Go home for dinner."
Well, all the Zhuang family members have left.
And Li Fang also pulled her mother: "Mom, let's go home, let's be considerate."
Aunt Wang was also dragged away by her daughter.
Wang Xiangxiu's eyes flickered. He was originally a five-second man, so in the future... wouldn't he have no five seconds at all? She curled her lips, thinking that this man was even more useless, and she also said, "Mom, let's go home."
Everyone quickly found excuses and left the scene.
Although the taste is indeed disgusting, just bear with it, after all, people need to replenish their eggs.
It's really not easy for Zhou Qun.
At this time, Zhou Qun had already walked to the entrance of the alley and was about to return home.
Well, as long as he works hard, it will be easy to build a good reputation...
So, after working overtime for a few days, people don't mention his mother's nonsense anymore? Not bad! Huh? Why are there so many people at the entrance of the yard? (End of this chapter)
