Chapter 28
"Okay, let's go together." Bi Chunliu glanced at the two of them. These two kids were really annoying sometimes. After saying that, Bi Chunliu walked out first, and Bi Xiahe followed behind her eldest sister.
"Sister, wait for me—" Bi Qiuguo and Bi Weiguo quickly got out of bed and put on their shoes, then shouted. They were really scared.
Bi Chunliu walked slowly and just passed by Courtyard No. 4 where Cai Xiaorong was. He glanced towards the courtyard and saw a white shadow flash by.
!!!
Bi Chunliu's back was covered in goosebumps, wasn't it?! Even his arms were shaking uncontrollably, and a crackling sound reached his ears.
No, I've been back for two or three days, and you're treating me like this? I'm not here to live my daily life, but to play a thriller script? ! !
"Big, big sister..." Bi Xiahe's voice was vague.
!!
"What's wrong?" Bi Chunliu was so nervous he couldn't even swallow, his voice stiff as he whispered. "Did I just get dazzled?" Ahaha! It must have been dazzled! Who doesn't get dazzled sometimes? He silently recited the twenty-four words of the core values! His mind automatically played revolutionary songs. The East is Red ~ The Sun is Rising ~
Bi Xiahe hugged her elder sister's arm tightly: "Hiss~~The wind was so cold just now..." Crunching, "Look, I can't control my teeth..."
Bi Chunliu: “………………” She said it! She said that God had sent her back so that she could improve her life and change her fate with her younger siblings! How could such a terrifying thing appear? Absolutely impossible!
"Sister!! Wait for us!" Bi Weiguo and Bi Qiuguo ran over.
Bi Chunliu straightened his back and turned around, "Waiting."
The two younger sisters were still nearby. Bi Chunliu, having mustered up his courage, calmly went to the toilet and was holding up his pants when he heard a sound.
"You're so annoying! I told you not to come visit me these past two days! My grandmother is keeping a close eye on me."
"What's wrong with her staring at me? How can I be afraid of an old hag like her? Don't you know how much I miss you? Don't you miss me? Let me kiss you..."
The "slurp, slurp, slurp" sound was clearly heard by the four people of the Bi family in the dark night.
Bi Chunliu: ………No, you guys are so unrefined…Even if you don’t mind the stench, can’t you hear the toilet down there?! If you’re brave enough, come back here in the middle of summer and kiss me. I’ll stink you up for a mile!
"Big sister..." Bi Xiahe lowered her voice and called quietly.
Bi Chunliu tugged at the clothes of his two sisters and pointed outside, meaning them to get out quickly.
The three sisters went out and saw Bi Weiguo already waiting outside the toilet.
"Big sister..." Bi Weiguo grabbed his pants and whispered. It was all because of those two people who suddenly spoke and scared him. As a result, he accidentally peed on his pants. Now he had to wash his pants when he got home.
"Stop talking and go."
Only after returning home did Bi Qiuguo dare to breathe deeply. He tightly grasped his elder sister's hand and shouted, "Elder sister——"
Bi Chunliu touched Bi Qiuguo's face and comforted him: "Don't be afraid, we don't know who it is anyway, so just pretend we don't know about this." It's enough to be aware of the situation now, there's nothing they can do.
Bi Qiuguo shook her head: "Sister, I'm not scared, I'm excited! Are they having an affair?" In her more than ten years of life, she had never seen, no, heard such a thing with her own ears!
Bi Chunliu: "..." Then he said sternly: "Don't say such things in the future. Whether they are or not is none of our business." He looked seriously at Bi Qiuguo who was afraid to speak, as well as Bi Weiguo and Bi Xiahe who had quieted down. "From now on, if you encounter anything, remember to tell me when you get home. No matter what you do, remember to be cautious in what you say and do. Protecting yourself is the most important thing."
Honestly, Bi Chunliu didn't feel particularly secure. She wondered why Weiguo had ended up like that in his previous life. Did he lose hope of living, or did he accidentally discover something and be murdered? So, when things happened, it was fine to just watch the fun together. But if she knew something on her own, she'd better keep it to herself and not say anything. She didn't have any big wishes, just that the four of them could be safe and healthy.
Bi Qiuguo lowered her head and admitted her mistake, "Sister, I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have said such things."
Looking at her sister in front of her, Bi Chunliu couldn't bear it and hugged her, "Sister is not scolding you. Sister knows that you are usually a good child, but Qiuguo, there are many people with ulterior motives in this world. Sometimes our unintentional words may cause serious or even irreparable harm to others. Xia He, be careful in what you do. Sister hopes you don't be afraid. Sister is your backer. Weiguo and Qiuguo are kind and outspoken. If you two have anything bad to say outside, you can tell us, but when you are outside, you must remember not to speak faster than your brain. Do you understand what sister said?" Bi Chunliu hoped that she would tell them again and again not to be afraid of things, and hoped that their family could successfully get through when something happened.
Tears fell from Bi Qiuguo's eyes, "Woo woo - Big sister, I understand -"
Bi Weiguo and Bi Xiahe also expressed their opinions, "Sister, I understand too."
"Well, big sister believes in you." Bi Chunliu looked at Bi Weiguo's posture, "Weiguo, your posture? Are you in a hurry to go to bed?" Why are you pulling at your pants?
Bi Weiguo felt embarrassed. "I was startled by what those two people said just now. I accidentally got my pants wet..."
Bi Chunliu's mouth twitched: "......" Just say, don't talk about love next to the toilet, what a big impact it will have on others! !
"Pfft~" Bi Qiuguo burst into laughter and stopped crying.
Bi Xiahe raised her eyebrows and urged: "Second brother, you should go wash your pants quickly..."
Bi Weiguo resigned himself to his fate and went to wash his pants. Bi Xiahe came close to Bi Chunliu and whispered, "Sister, do you think the voices of those two people just now sound familiar?"
"Did you recognize who it was?"
Bi Xiahe shook her head, "No, but it sounds familiar."
Bi Chunliu thought about it, and honestly, she felt quite familiar. Who could it be? "Forget it. The toilet wall is right over there, right next to Taohua Hutong. Who knows? We don't know the people there very well. Maybe we heard it while passing by. Don't dwell on it. You should think about tomorrow's dumplings."
After Bi Weiguo finished washing his pants, the family lay quietly in bed. Bi Chunliu was just beginning to feel sleepy and was about to fall asleep.
"Big sister——" Bi Qiuguo's crying voice rang out.
Bi Chunliu shuddered, quickly sat up, and asked anxiously, "What's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?"
"Suck—" Bi Qiuguo also sat up, "Didn't you make me miss dumplings? I'm so greedy that I can't sleep now..."
Bi Xiahe: “…”
Bi Chunliu: “…”
Outside, Bi Weiguo, who was also awake, said, "…………" He turned over silently. "Old Four is so greedy… I'm different. I just go to sleep, eat a meal in my dream, and eat another meal tomorrow. I'm really smart!
Bi Chunliu lay down again, "If you don't sleep now, you'll have to eat two fewer dumplings than us tomorrow!"
"Please don't, sister, I'm going to sleep right away!" After saying that, she lay down and pretended to snore.
“…”
.
The next day, after making a simple breakfast and asking three people to wash and clean, Bi Chunliu went to the supply and marketing cooperative happily.
The clock was just as Liu Xiaoyue had said. A piece was missing from the back, and there were also scratches on the lower part of the front. But that didn't matter. As a wall clock, its most important function was to tell time! And it was cheap! If it hadn't had these flaws, she wouldn't have been able to buy it for almost half the price!
It’s worth it!
Bi Chunliu handed the forty yuan in his hand to Liu Xiaoyue. Liu Xiaoyue shook her head and said in a low voice, "Our director actually gave us a lower price in the end, thirty-three yuan. Please don't tell anyone."
!!
I didn't expect Liu Xiaoyue to be able to negotiate such a price for me. Bi Chunliu thought about it, put away the five yuan, and whispered, "Sister Xiaoyue, thanks to you, take these two yuan and buy some facial cream or something!"
"No, no, I didn't do anything." Liu Xiaoyue didn't expect Bi Chunliu to be so generous. He actually said that he would give her the extra two dollars. She refused repeatedly.
Bi Chunliu shook her head, "Sister, don't be polite with me. I'll take my wall clock home now, haha..." Last night, Sister Xiaoyue told her the lowest price was thirty-five, and today it was two yuan lower. She must have some favors involved. It's impossible for her to just make people work without giving them any benefits.
Liu Xiaoyue: "Okay, I got it. I'll tell you next time when I have something good."
Someone came from the front and called Liu Xiaoyue.
"Sister Xiaoyue, go get busy. I'll be home soon." Bi Chunliu picked up the small wooden box that contained the wall clock. This wooden box was just found by Liu Xiaoyue for her. She didn't ask for money, so she could put things in it when she got home.
Liu Xiaoyue walked out of the warehouse and took a look. "Okay, Chunliu, you can take it without worry. I'll go over and pay for the wall clock first, and then go to the counter."
"good!"
Most of the factories are closed today, and there are crowds of people coming to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy things.
Liu Xiaoyue said something to Bi Chunliu and trotted off. When Bi Chunliu passed the fabric counter, he saw Liu Xiaoyue already busy at the counter, pulling the fabric in one hand and holding the scissors in the other, and shouting, "Line up and decide how much you want."
Bi Chunliu squeezed through the crowd and finally got out of the door with his things. He breathed a sigh of relief. Wow, it felt like the Spring Festival travel rush.
It's better to go home quickly. Bi Chunliu saw an old lady carrying a basket out of the corner of her eye. She looked at the people coming and going in front of the supply and marketing cooperative with a hesitant look on her face. When she saw Bi Chunliu looking at her, she quickly lowered her head, stopped and turned away.
This should be someone who comes to exchange things, right?
"Aunt, aunt, please wait for me." Bi Chunliu immediately chased after him.
Hearing this, the old lady didn't even dare to turn her head, and her little feet moved even faster. How unlucky she was! She was discovered on her first visit!
After all, Bi Chunliu was young and caught up with her. "Aunt, it's me, Xiaohong. Aren't you here to see my mom?" She said while winking at her basket.
Auntie: "Ah? Ah! Hong, I took a wrong turn and can't find your house."
"Let's go, auntie."
Bi Chunliu led the old lady into an alley and asked, "Auntie, what are you here to exchange for?"
Auntie: "Eggs, do you want some?"
"Yes! How do you change it?"
After some bargaining, Bi Chunliu finally bought the thirty-five eggs and the basket that the old lady brought for one yuan and ten cents.
Bi Chunliu handed the money to the old lady and reminded her, "Auntie, if you come here again in the future, it's best to go to those family housing estates, or the hospital entrance, or avoid the supply and marketing cooperative entrance."
The old lady carefully wrapped the money in two or three layers of handkerchief and said, "Oh, I understand. Thank you, little girl."
