Dashan scratched his head nervously and moved the meat bun in his hand back!
"To be honest, we brothers pooled our money to buy these meat buns.
After all, it’s the first time you visit your relatives’ house, and they may not necessarily appreciate the mountain products you offer.
I just wanted to exchange the money and give them a good meal."
Dashan even hid his shoes with exposed toes behind his back.
In Ding Gui's eyes, this move was a typical attempt to show off one's wealth.
He sneered in his heart, then he put his arm around Dashan's shoulders like a good friend and said, "You are right.
But what should we do next? You have to think it through!"
Dashan's eyes and eyebrows were full of smiles: "My relative said that he can find some odd jobs for me to carry heavy bags.
We brothers have hands and feet, and we all say that there are many opportunities in big cities and we will definitely not starve to death.
When I can have a house in this big yard like you guys, I will have no regrets in my life."
Ding Gui rubbed his chin and said, "Hey, brother, what are you talking about?
But speaking of work, I have a good place to go.
I wonder if you are interested?"
Dashan's eyes lit up and he quickly pulled Ding Gui into an alley nearby.
He even handed over the two meat buns wrapped in oil paper in his hand and said, "Hey, old man, where are we going?
Oh, you don’t know, if we brothers hadn’t really been unable to stay in the countryside and couldn’t even afford to eat, we would never have come to Beijing to live with our relatives.
When we arrived last night, the relative treated us with complete disdain.
It's like we are just poor relatives who come to beg for money. There are four of us brothers, so why can't we make a career?
Do you have to look at other people's faces?"
Ding Gui watched as he gave out a little bait and the person in front of him revealed his identity.
I suddenly felt that this man had a stupid body but was actually very simple-minded.
Ding Gui pretended to be reserved and pushed the oil-paper bag out. Dashan frowned and handed another oil-paper bag to Ding Gui.
Dashan had a smile on his face and looked flattering, but in fact, he had been cursing in his heart, thinking that this bastard was too greedy.
Ding Gui swallowed his saliva, raised his chin, and took the oil paper bag: "I think you are an honest boy. If you are willing to follow me, I promise to make sure that you four brothers will have delicious food and drinks."
Dashan did not miss the fleeting cunning in Ding Gui's eyes.
He smiled more earnestly: “Then I’ll trouble you, Brother Ding.
I'll send these things back first, otherwise the relative will be upset again."
"Okay, after breakfast, just come over here to find me."
Dashan bowed and left.
In the yard, Ding Gui's mother shouted at the top of her voice: "Da Gui, come back quickly for dinner."
Ding Gui wolfed down the four meat buns in his hand, crumpled up the oil paper bag in his hand, and threw it in the corner.
When he arrived at the door of his house, he even wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeves!
Having just eaten a bag of greasy meat buns, Ding Gui looked at the multi-grain porridge and light side dishes in the pot with a look of disgust.
Ding Gui Niang knocked the basin with a spoon impatiently: "What's that expression on your face?
You do nothing all day long, just run outside every day. It's all thanks to your brother and sister-in-law for giving you some whole grain porridge."
Ding Gui is now in his 30s, still unmarried and without a place to live.
They occupied two rooms in this yard, one for Ding Gui's elder brother, his wife, and two or three children.
Ding Gui lives in the same room with his parents.
Fortunately, these houses are relatively large and can be divided into two small rooms with wooden boards. Otherwise, it would be so embarrassing if it were made public.
Sister-in-law Ding Gui looked disgusted, picked up the porridge, added two chopsticks of vegetables, and threw it heavily in front of her child, then raised her voice and said, "What are you looking at? Don't you know how to eat?
This little bit of grain is still supplied by me. If it weren’t for me, you’d all be starving!”
This seems to be scolding the child, but in fact it is a veiled attack on someone else.
Ding Gui’s face flushed with anger, and he threw away his chopsticks and stood up: “Sister-in-law, isn’t what you said a bit too much?
Do you really think I'd be so stingy as to eat this little bit of your food?"
After saying this, Ding Gui walked out with his hands behind his back.
More than a dozen families in the yard could see it clearly and now they lowered their heads and whispered to each other.
Ding Gui's sister-in-law was so embarrassed by what her brother-in-law said that she threw a pair of chopsticks in anger and said, "Mom, did you see that? He still has the nerve to throw plates and bowls?
Since I married into your family all these years ago, all my salary has been subsidized.
He does nothing but eat and drink at home all day long, but has he brought back even a chicken feather? "
Ding Gui Niang was a little embarrassed and said in a low voice: "Old man, the child is still young, don't argue with him."
This made Ding Gui's sister-in-law laugh: "He's already 38 years old since the beginning of the year, which means he's two months older than me. How can he still be younger?"
There were low laughs all around. Ding Gui Niang choked and dared not say anything more. She lowered her head in disappointment.
On the other side, Ding Gui, after leaving home, went directly to the black market in the south.
The young man who was smoking under a big tree saw Ding Gui coming over and sneered, "Ding Gui, why did you want to come here today?
Did you find what Brother Zhang asked you to find? "
Ding Gui glanced at him with a sidelong glance, straightened his clothes, and said, "If I can't find it, can I come over?
Don't look down on others!"
The man looked surprised: "Oh, you really found it?"
Ding Gui snorted coldly and walked inside without saying anything.
After crossing an alley, Ding Gui knocked on the back door of a courtyard.
After the door opened, seven or eight people in the yard sat around a table, eating the meat buns on the table with relish.
In the past, Ding Gui wanted to press his eyes on the meat buns, but now he walked in without looking away.
This surprised Zhang Si. He kicked a bench in front of Ding Gui and asked, "How come you have time to come here today?"
Ding Gui rubbed his hands, smiled flatteringly, and said to Zhang Si: "Fourth brother, I really didn't find what you asked me to find before.
But I found a few people...”
"oh?"
“They all just came to Beijing and they are unfamiliar to everyone.
Aren’t you short of someone to run goods for you recently?
I can just pull them over here, give them a little money, and let them take care of everything...!"
Ding Gui's words made everyone who was eating there put down their chopsticks subconsciously.
His eyes were fixed indifferently on the man who was nodding and bowing.
Ding Gui was a little nervous as he was being watched by so many people.
Who are these people? They are all close associates of the gangster boss.
From Zhang Er to Zhang Shi, they have people in the black markets of several nearby provinces. You can imagine how powerful they are.
