The next day.
Liu Xiaojun slept without any dreams until noon.
Nothing else, I just feel very hungry after sleeping for so long.
I got up, washed, and went to the kitchen to eat the boiled eggs that Liu Huizhen had left for me for breakfast. Only then did I feel alive again.
"Knock knock knock, Xiaojun, it's the Third Uncle."
Just after I finished eating the eggs, there was a knock on the door.
"Uncle, come in."
Uncle Three: "Xiaojun, did we agree to teach you how to paint yesterday?"
Liu Xiaojun stretched and said, "I remember, I remember." He felt a little sleepy after just waking up.
The third uncle felt sad when he saw Liu Xiaojun's appearance.
As the third uncle of the same courtyard, he was the best at calculating others. Even Jia Zhang, who was almost as famous as him, had never gotten anything from him.
But I happened to fall into trouble with this kid one after another. I gave away four pots of flowers, but I only got a painting of a pair of fish playing with a pearl.
"Xiaojun, are the flowers that Third Uncle is taking care of okay?"
"It's okay. I still trust Uncle San when it comes to growing flowers."
Liu Xiaojun said casually.
improvise???
The third uncle was so angry that his head felt dizzy. These were the four best pots of flowers he had ever grown!
Seeing that he took Liu Xiaojun's painting, he must have written a lot of couplets to make it back!
This kid, I will get back at him sooner or later and get back at him!
Liu Xiaojun really didn't care what the third uncle thought. Anyway, he got the bargain of the flowers.
"By the way, Third Uncle, my little girl Tangtang will be six years old during the Chinese New Year. She will go to your Red Star Primary School then. Please make arrangements for her."
Third Uncle: "I can arrange that."
Nowadays, it is quite common for children to go directly to first grade without attending kindergarten, and the procedures are easy to handle.
It’s just that the third uncle wanted to get some benefits from Liu Xiaojun, so he was just waiting for Liu Xiaojun to speak.
Seeing that the third uncle didn't say anything, Liu Xiaojun naturally knew what he was planning.
But forget about taking advantage of him. As long as the third uncle still wants to learn painting from me, I have to help him.
"Oh, my hand seems to be a little painful. I'm afraid I can't teach Uncle San to draw today."
Third Uncle: “…”
Can you be a little more shameless!
"Okay, after the Lantern Festival, Third Uncle will take Tangtang to do it!" Then he continued, "Xiaojun, will your hand heal?"
Liu Xiaojun: "Oh, how come you got better all of a sudden?"
Third Uncle: “…”
I have to say that the third uncle is worthy of being an elementary school teacher. He has a strong learning ability.
Liu Xiaojun only drew it three or four times, but the third uncle was able to copy it and make it look pretty good.
"Okay, that's all for today. Go back and draw more of these. If you do this for a long time, you'll definitely be able to use them next New Year!"
Having said that, Liu Xiaojun quickly chased the man out so as not to delay him from thinking about the decoration design of the roast rabbit shop!
"Okay, then the Third Master will go back first."
When the third uncle saw the pattern on the painting, he was so happy that he couldn't stop smiling.
God of Wealth!
Xiaojun is really a reliable guy. The name of this pattern sounds auspicious.
With this pattern, the aunties in the yard will definitely buy couplets from him next year!
After all, who doesn’t want to have money to buy white flour and eat meat?
After sending the third uncle away, I looked at my watch and it was almost ten o'clock.
If I remember correctly, Lou Xiao'e made an appointment with Xu Damao to have dinner at the Siheyuan today!
He was half asleep in the morning and vaguely heard his mother mention that a rabbit seemed to be missing from the house.
He had long discovered that Xu Damao was staring at his rabbit with "evil intentions." Although Jia Dongxu had returned, Jia Dongxu had just returned and was very timid, but this was definitely not done by Jia Dongxu.
Then the only one left is Xu Damao. Xu Damao must be trying to show his affection to Lou Xiaoe by stealing his rabbit at this time.
I have to say that Liu Xiaojun has a pretty good brain and guessed everything right.
Xu Damao from next door had already asked his mother to sew the rabbit scarf and was waiting to give it to Lou Xiao'e when she came.
Liu Xiaojun continued to speculate, according to Xu Damao's three-step process of chasing the goddess.
First eat, then give gifts, and finally take a short trip... bah... finally give people money and start making big promises.
Liu Xiaojun roughly deduced that Xu Damao must have invited Lou Xiaoe to have lunch at his home. When the meal was almost over and the atmosphere was right, he would give her a gift and take the opportunity to win Lou Xiaoe's heart.
Xu Damao has a very bad mouth and often makes up gossips about Sha Zhu and his mother.
It's time to teach a lesson!
Since he cares so much about Lou Xiao'e, then he can't be with Lou Xiao'e!
Not only that, he must pay the price for stealing the rabbits. It would be best if he were killed in public when everyone is in the courtyard!
Today is the sixth day of the first lunar month. Many workers from the steel rolling mill in the courtyard have returned to work early and will not be back until lunchtime.
It's only ten o'clock now, it's not time for dinner yet, and Lou Xiao'e hasn't come yet. If I rush out now to expose him, I won't achieve the goal of killing two birds with one stone.
Liu Xiaojun planned to wait until after dinner to expose Xu Damao in public. Moreover, he didn't have to do the job himself, as there were naturally people more suitable than him.
This person is the second uncle.
The second uncle is a high-ranking official, and he is always the first to rush to the front in matters of the spotlight like this.
As long as Liu Xiaojun tells him that he is confident enough to catch Xu Damao "stealing rabbits", the Second Uncle will be more excited than anyone else!
Besides, the position of the eldest uncle in the courtyard has been undecided for a long time, and the second uncle has long wanted to take the position. Isn’t it that he has been suffering from the lack of achievements to be noticed by the street office?
