Chapter 25
Last night there was a thunderstorm, and the rain fell like banana leaves, and the ground outside was covered with pink.
The wealthy lady next door was sweeping the rain, muttering that the crabapple tree was disturbing people, and wanted to call people on the street to cut down the tree.
Lin Yao came over with a small broom to help, "Auntie, crabapple flowers have many uses, so if you can avoid cutting them down, then do so."
"Flowers are just flowers, what use can they have besides being beautiful?"
The wealthy lady was a little puzzled.
Lin Yao laughed and told her one by one, "Generally, crabapple flowers cannot be eaten. You can only soak them in water or pick some good ones, wrap them in a cloth bag, squeeze out the juice, and then pick them red and dye your nails. The crabapples in our courtyard The flower is called Apple Begonia flower, and it tastes like hawthorn. It is sweet when pickled with sugar and made into candied fruit. The roots and fruits of Begonia can be used in traditional Chinese medicine to treat thirst, indigestion, and hemorrhoids. "
Can Begonia fruit cure hemorrhoids?
The rich aunt's eyes suddenly lit up.
Oops, is it true? When her family was rich and young, they ate too much chili peppers and drank and smoked all the time. As a result, as they got older, they developed hemorrhoids on their buttocks. The hemorrhoids hurt so much that they took medicine and injections to treat the symptoms but not the root cause. The doctor at the health center said that the hemorrhoids should be removed through surgery.
But Uncle Dafu is a stubborn old man. It is absolutely impossible for a big man to ask him to go to the hospital to have his butt rubbed!
Uncle Dafu would rather crawl around with his butt covered when he has hemorrhoids than go to the hospital to have his butt rubbed by the doctor!
Aunt Dafu felt distressed and helpless, and asked the old man for folk remedies everywhere.
This time, after hearing Lin Yao's words, she immediately said that the crabapple tree would not be cut down. Look at how bright and beautiful the flowers are, the red and pink ones are festive to look at!
After praising the crabapple tree, Aunt Dafu turned around and praised Lin Yao again.
"Yaoyao is such an honest girl. Girls, it's better to go to school. The more you read, the more you know. Yaoyao has graduated from high school, right? She was in the second year of high school, so she is a real educated person. I, your aunt, have never touched a book in my life, and my eldest son is illiterate. Oh, it was so hard back then. I couldn't go to school even if I wanted to. Now it's good. Even children can go to school. Time flies. In the blink of an eye, I am an old lady over 50 years old. What? You see, you are only in your early 40s. How can this girl..."
The rich aunt was so happy to hear Lin Yao's words that her face was as happy as a chrysanthemum.
Whatever she said, Lin Yao listened obediently. The little girl's smiling face was really pleasing.
When the rich lady returned to the house, she couldn't stop talking.
Lin Yao also put the small broom at the foot of the wall. The sun was shining brightly after the rain. She washed her face slowly and wondered why Dongzi hadn't come back from fetching water in the front yard. Did the bad boy sneak out and go crazy again? The
bad boy had done this before. Uncle Mancang in front called his son to fetch water, but he didn't see him for a long time.
When Uncle Mancang came back, he couldn't find his son in the whole yard. There was only a lonely iron bucket quietly placed next to the water tank.
That night, as expected, the boy had a big meal of bamboo stick fried meat.
Lin Yao held the enamel pot and drank some water. It was boiled water with sugar in it. It was quite refreshing in the hot weather, but it tasted too sweet.
She had just put down the cup of water when Gu Shidong came back with a bucket and threw a big melon at Lin Yao.
"Sister-in-law, come with me quickly. Lin Daguo's grandson is fighting with Li Aifeng on the old street!"
Lin Yao was confused. "Lin Daguo has nothing to do, why did he come to the city to fight?"
Fight with Li Aifeng? Where did they fight?
"Right in front of the grain and oil company in the old street!"
"You went to get some water, how did you know?"
"My classmate Hu Zi told me."
Hu Zi, that's not surprising, Hu Zi's grandmother came from Linjiazhuang.
The weasel has entered the city, and Lin Yao feels that this pair of lurking dragons and phoenixes is going to do something again.
"When did the fight start?"
"Who knows, sister-in-law, are you going or not? If not, I won't wait for you!"
Gu Shidong jumped anxiously in the yard.
Good show doesn't wait for anyone, what if the two turtle eggs run away after the fight?
Go, it's a waste not to see the melon that comes to your door!
Lin Yao immediately stood up, took out the small key from his pocket, and calmly locked the door of the private room at home, and was grabbed by Gu Shidong and ran out in a hurry.
The big and the small ran two streets at lightning speed, and finally arrived at the old street. They saw that the entrance of the grain and oil company was surrounded by a crowd of people eating melons. Some aunts couldn't squeeze in, so they climbed up the low wall next door and ate melon seeds while watching the excitement.
That's not all, a group of old ladies swarmed in from behind, running fast on their little feet.
Lin Yao and Gu Shidong looked at each other, took a deep breath, closed their eyes and rushed into the crowd of people eating melons, fighting for the melons!
Lin Yao took the lead and squeezed through the crowd, and finally came to the front line of eating melons, followed closely by Gu Shidong.
In the open space in front of the grain and oil company, dust was flying everywhere, and a fierce battle between Li Aifeng and Lin Daguo was taking place.
——To be precise, it should be Li Aifeng who unilaterally crushed Lin Daguo and his little... old white flower?
"Lin Daguo, you shameless bastard! I have been married to you for twenty years, and I have worked hard to give birth to your children. I have been both your father and your mother. You didn't even help me when the soy sauce bottle fell over at home, and you actually washed the trousers of this old b*tch! Aren't you afraid of catching a dirty disease? Hongwu hasn't even married yet, and you're fooling around outside, you bastard, you're an old man and you're still looking for a rotten woman for me! What, misunderstanding? Get lost, tell me! Have you been hooking up with this old b*tch a long time ago!"
Li Aifeng was as powerful as ever. She grabbed the old white-haired man's hair with one hand and fiercely pinched the two taels of flesh in the middle of Lin Daguo's thigh with the other hand, refusing to let go.
Lin Daguo rolled over in pain, making excuses, "Aifeng, this is all a misunderstanding. Taohong and I are good siblings. Let go of me, hiss..."
Li Aifeng's subordinate Lao Baihua also struggled, but was ruthlessly suppressed by Comrade Li Aifeng and was slapped in the face, "Fuck you! Lin Daguo, do you think I am... You are a three-year-old idiot. I caught you two kissing, and you still pretend to be innocent! Bah, don’t you see the wrinkles on your face? They are so thick that they can kill me. How can you swallow them? Why don’t you eat the shit outside? "
Li Aifeng cursed without taking a breath, and slapped Lin Daguo and his old white flower one after another, making them see stars.
Lin Yao, who was standing in the front line of eating melons: Slurp, today's melons are really exciting.
In order to make the melon taste more delicious, Lin Yao took out the melon seeds that she had prepared long ago from her small leather bag and gave a handful to Gu Shidong.
"Don't throw the melon seed shells around, I'll throw them in the trash can later."
"Got it."
The two of them "crunched, crunched" melon seeds while watching the show with relish.
The brat pretended not to understand and stuffed a handful of melon seeds into the aunt next door, asking quietly, "Auntie, what's going on?"
The aunt next door immediately opened up, "It's like this..."
The aunt talked a lot, and Lin Yao and the others finally understood.
To put it simply, Lin Daguo made the mistake that all men make. He felt that domestic flowers were not as fragrant as wild flowers, so he met an old white flower outside, and the two of them had trysts from time to time.
Li Aifeng had noticed it long ago, but without any substantial evidence, she could only keep it to herself for now.
Until today, when Lin Daguo and Lao Baihua were caught having a secret meeting on the old street, Li Aifeng came roaring like a tiger descending from the mountain, and that’s how today’s good show came about.
Today’s incident was so big that the president of the county grain and oil cooperative was afraid that something might happen, so he quickly asked someone to go to the public security bureau to report the incident.
As soon as the county public security bureau got the news, it immediately sent out police.
As luck would have it, among the police officers who went out today was Gu Shi’an.
When Deputy Director Gu and several police officers in big hats came over, the crowd of spectators who were watching the show scattered like birds and beasts. A small half of them ran away, and most of the rest were still waiting to watch the show.
Gu Shian was wearing a neat police uniform, with stern features, broad shoulders and long legs. His cold temperament made him stand out in the crowd. The crowd watching the show unconsciously made way for him.
Gu Shian was about to ask the staff on the scene, but when he looked up, he saw a pretty little face in the crowd opposite him, "crunching" and eating melon seeds. His little girl was happily eating melon seeds.
There was also Gu Shidong who was happily eating melon seeds next to him.
"Old Gu, what are you doing here?"
Xu Xiangqian jumped off the jeep. It was a hot day, and sweat was pouring out of his forehead. He took off his big hat and fanned himself. He walked and complained about the broken jeep of the Public Security Bureau. "This broken jeep of our Public Security Bureau should have been eliminated long ago. We paid it from the Americans in 1950. It looked good, but the broken wheels make our butts shake when we drive. Old Gu, one day you can talk to the old chief and ask him to replace it for us..."
Big Head Brother was still whining. He walked over and took a look, and his face was also dazed.
"Old Gu, am I seeing things? Are those our Dongzi and Yaoyao?"
In the end, Lin Yao, who was enjoying eating melons, was taken home by Deputy Director Gu.
As for Gu Shidong, he was taken away by Big Head Brother, and his future brother-in-law said that he would teach this brat a lesson.
Lin Daguo and his group of three were taken away by the police... to mediate.
Lin Yao didn't expect that she was just eating a melon, but she was caught by Gu Shian. He
was caught on the spot.
However, she is not afraid of Gu Shian at this moment!
As long as I am thick-skinned, others will be embarrassed!
After returning home, Gu Shian went back to the room to change clothes, and Lin Yao was eating braised pork with her little white legs crossed.
On the way back, Gu Shian bought the braised pork at a state-owned hotel. He was lucky today and bought it without queuing. The braised pork was trembling with sugar color, bright red, fat but not greasy, soft and glutinous with a meaty aroma, which made people salivate at the first sight.
Lin Yao squinted her eyes, ate two pieces of braised pork in a row, and licked her lips with satisfaction.
When Gu Shian came out, she greeted him, "Hey, this braised pork is so delicious, do you want to have a piece?"
Lin Yao's lips were red and moist, and Gu Shian walked over with an expressionless face and hugged her.
