"Hahaha......"

In the clinic, in the side room, there was a happy laughter from Doctor Jiang.

Liu Xing stood aside, and waited for Doctor Jiang to finish laughing before he said: "Now you are satisfied, it turns out that my cousin also likes Jiang Zhi a little, otherwise she would not agree to go first." ”

In the eighties, once promised everywhere.

That's basically the relationship between them.

It's not like decades later, when some girls can talk to dozens of partners, and finally want to find an honest person to dock.

"I am indeed very satisfied with Zhou Min's child. Doctor Jiang stroked his beard and said, "But I'm a little worried about Jiang Zhi, do you think he can take care of Zhou Min for the rest of his life?"

"I don't want to discuss this with you, because they need to go through their lives on their own, and it has nothing to do with me. Liu Xing saw that the melon seeds were dozing off in his arms, and immediately said: "Don't talk to you, I'll send my sister back to sleep first, she doesn't know what's wrong in the past two days, she always dozes off." ”

"Oh?" Doctor Jiang frowned, hurriedly checked the pulse of the melon seeds, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief after a while: "When you go out, let Qinglian fry a pair of ginger tea for her to drink, drink it for a week, and her illness should be cured!"

"Ah, melon seeds are sick?" Liu Xing was taken aback.

"Almost! In the future, you have to be careful not to expose her to the sun, there will be a certain chance that her will have this kind of drowsiness after excessive burns, although it can be slowly healed regardless of it, but it will have a great impact on her health in the future. Doctor Jiang advised: "Especially the skin, if the person's self-healing and metabolic ability are poor, I am afraid that the skin will not be able to turn white when it grows up." ”

"I once encountered such a case in Dongzhou Province, their family is the richest man in the local area, but the skin of the two children can not turn white no matter what cosmetics are used, what medicine is taken to take it, and drowsy, someone once joked that this is a black species, and then I went to find out that it has something to do with the place where they live, where the sun is abundant all year round like summer, although it is suitable for living, but it is very harmful to the skin of children. ”

"Later, I suggested that they move to the north and live for a while, and the skin of the two children gradually turned white, but in some places the burns were forever scarred. ”

"Of course, children with strong self-healing ability and metabolic ability are not included!"

"Normally, this kind of thing still rarely happens. ”

"Grandpa, what do you mean is that the metabolism of melon seeds is poor?" Liu Xing understood the meaning of Dr. Jiang's words, and became anxious at the moment: "That's not good, you have to buy her some supplements to replenish her body!"

"What supplements do you give him at such a young age. Doctor Jiang shook his head when he heard this: "Just give him a better meal, I see that her pupils are green, but she is actually malnourished and her physical constitution is not good." ”

"That's it!" Liu Xing breathed a sigh of relief.

Compared with Xiaobu, melon seeds are indeed much thinner.

The little one's face has become rounded, and the fleshy pinch feels very good.

But the melon seeds in his arms, thinking of this, Liu Xing looked down, although he was no longer as weak as before, he was still a little emaciated, although this was related to the recent double robbery, but it would definitely not work like this.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing sighed lightly, and after telling Doctor Jiang, he left the clinic with melon seeds.

Back in the backyard, the melon seeds were already asleep.

Liu Xing had no choice but to carefully put it on the bed and let her sleep.

Seeing that it was still early, I got up and walked towards the department store.

When leaving the backyard.

He met Liu Dongju, who came back from buying tofu.

So he advised: "Eldest sister, Doctor Jiang said that the melon seeds are malnourished, you can make more delicious food at night for her to make up for it, don't get sick at that time." ”

"Really, then I'll go to Zhang Jinde's place and buy some meat right away. Liu Dongju was also a little worried when she heard this, but she was quickly stunned: "It's just that there is no pork sold at this point?"

If it had been in the past, it would have been possible to go at any time.

But these days are the Midyear Festival, and the swine fever is raging, so I'm afraid that I won't see pork at all.

"No pork?"

"Didn't I ask Village Chief Zhao to drive all the fifteen and a half pigs in the greenhouse to the pigsty in the backyard? You went to Butcher Zhang to help kill one, and the pig's trotters, pork ribs, tube bones, and other melon seeds that she liked to eat, all of them were left for her to eat, but she couldn't let her go malnourished. Liu Xing thought about it and admonished.

"Okay! Okay!" After Liu Dongju put the tofu in the kitchen, he hurriedly walked with Liu Xing and went to the department store.

At this point, although Butcher Zhang has no pork to sell, he must be bragging with other vendors, looking for an accurate one.

......

En route.

Their brother and sister met Li Dawei.

Because of the money he made from selling popsicles, Li Dawei was moving with Li Weiwei at this time.

Of course, the houses in the bazaar could not afford to buy, so they rented houses around the department stores.

Liu Xing saw this scene, and laughed and ridiculed: "Lao Li, you are not authentic like this! When you make money, you want to leave me, I knew that you were such a person, so I won't tell you the trick of saltpeter ice making." ”

"Don't say that, I've just made a little money recently, and I'm a fart compared to others!" Li Dawei put down the luggage in his hand with a happy smile on his face: "Besides, it's not convenient to live with your sister, so it's better to move out." ”

"I didn't say it's inconvenient!" Liu Dongju couldn't help but correct.

"It's my own inconvenience. Li Dawei smiled embarrassedly.

"My dad has already negotiated with Village Chief Zhao to buy a piece of land to build an ice storage in the market, but at present, the money is not enough, and the other procedures are not a problem. Li Weiwei saw that her father was still talking to Liu Xing now, and she couldn't help revealing a little secret at the moment.

Of course, this little secret is not a secret to Liu Xing at all, he sighed and looked at Li Dawei: "You can't build an ice warehouse, you have to have my help, so let's do it! You take Weiwei to my sister's house for dinner at night, and take 5,000 yuan to start up the capital in the past, it will be regarded as an investment in the ice warehouse, and you will return it to me when you make money, or you can pay it back to me in the form of dividends." ”

This is not to look down on Li Dawei, because there are many matters to pay attention to in the construction of the ice warehouse, if it is messed up, there will definitely be a big hidden danger, once something happens, then Li Dawei will be over for the rest of his life.

So you have to have the guidance of him, a born-again.

Li Dawei was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then nodded warmly in his heart: "Okay, let's talk about cooperation in detail at night." ”

In fact, if Liu Xing doesn't say it, he will also look for Liu Xing.

Because he is not familiar with building an ice warehouse, he must have Liu Xing's help.

Otherwise, if a blind man crosses the river, he will have to stumble and mix up something to succeed.

"By the way, there is one thing to tell you, Hengshui Distillery may be about to announce its closure. After a pause, Li Dawei added another sentence teasingly.

"What?"

"It can't be, right?"

Liu Xing's eyes widened and he shouted out in a lost voice.

Liu Dongju on the side was also a little surprised, after all, Hengshui Distillery is a state-owned enterprise, how can it be said that it will go bankrupt.

"Is it necessary for me to lie to you about this?" Li Dawei sighed lightly, and there was a sigh in his words: "This matter was told to me by Lao Zeng an hour ago, and he asked me to find him a good errand too! ”

In fact, since he came to the bazaar, he found a lot of money-making industries, as long as he is willing to work hard, it must be better than working in Hengshui Distillery, but Zeng Dezhi still retains the mentality of working in a state-owned enterprise, if such a person comes to the bazaar to do business, it will definitely not work, so he must refuse.

Because he didn't want to hurt himself, he ended up implicating Liu Xing.

Liu Xing naturally knew the meaning of this, and after smiling, he said: "Zeng Dezhi's character has been enslaved, and it can be seen from the fact that he was relieved of his position as deputy factory director and can still be with Zhong Kun, but people like him can't starve to death, because cats have cat paths, rats have rat paths, and the money for meals can definitely be mixed." ”

"That's right. Li Dawei nodded in agreement.

"But I can remind you that Zeng Dezhi told you the news that Hengshui Distillery is going to close down this time, not to cry poor, but to see what you mean, if you have nostalgia for Hengshui Distillery, you will definitely think of a way to call you back to manage Hengshui Distillery again, because the current Hengshui Distillery, I am afraid that only if you go can you come back to life. Liu Xing couldn't help but remind.

He has seen a lot of these small routines of officialdom on TV, so he doesn't want Li Dawei to go back to the old path and repeat the mistakes of the past.

This is not speculation, because so far, the Hengshui Distillery has not closed down.

It's just that there is such a possibility.

When Li Dawei heard this, he was stunned.

Because he really didn't think about it so much, he thought that Zeng Dezhi just came to the bazaar to talk to him and complain, but now it seems that this is with a task and a purpose!

"Dad, although you are tired of buying popsicles at the market now, you are very happy, and you can tell me stories every night!" Li Weiwei took Li Dawei's hand, with a pleading look on her face: "I beg you not to go back to Hengshui Distillery, I am like a prison there, I am afraid that I will not see you for ten days and half a month." ”

As she spoke, Li Weiwei cried.

"Silly boy, don't cry, Dad won't go back. Seeing this, Li Dawei comforted.

"Yes, although your father is making a little less money now, but the dignity of being a human being is back, which is very important, you can rest assured, he will not return to Hengshui Distillery even if he begs for rice in the future." Liu Xing whispered and persuaded him.

This may seem like an exaggeration, but it is true.

Because Li Dawei is a person who values dignity very much, otherwise when Zhong Kun said that he was the deputy director, he would not have resigned resolutely and left the Hengshui Distillery, where he had worked for decades.

"My dad went to beg for rice, and I will go, anyway, I won't let my dad starve. Li Weiwei suddenly said seriously.

For Li Dawei, these words were very touching, and after rubbing his moist eyes, he said hello to Liu Xing and took Li Weiwei away.

Although Li Dawei's back is a little hunched, Liu Xing knows that Li Dawei at this moment is only afraid that he is light, because he has already unloaded the officialdom's deception.

Such talents are the most authentic and trustworthy.

"Liu Xing, don't look at it, they are all far away. Liu Dongju on the side reminded softly.

"Then let's go find Butcher Zhang!" Liu Xing came back to his senses and took the lead towards the gate of the department store.

......

The entrance of the department store.

Aunt Zhong and a few women from the old housing village are cleaning.

Seeing Liu Xing and Liu Dongju appear, he hurriedly stopped what he was doing and greeted him: "Have you seen my son?"

"No?" Liu Xing was a little puzzled when he heard this.

Didn't Zhao Gou hang out with Zhao Liang and Gouzi in the market all day long?

What kind of thing is this finding someone to find him!

"Alas, you don't know, Township Chief Xie came to him before, asking him to quit his current job at the market and help open a brick factory, I directly refused at that time, but Zhao Gou was unwilling, this time people don't know where they were taken by Township Chief Xie. Seeing this, Aunt Zhong told the inside story.

"That's it!" Liu Xing frowned.

This Xie Zhong, it seems that the previous conversation still failed to make him change his mind!

If Zhao Gou is asked to be the director of the brick factory, I am afraid that it will only hurt Zhao Gou, not help Zhao Gou.

Aunt Zhong also knew that her son had a few catties and taels, so she disagreed, and seeing that there was no figure of Zhao Gou in the surrounding streets, she immediately said hello to Liu Xing and walked towards Buddha Mountain.

Because Xie Zhong chose to build a brick factory in Laowu Village, it is on Buddha Mountain.

Then before she walked two meters away, on the street in the distance, Zhao Gou appeared.

There were also more than a dozen villagers from the old housing village such as Gouzi, Zhao Liang, Xie Zhong, and Zhang Ruoxi, looking at their excited appearances, it was obvious that they had reached some kind of agreement with Xie Zhong.

Seeing this scene, Liu Xing glanced at Liu Dongju on the side, turned around and walked into the department store.

It's not that he has an opinion on Zhao Gou's choice, but he really doesn't want to wade into this troubled water.

If the brick factory was so easy to build, I am afraid that in the 80s, many people would be the owners of the brick factory.

He now regrets helping Xie Zhong solve some practical problems in the brick factory.

Because he realized that although Xie Zhong is very righteous, he is very stubborn and blind in dealing with some unknown things.

Since Xie Zhong has chosen his own opinion, let Xie Zhong not die in the heart of the Yellow River and go back to the south wall!

Only when he felt the pain would Xie Zhong remember what Liu Xing told him that day when he sent the red bricks over.

......

in department stores.

There are still many villagers who come to buy goods.

Liu Xing saw that Butcher Zhang was chatting with Chen Hong at the door, and hurriedly walked over: "Is today's pork sold out?"

"How can I have pork to sell!" Butcher Zhang said with a wry smile.

If there is, it won't make a fortune.

Chen Hong smiled: "He wants me to go to the mountains to get a few wild boars to sell them, but the wild boars are not easy to fight at this time, so I won't be fooled by this." ”

"There is no pork to sell, wait until my sister's house kills a pig and opens the meat, but first say okay, except for selling you fifty catties of meat, you can't take anything else, I want to keep it for myself." Liu Xing didn't talk nonsense, and directly said what he meant.

"Okay!" Butcher Zhang nodded.

"Wait, I want ten pounds of pork belly. Chen Hong raised his hand when he heard this.

"Okay, I'll sell you a hundred dollars a catty. Liu Xing said and walked towards the liquor direct wholesale store.

As for the next pig killing, he knew that the eldest sister would definitely help with it.

But Chen Hong was in a hurry and caught up with Liu Xing: "Are you losing money, how can pork belly be so expensive, don't be kidding." ”

"You made the joke first, my sister. Liu Xing looked back at Chen Hong with his hands on his hips: "A big fat pig of more than 100 catties, a total of more than 100 catties of pork belly, you want 10 catties, then what will I eat?"

"Don't think about bullying me now when you make money, there is no such thing. Liu Xing waved his hand: "You, where are you coming from, don't bother me." ”

"You...... What's wrong with you today, I didn't offend you, did I?" Chen Hong saw that something was wrong with Liu Xing's emotions, and couldn't help but ask with concern at the moment.

Seeing that Liu Xing didn't speak, he said with some embarrassment: "I don't want pork belly like this, right? ”

She knew Liu Xing, but she would never talk to her like this.

"It has nothing to do with pork belly, don't guess. Liu Xing was stunned and said apologetically: "I just don't know how recently, I'm always upset." ”

"That must be who annoyed you. Chen Hong glanced around: "Is it because Zhao Gou, Gouzi, and Zhao Liang are leaving?"

"Huh?" Liu Xing was stunned when he heard this.

He just knew about this, how could Chen Hong know?

"Yesterday the dog told me, he said that the three of them are going to open a brick factory in the old house village, and then Zhao Gou will be the factory director, the dog will be the accountant, and Zhao Liang is the director, what he said is clear, I didn't believe it at the time, now look at your expression to know, nine times out of ten it is true. Chen Hong straightened the hair in front of his forehead, and his voice was annoyed: "What Zhao Gou, Zhao Liang, and Gouzi did not do authentically, and it is a shame that you take care of them like this, and they don't even discuss it with you." ”

"No! I already knew, it was Township Chief Xie who told me, but I didn't agree. Liu Xing spread his hands funny: "This time, Zhao Gou, Zhao Liang, and Gouzi don't tell me, I'm afraid they are hating me!"

"Because I have stood in the way of their wealth. After a pause, Liu Xing added.

"The question is, are the three of them the material to be managed? And they have to manage a brick factory with hundreds of people, and they usually do the same, if they take care of others, I don't have to think about the consequences. Chen Hong couldn't help but complain.

This is not looking at the three of them, such as Gouzi, Zhao Gou, and Zhao Liang, but the facts.

"Shhhhhhhhhhhhh

Chen Hong didn't know what was going on, and hurriedly looked around.

When I saw Zhao Gou walking over with the dog and Zhao Liang.

Hurriedly closed his mouth in embarrassment.

But she believed the three of them hadn't heard what she had said.

It's just that saying bad things about people behind people's backs is seen by the person concerned, and it feels a little weird to be honest.

Liu Xing didn't feel like this, because no matter what, he was worthy of the three of Gouzi, Zhao Liang, and Zhao Gou.

When they got closer, he didn't embarrass them, but asked, "Listen to Aunt Zhong, are the three of you ready to make a lot of money?"

"Well, Township Chief Xie invited me to manage the brick factory that is about to be built in the old housing village, and I may be the factory director. ”

Zhao Gohan smiled and scratched his head and replied.

"Boss, I'm the accountant in charge of money!" the dog said happily.

Zhao Liang didn't speak.

Because he always felt a little sorry for Liu Xing.

"Then the three of you came to me today to resign from the management of the bazaar?" Liu Xing asked casually.

"Hmm," Zhao Gou nodded.

"Boss, if you don't want me to go, I won't go. Zhao Liang hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said seriously.

The dog glared at Zhao Liang, and when he saw that Zhao Liang ignored him, he had to twist his head to the side angrily.

"I don't agree with anything, and besides, I'm not qualified to care about you. Liu Xing sighed lightly and said honestly: "Go find Sister Chen and receive your salary for the past few days! ”

"Good! good!" Zhao couldn't ask for.

Dogs too.

They thought they had left the bazaar all of a sudden.

Liu Xing has no money for them!

"Come with me!" Chen Hong, who had not spoken, said a cold word, and then walked towards the office of the market party.

Zhao Gou followed behind with the dog.

But Zhao Liang chose not to go in the end, but said to Liu Xing: "Boss, I am very self-aware and don't want to go to the brick factory to fool around, can I continue to stay and collect temporary booth fees?"

"I didn't drive you away, why can't you stay? Liu Xing couldn't help but laugh.

This Zhao Liang seems to be smarter than Gouzi and Zhao Gou.

Because he who can be self-aware.

That's not stupid.

"Thank you, Boss, then I'm out on patrol. When Zhao Liang heard this, his previous unhappiness suddenly disappeared, and he ran out of the department store with a smile.

Liu Xingmu sent Zhao Liang away, and did not stay where he was, turned around and continued to walk towards the liquor direct wholesale store.

......

In a flash, it was evening.

Shoe store entrance.

As soon as the nearby traders heard that Liu Dongju's family had killed pigs, they all rushed over one by one.

Even the Wu Bureau in the city, as well as Niu Lianfang and Ding Lan, didn't know how they received the news, and appeared on the streets of the market in a jeep.

This scene made Liu Xing somewhat cry and laugh.

There was no way, so I had to let Butcher Zhang kill a big fat pig, and finally saw these people who came to smell the meat and send them away, of course, pig's trotters, pork ribs and other favorite melon seeds, so naturally no one can give them.

But the funny thing is that these people don't eat pig's trotters and they don't eat ribs.

It seems that some people are still very disgusted.

This made Liu Xing a little crying and laughing.

"Liu Xing!" Wu Ju, who put a few catties of pork belly on the jeep, did not drive away at the first time, but came to Liu Xing's side: "The day after tomorrow, you are going to study in the eighth middle school, are you going to live in a dormitory or a rented house?"

"This ......"

"Aren't melon seeds going to study in the city together, so I think it's better to rent a house. Liu Xing thought about it and said the answer.

"Well, that's true. Wu Ju looked at the time: "Then I'll drive over to pick you up early tomorrow morning, go around the vicinity of No. 8 Middle School, see if there is a good house to rent, and by the way, help you go through the enrollment procedures in advance, so you don't have to wait until the day of school." ”

"Okay!" Liu Xing nodded.

Wu Ju can take care of him like this, naturally he can't ask for it.

"There is one more thing I have forgotten to tell you, I helped you and the melon seeds to move to HY City, that is to say, in the future, you will be an urban hukou, not a rural hukou. Wu Ju took out a cigarette and lit it, and then told Liu Xing an inside story.

"Huh?"

"It's going to cost a lot of money, right?"

Liu Xing was frightened, because he was not prepared for this at all, and this surprise came too suddenly.

Urban hukou, this in the eighties and nineties before the rebirth, that was something that I dreamed of.

But after 2,000 years, he no longer has the luxury of expecting it, because in many places there is no difference between the countryside and the city.

Even decades later, some parts of the countryside are even better than the cities.

"I'm in charge of this, which is just to help submit an approval process, which doesn't cost a lot of money. Wu Ju looked at Liu Xing's appearance and smiled: "But your parents and I didn't help move the city hukou, and your younger brother Liu Ye." ”

"You mean, my second sister has also moved?" Liu Xing couldn't help but ask.

"Well, she's so good at studying, it's a matter of time before she gets her hukou out, and you know what? Wu Ju took a puff of cigarette: "Since I can move your household registration for you, I naturally want to move Liu Ziran's piece out." ”

"Yes. Liu Xing smiled gratefully.

Don't look at what Wu Ju said lightly.

But he knows that there is a lot of affection in it!

In the early eighties, he changed the rural hukou to the urban hukou, and he did not know how much it would cost.

But in the 90s, he knew that at least more than 5,000, and some people even spent tens of thousands of dollars for this one account.

In other words, Wu Ju has been a great helper.

"By the way, have you heard that the Hengshui Distillery is about to close down?" Wu Ju saw that there were all his own people around, and suddenly asked in a low voice.

"I heard that, Li Dawei told me. Liu Xing replied.

"Then what do you think?" Wu Ju looked at Liu Xing and threw away the cigarette butt in his hand.

"Thoughts?" Liu Xing was stunned for a moment, and smiled bitterly after understanding: "What can I think, this Hengshui Distillery has nothing to do with me." ”

"Who said no, now the whole HY city is spreading that the collapse of Hengshui Distillery was caused by you Liu Xing! It was you Liu Xing who didn't save him when he saw death, so that Hengshui Distillery became the chaotic state it is now. Wu Ju reminded him teasingly.

"Isn't it?" Liu Xing was dumbfounded.

Fortunately, he didn't do it, and if he did, it would be really hard to say.

"I'm kidding you, don't take it too seriously. Wu Ju looked at Liu Xing's appearance and smiled: "But some leaders in the city said so, saying that you will not save you when you die." ”

"The question is, do they know what the leaders of Hengshui Distillery do to me?" Liu Xing spread his hands funny: "Don't go through the suffering of others, don't persuade others to be kind, these leaders are too idle." ”

"I think so, so don't make trouble lately, because if you don't get it right, someone will attack you. Wu Ju couldn't help but remind: "There is also a need to keep a low profile when going to study, students who can enter the eighth middle school either have backers behind them, or they are not simple." ”

"Hmm," Liu Xing nodded in agreement.

Needless to say, he paid attention to this.

I know more about being a low-key person and doing things in a high-profile manner.

"That's right. Liu Xing saw Zhao Jing playing on the side, alone and lonely, and couldn't help but ask: "Do you know that Zhao Jing's parents killed Old Man He because of competing for water to irrigate seedlings?"

"This ......" Wu Ju thought for a while: "I know, but in the end, the investigation made it clear, the person was not killed by Zhao Jing's parents, but was beaten to death by the group, and the old guy He also relied on the old man and betrayed the old, which caused the anger of the public, so he was beaten to death." ”

In the end, after unanimous discussion by the leaders, it was decided to deal with it coldly in a way that the law does not hold the public accountable, but in order to reduce the unnecessary impact, this matter was not announced and let all the people involved know. Wu Jushu looked at Liu Xing with doubts: "Why did you kid suddenly ask about this today?"

"I don't want to ask!" Liu Xing pointed at Zhao Jing: "Look how pitiful this child is, his parents left their hometown to work in other places because of this incident, and they haven't come back since Old Man He had an accident, since I can inquire about some news for his parents, I naturally won't care." ”

"That's it!" Wu Ju stretched out his hand and patted Liu Xing's shoulder: "I really can't imagine that you can still care so much about a child's affairs, so let's do it! One day, you go and talk to Zhao Cun, just say what I said, Old Man He's matter has passed, let Zhao Jing's parents come back!"

"If Old Man He's family members make trouble for their husband and wife, just report my name. After a pause, Wu Ju added.

"Good! good!" Liu Xinglian nodded.

Seeing that Zhao Dongkui moved out of the dining table.

Melon Seeds, Xiao Budian, and Xiao Doudou were also helping to move the bench, and they hurriedly stretched out their hands and made an inviting gesture: "Uncle, it's better to meet by chance, let's have a drink tonight." ”

"I'm still going to drive!" said Wu Ju.

"Isn't there still Sister Ding Lan and Sister Lian Fang? Liu Xing took the lead and walked towards the dining table.

Wu Ju smiled and followed.

Seeing that Zhao Jing, the little guy, was sensible and about to leave, he hurriedly stretched out his hand and hugged him: "Where are you escaping, if you don't eat two bowls of rice today, Uncle will arrest you." ”

"I ...... My grandfather said that when you eat at home, you can't stay at the door, it will be very annoying. Zhao Jing saw that Wu Ju was really here, and immediately cried and explained with a sad face.

As soon as these words came out, Wu Ju was very distressed.

I didn't know how to coax Zhao Jing for a while.

Liu Xing was also a little uncomfortable, he stretched out his hand to take Zhao Jing: "You are stupid! The meaning of your grandfather's words is that you can't watch at the door when you eat at home, you must eat at the table, so that you don't get annoying, you know?"

"Really, Brother Liu Xing?" Zhao Jing tilted her little head to look at Liu Xing.

"Why am I lying to you, you see Xiao Doudou, this naughty ghost, shouted when he ate that time, and he appeared with a small rice bowl, did others say that he was disgusted?" Liu Xinglian explained.

"Nope. ”

"Not really. Zhao Jing burst into tears and laughed.

Since you call me brother, then don't treat me as an outsider, and Xiao Budian, melon seeds, Xiaodoudou, and Lanlan are outsiders, and they have something to eat, because when you grow up, you will definitely be able to make a lot of money, and when your brothers and sisters are old, you can buy something for them to eat. Liu Xing saw that Zhao Jing believed his words, and said with a light smile at the moment.

"I will, I will. ”

"And I have to buy a lot of delicious food for my grandfather. Zhao Jing clenched her little fists seriously.

"Okay, but I can't finish my brother's braised pork today, you have to help eat more, okay?" Liu Xing hugged Zhao Jing and sat beside the melon seeds.

"Hee-hee...... That's what I'm best at. Zhao Jing finally smiled happily, and a pair of cute dimples appeared on her little face.

Wu Ju on the side looked at it and was very pleased.

Seeing Ding Lan bring out a large plate of fried meat with chili peppers and a large pot of boiled fish from the kitchen, he couldn't help but say, "Dong Ju! Don't cook so many dishes, you can't finish eating later." ”

"Uncle, have you forgotten that there is still a nest? My belly is very big, this dish is trivial!"

"Hahaha...... That's right!" Wu Ju laughed when he heard this: "I forgot that there is another snack here." ”

"I'm also a snacker, Ma Ma said. Xiao Budian thought that snacks were a compliment, and couldn't help but say at the moment.

"Yes, you, melon seeds, and Zhao Jing are all snacks. Liu Xing teasingly agreed, and seeing that there were still a lot of dishes in the kitchen that had not been served, he hurriedly got up and walked in.

After a while, he walked out of the kitchen with braised pork and a large bowl of stewed pork ribs with taro.

In the shoe store, Zhou Shan and Zhou Min smelled the fragrance and hurriedly ran out.

At the gate of the clinic, Doctor Jiang also came out with Jiang Zhi, Qinglian, Luzhu, Lanlan, and Yi Jianping.

Wu Ju looked stunned, and then he knew that Liu Xing's dinner was not for him alone.

Seeing that Doctor Jiang smiled at him, he hurriedly got up to greet him.

Zhao Dongkui saw that there were a lot of people, so he moved out a wooden table again.

There were also a few benches, and seeing that there was no liquor on the table, I hurriedly went to the backyard and brought a box of Kweichow Moutai.

On the street of the bazaar, Zhao Peony also came with Zhao Hu, and there were Zhao Shijie and Zhao Peony behind him.

Obviously, they came to thank Liu Xing.

As for the reason for the thanks, it must be because of the big fat pig that I sent before.

At this time, Village Chief Zhao also appeared with Nai Xinru, Wang Kunlun, Chen Hong, Kang Fuchuan, Liu Qiuyuan, Li Dawei, and Li Weiwei, some of them were carrying hens in their hands, and some were carrying grass carp, and they were obviously invited by Liu Xingxiang to come to dinner.

But they don't want to eat white food, so they bring some local products from their homes to a greater or lesser extent.

Ding Lan and Niu Lianfang looked at each other, and suddenly ran into the kitchen to help out in embarrassment.

Because the two of them came to the market this time, but they came empty-handed, even if they bought pork, they didn't give a penny, it was given to them by Liu Xing.

It's nothing, but I feel a little embarrassed.

Because everyone comes to eat, and they all carry things in their hands!

But Liu Xing's next actions reassured them.

It turned out that Liu Xing pushed these people carrying things out of the table: "What are you doing here, you can eat when you come to eat, why are you carrying a big hen and grass carp? Are you afraid that my eldest sister's family will be eaten poor?"

"That's it, if you do this again, don't come to me next time. In the kitchen, Liu Dongju, who came out with an apron and mushroom soup, also said dissatisfied.

If the family background is not good, then it will definitely not invite everyone to eat like this.

Now that he has money, what is it to eat a meal, if everyone is not familiar with each other, then Liu Xing would not have opened his mouth at all.

As soon as these words came out, the people present who took the things were all very embarrassed.

Seeing this, Village Chief Zhao hurriedly became a peacemaker: "Oh! This is all my old guy's fault, and I mentioned to everyone that I want to bring something over, next time! ”

"Okay, don't stand, eat. Liu Xing moved a bench and asked Village Chief Zhao to sit down.

Naturally, the others were not polite, and sat down one after another, picked up chopsticks and ate their meals.

Zhao Hu didn't do this, but opened the package of Moutai, and then came to Liu Xing with the wine bottle: "Xing Yanzi, you have to have a drink today, uncle respects you." ”

"Okay!" Liu Xing picked up the wine glass.

"To be honest, I don't even know what to do with your Sister Peony's engagement to Zhou Shan! Because you can't buy a big fat pig even if you have money now!" Zhao Hu poured Liu Xing a glass of wine, and when he saw that Wu Ju was also sitting aside, he hurriedly filled it with him: "But it's good that you gave me a head directly, I am really grateful for this kindness." ”

"Boss, I respect you too. Zhao Shijie couldn't speak, so after hesitating for a long time, he had to pick up the wine glass.

Wang Jasmine on the side couldn't stand it anymore, he stretched out his hand and patted Zhao Shijie: "Liu Xing is so young, don't pour cup after cup, what should I do if I drink it badly." ”

"Yes, just drink as you please. Doctor Jiang opened his mouth to help and said a word.

Although the wine is good, if you want to be greedy, then the nature of the matter is different.

When Zhao Shijie heard this, he scratched his head with a smile: "It's my fault, I actually want to thank the boss for giving me a big fat pig, a full hundred and eighty pounds, which makes me really don't know what to say." ”

According to the current pig price, that's more than 1,000 yuan!

When Liu Xing heard this, he picked up his wine glass and touched it with Zhao Shijie's wine glass: "You and Sister Jasmine are my matchmakers, this big fat pig is actually nothing, I just hope you will be good to her in the future." ”

"I will. Zhao Shijie's heart was warm, and he drank up the liquor in the cup as soon as he raised his head.

Liu Xing didn't do this, but took a shallow sip: "I can't drink enough, so I can only be casual, don't look at me, eat vegetables, otherwise it will be cold." ”

"Yes, eat vegetables!" Wu Ju took a piece of braised pork and put it in Zhao Jing's bowl: "If you don't eat it tonight, you are not allowed to go home." ”

"Well, thank you, uncle. Zhao Jing smiled happily.

"Eat, eat, eat!" Wu Ju sandwiched some vegetables for melon seeds, Xiaobudian, Lanlan, and Xiaodoudou, and then ate them himself.

When I found that the braised pork made by Liu Dongju today was fat but not greasy, and the taste was very good, my eyes couldn't help but light up.

Seeing this, Liu Xing on the side hurriedly sandwiched a large piece of braised pork for Wu Ju, and Ding Lan and Niu Lianfang also sandwiched a piece in their bowls.

The reason why he did this was because he knew that Wu Ju, Ding Lan, and Niu Lianfang had no money to buy meat to eat in the past month, otherwise their appetite for braised pork would not be so great.

After three rounds of wine, three bowls of rice.

Soon.

Everyone was well fed.

Some of them are worried about the things in this house, and they have already taken the first step.

Liu Xing saw that Wu Ju's face was a little red, and immediately said, "Uncle, I'll make you a cup of tea, and I'll drive back when I'm done." ”

"Okay. Wu Julian nodded.

Liu Xing turned around and walked into the kitchen.

Wu Ju took out a cigarette and handed it to Village Chief Zhao on the side: "I heard Liu Xing say that Zhao Jing's parents have been working in other places, right?"

As soon as these words came out, Village Chief Zhao was frightened.

Because he heard the meaning of interrogation from Wu Ju's words.

Just when he didn't know what to do, Liu Xing, who was carrying a teapot, walked out: "Village chief, don't be afraid, I asked my uncle about Zhao Jing's parents before, and he said that the matter of the year has been investigated, Zhao Jing's parents are fine, you can call them back when you have time." ”

"Really...... Really?" Village Chief Zhao looked at Wu Ju with a trembling voice.

"Well, there's no way I'm kidding about that. Wu Ju nodded slowly.

"Thank you so much, thank you!" Village Chief Zhao cried excitedly, stood up and knelt down towards Wu Ju.

This frightened Wu Ju, and he hurriedly stretched out his hand to support Village Chief Zhao: "This is just a gesture, why do you want to do this! ”

"Actually, you should thank Liu Xingcai for this. Niu Lianfang reminded.

Otherwise, Wu Ju would not have personally spoken up because of this trivial matter.

"I know, I know, Zhao Jing's parents are still working overtime in a small factory! But they have a phone in the duty room, and they can get through, so I'm going to tell them and let them come back." Village Chief Zhao stretched out his hand to wipe the tears on his face, and walked towards the shoe store with Zhao Jing.

It's no secret that there are telephones installed inside shoe stores.

But there were very few calls, because in the eighties, ordinary people had very little contact.

The most common communication tool is to write letters.

And the post office, because it is responsible for delivering envelopes, so the business is quite hot.

Liu Xing looked at Zhao Jing who was jumping up and down behind Village Chief Zhao, and he didn't know why, but he was very relieved at this time.

Because Zhao Jing can return to his parents and feel the care of his parents, this is a very happy thing, happier than he sold more than 1,000 pigs before.

In the shoe store, the phone quickly got through.

A lazy voice came from the other end: "Who?"

"Please help call Zhao Guosheng to answer the phone. Village Chief Zhao said: "Let's just say that his father has a very important person to look for him." ”

Zhao Guosheng is Zhao Jing's father.

"Okay, you wait. The lazy voice was gone.

After about ten minutes, footsteps came, and then a tired voice sounded: "Hey, I'm Zhao Guosheng." ”

"Daddy, Daddy...... I'm Xiao Jingjing, do you remember me?" Zhao Jing heard this familiar voice, and hurriedly stood on tiptoe and snatched the phone in Village Chief Zhao's hand, and then shouted anxiously.

"Silly girl, how could I not remember you, Dad misses you so much!" Zhao Guosheng on the other end of the phone choked up, but soon disappeared.

Obviously, he was afraid of making Xiao Jingjing worried.

Village Chief Zhao stood aside and watched, not knowing when, he was already in tears.

Because of her young age, Zhao Jing didn't feel that the atmosphere was wrong, but said happily: "Dad, I ate four pieces of braised pork tonight! It's delicious, Uncle Wu gave it to me, and others are so weird! I can't go back to sleep if I don't finish eating!"

"Really?" Zhao Guosheng thought that Zhao Jing was comforting her, and couldn't help but smile at the moment.

He's not stupid, he knows very well what's going on at home.

Because of him, I'm afraid that it will be difficult to eat a meal of meat during the New Year.

Today is not the New Year, and it is not a festival, where is the meat to eat.

"Of course it's true, and I also ate boiled fish, taro pork ribs, and big pig's trotters and many other delicious dishes today!" As soon as Zhao Jing said what to eat, it began to be endless, and saliva came out.

This made Zhao Guosheng on the other end very uncomfortable, because he hadn't eaten meat for more than half a year.

Hearing the name of the dish reported by Zhao Jing, he couldn't help but swallow a mouthful of saliva.

Seeing that Zhao Jing was talking nonsense, Village Chief Zhao hurriedly took the phone in Zhao Jing's hand: "Child, come back quickly! Now that the living conditions in the family are good, I am waiting for you to come back and build a red brick house! And what Zhao Jing said just now is true, now as long as we want, we can afford to eat meat at every meal." ”

"But...... Dad, have you forgotten what I committed? Aren't you looking for death this time?" Zhao Guosheng replied softly, with deep helplessness in his voice.

He actually wanted to go back for a long time.

Look at the elderly father, and the sensible and well-behaved Xiao Jingjing.

But the cruel reality is in front of him, if he goes back, he is afraid that he will not be able to see Zhao Jing for the rest of his life, so he can endure it, and now it is better to stay obediently in a small factory to work.

"Wu Ju has already told me just now, what you committed back then is fine, and I can vouch for you with this old life. Village Chief Zhao said in a trembling voice.

"Really?" Zhao Guosheng's breath became short.

"Really, silly boy, can I lie to you about this?" said Village Chief Zhao in a choked voice.

"Okay, I'll buy a train ticket tomorrow and bring Tang Wan back. Zhao Guosheng said excitedly.

Tang Wan is Zhao Jing's mother and his wife.

"Well, I'm waiting for you at home killing pigs. Village Chief Zhao knew that the phone couldn't be said for too long, so he hurriedly added: "I won't say anything else, this is someone else's phone, wait for you to come back tomorrow, and Dad will install one for you." ”

This is not bragging, because he has made a lot of money now following Liu Xing!

"Good, good, goodbye. Zhao Guosheng hung up the phone.

Village Chief Zhao was crying.

He waited for this day, but he waited for a long time.

Now that it's finally come true, it's really an eye-opener!

"Grandpa, you're asking me to talk to my father, I haven't told him yet, I have a lot of toffee to eat! Zhao Jing snatched the phone and leaned her little head over.

Seeing that there was no sound, it was a mouth that was deflated in disappointment.

Seeing this, Village Chief Zhao coaxed: "Silly boy, what are you crying about, your father will come back tomorrow, and you can talk to him as much as you want." ”

"Really?" Zhao Jing turned from crying to laughing.

"Of course it's true. Village Chief Zhao led Zhao Jing out of the shoe store.

Outside, the moonlight shone on their grandfather and grandson, pulling their shadows to the old elders.
