"Sharpen scissors and sharpen knives!!"

"Sell rock sugar gourds!"

"Selling steamed buns! Big, fragrant and soft buns!"

"This lord, please inside, please inside. ”

Zhang Ruolin twisted the newly bought bamboo basket, looking around with interest, the county was not very lively when she came during the day, but she didn't expect it to be so lively this morning, there were people everywhere.

"Girl, do you want to sell a chicken? My chickens are all raised by myself, you see, this old hen has been raised for more than three years, do you want one?"

Zhang Ruolin looked at a lady with a black cloth wrapped around her head and yellow teeth in her mouth, holding an old hen in her hand and handing it to her, took a half step back slightly, and asked, "How much?"

"The eldest lady doesn't want to be blind, how about five yuan a piece?" The aunt who sold chickens looked at Zhang Ruolin, rolled her eyes, and said with a smile.

Zhang Ruolin said "hehe" twice, "Auntie, do you think I'm stupid?"

The chicken lady smiled awkwardly, "Three pieces of five." ”

"Three, I want the one. Zhang Ruolin pointed to a relatively large old hen on the ground and said.

"I can't sell it, I can't sell it, I raise a chicken, I raise it for so long, I don't know how much money I eat food, three yuan and five, not a penny less. This chicken can't do without four pieces. ”

"Forget it. ”

Seeing Zhang Ruolin turn around and leave, the lady who sold the chicken hurriedly shouted: "Girl, girl, don't go, don't go, you see that you can take this chicken for three yuan, okay? ”

"I want that one, one in the village is two dollars and five yuan to pick whatever you want, if you sell it, I will ask for three yuan. ”

The chicken seller looked at Zhang Ruolin with a tangled face, "Okay, okay, three yuan, you take it." ”

Zhang Ruolin smiled and took it out of her pocket, counted a few gross tickets and handed them over, took the old hen and put it in the bamboo basket, and turned around with a smile.

It is impossible to kill the chicken for you, this service is not provided in these years, the chickens sold are taken home and killed by themselves, and this chicken still has half a bowl of blood, enough for one person to eat a meal, who is willing to spoil such a good thing.

Still looking all the way around, looking at the bustling small county town, Zhang Ruolin sighed in her heart, the free economy, and then it will become the era of collective economy, I am afraid that the county will not be so lively at that time, especially the restriction of farmers from entering the city, I am afraid that the city will become more deserted at that time.

After buying a bundle of nylon rope and a bamboo broom, Zhang Ruolin walked towards home.

Pushing open the small door of the courtyard, Zhang Ruolin looked at the shadow wall in front of her, the rich peony map, this shadow wall and so on were sealed with plaster, otherwise they would definitely become a handle in the hands of others in the future.

However, Zhang Ruolin is also looking forward to the arrival of the red era, and it feels quite intentional to shout slogans when she thinks about meeting at that time.

"Up?" Zhang Ruolin looked at Zhao Jianguo, who was sitting at the door, and asked with a smile, "There is a bench in the hall, why don't you move a bench out?"

"The clothes have been worn for a long time and are dirty, but it's fine. ”

Zhang Ruolin gave him a strange look and hinted to her, "Why don't you take it off, and I'll wash it for you?" It just so happens that I also have a lot of clothes to wash." ”

"Then I'm bothering you. Zhao Jianguo said with a faint smile.

Zhang Ruolin twitched the corner of her mouth, "Then you take it off." ”

Zhao Jianguo stood up, said "um", and turned back to the room.

Zhang Ruolin leaned the big broom against the wall, put the basket down, picked up the nylon rope inside, looked in the yard, put the rope ball on the windowsill, turned around and shouted to the house: "Zhao Jianguo, wait a minute, help me kill the chicken." ”

Zhao Jianguo let out an "oh" and walked out with his clothes.

When I entered the kitchen, I came out with a large bowl filled with some water and a kitchen knife in my hand.

Zhao Jianguo put his clothes on the steps and walked over with a cane, "Give it to me, you just have the chicken." ”

Zhang Ruolin said "um", put the bowl on the ground, twisted the old hen in the basket, grabbed the chicken feet with one hand, grabbed the wings with the other hand, pressed the chicken head into the wings, reached out and pulled the top of the chicken's neck, squatted on the ground, and put the chicken's neck in the bowl.

Zhao Jianguo put the cane under his other arm, holding the head of the chicken in one hand and the knife in the other, and made a slight stroke, and suddenly the blood of the chicken gushed out.

After the chicken was bloody, Zhang Ruolin stuffed the chicken head into the wings and threw it on the ground on the side, picked up the bowl, returned to the kitchen and grabbed a little and put it inside, picked up the chopsticks and stirred it gently.

Picked up the basin, wrung the kettle, Zhang Ruolin poured hot water into the basin, after testing the water temperature, it felt about the same, put the chicken in the basin, squatted down and began to pluck the feathers.

Zhang Ruolin glanced at Zhao Jianguo, who was sitting on the top of the steps with a newspaper, and asked, "Do you know that Zhao Erzhu is in that unit?"

Zhao Jianguo raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and looked at Zhang Ruolin, "I used to be in the Black Province, but now I don't know, why are you asking this?"

"Can you help me inquire?"

"You're looking for him?"

Zhang Ruolin nodded slightly, it is not too late for the gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and the villain to take revenge, from morning to night, it has already been made clear, the people of the old Zhao family do not let go, and they still come out like this.

If it weren't for Zhao Jianguo, I don't know what would happen, and if it were replaced by other men who didn't take responsibility, Zhang Ruolin really didn't dare to think about what the consequences would be.

Thinking about what happened the night before yesterday, Zhang Ruolin is still a little frightened.

She really couldn't swallow this breath.

This kind of person should trample them to death at one time, know what the consequences are, and dare not be so rampant next time.

"Can't put it down?" Zhao Jianguo asked tentatively.

Zhang Ruolin glanced at her, and replied angrily, "How do you feel?"

"How do I know. ”

"Can you find it?"

"Why bother? It's all divided, is it necessary to fight for a breath? Tell you the place, you can go there? Do you know how far it is? From your hometown to him, you have to take the train several times, and you won't be able to get there in twenty days. Tell you how to go, you can't find it, let alone how dangerous this road is, you don't know a few big characters, how can you find it?"

"I don't have a long mouth?

Zhao Jianguo smiled, "It's okay to open your mouth and ask? Can you say what people outside can understand? People outside can understand? Out of our county, the accent outside is different, the farther away the accent is, the more different the accent, unless it is a person who runs outside all the year round, maybe you can speak some local dialects, like you who have never been out of the house, or forget it." ”

Zhang Ruolin glanced at it, unless it was the kind of "chirping" that she couldn't understand, she could hear the general meaning of the dialect of any place, and the northern dialect was the easiest to understand, basically a big taste.
