Zhonghai City, Jilong Hutong---

The name of this alley is very special, and the reason why it is called "Chicken Coop Hutong" is because this alley looks like a large chicken coop from a distance.

Li Yuan's family lives here.

It's still raining.

Li Yuan came back with a "Nanjing Plate Duck", a large pot of dishes boiled in brine, and a bottle of liquor.

Chickens and dogs are jumping in the house.

But it was two children playing around.

His wife, Li Suzhen, was boiling medicine on honeycomb coal, and the smell of Chinese herbs could be smelled from a long distance.

The sick old mother lay on the bed, coughing from time to time.

Li Suzhen, who was boiling medicine, saw her husband Li Yuan coming back, so she asked him loudly why he came back so late and found a job.

It turned out that Li Suzhen also knew the news of the closure of the fertilizer factory where her husband Li Yuan was located, especially in the past few days, her husband Li Yuan always sighed in bed, got up in the middle of the night and sat and smoked, Li Suzhen saw these situations in her eyes and remembered them in her heart.

She is not in good health, she can't go out to work like an ordinary woman, and there are two children to support at home, and an old man to take care of, for Li Suzhen, this situation is terrible, but what is even worse is that now her husband has no job.

What to do?

Is it to let the family starve to death?

Li Suzhen knew that her husband was under a lot of pressure, so she didn't say anything, but she was very anxious in her heart.

But now, seeing her husband coming back with a duck in his hand and liquor, Li Suzhen's anger didn't come anywhere, so she changed her face and asked her husband in such a tone.

Li Yuan didn't say anything, went directly into the house, put down the roast goose and the big pot of vegetables in his hand, and then shouted at the two children who were playing: "Eat plate duck, stop making trouble!"

The two children are in the development stage, and they are very greedy, as soon as they heard that there is a duck to eat, and they have not been touched with meat for a few months, they immediately stopped the chase, ran over, and reached out to catch the duck.

Li Yuan stretched out his hand and opened the two little dirty hands and said, "Take the chopsticks!"

The two children giggled and went to get chopsticks.

Li Yuan said to the old lady lying on the bed: "Mother, are you hungry? I also bought your favorite big pot of vegetables, which contains refreshing duck blood, and I will feed you later." ”

The children came over with dishes and chopsticks, and pulled the duck to eat.

Li Yuan also took chopsticks, picked up some boiled duck blood from the big pot of dishes, filled half a bowl, and fed it to the old lady.

His wife, Li Suzhen, also boiled the Chinese medicine at this time, poured it out and put it on the coffee table to cool.

Li Yuan opened the liquor and beckoned her, "Come and eat." ”

Li Suzhen glared at him, "What to eat, the family is almost unable to open the pot, you still have the heart to drink." ”

Li Yuan didn't say a word, he directly took out more than 10,000 yuan wrapped in newspaper from his arms, and slapped it on the table with a "snap", "Look at what this is?"

Li Suzhen made a tiger face, grabbed the paper bag, opened it, and was frightened, "Where did you get so much money?"

Seeing that his wife was taken aback by his move, Li Yuan was very satisfied, how long had he not been so upright and confident, and he had spoken to his wife with confidence.

He misses his wife when he first got married, and he misses his wife who is obedient to him and will not nag casually, but unfortunately, those years are gone.

"This is what I earned. Li Yuan said.

"How did you earn it?" Li Suzhen knew her husband Li Yuan's ability well, and she didn't believe that her husband could make so much money at once.

Li Yuan poured himself a glass of liquor, drank it dry, wiped his mouth with the back of his hand and said, "Of course, I earned it by my own ability." ”

Li Suli didn't have time to talk to him, so she began to count the money, counting it quickly.

No matter what kind of woman she is, she seems to have an amazing talent in counting money, so much so that with so much money, Li Yuan counted for half a day, and Li Suzhen only counted for a few seconds.

"It's fifteen thousand in total, so much money, where did you get it. Li Suzhen didn't believe her husband's nonsense.

"Didn't I tell you, I earned it myself. Li Yuan got up and diverted the topic, "I'll go see if my mother has finished eating." ”

"Don't go, come back to me!Tell me clearly!" Li Suzhen pulled Li Yuan and didn't let him leave.

Li Yuan wanted to shake off his wife's hand, but he didn't, and almost knocked over the table.

The two children who were gnawing on the duck saw the adults fighting, they didn't eat it, their mouths were oily, they held the duck pieces, stared at them with wide eyes.

"Look at you, you're scared of the kids. Li Yuan said, "Good, you eat quickly, I'm playing with your mother." ”

Li Suzhen pulled Li Yuan outside.

Outside---

"If you're afraid of scaring the child, tell me clearly!

Faced with his wife, Li Yuan sighed, took out a cigarette, and told the story one by one while smoking.

"What? You actually help people do this kind of thing!" Li Suzhen's face changed in fright, "That fat third was not a good thing before, he must be trying to harm you by doing this." ”

"I know, but it makes money. Li Yuan said.

"It's a trivial matter whether you make money or not, but if your hand is crippled, how will I live the rest of my life!" Li Suzhen said.

"Isn't that more than 10,000? ”

"10,000 farts!" Li Suzhen said angrily, "Your hands are important, or are they more than 10,000 important?

Li Yuan took a puff of cigarette and looked at the raindrops dripping from the eaves, "For me, you are the most important--- now that I have no job, I can't do anything, I can't let the children go hungry, and I can't let you keep working hard...... With this money, we can do a small business in the future, don't you want to sell clothes, let's get a small stall, buy some clothes and hang them in the nearby market, so that we don't have to worry about life in the future......"

Li Suzhen cried, tears couldn't help but flow, and beat Li Yuan with her hand: "Why are you so stupid!

Li Yuan smiled bitterly, pestled the cigarette butt under the eaves, let the raindrops extinguish, and said, "I have no choice!"

Li Suzhen cried even more and buried her head in Li Yuan's arms.

She knows that her family is short of money now, but she is really reluctant to let her husband do such a thing.

"Don't cry! Now that I've made up my mind, this matter can't be changed, what should we do, let's accept our fate!"

Resigned to fate?

Li Suzhen was a little unwilling. I don't steal or rob, I do my duty, why should I suffer such a ordeal?

Just when the husband and wife were hugging and crying, there was a knock on the door.

A voice said, "Anyone?"

Li Yuan couldn't help but be stunned, who would come at this time?

Hurriedly wiped a handful of tears and looked towards the door, but saw a man with the appearance of Qiu Ba standing at the door, and said with a smile: "I'm sorry to disturb you to cry with your headache--- introduce yourself, my name is Udon!"
