Zhou Xiulan pushed Jiang Gui away, "I'm so good at talking about a fart, I look down on our family, right?" trembling and pointing at Li Guilan and said, "Li Li Li What is Lan?"

"Li Guilan. Jiang Gui replied subconsciously on the side.

"Yes, Li Guilan, you are not welcome in our family, you let me out!" Zhou Xiulan roared.

Jiang Gui stopped Zhou Xiulan, glared at Qin De and shouted, "Old Qin!"

Qin De saw that things had changed, and he was about to have a conflict, so he hurriedly got up and pushed Zhou Xiulan, "It's none of your business, stay in the house!" Xiaoyue, get your mother into the house!"

Jiang Gui also persuaded: "Go, go, Xiulan, don't be angry." ”

Watching a few people push and shove them into the back room, Qin De said to Li Guilan: "I understand what you said! As a parent, I also understand! I agree to this! You can go!"

Li Guilan took out a stack of banknotes from her purse and put them on the dilapidated dining table, and said, "I looked at it just outside the door, you see that this house is leaking, this is 3,000 yuan, find someone to repair it!" After speaking, he got up and was about to leave.

Qin De was ashamed and angry, and resolutely refused: "No, you take it back!"

Zhou Xiulan, who was in the back room, heard the words outside, and immediately rushed out like crazy, Jiang Gui and Qin Shanyue didn't even stop them.

Zhou Xiulan grabbed a stack of money on the dining table and threw it at Li Guilan, and the banknotes were scattered in the air, spilling everywhere. Then he chased after Li Guilan, shouting as he walked: "Who are you taking the money for? How many stinky money come to my house to show off? I will fight with you!"

Qin De got up and grabbed his wife, Jiang Gui and Qin Shanyue also grabbed Zhou Xiulan, Qin Shanhe sat on the ground and cried, Zhou Xiulan hugged her son and cried and made trouble.

Li Guilan looked back and said, "Vixen!" and walked away quickly.

Qin De gritted his teeth, trembling all over, unable to say a word, Zhou Xiulan got up and overturned the table, and scolded: "Eat, eat, I'll let you eat!" Qin Shanhe cried even harder on the side.

Jiang Gui looked at the mess in front of him at a loss, and slapped his thigh: "Oops!

Qin De was stunned for a long time, bent down and picked up the money on the ground and said, "Jiang Zhishu, please return this money to her, our family is poor, and the poor also want to be faced!"

"Alas!" Jiang Gui sighed.

Qin De thought for a while, and then said, "This matter...... Don't tell the sea yet, this kid has a lot of self-esteem, I'll talk to him alone when I find an opportunity. ”

"Alas!" Jiang Gui sighed again, not knowing how to persuade him.

......

In the northwest corner of Guhe Town, Zhong Guotao rented two rooms here for the convenience of work, and he was usually busy with work, so this was a place to sleep.

After graduating from junior high school, Zhong Guotao helped his grandfather for a few days at first, and then the old Zhong Tou passed a relative in the town, who contacted a friend of a sports car, and asked Zhong Guotao to exercise with the car, and then learn to drive to get a driver's license, which is also a craft.

In the convoy for the public to drive, in fact, there are a lot of cats, a trailer seventeen or eighteen meters, bundled of wood can pull one hundred and sixty or seventy square, the company's management room will be weighed when loading, and the unloading of the truck at the destination should also be weighed, but this is not difficult to the driver, the water tank is empty when the car is weighed, a little wood is unloaded from the halfway, and then the water tank is filled when it is almost to the place.

Zhong Guotao is an outlier in the team, he has never done anything on it, at first everyone laughed at him for being stupid, but Zhong Guotao laughed at it, still harmonious with everyone, and did not fight for interests when encountered, and gradually had a reputation in the team, and after a long time, the leaders naturally saw it in their eyes.

When Zhong Guotao was favored by Mr. Wu and transferred to the car class, no one ever laughed at him, and after running by Mr. Wu's side for a few years, he had knowledge, and his life was naturally much better than ordinary people.

Since the bridge was built in Shanghe Village, Grandpa Lao Zhongtou was also unemployed, and originally planned to rent three larger houses and take Grandpa over, but Lao Zhongtou was stubborn and used to it in Shanghe Village all his life, and spontaneously took care of the villagers' homes and hospitals, and was even more reluctant to stay in the town.

Zhong Guotao had no choice but to rent two huts casually, burn a stove, and occasionally cook some food when he rested.

At this time, Zhong Guotao and Qin Shanhai just happened to catch up with the rest, packed a few dishes from the restaurant in the town, and the two came to the rental room together, and a chicken was stewed on the stove, and the two sat at the small table and chatted face to face.

Zhong Guotao took a bottle of liquor and asked, "Drink some?"

"Don't pour it, you still won't drink it. Qin Shanhai replied.

"So you don't drink, and you haven't practiced in the army yet?"

"No, I don't like to drink, and I still get drunk when I get drunk. ”

"Okay, I'll get you some soda. Zhong Guotao turned out half a bundle of orange soda from under the bed, poured himself a glass of white wine, poured a glass of soda for Qin Shanhai, picked up the wine glass and said, "Come, touch one, congratulations on your triumphant return." ”

The two took a sip, and Qin Shanhai smiled bitterly: "Return is return, not triumphant, I have to thank you for helping me find a job." I've been at home for a few days, and I have nowhere to go in embarrassment, and my mother loves to nag, and sometimes I can't wait to find a crack in the ground to get into. In the past few years, you have helped my family a lot. ”

"You said that I will be angry, a few days ago you went to my grandfather's house and sent the money, didn't you? Didn't you take me as a friend? Uncle Qin is also interesting, I heard that you have recorded it one by one, you take this money back!" Zhong Guotao frowned and said that he was going to pay for it.

Qin Shanhai explained: "One yard is one yard, Guotao, you give it to me when I don't have it, it's no problem, I'll pay you back if I have it, this is even more reasonable, there is nothing else." That's the end of it. Even if I'm only one day older than you, I'm your brother, and you have to listen to me. ”

"Cheng, then I won't talk about it. Eat vegetables and eat vegetables. ”

When the two of them played together, the two of them were about the same size, and they were arguing about who was big and who was small, which was quite interesting to say, and there were many peers in the entire Shanghe Village, so they could play together, and finally the two confirmed again and again that Qin Shanhai was one day older than Zhong Guotao.

"By the way, I'll tell you good news, the last time you were on duty to catch thieves, the captain of your forest ranger team reported to Mr. Wu, and he spoke highly of you, and I heard that he would give you an "advanced individual who fights gangsters", and he would reward you with 200 yuan. Tell me about the details at that time. ”

Qin Shanhai briefly recounted the experience, and finally concluded: "It's just catching up." Since we're doing this, we can't pretend we don't know anything and let the wood thief go, what do you say?"

"Liu Xiao is involved? He's not such a person, how can he do such a thing?" Zhong Guotao was surprised, "Hey! People now, they are changing so fast! If you get caught, you won't be able to get out, and your mother will have to die of anger!"

The relationship between Qin Shanhai and Liu Xiao has always been good, Zhong Guotao and Qin Shanhai are young, and naturally they have had contact with Liu Xiao, and they have the impression that Liu Xiao is very honest and responsible, when he was very young, his father died of illness, lived with his mother, and worked as a lumberjack after graduation, and there was no bad record.

Qin Shanhai explained: "Well, I asked Director Hou of the police station, and he said that Liu Xiao should have been coerced by Hu Scar, he knew how to cut wood, Hu Scar is a famous ruffian, and he took a fancy to this money, so he looked for Liu Xiao, this kid is honest, and he definitely doesn't dare to resist!"

"If you are coerced, it should be no big deal, I have time to inquire, Liu Xiao is not easy. Zhong Guotao said,

"Well, by the way, Guotao, you know this Director Hou, a big black man, with a beard, looks like the one who flies violently on TV. ”

Zhong Guotao said with a fluttering eyebrow: "You say Hou Lao Hei, who doesn't know him in Guhe Town, that hot temper, I have seen him catch a little ruffian who plays hooligan, the ruffian was not convinced at first, he opened his teeth and claws to resist, Hou Bearded roared, grabbed his neck with one hand, grabbed his leg with the other hand, and directly carried it and threw it into the police car, this is a real black whirlwind, our villagers there admire him, and the ruffian hooligan hides when he sees him!"

"Yes, I also heard about it, it was the last time he told me at the police station that he wanted to recruit contract police, so I signed up. If I am selected, I will also be a policeman!" Qin Shanhai said excitedly.

"Hehe, that's a good thing, I wish you success. Zhong Guotao picked up his wine glass.

Qin Shanhai raised his glass and touched it, and Zhong Guotao continued: "The sea, you haven't changed at all in the past few years. ”

Qin Shanhai said with emotion: "Yes, I have been a soldier for five years, what was it like when I left, except that my father stopped teaching, everything was still the same." But you've changed a lot, and you feel like you're much more mature than before. ”

Zhong Guotao thought for a while and said: "The sea, I feel that your thinking is a little twisted, radio and television are broadcast every day, reform and opening up has entered a new stage, and we are striding towards a well-off life, yes, we are poor and backward in Shanghe Village, when I was a child, Uncle Qin distributed a bicycle, and the people in the village looked at it rarely. When we first entered junior high school, our village was connected to electricity, and Jiang Zhishu got a black-and-white TV, and put that Huo Yuanjia on the wheat field at night. I went on a business trip to Guangzhou with Mr. Wu last month, and the lives of the people there were at least 20 years ahead of ours! Every family lived in a building with an elevator, and the streets were full of cars, so I had to wait for half a day to cross the road!"

Qin Shanhai couldn't stop nodding his head, Zhong Guotao took a sip of wine, pointed to Qin Shanhai's chest and said: "We are young, we have strength, this strength can not only farm, but also become rich and well-off, in this good situation, it depends on whether you are willing to do it! In the future, I will live a good life, if there is a chance, I will also let everyone live a good life!"
