Chapter 5: Uncle
Luo Xiangdong drove his second-hand white four-wheeled vehicle into the village, and after entering the village, he began to slow down, and wanted to stop at the shop of Li Er's family not far in front of him to buy a few packs of cigarettes and two bags of salt. There is no salt at home, he hasn't been home for a few days, and when he gets home, he plans to order some noodles and make some marinade to eat.
An old man on the side of the road was walking home with a hoe and a straw hat and trouser legs, he went out to work for half a day in the morning, and when he was hungry, he had to go home and eat something to have the strength to continue working. Hearing the sound of a car, he thought it might be Luo Xiangdong's car. Because other families in the village except for horse-drawn carts are the kind of agricultural tricycles used for farming. That kind of tricycle drives abruptly like a machine gun, while Luo Xiangdong does not farm, and often goes outside to pick up carpenters to do work, driving a four-wheeled truck, and the noise is much smaller.
"Xiangdong, are you looking for a job again? will you do it at someone else's house this time or will you take the job back to do it?"
Luo Xiangdong slowly opened next to him and told him, "Bring back a few chairs this time and bring them back for repair." When you're done, just send them back. ”
The two said a few words to the old man and he was about to get home, and when he turned a corner, he said goodbye to Luo Xiangdong and went to his house. Luo Xiangdong drove forward for another hundred and ten meters, parked the car opposite the store, and then got out of the car, closed the door, crossed the road and entered the store.
When he came in, Fang Qiuxiang hadn't left yet, and was telling people what the bracelet she was wearing was and where she bought it. Then someone praised it: "Daughter-in-law Xue, you have a good life, look at this dress, you are really rich, like Mrs. Kuo." ”
Fang Qiuxiang is complacent, what she wants is this effect, not to make others envious and jealous, what is she spending all this money for?
After listening to the man's words, Fang Qiuxiang said: "It's okay, that is, luck has only become better and better in the past six months, don't you know, my son's work was not smooth at all half a year ago, and my son and his father were too, and he took a car trip and had a car accident, and lost a lot of money." It's only gotten better since half a year ago. ”
The people around her originally occasionally echoed her words, but when they heard her say this, and then looked at Luo Xiangdong who walked in at the door of the store, no one dared to answer.
Fang Qiuxiang originally thought that after she finished saying this, someone would answer it, what did she mean by saying it alone. But no one answered. When she said that she was halfway through her heart, she continued: "So, when this kid is looking for a partner, he has to look at the other party's fate, and if his fate is not good, it will affect the fortune of the whole family." Thanks to my son, now he has found another one. Now he's quite taken seriously in the unit......"
It had been seven or eight minutes since Luo Xiangdong came in, and he was standing not far behind Fang Qiuxiang, he silently took out the cigarette case with only one cigarette left from his trouser pocket, lit the cigarette, and leaned on the counter next to him and smoked silently. His eyes stared at Fang Qiuxiang's back.
There was someone next to Fang Qiuxiang who wanted to remind her and tell her to stop talking, Ye Xiaochi's brother-in-law Luo Xiangdong was coming to the east, right behind her.
But when they saw Luo Xiangdong leaning on the counter, they were intimidated, and no one dared to speak out. Usually someone would greet Luo Xiangdong, but no one moved at this time. Even the poker players stopped and stopped throwing their cards.
Fang Qiuxiang realized that something was wrong, and when she looked back at some people's eyes, she was so frightened that she took a step back. But think about it, she didn't mention Ye Xiaochi's name, just said it, what can Luo Xiangdong do?
At this time, the owner of the shop, Li Er, was worried that something would happen, in case of a fight in the store, who would he talk to, and what kind of goods would he not need money?
So he hurriedly came over and grabbed Luo Xiangdong, putting on the most amiable face: "Xiangdong, I haven't looked at you for a few days, this is to go home after finishing work?"
In fact, there are quite a few people around who want to see the excitement, wondering if there will be a fight? If so, where will it be hit? Where will it be punched in the face? Or will Fang Qiuxiang be carried and thrown outside the door...... It's quite lively when you think about it.
There were spectators, and there were peacemakers, and immediately someone came over to talk to Luo Xiangdong like Li Er, trying to ease his emotions. Someone else poked Fang Qiuxiang and signaled her to leave quickly, at this time, it is important to go home first, after all, there are many people in her house.
Fang Qiuxiang also knew that it was not good at this time, Luo Xiangdong was different from ordinary villagers, when that guy was young, because his carpenter master's daughter was bullied by others, he had a big fight with people, and opened people's heads, and then he was imprisoned and reformed for two years before he came out. She usually doesn't dare to offend him, but she has to go too far today, and in Xingtou, her mouth is bald, and she can't help it, so she throws those words out, and now it's too late to regret it, and the water that spilled out of the words was spilled.
Others stabbed her again, and Fang Qiuxiang saw Luo Xiangdong squinting his eyes and raising his head, ignoring all the words of others, and only looking at her.
At this time, she was still waiting for something, reached for a cigarette she bought on the counter and walked to the door.
Luo Xiangdong was standing not far from the door, where she had to go out. When passing by Luo Xiangdong's side, Fang Qiuxiang only felt that her legs and feet were weak, her throat was dry, and her heart was beating as if she was about to jump out of her chest.
Fortunately, she crossed the threshold smoothly, and then walked out a few steps, and Na Luo did not chase it out to the east.
Fang Qiuxiang thought: Is it that her family is getting better and better now, and she is almost the richest family in the village, so Luo Xiangdong also has scruples and does not dare to make enemies with her? Hmph, he is just like this, and how capable do you think he is?
Fang Qiuxiang thought about it, looked back and glanced again, Luo Xiangdong still didn't move, although he looked at her, he really didn't move. She turned her head and prepared to go home, and even wanted to tell her family about what happened in the store at this time, so that they would know that Luo Xiangdong and the Ye family were like this.
The onlookers in the store and the shopkeeper Li Er also thought that Luo Xiangdong would not go out, after all, beating people is not good, and it will be illegal. Although they are also aggrieved by the Ye family in their hearts, if their own family members have nothing to say, what can they, outsiders, say?
Just when everyone thought this would be the case, Luo Xiangdong lazily threw the cigarette butt he had just finished smoking to the ground, crushed it with his foot, and then stepped out of the door with the same laziness.
Just under everyone's noses, he lowered his head, bent over, picked up the half bucket that Li Er had put at the door, threw a hand towel and threw a rag of water that had not yet been poured, and walked a few steps forward.
As for the direction, it was no surprise that it was towards Fang Qiuxiang. Fang Qiuxiang heard the footsteps, turned around, and saw Luo Xiangdong carrying a red plastic bucket, with horror in his eyes.
"You, what do you want to do?" replied to her with half a bucket of dirty water coming down her head. Luo Xiangdong poured unfast, as if he was watering the flowers and plants he raised, and poured down the curly hair on the top of Fang Qiuxiang's head, and the water flowed down, Fang Qiuxiang's delicate shirt, gold chain, gold bracelet and gold ring were all spared.
At this time, there was an earth-shattering scream in front of the store not far from the village committee, which was heard by more than a dozen families living nearby.
"How do you kill a pig? Look at it......"
