As soon as winter comes, not to mention the people who rush to the market to eat noodles to warm their bodies, most of the workers in the factory have not brought food, rather than bringing a lunch box of frozen ice ballast, it is better to buy rice to save trouble, a meal is not expensive and can be full. One by one, the workers were still worried about the price increase, and they were relieved only after Wu Daguang's repeated assurances.

After going to the market to deliver food, after finishing the work, the overloaded physical labor had exhausted Wu Daguang's strength, and he didn't want to do anything when he got home, he lay on the kang softly, just wanting to lie down like this The end of the world.

Xinghua is very well-behaved, seeing that Daddy is tired and doesn't want to say a word, trotting out of the yard, pulling out a few firewood from the firewood stack in the corner of the wall and carrying it into the house, lighting the match with her little hand, lighting it three or four times before lighting the firewood, and putting the firewood into the stove, she has already learned to make a fire.

There is food prepared early at home, Xinghua scoops a scoop of water in the water tank and puts it into the pot, puts the steaming compartment, puts the cake made by Daddy on the steaming compartment, covers the lid, and then sits honestly by the stove to add fire.

Wait for the white gas to come out of the lid of the pot, and the apricot blossoms will no longer add to the fire. These were all taught by Grandma a few days before she left.

She didn't dare to open the lid of the pot, for the heat of the lid, after scalding once, she was vigilant, every time she would wait for the temperature to drop before moving, this time was no exception.

When the temperature dropped, Xinghua opened the lid of the pot, brought a bowl, inserted the cake into the play with chopsticks, and happily carried the bowl into the house.

Just like the first time the two met, Xinghua put the bowl on the edge of the kang and beckoned his father to eat: "Daddy is not hungry, Xinghua warmed the cake for Daddy." ”

Wu Daguang's reaction was not the same as the first time, he opened his eyes slightly when he heard the sound of apricot blossoms, and what greeted him was a steaming cake in a bowl.

Wu Daguang got up, took a bite of the cake with a bowl, he ate a mouthful of cake with mixed tastes, he was too difficult after being reborn, and he began to think that the apricot blossom was his burden, but he didn't expect it to evolve into motivation now, and he also ate the food cooked by a four-year-old child.

Xinghua looked at the fragrance of her father's food, grinning with a small mouth, although she was a little silly, and she still wore crooked braids, she still couldn't stop the aura that her peers didn't have.

Halfway through the meal, Wu Daguang thought of Er Laizi and asked, "Has Uncle Er Lai come over?"

Er Laizi is an elder, and when he opens his mouth, he calls Er Laizi, isn't it bad to teach Xinghua, but Er Laizi's full name is Zhang Erlai, and he can only add an uncle word after Erlai.

"Uncle Lai hasn't been here. Xinghua replied cheerfully.

Wu Daguang pondered, why didn't Er Laizi come, he was afraid of the cold, and his leaky house was better than going out to bask in the sun in winter.

Just as I was guessing, the loudspeaker in the village broadcast intermittently.

"Ask one person from each household to come to the brigade for a meeting, preferably the one in charge, and ask one person from each household to come to the brigade for a meeting, preferably the ...... in charge."

People on the streets go out in twos and threes.

"What's wrong?"

"I don't know, it's a hair subsidy. ”

"The village chief had already quarreled with the loudspeaker. ”

These chatting people walked towards the brigade while chatting, and when they saw Wu Daguang, they took the initiative to greet: "Daguang, you are walking around the town, you know a wide range of news, do you know what happened in our village?"

"I haven't heard of any major movements, I guess it's a side matter. Wu Daguang responded.

The villagers gathered in groups of three or five to the brigade.

In the courtyard of the brigade, there were three lonely chairs, one of which sat the village chief, and no one of the villagers who came early was interested in sitting on the chair.

The villagers had almost gathered, and Wu Daguang was also chatting among the villagers.

As a high-ranking butcher in the village, Liu Butcher always likes to appear in the finale, learning from the appearance of the rich man in the collective movie in the town, holding a small teapot in his hand, drinking tea leisurely, but his mouth that is used to eating lard does not allow him to adapt to the bitter and then sweet taste of tea, and he has long been replaced by brown sugar water.

"Yo, the big guys have arrived, what's going on. Butcher Liu happily walked through the villagers and went straight to the chair, he didn't expect it at all.

The village chief looked at the villagers who came, and they were almost here, but the chairs next to him were still missing.

"Why hasn't Wu Daguang come yet, didn't you call him when you came?" the village chief suddenly said Wu Daguang.

Wu Daguang was shocked in the crowd, and thought that the village chief was looking for him by name, could it be that today's incident had something to do with him?

"It's coming, it's coming, I'm here early. Wu Daguang squeezed out of the crowd and appeared in front of the village chief.

The village chief smiled at Wu Daguang for the first time, and it was hard to believe that the smile appeared on the wrinkled old face. The words that came out then flattered Wu Daguang.

The village chief patted the chair next to him, "Daguang came and sat down for a meeting." ”

What, I heard it right, let yourself sit next to him, in my memory, the village held a meeting, and only the village chief and Butcher Liu could sit, and that person symbolized the status of the village.

"What's the matter with Daguang, come and sit down for a meeting. The village chief saw that Wu Daguang saw that the chair was sent and reminded him.

"Oh...... Oh. Wu Daguang responded and sat next to the village chief.

The village chief saw Wu Daguang sitting down and began to say the purpose.

"The second Laizi of our village went to a household in Shangwa Village ten days ago to steal a chicken, and last afternoon Er Laizi was arrested by the people of Shangwa Village. The village chief pointed to an inconspicuous young man standing aside: "No, he was sent by Shangwa Village, Shangwa Village will wait for us to give a letter." ”

Wu Daguang finally knew the reason why Er Laizi didn't appear, and he dared to be arrested.

The villagers below are gossiping.

"Erlaizi stole chickens, and we didn't eat them. ”

"No, Er Laizi will eat a chicken today and a dog tomorrow, and we will always wipe his buttocks. ”

"I didn't even see a chicken feather, so we asked us to pay, and Shangwa Village thought it was beautiful. ”

"The second laizi deserves it, and he suffers it himself. ”

Wu Daguang didn't speak, didn't refute, the villagers were right, Er Laizi is such a person, just do it himself, and besides, Er Laizi is a barefoot, what are you afraid of wearing shoes, it's not an old society now, what can they do to Er Laizi?

After chatting and talking, the villagers unanimously said that they would not pay for it.

Butcher Liu on the chair crossed Erlang's legs, held a teapot, and snorted coldly suddenly, as a pig killer, his voice was much higher than that of ordinary people, and the villagers habitually stopped talking and waited for Butcher Liu to speak.

"Erlaizi is a gangster, what does it have to do with us, according to the meaning of Shangwa Village, Erlaizi steals a chicken, and we will pay back the money in Xiawa Village? ”

"That's right, we are us, and Erlaizi is Erlaizi. ”

"When did Er Laizi treat himself as a person from this village, and even steal his own house. ”
