On the way to the big market, Wang Bo kept thinking about what to buy for Li Niang's family, and after thinking about it, he felt that it was better to please Zhang Bo and Li Niang than to please their daughter Zhang Jing, so he went to Xingxing Bookstore to buy a math reference book and gave it to Zhang Jing. During this time, he was reviewing the mathematics of the third year of junior high school, and if Zhang Jing came to ask at that time, he would just discuss it together and make progress together.

The big market in Sifang is another farmer's market, next to the TV station and the gymnasium. Wang Bo's aunt's family also lived here a year ago. This farmer's market mainly sells poultry, livestock, fresh seafood and other raw and fresh goods, and those who sell horizontal ducks in Zhang's yard have rented stalls here.

The so-called "horizontal duck" shouted by the Quartet is, to put it bluntly, killing live ducks, and ducks after removing their hair and internal organs, which is nothing unusual. In the early days, people in the city bought chickens and ducks, all of them bought live, and after returning home, they boiled water and plucked their feathers, and bled to remove their internal organs, which was very troublesome. Later, some people tried not to sell live ducks and chickens, but to pre-process them once and sell semi-finished products directly, but they did not expect that the business would be very good. When the others saw it, they immediately followed suit and began to sell the half-finished ducks. Then someone gave a name to this semi-finished duck, the horizontal duck.

Wang Bo rode his bicycle around the big market, looking for Zhang Jing's stall, and it didn't take long for him to see Zhang Jifa and Li Guilan, who had nothing to do and were chatting with their next-door neighbors.

"Uncle Zhang! Li Niang!" Wang Bo rode his bicycle to the booth of the two and greeted him.

"Ah, it's Wang Bo, are you here to buy a horizontal duck?" Li Guilan was a little surprised when she saw that it was Wang Bo, thinking that he had come to buy a horizontal duck. Although she had a smile on her face, she was obviously reluctant, and her tone of voice was a little lukewarm.

"Ah, Wang Bo. Zhang Jifa nodded at Wang Bo, with a common honest smile on his face.

"No, Li Niang. I came here to ask you to tell Zhang Jing, because our family recently opened a rice noodle shop in the city, and I have to help out in the rice noodle shop every day, and I don't have much time, only in the afternoon when the rice noodle shop has no business, I am more free, so if Zhang Jing wants to ask me questions, she can only come to the rice noodle shop in the afternoon. By the way, Li Niang, this is a mathematics reference book that I have used before, I think it is not bad, at that time, the high school entrance examination mathematics can be scored full This reference book played a lot of roles. You can help me get it to Zhang Jing. Wang Bo took out the reference book in the luggage box and put it on the countertop of the shop.

"Ah, this is a good idea, and let you break the bank! Then I will thank you quietly, Wang Bo. Li Guilan was in the clouds, and accepted the reference book with a smile on her face.

After Zhang Jing went to Wang Bo's house twice in a row to find Wang Bo to no avail, Li Guilan was very angry, feeling that Wang Bo's baby was too fake, saying one thing and doing another, but she also asked her daughter to bring a duck to his family, which was really feeding the dog!

Now when I heard Wang Bo's explanation, I realized that I had misunderstood people, and then I was very interested in asking, "By the way, Wang Bo, you just said that your family has opened a rice noodle shop in the Sifang? Is it true? Where is it in the Sifang?"

"It's near the entrance of No. 4 Middle School. Sister-in-law rice noodles!"

"What's the matter? Sister-in-law Zeng's rice noodles? Wang Bo, you said that the rice noodle shop opened by your family is called Sister-in-law Zeng's rice noodles?" At this moment, a voice suddenly sounded, but with obvious doubts and disbelief.

Wang Bo looked at the voice, and saw that it was Zhang Xiaojun who spoke, and he didn't smile anymore when he had always maintained a gentle smile on his face, and said lightly: "It's called Sister-in-law Zeng's rice noodles." ”

Zhang Xiaojun, like Zhang Jifa, is also a close neighbor of Wang Bo's family, and Zhang Jifa's family lives in the courtyard of Zhang's family. Before selling horizontal ducks, Zhang Xiaojun's life was very evil. His biological father died when he was a few years old, and then followed his mother to remarry and came to the courtyard of the Zhang family. Zhang Xiaojun's stepfather and Wang Bo's stepfather Wang Jichang are almost the same virtue, and they both belong to the type of lazy and lazy. Of course, life will not be good with such a man in the family, so that when he gets married, he can't even get a decent bride price.

To this day, Wang Bo still retains a very profound scene about Zhang Xiaojun: one winter morning, Zhang Xiaojun, who was in rags, carried his one-year-old child out for a walk. Because he didn't wear much clothes on his body, and the weather was really cold, Zhang Xiaojun, whose nose was red from the cold, kept stomping his feet and rubbing his hands, while sucking hard from time to time the two long dragons that flowed out of his nostrils. Sometimes the snot flows too fast, and Zhang Xiaojun doesn't have time to inhale it, so he simply sticks out his tongue and rolls it into his mouth, and then coughs, and the sound of "bah" is mixed with saliva in his mouth and spits out far away.

"Uncle Wang is good! Zeng Niang is good!" Zhang Xiaojun, who passed by Wang Bo's house, saw Wang Jichang and Zeng Fanyu, who were a generation older than him, and hurriedly nodded his head and said hello busily.

Wang Bo's mother sympathized with Zhang Xiaojun's plight and felt that his mother and son were in sympathy with her, so she often asked Zhang Xiaojun to pick vegetables in his own backyard. His mother brought his son Zhang Ke to her house to play, as long as she had it at home, whether it was melon seeds or fruits, her mother would generously take them out for Zhang Ke to eat, and she was not distressed at all.

Zhang Xiaojun's unlucky and sad days soon ushered in earth-shaking changes after he began to sell horizontal ducks in Zhang's yard. Zhang Xiaojun, who followed Zhang Jifa and these old generations (seniors) to do business together, quickly got rich, built a house, bought a motorcycle, and lived a life of "upstairs and downstairs, electric lights and telephones" within a few years.

Zhang Xiaojun became rich and became the first group of people on the team to get rich, and then, when Zhang Xiaojun passed by the door of Wang Bo's house again, the greetings between the neighbors were gone, and the greetings were gone, and Zhang Xiaojun's standard movements were only two: either turn his head to the side, or hold his head high, make a rooster and ride a motorcycle with great pride.

It was not only himself who quickly changed, but also his mother, Xie Decui, the humble and kind old woman, who seemed to have become an arrogant, snobbish, and even arrogant old woman overnight.

Zhang Xiaojun's son Zhang Ke grew up slowly, almost completely a copy of his Lao Tzu and his grandmother, with his nostrils facing the sky, no one looked down on him, no one looked down on him.

The only thing that hasn't changed is probably his wife Jiang Mei. As long as she is not on the same road as Zhang Xiaojun or Xie Decui, Jiang Mei will greet Wang Bo's family when she sees it, "Uncle Wang", "Zeng Niang", and "Bo'er".

Zhang Xiaojun's wife, Jiang Mei, can be regarded as a flower in the surrounding towns. is more than one meter tall, with upright facial features, white, and does not look like the skin of rural people at all, so that Jiang Mei can attract the attention of those men and women on the team as soon as she leaves the house. According to her mother, Wang Bo told that this Jiang Mei is a person in the mountains, and her family is very poor, and she can get out of the mountains and marry Pingba, which can be regarded as getting out of the sea of suffering. As soon as his mother said this, Wang Bo somewhat understood why such an unlucky and sad guy as Zhang Xiaojun was able to marry such a flower-like mother-in-law.

However, objectively speaking, although Zhang Xiaojun himself is not tall, less than 1.7 meters, his face is angular and quite handsome. Jiang Mei can agree to this family business, I am afraid it has something to do with Zhang Xiaojun's little white face.

After all, it is not only the nature of men to love beauty, but also women.

"The sub-line is a mountain wolf, and if you have ambition, you will be rampant", referring to Zhang Xiaojun's family.

Except, of course, his mother-in-law Jiang Mei.
