Long Leiyan had just walked away, and Chen Husheng took a bite on the ground: "Cut, I know that this kid is not well-intentioned, he thinks about Niuniu every day, and he doesn't look at his own virtues, he sells fried rice, and he wants to eat swan meat!" I'll tell you, don't call Niu Niu to associate with him in the future! ”

Aunt Liu watched Long Leiyan walk away, walked into the house from outside the door, and happened to hear her husband's remarks, so angry that she pinched her waist and said, "What are you talking about?" I have watched him grow up since I was a child, this child is not a bad person, he has a good heart! I can't see your daughter's careful thoughts? The little one has never provoked her! You're a big man with such a small heart? ”

"Good eyes? Can you eat it as a meal? Chen Husheng was stimulated by his wife's words and stood up suddenly, grabbed the wrinkled and greasy chef's hat on his head angrily, and threw it on the table: "He's a good boy?" His dad was by him! Who in the whole alley doesn't know! You still say I'm small-minded? In the past two years, I have helped him a lot, and I haven't seen him come to see me at home during the New Year's holidays, and he hasn't even said a kind word! ”

Aunt Liu pinched her waist and stood in front of Chen Husheng, and said in a low voice: "Old Chen, when Brother Rong was alive, he didn't help us less, even if he didn't have the past feelings, they were all neighbors, a lonely child, what happened to us helping him?" Don't talk to me, so that the neighbors will hear and be embarrassed! ”

Obviously, Aunt Liu's unangry and self-righteous momentum suppressed Chen Husheng, he sighed, pressed half of the cigarette in his hand into the teacup, extinguished the cigarette butt with a stab, and walked to the kitchen dejectedly: "I don't care about anything, what do you like, go to work!" ”

At the end of the T-shaped street, there is a large puddle with a radius of several hundred meters. This puddle is a few dozen meters to the north, is a section of the remains of the ancient city wall, there are a lot of spontaneous flowers, birds, fish and insects on the city wall, many retired elderly people carry cages and birds to wander around here, here is the Jiangcheng people affectionately become the 'top of the city'.

The big waterhole is called 'Houhe', according to the old man's legend, it is a section of the ancient moat, because no one has paid attention to the treatment for a long time, it has become a puddle, and mosquitoes and flies are rampant in spring, summer and autumn, and the smell is stinking. Adults walked here with their noses covered, and after a long time, it became an inaccessible place.

Adults rarely come, and the Houhe area has become a happy place for bear children. The water is clear and there are no fish, but the large number of plankton and mosquito and fly larvae in the back river raise a lot of fish and shrimp. Half-grown children like to come here to catch fish and shrimp with a net when the water is clear after the rain. Children skipping school use this as a refuge. Of course, there are also many idle people in the area around the city wall who gather here to conduct some underground market transactions.

For Long Leiyan, Houhe is simply his nightmare, because the back wall of his house is next to the river, and the mosquitoes and flies in summer are desperately drilling into the bedroom as if they are going to the supermarket to buy them, and then Long Leiyan's adoptive father gritted his teeth and used bricks to kill all the back windows.

Long Leiyan's electric three-wheeler had just arrived at the edge of the Houhe River, and five or six bear children ran over with nets, canned bottles, cloth bags, and bamboo baskets in their hands: "Brother Long, boss!" You're late today! Just now, Xiao Qi copied a carp crutch, which is more than half a catty! ”

The leading child's name is Liu Hao, nicknamed 'Mouse' fifteen or sixteen years old, looks like a clothes pole, has a thin face, has a black mole next to the nose, wears a white bib vest, a pair of fat shorts covers his knees, he is carrying a supermarket plastic shopping bag in his hand like a treasure, inside the bag is a live half-big carp, handed to Long Leiyan: "Here, Brother Long, boil soup and drink at night!" ”

Long Leiyan smiled happily, smiled very happily, these are Long Leiyan's hardcore little brothers, who grew up with him since he was a child, and he knows the roots. Whenever he saw these children, he was very happy, and in his words, he was also a member of the team, and a sense of pride arose.

Before Long Leiyan could reach out to catch the carp, another child with a little freckles on his face brought over a big bag: "Boss, this is the rice 'sent' by my father's unit, I can't eat it at home, so I'll give it to you!" ”

Someone handed over another basket of eggs: "Boss! Hey, eggs! Also, it's also 'sent' by my mother's unit" This is a simple little chubby dun with a smirk on his round face.

The parents of these two children, one in the grain depot and the other in the pastry factory, are both working in a hard-pressed unit with low wages and poor treatment.

Long Leiyan waved his hand and said: "Put it all in Niuniu's store, I'll come back at night to get it, the old rules, money, I'll give it to you when I go back!" "Long Leiyan can use these things anyway, and it can be regarded as finding a market for them in disguise.

"Okay, we'll put it in Niuniu's sister-in-law's shop in a while!" A few children coaxed together.

Long Leiyan stiffened his face and glared: "Don't talk nonsense!" I'm annoyed that I'll kick you kid! ”

"Yes! I promise never to talk nonsense in front of my eldest father-in-law and mother-in-law! Several children stood up together and said seriously.

In the minds of these children, only their own boss is worthy of the most beautiful girl in the area, and this idea has been deeply rooted in their hearts.

Long Leiyan rewarded each of them with a brain, and scolded with a smile: "Chew the root of your tongue again, I will tear your mouth!" When has this been? You don't have any classes today? ”

Liu Hao hurriedly explained: "Boss, don't you look at the calendar when you go out, today is June 1st, we have a holiday!" Oops, it hurts, boss, I've changed it! ”

Before he finished speaking, Long Leiyan grabbed his neck collar: "Little bastard, who is Meng?" June 1st is a primary school student, you are in the third year of junior high school, and you are still on vacation? When I didn't go to school? ”

These kids are not learning materials, skipping classes all day long, sneaking out to play. Long Leiyan has said them more than once, and even used himself as an example, with little effect, if he doesn't like to study, he doesn't love it, and it's useless to force him with a gun.

"Listen, from today onwards, don't let me see you skipping class, or we, brothers, will break up! If you don't like to go to school, you have to get a graduation certificate, don't be like me, set up a stall to sell fried rice every day, I don't have a chance to go back to school! As he spoke, Long Leiyan's expression became gloomy.

Seeing that the eldest was unhappy, several children hurriedly swore a gambling curse to promise that they would never skip school again in the future.

"Huh? Where did that kid go? Long Leiyan looked at his junior brother and found that the little brother with the best water nature was not there, so he asked strangely.

Liu Hao pointed to the distance and said: "That kid went to the bottom of the city wall to see the excitement, and he will come back in a while!" It's not too early, Brother Long, don't delay setting up a stall! Before he could finish speaking, he saw a group of people running in their direction from a distance.
