There was harmony in the factory, but there was chaos at home.

Toilets have been completely reduced to public water rooms.

Every morning, Zhou Xiaoan set an alarm clock for himself, got up early to make the water he wanted to use, opened the outside door, locked the door of the living room, and completely handed over the corridor and bathroom to the neighbors on the second floor, as they tossed.

She had to rejoice that the bathroom was at the end of the hallway, and they wouldn't get into the living room or disturb her sleep.

It's almost time to go to work, Zhou Xiaoan cleaned up and opened the door connecting the living room and the corridor, usually at this time everyone has finished washing the dishes after receiving the water, the corridor is a water stain, but it is not dirty, and several neighbors with eyes will consciously take turns to mop the ground for her.

"Xiao Zhou, I'm ready to go to work!"

"Xiao Zhou, it's windy today, don't forget to bring a scarf when you go out."

"Xiao Zhou, the non-staple food store supplies sweet potatoes today, one pound of food stamps for three and a half catties, and one person is limited to twelve catties, if you don't have time to go after work, give me the non-staple food book, and I will buy it for you!"

……

Zhou Xiao'an has become the most popular neighbor in the whole building, and receives a lot of such care every morning.

And Xu Erni and her four children have completely become the public enemies of this building.

For no other reason, they actually tried to destroy Zhou Xiao'an's bathroom! Mao Dan and Mao Dan took a hammer and smashed a large piece of the cement pool, and if everyone hadn't stopped it in time, the pool and toilet would have to be dismantled.

Of course, such an act without public morality must be severely criticized, and Xu Erni, who was not convinced, quarreled with her neighbors, aroused public anger, and was attacked by everyone.

Living in this building together for more than ten years, Xu Erni and their children have done this kind of immoral thing that harms others and is not beneficial to themselves, but every time they provoke someone's family, at most, the women of the two families quarrel with each other, and the neighbors generally don't go over to say anything.

After all, it's none of their own business, and even if the neighbors feel that they are doing something wrong, they will not make enemies for themselves.

Everyone knows that several children like shrews and sideburns are provoked, and in the end it is their own family that is unlucky.

It's different about dismantling the bathroom, it's something that everyone wants to use, it affects everyone's interests, and no one can tolerate them anymore.

In everyone's hearts, Zhou Xiaoan's bathroom has become a public water room.

Zhou Xiaoan took the opportunity to ask Xu Erni to repair the pool for herself, of course Xu Erni disagreed, it was brick and cement, how dare she tell Zhao Changshun, she would definitely be beaten again.

Da Ming's mother was quick to talk, and went directly to knock on the door of Zhao's house, and called out Zhao Changshun, who had been hiding in the door and pretending not to know the situation.

Zhao Changshun didn't say a word, and raised his hand at Xu Erni to slap her twice, causing the corners of her mouth to bleed and her eyes instantly swollen into a slit.

Everyone was speechless by his ruthlessness, Zhao Changshun went to fight the troublesome Mao Dan and Cat Dan again, Mrs. Zhao pounced on it to stop it, and the family was in a mess, and no one could mention the matter of letting Zhao Changshun repair the pool.

In fact, this trick is often used by Zhao Changshun, as long as Xu Erni and the children at home get into trouble and need compensation or apologize, he will beat them severely, so that the neighbors who came to ask for explanations can't bear to pursue it anymore, so they can only consider themselves unlucky.

But this trick didn't work for Zhou Xiaoan.

Of course, she wouldn't go up and say anything when their house was in a mess, what if someone took advantage of the chaos to beat her?

Zhou Xiaoan went to the crane group during work hours, took a questionnaire and pretended to record a few strokes, and when he was about to leave, the workers were all there, and he came to Zhao Changshun.

"Comrade Zhao Changshun, your son demolished my family's pool with a hammer, when will you repair it? This morning, the neighbors talked to you about repairs, and you were busy beating your wife, and you didn't give me a letter. I've been busy lately, and I'll go back and open the door for you when you determine the time. ”

Zhao Changshun has a good face, often goes out to drink with the workers in the factory, and thinks that he has done a very thoughtful job on the scene. So every time Xu Erni quarrels with his neighbors, he won't come forward, and when he does, he beats his wife, showing that he is reasonable and does not protect his shortcomings, so that the neighbors have nothing to say.

Zhou Xiaoan saw his mentality, so he asked him when there were many people in the factory.

He wants to save face and take advantage, how can there be such a good thing?

He must have participated in the matter of occupying Teacher Fan's house, and he didn't know what he hated Zhou Xiao'an, and there was no possibility of easing relations between the two sides, so Zhou Xiaoan had nothing to worry about.

Everyone has made a move, why is she still polite to him?

Zhao Changshun's face turned red, but he couldn't refute Zhou Xiaoan, "I'll beat those two dead boys when I go back, ******!" And the losers......"

"Comrade Zhao Changshun, that's your family matter, you just go back and solve it behind closed doors. You better repair my pool first, after all, our neighbors in the whole building have to go to fetch water, and if it is broken, it will affect everyone's use, which is very inconvenient. ”

Zhao Changshun gritted his teeth and squeezed out a sentence from between his teeth: "As soon as possible!" Fix it for you as soon as possible! His face was flushed, and he turned around and left.

When he went home at night, Zhao Changshun took a thick wire with a gloomy face and tied up the piece that fell down from the sink, "When I find the cement, I will repair it for you, and I will deal with it like this for a few days." ”

It didn't help at all, but Zhou Xiaoan didn't plan to pursue it. What she wants is to let them know that she is not a bully, and don't have any bad ideas in the future. As for the broken sink, it's actually not bad.

Anyway, she didn't use it, and the more inconvenient the neighbors used it, the deeper their hatred for the Zhao family became. It was also good to remind the neighbors at that moment to squeeze out the Zhao family.

When dinner time came, most of the neighbors had finished receiving the water, and Zhou Xiaoan locked the door and prepared to go to Teacher Fan's house for dinner.

She partnered at Teacher Fan's house this month, handed over her food stamps and non-staple food stamps to Teacher Fan, and brought some scarce food to her wife from time to time, and the two of them ate it secretly, and their lives were very good.

"We don't have any water to wash the dishes at home!" Xu Erni hurriedly shouted at Zhou Xiao'an, who locked the door. Neighbors crowd out their homes and squeeze them until they can get water.

Zhou Xiaoanli locked the door on the ground and didn't look at Xu Erni, "You are not welcome in my family, don't come to fetch water in the future, and your whole family should not step into my house!" "Although it is said in vain, I still have to take a stand.

Teacher Fan is very worried about this situation, Zhao Changshun's family is still second, mainly because the bathroom has become a public water room, "This is not a way, it will definitely affect your life after a long time." I'm going to tell you guys, I don't agree with you doing this, and I want to blame them for coming at me! ”

Zhou Xiaoan shook his head, "Teacher Fan, don't worry, I have a way to solve it, wait for a while, and you can help me then." "Everything has to be done gradually, and she should endure it for a few more days before she makes a move.

Zhou Xiaoan said this absent-mindedly, she stared at the small corn tortilla in her hand while eating, and felt very familiar in her heart, but she forgot where she had seen it, as if there was something very important that she had ignored.

The tortillas are made by the wife, round and small, very delicate, only the size of Zhou Xiaoan's palm, and the current big one with a messy shape and a big handprint on it is completely different.

It's a bit like the kind of improved tortillas she used to eat at the farmhouse, and the kind that her grandmother made when she coaxed them to eat whole grains, as if she had eaten similar ones in some restaurant, but it didn't seem to be any, anyway, it was different from what was common in this era.

Zhou Xiaoan's doubts had not yet been solved, and he was immediately diverted by Pan Mingyuan's question.

After Pan Mingyuan taught her calligraphy and foreign languages that night, he asked her casually, "An An, have you ever thought about changing your life?" A completely different life from now. ”

The tone was very casual, and he didn't even look at Zhou Xiaoan, but Zhou Xiaoan knew that he asked this question very seriously, and even looked forward to her answer with a hint of nervousness. (To be continued.) )
