Chapter Twenty-Six: The Thunderbolt!
At noon, Wang Lanfeng came back with a bag of millet on the back seat of his bicycle.
In addition to the grain bag in the back seat, Wang Lanfeng also had two fish hanging on the bar of his bicycle.
Today is the day when civil servants across the country pay salaries, and there are more people around the townships and counties, and you can see stalls selling vegetables and snacks and gadgets on the road from time to time.
Fortunately, the public security is not bad, there will be more or less some things at this time of the year in previous years, some people died a few days ago, and the public security is unprecedentedly good.
Waiting for death at home is death, and coming out to find death is also death, so let's continue to wait for death at home.
Wang Lanfeng was in a very good mood, and there was no delay on the road, planning to transport the things home first, and then go to eat and drink.
When he returned to the gate of Wangjiabao, the two janitors took the initiative to help Wang Lanfeng move things into the building.
Handed over the millet and fish to others to help, the bicycle must be carried by himself, Wang Lanfeng carries the bicycle up and down the third floor every day.
When you enter the door, you must wipe the car!
It doesn't matter if my wife takes a bath or not, the bicycle has to be wiped three or five times a day.
His father-in-law really sent the right thing.
As soon as he entered the house, Wang Lanfeng said happily: "The grain is back, this year's spring salary is not bad, and I have sent 100 yuan." ”
Every year, the salary is less than it seems, and there are reasons for it anyway.
Zhang Zhu was sitting on the edge of the stove cleaning up the two leg of mutton in the basin, and when he heard it, he got up and wiped his hands, "I'm back, will I go out later?" ”
The helpers had already left, Wang Lanfeng put the grain bag aside, and after stopping the car, he looked for the basin and guy to wash the car from the wound.
"Go out, I want to change the tire, now this one is a little old, I have made up six or seven times, I have to buy a new one for the pump, and I want to change the saddle to a new one, this leather is not as bright as before, and it doesn't look energetic."
Wang Lanfeng has a lot of money to spend, and he plans to wipe the car and ride out to buy things.
As for carrying a bicycle up and down the third floor, he didn't feel tired.
Zhang Zhu was a little reluctant, but Wang Lanfeng spent money on this, it was better than spending money on a woman in the alley, at least it was cleaner, and her body would not be broken.
And this bike is really a card, every time I go out in the back seat, there are more cards than in the carriage.
Zhang Zhu said: "Brother Ling went to the official's house today and got a lot of things, including oil, salt, sauce and vinegar noodles, there are so many things, his house is almost full. ”
Wang Lanfeng went out to fetch water with a wooden bucket, and said indifferently: "More is more, I won't eat lunch at night, and I'll eat it when I come back in the evening." ”
There is no running water in this place, so everyone goes to the well to fetch water.
There are drains, because there is no luxury to the point where plastic bags are flying all over the sky, and there is not much kitchen waste, so there is no problem with the processing capacity
There are two wells in Wangjiabao, and there is already a shortage of water, mainly for cooking and washing.
Usually wash clothes or go to the riverside, Xu Baifeng and these women have already used perfume and soap, but ordinary laundry is mainly to add some soap horns.
Toothpaste is still a luxury, and ordinary children can only rinse their mouths.
The water of the Heishui River comes from the county seat, and the county town and the state city are all on the west side.
People go to higher places, the water flows eastward, and occasionally some clothes or corpses can be seen floating down.
The drinking water in the city is mainly groundwater, which is basically eaten raw, and firewood is required for heating.
There are thermos flasks made of glass in large families, and there are also people who specialize in boiling hot water, and ordinary people will not boil water when they want to drink water, but drink cold water directly.
Zhang Zhu continued to clean up the mutton, in addition to the leg of mutton there were lamb ribs, she took a knife to shave the mutton, ready to chop it to make mutton buns.
Mutton bones can be used to make mutton bone soup, Zhang Zhu's family is not poor, but they can't eat mutton a few times a year.
After more than forty minutes, Wang Lanfeng came back with a bucket of water.
Zhang Zhu saw Wang Lanfeng start to wipe the car, and his mouth couldn't be idle.
"There's not much water in the bucket for cooking, I can't lift it alone, I can't always trouble other people's houses, you can go out when the bucket is full."
Wang Lanfeng quickly said: "Come back, I'm afraid the car shop will be closed." ”
It's okay to work, but I have things in my heart right now and don't want to do it now.
Zhang Zhu said again: "Brother Ling brought back a lot of things, as well as mutton, you come back early, and make soup for you in the evening to replenish your body." ”
Wang Lanfeng answered, took the cloth and continued to wipe the car.
Zhang Zhu said: "I'll make some mutton buns and spring rolls today and put them there, and I will get up early tomorrow and send them to Brother Ling when they are steamed." ”
"Okay, make more deliveries." Wang Lanfeng felt that it was nothing, it was originally something that Wang Lanling brought back.
Zhang Zhu put the mutton in the basin, walked over and wiped his hands, looked at the money bag that Wang Lanfeng put on the bed, and began to count.
Wang Lanfeng kept twenty yuan for himself, and Zhang Zhu counted eighty yuan.
"There's so much money, it's not a way to put it in our hands, should we let this money out?"
Zhang Zhu's father often does this kind of thing to let money out, and there is a lot of interest that can be collected every year, so after having more money in his hand, he also wants to do this.
After Wang Lanfeng heard it, he thought about it and said, "Forget it, there is not much money." ”
This money is not a month's money, it is a year's money.
Zhang Zhu said again: "Why don't we buy some land too, I heard that there are people in the door who are trying to make money." ”
In the feudal era, the annexation of land was a very common and normal thing, and it itself represented the value of wealth in this era, so the accumulation of wealth in the hands of a few people is an objective law from ancient times to the present.
Wang Lanfeng felt that it was okay, so he agreed.
***
As soon as the next day dawned, Wang Lanfeng rode a much shiny bicycle to the gate of the courtyard, and Zhang Zhu, who was carrying a basket, got off the car.
Wang Lanfeng didn't delay much and went directly to work in the township.
As soon as Zhang Zhu approached the courtyard gate, he heard the dogs inside barking excitedly, and the dogs couldn't stop barking.
"Shut up the official!"
When Zhang Zhu was panicking, he heard a familiar voice, and the dogs stopped barking.
The gate was soon opened, and it was Wang Lanling who opened the door.
"Sister-in-law, why did you come so early, go into the house and sit, it's cold outside."
Wang Lanling beckoned Zhang Zhu to sit in the office, Zhang Zhu nodded, and walked in.
After entering the house, Zhang Zhu put the basket covered with a blanket on the table, "This is the mutton bun and mutton spring rolls I just made, and there is still some bone broth at home, you can take some time to go back and drink a bowl in the past two days, otherwise it will be spoiled." ”
Wang Lanling washed his hands, and said while intervening: "If you can't finish eating, you can divide it, I have freshly cooked mutton soup here, sister-in-law, you can also have a bowl." ”
Wang Lanling walked out of the door, stood at the door and shouted to the courtyard downstairs: "Old Tao, come up with two bowls of mutton soup." ”
"Wait a minute, sir! Coming soon! The old man quickly agreed.
Lao Tao is also a kung fu person!
Although he has stopped fighting and killing for many years, his martial arts have not fallen, and a pair of palms have entered the realm of mountains and rivers.
He is a pioneer and is now an ordinary pastry chef, making noodles and salty buns very well.
