Zhou Zhi and group leader Lu Xingchuan walked towards the house chatting and laughing, and they didn't know how many people were envious of the people watching outside the courtyard. I secretly thought that Zhou Zhi Boy was really good, and he had such a relationship with the group leader, and he would talk to Zhou Zhi Boy in the future, but he should pay attention.

Wang Qi, the head of the group, was left out in the courtyard at this time, he saw the group leader and Zhou Zhi enter the house, he didn't leave now, he didn't stay, and he felt extremely embarrassed. Moreover, Wang Qi also felt in a trance that the eyes of the onlookers outside the courtyard were very different from before, full of contempt and pity.

Especially after Zhang Hu'er next to him spit on him fiercely, he walked away, which made him even more restless and embarrassed.

Zhou He finally came to his senses at this time, and couldn't help but let out a long breath, and his complexion softened. Secretly, my Zhou family has met a nobleman, and the group leader is a nobleman.

Turning his head to look at Zhou Luyun, he said, "Xiaoyun, you are still stunned, go and boil water to serve the group elders, our Zhou family must thank the group elders well." ”

Seeing that his mother was fine, Zhou Luyun nodded busily, "Well, I'll go boil water." ”

After that, he let go of his mother-in-law Zhou He, and trotted into the house to boil water.

The family was really poor, and there was almost no decent chair, so Zhou Zhi led Lu Xingchuan into his bedroom and let Lu Xingchuan sit on the edge of the kang.

"Brother Xingchuan, wait a minute, I'll go and boil water for you to drink." Zhou Zhi and Yan said with a smile.

"Huh! No need, come, Brother Zhou, sit here, I have a few words to say to you for my brother. Lu Xingchuan smiled awkwardly, pulled Zhou Zhi to sit beside him and said, "Speaking of which, I am very ashamed to be my brother, I met my brother at Qiu Langzhong's house that day, and it was my brother who saved my father's life, and I should be grateful for my brother's life."

But that day, he left in a hurry for his brother, and he didn't even ask his brother's name. I didn't expect that today because of Wang Qi's lies and deceived me, I actually came to my brother's house with him to find trouble, which made my brother feel even more guilty! ”

As the leader of the group, he can talk about this to a poor child like Zhou Zhi, which has to move Zhou Zhi's heart. Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Hehe! Brother Lu, isn't this the decision for the younger brother? Little brother is grateful! Speaking of which, Wang Qi is indeed too deceitful, last time my family's official horse was extremely strong, and he deliberately made things difficult and extorted property.

Today, he humiliated his mother and younger brother again, which made it unbearable for the younger brother, so he beat him. ”

"Wang Qi should be a good lesson, by the way, I saw your little brother in the courtyard just now, has his illness been cured in the past few days?" Lu Xingchuan looked worried and asked softly.

As soon as his words fell, Zhou Shaocheng entered the bedroom with his hands on his stomach, with a look of pain on his face.

"Little brother, does your stomach hurt again?" Zhou Zhi immediately stood up and asked urgently.

Zhou Shaocheng said with a bitter face, "It hurt a lot just now, and now ...... It doesn't hurt too much now! ”

Zhou Zhi's brows furrowed slightly, and the little brother's fever was significantly reduced, but he always shouted that he had a stomachache, what was the reason for this, could there be other diseases.

Thinking like this, I can't help but feel a little worried on my face.

Lu Xingchuan also frowned slightly, and said, "Junior brother, isn't this illness that Qiu Langzhong hasn't seen through?" Brother Zhou Zhi, why don't you go to the town to find a good student in Langzhong. ”

Zhou Zhi nodded lightly, if the little brother always complains of stomach pain, then he must find a good doctor for diagnosis and treatment. At this time, Zhou Shaocheng let go of the little hand covering his stomach and said, "It doesn't hurt, now it doesn't hurt at all, my brother doesn't have to bother looking for Langzhong for me anymore." ”

After speaking, Zhou Shaocheng stiffened his stomach with a lot of trouble, and his small appearance was very cute. Zhou Shaocheng suddenly glanced at Lu Xingchuan with his little head tilted, pouted and said, "Elder of the group, those group leaders are so hateful, they have come to my house several times, and they have to extort five eggs every time, hum!" ”

Eggs have always been the treasure of a poor farmer like the Zhou family, and Zhou Shaocheng has been sick these days, so his mother is willing to let Zhou Shaocheng eat a few. Usually, although Zhou Shaocheng is very greedy when he looks at eggs, he can't eat them. The child took those eggs as a big deal, and said it at this time.

It's not just the younger brother Zhou Shaocheng, but even Zhou Zhi takes those eggs very seriously. After all, the poor Zhou family was counting on selling eggs for some oil and salt to survive.

I had already had the intention to teach Wang Qi a good lesson, so that he would vomit back all the things that blackmailed the Zhou family, and finally had a chance at this time.

Zhou Zhi pouted at Zhou Shaocheng Nunu, the little brother was really smart, blinked his eyes a few times, and immediately changed his words, "No, yes...... It's 20 eggs to extort each time, so it's ...... There are sixty eggs. ”

Zhou Shaocheng has just turned six years old, he has never been educated, and he doesn't know a word, but he can count it quickly, which is really strange. Zhou Zhi secretly thought, is this talent? The younger brother is naturally sensitive to numbers, so why did he never notice it before.

As the group leader, Lu Xingchuan is actually very clear about the actions of his subordinate group leaders. The leaders of the group often blackmailed the poor peasant families who raised the official horses on their behalf, and they were all three or five eggs or one or two liters of rice and noodles. He also knew that these things were insignificant, but they were important to poor farmers. But in the end, it can still be accepted by those poor peasant families, and he will no longer control too much.

I heard Zhou Shaocheng say five eggs at a time just now, but Zhou Zhi just glanced at him, and immediately changed it to twenty. Where would Lu Xingchuan not understand Zhou Zhi's thoughts. He didn't break it, he secretly laughed in his heart, and then shouted loudly outside the house, "Wang Qi, come in!" ”

The people watching from the periphery of the Zhou family courtyard had dispersed at this time, leaving Wang Qi alone to stand alone in the courtyard. The group leader was still talking in the house, but he had the heart to leave but didn't dare, for fear that the group leader would call him again, so he obediently stood in the courtyard and waited for the group leader to come out.

The group leader shouted, Wang Qi didn't dare to slack off, trotted into the house, bowed his head and asked with a flattering face, "What is the matter with the group leader calling the villain?" ”

Lu Xingchuan's face was slightly gloomy, and he said, "Just now I learned that you took a total of sixty eggs from the Zhou family three times, and you have to return these sixty eggs immediately." In addition, you also see that the Zhou family is poor, and my little brother is sick again, so you go home and get another hen that doesn't lay eggs, so that my little brother can give birth to a good life. ”

"Sixty? …… This ......" Wang Qi touched the little hat on his head with a sad face, peeked at Lu Xingchuan, but didn't dare to say any more, smiled awkwardly at Zhou Zhi, turned around and hurriedly went home to get something.

Zhou He and Zhou Luyun were busy in the stove house for a while, then boiled the water, Zhou He came in with a water bowl, bowed slightly to Lu Xingchuan, and said softly, "Elder of the group, please drink water!" ”

Lu Xingchuan hurriedly took the bowl over, immediately stood up, and said uneasily, "There is Aunt Lao." ”

Speaking of Lu Xingchuan, who is nearly forty years old, and Zhou He is just thirty-five years old, at this time, he called Zhou He his aunt because of Zhou Zhi, which made Zhou Zhi feel a little uncomfortable. But seeing that Lu Xingchuan looked sincere and didn't care at all, Zhou Zhi was inconvenient to say anything.

After Zhou He left the house, Lu Xingchuan picked up the water bowl, drank a sip of hot water, looked around the house a few times, and suddenly caught a glimpse of the stack of books on the kang head, Lu Xingchuan couldn't help but look surprised.

A poor boy reading a book seems a bit strange to anyone.

Lu Xingchuan immediately asked, "Brother Zhou Zhi, could it be that you also study?" ”

"Well, in my spare time, I read some books and just look at them, hehe!" Zhou Zhi smiled indifferently.

Lu Xingchuan nodded lightly and said, "You and I are really destined, speaking of brothers, we can be regarded as scholars!" Merely...... Alas......"
