Crooked mouth Zhang Laoba fell into a crooked mouth because facial paralysis was not treated in time, and the mother-in-law was not easy to find, so she simply started a business of selling cattle and horses. There is a way in the cattle market, and the barbarians who steal cattle and horses in ten miles and eight towns all look for him afterwards, and he becomes a money launderer in the black market of cattle and horses. In recent years, the public security has been tightened, and the stolen livestock sold and stolen will be imprisoned, and the crooked mouth of Zhang Laoba will stop, and those who come to him to sell their livestock have been scolded by him. There is no market and there is no trading, and there is no killing without buying and selling, this wise saying has long been popular in the rivers and lakes of crooked mouths and old people. Cattle and horse thieves who eat closed doors are changed to steal chickens and dogs, and people who steal chickens and dogs generally do not call the police, and even if they call the police, the police do not have the time to solve the case with you.

Wang Xinghai found Zhang Laoba and said that he wanted to buy three chickens, two dogs and a sheep with him, Zhang Laoba had never dealt with Wang Xinghai before, and secondly, he thought that the number was too small, and he didn't make a profit, so he had to take risks, so he shirked and said, "You may have found the wrong person, I only sell cattle and horses, not what you said." ”

"I've heard that you don't sell cattle and horses all these years, and only do chicken and dog business." Wang Xinghai stared at Zhang Laoba, who showed two expressions due to the paralysis of the left side of his face, and said.

"Listen to the, I don't sell cows and horses, I eat balls! Lao Tzu is a serious businessman. Zhang Lao Bayuan said with his right eye open and grinning on the right half of his mouth.

"That's what I'm talking about, I'm talking about ......" Wang Xinghai said with a somewhat embarrassed smile, "I know that the starling is definitely a serious businessman, and the price is fair, so I just came here to ask the starling for help!" ”

"That's a good saying, but I don't have the things you want. But well...... Since you can find me, it means that you can trust me, and I will definitely not let you go back. You wait for me to ask your friends, and if you have anything, you can keep it. ”

"That's ...... price"

"The price is absolutely fair, this townsfolk will definitely let you half the price"

"That relationship is good, and after the matter is completed, your tooth (middleman) money will definitely be indispensable."

"This is natural, I gave you half of the price, and I would be reluctant to pay those two teeth?"

"When will I come and get it?"

"Tomorrow will do"

"I'll pay you a certain amount first!"

"The fixed money is paid according to the three layers of the price, three chickens, two dogs, and a sheep are now at a market price of about 1,800, charge you half of 900, you pay three hundred first! Come and get it tomorrow before it gets dark. ”

"Okay!" Wang Xinghai took out the pile of 100 yuan bills that were still warm from his underwear pocket, wiped his lips with his hand, counted three hundred and handed it to the crooked mouth Zhang Laoba.

Out of Zhang's eighth house, Wang Xinghai has been thinking about 3,000 yuan, if he can really save some money, he must get the tailor shop in the town to customize two suits, and when his son is engaged, he can also enjoy the scenery in front of his in-laws. I just don't know if I can save money on suits. "900 livestock money, 100 tooth money, 800 gentleman's money, this is 1200 left, two suits are at most 300 yuan, and the rest is kept and spent slowly. The son is out of business, and he found a rich girl in the city, and he will have money in the future, and the 3,000 thousand yuan borrowed from his second uncle will be okay to ask Xiaosi for 5,000 directly in the future. My mother-in-law is too strict, she usually doesn't leave me a penny, and she doesn't even have the money to drink two or two packs of grain roast when she rushes to the scene, which is too embarrassing. However, it is also a good thing to take this opportunity to hide some private money and treat yourself, it is really fame and fortune, and it is a double win! Ha ha...... Ha ha...... Wang Xinghai, it's a pity that you old boy don't go to be an official and wear a hat, this resourcefulness is about to catch up with the wisdom of the Three Kingdoms. Hey...... It seems that Zhiduoxing is from the Water Margin! Hey...... No, it seems to be from the Three Kingdoms, oops...... Fuck it! Whoever he loves, whoever he loves! Anyway, in the future, the money for drinking and eating soup pots will be available. Wang Xinghai secretly rejoiced in his heart.

At home, Wang En sat in the yard staring at the grinding stone in a daze, and saw the hen dragging the load-bearing butt staggering in the vegetable patch at the bottom of the yard to eat, Wang En thought that the hen must be pregnant; He subconsciously shifted his gaze, and saw ants shuttling under the grinding stone plate again, and a big-butted ant came into view again, thinking about the ant's pregnancy. He was disturbed by Shen Bing's surprise just now, and no matter how he relaxed himself, he couldn't escape the concept of "pregnant".

When Wang Xinghai came back, no one paid attention to anyone. Wang Xinghai poured the unfinished tea from the red clinker cup into the yard from the house, only to find Wang En standing under the tea tree in the yard. Wang En came back to his senses when he heard the sound of tea hitting the ground, and knew that it was his father who had returned.

Wang En stepped into the house, looked at Wang Xinghai, and stopped talking. Wang Xinghai is planning Wang En's lifelong events, a picture of old and heavy-minded. The matter of Shen Bing's pregnancy has been haunting Wang En, and he is not disdainful of explaining all this to his parents, no matter how this matter is explained, it will make him feel uneasy and blush. The words "dare to face the bleak life, shoulder morality with iron shoulders, and speak out" flashed through Wang En's mind, and he decided to confess to his parents. I just wanted to confess, but what I said was, "Dad, do you know where my mother is?" ”

"Haven't you two been home all the time? You ask me, how do I know? ”

"Did you go to Mr. Shao to see the eight characters? Have you seen the date of engagement? ”

"This has to be considered in the long run, and you have to ask your mother's permission."

"You ran out in a hurry in the morning, I thought you went to see Mr."

"I wanted to go and see my husband, but when I look back, my mother didn't go before she agreed. After I left, you asked your mom if she was, what was her attitude? ”

"My mother said, 'It's up to me, let me make my own decision', does this mean that she agrees?"

"When did your mother go out? Did you say where you went? ”

"I went out after breakfast and didn't come back. I didn't ask, she didn't say. ”

"Then we'll talk about it when she comes back."

"It's been a few days since this discussion came and went, and you don't care about my business?"

"My baby, we don't care who cares! Don't worry! ”

"It's all burning eyebrows, don't worry!"

"What fire burns eyebrows?" Wang Xinghai's face was full of suspicion.

"It's nothing, I just want to get things done sooner so I can work with peace of mind."

"Ask your mom again tonight."

"Huh! You went out for a long time, I thought you had seen Mr. ”

"I'm going to the field to release water, I keep your business in mind, that is, when your mother agrees, I'll go to Mr. Shao tomorrow to see the deadline, and we can rest assured if we do it early."

When Ni Fengxia came back from the field, it was already dark, and she squatted on the edge of the pool and brought back a basket of green peppers, eggplants, and tender melons from the field, preparing dishes for dinner at home. In the evening when there is no sunset, the smoke of the farmhouse is particularly lonely and cold. Rural life is this monotony that repeats itself, working at sunrise and resting at sunset, passed from one generation to the next. This monotonous and simple loneliness in the countryside is different from the hustle and bustle of the city and the loneliness behind the glamour, the former is a kind of natural sincerity and peace of mind, which can perceive peace in loneliness; The latter is a kind of forced laughter and pretentiousness that whitewashes the peace, and is vulnerable in solitude.
