Chapter 185: Dinner
"Our brothers earned clean money with their strength, don't you want to appreciate your face when you drink a bottle of Coke?"
Xiao Cheng smiled slightly, "It's not that I don't appreciate my face, it's just that I eat people with short mouths and short hands, and I look like I'm going to have dinner, if I drink this water, how can I be embarrassed to eat big fish and meat for a while, and watch you eat steamed buns and pickles?"
Huang Ziming gritted his teeth when he was squeezed, and said hatefully: "Our brothers will have to earn the food they will eat in the future! This bottle of water is to thank you for helping us find our senior brother! Although our brothers have no culture, they always know some good things, if you can afford us, just drink it!"
When Huang Ziming said this, Xiao Chengcai picked up the Coke again, poured half a bottle into it, burped it out, and closed his eyes comfortably. "Oh, this breath is more than a piece, and a bag of sand is carried in vain!"
On the upper floor of Huang Ziming was Dong Dazhen, this guy couldn't listen to it anymore, and leaned on the handrail of the stairs and said, "Brother Ming, why is this kid talking so hateful? Can I beat him up after working for a while?"
Huang Ziming didn't speak, Xiao Cheng picked up the stubble on the first floor, "It's really dangerous to be with your brothers, I'm kind enough to help, I don't have a penny, and you want to beat me?"
On the second floor, Huang Ziming glanced at his brother angrily and muttered, "After working for a while, do you still have the strength to beat him?"
Lu Songyan, who was helping to pack the bags outside, looked at the bottle of Coke in his hand, shook his head and smiled bitterly, these children have a total of 20 yuan on them, and they don't forget to buy a bottle for themselves! Lao Lu wanted to reach out to work several times, but was stopped by Xiao Cheng.
"Uncle Lu, this is their experience, but it's also your experience!" Xiao Cheng blocked.
"Me?"
"Yes, you will be the foreman of the contract in the future, you can work by yourself, but more importantly, you can command the brothers, these boys will be under your command during this vacation, you can't give them a penny, the income is yours, they settle with me!"
When Xiao Cheng said this, Lu Songyan couldn't stretch out his hand, "What about you, what are you doing with this rough work?"
"I need to go through it too. ”
......
The last half of the sand was finally transported, Xiao Cheng looked down at the beads of sweat that fell on the ground, and his heart was happy.
This is your own kung fu!
Looking at the five little brothers who are also sweating like rain, they are not as eye-catching as the first time they met at the station before, and even the "thief appearance" of the thief's eyebrows and rat eyes is much lighter.
More than 30 bags of sand, and all the work was done. Lu Songyan went upstairs to get money from his employer, while the little brothers gasped downstairs. Xiao Cheng took out another 35 yuan from his pocket and stuffed it into Huang Ziming's hand.
"Take it!"
Three pieces of ten yuan, one piece of five dollars, if it was placed in the past, no one would take a second look at this little change, if you touch a wallet, you have to scold the street after stealing. But now, the 35 yuan in my hand feels heavy.
The little brother didn't know why, and his nose was a little sour.
This is the clean money I earned by my own ability! Thirty-five yuan in a dignified manner!
"Let's go!"
......
After saying hello to Uncle Lu, the six of them walked back together, and when they passed by the steamed bun room, Xiao Cheng specially pointed it out to them. The five little brothers were right, and handed over five yuan, "Ten steamed buns!"
I spent five yuan at the roadside shop to buy five packs of mustard, and the little brother gnawed on it while walking, a mouthful of steamed bread, a mouthful of mustard, and I don't know if I was hungry or what, and the dry steamed buns were also gnawed on the fragrance.
..................
With an endorsement fee of 2 million, Wen Xiaocheng's grandmother will no longer sell sugar gourds. Xiaocheng wants to go out early and return late, so the old lady concentrates on logistics support at home. Every night when I go home, I have to cook four dishes. Things at home are about to see the light up, and the civil compensation that was once pressed on the body is now satisfactorily resolved, and the days have hope, the old lady seems to be several years younger, and during the day she feeds chickens and buys vegetables, and she is looking at what to eat for her grandson to replenish her brain.
There are more dogs than people in Laojing Village, and most of the people left behind are also old, weak, sick and disabled, and young people have gone to the city to work, so the rent of this piece of bungalow is very cheap, and no one cares about two or three hundred yuan a month.
I don't need to lie with my grandmother, it's just a few thieves, who just let out and have nowhere to go, just to do me a favor. The old lady is kind-hearted, her son is a murderer, so there is no discrimination against those who have been released from prison, renting a house is not a matter at all, and the neighbor Aunt Zhang left a key before, and it was done as soon as she called to say it.
The house had to be put back together, and the old lady went over and cleaned it briefly, swept the floor, and left the windows open for ventilation. The tables, chairs and benches in the room are quite complete, but if you really want to live, you still have to prepare pots and pans, and covers.
......
The steamed buns are dry, the mustard is salty, the little brother is carrying sand for the first time, he is as tired as a dog, and the two steamed buns go down, his throat is smoking, and he doesn't feel full. Follow Xiaocheng all the way to Laojing Village, low bungalows, potholed dirt roads, the sun goes to the west, and the light shines obliquely, so that the old village is plated with a layer of kind golden light, somehow, it makes people feel like they are going home.
The door of the small courtyard of Xiaocheng's house was open, and the aroma of stir-fried vegetables came from the house. Following Xiaocheng, the five little brothers entered the yard and looked around, the sun was good today, the yard was still drying clothes, and several old hens were locked in cages, not letting them run all over the yard. In the house, the grandmother who heard the sound came out when she heard the voice, and was stunned when she saw the defeated remnants at the door.
It turned out to be a young child, nothing was prepared, and the two of them came with a head on their shoulders, but they were very polite, and after Xiaocheng introduced, they saluted one after another, "Hello grandma." After that, I lined up to go to the faucet to pour cold water.
"Milk, this is the stinky boy I was talking about, Huang Ziming, Wang Siyuan, Dong Dazhen, Liu Zhenwei, and Summer. Xiao Cheng introduced them one by one, and finally didn't forget to add: "These boys are all people who kick their noses and faces, you don't need to give them a good face, you can just hurt me!"
The old lady looked at the five children one by one, Huang Ziming looked steady, after all, he was the oldest, and he was also the head of the five. Dong Dazhen is strong, Liu Zhenwei is honest, just like the little fat man called Summer, when he laughs, his eyes are gone.
Xiao Cheng ignored them, and went to the stove first to lift the lid of the pot, "Yo, sweet and sour pork ribs! Not bad," and looked at the big spoon next to him, fried meat with garlic sprouts, fried saury on the table, and old vinegar sting, "This dinner is rich enough!"
Grandma beckoned a few children to sit down, and called Xiaocheng: "Hurry up and put down the table, I'll go get chopsticks, are you hungry?"
As soon as the lid of the pot was lifted, the room was full of the fragrance of pork ribs, and the little brother who watched it swallowed and foamed, just now the two steamed buns were not full, and now they were hooked by the aroma of this meal, and they were hungry again.
"Grandma, don't worry about them, they've all eaten, I'll take them next door first, and we'll just eat when we come back later." ”
The old lady looked at the five little brothers in disbelief, Huang Ziming gritted his teeth, "Grandma, you're welcome, we've eaten!"
