Chapter 42: Caught

Li Ying was startled by the knock on the door, and after being stunned for half a second, she hurriedly stopped crying and staggered to get up - only to find that her feet were numb.

"Ah Xuan! Ah Xuan! Go open the door! Maybe your sister is back! ”

Unexpectedly, Gu Xuan couldn't stand her crying anymore and quietly hid in the room.

Li Ying was anxious and shouted: "Little tiger,!" The surname is Chen! Don't go open the door yet! Where are you hiding and lazy?! ”

Chen Xingling came out of the kitchen and glared at her coldly.

Li Ying immediately stopped talking.

Chen Xingling saw that she finally knew how to restrain herself, so she didn't speak, and walked out quickly to open the door.

I thought it was Gu Qi and the two brothers who were back, but unexpectedly, it was a young man who was a little familiar!

The man was dressed in the military-colored coat that most young men loved, but it was very bohemian, with a loose neckline and a row of large buttons that were not buttoned from top to bottom, revealing a colorful sweater inside.

He leaned lazily against the wall, one hand banging the door, the cigarette in his mouth crooked, one leg standing diagonally, the other shaking wantonly.

Chen Xingling looked at the flow of qi that he couldn't hide, and quickly recognized him as the most famous second-rate son on Front Street - Chen Nantai!

Chen Nantai squinted at her, pinched the cigarette at the corner of his mouth with his hand, skimmed his face and spat on it.

"Sister-in-law Gu Qi, right? I'm Atay who lives on Front Street, you should recognize it, right? ”

"Hmm." Chen Xingling nodded lightly.

In the original book, this Chen Nantai is just an inconspicuous small character, but his life is quite "bizarre", and his future is closely related to the Gu family. In other words, the future should be regarded as a family.

Chen Nantai smiled, revealing a mouthful of ugly black teeth that he had smoked all year round.

"I'm a well-known snake in the neighborhood! Who doesn't know me Chen Erliuzi in the streets and alleys? I can pat my chest and say - there is no one in the whole Shangjing City who doesn't know me! ”

Chen Xingling showed a polite smile and asked, "Is there something wrong with you?" ”

During the Chinese New Year, every household is busy pasting Spring Festival couplets and hanging lanterns, happily preparing new clothes and hats, shouting to knead dough and make dumplings, which is very lively inside and out.

The Gu family and Chen Nantai's family were a little far away, and they didn't seem to have had any intersection, so they couldn't figure out what the other party was doing when they suddenly came to the door at this time.

Chen Nantai let out an "oh", and flicked the cigarette ash with his index finger.

"Your little chubby girl Gu Miao was arrested, do you know?"

Chen Xingling raised his eyebrows.

Chen Nantai smiled, his chin turned forward.

"Today, the black market in the west of the city was cleared early in the morning! I haven't had such a big show for many years, and there are twenty or thirty people! There are a lot of people, and there are many people who are arrested, and your little chubby girl is pulled together. ”

"Where?" Chen Xingling frowned and asked, "Where did you go specifically?" ”

Chen Nantai replied: "Not on the side of the Administration for Industry and Commerce, but in the traffic brigade in the west of the city." The Authority was full of people, and they couldn't squeeze in at all, so some of them moved to the traffic brigade. ”

Speaking of this, he sneered and explained: "Today, I arrested fifty or sixty people in one go, and the scale is called a big one!" Now a large number of people are looking for someone from the Authority, and there is a terrible quarrel inside and out. I saw that your fat girl went over there, so I came over and told you. ”

Chen Xingling's eyes flashed slightly, he dug into his pocket, took out a purple five-cent and handed it to him.

"Thanks to you for informing me, my lover and brother-in-law have gone looking for her, and they don't know her specific situation yet, but now they know. Thank you for your hard work. You can buy a pack of cigarettes with this little money, don't be too little. ”

Chen Nantai smiled and narrowed his eyes, quickly took it and stuffed it into his pocket.

"Sister-in-law, then you're welcome. After all, we are all from Shangjing, and we don't live far away, so we are neighbors, so we should take care of each other, right? That- you know the fine, don't you? ”

Chen Xingling had already known, but still pretended not to know and shook his head.

"Do you need to turn it off? It's a big New Year, it's not good to close people again, right? ”

Chen Nantai frowned and shook his head: "This time it's serious!" It's said that the price is too high, especially the expensive pork - the eyes can't see it! The leader above was very angry, saying that he had to take the opportunity to rectify and rectify, otherwise it would be against the sky! It is said that not only people will be imprisoned, but also fined, and it is the kind of heavy punishment! ”

Chen Xingling took the opportunity to ask: "How much is the penalty?" How long is it closed? ”

"Your chubby chick isn't the kind of black market business that does business all year round." Chen Nantai explained: "So she can't be offended, it seems that she only needs to be fined, because what she sells is pork." Actually, she still had to be closed, but there were too many people arrested this time, and she didn't know where to close. It's a big New Year, and you have to find someone to take care of these people, which is also troublesome. So, your family should just be fined. ”

Chen Xingling breathed a sigh of relief and chuckled: "That's good." Thank you, when my lover comes back, I will immediately ask him to pay the fine. ”

"Fifty!" Seeing that she was relaxed, Chen Nantai couldn't help but gesture with his big palm: "The amount is not small!" However, your family Gu Qi heard that he makes a lot of money, and his monthly salary is high, so it shouldn't be a problem. ”

Chen Xingling was noncommittal, lowered his eyes and was about to close the door-

"Sister-in-law! Wait a minute! Chen Nantai stopped the door, smiled hehe, and lowered his voice: "Do you have pork for sale at home?" Isn't it? ”

"It's gone." Chen Xingling replied ambiguously: "After the pig is killed, half of it is sold and half given to the neighbors, and only a big pig's head remains." My sister-in-law wants to take the pig's head to the black market to exchange for snacks, so she will have this unfortunate thing. ”

Chen Nantai: "Oh? He didn't continue to ask, and finally chose to believe.

"Your little chubby girl is greedy, and no one in the neighborhood doesn't know about it! Pig's head for snack! She's pretty good at eating! I thought there was a surplus of pork, so I got a few catties and sold it to me - my family is still waiting for pork to make cabbage dumplings! ”

Chen Xingling shook his head.

Chen Nantai pulled his coat, smiled angrily, and raised his chin.

"Sister-in-law, then I'll go. In the future, if you want to ask someone about something, or find someone to do something, just come to me. There's nothing I can't do in the capital like this, the kind that I can't do with Erliuzi, the kind that can pack tickets! ”

"Okay." Chen Xingling pretended to be enthusiastic and waved his hand: "I won't send it if I go slowly." ”

Then, she quickly closed the door.

When Li Ying heard that Gu Miao had really been arrested, she howled and cried again.

"Oh! Why is it so unlucky! Poured eight lifetimes of blood mold! Isn't that all there is to it? I didn't make a dollar before and after! But he will fine us fifty dollars all at once! Fifty dollars! ”

Gu Xuan looked at her crying with disgust, and said in a deep voice: "Don't cry, what's the use of crying." If you can cry a few times, howl a few more, and people will put the little sister back, then you will cry enough and howl enough. ”

Li Ying exhaled: "Yesterday's pork didn't sell much at all!" There's a lot of money to spend on the Chinese New Year! Don't I feel sorry for your sister and money?! Can I stop crying?! ”

Gu Xuan was extremely indifferent and whispered: "Whatever you want." ”

Chen Xingling couldn't help but look at the door, secretly worried that the two Gu Qi brothers had found too many wrong places, otherwise they wouldn't come back at noon.
