When he went back, Li Laosan was very happy, humming an unknown tune in his mouth, and when he met someone he knew along the way, whether he was familiar with it or not, he just stepped forward to say hello, even if he had a hot face and a cold ass, he was still happy.

"Yo, I haven't seen you for a long time, have you eaten, what, do you want to take it and drink two cups? Not today, another day, I'll invite you another day, haha. ”

"Zhao Laohei, what kind of black face is you having for the New Year, did you go to gamble again, I really let me say, how can you live this way, hurry up and find a job that can fill your stomach after the New Year."

"Hey, Wang Si, why did you run away when you saw me turn around, I didn't look for you to collect the debt......"

When he turned around, he saw that Cheng Nuo was still carrying some things, and hurriedly trotted over to help him take them.

"Sir, look at me, you are a guest at my house, how can you let you have a big bag, how inappropriate it is to say it, come on, let me come."

Cheng Nuo didn't have many things, and the heavy ones were all in Li Laosan's, so he didn't want to say: "Lao Li, you can't straighten your waist when you are pressed, and I don't lack arms and legs, so I can let you take it." ”

After all, Li Laosan is doing hard work, and the strength in his hands is naturally not comparable to Cheng Nuo, a young man, so he pulled things over after dividing five by two, tied two pieces of cloth on his back, put the wrapped rock sugar gourd in his arms, carried vegetables and meat in both hands, walked in front and grinned: "Sir, you see that you pay and I will contribute, and you can buy and sell reasonably, so don't fight, and you can't compete with me." ”

Cheng Nuo was very helpless, pointed at him and said angrily: "Okay, you old Li, you wait for me." ”

With a sly smile on his face, Li Laosan didn't answer this question, but looked at the sky: "Hey, it's going to be dark just now, and now it's so bright, the days are getting more and more hopeful." ”

Taking advantage of this afterglow, Cheng Nuo and his entourage rushed to Li Laosan's residence before dark, in front of a shantytown.

Since Shunzhi entered Beijing, Beiping City has been implementing the policy of Manchu and Han living in separate cities, with Manchus living in the inner city and Han people living in the outer city.

Li Laosan's family is Han, and their ancestors have no money or power, so they can only build a few houses in the outer city.

As for the well-known miscellaneous courtyards in later generations, it is not something that the people at the bottom can live in at the moment, and most of the homeowners choose to rent the whole house, until the Lugou Bridge Incident, everyone's life can not go on, so they rent out the courtyard one by one.

When he came to the door, Li Laosan smiled at Cheng Nuo, coughed and straightened his bent waist, and shouted while walking towards the yard: "Dog Dan'er, Daddy is back." ”

Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Laosan entered the hospital with his front foot, he shouted loudly with his back foot: "Dog, you don't do good things, what are you doing with your sister Nidaner, you wait, see if I don't pick your skin." ”

Cheng Nuo, who was following behind, hurried over to see what was going on, it turned out that a half-old child was playing with a group of little guys playing with the ice on the eaves, the ground was full of ice cubes, and there were already children who picked up the clean ones and put them in their mouths to suck.

Seeing that an adult saw it, he immediately scattered as a beast, and shouted with righteousness in his mouth: "Dog, run, your father has seen you and is going to come over to beat you." ”

Goudan'er also saw his father, threw the stick in his hand, and was about to run, but after all, he still couldn't outrun the adult.

Li Laosan stuffed all the things in his hand to Cheng Nuo: "Sir, you help me hold it first, this rabbit cub doesn't take his sister to work for three days, and he doesn't take his sister to do good things, I can't bear it anymore." ”

"Lao Li has something to say, don't beat the child." Cheng Nuo, who was holding something, also wanted to persuade two sentences: "Your subordinates are neither light nor heavy, what if you break the child?" ”

Lao Li didn't answer, with a black face, he grabbed the dog in two steps, and the wooden stick that was thrown away by the little guy was picked up easily, and he was about to greet him on the buttocks.

At this time, a woman rushed from inside, holding a little girl with tears in her eyes, Nidan'er, who seemed to be afraid that her brother would be beaten, and called her mother over.

When the woman saw this scene, she slapped her thighs with both hands and wanted to snatch the wooden stick down: "Son, what are you doing here, beating the child during the New Year, doesn't it make you see a joke when you say it?" ”

The dog is also a thief, and before the wooden stick was beaten, he cried and shouted, and howled so badly: "Mother, I was wrong, don't let my father beat me, my ass is going to be broken." ”

How could Li Laosan not know this little trick, and he hit his ass twice: "Little rabbit cub, isn't it against the sky?" ”

It's okay now, fake crying turns into real crying.

The woman saw that this was not a solution, and when she looked around, she happened to see Cheng Nuo on the side, and hurriedly said, "Daddy, this is ...... Is this the gentleman you are talking about? ”

Li Laosan was still angry, but when he heard that his wife had already greeted the guests, he naturally couldn't continue the filial piety of his father and son, so he twitched his ass again before relieving his hatred: "Next time you take your sister to do dangerous things, it's not like you're wearing clothes!" ”

When Goudan'er saw his father gone, he immediately stood up to stop his tears, stuck out his tongue at Li Laosan's back, and saw that his sister was worried about him and quickly made a grimace, which made her laugh.

The woman glanced back at the scene and glared at him to warn him.

When the dog saw it, he quickly put on an aggrieved expression, covered his buttocks and limped, if others didn't know, he really thought it was broken.

But in fact, the wooden stick was not as thick as a little finger, the cotton pants were worn thickly in winter, and there were guests next to him, Li Laosan didn't exert much strength at all, so the strength transmitted to his ass had been unloaded.

The reason why he did it directly, in addition to being related to the custom of strict fathers and talented children in this era, Li Laosan also considered that Cheng Nuo could not leave a bad impression on the child, which meant that if the child made a mistake in the future, you should beat and scold, and the parents would not say anything.

Cheng Nuo naturally didn't know about the small theater here, but said politely: "Sister-in-law, I finally saw you, thank you for making me a fried triangle, it's better than what is sold on the street, you are the blessing of Brother Li." ”

The woman's face was red by this praise, and she didn't know where to put her hand, rubbing her scarf and glancing at Li Laosan, she said angrily: "His blessing is the bad luck of my life, Mr. hurry in, I will make it for you every day after I want to eat fried triangles." ”

Li Laosan was scolded by this, and wanted to open his mouth to refute it, but he bumped into his wife's gaze, but he didn't dare to say it, so he turned his back and hummed quietly: "Hmph, blessing, what kind of blessing, I am angry every day!" ”

"Daddy, what are you humming there? When I can't hear it! ”

"Where...... What's the matter, I mean it's the blessing of my old Li family, and the fortune tellers back then said that I married a good mother-in-law. Li Laosan sneered, flashed the cloth behind his back, and took out the rock sugar gourd in his arms: "Don't pretend to be a rabbit cub, hurry up and roll over Thank you, sir, this is the rock sugar gourd bought for the two of you." ”

"Okay, rock sugar gourd, hehe." Seeing that there was something to eat, the dog immediately stopped pretending, and ran over with a hippie smile: "Thank you, dad, thank you, sir." ”

Nidan'er, who was hiding behind the woman, stared at her big watery eyes and said timidly, "Thank you, sir." ”

As soon as the dog got the rock sugar gourd, it disappeared like a wild horse that had taken off the leash, and there was a noise of children in the distance.

"Come on, come on, I'll take the first bite, and you will eat the rest."

"Second child, who let you bite so big, how can other people eat, I won't take you to play like this anymore."

"Fourth, don't worry, take your saliva, it's going to be you soon......"

Li Laosan retracted his gaze and said with pride on his face: "This rabbit cub, I don't know who I learned from." ”

"Who did you learn from? Didn't I learn it from you? The woman glanced at Li Laosan and said unceremoniously: "It was carved out of a mold with his father!" ”
