Back to the courtyard, walked to the house, put down the things Yang Xiaotao began to make a fire to cook.

In order not to attract attention to the corn stalks planted last time, Yang Xiaotao stored in the space together with the corn cob and foreskin.

Now it's just the right time to use it to light the fire and clear the storage space.

Yang Xiaotao sat in front of the stove, heating while burning the fire, and by the way, he pulled over a book, looking bored.

Before I knew it, by the time lunch was ready, snow had fallen from the sky.

Yang Xiaotao glanced at it, then opened the door, took out two basins from the pot, and walked towards Uncle Chen's house.

On a snowy day, drink some wine and get some sleep, which is the most comfortable.

Aunt Chen saw Yang Xiaotao coming over, and hurriedly called up.

Perhaps, the saying that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors is more true in the eyes of the two families.

Yang Xiaotao came to this world, and in this courtyard, Uncle Chen and his family are the people who move around the most.

The same is true for the old couple, although the son often writes to him, he has been with Yang Xiaotao for a long time, and he has also developed emotions.

Yang Xiaotao put the basin on the table, and Wangcai outside the door had already come in.

This guy knew that he was eating again at Uncle Chen's house, and he didn't shy away from it at all, so he lay under the bed and waited to eat.

A pot of braised fish and a pot of pork and stir-fried cabbage were all made by Yang Xiaotao last night.

Now, Yang Xiaotao's cooking has surpassed Aunt Chen's, and the old couple also sighed that the environment can really hone a person.

The two of them drank wine on the table, and the snowflakes outside became bigger and bigger, and after a while, it became goose feather snow, and a white blanket was spread on the ground.

There was silence in the courtyard, and everyone hid in their homes, waiting for the snow to stop.

In the backyard, bangs are also holding wine glasses, and there is half a bottle of wine on the table in front of him, a plate of scrambled eggs, and a plate of fried peanuts.

Both sons were driven into the back room by him, and they were upset when they looked at them.

The second aunt sat in front of the stove, boiling water and knitting a towel at the same time.

bang

"The little brute hasn't come back yet?"

Bangs smacked the wine glass, and the table slammed.

The second aunt glanced up at him, then lowered her head and continued to weave towels.

"Talking to you, deaf?"

Seeing that no one paid attention to him, his bangs were even more angry, and he shouted at the second aunt.

"Can't you see if you can't come back?"

"It's been three days, and no one is there, what should I do if I have something to do outside on this cold day?"

The second aunt said angrily, really worried about Liu Guangqi.

Since he was a child, Liu Guangqi stayed at home for one night and never saw anyone again.

The second aunt feels sorry for the child, although the bangs are powerful, but she still raises this eldest son as a son.

Hearing the second aunt's run, Liu Haizhong still wanted to get angry, but thinking that Liu Guangtian hadn't come back for so long, he was also worried in his heart.

Especially when it was snowing heavily, it was really going to freeze, but it was distressing.

Hula

Liu Haizhong stood up and walked into the house to look at Liu Guangtian and the two brothers.

Both of them were swaying, and there was some fear on their faces.

"Get out of the way."

Unexpectedly, Liu Haizhong just drove the two to the side, then picked up the coat and hat on the hanger, put it on and walked out.

"What are you doing? It's so cold outside? ”

"What? Hum. I'm going to get this little bunny back. ”

"See if I don't skin him."

said with an atmosphere in his bangs, and raised his feet to go out.

The second aunt opened her mouth and didn't say anything, just put some firewood in the stove.

When I looked back, the scrambled eggs and peanuts left on the table were gone, and I sighed in my heart.

Liu Haizhong walked through two alleys in the snow, and Liu Guangqi went to several homes where he walked closely on weekdays, but there was no news at all.

The more I walked, the more irritable I became, and the more fruitless I was, the more anxious I was.

In the evening, I searched all the places I could go, but I found nothing.

Ignoring the snow on his body, he walked back to the courtyard with a blue face.

When she returned home, the second aunt knew that she definitely hadn't found it when she looked at her bangs, and she was even more worried.

In the bangs, there is a look of anger, and at the same time, anger is mixed with fear.

For the first time, he felt that Liu Guangqi was out of control, which made him feel a sense of frustration.

And this frustration also made him suspicious of Liu Guangqi's education methods.

When I returned to the house, I looked at Liu Guangtian and Liu Guangfu, the two of them were lying on the bed fine, and a light flashed in their eyes.

At night, the snowflakes in the sky began to decrease, and the ground was white, and the passing wind blew away a layer of snow chips, revealing frozen snow.

The snow that was below the ankles made the entire Sijiu City heavier and made the Sijiu City even colder.

In the courtyard, every household is adding coal to the stove, and the red stove emits heat.

"It's another cold winter this year!"

The three mothers sighed, Yan Jiecheng on the side was restless, last year he handed over seven cents and five cents for buying coal, if he came again this year, how many cents could he leave behind?

Yan Jiecheng lowered his head, he can't find the iron job bowl now, he can't look down on it in general, and he is still a temporary worker until now.

I also wanted to enter the rolling mill in my heart, but the first uncle kept perfunctory him, and the second uncle didn't speak well, so his thoughts didn't move.

"I'm going to buy some coal tomorrow, it's time to go on the ice, prepare more, don't freeze."

Yan Fugui covered his padded jacket, looked at the ice on the window, and said sullenly.

The next morning, the snow stopped and the sky cleared.

Every family in the courtyard came out to clear the snow, and the courtyard was full of busy people with sweeping posts, and some children were running around in the snow, and after a while, they were called home by the roar of the family to welcome a loving education.

Yang Xiaotao got up and washed his face, and then remembered that today was the day when the exchange bar was updated.

The last time he upgraded, Yang Xiaotao deliberately controlled the update time of the exchange column, saving most of the night from updating and missing some strange things.

Opening the exchange bar, Yang Xiaotao glanced at it and smiled somewhat.

Tofu, chicken fillet, chicken rice, quail eggs, beer.

"It's out of tofu."

Yang Xiaotao's tofu appearance, one credit and five directions, full of joy.

Now it has not yet reached the time when the streets and alleys sell tofu in the streets and alleys, and if you want to eat tofu, in addition to going to the supply and marketing cooperatives to buy it, you have to grind soybeans yourself, and then order tofu with brine.

"Exchange more points, and then a few will be divided."

Yang Xiaotao thought about it, exchanged one side first, and looked at the tofu on the plate that was still steaming, Yang Xiaotao directly broke a piece and put it in his mouth.

"Well, seawater tofu. and a taste of the previous life. ”

Breakfast is shallots mixed with tofu poured with some soy sauce, plus two wowotou, and a boiled egg.

After eating, I went out and walked around the alley.

At the mouth of the alley, a group of people cleaned up the snow, talking and laughing.

Yang Xiaotao waited for a while, then found a place where no one was there to take out a bag of tofu, and returned to the courtyard with it.

"Yo, Xiao Tao is buying tofu, not old or young."

After sweeping the door, the three masters in the front yard were talking to people according to the door, and when they saw Yang Xiaotao coming, they hurriedly greeted him.

"Oh, the three masters."

Yang Xiaotao agreed, raised his legs and walked inside.

The third master opened his mouth, and saw a bag of tofu slipping past his eyes and not falling a little, and his heart felt uncomfortable.

So much tofu, can one person eat it?

As soon as Yang Xiaotao walked on the front foot, three young people walked in on the back foot.

"Hello, uncle."

"We are from the briquette factory, may I ask if this is where Liu Guangqi lives?"

A slightly mature-looking young man asked.

The third master listened and looked at it, from the briquette factory? What are you doing here?

When he heard that he was looking for Liu Guangqi, he nodded and responded.

"Yes, Liu Guangqi's house is in the backyard."

The three of them looked at each other and walked towards the courtyard.

When the third master saw it, he hurriedly followed.

In the middle courtyard, Yang Xiaotao took out the three-party tofu from his pocket and sent it to Uncle Chen's house, and the old couple was also curious, this time they went out to buy so much tofu.

Yang Xiaotao just explained that he happened to meet him at the mouth of the alley, and he bought the rest for a few extra dollars.

The two old mouths don't doubt him, now it's the New Year, and many countrymen go to the city to buy something to change things, and it's normal to encounter them.

The street office also turns a blind eye and does not deliberately care.

Of course, if you catch it, you will definitely have to confiscate it.

Yang Xiaotao put down the tofu, the three chatted for a while, and Aunt Chen said that she wanted to wrap radish and tofu buns, and asked Yang Xiaotao to come over and eat them.

Yang Xiaotao agreed, and then saw three strangers walking towards the backyard, followed by the three masters.

The people in the courtyard were also curious, so some people followed and looked at each other.

In the backyard, bangs were moving in the house, the second aunt was preparing lunch, and Liu Guangtian and his brothers were staying in the house, they didn't dare to hit the old man's gun.

"Hello, is Liu Guangqi at home?"

Someone shouted outside the house, and when Liu Haizhong heard it, he opened the door and looked.

The second aunt behind her also hurriedly looked over, and heard that someone was looking for her son, and she didn't work anymore.

"Hello comrade, I'm going to Liu Guangqi's father. Do you have something to do with him? ”

The bangs straightened his stomach and took out the posture of being an official.

Seeing this, the three of them were really shocked by this situation, and they forgot the original rhetoric, and they were a little flustered for a while.

In the end, it was the leader who calmed down and spoke.

"Hello, we are from the briquette factory, and Liu Guangqi is a colleague."

As soon as these words came out, the second aunt immediately asked, "Do you know where Guangqi went?" ”

The three of them looked at each other.

"We don't know, but Liu Guangqi came to us three days ago and borrowed some money from us. Said it would be returned to us in two days. ”

"Yes, and said that if you don't return it in two days, we'll come to you."

One of them said and took out the IOU he had written, and reached out and handed it to Liu Haizhong.

When Liu Haizhong heard that Liu Guangqi had borrowed money, he suddenly felt bad, and after taking the IOU, he looked at it twice, and it was suddenly dark in front of him.

"Evil beast, evil animal."

The bangs trembled with anger, and the three IOUs added up to a hundred yuan.

No wonder these three people came to ask for money for the New Year, the amount is too big, and they don't feel at ease after a long time.

"By the way, Liu Guangqi still has a note left, saying that it will be for you together."

The leader took out a piece of paper from his pocket as he spoke, and the second aunt hurriedly took it over and let the bangs take a look.

With just one glance, the bangs fainted backwards.

The three masters who came with him hurriedly stepped forward to support him, and glanced at the note by the way.

The above words came into view, and a voice sounded in my head.

Liu Guangqi, ran away.
