21. Prejudice
Yan Zhiguo and his entourage are frequent visitors to the town, gambling and drinking to go to the restaurant, and they have to come to the town every three or five times to spend.
Yan Zhi has a diligent father and wife in the country, who have the most spare money in their hands, and walk in front of the group with the pace that the six relatives do not recognize, with their arms still on the waist of a little girl, and their shoulders shrugged, so not majestic.
Seeing Su Ji for the first time, Yan Zhiguo's face changed, and he subconsciously let go of the hand on the girl's waist.
"Brother, why don't you leave?" The few young men who followed behind Yan Zhiguo looked at Su Ji and were a little puzzled.
Yan Zhiguo put his hand in his trouser pocket, his eyes were sharp, he approached Su Qi, and said ruthlessly: "If you dare to spread this matter, I will make you unable to stay in Xiahe Village." ”
There are many people in the town, and Yan Zhiguo's affairs will be discovered by others one day. With Yan Zhiguo's attitude, as long as this matter spreads, it will be Su Qi's reason.
Su Qi raised his eyebrows and smiled: "It's so majestic, I don't know how many days I can live in the bureau if I mess with the relationship between men and women?" ”
People who are used to being thieves are most afraid of entering the game, and Su Ji's threat successfully made Yan Zhiguo's face change.
"There is a kind", with a blue face, Yan Shoucheng waved his fist at Su Qi, turned around and left with a group of junior brothers.
Grassroots followed the group at the end, passing by Su Qi, his eyes glanced at the things she was carrying in his hand, and smiled with a ruffian: "After buying so many things, Yan Shoucheng gave you a lot of money, can you lift it?" I'll send you home? ”
Su Ji felt a chill behind him, took a step back, and dodged: "No." ”
The grassroots was not angry: "Then you should be careful on the road." ”
Passing by, Su Qi watched the group walk away, looking at the direction in which the back left, it should be going to the big hotel in the town.
didn't want to have too much intersection with them and cause any more trouble, Su Ji dispelled the idea of going to dinner and hurried to the station.

"Xiao Su, this is going to town, just came back?"
As soon as he walked to the door of the patriarch's house, Su Qi saw Grandma Qi, and saw Su Qi holding a big bag and a small bag, and Grandma Qi asked with a smile.
"Well, I bought some food and drink."
Grandma Qi glanced at it, and saw that she was suspicious, and asked tentatively: "What kind of big things are you going to do at home, and you have so many things." ”
Su Qi wanted to circle the courtyard wall, but he couldn't get around the patriarch's family, since Grandma Qi asked, Su Qi didn't hide it: "You also know that the courtyard wall of my old house has almost collapsed." In the past two years, the environment on the mountain has improved, and wolves and badgers have also begun to haunt. I live alone at the foot of that mountain, and it is inevitably a little dangerous. Now that the autumn harvest is over, everyone is idle, and I want to take advantage of this time to find a few people to help repair the courtyard wall. ”
Grandma Qi: "Also, you are a girl, and it is not safe to live in it." Are you ready to find a few here? ”
Su Qi smiled suddenly, scratched the back of his head, and said with some embarrassment: "My father-in-law said before that Uncle Jinchuan is an expert in this area, and people within a radius of several miles are looking for him. I was going to come to your house tomorrow and ask about the situation. ”
Grandma Qi didn't say a word, and invited Su Qi into the door: "It's all at the door, don't think about tomorrow, it just so happens that he is at home today, just ask directly, and save a trip." ”
Afraid that Su Ji would not agree, Grandma Qi went up directly and took her hand: "You haven't eaten yet, I have done more today, just enough for you." ”
Holding Su Qi with one hand and helping to carry things with the other, Grandma Qi also comforted Su Qi in her mouth: "Before Shoucheng left, he also came to our house for a trip, saying that you were home alone and helped take care of it." If you have something to do in the future, just come to us and don't feel embarrassed. ”
From rebirth to the present, the patriarch and his wife are the people who give Su Qi the most warmth, Su Qi followed into the door, looked at the white-haired Grandma Qi, her nose was a little sour, she wanted to say something thanks, but she was afraid that it would be too hypocritical, and finally only whispered: "Thank you, Grandma Qi." ”
Knowing Su Qi's intention, the patriarch didn't say a word, and shouted contentedly and called Yan Jinchuan to his house.
"This is Shoucheng's daughter-in-law, she wants to find you for something."
It was the first time Su Ji had dealt with Yan Jinchuan head-on.
Unlike the patriarch who often smiled, Yan Jinchuan's face was very serious, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, and there was an oppressive momentum.
Su Qi sat up straight and said, "Uncle, I want to repair the courtyard wall at home, I don't know if you have time to help." ”
When Su Ji looked at Yan Jinchuan, Yan Jinchuan also took a closer look at Su Ji.
Yan Jinchuan's daughter-in-law is also a know-it-all in the village, and she has heard from others about big and small things, Su Ji has been a topic that people in the village can talk about for a long time, and Yan Jinchuan's daughter-in-law naturally did not fall behind. When I go back, I can't help but talk to Yan Jinchuan.
Yan Jinchuan looked at this girl who didn't seem to have any bad intentions, and she had done so many annoying things, and couldn't help but feel prejudiced: "Before the autumn harvest, someone in the village decided to let me build a house for them." We always have to come first and come first. ”
Su Qi was slightly disappointed, but he still stubbornly asked: "Then when can you line up, I can wait for you to be free." ”
Yan Jinchuan shook his head: "There are not a few days left before the beginning of winter, as soon as winter comes, it is inconvenient to do anything in the cold and freezing, and we have begun to stop working in this business, and the few jobs we have taken this year will almost be busy until then." It's hard for me to say what time it is. ”
Su Ji was deflated: "Is there anyone else in the village who can help except you?" ”
Yan Jinchuan: "Basically, they will do this kind of work, and they will follow me out to work when the time comes, and other people may not be able to help." ”
The continuous refusal made Su Qi deflated, and his face was a little lost.
Grandma Qi entered the house with two bowls of noodles and said helpfully: "It's not a big deal to circle a courtyard wall, it's not easy for her to be a girl at home, just help if you can." ”
Yan Jinchuan shook his head firmly: "This matter is really indispensable, and this circle of courtyard walls is not a trivial matter, making adobe and laying the foundation have to be done little by little, if I agree to come down now, there will be no time at that time, isn't it ugly on both sides?" ”
Su Qi saw that Grandma Qi still had to help him speak, and hurriedly took the first step to speak: "Uncle is reasonable, it's not a matter of urgency on my side, it's no problem to wait for two more days, and when Uncle Jinchuan is free, I can do things with you." ”
Yan Jinchuan saw that Su Qi was so sensible, and he didn't stay long, so he made sure that there was nothing else, and turned his head and left the main room.
At noon, Su Ji finished the meal as happily as possible, and left an egg and candy for the patriarch's family before leaving.
On the way home, Su Qi's right eye jumped, and he always felt that something was going to happen.
