Chapter 4: You might as well eat me
Xu Damao didn't plan to come to the rolling mill, but after drinking a bowl of egg soup from Silly Qiang, he always felt uncomfortable.
Knowing that this is the last week, if you can't hand over the supplies, Silly Qiang will have to get out of the material department.
Xu Damao thought about it several times, and felt that he couldn't lose his stupid job.
First, from childhood to adulthood, the old man favored himself a little more, taught himself the technique of playing movies, and when he divided the house, he also divided the big house.
Second, Silly Qiang has more than a dozen yuan of salary a month and has to borrow a dozen yuan from himself to live, if he loses his job, then he can't eat and drink all on his own?
Don't look at the old man's usual partiality with him, if he knew that he didn't care about his own brother, he would definitely break his leg.
was thinking about these things in his heart, Xu Damao suddenly heard someone calling his brother. When I looked up, it was my younger brother.
Seeing that he was smiling so brightly, and with a look of enthusiasm, Xu Damao turned around and left.
What the hell, whoever you love cares, Lao Tzu doesn't care, he just gave this Wang BaD ten yuan this morning, and he actually found it again?
When Xu Qiang saw that his eldest brother had run away, he suddenly became anxious and shouted: "Brother, brother, don't run!" ”
While shouting, he also hurriedly ran after Xu Damao.
Xu Damao saw that he was chasing after him stupidly, and immediately ran away with his life. He really has no money this month, and the New Year will be celebrated next month.
This leader wants to give gifts, that leader wants to move around, there is money inside and out!
"Brother, brother, what are you running?" Xu Qiang was panting after chasing, and while chasing, he was still thinking in his heart:
"No, this physique is too bad, and I have to practice more when spring begins."
"Plop", I saw Xu Damao carelessly, stepped on a piece of frozen porcelain-solid ice, and suddenly fell into a big fart squat.
"Oops!" Xu Damao screamed miserably, feeling that the tail vertebrae were broken.
It hurts so much!
Xu Qiang finally caught up, slowed down and came to Xu Damao's side and pulled him up: "I said brother, what are you running?" I can't eat people! ”
When Xu Damao heard this, his face darkened: "You might as well eat me." ”
A black line flashed on Xu Qiang's forehead: "Brother, although we are brothers, it is easy for people to misunderstand when you say this!" ”
"What is the misunderstanding?" Xu Damao stood up and glared at Xu Qiang angrily:
"I can tell you, I have no money, it's the New Year next month, and you know that I have to walk up and down."
Xu Qiang's eyes rolled, and a good idea suddenly appeared in his mind:
"Brother, do you want the Big Apple? Oranges are fine, cigarettes, alcohol, meat, anyway, if you can name it, I can get it for you. ”
Xu Damao rubbed his tail vertebrae, grinning in pain, hearing Xu Qiang say this, he stared at him with a puzzled expression:
"Hadron, are you serious?"
Xu Qiang immediately nodded like garlic: "Of course it's true, brother, don't you still believe me?" ”
Xu Damao looked at Xu Qiang and sneered: "I believe you are a ghost!" ”
Xu Qiang: "......"
"So tell me what you want? Shall I get you some first, and then give you money when I see something? ”
There's no way, it's really the original owner's life is too different.
Xu Damao saw that his younger brother's face was straight, and he didn't have the slightest intention of laughing, so he said casually:
"Our section chief's daughter-in-law, there is a relative from Guangxi, who gave her a box of small oranges last year, it seems to be called October oranges, if you can get it for me, I will believe you!"
"October oranges?"
Xu Qiang repeated with some doubts, why hadn't he heard of such an orange?
Over there in Guangxi, in October?
"Brother, you can't be talking about sugar oranges, right?"
He remembered that it was introduced to Guangxi in the 50s, but now the production is not good, and the transportation is not so convenient. So, not many people know about it, and even fewer can eat it.
"I don't know, anyway, I remember that it seems to be October oranges, one is the size of a child's fist, and one is small, about the same as a big walnut."
Xu Qiang immediately nodded: "Okay, I know, how much do you want?" ”
Xu Damao saw that Silly Qiang said a serious thing, as if he could really get it, and thought about it seriously and said:
"Five catties, if you can get five catties, I'll give you ten yuan."
Nowadays, fruits are no more expensive than five cents a pound, but the main problem is that they can't get it, as long as there are things, a lot of people are willing to spend a lot of money to buy them.
"Okay, I see." Xu Qiang nodded: "Are you still in trouble?" Let's go back together, I won't fire at noon, and I'll make do at your house! ”
Xu Damao glanced at him, knowing that he had nothing rice and noodles at home, and he couldn't open the pot when he was poor.
"Okay, let's go back then!"
Although it was morning and the sun was out, the cold wind was swishing into the necks of people, and the two brothers shrank like two sugar triangles, and walked home step by step.
Entering the courtyard, the snow in the front yard has been swept away, I don't know who is idle, there is a big snowman piled up in the corner, although there is no carrot nose, but it is not ugly.
In the yard, several children were skating and playing with big shovels, one child ran with the shovel handle, one child sat on the shovel, and the other accidentally overturned.
All of them were frozen red, and they could still see chilblains on their hands, but they still had fun.
Xu Qiang couldn't help but look at it twice, and he didn't feel anything about the chilblains now. When spring begins next year, the weather is warm, and the itching kills!
Don't ask him how he knows, he just froze when he was a child, and when he itched in the spring, he wanted to chop off his toes.
"Let's go, what are you looking at?"
Xu Damao glanced at Xu Qiang a little strangely, and he didn't know what to look like for a few children to play.
Xu Qiang nodded, and when he passed by the Moon Gate, he grabbed a handful of snow and formed a small snowball.
The stick terrier was skating with Xiaodang and Huaihua, and within two months of Huaihua's birth, Jia Dongxu died of a work-related injury.
In addition, Jia Zhang's family is originally patriarchal, and Huaihua is small, so she has to worry about things at home if she can't help her, so she has always disliked Huaihua.
Children who are only one year old are placed in the yard to play in the cold weather, and they are not afraid of freezing.
"Terrier!" Xu Qiang shouted with a smile.
"Huh? Who called me? ”
The stick terrier, who was running with his sister, immediately turned his head to look when he heard someone call him. As a result, a snowball smashed directly into his face.
"Ah......h
The stick terrier screamed, immediately dropped the shovel handle, covered his nose and screamed.
"Does it hurt?" Xu Qiang approached the stick terrier and asked again with a smile.
The stick terrier covered his nose and stared at Xu Qiang, if he hadn't been able to beat him, he would have done it a long time ago.
"When I was lost by you in the morning, it hurt so much!"
Jia Zhangshi was sitting in front of the glass window to collect the soles of his shoes, and when he heard his eldest grandson screaming, he immediately put down the soles and went out.
As soon as he saw the stick terrier covering his nose and glaring at Xu Qiang, he immediately scolded: "Xu Qiang, you little brute, you actually bullied our family......"
As a result, as soon as she was halfway through scolding, she found that Xu Qiang didn't pay attention to herself at all and walked straight to the backyard.
