Yang Guangzhi looked at him, thought about it, and finally shook his head: "It's okay, let's go to bed early." ”

After speaking, he took a hard puff of the last bit of cigarette butt in his hand, threw it on the ground and stepped on it, and went directly to the back room.

Seeing the back of him leaving, Yang Xiaole felt strange for a while.

But Dad refused to say it, and after thinking about it, it seemed that there was nothing big about it recently, and in the end he didn't care about it.

Back in the room, the eldest brother and Kiko were already asleep.

Washing his feet and face went straight into the bed.

Seeing that there were three men sleeping in this small bed, Yang Xiaole pondered that he must get a kang in a few days, and if not, it would be good to get a spacious big bed!

I touched Kiko with my cold hand.

Feeling the cold, Kiko moved to the side.

After a few times, he felt that the place was a lot more spacious, and he lay down there and slept satisfied.

In his sleep, Yang Xiaogang felt too crowded, and kicked Xizi aside in a daze.

Poor Kiko was awakened and looked at the two of them angrily.

looked at the eldest brother and didn't dare to touch him.

Look at the second child who just slept next to him.

looked back and forth at the two of them, forget it, neither of them could be provoked, and finally pouted and lay on the bed again.

……

The next morning, before dawn, he got up as planned.

The old lady has already gotten up and is boiling porridge.

When he saw him get up, he explained: "You get up so early every day, remember to have breakfast, I know you have money and tickets in your hand." Bring two eggs. ”

When he spoke, he pointed to a bamboo dustpan

Yang Xiaole took a look, this is for steamed buns, and there are eight eggs on it.

At first glance, it was the two of them, and the others were one.

Then he nodded: "Yes, got it." ”

After saying that, he took two eggs, said hello and left.

Not long after leaving the compound, I met Qu Ying, and I saw that he went to buy vegetables early in the morning, not only him, but many people got up and went to the vegetable market to grab vegetables.

When it's late, I can only buy mustard to eat.

Or simply forfeit the day's ration.

"Hey! What a coincidence! Take me! ”

Qu Ying saw him stop the car, so he said with a smile.

Yang Xiaole naturally didn't care.

motioned for him to get on the bus, and then rode in the direction of the vegetable market.

While walking, Yang Xiaole said jokingly: "You said that you are a big girl's family, and you are not afraid of danger when you walk alone before dawn?" Aren't there a lot of people in the compound going out to buy groceries? Come with them! ”

Qu Ying's expression darkened when she heard this.

Then he took a deep breath and smiled indifferently: "It's okay, I'm used to it alone, if anyone is not afraid of getting sick, he will come." ”

Yang Xiaole also sighed when he heard this.

That's how many rolls of eyes you usually suffer to say such things!

To know what age it is.

I thought about it for a while and didn't know how to comfort it, so I laughed and made a joke; "Then you're not afraid of me, be careful that I drag you into the alley, I'm not afraid, I'm sick too, and the two of us happen to be together."

Qu Ying behind her sneered when she heard this.

patted him on the back: "Don't think I don't know how old you are, a little brat, and your hair hasn't grown yet!" ”

Yang Xiaole was unconvinced for a while.

Lao Tzu is now a dragon.

But he won't say this, jokes are jokes, and there are some things that can't be said.

Then he rode away.

Qu Ying behind him was smiling there.

I don't know why, usually those well-dressed decent gentlemen look at themselves one by one, like a hungry wolf.

I looked at it and felt disgusting in my heart.

But Yang Xiaole didn't know why.

usually speaks without a horse, a donkey, or a margin, and looks at himself with a look of lust.

But there was not much resistance in her heart.

Well, it must be that he is too young to take it seriously.

It wasn't far from all, and the bike arrived quickly.

came to the door, put the other party down, and said: "Next time you don't come to the vegetable market, many people in the compound are looking for my father to buy vegetables, and when I go back, I will say it, or you give me the book, and I can bring it to you." ”

Qu Ying hesitated for a moment, and finally shook her head: "Forget it." I'll do it myself. ”

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole was no longer reluctant.

As for the reason, he might be able to guess some.

Then I said hello and rode away.

……

Humming a little song to the place, the old man was already waiting there.

"Master! I'm coming. ”

Seeing him, Yang Xiaole said hello with a smile, parked the bicycle and walked over.

The old man bowed his head lightly and looked him up and down for a moment.

Finally, he said: "Today I will teach you another set of kung fu, splitting and hanging palms, and when you go back in the future, you will also practice diligently." ”

When Yang Xiaole heard this, his eyes lit up, "Hey, Master, have you taught me new kung fu again?" Isn't it amazing? ”

Although you can't chew it if you are greedy, you can't stress your skills a lot!

Anyway, there will be time in the future, so you can practice slowly.

Seeing his expression, Suo Ye looked disgusted.

Said lightly: "To practice Bajiquan, you must be assisted in splitting and hanging palms, combining rigidity and softness, and reaching the Quartet." Therefore, there is a saying that "the eight poles are split and hanged, and the gods and ghosts are afraid". ”

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole was happy for a while.

Sounds like a name.

No matter, let's talk about it after practicing.

"Okay, you see first, if you can keep up, practice, if you can't keep up, take your time."

When the old man finished speaking, he had to teach him.

Just as they were about to move, the two of them looked at the moon gate at the same time, because there was a knock on the door.

Both of them were strange for a while.

It's not dawn yet!

How did anyone come here?

Yang Xiaole's first reaction was the person who was following him, and now there was a showdown.

"Okay, go open the door, it should be Shaoting."

In his thoughts, the old man said lightly.

Yang Xiaole was stunned for a moment, why did Zhang Shaoting come here so late?

You must know that his current identity is a security guard of someone, and he usually does not leave him.

He didn't say anything, though.

Straight past.

Before he opened the door, he already knew that it was really Zhang Shaoting.

When the door opened, I saw that the other party was wearing a cotton coat, not the previous general's coat, and he was wearing a dogskin hat.

"Lao Jiu! Master woke up, right? ”

Zhang Shaoting saw him and said hello with a smile.

Yang Xiaole smiled when he saw this, "Brother Zhang! I thought it was! Come in, Master is inside! ”

He is still a little strange about the title of Lao Jiu.

The old man didn't want to introduce!

Then the door was closed, and the two came to the courtyard.

Entering the courtyard, Zhang Shaoting looked at Suo Ye who was standing there, and greeted him with a smile: "Master! ”

The old man put his hands behind his back and bowed his head slightly: "What's wrong?" ”

Hearing this, Zhang Shaoting looked at Yang Xiaole, pondered for a while, and finally said directly: "Master, what you helped me get last time, get me some more." ”

When the old man heard this, he also glanced at Yang Xiaole.

Seeing the eyes of the two, he thought that there was something inappropriate for him to listen to!

Then he said with a smile: "Master, you talk, I'll pour a glass of water to drink, I'm thirsty." ”

After that, it's time to leave.

"Stinky boy, come back to me, pretend to be confused, right?"

Seeing that he was leaving, Suo Ye stopped him.

Yang Xiaole was strange for a while: "No, the two of you are playing dumb riddles there, how do I know what you are talking about?" ”

The old man has a wide range of ways and can get a lot of things.

Someone is looking for him, and it's his own apprentice looking for him, isn't it normal!

I didn't want him to know, and he didn't bother to listen.

But after thinking about it for a while, I reacted, it has something to do with myself, get something?

Then he smiled and said, "Master, what do you mean, the meat and lard you got last time were for Brother Zhang?" ”

Suo Ye bowed his head slightly, and then changed his name: "What Brother Zhang, called Eighth Senior Brother." ”

After listening to this, Yang Xiaole made a joke: "Master, Brother Zhang is your old closed disciple, this door is closed, am I still the ninth?" Brother Zhang is a closed disciple, am I a gatekeeper disciple? ”

Hearing this, Suo Ye glared at him and ignored him.

Instead, he looked at Zhang Shaoting: "Xiaole is not an outsider, you will talk to him yourself in the future, but there is one point, if anything happens, even if you buy it from the black market, don't implicate him." ”

Zhang Shaoting was surprised.

I didn't expect it to be my little junior brother who got it for him.

It's not surprising, though.

finally nodded and looked at him: "Lao Jiu, do Senior Brother this favor and get some meat." Is it done? ”

Yang Xiaole also smiled indifferently: "Then it must be done, the master has said it, can it be done?" But...... I have a question! I know your compound, you got meat, aren't you afraid of accidents? ”

You have to know who lives in it.

There are also military generals who lead troops to fight wars, and there are also civilian positions that do such work as political commissars.

Zhang Shaoting laughed when he heard this: "Don't worry, nothing will happen." ”

Hearing him say this, Yang Xiaole didn't care, as long as nothing happened, and it had already happened once before, and he could come out to get it this time, which means that he was acquiesced.

But he's not going to get too much.

Then he said: "That, senior brother, I can't get too much, unless I go to the black market to collect it for you, I can only get ......"

At this point, he made a gesture.

I really haven't decided how much to give.

Just when he saw that two hundred was changed to one hundred, Zhang Shaoting said happily: "Twenty is enough, enough is enough." ”

However, seeing Yang Xiaole's fingers curled up into "1", he changed his words again: "Okay, ten catties is fine." ”

Seeing his expression, Yang Xiaole glanced at Suo Ye.

Seeing that he drooped his eyelids and didn't speak, he didn't dismantle himself, and finally turned around and nodded: "Cheng, then twenty pounds, when do you have time in the afternoon, you come to Suo Ye to get it, don't be picky about what kind of meat, get what you get, of course, I will definitely get it better for you." ”

There was no mention of money.

"Hey, good!"

Zhang Shaoting smiled and agreed: "Then senior brother, thank you!" ”

"Hey, you're welcome."

Yang Xiaole smiled indifferently.

Can't get meat now?

Not to mention now, even in the most difficult time of the past three years, there is food and meat on the black market, as long as you have money, you can buy it if you are in a hurry.

It's just a matter of price.

Now the ordinary food stamps are more than one pound and the face stamps are two cents, and at that time the food stamps are three yuan and one catty, and the face stamps are seven yuan and one catty.

As long as you have money, you can still buy some.

People like Zhang Shaoting and Wang Jianjun, why is it so difficult to have money to eat meat.

It's because of their identity, their special identity, that they can't go to the black market to buy things.

Once something happens to Zhang Shaoting, he will definitely be released, but it will bring some trouble to his chief.

Wang Jianjun is the same.

I can't go, and I don't dare to go.

"Okay, then it's decided! Master, then I'll go back first. ”

Zhang Shaoting was polite, said hello and left.

As for the matter of money, he didn't say, can they be short of money?

After the others left, Suo Ye didn't say anything and continued to teach him new kung fu.

"Stop, don't run!"

While practicing, Yang Xiaole heard a slamming sound on the door, as well as a serious scolding voice.

At the same time, there is the messy sound of running.

Hearing this movement, Yang Xiaole was about to go and see what was going on.

"Don't go, the people who beat the handle are arresting people!"

In the middle of his thoughts, Suo Ye stopped him.

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole understood that there was a black market not far away, and this was a arrest and ran here.

At this time, he was also glad that he didn't let Yang Qingwen and the others come here yesterday.

You can still run away when you come here!

Looking at the old man's expression, this kind of thing is usually not uncommon.

And then I didn't care anymore.

I spent the morning practicing in the compound.

Until the harvest was completed, neither Dalong nor Huzi came over.

Since no one came, he left directly, but before leaving, he quietly came back and put the meat that Zhang Shaoting wanted here at Suo Ye.

After coming out, after a little pondering, I knew where the two of them went.

Qiao Yan there.

Because today I said that I would go there and smash the back wall open and make a door.

Then he rode away.

Before he went, he went to the commission store to buy some old clothes suitable for making cotton jackets and two pairs of old cotton shoes.

After getting it done, I rode towards Sidaowan Hutong.

When he came to the place, he knocked on the door, and after a while, Qiao Yan, who was nervous, opened the door.

Seeing him, Qiao Yan was obviously relieved.

"Coming?"

"Well, Dalong, are they here?"

Yang Xiaole asked while pushing the cart in.

Qiao Yan tied the door and hurriedly followed: "Well, here, I said I wanted to open the door." ”

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole nodded, and there was no need to answer.

After passing the shadow wall, I saw four people in the courtyard, who were busy there, and the wall behind them had been hammered out with a large hole.

A middle-aged man is carefully knocking on the bricks on the side little by little to prevent them from collapsing.

Dalong and Huzi are here.

Seeing him coming, both of them came over and didn't call their names, after all, there were outsiders.

They just nodded to each other, which was kind of a greeting.

Yang Xiaole glanced at the two people who were working, and there was a young man next to him, who was there and muddy.

There is also a finished door next to it.

And the lock is also according to his requirements, it is embedded in the door, and the door can be opened from the inside out, not the kind of padlock.

In this way, if there is action at night, there is no need to knock on the door so much.

Then he turned back to Dalong and asked, "When will it be done?" Can you finish it today? ”

"It's about the same, if you can't finish it today, it's good to finish it tomorrow morning."

Yang Xiaole nodded, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket and walked over: "Master, come on a cigarette." ”

Handed it to two people.

"Oh, okay, thank you!"

The middle-aged man stopped the hammer and took it with a smile.

Yang Xiaole said with a smile: "Master, can you hurry up, I'll finish it for him today, and I won't have to come over tomorrow, it's still very troublesome." ”

Hearing this, the other party took a look at the wall and thought about it.

Then he nodded: "Cheng, it's not a big problem, I'll bring you a little faster." ”

"Hey, thank you then!"

It's best to be able to get it right in one day, after all, there are many people.

Regardless of whether the young man next to him smoked or not, he handed one to the other party, and then called Qiao Yan back, leaving Huzi and the two to watch the two of them work.

Carrying the sack hanging from the cart into the back room.

When I entered, I saw some cardboard boxes all over the hall and the back room.

Yang Xiaole was surprised for a while: "What is this for?" ”

Hearing this, Qiao Yan looked happy: "I went to the neighborhood committee to find a job, paste cardboard boxes for them, and you can earn a dollar for 300 cardboard boxes!" ”

Yang Xiaole looked around: "Asked, how many can you paste this day?" ”

Mrs. Yang in their compound is also doing this work.

Nature is aware.

As soon as these words came out, Qiao Yan twisted a little: "I...... I'm just starting to get pasty! I can't paste much in a day, I heard that the fastest street is Grandma Li, who can paste more than 20 in an hour! At most, there were thirty. ”

Yang Xiaole bowed his head lightly when he heard this.

If you can do 300 a day, you can pay the wages of ordinary workers for a day.

Is it much?

Not much.

You must know that at this time, ordinary workers are all eight-hour system, and there are single days off, and there are various guarantees.

For this kind of cardboard box work, you can't do it for a dollar if you don't work for more than ten hours.

And this kind of work doesn't happen every day.

didn't care about her, it's not bad to do a little work, at least it won't be idle.

Then he raised his hand and said; "Oh, come into the house, here's for you."

After saying that, he went directly to the back room, regardless of whether this room was for a woman or not.

Qiao Yan didn't feel strange about him going in, just curious about what he was doing, and then followed in.

When he came to the kang, Yang Xiaole took out his things: "This is old clothes, this is old cotton shoes, by the way, can you do needlework?" ”

Qiao Yan hurriedly nodded: "Yes, yes, my mother taught me embroidery." ”

Hearing this, Yang Xiaole frowned.

"You know how to embroider?"

"Huh? How...... What's wrong? ”

Qiao Yan saw his expression, a little flustered, Yang Hao seemed to be a little unhappy?

Yang Xiaole shook his head: "It's nothing!" Let me ask, what did your mother do before? ”

Embroidery.

This work is not something that ordinary people can do, most of them are beautiful women, and few rural women will do this in these years.

The first thing that came to his mind was the question of his origin.

"Oh, my mother didn't do anything! It's a farmer! ”

"I'm asking before, or who did she learn this embroidery from?"

Hearing this, Qiao Yan already understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "We basically know this over there, before the liberation, women didn't work at home, so they had to know this, who wants to be skillful, young men from all over the country can pick at will, and the dowry can be a lot more!" ”

After speaking, his expression darkened: "It's a pity that I won't be allowed to sell this now, otherwise, I can still get some of this to fill the family!" ”

Yang Xiaole was stunned for a while when he heard this.

I see!

That's not a big problem, but he hasn't understood it, and he doesn't know the specific situation yet.

Then he said to her, "Then what will you do?" ”

Hearing this, Qiao Yan was a little embarrassed: "I...... I'll just do a little bit, and the rest will only be a little bit of a patch. ”

Yang Xiaole nodded: "Oh, that's it, that's okay, you can do this, you can dismantle the clothes here, and make a set of padded jackets by yourself when the time comes." Remember, it's okay to do it yourself, it's okay to be ugly, and you can't let others do it. ”

Qiao Yan didn't understand why.

But he still agreed: "Okay! I know. When do you want it? ”

"What am I going to do! This is for you. Do it yourself and wear it yourself. The rest of this is cotton. ”

Yang Xiaole pointed to the remaining ten catties of cotton and said to her.

"Huh? These...... Is it all for me? ”

Qiao Yan looked at the cotton with a burst of surprise.

Grabbed it with his hand, "This cotton is so good!" Soft and white! ”

"Poof!"

Yang Xiaole sneered.

Well, it's his mind that's too dirty.

Then he said: "Okay, put things away, don't let people see them, see what is still missing at home, I'll get some when the time comes." ”

Actually, it's nothing to see now.

After all, it was still early in that period.

But it is naturally best to leave no hidden dangers.

Although Qiao Yan didn't know why, she still obediently put things in the closet.

When he was ready, he came to the front and stared at him with wide eyes.

Yang Xiaole looked at the other party's skinny and bony eyes, which was really scary.

Shaking his head: "What did you eat last night?" ”

"Corn porridge?"

Qiao Yan said as a matter of course.

Yang Xiaole pondered for a moment and said: "During this time, I will eat according to the ration in the city, look at you, this hungry eye is bulging, hurry up and make up for it." You don't have to think about saving anything to eat, this is not a rural area, and there are these rations every month. If you can't finish eating, you can't take it out and sell it, otherwise the ration will be wasted. ”

"Oh!"

Qiao Yan snorted, but tears flowed out.

Seeing the other party's expression, Yang Xiaole said with a straight face: "Don't cry, I have a headache when I see a woman crying." ”

After that, I was ready to go to the next room to have a look.

There are temporary warehouses.

Looking at the back of the other party leaving, Qiao Yan blinked.

At the end, the tears broke into laughter.

I wiped my eyes and followed.
