Seeing that it was really Chu Xiangqian outside the door, Yan Fugui's excited tone changed.

"Xiang, Xiang, you're back from a business trip?"

Chu Xiangqian casually put the bag on the ground, took out the box from his pocket, and kept it in the big front door of the warehouse.

I sent one over, and then I said with a smile, "Yes, I have been on a business trip for more than 2 months, and I finally came back." ”

Yan Fugui pinned the cigarette to his ear, lowered his body to help Chu Xiangqian lift the bag, and pulled Chu Xiangqian's arm with his other hand.

As he walked inside, he shouted to the upside-down room on the right, "Aiyuan, don't sleep, your brother is back." ”

Not to mention Chu Aiyuan and the residents in the front yard, even the people in the middle courtyard were shocked.

After a while, I saw that the lights of several houses in the front yard were all turned on, and Aiyuan was also wearing a coat, and hurriedly opened the door to see Chu Xiangqian already standing in the yard, looking at himself with a smile.

"Brother", Ai Yuan was excited, and pounced directly, hugging Chu Qianqian and whimpering.

"Okay, okay", Chu Xiangqian hurriedly patted Aiyuan's back, "What are you crying about, I'm going on a business trip." ”

Aiyuan didn't care so much, and said with a crying voice, "Who let you not even send a letter back for more than two months." ”

The neighbor in the front yard couldn't help but laugh when he heard this.

Aiyuan was embarrassed to leave Chu Xiangqian's arms, but a pair of hands kept grabbing Chu Xiangqian's arm.

Chu Xiangqian didn't care about her, and took out the big front door to smoke one by one.

After a while, after Yan Jiefang's kid ran out, he actually cried and wanted to pounce.

Chu Xiangqian pressed the kid's head, and then casually hit him on the head.

"How old is it, and there is still cat pee."

Yan Jiefang rubbed his head embarrassedly, and said embarrassedly, "Brother, if you don't come back, I and I will be complained to death by our colleagues on the street in broad daylight." ”

Chu Xiangqian laughed, he left for two months, and the street was equal to a big fish, as well as 30 catties of game and chestnuts every month.

It's inevitable to say a few words of complaint.

"Okay, when I'm done with business in the capital, I'll take you and Guangtian to go fishing, and by the way, go to the mountains to have a look. Don't get your hopes up though.

After all, the dried fish, dried meat and chestnuts in the hands of the mountain people are also life-saving rations. ”

Yan Jiefang nodded silently, and the others in the courtyard also sighed.

Last month, each family's fixed grain was 2 catties less per person, and although they were not hungry to death, they really couldn't eat enough.

As for the 2 taels of meat tickets per month, although the tickets are still issued, the supply and marketing cooperatives and vegetable markets are often sold out within half an hour of opening.

Some people are even willing to take meat tickets and buy bones.

But even so, the vast majority of people still can't buy tickets.

If this were to be done in the first half of last year, anyone would definitely be called a fool.

So everyone didn't think there was any problem with Chu Xiangqian's words.

Fortunately, the people in the middle courtyard and the backyard had already gone out to the front yard at this time, and it was a lively scene, and Yan Fugui and the others were not embarrassed to ask Chu Xiangqian to help get some chestnuts.

When Uncle Yi saw Chu Xiangqian standing in the front yard, although the smile on his face was kind, he sighed in his heart.

On the one hand, he didn't want Chu Xiangqian's thorn to come back, and on the other hand, he thought that after Chu Xiangqian came back, he would be able to help the neighbors in the yard get some food back.

Except that Uncle Yi is really worried that someone will starve to death, and he is actually not bad to that extent, there is still the sympathy that he should have.

The second is that there are already people in the yard begging to come to the door, this one borrows a few catties, that one borrows some money, and the first and second uncles, the two masters with the highest salaries, are almost unbearable.

But as soon as Chu Xiangqian came back, he asked everyone not to have too much hope, which was equivalent to blocking this road.

When the patriots and people saw Chu Xiangqian, they also rushed over crying, and then Chu Xiangqian stopped his footsteps one by one.

"I'm not going out to fight, I'm just on a business trip for two months, and I'll whip you both if I cry again."

Patriotism and love for the people laughed when they were beaten and scolded, lifted Chu Xiangqian's handbag, and said with a smile, "Brother, let's go make your bed." ”

Aiyuan hurriedly followed into the east wing, so as not to love the country and the people, and make a bed badly.

Chu Xiangqian saw the people in the middle courtyard and the backyard coming one after another, and after thinking about it, he said, "Uncle Yi, why don't we wake up and have a short meeting of the whole court."

So as not to wake up the others, and the big guys sit together, ask whatever they want, and go home early to rest. ”

When everyone heard this, they also felt justified.

They each went home to get the bench, and Chu Xiangqian also went back to the east wing, and changed all the fastened coats on his body and the suits inside.

Wearing a Mao suit, he came to the middle courtyard with a bag of red dates.

At this time, not to mention the little doll, even the deaf old lady sat under the eaves of the main house of the fool's house, looking at herself with a smile.

As soon as Silly Zhu and Xu Damao saw him enter the middle courtyard, they hurriedly got up and greeted him.

After another polite and cigarette lighting, Chu Xiangqian glanced at Liu Guangtian, who was excited, beckoned to him, and took out a pack of big front doors, "Send it to the big guy." ”

Liu Guangtian was overjoyed, and he was busy with his eyes one after another.

Chu Xiangqian handed over the red dates in his hand to Yan Jiefang, and the women and children were also happy to thank them again and again.

Lou Xiao'e and Qin Huairu stared at him even more.

Fortunately, the others were similar, even He Yushui blushed, eating red dates, and staring at Chu Qianqian in a daze.

After tossing for a while, Chu Xiangqian was disciplined or needed to keep it secret, and finally no one was curious about where he had been on a business trip in the past two months.

Seeing that it was almost over, Chu Xiangqian was going to go home to sleep, but Uncle Yi coughed, "Xiangqian, you just came back, I shouldn't have bothered you." But the big guys are having a hard time right now.

I want you to think of a way to get some food back.

Of course, we also know that it may be more difficult in the mountains, whether it is successful or not, please be tired to ask. ”

As soon as these words came out, everyone else chimed in.

Chu Qianqian went to Hong Kong Island, and his mentality changed, but he still didn't plan to care about this kind of trouble.

Of course, if someone's family really can't get by, then say another story.

But the words have to be tactful, "Okay, in the past two days, I have reported the work to the leader and handed over clearly, and then I went back to the forest farm to worship my father."

I visited the second and third uncles, and went into the mountains to ask.

However, as I said earlier, don't get your hopes up for this.

There is still food to eat in the city, and some people in the mountains may have run out of food by now, and they all live on fruits, chestnuts, and so on.

And those who know know that March is the most difficult time in the mountains.

Wild fruits or something have just produced green fruits, and other things don't necessarily bear fruit, not to mention other things. ”

When they heard this, they could not help but sigh.

Chu Xiangqian saw that the big guy looked depressed, and after thinking about it, he said, "In this way, there is really no one in the mountains, I will take a few half-sized children to find a place to fish and try it."

No matter how much you can catch, even if you drink fish soup in every household, it can be regarded as a supplement for nutrition. ”

This time the big guy is grateful again, Chu Xiangqian has always been cautious, put away his smile and reminded, "I caught a fish, I have to find a place to do it, after all, even if I have great ability, I can only take care of our yard."

If it gets out of the yard, then I'll have to stop fishing. lest others be so hungry that they can't live and do anything. ”

Everyone was secretly startled, and while nodding in agreement, their eyes kept looking at the people around them.

Uncle Yi knocked on the table with a teapot and said solemnly, "What I said forward is reasonable, he helped us fish in the yard alone, and it was already very troublesome."

If we find out who is chewing the root of the tongue outside, I will be in charge with the second and third masters and drive people out of this courtyard. ”

"Yes, such people are pests and must be driven out."

Soon there was an agreement in the yard that as for how to cook fish, people in this year know how to hide the smell of meat dishes at home.

Chu Xiangqian was relieved at this time, and said by name, "Then Yan Jiefang, Liu Guangtian, Jiang Er, and the Zhao family boy will go out with me." ”

"Wait", Xu Damao was willing to let go of this opportunity, and hurriedly said, "Forward, I can stay on my bicycle if I follow."

If you're lucky, you'll catch a few fish in the morning.

I rode my bicycle and brought it back first, so that the big guys would not come back with them and bring a lot of fish to arouse suspicion. ”

Chu Xiangqian didn't want to waste words with Xu Damao, nodded in agreement, and then looked stupid and said, "Zhuzi, you also find someone to ask, get an extra bicycle and come back."

Lest you have to walk for half a day just to waste your time. ”

Nodding his head stupidly, Uncle Yi thought for a while, "I'll find someone to borrow one." ”

After speaking, he looked at Liu Haizhong, "Second uncle, you also ask, one more car can save a lot of effort."

Otherwise, they are in a hurry, fishing and fishing, and if they are too tired, they will hurt the roots. ”

This kind of showmanship, where will the bangs lag behind Yi Zhonghai.

Hurriedly nodded and agreed, "Lao Yi doesn't say it, I'll find someone to borrow one tomorrow." It's just a pity that it's hard to get a bike ticket, otherwise I would have wanted to buy one. ”

Chu Qianqian saw Liu Haizhong looking at him, and he couldn't help but be secretly happy in his heart, and glanced at Liu Haizhong.

Since this old boy has money, he must sell him a bicycle ticket.

And last time, he gave himself a lot of copper coins in his bangs, and let him use copper coins to offset it, which is also beneficial to himself.

Seeing Chu Xiangqian giving himself a look in his bangs, he couldn't help but be overjoyed.

After the meeting ended, Chu lined his head forward and said to the big guy, "By the way, I heard that there may be a health inspection the day after tomorrow, and the big guy will sweep the yard tomorrow."

Don't dry your clothes, quilts, or anything for the past two days.

Don't put out bamboo poles, hangers, etc. casually. Lest in case someone comes to inspect it, it will feel chaotic at first glance and affect the leader's opinion of our yard.

Of course, this is not necessarily the case. ”

The first, second and third uncles hurriedly agreed.

The leaders were not happy, and the first to be unlucky were the three of them.

"Although he said that it was not necessary, since he heard about it from his colleagues, we should really have it.

Besides, the big guys work together, and it doesn't take much effort to clean the yard inside and outside. ”

The big guy has no opinion on this, but as soon as Qin Huairu heard the bamboo bar, he knew that what Chu Xiangqian said just now was nonsense, in order to tell himself to meet in the courtyard of Mao'er Hutong the day after tomorrow.

My heart was pounding involuntarily.

In the past two months, Qin Huairu has really been sleeping with Xiaodang, Jia Dongxu knows that he is at a loss, and he has a woman's affairs outside, not only Qin Huairu knows.

The neighbors in the yard, with a few gossips coming from the police station, after a long time, basically knew that the last time the three Buddhas came to the door, it was because of the woman.

On the contrary, Jia Zhang's son and daughter-in-law have never made trouble or persuaded him to sleep in separate beds.

The reason is very simple, her son is at a loss, and now he really can't eat enough, in her mother's opinion, sleeping in separate beds is a good thing.

As for Lou Xiao'e, Chu Xiangqian could only take advantage of the dispersal of the whole academy meeting to discuss with Xu Damao whether to go fishing the day after tomorrow, or simply wait until this Sunday to leave.

winked at Lou Xiao'e and signaled her not to worry.

Unexpectedly, Xu Damao wanted to ask about the wild boar whip, so he pulled Chu forward and walked to the backyard.

"Forward, you've been on a business trip for so long, my brother has to have a drink with you. Besides, the more you drink alcohol, the more you can sleep. ”

When Chu Xiangqian heard this, he smiled at the corner of his mouth, and followed Xu Damao's pull and went to the backyard with him.

Stupidly patted his head, and secretly scolded himself for not thinking of this reason?

Otherwise, I would be able to talk to Chu Xiang about game and fish tonight.

Seeing that the patriots and the people also followed them to the backyard house, he hurriedly grabbed the two of them, "Go to my house and sit down, and explain some things about your canteen."

Lest I go out fishing with your brother and always think about the cafeteria. ”

Loving the country and the people couldn't help but scold in their hearts, but they were stupid, and the two of them couldn't refute his face.

After all, he is nominally the senior brother of the two brothers, but in fact, in the past two months, he has begun to teach them how to fry big pot dishes.

This is absolutely unique in the chef industry in this era.

If you really follow the rules, you will have to have three or five or six years of basic skills before you have the opportunity to go to the stove.

Chu Qianqian entered Xu Damao's house, and listened to Xu Damao's repeated instructions to Lou Xiao'e to get wine, canned food, and peanuts.

Lou Xiao'e didn't have the heart to do it this time, pretending to mumble a few words, and soon there were four or five plates in the living room.

Xu Damao didn't doubt it when he saw this, and found a reason to let Lou Xiao'e go back to the back room, Chu Xiangqian nodded to Lou Xiao'e under the cover of drinking with a wine glass.

Lou Xiao'e smiled and entered the back room.

Xu Damao hurriedly poured wine for Chu Xiangqian, drank a few glasses, and whispered, "Xiangqian, how about getting me another wild boar whip for my brother?" ”

Chu Xiangqian knew that Xu Damao had come over to drink by himself, and that was for this matter.

But he is not short of money now, and he still has more than 4,000 yuan in the warehouse and doesn't know how to use it.

After thinking about it, he said, "I'll go to the mountains and ask, it shouldn't be a big problem." However, when I went on a business trip this time, I heard from a colleague in the north that his father-in-law's house was hiding a tiger whip that he got at the end of last year, Lubao.

This thing must be more effective than the wild boar whip, but there are several regular workers in the family, and there is no shortage of money.

If you want, it's better to trade it with old gadgets. ”

Xu Damao was originally worried that he couldn't afford it, but when he heard Chu Xiangqian say that he could exchange old things, he suddenly became interested.
