In front of the shoe store, the light is soft.

Liu Yi was already killing the yellow eel with a knife.

First fix the eel's head with a nail, then straighten the eel's body, and gently swipe along the vertebrae, the entire eel's bones are exposed, and then the knife is pulled with a knife, and all the eel bones under the nail come out.

The whole process was smooth, so that the lively melon seeds and small ones were stunned for a while.

Liu Yi enjoyed such a warm scene very much, and was about to change his posture to kill the yellow eel, but the melon seeds ran and moved a small bench from the kitchen door: "Grandpa Liu, sit down, Mom said that it's not good for older people to squat for a long time." ”

"Haha...... Thank you!" Liu Yi, who had a warm heart, smiled happily when he heard this.

But instead of sitting on the small bench for the first time, he ran to the kitchen and washed his hands.

After all, this small bench was brought from melon seeds, and it would not be good if it was infected with the blood of yellow eel.

In the kitchen, Liu Dongju, who was chopping vegetables, saw this scene and smiled: "I can't see that you are still a master of killing yellow eels!"

"Well, when I was a child, my family was poor, so I took my sister to dig yellow eels in the farmland and sell them for money, and the yellow eels at that time were much bigger than the ones you caught!" Liu Yi smiled, with memories of his past life in his eyes.

Liu Dongju saw it and didn't ask more.

The melon seeds ran into the kitchen jumping up: "Grandpa Liu, don't be sluggish, Zhao Jing is here, as well as Xiaodoudou and Lanlan, they all want to see you kill the yellow eel!"

"Really?" Liu Yi, who washed his hands, picked up a rag and wiped his hands, then walked out of the kitchen with melon seeds.

"Grandpa Liu, hurry up. ”

"Yes, Grandpa Liu, look, these yellow eels have all run away!"

"Hee-hee...... Grandpa Liu's beard is so white!

Zhao Jing, Xiao Budian, Xiao Doudou, Lan Lan and more than a dozen other children, when they saw Liu Yi coming out, they hurriedly surrounded them one by one.

This made Liu Yi a little overwhelmed, and after coming back to his senses, he smiled and sat down on a small bench: "You little ghosts, aren't you afraid that adults will worry about running out to play like this?"

"They all live around here, and they are not afraid. The little hand of the melon seed took out a grain of toffee from his pocket, and after peeling off the wrapper, he secretly stuffed it into Liu Yi's mouth: "Grandpa, it's almost right! ”

"Okay! good!" Liu Yi wanted to refuse, because the old ones had bad teeth and couldn't eat sugar, and it was still night.

But when I saw the melon seeds looking expectantly on the side, I had to nod warmly in my heart.

Because this kid knows that it hurts people, he doesn't want the king to waste this kindness.

Master Guan, who walked out of the door of the clinic, was stunned when he saw this scene.

After coming back to his senses, he hurriedly came to Liu Yi's side: "Isn't your body unable to squat?

"Grandpa's health is good!" the melon seeds on the side couldn't help but say.

"That's it, that's it, he's going to kill us again, why are you bothering?"

"You ......," Master Guan didn't know what to say for a while.

"Don't mind if you're a child, besides, I'm not as bad as you think. Liu Yi stood up, and then sat on the small bench again: "Look at it, I have something to do, isn't it good!"

"You have to stay away from me, and wait until the blood of the yellow eel is splashed all over your body, and it will be worth the loss. After a pause, Liu Yi added with a smile.

Now he is in front of the children such as melon seeds and Xiaobudian, that is the most kind grandfather, as for the anger on his body, I don't know why, in the quiet and silent, it has long been gone.

This surprised Master Guan, and he reached out and hurriedly checked Liu Yi's pulse.

Even if his sleeve was stained with the blood of a yellow eel, he didn't care at all.

Liu Yi looked at Master Guan with a light smile: "How is it?"

"It's impossible, it's impossible. After Master Guan let go of his hand, he spoke a little incoherently in shock, and he didn't say hello to Liu Yi, so he hurriedly ran into the clinic to inquire about the situation.

Because he was in a hurry, he almost bumped into Liu Xing head-on.

"Be careful when you walk. Liu Xinglian reminded.

Master Guan did not reply, but still ran into the clinic as he should.

This made Liu Xing a little puzzled, but he didn't ask more, but came to Liu Yi's side: "You better take the melon seeds to the side to rest! ”

After all, Liu Yi is a guest, so it's not good for the guest to do things.

"It's okay, it's okay, you can go about it! I like to kill yellow eels. Liu Yi glanced up at Liu Xing: "By the way, is your eldest sister's house so lively every day?"

"It's about the same! It's even more lively when you go to the market. Liu Xing picked up the basin and filled the killed yellow eel: "If you want to buy something, you can go to the department store, where everything is sold." ”

"I don't believe that. Liu Yi smiled lightly and shook his head.

Now, although reform and opening up have taken place, some commodities from other places cannot be transported to the bazaar at all.

As for the reason, one is that the road is not passable, and the other is that many goods are still under control, and if you want to buy it without a ticket, I am afraid that it is a fool's dream.

"Grandpa, what Brother Wo said is true. Guazi corrected on the side.

"As long as you have money, you can buy anything. Xiao Budian followed up.

"Is there really such a thing?" Liu Yi knew that melon seeds and Xiao Budian would not lie to him, and raised his head in surprise at the moment.

"If you don't believe me, you can go and have a look, and come back just in time for dinner. Liu Xing proposed.

"Then I'll have to wait until I kill these yellow eels. After Liu Yi said this, he lowered his head and concentrated on killing the yellow eel.

Seeing this, Liu Xing didn't bother, and walked into the kitchen to help with the killed yellow eel.

On Liu Yi's side, after a while, all the yellow eels were killed.

He straightened his back.

See nothing at all.

I couldn't help laughing: "Melon seeds, it's small, wait for grandpa to wash the handles, and I'll take you to the department store, don't go!"

"Uh-huh!" melon seeds nodded.

"Grandpa, I want a popsicle. Xiao Budian raised his little hand.

"I want just toffee. This is Zhao Jing's voice.

"Good, good, good!" Liu Yi rarely saw such a lively scene.

After saying yes, I went into the kitchen to wash my hands.

When he came out, he was suddenly stunned.

Because he realized that he didn't have any money with him.

Just as he was about to ask the driver for some, Liu Xing appeared beside him and handed him twenty yuan: "You take this money, my sister wants to eat snacks, but I can't let you break the bank." ”

"This ...... Okay!" Liu Lao wanted to refuse.

But when he thought that Liu Xing didn't mean to give him charity, he accepted it with a smile.

"Grandpa, let's go!" Xiao Budian saw that the market at night was getting more and more lively, and he hurriedly grabbed Liu Yi's hand.

"Yes! The melon seed took the lead and ran.

Xiao Doudou, Zhao Jing, Lan Lan and more than a dozen other children hurriedly followed.

"Slow down. Liu Yi smiled, and hurriedly picked up Xiao Budian and followed behind.

With the flow of people, it soon came to the gate of the department store.

When he saw the bustling scene inside, Liu Yi was stunned.

Because he had never seen a department store in a small market in the middle of nowhere, and there would be such a large flow of people at night.

The shouts and the sound of buying and selling inside came and went, proving that this business was really not ordinarily good.

In other words, it can be reflected from this point, because of this market, the life of the people around Zhangmu Township is delicious.

But he still didn't believe that some popular goods didn't need tickets, and after telling a dozen children around him, such as Gua Zi, Zhao Jing, and Lan Lan, not to run around, he walked into the department store with curiosity.

At first glance, he saw the counter of Liu Xing's liquor direct wholesale store.

There are neatly placed liquors such as Kweichow Moutai, Luzhou Laojiao, Wuliangye, and Gujing Gongjiu.

Looking at the price, it is actually very cheap.

It's a pity that it is not retail, only wholesale.

Seeing this scene, Liu Yi leaned over and greeted Nai Xinru in front of the counter: "How much does it cost you to buy a box of Kweichow Moutai?"

"Thirty yuan a box, wholesale price, as for tickets, do you think this department store needs a ticket for trading?"

"This ......," Liu Yi looked at the counters around him.

Seeing that the vendors who were trading really didn't need a ticket receipt, they were confused.

Because this phenomenon should not happen in a small market like the old housing estate!

Take this Kweichow Moutai as an example, if he wants to buy a few bottles to entertain distinguished guests, he must say hello to the relevant departments in advance to get tickets, otherwise he will not want to buy controlled goods like Kweichow Moutai at all.

But this department store ......

As far as the eye can see, clothes, shoes, daily necessities and other goods.

It seems that they are all free to trade, and there is no need for so-called tickets at all.

And the price is surprisingly cheap, and it's all genuine.

Thinking of this, Liu Yilian looked at Nai Xinru: "Who opened this department store?"

"Liu Xing, he is the person in charge of this bazaar. Naixin said with a smile.

"Is it him?" Liu Yi was surprised when he heard this.

Just as he was about to continue to ask Naixin a few questions, the little dot he was holding in his hand was unhappy: "Grandpa, I want just sugar and oil baba, you have to buy it for me." ”

"I also want just sugar and oil baba, and twist flowers!" This is the sweet and glutinous voice of melon seeds.

"Okay, good!" Liu Yi couldn't laugh or cry when he heard this, but he was more happy, and after saying hello to Nai Xinru, he took them and walked towards the counter selling sugar and oil baba opposite.

But the heart is like seeing it go away, and he is not careless.

After all, it has a good relationship with small dots and melon seeds.

That must be someone Liu Xing trusts very much.

Wang Kunlun on the side didn't think so, he whispered: "The identity of this old man is not simple, should we go to the shoe store and talk to Liu Xing?"

"No need, the people around Liu Xing, which one has a simple identity?" said Nai Xinru, who was wiping the counter.

"This ...... Also. Wang Kunlun nodded in a daze.

......

In front of the counter selling sugar and oil baba.

Liu Yi stopped: "Boss, how do you sell sugar and oil baba?"

"Yo! you are a little bit of ......" The boss is a villager of Laowu Village, and he is also a member of the Zhao family, this time I saw the little little bit that Liu Yi was holding in his hand, as well as the melon seeds, Zhao Jing, Lan Lan, and other children who were following him, and he couldn't help but ask for a while.

"He's my Grandpa Liu. Xiao Bu said in a milky voice.

"Yes, Uncle brought ten strings of sugar and oil to the nest. Melon Seed stood on tiptoe and placed a dollar on the counter.

Sugar and oil baba is ten for a dime, and ten dollars can buy ten strings.

This price is cheap enough for Liu Yi.

I was about to get back the money given by the melon seeds and let him pay for it.

The boss rushed to return the money to the melon seeds: "If you want to eat sugar and oil baba, you don't need to give money, if you give it, you don't look down on your uncle, you know?"

"Hee-hee...... Got it. Melon Seed smiled sweetly.

"Wait!" The boss hurriedly fried the sugar and oil poop.

Melon seeds are waiting on the sidelines.

When there was a bunch of them, he hurriedly picked them up and handed them to Liu Yi: "Grandpa, you are just right, pay attention to hot mouth." ”

"Hey!" Liu Yi, who was embarrassed, had to reach out and take it.

This kid really hurts.

The boss saw the relationship between melon seeds and Liu Yi, and said: "Melon seeds like to eat twist flowers, you hurry up and buy them at the stall outside! ”

"With such a lively market, it is impossible to close the stalls so early, right?" Liu Yi denied the boss's words.

"Huh...... It's the first time you've come to this bazaar, and now everyone's business is doing well! Under Liu Xing's management, we don't have enough things to sell. The boss replied with a light smile.

"Really?" Liu Yi was stunned for a moment, and then hurriedly walked out of the department store with melon seeds, Zhao Jing and other children.

When I looked at the vendors setting up stalls on the street, I saw a lot of stalls, and some of them were sitting on the stalls and smiling and counting the money, and the happy look seemed to be not seen in other places at all.

Liu Yi seemed to understand something, and saw that there were still twist flowers to buy at the stall opposite, so he hurriedly walked over.

I just bought twist flowers, and I want to buy toffee when I am small.

Then Zhao Jing wanted to buy toys again, and he also took a fancy to a good little pipe.

After buying it this time, I found that Liu Xing gave twenty yuan and it was quickly spent.

Then there was a huge bazaar, and he didn't even go to half of it.

The melon seeds eating twist flowers saw Liu Yi's embarrassment, and hurriedly raised his little head and said, "Grandpa, let's go back!

"Yes, just go to dinner, don't let your uncle wait with your mother!" Xiao Budian said.

"Okay! good!" Liu Yi dotingly reached out and touched the little head of the melon seeds, and quickly turned around and took the lead towards the shoe store.

Only then did he realize that happiness was so simple.

......

Shoe store entrance.

Two tables have been set.

Four or five dishes have already been served.

There are also a few dishes, Liu Xing is making in the kitchen.

And Liu Dongju was laying his hands on the side, and he didn't have time to wipe the sweat on his busy forehead.

"Ma Ma, bring Grandpa Liu back!" Xiao Budian ran into the kitchen at this time.

"Really?" Liu Dongju looked at Liu Xing when he heard this: "Brother, don't be busy, hurry up and entertain Liu Lao." ”

"It's okay, this yellow eel will be fried immediately, and it won't be too late. Liu Xing said and turned the pot a few times, and then scooped all the fried yellow eels with garlic into the plate on the side.

Xiao Budian smelled the fragrance, it was tiptoe and hurriedly ate a piece, seeing that the taste was terrible, he hurriedly ran out: "Auntie, Zhao Jing, Xiao Doudou, Sister Lan Lan, hurry up and take the dishes and chopsticks, my uncle fried the yellow eel, it's just right!"

"Really?" Doudou was the first to rush into the kitchen.

Zhao Jing followed closely behind.

"Wait a nest!" shouted Melon Zilian.

But she quickly ran out, holding two pairs of chopsticks in her hand, one of which was handed to Liu Yi, who was looking at it with a light smile: "Grandpa, don't look at it! Wait a minute, there is no yellow eel meat, don't blame the nest for not reminding you." ”

"Really?"

Liu Yi took the dishes and chopsticks.

These children are really special.

A turn back.

Xiao Budian, Zhao Jing, Xiao Doudou, Lan Lan and other dozen children have already run out of the kitchen, squatting under the grapefruit tree with a big bowl of food and eating it, laughing out loud while eating, it seems that they have never eaten such a delicious meal.

"Are these all your eldest sister's children?"

Liu Yi was surprised, and asked Liu Xing who came out of the kitchen.

"No, they are all children of neighbors, and a few of them are children who help with things. Liu Xing explained with a smile.

"Eat like this at your eldest sister's house every day?" Liu Yi was surprised when he heard this.

Because in his opinion, the countryside is very poor.

It's okay to eat one meal, but I'm afraid that he won't be able to resist it if he eats it every day.

"Almost! But it's nothing. Liu Xing saw that Doctor Jiang, Qinglian, Luzhu, and Master Guan hadn't come out to eat yet, so he said something to Liu Yi and walked towards the clinic.

Liu Yi looked at Liu Xing who was far away, and he was very puzzled.

Because other places are not as hospitable as Liu Xing.

After this meal, a dozen and a half children ate and drank.

To put it mildly, it's expensive.

Just about to go to the kitchen to ask Liu Dongju why he did this.

The melon seeds walked out of the kitchen with the food, and when he stepped forward, he picked up a piece of yellow eel meat and handed it to his mouth: "Grandpa, hurry up, it's fragrant." ”

"This ...... Okay!" Liu Yi was stunned for a moment, so he had to smile lightly and open his mouth.

"Well, it tastes good. Liu Yi, who tasted the taste, couldn't help but praise it.

This is the truth, and there is absolutely no perfunctory meaning of melon seeds.

"Brother Wo fried it, of course it tastes good!" After saying this, the melon seeds smiled and ran to Xiao Budian's side to eat.

Liu Yi looked at it and sighed: "How good it would be if I could have such a lovely grandson by my side, I was also confused for a while, and sent Xiaoliang and Xiaoyu to the big city of Yanjing, and now I want to see each other, but I'm afraid it's all extravagant." ”

"Don't be in a daze!" Liu Dongju came out of the kitchen and saw that Liu Yi was motionless, so he hurriedly stepped forward and reminded: "Hurry up and serve the table, Doctor Jiang and others who will help with things will come soon." ”

"Okay, good!" Liu Yi said, but he didn't act.

Because there is no one at the two tables now!

I was going to ask Liu Dongju about some things related to Liu Xing.

Nai Xinru came back from the department store with Wang Kunlun, followed by Chen Hong, Kang Fuchuan, Village Chief Zhao and others.

At the gate of the clinic, Doctor Jiang also came over with Yi Jianping, Master Guan, Qinglian, Luzhu, and Liu Xing.

"Dongkui, come out for dinner. Seeing this, Liu Dongju shouted to the backyard.

A moment later, Zhao Dongkui came out of the backyard, accompanied by Zhao Gou and Zhao Liang.

In the shoe store, Zhou Min, Zhou Shan, and Zhao Peony also walked out.

Without Liu Dongju's explanation, they sat on the wooden table one by one.

"Let it, let it ......" Liu Xing took a big pot of rice and put it under the grapefruit tree.

Seeing that Master Guan and Liu Yi were still standing on the side and watching, they said, "What's the matter, the food is not suitable for your taste?"

"No, I didn't expect your eldest sister's house to be so lively today. Liu Yilian explained.

"Lively or secondary, I can see that it is your boy's luck that drives the prosperity of this bazaar. Master Guan folded his hands together: "Amitabha, it is really good. ”

"Uncle Shi, don't talk about these things you don't understand when you eat, go to the table to eat, I know you like to drink, no! Kweichow Moutai has prepared three bottles for you. Doctor Jiang took the Moutai wine from Nai Xinru's hand, and put it on the table with a light smile.

"I've quit drinking. "Master Guan said.

"That meat can't be eaten either?" Doctor Jiang pointed to the food on the table and teased: "Then I'm sorry, Liu Xing's dishes are all meat, you can only go hungry." ”

"The poor monk did not abstain from meat. Master Guan said with a dark face.

"Hahaha......" When the people present heard this, they all laughed.

The melon seeds also smiled with big eyes and became crescent moons, and there was a joke in the sweet and glutinous voice: "That means, you are a fake monk?"

"It must be fake, the real monk heard that even the meal is not proper. The melon seed tilted his little head and said.

As soon as these innocent words came out, even Liu Yi couldn't help laughing: "Master Guan, it seems that you shouldn't come here today! This group of children not only makes me have no choice, but you are afraid that you can only follow the local customs." ”

"Yes, let's not talk about this, today I broke my vows, drink wine and eat meat, and do whatever I have to do. Master Guan sat next to Doctor Jiang: "You have to have a few drinks with me today, you can't leave if you don't get drunk." ”

"Okay, Old Liu, let's have a few drinks together!" Doctor Jiang beckoned to Liu Yi.

"Okay!" Liu Yi didn't refuse, and slowly sat down opposite Doctor Jiang.

......

The meal lasted two hours.

There are quite a few people who get drunk.

But because they don't live far away.

All that no one cares about when they're drunk.

But Liu Xing can't, he still has to study tomorrow, so he explained that he didn't drink before eating.

Seeing that Liu Yi and Master Guan had no intention of leaving, he immediately said to Liu Dongju and drove the Isuzu double-seater truck back to the red brick house in the city with melon seeds.

To his surprise, Wu Ju was actually waiting for him back and forth at the door of the red brick house.

In the jeep on the side, I also saw the figure of Director Tian.

Liu Xing knew that they hadn't gone back to rest so late, and there must be something very important to find him.

After stopping the Isuzu double-row truck, he took the melon seeds and went straight up.

"Good night uncle. Guazi knew that adults and children should not listen, and after waving his little hand to say hello, he ran into the door.

Wu Ju watched the figure of the melon seed disappear, and then said in a low voice: "Did you take an old man named Liu Yi to the market to see Doctor Jiang today?"

"Well, he went to Doctor Jiang to see a doctor, and it's much better so far. Liu Xing replied truthfully.

"Why don't you tell me about such an important matter?" Wu Ju frowned: "Do you know? Just because I was the last to receive the news, I was sued by Fang Youwei, and now I have been suspended." ”

"What?" Liu Xing's eyes widened: "What's the situation, what is the matter with Liu Lao's medical treatment, isn't this a dog meddling with a mouse?"

"That's not right! It's not a trivial matter that won't be suspended, right?" After a pause, Liu Xing couldn't help but ask again.

"It's not a small thing, it's a big deal. Director Tian reminded with a smile.

"Huh?" Liu Xing froze.

"Well, you don't know. ”

"This Liu Yi, he is a provincial ......" Speaking of this, Wu Julian cautiously glanced around, and saw that there was no one else, so he whispered in Liu Xing's ear.

"Isn't it???"

After Liu Xing understood, the whole person was confused.

He said that this Liu Yi looked a little familiar, and it turned out to be a provincial ......

Fortunately, I didn't offend him before, and invited him to dinner and chatted happily, otherwise this would really be a disaster from heaven, and I don't know what the reason is for death!

"Now I just want to ask you, where is his old man?" Wu Ju saw that Liu Xing knew the seriousness of the matter, and immediately asked.

"It's still in the fair. Liu Xing replied.

"Really?" Wu Ju glanced at Director Tian, hurriedly got into the jeep and hurried away, without even saying goodbye.

As for the direction, it must be a bazaar.

This made Liu Xing a little apprehensive in his heart, but he didn't think much about it, after all, he still had to go to study tomorrow.

Seeing that Guazi was upstairs and calling him to take a bath, he immediately came back to his senses and walked into the door.

......
