"What do you say now?" asked Village Chief Zhao with a wry smile.

"What else can I do?" Liu Xing shrugged his shoulders, spread his hands and said: "This matter was provoked by the dog and Zhao Liang, you can solve it with them, I don't care about the matter of your old house village marrying a bachelor, let's talk about it...... Can I take care of this?"

"This ...... Also. Village Chief Zhao had to nod in agreement.

The matchmaker is an errand, but it's very unflattering.

He has lived for such an old age, and he has also worked as a matchmaker.

But as a result, the benefits were not much.

But the little daughter-in-law who married into the old house village always likes to come to his house to complain when she encounters quarrels.

That's a lot of annoyance.

"Actually!" Liu Xing sighed lightly: "The matter of finding a partner is not in a hurry, the girls of Hengshui Distillery are willing to come to the market of Laowu Village to have a look, which proves that Laowu Village is quite attractive now, that is to say, even if you don't go to work in Hengshui Distillery, you can still marry a daughter-in-law, it's just a matter of time." ”

Compared to the old housing estate.

There are a lot of singles in Saltpeter Village.

Unless you have the ability, many of them can only fight singles for the rest of their lives.

Therefore, you must know enough to be a human being, otherwise it will cause trouble.

"Well, I also found out about this recently, and many matchmakers have come to the old housing village to work as matchmakers. Village Chief Zhao was stunned for a moment and understood the meaning of Liu Xing's words: "But today this matter was messed with by the dog and Zhao Liang, how do you say I ended up? I have to give them an explanation when I go back, right?"

"This is easy to do, you go back and tell the dog and Zhao Liang, if the two of them don't go to work at the Hengshui Distillery tomorrow to repair the wine filling equipment, and replace them with two to five other young guys from the old housing village, as for why, it should be a punishment for their bragging!" Liu Xing proposed.

"Haha...... It's a good feeling. Village Chief Zhao couldn't help but smile when he heard this.

Doing so not only helped him solve the problem, but also punished the dog and Zhao Liang, which can be described as killing two birds with one stone!

"Then it's settled. Liu Xing saw that the sky was about to get dark, so he turned around and walked towards the gate of the shoe store.

Village Chief Zhao watched Liu Xing go away, smoked a few puffs of dry tobacco, and went to busy with him.

But when he thought that Gouzi and Zhao Liang couldn't go to work at Hengshui Distillery tomorrow, he couldn't be happy.

After all, if you were any person with brains, she would not give Liu Xing a problem at this time.

Of course, the dog and Zhao Liang may have been unintentional.

But if you are too arrogant, you will definitely be happy and sad.

......

Under the grapefruit tree.

Zhang Zhang accompanied Aunt Zhong and Wang Aixiang to drink tea and chat.

Soon the matter between Zhao Gou and Zhang Ruoxi was finalized.

In fact, it can't be done if it's not finalized, because in the eyes of Zhao Gou and Zhang Ruoxi now, there is no one else at all, and the appearance of you and me makes the melon seeds, Xiaobudian, Xiaodoudou, and Lanlan who are playing around eat a lot of dog food.

Seeing that Liu Xing was back, the two hurriedly greeted him, and Zhao Gouhan scratched his head with a smile: "Boss, Ruoxi wants to sell fruits in a department store, but now that the counter is gone, can you help me think of a way?"

"It's not hard to talk to Sister Chen about this. Liu Xing smiled and said.

"The problem is that I don't know Sister Chen well. Zhao Gou was a little embarrassed: "I can't open my mouth." ”

"Then I'll wait and tell Sister Chen, don't worry, it's not a thing. Liu Xing patted Zhao Gou on the shoulder: "Let's go, let's talk for a while, and tell me how you talked about the matter with Sister Ruoxi." ”

"It's been negotiated. Zhao Gou replied.

"So fast?" Liu Xing was a little stunned.

He just chatted with Village Chief Zhao for a while, and the conversation was over?

This......

This is a little too incredible!

Because in his impression, the parents of men and women in rural areas have to talk for at least an hour or two when they meet! Like what kind of meeting gifts, how many and how many are the four major things, and those miscellaneous customs and customs, in a word, the parents are more reasonable, if they are not easy to speak, then I am afraid that they will not be able to talk for two or three days.

"Is it fast?" Zhao Gohan smiled: "I don't think it at all." ”

"Me too. Zhang Ruoxi smiled happily.

"Then I bless you. Liu Xing ran into the kitchen, and after finding the red paper, he wrapped two red envelopes of twenty yuan and walked out, one handed to Zhang Ruoxi and the other to Zhao Gou.

Because Liu Dongju married into Zhao Dongkui's family, Zhao Gou didn't give a red envelope, nor did he come to Zhao Dongkui's house to drink happy wine, so he refused to ask for this red envelope no matter what he said.

This made Liu Xing a little angry: "Why are you so naïve! This is a part of my sister's heart, before! You may have some misunderstandings and contradictions with my brother-in-law, but this is all in the past, so it's like turning a book, don't mention it again in the past, unless you still have a grudge against my brother-in-law and eldest sister, otherwise you have to have this red envelope." ”

Seeing Liu Xing say this, Zhao Gou didn't know what to say for a while, seeing Zhang Ruoxi watching dissatisfiedly on the side, he hurriedly accepted the red envelope: "Actually, the contradiction between me and Zhao Dongkui is because of last year's farmland irrigation, and you also know that last year's drought and the dispute over water sources were boiling." ”

"When I think about this now, I feel sorry for Brother Dongkui, because I believed Zhao Wuliang's words at that time, beat Brother Dongkui, and murdered your sister. After a pause, Zhao Gou added.

This sentence was very weighty, and it immediately made Liu Xing know what the grievances between his brother-in-law and Zhao Gou were caused by, and he was about to ask Zhao Wuliang what he said at that time, which intensified the conflict.

Zhao Gou took Zhang Ruoxi's hand and walked into the kitchen to find Liu Dongju.

Liu Xing wanted to go to the kitchen to have a look, but in the end he didn't take action.

Because he heard Zhao Gou and Liu Dongju apologizing outside, and their words were sincere.

Such a scene, to be honest, he didn't expect it, and after smiling, he sat next to Zhang Zhang and Wang Aixiang and chatted casually.

Night fell quietly and inadvertently.

However, the bazaar did not quiet down because of this, but was brightly lit and became more lively. The reason for this situation is that the night market of the bazaar has become popular with department stores.

And at this very moment.

Lao Lu, a truck driver who had bought a lot of goods, came back with two female employees of Hengshui Distillery.

After he put the goods in the passenger cab, he asked Zhang Li with a smile: "Have you negotiated your matter?"

"It's been negotiated. Zhang Zhang looked at the time, and saw that Zhang Ruoxi hadn't come out of the kitchen yet, so he couldn't help but shout: "Ruoxi, can't you go back?" Lao Lu came back after shopping. ”

"Brother, I'm not going back, you go first! I'll sleep with Sister Dongju at night, and take the car back to Hengshui Winery with Liu Xing tomorrow morning. Zhang Ruoxi poked her pretty head out of the kitchen, and after saying a word with a smile, she retracted it.

This made Zhang Zhang that embarrassed, no, they all said that the girl was outward, and he saw it today.

Seeing that there was no need for him to stay, he immediately said to Aunt Zhong, Liu Xing, and Nai Xinru who were present, got up and walked to the big truck on the side of the road with Wang Aixiang.

Walking, walking, he suddenly stopped and asked the driver Lao Lu: "Huh, didn't you bring several female employees of Hengshui Distillery before? Why did only two come back this time?"

"Don't mention it, a figure is gone, it must be a handsome young man from the old housing village who took them to the night market, we don't need to care about them, but when they came, they said it clearly, and they gathered around the big truck after half an hour, you look at the present, who is coming?" Lao Lu pointed to the two female employees in the open-air container with some anger: "I dragged the two of them over." ”

It's very explicit.

The two female employees in the open cargo box lowered their heads in embarrassment.

But in a second, they happily climbed down from the open box and ran away.

"Why are you going?" Lao Lu couldn't help but shout with concern.

"yes! Wang Aixiang shouted.

No one answered them, but the scene on the street was for them to know what was going on.

It turned out that several female employees of Hengshui Distillery who came with them all appeared on the street talking and laughing, and they were accompanied by several young men from the old housing village, among which Zhao Liang and Gouzi were inside.

They saw Zhang Li, Wang Aixiang, and the driver Lao Lu staring at each other, and hurriedly said, "Let's go to Butcher Zhang's house to see the pig killed", and they all ran away.

"How can these young people bring the female employees of Hengshui Distillery to bad like this?" Lao Lu sighed lightly with a headache: "Zhang Li, do we need to report this matter to Lao Li? If something happens, then we are responsible." ”

"This ......" Zhang Li looked at Liu Xing at the door of the shoe store.

After all, from the chat with Aunt Zhong just now.

made him know that this bazaar was Liu Xing's territory.

If something happens, then Liu Xing is afraid that he will not be able to escape the involvement.

"Don't look at me, if you don't worry, you can go to Butcher Zhang's house to have a look. Liu Xing is actually very troubled now, because he really didn't expect the female employees of Hengshui Distillery to be so open, thinking that when he talked to his daughter-in-law before he was reborn, he didn't even hold hands before he got married!

But think about it carefully, the female employees who can work in Hengshui Distillery have seen the world to some extent, so it is actually normal to be able to let go like this, seeing that things can't go on like this, he immediately proposed: "Otherwise, I will take you to Butcher Zhang's house to see, and if possible, call back the female employees of Hengshui Distillery." ”

Even if you want to talk to a young man from an old housing estate, it must at least be justified! Who will be responsible if something happens at that time? Therefore, their behavior must be controlled.

And Zhang Butcher's family is Zhang Jinde's family, this Liu Xing knows very well in his heart.

As soon as these words came out, Zhang Li and Lao Lu both nodded in agreement.

They didn't say anything more, but walked with Liu Xing towards Zhang Jinde's house.

Wang Aixiang didn't go with her, because she wasn't interested in these things and didn't want to get involved.

......

Zhang Jinde's house is an adobe house built against the mountain.

Don't look at the style, but the environment is very good.

There is a large threshing floor at the door, because it is not yet the season of drying the grain, it is overgrown with green grass, shining in the light of the moon.

On the east side of the barn, it was crowded with children and villagers from the old house village.

Among them, several female employees of Hengshui Distillery, as well as Zhao Liang and Gouzi, were inside.

They gathered together, exchanged ears, talked and laughed. Seeing that Butcher Zhang slaughtered a big fat pig on the stairs with a single knife, they all hurriedly took a few steps back.

Several female employees of Hengshui Distillery were even more frightened and pale.

After all, such a bloody scene is usually difficult for them to see.

On the rural road, Liu Xing, Zhang Li, Lao Lu and other young men from the old housing village who rushed to see Zhao Liang and several female employees of Hengshui Distillery were really watching the pig killing, and they couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhang Zhang spoke at this time: "It's really strange, is today a special day for the villagers of Laowu Village?"

In normal times, it is impossible to kill pigs in the countryside.

You can only see it during the New Year's holidays.

"What kind of special day, Butcher Zhang rented a counter selling meat in my department store, this business is good, it is estimated that a pig will be killed every few days!" Liu Xing replied with a smile, and then squeezed into the crowd to watch the excitement.

Seeing this, Zhang Zhang and Lao Lu hurriedly followed.

Zhao Liang, Gouzi and several female employees of Hengshui Distillery saw Liu Xing coming with Zhang Li and Lao Lu, and hurriedly greeted them with smiling faces one by one, but they didn't leave, but watched Butcher Zhang dismember the big fat pig.

Looking at the look in their eyes, it was obvious that they wanted to buy some pork and go back.

After all, in the early 80s, it was a bit difficult to eat a fatty pork meal.

"Yo! Why do you have the spare time to come to me today?" Butcher Zhang, who was busy, accidentally saw Liu Xing, and immediately put down the pig-killing knife in his hand: "If you need pork, just let Chen Hong tell me! There is no need to come to me in person." ”

"I'm just here to stop by, and my main purpose is to catch these two guys. Liu Xing replied with a faint smile, and without waiting for Zhao Liang and the dog to react, he stepped forward and grabbed their ears: "Your wings are hard now, aren't they?

"Boss, boss, light, light!" The dog protected his ears, which was very embarrassed: "You don't have any orders today, can you make your words clearer?"

"Yes, so many people are watching, can you give us some face?" Zhao Liang followed the wolf howl.

When several female employees of Hengshui Distillery saw this, they couldn't help but laugh one by one.

Only then did they know that Liu Xing, a young man, was so powerful that a sentence or two would make the dog and Zhao Liang obedient.

"Give you face?, then who will give us face?" Liu Xing coughed lightly and looked at a few female employees of Hengshui Distillery who were still laughing: "Listen, after buying pork, I will go back with Lao Lu, if I don't listen to the persuasion and encounter any accidents, don't blame me for not warning in advance." ”

"If you want to get along with the young guys in the old housing estate, you have to behave and don't worry about me. After a pause, Liu Xing added.

These words are full of concern, which makes Gouzi, Zhao Liang and other young people in the old housing village very grateful.

Even a few female employees of Hengshui Distillery also had a good impression of Liu Xing, and they blushed at the same time.

In fact, things were not what Liu Xing imagined at all, the reason why they didn't go back to Hengshui Distillery as soon as possible was because Zhao Liang, Gouzi and other young men from the old housing village promised them to ride bicycles back to the rental house after buying pork and visiting the night market.

With so many people together, that's not afraid at all.

Anyway, in a word, the bazaar is not far from Hengshui Distillery.

They won't be stupid enough to stay in the market overnight because they don't have a car!

And most importantly, some of their relatives do business in the bazaar, and they know that the bazaar is very safe, and there will be no robberies from time to time like in the market.

Where did Liu Xing know this inside story, seeing that he was very obedient and no one stood up to refute it, he immediately put down the ears of the dog and Zhao Liang, and came to Butcher Zhang: "Don't be busy, first bring me five portions of two catties of pork belly, I want to give it away." ”

"For whom?" asked the butcher, but the knife in his hand was waving, and in about a minute, five portions of two-pound pork belly were cut out and threaded with rice ropes.

"Who else can I give. Liu Xing lifted a piece of pork belly and gave it to the baby-faced female employee on the side: "Take the meat and go home quickly, don't let your parents worry." ”

Although Hengshui Distillery is a state-owned enterprise, it rarely eats meat in the canteen.

So he knew the thoughts of these female employees, and one of the reasons why they stayed and didn't leave must be to buy some pork to go back. After all, you don't need a ticket and cheap pork, which is rare to see in the vegetable market.

However, what he didn't expect was that the baby-faced female employee took the pork and teased back: "Actually, my uncle is doing business in the market, so you don't have to worry about safety at all." ”

"Huh?" Liu Xing froze.

Dare to love him, this meat is a meat bun and a dog, there is no return!

"Thanks! The baby-faced female employee smiled and put the two yuan in the butcher's hand, turned around and ran away with the pork belly.

"This girl. Butcher Zhang smiled and shook his head.

Liu Xing came back to his senses and had a smile on his face, and he looked at several other female employees: "What about you?

If there is, this pork belly can't be delivered.

Only then did he realize that his worries were unnecessary.

Because these employees of Hengshui Distillery are much more shrewd and sensible than he imagined.

"My cousin is Boss Zhou, who sells coal. A female employee with a melon seed face replied with a smile.

"Is that the boss Zhou who has a black mole on his chin?"

Liu Xing couldn't help but ask.

"Uh-huh. The female employee with a melon seed face nodded continuously.

"Then why are you coming here today?" Liu Xing was a little puzzled.

In normal times, as long as you are familiar with the road to the market, you can also come and play at any time.

After all, the house rented by Boss Zhou is very large, and there is no problem in sleeping one or two more.

"Because when he was repairing the wine filling equipment at the Hengshui Distillery, he said that he invited me to his house to eat braised pork in the evening. The female employee with a melon seed face shyly grabbed a young man's arm.

This young man is Zhao Lei from Laowu Village, and he has a happy expression on his face at this time.

When Liu Xing saw this scene, his eyes widened: "Zhao Lei, you are really good, do you know about dealing with her?"

"I know, I know!" Zhao Lei said: "I took Xiaofang to Boss Zhou's place before, and he also gave me a red envelope of five yuan! Now my parents also know about it." ”

Xiaofang, full name Zhou Xiaofang.

It is the name of a female employee with a melon seed face.

When Liu Xing heard this, he shook his head and sighed that the relationship between men and women in this era is really simple.

As long as you look at each other, you can be together.

Then I don't want any bride price, meeting gift, or three coins.

It's like a few decades later, if you don't have a net worth of hundreds of thousands, you are embarrassed to go out on a blind date.

Seeing that he was also a light bulb in Butcher Zhang's house, he turned to Zhang Li and Lao Lu and said, "Let's go back! Don't stay and waste time." ”

That's what I mean. Zhang Zhang smiled and left with Lao Lu.

Liu Xing originally wanted to say that Zhao Liang and the dog would not have to go to Hengshui Distillery tomorrow to repair the wine filling equipment, but when he thought that so many people were present, he dispelled this idea immediately.

After all, the face that should be given still has to be given.

It's not too late to wait until Village Chief Zhao finds the two of them.

It's not that he doesn't act righteously, it's that these two guys don't go first.

Thinking of this, Liu Xing mentioned a few pieces of pork belly that Butcher Zhang gave him, turned around and caught up with Zhang Zhang and Lao Lu, and disappeared into the night.

......
