Chapter 112: The Loser Spends Big
An hour later.
"Liu Xing, is Liu Xing at home?" A familiar shout came from the gate.
"It's here!" Liu Xing heard the voice and knew that it was Xie Shitou, so he hurriedly walked out of the backyard and came to the gate.
The gate was quite lively at this time, with no less than 100 people coming.
Most of them are villagers from old housing villages, and there are also many people who have been brought by Xie Lion's head.
Among them, Zhou Silkworm from the blacksmith shop, Boss Zhong from the grain and oil store, and Aunt Li from the tailor shop are all inside.
When Liu Xing saw this posture, he smiled and even quipped: "Did the sun come out of the west today, why did you all come to my sister's place one by one?"
"Come and see you!" Xie Shishi stepped forward and patted Liu Xing's shoulder, with a smile in his eyes: "But seriously, I really want to thank you this time." ”
"Yes, thank you for giving Zhao Gou that thirty yuan, otherwise his mother would have died in the hospital. Boss Zhong followed and said.
The reason why he stood up and spoke was because Zhong Ping was his sister.
This gave money to help Zhao Gou, and it actually helped him.
"That's a trivial matter, why thank me, what you really want to thank is the old doctor who saw Zhao Gou's mother's illness. Liu Xing, who didn't know the inside story, replied modestly.
"We are here to find this old Chinese medicine doctor. Xie Shitou looked around: "By the way, what about his old man's family?"
"I don't know, since the last time Zhao Gou's mother happened, he has lived in Village Chief Wang's house. Liu Xing replied.
Zhao Hu, who was covered with tiles on the roof, interjected when he heard this: "Old Xie is seeing a doctor at the village chief's house! Don't you know, when I came here in the morning, I saw a queue at the door of the village chief Zhao. ”
"Really? I'll have to go over and have a look. Zhao Hu's words aroused Xie Shitou's curiosity, and after giving Liu Xing thirty yuan, he led a group of people to wait, and walked towards Village Chief Zhao's house in a swarm.
It comes and goes as fast as it comes.
In the blink of an eye, it disappeared into the road.
Liu Xing knew that the thirty yuan given by Xie Shitou was paid back for Zhao Gou.
After smiling, he put it away, and didn't think about anything else.
For him, as long as Zhao Gou's mother Zhong Ping is fine, it doesn't matter if he doesn't pay back the money.
At least he didn't come back again, so he had a different weight in Xie Shitou's heart.
Just as I was about to go back and continue making shoes, my parents arrived on their bicycles.
They were followed by their aunt's family of three and their third uncle's family of four.
The fifth uncle's family also came, walking at the end, with firecrackers and two local chickens in their hands.
Seeing that Zhao Dongkui's adobe house had become an atmospheric blue brick house, it was shocking that he couldn't walk on the road.
Liu Dazhao was also a little surprised, although he had long heard that Zhao Dongkui's adobe house had collapsed and was going to be rebuilt, he really didn't expect it to be rebuilt so well.
Seeing Liu Xing looking at them with a smile on the side, he walked over: "Stinky boy, did you spend all your money on your eldest sister's house?"
He is not afraid of taboos, nor is he afraid of Liu Dongju's presence.
After all, he can't do such a 'loser's big deal.
Even in the entire Zhangmu Township, no one dares to do this now.
"No, it probably cost about two hundred! These bricks, as well as the trees on the beams, are all old, and they didn't cost much at all. Liu Xing replied half-concealedly.
"That's it!" Liu Dazhao breathed a sigh of relief, and he didn't doubt it.
Seeing that the roof tiles had not yet been covered, he rolled up his sleeves and climbed up the stairs to help get started.
Liu Xing's third uncle 'Liu Dazhu' and fifth uncle 'Liu Deqi' also followed.
After discovering that the style of this blue brick bungalow is very novel and the structure is also very reasonable, I can't help but be secretly surprised.
thought it was from Zhao Hu's handwriting, so they didn't ask much.
But in the end, after building the earthen tiles, I learned that the structural design of this bungalow came from Liu Xinghou.
The two of them were no longer calm, and went down to the roof to talk to Liu Xing.
But he found that Liu Xing was too busy to do it, and was discussing with Village Chief Zhao about setting up a banquet at night.
They had no choice but to disperse and wander around the market.
And Liu Dazhao and Zhou Qiuxiang didn't have such a good life, they went into the kitchen, killed chickens and ducks, and were so busy that they didn't even have time to drink water.
When melon seeds, Xiao Budian, and Zhao Jing saw this scene, they clapped their little hands and laughed on the side, after all, such a big scene is rare to see a few times a year.
As time fell, evening crept in.
The afterglow of the setting sun sprinkled on the land of the old housing estate, dyeing the entire old housing village golden.
The newly built blue brick bungalows are no exception, and under the sunshine, they have become the most eye-catching buildings in the old housing estate.
The rural cooperatives not far away, compared with the blue brick bungalows, fell into existence in an instant.
It's not the height of the building, it's not the materials used in the building.
Rather, it is the atmospheric style of the blue brick bungalows, which has made the rural cooperatives bleak in the market.
At this moment, the sound of crackling firecrackers rang out.
Break the tranquility of the old housing estate.
The Zhao family who heard the sound of firecrackers.
Many of them went to Zhao Dongkui's house with their families.
After a while.
No less than fifty people gathered at the gate of Zhao Dongkui's house.
That is, it takes about five or six tables to sit down.
But all this Village Chief Zhao had already prepared.
Because he is familiar with the genealogy of the Zhao family, he knows how many people in the Zhao family have a relationship with the Zhao Dongkui family.
It's just that in the end, when I was seated, the banquet was still less.
As for the reason, Xie Shitou brought Zhong Jun, the owner of the grain and oil store, Zhou Silkworm, the owner of the blacksmith shop, and Aunt Li of the tailor shop, to join in the fun, and gave Zhao Dongkui a big gift.
Each of them is thirty dollars.
Don't underestimate the thirty dollars.
In the early eighties.
It's almost a month's salary for a worker in the factory.
This was taken out as a gift to Zhao Dongkui, undoubtedly for Liu Xing's sake.
Otherwise, they wouldn't be so bold.
Of course, this made Zhao Dongkui a little flattered.
made Liu Dongju also a little uneasy.
After all, it is not good to collect the money of a local overlord like Zhao Gou.
But if you don't accept it, I'm afraid it's not good.
In the end, I had no choice but to stop thinking about it and let things develop.
Under the expectation of children such as melon seeds, Xiao Budian, and Zhao Jing, the banquet finally started.
The dishes that appear most on the table are naturally pork-based.
After all, Zhao Dongkui's family just killed the big fat pig not long ago, and there is a lot of pork inventory in the house.
As for the other dishes, there are chicken, duck, and fish.
There is also the head bowl, which is essential.
Such a sumptuous banquet was rare in the countryside in the early eighties.
After all, the people are not very rich.
Zhao Dongkui's family can take a shot.
Naturally, Liu Xing is behind him.
The eating and drinking ended quietly as night fell.
The Zhao family, who came to congratulate Zhao Dongkui, went back one by one satisfied after eating and drinking, and filling a bowl of dishes with a rice bowl.
Of course, the rice bowls they took back will definitely be sent back as soon as possible, after all, they all live around the market, and it doesn't take long to come and go.
Xie Shitou and his people did not leave for the first time.
Instead, he waited until all the Zhao family members were almost gone, and then walked to Liu Xing's side: "Brother, the elder brother will discuss something with you, do you have time to listen?"
"Yes!" Liu Xing, who was eating, replied with a smile.
"Then you come with me. Xie Shitou reached out and patted Liu Xing's shoulder, and took the lead towards the grapefruit tree.
Liu Xing followed behind while eating.
"I went to see Xie Zhongquan before, and I talked to him a lot about medical issues, and I was shocked that he knew everything, said everything, learned everything, and knew how to use methods. Xie Shishi looked at Liu Xing with a solemn gaze: "I really want to leave him to benefit the people of Zhangmu Township, but he politely refused." ”
"As for the reason, he said that he was leaving the bazaar and going to his relatives. After a pause, Xie Shitou continued: "But I see the meaning of his words, and he has some nostalgia for the old housing village, especially for you, I think...... Can you come forward and help him stay at his old man's house?"
"Zhangmu Township, and even the entire HY City, really need an old Chinese medicine doctor like him!" After speaking, Xie Shitou sighed lightly.
"I can't keep his old man, he's a dragon trapped in a shallow stream, and sooner or later he will return to the vast sea. Liu Xing put the chopsticks in his hand on the stone table beside him: "But it's not hopeless, you have to do it yourself." ”
"What do you mean by that?" Xie Shitou was puzzled.
"The bazaar where his old man wandered to before, and he also had his granddaughter Lan Lan by his side, the inside story is definitely not simple, imagine what kind of things can make his old man so down?" Liu Xing reminded.
"You mean that you want me to investigate Xie Zhongqiang's past, and then use some of these key factors to keep him in the market?" Xie Shitou asked as Liu Xing said.
Besides, you don't know the details of his old man's family, how dare you leave his old man in the market with confidence?" Liu Xing asked with a light smile.
"Yes. Xie Shitou laughed.
"That's right!" Xie Shitou glanced at the surrounding environment and whispered: "I am about to be promoted, if nothing else, I will be the head of Zhangmu Township next month, there is something I have to help you with." ”
