People rely on the aid money to live in the courtyard

Chapter 199 The Blue Wolf and the Dog
In the hazy night, the entire sky was gloomy, and the place below was even more unusually dark.

Today's weather is not good, it seems that it is going to snow.

Maybe it portends a good harvest next year, but that's next year, too.

As the end of the new year is approaching, those who have money will naturally wait for the New Year happily, while those who have no money will feel a little impetuous. This year will always be celebrated this year.

The cold winter wind can't suppress the hustle and bustle of people's voices, and the black market is extremely 'lively' these days.

A muscular young man was searching the stalls one by one. He was copying the top pockets of his wide trousers with both hands, as if he was inspecting something.

In the end, Li Hao stopped at a stall. Most of the stalls were bills, and the kerosene lamp on the black cloth stall seemed to be a portable lantern.

Li Hao stood still in front of the stall, staring straight at the stall owner, as if he was looking for trouble.

Such abnormal movements were naturally discovered by the stall owner.

Nie Tongsheng raised his head, taking advantage of the slightly dim light, he already recognized the person in front of him.

"Hey, this isn't our Li Jigong. Why don't you come to my brother's place today when you have time? Why don't you take advantage of the night to collect honey?"

There was a lot of ridicule in the words, Nie Tongsheng looked down on Li Hao a little bit, this person just cared about his usual jokes, with Director Li's relationship, he just bullied women all day long, and he was not good for anything.

When Li Hao heard this, he was so angry that his face jumped, how dare he say it!

He knelt down and said with a gloomy face, "Brother, we usually don't interfere with the water in the well, but it's a bit unreasonable for you to trip up your brother during the Chinese New Year."

Nie Tongsheng was stunned, and the teasing was just teasing. Li Hao has a background, and he didn't want to offend him, but he is not a vegetarian either!

Why do you look like a teacher asking a crime now?

They don't have much contact with each other on weekdays, and at most they can meet each other at night. If they talk about conflicts, that's nonsense.

In this way, Nie Tongsheng's tone was not very good, "Dude, what's wrong with you? Want to come and talk to my brother?"

Li Hao's face trembled twice again, this time he was frightened.

On one side he was threatened and came to ask, but on the other side he acted like a fool.

Whenever there is a transaction, there is moisture in it.

Being able to manage the black market through the back door, the background designation is very strict, and the methods are also ruthless, much better than him as a job recorder in the Temporary Academy.

What's more, as if he heard such a movement, two black figures came indistinctly behind the stall.

The situation is stronger than others, Li Hao smiled and gave in, "How could I challenge Brother Nie? This is impossible! It's just that my duck flew away, so you can give me an explanation."

Nie Tongsheng smiled playfully, "Let me just say, it's a dark day to do business, and ordinary people can't figure out this way. I thought you were going to touch me."

Li Hao quickly responded: "I can't, you are ironware, I am porcelain, how can I touch you! I didn't think about it, you appointed the door to clear up what happened tonight, so I came here to ask you something Son."

At this moment, he also recognized the situation clearly, and he couldn't get tough with these people in front of him.

"That's right."

Nie Tongsheng nodded, very satisfied with this man's attitude, then he lifted the kerosene lamp while holding the lamp pole in front of him, and tapped his index finger on the wooden pole.

Li Hao's eyelids trembled again, is this to follow the rules?

This time he came to question the crime, even if he couldn't afford it, he couldn't afford to pay for it, otherwise he would be a little cowardly, it would be too embarrassing, how could he stand up straight after this.

"Brother Nie, in our relationship, if you still play like this, isn't that hurting your feelings?"

Nie Tongsheng didn't force it either, and lazily put down the light pole, "We buddies also have friendship, let's forget it this time, tell me, which one did you sing with me? I don't have any girls here. Sniff Honey, you can't smell me here."

Li Hao pretended not to hear the other party's sarcasm, and said bluntly: "Brother Nie, we are all buddies, isn't it a little bad for you to tell me about my going out at night?"

The lights are dark on weekdays, except for these people who are active at night all the year round, who else would know that he comes out at night?
It was still in the past two months, and he didn't meet any acquaintances at night, only had a face-to-face with people in the black market.

Nie Tongsheng sneered, and said disdainfully: "Come out to play with women, get dirty, and in the end, you still blame me for coming here, I don't have time to meddle in your shit."

Isn't it?
Li Hao carefully looked at Nie Tongsheng's expression, glanced at the tall and thin third child and the fierce fifth child behind him without any trace, and said in a deep voice: "Since it's not the wind from your side, then Yi from the No. 43 compound How did Chuanzong know? This grandson has spoiled the matter for me! He also threatened me fucking!"

Hearing this name, Nie Tongsheng's eyes instantly tightened.

The soft ones are afraid of the hard ones, the hard ones are afraid of the horizontal ones, and the horizontal ones are afraid of the deadly ones.

They can stand firm in the night of these forty-nine cities in this line of work. The background is tough and the people are tyrannical. There are few people who are afraid. Veterans like Cyclops count as one, and Yi Chuanzong, who is strong and brave, is counted. One.

It's hard for him to forget this kind of character, not to mention that the other party always comes here to visit, and every time he makes big purchases, he can be regarded as their patron.

Behind, the tall and thin youngest in the black market shuddered suddenly, and looked at Li Hao with a trace of pity in his eyes.

That person's skill is still fresh in his memory. He didn't see anyone in the past at night, and he ran silently with such a heavy body, and he brought something with him.

Just this guy who is shaking his prestige under the quilt wants to have a touch with that one?I don't even know if I'm being targeted.

A while ago, they made a set together to deal with Xu Damao. They originally dragged a person with [-] to [-] yuan, but this will make him clean the toilet and be fired from work, and people walk with their heads down. Looks like a happy spring breeze?
Declining like this, I don't even know that I have been calculated.This guy in front of him is probably not far from bad luck.

The third child couldn't help but say, "You come to us today, it's considered..." 'You found the right one.You shouldn't have messed with the girls in that courtyard. '

The third child didn't say the latter, because Nie Tongsheng over there abruptly raised his hand and stopped.

Li Hao was listening carefully, when he suddenly disappeared, he looked at Nie Tongsheng suspiciously, "Brother Nie, are you going to have an explanation?"

Nie Tongsheng's eyes flickered and he chuckled, "It's the right thing for you to come to us. Although this matter has nothing to do with us, I probably know how you got caught by the tail."

Li Hao was overjoyed when he heard it, and it would be much easier to deal with it if he had nothing to do with these guys from the black market, "You said, since it has nothing to do with Brother Nie, then let's follow the rules. Before, I was afraid that the flood would wash up the Dragon King Temple, but now I'm relieved."

Nie Tongsheng chuckled, "We're all buddies, it's fine if you mean it, I'll talk to you about it today."

"Hey, you're talking, I'm listening." Li Hao responded quickly.

Nie Tongsheng nodded, "You should have heard about this guy. He eats ten catties of rice for a meal, and the food stamps issued by the government are not enough."

"This guy often comes here to buy food stamps on weekdays. He saw you when he was picking flowers and sniffing honey. Don't look at his size, his strength is fine. Be careful when you walk, and you will find out No!"

When Li Hao heard this, his expression suddenly changed, and he slapped his thigh suddenly. He said with some annoyance: "This thief, who is trying his best to pretend to be a wolf with a big tail, I was almost killed by him!" Bluffed!"

Scolding is nothing but scolding, a worker is easy to deal with, and Li Hao feels at ease if he can take revenge.

"Brother Nie, I'm thankful to you today, otherwise I still can't figure it out. Your lord doesn't remember the faults of villains, so I'll give you this number, and what's left is my brother's apology."

Nie Tongsheng looked at the ticket handed over, and said cheerfully: "We are all brothers, of course we have to help each other, you are too polite."

While stretching out his hand to take it, he looked at it, Da Hei Ten, this is easy to recognize.

Nie Tongsheng put his hands in his pockets, "I'm not going to lie to my brother, every time this grandson comes to my place to exchange tickets, he is appointed to hug me to clean up. If there is no stock here, what can I do? There are very few people coming to my place." Already! There are fewer people and you still earn money?"

"But I'm following the rules here. He's serious about exchanging tickets. He has a loud voice, so it's not easy for me to drive people away. But the business is indeed affected, and I feel uncomfortable."

"However, for a worker like him, it's not worth asking someone to punish him. I heard that your brother-in-law is going to be promoted in the rolling mill, but the relationship is right at the door. If you treat him well, it can be regarded as a reward for the brother." Tone. It would be the best if I could get rid of him. If I eat ten catties for a meal, why not eat him to death? I don’t know how much business has been delayed for me.”

"Sure! Sure! Can I make him relax?"

After hearing this, Li Hao felt relieved. Thinking of his uncle, he naturally looked proud.

Nie Tongsheng and him exchanged a few words back and forth, and made some polite remarks, and Li Haole walked away leisurely, not noticing the strange expression on the third child's face at all.

It wasn't until Li Hao walked away that the third child said, "Boss, are you planning to deal with that evil star?"

Nie Tongsheng's eyelids trembled, and his face became extremely distorted.

"Pang Yufu's grandson is not a real thief. We didn't lose his share when we were here. The old uncle over there became an official. He came over and didn't take the dirty money when he was idle. He was good. Before he left, all the embarrassing things he did to the brothers Shake it out."

"Now everyone on the road knows that I, Qinglang, was slapped in the eye, and was beaten into a dog with a stick. I knelt on the ground and had to wag my tail."

"He thinks I can't do anything when I'm gone. He really thinks I'm a fool? Grandma! Just wait, if I don't tear off a piece of meat for him, let him come back on his knees and beg me!"

The third child and the fifth child were also resentful, and they were the ones who were ashamed. Everything was trivial, and they were not afraid to talk about things that were unfounded, but if this person lost face, they would not be able to pick it up.

After a while of silence, the third child said in a low voice, "We really want to deal with that bad guy?"

Nie Tongsheng's pupils constricted suddenly. If possible, he would certainly not want to provoke this guy.

There are many things that he bowed his head to, but as a worker in a steel rolling mill, he was almost in every way.

It is not as majestic and meritorious as a leader, not as iron-blooded as a soldier, and not as powerful as a factory's armed forces.

If the three situations accounted for one aspect, it wouldn't be a shame that he bowed his head. Living in these four or nine cities, who can really not bow his head?

A slightly stronger worker, still an individual, would be viewed as a joke by outsiders, of course he would feel humiliated, and would regard the incident as hatred.

"You are wrong. We are not going to deal with him, but Li Hao is going to deal with him. What does the matter between the two of them have to do with us?"

The third child and the fifth child looked at each other, then nodded suddenly, this matter has nothing to do with them, if they can't resist it, they won't find it.

Counseling is cowardly, fear is fear, this hate is not lacking at all.

After being beaten at that time, apart from Nie Tongsheng, the boss, the fifth child who held an iron rod, and the third child who carried bricks, these two were beaten the hardest and hated the most in their hearts.

……

the following afternoon.

"Yo, grandpa, have you come back from the village?"

As soon as Yi Chuanzong's family arrived at the gate of the courtyard, the third master over there greeted them.

"Three masters."

"Three masters."

Three of the four responded happily, but Lou Xiao'e's complexion was a little strange, and her voice was a little muffled.

The Eldest Master happily replied: "Third Master, nothing happened in our yard today, right?"

"It's just in time for you to come back. A notice came from the street today, asking us to queue up to collect the New Year's goods tomorrow. I was wondering if you would stay in the village for a day. It would be a bit troublesome if you came back tomorrow."

At this time, peanuts and melon seeds are distributed on the streets according to the family during the Chinese New Year.

The three-year famine produced little, and these peanuts and melon seeds were high demand. It was difficult for the big leaders to order wine at the whole time, and the amount of entertaining foreign guests was very scarce, and only a few were given out during the Chinese New Year.

According to the ration, each household will be supplied with half a catty of peanuts (including the skin) and 2 taels of melon seeds (cooked), which are a whole in the courtyard.

The old man replied directly: "There is nothing in the house in the village. It's too cold to stay there at night, so I just came back that day. Since the street said that we should go to pick up the New Year's goods tomorrow, let's go tomorrow according to the above." Tell us to hold a meeting, and everyone can discuss how to spend this year."

The third master nodded in response, and he tentatively reminded: "You see, it's almost the Chinese New Year, and our households are not allowed to post couplets or anything..."

The old man was immediately happy when he heard it, "Third old man is thoughtful, I was still thinking about it yesterday, why don't you write couplets this year? After all, you are the only one in our yard with this skill. Now you are finally thinking about it. Woke up."

"There's no problem with this matter. It's the New Year's Eve, and it's designated not to be forgotten." The third master was happier to hear the compliment, and then his expression gradually became stiff, and he seemed a little embarrassed and said, "These couplets pen, ink, paper and inkstone..."

"Hey, third master, everyone will give you a small amount of money for your pen, even if you don't give money, you can give me something else, how can you make it for nothing?" The first master agreed.

The third master was very happy. He looked at the four of them with a smile, and finally stopped on Lou Xiaoe. After a little hesitation, he said, "What's wrong with the daughter-in-law of the family? Are you not used to taking the bus?"

Yi Chuanzong rolled his eyes, and if he didn't tell the truth, why did he still take his words?

Originally, he wanted to wait until he got home to ask, but before he got home, he was asked somersault by the third master, which ruined the relationship between the two of them, didn't they!
"The water in the village is harder, Xiao'e is not very used to drinking it."

The third master also saw that something was wrong, so he didn't ask carefully.

After taking the key from the uncle's house, the old couple didn't say anything.

All the way back to the courtyard, after Yi Chuanzong opened the door, he hurried to the stove, opened the sealed stove with an iron hook, looked down into the honeycomb, and could still see the sparks inside.

"Great, daughter-in-law, our stove is still on, and I will roast sweet potatoes for you later."

After finishing speaking, Yi Chuanzong hurriedly and carefully placed the top briquette on the edge of the iron stove, and then took out the burnt briquettes one by one without any damage in the middle.

Lou Xiaoe watched him busy there, pouting and sitting on the chair next to the iron stove, and said dissatisfiedly: "The folks in your village don't like me. The expression is so weird. Who can you show it to?"

When I went back to the village today, the people in the village were very happy to see Lao Yi's family back. When Lou Xiao'e was introduced, Village Chief Fang's expression changed instantly.

The villagers all thought that Sister Hua was Yi Chuanzong's daughter-in-law. This person was taken into the city, but within a few months, another woman was brought back to be his wife during the Chinese New Year. This was unacceptable to the people in the village. .

Fortunately, the village leaders were there at the time, and the villagers were puzzled, but this New Year's Eve must not cause trouble for other people's families. Before the villagers asked, the leaders directly suppressed the matter.

But if the people in the village didn't say anything, it didn't mean that Lou Xiao'e couldn't feel it. She wasn't in a very high spirits today. She kindly went back to see the villagers, but in the end she didn't get blessings, but instead made her feel suspicious and depressed.

Yi Chuanzong changed the briquettes calmly, and said casually: "Maybe it's too cold? Everyone's faces are so red from the cold, and they are reluctant to burn charcoal until night."

At this point, he paused for a moment, turned his head and looked dazed, "This village is only a hundred kilometers apart. There is a real difference in living conditions between the two sides, and the gap in thinking is not small."

"You said that there are quite a few educated and knowledgeable people living next to their family members in this city. There are so many new things in the city, and it looks very prosperous. I have been here for a long time, and I have learned a lot without knowing it. Got a lot of things."

"It's different in this village. Everyone is pretty much the same, that is, a few teachers are educated, and the rest of the literacy is good enough to know two characters. Those who usually face the loess with their backs to the sky don't need to learn so many new things. This idea It’s a few years behind.”

"But it doesn't matter. When we go back next year, we will be happy to go back with a big boy in our arms. The people in this village recognize this."

After finishing speaking, Yi Chuanzong nodded in affirmation, then turned his head to continue changing the honeycomb, and his mouth was not idle.

"The life in this village is hard, and this person is a bit self-reliant, but they are also quite cute, they put everything on their faces, and you can tell whether they are happy or not at a glance."

"We are also developing rapidly here, and when life gets better in the future, their thinking will change a little bit, but some older people will still slow down, and the younger ones will also be affected. Human ratio."

"Use your brain to find the right way to communicate with them. It feels awkward for you to think clearly about some things. They don't mean it at all. You smart people are sulking, aren't you looking for guilt? We have 6 million people, and there is a [-] million Most of them are peasants. You see so many peasants in a year, are you still angry? I still look beautiful when you are happy."

"The crops in this village will be ripe in a few months. They are used to seeing so far, their eyes are a little shallow, and they pay more attention to the immediate interests, and they are straightforward. If the development is too fast, they will not be able to accept it. Later, you I still have to be angry, I don’t want to feel bad!”

"oops!"

"alright, alright!"

"Stop nagging! You like teaching me every day!"

Lou Xiaoe shook her arms angrily, and looked at him with a raised face, "Don't interrupt!"

"Say!"

"Is it related to the blind date in your village!"

"I didn't see that woman when we went back to the village this time. You took me to wander around. Look at my clothes are covered in dirt, and there are two dead grass leaves on them. You gave me back Wipe a handful of dust, it's really annoying!"

Lou Xiaoe's timing was very good, no matter how slow the replacement of the honeycomb was, there would be a time when the replacement was finished, and when Yi Chuanzong had no work to do, he began to ask questions.

No way.

Yi Chuanzong could only sit next to his daughter-in-law, stretching his arms around Xiaoman's waist, starting with a big padded jacket.

He leaned over and sniffed the clothes, "It doesn't smell bad, just wash it in a few years and it will be fine."

Lou Xiao'e turned around and yelled ferociously, "You interrupted again! I mean why did you let me hide?"

Yi Chuanzong's face was a little dazed, "What did I take you to hide?"

Lou Xiao'e pouted and said dissatisfiedly, "Why don't you hide from that woman!"

Yi Chuanzong's eyelids couldn't help but twitched, he didn't mean that at all.But gagging is still very useful, this daughter-in-law is not as angry and serious as before.

In fact, Sister Hua is fine in the city, not in the village at all, and they don't have to hide at all.

He was hiding from the folks in the village, and it was a matter of taking Lou Xiao'e back. The folks saw the appointment and had to ask a few questions.

When I went back later, the news spread in the village, and I had already finished what I needed to talk about, and I accepted it in my heart. Naturally, I didn't have so many words, and Lou Xiao'e would not be stimulated by words.

Yi Chuanzong's face was a little silent.

Lou Xiaoe stared at him closely, and the more she looked at him, the more flustered she felt.

Apart from playing around, my man seldom shows his face, but those times are just pretending, now you can feel a kind of gloom with a sullen face, could it be that you are really angry?
She couldn't help thinking about it, the two of them usually work and live together, and Yi Chuanzong also dotes on her very much, changing ways to adjust her mentality and make her happy every day.

That is to say, I only go back during the Chinese New Year. That woman has long since become a thing of the past. After returning to the village, it is inevitable. It seems that she shouldn't keep chasing her. Maybe he is afraid of embarrassment?
Now Lou Xiao'e regretted it a bit, she shouldn't lose her temper and ask random questions.

After pondering for a long time, Yi Chuanzong spoke leisurely, "I just want to tell you about my previous life, that is my life in the village, I want to share with you my past and the things I like, they used to make me Very happy and unforgettable.”

Lou Xiao'e quickly nodded obediently, and took the initiative to lie in Yi Chuanzong's arms with a crooked body.

The daughter-in-law leaned over to hug her, of course, Yi Chuanzong rubbed his chin against Lou Xiaoe's little head with his head sideways, he felt relieved.

The Chinese New Year is over!
There is no need to say some things, and Lou Xiaoe may not like to hear the truth.The life of the couple is not a war, so there is no need to be serious, what are you doing to make the atmosphere so tense?
In fact, when he went back, he was also beating drums in his heart.

If he was stopped and asked questions in the village, too many things would be exposed, and Lou Xiao'e would not be able to blow up by then.

He heard some words in his heart, but it was not so smooth. Even if there were no omissions in the lies, he would be chased and tempted for several months. If there were omissions, how would he cover them?

"I'll bake sweet potatoes for you in a while, not as a staple food, but as a snack. I think sweet potatoes are still very fragrant!"

"Hmm! I want to eat the ones with yellow skin."

"Okay, whichever one you like, I will bake whichever one. I also think the yellow-skinned one is better, and the red-skinned one is delicious for making sweet potato paste."

"Right, that is it."

After speaking, Lou Xiao'e raised her small face, agreeing in their opinions, and the two looked at each other and smiled.

The couple roasted sweet potatoes and chatted while eating.

"Wang! Wang! Wang!"

"Wang! Wang! Wang!"

Hearing the barking of the dog, Lou Xiaoe was stunned for a moment, the sound was very close, it was barking in the yard!
She turned her head and said dissatisfiedly: "You are asked to feed others often, look, your little friend is here!"

The corner of Yi Chuanzong's mouth twitched, and he said with some dissatisfaction: "How do you talk? What is my partner?"

Lou Xiaoe rolled her eyes and bent her legs to take a bite of sweet potatoes. She muttered indistinctly, "Didn't you say that yourself? Dogs are the most loyal companions of human beings."

Yi Chuanzong bared his teeth, "Is that what you mean?"

Lou Xiao'e snickered, and turned her head to indicate, "Anyway, they are here to find you, so you can figure it out."
