1979 The Life of Idle Fish

Chapter 20 Hou Ming
"Which second-rate store is this? I bought two cars of broken furniture."

"Deep among the flowers, that boy from the Luo family,
Speak softly. What about your grandson’s black hands? "

"Oh! It's him! Then he's dark enough."

A few people who didn't know anything asked: "He? What's wrong? Could you please tell me?"

"Hey! This kid is not bad at all. He is number one in fights. Who knows this in West City? He has a good brain. No gangster on the street dares to mess with him. He was also considered number one back then."

"Then what you said is not bad," someone echoed
Let's go, let's go, what are you talking about!Play chess, play chess.

"Damn it, where's my cart and horse?"

"Do it again, do it again, this doesn't count, that kid Du Luo Tao is too eye-catching, it caused me to make a wrong move"

"Hi! You're a bad chess player, it's my fault that your hands are smelly"

…………

"Brother, your family is quite wealthy!" Hou Ming looked at the house from a distance and glanced at the door, feeling extremely envious.

"It's okay, it's all due to the virtues accumulated by our ancestors," Luo Tao said modestly.

After getting out of the car, he went to open the door. Hou Ming called the cart to come in. The two of them cooperated very well.

As soon as he entered the courtyard, Hou Ming's eyes lit up. What kind of family is this?

I had heard before that this ancestor was also the number one figure in Liulichang, but I didn't expect that he had such a strong background.

"Brother, your family has produced noble people!"

Luo Tao wanted to spit in his face, noble man, where is your concubine?
"No, no, if I buy someone else's house, it should be an official's house."

The two of them had nothing to say, so they asked the cart puller to put the things in the other two rooms of the back room (the house will be called the south room from now on), and then take the sundries inside to the wing room (utility room, The other is the kitchen).

Asking Hou Ming to greet them, he went into the house and made a pot of high moss herbal tea to quench their thirst.

After finishing it, put the pot and four cups on the tray, take it out and put it on the small table.I also went to help and supervise the work.

I have been busy for more than two hours, handling and putting away the serious ones in one room and the less serious ones in another.

"Okay, it's done. Thank you for your hard work. We have nothing to entertain you. Come and have some tea to quench your thirst." Luo Tao poured tea for the three of them very politely.

A dark and thin man said: "You are too polite."

"Yes, it is"

The other one looked awkward, not sure if they were brothers or something.

Luo Tao thought of something and asked him: "Do you know there is a man with a weird temper named Zhang? He also pulls a cart."

Still the thin one answered: "I have an impression that I always work at the Friendship Store. I don't know about the rest. If you want to know, I can help you find out."

When Luo Tao heard this, he became even more curious about this person and said, "Well, if you dare to love me, I will give you more time and effort on this matter."

After chatting for a while, they paid the bill and gave them an extra two yuan, saying that they were being invited to smoke.

The two of them didn't accept it at first, and they only paid three yuan for a job. Although they helped inquire about something, they paid for the errands before they even showed up, and smoking didn't cost that much.

The three of them pushed it back several times, but finally accepted it, promising to send it as soon as there was any news.

Send two people away.

Luo Tao and Hou Ming were the only ones left in the courtyard. Seeing that nothing happened, Hou Ming was about to say goodbye and leave.

Luo Tao can let him go. Such a good brother, it would be a shame for him not to win over him.

I insisted on keeping him at home for a meal.

I looked at the time and it was time for my parents to come back.

It is said that Cao Cao has arrived and Cao Cao has arrived, and he will live up to every encounter.

"Dad, Mom, I'm back."

"Well, why did you leave work so early today?"

"Oh, I'll come back early if I have something to do. I forgot to introduce you, this is the young marquis from my unit, Hou Ming."

Su Guilan rolled her eyes at him and said, "You are so young that you are called Xiaohou.

Xiao Hou!Don't be polite when you come to my house, just have a good chat with me," he said to Luo Tao again
Hou Ming was very obedient and said with a smile: "Hello, aunt. You can also call me Xiao Hou."

He also called out to Luo Shaoyi, "Hello, uncle." Oh, hello to you, everyone.

I went to cook, and the men sat under the grape trellis and chatted. After chatting for a while, Luo Tao went out on his bicycle.

Go buy some cooked peanuts and come back and eat a few cups. Men cannot talk about relationships without drinking peanuts.

I went to several places to get everything together and hurried home again.

Su Guilan's meal was ready when she got home.

Three people mingled with each other at the dinner table
I didn’t drink too much. It was the first time for Xiao Mingzi to come here. She was afraid that she would make a fool of herself if she drank too much. The second time there were elders at the dinner table who drank too much and left a bad impression.

Luo Tao was also worried about what he would do if he drank too much and couldn't find it when he came here for the first time.

After drinking for more than two hours, it was almost done.

Hou Ming said goodbye and left, and Luo Tao was sent to the door.

"Brother, are you okay!"

"It's okay, brother, please go back! I can go home, don't worry."

I saw him get into the car and leave the alley safely.

Luo Tao knew that nothing was wrong, so he went back and fastened the door bolt.

"Is the child okay? Where is he from?"

Luo Shaoyi asked

"It's okay, it's very safe. I saw people leaving the alley, over there in Xidan. I didn't ask about the specific location."

"When will your unit recruit people again?"

"Oh, at the beginning of the year, that's when he entered."

"Did you buy the broken furniture in the two rooms in the south room?" Su Guilan asked in a strong tone.

"That was brought from my work this afternoon. It cost less than [-] yuan. I got it back because it looked good."

Luo Tao didn't dare to tell the truth, so he lowered the price by half.

"Look at what you said, it's less than two hundred yuan, you really think of yourself as a kid from a rich family.

Do you still care about your son? "Su Guilan asked while putting pressure on Luo Shaoyi.

He said calmly: "What do you want me to say about him? He is 23 years old, not a child, and he didn't spend any of your money.

It’s not a bad purchase, it’s all good wood.”

Su Guilan held back, "How do you have so much money?"

Then he asked his father, "Is what you said true? Didn't you lose money?"

She just asked if it was a loss, and didn't ask about the last sentence of "good wood".

She also suffered from culture, dropped out of school without even graduating from elementary school, and was poisoned by patriarchy.As long as she was in a girls' middle school, she is definitely a small character now.

The old man nodded repeatedly. Although he didn't know which one was Ming and which was Qing furniture, it didn't prevent him from knowing good wood.

This is the benefit of studying for a few more years, and it also has something to do with family.

“I bought it with my saved salary, and I didn’t spend it recklessly. Didn’t my dad also say that I didn’t make a loss on the purchase?
Find a skilled master tomorrow and make a leisure chair for you, so you don't have to fight with my dad anymore."

After Su Guilan heard these words, she didn't know what to think. She just said: "Then you should take some time, you and I are impatient."

"Mom, I promised you that if you are in a hurry, you can't chop it for me to light the fire," Luo Tao still warned.

"Are you really stupid for thinking your mother is that?" Su Guilan tapped Luo Tao's forehead several times with her hand.

"Hey! I knew you were not an ordinary person, Mom." Compliments must be given.

"I don't need you to tell me that the whole street knows it." I'm so proud.

My mother, Su Guilan, is really getting cuter and cuter.
