Go back to the prosperous days and become a layman

Chapter 247 Chapter 246 Caught

Early the next morning, the sky showed no signs of clearing up, but the rain became much lighter.

Tang Zhitong got up, washed up, had breakfast, and went to the water station to pick up two buckets of water.

"Good morning, Uncle Zhu. Have you eaten?" It rained on the weekend and no one came to carry water. Uncle Zhu stood alone at the water station like his only remaining eyeball.

"Eat. Are the vegetables in the yard okay?" Uncle Zhu squatted in the hut and greeted Tang Zhitong.

"Thanks to you, it's not a big problem." Tang Zhitong turned on the faucet, looked around and saw no one around, and asked: "Uncle Zhu, how is the water ticket issue?"

"Hey, it's impossible to count on consultation. There's no conclusion after so many days. It's been so dry and it rained just this year. I want to give it a try and see if I can save some water." Uncle Zhu showed his head. , also confirmed that there was no one around, and then whispered to Tang Zhitong.

"That is a good thing that benefits the country and the people, and my family will definitely be the first to support it." Tang Zhitong had expected this outcome from the beginning. Delegating decision-making power to the public in everything, things like this that are related to vital interests, will happen in a year or two. Maybe it can't be discussed, and someone will always jump out to object.

"Thank you, I have to express my gratitude." Uncle Zhu looked old-fashioned and bowed his hands to Tang Zhitong.

"You're welcome, we've been neighbors for many years. The water is full, I'll see you later." Tang Zhitong cupped his hands, turned off the faucet, and carried the bucket home.

Tang Zhitong went to fetch water twice more, and now people were fetching water one after another. He just listened to the others talking about their home affairs without interrupting.

On the last trip, Tang Zhitong replaced one of the buckets with mountain spring water.

"Mom, while it's still raining, I'll go there again and pick up some beetles." Tang Zhitong poured another bucket into the water tank, planning to continue using this bucket to collect beetles.

"Okay, go ahead. Come back soon. If you don't have enough, get some from home." Zhang Guifang looked at the sky and nodded in agreement.

"Do you want me to go with you?" Wang Jingwen was eager to relive the happiness of her childhood.

"It's better to say goodbye. We only have a pair of rubber shoes at home. It's hard to walk outside. You can check their homework at home." It's true that he didn't check their homework for the two sisters last night, and it's also true that they don't have enough rubber shoes, but Tang Zhitong doesn't want Wang Jingwen to let Wang Jingwen The main reason for following is to use the space storage method. How to cheat with her? The few I picked up honestly were not enough to fit between my teeth.

"Okay, then please pay attention to safety and come back early." Seeing that Tang Zhitong was reasonable, classmate Xiao Wang did not insist.

"Okay, no matter how much I pick up, I'll be back within an hour." After Tang Zhitong promised, he dressed neatly and went out.

The rain was getting lighter, and people were already picking up beetles and cicada monkeys on the side of the road. Seeing this, Tang Zhitong decisively gave up his original plan and left some snacks for others, so he might as well dig it out from the space.

Now that he was out, there was no reason to go back immediately. Tang Zhitong took the bucket and went straight to the Hujialou branch. He hadn't seen his old colleagues for a long time, so he went over to sit and kill some time.

"Sister Qian, are you busy?" Tang Zhitong locked his bicycle and carried the bucket into the business hall door. The business hall was deserted except for Qian Zhongping.

"Hey, isn't this Xiao Tang? I haven't seen him for a while. When did you learn to tell lies with your eyes open? There's not even a human figure, so what are you busy with?" Qian Zhongping looked away from the newspaper and greeted Tang Zhitong.

"Say hello, you can't just say you miss Sister Qian right from the beginning, right?" Tang Zhitong put down the bucket with ease, took off his raincoat and hung it up before walking to the counter.

"Bah! You are really good at talking nonsense." Qian Zhongping spat with a smile and put down the newspaper in his hand.

"How are you doing recently? Has the assigned courier arrived?" Tang Zhitong pulled up a stool and sat face to face with Qian Zhongping. "Arrived early, but one is missing." Qian Zhongping put the big pie on the counter, holding his chin in one hand and spinning the pencil in the other.

"Oh? Master Geng has retired?" Tang Zhitong glanced at it, and it had to be Xia Tian, ​​which was eye-catching.

"No, you don't know?" Qian Zhongping glanced at Tang Zhitong and said in surprise.

"What do I know? Should I know?" Tang Zhitong was stunned.

"Zhang Yuan was arrested. Didn't he report it to the system?" Qian Zhongping replied.

"Good guy! I really don't know what happened?" Tang Zhitong asked in surprise, having never heard of it at all.

"Stealing money. As long as the envelope said how much money was inside, he kept it all." Qian Zhongping changed his expression and said sarcastically.

"Ah~ah~ This is so brave. I never noticed it before. Isn't the salary not enough for him?" Tang Zhitong was surprised by Zhang Yuan's behavior. He was also an old deliveryman who had worked for many years. How could he commit such a low-level behavior? What about errors?

"Humph, is he timid? You really made a mistake. Do you dare to gamble? I often came to work with a bruised face back then, so I guess I was beaten badly." Qian Zhongping's sarcasm was mixed with gloating, and she also There is a heart-warming and heart-warming experience.

"Then it's not surprising at all." Tang Zhitong nodded, couldn't help it, and glanced at Qian Zhongping's group again. Zhang Yuan was indeed very courageous. He tried to get started as soon as he got to work. He could do something like gambling. Not too surprising.

"Where are the thief's eyes going? Isn't it enough to have a little king at home?" Because of his age, Qian Zhongping was often peeked at by others, and he was used to it. But this time when he felt Tang Zhitong's gaze, he felt a little shy and spat. He took a sip, stepped back, bent over, and tried to hide.

"emm... I'm thinking about a question. My brother-in-law must be able to steam steamed buns, right?" Tang Zhitong's face was a little embarrassed. He was caught and revealed. He had no choice but to sit face to face. He was condescending, and Qian Zhongping's big faction It’s so eye-catching, you can’t blame yourself!

"How do you know?" Qian Zhongping asked unexpectedly.

"I don't have a good technique for kneading dough. I can't make steamed buns so well. I want to learn it." Tang Zhitong said seriously, and it was impossible to tell from his expression that he was talking nonsense.

"Bah! A dog can't spit out ivory. Let's go home and practice with your little Wang. Tell me, why are you here, to make your sister Qian happy?" Qian Zhongping thought about it, her pretty face turned red, and she was not angry. On the contrary, he was amused and laughed out loud. This smile was even more trembling.

"How can I? I'm here to deliver something to Sister Qian." Tang Zhitong didn't dare to look anymore. He stood up and walked to the door, picked up the bucket, and took the opportunity to take out thirty or forty beetles from the space and put them in.

"What is it? Does it have to be packed in a bucket?" Qian Zhongping stood up curiously and leaned forward to get a better look.

"Isn't it raining? I picked up a few beetles. Thinking that Sister Qian's child is young, I gave the child a toothpaste as a gift." Tang Zhitong put the bucket on the counter and said openly.

"That's not okay. Food is expensive. You can take it back and eat it." Qian Zhongping quickly refused after seeing what it was.

"It's okay. I just caught these on the way here. I'll walk east later and take them home to eat." Tang Zhitong has a clear grudge. He doesn't wear much in summer, so he can't let it go in vain...

　Qian Zhongping is a supporting character, and some descriptions cannot be described directly. We can only start from the relationship between the two and react from the side. Here is the foreshadowing.
