Chapter 37, Neighbors’ Reaction

In a fight like this, when the opponent is evenly matched, Chen Guohua will definitely not be afraid.

But now it is obvious that the enemy is strong and we are weak. If we act recklessly, the outcome will not be good.

Smart people should assess the situation and use everything available around them to get themselves out of danger.

"on fire!"

"on fire!"

"on fire!"

Suddenly, Chen Guohua shouted loudly, and then ran away quickly while shouting.

Wu Shengli and the other three didn't react at all. Chen Guohua had already ran a few meters away.

Fire is definitely a killer in a flea market full of wood.

And it also connects the interests of everyone.

Originally it was just a small conflict between Chen Guohua and Wu Shengli.

But it instantly escalated into a major incident that affected everyone's safety.

Even Shen Zhigong, who had already reached the door of the flea market, was so frightened that he ran away when he heard the word "fire".

Anyway, don't worry about whether it's really on fire, just run first as a courtesy.

The market staff, as well as many people who came here to search for treasures, instantly became chaotic.

Everyone ran outside like crazy.

But they didn't find out where the fire was.

Chen Guohua had already taken advantage of the chaos and ran away, taking only the piece of gloomy wood with him.

As for the other things I picked just now, they were all lost.

However, Yin Chenmu did not give any money.

There is no need to accept exploitation from staff.

However, after leaving the flea market, he saw that the sky was starting to get dark.

So I had to go home first.

Let's just make do with it tonight, we'll talk about the furniture and stuff tomorrow.

In Courtyard No. 98, when Chen Guohua arrived home, the courtyard was already filled with smoke.

The choking human fireworks filled the entire courtyard.

You can smell it even from this side of the alley.

There was no wind at all this evening, so the smell of fireworks could not dissipate for a long time.

Aunts who work full-time at home almost always make fires and cook together.

Some people use honeycomb briquettes, which is better and doesn't produce as much smoke.

But burning firewood, to be precise, burning firewood that has not been dried, is what Chen Guohua saw in front of him.

The smell of fireworks was particularly pungent and very strong.

Therefore, even at a temperature of seven to eight degrees below zero, the courtyard is bustling with activity.

Seeing that it was Chen Guohua who had returned, many neighbors were surprised: Who are you looking for, little comrade?
People I know still say hello: Our new neighbor is back!
Chen Guohua forced a smile, said a few simple words of courtesy, and then returned to his room.

I quickly closed the door and felt a little better.

The thick smoke outside is really uncomfortable.

Fortunately, he locked the door when he left in the afternoon.

The air in the room is quite fresh and natural at this moment.

In the yard, Aunt Fang and other neighbors looked at the east wing with the lights on and looked at each other.

"Mom, is this our new neighbor?"

23-year-old Fang Hongqiang’s eyes were dull and his tone was full of disbelief.

He has been staring at the two rooms in the east wing of the central courtyard for a long time.

He had already been thinking about it before the original landlord Liu's family moved.

For this reason, he worked very hard and actively learned about automobiles. At the same time, his mother, Aunt Fang, often went to the street office to apply.

However, I have always been stuck.

As a result, I just came back today and was told that the east wing already had a new owner.

Good guy!
The new landlord is still a young man of 17 years old, and he really can't bear it.But so what if I can't bear it?
Chen Guohua, Director Xie of the Subdistrict Office and the Chief of the Personnel Section of the Attachment Factory came together and personally arranged the house.

Who dares to make up his mind?
He couldn't make up his mind, but that didn't mean that Fang Hongqiang wouldn't be angry or envious!
"Ok!"

Aunt Fang also had complicated eyes and glanced at her eldest son.

But he sighed.

This is life!
"Aunt Fang, do you just tolerate it like this?"

On the side, Aunt Wang in the front yard did not forget to gloat about the misfortune.

Her family, Lao Wang, was relatively lucky. He had been working as a worker at the old No. [-] Auto Parts Factory on Nanwei Road for a long time.

Therefore, the Wang family occupied two rooms in the west wing of the front yard early in the morning, which was considered the best house.

"Yes, Aunt Fang, if it were me, I definitely wouldn't be able to bear it."

Jiang Tang from the east wing of the central courtyard also agreed with a smile on his face.

The situations of the Jiang family and the Fang family are very similar.

The Jiang family has two sons, one is married and two daughters.

The other younger son is still single and currently unemployed.

There were publicity in newspapers advocating for young people to go to the countryside, but the youngest son of the Jiang family was unwilling, so he stayed in the city and did some temporary work.

Even if you are a temporary worker, it is definitely better than working in the countryside.

Under the unified purchase and marketing policy, there is simply not enough food in rural areas.

Many people have long realized that urban household registration is definitely better than rural household registration.

Therefore, as long as they are not those passionate young people, they will definitely not be willing to go to the countryside.

Aunt Fang rolled her eyes when she heard this:

"You have to go on your own, I don't want to be unhappy."

"Director Xie sent it to me personally. Do you dare to make trouble if I have the courage to do so?"

Aunt Wang and Jiang Tangshi were speechless for a moment.

The other neighbors just looked on and said nothing.

Fortunately, everyone stopped chatting, because suddenly snowflakes started to fall in the sky.

Snowflakes fell and the smoke gradually dissipated.

In the east wing room, Chen Guohua opened the oil paper and tasted the salt and pepper triangle cake bought from Guixiang Village Food Store.

When the original owner moved, the house was emptied out.

Without pots and pans, as well as briquettes and firewood, Chen Guohua could not cook at all.

Going to a state-owned restaurant to eat is too luxurious for one person.

In addition, when I came back just now, the Guixiang Village Food Store that I happened to pass by was not closed yet.

The only three items still on sale are salt and pepper triangular cakes, peach cakes and square cakes.

So, he directly bought three triangular pastries for dinner tonight.

Not to mention, the triangular cakes of this era are quite delicious.

Perhaps it has something to do with the fact that Chen Guohua basically only eats steamed radish and pickles these days.

In his previous life, when he was losing weight, he also tried to live a life of less oil and less salt.

To be honest, it's quite painful.

Life suddenly lost a lot of fun.

Every time I pass by a cake shop, my stomach growls.

Although the smell of those cakes is actually just like that, it is very fragrant, especially when you are hungry, it is especially sweet.

After a while, after eating the triangle cake, Chen Guohua went outside to get some cold water and came back.

I was going to just wash my face and go to sleep.

But, this water is really freezing cold.

He had no choice but to knock on the neighbor's door and borrow some briquettes and stove.

It’s okay to boil some water!
