Chapter 1485: Tiger Falls in the Flat Plains
Nanluoguxiang
The winter night in the north was biting cold. Cao Weiguo burned the coal stove, and the whole room was warm. Xiao Ping'an was swaying in the room, not idle. Seeing Song Yulan and Song Yujuan knitting sweaters, he mischievously ran over and pulled the wool, then his little butt was hit twice, and he ran to Cao Weiguo for comfort, crying loudly.
"Don't cry, my Ping'an is a man, don't cry."
Cao Weiguo picked up his son and put him on his lap, scraping his son's chubby face, and reached out to get the rattle.
Holding the rattle, Cao Ping'an stopped crying and played with Cao Weiguo with a giggle.
After playing for a while, seeing that it was getting late, Cao Weiguo gave Song Yulan a look.
Song Yulan's pretty face turned red, and she understood, said a few words to Song Yujuan, and then coaxed her son to go back to the room to sleep with Song Yujuan.
Cao Weiguo leaned over and hugged his little wife: "Wife, are you cold?"
Song Yulan shyly patted Cao Weiguo's bad hand: "Oh, your head is full of that stuff, Sister Juan hasn't gone far yet, don't be shameless."
"I've closed the door."
"That has to wait a while, Sister Juan has to come out to pour the foot-washing water in a while."
"I'm uncomfortable."
"Don't be shameless, I really can't help you."
"Good wife, I miss you to death."
"Hmm."
Accompanied by the heart-moving murmurs, an indescribable activity caused the room temperature to rise rapidly, and even the biting cold winter could not stop the thick spring.
"Are you a wolf? What are you eating enough of? You don't want me to live."
I don't know how long it took, the noisy bedroom gradually became quiet, and Song Yulan weakly patted Cao Weiguo's restless hand: "Don't move."
Cao Weiguo grabbed his wife's hand with a cheeky smile: "Wife, you are so beautiful, let's add a younger brother or sister for Ping'an, look at how lonely Ping'an is."
Song Yulan's pretty face was rosy: "You only know how to toss me, who told me to marry you, you are the master, you say what you want."
Cao Weiguo hugged his wife tightly: "Wife, you are so good."
Song Yulan said lazily: "Weiguo, when I was selling vegetables this afternoon, I passed by the Red Star Sihe Academy and heard that Yi Zhonghai was back."
Cao Weiguo: "Hmm, he's back."
Song Yulan: "Is he okay?"
Cao Weiguo shook his head: "I don't know, forget him, that old thing is not a good bird anyway, our family should not have any dealings with his family in the future, let him be whatever he wants, as long as the well water doesn't offend the river water, don't pay attention to him, that old dog is full of bad water, even if you meet on the road, don't say hello, just treat him as air."
For Cao Weiguo's words, Song Yulan had always been obedient, lying in the hot embrace and nodding meekly: "I know."
Cao Weiguo's hand began to be restless again, and he smiled badly: "Wife, you've worked hard recently, let me serve you well."
"Oh!"
Red Star Sihe Academy
Yi Zhonghai took First Aunt and Deaf Granny to the door of the Jia family to discuss borrowing a room with Qin Huairu and Jia Zhangshi. No wonder Shazhu brought up the matter of renting a house at the dinner table. Squeezing four people into one room was really awkward, especially the smell on Shazhu's body. If the window wasn't closed, it could freeze people to death; if the window was closed, it could smoke people to death.
And there was only a single bed in He Yushui's room, which was naturally for the oldest Deaf Granny to sleep in. First Aunt and Shazhu each used bricks and wooden boards to build two beds, which could be used to sleep, but in this way, there was no place to put feet in the room. If Yi Zhonghai came back, it would be even more so, and it couldn't be squeezed.
There was no way but to think of other ways. Yi Zhonghai thought about it and thickened his face to find Old Li in the front yard to borrow a room.
Yes, it was borrowing a room, not renting a room.
Yi Zhonghai pulled Old Li and said: "Old Li, your wife left early, and your son is a soldier in another place. You live in these two rooms alone, which is really a bit wasteful, and it hasn't been popular for a long time. I came to you today to discuss with you, can you lend me that empty room to live in."
Old Li took Yi Zhonghai's hand away: "Old Yi, what are you saying? Lend me your empty house to live in? What kind of beauty are you thinking of! Even if my house is empty, it's my family's business, and it has nothing to do with you. You opened your mouth and asked me to lend you a house. You are so old, and you don't know how to be shameless."
Yi Zhonghai angrily took out his unique skill and preached to Old Li: "Old Li, how are you talking? You can't be too selfish as a person. At the beginning, when your wife passed away, I ran around to help you organize the funeral. If you have difficulties, I didn't stand by and watch. Why am I in trouble now, and you turned your face and didn't recognize anyone? We are neighbors living in the same courtyard, and we should support each other when one party is in trouble. Usually, we should love each other and help each other. You tell me, how can you be so selfish? Obviously, there is an empty house at home and no one lives in it, and our couple is homeless. Can't you lend the house to our couple? Can't you have a spirit of helping others? Old Li, you are not a selfish person in my heart. If you are so selfish and only care about yourself, then be careful that no one will help you when you encounter difficulties in the future."
"Yi Zhonghai, what are you saying! Who is selfish! You are qualified to say I am selfish! You old bastard! What face do you have to talk about me in front of me! You helped me organize the funeral back then, but you didn't get less benefit that time. Didn't I give you wine? Didn't you take all those leftovers? And you let Shazhu take the spoon, and one table cost one yuan for hard work, which was twice as high as others. Do you think I am a fool? I just didn't want to be the same as you. You still have the face to come to me to claim credit. Do you want any face? Quick dog thing, why don't you die outside? You have done so many dirty things and broken things, you deserve to be a descendant, you deserve to sleep on the street, get out, don't be an eyesore in my house, be careful I will slap you to death."
This Old Li was a militia member and had worked in the security section for several years. Although he was usually silent and lived in the courtyard, this old comrade did not cause trouble, which did not mean he was afraid of trouble. Think back then, he had used a big knife to cut the puppet army. Who is he playing a hooligan with!
Facing the upright and aggressive Old Li, even if his face was thicker than the city wall and he was used to moral kidnapping, Yi Zhonghai could not help but feel timid, and he was scolded and speechless, and left in a wretched state with an ugly face.
It was clear that Old Li couldn't get through. Looking at it this way, even if he paid to rent a house, Old Li wouldn't rent it to him. Since that was the case, don't ask for trouble. Taking advantage of the deep night, he knocked on the door of the Jia family.
Soon, two widows famous in Nanluoguxiang came out together. Jia Zhangshi sprayed Yi Zhonghai: "Yi Zhonghai, you old thing, do you still want any face? Knocking on a widow's door in the middle of the night, aren't you afraid of losing face? Our Jia family is still afraid of losing face. If this spreads out, our Jia family will be pointed at by people."
Yi Zhonghai hurriedly said: "Old sister-in-law, keep your voice down, I have something serious to find you, I am here to give you money."
Jia Zhangshi's eyes lit up: "Give money? Where is the money, take it out quickly."
Yi Zhonghai said: "Old sister-in-law, don't be anxious. You also know that my house has been sold. Now we have no place to live. Four people are squeezed into He Yushui's room, and it's really impossible to live. So I want to rent a place from you, so that we have a place to stay."
Jia Zhangshi stared: "You old shameless, what kind of beauty are you thinking of? We have two widows in our family, you move into our house, what is that? No, you don't want face, we still want face."
Yi Zhonghai hurriedly said: "Old sister-in-law, don't be anxious. Listen to me, I won't move into your house. Shazhu and I will still live in Yushui's room, and my wife and Deaf Granny will live in your house."
Jia Zhangshi narrowed her eyes: "Then how much money do you give? I tell you, less is not enough. Our Jia family is a geomantic treasure land of people and spirits. If it weren't for the sake of you being Dongxu's master, I would never agree to this matter."
Yi Zhonghai gritted his teeth: "I will give you one yuan a month."
Jia Zhangshi spat at Yi Zhonghai: "I vomit! You can say this! Do you think our family is begging for food! One yuan is not enough to plug the teeth! If you are reluctant to spend money, don't live. Public toilets don't cost money. You go to the public toilet to live."
Yi Zhonghai wiped the sour saliva on his face and asked with forbearance: "Then how much do you want?"
Jia Zhangshi raised a palm: "Looking at the bond between our two families, you give me five yuan a month, and not a cent less."
Yi Zhonghai was stunned by Jia Zhangshi's lion-like opening: "What five yuan! Why don't you go rob!"
Jia Zhangshi crossed her arms and sneered: "Just five yuan, you love to live or not. If you think it's expensive, you can go to another house. See if anyone is willing to take you in. Don't forget, you are not an ordinary person now. Although you were released, Liu Haizhong said that you are still suspected and may be taken away again at any time. I don't believe that anyone can take you in."
"You! You!"
Yi Zhonghai was trembling with anger, and his iron teeth were almost bitten to pieces.
Qin Huairu pretended to persuade: "Mom, what are you doing? Although our family is not easy, First Uncle helped our family a lot before, and we should repay First Uncle."
"Presumptuous! Qin Huairu! What are you! When is it your turn to speak in the Jia family! Don't forget! This is the Jia family's house, and it's not your turn to be the master of a surname Qin! Go back to the room, come out to see a man in the middle of the night, aren't you ashamed."
Jia Zhangshi turned to Qin Huairu and shouted sharply, scolding Qin Huairu with shame and hatred, which made Yi Zhonghai feel very moved and distressed: "Old sister-in-law, don't scold Huairu anymore. I accept Huairu's heart. Five yuan is five yuan, but my wife and Deaf Granny must move into your house today."
Jia Zhangshi said: "Okay, then from now until the end of the month, it counts as one month." ===== CHAPTER 1487 =====
