madman and kidnapper

Chapter 20

Would Li Chi's trip be useful?

Obviously it is useful, because Li Chi officially hired Li Guaizi as a "chicken watcher" before leaving, with a monthly salary of 600 yuan, which was originally 500 yuan. Sitting there all day, just ask for three or four hundred, but as soon as he said the words, Li Chi just added another hundred.

The woman rolled her eyes in her heart, thinking, this man must die for doing business.

"Brother Kidnapper, I will treat my chicken as your chicken from now on. If you want to take two back to eat, it doesn't matter, just tell me." Li Chi held the kidnapper's hand, as if explaining the funeral, "I think you must If you can raise them well, I will give them all to you!"

The kidnapper agreed vaguely, wondering why he suddenly had a job.

"By the way!" The woman hurriedly stopped Li Chi before he left, "You also know about your net, it's easy for others to steal a chicken, and he can't just stay there every day. For other things, what if the chicken is lost, do we have to pay for it?"

"Oh!" Li Chi slapped his head, "Actually, I have to install a surveillance camera in the later stage of my chicken coop, but I can't watch the surveillance every day, can I? Besides, I don't care if I lose a chicken or two, I just have to Look, after all, you can't indulge chicken thieves. Kidnap is usually busy with his own business. He usually goes up to feed the chickens. Occasionally, if he sees a broken net, he will help mend it. If he sees that the chickens are much less, tell him Me, I'll check the monitoring, if you want to eat, just tell me, it doesn't matter if you raise so many chicks, the restaurant can't finish them."

The woman nodded, thinking that if the chicken is really lost at that time, it will be enough to pick out the kidnapper. It doesn't take much effort and it will add 600 yuan a month, which is really good.

The kidnapper went out to see Li Chi away, and returned to the house with a red face, lying on the bed with great joy, Guangzong, who had been sleeping in the back room just now, also woke up at this time, and opened his throat in the back room with an "ow".

The kidnapper got up quickly and went to the back room to change his son's diaper.

It was getting warmer and warmer. The kidnapper and the woman sat in the yard chiseling wood, and after a while they were covered in sweat.The woman wore a lot of clothes, and wanted to take off the padded jacket when she was sweating, but the kidnapper quickly stopped her.

"Don't take it off if you're sweating, and if you let the wind blow, you'll definitely catch a cold." The kidnapper went into the room and pulled some toilet paper for the woman, asking her to wipe off the sweat.

The woman wiped it twice casually, and unbuttoned the jacket twice. Looking at the big sun above her head, she said impatiently, "It's probably okay with the heat like this."

"Alas!" Kidnap curled his lips and shook his head, "Don't look at the sun, it's useless, the main thing is the wind. There is an old saying that spring covers autumn and freezes. The words of our ancestors are countless, so listen to them."

The woman sighed and fastened the button back again.

There are several rows of wooden pots in the yard, each of which has been carefully painted, and the rows emit a pungent smell.

The kidnapper was so dizzy from the smoke, he blocked his nose with two fingers and looked at the woman: "Do you think anyone can buy something with such a smell?"

The woman was also smoky enough. She knew that paint was not good for her body, so she just wanted to get the job done quickly. Hearing what the kidnapper said, the woman said angrily:
"Aren't these all the inferior goods you bought? Besides, it's only in a pile that it's so choking, how much smell can a single one have? Besides, isn't this just drying out the smell?"

"No, then why don't you let me open the door to let you disperse the smell? Use the wind to blow it, and it will disperse faster, won't it?"

Kidnap glanced at the tightly closed courtyard door, quite puzzled.

"Guard wind? Where does it blow? From the yard to the house?"

The woman pointed to the courtyard door, and then pointed to the house door, her face was full of surprise, as if she was wondering why the kidnapper didn't use his brain at all.

"Also, did your ancestors ever tell you the phrase 'make a lot of money in silence'? Those individuals usually pass their eyeballs into the crack of the door for nothing. Are you afraid that others will not come in? Open?"

When the kidnapper heard this, his face was full of embarrassment. He just didn't understand women's thoughts. When he was groping and groping before, he was still open to anyone, although no one was willing to come. How could this happen? I have to work hard by myself, but I want to close the gate of the courtyard like a thief?

The kidnapper couldn't hide his words, so he spoke after thinking about it. The woman rolled her eyes, pointed to her face with one finger, and said:

"That's fine, when you go out in the future, don't close the door, just open it..."

"That won't work!" Before the woman finished speaking, the kidnapper exploded immediately, "There are still people thinking about running in after the door is closed! You can't attract wolves if you open the door?"

"That's it! Then why are you still wondering? Do you have any brains!" The woman threw the brush in her hand, her voice was only loud, "This kind of thing is easy to find in the village, but it's just something that can't be sold for money. Yes, now, you have a way to turn them into money. If you tell others the way, then with your clumsy efforts, you can still win over those hardworking people? I'll tell you Li Guaizi, and I'll just see Not as stupid as you are, there are many ways to make money now, but if you find one is missing, cover it! I have been stupid for so many years, and it is thanks to the blessing of your ancestors that I can live until now. Go to the grave tomorrow Burn some incense for your parents."

After speaking, the woman entered the house without looking back, and went to drink water.

The kidnapper was stupefied by the woman's training, and he stood still, not daring to make a sound. He lowered his head and carefully pondered what the woman said. In the end, he couldn't figure out why, so he could only mutter in a low voice:

"Speak up if you have something to say, what mother are you scolding?"

At the end of March, the weather is a little warmer. Those who are diligent have already covered the vegetable seeds with soil, and green shoots sprouted within a few days.Kidnap goes for a walk on the mountain every day, gets some messy mushrooms, and occasionally picks up a few Ganoderma lucidum, and then goes to Li Chi's nursing room to clean up, feed the chickens, and see if any of them get lost or stolen Yes, after confirming that there is nothing wrong with it, I walked down the mountain with my hands behind my back, passing by other people's fields, and commented on them one by one: whose man is lazy and hasn't turned the ground yet, whose woman's hands are so clumsy that the seedlings are crooked.

After babbling over the place in his mouth, Kidnap nodded, feeling as if he had accomplished something important, and then sauntered back home with his hands behind his back.

People in the village listened to what the kidnapper was talking about, and after he left, they would "pooh" in the back. This lazy man who got shit luck is not welcome anywhere, so it is not good to find a warm one during the busy season. Sleeping on a crooked position, actually going to other people's fields to point fingers, it's really annoying, but after everyone spits on him, they don't talk to him anymore, it's important to weed quickly, even if it's a flood of grasshoppers. They are all better-looking than kidnappers.

Kidnap doesn't care what others say about him, even if the wind blows those dirty words into his ears, he just pretends that he didn't hear it, and walks to Li Zhuang's small shop with his hands behind his back. Son, looking at the pile of gold ingots and wreaths in front of the door, and then remembered that the day after tomorrow would be Ching Ming, the kidnapper suddenly hesitated for a moment, and continued to walk forward, but before reaching the door of the next house, he folded it again. return.

"Hey!" The kidnapper stretched his neck and called Li Zhuang behind the counter, "How do you sell this circle and these papers?"

Li Zhuang just poked his head out to greet him, but when he saw that it was a kidnapper, he buried him back and shouted angrily:

"Who cares how much I sell it for? Anyway, it's not free!"

Seeing him like this, the kidnapper knew that Li Zhuang thought he was coming to ask for something again, so he quickly took two steps forward, holding the table and looking inside:
"Hey, who told you to give it away for nothing? You give me some money, so I can go back and ask my wife for it."

It was fine if the kidnapper didn't say this, but Li Zhuang was sour when he said it. He straightened up suddenly, and the kidnapper took two steps back in shock.

"Hey, it's different when you have a wife!" Li Zhuang's mouth was like a grape, bubbling sour water, "Don't say it, Li Guaizi, you are really capable. You are so poor. One, no one expects you to take care of your mother-in-law, they are all waiting to see your kid laugh, but I didn't expect you to pick up a cornucopia and go back, not only don't have money to support, but also keep taking money..."

When the kidnapper heard this, it was as if he was praising himself, so he couldn't help but started to giggle, and scratched the back of his head with his hands involuntarily. He couldn't imagine that, seeing him like this, Li Zhuang felt like he was having acid reflux. Going straight at the kidnapper, he spat:

"Let me tell you, Li Guaizi, don't be complacent. If it's not yours, you won't be able to hold it if you put it in your hands. Don't rush to show off. The older generation can say, 'make a fortune in silence' , you can hold it tight, you can attract thieves if you show off!"

Li Zhuang's mouth is now like the machine gun held by the little devil on TV, "chug chug" bouncing bullets out, it doesn't matter if he shoots indiscriminately, he even bouncing bullet casings indiscriminately, spraying the kidnapper's face with saliva.The kidnapper didn't care, and wiped his face casually, but Li Zhuang's words were too familiar, as if he had just heard it from a woman not long ago. The two people said the same thing, and their attitudes were not bad.

"Okay, okay, whoever listens to you, are you a big man? If you are a man, just be more straightforward! Why don't you just ask how much it is? As for the mother-in-law?" The kidnapper quickly waved his hand to stop his blindness. chug.

"Cut." Li Zhuang was interrupted before he could vent his anger. He felt extremely uncomfortable. He watched the kidnapper pointing left and right, so he casually reported the number. Anyway, he felt that the kidnapper was probably wrong. will buy.

"Three hundred wreaths, one hundred bundles of paper money, take the money if you buy it, and leave if you don't buy it, don't delay my business."

Although Li Zhuang said so, he immediately swung the back of his hand twice, clearly driving the kidnapper away.

"It's so expensive!"

Kidnap was speechless after hearing this, and quickly turned his head and walked away, looking back as he walked, feeling that the red, yellow and yellow things were particularly eye-catching.

In fact, for so many years, Kidnap never went to see his parents' graves. Every now and then, it was the villagers who looked at them as shameless, so they carried the shovel to help cover some soil, but after all, it was someone else's grave, and no one He should do his best, so he doesn't know what the shortage is like now.

Back home, the woman was sweeping around with a rag. In the spring, there was a lot of wind and dust, and Guangzong’s child had many problems. A few days later, he took Guangzong to Murakami's clinic. The goatee said it was all right, prescribed some anti-allergic medicine, and told him to dispose of all the ashes at home. Then I started to clean the house. I didn't realize that I was clumsy. I either stepped on the basin or pulled the curtain. The woman's teeth were itchy. She grabbed the rag and beat the kidnapper out. The result of wandering around the village for two days.

"Daughter-in-law, daughter-in-law." The kidnapper murmured behind for a long time, and finally couldn't help it anymore, stepped forward and patted the woman lightly.

The woman cleaned for most of the day, and she was so tired that when she turned her head and saw the kidnapper's useless look, her heart was even more furious:
"What are you doing? It's okay, go to the back room and stay, don't get in the way, don't you see that I'm busy?"

The abductor's anger was instantly burned away by the woman's arrogance, his neck shrunk, and he obediently stood at attention against the pot.

"Say it! What's the matter? How do I know what you're going to do if you don't tell me?"

The woman pulled a towel in her hand, as if she was scolding a donkey.

"No, there's nothing to do, I just want to ask you for some money to spend, and I need to use it."

After the kidnapper finished speaking, he lowered his head and didn't dare to look at the woman. He felt that he was no different from the little boys on TV who licked their faces and asked rich women for money.

"What are you doing?" The woman was surprised. She didn't find it awkward that the kidnapper asked her for money, but the kidnapper really didn't have anything to spend money on.

Kidnap pointed to the calendar on the wall, as if he had found proof, he pointed to the date on it and said:

"Look, isn't it Qingming the day after tomorrow? I thought I haven't visited my parents for so many years, so I have to burn some paper money for them this year..."

"Oh, what should I do, this should be."

The woman didn't say anything else, she nodded, went into the back room, took out a big bill and gave it to the kidnapper.

"Well, that..." After the kidnapper took it, he still had the constipated look on his face, "No, it's not enough."

"What!" The woman's almond-like round eyes stared, and the black eyeballs seemed to be falling out, "A hundred is not enough? Could it be that you still want to buy a golden mountain to put on your ancestor's grave?"

The woman said this a bit more seriously. If it was an ordinary man, he would have been angry if he heard this, but the kidnapper is not an ordinary man. Instead of being angry after hearing this, he hurriedly apologized and said with a smile:

"That's not necessary. In this poor place, there is no place to spend if you guard the golden mountain. Why waste money? I just want to buy some wreaths for them, decorate them, and press some paper money. I have asked Li Zhuang. Wreaths cost three hundred, so just buy one. Paper money comes in bundles of one hundred. If you think it’s expensive, just give me two hundred. I’ll buy some paper money and send it to them. Wreaths are not practical It’s okay if you don’t buy it.”

In the heart of the kidnapper, no matter where it is, money is the most important thing. Although in the first half of his life, the money in his hand has never exceeded two digits, but his parents were decent people before they were alive. There is a lack of money below.

If you want to talk about this guy, with two coins in his hand, he will be blind. When the kidnapper used to work on his own, he didn't even repair his parents' graves, but now he thinks of the dignity of "the two" up.

"This is the price he told you?" Unexpectedly, the kidnapper's explanation didn't work. Instead, it made the woman's eyeballs get bigger and bigger like adding fuel to the fire.

"Yes, yes."

The kidnapper didn't know why, so he scratched the back of his head.

Without saying anything, the woman threw off the rag and untied her apron, and rushed out the door like the wind.

"Hey? Hey!"

The kidnapper yelled twice, but the woman didn't turn her head back. The kidnapper felt that he was going to be bad, so he hurriedly followed behind in three steps at a time.
