The Rebirth of the Rain Pillar of the Siheyuan

Chapter 124

Liang Shaoqiang was just 15 years old when he took on the burden of the family. His father died unexpectedly three years ago, leaving only his sick mother in bed.

"Is Shaoqiang at home?"

A skinny young man opened the door and said happily, "Brother Dahai! Come in quickly, you were so majestic last night!"

Zheng Hai smiled, patted his shoulder and asked, "Is Aunt Liang feeling better?"

"Ahem, cough, is it the sea?"

A weak woman's voice sounded.

Zheng Hai hurried into the back room. A thin and pale woman in her 40s and [-]s saw Zheng Hai and struggled to get up.

Zheng Hai helped the woman to sit up, "Aunt Liang, let me see you, are you feeling better?"

Aunt Liang smiled and said, "It's much better! Is grandma's funeral done?"

Zheng Hai nodded.

"I heard from Shaoqiang that you brought a daughter-in-law back?"

Zheng Hai said embarrassingly: "Well, I met someone on the street who came to the capital to escape, and I took it back when I saw it was suitable."

Aunt Liang patted Zheng Hai's hand, comfortingly said: "Since you're interested, treat him well, it's not easy for anyone these days."

"I know Aunt Liang, I brought you some stick noodles. By the way, there are also wedding candies!"

Saying that, Zheng Hai took out a big handful of big white rabbits from his big black pocket.

Seeing the toffee, Aunt Liang said distressedly: "Dahai, you are spending too much money, how can you waste your money so badly, how expensive is the toffee!"

Looking at his swallowing son, he sighed and said, "You are alone, and life will not be easy in the future. You must learn to save everywhere. This time, Aunt Liang will not talk about you. After all, it is a happy event!"

"Understood Aunt Liang, don't force yourself to eat candy, try milk candy."

Liang Shaoqiang happily took the toffee, "Thank you Brother Dahai!"

Zheng Hai said with a smile: "You kid is still polite to me!"

"Aunt Liang, you eat too!"

Zheng Hai handed a toffee to Aunt Liang, and said, "The daughter-in-law I brought back is Wang Yan, and there is also a younger sister who was a bit suspicious when she first came here, so I didn't bring it to see you. We will have a good reunion a few years ago." Get together!"

Aunt Liang happily said with a milk candy in her mouth, "Okay! Okay! I'll meet this niece and daughter-in-law then!"

"Aunt Liang, I'll go back first if I have something to do. Take care of yourself! I'll see you again in a few days!" Zheng Hai got up and said.

"Well, go back! Don't worry about Aunt Liang all the time, you are busy with your work, and Shaoqiang will send you Brother Dahai."

Zheng Hai walked to the door, took out another knife of pork from his black pocket, and stuffed it into Liang Shaoqiang's hands without rejection, "Take it! Give Aunt Liang a boost!"

Liang Shaoqiang choked up and said, "Brother Dahai...thank you!"

Zheng Hai waved his hand, turned around and left the courtyard.

~~~

Linglong Hutong.

In a small alley running from east to west, Zheng Hai walked slowly, admiring the small courtyard with blue bricks and gray tiles. Although it was not with flying eaves and brackets, it was quite distinctive.

Because most of them are detached houses, the alleys are very quiet.

This scene seems to have entered the time of the Republic of China, Zheng Hai really wanted to stop and not move, afraid of getting out of this intoxicating feeling.

"Linglong Hutong NO.12"

Zheng Hai looked at the door plate and knocked on the door.

"squeak"

There was a sound of the door hinge, and the door opened. Erlu poked his head out and said with a grin: "Brother Pao, I'm just waiting for you. The house has been tidied up."

Zheng Hai nodded and entered the yard.

The ground is paved with blue bricks, and the small courtyard looks very tidy, a typical 200-square-meter courtyard. Zheng Hai smiled when he saw the bright glass windows as soon as he entered the courtyard.

Cheng Laoliu is quite willing to take care of his family!Glass is not cheap now, not only is it not cheap, but it is also hard to get. Even the courtyards full of animals are now covered with paper windows, which are dim and opaque.

Following Erlu into the west room, there was a square table and two chairs, seeing that the bed was covered with clean bedding and the charcoal brazier was lit on the floor, the room was very warm, Zheng Hai nodded in satisfaction.

"That's fine! I'm staying here for a while, so I won't bother you, and you're fine, don't bother me."

The second donkey let go of his worries and said respectfully: "Then I'll go back to Brother Pao. My two brothers and I live in the east ear room opposite. Call me if you have anything to do."

"Wait a moment!"

Zheng Hai took out a big black bag.

"Here, it's my charcoal money. It warms the house for me when I'm not around."

Erlu hurriedly shook his hands, "Brother Pao, no need!"

Zheng Hai glared, "Just take it if you tell me, how can there be so much nonsense!"

The second donkey took Daheishi carefully, and secretly complained that this guy is a dog face, and he turned it over as soon as he said it.

"Thank you Brother Pao, what's the meal for that night?"

Zheng Hai waved his hand, "Don't worry about me, you do what you want. That's fine, let's go!"

"Hey, call me if you need anything!"

The two donkeys left, and Zheng Hai left the door of the room with a finger to see through the smoke. He lay on the bed and stretched comfortably. He looked at his watch. It was 03:30 in the afternoon. Whether it was early or late, Zheng Hai was helpless. Get up, if you fall asleep at this time, you can only stare until dawn in the second half of the night.

Looking around the house is really nothing to do, make a decision to go out for a walk.

"Brother Pao, are you going out?"

The second donkey came up with a key in his hand.

"Go out for a walk, what's the matter?" Zheng Hai asked.

The second donkey handed over the key, "Our three brothers come back late at night, in case no one gives you a key when you come back home."

Zheng Hai took the key and warned: "I don't ask what you do at night! But if the police are called and I have no place to live, I have nothing to do with you!"

Cold sweat broke out on the head of the second donkey, and the two followers in the east wing shivered.

"No! Brother Pao, don't worry, absolutely not!"

Zheng Hai ignored it.

Seeing Zheng Hai walk out of the yard, Erlu was worried. The Tyrannosaurus rex lived in the yard. How will they live these few months?Looking at the two pairs of worried eyes in the room, Erlu shook his head helplessly.

Zheng Hai saw that the two donkeys did not curse behind their backs, and withdrew their mental power in satisfaction.

Xidan Trust Store.

At this time, the sun was about to set, and there was no one in the store. The salesmen and sisters had already packed up their things and got ready to leave work. When they saw Zheng Hai swaying in, they all raised their faces.

"Boy, is there anything to look forward to? We are going to get off work!"

An old man in his 50s with a gray beard came over.

Zheng Hai smiled, "Master, I want to buy some clothes, do you have any second-hand bicycles?"

The uncle looked at Zheng Hai in surprise, "Bicycles are not cheap! Do you have that much money?"

Zheng Hai smiled shyly, "We're getting married!"

The uncle showed it clearly, "No wonder! Congratulations!"

Zheng Hai immediately took out fruit candy from the big black bag.

"Grandpa eats candy!"

Then go straight to the big sisters of the salespersons.

"Elder sisters, eat wedding candy! I'm so sorry! I'm sorry for delaying everyone's get off work, I'm sorry!"

The elder sisters finally look better when they get the wedding candy. After all, it is not unforgivable to get several pieces of wedding candy if you delay for a while.

"Young man, what kind of clothes do you want to buy?" the uncle asked.

"The newer style is more expensive. What is your name, sir?"

"Let your surname be Wang."

Uncle Wang touched the candy in his pocket and smiled. He could make his grandson happy when he came home at night. Looking at Zheng Hai, he felt that this young man was sensible and sweet.

Looking at Zheng Hai's figure, Uncle Wang led Zheng Hai to the clothing counter.

"Xiao Zhao, bring that buckskin jacket and army trousers."

Zheng Hai took the jacket from the elder sister and looked through it.

Fur collar, cashmere lining, M domestic product, probably new, looks like a military uniform?
Zheng Hai looked at Uncle Wang suspiciously, "Uncle Wang, could it be that our army seized this on the Chao X battlefield?"

"Yes!"

Uncle Wang nodded, took the jacket, pointed to a trademark on the lining, and said, "This should be rewarded by the army. Didn't you see the stamp of the army here? There are also a pair of military trousers and a pair of military leather shoes that go with it. "

Seeing Zheng Hai flipping through the military trousers again, Uncle Wang continued: "Because the size is too large, it has not been sold. I think you are about the same size. If you can't, you can try it first."

Zheng Hai gestured to military trousers, it's okay!A little longer, a little fat waistband, not a problem!

I took off the padded jacket and tried a buckskin jacket. The length was still slightly longer, but I was too skinny and the jacket seemed a bit fat on my body.

But these are not problems, I am talented and still developing.

The problem is how to get it at the lowest possible price. Although everything is state-owned and it is not good to bargain, but such a large size is definitely not easy to sell and it is buckskin, so the price cannot be cheap.

It is estimated that this uncle will sell this deerskin jacket only when he sees his height of 1 meters!
现在国人普遍的身高也就1米6到1米75左右，女的更矮。没看80s，女青年找对象都要求1米8以上的，1米8以下的都视为二等残废。

Bought! ! !

Zheng Hai made a decision, looked at Uncle Wang and asked, "Can I see the shoes?"

Uncle Wang beckoned, and the elder sister of the shoe cabinet who had already prepared quickly came over with a pair of half boots.

"Thank you ma'am!"

Zheng Hai took it over and took a look, curled his lips, this old beauty was transformed from an orangutan, right?Seeing that it was more than 45 sizes, it was three or four sizes bigger than myself.

Zheng Hai complained: "Master, this is too big!"

Uncle Wang gave a smug smile, and didn't stop fooling around!Come on!He tentatively asked, "How about finding you a similar pair? How big are your feet?"

"42 yards"

Zheng Hai suddenly had a bad feeling, could this Uncle Wang be selling something expensive and unwanted to him?

When the elder sister of the shoe cabinet came over with a pair of long military boots, Zheng Hai was finally sure that the uncle regarded him as a "rich man".

The uncle praised all over his face, "It was worn by officers before the founding of the People's Republic of China. The soles are real leather and the new ones are all wool inside. They are absolutely warm in winter and don't freeze your feet! Size 43 is only a little bigger than your feet. You are not old. , it should still grow!"

Zheng Hai pointed at the three things with a cold face, "How much?"

Uncle Wang finally felt a little embarrassed, and said with a sneer: "Jacket 30 yuan, trousers 3 yuan, and long military boots 35 yuan."

Zheng Hai immediately became anxious, "Fuck! Grandpa, this suit costs 68 yuan! It is worth two months' wages for a second-level worker. You can't do this! Who can afford this? Now it is also used to make a Chinese tunic suit It’s less than 20 yuan, right?”

Uncle Wang comforted: "Young man, don't be in a hurry. Look at this jacket, it's made of buckskin! The army pants are made of country M khaki cloth, and the long military boots are also made of cowhide and wool inside. It's definitely worth the price!"

Zheng Hai just shakes his head and refuses to buy no matter what you say.

The big sister who sells clothes and the big sister who sells shoes both looked at Uncle Wang worriedly. Although it has nothing to do with them, it was Uncle Wang who set the price at the time of receiving the goods. It has not been bought for more than a year. Not happy anymore!

Uncle Wang looked at Zheng Hai who shook his head and refused, and said helplessly: "Then... young man, what price do you think is suitable?"

Zheng Hai thought for a while, the item was really good, it would be a pity to miss it, and he opened his mouth and said, "40!"

The uncle jumped up, "Young man! You are too ruthless! I gave you a little price, but I didn't cut it like that!"

"Master Wang, what's the matter?"
