Go back to the past and be a schoolboy

Chapter 23 Goudaner and Nidaner

When he went back, Li Laosan was very happy, humming an unknown tune, meeting people he knew along the way, no matter whether he was familiar with them or not, he just went up to say hello, even if his face was hot and his ass was cold, he still never tired of it.

"Yo, I haven't seen you for a long time, have you eaten yet? What, you want to grab a drink or two? I can't do it today. I will treat you another day, another day, haha."

"Zhao Laohei, what kind of face do you have for the Chinese New Year? Did you go to gamble again? It really made me talk. How can you live like this? Hurry up and find a job that can fill your stomach after the Chinese New Year. .”

"Hey, Wang Si, why did you turn around and run away when you saw me? I didn't ask you to press for the debt."

Looking back, he saw that Cheng Nuo was still carrying something, so he hurried over to help him get it.

"Sir, look at me, you're a guest at my house, how can I let you make a big bag, it's inappropriate to say it, come, come, let me come."

Cheng Nuo didn't carry many things, and the heavy ones were with Li Laosan, so he didn't like to say: "Old Li, you are so crushed that you can hardly straighten your back, I am not short of arms or legs, How can I let you take it."

After all, Li Laosan does hard work, and the strength in his hands is naturally not comparable to that of Cheng Nuo, a young man. He pulled things over with three strokes, tied two pieces of cloth on his back, and wrapped candied haws Putting it in his arms, holding the vegetables and meat in both hands, he walked in front with a grin and said: "Sir, you see that you pay for it and I will do my best, and the business is reasonable, so don't fight. Besides, you can't compete with me."

Cheng Nuo was very helpless, pointed at him and said angrily, "Okay, old Li, just wait for me."

With a sly smile on Li Laosan's face, he didn't answer this question, but looked at the sky instead: "Hey, it was going to be dark just now, but now it's so bright and majestic, the days are getting better and better."

Taking advantage of this afterglow, Cheng Nuo and his team arrived at Li Laosan's residence, in front of a shanty town, before dark.

Since Shunzhi entered Beijing, Beiping City has been implementing the policy of living in Manchu and Han separate cities, with Manchus living in the inner city and Han people living in the outer city.

Li Laosan's family is Han Chinese, and their ancestors had no money or power, so they could only build a few houses in the outer city.

As for the large courtyards known to ordinary people in later generations, it is not affordable for ordinary people at the bottom. Most of the homeowners choose to rent the whole house. go out.

At the door, Li Laosan smiled at Cheng Nuo, coughed and straightened his bent waist, and walked towards the yard while shouting, "Goddam, baby, daddy is back."

Unexpectedly, as soon as Li Laosan entered the courtyard, he yelled loudly on his back: "You don't do good things, what are you doing with your sister, Ni Daner? Wait, see if I don't skin you. "

Cheng Nuo, who was following behind, hurried over to see what happened. It turned out that a half-grown child was playing with ice pendants on the eaves with a group of little fellows. There were ice cubes on the ground, and some children had already picked up the clean ones. Put it in your mouth and suck.

Seeing that an adult saw it, he immediately turned into a beast, and shouted with a sense of loyalty: "God, run, your father saw you, and he is coming to beat you."

Goudan'er also saw his father, threw the stick in his hand, and was about to run away, but he still couldn't run away from the adults.

Li Laosan stuffed all the things in his hand to Cheng Nuo: "Sir, help me carry it first. This bastard hasn't been on the house for three days, and he hasn't brought his sister to do good things. I can't bear it anymore."

"Old Li, if you have something to say, don't hit the child." Cheng Nuo, who was holding his things, wanted to persuade him: "Your subordinates are not serious. What if you break the child?"

Lao Li didn't answer, with a dark face, he grabbed the dog in two steps, and the wooden stick thrown by the little guy was picked up instead, and he was about to greet his ass.

At this time, a woman rushed over from inside, holding the little girl Nidan'er with tears in her eyes, she seemed to be afraid that her brother would be beaten, so she called her mother over.

Seeing this scene, the woman slapped her thighs with both hands, trying to grab the wooden stick: "Father, what are you doing? If you hit a child during Chinese New Year, isn't it a joke for you to tell?"

Goudaner is also a clever thief. Before the wooden stick was beaten, he cried and screamed, "Mother, I was wrong, don't let my father beat me, my ass will be smashed."

How could Li Laosan not know about this trick, and he just slapped his butt twice: "Little bastard, it's against the sky, isn't it?"

Now it's all right, fake crying has become real crying.

Seeing that this was not the way, the woman looked around and happened to see Cheng Nuo who was at the side, and hurriedly said, "Father, this... is this the gentleman you mentioned?"

Li Laosan was still angry at first, but when he heard that his wife had already greeted the guests, he naturally couldn't continue to be filial to his father and son, so he twitched his buttocks again and then relieved his hatred: "Next time, bring your sister to do dangerous things. It’s not like fighting with clothes on!”

Seeing his father leaving, Goudaner immediately stood up to stop his tears, stuck out his tongue at Li Laosan's back, saw his younger sister was worried, and he quickly made a grimace, which made her laugh out loud.

The woman glanced back at the scene and gave him a warning look.

Goudan'er quickly put on an aggrieved expression when he saw it, and limped while clutching his butt. If others didn't know, they would really think they were broken.

But in fact, the wooden stick was no thicker than a little finger, and he wore thick cotton trousers in winter, and there were guests beside him, so Li Laosan didn't use much strength at all, so the strength transmitted to his buttocks had already been relieved.

The reason why he did it directly was not only related to the custom of strict fathers producing talented people in this era, but the third Li also considered not to let Cheng Nuo leave a bad impression on the child, meaning that in the future, if the child makes a mistake, you should beat him or scold him. Parents don't say anything.

Cheng Nuo naturally didn't know the small theater here, so he said politely: "Sister-in-law, I finally met you, thank you for making me fried triangles, it's better than the ones sold on the street, you are the blessing of old brother Li what."

The woman's face turned red from the praise, and she didn't know where to put her hands. She rubbed the scarf and glanced at Li Laosan and said angrily: "His fortune is the bad luck of my life, sir, come in quickly and want to After eating fried triangles, I will make them for you every day."

Li Laosan was scolded by this, and wanted to open his mouth to refute but met his wife's gaze, so he didn't dare to speak anymore, turned his back and hummed in a low voice: "Hmph, blessing, what kind of blessing, you suffer every day!"

"Father, what are you humming about? Pretend I can't hear you!"

"Where is it? I mean it's the luck of my old Li's family. The fortune tellers all said that I married a good woman." Li Laosan said with a sneer, and dodged as he untied the cloth on his back and put his arms around his chest. Take out the candied haws: "Stop pretending, you bastard, hurry over here and thank you sir, this is the candied haws I bought for you two."

"Okay, candied haws, hehe." Seeing that there was something to eat, Goudaner immediately stopped pretending and ran over with a playful smile: "Thank you dad, thank you sir."

Ni Dan'er, who was hiding behind the woman, stared at her big watery eyes, and said timidly, "Thank you sir."

Goudan over there disappeared as soon as he got the candied haws, like a runaway wild horse, and there were bursts of children's noise in the distance.

"Come, come, I will take the first bite, and you will eat the rest."

"Second boy, who told you to take such a big bite? How can other people eat it? If you do this again, I won't play with you."

"Fourth, don't worry, shut up your saliva, it will be your turn soon."

Li Laosan withdrew his gaze, and said with pride on his face, "I don't know who I learned from, this bastard."

"Who did you learn it from? Didn't you learn it from you?" The woman gouged out Li Laosan's eyes, and said bluntly: "It was carved out of the same mold as his father!"
