Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 48 048 Earn Two Cigarettes (for further reading)

After searching for a long time, the silver-throated tit managed to get in through the crack of the locked double wooden door.

Fortunately, the chickadee is only the size of a sparrow, as long as there is a crack in the door, it can squeeze in like a mouse.

Chu Xiangqian quickly took a rough look at the East Wing.

He directed the chickadee to fly around the house several times, and found that he couldn't see any problems.

It's a little unrealistic to let tits rummage, and it's easy to leave marks.

You can only check it on the fire pit, under the cabinet, in the corner of the wall, on the beam of the house, etc.

In the end, the chickadee got into the fire pit to look around, and then let it fly back home in disappointment.

Disappointed, he finally fell asleep.

But I don't want to dream of treasures in my dream.

Falling asleep, Chu Xiangqian opened his eyes violently.

The fire pit in the northern pan is normal, but what is abnormal is that the fire pit in the Liu family pan looks like it has never been burned.

Carefully recalling the inside of the fire pit, there is indeed no smoke and dust.

Chu Xiangqian recalled that Aunt Wang had said before that the Liu family had quietly spent money to buy the ownership of the East Wing 7 years ago, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China.

No one in the yard knew about it.

This is a problem.

Assuming that the Liu family and his wife did discover the secret room, and there are good things in the secret room, they used the fire pit to cover the entrance of the secret room.

But on second thought, to transfer the treasure, it is better to continue to keep the things in the secret room, after all, the east wing belongs to the Liu family.

Moreover, their husband and wife work well and are not short of money. Their monthly rations are also more than ordinary workers.

So shouldn't they stay in the capital?
But now I suddenly want to leave, don't think about it, I must have to go, and those treasures have already been taken out of the courtyard with a high probability.

Chu Xiangqian was disappointed, and in exchange for the direction of whereabouts, if they took the treasure out of the courtyard, it would not be impossible for him to have a chance to keep an eye on the money.

Anyway, the Liu family and his wife hadn't left yet, so if Titmouse stared at Liu, he couldn't believe that he wouldn't show his flaws.

And this time to visit relatives, it is likely to find a suitable person and let him live in the East Wing.

There is a high probability that this person is not rich, and even has a lot of family members and heavy burdens.

This kind of person will not only not be able to renovate the house, but will not demolish the fire pit for many years to come.

Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian wanted to go into the east wing at night to have a look. Fortunately, his reason told him that even if he found the secret room, there was a high probability that the contents would be gone.

I just need to stare at Master Liu to find the place where things are hidden.

Once he finds it, Chu Xiangqian will 100% take it for himself.

Anyway, they are all ownerless things, and they belong to whoever has them.

As for donating to the higher authorities, Chu Xiangqian never thought about it.

One is hard to explain, and the other is that maybe some people will doubt whether he has hidden some treasures privately?

At that time, it really makes no sense.

Seeing that the sky was slowly getting brighter, I also heard the sound of the third master opening the gate of the courtyard.

Chu Xiangqian took it out of the game, put on the military coat and other clothes that had been dried long ago, got up, cooked some white rice porridge, ate roast chicken and a steamed bun, and settled the breakfast.

He took Da Zhuang and Hong Niu, who were already in the Xinshou Village and ate wild boars into the water, out of the house.

I saw the elder Yi Zhonghai and his apprentice Jia Dongxu, who also lived in the middle courtyard, and He Yuzhu, who worked as a cook in the back kitchen of the rolling mill, were walking out of the second entrance.

Seeing Chu Xiangqian, Yi Zhonghai and Jia Dongxu warmly greeted each other, but Sha Zhu remained silent with a dark face.

Chu Xiangqian thought about it for a while, and guessed that he must have invited Xu Damao to dinner last night. Sha Zhu, Xu Damao's deadly enemy, felt upset.

He smiled and said, "Grandpa, Comrade Jia, Master He, are you going to work?"

Yi Zhonghai smiled and nodded.

But my heart is actually quite tired, after all, he is the uncle of this yard.

Last night Chu Xiangqian invited the second uncle Liu Haizhong to his home for dinner, the reason was that there were guests at home and it was not easy to go to Liu Haizhong's home for dinner, so he simply invited Liu Haizhong to have a drink at home, which was considered to have resolved the misunderstanding of the day before yesterday.

But this is the reason, but Yi Zhonghai felt in his heart that Chu Xiangqian didn't call himself and the third master Yan Fugui to accompany the guests, because he didn't respect their elders.

If Chu Xiangqian knew what Yi Zhonghai was thinking, Jedi would spit on his face.

Go to your elders.

Do you really think that when you are a little older, everyone has to take him as a dish?
Elders who want to be human, unless they have helped them a lot, otherwise they will call you "Master" and take the initiative to say hello, that is the politeness of others.

But if you feel that you can tell others what to do because of this, then go as far as you can.

Yi Zhonghai nodded with a smile, as a response, and then noticed Da Zhuang and Hong Niu who were being led by Chu Xiangqian on a dog leash.

He frowned and said, "These two dogs are really strong. Xiao Chu, there are many children in the yard, you must keep an eye on them."

Chu Xiangqian smiled and nodded, but his heart was gloomy.

The phrase 'really strong' is not a good word in this period of insufficient food, it is embarrassing yourself.

Sure enough, Jia Dongxu remembered that his son Jia Geng and second daughter Xiaodang were still young.

He hurriedly said, "Comrade Chu, there are indeed too many children in the yard, and it's better to keep them in the house from now on. You, Brother Jia, and I didn't mean to find fault on purpose. It's us fathers who are worried about an accident."

This was polite enough, and Chu Xiangqian was not an ignorant person, so he could only nod.

At the same time, I also felt that Jia Dongxu looked pretty good.

Silly Zhu at the side answered, "Why talk so much! According to me, dogs shouldn't be kept in this yard. What's the use of regretting after hurting the child?"

As soon as Chu Xiangqian heard it, he knew that this kid was angry at himself because of Xu Damao.

I thought to myself, teach you to be good.

Patting the heads of Da Zhuang and Hong Niu, he smiled and said to Sha Zhu, "Sha Zhu, how about we make a bet?"

Silly Zhu and the people around were taken aback, no one cared about Chu Xiangqian calling He Yuzhu silly Zhu.

Sha Zhu is also a pushy guy.

Seeing everyone looking over, he asked suspiciously, "What bet?"

Chu Qianqian looked at the yard, and when they heard the commotion, they all stopped, and the neighbors who came to watch said, "It's normal for everyone to worry that their children will be scared and bitten by dogs.

If I had children, I would be the same as you, so I made a bet with Shazhu.

Just bet on whether my two dogs can understand some simple commands to prove that they are well trained.And any dog ​​that has been trained will definitely not bite people unless it is in extreme circumstances.

Of course, the premise is that some unreasonable orders cannot be made. "

The third master heard the words and came over to help him, "Xiao Chu is right, you can't let the two dogs talk or buy things."

When the neighbors heard this, they couldn't help but nodded.

Sha Zhu chuckled, "What are you betting on?"

Chu Xiangqian didn't talk too much, he definitely couldn't gamble directly, "How about the two big front doors?"

A bag of Daqianmen costs 3 cents and 1 cent, and two pieces cost 6 yuan.

Although the money is about one-fifth or one-fourth of a normal person's salary, it is not too much.

But a ticket for two cigarettes is hard to come by.
