The train driver in the courtyard

Chapter 200

The summer morning style is cool, giving people a feeling of refreshing comfort.

Li Aiguo was riding a bicycle, carrying Lou Xiao'e, and there was a Feige bicycle hanging behind him.

This trailer-like existence has attracted a lot of attention.

The old man doing morning exercises almost lost his eyeballs: "Where is the train driving on the street?!"

The distance of more than ten miles is only the blink of an eye.

Arrived outside Lou's small villa.
Li Aiguo jumped out of the car, helped Lou Xiaoe off, then untied the thick hemp rope tied to the back, and took off the bike.

"Comrade Lou Xiaoe, goodbye."

Li Aiguo was still thinking about the junk shop, so he put on the bicycle with his long legs, and when he kicked the pedals, the bicycle rushed out like an arrow.

Lou Xiaoe looked at Li Aiguo's back, waved her hand, and murmured, "Goodbye."

"Who is it!"

Tan Liya came out of the small villa and walked up to Lou Xiao'e, her face was as cold as frost: "Moth, is he the train driver a while ago?"

Lou Xiaoe bit her lip and said stubbornly: "It has nothing to do with you, mother, I want to go back to sleep."

Seeing Lou Xiao'e's walking posture was wrong, Tan Liya's eyes widened, and with a cry, she stepped forward and grabbed her arm.

"Xiao'e, why are you still injured? The train driver must have bullied you, right?"

"Mother, what nonsense are you talking about? I accidentally fell down, and it has nothing to do with Comrade Li Aiguo!"

"You are going to get married soon. How can you run around if you don't want to prepare for the wedding! If your father sees it, he will scold you again."

"I will never marry Xu Damao!"

The two were arguing outside the door, alarming Lou Zhenhua who was reading a newspaper in the hall.

"Early in the morning, standing at the door arguing, if others see it, say that our old Lou's family doesn't understand the rules, let me come in."

Both Tan Liya and Lou Xiaoe were a little afraid of Lou Zhenhua, and obediently entered the hall.

Tan Liya sat on the sofa and told Lou Zhenhua what she saw just now.

"Old Lou, tell me, how can a big girl ride someone else's bicycle?! Does this still look like a lady?"

Lou Xiaoe pouted and said in disbelief: "It's a tandem bicycle, and it can accommodate two people. Besides, the higher ups are now advocating a new fashion and not following the old customs of feudal imprisonment."

Lou Zhenhua understood now.

Dare to feel for that nasty train driver, while he was not paying attention, he wanted to sneak up on his family's Chinese cabbage.

Can this be tolerated? !
"Snapped!"

The newspaper fell on the table, and Lou Zhenhua stood up and said with a gloomy face, "Xiao'e, you are not allowed to meet that train driver again."

Lou Xiao'e's face turned from red to white, her body swayed, and she held onto a chair to stand still.

In a voice almost roaring: "Father, why do you insist on me marrying Xu Damao, I don't like that person at all!"

She is like a little tiger.

It's just that in Lou Zhenhua's eyes, it's the kind of fierce milk.

Lou Zhenhua said with a cold face: "I am your father, and you are my daughter. I will raise you. If you eat and wear mine, you should obey me! There is no room for negotiation on this matter."

"Xu Jixiang has already gone through the formalities of returning from illness, and Xu Damao will take over soon. Your marriage should also be put on the agenda."

"I went to the factory today to ask for a month's marriage leave for you. From today on, you will stay in the house honestly and you are not allowed to go anywhere!"

After speaking, Lou Zhenhua looked at Chen Ma who was next to him: "Chen Ma, take Xiao'e back to the room."

"I'll still come."

Although Tan Liya was angry, she felt a little distressed seeing Lou Xiao'e so sad.

"You are the patriarch of the feudal family!" Lou Xiao'e yelled at Lou Zhenhua, turned around and staggered into the room, lying on the bed and crying.

Tan Liya entered the room, sat beside her, reached out to stroke her hair, and comforted her: "Xiao'e, your father is also doing it for your own good, and for the good of our family."

Lou Xiao'e sat up and wiped her tears: "Mother, if he is for my own good, don't marry me to that donkey-faced man, I hate that man."

Tan Liya sighed, helpless: "Silly girl, you are from the Lou family, so you should do your best for the Lou family."

Lou Xiaoe is not a silly girl.

He has already guessed why Lou Zhenhua must marry her to Xu Damao.

If she hadn't met Li Aiguo, she might have accepted her fate.

but
Thinking of this, Lou Xiao'e felt a dull pain in her heart, and couldn't bear it anymore, lying on the bed and crying bitterly.

Seeing Lou Xiao'e like this, Tan Liya sighed, stood up and went back to the living room.

She helped Lou Zhenhua make a cup of tea, brought it over, and said softly, "Old Lou, I think moths really like that train driver."

"Stop mentioning it!" Lou Zhenhua slammed the teacup on the table.

The hot tea inside splashed out and scalded Tan Liya's hand.

She covered her hands but dared not make a sound.

She is Lou Zhenhua's third concubine, and since she entered Lou's house, she has been set up according to the rules.

Although the eldest wife and the second wife are long gone, the rules are like the beams in the house, standing on top of the head forever.

unless the house collapses
Lou Zhenhua saw that Tan Liya's hands were burning red, and his face softened a little. He lit a cigar:

"I have already explained this to you.
Now the wind in the newspapers is getting more and more wrong.

Jincheng's private businesses have all transitioned into advanced forms of state capitalism.

Capitalist industry and commerce in the capital has already completed public-private partnerships across the industry. "

His tone gradually became heavy: "What's the next step?! Is it our turn?"

Tan Liya said: "But Xiao'e is just a child."

"Then she's also a child of our Lou family!" Lou Zhenhua said coldly, "I've already decided on this matter, so don't mention it in the future. From today onwards, take care of Lou Xiao'e and don't let her run around!"

Tan Liya felt a little wronged.

Both the eldest and the second young master were sent to Hong Kong City.

But let a girl stay in the capital.

Lou Zhenhua spoke eloquently, but it's not because he favors boys over girls!

It's just that it can't be said.

the other side.

Li Aiguo returned to the courtyard in a hurry today.

It was because the house had been repaired for half a month, and after spending a total of 53 yuan and [-] cents, it was finally finished.

Today is the official "delivery" day.

Later generations will hold festive activities when they move into a new house, which is also called overfire meal.

Invite relatives and friends to have a fire meal, so that the crowd will be more lively, which can be regarded as a gathering of popularity.

For those who are more particular, they have to hold a big banquet, hold a ceremony before moving in, and worship the land.

Of course, in this day and age, thrift is being advocated on the streets, and it is certainly not possible to make a fuss.

Li Aiguo also invited Aunt Liu, He Yushui, Wang Dakui, Zhang Erpao, Wang Gangzhu and a few good neighbors to his house for a casual meal.

Just opened the door and entered the house.

Wang Dakui came to the door, still holding two hairy things in his hands.

"Patriotic, I met this at the pigeon market last night. It's very fat. It's just right for spicy fox meat."

fox? ?
Li Aiguo's eyes widened immediately.

Isn't it, the brown soft fox fur is fluttering in the wind.

Originally, he planned to go to the vegetable market to buy some pork.

With these two foxes, there is no need to worry about meat and vegetables.

Although fox meat has some peculiar smell, it is still delicious as long as it is subdued with heavy salt and spicy.

"What about the Second Artillery?"

Li Aiguo took the fox and weighed it, it was really heavy.

"Scrap shops can't do without people. After lunch, I'll just bring him some."

Seeing Li Aiguo standing there motionless with the fox in his arms, Wang Dakui asked with a smile, "Brother Aiguo, can you kill a fox?"

Li Aiguo rolled his eyes and ignored him.

Wang Gangzhu was squatting at the door, brushing his teeth.

Hearing this, he raised his head to answer the question: "He only eats foxes. Leave it alone. I'll clean up for you later after I brush my teeth."

Isn't it easy for a pig butcher to kill a fox?

Of course, we, Li Aiguo, can't be idle either, we have to go to the supply and marketing agency to buy some seasonings.

Wang Dakui is from his own family, so let him help greet the guests first.

Li Aiguo walked out of the Crescent Moon Gate and walked towards the front yard. Passing by the middle yard, he saw Qin Huairu squatting there washing clothes.

How many clothes does this woman have to wash, why is she washing clothes every time I see her?

When Qin Huairu heard footsteps, she raised her head and hurriedly shook off the water on her hands: "Li Aiguo, I heard that your house is finished? Do you want to help?"

Li Aiguo didn't expect Qin Huairu to talk to him.

After being stunned for a moment, he waved his hand: "No need, Aunt Liu and He Yushui are here, they are enough."

He didn't stop talking, and went out of the Crescent Gate and went straight to the supply and marketing cooperative.

Qin Huairu paused again, with a gloomy expression.

When she thought that Li Aiguo had organized it like the experts' building of Su experts, and she could only live in Jia's dilapidated house, she felt a little regretful.

If only I could hold on for a while longer, that would be fine.

It is a pity that there is no regret medicine in the world.

"Huairu, why do you pay attention to Li Aiguo, do you still want to be nice to him?"

When a man marries a beautiful daughter-in-law, he is most afraid of her daughter-in-law's provocation.

Especially Jia Dongxu is still that kind of weak man, every time Qin Huairu talks to other men, he feels a chill in his head.

In the past, when Jia Zhang was around, Jia Zhang stared at Qin Huairu.

Now that Mrs. Jia Zhang has been driven back to her hometown, it is Jia Dongxu's turn.

If it was changed to before, Jia Dongxu would definitely have cursed.

But ever since Jia Zhang was sent back to the countryside, Bang Jian became Yi Zhonghai's godson.

As the mother of a stick, Qin Huairu's status in Jia's family has improved day by day.

And Yi Zhonghai seems to admire Qin Huairu very much, and often invites her to chat with his mother at home.

Qin Huairu rolled her eyes and pretended to be angry and said, "You are such a fool. I saw just now that Li Aiguo's friend picked up two foxes. They must eat fox meat today. I wanted to rub some, who I know that Li Aiguo will not take the bait."

Jia Dongxu heard the words and cursed: "Li Aiguo's grandson is such a thief, he doesn't know how to give us some of the delicious food."

of course.

Jia Dongxu is also good at talking.

If it was Jia Zhang's, this would have already started.

He missed Jia Zhang a little bit.

When Li Aiguo was buying salt and dried peppers at the supply and marketing cooperative.

I also bought some peanut nougat and melon seeds.

Wait until you get back to the courtyard.

Qin Huairu waited anxiously by the pool, thinking that Li Aiguo should also invite her, after all, she also lived in that house for a while.

Li Aiguo saw it, but pretended he didn't.

He went back to the house with his things.

At this moment.

Aunt Liu and He Yushui also came, and they were greeting Cao Wenzhi and other workers of the chartered crew in the house.

Seven or eight gifts were placed on the table.

A brand-new iron-shell thermos, two porcelain bowls, and a fruit plate made of bamboo strips.

The most valuable is one side of the blue calico quilt printed and dyed with lion balls.

No need to ask, these are brought by the workers.

"You guys are too polite." Li Aiguo was moved in his heart.

These gadgets are not cheap in this day and age.

The white driver stood up and said with a smile, "Patriotic, you are a member of our 131 package crew, just like our brothers and sisters."

"Yes, yes." Cao Wenzhi also stood up and echoed.

Liu Qingquan said cheaply: "Isn't Aiguo your apprentice? Why did you become brothers? Isn't this messing up the seniority?"

"Snapped"

As soon as the words fell, Cao Wenzhi slapped Cao Wenzhi on the head: "He is my apprentice and your brother, can't he?"

Liu Qingquan: "."

There was a burst of laughter in the house.

When it was close to noon, Li Aiguo was about to invite Wang Gangzhu, when this guy came into the house with a butcher's knife.

"Where? Where?"

His fierce appearance startled everyone in the room, and Cao Wenzhi even drew out his dagger for self-defense.

"Master, don't worry, this man is my neighbor and he is here to kill the fox."

"Good guy, I thought it was revenge!"

Wang Gangzhu also realized that he seemed a little reckless, he greeted everyone with a smile, and took the cigarette handed over by Captain Bai with both hands.

Captain Bai is wearing the conductor's uniform and a big-brimmed hat today.

In this day and age, it doesn't matter what kind of uniform you wear, as long as you wear it, you are respected.

Taking the cigarette from Captain Bai made Wang Gangzhu feel more honored. This is a real female leader. Look at how shiny the badge on the brim of the hat is.

Wang Gangzhu put his hands together to light a cigarette, and then he took the two dead foxes from Li Aiguo's hand.

"The hands of the strikers were quite black. A stick hit his forehead, and the fox burped on the spot."

Farmers in the suburbs of Beijing in this era were reluctant to use bullets when hunting foxes.

They all use sticks and the like, and when the fox is not paying attention, a stick flies out.

After smoking, Wang Gangzhu pressed the cigarette butt on the floor, threw it out of the room, picked up the butcher's knife and made two gestures.

"Is this thing too big for you, is it handy?" Cao Wenzhi also became interested, squatting beside him and asked.

Wang Gangzhu smiled innocently: "Don't worry, I've been a butcher for more than ten years, and this butcher's knife is amazing."

Cao Wenzhi didn't believe this, but when Wang Gangzhu really made a move, he was shocked from ear to ear.

With a movement of Wang Gangzhu's wrist, the tip of the butcher's knife picked up, and picked up the fox's hind limb at the elbow joint.

A sharp butcher's knife, like a scalpel, is picked along the long-short hair dividing line on the back and abdomen of the thigh, through the front edge of the anus to the elbow joint of the other hind limb, and finally to the midline of the tail to the rear edge of the anus, and then The fur on either side of the anus is picked apart.

Usually at this point, the next step is to tear the fur of the fox by hand.

However, Wang Gangzhu still used a butcher's knife, inserted between the skin and meat of the leg, and peeled it in a cylindrical shape from the back arm to the head.

While peeling, let Mrs. Liu sprinkle bran on the fox's body to prevent the newly peeled fur and flesh from sticking together.

In the blink of an eye, a complete fox skin was peeled off, complete with ears, eyes, and nose.

Everyone was amazed by this technique.

A voice of exclamation suddenly came from outside: "There is no one else, but familiar hands! The ancients never deceived me."

Li Aiguo looked up.

I saw Yan Bugui standing outside with a half plate of peanuts, his small eyes behind the tortoiseshell frame blinking.

"Patriotic, congratulations"

Li Aiguo reached out to take the peanuts, "Hey, third master, thank you, Xie Cheng is working overtime and will be back soon, you have to go home and cook for Xie Cheng, I won't keep you."

After finishing speaking, he turned around and entered the house without any intention of letting him in.

Yan Bugui: "."

His calculations were completely blinded.

Originally, I wanted to rely on half a plate of peanuts to eat meat and drink wine.

Who would have thought that Li Aiguo would not play cards according to common sense.

But what Li Aiguo said was right.
Yan Jiecheng is working overtime today, so he must have earned money again, so he has to get it back quickly.
