Scholars in the courtyard

Chapter 81 The Weird Roof (Subscribe)
Everyone who returned home was sad, not to mention for the time being.

In the house, Yang Xiaotao was eating instant noodles, looking out the window, the rain was still falling, but today's business was not over yet.

His eyes swept over the residents in the yard, and finally placed them on Jia's house.

Taking the lead to destroy the vegetable garden, how can it end like this?
Being kicked, beaten, so what?
It wasn't him who hit it.

The 20 yuan was just a pain for the Jia family for a while.

What he wants is to make the Jia family fear, fear, and fear.

Under the night, the rain continuously washed the green bricks and green tiles, washing away everything.

The Jia family, Jia Zhang's family and Jia Dongxu put on clean clothes and threw the clothes with footprints into the basin. This is Qin Huairu's job tomorrow.

As for Qin Huairu, she has long since looked away. Anyway, this family can deal with everything, and with a heavy stomach, she would lie down and sleep after eating something to cushion her stomach.

On the other side, Jia Dongxu was beaten up, and he was still a person who usually met in the courtyard. He couldn't get angry, and his heart was upset. He felt the wound on his body and couldn't sleep at all.

Especially Jia Zhang, hiding on the bed, holding the box and counting the pension money inside.

Without 20 yuan, half of the pension money has gone, like a piece of heart and liver cut off, and the eyes are full of hatred when looking at the yard.

Mentally pondering how to make up for the 20 yuan.

Both of them couldn't fall asleep, and they looked at the roof at the same time. Although it was dark, there seemed to be a mysterious treasure there, attracting the eyes of both of them at the same time.

Gradually, Jia Dongxu's eyelids began to twitch, and when he was about to go to bed, he suddenly felt his face was cool, and when he reached out to touch it, it was still a little moist.

what.

Jia Dongxu was puzzled, and was about to get up, but found water drops falling from the top of his head.

"No, it's raining."

Jia Dongxu jumped up screaming. At this moment, the top of his head could not be described as raindrops. The falling water drops had become waterlines, rushing down.

Jia Dongxu screamed, Qin Huairu on one side was woken up, and was about to ask what happened when he got up, but felt that the bedding around him was wet, and then he saw water drops left on the top of his head.

Jia Dongxu had already lit the lamp, and Jia Zhang also got up and asked what was going on.

"Mom. It's raining."

Qin Huairu yelled that Jia Dongxu had found a basin to save water.

"What? Why is it leaking?"

"It's been so many years, and it's never happened before."

Jia Zhang felt incredible, looked up, was startled by the accident above her head, and sat down on the ground.

"Dongxu, look, then, what is that?"

Jia Dongxu turned his head to look at the roof, and backed away again and again in fright.

Ah~~~
Qin Huairu was even more frightened and screamed, and instantly woke up the people in the courtyard.

"Monster~~~"

Immediately afterwards, Jia Zhang's voice came again, and the confused people were also quarreled.

"Damn it, what are you screaming, can't you sleep?"

"Jia Dongxu, you fucking control the old women, if you keep barking and disturbing your sleep, I'll break the door for you."

The people in the yard are not used to them, especially just kicked a few times tonight, and this time it hasn't subsided yet, so they started yelling at Jia's family.

However, not only did the Jia family's cry not stop, but it even grew louder.

"Well, well, do you have a sense of public morality? What do ghosts scream at night?"

Silly Zhu couldn't bear it anymore.

"Go to sleep now."

Grandpa was also woken up.

Everyone shouted, but no one came out to see what was going on, even though Jiazhang's ghosts and monsters screamed for a long time, no one came.

As for Jia Dongxu, he had supported the fainted Qin Huairu and hid in the corner, looking at him with a terrified expression.

At this time, on the roof of Jia's house, a few branches drilled out of a beam, and it was these branches that pushed the tiles away, and fell to the ground with a crash, revealing a large hole.

patter
The kerosene lamp was extinguished somehow, and Jia's house was in darkness. Jia Zhang subconsciously hid behind Jia Dongxu, and the family of three leaned together, watching the strange things in the house, feeling even more frightened.

"Dongxu, Dongxu!"

"Mom, I'm here, don't squeeze."

"Dongxu, Dongxu."

"Mom, stop yelling, I'm so scared."

"Dongxu, woo woo woo, do you think we committed a crime? What kind of taboo did we commit?"

"Mom, don't scare me!"

"Woooooo, I, I'm scared too."

"Dongxu, look, it's still moving."

"Stop talking~~~"

In Jia's house, the opening on the roof has been stopped, but the beams covered with branches are as ferocious as a ghost, and even a glance is scary.

The rain was still falling, Jia Dongxu hugged Qin Huairu, Jia Zhang carefully hugged the quilt to one side, and the family of three hid in the corner on the other side, waiting for the dawn.

Yang Xiaotao was lying on the bed, listening to the noise in the yard, smiling.

At this time, Xiaowei turned down from the roof and landed next to her ear.

"Good job!"

"shhhhh"

The rain was falling lazily, and a dark alley became even more secluded.

It was a famous place for fireworks before liberation.

After liberation, although rectification was carried out, it is still a place where darkness gathers.

In the room decorated with oil lamps, Qian Yixing was trembling and dared not say much.

"I asked you to stay in the security department to be my ear."

"You're welcome, you've learned a lot."

"You dare to make decisions without authorization, is that something you should take care of?"

"Trash, trash!"

Li Delin spouted wildly, and finally picked up the water glass on the table, and took two sips.

"Old Li, don't be angry, it's not worth it if you get angry."

A female voice came from the side, soft and waxy, "Isn't Yixing also trying to help you?"

"Calm down, drink some water."

After finishing speaking, the man was already sitting beside Li Delin, holding a water glass in his hand and handing it to him.

Li Delin looked at the woman in front of him, and there was more fire in his eyes.

"For your sister's sake, I'll spare you this time, get out."

Qian Yixing nodded quickly as if he had been pardoned, "Biao, cousin-in-law, then, can I still, can I still stay in the factory?"

Li Delin was about to explode when he heard this, but the woman at the side stood up, walked up to Qian Yixing and kicked him out, "Idiot, how can your brother-in-law handle such a small matter?"

"Get out now!"

Qian Yixing swallowed, and ran out quickly.

In the room, the woman walked up to Li Delin and sat on Li Delin's lap, "Where's your tigress?"

"Don't mention her, spoil the fun!"

"Okay, okay, don't talk about her, recently, you have come a little less often!"

"What's wrong, miss me?"

"What do you say..."

In the house, there is a beautiful scene.

Qian Yixing walked in the alley with a gloomy face, feeling depressed.

Originally, he thought that by virtue of this success, he would be able to call the wind and rain in the rolling mill. With the help of Li Delin's line at that time, it would be possible to become the chief of the security department in two years.

But now, it turned out to be a shipwreck in the gutter, putting his own future in it, and thinking of this made me feel angry.

"Damn Yang Xiaotao in his bangs."

"When I gain power, I will definitely make you look good."

Qian Yixing walked with his head down, taking advantage of the moonlight, and followed the familiar path back home.

He didn't find a big tall man behind him, he followed him until he walked into the house and didn't leave.

On the next Sunday, the weather cleared up, and the frightened Jia family finally saw the light.

However, the light actually came from the hole in the top of the head.

Jiazhang thought about it half the night, and still discussed with his son and daughter-in-law, and this matter should not be revealed.

Otherwise, if such a strange thing happened in their Jia family, if others knew about it, wouldn't it mean that their family had violated a taboo?

Jia Dongxu also didn't want to be surrounded by others, and Qin Huairu didn't even want to.

After all, she was fine before she married in.

When the three of them got together, Jia Dongxu immediately found an ax and machete to deal with the beams.

Then he went to the front yard to borrow a pair of ladders, went next door to find a mason, and stopped by the uncle's house to ask for the tiles, while Qin Huairu went to the yard to dry clothes and quilts.

As for Mrs. Jia Zhang, she just stayed outside the door. She didn't dare to enter the house until the house was repaired.

When I meet people passing by, I just say a few words, the house leaked rain last night, so I won’t be missed.

So, the whole morning, Jia's house closed the door and worked hard, and it was not until noon that the roof was mended.

The three of them sat in the tidy room, looking at the roof from time to time, still feeling apprehensive.

When they cut off the wooden fork, the three of them could see clearly that the protruding branch spelled the word "death" twistedly, which scared the three of them a lot.

"Qin Huairu, hurry up and cook."

"It's only because you came that so many things happened. I think you are a broom star."

"Hurry up and cook, don't be conscious."

The more Jiazhang thinks about it, the more she thinks that it must be Qin Huairu who brought the bad luck to his family.

Tonight, I will burn some paper money to Lao Jia, and let him bless her and her son underground.

Qin Huairu was trembling with anger when she heard the words, she didn't say much, she walked to the stove and was ready to cook.

As for Jia Dongxu, not only did he not explain it for her, but he seemed to agree with it, which made her feel even more psychologically.

After Yang Xiaotao finished his breakfast and read a book, he went to Zhou's house and chatted with Zhou Peng and the others for a while.

When Yang Xiaotao left, Zhou Kui said a few words to Yang Xiaotao.

Make a note of it in your heart, and then go to the supply and marketing cooperative.

I got a watch ticket yesterday, and I have money on hand, so I naturally want to buy one to facilitate time management.

After walking for half an hour, I came to the Red Star Supply and Marketing Cooperative.

At this time, there are not many people in the supply and marketing cooperative, or there are usually not many customers.

Walking in, three saleswomen were sitting together talking, surrounded by wooden shelves displaying many goods, even the counters were polished wood, the whole room was a little dark.

Seeing someone walking in, one of them stood up and walked over with a smile on his face, which made Yang Xiaotao feel a lot more cordial.

In the past, I always heard how arrogant and domineering the salesmen in the supply and marketing cooperatives were, and even had the habit of beating people with their hands.

Now it seems, not necessarily so.

After all, the new era advocates serving the people. Can a salesperson not have this awareness?

"Hello, comrade, what do you need?"

The saleswoman was wearing overalls, her white face showed two small canine teeth when she smiled, and she felt happy when she saw her.

"Hello comrade, I want to buy a watch!"

Yang Xiaotao said truthfully, the saleswoman was startled first, and then quickly recovered.

Although watches are also one of the four major items, there are quite a few that can be worn.

It's just that everyone pays attention to one practical thing these days, that is, among the four major items, if you can buy it, you should give priority to buying bicycle sewing machines.

As for watches, they are bought only when they are in demand.

However, the salesperson also understands that young people need a watch to show off their capital.

They have seen people like Yang Xiaotao a lot.

"Okay, please come with me."

The salesperson brought Yang Xiaotao to a counter and took out a wooden tray with a dozen watches on it.

Yang Xiaotao looked carefully, and found that there were belts, semi-steel, and all-steel, with different styles, different manufacturers, and different prices.

However, most of these watches have Russian characters on them.

After thinking about it carefully, Yang Xiaotao understood what was going on.

There is no large-scale production of watches in China yet, but it should be soon.

If I remember correctly, this year is the time when Shanghai Players will be released.

This is also the first mass-produced watch in New China.

"It seems to be called A581!"

Yang Xiaotao recalled carefully, but found that there was no such model on the counter.

Obviously, these four nine cities have not yet been supplied on a large scale.

Yang Xiaotao is not a person who doesn't buy non-domestic products. After a while, he fell in love with an all-steel watch, a Victory brand watch from a furry bear. Of course, it is a foreign trade model.

After the selection, I took out the watch ticket and counted another 79 yuan, and then the salesperson wrote the invoice and certificate, and gave me a wooden box for packaging.

Afterwards, this Victory brand watch was worn on Yang Xiaotao's left hand.
