The sky had just turned pale, and Tao Wei, who got up early, put on his padded jacket, said hello to Geng Erfeng, ran straight to his small courtyard, took out the key from the pocket of his padded jacket, opened the courtyard door, walked through the courtyard, and dug it out from the big vat at the door. The house key opened the door, and Tao Wei opened the door and went back to the house. After lighting the stove, he went to see his parents first, and after talking about last night's success, Tao Wei returned to the back room to go to the Kang.

After vigorously moving the kang cabinet, some dark yellow and black walls behind the wall were exposed, and there was a deep crack in the lower part of the middle, and a slight recess made Tao Wei's eyes flash with a smile, and he stretched out his fingers to touch it. Touching, moving left and right, Tao Wei pulled out the recessed area, half of the brick wrapped in yellow mud fell into Tao Wei's hand, a small black hole appeared in front of his eyes, he put his hand into the hole, Tao Wei took out A small bag wrapped in a floral handkerchief.

Touching the small bag in the palm of his hand full of nostalgia, the scene of my mother hiding money every time gradually emerged in my eyes. The family of three huddled behind the kang cabinet, counting the only little savings with the only household appliances and small flashlights.

The nostalgic warmth seems to have happened yesterday, but today everything has changed. Tao Wei closed his eyes to block the warmth in his eyes, and with a smile on his lips, he slowly opened the small handkerchief, neatly Five dollars and ten dollars lay in the handkerchief.

One, two, three, each of which is the earnest expectation of his parents for him, each of which is the hard-earned money of his parents, coughing, swallowing the choking in his throat, the corners of his eyes are reddish Tao Wei took out the full two hundred and five yuan and moved the kang cabinet back to its original place. After thinking about it, Tao Wei took out the money and hid 20 yuan in the kang cabinet to adjust his mood. Take the money and lock the door and leave.

Back at Geng Erfeng's house, Tao Wei didn't say what to do, he just squatted on the ground to wear skewers, and the busy Geng Erfeng didn't ask any questions, just thought that Geng Erfeng, who was cooking on the kang when Tao Wei went home, cut the fungus and mushrooms soaked the night before and handed them to him. Tao Wei squatting aside.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Wan Yonggui and Wan Erlu, who were frozen in the face, came back with a carriage, and Geng Erfeng, who carried a basket of frozen fish from the cart, hurriedly handed the boiled ginger water to the two fathers. Wan Yonggui rubbed his numb and swollen hands after eating the ginger soup, and took the kitchen knife from Geng Erfeng's hand to slice the fish.

There was not much time, and the whole family of five went to battle, and finally packed up before two o'clock in the afternoon, brought a few dry pancakes to fill a kettle of hot water, didn't even eat food, and packed more tools than the day before The strings set off.

Huddled under the quilt, Tao Wei, who was gnawing on the dry big pancake, slowly chewed the pancake he swallowed with his saliva. The big pancake with only a little salty taste was baked by Geng Erfeng before departure, with a little bit of oil. The biscuits were so dry that people felt their throats were strained, but no one cared about the slight discomfort of the growling stomach.

A late departure means a late return. Along the way, Wan Yonggui slapped his horsewhip, stepping on the hard ground with his horse's hooves and galloping rapidly.

Hurrying and hurrying, the group of people who finally arrived in the county before dark went straight to where they were yesterday. When they saw Zhao Laonian who was looking forward to him, the family felt a little nervous.

And Zhao Laonian, who saw the carriage, waited for a long time and raised his heart for a long time, and finally his heart was at ease. Thinking of a stove full of sweet potatoes, Zhao Laonian's shriveled mouth with two missing teeth cracked a crack.

Didn't wait for the carriage to come to a stop and came forward to help? Zhao Laozhang, who was pulling the cart, smiled and helped while talking about how many people came to ask why the stall hadn't opened yet.

The wrinkled Waner donkey thanked him while quickly lighting firewood under the fixed stove. Before the pot boiled, the first man who paid for the money appeared in front of the busy booth yesterday.

Hehe smiled, "I just came here, I've been waiting for you for a long time, and I thought I couldn't get out."

While talking, the man near the cauldron twitched his nose vigorously, staring straight at the cauldron next to it, "Master, please light the fire, I haven't eaten yet."

The eager greeting made Wanerlu agree with a smile, stood aside and picked the fish skewers with ice balls one by one. Tao Wei looked at the man who showed his foodie nature and smiled softly, "Brother, today What do you eat?"

"Agaric fungus, mushrooms, fish, ten of each."

The man who was staring at the cauldron with good eyes lit up when he saw the slightly tumbling cauldron. The pungent fragrance made the man urge Tao Wei to get out of the pot quickly.

Smiling, Tao Wei counted out the same number but different strings and handed them to Geng Erfeng who was standing in front of the cauldron. He picked up the large basin on the ground and placed it beside Geng Erfeng. West Street rang.

And Wan Xiaodong, who was standing beside Tao Wei, had long since lost the shyness of yesterday, shouting louder than Tao Wei, and the astonishing volume of his small body made the man who finally got his mouth go hahaha laughing out loud.

He patted the stout Wan Xiaodong on the head, "Okay, the voice is really loud."

Wan Xiaodong who was praised laughed, "I have the loudest voice in my village."

The man provoked by the simple and honest Wan Xiaodong burst into laughter again, and the slowly gathered crowd quickly surrounded the small booth. In front of the busy booth, the few people with a clear division of labor still seemed a little hectic, but after all After a day of exercise, it is smoother and faster than yesterday.

And when everyone was busy, there was a riot of cursing and cursing outside the crowd. Tao Wei, who was standing in front of the cauldron to collect money, looked at the few gangsters who were dangling cigarettes and pushed away from the crowd and swayed in front of him. tight.

Just when he was about to speak, Wan Yonggui, who was standing behind, hurried forward, grabbed Tao Wei and threw Tao Wei to the back, his cheeks full of smiles looked humble like a speck of dust, "Brothers, brothers, want to eat What? My treat."

Wan Yonggui, who was bending over and kneeling, let the young man with long bangs line his mouth, smiled, stretched out his hand and patted Wan Yonggui's cheek twice, "Okay, come on, this place is Dude, how can I let the place or rent it?"

The clacking applause and the piercing voice of the male duck made Tao Wei's face darken, and he looked at the timid crowd around him with tense facial features. Although Tao Wei knew that he would encounter this kind of situation, he didn't expect it to come like this. quick.

Gently tugging on Wan Yonggui's skirt, Wan Yonggui, who squeezed out a smile, raised his head and looked at the man opposite, with a smile on his face hanging from a cigarette, but the greed in his eyes couldn't be concealed no matter what, he closed his eyes Close your eyes, "How do you guys plan to charge?"

The smiling Wan Yonggui lowered his eyelids to block the sullenness in his eyes, "Not much, 25."

The astonishing number made Wan Yonggui gasp, and exclamations sounded from all around. Tao Wei, who was stiff all over, looked at the faces full of laughter on the opposite side, and suddenly felt deep disgust in his heart.

Wan Yonggui, who stood up straight with a whimper, stepped forward with his tall and solid body, "Brothers, this is embarrassing, why do you do small business to earn that money, it's not easy for us farmers to do small business, can't you?" We can’t lose money even if we make money.”

Wan Yonggui's sudden retort, which was a little angry in his heart, made Tao Wei's heart skip a beat, and he quickly picked up the ax next to him for splitting wood.

There was a slap, and before Tao Wei stepped forward, a loud slap sounded. Wan Yonggui, who had been slapped severely, became anxious immediately, and slapped back with his big hand.

This one stabbed a hornet's nest. Accompanied by howling and cursing, several figures rushed towards Wan Yonggui. Amidst the crackling sound, Wan Yonggui, who was directly thrown onto the ground by four people, fell heavily to the ground, followed by him. , a person went straight to the steaming cauldron, raised his leg and kicked it, and Geng Erfeng, who was standing beside the cauldron, quickly blocked it with his foot.

The big foot kicked heavily on the stomach made Geng Erfeng's face pale in pain, and he hit the cauldron behind him with a thud, and the hot oil splashed from the cauldron that shook but didn't fall down wet most of Geng Erfeng's back skirt .

From Wan Yonggui's rebuttal, Tao Wei, who knew that he couldn't get better today, saw this scene, his eyes turned red, he pushed away the stupid Wan Xiaodong who was standing in front of him, and swung his ax at the little gangster who kicked Geng Erfeng. past.

The ax gleamed coldly, and Tao Wei, whose eyes were red, made the gangster with a scar in the corner of his eye and the surrounding crowd scream in shock. Suddenly, a hand grabbed Tao Wei firmly just when the ax was about to hit the opponent. With Wei's dry and slender wrist, the ax fell into the opponent's hand with his backhand.

Tao Wei, whose heart sank to the extreme, raised his head pale, and a smiling face appeared in front of him. Tao Wei frowned and looked at the other party, the first young man who paid for his own skewers. The man casually put the ax behind him, and the man who slapped Tao Wei on the back of the head pulled Tao Wei back, "Don't fail to learn when you're young, you can use the ax even if you have a lot of farts, and you can't find it if you cry. To tune."

While talking, he walked towards the huddled Wan Yonggui and others, but he didn't step forward to fight, but the man standing aside held the fish skewer in one hand, and kicked the broken stone next to him, "Long hair, skin itches gone?"

There was no scolding or even roaring, but just an understatement of greeting shocked the little gangster who was holding Wan Yonggui's arrogant long bangs, and turned his head stiffly to look at the smiling man standing beside him eating fish skewers. The face of the little gangster who sprang up was full of smiles, "Brother Zhang, why are you here? You see, the misunderstanding is purely a misunderstanding. We were just kidding, really."

He pulled up Wan Yonggui's little bastard like whitewashing the peace, making the man laugh, threw away the stick in his hand and walked up, glanced at Wan Yonggui whose nose was bleeding, withdrew his eyes and stretched out his hand to pat the little bastard's cheek, " Long hair, you know that brother Zhang has no other hobbies in his life, just delicious, you ruined his job today, what do you do when he is hungry and unhappy, besides, you said Who are you going to trouble with, you have to find trouble with my brother, long hair, why don't you go in and stay for a few days to chat with Xiaofei?"

Smiling, the joke-like words made Changmao break out in a cold sweat. Changmao almost didn't sit on the ground when he looked at Brother Zhang who was smiling but his eyes were icy. Changmao might have ignored it otherwise, but Zhang Guodong knew it clearly. Changmao, who was called brother, knew it very well. Changmao, who was standing on his feet, turned around and grabbed Wan Yonggui's hand, "Brother, you are my own brother, I am a bastard, you hit me and hit me."

While talking, he grabbed Wan Yonggui's palm-sized hand and slapped his face. Wan Yonggui, who has lived for almost 30 years, has seen this before. His legs are weak from the fright of the long hair, as if he was asking for help. Looking at Zhang Guodong who was standing aside with a smile, the poor Wan Yonggui made Zhang Guodong laugh out loud, but Zhang Guodong could also see that Wan Yonggui was a rural man, although he was a bit stubborn, he had never seen such a Something happened, Zhang Guodong, who was smiling like a bright big chrysanthemum, went up and grabbed the long hair by the collar, and rubbed his wrist to pull the long hair over.

Patting the long-haired face, "Okay, what should I do, I have nothing to tell you guys who walk around the streets, don't bother my brother."

After speaking, Zhang Guodong, who let go of his hand, clapped his hands as if throwing away a piece of garbage, and turned his head to look at the stunned Tao Wei and others indifferently.
