The old man raised his head, squinted his eyes, and looked at Yang Xueli for a moment, a deep light flashed in his cloudy eyes.

"That's it."

He reached out and took out a piece of mud from the stained wooden box. His seemingly clumsy fingers were extremely flexible. He pulled, pulled, pinched, kneaded and rubbed it just right without any deviation.

In just a moment, a small clay figurine shaped like Yang Shirley appeared in the hands of the old man. The little clay figurine held a book in one hand and raised a sword in the other, with a majestic look and a heroic appearance.

Yang Shirley couldn't help but widen her eyes. This was no longer a street gadget, but a work of art.

"this"

"How's it going, girl, are you satisfied? Do you need me to make some adjustments?" The old man put the little clay figurine on the wooden box and wiped his hands. The expression on his face was calm, as if he had completed a piece of work and it was normal.

But work.

"No, no, this is perfect enough." Shirley Yang took out ten dollars from her pocket and handed it to the old man.

The old man put down the tattered towel and looked at the big unity sheet calmly: "The bill is too big, and I don't have that much change."

"No need to look for it." Yang Xueli straightened her body and raised the corners of her mouth slightly.

Then I went to the supply and marketing cooperative and bought some seasonings.

He just felt that Qin Huairu came to the door and there seemed to be the shadow of the deaf old lady behind him, so he took a casual look.

"Compensation?" Li Weidong's heart moved, and a strange smile appeared on his face.

However, some small roads cannot withstand the crushing of heavy trucks. Every time the trucks get off the road, the weak roads are cracked, and Li Weidong can only return disappointed.

The deaf old lady is a descendant of a Tatar official. She has lived in the capital for many years. She did not know how to speak the Northeastern dialect. She learned it after being scolded several times by Han Zhizhi.

Li Weidong took out fifty cents from his pocket and handed it to the old man: "Old comrade, thank you."

Of course Li Weidong didn't know that the deaf old lady was peeking.

Seeing that the old man didn't seem to understand, Shirley Yang continued to explain in her Beijing dialect mixed with Hong Kong flavor.

Qin Huairu caught a glimpse of the strange smile on Li Weidong's face, and immediately understood what this man needed.

The deaf old lady also claimed that she had knitted straw sandals for the army.

Because she only has great unity in her pocket

"Comrade, buy two pieces of Cuban candy."

She caught up with Li Weidong in small steps and walked forward side by side with him.

While talking, Qin Huairu winked at Li Weidong.

As if afraid that Li Weidong would regret it, the boss comrade wrapped the mutton in newspaper and handed it over.

It can be seen from this that the true face of the deaf old lady is hidden in a fog and has not been revealed in the original work.

Li Weidong rode his bicycle and returned to the courtyard. As soon as he sat down and before he picked up the tea cup, Qin Huairu came to the door.

The old man's expression calmed down, he stood up, took the money, and nodded to Li Weidong: "Serving the people, it's not hard work."

In Hong Kong City, this small clay figurine, which can be called a work of art, costs at least 20 Hong Kong dollars. Also, at such an old age, he is still working hard on the streets in the cold wind. His life must be difficult. I would like to help him a little.

Help a little.

She explained the arrangements made by the deaf old lady.

Not as good as that.

Seeing the change in the expression on Li Weidong's face, Qin Huairu bit her lip and continued: "I know that Lao Yi and Lao Liu went too far this time. They were not arrested unjustly at all, but I just became a

Sir, two residents of the courtyard were arrested. When we went to the street to select the top gentleman of the courtyard, I will definitely not be selected."

Seeing Aunt Yi, Yi Zhonghai quickly stepped forward and took her hand, his voice trembling and said: "Old lady, are you here to save me?"

".I will pay attention to it in the future."

"Comrade."

Aunt Yi left the deaf old lady's house and hurried to the police station.

What about eating soft rice as promised?

Three generations of poor people have been plundered by capitalists. What is this?

The deaf old lady was lying on the window staring at Li Weidong. When Li Weidong suddenly looked over, she was so frightened that her calves trembled, the chair under her feet shook, and she almost fell to the ground.

The boss comrade hung the mutton on the scale hook and said with a smile: "Three kilograms, high."

Analyzing from Qin Huairu's words, the deaf old lady must have used her hidden connections to persuade the comrades at the police station to be open-minded to Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhongwang.

The other side.

Seeing Li Weidong take out a handful of meat tickets from his pocket, the boss comrade couldn't sit still anymore, put out the cigarette butt on the sole of his shoe, stood up and picked up the gleaming butcher knife.

There was no pork. After shopping around, Li Weidong found a lot of mutton hanging on the meat shelves in the meat shop.

Aunt Yi suppressed the sadness in her heart and said, "We have to wait a little longer. I went to find the deaf old lady."

The capitalists want us workers to work overtime, but there is no way!

On the way home, thinking that I haven't eaten meat for a while recently, I stopped by the vegetable market and planned to buy some meat.

"Comrade, here comes a little candy man."

Shirley Yang didn't seem to realize this. She had a candy man in her left hand and a snack in her right hand, eating them very happily.

Mutton has a stronger mutton flavor and less fat.

Most people can only give out two taels of meat stamps every month, so they should save it to buy fat and never waste it on mutton.

She knew that her relationship with Li Weidong was not tolerated by the world and could never be exposed to the sun. It was indeed more exciting to be secretive, but what woman didn't want to be able to get together with her man openly?

When a customer came, the middle-aged man didn't get up. He held a cigarette and said calmly: "Six cents a pound, and a pound of meat coupons."

You need meat tickets, no wonder mutton is not easy to sell.

This may not matter to other people, but Qin Huairu attaches great importance to it.

Xiao Zhang is the deaf old lady’s friend.

Unexpectedly, the deaf old lady almost fell to death.

"Hey, you old comrade."

Li Weidong is now the workshop director and gets a special meat ticket subsidy every month. Plus, Fatty Yu can get meat at any time.

People in this era are short of oil and water, and the fattier the meat, the more popular it is.

At this time, Yu Li had not yet gotten off work, and people were coming and going in the courtyard. In order to avoid suspicion, Li Weidong did not let Qin Huairu enter the house.

"Just help me this time. Don't worry, I will compensate you."

"How did this little bastard find me?"

The light of the knife flashed, and a piece of fat and thin mutton appeared in his hand.

Aunt Yi shook her head helplessly: "Who asked you to strike first? I just heard from Xiao Zhang that Li Weidong was acting in legitimate self-defense and you were beating him maliciously. He might have to stay in jail for three or four years."

It turned out that the pork in the market had been sold out.

"I said, no need."

"Comrade boss, what's the price of mutton?"

Yi Zhonghai once introduced to the residents of the compound that the deaf old lady was a household with five guarantees.

The sun dies relatively early in winter, and before six o'clock in the afternoon, the sky is already dark.

In less than half a day, Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong seemed to have aged several years.

He gritted his teeth and said, "Okay, as long as you promise my sister, I will endure the pain this time and grant your wish."

Following Li Weidong, Yang Xueli looked at the passers-by wearing blue and black overalls with thin faces but full of unique energy, and seemed to realize something.

After learning it, I often hide in the house and curse others secretly.

"You've got it."

Qin Huairu saw Li Weidong blocking the door. Although she understood his concerns, she still felt a little disappointed.

I don't care about this point.

When he heard that he needed to pay compensation, Yi Zhonghai's face turned cold: "I have never met Li Weidong at all. He is blackmailing me!"

What makes him regretful is that there are no ready-made hot pot bases for sale in this era, so he can only make his own.

Liu Haizhong also pointed to his head and said: "Look, I was beaten like this by Li Weidong. If I don't let him pay, it will be considered as a high-end incense."

"Did I go too far just now?"

This was the first time for Yang Xueli to see such a stupid person, and her temper suddenly rose. She stamped her feet and wanted to say something, but was stopped by Li Weidong.

However, the identity of the deaf old lady in the original work is also unclear and full of contradictions.

If you want to buy meat, it is best to queue up early in the morning.

In the courtyard, both Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong have become bereaved dogs, and there is nothing to fear. The only person who needs attention is the deaf old lady.
