The butcher shop is open as usual and welcomes customers.
The butcher chopped a front hoof into more than a dozen pieces of meat with a few clicks, then packed it with lotus leaves, tied it with a thin hemp rope, and paid the money. Occasionally, the butcher could hear him and his customers exchanging a few pennies in the butcher shop.
Or a few pieces of meat and bones are bargained for, forming a corner of the puzzle in the market.
"Arong!"
A summons suddenly came from outside the butcher shop.
As soon as he finished speaking, the butcher's chubby son suddenly raised his head, dropped the boning knife with a clang, and almost trotted towards the visitor, shouting as he ran: "Teacher, why are you here?"
The butcher knew who this person was without even looking at him. He stared angrily and shouted angrily: "You old man, where have you been these past few days? You don't even say hello to anyone. What if?"
Where did you die, and who will collect your body?"
Little Fatty originally wanted to hug Chu Yao, but he was helping out at the butcher shop today. His fleshy hands were stained with animal oil and blood. He only realized something was wrong when he reached out halfway. He smiled and put his hands on the hem of his clothes.
I wiped it back and forth until it was covered with oil.
This scene made the butcher feel heartbroken and angry.
Unexpectedly, his son corrected his disrespectful remarks in a very serious manner, telling him to be virtuous and respect his teachers. The butcher had no choice but to curse and said: "You prodigal thing, you ruined the clothes your mother just pulled for you like this? You're tired of living."
you--"
After saying that, he raised the big palm of the cattail leaf without the knife.
When the little chubby boy saw this gesture, his buttocks subconsciously hurt, and he hurriedly hid behind Chu Yao, wishing that he could cover himself tightly, which would make the butcher even more angry. Chu Yao tried to persuade him in a funny way, but the butcher got very angry and said: "This little bastard
Ever since I learned a few words from you, I've been saying "teacher is long" and "teacher is short" all day long, just like a kid raised for you! Who am I working hard for every day?"
Chu Yao smiled and said: "This shows that Arong is filial and polite, and he treats his teachers like this, let alone his parents? What's wrong with this?"
The young Chu Yao may not be able to bear the contemptuous names such as "old thing" and "old guy", but now that he has been living at the bottom of Xiaocheng for so many years, some of his edges have long been smoothed away. He is acquainted with these neighbors and has a deep understanding of them.
I know there is something wrong with their mouths, their words are vulgar and unpleasant to listen to, and most of the time they have nothing to do with simplicity, but if you really want to say they are malicious, it's not that bad.
Just forget it after hearing it.
The butcher couldn't get used to hearing Chu Yao's words. He only knew that they were good words, so he softened his attitude, lowered his voice and was concerned about Chu Yao's whereabouts these days. During the time when Chu Yao was missing, his little bully-like child was about to die.
He was in trouble.
Chu Yao said: "I moved to a new place with the new owner's family."
The butcher then began to look at Chu Yao carefully, and suddenly found that the usually quiet old man had changed. Although his clothes were still starched and white, they were clean and without patches. The most important thing was his mental outlook.
Deadly and dejected, it seems that even his body is straighter than before and he looks several years younger.
Looking at this appearance, the butcher knew that Chu Yao's life was much better in his new master's house than in Yuehua Building, and he was secretly happy for him.
Butcher: "If that's the case, then my son..."
He originally wanted to say that there was no need to teach him anymore. He was greedy for cheap before, and because he saw how pitiful Chu Yao was, he wanted to help him, so he proposed to let Chu Yao teach his son. Now that Chu Yao has changed his master's house and moved to another place, he probably won't be able to teach him anymore.
He has extra energy to take care of his son.
He later spent more money to send his son to another private school.
When he thought of this, the butcher's face trembled with distress - that private school teacher was younger than Chu Yao, but more pedantic and rigid than him, old-fashioned, he could talk without saying anything, he liked to act like a scholar, and people from a poor family would think... If you send your child to school, he will have a long face and say "unworthy" in and out of his words. The poorer he is, the less merciless he will be.
It just so happened that the butcher was the one he despised the most.
I can almost imagine how long my pedantic and lifeless face would be if I came to ask for a place in school.
Unexpectedly, Chu Yao asked his son to continue reading it.
The butcher was naturally happy, but still asked: "Does your master agree?"
Chu Yao said: "I accepted a new student two days ago. One is taking care of them, and the other two are taking care of them. We can just take them together. It's just that things are a bit busy, so we need to come here every once in a while. Ah Rong must work hard and not slack off. I lose to your junior sister for being lazy."
Little Fatty's surname is Tu Mingrong.
This serious name was given by Chu Yao.
His previous nicknames were Da Shuan and Tu Da Shuan.
(*ΦwΦ*)
The butcher was stunned when he heard this: "Still a girl?"
Chu Yao said: "Although she is a girl, her talent is really good."
Feeling strange, the butcher raised his palm and slapped his son on the back of the head, threatening him in a vicious voice to study hard and not be lazy.
The little chubby boy shrank his neck, puffed out his cheeks and snorted, then hid behind Chu Yao and looked at the teacher with flashing eyes, expecting him to teach him new content. Who knew that Chu Yao was not here to teach him this time, but to teach him something new? Inquiring about some news.
Inquiring about news from several households. It is said to be inquiring, but in fact, it is just quietly leading the topic to those households when chatting.
This butcher shop is a "time-honored brand" that has been passed down for three generations. It never sells rotten meat and smelly meat. It is of high quality and low price. Most people in the neighborhood will buy meat from him, which also gives the butcher a huge "network of contacts". ", every family can tell a story about the gossip.
The butcher is not a careful person, so he naturally has no doubts. In addition, he himself is a loudspeaker who can't hold back his words. When the gossip started, he couldn't stop the car. He talked contentedly for a long time. Among them, Chu Yao wanted to know. key information.
Speaking of which, Chu Yao didn't ask anything. He just asked, "On the way here, I saw an old man who looked like Mr. Free play by the butcher.
The old man was also a "celebrity" in the neighborhood. He was stingy, liked to take advantage of others, and boasted. He almost beat the mother-in-law who gave birth to three daughters to death, and squeezed the three daughters in the family to raise two precious sons. The situation was so serious that the neighbors couldn't stand it. extent.
The eldest son is a street kid who likes gambling. The younger son is a low-ranking official and is a low-ranking official. As we all know, it is a fat job. It’s just that he was older when he joined the job. However, stealing money from the treasury requires childish skills, so the family's situation has not improved much.
Chu Yao asked this, firstly, to open up the conversation, and secondly, to test the current situation of his youngest son through the tight-lipped father-in-law. Counting taxes and money and loading cars cannot be completed in a day or two. The people above wanted to let the people below When a person tries his best, he not only gives warnings, but also rewards and appeases, a two-pronged approach.
If the family suddenly gets a small fortune and the family prepares dry food and clothes for the young son to travel far away, it means that the date is approaching.
Worried that the child from that family was not in the escort team, Chu Yao also made special inquiries about the other families.
