Facing Li Donglai's invitation, Qin Fen and the group of members looked a little embarrassed and stood there cautiously.
Donglaishun is a famous restaurant in Beijing. Even a small boss in the factory has to consider whether his wallet is thick enough if he wants to go to Donglaishun for a meal.
If they were such a big group, if they all went, it would cost at least dozens of dollars, not counting meat and vegetable tickets.
Li Donglai is now the director and holds many positions. His monthly salary is nearly two hundred yuan, which is not a small amount.
Moreover, they felt that their coming to help the Li family this time was natural and voluntary, and they did not need Li Donglai's thanks.
Qin Fen smiled and said: "Brother Dong Lai, we understand your wishes, so don't worry about Dong Lai Shun. That thing is so expensive."
Li Donglai laughed and said, "Why are you so polite? I won't be able to feed you for one meal. That's it. I'm going to change clothes now and ask your sister-in-law Qiunan to find you an enamel basin. You can also wash it at the faucet in the middle courtyard.
one time."
Seeing Li Donglai's insistence, Qin Fen and the members did not shirk anymore. They knew that Li Donglai was a real person and would not play with words.
"Let's go to the faucet in the middle courtyard to wash up, and then go have a big meal with Brother Donglai."
Qin Fen took the members to the central courtyard to wash their faces and hands. Qin Huairu brought the sticks and Jia Zhang took the porcelain bowl and scooped pig manure out of the house.
The smell was fishy and pungent, and she almost fainted, but she could only endure it, otherwise she would have to sleep outside tonight.
Although it is spring now and the weather is getting warmer, it is still very cold at night. If you sleep in the open air, you will definitely freeze.
Qin Huairu struggled to scoop up the pig manure. When she raised her head and saw Qin Fen, her expression suddenly darkened.
She has heard what happened just now.
The members of the Red Star Commune rushed to the backyard fiercely and prepared to throw pig manure at the Li family, but Qin Fen and his men beat them up.
The members of the Red Star Commune, under Qin Fen's coercion, killed most of the pig dung.
Thinking about the scene at that time, Qin Huairu felt a little envious. Looking at the mess in her house, Qin Huairu felt suffocated.
If she could have persisted in Qinjiagou for two more years and became Li Donglai's wife, she wouldn't have to do this kind of job of burying people.
I regret it!
Seeing Qin Huairu stop, Jia Zhang became a little unhappy: "Qin Huairu, you little bitch, are you seeing the man unable to walk? It's getting dark before you see it, do you want us to
The whole family slept in the cesspool at night."
As soon as the words came out, she suddenly remembered something, threw away her job, ran to Qin Huairu, took Qin Huairu's hand and said: "Good daughter-in-law, mother has a way, as long as you act according to my way, we don't have to be here.
Thanks for your hard work."
Qin Huairu was stunned for a moment and frowned subconsciously: "Mom, what do you think we can do?"
Jia Zhang pointed at the Qinjiagou commune members who were washing their faces and narrowed her eyes: "Daughter-in-law, you are also from Qinjiagou. You should know all those commune members, right?"
"We know each other, Qin Fen is my cousin! The big cow and the second donkey next to me are my friends when I was a child." Qin Huairu looked confused: "But what does this have to do with our family!"
"You are such a fool." Jia Zhang's triangular eyes also squinted: "Think about it, they are all from Qinjiagou, and you are also from Qinjiagou, so they should help you clean up the pig manure.
"
"Is this possible?" Qin Huairu felt a little guilty. She had never spoken to those members since she married in the city. A few years ago, Qin Fen's mother was sick and she wanted to borrow 20 cents from Qin Huairu to help her see a doctor.
, Qin Fen spent the whole morning running to Jia's house, but was kicked out by Jia and Zhang, who beat and scolded him.
Qin Huairu was at home at that time, just hiding in the back room and not having the nerve to come forward.
Now that I have encountered difficulties, if I go to others to ask for help, will they agree?
Seeing Qin Huairu's hesitant look, Jia Zhang said with a sigh of relief: "Huairu, you have to think like this, we are city people, and now we are in trouble, it is their honor to ask these mud-legged people for help.
Also, if they had not arrived too late just now and failed to stop them before those people did, our family would not have suffered this catastrophe."
"They owe our family this, so they should help us!"
Qin Huairu thought about it carefully and realized that this was really the case.
If Qin Fen and the others had come earlier, the Jia family would not have had their shit thrown at them.
The Jia family is not being splashed with manure, and now they don’t have to work hard to scoop out pig manure.
The culprit turned out to be Qin Fen.
Qin Huairu thought of this, put down the porcelain bowl, strode up to Qin Fen, and said coldly: "Brother Qin Fen, go and help me clean out the pig manure from my house."
Qin Fen, who was washing his hands, was stunned when he heard this.
He stood up, twisted his stiff neck and looked at Qin Huairu: "Qin Huairu, what did you say?"
"I told you to clean out all the pig manure in my house!" Qin Huairu said in a thicker voice.
Qin Fen made a serious face: "Why!"
He is not the kind of person who is unsympathetic and unjust. Even if those unfamiliar people in Qinjiagou encounter difficulties, he will lend a helping hand.
But the Jia family can't.
He will never forget the words Jia Zhang scolded him back then.
Qin Fen, who had never cried before, sobbed quietly all the way back to Qinjiagou.
Just when he faced his mother in the hospital bed and didn't know what to do, Li Donglai appeared.
He brought Qin Fen's mother the medicine and a pheasant, and Qin Fen's mother was out of danger. She has been free from illness and disaster since then. She is already eighty-five years old this year and has become a well-known celebrity in a ten-mile radius.
long-lived old man.
Qin Fen does not hold any grudge against the Jia family, but there is no way for him to help the Jia family!
"Look, if you hadn't been late just now, our family" Qin Huairu told Jia Zhang's thoughts.
Qin Fen and the group of members were dumbfounded.
"What? So it's our fault that we didn't help?"
"When I was in Qinjiagou, I heard that the Jia family was unreasonable, but I didn't expect them to be so unreasonable."
"I am now suffering from rhinoplasty, and my eyes have been opened."
Qin Fen looked at Qin Huairu coldly: "Qin Huairu, I think you are just wishful thinking. Not to mention that your Jia family was splashed with pig manure. Even if the house was set on fire, I, Qin Fen, would not go up to help!"
Mrs. Jia Zhang happened to come over. When she heard these words, she subconsciously opened her mouth and was about to spit out feces. However, she caught a glimpse of the steel pipe on the ground and swallowed the dirty words once they reached her lips.
She licked her old face and walked up and said with a smile: "Comrade Qin Fen, I know that our two families had some disagreements before, but it has been so many years, and even the biggest hatred will disappear. You see, we
Now the family is old and young, please help me."
Qin Fen saw that the stick had grown into a strong labor force, and he wanted to make some sarcastic remarks about Jia Zhang, but he felt that trying to reason with such an unreasonable person would be asking for trouble.
He snorted coldly, turned around and no longer looked at Jia Zhang, and shouted to the members: "After you wash your hands, you will go to Donglaishun. Brother Donglai is treating you today, so you guys will have a good meal."
"Okay!" The members turned and left happily.
Looking at the backs of the members, Jia Zhang spat fiercely: "Damn Li Donglai, he just has two bad guys, why do he need to show off like this?"
Qin Huairu stood there in despair.
Before marrying Jia Dongxu, Jia Dongxu also promised her that after getting married, he would take her to have a feast in a big restaurant in the capital, including Donglaishun.
Qin Huairu believed it to be true at the time, and every night she dreamed that she was eating in Donglaishunli and ordered mutton hot pot. The mutton was tender and fragrant. When she took a bite, her mouth was filled with oil. It was so delicious.
However, after so many years, Jia Dongxu's promise has not been fulfilled.
Now Li Donglai has invited so many people to Donglaishun for dinner, which is really too extravagant.
If only she could have persisted in Qinjiagou for two more years
"Snapped!"
When Jia Zhang saw Qin Huairu standing there in a daze, she was so angry that she slapped her face in the face: "Why are you dazed? He has already left, and you have no use for it. You will be the one to scoop up the pig manure in the house later."
I’ve been doing this for a while, old lady, and my back aches.”
Qin Huairu wanted to cry but had no tears.
Seeing that Qin Fen and the others had finished cleaning, Li Donglai changed his clothes and went out with Ding Qiunan, Li Xiaomei, Wei Dong and Wei Guo.
The group of people walked vigorously outside the courtyard.
As soon as I walked to the front yard, a figure suddenly jumped out from the side.
Qin Fen subconsciously waved the steel pipe, but was stopped by Li Donglai.
Because the person blocking the road is Yan Bugui.
Although Yan Jiecheng framed Li Donglai a while ago, Yan Bugui did not know about it and did not participate in it. Li Donglai did not have many opinions on Yan Bugui.
and.
Today, Yan Bugui specially reported the news to Ding Qiunan. Ding Qiunan notified Li Donglai, so that Li Donglai could send Qin Fen and others back in time.
Otherwise, by the time Wang Ergou and the others arrive at the door of Li's house with the pig manure bucket, it will be too late.
To a certain extent, Yan Bugui was a great help to Li Donglai.
Li Donglai is the kind of person who repays kindness with kindness and revenge with hatred. Naturally, he will not be cold-hearted when facing Yan Bugui.
"Third uncle, what's wrong with you?" Li Donglai asked warmly.
Seeing Li Donglai's attitude, Yan Bugui secretly breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that his decision this afternoon was extremely correct.
He licked his face and smiled: "Dong Lai, there is so much pig manure in our compound, what do you decide to do with it?"
"Of course, let the members of the Red Star Commune clean up the pig manure." Li Donglai was a little confused.
"Oh! You really don't know how to live." Yan Bugui was anxious, patted his thigh and said loudly: "Pig dung is very valuable, haven't you heard of a saying, crops are like a flower, and the whole family depends on dung.
To get pig manure in rural areas, you have to ask for manure stamps."
Seeing Yan Bu Gui Dai's little eyes blinking behind the frame, Li Donglai narrowed his eyes slightly: "What do you mean?"
Yan Bugui rubbed his hands and said with some embarrassment: "As you know, things have been going on in our family recently. Yan Jiecheng failed to live up to expectations and divorced Yu Li. The family's wealth was almost wiped out. Life is very tight now."
"Since you have decided to throw away all those pig manure, can you leave them all to me? I will send them to Zuojiazhuang, and I will definitely get a lot of money in exchange for them."
hiss
As soon as these words came out, not only Li Donglai, but also Qin Fen and other members of the commune were shocked. They did not expect that there are such stingy people in this world who would not let go of even a bit of pig dung. Pig dung is precious.
, but how much is it worth! Yan Bugui looked so polite, but he was so generous.
Li Dong followed Yan Bugui's temper, took a deep breath and said: "Third uncle, are you really determined to take away these pig manure?"
"Oh, of course, these are all money." Yan Bugui narrowed his eyes.
"Okay, okay, I'll give it all to you!" Li Donglai opened his eyes, thought for a moment, and then said: "Since you want to send pig manure to Zuojiazhuang, then I will do it to the end, and it happens to be Red Star Commune
Those guys who are responsible for cleaning the yard, just ask them to load the pig manure onto the bullock cart and send it there for you."
"Oh, I still do things openly!" Yan Bugui was so happy that he couldn't open his mouth from ear to ear when he heard this. This way, he saved a lot of energy and didn't have to go to Zuojiazhuang to borrow an oxcart.
"Qin Fen, go and explain the matter to the guys from the Red Star Commune."
"Yes, don't worry, if they dare to say no, I will let them know how powerful our Qinjiagou people are."
Seeing that Qin Fen turned around and went into the hospital to explain things, Li Donglai couldn't leave now, so he started chatting with Yan Bugui.
"Third uncle, I always hear you say that you want to go to Zuojiazhuang. What does Zuojiazhuang have to do with you?"
Zuojiazhuang is a commune near the capital. It is more than 20 miles away from the capital. It is far not as close as the Red Star Commune. Even if you want to exchange things, you should go to the nearby Red Star Commune.
Yan Bugui smiled sheepishly: "The secretary of Zuojiazhuang Commune is the father of your third aunt."
Good guy, it turns out there is such a relationship. No wonder Yan Bugui dared to ride his bicycle to Zuojiazhuang to exchange food.
Li Donglai silently kept the news in his heart, chatted a few words with Yan Bu, and looked at the backyard from time to time, waiting for Qin Fen to come back.
At this time, Yan Bugui couldn't bear it anymore and whispered: "Donglai, I have to ask you for something. Yan Jiecheng did not do the right thing this time, but he is still young after all. If he is imprisoned in a fence,
Here, this life is over. As a father, I apologize to you. I hope you can show your kindness."
With that said, Yan Bugui made a move to kneel down. Li Donglai was startled and quickly stretched out his hand to support him.
"Yan Jiecheng is the eldest son of our Yan family. Before liberation, he was the legitimate son and would inherit our Yan family's family business. Now is the new society and we don't care about that anymore. But if something happens to Yan Jiecheng, it will affect Yan Jiekang and Yan Jiecheng.
Liberation, and Yan Jiedi.”
"I hope you can spare Yan Jiecheng this time for the sake of these children."
When Li Donglai saw that Yan Bugui was much older, his face was filled with tears and his heart felt a little soft.
Back then, when he first moved to Siheyuan, Yan Bugui was very helpful to him.
certainly.
It would be too easy to let Yan Jiecheng go like this.
Li Donglai thought for a moment and made several conditions.
"Third uncle, if Yan Jiecheng can do this, I will sign the letter of understanding."
