After Liu Ying'er and the old lady bought the groceries, Xue Xiang was about to put the little girl down, but the little girl hugged Xue Xiang's neck tightly and refused to let go.
"Beibei, be good, come down quickly, go home with grandma, and let uncle buy groceries." The old aunt pulled the little girl's little hand.
"No, I want my brother to hold me. He is so warm in his arms. I don't want to walk. If I'm with my brother, no bad guy would dare to bully Beibei." The little girl wrinkled her nose and clucked her mouth.
Ta, he spoke very quickly, with a childish voice and a milky voice, which was pleasant to the ear.
"Call uncle" the old lady corrected.
"It's a brother, not an uncle." Beibei shook his hand in a negative gesture.
Xue Xiang also liked this little girl very much. He touched her little head with his hand and said with a smile: "Brother, just brother, go home with grandma quickly. Next time, brother will come to your house to play with you, okay?"
"Brother is lying to people. You don't even know where they live."
"Then you can tell brother now."
"I live at No. 15 Beitiao Street, Dongcheng District. My brother must remember to come and see Beibei."
"Okay, I'll make a note of it. Next time someone bullies you, tell me your brother's name. My brother's name is Xue Xiang. Remember it."
"Remember it, next time my deskmate Xiao Ming pulls my pigtails again, I will call my brother's name, which will definitely scare him, haha, brother, you must come to see me, let's hook up." Beibei got Xue Xiang's
The name was very happy, and he stretched out his fleshy little finger to hook up with Xue Xiang.
Xue Xiang was dumbfounded for a moment and scratched his head. He really didn't know how to explain it. I'm afraid his reputation couldn't shake Xiao Ming in Beibei's mouth. Liu Ying'er looked at it funny, seeing that you were so proud that you were talking nonsense. It turned out that he was Xue Xiang,
The famous bad guy in Dongcheng, huh, he was indeed a gangster. Liu Ying'er was a little proud of her foresight.
Xue Xiang stretched out his little finger and hooked Beibei, then bent down and put Beibei down. With a pop, Beibei kissed her cheek. The little girl smiled brightly, and Xue Xiang felt warm in his heart. Xue Xiang took off the fox tie around his neck.
The fur scarf was wrapped around Beibei's neck and tied into a small knot.
Liu Ying'er's eyes were confused for a moment, what kind of person is he? Sometimes he is young and shy, gentle and elegant, sometimes he is cruel, bloody and violent, and now he feels tender and affectionate. It's so complicated! Whatever, I won't see you again anyway.
, Liu Ying'er drove away a trace of emotion in her heart.
It took some time for Xue Xiang to say goodbye to Beibei. None of the three salesmen and the crowd behind him dared to come up and urge him to hurry up.
Watching the three people leave, Xue Xiang walked to the window, put the food basket on the counter, grabbed all the tickets in his pocket, and threw them to the ticket inspector. Then he took out a shopping list, which was all full of things.
He then took out his tiger skin wallet and handed it over to the non-shortage dishes that required a ticket.
, let the girl in charge of collecting coins pick it out by herself. The girl who checked the tickets moved the bead on the bill and list and reported: "One hundred catties of rice, eighteen yuan and four cents, five catties and four taels of pork, four yuan and two cents.
Three pounds of liquor, one yuan and two cents, two pounds of fresh fish, ninety-three cents..."
The girl settled the calculations for a long time, counted out thirty-four yuan from the tiger skin wallet, and handed it back to Xue Xiang. Just as she was waiting for change, Xue Xiang waved her hand and asked her to eat sweets. The girl was blushing. She was responsible for supplying the goods.
The salesperson is a long-faced man in his twenties, who used to be a stubborn man in Dongcheng District. The fight just now happened
At that time, he also stood at the window and watched. He was shocked by Xue Xiang's amazing strength. Seeing that seven or eight people on the other side suddenly surrendered, he guessed that the person in front of him was the legendary third brother. At this time, seeing this
When the gentleman arrived, he immediately put a smile on his face, and his previous cold face and impatience with customers disappeared.
The vegetables are picked fresh and packed, and the wine is brought in large bottles. Anyway, everything is picked and packed. When it comes to cutting meat, the slender butcher knife is aimed at the fattest piece of pork belly to cut out large chunks.
He weighed it and put it into the small vegetable basket. Xue Xiang looked at the piece of meat and thought it was too fat, so he frowned and said nothing. He knew that the meat was in the vegetable basket.
You can't pick and choose when buying vegetables at the market. When selling meat, most of it is good meat, and "bad meat" is sold together. Most people in these days are short of oil and water, and the good meat at this time is the kind of fat pork with thin skin and thick fat.
, few people are happy to have lean meat, so at this time, having a relative who is a deliveryman is far more satisfying than having a relative who is an official...
The long-faced man saw Xue Xiang frowning and thought he was too young, so he immediately cut off a large piece of greasy pork belly. Seeing this, Xue Xiang understood that the other party had misunderstood, and said to the long-faced man: "Do you have any pig's trotters? Give them to me."
Here comes one."
The little girl checking the tickets whispered: "You don't have enough meat tickets." After saying that, she looked at Xue Xiang carefully, for fear that the tall young man in front of her would attack her. She had just witnessed the scene of slapping someone in the face and breaking someone's finger.
For a moment, I regretted my talkativeness.
Xue Xiangzheng was waiting to say that he didn't want the meat tickets if he didn't have enough, but the long-faced man was angry: "Why are you making such noise? The third brother came to my place to buy groceries to give me face. You don't have to talk about whether the tickets are enough. I'll make up for it later."
Come on." After scolding the little girl who checked the tickets, she turned around and adjusted her tone: "Third brother, don't argue with her, she is new here and doesn't understand the rules."
The little girl's eyes were red after being scolded, and she knew that Dongzi was defending herself. Xue Xiang felt a little sorry, shook his head and said: "You know me? It's okay, she acted according to the rules, but I was negligent. Forget it, I don't want the pig's trotters.
Already."
"No, no, third brother, you have to give me some face, otherwise I won't be able to get away with it if this gets out." The long-faced man was so anxious that he didn't even bother to explain how he knew Xue Xiang, for fear of
He didn't want it anymore and quickly took out a big fat pig's trotter from under the counter and stuffed it into Xue Xiang's vegetable basket. The pig's trotter weighed about seven or eight pounds and was hanging from the hind leg.
A large pile of lean meat, dark red in color, moist in texture, and obviously fresh. The vegetable basket was a bit short, so I took out the eggs wrapped in calico and put the pig's trotters in half of them poked out. The long-faced man was really worried that Xue Xiang wouldn't accept it.
If these stubborn people in Dongcheng knew that they dared not give face to the third brother, they might have to move their family out of Sijiu City for refuge in the future.
Seeing that the long-faced man refused to take the pig leg back, Xue Xiang didn't show any pretense. He took out a big dough stick from his wallet and stuffed it into the long-faced man's hand: "Thanks, buddy, I don't know your name yet."
"My name is Ding Weidong, you can just call me Dongzi." The long-faced man was ecstatic when he saw Xue Xiang accept the favor and call him buddy. From now on, Dongcheng will not walk sideways even if the third brother is poking behind him.
Ding Weidong didn't want to take Xue Xiang's money. He knew that if he wanted to do a favor, he would do it, but Xue Xiang had already stuffed it into his hand.
Broken. The money Xue Xiang gave is already far away
It exceeds the value of the pig's trotters, and even if you go to the black market to exchange meat stamps to make up for it, you will still have a lot of surplus. Ding Weidong handed the money to the girl who collected the coins, and motioned her to change the money with his eyes. When Xue Xiang saw this, he said: "If it's more, I'll treat you to it."
If you smoke cigarettes, you will become friends from now on. I will call you if you need anything."
Hearing this, Ding Weidong was extremely excited and nodded repeatedly. He finally became friends with the third brother. The third brother was indeed as bold and generous as the legend said, but he was not as aloof as the legend said.
How did he know that Xue Xiang now has a complex of contradictory personalities?
The small vegetable basket was already stuffed to the point of being weather-proof. Seeing this, Ding Weidong took out a 200-jin gray-yellow hemp bag from the counter and packed the rice, noodles, meat and vegetables purchased by Xue Xiang properly.
There were too many, and the mouth of the bag could not be tied tightly. There were only eggs wrapped in calico left in the vegetable basket. It was difficult to put them in and would be easily squeezed. Ding Weidong and the other two people each held up a corner of the sack and used all their strength to put the sack on it.
counter.
"Third brother, it's all packed. It's all here. The rice and noodles are at the bottom. I'll wrap the pork and fish in oil paper for you separately. It won't smell. The sack is too heavy. It will definitely be inconvenient for you to do it alone. Why don't you turn back?
I'll find someone to send you home." Ding Weidong patted the sack and said, "Those guys won't make a fortune if I send you something for Third Brother."
Although plastic bags have appeared and been put into use in these years, they have not been widely used in major food markets. People often carry vegetable baskets when buying vegetables, and they often use oil paper for cooking.
He picked up the sack and carried it in his hand. He held the vegetable basket in his right hand and said to Ding Weidong: "Thank you, I can do it. See you later." After that, he strode away...
When the sales trio saw them groaning, they brought the bag of marijuana on the counter. Xue Xiang carried it in his hand like a bundle of straw, and everyone looked shocked.
"He is so strong and good-looking. Dongzi, why do you call him third brother? It seems he doesn't know you yet." The coin collector girl asked, shaking Ding Weidong's arm.
"That's, what kind of person is Third Brother? This person in the circle of stubborn masters, the name Jun Songjiang is not self-proclaimed. It doesn't matter if I didn't recognize Shi before, but now I know him. This time, Third Brother called me brother. Next
When I met Li Ergou and the others for the first time, I had to stand in front of them to see if you dare to show off your thorns with me." Ding Weidong gestured with his thumb, shaking his head and boasting, as if to praise Xue Xiang, he was also with
Proud of it.
"Jun Song Jiang? Just look good. Why is there Song Jiang after the word Jun? I know Song Jiang is short and dark. The man just now is tall, fair and fair." The little checker said.
The girl wondered.
"You don't know this. Jun is talking about the appearance of the third brother, and Song Jiang is talking about his loyalty. Brothers have many friends. Did you see that I am the brother of the third brother? Haven't you heard of 'Dongcheng Timely Rain, Beihai Hubao'
Righteous'?" Ding Haidong said contemptuously, with an expression on his face that you two were already out.
"Oh, I remembered it. I thought I heard my brother say these two sentences. It turns out it was him who said it. It seems that our Xiaofan'er has fallen in love and started to protect others and talk before she even got there!
"The coin collector girl took over the conversation and directed the fight to the little girl checking the tickets.
"Sister Xiaojuan, you, you are going too far. Just now he said he would buy you candy with the remaining money. I don't know whose face was red." The girl named Xiaofan'er counterattacked with a red face.
"Damn girl, I want you to talk..."
“………….”
For a while, the two of them made a fuss and ignored the customers who were waiting anxiously.
