Someone actually asked me if I was a eunuch, and I wanted to slap him in the face. What can we do about such a rotten thing? It’s just that my family has been a little busy these two days, and the updates are a little irregular. Let’s continue reading. I have absolute character.
First class!
————————————————————————
On this day, Lin Tao took Zhang Xu and the droopy Wang Guodong out of the palace. Outside the gate of the palace was a long alley with black tiles and white walls. After exiting the alley, turn left and walk up.
For more than 100 kilometers, at the junction of the slums and the ancient building area is a blacksmith shop without a signboard.
The person in charge of hammering in the blacksmith shop is a middle-aged man named Chen who is in his forties. He is struggling to survive in the blacksmith shop with a half-grown boy who has just grown a layer of velvet beard on his mouth. This blacksmith shop is mainly for
He mainly repairs farm tools for farmers, but he can't earn two grand in total in one day. However, he occasionally receives an order to make special knives for men who go out to find supplies, and he can still earn two grand.
He asked his two wives to go to Hong Kong Street to buy him two taels of wine. Even so, their family was still just around the food and clothing line.
Lin Tao stepped into Blacksmith Wang's shop, and a wave of heat immediately hit the shop. Lin Tao found a windy place to stand, but he still felt unbearably hot. Blacksmith Chen next to the stove was still banging a piece of wood.
The rough embryo of a hoe, there must be no electricity here. The boy whose hair was twisted by the big scissors like a dog was chewing was "squeaking" and pulling the bellows for his father. A little kid of seven or eight years old was lying on the mud beside him.
On the ground, playing like a mud monkey.
The blacksmith shop is not big, with a total outside area of only about twenty square meters. It is built with wood and asbestos tiles. There is a flat-roofed cement room next to the shop. It seems that the top has not been demolished yet.
You can tell from the electricity warning sign that this cement house must have been renovated from a substation room, and all seven members of Chen Tiejiang's family live in this small house of more than ten square meters.
There was a country woman in her thirties sitting in front of the house. The woman was wearing a plaid shirt full of patches, with one swollen breast exposed, and she was giving birth to a newborn baby in her arms.
When the baby was being fed, the woman was not shy when she saw Lin Tao coming in. She just smiled shyly and called out that her brother-in-law had guests.
Lin Tao, who had been here before, knew that this woman was both Chen Tiejiang's wife and his sister-in-law. When the apocalypse came, his sister-in-law's original husband was eaten by a living corpse. Chen Tiejiang also had a "good heart" and pulled her sister-in-law into bed.
A spoonful of it is stewed, so it doesn’t go to outsiders. Besides, since ancient times, the butts of sisters-in-law belong to brothers-in-law! The little baby girl who is still drinking milk was born in the movie theater, just like the little Gao Xu of Zhang Xu’s family.
Authentic apocalyptic baby.
"Hey, the prince is here!" Tiejiang Chen turned his head and wiped the sweat from his head, grinning, showing his yellow teeth.
"Old Chen, why do you always like to joke?" Lin Tao smiled and shook his head, took out a pack of cigarettes and handed one to Blacksmith Chen.
Blacksmith Chen turned around and picked up a pair of iron tongs and took out a piece of red coke from the furnace. He lit the fire for Lin Tao first, and then he lit it himself. Then he took a puff of the cigarette and then asked with a smile: "Boss Lin, last time
Are all the machetes we used still usable?"
"It's sharp enough, but the shape needs to be changed. The head of the knife is too heavy, and it feels a bit top-heavy when used. Most of the arm strength is used to hold the handle of the knife!" Lin Tao also said with a smile.
"Well, you wanted that batch of goods urgently, so I was a little rushed, and the work was a bit rough!" Tiejiang Chen nodded honestly and said sincerely, then turned around and shouted to the room: "Xiaofang, please send us the goods."
Bring the mineral water from home for guests to drink!”
"Hey~ Here we come, Dad!"
With a crisp yes, a girl in her twenties ran briskly out of the house. This girl had pretty features and waist-length hair that was a little yellowish probably due to malnutrition, but it couldn't hide her pure look.
Her temperament and figure are not outstanding, but she is better than her symmetry!
It’s just that her clothes are obviously different from those of her family. A brand new white Chanel dress is put on her body. Even a pair of crystal high heels are obviously high-end goods. A silver Longines watch shines in the sun, but this outfit
The luxurious outfit looks a bit nondescript because of the two blue sleeves on her arms.
"Brother Lin..." The girl hesitated obviously when she saw Lin Tao in the shop, and her snow-white face immediately turned red. After timidly calling Lin Tao, she handed over the mineral water in her hand, and then she felt a little embarrassed.
She lowered her head and ran to her aunt's side to absentmindedly tease the baby.
"Boss Lin, what are you going to buy this time? I guarantee you the quality and quantity!" Tiejiang Chen grinned. Although he didn't like the people in the palace, he liked the food stamps from the palace very much!
"Why don't you come here to fight this time!" Lin Tao unscrewed the crumpled mineral water in his hand and took a sip. After thinking about it, he turned around and shouted: "Old Wang, come in, can't we talk to each other face to face if there is anything we need to do?"
"Hey..." Wang Guodong's tall and thick figure finally appeared in Chen Tiejiang's field of vision. Accompanied by Zhang Xu, he walked in with a smile on his face. Looking at Chen Tiejiang, whose actual age was not much older than him, he nodded and shouted
Said: "Chen...Uncle Chen!"
"Hmph~" Tiejiang Chen's face immediately changed color. He actually threw down the hammer in his hand angrily. He moved his hips and walked to sit on a small stool nearby. He took a few puffs of cigarette before he raised his head fiercely.
Staring at Wang Guodong, he said in a stern voice: "If you are here to steal something, I welcome you. If you are here to steal my daughter's ideas, I advise you to give up on this idea as soon as possible. Our family can't afford the people of your palace!"
"Dad~" Xiaofang at the side suddenly became anxious and whispered in embarrassment, but Chen Tiejiang turned away angrily and ignored her at all. Xiaofang had no choice but to turn around and stamp her feet anxiously.
He ran up to Wang Guodong, bit his lip, and asked in a low voice: "Why are you here?"
"You're like this, can I not come?" Wang Guodong looked at Xiaofang with a wry smile, and subconsciously glanced at her flat belly, then rubbed his hands and said to the cigarette-smoking Chen Tiejiang: "
Uncle Chen, it’s like this, I came here sincerely to propose marriage to you today, and I just want to ask you to promise me and Xiaofang, I...I will definitely treat her well!"
"Go away~" Chen Tiejiang jumped up and cursed loudly: "You don't look at your age and you have the nerve to call me uncle? I'm so ashamed for you! Let me tell you, my Xiaofang was ruined by you.
We pinched our noses and admitted it. I have already arranged a marriage for her. Her husband will come to marry her in a few days. You should die as soon as possible, you are such a thief!"
"His father..."
Probably after hearing Tiejiang Chen's roar, a middle-aged woman in her forties rushed out of the back room and shouted anxiously: "Why are you crazy? That family surnamed Wang is
He plows the fields alone to feed his family, and his two boys' eyes are green from hunger every day. Do you want to send our Xiaofang there to starve her to death?"
"It's better to starve her to death than to embarrass me!" Chen Tiejiang almost poked Xiaofang's forehead with his finger. Xiaofang stood there crying in grievance, but did not dare to talk back, while Chen Tiejiang yelled.
She screamed: "Listen to what others say about her, a secret prostitute! They say she is a secret prostitute! She specializes in seducing old men who can be her father!"
"You fart!" Xiaofang's mother sprayed saliva in Chen Tiejiang's face, and said anxiously: "Go out and take a look, who's pretty girl isn't selling it? No one wants me, and if someone wants me, I'll have it long ago.
Why did they say that about Xiaofang after she went out to sell him? That's obviously jealousy. If you have the ability, let them also go out and seduce a rich man and come back to show me! Ah?"
"My family is unfortunate, my family is unfortunate!" Chen Tiejiang was obviously a little henpecked. He pulled his hair in annoyance, and then said tremblingly: "Although my family is not rich, have I made you hungry? My ancestor Chen has been doing this for eight lifetimes.
I am an honest and innocent family, how can you expect me to live up to my ancestors?"
"Brother Chen and Mrs. Chen!" Lin Tao managed to get in. Although he was not good at words, he had no choice but to bite the bullet. Zhang Xu, who followed him, was also a fool. This kind of thing would make him a fool.
Lin Tao said hurriedly: "What you are saying is too serious. Xiaofang and Guodong are in love. Although Guodong is much older than Xiaofang, age hurts people, doesn't it? Besides, Guodong's wife
She has died a long time ago and doesn’t even have a lover. Who can bully her when she marries into Guodong’s family?”
"Ah? He's still single?" Mrs. Chen blinked in surprise, hesitated, and said to Wang Guodong: "Xiao Wang, are you sincerely here to marry our Xiaofang? If Xiaofang marries you, she can become the head of your family.
Wife?"
"Of course, I even brought the betrothal gift and gift money. As long as you agree, I will choose a good day to marry Chen Fang home in a sedan chair. It must be the matchmaker's wedding!" Wang Guodong said excitedly as soon as he saw something was going on.
"Have you brought all the betrothal gifts?" Mrs. Chen was startled. The first thing she looked at was not Wang Guodong's old face. Instead, she turned to look at the two bulging paper bags in Zhang Xu's hand. Her eyes immediately lit up and she pulled
Chen Tiejiang, who was still fuming and sulking, quickly walked to the side. The two of them muttered for a long time without knowing what they were talking about. It took a long time to see that Chen Tiejiang seemed to have compromised and nodded in despair.
"Xiao Wang!" Mrs. Chen rubbed her hands and then wiped them on her white floral coat. Then she walked up with a smile and hesitated: "Uh... well, when our Xiaofang was with you.
You should know that she is a yellow-flowered girl, right?"
"I know, I know!" Wang Guodong nodded quickly. Although it was a bit disgraceful for Chen Fang to be coaxed into bed by him at the beginning, Chen Fang only reluctantly agreed in order to supplement the food stamps for the family. However, he personally broke his heart.
There are still quite a few, and the loss of his virginity is still fresh in his memory.
"Haha~ It's good to know!" Sister-in-law Chen smiled proudly and said with the unique wisdom of a country woman: "Our family raised her to such a big size by pooping and peeing, and everyone around her wouldn't say that she is a beautiful woman, Shili
I don’t know how many people from Baxiang came to propose marriage, so Xiaofang following you is a blessing that you have cultivated for eight lifetimes. Besides, our family is all authentic movie city locals, and there are many famous relatives in the family. You will do it in the future
I can help you with anything, and we don’t want anything from you, but I won’t agree if it hurts Xiaofang!”
"Never... never, as long as I am here, I will never hurt Xiaofang!" Wang Guodong nodded hurriedly and expressed his position hurriedly.
"Yes, Xiao Wang, you are sensible. I am relieved that Xiaofang can follow you!" Mrs. Chen patted Wang Guodong's arm, and then said tentatively: "The people from your palace are all decent people. This face
You must not be careless about the things you do, otherwise you will definitely be laughed at by your relatives at home, so this gift money..."
"Auntie, please tell me the number. I, Wang Guodong, promise not to blink!" Wang Guodong finally figured it out. Mrs. Chen had been beating around the bush for a long time because she just wanted to get more gift money. He had plenty of food stamps today!
"Ouch~ Where can I find such a good son-in-law!" Mrs. Chen pretended to laugh, and then cautiously stretched out four fingers and said: "Why... after all, you need four hundred kilograms of food stamps!"
"ah?"
Lin Tao and Wang Guodong both opened their mouths in shock. Even Lin Tao on the side almost dislocated his jaw. He stared blankly at the four old fingers raised by Mrs. Chen, his eyes filled with disbelief.
"What? Is that too much?" Mrs. Chen quickly retracted her fingers, knowing that she was speaking like a lion, and said with some embarrassment: "Actually, this is also an auspicious number. I hope everything goes well and good things come in pairs.
You mean, marrying a wife is only once in a lifetime, oh... only a few times at most!"
"Sister!" Chen Fang's sister-in-law quickly stood up at this time, came over and pulled Chen's arm, and whispered: "Our married daughter can weigh fifty kilograms of rice, and eighty kilograms can hold up to the sky.
, there are still people who are free of money, do you think this is from the past? It’s not like you don’t know that women nowadays are worthless, why do you want to scare people to death by asking for so much?”
"Then... then two hundred catties, no less, otherwise I would rather not marry!" Mrs. Chen thought for a moment, and whispered angrily: "I can't bear to give back four hundred catties to the prince's palace. It's so white.
A bigger name!"
"That... Auntie!" Wang Guodong finally recovered from the shock. He shyly took out a handful of dark red food stamps from his pocket and said awkwardly: "I... I didn't expect you to ask for so little. I
I brought two thousand catties with me!"
"How much?" Chen Tiejiang's family, including Chen Fang, looked at the large number of food stamps in Wang Guodong's hand with horrified expressions, their eyes widening.
"Two...two thousand kilograms!" Wang Guodong stammered. They were not surprised that Mrs. Chen wanted more, but that it was too little. Zhang Xu and Lin Tao were worried that it was not enough after they brought two thousand kilograms.
He said that such a big girl could only run away with only two thousand pounds. Isn't that bullying? Lin Tao also thought that if it was not enough, he was going to go back and ask Bai Ru for some more. Who knew that Mrs. Chen only only wanted this little? It was really surprising.
They expected it!
"Ouch...my good son-in-law, why didn't you tell me earlier? I thought you were so stingy!" Aunt Chen said nicely, but a vicious dog snatched the food from Wang Guodong's hand.
He proudly waved the thick food stamps at Tiejiang Chen and said with a smile: "Master, are you stupid? So many food stamps are exchanged for wine, it will be enough to drink you to death!"
"This, this, this...is this too much?" Chen Tiejiang looked at his wife dumbfounded and said stupidly, "How can we spend all this?"
"Go away, you deserve to be poor for the rest of your life!" Mrs. Chen glared at Blacksmith Chen angrily, then happily handed all the food stamps to her sister and put them away at home. She pulled Chen Fang aside and asked in a low voice.
: "Daughter, didn't you say that Xiao Wang is just a follower of the prince? Why didn't you tell me earlier that he was so rich? Didn't you tell me that your father didn't agree with you earlier?"
"I said it!" Chen Fang looked at her mother aggrievedly and said: "The clothes and bags he gave me can be exchanged for a lot of food stamps, but you just don't believe it, what do you want me to do?
What should I do? My dad will beat me if I talk too much!"
"How do we know so much? I thought now that people don't even have enough to eat, who would bother to buy these things? Now it's great, you even have the money to marry your brother!" Mrs. Chen
He looked at his daughter with great joy, but asked strangely: "But you were with him before, why did you only bring back more than ten kilograms of food stamps? Did you not ask for it or did he not give it to me?"
"Give it!" Chen Fang looked at Mrs. Chen pitifully, lowered her head and said, "Brother Wang gave me five hundred catties of food stamps the first time, but I didn't dare to ask for it because I was afraid that my father would beat me when I got it back.
He still forced me to give me one hundred kilograms. Later, every time I was with him, he would give me at least fifty kilograms. I... I hid all the food stamps at Alan's house. It was almost eight hundred kilograms.
!”
"Oh, my silly girl, how dare you hide so many food stamps in other people's homes? What if someone steals them? Hurry, come back soon, go now!" Mrs. Chen was anxious again, furious.
She drove Chen Fang out, then took Wang Guodong to look around and saw what she saw now. Then she ran back to the house and took out the snacks she had collected at home, and gave them to Lin Tao and the others affectionately.
But when Zhang Xu handed the two bags to Mrs. Chen, Mrs. Chen's family was shocked again. The two big bags were actually filled with jewelry. As soon as the hanging paper bag reached Mrs. Chen's hand, it "popped"
"It broke with a sound, and it was all shiny platinum and gold that fell to the ground. Mrs. Chen fainted with an excited "cluck", but it was only Tiejiang Chen who pinched her and slapped her mouth that finally rescued her.
of.
"Good son-in-law, this...these jewelry are for our family Xiaofang?" Mrs. Chen sat on the ground and hugged the paper bag tightly without letting go. Jewelry in prosperous times and gold in troubled times. The value of these things is not small even in the end of the world.
Even old women in the countryside understand this!
"It's not for Xiaofang. Xiaofang's set is better than this one. I keep it at my house! These are for aunties to wear as you like. If you are not satisfied, I will buy some for you when I go home!" Wang Guodong was very respectful.
Bend over, these jewelry are not worn by the women in the family. Back then, they raided five jewelry stores in that supermarket and even broke open their safes. This was from Cai Linlin's store.
They were ripped off from the mannequins, all because the style was too vulgar and they couldn't be sold.
"For...for us?" Mrs. Chen looked at the two piles of jewelry in her hand in disbelief. Huge surprise burst out in her eyes, and then she fainted with happiness again. Lin Tao and Zhang Xu looked at it.
The person beside me kept shaking her head and lamenting that she had lived so many good lives that she had almost forgotten the life of poor people.
The wedding of Wang Guodong and Chen Fang was scheduled for three days. There was no rush to get there because Chen's wife patted her chest on the day and said that Chen Fang could go home with Wang Guodong. However, in fact, Chen Fang secretly hid her pregnancy from her family.
More than two months later, it was Chen Fang who found out that her period never came, and rushed to find Wang Guodong to cry. This made Wang Guodong, who had never had children, decide to marry her, while Chen Fang's belly was still weak.
Obviously, Wang Guodong got on the boat first and then paid the ticket in a hurry, otherwise he would have been laughed at.
