Chapter 236 [The deaf old lady was heated to death
"This electric fan doesn't produce much wind."
"The key point is that it still needs electricity. If you keep blowing it like this, the electricity bill will be more expensive than food and drink at the end of the day."
Her bangs surrounded her big belly.
Although he said this, his body moved forward very honestly.
While working in the workshop today, he overheard two workshop directors chatting and said that Director Yang gave Liu Jiacheng an electric fan ticket.
Unexpectedly, this disgusting Liu Jiacheng bought the electric fan back in less than a day.
Feeling the wind from the electric fan blowing on my face, there is an indescribable comfort in my bangs.
Oh shit!
When he becomes a leader, he will buy an electric fan no matter what.
"That's right. This electric fan is a bit windy, but the air it blows out is also hot."
"Coupled with the fact that it costs so much electricity a day, it's obviously not as cost-effective as eating a popsicle."
"..."
Everyone was chatting...and suddenly there was no wind!
Take a closer look!
Liu Jiacheng actually turned the direction of the electric fan.
"Jia Cheng, you can do it by yourself, why don't we all do it together?"
Yan Bugui walked up and said with a smile.
Although everyone was saying that the electric fan blew out hot air, when the hot air stopped, I immediately felt the heat on my face and started to sweat on my forehead.
“Electric fans waste electricity!”
This sentence instantly made the neighbor standing at the door unhappy.
"If you blow on your own, you will blow. If you all blow together, you will blow."
"Is it possible that we can waste more of your electricity by bragging about it!"
Jia Zhang frowned and her eyes became vicious.
Although the people next to him didn't speak, Jia Zhang's words were what they were thinking.
"Why should I share it with you when I can blow it myself?"
While talking, Liu Jiacheng stood up and kicked out Yan Bugui and several neighbors standing at the door.
While blowing his electric fan, he also said that his electric fan was not good.
It’s so fucking upright!
"Jia Cheng, listen to the third uncle."
"You let the big guys blow the air together here, and then ask them to give you some peanuts..."
Yan Bugui narrowed his eyes slightly, and two big words were written on his face: Calculation!
"You are no longer the third uncle in the courtyard!"
After saying that, Liu Jiacheng pushed everyone out directly.
He could even think of what Yan Bugui would say next.
You must say: I came up with this idea for you, and you want me to blow the electric fan for free.
Peanuts?
Does he need it?
Not to mention that he can afford it now, the system gave him ten kilograms as a gift last month, and most of it is still stored in the system space.
"You just don't understand good people's hearts!"
Yan Bu waved his sleeves noblely and left.
He couldn't figure out why Liu Jiacheng didn't do such a good deal.
Let these neighbors grab a handful of peanuts, millet or cornmeal in one day, and they will have trouble eating and drinking this summer...
No worries about eating and drinking?
yes!
Why didn't he think of that!
Yan Bugui smiled broadly and already had an idea in his mind.
There was no electric fan to blow. Just when the others were about to leave, they saw Lou Xiao'e walking out of the kitchen holding half a watermelon.
"What is this? It's so big!"
"I don't know. It's on a plate. It looks like it's for eating."
"I remember that when Liu Jiacheng came back just now, there were two of these hanging on the handlebars."
"Could this be a landmine?"
"Don't talk nonsense. What era is this? There are still landmines everywhere!"
"..."
When Lou Xiao'e came out of the kitchen holding half a watermelon, no one in the courtyard knew what it was.
Although watermelon was very common in later generations, in this era watermelon is not even called a luxury product.
That is simply a rare item!
Especially in the 49 cities in the north, it is extremely rare.
In this era, all the crops grown in the fields are grains, and even so, it is difficult to feed the people.
Can you still grow watermelons?
Total nonsense!
It's not a capitalist family, so I guess not many people have seen it, not to mention eating it.
"Oh, it's really delicious."
"What the hell is this?"
"Who knows?"
Although everyone couldn't tell what it was, they felt it was delicious just by looking at the appearance.
Especially when the red watermelon juice flows out, people can't help but salivate.
"Mom, I want to eat!"
"Mom, I want to eat!"
Bangge’s psychological defense was finally broken.
He couldn't name that thing!
But it looks very delicious!
"Banggeng, be good, we won't eat it!"
"That stuff doesn't taste good!"
Qin Huairu hugged her son and prepared to return to the middle courtyard.
She is greedy too!
But I definitely can't show it in front of my son and neighbors in the compound.
Otherwise, it will be embarrassing and the jokes will only make things worse!
"If I don't go back, I will eat that green fruit."
Banggeng looked at Liu Jiacheng in the room eating watermelon, and he was so greedy that he almost shed tears.
He hasn't eaten it!
But it must be delicious!
"Go back with mom, that's what only prodigals eat."
In the past, Qin Huairu might have shamelessly asked Liu Jiacheng for some.
But after going to Liu Jiacheng's house two or three times without getting any food back, Qin Huairu knew that it would never be possible in the future.
Rather than being embarrassed in the past, it's better to bring the stalker home.
Out of sight out of mind!
"I want to eat, I want to be a prodigal!"
"I want to be a prodigal!"
Qin Huairu was helpless and slapped Banggeng's butt twice.
Banggeng was already on the verge of tears, but this time he felt even more aggrieved.
Wow!
Tears couldn't hold back anymore and burst into my eyes.
"If you don't listen to mom, just stay here."
After Qin Huairu said these angry words, she turned around and returned to the backyard.
This brat knows how to piss her off!
Everyone in the compound knew that she had a blind date with Liu Jiacheng, and she was still making noises about eating watermelon here.
Isn't this just an obvious shame for her to stand there!
Liu Jiacheng and Lou Xiao'e in the room ate half of the watermelon in a short time.
Lou Xiao'e wiped her mouth and felt so good while eating watermelon with the fan blowing on.
She is already beginning to enjoy this hot summer!
"Xiao'e, cut that half of the watermelon into half. The watermelon won't taste good after it's been left overnight."
In this era, there were no refrigerators at all, and many things were very susceptible to spoilage.
However, in this era, there is no such thing as saying that food cannot be eaten. Even if it is spoiled, people will still eat it.
"Isn't it too wasteful to eat it all at once?" Lou Xiao'e said.
"It all goes into our own stomachs, so what should we waste?"
"The boss told me that he would give us a watermelon in a few days."
Liu Jiacheng suddenly regretted taking out two watermelons from the system space. He would have to find other reasons to take them out again in the future.
After all, watermelon is not easily available in this day and age!
"Okay, let's eat it before we go to bed." Lou Xiao'e said.
Liu Jiacheng turned around and realized that Lou Xiao'e had already cleared the table while they were chatting. There wasn't even a watermelon seed on the table.
"Xiao'e, where is the watermelon rind?" Liu Jiacheng asked.
"It's lost!" Seeing that Liu Jiacheng's eyes were wrong, Lou Xiao'e asked tentatively as if he had done something wrong: "Is the rind of watermelon edible?"
Lou Xiao'e had eaten watermelon many years ago, but in her opinion, the rind was hard and astringent.
Totally inedible!
"Actually, it's edible, but if you throw it away, just throw it away."
Maybe for other people, watermelon rind is indeed inedible, but he is a chef.
Is there anything I can't do?
"Then I'll go pick it up again."
"No! I just asked casually, but it's not that delicious."
"Then I won't throw away the remaining half!"
…
The other side.
Several curious people in the courtyard were gathering around the watermelon rind to observe carefully.
At this moment... Banggeng suddenly squatted down and picked up a watermelon rind and took a bite.
"sweet!"
Banggeng hugged the watermelon rind and chewed it. He wanted to eat the whole watermelon rind, but he gave up when he found that he couldn't chew it.
Everyone next to me was dumbfounded!
Eat leftovers from other people's meals.
But seeing how sweet the sticks were eating, they wanted to pick one up and try it, but so many people were watching...
"I'll take it back and feed it to the dog!"
As she spoke, the third aunt picked up two watermelon rinds and left directly.
The person next to him sneered.
Do you have a fucking dog?
It seems like this is intended to be fed into your dog’s belly.
"I'll take it back and put it on the foot of the bed!"
As Jia Zhang spoke, she also took away three watermelon rinds.
She kept hearing Banggeng say it was sweet, and she also wanted to taste what it tasted like.
Jia Zhang and Qin Huairu have been separated for several months.
At the beginning, Mrs. Jia Zhang felt quite happy. She ate white flour steamed buns several times, which made Qin Huairu, mother and son very greedy.
But as the past few months passed, she saw that her wallet was getting smaller and smaller day by day, and she had already begun to panic.
If this continues, the money she has left will only last this year at most!
Seeing this, other people followed suit. Some said they would go back to feed the cats, while others said they would go home and block the holes in the wall.
Within two minutes, the skin of half a watermelon was divided by the neighbors.
I don’t know how these people will eat after they go back...
…
…
It's late at night.
Yi Zhonghai hurriedly knocked on Liu Jiacheng's door.
"What's up?"
Liu Jiacheng is a person who doesn't get angry when he gets up, but his mood rose immediately when he saw Yi Zhonghai.
This is in the middle of the night!
The grandson of Yi Zhonghai still had nothing serious to do and had to beat him up all over the place.
"Liu Jiacheng, let me use your electric fan." Yi Zhonghai said hurriedly.
"Are you fucking sick?"
Liu Jiacheng couldn't help but swear.
I knocked on his door in the middle of the night just to borrow an electric fan?
If you are so fucking hot, I won’t be hot anymore?
"It's not for me, it's for the deaf old lady."
"This old lady seems to be suffering from heatstroke. Could you please lend her an electric fan?"
"The old lady is old, and her bones can't stand it in such a hot day."
Yi Zhonghai got up in the middle of the night to go to the bathroom and saw that the light in the deaf old lady's room was always on, so he went over to take a look.
It didn't matter if he didn't look at it, he was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat.
The deaf old lady kept mumbling to herself, and she looked obviously confused by the heat.
Only then did Yi Zhonghai knock on Liu Jiacheng's door to borrow an electric fan!
"Go to the clinic if you have heatstroke. Electric fans are useless."
After finishing speaking, Liu Jiacheng impatiently prepared to close the door.
At this time, Yi Zhonghai said again: "Jia Cheng, I heard that the green fruit you ate was very cool. How about you give a piece to the deaf old lady?"
Yi Zhonghai didn't grab the watermelon rind like others, but he heard Bangge said that after eating it, he felt that it wasn't even hot in summer.
"Yi Zhonghai, you're here to trick the watermelon into eating it, right?"
After Liu Jiacheng finished speaking, he closed the door directly!
He didn't know if the deaf old lady had heatstroke, but Yi Zhonghai was quite stupid.
Watermelon is not a damn panacea. Could it be that it can still save people?
Yi Zhonghai looked at the closed door and sighed, then took the cattail leaf fan and returned to the deaf old lady's room.
"Old lady, please drink some water."
Yi Zhonghai helped the deaf old lady up and put a wet towel on her forehead to cool down the heat.
"I don't drink!"
The deaf old lady said feebly.
"How about I help you sit outside?" Yi Zhonghai said.
The deaf old lady shook her head: "I'm not going, old lady, I'm tired."
"That's okay!"
"Let me help you lie down and rest. The weather is hot this summer, and we can only endure it."
After Yi Zhonghai settled the deaf old lady, he went back to the house to rest.
…
…
Early the next morning.
With a scream, everyone in the courtyard hurriedly gathered around.
At this time, the aunt stood blankly at the door of the deaf old lady, and the gruel she was holding spilled on the floor.
His whole face turned pale
"what happened?"
Yi Zhonghai hurried over.
"Lao Yi, the old lady is gone!"
The aunt collapsed directly into Yi Zhonghai's arms.
This morning she came to deliver food to the deaf old lady. After entering, she called out twice and found that the deaf old lady didn't respond.
She thought it was because she didn't sleep well last night and she was still asleep now.
But she looked exactly like the old deaf lady, and her body was already cold!
"The old deaf lady is dead!"
Everyone's faces changed after hearing this.
This old lady was fine yesterday and spoke very energetically in the courtyard.
Why did he die just one night?
The news is too sudden!
So that no one could react.
"What exactly is going on?"
"Should we go and report to the street office?"
"The person who died in the compound must report it to the street office!"
"Why did the deaf old lady die suddenly?"
"She must be older. If she can live to her age, she will already have a long life."
"It's good that it doesn't hurt if I leave suddenly like this!"
"..."
Everyone stood in the backyard and talked about it.
But now that the deaf old lady is dead, they will probably have more to do.
This deaf old lady had no children, so even if she was buried, the street office must have asked their compound to provide help.
"Jia Cheng."
Lou Xiao'e looked at Liu Jiacheng worriedly, not knowing what to say.
"It's none of our business!"
Liu Jiacheng knew what Lou Xiao'e meant.
Last night Yi Zhonghai said that the deaf old lady had a heatstroke, and she died this morning.
Presumably...it has something to do with this matter!
