Lin Yuezhen gestured to her: "Have Guoqiang and the others come back?"
Lin Lan nodded: "I'm back. If anyone asks, don't tell me they went out. Just say they were drunk and slept in the east wing."
Lin Yuezhen nodded solemnly, and the two lay down to sleep.

Liu Jinbao limped home and banged the courtyard door with the front tire of his car.
"You bastard, why don't you die outside? What are you going to do when you come back?"
Sun Xiuhua cursed and opened the door. She was startled when she saw Liu Jinbao lying weakly on the bicycle axle: "Jinbao, what's wrong with you?"
Liu Jinbao said feebly: "Some bastard put a sack on me and hit me with a black stick. My whole body hurts like hell."
"Ah! You short-lived bastard, if you can, just come to the door and beat him, just to be a coward..." Sun Xiuhua yelled and helped him into the house.
Liu Jinbao groaned and lay on the bed. Sun Xiuhua came out with the Tuodaizhitong and gave it to him: "Here you go, I'll go to the police station to report the case!"
"Don't go!" Liu Jinbao closed the door with a bang. He took off his pants and found that his body was covered with bruises and bruises. It was extremely painful to touch.
Accountant Jin copied the electricity meter and said to Zhao Dehai with a smile: "How much wine have you drunk? You are so drunk!"
Bitch, if I find out that you did it, how will I deal with you?
"Oh!" Lin Guoqiang put the dishes and chopsticks into the pot and cleaned them skillfully.
Liu Guozhi frowned: "We are from the brigade, and we are here to check the electric meter."
Liu Jinbao excluded Lin Guoliang and others, scratching his head and couldn't figure out which enemy would take revenge on him, but he felt that it was Lin Lan's brother who did it.
"I told you not to go, and you still said so!" Liu Jinbao said angrily.
Could it be Lao Gui? He was thinking wildly, rubbed the painkiller, lay down on the bed and fell asleep.
The courtyard door was ajar, Liu Guozhi knocked on the door, and the door opened. Dahuang screamed and rushed forward.
Liu Jinbao thought about the people he had offended over the years, and then realized that there were still many people who had hatred against him.
Zhao Dehai licked his lips: "Brother, you are here, I will go back first."
After a while, Lin Lan, Lin Yuezhen and Xiaodouzi came back, carrying two rice dumpling leaves on their backs.
Lin Guoliang came out of the east wing smelling of alcohol and looked at the two of them with drunken eyes: "Who are you?" When he opened his mouth, he smelled of alcohol.
Zhao Dehai walked out drunkenly, rubbed his face and looked at the two of them with a smile: "Oh! Captain, Accountant Jin, are you okay so early?"
Liu Guozhi was so angry that he slapped him on the head: "You deserve to be beaten to death. Who asked you to hang out outside in the middle of the night? If you don't go out, will people dare to come home and beat you?"
Zhao Dehai smiled: "It's rare that I drink too much when I'm happy."
Lin Guoliang curled his lips: "I think you look like a Japanese devil."
Liu Guozhi asked Shangjin Accountant to take the electric meter book and go straight to Lin Lan's house. He started at Li Guizhi's house and then went to Lin Lan's house.
Accountant Jin smiled: "Dehai is here too! Let's read the meter."
Lin Guoliang and Zhao Dehai watched the two people leave and smelled each other's bodies. It looked like they had drunk two or three bottles.
The one I have had a grudge against recently is the little widow. Thinking about it, I think it’s impossible. How dare a little widow go to the cemetery in the middle of the night?
Report the crime! What did he say when the police asked him why he went to the cemetery so late? Could it be that he and Lao Gui gathered together to gamble!
"Is there anyone here? The team is reading the electricity meter."
After hearing this, Liu Jinbao suddenly realized: "You bastards, they must have done it. I'll go find them."
"Little widow!" Liu Guozhi thought for a moment, "I heard that her natal brother is here."
"Guoqiang, pack up. When Xiaolan comes back, we will go back."
Liu Guozhi saw someone sleeping soundly on the bed in the east chamber: "It's great to be young! You can drink if you want!"
"Let's go, report the case to the police station!" Liu Guozhi grabbed him, suddenly remembered something and glared, "Why are you going to the construction brigade cemetery so late? Are you gambling again?"
Lin Guoqiang looked at the two of them with laughter: "Brother, brother-in-law, we are like the underground gang in the movie."
Liu Jinbao murmured: "Me, Ye San and I went to play cards."
The next day, he got up early and went to Liu Guozhi's house. Liu Guozhi saw that his face was sallow and he was limping, so he hurriedly helped him into the house.
After the three of them poured hot water and washed up, they saw steamed buns in the pot, red potato porridge under the steamer, and cold kimchi on the table, and they drank them down.
As he spoke, he pulled up his trousers, revealing blue and purple bruises from the stick.
"Drink less, it will hurt your health." Accountant Jin smiled and left with Liu Guozhi.
Lin Guoliang went to the backyard bamboo forest to look around, strengthened the fence where it should be strengthened, and then returned to the yard.
"Haha..." Zhao Dehai laughed.
"Uncle, I was wrong!" Liu Jinbao hurriedly admitted his mistake, "Please help me go to the little widow's house and have a look. It was probably them who did it. Look at these injuries on my body..."
"Ouch! Ouch! You bastard, if I catch you, I will beat your muscles and peel off your skin!"
"You're welcome." Zhao Dehai smiled and punched his chest, turned around and left.
"Thank you Dehai." Lin Guoliang said sincerely.
Thinking of the smell on their bodies and the smell of alcohol on their lips, I felt that it was impossible for them to do it, so I went back and gave Liu Jinbao a lesson so that he would stop causing trouble outside.
"Okay! You copy it!" Zhao Dehai rubbed his head, "Brother, you can't drink like this next time, it will cause a headache."
"You went out to fight with the second-rate people again?"
Liu Guozhi's heart throbbed and hurt after seeing it. He thought for a moment, gritted his teeth and said, "I'll take someone to read the meter."
Zhao Dehai raised two fingers: "Two and a half bottles of Quanxing!"
Liu Jinbao said with a bitter face: "No, I..., I thought about it for a long time last night. The one I have a grudge against recently is the little widow. There are two or three people who beat me, but the little widow is alone and she doesn't have the guts to go to the cemetery.
?”
Zhao Dehai shook his head: "No, I have a headache."
Liu Guozhi walked around and learned that Lin Lan's family had invited guests to drink yesterday and they were still drinking after ten o'clock.
Sun Xiuhua was heartbroken outside the door: "Jinbao, listen, let's go to the police station and sue them."
Lin Guoliang told Lin Lan about Liu Guozhi coming to read the electricity meter: "Fortunately you let us drink last night and spilled some wine on us, otherwise he would definitely doubt us."
Lin Lan: "..." Haha! Captain Liu is quite fashionable. He has learned to read electric meters these days.
Lin Guoliang smiled and said: "Xiaolan, there are many things at home. Let's take the afternoon bus back. The remaining beans will be delivered to you in a few days when they are delivered to the fat pig."
Lin Lan nodded, thought for a while and said: "Brother, grind out the beans collected in the mountains at home. Use the bean dregs to feed the pigs. Let mom make the tofu into fermented bean curd. Buy more small jars like salt at home.
Send it to me and sell it."
Lin Guoqiang looked at her: "Sister, is there anyone buying fermented bean curd?"
