Ah Chun looked outside and locked the door directly after making sure no one was there.
This girl is much younger than Achun. The metal mask on her face is completely closed, even her eyes are completely blocked.
I could only see the left half of her face, and I didn't think she wanted to talk to me.
"Who is this...."
A smile appeared on Ah Chun's face and he said: "She is my biological sister. I haven't used her name for many years, so I call her little sister."
"Little sister, you'd better say hello, after all, we also charge a lot of money." Achun said.
After hesitating for a few seconds, the masked girl said hello.
When I heard that this was a false voice, it felt weird and uncomfortable, just like when people speak with a voice changer nowadays, their voice changes in a weird way.
Ah Chun said with a little embarrassment: "My little sister is like this. She hardly talks to anyone except me. You should be more considerate."
I said no problem, it should be.
When the conversation got down to business, the masked girl left on her own and entered the back room, where Ah Chun told the boss about the arrangements made a month ago.
During the days when Li Tiecheng was undergoing surgery in the hospital, it was this "little girl" who acted as the boss every day and made calls on the boss's mobile phone to stabilize Uncle Xue.
According to my experience, when the leader decides to implement a certain plan, he will not tell anyone, including me.
Trapping Xiao Tuantou, dealing with the Changchun Society, the real and fake Miaoyiniao, suppressing Tian Sanjiu, etc. I was only aware of this series of events. By the time I knew about it, things were often close to the end.
So far, I have met almost no one who can make Silver Fox suffer.
With one exception....Sister Hong.
I asked: "Miss Achun, Uncle Xue is back now, what are you two going to do?"
"We, let's just listen to the king's command," Achun said with a smile: "Take people's money and help them eliminate disasters. Before the matter is settled, my little sister and I will try our best to help you."
"Besides, I can only live here with my little sister these days. We won't go out during the day. If you come to see us, remember the code for knocking on the door."
"Knock three times hard and three times lightly. A total of 1 knock on the door will make it clear."
I said I remembered, and she added: "It's not convenient for you to be out for too long at this time, so go back."
Ah Chun got up to see off the guests. When the little girl saw that I was leaving, she hid in the back room and lowered the door curtain.
I thought to myself, this girl is really weird. The metal mask weighs several weights, and it must be very tiring to wear it on your face every day. But that is a person's own privacy, and I will not take the initiative to ask anything.
After I went back, I cooked a big pot of chome at night. I didn’t eat the box of instant noodles I bought from the tuck shop last time. There were also two boxes of ham sausages. One box was good Wangwang, and the other was starch sausage that cost 30 cents a piece.
, we call it ham for cats, Xiaoxuan loves to eat this.
A total of bags were cooked. Bean Sprouts only scooped up a large bowl of instant noodles, then used chopsticks to cover the noodles and poured the soup back.
Picking it up with chopsticks, the bean sprouts began to slurp the noodles, and served them with three mouthfuls of intestines.
"I eat so much at night, I'm not afraid of stuffing you to death," Xiaoxuan said, holding a small bowl for children and scolding the bean sprouts.
Dou Sprout picked up the bowl and moved it aside, continuing to eat the noodles, ignoring Xiaoxuan.
On the main dining table, because there was no electricity in the room, two candles were lit for lighting.
He put down his chopsticks and said with a smile: "Junior brother, do you still remember that time when we were at Smart Mountain in Yongnian, a villager from Linzhang gave us a can of chili sauce fried in oil?"
Uncle Xue paused with the chopsticks in his hand. He put down the chopsticks, wiped his mouth and said with a smile: "It's been too long, it's been twenty years, I've even forgotten about that."
"Oh? But I remember...Junior brother, you said that the chili sauce was delicious, and you even copied someone's ingredient list, and said you would fry a can yourself when you go back." Tou Tou said with a smile.
"Hey, look at my memory, I remembered it."
Uncle Xue suddenly realized: "That person's surname in Linzhang is Zhang, right? His name is Zhang Guangping."
"Yes," he looked at Master Xue with a deep look in his eyes and nodded.
After eating, Master Xue said he had not slept much in the hospital the past few days and was sleepy, so he went to the West Room to rest first.
After he left, I cleared the dishes on the table and held a cigarette between my head and hand. I didn't smoke, just let the cigarette burn.
"The head? The head?"
The candle flickered on and off, and the flames shone on the side of his head and face, making him see not only wrinkles, but also a shadow on his face.
"Yunfeng, it's been twenty-one years since that incident. The villager in Linzhang was indeed named Zhang Guangping. He still remembers it."
"Boss, is this Zhang Guangping the one who gave you the chili sauce?"
He shook his head slowly: "It's true that the person's name is Zhang Guangping, but it's not Chili Sauce."
"I said chili sauce on purpose. What we really ate at that time was bean paste, small garlic bean paste."
It's bean paste, not soybean milk, and it's different from the bean paste you buy in supermarkets now. I recalled that that kind of paste was made by pickling the soybeans in a large vat, letting them grow long hair, and then taking them out and frying them.
Garlic is not garlic, and many people in the city may not have eaten it. Garlic is a wild vegetable grown in the fields. You can only eat the root. No one grows it, so it is all wild. Garlic bean paste is very salty, fragrant, and oily.
, recalled that it was delicious, but now the food doesn’t have the same taste.
Uncle Xue remembered Zhang Guangping, but mistakenly remembered bean paste as chili sauce. Was it because too much time had passed?
Boutou didn't talk about it, so I could only make random guesses. After all, I had never met Master Xue before.
He took a puff, stamped out the cigarette, raised his head and said, "Yunfeng, you and Dou Yazi will go to bed later. I told the canteen owner to leave the door open."
"You go buy bags of noodles, and I'm carrying a bucket of oil. Come over and deliver it to Sister Achun later."
"Bin," he called Brother Yu again and said, "Don't stay in the east room at night. Come live with me in the west room. Do you understand?"
Brother Yu glanced in the direction of the west room and nodded slightly.
It was almost half past eleven, it was dark outside and there was no movement. I thought it was about time, so I woke up Dou Sprout and asked him to put on his shoes quickly.
Dou Sprout yawned and said his stomach hurt and he didn't want to move.
"You hurt me... hurry up!"
"Where are you going?" Xiaoxuan was awakened and turned around to ask.
"You haven't slept yet. Dou Sprout and I went to the canteen to buy something. Do you want to bring anything?" I asked.
Xiaoxuan was completely buried in the quilt, with only her head exposed.
She blinked and thought for a moment, then whispered: "Then bring me some skin care products. My face has been very dry these past two days and I'm dehydrated."
"Skin care products? I guess there are no skin care products in the canteen." I said.
"If not, Longliqi's snake oil ointment will also work." Xiaoxuan said.
"That's okay."
Dou Sprouts and I put on our shoes, quietly walked out of the yard, and closed the door quietly.
The canteen is not far away, about ten minutes away. When we got there, the lights were still on, and the proprietress of the canteen was asleep on her chair.
"Hey! Still sleeping!"
Bean Sprouts shouted.
"ah?"
The proprietress woke up immediately. When she saw it was us, she said: "I was shocked. You guys, you paid the money. Take it away quickly. The noodles and oil are on the stool."
"Thank you, sister, for bothering you so late." I said.
"That's fine. Even if you don't come, I'll have to watch you at night."
"What? What are you looking at?"
The eldest sister scratched her head and said, "There is a thief. The two boxes of firecrackers I put outside the door a few days ago are gone. They were leftovers from the sale on the 15th. I don't know which kid stole them."
"Oh, that's how it is."
"By the way, sister, you are getting me a bottle of Longrich snake ointment. How much does it cost?"
"Longliqi....No more, sold out."
"Where is Dabao? Is Dabao there?"
She opened her mouth and yawned, and said, "I don't have Dabao, but I have Yu Meijing, which costs seventy cents a bag."
I could only buy Yu Meijing for 70 cents for Xiaoxuan. It was not because I was afraid of spending money, but because I didn’t have any. If there was anything worth over a thousand yuan, we would buy it.
I carried the oil, and the bean sprouts carried the noodles.
We were walking on the country road at night to deliver something to Sister Achun.
