Except for the Jia family who often complained about the hard life, everyone basically devoted themselves to work wholeheartedly.
Silly Zhu still walks around every day and can't find a job, and suffers the glares from Jia Zhang and Xiao Danghuaihua every day.
If he breaks a jar and breaks it, he will eat if he is given food. If he is not given food, he will ask the second and third uncles to make the decision.
For Qin Huairu, every time before she could speak, he would mention the child first, leaving Qin Huairu speechless.
This method of laziness and cheating really allowed him to survive.
The sun and the moon alternate, and in the blink of an eye it is late spring and March.
On this Sunday, Lou Xiao'e took Lin Guolin's family to the Dongdan vegetable market to buy fish.
I am going to stew a fish for my husband tonight to improve my life.
During this period, Lin Zhen has been busy with research and development. The basic drawings of the single-screw air compressor have been designed and are just waiting to be assembled with production parts.
Lin Zhen hasn't had a break in the past month. He will work overtime today just like Sunday and won't come back until tonight.
Lin Zhen just devoted himself to his work and worked hard, and Lou Xiaoe did not let him worry about family matters at all.
"Mom, there is a big fire burner here. I bought it for Dad to grill over charcoal and drink!"
When Lin Guo saw a fire burning in the stall, he quickly called his mother over.
Lou Xiao'e nodded and said with a smile: "Okay, buy a red fish to stew in soup and a fire to roast. Comrade, I want these two fish!"
After coming out of the vegetable market, each of Lin Guolin's family weighed a fish, and Lou Xiao'e weighed some seasonal vegetables.
The mother and son were walking talking and laughing when a bicycle rode over.
squeak~
The bicycle stopped in front of Lou Xiao'e, and a middle-aged man on the bicycle said in a panic: "Are you Comrade Lou Xiao'e?"
Lou Xiao'e's heart moved and she asked cautiously: "It's me, who are you? What do you want from me?"
"I am just a messenger. The old servant of the Lou family, Wang Ma, is seriously ill and will die soon. I want to see you one last time before she passes away. I came to you specifically to go to the hospital.
The third and fourth said you were here, so I hurried over."
"What?"
Lou Xiao'e's mind was buzzing, and the dishes in her hands fell to the ground. Her vision went dark and she almost fell over.
Lin Guolin's family hurriedly supported their mother from left to right and picked up the vegetables.
"Mom, don't get excited. Listen to what this uncle has to say."
Lou Xiaoe's concern leads to chaos.
Wang Ma was the one who watched her grow up. Her parents left, so Wang Ma was the only Lou family member left in Sijiu City.
It has always been in Lou Xiao'e's mind. Although they don't meet often, they can hear news from each other from time to time, which makes them very satisfied.
Now when she heard that Wang Ma was seriously ill, Lou Xiaoe seemed to have lost her only connection with her natal family.
After a while, he calmed down a little and asked hurriedly: "What's wrong with Mother Wang? What is the illness and when did it happen?"
The middle-aged man said: "Stroke, sudden illness. I fell ill last night before going to bed. Fortunately, Dakui found out. Otherwise, I would have sent you a letter to express my condolences today."
Lou Xiao'e said anxiously: "What now? What's the situation now? Which hospital is it in?"
"He is being treated at Xidan Hospital, but Da Kui has little savings, and he is embarrassed to say that. I am here to say something on his behalf, can you lend him some? Don't let him know, otherwise he will definitely lose his stubborn temper."
Lou Xiao'e said: "This is nothing, let's go quickly, Lin Guo, you go to the factory to find your dad, Lin family, you go to the clinic and call Ye Qi, I will go home and get the money, hurry!"
The middle-aged man said: "Where should I wait? How about I go first with my two children?"
"No, they can run faster than your bicycle, Lin Guolin family, hurry up!"
Lou Xiao'e was really panicked, her whole body was cold and her mind was blank.
I can't help but burst into tears when I think about seeing Wang Ma again after ten years of separation and having to meet again in this way.
When I think of my parents who are far away in Xiangjiang, I don't know when I can see them again, and I feel even more uncomfortable.
The Lin family cannot understand Lou Xiao'e's anxious mood.
After all, they had no impression of Grandma Wang at all. They only heard her mother say it, and it was hard to imagine how her mother could be so anxious when Grandma Wang was seriously ill.
The two brothers didn't panic, so they naturally noticed something was wrong.
Lin Zhen usually taught them to observe words and expressions and pay attention to details.
They found that the middle-aged man had not said his name yet, and there was no sweat on his head.
Although it's not summer yet, the weather in March and April is already very warm.
If you usually wear an autumn coat and a jacket over it, you won't feel cold.
If you are riding a bicycle from Xidan to Dongdan, unless you are strolling slowly and leisurely, it is impossible not to sweat.
And this middle-aged man said that he came all the way here in a hurry, which would be a bit of a lie.
The Lin family in Lin Guo is already in their teens. I didn’t know about it before, but now I have learned about the past situation of my grandpa’s family.
I also learned what my father often meant by being cautious.
Looking at it now, I can't help but suspect that this middle-aged man is here to cheat money.
Seeing my mother in a hurry and panic, I quickly pulled my mother aside.
Lin Guo whispered: "Mom, this person never said his name, and he just asked you to take money. It's too suspicious."
The Lin family also said: "He came from Xidan. He said he rode all the way there without even a drop of sweat on his forehead. My father is the only one in the world who has that kind of ability."
Lou Xiao'e was stunned for a moment, and the alarm bell in her head suddenly rang.
I couldn't help but feel ashamed and said: "So that's how it is. The authorities are really deluded. I understand, let's go home!"
Lou Xiao'e said and took her two sons away.
The middle-aged man who delivered the letter was stunned and said hurriedly: "Comrade Lou Xiao'e, are you going home to get money? It doesn't take too long. I'm afraid that Mother Wang won't be able to hold on for too long."
Lou Xiao'e said: "You wait here, we will be back soon."
After saying that, the mother and son left without looking back.
Lou Xiao'e just cared too much about Wang Ma, and the other party said she had a nose and eyes.
First, he said he would go to his house to find no one, but Lin Dong and Lin Liang told him to come to the market to look for him.
He also said that Da Kui had little savings and was stubborn and did not want to harm himself.
Those who are not familiar with the situation would not be able to say these things.
In addition, Lou Xiao'e had seen Yi Zhonghai and Jia Zhang's strokes. If Ye Qi hadn't saved them in time, they would have been dead.
That's why Lou Xiao'e panicked.
But she is not a fool. On the contrary, as long as she reacts to this kind of deception, there will be nothing he can do to her if he tries to trick her again.
Because Lou Xiaoe understands the principle of cutting off the crisis from the root.
After being reminded by her two sons, Lou Xiaoe calmed down and thought about it and realized something was wrong.
Apart from anything else, it is simply impossible for this man to ride a bicycle for most of Forty-Nine City without breaking a sweat.
Not to mention just pressing for money without mentioning what your name is.
After calming down, Lou Xiaoe immediately led her two sons away from the scene.
If you say one more word to this middle-aged man, you will give him a chance to deceive you.
No matter how clever a liar is, when you ignore him, he becomes a person who is acting for himself.
No matter how powerful the fraudster is, he still has to communicate with the deceived party before he can dig a trap and slowly let his prey fall into his trap.
But as long as the deceived party ignores him, no interaction will occur, and no matter how sophisticated the trap is, it is just a setup.
No matter how powerful the means are, they must be put away and waited.
Lou Xiao'e didn't give him a chance to say another word and immediately closed the door.
If she hadn't been worried that her two sons couldn't defeat this middle-aged man, Lou Xiaoe would have immediately asked the Lin family to take this man to Director Zhang.
Lin Guodao: "Mom, do you want to go home directly? Do you want to catch him? My second brother and I can beat him."
"No, I can't put you in any danger. I won't allow you to get beaten even if you can. Come back with me quickly. Go to your brother Ye's clinic first and call Xidan Hospital to ask."
Lin Jiadao: "I'll go to the steel rolling mill to find dad and ask Brother Sun to catch him."
"Go to the clinic and call the clinic first to make sure your Grandma Wang is okay and then consider how to deal with this person. Leave quickly!"
Lou Xiao'e disappeared on the street in the blink of an eye. The middle-aged man felt helpless, clenched his fists and unclenched them, and waited quietly.
Ye Qi's clinic had a telephone two years ago. After hearing what the teacher's wife said, she immediately called Xidan Hospital to inquire.
He had the telephone numbers of all major hospitals in Sijiucheng, and he quickly learned the truth.
The person just now was indeed a liar, but what he said was half true and half false, otherwise Lou Xiaoe would not have been so flustered and almost fooled.
Wang's mother did go to the hospital yesterday, but it was not a cerebral infarction or a stroke, but food poisoning due to a bad stomach. She was discharged from the hospital this morning.
Xidan Hospital doesn't know anything else, but it's certain that the person just now is a liar.
Lou Xiao'e breathed a sigh of relief.
"Fortunately, Mrs. Wang is fine. Ye Qi, call your master's office and I will tell him the situation."
After listening to Lou Xiao'e's story, Lin Zhen nodded and said: "You did a good job. If you encounter scammers, kidnappers, and blackmailers, don't get involved with them. Leave the scene immediately and tell me. No matter how clever a liar is, he won't be able to use his skills if he can't talk to you.
You don’t need to worry about the rest.”
"Master, I am really concerned about this matter. I really miss Wang Ma. I haven't seen her in ten years. I'm really afraid that I won't have the chance to see her in the future."
"Well... let's do this. Next Sunday, we will take the children to the zoo, which is close to her home. I will find a way to notify Dakui. There are many people in the zoo, and no one will notice us for how long we chat together."
"Okay, what about that person just now?"
"Hey, Chen Zhiguo has just become a full-time employee, I will give him a reward."
The middle-aged man was still waiting on the street. After waiting for almost thirty minutes, he felt that Lou Xiao'e should come from home, but when he looked at the end of the street, he could not see Lou Xiao'e's shadow.
"Damn it, wait for the next chance!"
As soon as he got on his bicycle and was about to leave, two bicycles turned up in front of him, two young men and two old men.
There was an old man with a pockmarked face and two front teeth missing. It was Zhang Pockmarked.
The other person with a red face does not need to have wrinkles on his face, it is naturally Lao Fengtou.
The riders were Ma Liu and Er Pizi.
"Damn it, what kind of sheep are you from the west coming to the east to catch? Why don't you ask who the hell Zhang Mazi and Lao Fengtou are. They almost caused my brothers to lose their lives. Ma Liu, Erpizi, come on! Catch me.
To Comrade Chen Zhiguo in the institute!"
