Chapter 417 Bickering, coming to Pigeon Market again
"You came back yesterday. If you can't stay at home and spend time with your family, why are you here?"
"Let's see you! Of course, there's also Old Man Li and the others."
"You kid." Mr. Xu shook his head.
The old lady was not at home at this point. Needless to say, she probably went out to buy groceries.
Mr. Xu poured Fangyuan a cup of tea and sat down.
"By the way, why are you back at this time?" Mr. Xu asked.
"Uh! Isn't it right to come back at this time?" Fang Yuan looked at Mr. Xu doubtfully.
"No, that's the case. The children of Lao Li and his family also went to the countryside and haven't come back yet. I mean, why did you come back before them?"
"Ah! Li Peiyun and the others went too?" Fang Yuan asked in surprise.
He really didn't know this. If he knew that they had gone there, Fangyuan would definitely ask someone to find out if they were in the same place.
"I've gone, and I think I'm in the same group as you." Mr. Xu looked at Fang Yuan and said.
"Come with me, that should be a place."
"So I said! Why are you back?"
Fangyuan shrugged and said, "I'm doing well."
"It's just you, and you still behave well! I think people are afraid of trouble because of you, so they asked you to get out early." Mr. Xu curled his lips and said.
He had no choice but to give him the impression that Fangyuan was causing trouble and causing trouble. If he said he performed well, Mr. Xu would not believe it no matter what.
Hearing Mr. Xu say this, Fangyuan was also speechless. To be honest, Fangyuan did have this sign and plan when he first started.
But in that case, Fangyuan was worried that he wouldn't be able to come back so soon, so he prepared to find another way, hoping to come back as soon as possible.
In fact, there is another reason why Fangyuan wants to go early, and that is Li Yanran.
"You can think whatever you like! Anyway, I'm back now." Fang Yuan shrugged and said.
At this time, Old Man Li came in from the outside. When he saw Fangyuan, he was stunned and asked: "Little scoundrel, why is it you?"
A jeep drove up to the door of Xu's hometown. How could Old Man Li not know about such a big movement?
But he didn't expect it to be Fangyuan, and thought it was a child from Xu's hometown coming over.
This was mainly because Fangyuan brought a new car, and also because Mr. Li didn't look carefully.
Although Fangyuan is driving a brand new jeep now, the license plate number has not been changed, it is still the original number.
But this is normal, because at this time, few people will pay attention to the license plate number, everyone will only pay attention to the car.
"I said old scoundrel, why can't it be me."
This is not Fangyuan’s fault, he was the one who called Fangyuan a scoundrel in the first place, so Fangyuan could only fight back.
"Why are you back, you little scoundrel?" Old Man Li walked to Fangyuan and sat down directly to ask.
Fangyuan shrugged and said, "Maybe it's my character!"
Old Man Li curled his lips, looked at Fangyuan and said, "It's just you, show your character!"
"What's wrong? Am I a bad character?"
"Uh!" Old Man Li was stunned for a moment, scratched his head and said, "This..."
He really can't say that Fangyuan's character is not good. Fangyuan's character depends entirely on what he treats and who he treats.
For example, to these old men, he really couldn't say that they were absolutely of excellent character.
But this is just for a few of them, for others, this guy has no character at all, let alone any character.
"Isn't that right?" Fangyuan spread his hands.
It was rare for Mr. Xu to see Old Man Li frustrated, but now that Old Man Li was making Fang Yuan unable to speak, he was extremely happy.
In fact, let alone Old Man Li, even he cannot comment on Fangyuan's character casually.
Fangyuan's good character is only for his own people, that is to say, for the people close to him, but for others, Fangyuan has no good character.
"Okay, Old Li, you'd better drink tea! When have you ever won a quarrel with this kid?" Mr. Xu put a cup of tea in front of Mr. Li and said.
"This little rascal has made me mad."
Fangyuan first stared into Old Man Li's eyes for almost five seconds before saying, "Old scoundrel, when did you wake up?"
"Get out of here." Old Man Li pushed Fangyuan directly, but unfortunately his strength couldn't compare with Fangyuan's.
Not only did he not push Fang Yuan, he almost dodged himself. This made Old Man Li so angry!
"Hey hey hey!"
"Okay, brat, don't you know what it means to respect the elderly and love the young?" Mr. Xu said to Fang Yuan.
"That's it, you little scoundrel, you don't even know how to respect the elderly and care for the young."
"I'm talking about old scoundrels. Do you know how to respect the old and love the young?"
"Nonsense, who doesn't know this?" Old Man Li glared at Fangyuan and said.
"That's right. Since you know how to respect the old and love the young, and I respect you as an old person, then why don't you love me as a young person."
"Pfft!" Xu Laogang took a sip of tea in his mouth, and all the tea spurted out by Fangyuan's words.
"I said, old man, am I wrong?" Fang Yuan looked at Mr. Xu and asked.
"No...that's right! You are right."
Mr. Xu wiped the non-existent sweat on his forehead and was speechless!
But it can't be said that Fangyuan was wrong. Compared with them, Fangyuan was not young. Besides, Old Man Li had been quarreling with Fangyuan many years ago.
At that time, Fangyuan was still a child!
"Hey hey hey!"
Old Man Li curled his lips and said, "So there are such big babies!"
"As long as you take care of it, I'm still young compared to an old scoundrel like you!"
"Hey! What are you talking about so lively?" The old lady came in from outside at this time, carrying a basket in her hand.
The old lady didn't see Fangyuan, either. Fangyuan had her back to the door, so of course she couldn't see it.
"Grandma." Hearing the old lady's voice, Fangyuan stood up quickly.
"Fang Yuan? When did you come back?" The old lady quickly put the basket on the ground and walked over to ask.
"I came back yesterday."
"I came back yesterday! Come, let grandma see if she has lost weight." The old lady took Fang Yuan's hand and looked at it from top to bottom.
While looking at it, he nodded and said: "Not bad, not too thin."
Just kidding, how could Fangyuan lose weight? In the past few years, Fangyuan has eaten as much meat as at least a dozen pigs.
And this doesn’t count other meats. If you add them all together, I really don’t know how much there is.
"In this way, you can chat and grandma will cook for you."
"Okay grandma."
After the old lady went to the kitchen, Fangyuan and the others continued chatting, and Fangyuan had no intention of leaving.
The lunch was very sumptuous, and basically everything used was what Fangyuan brought over, but Fangyuan did not eat the pork head.
There is no way, it is too troublesome to clean up the pig head, and it takes more time to do it well, so it is simply too late.
Although he didn't eat the pig head meat, he basically ate the ribs, meat, and pig offal.
Old Man Li didn't leave either. Not only that, Old Man Xu also called Old Man Liu and others and asked them to come over and eat together.
It can be said that this meal was not only sumptuous, but also very enjoyable.
After finishing the meal, Fangyuan drank tea with Mr. Xu and Mr. Li for a while and then left.
There was no way, before this morning, Fangyuan was not so anxious, but after coming out of Lao Cao's house, Fangyuan felt that time was running out.
Who doesn't like to owe others!, so now he is anxiously waiting to make money.
No, after coming out of the compound, Fangyuan drove to Pigeon City.
Of course, there was nothing on his car, but it was empty. Fangyuan planned to take a look first.
As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win a hundred battles. Fangyuan has been away for four years, and he still doesn't know what the situation is like in the imperial capital now.
So the first thing he has to do is to find out how the current pigeon market is different from the past, and then integrate into it.
Of course, before coming to Pigeon Market, Fangyuan also went to the Red Gate, but unfortunately the Red Gate was still closed.
Fangyuan went outside Deshengmen. She first found a relatively remote place to put the jeep away, and then Fangyuan walked there.
Driving around the pigeon market is not a good choice, and he doesn't know what the situation is yet, so he should try to keep a low profile.
Anyway, there's no harm in keeping a low profile.
The pigeon market in the imperial capital is still so lively, even livelier than before.
Of course, the time he mentioned was before he went to the countryside, not ten years ago.
Although it is lively now, it is still far behind what it was before the ten-year period began.
In fact, this is normal, not everyone is so bold.
It has been four years since Fangyuan left. Even those who knew him before have probably forgotten about him. After all, this acquaintance is different from familiarity.
People who are familiar with Fangyuan will recognize him immediately when they see him, but people who know him, even those who have only met him once or have met him a few times, will not recognize him when they see him.
The pigeon market in the imperial capital is incomparable to a small city like Yan'an. This is not only a matter of the number of people, but also the items bought and sold.
Looking at the Pigeon Market in the Imperial Capital, industrial coupons can be seen everywhere, but over there, Fangyuan has never encountered one.
Of course, this may be related to the fact that he goes there less often. If he goes all the time, he might actually encounter it.
But that's just encountering them. If you look here and visit a few stalls, you can see them, although the number is not very large.
There are also various kinds of receipts, which are incomparable over there. Local food stamps and national food stamps are everywhere.
Fangyuan even saw wine tickets, which are rare items and are rarely encountered even in the pigeon market in the imperial capital.
This may be related to the policies in recent years. In recent years, high-end products have been implemented in all walks of life in the imperial capital, so some bills that were basically invisible before are now appearing in Pigeon Market.
"Uncle, how much is a drink ticket?" Fangyuan asked, squatting in front of a stall.
"What kind?"
"This kind of thing." Fangyuan asked, picking up a Moutai liquor ticket.
"Ten dollars a piece."
"Ten...ten yuan?" Fangyuan quickly put down the drink ticket.
Just kidding, buying a bottle of Maotai only costs two yuan and ninety-seven cents, and a ticket costs ten yuan.
Of course, you need to buy it with a ticket for two yuan and ninety-seven cents. Without a ticket, a bottle of Moutai is about sixteen yuan.
