Chapter 65: Congrats to the first protector in the alley!
(Thank you to the Third Master and the Queen for their favor. I will reward you with 10,000 starting coins. I will be promoted to the Dharma Protector of this book. I will add a special chapter. Thank you for the three views.)
Calabash boy was training at the Qinshan Martial Arts School and could not come home once every ten and a half months. Sister-in-law Hu's house was very deserted.
The houses in the alley are built close to the courtyard, with two households in one door, and each house has a main house, a side room or a warehouse.
Sister-in-law Hu's yard was bought by her late husband in the early years. The two main houses facing each other plus a side room were much more luxurious than Lin Chou's small restaurant in the alley.
Sister-in-law Hu and Brother Hu used to make and sell soy sauce. There were rows of half-person-high sauce vats under the courtyard wall, and there was a fermented smell wafting out.
"Lin Zi, don't be disgusted, sit down!" Sister-in-law Hu arranged Lin Chou to sit down, then went to the kitchen and got busy. After a while, she made four side dishes.
Stir-fried bean dregs, crispy pork, cold wild vegetables, and a plate of steamed ham slices.
"Sister-in-law, what are you doing? It's too extravagant!"
Wild vegetables can be picked in the city, and bean dregs are the leftovers from grinding tofu, but fresh meat and ham are different. For the residents in the alley, these two dishes require almost half a month of hard work.
Sister-in-law Hu changed into a pale white dress and looked at Lin Chou with blank eyes, "Lin Zi, Calabash Baby, Calabash Baby... he might be awakening!!"
After saying this, Mrs. Hu's tears fell down. She seemed to have lost all her strength, and she lay on the stone table and cried bitterly.
"Sister-in-law, this is a good thing! Why are you crying?" Lin Chou said at a loss.
"Yes, it's a good thing. It's a good thing. Calabash Boy said that after he and Erhu ate the salt-baked chicken you sent, he could sense some... abnormalities in his blood vessels. His mentor said it was
With the power of blood, Calabash Baby may soon become an awakener. Sister-in-law, I kneel down to you, thank you, thank you, Lin Zi."
This meal was not good at all. I cried and was comforted all the way.
Lin Chou murmured in his heart, how could such a coincidence happen?
Those first-level guys in the wilderness eat salt-baked chicken for the first time, and few of them even advance to the next level, let alone the next level. How can they eat them all with such accuracy from these two little brats?
After returning to his home, Lin Chou still had something to do. He wanted to pick up something.
There is an old fire and an old stove. Although the stove has long been cold, the special smell of smoke will not dissipate.
Lin Chou forcefully smashed the half-hand-thick living brick under the stove, and pulled out a flat stone with jagged canine teeth about one foot in size from the cavity underneath.
This thing has been passed down from the ancestors of Lin Chou's family and has been maintained by living fire, even during the great catastrophe.
"Still."
He nodded happily, stuffed the stone into his backpack and packed it away.
The backpack was stolen from a potted plant. It was very strong and contained the raw materials that Lin Chou thought he would use: a jar of three-color snake wine, most of a jar of five-color snake king wine, devil pepper powder, Sichuan peppercorns, etc.
Although I knew that Xue Papi would not have a real chef showdown with him openly, it was better to be prepared.
Well, it's a bit malicious to think so.
...
Two streets away from Pythagorean Alley - Xiacheng District, Tianshui Lane.
Four black cargo trucks were lined up in front of Wang's house, and each car had a license plate for official use by the commission.
A dozen loading and unloading workers were busy moving various household items to the car, while two uniformed workers from the production committee were talking to Wang Shanhong's wife with smiles on their faces.
"Congratulations, Mrs. Wang, everything is ready over there. These things..."
Wang Shanhong's wife, Xia Erya, had a rosy face and spoke in such a high voice that the whole alley could hear her shrill voice, "How can that happen? We are passing through a house. These furniture are good, can we throw them away?"
"That's it, that's it, Madam is really diligent and thrifty..."
Just as he was talking, a gray-haired old woman held a cloth bag in both hands and was struggling to deliver it to the car.
"Oh! Sister! What is this thing? It's so old! I don't want it anymore! Throw it away!" Xia Erya snatched the things from the old man's hands and threw them into the garbage.
"You can't throw them away! These are Huizi's old clothes!" the old lady said distressedly.
Xia Erya raised her eyebrows, "I won't want it if I say no!!"
The old man was speechless and stopped talking.
Two committee members asked, "Mrs. Wang... is this..."
Xia Erya said impatiently, "Oh, this is my sister."
The staff member was stunned, "Are you Mr. Xia Zhonghui's mother, Comrade Xia Zhen?"
The old lady nodded, "Yes, I am."
The two staff members quickly supported the old man and said, "Hello, hello, I am Xiao Zhang who is having trouble. Just let us do this chore!"
"It's not in the way, it's not in the way, you are busy with your business!"
Xia Erya raised her eyebrows and said, "Sister! What are you busy with? They just move our family! Don't make trouble!"
The faces of the two staff members were darkened. It’s true that we are here to move. Why do we sound like your servants?!
Outside the door, many neighbors from Tianshui Lane came to watch the fun.
Why don't you come and take a look at the huge array of the Wang family?
"Tsk, tsk, I really didn't expect that Wang Shanhong could move to Shangcheng District after being a coward all his life."
"Tch, what future can he have? Xia Zhen's son has become a mutant, and the Wang family will benefit from it."
"She didn't feel ashamed, and she had the nerve to yell, Xia's mother-in-law let them bully her for the rest of her life, and it gave them an advantage!"
"I heard that Xia Zhen's son can become an evolved person despite his poor brain? When did evolved people become so worthless?"
The house assigned to Xia Zhonghui is near Qingquan Mountain. It is a high-end apartment with an area of 240 square meters. It has six bedrooms, which is comfortable and spacious.
Xia Erya sat on the big sofa with a happy face and commanded, "Sister, you and Xiaoyu live in this house, give the bedroom next to the bathroom to Huizi! Shanzi? Where did you die? Come and make our bed! I bought a new one.
bedding! I don’t want the old one!!”
Xia Yu pouted, "Second aunt, doesn't this have six bedrooms? Why do you want mom and I to share a room?"
Xia Erya yelled at the top of her lungs, "Little girl, it's not okay to live in the same house with your mother? Your second uncle and I have one, Lele has one, and your brother has one. Where can we put all Lele's toys? There are guests at home."
What should I do if I want to stay? Go, go, don’t make trouble!"
"Hmph! Then my mother and I will live in the one facing the sun! That one is spacious!" Xia Yu said.
"You!" Xia Erya put her hands on her hips and was about to have a seizure.
Xia's mother gave Xia Yu a tug, "We can just live in this small one, Xiaoyu, don't make any trouble."
"Humph!" Xia Yu pursed her lips with helplessness and resentment on her face, and dragged her things to the small bedroom.
