The old Chinese doctor in the courtyard

Chapter 18

After leaving the courtyard, the four got into the carriage. Boss Zhao, who had been questioned by Li Shengli's mother, was not very interested in seeing Li Shengli.

While driving the carriage, he opened his mouth.

"Uncle, Nanny Han was shocked.

Back then, my second child and I dug out a litter of wild boar cubs on the mountain, and my mother had the same expression.

That stinky beating, the tree sticks were cut off, and my grandfather couldn't hold it back, and was pushed a somersault.

But when it comes to Chinese New Year, when the big pot of wild pork is served on the table, my mother has the biggest grin.

I was used to being beaten, and I passed it after I endured it. "

Boss Zhao's persuasion made Li Shengli roll his eyes, and glanced at the second son Zhao who was squatting in the car and nodding his head.

Li Shengli was very helpless. This lie was really difficult to make up in front of his mother.

But one day the truth will be revealed, and now I can only insist that it is the skill from the medical books.

As for Mr. Liu, who is black-hearted and poorly crafted, my mother also doesn't like to see him.

As the cover of the family, Mr. Liu is somewhat unqualified.

After thinking about it, Li Shengli felt that he had to wait to go home and show up with Father Li.

"You Fang, there is still some time before the meal time, let's take a walk around Sijiu City?"

Although the mother Han Jinhua gave the money, the Li family has been struggling to make ends meet recently. Li Shengli also saw it just now.

Except for meat coupons and food stamps, my mother only gave me [-] cents more, which may be all the cash in the family.

The only two yuan or sixty cents in Luolong's pocket is obviously not enough to spend in Sijiu City.

The only way Li Shengli can come up with hospitality now is to lead his brothers to wander around the Forty-Nine City.

"Uncle, when my grandfather came, he told me not to eat your food. He said that the food in the city was rationed.

When we go back, we can't leave the carriage empty. The letter of introduction is for us to go to the Beixinqiao Trust Store to collect junk. "

Hearing what Zhao Youfang said, Li Shengli was also a little puzzled. He had also heard of the trust store.

It's a bit of a joke to go there to collect trash. These days, trash collection is also a public business.

Unless you are really poor and can't afford to eat, the streets and neighborhood committees will turn a blind eye and let individuals charge a little in exchange for some chewing.

Most of these individuals who collect tatters are blind people who do not have a fixed amount, and there are dilapidated households left over from the past, which are more or less dirty.

The bad reputation of collecting junk probably started around this time.

"Is there any junk in the trust shop?"

In Li Shengli's impression, the trust store should be a place for consignment sales.

He got along well with the three brothers of the Zhao family, but he couldn't figure it out, so he asked why.

"It's just some ragged cotton jackets and rotten quilts.

One of my father's comrades-in-arms is in the Beixinqiao Trust Store, which is the door given by him.

Some of the things in the trust store are consigned, and some are collected.

Not many people are willing to buy cotton clothes and bedding from trust stores, even if they buy, they are not as good as selling.

Cotton clothes and bedding in stock will rot and grow hair after a long time, and they are reluctant to throw them away, so they can only be sold as rags.

The rags collected were dismantled at home, and the rags could be used for shoe soles, and some better ones could be used as shoe uppers.

The removed cotton can be used as bedding after washing and bombing. "

After listening to Boss Zhao's explanation, Li Shengli understood.

It is nothing more than a problem of wastage. The cotton clothes and bedding rotted in the warehouse are not easy to sell to the scrap yard, which makes Wali Village cheaper.

"You just go to see your father's comrades in arms empty-handed?"

When it comes to wear and tear, we have to talk about the sophistication of the world, which is not conducive to preservation.

There is still a big difference between rotten into a pile and rotten at a corner.

As someone who has experienced it, although Li Shengli's sophistication is not sophisticated, he still thinks he has it.

Although the friendship in this era is very pure, but when it comes to quotas and tickets, life is not easy for anyone.

"My grandfather used to come here, so you don't need to bring anything."

After listening to Boss Zhao's explanation, Li Shengli pointed his finger and told him to turn around and go back to the courtyard.

Because he couldn't figure out the truth and reality inside, Li Shengli was not too generous here.

I just brought two pumpkins, about ten catties of dried melons, and a small bag of rabbit meat and fish meat. Although it is not worth a pack of cigarettes, it is more affordable.

After taking the things, the four went all the way to the Beixinqiao Trust Store, and Zhao Laoer went in to find Zhao Mankui's comrade-in-arms Xiao Changgong.

When Uncle Xiao Changgong of the three brothers came out, Li Shengli also understood the reason why the three of them didn't bring anything.

Xiao Changgong, who came out from the main entrance of the trust store, was as thin as a bamboo pole, with an abnormal bluish-black face.

Li Shengli had only read about this kind of appearance in books, malnutrition caused by excessive hunger.

"You son of a bitch, who asked you to bring something?"

Xiao Changgong's words and actions also brought out his temperament, he was upright and did not rub a grain of sand in his eyes.

Boss Zhao, who got a big neck, looked at Li Shengli with some grievances, and didn't know how to reply.

Apparently Boss Zhao was often beaten by this Uncle Xiao, and there was only grievance in his eyes, without the slightest resentment.

Seeing the bright red palm print on Boss Zhao's neck, Li Shengli knew how happy he was.

Compared with Xiao Changgong's, mother Han Jinhua's big neck is like a massage.

"I am brother to Zhao Mankui from Wali Village. The three of them call me Uncle. I don't know what to call me?"

Once the seniority is set, there can be no chaos. Li Shengli faced the black face Xiao Changgong, although he was a little scared, he couldn't be cowardly at all.

In order not to let the three brothers of the Zhao family continue to be beaten, he had to step up.

"My name is Xiao Changgong, I used to be a long-term worker in the landlord's house, and now I am a longbow for archery.

The security chief of Beixinqiao, Zhao Mankui's comrade-in-arms, he saved me, and I saved him, he is a life and death brother on the battlefield.

You talk to him about brothers, that is, my brother. I am uneducated, straightforward, and have a bad temper. If you don’t want to, just call me Lao Xiao. "

The upright old Xiao stood in front of him like a living skeleton, giving people a strong sense of oppression.

Don't look at him as thin as a bamboo pole, but his eyes are full of fierce light, like a fierce tiger that chooses to eat people.

"Brother Xiao, I asked Youfang to bring the things.

It was originally intended to be given to you, but now it seems that even if it is given to you, you will not want it.

Then show it to the warehouse guy.

The morning report is no different from the evening report. The conditions in the village below are not good. This convenience should be given, right?

We don't go through your back door, but through the warehouse management's back door. Isn't this against the regulations? "

Uncle Li Shengli's words made the three brothers of the Zhao family shrink back.

This Uncle Xiao is good at everything, except for beating children.

Every time the three brothers visited the city, they would probably be beaten.

The children of the Xiao family couldn't bear the beatings, and they often ran to live in the valley. The bed frame in the wing room of the house was prepared for the children of the Xiao family.

Don't talk about contradicting like this, in Xiao's house, if you look wrong, you will be beaten.

Facing Xiao Changgong who looked like a tiger, Li Shengli's palms were sweating.

This ferocious tiger who came down from the battlefield probably has war syndrome, and his honesty is outrageous.

What he said just now was also because he was trying to figure out Xiao Changgong's temperament, and he didn't know what the consequences would be.

"You're right, I don't care about gift giving.

But the things in Curry are the property of the public, and if they don’t meet the regulations, they can’t go out. "

Glancing at Li Shengli and the others, Xiao Changgong is also a bachelor, so he can't control the gift giving, which is not within his scope of authority.

As long as it meets the regulations, he will let it go. If it doesn't meet the regulations, it's useless for anyone to come.

Seeing that he had guessed Xiao Changgong's temper correctly, a smile appeared on Li Shengli's face.

The one who came back from North Korea should be the chief of the security section anyway, but this one is only a section chief.

It must be a character factor that limited his development, and his character was affected by the war syndrome.

This disease is basically terminally ill nowadays, there is no cure, and Li Shengli has nothing to do.

"Brother Xiao, I saw you make a move just now, it must be with kung fu, right?
Can you teach me this little brother.

To tell you the truth, my master is a wandering doctor, and he often travels around mountain villages to practice medicine.

The road to practicing medicine is not smooth, can you teach me? "

Xiao Changgong let go, and Li Shengli didn't let the Zhao brothers into the trust store, but chatted with him about kung fu.

"Have!

I am the direct descendant of Cheng Pai Baguazhang, but you are too old and have no basic skills, so you are not qualified to learn from me now.

You are not qualified to learn the basics from my second son.

Since you are my brother, let my son teach you.

Yougang, run to my house and find your second brother. "

Uncle Xiao had spoken, and the third son of the Zhao family disappeared in a flash.

Although he is young, he has also been beaten by Uncle Xiao. If he is not quick, he may be beaten again.

For moving around a lot.The brothers of the Zhao family were quite familiar with the Beixinqiao area, and Xiao Changgong's family, Zhao Laosan, also knew about it, so they turned around and ran away.

"Brother, I will learn art from your son, what will we do in the future?"

Things have taken shape, but Li Shengli still has questions to ask.

Li Shengli's problem was not a problem at all on Xiao Changgong's side.

Glancing at this invincible brother, Xiao Changgong said directly.

"He's just passing on the art, whether you can learn it or not depends on your ability.

Can't learn to count.

If we can learn, our family is the current big brother in the sect, and we can accept apprentices on behalf of teachers. "

After Xiao Changgong answered the questions neatly, he was about to lead everyone to the backyard of the trust store.

But he was stopped by Li Shengli's words.

"Brother, since I want to learn art, do I want to give a thank you gift?

Since my brother is the direct successor of Cheng Pai, there should be rules, right? "

Li Shengli made a big circle, not for anything else, but to give Xiao Changgong a gift.

Looking at his black and blue face, if he doesn't add a little nutrition, I'm afraid that the end of his life will be close at hand.

Now that he talked about brothers with Zhao Mankui, it is not Li Shengli's principle to deal with Lao Zhao's life and death brothers.

From the perspective of mental state, Lao Xiao's problem is not serious, but he eats too little and is hungry for too long.

As long as the nutrition keeps up, with his mental state, the recovery speed will be very fast.

It was fate that the trust store accepted a humanoid rag before they received the rag.

Because of saving Lord Hai, the entanglement between him and the Zhao family has reached a certain depth in the past few days. This fate is really wonderful.

"The new era does not follow the old rules. If you insist on following the old rules, you can just give them away."

With Lao Xiao's straightforward temper, I am afraid that he is not popular in the work unit.

When Luo Guo went up the mountain, it was not difficult to guess that there was no one to help him, and he was reluctant to speak to his life and death brother Zhao Mankui.

There was a slight accident at home, that is, a series of failures to pick up, and now Li Shengli's family is experiencing such a situation.

Presumably Lao Xiao has been in this state for a long time.

"Brother, I am a Chinese medicine student, and what I pay attention to is the old rules.

Let's not worry, I also need to know my brother's family name to give gifts! "

Helping Xiao Changgong's family's hard life is not a help for Li Shengli, who is currently carrying a gold nugget.

As long as the gold nuggets can be exchanged for money, he is definitely a little rich man, and he can help Old Xiao's life, but it's just a little bit.

"No. 12 in Banqiao Hutong, let's talk to Xiao Laogang.

Let's go, if it's later, the warehouse manager and the accountant will have dinner after get off work. "

With a fierce look in his eyes, he glanced at Li Shengli. Xiao Changgong felt that he was not worthy to be Zhao Mankui's brother, and he looked down on Li Shengli.

Gossip is like a chatterbox, it's really annoying.
