Siheyuan diet for men and women

Chapter 613
"I know, I know what he wants to do"

Yang Fengshan suddenly turned his head to look at Xu Sinian who was frowning and thinking, "But the current conditions do not allow it. He is too young and too anxious."

"But……!"

Xu Sinian looked at the factory manager and said, "The news from above these days..."

"The lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and the superiority is in the heart"

Yang Fengshan's expression has the calmness and determination of a superior, but also determination and persistence.

"This day, it is the people's day after all, this rolling mill, after all, is the rolling mill for all workers"

Xu Sinian stood there for a long time, watching the back of the factory director Gu Han, turned and walked out of the factory director's office silently.

This is not a contradiction between the factory director and the deputy factory director, nor is it a contradiction between a certain person and a certain person, but that everyone has followed the trend of the times and reached a fork in the road, facing the contradiction that has to make a choice.

As the director of the office, Xu Sinian has never favored anyone, let alone violated morality, violated work discipline, or expressed his personal political will.

His work is a link between the past and the future, and he pays attention to seeking truth from facts and being honest with the audience. If he is biased and tells truth, then he will not be able to hold this position for long.

But in today's matter, Xu Sinian felt a little guilty. It wasn't that he didn't want to say that those testimonies were just rubbish, but that even if he said it, things would still proceed according to the established track.

Does the factory director fear and care about what is in Li Xuewu's hands?

Of course not, it's just a few drivers, even if some people are involved, so what?
Li Xuewu didn't have the determination to kill him, and Li Huaide didn't even have it.

No one wanted the rolling mill ship to sink, but no one wanted to steer it.

Contradictions and compromises are intertwined, and we are working together to keep the ship going. We are all working hard, but in different directions.

Xu Sinian walked to the door of his office, hesitated for a moment, raised his foot and wanted to go downstairs, but habitually glanced out of the corridor window.

Outside the window is the direction of the security building, and a jeep has just started at the gate of the security building, and it is driving towards the gate.

Xu Sinian stood still, frowning and looking at the leaving jeep, not knowing exactly what kind of chess Li Xuewu was playing.

-

"Will!"

"Don't move! Don't play around!"

"Hey! Aren't you very smart~ Aren't you excellent~ You go~"

Huang Gan held a few chess pieces in his hands, shook his shoulders triumphantly, and chattered non-stop, as if he was pressing a motor.

Li Xuewu, who was sitting opposite him, was frowning and looking at the chessboard in front of him, thinking about his next move.

"You should go~"

"Are you a chess player, or a face-to-face~"

"Aren't you going to go? We've already had dinner~"

……

Li Xuewu knocked the chess piece in his hand on the table, and said: "Your mouth is even more broken than the mouth of the second widow in our front yard, but you are caught!"

"Hey~ I would like to admit defeat!"

Huang Gan stretched out his hand and touched the lighter that Li Xuewu put on the table away, his eyes were squinted with a smile, and he thought he was betting on a treasure with such a smug look.

"Hehe~ It's been a long time since we fell in love!"

Seeing his smug look, Li Xuewu also chuckled lightly, took a sip of the tea on the table.

"Hey, don't worry about it~"

Huang Gan put the lighter into his pocket with a smile, and then said with a smile: "Lighters are secondary, winning you is the main thing."

Then he shook his hands in a serious manner, took out the cigarette case and lighter from his pocket, took a cigarette in his mouth, and then flicked the lighter to light the cigarette on his mouth.

"Huh~ha!"

Huang Gan was angry with Li Xuewu, who smoked like a rich landlord, with one eye squinted.

Li Xuewu smiled nonchalantly, it was just a lighter, and he got it from Li Huaide.

"Okay~! The lighters are gone, it seems that I really have to quit smoking in the future"

"Yo! Really?"

Huang Ganzei smiled and asked, "Don't you just quit today? Would you dare to pick it up again tomorrow if you get another chance?"

"I really want to quit, smoking hurts my lungs"

Li Xuewu smiled and sat on the sofa and stretched his waist, explaining in his mouth: "Gu Ning doesn't like the smell of cigarettes either, and I don't have any addiction to cigarettes myself."

"Fuck! I don't believe it!"

Huang Gan looked at Li Xuewu warily and said, "Didn't you pretend to be pitiful with me and want to take the lighter back?"

"Hehe~ Whatever you think"

Li Xuewu chuckled, then looked at the chessboard in front of him and the brand new chess pieces, and asked, "You told me that this is the best thing to see?"

"How about it?"

Huang Gan's eyes were very bright, and he explained with a smile: "Inspired by you, I thought, this paper making can make money, this printing can also make money, what else can make money?"

"Hey! After thinking about it, I really found it!"

Huang Gan clicked on the chess pieces on the table and said: "I have been engaged in the export of ivory carvings for more than five years. I don't know which unscrupulous thing has a semi-mechanical engraving machine, blanking machine and brazing machine. The whole set of things is just like that in our warehouse. Heaps of ashes."

"Just let you come back?"

Li Xuewu looked at the chess pieces on the table with great interest, the carvings were just so-so, the characters were a bit weak, the color was not good, and the materials were also ordinary wood.

"Hey! Guess why I fell for this?"

Huang Gan squinted his eyes, and said: "I told the logistics manager, this pile of broken copper and iron is useless here, it's better to let me get it, so it won't take up space."

"Hey! He didn't do it in a daze, so he insisted on registering!"

Huang Gan said with a smirk: "I'll just say, it's better to use it instead of it. Don't we have paper, let's exchange it with paper~"

"That's it, I used ten boxes of office paper and a pack of cigarettes to exchange this thing back."

Li Xuewu looked at Huang Gan's chicken thief and chuckled, slapped the chess piece in his hand in front of him, and asked, "Can you sell this for money?"

"This is a semi-finished product, a test product"

Huang Gan picked up the chess piece and explained: "This is what I let them play with when I have nothing to do."

While talking, Huang Gan raised the chess pieces in Yang's hand and asked, "Do you know how much a pair of chess pieces in the Supply and Marketing Cooperative cost?"

Li Xuewu looked at Huang Gan without speaking, waiting for his answer.

Because Li Xuewu really doesn't know the price of this thing, he usually buys cigarettes and goes to the supply and marketing cooperatives, and rarely goes to others, and he doesn't lack anything.

Sometimes I'm lazy, and even let the stick or Lao Biaozi give the runway, he has enough experience with the service of the supply and marketing cooperative.

"this kind of"

Huang Gan raised the ordinary wooden chess in his hand and said: "With a wooden box, it sells for thirteen, is it black or not?"

"and then?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and asked, "Are you going to make this too? Then sell it for twelve? Bring down the price?"

"I don't!"

Huang Gan stared and said: "Why! They sell thirteen, of course I have to sell thirteen."

"Then you are the crow standing on the pig"

Li Xuewu fanned the smoke from Huang Gan with his hands, and said with a smile, "Don't say it's just a half-pound."

"For me, it's mainly to entertain the masses in their spare time and improve the relationship between neighbors."

Huang Qian looked at Li Xuewu and asked with a smile: "You said that if we have a good job, can we sell it?"

"No problem at all"

Li Xuewu folded his legs and nodded seriously, saying: "This thing must be a good seller."

"Hey, I'll tell Li Wenbiao later on"

Huang Gan said with a smile: "This kid has a lot of ideas, and he will definitely find a way to get them out."

"Why did you follow him?"

Li Xuewu leaned his elbows on his knees and asked, "Do you regard him as a good boy?"

"I regard you as the God of Wealth!"

Huang Gan cleaned up the chess pieces on the table, and said with a smile: "The first sum of spoils has arrived, and we will eat meat that day, and eat big fat meat and stewed potatoes, hey!~"

"Be careful"

Li Xuewu nodded Huang Gan, and said: "Speak out loudly, if people hear you, they must say you have a problem."

After speaking, he clicked on the chess pieces that Huang Gan was packing up and said: "The engraving machine can not only engrave this, but also mahjong."

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said: "There is a guy named Liu Haizhong in our courtyard who likes to play mahjong. It took [-] catties of food stamps to exchange for a pair, and that one is worth the money."

Huang Gan frowned and thought for a while, then asked: "Isn't mahjong made of ceramics, does it have something to do with the fucking engraving machine?"

"Who told you that mahjong has to be ceramic?"

Li Xuewu knocked on the chessboard at hand and said, "Can't it be made of hardwood?"

There is mahjong not only in Liu Haizhong’s house in the courtyard, but also in the inverted house, but it is bamboo bone mahjong, which is relatively old.

Nowadays, no one forbids playing mahjong, and no one forbids playing poker. At this time, the entertainment is the same. Boys love to play Go, which is made of glass, while adults love to play poker and mahjong.

As long as it doesn't involve big bets, very few people are punished or arrested for this.

Even in this period of time in the future, there is no ban on playing poker, and the portraits of those people are printed on the poker.

Li Xuewu's visit today was not just idle to see Huang Gan's baby coming, but also the things he told Wang Xiaoqin and the others last weekend.

"In the future, you can talk to Lao Biaozi about mahjong, poker and chess, and come up with a few new tricks. You can produce them and sell them. Happy cooperation."

"Hey, you really talked!"

Huang Gan threw the last chess piece into the cardboard box, pointed at Li Xuewu and said, "Huaqing said that they will send a few more printing machines to form a relatively complete printing workshop. They said that our printing environment here is good. The quality is good and the level of confidentiality is high.”

"Hey! What's this called!"

Huang Gan looked at Li Xuewu and complained: "It's so sweet to do printing in the prison, don't worry, my place will become a model in the future."

Muttering in his mouth, he extinguished the cigarette in the ashtray, and said: "In the batch of machines that will be shipped, there are machines that can print poker, the latest machines, I don't know what I'm thinking."

However, Li Xuewu knew what Huaqing was thinking, so he was decisive enough to start the hardware transfer, maybe there were other things that were transferred away.

Thinking of this, Li Xuewu's eyes couldn't help but brighten up, and there was a sly smile on his face that made Huang Gan feel his sly smile.

"What are you laughing at?"

Huang Gan stared, put the cigarette case and lighter on the table into his pocket, and asked at the same time: "I haven't asked you yet, aren't you going to work today? Why do you have time to come to me?"

Li Xuewu looked at Huang Gan who was forcefully changing the subject, curled his lips and said: "Protect me, maybe I will snatch it back at any time."

After finishing speaking, he rolled his eyes and said angrily, "I've brought you money, do you want it?"

"Yes, why not?"

Huang Gan got up very simply, kicked the chess box at his feet under the coffee table, went to the tea cabinet and picked up a thermos bottle, walked back, and said as he walked: "You are my God of Wealth, if you say to send me money, then It’s definitely here to send money.”

Li Xuewu shook his chin, looked at the guy who poured hot water for himself, and could only say: "This printing and papermaking don't need many people, and the rest of the people are idle, I will find you some skills Workers, come and teach them to do manual work."

Picking up the teacup, he took a sip of tea, and continued: "First come a cobbler, a tailor, and later there are those who make palace lanterns, enamel filigree, buckles, emerald greens, silk flowers, and kites... "

"Wait! Wait! Beep~~!"

Huang Gan stared at Li Xuewu and said, "What are you doing? What kind of place do you take me for? The circus or the Liulichang? What is it all about?"

"wrong!"

Huang Qian seemed to understand something, looked at Li Xuewu and asked: "The member benefits that you and Wang Xiaoqin said about the co-authorship came from me?!"

"if not?"

Li Xuewu raised his eyebrows and said: "I only have a cobbler and a tailor I know, and you can't do much if you make them exhausted!"

"Moreover!"

Li Xuewu clicked out of the window and said: "You locked up so many people here, and you eat idle food every day? Don't you think about their lives after they go out?!"

"I have to thank you for them for co-authoring?"

Huang Gan looked at Li Xuewu with a gruff expression on his face, and said, "Then are you giving us money for these things?"

"You lost your money!"

Li Xuewu raised his chin and said: "Money, money, money, you know money, and you don't even think about it. Is it free for me to hire a master to teach? I use materials to let them learn, thinking that they will have a skill after they go out." , don’t you need money?”

"Yes, I have gained something"

Just when Huang Gan wanted to refute, Li Xuewu asked again: "But did I take these things myself? Didn't I raise money for the club? Raise funds?"

Regardless of Huang Gan's expression after speaking, he waved his hands and said, "Don't take money too seriously, you have already earned enough, not only to improve the living environment and treatment of the guards, but also to improve the lives of the detainees." Treatment and management measures".

"What is the best and best management?"

"It's education! It's to let them have the skills to eat after they go out, be a good person, and don't make mistakes again"

Li Xuewu pointed at Huang Gan and said: "If someone came to check and just watched the detainees work, but didn't see their learning and reformation, do you think it's right for you to do so?"

"no……!"

Huang Gan pointed to Li Xuewu and said, "You asked me to do papermaking and printing!"

"Yes!"

Li Xuewu admitted it frankly, but added: "At that time, I didn't expect that you would do such a good job, and I didn't expect that it would attract the attention of the higher authorities. This is not here to give you a solution. Well!"

"What am I..."

Huang Qian was really speechless, he didn't believe that Li Xuewu didn't know what would happen if he did this before, he was really blinded by money, it was really a mouse who was a bridesmaid for a cat, and he wanted money to die.

Why did he believe this bastard's words? The things he made were hard money, and he had to help him with other things.

This help does not give money and does not say, there are a lot of reasons to tell myself that I have to thank him!

"Persuading people to be kind, you are a person with a chance"

Li Xuewu curled his lips and said flickeringly: "I saw you as a kind person at the beginning, but you see that you are now, leading all the staff to engage in production and improving the living standards of all staff, and now you are responding to the call of the document and engaging in learning. Build a small factory."

Having said that, Li Xuewu stood up and patted the upright Huang Gan on the shoulder and said, "Comrade Huang Gan, I am very optimistic about you!"

"Fuck you! I think you are kind!"

Huang Gan was so angry that he swears, stared at Li Xuewu and said, "I want to look after you too!"

"It's a coincidence!"

Li Xuewu spread his hands and said: "Your wooden box for chess is so ugly. Lao Biaozi and the others are building a canning factory. Later, they will build a packaging box factory at the rolling mill. Then I will help you make metal boxes." .

"Really?"

When Huang Gan saw that Li Xuewu wanted to help, the anger on his face dissipated a lot in an instant, and he said, "Actually, mahjong also needs a packing box."

"sure, no problem"

"If only there were metal boxes for poker..."

"The ashes are also suitable for metal, do you want it?"

……

-

"Hey, it's Director Li! Come pick up Gu Ning?"

Li Xuewu was standing next to the security room at the entrance of the hospital, lighting a cigarette, when he heard someone greet him.

He hurriedly shook out the match in his hand, picked up the cigarette in his mouth, and raised his head.

Li Xuewu looked at the female doctor standing in front of him, and said with a smile, "You are Sister Lan, you opened the door to Gu Ning last time."

"Oh, you have a really good memory."

This Sister Lan is the doctor sitting at the desk by the door. She opened the door for Li Xuewu to find Gu Ning the first time and the next few times.

Zhang Xiulan recognized Li Xuewu because of the scar on Li Xuewu's face. When Li Xuewu came to look for Gu Ning, she was the most impressed. Later, people in the department guessed what this young man was doing.

On the day of Gu Ning's wedding, she was on duty, so she didn't go there, but she followed the example of her colleagues who went, good guy, it was scary.

Although the wedding was held in the compound, the ostentation and scene of the wedding did have face. When those colleagues described it, they were both envious and emotional.

The young man who was originally thought to be a small driver turned out to be a deputy director and a fighting hero who came back from the south.

That's not even counting, according to what colleagues inquired from the wedding, this young man is only 20 years old, but his identity is already the deputy director of the security department of the Red Star Rolling Mill, and even the deputy director in charge of public security in Dongcheng.

Colleagues have been discussing and envious since they came back, telling how beautiful Gu Ning was dressed that day and how amazing the guests were.

The key is that most of the guests who came on the wedding day were from the groom's side, and it was said that there were dozens of them at the deputy director level alone.

Zhang Xiulan came back from outside today, and felt that the big man at the door looked familiar from a long distance away.

After seeing the scar on his face, he recognized that Li Xuewu had come, so he greeted him.

Don't talk about snobbery, don't talk about philistines, everyone is like this, don't talk about anyone.

Li Xuewu heard Mu Hongyan talk about the interpersonal relationship in Gu Ning's department, and also heard her talk about these people's guesses about him, but he would not react in any special way.

Gu Ning's personality will not change because of anyone, and he will not be divorced from real life. He only goes home to be a full-time wife, and after all, he has to work and live in the unit.

And the working environment will not change just because he stands out for Gu Ning, or does something to retaliate or show off, and it is more likely to backfire.

These colleagues will only think that he is not easy to get along with, and Gu Ning is not easy to get along with, so they will isolate Gu Ning even more and gossip behind his back.

What Li Xuewu has to do, and must do, is to protect Gu Ning and solve Gu Ning's interpersonal problems at work.

So Li Xuewu was also very enthusiastic when he saw this Sister Lan who took the initiative to say hello.

"Hi, trouble you every time I go"

Li Xuewu smiled and said: "I haven't thanked you for your blessing yet. I am discussing with Gu Ning to see which day is suitable. Please have a meal. This is not a good reception, so I am embarrassed."

"You're welcome~"

Zhang Xiulan saw that Li Xuewu was so good at talking, but she was surprised that Dr. Gu could find such a partner.

I thought that I had to find an ice cube for that cold temper, but I didn't expect that he was a very cheerful young man.

Especially this enthusiasm, as well as the respect and politeness in the words, made her feel extremely comfortable.

"In our unit, with our kind of work, there is no time to rest and get off work on time. Let's wait for another chance."

She only thought of Li Xuewu as being polite, so she said it politely.

But Li Xuewu didn't take this seriously, and said with a smile: "This is impossible, I have prepared everything, just waiting for Gu Ning to get everyone's duty list."

"Okay, then I'll wait~"

Zhang Xiulan saw that it was almost time for shift change, she pointed to the courtyard and said, "I'll take over right away, and your doctor Gu will get off work."

"You are busy"

Li Xuewu waved his hand in greeting when he saw this man entering the courtyard.

When someone walked in, he put the cigarette in his mouth again, but just as he was about to touch the lighter in his pocket, he realized that he had lost the bet on the lighter.

The matches just now were all borrowed from others. If I borrow them again, I will be a bit ashamed.

Picking the cigarette from his mouth again, thinking that Gu Ning would come out soon, he sighed and put the cigarette back into the cigarette case.

"What's your luck here?"

Mu Hongyan pushed the car out at the door and saw Li Xuewu standing at the door. With his big stature and his white and black dressing style, he couldn't imagine not seeing him.

"sister in law"

Li Xuewu greeted him with a grin, raised the cigarette in his hand, and said, "I was thinking about how to quit smoking."

"What's the matter?"

Mu Hongyan looked at Li Xuewu, then at the courtyard, and asked with a smile, "Xiao Ning won't let you smoke?"

"No, I restrained myself"

Li Xuewu put the cigarette into his pocket, and asked with a smile, "Did you get off work early today?"

"be normal"

Mu Hongyan straightened the hair next to her ears and asked, "Why did you think of picking her up today? Show off your affection?"

"Hehe, show love, we made an appointment to see flowers together yesterday"

Li Xuewu smiled lightly and said, "Didn't we plant some flowers in our yard, and I wiped them out with a casual remark. Isn't this an apology?"

"Hey~ Your words are quite powerful."

Mu Hongyan smiled and glanced at Li Xuewu. Seeing his appearance, he knew that the young couple was sweet, so he felt relieved.

"With such a good attitude, it seems that I have apologized a lot, right? I have quite a lot of experience!"

"Hi~ Home and everything are going well!"

Li Xuewu didn't pick up on Mu Hongyan's words. The more he explained, the more confused he became, and the darker the description became, so he just ended the topic and made a turning point.

"By the way, sister-in-law, how is your business going?"

"It's being done, it will take a few days"

Mu Hongyan knew that Li Xuewu had deliberately changed the subject, but she didn't want to pursue this, after all, it was Li Xuewu's previous matter.

Speaking of himself, Mu Hongyan also looked at the hospital behind him with some reluctance, and said, "I can't help it. If it weren't for your elder brother who really couldn't be transferred back, I wouldn't want to be transferred."

"It's okay, your doctor is much better, and the transfer is more flexible."

Li Xuewu comforted: "It's just that Xiao Ning will not be taken care of in the department anymore. I saw their colleagues just now, and I wanted to invite them to dinner. I have a relationship with everyone."

"It should be, although these people have some minor problems, but they are not bad"

Mu Hongyan nodded, and said: "You know Xiaoning's temperament, but she won't be able to cooperate with others. You usually do more work and make her stay more comfortable in the office."

"Don't worry, I'm here"

Seeing that Gu Ning had come out of the building, Li Xuewu smiled at Mu Hongyan and said, "You can go to my house for a while before you leave, or you can go directly to the Chinese Medicine Hospital to find my dad. He will also be transferred soon." .

"understood"

Mu Hongyan knew what Li Xuewu meant, so he agreed with a smile, but he didn't say thank you. If the family wanted to say thank you, it would be a little strange.

When Gu Ning came up to him, Mu Hongyan joked, "I said I always look out of the window when I get off work. How dare I have a date at night!"

"No~!"

Gu Ning came over and pulled her sister-in-law, and explained angrily: "I didn't even tell him to come, but he came instead."

"Hey! Hey! Hey!"

Mu Hongyan motioned to Li Xuewu who was opposite, and said, "Just now you can talk about learning martial arts. It's not here to show affection. Don't let him back down!"

After finishing speaking, he didn't give Gu Ning time to explain, and said to the two with a smile: "Hurry up, I won't waste your time, I'm leaving."

"Ride slowly and be safe"

Li Xuewu saw Mu Hongyan push the car and got into the car after taking two steps, so he hastily warned him.

Mu Hongyan only waved his hand when he was on the main road, indicating that he understood.

Li Xuewu turned his head to look at Gu Ning, but found that she had already got into the car on the side of the road, and there were people who knew her from get off work, and they were still looking this way.

Knowing that Gu Ning had a small face, Li Xuewu said hello to the few people he had seen before jumping into the jeep, and drove towards the direction he was familiar with.

When he was a child, he had the desire to go to the end of the world with a sword, but when he was a child, the alleys were deep and the world was small, so his parents did not allow him to go out of the alleys.

The horse tethering stone earlier at the entrance of the alley was a boundary line. After passing by, my father found out that he must be beaten.

Later, because of other things, he was beaten a lot, and he felt that the horse-binding stone could not hold him anymore, so he crossed that line with his friends.

Anyway, I don't care about it anymore. Li Xuewu only got to know Lao Biaozi and the others after he left the alley.

In the past, I used to play with Yan Jiecheng and the others in the alley. It was he who beat these children so that they dare not play with him, and it was also when he crossed the Shuanma Stone.

Li Xuewu remembered that the capital city was too big when he was a child, and he couldn't get to the edge of the city wall after playing for several years.

The place where I play the most is the big garden near the Academy of Drama. It used to be the back garden of a wealthy family, and later it became the Great Wilderness Garden. I used to go there to catch bugs in the summer.

Some worms catch well and can be sold for money, and there are those who come out on bicycles to collect them, but they don't give much.

Of course, Li Xuewu never met a little girl who would ask "Are you here to shit?" in the barren yard over there. If he did, he would definitely beat her to tears!
There are everything in the barren yard, all kinds of bugs, those that bite people, those that don't bite people, those that can eat and those that can't, I can't recognize them all now.

But there are not many who can really sell money, there are only three kinds, and they are all "brothers".

Crickets, grasshoppers, oil gourds.

Remember, these three brothers are not all brothers, one is an uncle brother.

The division of animals and plants in nature from high to low is: kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species.

Both crickets and oil gourds belong to the Orthoptera cricket family, so they can be regarded as brothers.

Cricket is a common name for crickets, and it refers to crickets used for fighting.

The oil gourd is the largest in the cricket family, and it is generally only used for listening to the chirping sound, not for fighting.

Grasshoppers belong to the genus Katydida of the order Orthoptera, because they are not in the same family as the above two, so it can only be said by uncles and brothers.

Grasshoppers are larger, and they are also used to listen to their chirps. In the Northeast, they are called three donkeys.

Li Xuewu's popsicles were basically scavenged from that garden when he was a child, but he didn't do it later because he was so panicked.

Catch grasshoppers in the heat of the day, catch crickets in the middle of the night for five days, and it took a long time to sell a popsicle for money.

When he went to his grandpa's house for the first time and learned the craft of weaving grasshopper cages from his grandma, Li Xuewu knew the value of the packaging.

In the second year, Li Xuewu weaved the grasshopper cages by himself, caught the grasshoppers and put them in the cages and sold them.

Of course, there is also his carefulness here. Crickets cannot be sold in cages, they must be placed in porcelain jars, and they must be kept in a comfortable and dark environment.

So Li Xuewu ran for a long time with that peddler, only then did he know that there is a flower, bird, fish and insect market far away from home, selling second-hand goods and these gadgets.

Don't look at the ruins of the capital back then, but the foundation is still there. At that time, there were still many people wearing long robes and jackets on the streets.

There are also those who are old and young, those who used to eat hardcore crops still like these.

Of course, what I like is not as strong as it was back then, and what I play is not as crazy as it was back then, it's just a pastime.

This pastime is spent on small money, grasshoppers and oil gourds are sweet, young people and children like it.

People at that time liked to put the grasshopper cage in their sleeves, and they played with it when they were walking, sleeping, or meeting friends for tea.

Crickets are equipped with special toys, such as ceramic ones and gourd ones. When fighting crickets, they will be released from the small bottle and fight in a special "colosseum". Look at this thing.

Not to mention, the invincible Iron Armored Jiang Jun, Black Tai Sui, Red Robe Great Sage, etc. that Li Xuewu sold back then were not too many.

Later, the yard was turned over and it was impossible to find a good one, so Li Xuewu took his friends out of the city to look for it.

At that time, it was said that Sujiatuo's "Videer Cricket" and Fushouling's "Qingmatou" were the best, but these two places were too far away, and Li Xuewu's range of activities at most was just past the moat.

There are many graveyards beyond the moat, and it is a must to catch crickets in the graveyards at night.

The crickets in the cemetery are particularly black and fierce, they look good and the price is high.

Although the "place of origin" is a bit gloomy, Li Xuewu learned how to package it from his grandmother, and also learned what it means to be flickering from a hawker.

Because the crickets that the hawkers collect from them are said to be from Sujiatuo when they arrive at the market, and Li Xuewu also does the same. If he catches them, he will see which side he can lean on. .

Lao Biaozi and the others also began to believe in Li Xuewu at that time, knowing that they would eat popsicles with their eldest brother.

Li Xuewu also learned at that time that unity is strength and sharing is gain.

Sneaking out of the house in the middle of the night, running so far to catch crickets, he was a little timid by himself.

But five or six children will not be afraid if they go together. Those who have a flashlight will bring a flashlight, and those who do not have a flashlight will bring a lantern.

The crickets have been caught, and the courage has grown, but I don't know how many pedestrians passing by the graveyard have been frightened.

When Li Xuewu was driving and telling Gu Ning about these things when he was a child, he had arrived at the flea market before he knew it.

"You were really good when you were young~"

Seeing Li Xuewu pull over the car, Gu Ning couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

But Li Xuewu pulled out the car key and said with a smile: "What's the matter, I'll tell you the story of us falling asleep in the cemetery in the evening."

Gu Ning knew that Li Xuewu was trying to scare herself, but would she still be afraid of this?
"Is there a good story about the mortuary?"

"Forehead……"

Li Xuewu also forgot that his daughter-in-law is also a master who doesn't talk too much.

"You are a ruthless person~"

"Pfft~"

The two looked at each other and smiled, got out of the car, and followed the flow of people to the flea market.

It hasn't changed much here, except that people dress better and their mental state improves.

The old things sold on both sides of the road are still those old things that are reluctant to throw away the consignment store, or the rags that the consignment store does not accept.

So some people here also call it a tattered city.

Water vats, kang mats, stoves, jars, pots, old rice bowls, anyway, there are all kinds of groceries for daily use, only what you can't think of, and there is nothing that can't be bought here.

There are also some artisans here who secretly come here to set up stalls after get off work. They only display a few things without knowing it, just like selling second-hand goods. In fact, they are craftsmen.

For example, those who repair pens, twist faces, curium pots and bowls, sharpen scissors with knives, shave heads, mend pots, pop cotton, repair shoes, and engrave with small chisels.

Gu Ning seems to be Grandma Liu who has entered the Grand View Garden. She has never been to such a place before.

It is narrow and cramped, and the roads are not so clean and level. The people here are also the most ordinary people in the Forty-Nine City, and they are also the group of people whose lives are the most difficult.

Although the clothes of Li Xuewu and Gu Ning are not the most conspicuous, they are still very prominent. Some people will look at them with blank or puzzled eyes.

Li Xuewu and Gu Ning were both big-hearted and contented, and didn't care about these gazes.

Walking along the second-hand stalls, but did not buy anything, Gu Ning felt much happier.

Maybe it's the awakening of the woman's innate gift for shopping, or maybe it's because the time with Li Xuewu is good, anyway, Li Xuewu thinks Gu Ning is very happy.

After passing through the long alley, the two finally saw the area of ​​flowers, birds, fish and insects.

It is more lively here, and there are a lot fewer people. After all, at this time, there are not so many people who can play games, and there are even fewer people who raise flowers and walk birds.

On the contrary, the clothes of Li Xuewu and Li Xuewu don't show much here, and many people here are dressed more neatly.

"This is canna, this is cockscomb, nail grass, passion fruit..."

Gu Ning introduced pots of flowers and plants to Li Xuewu, and Li Xuewu also nodded and looked at the price.

The flowers and plants here are common and common, which is what Zhou Yamei and Gu Ning planted in the yard at home.

However, it is better to plant these flowers in front of the house and behind the house, but there must be a place to do it. It seems that Li Xuewu who lives in a villa is of course successful, but those who live in a courtyard are not, and potted flowers must be planted.

Therefore, although what Li Xuewu sees now are ordinary flowers, they still have a market, and because they are cheap, they are more popular.

"Hey, there are also tulips and carnations here."

Li Xuewu's eyes are also thieves, and with one glance, he killed the flowers at the door of a shop.

It is not easy to see these flowers here, both of which are foreign flowers.

There have been flower shops in Sijiu City for a long time, and there were as many as 27 in [-], and they were all returned to the public in [-] or [-] years.

The former two worlds of Chongwenmen and Wanshun Flower Factory have merged into one. It is called the No. [-] Store of Flowers and Trees in Beijing, and now it is called Chongwenmen Flower Shop, which exclusively sells this kind of foreign flowers.

Gu Ning also likes this stuff, but he just stood by the side of the flower pot and looked at it for a while, then dragged Li Xuewu inside.

"Wait to come back and buy again"

"Good~"

Gu Ning's answering voice was a little sweet, and Li Xuewu couldn't help laughing.

Sometimes I don't say it, but when you say it, I will agree.

Li Xuewu is also a veteran of flowers. He can't recognize all the flowers on both sides of this alley, but he still knows a little better than Huajiao's flowers.

The gardenias and jasmines that I saw later were relatively high-end. The gardenia flowers are white and fragrant, and everyone loves them. When the jasmine is in full bloom, the fragrance of the flowers will waft far away.

"Buy some pots of jasmine"

Li Xuewu sniffed it carefully, and suggested to Gu Ning: "Put two pots upstairs and two pots downstairs."

"Okay, gardenias are also fragrant"

Gu Ning pursed his lips and nodded, but after agreeing, he mentioned that he also wanted gardenias.

Li Xuewu said with a smile: "That's also bought."

After the two finished talking, they walked forward, planning to see all the flowers in this alley.

But the shopkeeper who saw the visitors clearly heard that the two wanted to buy, but when he came out, he found that the person had left, so he went back muttering.

Flowers, birds, fish and insects are big categories, so once you pass the flower area, you will be selling birds.

The boundary between the two areas is not obvious, because many flower pots are hung with birdcages when walking.

"Is this a thrush?"
