Lucky husband

Li Chengzhi, who was busy greeting the guests, raised his head to look over to Bai Xiuhe and saw his father grabbing the noodle seller next door.

He successfully caught the man, and saw all the customers sitting in the booth looking over. The anger that the old man had accumulated all morning burst out in an instant. Said: "This man stuffed the apron into the pot of waste charcoal. If I don't come over, you won't even know that your stall has been burned!"

Old man Li, who has been working in the fields all year round, doesn't say anything else, his strength is not small, and his voice is naturally not small when he is anxious. His roar immediately focused the eyes of everyone nearby, and they all gathered together. Staring at the two of them.

The noodle seller at the stall next door was still holding a corner of the apron, and this scene was naturally seen by everyone, whether it was the customers waiting to eat rice noodles at the rice noodle stall, or the bosses and guests of nearby stalls.

At this quiet moment, Bai Xiuhe stared at the position and inexplicably moved a lot of cans, and said strangely: "I put the canister for waste charcoal next to the trolley, why did I run over?"

She really didn't understand why the long legs of her own pot moved so far, but the others changed their minds after hearing her words, and seeing the flustered look of the stall owner next to him, they guessed what was going on In my heart, I thought silently that the owner of the rice noodle stall did not show her face. This sentence further confirmed the intention of the owner of the noodle stall next door to light the fire.

The noodle seller next door panicked at this moment. He knew that there was a relationship with the county government at the rice noodle stall. She would be beaten with a board and even sent to a prison for a few days.

Some people become calmer the more panicked they are. Unfortunately, the owner of the noodle stall is not like that. He threw away the apron that he was clutching in his hand, and shouted at old man Li: "You hold my hand and squeeze it into my hand." What does Li Sai do with this cloth, it’s greasy and disgusting, I have to make noodles later, if my guest eats it badly, can you, an old man, afford it?”

"I didn't put a cloth on your hand, it's obvious that you want to put the cloth in a jar and light it!" Old man Li was startled by this slap in the face, his eyes widened instantly, and he cursed back aggressively.

Obviously he wanted to light the fire, and he also planned to push the bamboo poles on the apron so that the guests who ate rice noodles would be burned!

But old man Li couldn't say these words, because those were all Li Mingjin's dreams, and they didn't happen right now.

"It's reasonable not to speak loudly, you are guilty of yelling so loudly!" The noodle seller next door seemed to gain confidence after saying this, he asked old man Li to let him go, and said that old man Li must have colluded with others to deliberately harm him .

Listening to the noodle seller confuse black and white over there, one of the customers who often come to eat rice noodles asked loudly: "Then why did the proprietress move the pot of waste charcoal for no reason?"

Because they often come here to eat, they will look familiar every day. They have some impressions of what is on the rice noodle stall and where they are usually placed. They vaguely remember that Bai Xiuhe always put the jars next to the trolley.

The first person brought it up, and the rest of the people also talked in a hurry, and they all looked at the flustered noodle stall owner a little bit badly, they were still at the rice noodle stall, this person set fire to the rice noodle stall Not trying to harm them.

Seeing that others were helping Bai Zhiwen and the others, the noodle seller panicked even more, and immediately changed his explanation: "I just wanted to reach out to help open it just now when I saw that the apron was about to float into the jar. As a donkey liver and lung, I, why am I so wronged!"

This is simply to treat everyone present as fools. Just now you said that the apron was forced into your hands by an old man, but then it turned out that you took the initiative to pick up the apron, just to prevent the apron from catching fire. , what are you kidding?

Everyone has eyes and brains, and the action of old man Li when he grabbed him just now, and his demeanor in everyone's eyes, are enough to explain what the real situation is like.

At this time, Li Chengshi was standing outside the crowd. He had been thinking about his family after hearing what his colleagues told him just now. It's okay, it just happened to happen that there was a commotion here.

Li Chengshi looked around for a while and didn't say a word. He already had a guess in his heart. There should be no accident at home. The accident was the rice noodle stall. Brother Jin had a dream about the rice noodle stall. to rush over.

Otherwise, his mother wouldn't make his father make a special trip to the county town just to get the thin jacket that big brother and the others brought over tomorrow, and just happened to catch someone trying to burn the rice noodle stall.

After roughly guessing what was going on, Li Chengshi was not in a hurry. He hid behind the crowd and watched the noodle seller talking nonsense. Anyway, the bad things in Brother Jin's dream didn't happen. At this moment, whether the noodle seller recognizes him or not just now What they do will not have any impact on their stalls.

On the contrary, if he stood up, he might indeed be able to bluff the noodle seller to tell the truth, but it is more likely to leave an impression in everyone's minds that the rice noodle stall is bullying others, and even further suspect that the noodle seller was frightened and forced to admit.

Li Chengzhi didn't see Li Chengshi at the outermost edge of the crowd at the moment, but his thoughts had something in common with Li Chengshi's.

Just now his father did grab the selling noodle's hand, and at that moment the selling noodle's hand was indeed pinching his own apron, as if he wanted to stuff it into the jar.

But what everyone saw was only this scene. No one saw or knew what he was doing in front of him or what was going on behind him. When you are hungry and want to have lunch, instead of wasting time on this matter, it is better to make two more deals.

Thinking in this way, Li Chengzhi organized his words to appease his father, and then had a few words with him around to watch the fun, and then asked his wife and cousin to continue making rice noodles to greet the guests.

Li Chengzhi's words were more interesting. He first said that his father might have read it wrong, and that the noodle seller wanted to help them roll up the cloth so that it wouldn't fall into the jar. Then he said that his daughter-in-law was careless and put the jar in the Under the apron, thank you for the help of the seller.

On the surface, he is thanking the noodles, but in fact, he is reminding everyone that after a little thought, you can taste some good things. Old man Li is right, let alone mentioning it, Bai Xiuhe should not be so confused that there is still The charcoal-burning jars are placed under the fabric, so most people look at the noodles differently.

Old man Li was a real-hearted man. He didn't understand Li Chengzhi's meaning at first, but thinking that his son still had to do business, he reluctantly let go of the noodle seller, and gave him a hard look.

After a while, he figured out a little bit of meaning, and then looked at the eyes of the customers and other stall owners, his heart became brighter, and his anger finally subsided a little.

Let him make a bad idea. From now on, everyone around here will know what kind of person he is. If there is something wrong with any stall here, everyone will be the first to suspect him. Let's see how he has the face to continue Do business here!

Old man Li didn't know how to do the work at the rice noodle stall. He stood by and could only get in the way. Seeing the matter was resolved, his son and daughter-in-law continued to be busy around. After drinking up the pot of tea, I carried the basket on my back and went back to the village.

Because of the rice noodle stall, Jiang Zhiyun was not in the mood to teach the two children in the second room how to embroider in the morning, so she said that she was not feeling well and asked the two sisters to go home and do embroidery by themselves.

Mrs. Li was in the same mood as Jiang Zhiyun at the moment. The two of them waited anxiously at home, and they didn't bother to cook the lunch. They reheated the leftover porridge and pancakes in the morning, and let the children in the family eat some Stomach pad.

At the end of noon, old man Li finally came back with a basket on his back. Seeing his relaxed appearance, he didn't need to tell Mrs. Li and Jiang Zhiyun that the matter must be resolved.

The old man Li stepped into the courtyard gate and put it down, and said to the anxious old lady Li: "I seized the opportunity and rushed over to grab the noodle seller. Bu, he also said that our family colluded to punish him, but everyone saw that he had problems, no one would believe what he said, and the boss asked me to let him go without saying a few words..."

Old Madam Li raised her eyebrows when she heard this: "How could he be let go so easily? He wants to set fire to our stall, so he should be sent to the county government to beat him up, and he'd better be locked up in a prison for a few more days."

On the way back to the village, old man Li thought about and analyzed today's incident carefully, and quickly explained to old lady Li: "Didn't our stall not catch fire? Even if the noodle seller is sent to the county government, let alone locked up in prison." , even playing the board should not be there.”

Jiang Zhiyun brought out a bowl of warm water from the kitchen and handed it to old man Li, and said softly to old lady Li: "Father is right, if he really lit the fire, we will catch him on the spot and send him to the county. The Yamen will definitely let the magistrate judge him to beat him."

"But the matter has not been done yet. If it is really sent to the county government, other people may think that we are being unreasonable, or even bullying others. At that time, the reputation of our rice noodle stall will be damaged instead."

"Now doing this can teach the noodle seller a lesson. People nearby know what kind of person he is, and they will definitely stay away from him. When the customers go back and spread the word, his reputation will follow. gone."

"Actually, I heard from my sister-in-law before that the craftsmanship of the noodle seller is mediocre. If the reputation is not good, he probably needs to change places to continue selling noodle stalls."

Jiang Zhiyun's analysis was similar to what old man Li thought of. He nodded: "Yes, I think the boss should think the same way."

Mrs. Li was still very dissatisfied when she heard this: "He is a black-hearted thing. I can't make money because I can't make money, so I just want to harm other people's stalls. If I go to the county today, my old lady, I have to blow up his noodle stall. Just vent your anger."

Jiang Zhiyun smiled, took back the empty bowl in Old Man Li's hand and went back to the kitchen to prepare the cooking, and left the still angry old lady Li to Old Man Li to comfort her.

The old man Li's way of comforting his old wife is very simple, that is, he doesn't say anything, and just wait until she gets angry. The two of them have been together for so many years.

Mrs. Li understands the truth, she is just angry but her mouth is majestic. If she is really in the county, she will still take her son's opinion as the main point, and when she smashes other people's stalls, she will become unreasonable. Reasonable, maybe he will be bitten back, which is not worthwhile.
