Chronological cannon fodder is reborn
Chapter 67
After Chi Chi and Cheng Changye told the educated youth about it, they didn't pay attention to it again. When the spring was warm and the flowers bloomed, Chi Chi's letter was sent to Shanghai immediately.
Papa Chi was carefully accompanying him at home. Zhong Jianjun lost his temper more and more since he was freed from the army, and now he can reluctantly accept Papa Chi.
As soon as Mother Chi entered the door with the letter, Zhong Jianjun sat on the sofa and couldn't wait to say, "Quick, let me see the letter from my precious grandson."
Chi's mother hurriedly opened the letter and handed it to him. Zhong Jianjun looked at it, his hand holding the crutch became tighter and tighter, and knocked on the ground a few times.
Papa Chi glanced at the ground thoughtfully. Fortunately, they lived on the first floor, otherwise the downstairs would have to come up and knock on the door.
Papa Chi was still in a daze, and Zhong Jianjun slapped the letter on his body, "Look, look, you guys, my precious grandson is being bullied by your adopted son's brother!"
Zhong Jianjun hated iron for being weak and said, "I've said it all, you don't have much knowledge of people, but you still need sex, let's do it now!"
Chi's father and Chi's mother sat in a row opposite Zhong Jianjun, being scolded like two elementary school students.
Li Lan came over with a plate of oranges, and glared at him, "Okay, how old are you, and you still keep training."
Papa Chi picked up the letter and Mama Chi took a look, "Well, we don't know about this."
Zhong Jianjun snorted coldly, and Papa Chi squeezed the letter paper tightly, "Dad, I will handle this matter properly, don't worry."
"However, why does Xiao Chi want the old textbooks?" Papa Chi was a little puzzled. It is said that Chi Chi's grades have always been good, and he has finished high school. He is not a person who likes to study, so why did he suddenly want to give him books send it over.
Zhong Jianjun immediately raised his eyebrows and turned up his volume, "My grandson likes to study, what's wrong?"
"Pack up your books quickly." Zhong Jianjun kicked Papa Chi vigorously, and then said, "By the way, send some money to my grandson, so that the child will not suffer in the countryside."
Chi's father hurriedly responded, and Chi's mother couldn't stand the old father's nagging, so they ran home together.
"Chi Chi, Chi Chi!" Wei Hui held the fabric in her hands and yelled repeatedly, while the girl with braids next to her asked in a low voice, "Xiaohui, does that person really live here? I can't find it, why don't we go back!"
Wei Hui took her arm, "Oh, didn't you also see the clothes he made for my sister-in-law last time, you don't want it anymore?"
Zheng Minmin bit her lower lip hesitantly, and finally made up her mind, "Then, let's look for it again, but we have to go home after dark, otherwise my grandma will be worried."
Wei Hui couldn't help but sighed, "How old are you, you're finally back, why is your grandma still controlling you so strictly?"
Just as Zheng Minmin was about to say something, she watched an old woman sneaking towards someone's yard in front of her.
Zheng Minmin hurriedly tugged on Wei Hui's sleeve, and asked in a low voice, "Xiaohui, didn't we run into a thief?" It was because that person acted too sneakily, and he didn't look like a good person.
Wei Hui had the guts to call out, "What are you doing?" Niu Erni rolled her eyes, her whole body stiffened, and ran away without even thinking about it, not caring about things falling out of her pocket.
Wei Hui still wanted to catch up, but Zheng Minmin hurriedly stopped him, "Don't chase, don't chase, what if there are accomplices."
Wei Hui then stopped, walked into the yard and knocked on the door, "Is anyone there? Your house just recruited thieves, is anyone there?"
Chi Chi was sleeping in a daze, and when he heard someone knock on the door, he got out of bed with his back, "Here we come." Cheng Changye went out early, and he didn't know what he was busy with these two days, Chi Chi murmured in his heart, Cheng Changye has become more and more beastly recently, and he must not be allowed to go to bed today.
Chi Chi opened the door and looked at Wei Hui in surprise, "Why are you?" The snow had only cleared in the past two days, and he thought that it was probably impossible for Wei Hui to come, but he didn't expect to come here today.
Wei Hui was pleasantly surprised when she looked at him. Who would have thought that they just happened to meet someone they hadn't found after so many rounds.
Wei Hui was still holding the fabric in her arms, and before handing it to Chi Chi, she quickly remembered something and said hastily, "By the way, someone was sneaking around in your yard just now."
Zheng Minmin next to him also nodded, reached out and handed the paper bag he had just picked up from the ground to Chi Chi, "It fell out of her pocket, it's an elderly woman."
Chi Chi took the paper bag, and there was a strong smell of medicine, which was not very serious. Chi Chi was stunned for a moment, and hurried to the yard.
The sun has been out these two days, Cheng Changye built a chicken coop in the yard, and kept the three chicks outside. Chi Chi looked at the chick that bit him and was still standing proudly in the yard Only after strolling did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing that nothing was wrong, Wei Hui said, "By the way, I brought my good sister to come to you to make clothes together."
Chi Chi hurriedly led the two of them into the room where the sewing machines were kept, "I thought you weren't coming?"
Wei Hui dragged someone into the house, pouted and complained, "What's more, some people asked me to look for him, but in the end, I couldn't even tell where I was, which made us search around several times."
Chi Chi poured water for them and rubbed his head, "I forgot, so today's clothes are considered cheap for you, it's okay."
Zheng Minmin smiled and watched the two of them joke, Wei Hui said and tugged at her sleeve, "By the way, this is my good friend, Zheng Minmin, she is from our county art troupe, hurry up and make her a beautiful dress, there must be something for her." But many people come to you to make clothes."
Chi Chi's eyes lit up, and he quickly replied, "Okay, what kind of clothes do you want, I'll design them for you."
Chi Chi was overjoyed. Zheng Minmin was beautiful. If such a good-looking person wore his clothes, many people would definitely notice him. This way he could earn more, and Cheng Changye would not have to go out early and late every day.
Zheng Minmin was a little shy, lowered her head slightly and said in a low voice, "I want to make a shirt like Sister Manman's."
Cheng Man's shirt was too wide at the beginning, and she didn't show her figure at all. Chi Chi helped to change it, and it was different immediately. Zheng Minmin also wanted to change it by herself, but she couldn't change it, so she came with Wei Hui It's too late to find a pool.
Chi Chi nodded, "No problem." He turned his head and looked at Wei Hui again, "Do you still want the woolen coat?"
Wei Hui piled up the fabrics on the table, "Of course, I've bought all the fabrics, and I'm just waiting for you to make them."
"Okay!" Chi Chi responded one by one, and said in embarrassment, "By the way, can you help me find the village head together." Chi Chi held the paper bag in his hand, "There is such a thing, I am quite worried, can you help me to give a certificate?"
"What's the matter." Wei Hui dragged Zheng Minmin to answer, and now he dragged Chi Chi to find the village chief, "Minmin's family is strictly controlled, let's finish it early, and we'll go back early."
Niu Erni went home in a panic all the way, the place they lived in was not a home anymore, it was dilapidated, and it was a place that Cheng Changming forced them to vacate with the money he had given the Niu family over the years.
Since they moved here, Cheng Changchu has been running around all day long, and Niu Erni has no energy to take care of him anymore. Seeing him come back, Cheng Changming looked at Niu Erni nervously, "What, you put the things in there?" ?"
Niu Erni supported her waist, bent her body, and didn't care about the dirt on her pants. She ran too fast just now and fell down. Who would have thought that Cheng Changming didn't say a word of concern.
"What's going on?" Cheng Changming's eyes were bloodshot, his temper was getting worse and worse, Niu Erni flinched, "No, I ran back quickly when I was seen."
Cheng Changming kicked Niu Erni to the ground viciously, "What good do I want you for, I dare you to do such a trivial thing, why are you still alive?"
Niu Erni shrank and held her head. She was used to Cheng Changming's beating and scolding from time to time, so she stood next to each other in silence.She didn't know that Chi Chi and the others had already gone to the village chief, planning to find her out.
Cheng Changye came to the county town to deliver the ordered furniture, and he came to look for textbooks along the way, but he couldn't find it after looking around for several times. Cheng Changye was about to go to the recycling station to have a look, when he heard the sound of beating and scolding in the alley.
"You bastards, what use are you for!" Several people with scars on their faces viciously kicked the few people lying on the ground, their hands seemed to be very black.
Cheng Changye glanced around and saw that the person on the ground was Zhou Xiaomei from that day. He was just about to help, but Zhou Xiaomei obviously saw him too, blinked her eyes quickly, and signaled him not to move.
The group beat them for a while, but they didn't see a few of them fighting back, so they spat boringly and left.
Only then did Cheng Changye go up to help Zhou Xiaomei up, and several other younger brothers helped each other to stand up, Zhou Xiaomei's legs were trembling, and Cheng Changye asked, "Why didn't you fight back?"
Those people seemed to be strong, but Zhou Xiaomei didn't look like a bully, not to mention his little brothers, how could they be pushed to the ground and beaten.
Zhou Xiaomei let him support her, and the short man next to her said indignantly, "If it wasn't for not being able to get involved with them, how could I have endured this beating today."
Cheng Changye frowned, and the short man went on to say, "My elder brother is so powerful, if it wasn't for us, he could knock down the three of them with one punch, how could we make them arrogant!"
Seeing the short man waving his fists and yelling whoops, Cheng Changye sighed, there are such a group of younger brothers, alas...
"Okay, let's go to the health center first, we have to apply some medicine." Cheng Changye helped Zhou Xiaomei to leave, but Zhou Xiaomei stopped and said awkwardly, "We don't have any money."
"I'll go." Cheng Changye called the others to walk together, thinking it was because they helped Cheng Lan beat Niu Erni that day.
Several people yelled together in the clinic, Zhou Xiaomei was grateful to Cheng Changye, and explained the matter clearly before anyone asked.
Zhou Xiaomei took out a crumpled cigarette from her pocket, smoked and said, "The group of grandchildren today are the ones who lent money to Cheng Changming."
Cheng Changye nodded inwardly. Sure enough, with Zhou Xiaomei and her group of people, they couldn't do a job like lending usury that required money and life.
Zhou Xiaomei was silent for a while in the smoke, and then said, "Brother, thank you today, I will tell you the truth, we brothers just do some small work of reselling things, how can we let those people keep an eye on you?" Well, the rules in the black market, we have to pay them protection fees for doing business, we really can’t afford it, and we can’t do business, and they are forcing us to collect debts.”
Zhou Xiaomei sighed, "This time we didn't get any money back, so we just took the bedding and so on." He smiled wryly, "Fortunately, they think we are useless, and they probably won't come to us in the future. gone."
Cheng Changye was silent for a while. He also wanted to find some work in the black market, but he didn't expect the black market to be so deep. He continued, "Aren't you going to do something serious?"
The short man said, "We also think about it. It's not that it's not easy to take any jobs now. Besides, the jobs in the factory are so tight now, how can we get a few of us."
Then he looked at Xiaomei Zhou winkingly, "But if our eldest brother wants to find a job, it's not difficult, just ask our sister-in-law!"
Zhou Xiaomei took the pillow and threw it at it, her tone immediately became serious, "What nonsense are you talking about, don't ruin the reputation of other girls."
Cheng Changye didn't say anything, Wu Yu held his head, "Brother, why are you beating me up, sister-in-law's family is so powerful, you just ask her to help you."
Zhou Xiaomei's face turned cold, "Ms. Ren can't even live a good life with me. I have to trouble others. Why should I be with them? Don't talk about it in the future."
Zhou Xiaomei softened her tone and looked at Cheng Changye, "Brother, thank you for today, don't worry, I will definitely pay you back the medical expenses in the future."
Cheng Changye nodded silently and did not speak. What Zhou Xiaomei said just now undoubtedly gave him a nod. What kind of life was Chi Chi before he was with him, let alone in Shanghai, since he just went to the countryside, He bought a bicycle worth more than 100 yuan when he said he would buy it, and it can be seen that he has lived without money since he was a child.
But after being with him, he has never seen Chi Chi buy anything here, let alone the box containing the money he saw two days ago, and the money he gave in it was almost untouched, Cheng Changye was at a loss look at the sky.
Chi Chi was dragging Wei Hui and the others to the village chief's house, and Cheng Erfu was wondering why Chi Chi was here because it's not a festival.
Chi Chi greeted obediently without procrastinating, and immediately said, "Uncle Erfu, I came to see you for something."
"A thief came to our house today, and my friend found it. The thief dropped this in his arms. It doesn't look right." Chi Chi said as he handed the paper bag to Cheng Erfu from his arms. After Liang's marriage, Cheng Erfu's attitude towards Chi Chi obviously improved a lot.
Cheng Erfu took the paper bag with a frown and looked at Chi Chi, "Well, let's go to the health center to see Dr. Cui first."
Speaking of which, Cheng Erfu looked at Wei Hui and the others, "Is it the thief you saw?"
Wei Hui nodded, "Yes, the thief sneaked into the yard of Chi Chi's house. As soon as we yelled, the thief ran away. By the way, it was a woman who looked about 50 or [-] years old. gone."
Cheng Erfu pondered, this matter is not trivial, if this thing is a bit poisonous, it will be a big deal.
Zheng Minmin saw Cheng Erfu's hesitation, and then said, "I still remember that thief's face, and I can recognize him."
Cheng Erfu nodded, "It's very cold, and not many people go out. If it's really a thief, Chi Chi can't come here alone at this moment. In this way, it happens that today I have to recruit people to build the school together. I'll send them Look for them all, and see if they are from the village."
Zheng Minmin nodded. When Cheng Changye came back, everyone in the village was summoned to the drying yard. Cheng Erfu stood on the platform to mobilize, "Our village is finally going to build a school now. While there is no farm work during this period, let's see If anyone in the village is willing to do it, our village will pay for it in cash."
At first, everyone was not very happy, but in this cold weather, when they heard that the money was settled, they immediately regained their energy and hurriedly raised their hands to sign up.
When Cheng Changye came, he was looking at Chi Chi and Wei Hui standing together, and his heart tightened inexplicably. Just now, he thought that Chi Chi had suffered with him, but now he saw Chi Chi chatting and laughing with others Yes, he felt that it was too late to tidy up tonight.
Cheng Changye was still thinking about something, Chi Chi saw him coming back, greeted Wei Hui, and rushed straight to Cheng Changye, "I'm back so early today!"
Cheng Changye nodded, and Chi Chi continued, "Let me tell you, a thief came to the house today. Fortunately, Xiaohui and the others came, otherwise I wouldn't know."
Cheng Changye looked at him worriedly, "Then you are all right."
"Of course I'm fine!" Chi Chi looked at him with his chin raised, and suddenly looked at him with a blushing face, and lowered his voice to his ear, "It's all your fault last night...otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep until noon. "
Chi Chi acted softly in front of him, and Cheng Changye's heart melted. Taking advantage of no one's attention, Chi Chi quietly raised his little finger, "It's been a hard day today, are you exhausted?"
Cheng Changye smiled and squeezed his fingertips, imitating his tone, "It's not hard."
After thinking about it, Cheng Changye still asked, "Why haven't you touched the money in the box?"
Chi Chi tilted his head, "We have to save money." Cheng Changye's Adam's apple rolled, and his voice was hoarse, "You don't have to..."
"Why not." Chi Chi looked around, took Cheng Changye's hand and touched his stomach, "We must not save money for our little treasure."
After Chi Chi finished speaking, he laughed, and the inexplicable point in Cheng Changye's heart disappeared, "Buy whatever you want, and I can afford to support you."
"It seems that I didn't work hard enough, otherwise you would have met Xiao Xiaobao earlier." Cheng Changye looked at him with a smile on his lips.
Chi Chi suddenly didn't dare to speak.
Niu Erni was mixed in the crowd. After Cheng Changming finished beating her, she went back to the house to sleep. Seeing that she was looking for someone to build a school and could still pay in cash, she squeezed from the crowd to the front row without thinking, shouting, "I me!"
When Cheng Guangtian was here, he also organized this kind of work, and some people followed suit, and he could get paid even if he didn't work. She couldn't miss such a good thing.
The crowd was so chaotic, Zheng Minmin was a little anxious. Originally, she promised to help identify people. Who would have thought that there were so many people. She bit her lower lip, and she might not be able to recognize them now.
Who would have thought that Niu Erni was squeezed straight in the front row, Zheng Minmin's eyes lit up, he tugged at Wei Hui's sleeve, and whispered, "That's her." As he spoke, he pointed his eyes in Niu Erni's direction.
Wei Hui immediately walked up to Cheng Erfu and told him that Zheng Minmin had recognized the thief. Niu Erni was crowded in the front row, and the voice sounded familiar. Seeing that the unknown girl kept looking at her, she immediately felt that No, I just want to squeeze back.
But there were too many people, and they all pushed forward, Cheng Erfu snorted coldly, and it was Niu Erni again, who didn't even give face, and said directly, "Niu Erni, what are you doing at Cheng Changye's house today!"
The crowd was quiet for a while, and then began to discuss in a rambling manner. Chi Chi and Cheng Changye stood together, never expecting that the thief he thought was actually Niu Erni.
Niu Erni kept silent, she didn't expect to be recognized by others, Niu Erni rolled her eyes and opened her mouth to howl.
Cheng Erfu was used to her going crazy from time to time, and ignored her. Dr. Cui was also called over, took the paper bag and carefully identified it, and asked Cheng Erfu with a frown, "Village Chief, where did this come from? It’s poisonous, it’s terrible if you eat it.”
Dr. Cui didn't avoid people when he spoke, most of the villagers heard it, Cheng Changye frowned immediately, and pulled Chi Chi to look carefully, "What's the matter, what's the matter with that thing, it belongs to Niu Erni? Are you OK?"
As Cheng Changye said, he dragged Chi Chi around in a circle, let Chi Chi poke out his eyes, nose, ears, and even his tongue to have a look, "Are you all right, is there any discomfort?"
Cheng Changye was anxious, "Forget it, I'll take you to the county hospital."
Chi Chi's wrist was pulled, and he hurriedly said, "I'm fine, I found that thing in the yard."
Chi Chi repeatedly assured that he never ate anything he shouldn't eat. Looking at Cheng Changye's frowning eyebrows, he reached out and touched it, "I'm not a child anymore, can I still pick up things on the ground to eat?"
Cheng Changye was finally relieved. When Niu Erni heard Dr. Cui's words, she hurriedly took out her pockets. How could they have picked up the thing.
"Tsk, this Niu Erni is really ruthless, I'm afraid she's killing her!"
"It's not enough to train her for so many years. Really, none of the sons she gave birth to is good."
"If it weren't for that, retribution!"
Cheng Erfu didn't expect Niu Erni to be so capable of being a monster, and dare to poison others, so he asked harshly, "Niu Erni, tell me, what are you doing?"
Niu Erni was shivering in the crowd, her body was soaked in sweat from the wound that Cheng Changming had beaten, causing her to tremble in pain.
"I, I, where did I come from poisonous mice, to poisonous mice!" Niu Erni's mind was spinning rapidly, and then she spoke confidently, "What's the matter, besides, is it okay for me to pass someone's yard?"
"They haven't lost anything at home." Niu Erni looked at Cheng Erfu triumphantly, and now she has nothing to say.
Chi Chi held his breath in his heart. He didn't believe that Niu Erni was used to poison mice. Niu Erni obviously wanted to harm them.
Cheng Changye stopped them, "Don't argue, they won't be around for long." How could those people not come to trouble Cheng Changming today? There's no need for them to have a headache.
Cheng Erfu was asked by Niu Erni for a while, and frowned, Chi Chi hurriedly went up and pulled Cheng Erfu's clothes, "Forget it, Uncle Erfu, everyone just needs to be vigilant, today is our home, in case someday there will be someone in the village You are a thief, everyone remember to be careful."
Niu Erni knew that she couldn't do the job of building the school even after making such a fuss, so she patted her pants and left.
Wei Hui and the others had to hurry home and set off. Cheng Erfu had selected the people who would build the school, and just as he was about to send everyone away, Cheng Tiezhu ran over madly.
"Don't come and catch me, don't come and catch me!" Cheng Tiezhu shouted, running towards Cheng Erfu, "Tang uncle, Tang uncle, save me."
Cheng Tiezhu hadn't been able to sleep well during this time, not to mention that when he was about to go to bed last night, he suddenly heard someone crying outside him.
The wind was blowing outside, matching the crying, so scared that he hid under the quilt and dared not make a sound.
Until he heard someone asking sinisterly outside the window, "Cheng Tiezhu, you killed me!"
His teeth were shaking, and he couldn't finish his sentence. The voice outside continued to ring, "Give me back my life, give me back my life!"
He almost didn't fall asleep for a while before he could hear someone shouting, which scared him so much that he didn't fall asleep for the rest of the night. Now his face was ashen, making him even more frightening.
"Uncle Tang, Uncle Tang!" Cheng Tiezhu crawled to Cheng Erfu's side, fell to the ground, pulled Cheng Erfu's pants, and looked around in horror, "Help me, help me, Uncle Tang, when They swallowed all the money that the educated youths ordered, I didn’t take much, I really didn’t take much.”
"It's them, it's all them!"
What Cheng Tiezhu said was confusing, but the villagers still understood the meaning, and immediately someone asked, "Village chief, what does Cheng Tiezhu mean by the money that the educated youths ordered?"
The educated youth spot was built when Cheng Guangtian was around, how could Cheng Erfu know about this.
Some people in the village suddenly realized, "No wonder the educated youth collapsed after a snowfall. They were greedy for our village's money, so we have to ask them to give us justice."
Seeing everyone's anger, Cheng Erfu quickly waved his hands, "Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely find out about this matter. Don't worry, everyone knows who I am, Cheng Erfu, and I will never be greedy for our money. I will definitely give you an explanation."
Hearing Cheng Erfu's words, some people believed in his character, waiting for him to find out and give everyone an explanation.
Someone looked at Cheng Changye and rushed over, "Chang Ye, our family is going to make a bed recently, when do you have time?"
"Yeah, long night, we still need a cabinet at home."
Just after the new year, everyone in the village has some money in their hands, and they just want to live a better life. Cheng Changye is still working in other villages, which is really a bit difficult.
Someone sighed, "Oh, there are too few carpenters in our village. It would be great if there were more people."
Cheng Changye's heart skipped a beat. If he was alone, when would Chi Chi be able to live a good life? It would be different if he opened a factory.
But there is no rush, the address, the machine, you have to take your time. Cheng Changye found the direction of his efforts in his heart, and he was relieved.
Papa Chi was carefully accompanying him at home. Zhong Jianjun lost his temper more and more since he was freed from the army, and now he can reluctantly accept Papa Chi.
As soon as Mother Chi entered the door with the letter, Zhong Jianjun sat on the sofa and couldn't wait to say, "Quick, let me see the letter from my precious grandson."
Chi's mother hurriedly opened the letter and handed it to him. Zhong Jianjun looked at it, his hand holding the crutch became tighter and tighter, and knocked on the ground a few times.
Papa Chi glanced at the ground thoughtfully. Fortunately, they lived on the first floor, otherwise the downstairs would have to come up and knock on the door.
Papa Chi was still in a daze, and Zhong Jianjun slapped the letter on his body, "Look, look, you guys, my precious grandson is being bullied by your adopted son's brother!"
Zhong Jianjun hated iron for being weak and said, "I've said it all, you don't have much knowledge of people, but you still need sex, let's do it now!"
Chi's father and Chi's mother sat in a row opposite Zhong Jianjun, being scolded like two elementary school students.
Li Lan came over with a plate of oranges, and glared at him, "Okay, how old are you, and you still keep training."
Papa Chi picked up the letter and Mama Chi took a look, "Well, we don't know about this."
Zhong Jianjun snorted coldly, and Papa Chi squeezed the letter paper tightly, "Dad, I will handle this matter properly, don't worry."
"However, why does Xiao Chi want the old textbooks?" Papa Chi was a little puzzled. It is said that Chi Chi's grades have always been good, and he has finished high school. He is not a person who likes to study, so why did he suddenly want to give him books send it over.
Zhong Jianjun immediately raised his eyebrows and turned up his volume, "My grandson likes to study, what's wrong?"
"Pack up your books quickly." Zhong Jianjun kicked Papa Chi vigorously, and then said, "By the way, send some money to my grandson, so that the child will not suffer in the countryside."
Chi's father hurriedly responded, and Chi's mother couldn't stand the old father's nagging, so they ran home together.
"Chi Chi, Chi Chi!" Wei Hui held the fabric in her hands and yelled repeatedly, while the girl with braids next to her asked in a low voice, "Xiaohui, does that person really live here? I can't find it, why don't we go back!"
Wei Hui took her arm, "Oh, didn't you also see the clothes he made for my sister-in-law last time, you don't want it anymore?"
Zheng Minmin bit her lower lip hesitantly, and finally made up her mind, "Then, let's look for it again, but we have to go home after dark, otherwise my grandma will be worried."
Wei Hui couldn't help but sighed, "How old are you, you're finally back, why is your grandma still controlling you so strictly?"
Just as Zheng Minmin was about to say something, she watched an old woman sneaking towards someone's yard in front of her.
Zheng Minmin hurriedly tugged on Wei Hui's sleeve, and asked in a low voice, "Xiaohui, didn't we run into a thief?" It was because that person acted too sneakily, and he didn't look like a good person.
Wei Hui had the guts to call out, "What are you doing?" Niu Erni rolled her eyes, her whole body stiffened, and ran away without even thinking about it, not caring about things falling out of her pocket.
Wei Hui still wanted to catch up, but Zheng Minmin hurriedly stopped him, "Don't chase, don't chase, what if there are accomplices."
Wei Hui then stopped, walked into the yard and knocked on the door, "Is anyone there? Your house just recruited thieves, is anyone there?"
Chi Chi was sleeping in a daze, and when he heard someone knock on the door, he got out of bed with his back, "Here we come." Cheng Changye went out early, and he didn't know what he was busy with these two days, Chi Chi murmured in his heart, Cheng Changye has become more and more beastly recently, and he must not be allowed to go to bed today.
Chi Chi opened the door and looked at Wei Hui in surprise, "Why are you?" The snow had only cleared in the past two days, and he thought that it was probably impossible for Wei Hui to come, but he didn't expect to come here today.
Wei Hui was pleasantly surprised when she looked at him. Who would have thought that they just happened to meet someone they hadn't found after so many rounds.
Wei Hui was still holding the fabric in her arms, and before handing it to Chi Chi, she quickly remembered something and said hastily, "By the way, someone was sneaking around in your yard just now."
Zheng Minmin next to him also nodded, reached out and handed the paper bag he had just picked up from the ground to Chi Chi, "It fell out of her pocket, it's an elderly woman."
Chi Chi took the paper bag, and there was a strong smell of medicine, which was not very serious. Chi Chi was stunned for a moment, and hurried to the yard.
The sun has been out these two days, Cheng Changye built a chicken coop in the yard, and kept the three chicks outside. Chi Chi looked at the chick that bit him and was still standing proudly in the yard Only after strolling did he breathe a sigh of relief.
Seeing that nothing was wrong, Wei Hui said, "By the way, I brought my good sister to come to you to make clothes together."

Chi Chi poured water for them and rubbed his head, "I forgot, so today's clothes are considered cheap for you, it's okay."
Zheng Minmin smiled and watched the two of them joke, Wei Hui said and tugged at her sleeve, "By the way, this is my good friend, Zheng Minmin, she is from our county art troupe, hurry up and make her a beautiful dress, there must be something for her." But many people come to you to make clothes."
Chi Chi's eyes lit up, and he quickly replied, "Okay, what kind of clothes do you want, I'll design them for you."

Chi Chi nodded, "No problem." He turned his head and looked at Wei Hui again, "Do you still want the woolen coat?"
Wei Hui piled up the fabrics on the table, "Of course, I've bought all the fabrics, and I'm just waiting for you to make them."
"Okay!" Chi Chi responded one by one, and said in embarrassment, "By the way, can you help me find the village head together." Chi Chi held the paper bag in his hand, "There is such a thing, I am quite worried, can you help me to give a certificate?"
"What's the matter." Wei Hui dragged Zheng Minmin to answer, and now he dragged Chi Chi to find the village chief, "Minmin's family is strictly controlled, let's finish it early, and we'll go back early."
Niu Erni went home in a panic all the way, the place they lived in was not a home anymore, it was dilapidated, and it was a place that Cheng Changming forced them to vacate with the money he had given the Niu family over the years.
Since they moved here, Cheng Changchu has been running around all day long, and Niu Erni has no energy to take care of him anymore. Seeing him come back, Cheng Changming looked at Niu Erni nervously, "What, you put the things in there?" ?"
Niu Erni supported her waist, bent her body, and didn't care about the dirt on her pants. She ran too fast just now and fell down. Who would have thought that Cheng Changming didn't say a word of concern.
"What's going on?" Cheng Changming's eyes were bloodshot, his temper was getting worse and worse, Niu Erni flinched, "No, I ran back quickly when I was seen."
Cheng Changming kicked Niu Erni to the ground viciously, "What good do I want you for, I dare you to do such a trivial thing, why are you still alive?"
Niu Erni shrank and held her head. She was used to Cheng Changming's beating and scolding from time to time, so she stood next to each other in silence.She didn't know that Chi Chi and the others had already gone to the village chief, planning to find her out.
Cheng Changye came to the county town to deliver the ordered furniture, and he came to look for textbooks along the way, but he couldn't find it after looking around for several times. Cheng Changye was about to go to the recycling station to have a look, when he heard the sound of beating and scolding in the alley.
"You bastards, what use are you for!" Several people with scars on their faces viciously kicked the few people lying on the ground, their hands seemed to be very black.
Cheng Changye glanced around and saw that the person on the ground was Zhou Xiaomei from that day. He was just about to help, but Zhou Xiaomei obviously saw him too, blinked her eyes quickly, and signaled him not to move.
The group beat them for a while, but they didn't see a few of them fighting back, so they spat boringly and left.
Only then did Cheng Changye go up to help Zhou Xiaomei up, and several other younger brothers helped each other to stand up, Zhou Xiaomei's legs were trembling, and Cheng Changye asked, "Why didn't you fight back?"
Those people seemed to be strong, but Zhou Xiaomei didn't look like a bully, not to mention his little brothers, how could they be pushed to the ground and beaten.
Zhou Xiaomei let him support her, and the short man next to her said indignantly, "If it wasn't for not being able to get involved with them, how could I have endured this beating today."
Cheng Changye frowned, and the short man went on to say, "My elder brother is so powerful, if it wasn't for us, he could knock down the three of them with one punch, how could we make them arrogant!"
Seeing the short man waving his fists and yelling whoops, Cheng Changye sighed, there are such a group of younger brothers, alas...
"Okay, let's go to the health center first, we have to apply some medicine." Cheng Changye helped Zhou Xiaomei to leave, but Zhou Xiaomei stopped and said awkwardly, "We don't have any money."
"I'll go." Cheng Changye called the others to walk together, thinking it was because they helped Cheng Lan beat Niu Erni that day.
Several people yelled together in the clinic, Zhou Xiaomei was grateful to Cheng Changye, and explained the matter clearly before anyone asked.
Zhou Xiaomei took out a crumpled cigarette from her pocket, smoked and said, "The group of grandchildren today are the ones who lent money to Cheng Changming."
Cheng Changye nodded inwardly. Sure enough, with Zhou Xiaomei and her group of people, they couldn't do a job like lending usury that required money and life.
Zhou Xiaomei was silent for a while in the smoke, and then said, "Brother, thank you today, I will tell you the truth, we brothers just do some small work of reselling things, how can we let those people keep an eye on you?" Well, the rules in the black market, we have to pay them protection fees for doing business, we really can’t afford it, and we can’t do business, and they are forcing us to collect debts.”
Zhou Xiaomei sighed, "This time we didn't get any money back, so we just took the bedding and so on." He smiled wryly, "Fortunately, they think we are useless, and they probably won't come to us in the future. gone."
Cheng Changye was silent for a while. He also wanted to find some work in the black market, but he didn't expect the black market to be so deep. He continued, "Aren't you going to do something serious?"
The short man said, "We also think about it. It's not that it's not easy to take any jobs now. Besides, the jobs in the factory are so tight now, how can we get a few of us."
Then he looked at Xiaomei Zhou winkingly, "But if our eldest brother wants to find a job, it's not difficult, just ask our sister-in-law!"
Zhou Xiaomei took the pillow and threw it at it, her tone immediately became serious, "What nonsense are you talking about, don't ruin the reputation of other girls."
Cheng Changye didn't say anything, Wu Yu held his head, "Brother, why are you beating me up, sister-in-law's family is so powerful, you just ask her to help you."
Zhou Xiaomei's face turned cold, "Ms. Ren can't even live a good life with me. I have to trouble others. Why should I be with them? Don't talk about it in the future."
Zhou Xiaomei softened her tone and looked at Cheng Changye, "Brother, thank you for today, don't worry, I will definitely pay you back the medical expenses in the future."
Cheng Changye nodded silently and did not speak. What Zhou Xiaomei said just now undoubtedly gave him a nod. What kind of life was Chi Chi before he was with him, let alone in Shanghai, since he just went to the countryside, He bought a bicycle worth more than 100 yuan when he said he would buy it, and it can be seen that he has lived without money since he was a child.
But after being with him, he has never seen Chi Chi buy anything here, let alone the box containing the money he saw two days ago, and the money he gave in it was almost untouched, Cheng Changye was at a loss look at the sky.
Chi Chi was dragging Wei Hui and the others to the village chief's house, and Cheng Erfu was wondering why Chi Chi was here because it's not a festival.
Chi Chi greeted obediently without procrastinating, and immediately said, "Uncle Erfu, I came to see you for something."
"A thief came to our house today, and my friend found it. The thief dropped this in his arms. It doesn't look right." Chi Chi said as he handed the paper bag to Cheng Erfu from his arms. After Liang's marriage, Cheng Erfu's attitude towards Chi Chi obviously improved a lot.
Cheng Erfu took the paper bag with a frown and looked at Chi Chi, "Well, let's go to the health center to see Dr. Cui first."
Speaking of which, Cheng Erfu looked at Wei Hui and the others, "Is it the thief you saw?"
Wei Hui nodded, "Yes, the thief sneaked into the yard of Chi Chi's house. As soon as we yelled, the thief ran away. By the way, it was a woman who looked about 50 or [-] years old. gone."
Cheng Erfu pondered, this matter is not trivial, if this thing is a bit poisonous, it will be a big deal.
Zheng Minmin saw Cheng Erfu's hesitation, and then said, "I still remember that thief's face, and I can recognize him."
Cheng Erfu nodded, "It's very cold, and not many people go out. If it's really a thief, Chi Chi can't come here alone at this moment. In this way, it happens that today I have to recruit people to build the school together. I'll send them Look for them all, and see if they are from the village."
Zheng Minmin nodded. When Cheng Changye came back, everyone in the village was summoned to the drying yard. Cheng Erfu stood on the platform to mobilize, "Our village is finally going to build a school now. While there is no farm work during this period, let's see If anyone in the village is willing to do it, our village will pay for it in cash."
At first, everyone was not very happy, but in this cold weather, when they heard that the money was settled, they immediately regained their energy and hurriedly raised their hands to sign up.
When Cheng Changye came, he was looking at Chi Chi and Wei Hui standing together, and his heart tightened inexplicably. Just now, he thought that Chi Chi had suffered with him, but now he saw Chi Chi chatting and laughing with others Yes, he felt that it was too late to tidy up tonight.
Cheng Changye was still thinking about something, Chi Chi saw him coming back, greeted Wei Hui, and rushed straight to Cheng Changye, "I'm back so early today!"
Cheng Changye nodded, and Chi Chi continued, "Let me tell you, a thief came to the house today. Fortunately, Xiaohui and the others came, otherwise I wouldn't know."
Cheng Changye looked at him worriedly, "Then you are all right."
"Of course I'm fine!" Chi Chi looked at him with his chin raised, and suddenly looked at him with a blushing face, and lowered his voice to his ear, "It's all your fault last night...otherwise I wouldn't be able to sleep until noon. "
Chi Chi acted softly in front of him, and Cheng Changye's heart melted. Taking advantage of no one's attention, Chi Chi quietly raised his little finger, "It's been a hard day today, are you exhausted?"
Cheng Changye smiled and squeezed his fingertips, imitating his tone, "It's not hard."
After thinking about it, Cheng Changye still asked, "Why haven't you touched the money in the box?"
Chi Chi tilted his head, "We have to save money." Cheng Changye's Adam's apple rolled, and his voice was hoarse, "You don't have to..."
"Why not." Chi Chi looked around, took Cheng Changye's hand and touched his stomach, "We must not save money for our little treasure."
After Chi Chi finished speaking, he laughed, and the inexplicable point in Cheng Changye's heart disappeared, "Buy whatever you want, and I can afford to support you."
"It seems that I didn't work hard enough, otherwise you would have met Xiao Xiaobao earlier." Cheng Changye looked at him with a smile on his lips.
Chi Chi suddenly didn't dare to speak.
Niu Erni was mixed in the crowd. After Cheng Changming finished beating her, she went back to the house to sleep. Seeing that she was looking for someone to build a school and could still pay in cash, she squeezed from the crowd to the front row without thinking, shouting, "I me!"
When Cheng Guangtian was here, he also organized this kind of work, and some people followed suit, and he could get paid even if he didn't work. She couldn't miss such a good thing.
The crowd was so chaotic, Zheng Minmin was a little anxious. Originally, she promised to help identify people. Who would have thought that there were so many people. She bit her lower lip, and she might not be able to recognize them now.
Who would have thought that Niu Erni was squeezed straight in the front row, Zheng Minmin's eyes lit up, he tugged at Wei Hui's sleeve, and whispered, "That's her." As he spoke, he pointed his eyes in Niu Erni's direction.
Wei Hui immediately walked up to Cheng Erfu and told him that Zheng Minmin had recognized the thief. Niu Erni was crowded in the front row, and the voice sounded familiar. Seeing that the unknown girl kept looking at her, she immediately felt that No, I just want to squeeze back.
But there were too many people, and they all pushed forward, Cheng Erfu snorted coldly, and it was Niu Erni again, who didn't even give face, and said directly, "Niu Erni, what are you doing at Cheng Changye's house today!"
The crowd was quiet for a while, and then began to discuss in a rambling manner. Chi Chi and Cheng Changye stood together, never expecting that the thief he thought was actually Niu Erni.
Niu Erni kept silent, she didn't expect to be recognized by others, Niu Erni rolled her eyes and opened her mouth to howl.
Cheng Erfu was used to her going crazy from time to time, and ignored her. Dr. Cui was also called over, took the paper bag and carefully identified it, and asked Cheng Erfu with a frown, "Village Chief, where did this come from? It’s poisonous, it’s terrible if you eat it.”
Dr. Cui didn't avoid people when he spoke, most of the villagers heard it, Cheng Changye frowned immediately, and pulled Chi Chi to look carefully, "What's the matter, what's the matter with that thing, it belongs to Niu Erni? Are you OK?"
As Cheng Changye said, he dragged Chi Chi around in a circle, let Chi Chi poke out his eyes, nose, ears, and even his tongue to have a look, "Are you all right, is there any discomfort?"
Cheng Changye was anxious, "Forget it, I'll take you to the county hospital."
Chi Chi's wrist was pulled, and he hurriedly said, "I'm fine, I found that thing in the yard."
Chi Chi repeatedly assured that he never ate anything he shouldn't eat. Looking at Cheng Changye's frowning eyebrows, he reached out and touched it, "I'm not a child anymore, can I still pick up things on the ground to eat?"
Cheng Changye was finally relieved. When Niu Erni heard Dr. Cui's words, she hurriedly took out her pockets. How could they have picked up the thing.
"Tsk, this Niu Erni is really ruthless, I'm afraid she's killing her!"
"It's not enough to train her for so many years. Really, none of the sons she gave birth to is good."
"If it weren't for that, retribution!"
Cheng Erfu didn't expect Niu Erni to be so capable of being a monster, and dare to poison others, so he asked harshly, "Niu Erni, tell me, what are you doing?"
Niu Erni was shivering in the crowd, her body was soaked in sweat from the wound that Cheng Changming had beaten, causing her to tremble in pain.
"I, I, where did I come from poisonous mice, to poisonous mice!" Niu Erni's mind was spinning rapidly, and then she spoke confidently, "What's the matter, besides, is it okay for me to pass someone's yard?"
"They haven't lost anything at home." Niu Erni looked at Cheng Erfu triumphantly, and now she has nothing to say.
Chi Chi held his breath in his heart. He didn't believe that Niu Erni was used to poison mice. Niu Erni obviously wanted to harm them.
Cheng Changye stopped them, "Don't argue, they won't be around for long." How could those people not come to trouble Cheng Changming today? There's no need for them to have a headache.
Cheng Erfu was asked by Niu Erni for a while, and frowned, Chi Chi hurriedly went up and pulled Cheng Erfu's clothes, "Forget it, Uncle Erfu, everyone just needs to be vigilant, today is our home, in case someday there will be someone in the village You are a thief, everyone remember to be careful."
Niu Erni knew that she couldn't do the job of building the school even after making such a fuss, so she patted her pants and left.
Wei Hui and the others had to hurry home and set off. Cheng Erfu had selected the people who would build the school, and just as he was about to send everyone away, Cheng Tiezhu ran over madly.
"Don't come and catch me, don't come and catch me!" Cheng Tiezhu shouted, running towards Cheng Erfu, "Tang uncle, Tang uncle, save me."
Cheng Tiezhu hadn't been able to sleep well during this time, not to mention that when he was about to go to bed last night, he suddenly heard someone crying outside him.
The wind was blowing outside, matching the crying, so scared that he hid under the quilt and dared not make a sound.
Until he heard someone asking sinisterly outside the window, "Cheng Tiezhu, you killed me!"
His teeth were shaking, and he couldn't finish his sentence. The voice outside continued to ring, "Give me back my life, give me back my life!"
He almost didn't fall asleep for a while before he could hear someone shouting, which scared him so much that he didn't fall asleep for the rest of the night. Now his face was ashen, making him even more frightening.
"Uncle Tang, Uncle Tang!" Cheng Tiezhu crawled to Cheng Erfu's side, fell to the ground, pulled Cheng Erfu's pants, and looked around in horror, "Help me, help me, Uncle Tang, when They swallowed all the money that the educated youths ordered, I didn’t take much, I really didn’t take much.”
"It's them, it's all them!"
What Cheng Tiezhu said was confusing, but the villagers still understood the meaning, and immediately someone asked, "Village chief, what does Cheng Tiezhu mean by the money that the educated youths ordered?"
The educated youth spot was built when Cheng Guangtian was around, how could Cheng Erfu know about this.
Some people in the village suddenly realized, "No wonder the educated youth collapsed after a snowfall. They were greedy for our village's money, so we have to ask them to give us justice."
Seeing everyone's anger, Cheng Erfu quickly waved his hands, "Don't worry, everyone, I will definitely find out about this matter. Don't worry, everyone knows who I am, Cheng Erfu, and I will never be greedy for our money. I will definitely give you an explanation."
Hearing Cheng Erfu's words, some people believed in his character, waiting for him to find out and give everyone an explanation.
Someone looked at Cheng Changye and rushed over, "Chang Ye, our family is going to make a bed recently, when do you have time?"
"Yeah, long night, we still need a cabinet at home."
Just after the new year, everyone in the village has some money in their hands, and they just want to live a better life. Cheng Changye is still working in other villages, which is really a bit difficult.
Someone sighed, "Oh, there are too few carpenters in our village. It would be great if there were more people."
Cheng Changye's heart skipped a beat. If he was alone, when would Chi Chi be able to live a good life? It would be different if he opened a factory.
But there is no rush, the address, the machine, you have to take your time. Cheng Changye found the direction of his efforts in his heart, and he was relieved.
