Network New Liao Zhai

Chapter 260

Breakfast was delivered by Xiaoqin, porridge, pickles and barley cakes.Xiaoqin took out some roasted sweet potatoes from the firepit, which she threw there last night.

"Sister, brother, if you want to eat, you can roast it anytime, and you can also roast peanuts."

"Okay, let's talk about it tonight."

Xiao Ou asked Xiao Qin: "Who owns those newly built small buildings at the entrance of the village?"

"There are those from Mr. Ai, those from Mr. Ai, and those from Yang Shengxue. I heard that they contracted a big project outside and made a lot of money. They built new buildings when they came back. Everyone in the village envied them. Several people followed them. I'm working, and so is my brother."

Xiao Ou said to Guo Qiqi and Xu Feng: "Boss Ai and Lao Liu are brothers, and Yang Shengxue is their brother-in-law. I heard that they always go out to work together."

Xu Feng: "Father and son soldiers fight tiger brothers, it seems that they are working together to make a fortune."

Guo Qiqi: "It should be a small interest group. The sudden wealth is strange. I suspect that they don't understand the money."

Xiao Ou asked Xiao Qin: "Who are the people who walked with your brother? Did they make any money, and would they call?"

Xiaoqin mentioned the names of several people, including Yang Xuejun, Yang Shengwu, Ai Bo, Ai Xueyong, Zhang Ansheng, and her brother Yang Xiaohui.

Most people in Bajiaozhai Village have the surnames Yang and Ai.They are all relatives, so when they go out to work, they are accompanied by acquaintances, so that they can feel at ease and take care of each other.We are all fellow villagers, of course we have to help each other.

Xiaoqin said: "My brother doesn't have a mobile phone, and our family doesn't have a phone. They called the canteen from outside and asked Yang Sheng from the canteen to tell them that they will definitely make money, so that the family can rest assured."

"Then did you say where they work?"

"When I left, I said I was going to Jiangcheng, which is a big city and can make a lot of money. Why, Miss Ou, isn't my brother in Jiangcheng? Didn't you see him?"

Xiao Ou: "Your brother didn't come to see us, so we didn't know he came to Jiangcheng. My mother went to inquire about it, but she hasn't inquired about it yet. She is still inquiring about it for the past few days. Jiangcheng is so big, I'm afraid it will happen soon. Can't find it either."

Last night, Aunt Axiang asked Xiao Ou when Ahui would come back, and Xiao Ou answered in the same way.

After hearing this, Aunt Ah Xiang comforted her and said: "Call your mother and don't worry. If you find it, come back together. If you can't find it, let your mother come back first. Don't worry about him."

"The reason why I came back early is to ask if you have Ai Laoliu's phone number. If you ask him, won't you know where your brother is?"

"No, we don't have his phone number. We asked Yang Shengcai from the commissary, and he said he called from his landline. When he called, they said that the project had been completed, and they all left and went to other places."

"Well, maybe I took it to another place. It's not surprising that these part-time workers have a lot of mobility."

"Uncle Sheng Cai also said that, so my mother thought of asking you again."

"Oh, so that's how it is. Xiaoqin, put away the bowls and chopsticks first, and let's go to the village later.

Xiaoqin agreed to go.

When Xiaoqin leaves,

Guo Qiqi asked, "Xiaoqin, doesn't she go to school?"

Xiao Ou: "You have also seen the situation in their family. Ahui and his brothers have all gone out to work. How can Xiaoqin, a girl, go to school again?"

"Girls can't go to school? Aren't you a girl too? Haven't you been admitted to university?"

"Our family is different. In the past, our family's conditions were much better than theirs. When I was in high school, my father had not passed away. Later, when my father passed away, I thought about not going to school, but the teacher said it was a pity. My grades are so good, my mother also said that my younger brother is still young, and it is still too early to stand up for him when he grows up. I can’t let me give up halfway, or the previous money will be wasted. If you bite your teeth and stand up, you will confess me.

Now I think my mother’s decision was right. I can save enough tuition fees myself, and the money from my mother’s part-time job is used for my younger brother.When I graduate and find a job, we will be able to get through it completely. "

Xu Feng: "Your mother is very discerning, and you are also amazing, very uplifting."

"How can there be? Thanks to the help of many kind-hearted people, the teachers in the school, and you. And Xiaoqin and his family have a third child who studies in the same school as my brother in the county. If only one can be provided, Of course, only Xiaoqin gave up. This is the case in the countryside, and most opportunities are reserved for boys. Now their family is for the third child. Xiaoqin helps Aunt Axiang do some work at home. When she gets older, Going to work too."

This is the fate of most rural children.

Guo Qiqi sighed, "Oh, well, let's get back to business!"

"Brother Feng, sister Qiqi, what do you think?"

"It's impossible that no one in the village knows Ai Laoliu's phone number and whereabouts, right? What about his family?"

Xiao Ou: "There is only one old woman in his family who stays in the village, so it's really hard to tell if you know his phone number.

His wife and children are all outside, as are Boss Ai and his younger sister's house. In previous years, they only came back after the Chinese New Year, and they couldn't even see anyone. "

Xu Feng: "And the owner of the canteen, does he know anything?"

"Yang Shengcai? He used to work outside. I heard that he was injured. The boss compensated him a sum of money, so he came back to open a small shop and didn't go out to work again. But I think he is doing well, it doesn't look like Looks hurt."

Guo Qiqi: "You can see the internal injuries he suffered?"

Xiao Ou: "By the way, Yang Sheng is Yang Shengxue's elder brother. He is related to Ai's family by marriage. The two families have always had a good relationship."

Xu Feng: "Oh, there is still such a relationship? There is something to see. When I came here, Brother Kai told us to check it out. There may be Ai Laoliu's accomplices in the village. According to that

This Yang Sheng is the most suspicious. "

"Brother Feng makes sense, he must be Ai Laoliu's eyeliner in the village,

Maybe our every move is under his surveillance. "

Guo Qiqi: "What's the matter? Anyway, we are students returning to our hometown to conduct investigations. It is only natural to visit with great fanfare. It would be better for him to jump out on his own if he is guilty of guilt. The more he dances, the more flaws he will reveal."

Xu Feng: "Let's do this..."

It was arranged like this.

When Xiaoqin came back again, Xiaoou said: "Xiaoqin, brother Feng and sister Qiqi came back with me this time, just to do some research in the village and write a thesis. Take sister Qiqi to the village to find some families. Let’s drop by, and I’ll take Brother Feng to several other houses.”

"it is good".Xiao Qin happily agreed.

The four went downstairs, Xiaoqin took Guo Qiqi up to the village, Xiaoou took Xu Feng down, and walked towards the entrance of the village.

The slate road was covered with snow, and no one came out at this time. It was a cold day, and they were all elderly people. Are all cats warming up at home?Who would come out to wander around when they have nothing to do?

Xiao Ou pointed to a building on stilts, "That's Ai Lao Liu's old home, and now his wife lives alone, why don't you ask?"

"go."

Xiao Ou shouted outside the door: "Grandma Ai, grandma Ai..."

"Who is it!"

"I, Xiaoou."

"Xiao Ou is back, come in quickly..."

The door opened, and an old woman with white hair leaned out and waved to them, "Come in, come in. When did you come back?"

"It was nearly midnight last night."

The old woman looked at Xu Feng behind her, "Hehe! I thought it was your brother Xiaogang. When you get old, your eyesight won't look good."

"This is a brother from my school. My brother and the rest are still on vacation for a few days."

"Oh, rare guest, come here, sit down, warm up by the fire, and eat peanuts."

The old man grabbed two handfuls of peanuts and stuffed them into their hands.

They sat by the firepit and chatted while peeling peanuts.

"Grandma, the beautiful house at the head of the village was built by Uncle Liu and the others. It's really magnificent."

"What kind of grandeur is it? It was repaired with a waste of money and no one lives in it."

"How come, when they come back, someone will live there."

The old man shook his head.

"Grandma, you can live here too! The new house is so nice."

"I'm not going to live!"

The old man flatly refused.

Old people have a nostalgic plot, Xiao Ou thinks that the old people may still be used to living in old houses.So instead of continuing on this topic, I asked, "Grandma, when will Uncle and the others come back for the New Year?"

"do not know."

"Grandma, do you have their phone number? Why don't you call and ask? I have a cell phone."

"No. They didn't tell me either. If they told me, I can't remember. Don't ask, I will come back when I come back, and I won't come back if I don't come back. I can't control them."

The tone of the old man's speech was very unhappy, as if he was angry.

Xiao Ou thought: The children are not around, only the old man is alone, so dissatisfaction is also right.
