Chapter 251 250 Thief, Sweet Potato, Accident

city.

Although there is still a long time to go before the New Year, the air is already filled with a faint taste of the New Year. Occasionally, people can be seen dancing Yangko dances in the streets and alleys, and there are also children setting off firecrackers.

Wang Yuan rode a motorcycle to the door of a store, and just got off and walked in, a small man squatting in a corner with his hands in his pockets ran two steps and got on his motorcycle.

Pull out the fake key and start fiddling with the keyhole.

The female clerk in the store saw it, and her face changed, but she didn't dare to speak for fear of being retaliated against.

Wang Yuan noticed something was wrong from the clerk's expression, and he jumped angrily when he turned his head:
"Hey! How dare you steal my car!? You're courting death!"

He took a big stride and quickly rushed out of the store with a fork, grabbing the thief down.

chu chu chu ~
The motorcycle was also hit at this time, and then the center of gravity became unstable and fell to the ground. If it was a few seconds later, the thief would probably run away on the motorcycle.

"You don't want to learn how to steal cars at a young age, do you? I'll give you a shot, and I'll give you another kick!"

"Oh, how dare you hit me!? Do you know who I am?"

""So horizontal?I'll kick you a few more times! "

Wang Yuan was very angry and almost lost the motorcycle. Once the motorcycle was ridden away, it would be difficult to find it.

He kicked the young man's feet hard on the ground again, seeing the latter's hand stretched into his arms, he squeezed the other's wrist again.

Slowly pulled the opponent's hand out of his arms, and sure enough, he was holding a knife in his hand.

"Heh, you want to fuck with a knife? Stab me? That's fine, I'll take you to the police station right now." Wang Yuan snatched the knife from the opponent's hand.

The young man is only 16 to 17 years old. He is not afraid of being beaten, but when he heard that he was going to be sent to the police station, he was scared immediately.

"Brother, I was wrong, you just go around me this time... If you smoke, my dad will beat me to death if he knows I'm in a mess."

"What smoke? Daqianmen."

Wang Yuanzu looked at the young man for more than a minute, then he took out the smoke and rode away on his bicycle. Another sentence came from the cold wind: "Don't do this business, or you will get into trouble sooner or later."

In the end, Wang Yuan gave up sending the opponent into the game, and didn't want to push the opponent into a hurry.

As for the possibility that the other party will steal other people's cars again, after all, he has tasted how fast he can make money, so it will be difficult to work honestly again, and he can't control this.

This year is only 1992, and for more than ten years since then, the law and order have not been very good.

After buying all the things, I rode a motorcycle back to Wangjiatuner. Just when I came to the intersection of entering and leaving the village, I happened to see a white Nissan Banning van coming.

The van stopped suddenly when it passed by Wang Yuan, and the window was lowered, it turned out that it was Li Shen's purchasing manager.

"Wang Yuan, you just came back? I bought 20 flying dragons, and I wondered why I didn't see you at home just now."

"Well, there are some things to do in our city, Manager Li, please go slowly."

Manager Li looked at Wang Yuan enviously again. Although he was riding a four-wheeler and Wang Yuan was riding a broken motorcycle, he knew that he was far less rich than Wang Yuan.

And because he followed Li Shen relatively late, he didn't even know the relationship between Wang Yuan and Li Shen in opening a restaurant chain.

Just looking at the surface now, Li Shen is the owner of a luxury hotel in the provincial capital, a rich man, and usually contacts with officials or other rich men.

And Wang Yuan seems to be a farmer living in a remote village - of course, Li Shen warned Manager Li not to offend Wang Yuan, so there was no story of pretending to face.

chu chu chu ~
After returning home, the three dogs happily greeted Wang Yuan as usual.

"Wang Wang~"

"Okay, okay, stop barking, be honest."

After a fight with the dogs, Wang Yuan dusted himself off and entered the house, only to find his wife Li Yan counting the money.

Put blue and white hundred-yuan bills on the kang, count them slowly but carefully, the fourth set of RMB is still used in this era, and the one-hundred-yuan bills are not red bills, but blue and white.

On the front are the heads of four slightly overlapping figures, and on the back is a landscape painting of Jinggangshan.

Sister-in-law Li Ping was standing on the right side of Li Yan, looking eagerly at her sister counting the money, while her daughter, Xiaotingzi, was already sleeping on the bed covered with a small quilt.

"Are you done counting? How about I count?"

"No, no, I'll save it in the bank as long as you have time after counting." Li Yan tied the money with a rubber band and handed it to Wang Yuan happily.

The interest rates on bank deposits in this era are much higher than those in later generations, and different banks have different interest rates, but the one-year interest rates generally reach 7% to 9%.

For the three-year and five-year term, the annual interest rate is even more than 10%.

That is to say, if you save 1 yuan, the annual interest will be more than 1000 yuan. Last year's 1000 yuan bought a lot.

A thought flashed through Wang Yuan's head—many peasants didn't trust banks at all, and hid their money under water urns, under kang mats, in cracks between stove bricks, or in mouse holes and so on.

And he is reluctant to spend, and likes to save money very much.

It seems that the amount of money is not less, but in fact the purchasing power has been too much less. It can be said that the money is less - it was stolen by a shrewd "thief".

Sudden.

Xiaotingzi lying on the kang turned over, opened her eyes and looked at Wang Yuan in a daze, but she didn't want to get up and closed her eyes again to continue sleeping.

Wang Yuan smiled and said: "Oh, Xiaotingzi is still sleeping. I just bought some candy. The three of us ate all the candy while she was asleep."

"Pfft~"

The two sisters Li Yan and Li Ping both laughed, but Xiao Tingzi suddenly felt relieved, and ran towards Wang Yuan with short legs full of excitement.

"Dad, I want to eat candy, hee hee~"

"Aren't you asleep?"

"I'm awake again, Dad, just give me a piece of candy." I don't know who I learned from, Xiaotingzi can shake Wang Yuan's arm and act like a baby at such a young age.

Wang Yuan gave her two pieces of white rabbit toffee, Xiao Tingzi ate one and carefully put the other into his pocket, and patted his pocket contentedly.

time flies.

A week passed in the blink of an eye.

This day, Wang Yuan just came back from the big fair in the village, and his younger sister Wang Xiaodie waited in his courtyard early.

"Second brother! Have you bought the rubber band?"

Xiaodie ran to Wang Yuan with a full face of anticipation. She has grown taller and taller in the past two years.

"I bought it, I bought it, first give it to your sister-in-law, let her pick up a piece and keep it for making clothes, and the rest will be yours." Wang Yuan gave her a big ball of red rubber bands, and she immediately ran away holding them. back to the house.

The game of jumping rubber bands requires a very long rubber band, which is considered a waste by many parents and would not buy them for them. Xiao Die knew that her second brother Wang Yuan was rich, so she came to pester him.

A mere rubber band doesn't cost a lot of money, so Wang Yuan bought it on the way to the fair.

Of course, as the frequency of use increases, the elastic force of the rubber band will gradually disappear. It is not certain how long the rubber band bought this time can be used.

The sun was in the sky, but the sunlight that shone on the body seemed to be chilly. Thick white snow covered the whole small village. Both the houses and the trees seemed to have gained several layers of weight.

"Brother Yuan is back from the market? What good things do you want to buy?"

Wang Hu was in the yard of his house, he didn't know what to do, he bent his waist, and opened his mouth to let out a white gas.

"Pork, dim sum, canned food, sesame oil, rock candy, and some needles and brains that your sister-in-law asked to buy."

"Pork? Buy pork haha? If you want to eat meat, go to my dad's yard and cut it. The pig I killed last time hasn't been eaten yet."

Wang Hu's father is Wang Yuan's third uncle who owns a pig farm and occasionally butchers a pig himself.

Generally, Wang Yuan would only ask for meat if the third uncle offered it to him, but the other party didn't say anything, so he rarely asked for meat on his own initiative.

"Buy some on the way... huh? Are you Gaha? Are you making clips?"

After a closer look, he discovered that Wang Hu was making iron traps. There were big and small ones, the small ones could catch pheasants, and the big ones could catch roe deer.

"Yeah, I don't know who has a baby and no butthole and stole my clip! I'm so mad, don't let me know who stole my clip! Hey~ there's no way, I can only Make a few more yourself."

"Where did you put the clip?"

Wang Yuan laughed instantly, but there is no good way for this kind of thing to happen, it's just that it's really unlucky that all the clips were stolen.

"To the west, there are wild boar footprints there. I thought I could catch a wild boar."

At this time, Li Yan called Wang Yuan from the room, and the latter went back to the room with the basket on his back.

Li Yan was breastfeeding the little girl, while her younger sister Wang Xiaodie was playing with her rubber band. She found that Wang Yuan bought the rubber band longer. This is really a happy trouble.

"Buy it long? Then cut a section off."

"No cut!"

The little girl couldn't bear it, a simple ball of rubber band was regarded as a treasure, and she couldn't bear to cut it off a little bit: "I'll just use it like this, I'm leaving!"

Hugging the rubber band and ran away, Wang Yuan told her not to play outside with her friends, it was too cold, I don't know if she heard.

I showed Li Yan all the things I bought, and most of them were in line with Li Yan's wishes. Put what should be put in the outer room, and what should be put on the cabinet.

At this time, Li Ping, who was convenient to go to the thatched cottage, also came back. After returning to the warm room, she hurried to the kang, her buttocks were almost frozen and unconscious.

Wang Yuan played with Xiao Tingzi's beanbags, and said casually: "Xiao Tingzi should consider weaning at this age, or Yanzi, you are too tired."

Xiao Tingzi was ignorant and twitched his fingers.

Li Yan thought for a while and said: "This... Let's look at it after a while, she is still so young, come to the small pavilion and let my mother hug her."

"Yah~"

Xiao Tingzi stopped playing with Wang Yuan immediately, and ran to Li Yan happily like a kitten, giggling non-stop.

The pork was stewed at night, but as soon as the delicious pork was out of the pot, the cousin Wang Hu rushed in.

"Brother Yuan, is it a coincidence that I'm here? I came just after your meat was cooked."

"Hahaha~ Just try it if you want to eat it."

Wang Hu didn't hesitate to pinch a piece and tasted it. The meat smelled fragrant leaves, cinnamon, tangerine peel, and aniseed. It was moderately salty, and Wang Hu was full of praise instantly.

"What's that word called? It's fragrant but not greasy! Yes, it's fragrant but not greasy! It's delicious, so delicious!"

"Leave a piece to eat, just in time to call Mengzi over, the three of us will drink and chat."

"Uh, how about another day?"

Wang Hu glanced at Li Yan with a big belly, he didn't want to be disturbed by his lack of vision, Li Yan with a big belly was lethargic, tired, woke up at night, Wang Yuan's house rested early every day, and he knew that he was so close.

"By the way, Brother Yuan, I'm here to get the bullets, do you have more bullets?"

"A lot, it must be enough for you." Wang Yuan wiped his hands with a towel, went to the back room, opened a drawer on the kangqin, and took out an iron box.

There are a lot of bullets neatly stacked in the iron box, and the yellow color is quite beautiful.

"I'll give it all to you. This is 100 rounds, which should be enough for you for a while."

It was almost the Chinese New Year, and the sound of gunshots gradually increased. Many people fired their guns and thought it was a whip when they heard the sound, and the bullets were consumed very quickly.

Wang Hu didn't refuse and ran away with the iron box in his arms. After a while, he sent the iron box back, and took a bowl of stewed pork with him when he left.

Wang Yuan, Li Yan, and Li Ping sat around the kang table to eat.

Li Yan asked curiously: "The big box of bullets is the only one in our house, right? I gave it all to Huzi and you don't use it yourself?"

"Don't worry, there are still more bullets."

Wang Yuan smiled and didn't say much. Before that, he also bought a lot of weapons in Russia, such as machine guns, rifles, pistols, grenades, etc., and there was no shortage of bullets.

I am afraid no less than 10 rounds!

Play 20 rounds a day, and it can be used for nearly 20 years!So it's not enough at all.

After dinner, Li Yan watched TV dramas, Li Ping snuggled next to her and read novels, while Wang Yuan sat on a stool and made a small discarded iron pot and baked sweet potatoes with charcoal for fun.

The charcoal is scarlet red and the temperature is very high. Soon the skin of the sweet potato begins to change color, and the fragrance gradually wafts out.

The three dogs lay at his feet, and they liked to stay in the warm room and would not go out even though they were full.

"Woo~"

Big Wolf raised the dog's head, stretched out his nose and sniffed vigorously, then looked at Wang Yuan.

"Why do you want to eat roasted sweet potatoes? Wait, you can eat it right away."

Li Yan suddenly smiled and added: "They also eat raw sweet potatoes, they eat everything."

"The raw ones are not as good as the cooked ones. You can eat them when you're done." Wang Yuan broke off a few pieces and fed them to the three dogs, and then divided them among Li Yan and the others.

It may be that the pieces are too big, the skin of the sweet potato is burnt but it is still a bit hard, but the sweet potato flesh next to the skin is red and translucent, as if it is about to flow honey, it tastes very delicious.

"It's been in the cellar for so long, these sweet potatoes are really sweet."

"Indeed~ If you like it, we will bake it often in the future. It tastes much better than stewing and taking medicine."

"Is it finished? Is there any more? Give me another piece."

"Woooo~"

Just as the few people were sharing the sweet potatoes and eating them, the wind outside suddenly picked up, and the plastic sheeting on the windows was blown loudly.

Sudden.

My mother's voice came from outside the yard: "Xiao Yuan, open the door quickly! Something happened!"
