Go back to the past and be a schoolboy

Chapter 268 Misunderstanding
"Hey, my son's father, why haven't I seen you lately? I get up early every day and wait until late at night. I saw you go out on a three-wheeled ride early in the morning. I didn't see you back until after dinner time. You are smelly all over your body. Can't do it!"

In the courtyard, Cheng Nuo's cook, Xiu Ni, was pulling the bellows in the kitchen to light the fire for dinner.

After hearing the commotion outside, he quickly looked out, and saw that it was his man, his voice became less polite:

"Hurry up and help me, show me the fire. I like to cook. You two are exactly the same. When I ask you to light the fire when cooking, no one will be able to see the figure. But after serving the dinner table, I will starve to death." It's like a ghost is reborn, thanks to our husband's generosity, otherwise he would have kicked us out three miles away."

Li Laosan has not finished the work at hand, so he must go into the kitchen: "Hey, it is because we are working for the husband, so we have to have good eyesight, we can't wait for the teacher to order everything, then we can't do it." It seemed so useless."

While talking, her hands were clanging, and Xiu Ni, who was in the kitchen, didn't know what the other party was busy with.

Fortunately, the clanging sound didn't last too long, and after a while, I saw Li Laosan lift the thick curtain and wanted to come in from the outside.

"Hey, it's still warm in the kitchen, but it's so cold outside that your nose is about to freeze."

Unexpectedly, as soon as the front foot came in, the back foot was still outside. Li Laosan was immediately stopped by Xiu Ni, rolled his eyes and threw an old towel over:

"Hurry up and shake off the ashes on your body. You've been with my husband for so long, don't you know how to be clean and sloppy? Get clean before you come in!"

Li Laosan knew he was wrong, took the towel with both hands and smiled, and quickly retreated outside, leaning on the window sill to shake the dust off his body.

"Damn it, you don't know, it's really hard to live in this crowded place, what to say, it's hard to go on, what smoking / opium / tablets, morpho / morphine / coffee, drinking, gambling , playing with each other more than one flower, as for the place where they often live, what is it called..."

Through the window paper, the shadow in the kitchen paused for a moment, and then came out an angry word: "That's called the Firearms Camp, and all the people living there are bannermen. Why do you go there when you have nothing to do?"

"Yes, it's called Firearms Camp!" Li Laosan took a towel and slapped his trouser legs bang bang: "The days of banner people were beautiful in the past. They didn't have to worry about eating and drinking, and they could do whatever they wanted, but now it's different. No, there is no payment, it’s a sack for a straw bag—a bag is not as good as a bag.”

Speaking of excitement, regardless of whether the children in the room replied or not, Li Laosan said to himself: "No matter how rich you are, you can't resist the method of the Bannerman. First sell the furniture, then steal the house, and become a thief with nowhere to go. There are quite a few of them, if it is later, selling wives and children is not far away, otherwise sooner or later they will freeze to death on the street!"

At this moment, a bang was suddenly heard from inside the house, and the water ladle hit the pot lid fiercely, and then the door curtain was lifted, Xiu Ni rushed out from inside, and directly grabbed Li Laosan by the ear: "Okay!" You Li Laosan, thanks to the fact that I have been with you for so many years, I gave birth to you with a son and a half daughter, so you have other ideas at the end of the day?"

Li Laosan was stunned for a moment, feeling the sharp pain from his ears, he couldn't stand still: "Let go, let go, you crazy woman, what are you doing? My ears are almost torn off by me, what kind of look!"

Xiu Ni was getting angry, and the saliva in her mouth was almost flying to the opponent's face, and her hands became more vigorous: "Li Laosan, you are really not a man, I thought I was worried about you before, don't be hungry outside It's freezing, I didn't expect you to still have the idea of ​​a little woman, why, you want to add a second and third bedroom?!"

"No, where did you say that?" Li Laosan didn't care about his ears, and was in a hurry: "When did I say that I want to add a second and third bedroom? Our old Li is not that kind of person, don't Knock the shit out of the pot!"

Xiu Ni stared: "Give me back the shit bowl. If you didn't have the idea, why would you want to hit her little wife? It's fine to hit her, and pick up her broken shoes. Don't blame me for looking down on you!"

"It's not... this... oh! Where are you thinking!" Li Laosan completely understood, just because he was greedy in the morning and didn't say what he was doing, and the last sentence was wrong, which made his mother-in-law misunderstand I wanted to find my little wife, and I made a big joke.

The reason is that I figured it out, but it's not so easy to explain. In addition, this woman is an emotional animal, and she can't listen to anything at all. Originally, Li Laosan wanted to explain.

But when he saw that the other party was really reckless, his temper immediately came up.

Noisy but you, aren't you?Then I simply don't say anything, it's useless anyway.

This is good, and it confirmed Xiu Ni's image of a heartless person, so she insisted on going to Cheng Nuo for comment.

Fortunately, Cheng Nuo got off work early enough, so he saw this scene after opening the door.

"Sir, if you don't know this man from my family, he is not a good guy. I was cooking at home, but he went outside to hook up with wild foxes, and he deliberately angered me when he came back late. You have to judge me carefully! "Seeing Cheng Nuo come back, Xiu Ni cried out.

Although Cheng Nuo was still a little confused, it was obviously uncomfortable to see Xiu Ni's hands still tied in knots around Li Laosan's ears, glowing red as if scalded by boiling water.

"Sister-in-law, if we have something to say, listen to my advice, can you let go first?"

At this time, Xiu Ni realized that she was still twisting her ear in her hand. Although she was a little distressed, but thinking of the other party's "betrayal" to her, she couldn't help turning her hand half a circle before letting go. .

In this half circle, the corners of Li Laosan's mouth twitched in pain, and he turned his face away in anger, not wanting to look at his wife.

Cheng Nuo himself had just left the single, and basically had no experience in dealing with emotional disputes.

But based on his understanding of Li Laosan, he wouldn't really do anything stupid, so he first asked the reason, and he understood what was going on in a few words, but in the end it was just a misunderstanding.

This time it was good, it was Xiu Ni's turn to blush, but this time she was not out of anger, but out of embarrassment.

"I've told you a long time ago that things are not as you imagined, but you are a stickler. You have to think that I'm bad. It's my husband who judged us. If you leave outsiders, you will be laughed at long ago. I lost my teeth." Li Laosan snorted coldly.

Xiu Ni lowered her head, holding the corner of her apron in her hand: "I...I know I was wrong, next time you tell me in advance, I don't have to worry about you. So what, sir, I still have steamed buns in the pot, Let's go see if the fire is out."

After saying this, Xi Xi turned his head and hurried towards the kitchen.

Looking at the back of his mother-in-law, Li Laosan hated iron and said: "It's really long hair, but short knowledge!"

Cheng Nuo shook his head helplessly, patted the other party's arm to persuade him, "Okay, it's all over, just talk about it, but then again, Lao Li, why are you going to the firearms camp if you have nothing to do?"

Back to the business, Li Laosan's mood eased a lot. Seeing that no one was paying attention, he secretly pulled Cheng Nuo to the backyard, and said mysteriously to the crop straw: "Sir, this is what I've been busy with these days." ?”

"Is it just these straws?" Cheng Nuo was a little surprised and asked in confusion, "Are you planning to stockpile firewood? Or use it to burn it to ashes to pickle salted duck eggs?"

Misunderstood again and again, Li Laosan couldn't sit still: "No, it's not, everything is hidden under it, it's just for me to cover up, and the bottom is the good stuff."

As he said that, Li Laosan directly carried the crop straws to the side, and after a while, he left behind neatly stacked pieces of building materials, including tiger skin stones, steles, stone steps, etc., and even a pile of stone lions. A few stone plaques come.

"Where did these things come from? Could it be that they were all obtained from the firearms camp?" Cheng Nuo was surprised when he saw these historical things.

Patting these solid porcelain guys, Li Laosan said with some pride: "Sir, you don't know, the houses in the firearms camp are all lived by the bannermen, with blue bricks and tiles all over the place, the bungalows facing the sun, and square bricks on the floor. , the courtyard wall is made of tiger skin stones, a specialty of Xishan Mountain, but right now the bannerman has no money, he is so poor that he can’t open the pot.”

Cheng Nuo came to his senses, "So you went and bought all their stuff?"

"That's not true." Li Laosan gasped and said with a smile: "Since the Manchu Dynasty disappeared, the rations of the banner people have also disappeared, and the payment has been changed from once a month to once every three or four months. By this year, it has completely disappeared, but people can't starve to death, can they?
Those bannermen living in Huoqiying didn’t have any skills, so they were able to dismantle and sell house materials. They even sold out the tiger skin stones for the courtyard walls. I think it’s really cheap, not more expensive than the green bricks we burn at home. Wherever we go, we will buy more while we are late. If there are too many people who know about it later, we will not be able to buy it. "

Looking at the youngest Li, whose eyes were full of radiance, Cheng Nuo couldn't help but give a thumbs up: "Okay, Lao Li, I'm going to go to another place, your brain is so bright, even I can't think of it. This stubble."

The reason why Li Laosan blushed this time was not because of ear pain, he grinned and said: "Sir, you are usually busy with important affairs, so you can't see such corners in your eyes. I was also thinking about the last time we went to buy land. See Zai Tao and his few stones that you like, so I want to pay more attention to them."

In order to prove his words, Li Laosan simply put his hands together, breathed into his palms, and then moved out the pair of stone lions.

With such a heavy thing, Cheng Nuo was not willing to let the other party really move it, so he quickly stopped him: "It's good here, you don't have to really move it, you still have a heart, Lao Li."

However, after Li Laosan mentioned it, Cheng Nuo still remembered Zai Tao, and it was time to contact him for something.After a few words of encouragement, Cheng Nuo found a reason to leave.

Seeing his husband go away, thinking back to what he praised just now, Li Laosan was so happy in his heart.

While whistling, he covered the crop stalks again, and waited until the last piece was covered. After admiring the masterpiece and preparing to turn around and leave, he was startled by the sudden appearance.

But after seeing the person coming, his eyebrows still couldn't help but knotted, and he was about to leave with a cold snort.

The person who came was none other than Xiu Ni who had just knotted his ears.

"Are your ears okay?" Xiu Ni asked concerned after she caught up.

"Hmph, I'm fine, you don't know yet?" Li Laosan couldn't help touching his ear, and Li Laosan suddenly felt a burning pain on it.

"It's all my fault. I made a joke on you without asking any questions." Xiu Ni wanted to touch that ear, but it hurt him again, so she stretched her hand back timidly, thinking about it Take off the headscarf and put it on for the other party.

Li Laosan was a little confused now: "What are you doing?"

Xiu Ni was still busy with the movements in her hands: "It's cold, your ears should be frozen when the wind blows. I don't want my child's father to lose an ear."

It's not over yet, at the end, I don't know where to take out a fiery egg, stuffed it to Li Laosan and said: "Hey, the red-skinned eggs just laid by the hens at home today, besides the husband and the dolls, this is for you." You."

After saying this, he turned around and left without giving the other party a chance to refute.

Feeling the warmth of the egg in the palm of his hand, Li Laosan's heart that was so cool just now immediately became hot, and he tore off the turban on his head, and chased after his mother-in-law:
"What does your lord look like wearing a mother-in-law's headscarf? I don't like to eat eggs. Next time, if there are too many, you can keep them. It's good to hold a little chick in spring. You won't be able to live when you see it!"

"You know how to live? If you don't have a rooster, you are a widow. How can you hatch a chick? My headscarf is ugly, and I bought that too!"

"Just wait, when I come back from work tomorrow, I will pull a piece of foreign cloth for you..."

The next day, Cheng Nuo found Zai Tao, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, early in the morning. He didn't expect to see him helping others at the door of his house.

Cheng Nuo didn't show up until the work over there was over.

"Mr. Zai, long time no see."

"Cheng...President Cheng?!" Zai Tao looked very excited when he saw the person coming, and he wanted to go up to greet him from a long distance: "Why are you here? If you want to come, you can just let me know, so I can receive you too." , or simply I will come to you directly, it will be more convenient!"

Cheng Nuo waved his hands again and again, and said with a smile, "I don't dare to take it, it seems that I am too rude, but you are still busy just now?"

Seeing the direction in which those people left just now, Zai Tao put away his smile and sighed: "Oh, the world is different now, it's no longer realistic to sit and wait for someone to deliver food to your door. Do you have any relatives, and you want to sell me something so that you can exchange some money."

Although he knows that Zai Tao has some research on cultural relics, he also knows the economic strength of the other party at the moment. Even if someone sells him a good thing, he probably doesn't have much money to buy it. Why would he want to sell it to him, so he wondered: " If it’s a big piece, someone’s bid will be higher than ours, right?”

Unexpectedly, Zai Tao smiled wryly and said: "The dealers who buy antiquities are also good people. They have joined hands to lower the price. My banner people say that they don't know the dangers of society at best, and they don't know the world at worst. Where are these people A fine opponent? If you have nowhere to go, you will find me."

This scene coincided with Cheng Nuo's thoughts, and he directly ordered Zai Tao to pay attention to these cultural relics.

It is too expensive to afford, but some historically significant materials that can verify certain historical facts can be considered.

After all, looking at it right now, it is the period when we leave a large number of cultural relics abroad. It is not Cheng Nuo's style to sit back and watch.

But this is only one of Cheng Nuolai's goals, the second is the key.

"Mr. Zai, do you know that the Nobel Prize has been announced now, the Physics Prize is awarded by Planck, and who is the one who awards the Chemistry Prize?"
