Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 138

After clinking glasses with Xue Jianrong, Chu Xiangqian drank three more glasses in one go.

And the face is not red, the heart is not beating.

But Xue Jianrong's three cups of drinking made him a little uncomfortable, and the old lady who watched was busy winking at Xue Xueli.

Xue Xueli also knew at this time that Chu Xiangqian was definitely not bragging before, but it was impossible for him to admit defeat.

Moreover, anyway, he didn't drink it by himself, at worst, the two grandsons were drunk by the prospective brother-in-law.

Just when Chu Xiangqian picked up a bottle of wine and was about to open it, he suddenly saw Xue Jinglan looking at him worriedly.

Chu froze for a few seconds, then naturally put the wine bottle back on the table, picked up the chopsticks and started eating.

The old lady, Tan Youli and Xue Hongmei couldn't help laughing.

Secretly, a girl is lucky to meet a man who knows how to love her and is willing to take care of her feelings.

Xue Xueli and Xue Xiaomin, father and son, also saw their daughter's little actions, and were naturally very satisfied with Chu Xiangqian's actions.

Xue Jianrong and Xue Jianguo had long been intimidated by Chu Xiangqian's aura of 1 catty and 8 taels just now. Seeing that Chu Xiangqian didn't pour any more wine, they both breathed a sigh of relief.

He secretly thought that he would never drink with Chu Xiangqian again, and then he wondered if his old man would take Chu Xiangqian out for a drink.

But in the future, I will definitely drag him to the banquet.

Xue Xueli glanced at his daughter Xue Hongmei, Xue Hongmei smiled and saw what his father meant.

He smiled and asked Chu Xiangqian, "Qianqian, don't you drink now?"

Chu Xiangqian twitched the corner of his mouth a few times, waved his hand and said, "Don't drink, don't drink, lest I won't be able to get up tomorrow and delay work."

Seeing that everyone's eyes were on her, Xue Jinglan felt happy, but her ears and neck turned red from embarrassment.

After everyone had finished eating, after several women entered the kitchen, Tan Youli held Xue Jinglan's hand, seeing that her daughter did not intend to break free.

I was both happy and unhappy in my heart, secretly thinking that I really have a sweetheart, and I immediately wanted to perform better.

Even past problems can be cured in an instant.

But in the end it was her own mother, she asked in a low voice, "Lan Lan, what do you think of Xiao Chu?"

The old lady and Xue Hongmei hurriedly pricked up their ears, and saw Xue Jinglan's face was blushing, he hesitated for a while, and then whispered, "Mom, he doesn't smell bad. And some habits can't be pretended."

As soon as the three old ladies heard it, they knew that there was nothing wrong with their girl.

Now it depends on whether Chu Xiangqian really doesn't mind or pretends not to mind.

In the living room, Chu Xiangqian didn't perform too well in front of Xue Xueli's grandfather and grandson.

Even when chatting and drinking tea, on some things, even if they know it, they can tell one thing or two, but deliberately show that they don't understand.

Although the grandparents and grandchildren of the Xue family were a little disappointed, they felt relieved.

Until Xue Xiaomin took the initiative to bring up the matter of hunting in order to prevent Chu Xiangqian from being embarrassed, Chu Xiangqian didn't talk much, and kept being modest, saying that 7% of himself depended on luck, and the rest was real skill.

Only then did Xue Xueli and Xue Xiaomin realize that Chu Xiangqian was actually a humble master.

Chu Xiangqian got two wild boars, three wolves, and a leopard for the steel rolling mill for three days last week, how could he hide it from his father and son.

Since Chu Xiangqian even said that what he is best at is luck, then his performance just now should be hiding his clumsiness.

Xue Xiaomin couldn't help but frowned slightly. Normally, the prospective son-in-law behaved like this, but he couldn't find him with a lantern.

But as a father, he felt that Chu Xiangqian had such thoughts when he was less than 20 years old, and he seemed a little scheming.

On the contrary, Xue Xueli didn't take it seriously, and said with a smile, "Xiao Chu, it's getting late, let Lan Lan take you to the gate."

Chu Xiangqian hurriedly got up, and under the watchful eyes of the Xue family, he watched Xue Jinglan and Chu Xiangqian go out the door one after the other.

Naturally, Chu Xiangqian would not go directly to the gate of this compound.

Instead, he took the initiative to say, "Comrade Xue, I just had a full meal, why don't we take a walk in this yard?"

Xue Jinglan was taken aback for a moment, but then she was overjoyed.

Nodding slightly, she followed Chu Xiangqian and wandered around the compound.

Fortunately, it was winter at this time, and there were basically no pedestrians to be seen at night. The two chatted while walking, and they talked more and more as they talked.

As soon as I said this, I didn't feel how fast the time passed.

When Xue Jianguo came out to call Xue Jinglan, Chu Qiang glanced at his watch, and it was already past 10 o'clock.

He had no choice but to send Xue Jinglan home, watched her enter the house, and then bid farewell to Xue Jianguo, and rode his bicycle back to the courtyard.

A big front door was given to the third master who opened the door. Chu Xiangqian pushed his bicycle and was about to go back to his house when he heard Yan Fugui say, "Xiao Chu, the neighborhood committee came to the door today and said that this sparrow is no longer one of the four evils. Got bedbugs.

Also, our yard still has to catch a hundred mice and hand them in this year.You and the three brothers Aiguo and Aimin, like other households, just hand in 10 mice. "

Chu Xiangqian silently calculated that there were originally 17 households in this yard. After Liu Yifa left, he and Ai Guo Ai Min moved in again.

It is equal to 18 households.

But the deaf old lady definitely couldn't let her catch mice, so she nodded silently and said, "Okay, these two days I'll let Aiguo and Aimin go outside to make some mouse traps."

Yan Fugui originally thought about asking Chu Xiangqian to borrow Da Zhuang and Hongniu's envoys, but when he saw Chu Xiangqian say that, he suddenly didn't know how to speak.

And when Chu Xiangqian returned home, he asked Titmouse to go around and catch mice.

Don't look at the tits that look like ornamental birds, but this little thing has a constitution of 2.5, a strength of 1.1, and agility of 4.5.

Don't talk about catching mice, let it catch foxes and lynxes.

In just half an hour, not only did ten mice be caught, but they were even carried by their claws. The mice whose heads had been pecked out flew back to the yard and were still in the corner of the east wing.

Chu Xiangqian put it in a waste dustpan when he went out, and left it alone in the corner.

After 12 o'clock, I took Chickadee into Novice Village, and after easily clearing out the refreshed items in the game, Chickadee successfully upgraded to level 7.

Without much thought, I added a little agility to the tit.

Then he lay in the fountain pool, thinking of Xue Jinglan, and fell asleep without knowing it.

The next morning, when Chu Xiangqian woke up from Xinshou Village, not only did he not feel that he had caught a cold, but he felt refreshed all over.

Putting on the clothes and the holster, I was about to go to work on the street when I went out, but when I looked at the corner from the corner of my eyes, I suddenly found that there seemed to be four or five mice missing from the ten mice caught by the chickadee last night.

Chu Xiangqian's first reaction was that the mouse had been stolen.

But if you think about it seriously, the Pirate Saint of the Siheyuan is still a five or six-year-old doll at this time, and it is impossible to go out at night.

Taking a closer look around the broken dustpan, I soon found that a few hairs had fallen on the cracks in the dustpan.

Needless to say, it should have been stolen by a stray cat.

Chu Xiangqian shook his head helplessly, and blamed himself for not putting the ten mice into the house last night.

Just when he was about to let it go, he suddenly saw a black cat staring at him on the courtyard wall. Chu Xiangqian immediately guessed that it was the black cat that had stolen his mouse.

Just as he was about to drive the cat away, he suddenly saw that the black cat had a distended belly.

After looking carefully for a few seconds, Chu Xiangqian was sure that there should be a baby in the black cat's belly.

After thinking about it, it was easy for the chickadee to catch mice anyway, so he threw the dustpan back to the corner, got on the bicycle and let it go.

When he reached the street, he was stopped by the old man Sun, the guard, "Xiao Chu, are those two dogs good at catching mice?"

After listening to Chu Xiangqian, he understood that it is everyone's task to eliminate the four evils.

He smiled and said, "How many have been assigned to you in your yard?"

Old man Sun smiled a little embarrassedly. Originally, he only needed to get 2 mice. After all, he was old and it was not his turn to go out to catch mice at night.

But I shouldn't, I shouldn't, after returning home from get off work yesterday, when I played chess with some old men, I didn't know who started it, but I actually played with mice.

Then I have the task of 12 mice on my body.

Ten years ago, old man Sun would never ask Chu Xiangqian for help, but now, his health is indeed not as good as before.

In addition to Chu Xiangqian's two hunting dogs, wild boars and wolves can be killed, and rats must be no problem.

Someone could do it for him, so old man Sun naturally didn't want to go out to catch mice at night.

Chu Xiangqian heard that old man Sun wanted 12, and out of the desire to make friends with him, he agreed immediately.

Seeing that Chu Xiangqian agreed so readily, old man Sun immediately smiled, and then said in a low voice, "I heard that there is a lot of rats at the grain station.

Only then did the superiors assign the task of catching mice.

If your two hounds are really good at catching mice, you might as well tell the director and ask for help.When you go to collect food in the future, keep it to get the best. "

Chu Xiangqian knew that old man Sun was paying him back for helping him catch mice, so he nodded after thinking about it.

Let's not talk about getting the food first, you can get the best ones, just building a good relationship with the food station may be useful in the future.

Entering the office, I saw Fang Xiaosheng and Chen Daliang sitting on their seats with tired faces and yawning.

Judging from this, the two should have been staring outside last night.

Just after saying hello, Xue Hongmei walked in hurriedly.

Seeing Chu Xiangqian, Xue Hongmei couldn't help smiling, pulled Chu Xiangqian out of the office, and whispered, "Qianqian, the old lady said last night, if you are free, go and see her more, you know?"

Chu Xiangqian nodded hurriedly, knowing that the old lady was asking him to look for Xue Jinglan more.

Then he asked Xue Hongmei, "Girl, I heard from the doorman, Uncle Sun, that the grain station has been plagued by rats recently?"

Xue Hongmei nodded, and then her eyes lit up, "Go forward, Uncle Sun is reminding you, you don't need your two hounds to help the grain station get rid of the rat infestation.

You don't need to stare at the grain station every day, as long as the two hounds catch a few mice every night, the number will be considerable in a month, which is not a big deal. "

After finishing speaking, Xue Hongmei pulled Chu forward and walked forward, "I'll take you to see the director, and try to let your two hounds go to the grain station to be on duty tonight."

Chu Xiangqian hurriedly followed, but after a few steps, Xue Hongmei stopped by herself, looked at Chu Xiangqian and asked solemnly, "Qianqian, are you sure that your two hounds can really catch mice?"

In this regard, Chu Xiangqian has full confidence.

Except for the mice hiding in the mouse holes, as long as the mice appear in the grain station, they will definitely not be able to escape the pursuit of Da Zhuang and Hong Niu.

No matter how bad it is, there are long-tailed tits.

After being chased by a peregrine falcon, the chickadee quickly learned how to pounce and stun its prey.

To deal with mice, as long as they rush over at a very fast speed, use two sharp claws to squeeze the head of the mouse, or even just the body, and the mouse can be injured or killed.

Judging from the record of killing 10 mice last night, the Chickadee worked for an hour.

Not to mention a dozen mice a night, as long as the number of mice is sufficient, one or two hundred mice a night is not difficult.

It's just that Chu Xiangqian faintly sensed that this matter was not that simple.

When I arrived at the director's office, I didn't see anyone again, but Xue Hongmei couldn't be bothered.

I went to the communication room and made a phone call. I didn't expect that the district was also angry about this matter. I was thinking about mobilizing some people from various units to go to the grain station, and how many mice could be caught.

Hearing that Chu Xiangqian offered to let his two hounds stay at the food station to help at night, the director of the street, Cao Guanglin, naturally welcomed him with both hands.

However, Cao Guanglin repeatedly told him to be serious and responsible on the phone.

Chu Xiangqian immediately became alert, secretly thinking that Cao Guanglin must have something to say.

Maybe the people above have also noticed something abnormal. After all, the loss of the grain station is huge to a certain extent.

It's just that it should have been unable to find out the problem, so it has been suppressed.

Chu Xiangqian secretly thought that when he went this time, he would only let Da Zhuang and Hong Niu catch mice at night on the surface, but secretly let the long-tailed tits keep an eye on the grain station all the time.

Only a few seconds later, Chu Xiangqian sighed again.

If there are really big rats, and the higher-ups want to exterminate them with great fanfare, those big rats will naturally die down.

Otherwise, it would be hitting the muzzle.

In other words, when I went to the grain station this time, maybe I really just went to catch some mice.

He got on his bicycle and went out of the street. In a deserted alley, he released a titmouse to look around, and then released Da Zhuang and Hong Niu.

Ten minutes later, I went to the grain station and talked to the guard. Not long after, I saw a middle-aged man walking out of the office building with two young men.

After introducing each other, Chu Xiangqian realized that the middle-aged man was called Ke Ze, and he was the deputy head of the grain station.

Looking at the expressions of the other two young people, Chu Xiangqian knew that they did not welcome him.

Chu Xiangqian didn't care. If it were him, he wouldn't want outsiders to take care of the troubles he didn't.

In addition to losing face, people may also see their own internal problems.

When Chu Xiang went to the grain station, he only looked at a few granaries, and soon found that things were not as simple as imagined.

The people at the food station are not stupid, and people have long thought of using cats and dogs to deal with the troubles that cannot be solved by manpower.

It's a pity that no matter how powerful cats and dogs are, they can't make holes, and the effect is not as good as expected.

Moreover, when faced with a mountain of grain piles, the dog was directly crippled, unable to catch up with the mice on the grain pile.

In the case of cats, mice only need to drill into the grain pile, and there is nothing they can do about them.

Chu Xiangqian shook his head helplessly, secretly thinking that he should just put on a show.

Secretly let the chickadee stare at the grain depot, waiting for a rat to appear.

At around ten o'clock that night, Chu Xiangqian closed the door and lay down in the Xinshou Village fountain to take a bath, but his eyes were on the long-tailed tit.

Da Zhuang and Hong Niu were arranged by the staff of the grain station to let them wander around.
