Era: My backyard is the garbage dump of the universe

Chapter 372: Is Xiao Nuomi in danger?

"Of course I am sure. If you don't believe me, you can ask my dad." Tao Yu replied, "Now you should take the money and sell me this half bag of rice."

"Yes! Yes! You don't like it anyway." Bai Yuzhen agreed.

"Who said I don't like it?" Wu snatched the half bag of rice from Tao Yu's hand, then blushed and said hesitantly: "I... I... I just... didn't understand the situation here."

Wang Miaomiao also lowered her head in embarrassment, not knowing what to do for a moment.

This matter is also her fault, otherwise it wouldn't have turned out like this.

Bai Yuzhen laughed out loud at this scene: "Aunt Wu, now that you have figured out the situation, what are you going to do?"

Tao Yu also had a teasing look on his face.

"I...I..." After Wu opened her mouth, she also smiled awkwardly: "Yuzhen, tell me the truth, what is the background of Wang Kuisan's eldest brother? Why did he give such good rice as a gift?"

If it were any other family, they wouldn't be so generous when they first met. In other words, she couldn't be blamed for this misunderstanding. If anyone was to blame, it should be blamed on Third Brother Wang Kui for not playing by the rules.

Wang Miaomiao also pricked up her ears, wanting to hear where Third Brother Wang Kui came from.

Bai Yuzhen glanced at Tao Yu, and when she saw that Tao Yu didn't say anything, she replied, "Third Brother Wang Kui is just a sand pit owner, and his background is not that great, but his wife Liu Chunhua has a very powerful backer. The rice that Miaomiao brought back was from Liu Chunhua's family."

"Let me tell you this! If Wang Kuisan really likes your daughter Miaomiao, as long as Liu Chunhua is willing, she can tell her family and have Miaomiao transferred back to her original unit." Tao Yu also said.

"Is this true?" Wu gasped, "Then... who is Liu Chunhua's backer?"

"I can't tell you that." Bai Yuzhen said repeatedly.

"If your Miaomiao can be with Wang Kuisan in the future, she will know. You'd better not ask too much now." Tao Yu reminded.

"Okay!" Wu smiled awkwardly: "Then what should I do next?"

There is something hidden in his words, which means that he is very satisfied with Wang Kuisan's conditions.

Tao Yu had been in the officialdom for many years, so he could naturally understand: "What else can I do? Wang Kuisan gave me half a bag of such good rice, so of course you have to give me something in return."

"If Wang Kuisan accepts it, then Miaomiao and Wang Kuisan's relationship will most likely be successful."

"If you don't want it, then you have to return this half bag of rice."

"By the way! When Wang Kuisan gave you half a bag of rice, Miaomiao, you didn't give him a cold shoulder, did you?" Bai Yuzhen also asked.

"No...no." Wang Miaomiao said repeatedly.

In fact, there are.

But she was sure that Wang Kuisan, who was driving, didn't notice it.

"If not, then you can come with me to Wang Fugui's house for a banquet tomorrow. Wang Kuisan, Wang Kuiwu and Liu Chunhua will definitely be there. This will create an opportunity to get in touch with their family." Tao Yu reminded.

"Okay! Okay!" Wang Miaomiao nodded repeatedly.

"Then we'll leave first." Wu carried half a bag of rice, said something to Tao Yu and Bai Yuzhen, and then took Wang Miaomiao home.

After returning home, in order to prevent Tao Yu from cheating her, Wu scooped a small bowl of rice, no! A small bowl of fragrant rice poured into the iron pot for cooking.

"Mom, do you smell the fragrance?" Wang Miaomiao on the side sniffed.

"I smell it. It seems to be coming from the rice." Mrs. Wu replied.

"What do you mean by 'seems'? It is." Wang Miaomiao corrected him, "The rice smells so good even before it's cooked. I'm afraid it will taste as good as Uncle Tao said after it's cooked."

"That's not necessarily true. Fragrant rice usually smells good, but it doesn't taste that good." Mrs. Wu said as she washed the rice, then opened the lid of the coal stove and placed the iron pot on it.

In order to prevent being seen by Tao Yu and Bai Yuzhen, Wu quickly closed the door.

Ten minutes later, the fragrant aroma of rice wafted out of the steaming iron pot, and the neighbors passing by couldn't help but talk about it.

"Wow! What delicious food is Wu cooking tonight? It smells so good."

"It smells good, but they even closed the door. Are they trying to prevent us from stealing food?"

"Hahaha...can you please stop talking nonsense, kid?"

"Director Tao, can you tell me what delicious food does Wu cook at home?"

"Yes! I saw her coming out of your house carrying a big bag of things before, and Wang Miaomiao was following behind her."

……

Tao Yu, who was standing at the door, saw several neighbors looking at him. He frowned and was about to explain something, but Wu opened the door and said, "What are you gossiping about? I'm just cooking. Is this illegal?"

"Cooking?" Some neighbors didn't believe it.

"This is definitely not cooking. They must be stewing meat or cooking some delicacies." A neighbor walked directly into Wu's house and was stunned for a moment when he saw that they were really cooking.

Tao Yu shook his head when he saw this scene.

In order to avoid any accidents, he left quickly.

Mrs. Wu was so anxious that she pushed her neighbor out: "Do you see it clearly now? If you see it clearly, get out now."

"Wait." The neighbor couldn't help but ask curiously, "What kind of rice are you cooking? Why does it smell so good?"

The other neighbors also pricked up their ears with curiosity.

Some curious people even asked, "Where did you buy this fragrant rice? I'll go buy some to eat tomorrow."

"This was not bought, it was given to me by someone else," Wang Miaomiao explained.

"That's right, you can't buy it even if you have money." Mrs. Wu said and closed the door.

Neighbors: “…”

After coming to their senses, everyone couldn't help but talk about Wu:

"Isn't it just fragrant rice? What's so great about it?"

"Yeah! You're really stingy for not telling us where you bought it."

"I'll buy a bag tomorrow and eat it out of the door every day to piss you off to death!"

"They said you couldn't buy rice even if you had money. Now that we have reform and opening up, how can you not buy rice even if you have money?"

"That's right, that's right! What kind of person is that!"

……

Although Mrs. Wu looked a little unhappy when she heard what the neighbors said, she didn't say much.

After all, the current troubles were all caused by her own fault.

Seeing that the rice in the iron pot was cooked and there was a faint smell of burning, she quickly came to her senses, turned off the stove, and moved the iron pot to the iron rack beside her.

After waiting for a while.

She took off the lid of the pot.

When she saw that the rice grains were full, which was very different from the rice she had made before, she even took a rice spoon to scoop some to taste the flavor.

"Mom? Is it delicious?" Wang Miaomiao couldn't help but ask.

"It's delicious. The rice is really as soft, sticky and sweet as Tao Yu said. It's so delicious that I can eat two bowls without any side dishes." Mrs. Wu replied vaguely while eating the rice: "Miaomiao, hurry up and hide the remaining rice, otherwise your brother and sister-in-law will definitely take it all away when they come back."

"Okay! Okay!" Wang Miaomiao hurriedly ran to do as he was told.

However, before the rice was hidden, her brother pushed the door open and walked in: "Mom, I heard from Old Man Zhang that you were hiding at home eating delicious food, is that true?"

Wang Miaomiao: “…”

Wu: “…”

This damn old man Zhang, he just can’t stand to see her family doing well!

……

Around ten o'clock in the evening.

When Liu Qingsong saw that Xiao Nuomi, Yaomei and the others had fallen asleep, he immediately entered the garbage dump of all worlds.

In the Seven Realms Boat, in the main hall, the liquid robot and the Hulk are researching a miracle drug, while Arcee and Deadpool are training Little Blackie and Little Fat Tiger.

Seeing Liu Qingsong coming in, the liquid robot put down the vessel in his hand and said, "There is something going on with your elder sister. I think you need to investigate it."

"What's going on?" Liu Qingsong asked.

"Come with me." The liquid robot walked towards the glass warehouse.

Liu Qingsong followed behind, and then looked at the picture in the tracking mirror. In the picture, several middle-aged men were whispering and plotting something.

Because they were speaking a difficult dialect, Liu Qingsong had to take out his universal translator and put it on.

After the translation, Liu Qingsong's face changed as he listened. These middle-aged men were actually plotting to kidnap Xiao Nuomi at Wang Fugui's wedding banquet and then use her to threaten him.

These middle-aged men are all members of the Qin family. They have already pretended to be the woman's relatives and are living in Wang Fugui's home.

Wang Fugui is Wang Kuiwu's cousin and is currently doing charcoal business in Dayu City.

When at the Dongfanghong Farmers' Market, Liu Qingsong had met Wang Fugui several times. They were acquaintances, but not very familiar with each other.

But even if they were not familiar with each other, he would not watch Wang Fugui's wedding banquet being used by the Qin family like this.

After coming to his senses, Liu Qingsong turned to look at the liquid robot: "Do you know where Qin Haoran is now?"

For him, the Qin family has challenged his bottom line time and time again, and he will definitely not be merciful this time.

If one wants to cripple the Qin family, one naturally has to attack Qin Haoran.

"Qin Haoran is currently in Hong Kong Island with Yamada Keiichi. We can't do anything to him." The liquid robot said as it controlled the tracking mirror, and then retrieved the information of several middle-aged men who were planning to kidnap Xiao Nuomi: "I suggest you kill these people secretly this time. After all, tomorrow is Wang Guigui's wedding banquet. Even if we want to kill Qin Haoran, we won't have enough time."

"That's right." Liu Qingsong looked at the information in the tracking mirror.

After a moment, he remembered everything: "Then I'll go back to sleep first. If you have any questions, just ask Xiaojuzi to come to me."

He originally wanted to take action immediately to eliminate the hidden danger for Xiao Nuomi, but when he saw so many guests at Wang Fugui's house, he changed his mind and decided to wait until tomorrow.

"Okay!" The liquid robot nodded.

Liu Qingsong turned and walked towards the exit of the Wanjie garbage dump.

After a moment, it disappeared.

……

Early in the morning, Xiao Nuomi got up, changed into new clothes, and then, carrying his small schoolbag, skipped to find Liu Chunhua and Wang Kuiwu with his little sister.

Wang Kuiwu hadn't gotten up yet. When he saw Xiao Nuomi poking her head out and walking in through the door with a small schoolbag on her back, he couldn't help but ask in surprise, "What are you doing?"

"Isn't there a banquet today? Dad, why haven't you gotten up yet?" Little Nuomi asked back, tilting his head.

"The problem is that it's still early!" Wang Kuiwu smiled bitterly. With no other choice, he got up and went to the kitchen.

In the kitchen, Liu Chunhua was making breakfast.

Seeing Wang Kuiwu coming in, Lian asked in a low voice: "When did Kuisan come back last night? How is the matter between him and Wang Miaomiao going?"

"I don't know! I didn't see Kuisan last night." Wang Kuiwu said, picking up a handkerchief and scooping water to wash his face: "How about I go down and ask?"

"Okay." Liu Chunhua nodded.

She had to ask clearly, for she was afraid that the half bag of rice last night would cause unnecessary misunderstanding.

Seeing Xiao Nuomi and Yaomei also running into the kitchen, she quickly reached out and grabbed them, helping them wash their faces.

After washing, he was about to take it to the main room for breakfast when Wang Kuisan appeared, yawning: "Good morning, brother, good morning, sister-in-law."

"Good morning, where did you go last night? Did you stay at Wang Miaomiao's house and didn't come back?" Wang Kuiwu asked.

Liu Chunhua also looked at Wang Kuisan.

"No way, Wang Miaomiao took your half bag of rice last night and didn't say a word after returning." Wang Kuisan smiled bitterly and replied, "Brother, I'm afraid that my relationship with him is going to fail."

"Is...is it because of that half bag of rice?" Wang Kuiwu looked a little ugly.

"I don't know. Anyway, I had a good chat with Wang Miaomiao before, but she became silent after you gave her half a bag of rice." Wang Kuisan replied truthfully.

As soon as he said this, Wang Kuiwu couldn't help but slap himself in the face: "It's all my fault. I'm so mean and I'm giving away rice to others! Now, I've ruined your relationship with Wang Miaomiao."

"Brother, don't say that. I know you have good intentions and don't want this to happen at all." Wang Kuisan sighed, "It's also my fault that Wang Miaomiao and I are not destined to be together. Don't mention this matter again in the future."

"Okay!" Wang Kuiwu was helpless and felt very guilty.

Seeing this, Liu Chunhua didn't know what to say.

Instead, he took Xiao Nuomi and his youngest sister to the main room to have breakfast.

After breakfast, they took a walk around the battlefield, and then the family took a jeep to Wang Fugui's house to attend the wedding banquet.

Wang Fugui lives in Pangyu Village, one kilometer southeast of the Dongfanghong Farmers’ Market.

Pangyu Village was called Pangyu Production Team three months ago, and it was only recently changed.

Because it is close to the Dongfanghong Farmers’ Market, there are a lot of people here, from all over the world.

Most of them are vendors, and there are very few locals.

For example, Wang Fugui made money by selling charcoal at the Dongfanghong Farmers’ Market and bought a house in Pangyu Village, so he became a villager of Pangyu Village.

I have to mention here that Wang Fugui was able to buy a house in Pangyu Village because of the connections he made with Wang Kuiwu and Liu Chunhua.

Otherwise, in Dayu City in 1979, it would be extremely difficult for private individuals to buy a house in the city.

So Wang Kuiwu drove a jeep and appeared on the open space on the right side of the door with Liu Chunhua, Xiao Nuomi, Wang Kuisan and Yaomei. Wang Fugui greeted them warmly and gave them cigarettes, candies and red envelopes.

Among them, Xiao Nuomi’s red envelope was the chubbier one, and you could tell at a glance that there was a lot of it.

But before the little glutinous rice could even get warm, Liu Chunhua found an excuse to take it away.

This made Xiao Nuomi very unhappy, but she had no choice but to stuff all the cigarettes and candies in Wang Kuiwu and Wang Kuisan's hands into the small schoolbag she carried with her.

Wang Kuiwu waited until the tall and burly Wang Fugui walked away, and couldn't help asking, "Why did you put away my cigarettes?"

Wang Kuisan was also a little puzzled.

In the past, Xiao Nuomi had never done this.

"Put it away and give it to uncle." Little Nuomi replied, tilting his head.

"No...why?" Wang Kuiwu was so angry that he laughed.

"Because uncle is better than you and mommy. He takes me to banquets and never confiscates my red envelopes." After Xiao Nuomi said this, he took his little sister and ran away to the threshing ground to pick up firecrackers to play with.

Wang Kuiwu: “…”

"Hahaha..." Wang Kuisan burst into laughter.

Interesting, really interesting. It would be great if he had such a clever and quirky daughter in the future.

"What are you laughing at?" Wang Kuiwu, who was a little embarrassed, couldn't help but glared at Wang Kuisan: "Little Nuomi lives in his uncle's house every day and eats his uncle's food. Now he is being nice to his uncle, isn't that okay?"

"Okay! Okay!" Wang Kuisan echoed: "This proves that Xiao Nuomi is not an ungrateful person, and proves that you have abused Xiao Nuomi, otherwise..."

Before he could finish his words, Wang Kuiwu kicked Wang Kuisan.

Wang Kuisan was about to dodge, but the next second he showed a look of surprise: "Huh? This is really strange, why did Wang Miaomiao come to Wang Fugui's house for a banquet? What is her relationship with Wang Fugui?"

"Ah?" Wang Kuiwu looked up and saw the beautifully dressed Wang Miaomiao and Tao Yu getting out of the jeep one after the other. He also became puzzled: "I remember that Wang Fugui didn't have a relative like Wang Miaomiao? Could it be the woman's?"

"How about... I go and ask?" Wang Kuisan suggested.

"Why are you asking? Didn't you have a falling out with her yesterday over half a bag of rice? If you go and she ignores you, wouldn't it be embarrassing?" Wang Kuiwu whispered his concerns.

"That's right." Wang Kuisan nodded.

There were so many people present, and many of them were relatives I knew.

If Wang Miaomiao gave him the cold shoulder or pretended not to know her, he would not be able to afford to lose face, after all, he was the second boss of the battlefield.

However, what was unexpected was that as soon as the thought came to his mind, Wang Miaomiao actually walked towards the two brothers under the leadership of Tao Yu.

On the way, Wang Miaomiao greeted Xiao Nuomi with a smile and pinched Xiao Nuomi's chubby little face.

This made Wang Kuisan confused, and he couldn't figure out what Wang Miaomiao was doing.

Just as he was about to ask Wang Kuiwu in a low voice, Wang Miaomiao approached and waved at him, then asked with a smile: "Are you also having a banquet here today?"

"Well, what a coincidence." Wang Kuisan replied.

"It's quite a coincidence..." Wang Miaomiao saw that many people were looking at him and Wang Kuisan, and he became a little nervous for a moment: "How about we find a place to have a good chat alone?"
