Chapter 60 Life
“Tell me, this cat came to Jia’s house because it was wronged.”
“Come and settle the score!”
Hiss
Hiss
There was a gasp at the scene.
In this era, some rural legends are still very popular, especially in some rural areas, where many people believe in such stories.
“You mean, this cat came to take revenge on the Jia family?”
“It’s very possible, cats are very spiritual these days.”
“Yes, it’s a civet cat. Last year, my aunt's cousin met Wong Tai Sin on the way. His legs looked like those of a human being, and he was about to become a spirit."
One person lowered his voice and said that these days, propaganda of feudal superstition requires ideological education, and in serious cases, people have to be paraded through the streets.
But now, isn’t everything happening in front of me the highest proof?
There are more and more people saying this, and their voices are getting louder and louder.
"What about the uncle? This is too unfair."
Someone shouted again.
"Bah, what's wrong? He was the one who made the noise. If there weren't so many people at the door, he would have been scratched behind the stupid pillar. Doesn't this just illustrate the problem?"
Someone said immediately, This made Yi Zhonghai in the middle of the yard even more angry and uncomfortable. Jia Zhang also shuddered when she heard the discussions of the people around her, especially those involving the civet's revenge. I dare not say more, for fear that this kind of weird thing will happen again.
Qin Huairu also listened to everyone's discussion, and couldn't help but feel scared in her heart. It was said that this idea was also hers, and she was naturally scared if she had something in her heart.
After a while, Silly Zhu went to borrow a taxi outside the alley, and then he and Jia Dongxu took Jia Zhang and the first man to the clinic.
Seeing that the rightful owner left, the people in the yard dispersed. Those who were frightened at night were all very sleepy now, so everyone went back to their homes.
Yang Xiaotao didn't expect that it was just a matter of venting anger. After being processed by everyone in the Siheyuan, it turned out to be a big drama of civet revenge. I really admire the talents of the Siheyuan.
After saying hello to Uncle Chen, Yang Xiaotao went home.
Everyone saw what happened today. Although they didn’t know how the cat got in, in such a short period of time, Yang Xiaotao had a sufficient alibi.
Besides, the wild cat is not dead, and will it be easy for you to handle and throw it in?
In short, everyone has reached a conclusion in their hearts, that is, the Jia family has provoked something dirty.
The next day, when Yang Xiaotao went to work again, he saw Yi Zhonghai with a bandage on his head and walking slowly.
I heard from people in the yard that they both came back in the morning. Jia Zhang was bitten on the wrist and tore off a piece of flesh. It was quite serious. She received an injection and needs to rest for a while. She cannot be seen. You can't hold heavy objects while wearing water, and you have to go to the hospital for a review.
Just as Jia Zhang wanted to do, he could eat and drink at home without having to work.
But I heard that the Jia family spent a lot of money this time, including tetanus and rabies vaccines. The base price was four yuan, and I don’t know how much it will cost in the future.
But it hurt Jia Zhang so much that Qin Huairu lost the smile she used to have on her face.
How much can I eat if I replace it with meat? If I buy this food, I can eat it for several days.
But this time when she came back, Jia Zhang became silent. When she returned to the yard, she didn't act like before and stayed at home honestly.
Obviously, he was also shaken by what happened last night.
Yang Xiaotao also knows that people like Jia Zhang are hard-wired, they just suffered a shortcoming and learned a lesson, and they are by no means a person with a long memory.
Ignoring the Jia family's affairs, Yang Xiaotao went to work as usual, made meals, and read books in his free time.
Nowadays, credits have more and more uses, and there are all kinds of things that appear in the redemption column. If you want to buy good things, you must have enough credits.
And he also wants to take a step forward in this year's assessment and become a third-level fitter. Not to mention the salary and benefits, life will be better.
In the afternoon, he still had some exchanges with workers. Yang Xiaotao found that in the process, the problems raised by workers could also improve his work ability in the process of solving them.
This may be the principle of "reviewing the past and learning the new".
After get off work, I went to the supply and marketing cooperative to buy a piece of glass, and then returned home and replaced it with the newly broken one.
There was silence in the whole yard. Perhaps the impact of the Jia family's affairs was too great, so that people who were usually very active had stopped thinking about causing trouble. Even Xu Damao went home directly after get off work, and his enemy Silly Zhu didn't even think about it. Say one more thing.
This was the case for the next few days, and Yang Xiaotao didn't think it was bad.
At least in his opinion, it is quite good to live in this quadrangle with the door closed for personal care.
Finally it’s the end of the month and it’s time to pay wages.
I cleaned up my work in the morning, then followed everyone to the canteen to eat, and then received my salary.
Have the afternoon off.
Yang Xiaotao queued up early, and when he got his second-level salary, he went to Quanjude for a meal.
I have never been to this world before. I didn’t have much money before, but now that I have money, I naturally want to see more.
Coming to the window, the accountant had already put the prepared wages in front.
Yang Xiaotao took it out of the envelope and saw three big black tens plus three yuan and fifty cents, a large stack of food stamps and non-staple food stamps, and finally half a catty of meat stamps.
Yang Xiaotao nodded briefly and put it in his pocket, then greeted Wang Fa and others and left the factory together.
When passing by the team, looking at Jia Dongxu's eyes filled with jealousy and resentment, I felt inexplicably comfortable.
After dinner, Yang Xiaotao went to Huaqing Pool. There was a bustle of people, and many people took off their clothes and took a dip in the pool.
Now that there is no bathroom at home, I can only take a shower secretly, and I have to worry about the danger of being a hooligan.
When he came to this courtyard world, Yang Xiaotao only washed his hair a few times, but didn’t really take a shower.
Enjoy the master's craftsmanship and leave feeling several pounds lighter.
When I came to a nearby barber shop, the young master held a clipper in his hand. When using this thing, you need to keep clenching and loosening it with your hands before you can lose hair. Yang Xiaotao saw it when he was going to the market when he was young. Later, the barber shop was no longer needed.
The silver-white hair clippers buzzed in the master's hands, and the hair that had grown for several months fell off. A cold feeling continued to surround my head. After a while, he was shaved into a standard crew cut.
Next, the master shaved the cheeks and the back of the head with a shaving knife a few times, and then trimmed the nose hair. As for the beard, Yang Xiaotao didn’t want to keep it. He didn’t want to be like Xu Damao, who had two tufts. Mustache.
The whole process is short and smooth.
I have to say that the masters of this era are real masters and have skills.
Yang Xiaotao walked out of the barber shop, looking relaxed, then looked at the sky and went to the library.
I took the bus twice and took out the books from last time and returned them. Then I stayed in the library for a while and found a few mechanical books. I checked out the books in the evening.
These days of reading have also allowed Yang Xiaotao to find some patterns.
That is, in a good reading environment, you will gain more experience than usual by reading through it. Among them, the library is the most suitable for reading.
The next thing is home. Although it is very noisy in the courtyard, with Xiaowei's help, the sound insulation effect of the house is good.
Finally, there are noisy environments, such as in courtyards, workshops, etc.
There were not many people in the library, and the old master who applied for the library card also looked familiar to Yang Xiaotao.
The old master also saw that Yang Xiaotao really liked reading, because everyone else came here to find information for a purpose, but this guy just looked everywhere he went, and the books he borrowed were also in a mess.
"Master Gu, thank you!"
Yang Xiaotao came to the table holding a stack of books of different sizes and said with a smile.
"Hey, did you read the mechanical book?"
Master Gu knew what kind of book it was at a glance.
I don’t know if this kid can really read it or just read it as a book.
"Can you see in?"
"Master Gu, don't underestimate people. I am a second-level fitter after all."
Master Gu smiled and finished registering him. Then he said, "A fitter is a fitter."
Yang Xiaotao didn't care after hearing this, and walked out of the library holding the book.
When I came to a place where no one was around, I threw the book into the storage space, and then took out a handful of spiced melon seeds, which I had redeemed earlier. In order to save convenience and trouble, I burned the packaging directly. , just do it when needed.
Following my memory, I came to Quanjude, and before I even sat down when I walked in, I found that the place was already full of people.
“These days, there are many people who can afford to eat and those who cannot afford to eat.”
The attitude of the waiter is very good. It is obvious that he has received professional training and is not like the group at the supply and marketing cooperative. uncle.
Yang Xiaotao ordered a roast duck and several side dishes, which cost three yuan and eight cents, which was very expensive.
I don’t plan to eat here, I just pack it up and go home.
Carrying the tempting roast duck along the way attracted many people’s attention.
When they arrived at the entrance of the alley, Yan Fugui saw Yang Xiaotao in the front yard, walking over with a roast duck side dish in one hand and a book in the other.
Then he stared at the roast duck in his right hand.
"Xiao Tao, have you been paid? This is to improve your life."
Yan Fugui pushed up his glasses and looked at the brand new Yang Xiaotao, hiding his desire, blocking the door and saying With.
Yang Xiaotao knew who these three uncles were and had nothing to hide. He raised the roast duck in his hand and said, "Isn't this a salary payment? Improve the food. Buy the roast duck from Quanjude and try it."
< br>When the third uncle heard the Quanjude roast duck, his stomach growled immediately.
The last time I ate roast duck was when I had a second dick. Life was affluent then, but now.
It has been so long ago that I can only recall it.
Looking at Yang Xiaotao, Yan Fugui swallowed what he wanted to say. These days, he also understood that Yang Xiaotao just wanted to live his own life alone.
He won't provoke anyone, but whoever provokes him will wait for revenge.
He even thought that Yang Xiaotao was behind the bizarre events in the Jia family a few days ago, which made him strengthen his inner opinion.
Don’t mess with Yang Xiaotao.
"Yes, after getting paid and eating something good, it's always like this these days."
Yan Fugui said and opened the door, which surprised Yang Xiaotao.
This calculating person has changed his temper today and stopped being greedy for petty gains?
Thinking in my mind, as I walked into the middle courtyard, more people noticed that Yang Xiaotao was a young man today, and he became more energetic after picking up today.
Coupled with Xiaowei's help, Yang Xiaotao's body gradually became stronger and had a strong and sunny flavor.
Jia Zhang was sitting at the door basking in the sun as usual. Her wrist was injured and she even skipped the pretentious insoles.
Looking at Yang Xiaotao walking in, the greed in his eyes has not diminished, but his cursing voice is three points weaker than before.
Yang Xiaotao knew that the old pious woman must have been frightened and did not dare to behave like a monster, so she walked home proudly.
Behind him, many people were chattering in the yard. Some were talking about how Yang Xiaotao was doing, some were talking about why Mrs. Jia Zhang didn’t open her mouth to curse today, and some were gossiping about that day.
The entire courtyard is a microcosm of society, but the people living here have more stories!
