As the darling of the family, Guan Ruijie has never done any work, but because of his eldest sister’s promise and his second sister’s guidance and help, he gradually became more and more comfortable in his work and became more and more confident. tidy.
More than an hour later, they finally arranged all the firewood, and Guan Ruijie even took the initiative to sweep the backyard.
It was past nine o'clock, there had been no movement in the village, and the shops had been closed. Guan Youshuang gave her brother a handful of candies and promised to take him to buy a gun tomorrow morning.

Gu Errong was still immersed in writing. Xie Yuanhang yawned repeatedly and asked him when he would get off work.
"You should go back first. I haven't finished writing yet. I will sleep in the office tonight."
"No, you haven't had any rest this week. Let's go and come early tomorrow. It's the same thing."
"No, I want to take leave tomorrow afternoon. I have to finish writing this report tonight. You can check it for me tomorrow morning. If there is no problem, I will hand it in."
"Aren't you getting married next Thursday? You asked for leave so early. Why do you miss your wife?"
"Fuck you." Gu Errong's ears turned red, as if someone had revealed her thoughts, "I was earlier Go back and pack your things, my brother hasn’t come back yet, and my dad, as you know, fell down.”
What he said is true, but——
Since I saw Guan Youshuang today, that one. The beautiful image kept lingering in front of his eyes. He seemed to be staring at the information in the afternoon, but he wrote back and forth without knowing what he wrote. He even accidentally wrote Guan Youshuang's name when filling in a piece of data.
This is the first time I have lost my temper like this.
Fortunately, Xie Yuanhang didn't know this, otherwise he wouldn't know how he would laugh at him.
Gu Errong forced himself to calm down.
No one was in the office on the weekend anyway. After Xie Yuanhang made a pot of tea, he boldly smoked a cigarette.
The phone rang.
It’s Gu Errong’s mother Wang Huiying again.
She said that Li Jingping said that the tricycle was temporarily borrowed by relatives and asked them to find other vehicles to welcome the bride as soon as possible.
"You said this is urgent. Where can we find it?" Wang Huiying said angrily and anxiously, "Who are these people? They change their minds when they say they will. They said it well at the beginning. I pity your father. I also gave him a Hongta Mountain."
Gu Errong didn't have time to speak.
Wang Huiying continued: "Rong'er, why do I feel that this marriage is not going well? Why don't we push it for a while? I just went to Cuntou with the birth date of the eldest daughter of the Guan family. Third Grandpa made some calculations and said that this month is not suitable for marriage, but there is an auspicious day in August."
"Mom, don't be superstitious. Don't worry about the wedding car. I'll figure it out. "
"What can you do? There is only one tricycle in the village. You can't use a broken truck to pick up the bride."
"Mom, don't worry. I'll be back tomorrow afternoon. When will my brother and sister-in-law be back?"
"They just called and said that the factory won't pay them until tomorrow and they won't be back until the day after tomorrow."
After hanging up the phone. , Gu Errong pinched his eyebrows.
For marriages in their village, donkeys have been used in the past. In the past two years, everyone's living conditions have improved, so they use bicycles. This year, Li Jingping in the village earned money by going out to work and bought a tricycle, which is new and stylish. .
Gu Errong's father, Gu Yunliang, had already made an agreement with others and hoped that his youngest son could borrow it when he got married.
"Don't worry, there must be a way to the mountain." Xie Yuanhang poured the tea and pushed it in front of Gu Errong, "If it doesn't work, just use a bicycle. The form is not important, the important thing is the person."< br>
The important thing is the people.
Gu Errong was heartbroken. It was precisely because this person was her that he wanted to give him the best.
He calculated his savings, gritted his teeth, and planned to rent a car in the county town tomorrow. *
At the same time.
County chess and card room.
Zhao Yang, who had shaved his head, had a cigarette in his mouth. In the smoke, he squinted his eyes and looked at the playing cards in his hand.
He was wearing a brand new light blue short-sleeved shirt, which was now open, revealing a large amount of chest hair.
"Brother Zhao, it's your turn, hurry up." A yellow man drinking beer diagonally opposite urged.
"Golden Flower." Zhao Yang drew three cards and threw them out.
"Brother Zhao, I heard that your wife is going to be replaced?" Another young man with scars on his face asked with a slanted face.
"Hey, you guys are quite well informed. I just found out about it just now." Zhao Yang took a puff of cigarette, blew out smoke rings, and continued, "This time I really know that pie in the sky is falling. What is it like? Do you believe it? If it were someone else, the gift would be 200 yuan less. I think it’s fucking outrageous.”
“Huh? It’s really fake. How much less? It’s so much less, so there’s nothing wrong with that woman,” Huang Mao asked in surprise.
"What's the problem? I'm a biological sister." Zhao Yang waved his hand, "Listen to my mother, I don't know where this sister heard about me and fell in love with me. And I heard that this sister is more flexible and better looking.”
“That’s awesome, brother.” The scarred man gave a thumbs up.
“By the way, I’m going to hold a banquet on the 16th of this month, and your brothers will definitely come to have a wedding banquet.”
“That’s natural, no one can attend it. Go and give it, but Brother Zhao has to go." The scarred man lit a cigarette, "By the way, Brother Zhao, haven't our project funds been paid yet? My family is almost at a loss."
"It's coming, it's coming. I've been urging you. Don't worry. I promise to come back to you next month at the latest. You can use the money first." As he said that, Zhao Yang took something out of his pants pocket. Two crumpled five-yuan bills were handed over.
"Thank you, Brother Zhao."
While several people were having fun, an old man with gray hair came in.
"Guys, it's almost time. You should clean up and settle the bill quickly. We will close at 11 o'clock."
"Okay, sir, please calculate how much money you have first. , let’s leave after this game.” Zhao Yang looked at the cards in his hand and said casually.
The old man picked up the book and read in the dim light: "25 bottles of beer, 6 packs of cigarettes, 1 catty of melon seeds, and 20 betel nuts, a total of 98 yuan."
"98 Yuan? Did you make a mistake?" Huang Mao was so shocked that his eyes dropped. "How much does a bag of Hongtashan cost?"
"You. Are you kidding me, aren't they always selling for 6 yuan and 5 yuan?"
"No, young man, they sold for 8 yuan and 5 yuan last month. The purchase price of this batch has increased, so they have been selling for 9 yuan."
"Okay, I'll pay." Zhao Yang dropped the card, put out the cigarette butt, stood up, pretended to fumble in his trouser pocket, and then turned pale.
"No, my wallet was stolen."
"Huh? Not right? When did it happen?"
"What should I do, brother, you put all our money there?" . ”
“I remember I still had my wallet when we ate at night. Did I leave it in the hotel?”
Scar and Huangmao also looked very surprised and sad.
"This..." The old man frowned.
