Many people couldn't help but look at the two sisters standing at the door, still licking their little hands, with purple icing all over their fingers.
"Uncle Feng brought this back. It's delicious. We each have two pieces." Niu Xiaoben, who hadn't seen anyone for a long time, took his friends in the backyard home to look for food. , crowded over, all talking.
"Actually, as long as you don't steal or rob, your two sisters will each have two yuan. Even now, if you confess, I can still give it to them."
Listen Give it back. BangGeng was a little excited, but after all, he was a lot older. He immediately realized that this was a trap. It would definitely not work to admit that he had robbed him. He was no longer young, and he knew that some things would cause public outrage. He was no longer the one who used to be stunned by his neck. Little brat, especially towards Zhu Xuefeng.
"Stealing is stealing, robbing is robbing, no matter what you dare to do, don't take it seriously." Zhu Xuefeng shook his head, with an angry look on his face, Bang Ge couldn't hold it in any longer.
"I, I got it from Grandma Yi's house. What's the matter? Everyone knows that Grandma Yi likes me. I always eat at Grandma Yi's house, so what's the point of getting some food."
< br>This boy's quick wit surprised Zhu Xuefeng. It seemed reasonable to say that. He had grown up a lot. Compared with the last time when he snatched dates from his little sister, he knew how to quibble. Zhu Xuefeng was not interested in arguing with him.
"Xiao Ben, your mother can't come back to cook. She will go to my house to eat later. Help me call Yingying and Guodong over and let them talk."
"Okay. Yes, Uncle Feng." Niu Xiaoben squeezed out of the crowd and ran away. After a while, he brought the two timid siblings over. Zhu Xuefeng took the two siblings, one with each hand, and leaned against him.
"Cherry, tell everyone, did Banggeng go to your house and steal the candy? Don't be afraid. Big brother will make the decision for you. Did he make you so sissy?"
Seeing Zhu Xuefeng's encouraging eyes, Little Cherry gained courage and pointed at the stick. "It's him, it's him. He robbed and ran away. My mother told him to stop, but he ignored her, which made my mother angry."
"You girl, don't just open your mouth. My grandson went to your house to get some food. What's all the fuss about? I know it. You are taking advantage of the crowd and want to bully me, a lonely old woman. You have violated your conscience one by one, Lao Jia..."
After hearing the word "Lao Jia", Jia Zhang subconsciously stopped talking and paused.
"Banggeng, grandma knows. You are right. Your grandma went to the hospital because she was unfit. Let's go home. In broad daylight, people in the yard are bullying us. I still I don’t believe that no one is in charge. Don’t be afraid, dear grandson. Grandma will go to the street office tomorrow to report that there is a bully in our compound.”
Oh, it seems that three years of labor reform has really made this Jia Zhang. He has grown a lot, unlike before where he always acted helpless and acted helpless. The logic of his sophistry has become much clearer.
Who knew how many people Jia Zhang had quarreled with in prison, how many times he had been disciplined and taught a lesson, and he had made a lot of progress.
"Stealing without telling anyone, and running away after being stopped, Jia and Zhang, you are going to break the law, Bangge, this is also an obvious robbery, this is what happened at a young age, but when you grow up, you can still be saved. "Banggen, get over here."
Jia Zhang was at a loss for words. Banggen shrank her neck and looked at her grandma. Jia Zhang reacted and protected Banggen.
“You steal when you say it, and rob it when you say it. I also said that you got this candy from abroad and stole it. You are telling lies with your eyes open. What are you doing? , everyone has dispersed. Tomorrow I will go to the street to find the leaders to comment. This little brat is pretending to be a big man."
Seeing Jia Zhang's arrogance becoming arrogant, Zhu Xuefeng was about to give him a few words of education, but he didn't expect Ying Tao to find the courage to directly testify.
"He is a thief. He always comes to our house to steal money. My mother has discovered it several times."
Banggeng's face suddenly changed, and Mrs. Jia Zhang became anxious, "You are talking nonsense, keep talking nonsense, I've torn this little girl's mouth off and let you talk nonsense and spout blood. When Yi Zhonghai comes back, I have to teach him a lesson."
A thinner voice came out, "No. Bullying my sister, he always comes to steal money. Yesterday he came to steal it. My mother said it, and he stole two more yuan. "
"You are talking nonsense, I don't, see if I don't beat you to death. You're a wild child in the mountains."
Everyone looked at Bangge, whose expression gradually changed, and started talking and pointing again.
"Xiao Ben, come here."
Niu Xiaoben whispered a few words, and Niu Xiaoben crawled into Jia's house again. Jia Zhang did not pay attention, and reacted When they came over, Niu Xiaoben had already got in with his friends, and he could only watch helplessly.
Bangge struggled and roared loudly. "Niu Xiaoben, come out quickly. If you dare to steal things from my house, I can't beat you to death."
I saw that Niu Xiaoben was already laughing and joking with his friends in the backyard, carrying a schoolbag and holding a schoolbag in his hand. A small paper package.
"Uncle Feng, found it."
"Open it." Zhu Xuefeng said coldly. Since he is so disrespectful, let him be embarrassed.
The school bag contained ten neat one-dollar bills, and the small paper bag contained three two-dollar bills folded into small squares.
“This is my money, not stolen.”
As soon as Banggeng saw Niu Xiaoben coming out with a schoolbag and a small paper bag in his hand, he knew something was wrong. Quickly quibble.
"This is all what I earned from selling scraps. Give it back to me quickly."
Jia Zhang also looked at Bangge in confusion. After she was released, her private money was gone. , he could only force Qin Huairu to give him three yuan a month, and he had only saved six yuan until now. He didn't expect his grandson to be richer than himself.
Zhu Xuefeng turned around and broke off a thin branch from the locust tree next to him. Bang Gian's heart tightened. This guy was really going to kill him, and he screamed loudly.
“I earned it by selling scraps, and you framed people.”
Zhu Xuefeng walked over with a dark face and pulled the stick away. Mrs. Jia Zhang didn’t pay attention and looked at her grandson. If you are pulled away, you have to go and grab it.
Zhu Xuefeng looked back at her, his eyes full of coldness.
"You have contributed a lot to your grandson being like this. If I don't discipline you, maybe your grandson will be gone."
Jia Zhang still wanted to speak, but Zhu Xuefeng continued to stare at her. He opened his mouth with a cold look in his eyes. After all, he had several lives on his hands. The murderous intention made Jia Zhang shudder, as if he was a big white pig that had been washed and stripped, facing the butcher's glaring sharp knife, and he was frightened. Speechless.
“Banggen, let’s not tell you how the money came from. Let your mother take care of it. Anyway, the recycling station is not far away. They all have account books. If you go there, you will know whether the money was given by them. Today I will only teach you a lesson. You stole the things from these two siblings, which made your grandma so angry that she almost died. Tell me which hand stole it."
It was obvious that Zhu Xuefeng wanted to whip himself with a branch. Bangge is really anxious now.
"So what if I rob them, two wild children in the ravine, I'll just rob them, it's none of your business, you killed my dad, and you want to harm me, your whole family won't be allowed to It’s so damn good, just like your father.”
Somewhat unexpectedly, he slapped Banggeng on the face. Banggeng received a loud slap, and a slap mark immediately appeared on his face. He was considered stupid. , also confused.
No one said that adults bully children. The key point is that the words of the joke are too vicious and not something that such a big child can say. Everyone looked at Jia Zhang unconsciously. .
"Jia Zhang, this is your awesome guy, do you think he is talking humanly? I killed his father? Who taught you this? You taught me, do you want everyone to learn this? Do you know why his father died?" The crowd started talking. It turned out that Xiao Jia had hidden secrets when he left. It was a bit strange for a good person to disappear after going to a labor camp.
“You dare to curse our old Zhu family, who gave you the courage? If I don’t deal with you today, I will have no shame in using this surname.”
Mrs. Jia Zhang didn’t have the courage to speak. The cause of her son’s death must never be revealed. Not to mention herself, her eldest grandson would be poked at by others all his life, unable to hold his head up. He would never be able to marry a wife in this life. The old Jia family was completely Broken roots.
“Also, your grandson is now considered a citizen of the city. He has a household registration, but you don’t have one yet? You are from Zhangjiagou, your Jia family is also from Shangou, and your Qin Huairu family is also from Shangou. At your feet, Bangge, do you know that your grandparents and your mother are all from the ravine? I am not afraid to tell you that my family is also from the ravine. There are several families in this compound who are not from the ravine. Who do you look down on? You are a grandson in the ravine!"
He said, no longer talking nonsense, pointing at the stick with the branch, "Which hand grabs the candy, stretch out."
See you. Zhu Xuefeng went crazy. After being scolded and beaten, Bangge didn't dare to resist. He only dared to look back at his grandma, but he saw that she didn't even dare to fart.
"Normally, I don't have to meddle in other people's business to discipline you, but who caused this incident with the candy I brought back, and almost killed your grandma? Today I will let you remember it for a long time, and you will know later What can be done and what cannot be done?”
A few dazzling red marks appeared on the little hands after the branches were whipped. It took a while before the stick stems felt the pain, but the pain became uncontrollable. , unable to bear it any longer, he covered his right hand and cried loudly.
"Why did you hit me? Why?"
Banggan's eyes were red and he was crying and howling. His hand was grabbed by Zhu Xuefeng just now and he couldn't break away at all.
"I told my mother to settle the score with you." Grandma couldn't count on it. Banggeng listened in a daze to her mother that she had found a backer, and asked her to find a backer to help her and avenge herself.
Seeing that Bang Gang refused to repent, Zhu Xuefeng showed no mercy at all. He dropped the branch and looked at the two Liu brothers who had sneaked home at an unknown time.
"Guangtian, Guangfu, you two go to the scrap collection station and find out how many times Bangge sold scraps and how much he collected. Find out 50 cents per person."
"Okay!" The two boys were stunned by the unexpected fortune. After the holiday, they secretly went out to do odd jobs. They couldn't earn more than thirty or forty cents a day. They quickly agreed and left the compound in a hurry.
Banggeng even sat down on the ground with his right hand covered, not bothering that the ground was too hot.
"Uncle Feng, Uncle Feng, we can do it too, we can do it too." Niu Xiaoben led a group of friends around Zhu Xuefeng and shouted.
"Go, go, you are just helping, it's ten cents per person, Xiao Ben, remember to come over for dinner later." But not even a dime can stop the enthusiasm of these young men, and they run away in a swarm. .
As soon as I arrived at the door, I met several workers returning from get off work.
"Xiaohua, why are you running around, come back quickly..."
"Dad, don't worry, I'm going to make money, I have a dime...", in Xiaohua's response, a group of The young man ran far away and had to catch up with the two Liu brothers. When they finished, they couldn't help, so they were too embarrassed to ask for the dime. Only a few workers who had not worked overtime were left outside the yard in a daze... .
…
"You are really bored. You are too busy with so many things. What do you care about this naughty kid?"
After seeing off the two Yingtao siblings, Xia Yuhong was still complaining in a low voice. Zhu Xuefeng looked at Niu Xiaoben who had earned a dime and was playing carefree in the yard.
"I was a little bored. This almost caused a disaster, so I couldn't help but take action. Come on, I don't think this kid can get over it, so let him go."
" Xiaohong, forget it, this guy finally came back, don’t keep talking about him, let him talk about his schooling and what’s going on there now.”
Lin Na, who was cleaning up the dishes, spoke up. , Xia Yuhong let the man go. The younger sister looked at these strange three people and realized that the elder brother was also afraid of Sister Xia.
Zhu Xuefeng glanced at the little girl, "I don't have much to say. I'm just learning, doing experiments, and researching new materials. Oh, it's not that I haven't achieved anything. I co-designed a Man, now that the drawings have been handed in, I don’t know if I can help!”
“It’s the cave-drilling machine you mentioned last time.”
“Well, the design is finished. Let’s see if it can be used in our subway project.”
“Brother, what did you design? A pangolin?” the girl asked with a strange look.
"Let's go and play, your brother is doing serious business. That's a machine. Where did the pangolin come from?" He rubbed the little girl's head dotingly, causing the little girl to roll her eyes again and go. While taking care of the messed up hair.
“By the way, how are you two doing now?”
It was not convenient to talk about outside matters here, so Zhu Xuefeng changed the subject.
“Sister Na is currently working as a translator in a newspaper and is very busy. I am now an intern at the Ministry of Commerce. Uncle Luo takes good care of me. He heard that I have studied economics and is letting me familiarize myself with the process of foreign trade. "
"Uncle Luo? When did you have Uncle Luo in the Ministry of Commerce?"
"My dad met me at the Canton Fair and we became acquaintances after going there several times. So did Uncle Luo. He is from Hubei Province and from Jingzhou, his hometown.”
I met Lao Luo at the Canton Fair with Secretary Chen. I didn’t expect that he and Lao Xia were familiar with each other and they were fellow villagers. No wonder Xia Yuhong was able to join the Ministry of Commerce as an intern. , it stands to reason that many English majors are like Lin Na, looking for a translation position or transferring to the diplomatic system.
…
“Well beaten, I think this kid is getting more and more crooked as he grows. He actually went to the uncle’s house to steal money. If he doesn’t take good care of him, he will have to be taken care of by the police. "
Si Zhu and his wife came back earlier than the workers who worked overtime. As soon as they entered the yard, they heard that Brother Zhu was back and hurried over to take a look. Lin Na pulled Xia Yuhong and Zhu Xuemei into the north room.
When he heard about Bangge, Shazhu was also furious. He liked Bangge when he was a child, but now this kid even dares to steal from the grandpa's house. It's so unethical.
“Qin Huairu comes back so late every day, and his grandma has just put him back. This child has not been cared for for several years, so this is not surprising.”
Lou Xiao'e wasn't too surprised. Although she didn't know what Bangge was like before, if a teenage boy was left to fend for himself, he would most likely grow crooked.
"What do you think Sister Qin is busy with every day? How busy can a guest house be? Can it be busier than our cafeteria? Do you come back so late every day?"
