innocent year

Chapter 8 Pearl Jade White Jade Soup

As soon as Xu Yong said this, Li Yandong became even more angry.

"What's the big deal?! Hearing your tone, those who don't know think I'm married to a million-dollar household! My surname is Xu, just leave me alone. Let me tell you, I'm educating my son here. Don't mess up!"

Li Yandong did not make alarmist remarks on this matter. At that time, most of the wage earners only received about 100 yuan a month. "One piece" can buy 5 or 6 catties of meat at least.

There are many brothers in Xu Yong's family, so it is logical that there are many younger generations, but Li Yandong has only Xu Minghai inside and out.So when it comes to the Chinese New Year, giving "lucky money" becomes a business that only pays but not earns.Although the money is for the child, everyone knows that the child is nothing more than a "money laundering" role.After this cutscene is over, the money goes back to their parents.It's like this every year. Xu Minghai just warmed up the money, but Li Yandong confiscated it as soon as he entered the house. He called it "Save it for you."

Although it seems to be a little looser in the past few years, the poor life is really scary. The sense of crisis after eating the last meal is like an invisible tail, which grows behind everyone.

But this time, Li Yandong counted according to the head count, and no matter how he counted, he lost 10 yuan.When Xu Minghai was asked, he immediately denied it, as if he was prepared.Li Yandong knows that as children get older, they also understand more and more the importance of the word "money".It is no longer possible to pass it off with the phrase "children don't know how to spend money" like before.Money is hard to earn, shit is hard to eat, can you earn it and spend it?

But no matter what, if you want something, you can tell the adults, and if you can't steal it by yourself, you can "squeeze" the new year's money.Stealing needles when you are young and stealing gold when you are young, now you have to pay for it after plucking the hair?So Li Yandong directly characterized Xu Minghai's behavior as "corruption" and insisted on educating him well.

This time she deliberately avoided Xu Minghai's head, and just hit his buttocks with a broom.But no matter how thick his ass was, it still hurt to be beaten. Xu Minghai was beaten all over the yard like this, screaming and screaming.

In this room, Qiushi ran out when he saw the scene of chickens flying and dogs jumping through the glass of the window, but was pushed down on the chair by his mother.

Zhou Yingying thought about educating children, each family has its own reasons, and outsiders can't intervene.But she looked at her son's clean and bright eyes, but she couldn't say the words "mind your own business".The mother and son can live safely in the yard, and she looks happy every day as if the hockey puck in Qiushi's heart melts. Isn't it because others "meddled in their own business"?

Xu Minghai had already walked Li Yandong out of strength and ran away at this moment, and he was very proud of himself.Who would have thought that he would miss Jingzhou carelessly, he would stir garlic under his feet, and directly performed a geese falling down on the sand, and sat on the ground with a puff.

"Prodigal stuff! The clothes are all dirty!" Li Yandong yelled, "Get up quickly!"

Xu Minghai kicked his heels suddenly, trying to stand up, but the newly bought shoes didn't follow his feet, and the navy blue cotton nest fell off with a snap.In this way, the people's representatives trampled by Xu Minghai can be regarded as seeing the light of day again.

The atmosphere suddenly became tense.

Li Yandong was so exhausted that he was out of breath and the oxygen supply to his brain was insufficient, so he planned not to pursue it anymore, maybe Xu Minghai lost it, or he made a mistake in his calculations.Unexpectedly, people suddenly got all the stolen goods, and it took no effort to get them.

She was really angry now, and she didn't show mercy anymore, she bent down and raised her hand, only to hear a "slap", and a vigorous slap fell on Xu Minghai's face.At this time, Xu Minghai had already forgotten the trick of "convulsions" taught by Qiu Shi, and he froze on the spot, with a huge sense of humiliation mixed with the burning pain on his face.

"I told you to steal money! I told you to tell lies! I told you not to learn well!" Angry, Li Yandong raised his broom and hit Xu Minghai.

But at this time, Xu Minghai did not scream loudly, but was beaten by Li Yandong without saying a word.

When I didn't know how many times I hit, I saw a shadow arrow rushing towards Xu Minghai directly.Li Yandong took a closer look, and it turned out to be that little bastard Qiu Shi!He stared at himself with two wolf-like eyes, neither asking for forgiveness nor being obedient, without even a trace of fear on his face, he only guarded Xu Minghai, who was one size bigger than him, behind him. "Zhou Yingying! Take care of your children!" Li Yandong couldn't really greet Qiushi with a broom, so he turned around to talk to his mother for reasoning.

"I can't control it," Zhou Yingying didn't even come out of the house in a daze, "Our family doesn't talk about beating children during the first lunar month!"

Now that Li Yandong couldn't get off the stage, she held up a broom and looked at the two children for a while, not knowing what to do.

"Okay, okay, Xiaohai knows it's wrong!" Seeing the needle, Xu Yong quickly bent down to pick up the money, and then desperately dragged his wife back.Li Yandong also felt that slapping Xu Minghai in broad daylight was a bit too much, and couldn't help feeling sad.She threw the broom aside viciously, sobbing as she walked, "What am I trying to do? It's not just for the ten yuan. The child doesn't care, what will happen when he grows up?"

"Then tell the child well..."

"Does it work if you talk about it?! I'll be virtuous with you, and I won't go away if I hold you back!"

Xu Yong had no choice but to find another way to reassure Li Yandong: "You are too high-spirited, can corrupt criminals do what they want? Does the son born between us have that brain?"

"Xu Minghai, reflect on what happened today! Then write an 800-word inspection!" Li Yandong turned his head and howled, then opened the curtain, and walked in with Xu Yong.

Just then Zhou Yingying came out, picked up the two mud monkey-like children from the ground, and led them into the house.I found a towel and dusted off the dirt on both of them.Xu Minghai lowered his head and had a white face. His ass was spanked and his mouth was slapped in front of everyone. It felt completely different.

"Your mother also hates iron but not steel," Zhou Yingying sighed, seeing five finger prints on Xu Minghai's face, trying to reason with the child, "Don't hate her because of this, Xiao Hai. Leave this matter to Auntie. Auntie has to be angry too."

"Hmm..." Xu Minghai murmured, his eyes glazed over, "Anyway, it's just bullying me as a child. There will always be a day when I grow up and earn money by myself."

"Ten yuan is a lot," Zhou Yingying asked, "What are you doing with the money? Xiao Hai."

Xu Minghai didn't speak, just bit his lip, his expression was a bit like Qiu Shi.Zhou Yingying saw that Xu Minghai didn't say anything, so she didn't ask any more. It was too difficult to judge whether it was her child.

"Mom, I want to eat pork chops." Qiu Shi said at this time.

Zhou Yingying glanced at them both, then turned and went to the kitchen to fry the chopsticks.Qiu Shi took the remnants of the defeated generals and walked out.

"what?"

"Look for Lord Jiu."

"Crazy?" Xu Minghai grabbed Qiu Shi, "Why are you looking for him?"

Qiu Shi didn't speak, but pushed him to the door of the next room, knocked, and the door opened.

"Hey, hello," Guan Jiuye looked at Xu Minghai, who had a big palm print on his face, and said with a smile, "Hey, rare guest."

Xu Minghai was very nervous, he stared into Guan Jiuye's eyes for a long time before he dared to lift his legs and follow Qiu Shi into the house.

"What do you think you and your mother are arguing about every day? This is it? If we meet again, you will die."

Xu Minghai was speechless.

"Master Jiu." Qiu Shi pointed at the old man on the left side of Xu Minghai's face.

"Little Guozi, you know how to find someone, sit down."

After finishing speaking, Master Jiu went to the kitchen and took out an egg.He boiled it with water in a small pot, peeled off the skin and wrapped it in a piece of clean gauze, and ordered: "Roll it on your face to reduce swelling and blood stasis."

Qiushi then took the egg and rolled it gently on Xu Minghai's cheek.

"What do you want to buy for money? I look at the streets, and there is nothing serious nowadays." Master Jiu sat back on the chair, picked up the cup and took a sip of hot tea slowly.The unique smell of jasmine permeates, and it is fragrant.

Xu Minghai looked at the old and the young in front of him, and muttered for a long time: "I want to buy a birthday cake for Guozi."

Qiu Shi's hand holding the egg stopped immediately, and he looked at Xu Minghai closely, with question marks on his forehead.

"Didn't you tell me the day you first came here? After the second year of junior high school, you will be eight years old. Isn't that tomorrow's birthday?" Xu Minghai just grinned, but it turned out that his facial nerves were involved, and he immediately fell asleep.

"Well, he is a man with love and righteousness." Jiu Ye squinted his eyes and looked very happy, "It would be nice if the play was sung like this."

"But it still failed," Xu Minghai lamented, "The whole thing turned around."

Qiushi has never eaten a birthday cake, and he doesn't quite understand the meaning behind it.He looked at Xu Minghai and said, puzzled, "Why do you want to eat cake?"

"I eat it on my birthday! It's even more delicious than Mai Lisu!" Xu Minghai took the egg and rolled it on his face, feeling very comfortable. "But if I wait until my birthday to eat it, it will be a year of the monkey."

The year of the monkey is longer than a lifetime for a child, and it is determined not to wait that long.

Qiushi looked at Xu Minghai, Xu Minghai lowered his head and just rolled the eggs, speechless.

"Come on, don't worry about that thing." Master Jiu brought a chatterbox from somewhere, then took out two new cups, and poured tea on the two young ones as if they were adults, "Let's listen to the passage Go ahead and divert your attention."

After a burst of rustling electric currents, voices gradually rose up: "Hey, the stand-up comedy I was talking about today is not what is happening now. What about our business? Anyway, this is not too far away from now. Only over 600 years..."

The two of them like to read little books, and naturally they also like to listen to stories.Immediately, they put the word "cake" behind them, and the five of them imitated Master Jiu, holding the cup with his legs up and drinking tea, listening carefully to the nasal voice in the chatter box, and inexplicably showing joy Sensational voice.

And when Xu Minghai heard, "This magistrate is kneeling there, good guy, kowtowing like a chicken running over broken rice, trembling like a scorpion and a tiger eating cigarette oil." It doesn't hurt that much anymore.

It's been like this all afternoon, no matter how unhappy he is, Xu Minghai has to go home before dinner.He entered the door dejectedly, and when Xu Yong saw him, he hurriedly said, "Son, come and eat!"

"You still have the face to eat?" Li Yandong was annoyed, "Drink the pot water!"

"I'm uneducated," Xu Minghai whispered to himself, "That's called pearl, emerald, and white jade soup!"
