Chapter 424: The Real Stealing Era
Chapter 424: The Real Stealing Era
"Old lady, just buy some good wine. Don't buy loose liquor. The taste is too strong." The old man came out with a stool and begged the old lady in the car.
The old lady snorted coldly: "It's good enough for a defeated general to be able to drink, but he is still picky!"
Having said that, Chen Feng guessed that the old lady would not buy all the loose liquor this time. She should at least buy a bottle of better wine.
Chen Li asked curiously, "Grandma, did Grandpa lose again in chess?"
The old lady said proudly: "Of course, your grandfather will never be able to beat me in chess in his life."
Chen Li's face was full of admiration: "Grandma, you are so awesome!"
The old man and the old lady have a rule that if there are disagreements on small matters at home, they play chess together to decide the winner.
Jiuye Jie of Changsha Jiumen is well-known as a national Go player who has swept all the masters in the Go world. He is also one of Zhang Qishan's military advisors, responsible for giving advice and plans.
It is said that the old lady learned chess from Mr. Jie Jiuye's wife when she was young, and the two were close friends.
So over the years, the old man has never won in small matters.
Zhou Qing was helped into the car by the old lady and Zhang Haixing.
"Cauldron, we're taking to the streets."
"Well, come back soon."
Zhang Haixing rode his tricycle and left from the yard gate.
"Oh, even smoking requires money."
"This is a good thing. It helps my family quit smoking. We can save four packs of cigarettes a month, which is 32 cents."
A few people who were washing clothes were chatting non-stop.
After a while, Li Jie and a group of children came to find Chen Li, but when they heard that she was not there, they went to play in the ditch.
Maybe because they had been beaten these days, no one dared to take off their shoes and go into the water. They just took some wood chips and put them in the water to play.
The old man was sitting under the main house in the yard, reading a chess manual.
Chen Feng took a quick look and found that the title of the book was "Beginner's Manual on Go".
"Grandpa, why are you studying this? You might as well play chess."
"I can't beat your grandmother at chess." The old man said seriously, "Maybe at Go, I can wipe out thirty years of defeat."
The old man doesn't just sleep, read, or prepare medicine at home. When he's free, he often plays chess with the old lady.
Chen Feng remembered that he had secretly said before that he lost to the old lady on purpose.
"Grandpa, you are going to start with Go. Are you sure grandma doesn't know how to play?"
The old man sighed and said, "There is no hope for chess. We can only try a new path."
I understand. There is no hope and we can only change the track!
Chen Feng did not disturb the old man from learning the new chess game. He sat at the door listening to the aunts chatting and watching the little kids playing in the water.
A few minutes later, Widow Meng also came with clothes and her two daughters.
All to save a little water bill!
Seeing Qin Huairu sitting on the stool, Widow Meng, who was also a few months pregnant, said to Meng Xiaozao, "Come back and get a stool."
"Okay, mother!"
Meng Xiaozao was an honest child and went back to get a stool.
Meng Xiaoxing was looking at the grape vines in front of the kitchen door in the Chen family's yard. There were already a large number of small grapes on the vines, which would be ripe next month.
"Mom, ask Dad to find a grape and plant it next to our house."
Widow Meng did not agree.
"You have to go to school in the second half of the year, so you won't be able to keep it even if you plant it."
There are an old man and an old lady at home in the Chen family's yard, as well as a smart hunting dog. Most of the children in the yard are well-behaved children. They play with Chen Li and take the initiative to help the old man look after the house.
Compound No. 95 is different!
The cabbages and leeks planted at the door were stolen!
Widow Meng said this and glanced at Qin Huairu.
Qin Huairu just happened to see it out of the corner of his eye, and his face turned red involuntarily, with drops of sweat dripping down his face.
After more than half an hour, Zhang Haixiong and the others came back.
The Wangfujing of today is not the Wangfujing of the future. One can spend an hour or two shopping in a large supermarket.
It only takes about ten minutes to walk and you are basically done!
"Da Guo, mom bought you new clothes." Chen Li jumped out of the car and rushed to tell Chen Feng at the door before she came in.
Putting down the book in his hand, Chen Feng smiled and said, "What about you? Do you have new clothes?"
"Yes, a beautiful skirt!" Chen Li ran in happily and said.
It seems that Zhou Qing is much more generous this time now that he has his son's money.
"Huairu, are you not done washing yet?" Zhou Qing came in and saw Qin Huairu still washing clothes, and couldn't help feeling a little sympathetic.
At this time, everyone else had finished washing clothes, and only Qin Huairu was still working slowly.
She was pregnant and didn't dare to use force, which also caused her to wash very slowly.
"almost."
"Xiao Feng, pour her a glass of water." Zhou Qing ordered.
"No, no, I'm not thirsty." Qin Huairu said politely.
A glass of water is still fine.
Chen Feng entered the room and poured Qin Huairu a cup of the old man's tea, which was green tea brewed with well water.
After coming out, he was sent to Qin Huairu.
"Have some tea."
"Thank you!"
Qin Huairu took the teacup and took a sip, looking enviously at Zhang Haixing who came in pushing a tricycle.
I don’t know how many people were shocked that Zhang Haixiong could have dinner at Chen’s house.
But considering that her parents were "martyrs", everyone thought that it was the old man who took care of her.
Little did she know that Zhang Haixing had been blackmailed by Chen Feng for a large number of antiques.
In the evening, Xu Damao came to the yard and said to the old man who was sitting at the door watering the vegetable garden: "Mr. Chen, it's your turn to watch a movie in the yard tomorrow."
"Is it a new movie this time? Don't tell me it's another one you've seen before. Who would watch the New Year's movie you show in April?" the old man said disdainfully.
There is a limit to the number of times a tape can be projected, a bit like a CD: the more times it is projected, the more distorted and blurry the image becomes.
In April, the steel mill's film projection team showed movies to nearby courtyards. Not only were the movies they showed during the Chinese New Year old movies, but they were also severely distorted, which made everyone very dissatisfied.
Seven or eight little kids who were playing in the ditch pricked up their ears to listen.
They don't mind if the movie is bad. They can't understand it anyway and just want to have fun.
Xu Damao bowed and said, "How could that be possible? This is a new movie. I spent a lot of effort to convince our section chief to give priority to the compound."
The old man smiled and nodded, but in fact he didn't believe a word of it.
The real factor that played a role should be Chen Jianjun’s last complaint.
The Propaganda Department is also Li Huaide's management department. Li Huaide doesn't want Chen Feng to sell fish and meat to the canning factory and Erguotou Distillery. It would be better for him to take care of this side within his duties.
"Okay, Xiao Jie, stop playing in the water. I'll give you a task. Tell everyone that we're going to watch a movie tomorrow night."
Li Jie nodded immediately and was happy to take over the old man's job.
"Okay, Grandpa, I'll go right away."
Li Jie went to the kitchen first and explained to Chen Li, who was lying on the chicken coop watching the chicks. Then the two little girls went to the middle yard and the back yard together to talk to the adults about showing the movie.
Several other children followed them, shouting non-stop.
"Let's play a movie!"
“Let’s play a movie!”
For them, shouting this out loud is also a happy thing!
It's like power coming back on after a power outage!
