When Chu Xiangqian heard that it was at the front door, he couldn't help but breathed a sigh of relief. He was afraid that Fang Xiaosheng and Chen Daliang were also eyeing the yard in Mao'er Hutong.
Just as he was about to say goodbye to Xue Hongmei, he then thought about it and asked, "Aunt Xue, we don't have control over that area at the front door. If Fang Xiaosheng and Chen Daliang go there to grab the credit, aren't they afraid of being beaten?"
Xue Hongmei smiled and said, "Who knows whether that credit is real? Or is it just Fang Xiaosheng's own overthinking?
Besides, you have to be proactive when you see an opportunity, and occasionally you have to rely on grabbing.
Moreover, the gay person on the other side of the front door didn’t notice it himself, so could it be that other people can’t touch him? That doesn't make sense. "
Chu Xiangqian nodded hurriedly, but in his heart he only half agreed with Xue Hongmei's words.
If it were him, knowing that there was little hope, he would definitely recruit someone over the front door.
Not only do we take the initiative to share the credit, we avoid being labeled as a solitary eater by those above us, and we do not know the negative impression of uniting comrades.
And if you really do meritorious service, the main credit belongs to yourself.
You can also bring others to bear the consequences.
Moreover, if you have to rely on taking credit to achieve merit, it means that this person is really not very good, at least not popular, that is for sure.
Chu Xiangqian glanced at Xue Hongmei, secretly thinking that his future wife's aunt was probably protected a little too well by her father and brother, so much so that she even said things to take credit for her.
Xue Hongmei's heart skipped a beat when he saw this look, but when she looked over again, she saw Chu Qianqian stood up with a smile on his face and said, "Aunt Xue, I'm going on patrol. If I'm free in the afternoon, I'll go with my second brother. fishing.
When the time comes, ask him to send two to your house, so you and your family can have a taste. "
Xue Hongmei nodded blankly, and when Chu moved forward, she stood up and left the office without making up her mind, and went straight to her man's unit.
Just as I was about to get there, I suddenly thought about it. If it was what I thought, wouldn't it be embarrassing in front of men?
Immediately turn around and go find your biological father.
When we arrived at the compound, we talked to Xue Xueli.
Xue Xueli said angrily, "What are you thinking about all day long? You can take the credit if you want?"
Xue Hongmei suddenly lost her temper and heard Xue Xueli continue, "Fortunately, Xiao Chu didn't listen to you. Otherwise, even if he has made a meritorious service, he will definitely be guarded by his boss and his boss's boss in the future."
"Dad, do you mean that the look Xiao Chu looks at me is really blaming me?"
Xue Xueli was so angry that he almost wanted to hit someone, and secretly thought that no matter how old she was, this woman always thought differently from men.
However, since he is optimistic about Chu Xiangqian, he naturally cannot cheat his grandson-in-law.
"He is telling you that he has accepted your love. Otherwise, why would he ask Jianguo to send you two big fish?"
Xue Hongmei suddenly became happy, "Let me just say that as an aunt, I helped him so much that there is no way he could blame me in the future."
Xue Xueli waved his hands angrily again, "Okay, okay, Xiao Chu and Lan Lan's story has not been revealed. Whether they will succeed or not is another matter.
What does it look like when you go back to work and run around all day long? "
Xue Hongmei promised, but turned around and went to find her mother and sister-in-law. She had a meal at home before going back to work.
After Chu Qianqian walked out of the street, he released Da Zhuang and Hong Niu in an alley.
Hang the dog leash on the handlebars, ride your bicycle around the main street in the area, and then go directly to Maoer Hutong.
There were long-tailed tits flying in the sky. Chu Qianqian could easily avoid people and silently entered the alley of the small courtyard.
He took out the long-handled pliers he borrowed from the second uncle's house in the morning from the warehouse and easily cut off the lock on the door.
Then he hung up the new padlock he bought while patrolling.
Anyway, Liu Yifa's family may have arrived in the northwest by now, and no one will come to this yard for a long time in the future.
You are not afraid of being discovered that the door lock has been changed.
When I entered the door, I still put the pliers and the old lock in the warehouse, leaving the tits staring at the courtyard wall.
Chu Xiangqian gathered Da Zhuang and Hong Niu into Novice Village and directed them to kill the pheasants, hares and sika deer that were spawned today.
I started to clean up the sanitation of the main house in the yard.
My hand touched the furniture, and my heart moved. The dust on the furniture was immediately collected into Novice Village.
It only took about twenty minutes to clean up the house, and also got into the game, cutting down a lot of birch branches with a hunting knife, and lighting up the fire pit in the house.
Then he collected all the fruits from 3 chestnut trees, 1 jujube tree, and 1 pear tree.
Then I went to catch all the 200 kilograms of fish in the river east of Novice Village.
Then he lay down on the fire pit and waited peacefully.
At around 10 o'clock in the morning, the cry of a long-tailed tit suddenly came to his mind. Chu looked forward and saw Qin Huairu walking quickly into the alley and standing outside the door, hesitating whether it was this yard.
Chu Qianqian stood up and opened the door, and pulled Qin Huairu in with a surprised look on his face.
After closing the door, he picked up Qin Huairu and walked into the main room.
Qin Huairu kept patting Chu Qianqian's back, but he didn't dare to shout.
Unfortunately, no matter how hard he struggled, it was useless. In the end, he could only give up and let Chu Xiangqian carry him to the bedroom.
For a moment, the sky was thundering and the earth was on fire.
After more than an hour, the room finally became quiet.
The rabbit fur mat used as a backrest on the fire bed was already a little wet at this time.
Chu Xiangqian picked up Qin Huairu with some discomfort, put another sheet on the fur mattress, then lay down on the bed again and joked.
"No wonder the ancients often said that women are made of water. You are like a flood."
Qin Huairu reached out angrily and pinched Chu Qianqian's waist a few times, "It's not a good thing you did, you are such a bastard, you don't know how to feel sorry for me at all."
Chu Qianqian laughed, "Then why were you holding me so hard just now?"
"Bah", Qin Huai's face turned red with embarrassment, and he simply shrank and hid under the quilt.
After a while, he asked, "What time is it?"
Chu Qianqian picked up his watch from the bed and looked at it, "It's almost 11:30."
When Qin Huairu heard this, he sat up quickly and said, "Oh no, I have to go back and cook."
"What a fool," Chu Xiangqian said angrily, "Are you stupid for being scolded? Now it's Jia Zhang who is begging you to give her money.
Why should you go home and cook for her at noon?
Besides, if you go back at noon from now on, will you still eat in the neighborhood committee canteen? "
After saying that, before Qin Huairu could speak, Chu Xiangqian reminded him, "As agreed, the one I'm following is Qin, and the one named Jia shouldn't try to eat my food."
Qin Huairu rolled his eyes at Chu Qianqian and said, "According to the past, my name is Jia Qin now."
Chu Xiangqian laughed nonchalantly, "Then don't eat the roast chicken I prepared."
"That's not okay." Qin Huairu immediately refused, "You, a cow, have plowed the land on me for so long, and you have long since made me hungry.
If you don't take care of yourself, I won't be able to withstand the torture of a cow like you in the future. "
Chu Qianqian shook his head, secretly thinking that once this woman becomes dirty, she is no worse than a man.
I got up and put on a military coat, went out to the kitchen, took out the still-steaming roast chicken and the pre-stuffed millet porridge from the game warehouse, and returned to the main room.
He shouted towards the bedroom, "Come out and eat when you're hungry. This roast chicken won't be tender when it gets cold."
Qin Huairu couldn't bear it when he heard that there was really roast chicken.
I casually put on my long johns and cotton-padded jacket, and when I left the bedroom, I saw a plate of chopped roast chicken and two bowls of millet porridge on the table.
My heart suddenly became elated.
Sitting on the chair, he sighed, "This is the first time in the past few years that I have eaten only meat and porridge."
Chu Xiangqian didn't say much, "Eat quickly, I'll go back to the street to report later, and then go on patrol in the afternoon."
Qin Huairu originally wanted to ask if he could take it back to satisfy his child's craving.
But when he saw Chu Qianqian pick up a roasted chicken leg with his chopsticks and put it into his mouth, he immediately knew that if he made Chu Xiangqian angry, he might finish the whole roasted chicken by himself.
And if you think about it carefully, it’s really hard to explain the origin of roast chicken when you take it home.
Picking up the chopsticks, he angrily grabbed the remaining chicken leg, put it in his mouth and took a bite.
Suddenly the whole taste buds seemed to explode.
After chewing for several times, he swallowed the chicken into his stomach, and then exclaimed, "Go forward, where did you sell this roast chicken? Why is it so delicious?"
"Eat yours, where did all this nonsense come from."
Chu Xiangqian naturally knew that the pheasant cooked on the stove in Xinshou Village Restaurant was not only tender and delicious, but also had a salty and spicy taste.
When I can start a business in ten or twenty years, I believe that I can make a lot of money just from this roast chicken.
Qin Huairu secretly scolded Chu Xiangqian for not understanding how to care for women, but he scolded her without any intention of complaining.
I even felt from the bottom of my heart that a man should be like Chu Qianqian and not give in to anything.
Not to mention there was a still-warm roast chicken on the table.
Chu Qianqian ate a chicken leg and a piece of chicken breast. After finishing a bowl of millet porridge, he put down the bowl, picked up a piece of chicken breast for Qin Huairu and put it in her bowl.
Qin Huairu was stunned, "Go forward, are you full now?"
When Chu Xiangqian was first reborn, he had a really big appetite.
But these days, even in the morning I eat roast chicken and rabbit with porridge. Not only is my body not short of oil and water, but I am also really tired of eating barbecue.
"I don't want you to eat more."
Qin Huairu suddenly smiled, picked up the chicken in his bowl, and put it in Chu Qianqian's bowl.
Said, "I just have these chicken wings, chicken necks, chicken heads, and chicken feet."
Chicken wings and chicken necks will be more expensive than chicken in the future. In this day and age, they are just piecemeal.
Chu waved his hand forward, "You eat yours, I want to eat roast chicken, there are plenty of opportunities. Besides, I have eaten a lot recently, and I am tired of these barbecues."
How could Qin Huairu believe it? In her opinion, she would never get tired of eating this kind of roast chicken.
But seeing Chu Qianqian put the chicken back in the bowl, Qin Huairu couldn't help but laugh.
She rolled her eyes at Chu Qianqian and began to eat in peace.
After a while, two-thirds of the roast chicken went into his stomach. Qin Huairu smacked his lips happily, "I'm so full. This is the most comfortable I've ever eaten in the past few years."
Chu Qianqian laughed and said, "I feel comfortable serving you. I will have no shortage of food for you from now on."
Qin Huairu really believed Chu Xiangqian this time, and the two of them cleaned up together. Chu Xiangqian was still thinking about dismantling the stove in the kitchen, so he asked Qin Huairu to go to the neighborhood committee first and clean up the rest by himself.
Before leaving, Chu Qianqian hid a key in the crack of the stone in front of the door.
But Qin Huairu said, "Just give it to me. I have a place to hide things, and no one knows where to keep them."
When Chu Xiangqian heard this, he knew that Qin Huairu must have hidden his private money.
And it must not be in Jia's house.
However, this has nothing to do with me, and I don’t intend to delve into it.
"If I am in the house from now on, I will put the bamboo pole used for drying clothes in the yard against the wall. If you see a piece of bamboo pole exposed on the wall, come over."
Qin Huairu nodded hurriedly, and then asked worriedly, "Can I really eat in the canteen in the neighborhood committee at noon?"
Chu Xiangqian said, "You pay four yuan a month to your neighborhood committee, and I'll let people take care of the rest."
Qin Huairu was so happy that he pulled Chu Qianqian and began to rub against him, which made Chu Qianqian feel angry again.
He secretly thought that this woman is really a witch, but she said without hesitation, "If you feel that you are at a disadvantage, then I will give you 4 yuan, and you can help me get 15 kilograms of food rations and a month's worth of vegetables. How about that?"
Qin Huai was in a hurry to compromise.
Chu Qianqian felt unhappy, so he simply carried the woman back to the yard and taught her a lesson again.
Qin Huairu was really tired this time, and it wasn't until 2:30 that he wiped himself with the washbasin and towel that Chu Xiangqian brought into the room before going out.
Chu Qianqian was in the courtyard, entered the Novice Village, lay in the fountain and soaked for more than ten minutes, and his body suddenly felt dry.
Let the tits watch outside, and then started to lift the kitchen stove.
Sure enough, 10 small gold bars weighing one or two were found under the stove.
Chu Xiangqian was overjoyed. Seeing this, the things hidden on the roof must be more valuable.
The only thing that depressed him was that, from the looks of it, there should be no antique porcelain or anything in the secret room Liu Yifa found in the east wing.
Otherwise, the stove and roof cannot hide so many things.
Or maybe the bottles and jars in the secret room were hidden in other places by Liu Yifa and his wife.
He found a stool and lifted up the roof bit by bit. After it was fully opened, Chu stepped forward and took a breath of cool air.
Unexpectedly, in addition to 20 gold bars, there were also ten revolvers wrapped tightly in oil paper.
If the guns weren't all police revolvers, Chu Xiangqian would have suspected that the couple were lurking enemies.
If he were Liu Yifa, he would naturally not dare to leave these guns in his house without plug-ins.
Even if I move all my things out of the east wing, I will definitely still feel uneasy.
He put all the gold bars and guns into the Novice Village warehouse, pulled out more than a dozen boxes of bullets on the roof, and then let the tits get on the roof to check.
After making sure nothing was left behind, we started to restore the roof.
I originally wanted to go out to find Huang Ni and restore the stove, but then I thought about it. Qin Huairu was carried into the house by herself as soon as she entered the door today, and she never entered the kitchen at all.
There is no need to be in such a hurry to find yellow mud and other things.
I even thought about it and just dismantled the stove and put all the yellow mud blocks and other things into Xinshou Village.
Just wait until you get the materials next time and build it again.
The roof also needs a new layer of dust.
While thinking about where to get the materials, I entered the Novice Village again, soaked in the fountain for a while, washed up, and then went out and locked the door.
Riding a bicycle, I took Da Zhuang and Hong Niu around the area, and entered Chen Huaili's office before 5 p.m.
