While the two were walking around, Wang Pipi ran into the classroom holding two bottles of Arctic Ocean.
He handed the soda to Zhang Dashuan respectfully and asked breathlessly.
"Can you tell me now......?"
Zhang Dashuan habitually bit open the bottle cap with his teeth, handed a bottle to Tianyi, took a big gulp, and said with a smack.
"Two bottles of Arctic Ocean, I just want my martial arts secrets, beautiful you... buy it for two months first, remember to bring your brother Yi with you, she will be the boss of our school from now on, if you do anything bad again, I will kill you, you know No?"
While Zhang Dashuan was drinking Wang Pipi's soda, he pointed at Wang Pipi's nose and warned Wang Pipi with spittle.
"Well…………….."
After hearing Zhang Dashuan's words, Wang Pipi wiped the sweat from his forehead and froze on the spot.
He had lost his wife and soldiers more than once, but Wang Pipi never seemed to have a long memory.
I wanted to take the test papers home to make Meifeng happy, but when I entered the house, I found my mother packing her luggage.
"Lao An... Is our family attracting thieves?"
Tianyi asked in confusion as he looked at the Longmen array with large bags and small bags and bottles all over the floor.
"Only our house? The thief cried when he saw it! It was Wang Pipi's mother who said she wanted to sell the house. She said she would have to cancel the rent and give us three days to move out."
Hearing this, Tianyi's heart tightened. Could it be because she indirectly caused Wang Pipi to get two zero eggs in the exam?
Or was it because she secretly exchanged milk and splashed urine on Wang Pipi's school uniform?
"It's so urgent, you've only lived here for half a year and it's not even there yet?"
Tianyi sighed.
"What's wrong, Brother Yi? Have you got a new partner?"
Meifeng asked with a hint of sarcasm.
"Uh.........No, I just won the first place in my age and showed my face in front of my classmates. I haven't been in glory for three days, and I have to leave again..."
Tianyi thought to himself that the eldest son of Balipu Elementary School had only been in office for one day and he had already stepped down to make way for someone younger. It was really a bit bad.
"It's okay, you will have a new partner."
Meifeng comforted Tian Yidao while arranging her clothes.
Tianyi and Meifeng have been living a homeless life since they were 4 years old. They moved from the Xiangyang District in the center of Siji City to the slum of Balipu all the way.
"I'm going to look at houses on Taoyuan Road tomorrow. The houses there all have small courtyards. They should be more free than here. You don't have to queue up to hang clothes."
Meifeng wiped the sweat from her forehead and said with a smile.
"Villa area?"
Tianyi couldn't believe his ears.
"It's not a villa, but it's similar in nature to a villa. It's a small bungalow with a small independent yard. We can plant some flowers and plants in the yard."
Meifeng was used to describing it easily with Tianyi.
"Finally no more dead flies or syringes!"
Tianyi breathed a long sigh of relief.
"What fly carcass? What syringe?"
Meifeng asked in confusion.
"Nothing... great, we can finally live the life of rich people."
The autumn wind blew off the last leaf. Tianyi held her mother's little hand and took four buses to a shantytown.
"Lao An... Is this the villa area you are talking about?"
Tianyi blinked his big eyes and looked at the crooked and dilapidated houses in front of him, the mud marks left by the ruts, and the stinky ditches with ice and ballast, which also exuded a stench.
"Well...it will take care of the yard, I guarantee your satisfaction."
Meifeng said jokingly.
There was a lame man standing across the road. Meifeng waved to him and shouted loudly.
“I came to see the house………….”
The man wiped his nose with the sleeve of his cotton-padded jacket and waved to Meifeng to come over.
So Meifeng strutted forward, holding Tianyi's little hand, and walked into the black area of Siji City, Taoyuan Road, which was feared by everyone.
Meifeng rented a small bungalow with two bedrooms and one living room, and a small yard of 200 square meters.
The rent is half of the original price, 500 yuan a month.
There is an old peach tree in the middle of the yard. Standing under the tree, you can see the frozen moat and dry groves.
The fence of the yard is made of stones, and the gate is a fence made of broken branches.
The house is a small brick house with red bricks and blue tiles. It has water and electricity, but no heating, so you can only make your own fire.
Due to its age and disrepair, the house exuded a musty smell.
The surrounding windows were temporarily wrapped with plastic sheets, and the biting cold wind leaked out everywhere.
"Finally living in a villa!"
Tianyi said in a self-comforting tone.
"Finally, I'm not afraid of flowers dying for no reason."
Meifeng also comforted herself.
"What should we do next...Lao An?"
Tianyi used thick cotton gloves to wipe away the clear snot that was about to flow down, and asked excitedly.
Meifeng mysteriously took out two white plastic bags from her cotton-padded jacket pocket.
One was put on his head, the other was put on Tianyi's head, and he said with a smile.
"Work, work..."
"Haha... I obey the Queen Mother's orders..."
Tianyi snapped his fingers, picked up the bald broom by the wall with a smile, and started to see billows of red dust rising in the room.
Throughout the afternoon, the mother and daughter sang songs, soaked in biting ice water, and kept the house spotless.
The next day, Meifeng took Tianyi and a bucket of white syrup to her new home.
As soon as I walked into the yard, I found a round body squirming slowly.
Holding a round wheel, he was brushing the walls of the house in an orderly manner.
"Who are you……………."
Meifeng looked at the man curiously.
Hearing the sound, the man turned around and replied with a smile.
"I'm the man from Xiangqin's house next door. She saw that there was no man in your family, so she asked me to come over and help. Don't worry, I'll shave you off. I'm professional and I guarantee your satisfaction."
"Why is this so embarrassing?"
I had never met my neighbors before, so I called my husband to help. The people here are really enthusiastic, which is indeed a bit different from what they say outside.
If this happened in Balipu, not only would someone be jealous, but they would also lose hundreds of dollars.
"It's okay... We are all neighbors. We will inevitably cause trouble to each other in the future, so don't be polite."
The man wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand and said honestly.
At this time...
A gorgeous woman with big black waves and flaming red lips ran out from the next room.
"Are you a new neighbor? My name is Xiangqin, and we will be neighbors from now on. This is the man in my house. He has no work today, so I will ask him to help you paint the walls, so that you don't have to go out and spend money... "
After hearing Xiangqin's words, Meifeng subconsciously carried the white paste behind her back and said with an embarrassed look.
"Okay, I won't be polite to you anymore. How can I trouble you any more?"
"You said...as long as I can do it."
"My house is still empty and I don't have a pot. I want to lend you the pot. I'll make a turtle stewed egg for lunch. Let's eat it together. I'll also reward my brother by the way."
Meifeng thought to herself that it would cost 300 yuan to completely whiten the whole house. She originally wanted to buy a bucket of whitening paste but decided against it. It seemed that the money had to be spent today, and it had to be spent clearly. Don't spend it on the neighbors in the future. This chattered.
"Ouch... you're too polite. Isn't that just a tortoise stewed egg? What else can you borrow? Come in and use it. I haven't eaten a tortoise in twenty years, and I will try some meat with you today. Haha..."
Xiangqin looks like she is in her early 30s, but her age is revealed when she smiles because she has crow's feet at the corners of her eyes.
"Okay...I'll do it first."
After saying that, the man turned back and applied the whitening paste seriously.
Meifeng went around Taoyuan Road to seven or eight wet markets before she could buy a tortoise that weighed less than 2 pounds, so she bought 16 pigeon eggs, eight eggs, and some potatoes and carrots for side dishes. It should be enough for 4 people.
After returning to Xiangqin's house, the two chatted and started cooking enthusiastically.
Xiangqin also used his special skill to stir-fry shredded potatoes.
"Mom...it smells so good, what are you doing?"
A thin, dry boy with a sharp mouth and cheeks opened the kitchen door curtain in search of something interesting.
"Son of a bitch!"
Xiangqin replied without looking up while cutting shredded potatoes.
"Isn't it just that I stayed out all night? As for scolding people?"
The boy saw a stranger in the room and said in a slightly civilized manner.
Hearing what the boy said, Xiangqin reluctantly opened the pot and pointed it out to him one by one.
"You brat... look, you bastard... egg!"
"ah…………"
The boy scratched his head in amusement.
"Meifeng, this is my son Ximao. He should be 5 years older than your Tianyi, but Tianyi doesn't have the same education as yours and has never graduated from elementary school."
Xiangqin rolled his eyes as he spoke.
"Heroes should not ask about their origins. Unparalleled talents do not necessarily have to be wordy. Zhu Yuanzhang was still a beggar, and he did not delay others from becoming emperor, right?"
Meifeng glanced at Xiaomao and said gently.
"Did you hear it? Did you hear it? Auntie is still knowledgeable! Nowadays, college students are working for bosses who haven't even graduated from elementary school."
Xiaomao argued with Xiangqin unconvinced.
"Yes, yes... you are the future big boss. Hurry up and bring the dishes to the house, chat with Tianyi, and don't hinder my eyes in the kitchen."
Xiangqin put the tortoise stewed eggs into a small aluminum basin. He filled the basin full of potatoes and eggs, and handed it to Xiao Mao with a smile.
Xi Mao took the bastard and entered the house...
As soon as he entered the house, he saw a child sitting in front of the TV, watching Tom and Jerry attentively.
Her hair looked like she had stepped on a switch, it was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside, and there was a little braid as thin as a little finger on her neck.
"Hey...kid, your name is Tianyi?"
Xi Mao asked with good faith.
"ah…………"
Tianyi looked back at Xi Mao, who was as thin as a skeleton.
"Hey... you're a dick? Will you hang out with me from now on? I guarantee you won't be bullied on Taoyuan Road."
After hearing Ximao's words, Tianyi curiously blinked his big innocent eyes and asked.
"Do I make money by hanging out with you?"
"Uh... I don't have any money. My mother only gives me 5 yuan a day. I don't even have enough to play games online. Where can I get the money for you?"
"Tch...what are you doing?"
Tianyi turned his head away again with a look of disgust.
"Hey...kid, is this so realistic? You can't hang out if you don't have money? What if you are bullied in the future? No one can protect you? So you have to give me money? This is called protection fee, haha ……….”
"How about you hang out with me?"
Tianyi turned his head again and looked at Xiaomao with a smile.
"Hey...you little brat, who will protect the other when we go out?"
Looking at the child in front of him who looked weird and spoke like an adult, Xiao Mao found it funny.
"You can make money by hanging out with me, will you follow?"
Tianyi said simply and directly.
"No one wants you to work, how do you make money?"
Xi Mao looked at Tianyi in confusion.
"If I can make you earn 10 yuan a day, that's 300 yuan a month. Will you follow me?"
Tianyi looked at Xiaomao with a smile while nibbling on the freshly cooked potatoes in his hand.
"Okay...if you can make me earn 10 yuan a day for a month, I will become your big brother. How about it? From now on, I will hang out with you. If anyone hits you, I will cut him."
Xiao Mao raised his neck and said decisively.
"Okay... follow me after dinner. Bring your ax and stove hook, and a bucket."
Tianyi looked at Xiaomao mysteriously and winked a few times.
"These are heavy weapons. Are you trying to rob someone's house? With your small body?"
Xi Mao looked at Tianyi from top to bottom and asked with disdain.
"Shh... the secret... you'll know it then!"
After saying that, Tianyi turned his head and continued watching TV.
"time to eat……….."
Xiangqin happily entered the house carrying a large bowl of shredded potatoes and a large bowl of rice.
"Ximao, take the bowl..."
Xiangqin glared at Xi Mao.
"Why don't you let her go? When she comes back, let me treat her as a little promise."
Xi Mao left with an unhappy expression.
"Tianyi is a guest, how can you let the guests work? You are a damn kid, you are out in the wild every day, and you don't know what you have done? Look at Tianyi, he ranks first in the whole grade in the exam, follow me more in the future Learn from me. Don't hang out with a bunch of brats in jail every day, just doing some sneaky things?"
Xiangqin placed a large pot of shredded potatoes in front of Tianyi, scolding her face with disgust.
"Try... Auntie's stir-fried potato shreds are definitely a must-have."
Xiangqin Laowang said boastfully that he was selling melons.
Tianyi looked at the potatoes in his hand, then at the pot of shredded potatoes in front of him, then at the bastard at the end of the table, and sighed.
"Asking you how much sorrow you can have is like a pot of shredded potatoes with potatoes..."
Looking at Tianyi who was shaking his head, Xiangqin smiled and said to Meifeng who had just taken off her apron and walked into the house.
"I can't understand what this kid is talking about. He's so literate..."
"Sometimes I can't understand what she says. She sounds like an old man, nervous. Leave her alone. Let's eat. Call the elder brother in quickly..."
The meal was a harmonious one. Tianyi hugged the potato seeds and ate the stir-fried potato shreds.
Meifeng holds rice and stir-fries shredded potatoes...
Only Xiangqin, his man, and their children were holding tortoise stewed eggs and eating rice. They were all smiling as they ate, and their love for scraping Dabai was finally over.
