It was still early, so Wang Weidong took Da Mao and his four brothers to the venue.
But the Temple of Heaven Park is too far away, and with these short legs, we probably won’t be able to get there even after dark.
There is no way, Erba Dagang can only turn on the Transformers mode.
Xiu'er sat in the back seat, and Da Mao stood behind Xiu'er. There are still two and three hairs hanging on the front bumper.
It weighs more than 400 kilograms for adults and children. Fortunately, the 28 large bars are of good quality, but the wheels are a little flat.
"Jingle bell!" The dishonest Ermao kept ringing the bell, causing passers-by to stop and look sideways at him.
Huo, where are you juggling? !
It was getting dark, so Wang Weidong and his four children visited all the nearby parks.
The children's acting skills are getting better and better, and the results are getting better every time.
Wave after wave of old men and old ladies crowded in to go to the street office.
Wang Weidong was so happy that it was all money!
Considering that the children also wanted to celebrate Liang Ladi's birthday, the drama performance ended.
After the performance is over, the pay will naturally be paid.
Liang Damao and the others performed a total of five performances today, and their total remuneration was one yuan and two-five cents.
When Wang Weidong was about to pay, Da Mao decided that he didn't want the money, but wanted to exchange it for food.
Because food is more cost-effective than money, a pound of meat costs 78 cents, but you still need meat coupons to buy it.
The cakes in the pastry shop also require flour stamps.
For the sake of their filial piety, Wang Weidong agreed without much thought.
Carrying the four children, we arrived at Fuhua Zhai Cake Shop near Huguo Temple.
The background of this pastry shop is not small. The founder came from a family of royal chefs and once served the Queen Mother of the West.
But now, it is a public-private partnership.
The comrade waiter stood behind the vermilion counter and asked the children what kind of pastries they wanted to buy.
All pastries on the enamel plate are shortened with large amounts of oil, and the crust is as white as snow, as light as a feather, as thin as a cicada's wing, and can be broken by a blow.
The children were dazzled and swallowed their saliva.
But after a good deal on the price, Liang Damao finally made the decision and weighed half a catty of custard cake bars and chrysanthemum cakes.
Liang Ladi likes to eat milk cakes, while Xiuer prefers chrysanthemum cakes.
Wang Weidong did not express any opinion. The money was earned by the children and should be used by them.
Then, I went to Chaoyang Vegetable Market and bought two kilograms of pork.
Add some green vegetables, onions, ginger and garlic.
After all the miscellaneous calculations, excluding tickets, it cost three yuan and ten cents.
Faced with Liang Damao's pleading eyes, Wang Weidong said angrily that the extra 60 cents would be considered an advance advance.
In the future, it will be deducted from their salary.
Liang Damao curled his lips, this Wang Weidong is really generous!
Wang Weidong just pretended not to see it and took the children to Nan Yi's house on his bicycle.
Ask Nan Yi to help cook a few dishes.
The last time these kids shared pork, after having a meal in the cafeteria, they kept thinking about Nan Yi's cooking skills.
With enough ingredients, Nanyi naturally came to mind first.
With Wang Weidong helping to speak, Nan Yi naturally did not refuse and took the time to make stir-fried pork, twice-cooked pork, and Sixi meatballs for them.
Not to mention, the food sales are no worse than those in big hotels.
After staying at Nan Yi's house for more than half an hour, Wang Weidong sent the food back to Liang's house along with the four Damao brothers and sisters, and then returned to Nan Yi's house
When he was just cooking, Nan Yi made two more hard dishes using the ingredients given by Wang Weidong, and was waiting for him to have two glasses of wine.
Anyway, Lou Xiao'e went back to Lou's house to sleep after shopping, so Wang Weidong didn't need to worry about dinner.
Watching Wang Weidong disappear from his house in the alley on his bicycle, Da Mao scratched his head.
He couldn't tell whether he had made a profit or a loss just now.
He didn't use the meat ticket to buy meat, and Wang Weidong lent him 60 cents, which was definitely a profit.
But that guy from Nanyi said that the cook couldn't cook for free, so he left two large plates of meat dishes.
This must be a loss, right?
Liang Damao kept this incident in his heart.
Nanyi, you guy who took advantage of me, I will look good with you in the future!
****
"What kind of vision? My craftsmanship is not much better than that of the tailor Zhou on the street!"
In the alley, Liang Ladi was muttering as she pushed her bicycle toward home.
Although she is a level 6 welder, it is not easy to support four children with that salary.
So she would often take on some clothes-making work from outside.
It's just that her craftsmanship is really hard to describe. After being fooled twice, everyone is no longer willing to ask her to make clothes again.
No matter what the material is, the styles are all the same, so what’s going on? !
Liang Ladi didn't know it, but she still felt that she was the top tailor in the capital.
When she walked to the door of her house, Liang Ladi was stunned for a moment when she found that the house was completely dark.
Mumbling monkey children, shouldn't they go to other people's houses to show off again? !
In the past, Da Mao and the others often went to other people's homes to do homework in order to save her some electricity bills.
After parking the bicycle, Liang Ladi opened the door and walked in.
Just as he was about to reach out and turn on the light, a faint light came on in front of him.
The young singing voice also rang out.
"I wish you longevity and longevity, and wish you a happy birthday. May you have this day every year..."
Looking at the four children holding cakes in their hands and walking slowly towards her, Liang Ladi reached out and covered her mouth, feeling a warm current flowing in her heart.
She never thought that after her husband passed away, someone would still celebrate her birthday.
The naughty children who used to worry her so much that they would go to Fangjiwa without being beaten for a day seemed to have grown up.
Da Mao brought his three younger brothers and sisters to Liang Ladi, looked up at his mother, and shouted in unison: "Mom, happy birthday!"
Liang Ladi was just moved before, but now she was choked up.
She wanted to speak, but her mouth opened and no sound came out.
Tears fell from her face, and Liang Ladi couldn't bear it any longer, so she knelt down and hugged the children.
Da Mao yelled in panic.
"Mom, cake, the cake is going to fall!"
Liang Ladi ignored Da Mao and put her four little heads together with her face.
At this moment, she felt that all the hard work in the past was worth it!
It took a while before Liang Ladi realized, where did this cake come from?
She usually doesn't give her children pocket money at all. How can they afford cakes?
Liang Ladi's attitude towards life is still very upright.
In order to raise her children, she can sacrifice her appearance to a certain extent, but she will never allow her children to do sneaky things.
The emotion in her heart immediately dissipated. She let go of the four Da Mao brothers and asked with a serious face: "Where did the cake come from?"
The Da Mao brothers and sisters were still quite afraid of Liang Ladi. Seeing her stern tone, they immediately lowered their heads.
"Wang, Uncle Wang bought it." Da Mao replied cautiously.
Liang Ladi frowned and asked, "Which Uncle Wang?"
"It's Uncle Wang who has a very good relationship with Uncle Niu. He even helped Maverick make a match gun, and he's very impressive."
Liang Ladi naturally knew that Uncle Niu in Da Mao's mouth meant Niu Zhijun.
The only one who has a good relationship with him and whose surname is Wang is Wang Weidong.
Thinking of Wang Weidong, a strange expression flashed across Liang Ladi's face. She stared at Da Mao and asked, "Why would he buy you a cake?"
Da Mao still wanted to find a reason to cover up, but the younger sister Xiu'er was outspoken. She raised her hand and said to Liang Ladi as if to take credit: "Mom, we helped Uncle Wang work today, and this cake is his reward for us. "
"Work? What work?"
Is it sewing bags? impossible!
Liang Ladi went to Jiao Min to intercede with Wang Weidong, but she was rejected even though she wanted a temporary worker spot.
Will Wang Weidong take the initiative to arrange work for the children?
...
You talk so much, now we can’t even save any money! Da Mao glared at Xiu'er fiercely.
Seeing that his money-making plan had been exposed, he stopped blocking it.
He told Liang Ladi exactly what happened this afternoon.
After listening to this, Liang Ladi's eyes became brighter and brighter.
"You mean, as long as you help put on some drama, you can get twenty-five cents a time?"
"Yes!" Da Mao nodded vigorously.
Liang Ladi couldn't help but make a calculation in her heart. According to Damao, they had a total of five performances today, which was only one dollar and twenty-five cents.
If this happened every day, wouldn't it cost thirty-seven and five yuan a month? !
Good guy, the monitor of the cafeteria class only makes so much money in a month.
Liang Ladi hurriedly asked: "Did he say he would continue tomorrow?"
"As I said, Uncle Wang asked us to wait for him in front of the gate of the steel rolling mill after school."
If it were any other job, Liang Ladi might not agree to let her children go, but acting in a drama sounds quite relaxing.
Wang Weidong was a fairly reliable person, and he offered so much that Liang Ladi really couldn't think of a reason to refuse.
Seeing that Liang Ladi was silent, Da Mao thought she didn't like his brother and sister's drama, so he said cautiously: "Mom, don't be angry. If you don't like it, we'll just stop doing it."
Liang Ladi suddenly woke up from her thoughts: "Do it, why not do it?"
The Da Mao brothers and sisters were relieved and smiled sweetly.
Liang Ladi looked at the cake held by Da Mao and asked, "You have been busy all afternoon just to buy this?"
"of course not!"
The Da Mao brothers and sisters pulled Liang Ladi's clothes and walked to the dining table.
From a distance, Liang Ladi could already smell the tempting aroma of meat.
When I got closer, I saw the food placed on the square table.
She was both happy and annoyed at the same time.
I am happy that my child is not only sensible but also capable.
The regret is that the food on this table is so extravagant and wasteful. If converted into money, it would be enough for her family's food expenses for a week.
"Who did this? Don't tell me it's your Uncle Wang again." Liang Ladi said.
This time the children all shook their heads, and Da Mao smiled and said, "Master Nan Yinan made this. We asked Uncle Wang to find him."
It turned out to be made by Nanyi, so no wonder these dishes are so exquisite.
Liang Ladi is an old worker in the steel rolling mill, so she naturally knows Nanyi's superb cooking skills.
After Si Zhu's father, He Daqing, ran away, Nan Yi served as the canteen class monitor for a long time. It was not until Nan Yi was tricked by Deputy Director Li that he rushed to clean the toilet, and then He Yuzhu took over.
Seeing the delicious food on this table, Liang Ladi felt very sad.
It’s all meat and vegetables, it’s so sinful!
Even when she got married, she had never had such a sumptuous meal.
But she couldn't bear to blame her child for her filial piety.
Forget it, it was an unexpected fortune anyway, just a luxury. She, Liang Ladi, also followed the example of a wealthy family and celebrated her birthday!
So she greeted the children: "Why are you still standing there? Sit down and eat quickly. This dish should be cold by now."
"Mom, you haven't blown out the candles yet!" Da Mao said, holding up the cake in his hand.
Liang Ladi looked at the little cake, smiled and touched Da Mao's head, saying, "I don't know where I learned this fancy thing."
"I heard from the fat guy in class that foreigners who celebrate their birthdays at Lao Mo's restaurant will put candles on their cakes." As Da Mao spoke, he took out a candle from his schoolbag.
The candle was borrowed from Xiaopang at the cost of two days of homework.
Liang Ladi had also heard this saying. She took the candle and put it on the cake, and asked with a smile: "Da Mao, a candle represents one year old, or ten years old. But my mother is already thirty years old today, what should I do? ?”
this...
Da Mao's little face suddenly wrinkled, and he complained in his heart that Little Fatty was too stingy.
Er Mao, San Mao and Xiu'er also held their chins and rested their elbows on the square table, thinking hard.
Liang Ladi saw the children's serious looks and decided not to tease them anymore.
There’s cake to eat, so what else do you need candles!
"Mom, I know!" Xiu'er raised her hand, ran to the cabinet, moved a stool, and took out two mirrors from inside.
What is this kid going to do? Liang Ladi was confused.
I saw Xiu'er placing two mirrors on the table under the confused gazes of her mother and brothers.
Then he pointed to the flickering candlelight in the mirror, with a happy face: "Mom, look, aren't there three candles now?"
this....
Liang Ladi suddenly picked up Xiu'er and kissed her hard.
"Xiu'er, you're so smart!"
After hearing this, the children were unhappy and raised their hands one after another:
"Mom, I'm smart too. You don't know that in the square, I memorized a long paragraph in one breath!"
"And me. If I hadn't pulled my brother along, I wouldn't have been able to perform the play."
...
"Well, my good children, you are all my mother's treasures." Liang Ladi kissed each of her little cheeks.
Then, get ready to blow out the candles.
Da Mao didn't want to but took the cake away and said, "Mom, you haven't made a wish yet!"
Liang Ladi was stunned for a moment and asked, "What wish do you want to make?"
Ermao said seriously: "Mom, foreigners will make a wish before blowing out the candles. It's very effective!"
"Ah? Is that so?"
Da Mao, Er Mao, San Mao and Xiu'er all nodded seriously.
Liang Ladi smiled. Although she didn't believe this, she still followed the child's instructions, closed her eyes and made a wish, "I wish my child would grow up healthy and happy!"
Then the candles were blown out.
Then the five members of the Liang family were in trouble.
Which comes first, the cake or the meal?
This is a serious problem!
....
"Nanyi, Nanyi!"
Wang Weidong pushed Nan Yi several times, who was lying on the table, but the guy didn't react at all.
"You still say you won't get drunk after a thousand cups, is that all?!"
After shaking his head, Wang Weidong dragged Nan Yi to the kang, covered him with a quilt, turned off the light, and left.
....
After leaving the house, a gust of cold wind blew by. Wang Weidong couldn't help but shuddered and tightened the collar of his cotton-padded jacket.
The weather is getting colder.
He put on cotton gloves and rode his bicycle towards the courtyard.
It was pitch black all around, and between the sky and the earth, the only sound was the sound of wheels running over the frozen ground.
When we returned to the courtyard, it was almost eleven o'clock in the evening, and every household had turned off the lights and went to bed.
A gust of wind blew, and the whistling sound completely covered up the sound of the wheels.
As soon as Wang Weidong entered the middle courtyard, he saw two black figures sneaking around in front of his house.
A thief?
He pushed his bicycle and hid behind the old locust tree, using the dim moonlight to see.
The shorter figure asked the person who had just come out of the room: "Have everything been put away?"
"Put it away!" The tall figure nodded: "I guarantee that everything will be safe this time. I will go to the street police station to report the case early tomorrow morning!"
The short figure said worriedly: "It won't be like last time, right?"
"How can it be such a coincidence? Last time, the wooden box was small and easy to hide, but this time the target is so big, plus he will most likely not come back tonight. When the police come tomorrow, we will just knock down the door. Come on, even if he jumps into the Yellow River, he won’t be able to clean himself!”
"But he won't let us lose, right? Don't forget the lesson Yi Zhonghai learned last time."
"He is about to go to jail. How can he still think about this? Okay, stop nagging and go back quickly. It's very cold outside!"
Two figures, one tall and one short, tiptoed back to Xu Damao's house.
From beginning to end, neither of them noticed. Wang Weidong witnessed all this with his own eyes and even heard their conversation clearly.
When both of them entered Xu Damao's house, Wang Weidong walked forward expressionlessly.
He checked the lock on his door. There was no sign of damage.
Wang Weidong was very confused last time as to how Xu Damao's parents got into his room.
This door lock is a mechanical lock, and ordinary thieves cannot open it.
Even if a professional locksmith wants to open it, it will take a lot of time.
While thinking about it, Wang Weidong remembered that when he was repairing the door, he seemed to have left a key with the carpenter.
At that time, I thought about giving him two more guns in case of emergencies.
I have been so busy during this period that I forgot about it.
Now it seems that the key was probably given to them by the carpenter.
It's just that the carpenter looked honest and honest, so he shouldn't have cooperated with Xu Damao's parents to do such a thing!
It seems that I still need to ask the carpenter for clarification.
but.
The most important thing now is to find out what Xu Damao's parents put in his room.
Could it be another antique?
If true, Wang Weidong would have to thank the old Xu family for their contribution on behalf of the museum.
Opening the door and walking into the house, Wang Weidong quickly pulled out a vase over half a meter high from under the kang.
The base color of white porcelain and the azure glaze color are covered with landscape patterns. The green and white strokes on the blank outline change from thick to light, making it look elegant and refined.
When I brought it to my nose, I felt a strong earthy smell.
Freshly unearthed Yuan Qinghua?
Wang Weidong didn't understand porcelain, but he also knew that this was another great antique.
His face suddenly looked strange.
If Xu Damao does this, does he count as the captain of the transportation team?
He directly put the thing into the space and placed it next to the tiger charm.
Want to use unearthed cultural relics to frame him?
What a sweet dream!
Wang Weidong is no longer in a hurry to report Xu and his wife. He wants to see how many antiques they can get.
If there are more antiques, he might be able to open a museum of his own in the future.
Delightful!
After boiling some hot water and washing up, Wang Weidong lay down on the kang.
Without a stupid moth sleeping beside him, he quickly fell into a deep sleep.
zzzz
.......
The next day.
In the haze, Wang Weidong heard a noise coming from outside.
"Han Suo, this is it!"
"you sure?"
"Yes! I saw it with my own eyes last night. He left after putting the things in!"
"Han Suo, Han Suo, this is the house where Comrade Wang Weidong lives. Is there any misunderstanding here? I don't think Comrade Wang Weidong is someone who steals national treasures! Team Chen from the district came here yesterday."
"..."
The sound became louder and louder, and Wang Weidong was awakened by this time.
He also recognized the voices speaking outside. One belonged to Xu Jixiang, and the other belonged to Han from the street police station. The voice speaking for him seemed to belong to Yan Bugui.
