With a click, the door was kicked open.
A woman's scream immediately came from the kang.
Immediately afterwards, there was a banging sound, followed by the screams of men and women who were covered in quilts.
…
The next morning, Chen Erniu came while Lin Xiao was still sleeping.
He whispered in Lin Xiao's ear: "I heard that Liu Xiong was beaten last night and was carried out from Zhao Qiang's house. Liu Futang's face has been completely humiliated this time."
"Really? Liu Futang didn't care when his son was beaten?"
Lin Xiao said and started to get dressed.
Chen Erniu chuckled and said, "How dare he take care of such an embarrassing thing?"
"People in their family like to do embarrassing things, except Liu Qingqing."
Lin Xiao said as he put on his clothes. As soon as he jumped off the kang, he saw Liu Qingqing walking in with a panicked expression.
If you really say Cao Cao, Cao Cao will be there.
Chen Erniu smiled evilly, turned around and left.
"Why haven't you gone to work yet?"
Lin Xiao asked softly, a little embarrassed.
Liu Qingqing let out a sigh of relief and said, "You guys are making such a fuss, how can I go to work with peace of mind?
Let me tell you the truth! Although you injured my third brother and caused my family to lose money, my father was not convinced from the bottom of his heart.
My mother brought the dog to make trouble, and my second brother came to see you at night. It was all arranged by my father. Fortunately, nothing serious happened.
My third brother was beaten violently at Zhao Qiang's house last night. My dad guessed it was you. He didn't dare to come to you for this matter, but secretly he would do something evil.
You know that we, the old Liu family, all listen to him. If you continue to fight like this, something big will happen sooner or later. Take my advice and leave Banpo Village for the time being. You can still get ahead outside based on your ability. .
The one who can stretch and bend is a dragon; the one who can only stretch but not bend is an insect. "
Liu Qingqing said this in one breath and quickly turned around and left. After all, the relationship between their two families was like this, and it was really not suitable for her to run to Lin Xiao's house.
Lin Xiao fell into deep thought. Liu Qingqing's words were correct and very reasonable.
"My child, Miss Liu is right. Your father and I heard everything. If you go out to avoid it, maybe it will pass. You can rest assured at home."
Suddenly Liu Xiuzhi walked in and said.
Lin Xiao saw his mother worried about him, so he gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! I'll go to the county to find something to do."
***
He had just come back and was about to leave again. Although his family and two good brothers were reluctant to leave, they all believed that as long as Lin Xiao stayed in the village, the Liu family would never give up.
Leaving is only temporary and the best choice.
After simply packing his bags, Lin Xiao chose to leave at night in order not to be seen by the villagers.
Walking on the dark mountain road under the starry sky, there would be a few wolf howls from time to time, but Lin Xiao was not afraid at all.
The strong perseverance he had developed in the army supported him in rushing all the way. He left the village at about three o'clock in the night and waited until dawn when Lin Xiao had arrived in Qindong County.
Looking at this strange yet familiar place, Lin Xiao really had mixed feelings in his heart.
To say familiar, it was the high school where he attended for two years, so he was quite familiar with some places.
To say it is unfamiliar, after all, he has been away from here for more than four years, and there are still some changes here.
What kind of job are you looking for? Lin Xiao began to feel troubled.
There are indeed many factories in the county, but they are all state-owned units. Even if he works for free, they will not want him.
Just when Lin Xiao was looking around with his luggage on his back, a little at a loss, someone suddenly stood in front of him.
"Ha! Is it really you? Looking for a job?"
Lin Xiao was slightly startled. He couldn't help but look up and saw that the person standing in front of him was the old man he met in the alley.
Lin Xiao looked at the old man and didn't know what to say for a moment. He was very tough that day.
"What? You don't know each other after not seeing each other for two or three days?
Let me introduce to you, I am Huang Wenbing. If I guess correctly, you should be a veteran. "
The old man smiled as he spoke.
Lin Xiao felt like meeting an old friend in a foreign land. He smiled quickly and said, "Hello, Mr. Huang, my attitude that day..."
"No! Mr. Huang, just call me Lao Huang from now on.
I was afraid that you would suffer a loss that day, so I said that.
alright! Stop talking about this and come with me to eat a bowl of noodles. "
As Old Huang said this, he stretched out his hand and pulled Lin Xiao into a small restaurant on the roadside.
Two side dishes and a bowl of noodles each.
"Food is the most important thing for the people. If your stomach is settled first, everything will be easy to handle. There is no mountain of flames that you cannot overcome."
Lao Huang saw what Lin Xiao was thinking, and he handed the chopsticks to Lin Xiao's hand with a smile.
After walking for most of the night, I was really hungry.
No matter, let’s finish eating first.
Lin Xiao picked up the bowl and ate it. It could be said that he finished the bowl of noodles like a whirlwind.
"one more bowl?"
Lao Huang looked at Lin Xiao and asked happily.
In fact, Lin Xiao still wanted to eat. He couldn't get enough of the bowl of noodles in the restaurant, and he had walked such a long way.
But when he thought about them meeting by chance and having dinner with them for no reason, it would be a bit much if he paid for the meal.
When Lin Xiao thought of this, he quickly shook his head and said, "No, I'm full."
"Okay, I was young too. At your age, I could eat three or four bowls in one meal, or two bowls at a time.
Go ahead and eat, I'll treat you to this meal. "
Lao Huang laughed and asked Lin Xiao for another bowl of noodles.
After finishing two bowls of noodles, Lin Xiao smiled sheepishly.
"We are not familiar with each other, but you treating me like this makes me a little..."
"Ha! Let me tell you the truth! I could see clearly what happened that day in the courtyard. I admire you very much. You are indeed a man.
In addition, I have also joined the army and been on the battlefield. I like a bloody man like you.
The reason is enough! "
Lao Huang interrupted Lin Xiao and said with a laugh.
Lin Xiao didn't expect that Lao Huang was also a soldier. No wonder he always felt that there was something familiar about Lao Huang.
"Okay, don't feel weird, there are still many good people in this world.
In fact, I have been following you for a long time, and it seems that you have nowhere to go. Otherwise, I will contact you for a job, but it is a bit tiring and the salary is not high. "
Lao Huang was very happy, and his two words touched Lin Xiao's heart.
When Lin Xiao heard this, he said excitedly: "I'm not afraid of being tired. I was born in a rural area and trained in the army for more than four years. I can endure any hardship."
"That's good. Find a place to stay first, and then take your time. Gold will shine wherever you put it."
As he spoke, Lao Huang took out a paper and pen and wrote a note.
***
In the morning, he was still worried about finding a job, but in the afternoon, with the note given to him by Lao Huang, Lin Xiao successfully became a temporary worker in the city's second construction project.
The dormitory for temporary workers is a large house with two rows of large shops housing about thirty people.
Lin Xiao's bed was in the corner. Just as he was making the bed, someone suddenly patted him on the shoulder and said, "New here? Give me a basin of water to wash my feet."
