Zheng Bajin just stopped talking and said nothing more.
He was even more certain that he had to explore the forest in Huangli Village. He was really worried if he didn't find the person who encouraged Zheng Baliang to take the drug.
It's like there is always a madman at your doorstep with a gun in his hand. You don't know when he will get sick or where he will shoot it?
However, since it is suspected that the missing persons are related to the mastermind behind the original drugging and Li Xi, then this person must be controlled first.
Even if he is a spy, as long as someone is watching him, he will not pose a major threat to himself.
Of course, ordinary people cannot keep an eye on him and must leave it to professionals.
Thinking of this, Zheng Bajin suddenly seemed like a different person and smiled: "It's just a joke, don't mind. I know, brother, you are not a person who is short of money. If you are here waiting for dividends, your brother must have done something wrong. I've made you angry. Here, brother, I'll keep you company. By the way, you can stay as long as you want from now on, and you won't be asked to pay any living expenses. Where is this? It's all a joke."
Li Xi: "..."
He never expected that Zheng Bajin would change his face faster than a woman, and smile so disgustingly that it made him feel uncomfortable. I thought to myself, is this kid holding something bad?
Before he could fully react, Zheng Bajin patted him on the shoulder, his kindness beyond words.
Li Xi was completely confused.
At this time, Shi Shi and Nian Jian'an had moved all fifty bicycles to the newly built bicycle shop.
There was no room for cars in the factory. A fire was already burning and meat was being smoked and fried.
At this time, the canteen was closed, Xiaocao was doing homework inside, and Zhang Xiaoe was cooking.
Zheng Bajin asked Zhang Xiaoyang to greet the historian and make him a glass of water. Zheng Bajin entered the canteen and said he wanted to see if Xiaocao had finished his homework and that he was about to eat.
When Xiaocao saw Zheng Bajin coming in, she raised her head and called her brother-in-law.
Zheng Bajin smiled and said, "Have you finished your homework? It's almost time to eat."
Xiaocao nodded and said hurry up. He lowered his head and continued to do his homework.
Zheng Bajin picked up the phone. After getting through, he didn't ask who the other party was. He just said a few words and asked him to send someone as soon as possible. There was a stranger named Li Xi in Shili Village who might be related to that matter.
After saying that, he hung up the phone without giving the other party time to ask questions.
Zheng Bajin was about to leave when the phone rang.
He frowned, thinking that it would never end. It was none of his business to scare people away by saying too much.
While still thinking about it, Xiaocao ran over, picked up the phone, and asked in a sweet voice: "Hello, who are you talking to?"
"Okay, okay, you'll call me in ten minutes." After Xiaocao said that, he put down the phone and trotted out.
Zheng Bajin was stunned. When did Xiaocao become so hardworking?
Xiaocao had already gone out and met Nian Jianan. She said she was looking for someone to answer the phone.
Nian Jian'an didn't stop her, but asked her to run slower and be careful about falling.
It turned out that this was not a call from Mr. Yang, but a call from someone who went out to work in the village.
Zheng Bajin stood at the entrance of the canteen, looking at Xiaocao walking away, a little distracted. This must be someone who wanted to pay Xiaocao for running errands, but he didn't know how much he would give. However, for a child, a dime is still money. At this time, you can buy three fruit candies.
This is the temptation of money to people, and children are no exception.
Alas, isn't this bad? If you cultivate the concept of money from an early age, will it be okay when you grow up?
A few minutes later, an old man followed Xiaocao and gave Xiaocao a dollar.
Xiaocao happily showed it to Zheng Bajin.
Zheng Bajin understood that this must be Zhang Xiao'e's idea. They were all from the village. The adults were too embarrassed to accept the money, so they asked the children to come forward.
One dollar is already a lot for a farmer.
Others, including Li Xi, seemed to be used to this kind of operation and didn't find it strange. They didn't say there was anything wrong with it.
Zheng Bajin also knew that there was nothing wrong with it, and some people even charged people a dime to watch TV. But, if you let a child collect money, you are not afraid of spoiling her?
Zheng Bajin has been reluctant to let his family buy a TV for this reason. Too many people came to watch, which affected his work and disturbed social order.
Those boys and girls crowded together are prone to impulsiveness and accidents.
Moreover, today's TVs are too expensive. A fourteen-inch color TV costs several thousand. Even if it is black and white, you can still buy two big fat pigs. In a few years, there will be a big price cut. Then, wouldn’t it be nice to buy a 21-inch color TV for more than two thousand yuan?
The most important thing is that the current signal is so poor that you can't even see people clearly, you can only hear sounds, and the noise is so loud that it can easily blind your eyes and damage your ears.
It can be said that it does a lot of harm and no good at all!
At this time, Zhang Xiao'e came out and said that the meal was ready and everyone should come and eat.
The person who answered the phone also left. Zheng Bajin closed the door and followed him back home for dinner.
Looking at the three dishes and one soup on the table, they taste pretty good. It has to be said that Zhang Xiao'e has become a completely different person since she married Nian Jian'an. No more fooling around, no more hooking up with others, she has become a completely good wife.
It seems that she really married the right man. Old people know how to love others, have money and things.
Li Xi was not polite at all. He treated this place as his own home, picked up the bowl and ate.
Zhang Xiao'e is pregnant with the child and her temper has improved. She can't contact the vicious woman back then.
Zheng Bajin had to lament the ever-changing world.
Xiaocao happily ate her meal and told Zheng Bajin angrily that she earned three yuan today. I have to save it to buy new clothes for my sister in the future.
Zheng Bajin even laughed and said seriously: "Sister already has new clothes, so you don't have to worry about her. You can save them for your future studies."
Xiaocao glanced at Zheng Bajin and asked, "Really!"
"Of course it's true." Zheng Bajin wanted to say that she was now a boss. She also owned a store in the city and earned a lot of money in a day. However, after taking a look at Li Xi, she changed the topic and said, "Eat Don't talk when you're doing it, it's not good for your stomach."
Xiaocao nodded. She firmly believed in her brother-in-law's words. At some point, she began to admire the man who pulled her sister out of the sea of misery.
Nian Jian'an didn't come to the house to eat, he wanted to watch the bicycle shop. Zhang Xiao'e found a large bowl, scooped out half a bowl of rice, spread a thick layer of vegetables on top, and even fried a poached egg.
Here, it suddenly became quiet, making Li Xi feel very depressed.
Suddenly, Wang Tianhua walked in.
Zheng Bajin was a little surprised. After seeing him for a long time, Wang Tianhua seemed to be a different person. The main reason was that the clothes on his body were completely new. A straight suit and a red tie were very conspicuous.
He was also looking at Zheng Bajin and was surprised by his dressing up. When Zheng Bajin went out, he was dressed in a somewhat tacky style. Now he is also wearing a suit, just like a legendary successful person.
"I heard that you borrowed money from someone else, and this person has been asking for debt at your house? Why didn't you tell me about the money difference?" Wang Tianhua looked at Zheng Bajin with a smile, and while speaking, he didn't forget to glance at Li Xi.
It can be seen that Wang Tianhua must have made a lot of money from his accounts in more than a year.
