Chapter 9 Is Xiao Cheng sick?

 The old hen clucked a few times, lowered her head and pecked at the leaves.

In addition to the chicken pen, there is also a piece of land in the backyard. It is not very big and looks green as far as the eye can see.

 There are cabbage, lettuce, sweet wheat vegetables... There is also a circle of white radishes planted on the edge. Each one is fat and thick, half of its body protruding from the mud, and the garden is full of green.

Xiao Cheng has been away from home for three days, and he has no intention of staying any longer. He has never been to the backyard, let alone growing vegetables and raising chickens. These are all the fruits of classmate Xiaowei's labor!

Bai Lu was really impressed and sad at the same time. She took away the eggs, picked some cabbage sums, and washed them carefully.

 Put it into a small bamboo sieve to drain the water.

I practiced Juntiquan again in the yard to exercise my body, and then I went out slowly.

 “The waves are running, the waves are flowing, the river is rolling thousands of miles and never stops, and when the treasure is exhausted, everything in the world…”

The radio in Li Shuixian's shop was playing "Shanghai Tang", and she sang along with it. The sound was so unpleasant that even the stray dogs on the roadside found it disgusting. They yelled a few times and ran away.

There is no one who can ruin the classic golden songs of the times like this.

Bai Lu braved the risk of her ears being killed by the polluted sound, walked in and knocked on the cashier.

Li Shuixian howled a little tune and turned around, smiling so hard that her eyes narrowed: "Lulu is here."

Before scraping the money, he pointed to the new tape recorder and showed it off to Bai Lu: "This thing is called a tape recorder. You must have never seen it before. This is a new baby. We are the only ones in the whole town who have it. My husband just left the city yesterday." I brought it back here and bought it for more than 800 yuan!”

"Look, this is called an antenna. I heard that you can search for channels and listen to programs, etc., which is really new!" Li Shuixian said and started to point fingers, insisting on performing for Bai Lu.

"Besides, this tape recorder can also sing. Look, if you put a tape here and put it in, you can sing right away. It's also very easy to learn. I can sing after just two attempts. Listen to how beautiful I just sang. It's so beautiful. Like, it’s not any different from what’s sung in it, is it?”

Before Bai Lu could answer, Li Shuixian sang a verse on the spot, howling so furiously that ghosts cried and wolves howled.

As if it wasn't enough, his fat limbs began to swing wildly.

Bai Lu watched her going crazy quietly.

 When she looked over, she also showed expressions of surprise, shock, and admiration.

Li Shuixian's vanity was greatly satisfied. After showing off, he took a small handkerchief and wiped his sweat while asking her: "How much did Xiao Cheng give you when he came back last night?"

 “One thousand pieces.”

Bai Lu stretched out a finger, her stupid look was exactly the same as before.

 “One thousand yuan! So much!” Li Shuixian’s eyes were shining with gold as he looked straight into her pocket.

"Where's the money? Where did you put it? Have you brought it? Give it to me quickly and I'll buy you a better ticket, a sleeper berth, where you can not only sit but also sleep, with a separate compartment!"

Bai Lu shook her head honestly: "He's going back again."

"Why do you want to take it back after giving it to me? What's going on?" Li Shuixian was dubious and looked worried.

Bai Lu was also very anxious. She grabbed her clothes and said, "He said I gave the money to my brother and he won't give me any more money in the future."

Li Shuixian frowned: "How could he say that? Didn't you give it to me? Didn't you explain it?"

"I explained." Bai Lu looked aggrieved: "I even took out the one hundred yuan. When Xiao Cheng took the money back, he still didn't believe it and said that I didn't give it to my brother. Why did he only have one hundred yuan left? Ask me What did you buy?"

 “I can’t tell…”

Seeing that one thousand yuan was wasted, Li Shuixian's body ached, "Xiao Cheng must be sick!"

“You’ve been living here for more than two months and you don’t have to buy groceries or anything. How long can more than five hundred yuan last? It’s all gone when you go out to buy a few sets of clothes.”

After gritting his teeth and cursing, Li Shuixian looked at Bai Lu with hatred: "Then what should we do now?"

 “There’s not enough money to buy a ticket.”

Bai Lu's face was full of sadness and despair, and her eyes were red with anxiety: "I, I don't know either." She couldn't say yes directly, it would be too obvious.

 Let's not even mention the money. Let her throw it away. No matter how you go around, there is only one way in the end.

 This method can only be suggested by Li Shuixian. If she mentioned it, Li Shuixian would definitely be wary and not believe her.

Bai Lu stood aside dryly, digging her fingers into the counter, looking at Li Shuixian with hope.

Li Shuixian thought about it, stared at her over and over again, and tentatively said, "Does Xiao Cheng mean that as long as you can prove that you didn't give money to your brother, he will continue to give money to your family in the future?"

  Bai Lu bit her lower lip and shook her head in confusion: "I don't know, that's what he said. Anyway, no matter how much money I give you, you will give it to your brother. It's better not to give it."

 “If you want to buy something in the future, he will buy it.”

  Xiao Cheng Lu Ziye knows all the three religions and nine schools, and he will definitely not buy anything at Li Shuixian's store.

Li Shuixian has seen that Xiao Cheng is hooking up with the boss of the rice processing factory. Maybe in the future, all the rice will be taken from the rice boss, and she won't make a penny.

 Let alone the one thousand yuan.

"Xiao Cheng really told you this?" Li Shuixian still had doubts, but the person he doubted was not Bai Lu, the stupid idiot, but Xiao Cheng, the shrewd and ruthless bully.

   Bai Lu's face was not red, his heart was not beating, and he was breathless and nodded seriously: "Yes."

“Xiao Cheng has seen my brother come to see me several times, and he always thought that I gave my brother the money.”

Li Shuixian narrowed her eyes. She definitely wanted a thousand yuan, and she also thought of a way.

 But it’s a bit risky, she’s still considering it.

Diagonally across the street, there is a bicycle shop. Inside, a group of domineering men are collecting payment from the boss with reminder notes from suppliers.

 “Brother Cheng, isn’t that sister-in-law?”

The man with a cigarette in his mouth raised his chin towards the other end of the street and said to the man next to him.

The man raised his eyes, took out the cigarette from his mouth, lit it in the ashtray on the boss's counter, and put it out.

He wiped the corners of his lips with his slender white fingertips and said lightly: "Yes."

Xiao Dazhuang, who was collecting the money with a sack on the side, came over and said, "What are you doing there, sister-in-law? That store is always cheating people. Should we go over and support my sister-in-law?"

 The other man nodded in agreement.

Sister-in-law is stupid and naive. If she goes to a black shop to buy things, she should not defraud Brother Cheng of all his money.

Xiao Cheng withdrew his gaze, sat down on the wooden chair, raised one leg, and said coldly: "No need."

The brothers shut up immediately.

It's because they are nosy. The relationship between Brother Cheng and his sister-in-law is not good. It is their turn to meddle in other people's business.

The shop owner was very attentive to making tea for Xiao Cheng. He didn't dare to ask more questions, let alone chase people away.

 “Who else is missing?” Xiao Cheng asked.

Luo Shiliu knew what he was asking and replied: "Boss Li from the city dock sand and gravel yard went to work out of town a few days ago. I heard that he will be back in the next two days."

 Last order.

 Xiao Cheng picked up the tea in front of him and took a sip.

“Then the landlady actually gave money to my sister-in-law, what’s going on?” Wang Hao went out to throw a cigarette butt, looking surprised.
