Chapter 171 Gills Behind the Ears

Chapter 171 Seeing the Cheek Behind the Ear

Now it was Chen Jun's turn to cry, "Brother Chengcai, look at what I'm like now. I was injured just now. I won't have anywhere to go for a while. Can you give me two days of grace?"

Xu Chengcai chuckled, "Who is your brother? Don't get too close to me."

"Don't talk nonsense. Your head is injured and your limbs are fine. Move now."

Chen Jun went to pack his things with a sad face.

Huang Chunzhen let out a sigh of relief, but felt extremely sad. This family still had to have a man who could support her family. As long as she had a son, she would not be bullied by Chen Jun.

Cheng is Xu Changyou's cousin. Since Xu Zhiqiang left, thanks to him, he sometimes comes to visit the house and helps the two elders.

Xu Chengcai picked up the bucket that he had just put down, carried it to the stove room, and poured it into the water tank.

Huang Chunzhen followed him in with small steps, tears streaming down her face, "Thanks to you for becoming a talented person, otherwise I wouldn't know what to do."

Xu Chengcai said: "Mother, it's okay. As long as I'm here, he won't dare to bully you."

"Don't worry, I'll watch him leave before I go back."

Huang Chunzhen lifted up her apron and wiped her tears, "Okay, I'll go fry some pancakes. You can have breakfast and then go back."

Xu Chengcai came out of the kitchen house, moved a chair and sat in the yard, staring at Chen Jun in the room.

Chen Jun hesitated at first, planning not to move until Xu Chengcai left.

The old man in this family couldn't get out of bed, and the old woman had trouble walking with her little feet. How could they have the power to drive him out?

But looking at Xu Chengcai's attitude, he can't move now.

Chen Jun endured the discomfort in his body and packed his things. He carried his bed roll and walked out with heavy steps.

Xu Chengcai waited for him to walk out the door and slammed the door shut.

Chen Jun stood at the door and wanted to cry without tears. Where would he live in this cold weather?

He will definitely not be able to return to the collective household, and Chen Changqing is now trying to hold back his energy to kill him.

He didn't know anyone in this village. Chen Jun thought for a while and walked towards Liao's house.

The Liao family was close to a collective household. He knew that the Liao family had a simple population and had extra houses, and their house was also a brick house.

He dragged his luggage and stood outside Liao's house, knocking on the courtyard door. Aunt Lan quickly came over and opened the door.

Chen Jun said with a smile, "Auntie, I want to discuss something with you."

Aunt Lan nodded, "You say."

Chen Jun still used the same rhetoric as before, "The collective housing is leaking and I have no place to live now. I wonder if I can stay at your house for a while."

"I don't live in vain, I can carry water and firewood for your home."

He thought that both Liao Laizi and the woman in front of him were disabled, and they must need people to do these things.

Aunt Lan smiled and said, "That's not necessary. My father and brother helped me carry water and chop firewood at home."

Chen Jun was embarrassed for a while. He was in pain all over and had no strength to go any further. He gritted his teeth and said, "Aunt Lan, do you think this will work? Can I rent a room from your house for one yuan a month?"

After he finished speaking, he felt like his heart was bleeding. One dollar was not a small amount, but there was nothing he could do about it now. He had to survive the winter first.

Aunt Lan didn't know what happened yesterday. As soon as she heard that there was money to be made, she was willing to do it. She smiled and said, "I can't make the decision on this matter. I'll ask my man."

"Come in and sit down first."

She led Chen Jun into the house, made him sit down in the main room, and went in to talk to Liao Zhenyuan herself.

Liao Zhenyuan didn't know about Chen Jun's report. He didn't even know who Chen Jun was. He usually didn't participate in the labor of the production team and had little contact with the people in the team.

Hearing what Aunt Lan said, he was a little hesitant. It was nothing more than that he had to run out a lot, and only Lan Xiu and Rui'er were left at home. It was not convenient for a young man to live here.

Aunt Lan saw his concerns, but she wanted to earn this dollar, so she said to Uncle Liao, "It's okay. If you go out, I'll call Tao'er to stay here."

Tao'er is Aunt Lan's nephew, he is also fifteen or sixteen years old.

Uncle Liao pondered for a moment, "Let me take a look at his face first."

Only a kind person can let him in.

Uncle Liao came out and glanced at Chen Jun's face with his dazzling eyes, and then smiled at him and said: "I'm sorry, although there is an empty room at home, my apprentice often comes to live there. You can go to other houses and ask.

Bar."

Aunt Lan didn't expect her husband to reject her directly, but she held back and didn't say anything.

Chen Jun's face was full of disappointment and he wanted to say something else. Uncle Liao said: "I'm leaving, but I won't see you off."

Chen Jun had no choice but to get up, put his bed roll on his back, and dragged his luggage out.

Aunt Lan followed her out and closed the courtyard door. When she came back, she asked Uncle Liao, "What's wrong? You didn't say you wanted to take a look, so why did you drive them away?"

Uncle Liao said: "You can't touch your cheeks behind your ears, and your face is fleshy and your heart is like a knife."

"Although this man is not very old, he has both of them. He can be said to be a complete villain."

"Having such people live in our home will only bring trouble to the family."

Aunt Lan patted her chest, "It's okay, it's okay. Fortunately, my man has this ability to read faces."

When Chen Jun came out of Liao's house, he felt that there was no place in the world.

Only a few in this team have better conditions and can afford to live in brick houses, most of which are thatched houses, and each household has a large population.

He didn't want to be crowded with those smelly country people, so he stood on the road and blew in the cold wind for a while, then went to Xu Changgui's house with his blanket on his back.

The door to Xu Changgui's courtyard was not closed. Chen Jun dragged his luggage in. Xu Changgui happened to come out of the house and saw Chen Jun frowning, "What are you doing here again?"

He naturally knew about Chen Changqing's beating of Chen Jun yesterday, and now he hated this professional whistleblower to the core.

Chen Jun lowered his head, "Captain, I have no choice. I stayed at Xu Changyou's house for a few days, but now there is no room for me to live in his house. I can only find a way with you."

Xu Changgui said: "What can I do? I still say the same thing. You go to the village and look for yourself to see who is willing to take you in."

Chen Jun's voice was filled with tears, "Captain, I really have no choice."

"I'm a member of the team. You can't just watch me freeze to death outside in the middle of winter with no place to live."

Xu Changgui's face turned dark.

This is true. If Chen Jun really froze to death because he had no place to live, he, the captain, would be the one to blame.

Xu Changgui's brows knitted into knots, he really couldn't care less.

He suddenly raised his eyebrows and said, "There is a place, but I'm afraid you won't want to live there."

"There is a room next to the production team's pig pen, which is used to store pig feed. The room is big enough. Apart from storing the feed, half of the space is empty."

"If you want to live here, I'll give you the key."

Seeing that Chen Jun was silent, Xu Changgui said, "The house is airtight and the feed house was well built at that time. There is also a pot and stove in the house, which is usually used to cook pig food. You can use it too."
