After Wang Gang heard the sound of firecrackers at home, he immediately heard someone shouting in the courtyard:
"Who set off the cannon so late at night?"
Mother Han was also awakened by the sound, put on her clothes and got up from the bed.
"Xiao Wu, is something happening outside?"
"Mom, it's cold outside. Don't go out. I'll go take a look." Wang Gang put on his coat and walked outside.
Autumn has entered the capital, and it is still a bit cool at night, but the sound of firecrackers outside was too loud, attracting many people to come out to check it out.
"Who is setting off cannons and preventing people from sleeping?"
"That's right, I almost shrank away from the sound of firecrackers."
"Old Zhang, what are you talking about?"
More and more people came out of the courtyard. Even Su Meng came out with her parents and grandma. She felt a little sad when she saw Wang Gang.
Ever since Wang Gang said that he already has someone he likes, Su Meng has been hiding away from him when she saw him these days, and Wang Gang was also very happy.
"The sound of firecrackers seems to be coming from the public toilet."
Su Meng's father took the lead and ran to the public toilet. He happened to want to use the toilet too.
Everyone gathered outside the public toilet. The sound of firecrackers had stopped long ago, but the smell of gunpowder still emitted from the public toilet.
"Help."
A faint voice reached Su Meng's father's ears.
"Everyone, please be quiet." Su Meng's father said to everyone, "It seems that someone is calling for help."
Everyone fell silent, and the faint calls for help became clearer.
"The sound seemed to come from the men's bathroom." Wang Gang said.
Su Meng's father quickly walked into the men's room and saw Cheng Jianjun in the cesspit.
"Lao Cheng, your Jianjun family has fallen into a pit." Su Meng's father shouted.
Cheng's father originally came to see the show, but he didn't expect that he would become the focus of everyone's attention in an instant.
"How could my family's Jianjun fall into the trap?" Cheng's father said to the person next to him in embarrassment.
"Lao Cheng, come in quickly and take a look." Su Meng's father urged.
Cheng's mother didn't see her son in the crowd, so she said to her husband uneasily: "Jianjun just seemed to say he had to go to the toilet."
Father Cheng's heart skipped a beat and he rushed into the men's toilet, where he saw his son in the latrine.
"Old Cheng, please pull Jianjun out quickly." Su Meng's father couldn't bear to see Cheng Jianjun's miserable state.
More and more people rushed into the men's restroom, and some women even entered the men's restroom just to watch the fun.
At this time, Cheng Jianjun was soaked in feces and really wanted to slap himself twice and call for help.
"It's really Cheng Jianjun!"
"How can such a big person fall into a cesspool when using the toilet?"
"Cheng Jianjun must have offended someone! He even got fired upon when he went to the toilet."
Rumors reached Cheng Jianjun's ears, and he wished he could faint right now.
"Old Cheng, what are you doing standing around here? Why don't you bring Jianjun out yet?" Su Meng's father urged.
Cheng's father's face turned green and red, and he didn't go to help his son for a long time, mainly because it smelled too bad.
The manure pit was exploded with firecrackers, and the smell was so refreshing.
"Everyone, please leave, there's nothing to see." Wang Gang knew that Cheng's father couldn't save face, so he took the initiative to let everyone out.
Su Meng's father also helped Wang Gang evacuate the crowd, and he didn't want to touch Cheng Jianjun now.
After everyone left, within a few minutes, Cheng's father helped Cheng Jianjun, who was full of smell, out of the men's room.
Cheng Jianjun looked so miserable now. The feces all over his body could be smelled from a few meters away. Others held their noses and stayed away from him.
He also walked with a limp, possibly with a twisted foot.
Father Cheng supported his son with a look of despair on his face, but he was also choked by the smell.
When Cheng Jianjun saw Su Meng in the crowd, he immediately lowered his head in shame.
"Uncle Cheng, take Jianjun to get cleaned up quickly. He smells too bad." Wang Gang pinched his nose and said to Cheng's father.
When Cheng Jianjun heard Wang Gang's voice, he suddenly became excited and almost rushed towards Wang Gang with his lame legs.
"It's you, you must have set off firecrackers to scare me!"
As soon as Cheng Jianjun moved, everyone retreated, and Cheng's father also let out a breath.
"I have nothing to do with you falling into the manhole." Wang Gang pinched his nose and said, "I was still in the courtyard when the firecrackers went off. Everyone here can testify."
Cheng Jianjun couldn't outrun Wang Gang because of his inconvenient legs and feet.
"Who else is it if it's not you!?" Cheng Jianjun said angrily.
"Jianjun, Chunmingzhen was in the courtyard just now and came out with us." Su Meng's father said something fair.
Wang Gang sneered and said: "You are a person who likes to tell stories behind your back. You have too many enemies. God knows who set off the firecrackers."
Father Cheng took a breath and quickly grabbed his son.
"It's not embarrassing! Come home with me and wash up."
Cheng Jianjun was very reluctant. He always felt that Wang Gang had something to do with this matter, but there was no evidence.
"Lao Cheng, can you take your son to wash outside? He stinks too much," a neighbor suggested.
Father Cheng said awkwardly: "It's so late and the bathhouse is closed!"
"The bathhouse is open, so we can't let your family go in." Another neighbor gloated.
After all, Su Meng's father was a teacher who taught and educated people. He couldn't stand it, so he suggested:
"Lao Cheng, connect a water pipe and flush Jianjun outside the yard."
Autumn has entered the capital, and the temperature is still quite low at night. If you take a cold shower, you will definitely catch a cold.
But Cheng Jianjun smelled too much, and many neighbors refused to let him wash in the yard.
Cheng's father had no choice but to listen to Su's father's advice. He borrowed a water pipe and connected it to the toilet faucet, and flushed his son from the inside out several times.
Cheng Jianjun shivered in the water.
The next day, Cheng Jianjun was sent to the hospital by Cheng's father. I heard that he started to have a fever at night and was confused and talking nonsense.
Wang Gang didn't worry about Cheng Jianjun's matter and went to work as usual.
As soon as he arrived at the factory, Taozi came over with a proud look on his face and asked, "I heard that Cheng Jianjun from your hospital fell into a manhole last night?"
Wang Gang asked strangely: "Has this matter reached your ears?"
Tao Zi chuckled and said, "This morning, the news spread in the factory. Listen, I heard that it was someone from our factory who did it."
"It can't be you!" Wang Gang said in surprise.
"I do think so." Taozi curled his lips and said, "That Cheng Jianjun was so bad that he almost caused me to be caught by the security department. I wanted to teach him a lesson a long time ago."
Wang Gang breathed a sigh of relief, then frowned and said, "Do you know who did it?"
Tao Zi shook his head and said: "I don't know, but maybe he was a worker who was killed by Cheng Jianjun before! But if you are willing to do this, you must hide it to your death. Who would tell anyone?"
The person who set off the cannon yesterday had offended Cheng Jianjun to death. If Cheng Jianjun knew who did this, he would be willing to stab someone with a knife.
Wang Gang chatted with Tao Zi for a while, said hello to Cai Xiaoli, and then got into work.
When we went to the cafeteria to eat at noon, many people were discussing Cheng Jianjun.
It can be seen that after Cheng Jianjun's report came out, his reputation in the food factory was definitely ruined.
While eating, Tao Zi and Cai Xiaoli came over to sit at the same table as Wang Gang.
"After get off work, do you have anything to do? Let's go roller skating." Taozi suggested.
Cai Xiaoli looked at Wang Gang expectantly.
"You guys go and have fun! I'm going to the black market to buy something."
"Black market." Taozi became interested and said, "We can go to the black market together!"
Cai Xiaoli said worriedly: "It's not good! I heard that the inspections are quite strict recently!"
"No, it's okay. I just ran away when I saw the inspection person." Taozi said nonchalantly.
As the chaos comes to an end, the capital's management becomes looser and looser, and more and more people go to the black market.
The three of them finally agreed to go shopping in the black market together after get off work, without anyone leaving first.
Wang Gang didn't want to take Tao Zi and Cai Xiaoli with him, but if they had to follow them, there was nothing he could do.
After arriving at the black market, Wang Gang bought some pork and planned to go back and let Han Mu cook a meal.
The price of pork on the black market is cheaper than in the store, and the most important thing is that there is no meat stamp. In the end, Cai Xiaoli couldn't help but buy some, thinking about going back to make up for her father.
Wang Gang kept shopping and shopping, and soon came to the place where he met Luo Yuzhu last time.
Luo Yuzhu happens to be out at the stall today.
Wang Gang walked up to Luo Yuzhu with a smile.
"Boss, here are five pieces of candy."
Luo Yuzhu looked up and saw Wang Gang, and couldn't help but smile.
"Brother Han, you're here again!"
Cai Xiaoli and Tao Zi followed over and were startled when they saw the candies sold by Luo Yuzhu.
"Don't you like eating sweets?" Tao Zi said to Wang Gang with a strange look on his face.
When Luo Yuzhu heard this, her hand holding the candy trembled.
"My mother loves to eat sweets. It will be more delicious if I add some sugar to the braised pork." Wang Gang said nonchalantly.
Cai Xiaoli has been observing Luo Yuzhu. She didn't pay attention at first, but after observing for a long time, Cai Xiaoli also noticed that Luo Yuzhu was disguised as a man.
"Chunming, are the candies she sells sweet?" Cai Xiaoli asked slightly jealously.
Luo Yuzhu glanced at Cai Xiaoli, quickly packed the candies and handed them to Wang Gang.
Wang Gang took out 50 cents and handed it to Luo Yuzhu, and then said to Cai Xiaoli: "The boss is really good at making sugar. You can buy some to try."
