"She has difficulties? What difficulties can she have? Isn't her difficulty caused by her own death? If she doesn't want such a good store and house, why do she have to succeed! And she educates me in turn, using my father to oppress me? My father does the same
You're such a fool, you won't let your family members get close to you, what are you whispering to outsiders?"
Tang Qing's father scolded him with his face facing the gate of the old yard, but his eyes secretly glanced at his toes.
It seemed as if Caitou Toutou didn't hear Tang Qing's father's scolding, and was busy calling the craftsmen to renovate the old yard.
Tang Qing's father knew that Tang Qing was no longer in the old yard. He scolded her the most fiercely, but she couldn't hear him. He just wanted to scold Caitoutou.
Before Tang shaved his head, he called Cai Tou Tou in advance, and the two of them lay on the door board and chewed their ears for a long time. Tang Qing's father still can't let it go. Later, he asked Cai Tou Tou in private countless times, what his father actually said.
What did he say? Caitou Toutou always smiled and refused to answer, which made him even more worried.
I came to the old courtyard of the Li family on Lushan Road early this morning and saw Tang Qing and Li Ya singing the Shaoxing Opera "A Dream of Red Mansions: A Good Marriage". I was very happy at first. After all, Li Ya helped him get back the money he had defrauded from Big Belly Money.
, Tang Qing should spend more time with Li Ya, Li Ya was happy, and so was he. But when he saw Caitou Toutou pretending to applaud next to him, acting like an elder, he felt angry.
Humph, who do you think you are? A mason or a stinky corpse-carver, no matter how stinky you want, how can you pretend to be a big clove of garlic in front of two children?
If you hadn't helped Li Ya renovate the old yard now, I would have fallen out with you immediately!
Tang Qing's father kicked over a bamboo basket and slammed a large bag of ingredients in his hand onto the chopping board.
Tang Qing's father-in-law is an honest man, so it is naturally impossible for him to know that Tang Qing's father is criticizing Sang and Huai. He took a stool and asked Tang Qing's father to sit down, and he also sat next to him and continued to persuade:
"Grandpa Xiaoqiang, you have to put yourself in Qing'er's shoes. What do you think would happen if Qing'er took over the storefront and put up that sign of a grassroots governance mediation point?"
"What's going on? What does it matter if there is one more sign?"
Tang Qing's father responded to Tang Qing's father-in-law angrily.
"Grandpa Xiaoqiang, the People's Barber Shop is the People's Barber Shop. If it were you, would you agree to put up another brand that has no boundaries?"
"How come you don't show any boundaries? Doesn't she usually think of herself as the master of Jiujin, pretending to be a good friend and peacemaker in front of the neighbors?"
"This is different."
"What's the difference?"
"Qing'er usually enthusiastically helps neighbors solve their problems, which is called being helpful. No matter whether the help is successful or not, everyone will say good-bye. But if you put up the sign of the grassroots governance mediation point, it becomes an open matter.
If Qing'er fails to help, not only will her superiors criticize her, but her neighbors will also blame her."
"this……"
"Xiao Qiang, his grandfather, and Qing'er don't want to accept the storefront house. There must be another important reason."
"What important reason?"
"Last night when I was watching the storefront scene, didn't Qing'er ask everyone?"
"What did she ask everyone?"
"Ask everyone if they are envious of her for being able to own such a nice storefront without paying any rent."
"You mean, she's worried about others being jealous?"
"That's right, isn't there an old saying? You're not afraid of anything, you're just afraid that others will be jealous of you!"
"I've never heard of it. I've only heard that if you're not afraid of thieves stealing, you're afraid of being missed by thieves."
"Isn't that the same thing?"
"It means the same thing? Have you ever read the book? Does it mean the same thing?"
"Grandpa Xiaoqiang, I haven't read a book. Don't get serious with me. I just hope you can understand Qing'er."
"I understand her? Then who will understand me?"
"Me, and Xiaoqiang's grandmother."
"Grandpa Xiaoqiang, what do you want me to do?"
Tang Qing's mother returned to the old yard out of breath, and happened to hear Tang Qing's father-in-law talking about her.
"Xiaoqiang's grandmother, Qing'er, have you caught up with her? Where has she gone?"
"Xiaoqiang's grandfather, when I chased him to the intersection of Lushan Road, there was no trace of Qing'er. I ran out of Lushan Road, but she was still missing. Alas, I wonder where she will go?"
Tang Qing's mother looked at her wife.
"It doesn't matter where she goes, she won't die anyway!"
Tang Qing's father turned around and ignored his wife.
"Hey, why are you so angry for no reason? Why did Qing'er provoke you? You said such things!"
Tang Qing's mother walked up to Tang Qing's father.
"Go and wash the vegetables quickly, don't hang around in front of me!"
Tang Qing's father raised his hand to Tang Qing's mother and turned around.
"You can't wash the dishes? You put on an official air all day long, do you really think you are an official?"
Tang Qing's mother had a fight with her wife today.
"Xiaoqiang and his grandma, let's go wash the vegetables. It won't be a good idea to delay the craftsmen from eating lunch."
Eunuch Tang Qing went over to sort out the ingredients.
"Humph, if some people didn't think they were showing off their official airs and defrauded so much money from the rich, why would we have to get up early and go to this old yard in the dark to work like this?"
Tang Qing's mother scolded her while washing vegetables.
"You are smart and powerful. Why didn't you stop me then? Aren't you just following Big Money and saying New Year greetings to him? What kind of benefactor is that?"
Tang Qing's father came over to help, but he still refused to give in.
"If he can really help Qing'er get a store and house, he will certainly be our benefactor. Unfortunately, some people didn't ask clearly and hurriedly gave him money and what else to drink to celebrate, which ended up bringing us here.
Come here to work blindly. Alas, if Qing'er and her grandfather see this, I wonder what he will think?"
"Don't open and pick up any pot you don't want. My dad won't just enter this old yard."
"Oh, do you know that your father won't just enter this old yard? It seems that he is not too old to be blind."
"Am I blind? Are you looking at things in the fog?"
"Looking at the flowers in the mist? Do you wish that my old eyesight would be dim? How about going to the square to look at the flowers in the mist?"
"Why should I go to the square to see flowers in the fog?"
"Hey, don't think I don't know. You run to the square all day long, aren't you just going to see the flowers in the fog?"
"What are you talking nonsense about?"
"Am I talking nonsense? Xiaoqiang's grandfather, did he go to the square to watch those fancy old women dancing in the square?"
"This, that, Xiaoqiang and his grandmother, I'm going to drink some water. I didn't hear what you said."
Eunuch Tang Qing hurriedly picked up the bucket and went to the faucet. He did not want to get involved in the fight between the two old children.
"Manager Tang, Mrs. Tang, are you busy?"
"Hey, Director Liu, why are you here?"
"Director Liu, please sit down quickly."
When Tang Qing's parents saw Director Liu of the neighborhood committee coming to the old yard, they quickly put down their work and moved stools to make tea.
"Two old people, don't be busy. I'm here to talk to Master Jiujin about something. Isn't she here?"
"Director Liu, you don't want to pay attention to this stubborn donkey. She is completely shameless and cannot hold a winter melon like a tree!"
(Winter melon that cannot be lifted up a tree is a slang term in Yancheng, which means that it cannot be lifted up. It is a metaphor for a person who is ineffective.)
"Have you ever said that about your daughter? Director Liu, my young child should be looking for a storefront apartment. Alas, you said this is exactly what you said. If you say it will be restructured, it will be restructured. If you say it will be demolished, it will be demolished. Even if it is postponed
I don’t even have time to express my anger. I’m sorry for my young son. He’s so anxious that he can’t sleep or eat. He seems to have something wrong with his nerves.”
Tang Qing's mother slapped Tang Qing's father away and complained to Director Liu.
"Ah? Master Jiujin has a mental problem? That's a big deal. It seems that I have to have a good talk with her and settle the matter of the store and apartment as soon as possible."
Director Liu stood up from the stool.
"Director Liu, are you here about my Qing'er store?"
"yes."
"Then sit down quickly, sit down quickly. Old man, go find Qing'er!"
