Chen Jingnian met Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong and greeted them: "First Master, Second Master, you two came back together today."
"Ah! Axe, let's pick up your fifth uncle."
"Um."
Yi Zhonghai and Liu Haizhong responded one after another.
An eighth-level worker and a seventh-level worker, but their styles are exactly opposite.
Yi Zhonghai had a smile on his face and a kind tone, while Liu Haizhong had a stern look on his face and snorted with his nose without raising his head.
Chen Jinnian smiled and passed the two of them, not paying attention to Liu Haizhong's expression at all.
After being reborn for more than three years, I can understand more about the people in the courtyard than watching TV series.
Some neighbors are actually just strangers whose names and personalities are known.
...
"I still need you to pick it up."
Li Xianwen impatiently pressed a bicycle inner tube into the water, and saw a string of tiny bubbles floating up from the water.
Chen Jingnian stepped forward and picked up a thin wire from the small box next to Li Xianwen and inserted it into the small hole in the tire.
Wipe the inner tube dry, grind the small hole twice with a saw blade, and then pull out the wire.
The tire was deflated, and I used a file to carefully remove the layer of stubble. I also filed a section of the waste tire, and cut a piece as big as a pigeon egg from the waste tire. I evenly applied glue to the area where the tire had been filed, and shook it off.
Twice, and then press the waste tire piece firmly onto the tire stubble.
Finally, he rolled it out with a file handle, inflated it and put it in water to test it. Seeing that there was no air leakage in the bonded area, Chen Jinnian got up and pressed the tire in.
The inner tube of this car has been patched many times, and the patched areas are almost stacked together.
The car turned over and stood on the ground. Without Chen Jingnian and Li Xianwen saying anything, the young man who came to repair the tire put money into the tin box with familiarity.
When this man put the money, Li Xianwen didn't even look at it. He packed his tools with drooped eyelids.
Chen Jinnian pushed Li Xianwen's car over without being surprised. When the crowd after get off work became sparse and cold, he helped Li Xianwen get into the car, rolled up the felt cloth on the ground and put it into the garage, looking around , he locked the door of the garage after not missing anything.
"Your sisters are back?"
Li Xianwen did not hold on to the handle of the hand crank, and let Chen Jinnian push the car from behind.
"I'm back. I think my sister's hairstyle doesn't look good and makes her look older."
Chen Jinnian looked at the white hair sprouting from Li Xianwen's hair from behind, and his voice couldn't help but become louder, with a hint of showing off: "Uncle Wu, my daughter's class teacher is here today and wants her to participate in the math competition.
You don’t know, this little girl’s videos are so crazy now that she didn’t think the prize she won in the last competition was good, so she just teased the teacher in the class. Their head teacher was here just now to do ideological work for parents, but as a result
Stop eating when you see my sister..."
"That clever little devil will never do anything thankless, and he is also very thoughtful."
Li Xianwen liked Nannan very much and was happy when talking about her.
"You're a smart little kid who knows how to eat. He won't grow taller just by eating."
"It's not about growing up. You've only grown up in the past two years. When you were in elementary school, you had a fight with the sixth grader. You could only reach someone's ribs and heart by raising your hand. That's not it.
Beat those senior boys in your school till their livers tremble."
"That's because you taught me well. I can play the pipa with one hand... No, we have to hurry up. The bird is still in the stove."
Chen Jingnian suddenly remembered that he didn't tell his sister about the sparrow, and pushed Li Xianwen to speed up.
"Fifth uncle."
"Godfather."
When they arrived at the entrance of the courtyard, Chen Huiling and Zhao Jianjun were waiting there with their daughter, greeting them together.
"Why."
Li Xianwen responded with a smile, waited for the car to stop, got out of the car, and moved slowly into the courtyard.
Two sisters, Chen Huiling and Chen Huiling, followed Li Xianwen, but Zhao Jianjun ran over and said with a smile: "Brother, I will lock the car."
"As for that!"
Chen Jingnian made room and took out the tool box from under the car.
Zhao Jianjun has been afraid of Li Xianwen since he was a child. He thought it would be better when he got older, but it turned out to be the opposite. Instead, he became more and more afraid of Li Xianwen.
Zhao Jianjun made a grimace, and the two of them walked into the courtyard laughing.
Arriving at the main room, Chen Huiling had just poured out the water from Li Xianwen's hands and face.
Chen Jinnian carried Li Xianwen home and asked him to sit on the only chair with a backrest in the house.
Nannan and Chen Jingnian sit on the right side of Li Xianwen, and Chen Huiling and Zhao Jianjun sit on the left side of Li Xianwen.
There were four dishes and one soup on the table, and a small basin full of fish stewed with vermicelli and soybean curd was placed in the middle.
"Uncle Wu, today you can try the first wine I brought. There is also a bucket of wine for you to bring to the house. You can keep it for brewing medicinal materials."
Zhao Jianjun reached for the wine bottle soaked in hot water and poured a cup of wine for Li Xianwen.
"Brother-in-law, let me do it."
Chen Jinnian said as he took the wine bottle from Zhao Jianjun.
"I heard your dad say he got some good stuff a while ago. I won't tell you if I ask again. It turns out to be Jiutou. Why is it so mysterious?"
Li Xianwen watched Chen Jinnian pour wine for everyone, and said to the only girl who couldn't drink: "Eat, your sister and your brother-in-law are coming back today, we are all very happy."
"Dad, please take a few sips of soup to warm your stomach before you drink..."
Chen Huiling picked up her own bowl and gave Li Xianwen a bowl of fish and tofu. Then she put a sparrow in Li Xianwen's bowl and said, "The sparrow replenishes qi and blood. I'll give you one."
Chen Jinnian moved his bowl to his sister, got up and went to the kitchen to get another bowl.
"well."
Li Xianwen squinted his eyes and took two sips of the fish soup. He picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp. He lowered his head and took another two sips of the soup and said, "This fish is cooked well, not bad."
Chen Jingnian, his sister, and his brother-in-law looked at each other, and they drank the wine in silence.
Chen Jingnian refilled the dishes for everyone, and a few of them took two bites of the food.
Zhao Jianjun stood up with a wine cup in both hands, and Chen Huiling also stood up, "Uncle Wu, Lingling and I propose a toast to you."
"Sit down and drink."
Li Xianwen clinked glasses with the two of them and drank another full glass of wine.
"This fish is so delicious!"
Zhao Jianjun pretended to take a bite of fish and smacked his lips at Nannan.
Nannan's attention was all on the fish, and she was too lazy to respond to Zhao Jianjun's provocation. Instead, she raised her head and smiled at Chen Jinnian: "Brother, this fish is so delicious."
"It's quite delicious, and the cabbage is also bright."
Chen Huiling ate cabbage first, and then a piece of tofu.
"Don't hold it back, He Yuzhu cooked the fish, and Uncle Six brought it back from the factory canteen. I just put two slices of tofu in. Uncle Wu picked up the chicken, and the rest are cold dishes. One
It’s about the salt.”
Chen Jingnian said as he picked up a chopstick of cabbage. It was salty and palatable, with a refreshing taste. Although there was no sugar, it still had a slight sweetness.
He swallowed the cabbage, raised the wine cup and said with a smile: "Uncle Wu, I'd like to propose a toast to you."
"Come on, why don't you wait for a while first."
Li Xianwen laughed and cursed, causing the brothers and sisters to laugh.
Chen Jingnian has a good drinking capacity, but he can't drink in a hurry.
After taking two bites of the food, he toasted his sister and brother-in-law with another drink.
After three glasses of white wine, Zhao Jianjun's face turned red, and he moved to Chen Huiling's side with a silly smile. His flirtatious look made Li Xianwen make a few sarcastic comments.
Nannan squinted her eyes and continued to work hard.
Chen Jingnian said a few nice words to his brother-in-law, but Li Xianwen made trouble and fined him a glass of wine.
The highly pure grain wine leaves a line of fire in the throat, esophagus and stomach, with a spicy and mellow aroma and a sweet aftertaste.
Chewing the slightly salty peanuts, crispy, fragrant and full of flavor, really leaves a mouthful of fragrance and endless aftertaste.
During the dinner, Li Xianwen asked Zhao Jianjun a few questions about work, and Chen Huiling asked Chen Jingnian about her daughter's reaction in the past few days.
As the person involved, Nannan was not stupid at all. She knew that her brother and sister were talking about her, so she once again showed off the teacher's praise for her.
Li Xianwen was the most supportive and specially offered a drink for this small matter.
Nannan followed everyone's lead and clinked the spoons together. After drinking the soup, she pretended to smack her lips, which made everyone laugh again.
The dim lights reflected the family sitting around, making it lively and warm.
Under the influence of the atmosphere, Li Xianwen couldn't help but drink two more drinks, and gradually became a little tired.
Chen Jinnian carried him back to the main room.
"I'm so happy today, don't talk about it! This drink is really strong. I'll take a rest first. Your sister won't have to come over to say hello to me when she and your wife go back."
"Uncle Wu, I'll pour you a glass of water and put it on the side. If you're thirsty, take a sip."
"Well, put it inward. This Li Guizi doesn't make the edge of the kang wider when he builds the kang."
Li Xianwen was used to playing cymbals with Li Mancang. After saying this, he moved his pillow and said, "Go and talk to your sister more."
Chen Jingnian put down the water glass, exited and closed the door.
…
"Fifth uncle, have you fallen asleep?"
Chen Huiling picked the fish bones for her daughter. She ate too slowly. If she had let her pick them by herself, the fish would have been cold.
"After you go to bed, there's no need to go there when I ask you and your brother-in-law to leave."
Chen Jingnian wiped his hands and picked up the wine glass, "Brother-in-law, I offer you a toast. Let's drink slowly."
"See what you can do."
Zhao Jianjun's face was getting redder and redder, his eyes were wandering, and he smiled before he drank from the wine glass.
He really can't drink. Whenever we eat together, he is always the first to lie down.
"It's silly."
Chen Huiling smiled and glanced at her husband. Not to mention Chen Jingnian, even with her drinking capacity, it would be easy for her to overwhelm Zhao Jianjun.
"Haha, I'm not stupid."
After Zhao Jianjun finished speaking, he moved closer to Chen Huiling, feeling silly again.
"Brother-in-law, I heard from Uncle Wu that a few idiots saw Tian'er wandering around here."
Chen Jinnian did not urge Zhao Jianjun, but found a topic.
"Recently, the outside world has become more and more chaotic. There are some blind bastards popping up. They want to move gates but don't have the skills. They want to show off but don't have the skills. They want to be stubborn. But I can't do anything. They just become hooligans.
Well, I get dizzy when I see blood."
Zhao Jianjun picked up the tofu in the bowl, but ended up with the tofu in his mouth. He said in an erratic tone: "Hey, someone will teach them how to behave in two days. If you dare to hang around in front of our fifth uncle's eyes, you will be screwed alive."
Damn it!
Who are our fifth uncles? Anyone with a bit of discernment on the road will respect him as a land god, and those with bad karma will also call him an earth dragon."
"Jianjun, it's getting late. You drink the wine. We have to go back."
Chen Huiling saw that her husband was getting more and more nonsense, so after mentioning it, she took her daughter to the kitchen.
"Brother-in-law, why didn't I know that Uncle Wu had a nickname on the street?"
This was the first time Chen Jingnian heard about these things. He only knew that the reason why the people in the Hutong were so quiet was because, as Xu Damao said, Li Xianwen was here to control the situation.
As for why the stubborn masters, Buddhas, and gangsters all over the forty-nine cities stayed far away from here, he was not sure.
Just like the young man who came to repair the car before, he was the Buddha who moved the gate.
These thieves will use part of the stolen money to cover their stubborn masters in order to gain protection.
In the early years, the stubborn people on the streets nearby were afraid and respectful of Li Xianwen, and they tried their best to talk to them, but Li Xianwen ignored them at all.
Later, these stubborn people sent people to put money into the car repair money box at regular intervals. Every time, Li Xianwen asked the person who sent the money to take the money away.
Later, these people came up with a new method---find a bicycle to puncture the tire, and then sent a stranger to Li Xianwen to repair it.
After the repairs were completed, he put money into the money box. Li Xianwen found that he had given too much money, so he asked someone to take away the excess money, leaving only the cost of the work.
The two sides have been in a stalemate for several years, and the other side has slowly figured out what Li Xianwen means.
That means they are not allowed to enter this alley.
Therefore, this group of people really stayed far away from this alley, but they still sent people to repair the car from time to time. After the repair was completed, they didn't put more money into the car, but just put the right amount of money into it.
Li Xianwen repaired it when it was necessary, and everyone lived in peace and harmony for so many years. This chapter has been completed!
