When Chen Jingnian came out of the supply and marketing cooperative, he met a young man holding a 56-type goggles in his hand, walking furtively back and forth next to the supply and marketing cooperative.
"Brother, take a look, it's sheepskin!"
When the young man saw Chen Jinnian looking towards him, he walked over with his arms crossed and whispered.
"This is so old!"
Chen Jinnian was quite interested in this thing, so he asked.
"My grandfather was a tank driver, so he gave this to me."
"Who gave me an old one? How much did it cost?"
Chen Jingnian was indeed moved, not for anything else but to bribe Gouzi, the little traitor.
"This number!"
"Huh, goodbye! With this money, I can buy three kilograms of meat, okay?"
Chen Jinnian looked at the other person's two fingers and said disdainfully.
Then without looking at each other, he took out the key and unlocked the car.
"Brother, brother, you have to pay the price!"
"In this case, I will give you a pound of meat, and you can buy some meat to honor your grandpa."
Chen Jingnian crossed his legs and never looked at this person again, as if he was going to leave after talking.
"Brother, this is too little. Please add more. What can you do with these few cents!"
"It's enough to cover a person's expenses for half a year."
"How much money will it take for half a year?"
"Ah, half a year of elementary school tuition. If I buy some salt, I can eat it for a lifetime!"
Chen Jingnian straightened his pocket and said, "Just tell me, I don't care if your grandpa gave it to you or where you got it from. If it doesn't work, I'll leave."
"Okay, a pound of meat is worth a pound of meat. Who asked me to stand here all morning without meeting a single person?"
The young man shook the goggles and hung it on Chen Jingnian's handlebar.
Chen Jingnian took out a few cents and gave them to the young man, got on the car and drove away.
After exiting Dongzhimen, not far to the north is Li Mancang's house.
Chen Jingnian did not go directly, but looked around the front and back of Li Mancang's house.
Sure enough, we found a few boys playing glass balls in an open space sheltered from the wind.
"Dog!"
Chen Jinnian shouted to a boy who was picking up a glass ball from the frame.
"elder brother!"
The boy looked up and immediately became excited. He picked up the glass ball and ran over, shouting: "Why are you here!"
In addition to the sound of the glass colliding with the dog, there was also a clear tinkling sound and a gust of evil wind...
"You pat the soil and come back!"
Chen Jingnian pointed to the goggles on the handlebar and said with a smile: "I'll give you the goggles in case you lose your eyes again!"
"This, this is for me."
The dog jumped up to Chen Jingnian and said in disbelief.
"I just bought it at the corner. You go back and dye the leather with ink, and then write your name on the back strap to make a mark."
As Chen Jinnian spoke, he handed the goggles to Gou Zi and gave Gou Zi a look that could only be understood but not explained.
"hey-hey!"
Gouzi immediately became happy, opened his mouth, and looked like a trumpet Li Mancang.
"Let's go home with my brother. I bought you an elastic band. You ask my aunt to make a strip for you and a wristband."
After Chen Jinnian finished speaking, he turned the front of the car and reached out to pat the dust on the dog's back.
"Brother, why didn't you come earlier? If you had come earlier, I would have taken the board with me when we had the sports meeting..."
The dog's expression was happy at first, and then lonely.
"Okay, why are you so good at getting a bargain? Don't run around with a bag of parts before you put on the wrist guards. What if you fall and stab yourself?"
"Brother, let me show you something good!"
Gouzi obeyed Chen Jinnian's words without any rebellious mentality. He smiled and took out a dart-like piece of iron from his pocket.
"Is this the number plate on the sleeper? Have you pressed the nails again?"
Chen Jingnian recognized the origin of this thing at a glance, and what he said immediately made Gouzi lose his excitement and muttered: "How come you know everything!"
"Maybe it's your brother!"
Chen Jingnian smiled and took the number plate, which was flattened on the rails and then roughly polished.
At that time, the railways were still paved with wooden sleepers, and each sleeper had a number plate.
This number plate is similar to the cap of a beer bottle, except that its teeth are not connected but separate, and there are two symmetrical long teeth.
These two long teeth are three or four centimeters long and can firmly nail the number plate to the sleepers.
"Brother, you don't even need to aim when you hit this thing, the little thorns can stick into the backboard."
The dog was wearing shabby work clothes, all baggy.
"Whoever stabs him will have a row of bloody holes on his body!"
Chen Jingnian put away the things in his hands and said, "This thing is too dangerous, so you should stop playing with it."
"I have a dozen more!"
Gouzi lifted his pants and took out a flying claw with a rope from his lower back.
"You are going to heaven!"
Chen Jingnian looked at the flying claws bent into four claws with No. 8 wire, and his brain began to hurt again.
"Brother, this thing is great for grabbing poplar branches. I even used it to help people fish out their shoes!"
"I feel like I bought too little straps! I should make you some armor!"
Chen Jingnian said helplessly as he looked at the dog who was still going to take out something.
Gouzi heard Chen Jingnian's voiceover and laughed.
He led the way and soon arrived at Li Mancang's house.
"Mom, my brother is here!"
Gouzi has been close to the original owner since he was a child, so he only calls Chen Jingnian brother.
"Axe, come in quickly, my aunt is blocking the wall! Both hands are stupid, look, Gouzi, why are you still blocking the door! Let your brother come in."
The sixth aunt, Jiang Shuhua, is short in stature, not tall, speaks a little hastily, and has an even more impatient temper.
"Auntie, I won't go in. I came here today to deliver some medicine to my grandpa. My daughter and my fifth uncle are still waiting for me at home."
Chen Jingnian looked at the torn newspapers and dirt everywhere inside, took out some Chinese medicine from his pocket and put it on the wooden shelf next to it.
"Hey, I asked you kid, what are you doing!"
Jiang Shuhua quickly rubbed her hands and stepped forward to hold Chen Jingnian.
"Auntie, my sixth uncle has told you. You said it's useless for half of my children to have so much money. Grandpa Jiang is sick now, so I can just ignore it!"
Chen Jingnian felt that the hairs on his wrists were suddenly covered in starch, and he couldn't break free, so he had to whisper: "Auntie, this matter must be kept secret! Don't let Gouzi tell outsiders."
"ax."
A girl who looked like Jiang Shuhua came out of the room and said to Chen Jingnian.
"Ah, Ning Ning! Long time no see!"
Chen Jinnian pretended to be surprised and said that he really didn't like Jiang Yuning's temperament, but he couldn't show it on his face anyway.
"Gouzi is so strict, we didn't even tell Ning Ning about this."
Jiang Shuhua put down Chen Jingnian's hand, patted the dust on his chest, and said: "Axe, you've already come, and you have to finish your meal before leaving!"
"Auntie, I really can't do it today. One day I will bring my daughter to see you and my sixth uncle. I just came here to take a look today, and I didn't even dare to tell this little girl that she came to your place."
Chen Jinnian took out the cream he bought later from his pocket, handed it to Jiang Yuning, and said with a smile: "Brother, I didn't buy anything for you. Just apply this and see!"
He took out the Xiangyun hairpin and the elastic band again, handed them to Jiang Shuhua, and said: "Aunt, this is carved for you. With the elastic band, you can make a belt and wrist guards for the dog. I see he is wearing it."
Those little gadgets running around are a bit dangerous.”
"Axe, you, let my aunt say something!"
Jiang Shuhua was very moved, took the Xiangyun hairpin and sighed.
"Auntie, what do you want to say? You and my sixth uncle are closer to me than a dog. My work is all done by my sixth uncle's connections and favors."
Chen Jinnian waved his hand, turned the car around, and gave the dog a few more instructions.
"Okay, if you bring your daughter here one day, my aunt won't keep you today!"
As Jiang Shuhua spoke, she took the broom she used to sweep newspapers when she was laying the wall, and dusted Chen Jinnian's body.
"Mom, just leave the ax here for a while. Look at how beautiful the hairpin is."
Jiang Yuning stood in front of her mother and said softly, but her eyes looked at Chen Jinnian.
Chen Jingnian's hair stood on end, and his back was instantly covered with a layer of Huangguoshu Waterfall sweat.
He laughed twice, and when he saw Jiang Yuning looking at him intently, he could only bite the bullet and said: "Ningning, your hairpin will have to wait two days to be carved together with my daughter's hairpin."
When Jiang Yuning heard this, her face immediately turned red and her smile rose.
"Axe, tell me about you. Hey, you have been so thoughtful since you were a child."
Jiang Shuhua took her son and her daughter to send Chen Jingnian out.
Chen Jingnian got on the car, waved to the three of them, said goodbye and left.
On the way back, Chen Jinnian was upset. Gouzi's naughty energy made his head hurt. This sudden change in Gouzi's attitude almost made his head explode. This chapter has been completed!
