From the Bird - Chapter 754
Hong Liangzhang is thirty nine this year. A talented talent from Jiaqing Ding Maoke, who usually gives lectures to children from big families in the village, looks like a master.
He used morning tea, flicked his shoes, and walked out the door holding a dry pipe. He raised his eyes and saw a big man with thick eyebrows in a coarse sweater entering the yard, and immediately slammed his face.
“Brother.”
Hong Liangyu walked up to his brother and greeted respectfully.
“Where did you go last night?”
“I had a drink with a few old friends, chatting up, it was late again, and I had a rest at a friend’s house for one night.”
“Is it your old friend while sailing?”
Hong Liangyu froze for a long time, unable to say a complete sentence.
Hong Liangzhang sighed, drained a few large sums of money from his sleeves and handed them to Hong Liangyu’s hands: “Go and buy some honey locusts.”
Hong Liangyu didn’t expect that his elder brother would not get angry. He grabbed a few large sums of money and asked, “What do you do with the acacia locust?”
“I bought acacia and washed my neck and face. When the Dongchuang incident happened, the government would catch you and me, your sister-in-law, and Xiao Yier, and drag them to the field to behead their heads, and stretch their necks to ask the criminal officer to take a look. Look, it’s a white head, so it won’t make people laugh.”
Hong Liangyu’s face flushed from being suffocated, and he couldn’t say a word.
Hong Liangzhang didn’t look at him anymore, put the cigarette stick upside down behind the door, turned around and entered the room, and closed the door with a slap. Hanging Hong Liangyu in the courtyard.
The loud noise alarmed Liu in the kitchen. She looked up along the edge of the stove and looked up, then lowered her head to ignore the bacon in the pan.
Until midday, lunch was spent at home, and Hong Liangyu was still standing in the courtyard.
“Liangyu.”
Mr. Liu brought out a bowl of glutinous rice, covered with a large piece of bacon, and handed it to Hong Liangyu.
“Your brother has this temper. It will be fine if he loses his temper. You have to go to work in the afternoon. What if you can’t eat enough? Don’t look in the house. If there is me, you can eat with confidence.”
Liu is in his early thirties, and he is not ugly or handsome. He is an ordinary woman who has a temperament, but he has a good reputation in the neighborhood and is warmhearted.
“Thank you sister-in-law.”
Hong Liangyu took the sea bowl and was a little at a loss for a while.
Only then did Liu turn around and enter the room, closing the door. After about a bag of cigarettes, a brief quarrel came out of the inner room.
“You have to really protect Yu’er, give him some money, and tell him to stand on his own! If the money is not enough, sell him my jewelry box. This is also for the sake of your brother. He is in his thirties, all day long. If you teach him, he won’t complain in his heart? Let’s not be a wicked person in vain.”
“On your own? The red bandit is being caught everywhere now, and his face is full again, where do you tell him to go? Liangyu and my compatriot, I always have to take care of him.”
“Yeah, you take care of him? Didn’t you hear people say? Go to Nanyang, protect Guangzhou, kill three or four red-haired ghosts! How capable is this? If you don’t think about your brother, everyone will follow Tianbaozi, to Going to Borneo! Do you still worry about your sour talent?”
“You keep your voice down.”
“I can save it.”
Hong Liangyu was carrying the blood of a ghost high in his body, and within ten feet he could hear the sound of earthworms digging the mud. Naturally, the quarrel between the two brothers and sisters could not be hidden from him.
He looked down at the sea bowl he was holding. Liu was careless and forgot to give him his chopsticks, but he went to call the door now. It was really out of place. Hong Liangyu didn’t care. He squatted in the courtyard and grabbed a handful of rice and stuffed it in. In his mouth, he gobbled up and ate.
The sea bowl could not be held by the palm of his hand. Hong Liangyu ate only seven or eight mouthfuls of rice and meat. He wiped his mouth and waited for a long time. After hearing the house quietly, he rushed into the house and said: “Brother Sister-in-law, I’m going to work. I won’t come back to eat at night.”
Liu replied through the door: “Is it hungry if you don’t go home to eat? I asked Tantou’er, you left work when you were in the sea, I will keep the soup pot waiting for you, don’t make your brother angry again.”
“There is indeed something wrong. A while ago, a worker in the kiln died of coal poisoning a while ago. Only his sister was left in his family. He collected some money from work and asked me to send it.”
After hearing this, Hong Liangzhang could only agree: “Well, then, the proprietor said that it hasn’t been peaceful recently. There are gangsters everywhere, so be careful on the way.”
Hong Liangyu turned around to leave the hospital, only listening to someone shouting outside the fence.
“Mr. Hong, Mr. Hong.”
The visitor wore a gray cloth gown, his messy hair braids were hidden by a melon hat, he wore black-rimmed glasses, and his two greasy beards fluttered up and down with the corners of his mouth. They looked a bit humble and cunning. Two bunkers followed, carrying rice bags and pork.
The man also noticed Hong Liangyu.
The shoulder width is two feet wide, the tiger arms and the waist, thick eyebrows and eyes, looks vaguely like Hong Liangzhang.
He drew up his eyes, raised his glasses, and squeezed three horizontal stripes on his forehead. He looked at him up and down for a long time without speaking.
Hong Liangzhang hurriedly dragged his straw sandals to push the door, and the people rushed over and said, “Guanshi Song is coming here, and some will be missed, and some will be missed.”
“We are old acquaintances, why are you so polite.”
Guan Shi also bowed his hand in return: “The Mid-Autumn Festival is about to be seen. The proprietor ordered me to send Xibinga for repairs. According to previous rules, it was ten bucks, two pheasants, fifty catties of rice, and a fan of fat pigs. Go to the warehouse and check it, and there is a big pig’s head left. Simply send it to Mr. Hong. The money is with me, you can order a little.”
“Guan Song has a heart, he has a heart.”
While speaking, Guanshi Song greeted the husband to bring in the meat and rice.
This fan of pork is very heavy, and it’s about 150 catties. The two bunting folks are yellow and skinny, and they are shaking with their hands. Hong Liangyu didn’t say a word, and took the whole fan of pork and carried it on his back with both hands. Two bags of rice were steadily sent into the kitchen, and Liu was greeted again and went out.
“That one is…”
Hong Liangzhang waved his hand seemingly inadvertently: “That’s my cousin far away, who suffered from the plague at home and fled to me. I begged the proprietor a while ago to work in a charcoal kiln in the mountains. He was stupid and not worth mentioning.”
“I have an impression, I have an impression.”
Guan Shi Song nodded straight: “Huh? The proprietor is about to organize Tuan Yong to cooperate with the government to suppress the incense army’s thugs. I think your cousin is not bad! Tuan Yong’s treatment is good, not much better than being a charcoal worker? ”
“No way, no way.”
Hong Liangzhang’s heart burst, and his head shook like a rattle: “He faints when he sees blood, so he can be regarded as Tuan Yong. My aunt’s house is a single seedling, eh, why is there another incense army?”
“Hey! Since the gangster Tianbaozi was annihilated by the government, I have never heard of the chaos in this place. What is ten harmony, the Xiaodaohui, the Five Dragon Sect, the chaos is very chaotic. Let’s say this Xiangjun, they rebelled in Wuzhou By coincidence, Governor Yang’s envoy was killed, and he also snatched a secret letter to the academician Zhao Yun, or Master Yang was anxious to get angry and want to wipe them out.”
Hong Liangzhang listened absently, composing a few sentences from time to time, finally covering up his brother’s affairs.
