Chapter 6 Educated Youth of the 7s 6
Yuan Xi was still laughing and watching the old man play chess.
Wuba was very dedicated today and didn't take any chances.
[Host, don’t you feel the malice? And that look in his eyes was simply baffling. 】
Yuan Xi didn't care and replied in her heart: "I feel it. It's so obvious that she gave me goosebumps."
[It looks like she is going to report you. 】
"It doesn't matter. I'm not going to work now anyway. At most, I'm not actively signing up. The street office will come to my door to urge me."
"I originally thought about taking care of her after I go to the countryside, or I could collect some interest first."
After thinking about it, Yuan Xi found something in his memory that he could use.
The good mood early in the morning was ruined. Yuan Xi didn't want to play chess anymore. The level of the old men around him was just that. He had only learned for a few days and could beat them.
"Hey, Yuan Xi, don't you want to read? Why are you leaving so early today?"
An old man waving a cattail leaf fan asked as Yuan Xi was about to leave.
"Grandpa Wang, I have a mission. I have to buy something to go home. I'll come back when I'm free."
Just as Yuan Xi was about to turn around and leave, he was pulled back by Uncle Wang.
"You kid, you are dishonest."
"Grandpa Wang, what's wrong with me? I'm not honest?"
"You still want to hide it from me. The old man has lived for so many years and has crossed more bridges than you have walked. You, don't go to that place. Be careful of getting caught. It's not good to walk too much at night."
Uncle Wang gave Yuan Xi a profound warning.
Yuan Xi understood immediately that Uncle Wang thought he was going to the black market, and he immediately couldn't laugh or cry and said, "Grandpa Wang, I didn't go to that place."
"You kid still won't admit it. The smell of meat from your house has spread throughout the alley recently. How could you have gotten so much meat if you hadn't gone to that place?"
"It's not the same thing, but the old man smelled the smell of chicken, duck, fish and rabbit. Last time I even ate beef. I'm not shy about saying, calm down and be careful not to be reported."
Uncle Zhang, who was playing chess, stopped and said, "Old Wang, you are just lying on the wall eating at Wen Yuanxi's house. You are really old and ignorant."
"Hey, Lao Zhang, what do you mean? Why are you speaking so unpleasantly? It's right next door and I have a good nose. What can I do?"
Seeing that Uncle Wang was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, Yuan Xi quickly stopped him.
The two old men pretended to blow their beards and stared for a while before stopping.
"Yuan Xi, Lao Wang is right about what he said. You kid has been quiet recently. He was really caught. There is no place to cry."
"Yes, Yuan Xi, we are also doing this for your own good."
"If you don't listen to the old man's words, you will suffer the consequences."
……
Several uncles started to persuade me.
There are two chess tables at the entrance of the alley. In addition to the four old men playing chess, there are also three or four old men standing around waiting for the next game.
It can be said that these people have watched Chen Yuanxi grow up. At this time, they were trying to persuade him earnestly and with good intentions, as they were worried that he would be in trouble accidentally.
Yuan Xi felt like he was suddenly surrounded.
My head is buzzing.
After waiting for a while, the uncles calmed down, and Yuan Xi repeatedly promised that he would never go to the black market.
Several uncles were doubtful.
"If I really went to the black market, my parents and brother wouldn't be willing to do it. They would have beaten me long ago."
These words are well-founded and convincing.
Indeed, if this is true, the old Chen family should beat their children.
Yuan Xi can still walk around outside happily.
Although the uncles still have doubts in their hearts, they know that Yuan Xi does not just go to the black market. The other matters are the Chen family's family affairs, which they cannot inquire about.
Speaking of which, who has never been to the black market? Some things are indeed not available on the market. Although the black market is a bit more expensive, it is better to have goods.
A few uncles also went there secretly, but they were not as arrogant as the old Chen family.
This is thanks to the inspiration given to Yuan Xi by the second brother when he bought meat last time.
He often goes out for a walk and comes back before they get off work. Then he goes into the space to pick out what he wants to eat for dinner. He comes up with the same excuse as his second brother, once, twice or three times. The more times he goes, the more his family members believe it. .
I believe that Yuan Xi really caught up with the villagers who came to the city to sell goods. In addition, the closer the day of going to the countryside is, the more guilty the Chen family will be, and they just want to make up for him. Otherwise, the old Chen family would not be so arrogant, ignoring the opinions of the neighbors and eating meat.
The whole family has gained a few pounds in the past two days.
Chen's father and Chen's mother didn't want to admit that he was going to the countryside, and they didn't explain it to the outside world during this period. Yuan Xi simply took the initiative to explain: "I'm not going to the countryside, my parents just want to make up for it. I didn’t contact my relatives in the countryside, so they came over to see me with a bunch of things.”
The uncles understood.
No wonder, it turned out that the old Chen family took such a path.
Their minds were slightly agitated, wondering if they could join in and buy some, but they didn't choose.
"Yuan Xi, do you want to go to the countryside?"
When Uncle Wang asked, everyone came back to their senses.
"Yes, to support the country in building rural areas."
The words came out of his mouth, but others couldn't say anything, and the atmosphere was a bit heavy for a while.
After all that needed to be said, Yuan Xi said goodbye and left. It was another day of walking around the city.
We had lunch at a state-owned restaurant. The chef was pretty good at it. I heard that my ancestor was an imperial chef. Yuan Xi has money and tickets, so he often packs two more copies and puts them in the space (keeping them fresh is a basic operation).
This created a problem. He didn't have that many lunch boxes. He was just going to buy them, but when he signed in the next day, he got a hundred lunch boxes, which was very characteristic of this era.
Of the one hundred, he has only used twenty or so now and put them all into the space to eat when he goes to the countryside.
When he went back, he found a deserted corner and carried an empty basket home to hide his identity from others.
When we passed by the entrance of the alley, no one was there, and several uncles had gone home to rest. It was too hot here, and if we stayed outside for a long time, we would definitely suffer from heat stroke.
At dinner time, it was time for Lao Chen's performance again.
Uncle Wang stood in his yard, closed his eyes and took a few deep breaths, "Today is chicken stewed with mushrooms."
After taking a few more puffs, he said, "There are also spicy fried pork slices, pork, no, sizzling, I can't remember it at the moment."
He took a few big gulps, smacked his lips, and suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes intoxicated.
"This is venison, dear. The old Chen family is quite wild."
Behind Uncle Wang, Uncle Wang looked at his old father's actions and covered his face in deep shame.
What can I do? Just pretend that I can't see him. Who told him that this was his father?
Fortunately, it was in the yard and there was no shame in throwing it outside.
That is to say, Uncle Wang didn't know that his father had already exposed himself in front of the real owner this morning, and he had already lost face.
At this time, Uncle Wang's eldest grandson also took a deep breath, "Grandpa, how did you smell it?"
Seeing that his son was also getting involved, Uncle Wang couldn't stand it anymore.
He stepped forward and grabbed his son's ears, pulling him back into the house.
If he can't deal with his father, he can't deal with this brat either.
The sound of spanking a child could be heard in the house.
