Chapter 63 Meeting Uncle 3

When Bai Xin learned that Erlang didn't have a high school, he was very happy. He went to check again the next day, and then put the matter aside, thinking that the Bai family had no choice but to return to the village in desperation. The capital took root.

Bai Xin thought that the Bai family had left, so he didn't think about it any more. He gradually forgot about them and focused on making incense and making money. Although he was tired, he felt happy and relaxed, until one day, he I met someone I didn't want to see at the door of my house.

That evening, Bai Xin had just delivered soap dumplings to the bathhouse. When he came back, it was already dark, but people were still coming and going on the street. Some shops raised lanterns, some lit candles, and the whole street was reflected It is also bright and dignified.Now that the days are getting longer, Bai Xin leaves the stall early, closed the stall, and ran to several places today. When he returned home, his stomach was already rumbling and singing the empty city. He walked through the crowd and got off the state bridge. Most of the food was sold on both sides, there were all kinds of water rice, steamed stuffed buns, meat pies, and spicy noodles. There was a gust of warm wind, mixed with the aroma of food, which made Bai Xin swallow his mouth water.

Bai Xin couldn't move anymore, and he wouldn't feel sorry for himself. He went around and stopped in front of a mutton stall. There was a stove in front of the stall, and there were two tables, and a few people were sitting in twos and threes. Putting your head down to eat hard, there is a large pot on the stove, and the mutton soup is simmering in it, bubbling and bubbling, the white gas rises slowly, and the rich five flavors float out.

Seeing Bai Xin approaching, the stall owner wiped the sweat off his brow and greeted warmly, "Brother, what do you want to eat? My family has mutton soup, mutton noodles, mutton intestines, and mutton tripe. The old soup is delicious. Keep it delicious." You want to eat after eating."

It is also impossible for Bai Xin to eat alone. Although he wanted to drink a bowl of mutton soup, it was not easy to take away, so he simply bought lamb intestines and tripe.

The stall owner quickly weighed the intestines and tripe, tied them together with a straw rope, and handed them to him. Bai Xin carried an empty bamboo basket on his back, but it was originally filled with spices, so he didn't want to put the food in it. He went in, so he held it in his hand, quickened his pace, and walked home.

In less than a quarter of an hour, he returned to the alley where the house was located. There were two rows of buildings on the left and right, covering most of the lights on the street. There was a narrow path, and it was dark. Before he reached the door, he saw a person standing at the door. Xin saw a Taiping car parked next to it again, with a few chunky silhouettes on it, and guessed it was a water seller, so he didn't put it on him, and continued walking forward.

"Sister-in-law, it's not cheap for you to rent this house, is it? With so few rooms, you can pay two or three times a month. Where did you get the money?"

The slightly familiar voice made Bai Xin froze all over, because he was defenseless, his head buzzed, and he was a little dazed.

The whole family still doesn't know how much the rent is. When Cao heard this, she yelled, and asked eagerly, "Two or three? How much?" She wanted to ask a few more questions, but happened to catch sight of Bai Xin , screaming and shouting: "Sanlang, are you back? Come on, it turns out that grandma and the others have come to the capital. Look, your third uncle has sold water in the capital... By the way, how much is our rent? Your three Uncle said two or three times a month?"

The third uncle was still skeptical that Mrs. Cao didn't know anything about the rent, but now he heard her called Sanlang again, and turned his head subconsciously. Behind him stood a tall and straight boy with clean clothes and combed hair. He is sharp, his eyes are as bright as stars, and he looks straight into the eyes of others, neither avoiding nor dodging, the third uncle does not know Saburo for a moment.

Bai Xin's face drooped, and he called out gloomyly, "Third Uncle."

The third uncle grinned unnaturally. He knew that Dafang came to the capital, but knowing it was one thing, and seeing it was another. Now he couldn't be more clear about the price of goods in the capital. The expenses are frightening. He doesn't think that Dafang can make a living in the capital. When he occasionally thinks of them, he still wonders if his sister-in-law remarried and brought her son and daughter to which mountain to marry, or sometimes even more maliciously think, He didn't die of starvation on the road, or was kidnapped by someone, but now that he met him in the capital, the shock made him feel like he was hallucinating.

The third uncle originally wanted to ask the big house where the money came from first, but when he glanced at him, he saw that Sanlang was holding sheep intestines and tripe in his hands, and the fishy smell penetrated his nostrils and entered his stomach, which made his appetite knotted , Spit came out of his mouth, he opened his mouth again, the sourness in his stomach rushed out, "Sister-in-law, I see that your family is doing well! But I have to remind you, there is something Some money should be earned, but some money cannot be earned, so don’t patronize enjoyment in the end and lose yourself.”

Cao Shi was a little ignorant, she couldn't hear his insinuations, and she didn't know how to answer the words.

Bai Xin walked past him and sneered, "Third Uncle, don't forget, our eldest room has already been separated, so don't bother you about it. How our family lives is up to us."

The third uncle was so angry at his rude words that his eyes turned black, and he cursed in a low voice, "I don't know what to do, I think the neighborhood here is either a brothel or a tile shop. I kindly remind you, but it is regarded as a donkey's liver and lungs."

Bai Xinruo glanced at him like nothing, and asked slowly: "We live here and don't know which one is a brothel, but Third Uncle knows it very well."

The third uncle choked, stuttered slightly and said, "I, I, I walk around the streets to deliver water, so I naturally know."

"So this is ah."

The third uncle was almost irritated by his domineering attitude, his face was flushed, and he was about to get angry.

Bai Xin didn't bother to quarrel with him, so she turned her head and said, "Mother, I'm hungry." After speaking, he passed the lamb intestines and tripe.

"Oh, I'm buying things indiscriminately again. If you buy raw ones, mother can also do them. Why do you need to sell them? It's worth a lot of money." Cao Shi took it, and subconsciously chattered a few words, but her eyes were full of tears. laugh.

Seeing Cao's reaction, the third uncle was very surprised, looked at the food with red eyes, and swallowed again.

It was impossible for Mrs. Cao to leave third uncle behind, turned her face away, looked at him, and said hesitantly, "Third uncle, it's getting late, why don't you just..."

The third uncle guessed what she said next, and was about to agree, but Bai Xin suddenly cut off the conversation and covered Cao's words with a higher voice, "Yes, third uncle, it's getting late, grandma and the others will I'm waiting for you at home, you might as well go back earlier, when it gets dark, the road will be even harder to walk."

The third uncle's face was hot, his eyes were shining with anger, and he snorted in a rough voice.

Mrs. Cao looked at Bai Xin disapprovingly, with apologetic expression on her face. Fortunately, Bai Xin's behavior in the past few months made her habitually obey her son's words, and she didn't break the stage for a while, but just stood there in embarrassment.

The third uncle looked at Mrs. Cao, expecting her to say a few words to persuade her to stay, but she didn't say a word about the disappointing thing. No matter how thick-skinned the third uncle was, it was impossible for him to say that he wanted to stay for dinner. Furious, he pushed the cart and turned away. Every step he took was heavy, and he felt the burning gaze on his back.

In fact, he was overwhelmed, and Bai Xin pulled his mother into the house after the third uncle pushed the cart two steps away.

"Auntie, come out and cut up all the intestines and tripe." Mrs. Cao greeted, and when Wu Niang heard that there was something delicious, she cheered loudly and circled around Mrs. Cao.

When the aunt came out, she didn't look very happy either. She smiled when she saw Bai Xin, took the intestines and belly of the sheep, and walked back to the kitchen.

Without Bai Xin asking, Mrs. Cao muttered to herself, "Your grandma and her family have all come to the capital."

Bai Xin actually knew about it a long time ago, but he still asked, "Why are you here?"

"It was said that it was to accompany Erlang in the exam, but Erlang failed the exam." Speaking of this, she sighed faintly, as if she felt the same way.

"Since they didn't win, why don't they go back? Are they going to live in the capital for three years?"

"Yeah, your grandma and the others have sold all the land, and it's useless to go back. They simply stay in the capital. Your third uncle brings water from outside the city to sell. This business has no cost. It's not bad that you can make a profit without losing money. I reckoned the carload of water, he can earn two to three hundred yuan a day." When Cao mentioned money, she started talking non-stop, and then suddenly remembered the rent thing she said before, and her voice suddenly rose, Quickly asked: "Sanlang, how much is the rent for our house?"

Bai Xin faltered a few times, but said nothing.

Although Mrs. Cao was a bit stupid, she still knew her son somewhat, and immediately guessed that what Uncle San said was true, she exclaimed in surprise, "It's really a few pennies a month."

"kindness……"

Mrs. Cao clutched her chest and let out a few ouches. Fortunately, she only found out now that at least Bai Xin was able to make money and could afford the rent. If Mrs. Cao had been told about the rent from the beginning, she would He must pass out, and he will not agree to stay alive.

Until the whole family was sitting at the table and eating, Mrs. Cao kept muttering, "The prices in the capital are so high, a few small houses cost a few dollars a month."

When the others heard about it, their faces also turned pale, and they all looked at Bai Xin, sighing that he was bold enough to rent a house in the capital from the very beginning, and they became more and more centered on him in their hearts.

Two dishes were added to the table, and everyone was eating in full swing, but Bai Xin had lost his appetite. Today, when he met Uncle San, it made him sick as if he had eaten a fly. It became greasy, especially now that the other party still knew where they lived. At this moment, Bai Xin even thought about moving.

Unaware of her son's crying, Mrs. Cao enthusiastically squeezed the intestines into Bai Xin's eyes, scolded Wu Niang not to be picky about meat, and at the same time told Bai Xin to eat more.

The author has something to say: Even if you don’t want to meet, you will still meet

At most, he would cause trouble occasionally, but with Bai Xin's temperament and his growing up, he would not let himself suffer.
