Chapter 41

"The city is not like the village. There is a mix of good and bad people from all walks of life. There were all kinds of people. The hooligans are much more powerful than those small gangsters in the village. The main reason is that there are not many people in the village who can get along them. They look up to their neighbors, but look down to their relatives. The ancestors were born here for generations, so someone oppressed them. "

"These people don't recognize their relatives when they arrive in the city, and they were all the oppressors."

The two bought things and went back to the village, Zhang Fangyuan looked at Xu He who was still a little absent-minded, trying to comfort him while talking.

"They seem to be very afraid of you." Xu He suddenly asked stupidly and seriously: "Have you been like this before?"

"I used to provoke troubles, but I never bullied ordinary people. I always took people to ask for bills or guard buildings to prevent others from provoking trouble." As a butcher, his strikes were more severe than ordinary people: "Those little hooligans will give me some face if they know me."

Xu He thought to himself it was not that they were giving you face, it was clearly they were afraid of you. Looking at the big green bags protruding from the foreheads of those two people today, he didn't know how many times they had been hit. Although it was not the first time that he knew that Zhang Fangyuan would beat people. The last time he caught a thief, he obviously was a bit merciful, he only broke a bit of skin. Now he had seen the truth when he dealt with the two hooligans.

"Don't be afraid, I just beat those two boys today when I was in a hurry." When he went out in the morning, his fulang showed him a good mushrooms, but the two people threw it on the ground. Could he not get angry: "I will never beat my own people.”

He stretched out his arms to wrap around Xu He's shoulders, and patted his hairy head.

"I know."

Xu He was slightly frightened today, the carriage was swaying, he let out a breath, Zhang Fangyuan hugged him, and he leaned against him.

Zhang Fangyuan was very happy in his heart, but he felt sorry for his fulang and wanted to go back and beat those two boys again.

"So don't think about it anymore, we are going to Chen's house to help with things tonight, you should have a good rest first."

Xu He opened his eyes: "I don't think about it, it's just that the two of them didn't pay any money. They were reprimanded by you and left."

"..."

"Don't worry, they will return the money by themselves in the future, how can there be such a cheap thing for them. That little ge’er won’t dare to say anything more about you after this, his husband will definitely take care of him."

Xu He didn't have anything to do this morning, he said: "Then you can take the money back." Think of it as hard working money.

"Okay."

He would go to ask money tomorrow.

When the two returned to the village, many helpers had already arrived at the Chen family, and the bustle could be heard to the Zhang family.

After Zhang Fangyuan unloaded his own things in his yard, he directly pulled the things bought by the Chen family, and immediately several men from the Chen family rushed to move the things down.

Xu He also followed to help, seeing that he had something to do, but he didn't know what to do, when he was thinking of helping to build the stove, Chen Si came out and said, " He ge’er, can you chop the vegetables? It was cut by Aunt Hu, but just now someone from her family said that the child has a fever, so she hurried back."

"Okay."

"Okay, I will trouble you then."

Zhang Fangyuan moved things into the house and came out, looking at Xu He who was tying up his apron, he stepped over to help someone to tie a knot on his back waist, and then rolled up his sleeves: "I'm going to the village with Chen Si to borrow a table later."

"Yes."

A group of women cutting vegetables and peeling garlic on the table next to them grumbled and motioned for everyone to watch.

"Look at the young couple."

"I didn't expect Zhang Fangyuan to be nice to the people in the house."

"Isn’t that right? After all, he was a fulang who he worked hard to find."

Xu He was standing in the front of a rectangular table with a door panel. He sat down, moved the cutting board and start to cut the vegetables and meat. A large pot of meat, cut the fatty meat into pieces for twice-cooked pork, cut the lean meat into shredded for stir-frying, cut the chicken into pieces for stewing soup. When everyone saw that Zhang Fangyuan had left, they stopped talking about him. People in the village didn't talk about people's merits in front of their faces.

So they talked and laughed about other things in the village, someone's child was going to be full moon, someone's old man was about to die, etc. Xu He didn't like to participate and talk about these things, but he would also listen to the fun from the sidelines, feeling that when others were getting married and you came to help and have a drink was more interesting than when you yourself were getting married.

"I heard from Mrs. Chen that this time she hired a cook from the village next door, and the dishes she makes are delicious."

"I think the cook that Zhang Fangyuan hired last time is not bad."

“Have you gone to eat it?"

"I ate it."

The voices of the women and fulangs became softer: "

"There were a lot of tables, but the dishes were very small. There were twelve dishes on a table, but if they were combined probably would still less than eight dishes, and it was forced to make twelve. When I went to help, I cleaned up the table, there was no soup left on each table. There was not enough food, and everyone was too embarrassed to say anything."

“Hey, if you want to do it beautifully, but you are reluctant to spend money, how can it work.”

"Or it's like the butcher's family, who used a half pig to make twelve dishes, each in a big pot and bowl. Or like this family, who make eight dishes only, which is enough. Many families are like this, and no one will make fun of it."

Xu He, as Xu Shaochun's natal family member, stayed at his own home for dinner on the wedding banquet, and didn’t go to Fei's house, so he didn't know what the banquet was like at Fei's house. Speaking of which, his second sister also got married for a while, and since she got married, although they lived in the same village, he left early and returned late, so he really hadn't met her.

Today, he was doing errands in the Chen family, and he hadn't seen his mother came to help. His mother liked to do errands for people in the village. At present, it was estimated that there were only two people left in the family, and Xu Changren was injured again, so she really couldn’t leave and come here.
