Siheyuan: At the beginning, he scolded the sticks!

The yellow paper mixed with black soil is extremely conspicuous, but what is even more conspicuous are the two black footprints on it.

One belonged to He Yuzhu and the other belonged to Xu Damao.

Both of them heard the sound of the book falling to the ground, and at the same time felt that they had just stepped on something soft under their feet, and their leg froze in place immediately.

Looking at each other, he turned his head slowly, looking at the book with torn pages on the ground, He Yuzhu was the first to react:

"Xu Damao, it's all your fault!"

"It's not my business?"

"It's all your fault for pushing and yelling, is it okay now? This book costs five yuan anyway!"

As soon as he heard that the book was worth five yuan, Xu Damao shouted even louder, for fear that he would bear the responsibility.

"You have to be reasonable, He Yuzhu, obviously you squeezed me first."

"Let's not care who gave it to whom, I'll just ask you, whose hand did this book fall out of?"

Just as Xu Damao was about to speak, he suddenly realized that the book seemed to have fallen from his side. The one that fell on the ground was the first book, and the second book was still in his hand. He panicked all of a sudden.

He stretched out his hand and wanted to throw the book he was carrying into He Yuzhu's hand, but He Yuzhu dodged and jumped into the room, smiling very happily, which made Xu Damao want to hit someone a little bit.

"Now you can't afford to lose it, can you? Hurry up and pay for the books you lost, five yuan a book!"

As soon as Zhang Long came back from parking his bicycle, he heard these two people arguing about it. Looking at the book that no one had picked up so far, he bent down to pick up the book and entered the door, towards the two people who were arguing with each other at the door. He said: "For this book, each of you will pay half of it."

The smile on He Yuzhu's face immediately froze, and he turned his head to look at the old lady who was sitting on the bed and watching a movie. Just as she was about to ask her to intercede, she heard Zhang Long's voice from the room:
"Don't beg my grandma, it's useless."

The wife was very cooperative, and she couldn't see her eyes from laughing: "Yes, yes, yes, I can't hear, my ears are too deaf, what did you just say!"

He Yuzhu let out a hey, put the book on the table, and was going to find the old lady to have a good "break, break, talk", but seeing Zhang Long and the old lady's appearance, he knew in his heart that Zhang Long didn't care about these things.

Just because He Yuzhu knew it didn't mean Xu Damao knew it, anyway, he believed it to be true, but when he thought that He Yuzhu was cheated together this time, he felt that it would be okay to pay the two yuan and five.

Without further ado, he took out two yuan and five dollars from his pocket, stuffed it into the old lady's hand, and said to He Yuzhu provocatively:
"I've already given the money, so give it quickly."

The old lady grabbed the money in her hand, laughed and drank.

He Yuzhu spread his hands, with a rogue expression: "I didn't bring any money with me, I will bring the money another day, and then give it to the old lady, old lady, do you think it's okay?"

The old lady looked like she couldn't hear: "I can't hear what brought the money."

"Did you hear that, the old lady disagrees, quickly take out the money!"

He Yuzhu didn't take the money, so Xu Damao searched him inside and out. In the end, he pushed him on the bench and took off his shoes, and found three yuan from the bottom of his feet.

"Your money really stinks!"

While talking, Xu Damao put his nose close to the three yuan and sniffed it, then slapped his nose and distanced the money from himself.

"You are perverted, you smell other people's feet! Bring it to me!"

Just as He Yuzhu was about to reach out to take back the three yuan, Xu Damao dodged it.

Xu Damao stood up and grabbed the three yuan in his hand with three fingers, and swung it towards Zhang Long, extremely proud.

Then pinching his nose, he shook the three yuan and bent down, handing it to the old lady's hand.

"Come here, old lady, take a look. This is three yuan, plus the two and a half just now, a total of five and a half. You, give me another fifty cents, and our account will be settled!"

"Xu Damao! You are the one who settled accounts like this!"

Before He Yuzhu finished speaking, the old lady put the three yuan in her hand, and then shouted at the top of her voice, "What, give me fifty cents, okay, it's good, it's good."

Xu Damao hurriedly repeated it again, his voice doubled: "I said, I will give you three yuan in total, and you will refund me another fifty cents, understand? Give me fifty cents back!"

"What? You want to give me another fifty cents?"

"No, you gave me fifty cents!"

"Ah, it's you who want to give me fifty cents, I understand."

Seeing the old lady like this, Xu Damao was so anxious that he slapped his thigh: "What do you understand? If you understand, give me the fifty cents!"

The wife quickly stretched out the hand that didn't take the money, and placed it in front of Xu Damao.

Xu Damao let out an ouch, with a painful expression on his face.

He Yuzhu next to him was already laughing like crazy, clutching his stomach mercilessly, lying beside the chair and laughing loudly, Zhang Long who had just entered the room also grinned.

Only the old lady looked confused, and stretched out her hand towards Xu Damao, her eyes full of confusion:
"What about the money?"

Xu Damao gave up, slapped himself hard on the head twice, took several deep breaths, looked at He Yuzhu who was lying on the chair and the sound of laughter could be heard throughout the yard, and pointed at him for a long time without saying anything. Say a word.

In the end, he just flicked his hand, wrapped the padded jacket around his body tightly, and rushed out under the eyes of everyone at the door.

"Forget it, I will give you the fifty cents, so you can keep it for yourself!"

He Yuzhu looked out with his neck up, saw Xu Damao rushing out of the yard, and kindly asked him to walk slowly.

As soon as this sentence was uttered, Xu Damao walked faster.

It was getting late, and the spectators gradually dispersed, and the color TV was installed in the outermost room so that everyone could watch it together while eating.

At eight o'clock in the evening and almost nine o'clock in the evening, the bed Zhang Long bought also came. Anyway, it was almost 11 o'clock in the future. After giving the porters a little tip, they locked the door and went back to sleep.

With the help of the old lady, he tidied up all the bedding and the like, then went to bed, and fell asleep happily.

When I woke up the next morning, I just felt refreshed, and even turning over was very comfortable.

Stretched, got up from the bed in his own bed, went to the kitchen to heat up breakfast before the old lady woke up, then said hello to the sleeping old lady, and prepared to go to work in the rolling mill.

When he walked to the bedside of the old lady, he still saw the five yuan and fifty cents that the old lady pressed under the pillow. Thinking of what happened yesterday, he felt a little better this day.

Since Zhang Long woke up early today and was riding a bicycle again, it was only seven o'clock in the morning when he arrived at the office door.
