Siheyuan: Starting to work in the security department

Having nothing to do in the afternoon, Niu Ping'an prepared to go to the supply and marketing cooperative to use his cigarette and alcohol coupons.

When we walked to the middle courtyard, we saw Xu Damao, Sha Zhu and a few other young men huddled together, whispering to each other, with obscene and cunning smiles on their faces.

Seeing the two enemies getting together, Niu Ping'an walked over with some curiosity.

"Ping An, come here quickly."

Before Niu Ping'an got close, Xu Damao noticed him and immediately called him over.

"Brother Damao, what are you talking about?"

Niu Ping'an was not embarrassed when he was discovered by them, and approached them openly.

"Ping An, do you want to go to the wall tonight?"

Silly Zhu said with a smile.

"Ah? You guys go ahead, I won't go!"

Niu Ping'an thought they were discussing something important, but this is the result?

Niu Ping'an, who was deeply influenced by the island culture, had no interest in eavesdropping.

If they planned to go to the Bada Hutongs at night, Niu Ping'an would look at them with higher regard.

"You guys chat, I have something else to do."

Niu Ping'an waved his hand and walked out of the courtyard with some boredom.

"Hey.. Ping An is still young and doesn't understand the subtlety of this."

Seeing that the atmosphere was a bit awkward, the experienced Xu Damao explained.

"Well, Damao is right. What does a little brat know?"

Young people love to save face, Yan Jiecheng also echoed this.

"What? So you understand it very well?"

Shazhu has a foul mouth and can't stand other people showing off, so he couldn't help but say something back.

Yan Jiecheng blushed, secretly blaming Sha Zhu for not knowing how to behave and not being able to say polite words, but he defended himself by saying:

"Huh, you've never eaten pork, but you've seen a pig run?"

"Come on, it's like you go to the Eight Great Hutongs all the time."

Sha Zhu sneered, with disdain on his face.

"Hey, hey, hey, let's discuss what time we're going to act tonight?"

Xu Damao felt overwhelmed and could only interrupt the quarrel between the two.

"Eight?"

"Eight o'clock is too early, maybe around nine o'clock."

"Row!"

The four of them discussed in whispers for a while, then dispersed as if nothing had happened.

Niu Ping'an walked out of the courtyard and randomly found a supply and marketing cooperative, where he bought a pack of Daqianmen cigarettes and a few bottles of Erguotou.

Niu Ping'an wanted to buy Huazi Moutai, but unfortunately these things are not available to ordinary people and tickets are hard to get.

The shelves in food stores in Beijing appear to be filled with a wide variety of goods, but in fact they are filled with empty snack boxes and candy boxes.

There were some snacks and candies on the counter, but there was a big note next to them saying: "Not for sale."

It turns out that they were all for decoration and beautification of the city.

These days, Niu Pingan would go to the pigeon market every night to take a look, and collect some useful tickets, such as cotton tickets, tobacco and alcohol tickets, and shoe tickets.

As for the black market, Niu Ping'an has never been there. There is no shortage of food or oil, so he doesn't want to get into trouble.

It is the least cost-effective to buy grain now because the premium is too high; however, I bought a lot of vegetables, so I don’t have to worry about having to eat only stored vegetables in the winter.

There was nothing fun to do in Sijiucheng, so Niu Ping'an just took a stroll in the alleys and then returned to the courtyard to accompany Niu Baoguo.

In the evening, Niu Ping'an went out early as usual, took a stroll around the pigeon market and bought some vegetables.

As for eggs, it depends on your luck, as they are a scarce commodity just like meat.

After climbing over the wall and returning to the courtyard, I saw several shadowy figures sneaking towards Liu Haizhong's house.

Lie down under the windowsill and listen to the noise.

Niu Ping'an hid in the darkness and watched silently.

Xu Damao and the other three waited for a long time but heard no movement.

Yan Jiecheng couldn't help but ask, "Is it too late? Is it already over?"

Xu Damao was startled and quickly covered Yan Jiecheng's mouth.

Unfortunately, the noise outside the window was still heard by Liu Guangqi in the room.

He just opened the window and poured a basin of water down.

Sha Zhu and his three companions were drenched in fear and ran away without caring about anything else.

Looking at the four figures fleeing in panic, Liu Guangqi chuckled.

The lights in Liu's house were turned on, and the second aunt chased out with a feather duster.

But Sha Zhu and his three companions were all grown men, and Second Aunt could not catch up with them at all. They disappeared in the blink of an eye.

The second aunt could only spit on the ground in hatred and didn't have the courage to curse.

Niu Ping'an saw everything, smiled and went back to the house.

Xu Damao and three other people met at Sha Zhu's house and did not dare to turn on the lights.

Xu Damao couldn't help but complain, "Xie Cheng, what's wrong with you? You can't be patient at all."

"That's right. If we hadn't been discovered, we would have heard it."

Sha Zhu echoed from the side.

Yan Jiefang also looked at Yan Jiecheng with resentment, but after all, he was his elder brother, so Yan Jiefang didn't say much.

"I...I'm just afraid of wasting time!"

Yan Jiecheng knew he was in the wrong and stammered in his defense.

"Okay, I won't be able to hear the wall tonight.

What's going on? I didn't hear it and I'm suffering. "

Xu Damao sighed, feeling a little depressed. Not only could he not hear the wall, but he was also drenched all over.

“Luckily the weather isn’t too cold now, otherwise I would definitely catch a cold tomorrow.

Okay, let’s go!”

Sha Zhu was also a little bored and wanted to kick out these unreliable teammates.

"Wait a little longer, wait until the lights at Liu's house are turned off before leaving."

Sha Zhu's house is the main house in the middle courtyard, and the window can see the situation in the backyard. Seeing that the lights in Liu's house are still on, Xu Damao, who lives in the backyard, doesn't dare to go back now.

"Hey guys, how about going to the Eight Great Hutongs tonight?"

The more Xu Damao thought about it, the more uncomfortable he felt, and he couldn't help but encourage a few people to go out and have some fun.

Sha Zhu and the other two all had interested expressions on their faces, their eyes full of curiosity.

Especially Sha Zhu, the oldest one, almost couldn't help but agree.

But when he thought about the fact that it was easy to get sick in the Bada Hutongs, he suppressed his desire and his wish to get married became even stronger.

He couldn't help but turn his head towards the Jia family, his mind full of the image of Qin Huairu being pinned down and ravaged by Jia Dongxu.

As he thought about it, Sha Zhu subconsciously clenched his fists.

The two brothers Yan Jiecheng wanted to go and have a look, but unfortunately they had no money and were unsure.

Seeing that no one was talking, Xu Damao lost interest.

Fortunately, the lights were not on, otherwise the expressions of Sha Zhu and the other two would have been exposed to Xu Damao, and the Bada Hutong would have had a few more orders tonight.
