Rebirth in 1958: Getting rich starts from Nanluoguxiang

Cuicui was dressing the two little ones in the house. Dabao came to the kitchen and took out two large plates of roast duck, as well as small pancakes with cucumber sauce, and brought them outside to the square table.

Sha Zhu had already built up the charcoal fire, burning it red, and started roasting the lamb skewers.

Qin Dabao took out a bottle of Moutai and poured two glasses. The two of them drank and chatted. Cuicui also came out with two little girls. It was not New Year yet, so the two little girls did not wear new leather jackets.

The two little girls each had a roast duck leg, and ate it with great pleasure. Cuicui also got one. The little girl sat aside, biting it in small bites, and her eyes narrowed because of the delicious taste.

The aroma of burnt lamb skewers filled the entire backyard. Erbao and Banggeng ran in. Banggeng politely called out, "Grandpa Bao, Uncle Silly."

Qin Dabao patted his head and said, "What do you mean by silly uncle? It's rude. Remember to call me Uncle He from now on?"

Bang Geng didn't dare to talk back and nodded: "I remember."

Qin Dabao didn't dislike Bang Geng, and handed him a roast duck leg: "Sit down and eat."

Banggen is happy: "Hey"

Qin Dabao and Sha Zhu were grilling skewers and drinking. Sha Zhu was a well-known gossipmonger in the area. He was always busy with things.

Qin Dabao learned from him that two more families had moved into No. 95 Courtyard in the past few days. One family was surnamed Qi, and they were workers at a heavy machinery factory. There were eight people in the family, and only Mr. Qi worked to support the whole family.

When Qin Dabao heard that he worked at a heavy machinery factory, he was surprised. Wasn't that the same company as Xie Dongguo?

There is another family named Tan, with five people, a couple, an old mother and two children, living in the room in Liuhaizhong.

According to Sha Zhu's observation, this old lady Tan was not a reliable guest either. She had a pointed face and monkey cheeks, which contrasted with Jia Zhang's fat head and big ears. But both of them were not good people.

Just two days after moving in, we've already had several fights because I took a few onions and two cloves of garlic from my neighbor.

As soon as Sha Zhu finished speaking, an old lady with wrinkles all over her face walked into the backyard with a little boy of seven or eight years old with a runny nose.

When the little boy saw the roast duck on the table, his eyes lit up and he jumped and shouted, "Grandma, I want to eat that meat."

Qin Dabao glanced at them, then looked at Sha Zhu.

Sha Zhu said silently: Old Mrs. Tan.

Qin Dabao smiled, filled Sha Zhu's glass with Maotai, and patted Erbao's head: "Eat your meal well, don't watch the fun."

Erbao nodded obediently: "Yes, brother." Then he took the duck roll that Qin Dabao rolled for him and started eating it with big mouthfuls.

Mrs. Tan blew the little boy's nose and wiped it on the wall. This almost made Qin Dabao sick to death.

Niu Niu shouted: "Brother, this grandma is unhygienic." The little girl spoke clearly now.

Qin Dabao took the handkerchief and wiped Niuniu's greasy mouth: "Yes, we can't learn this kind of unhygienic behavior."

Niuniu nodded vigorously: "Yes, Niuniu is a good child who pays attention to hygiene."

Wenwen also shouted: "Brother, Wenwen is also a good child who pays attention to hygiene."

Mrs. Tan whispered to the little boy, "Baoquan, wait for grandma to give you some meat."

The little boy’s name is Tan Baoquan. He knows that his grandmother loves him the most and says that he will definitely get to eat meat.

Old Mrs. Tan looked around at the Qin family's house, then at the roast duck on the table and the roasted meat skewers, and exclaimed: "Wow, this house, this food, this is the life of landlords and capitalists! My family just moved in, please give the children a piece of meat."

The tone definitely indicated that he was going to have a meal, and he was being very confident about it.

Sha Zhu's face turned pale, this was too harsh a accusation.

Qin Dabao was also angry. This newly moved neighbor was too inhuman. He was threatening people with death as soon as he opened his mouth. Who dared to accuse someone of being a landlord or capitalist? You have to know that in this era, this crime is a crime that costs lives.

Dabao sneered. He hadn't shown his power for a few days, and some people in this courtyard actually thought that he couldn't even draw his knife.

"Who are you? Why do you have to come to the yard to beg for food?"

Mrs. Tan choked. In her experience, no one could refuse her, especially the young ones. They all wanted to save face. If she pushed them like this, they would at least give her half a plate of meat.

But she didn't expect the young man in front of her to play by his rules. Her face suddenly fell, and she said sarcastically: "Hey, young man, why are you talking so harshly? We are all neighbors. If someone has something delicious, they should give it to their children. This is a favor. Who knows, when my family's conditions improve in the future, I might give your children some of the good food. Why do you say you want to eat or not?"

Qin Dabao saw the shadow of Jia Zhang in this face. She was unreasonable, a scoundrel, and shameless. If she got a little older, she would be invincible.

Qin Dabao looked again and saw that the little boy's snot was running across the river again. He was so disgusted that he was too lazy to pay attention to them, so he stopped looking and turned to look at his two little girls.

Clean, fair and tender, it attracts people's attention no matter how you look at it.

He rolled another duck roll and handed it to Erbao, and gave Banggeng two skewers of lamb.

"You two should stop playing with kids like this in the future. They are too dirty. If you are so dirty, your brother will not want you anymore."

Erbao had grown up and understood things. He nodded while chewing the duck roll. Oil flowed down the corners of his lips, and Qin Dabao quickly wiped it off for him.

Niuniu burst into tears: "Brother, Niuniu is not dirty, please don't leave Niuniu."

Qin Dabao couldn't bear to see his sister cry. He slapped himself lightly on the mouth. It was really mean. He quickly hugged Niuniu to comfort her.

The little boy looked at the duck meat and the fragrant skewers on the plate, his mouth watering with greed. He sat down on the ground and started rolling around.

"I want to eat meat, I want to eat meat, milk, I want to eat meat..."

His crying attracted people from the central courtyard.

Mrs. Tan's triangular eyes stood up, she walked to the table in a few steps, stretched out her hand to grab the duck meat,

"There's so much meat, why don't you give my grandson a few pieces?"

Qin Dabao saw the old lady's hands, which were shiny black, and the cracks between her fingernails were full of black mud. He felt so disgusted that he almost vomited.

He didn't tolerate her and slapped Mrs. Tan out.

Old Mrs. Tan never expected that someone would dare to hit her. Since liberation, no one has dared to hit an old lady like her. This has spoiled her to the point where she is no longer a human being.

She fell to the ground and started crying with snot and tears.

"Oh my God, please open your eyes! What kind of world is this? He is rich but unkind. Why don't you just strike him to death with lightning?"

Old Mrs. Tan glanced sideways and saw that the moon gate was crowded with neighbors, including Jia Zhang, who had quarreled with her. She couldn't help but become more excited.

"My dear old man, why did you die so early? You let us, an orphan and a widow, suffer in this life, being beaten and scolded. You wait for me on the road to the underworld. I am about to be beaten to death by this little beast. When I die, you take me to the King of Hell to file a complaint and say that I was beaten to death..."

She even composed a song for this lament, using a Beijing folk tune.

Jia Zhang was speechless. This old man was using the same words as mine.

The neighbors watched with great interest, and no one felt sorry for her because Jia Zhang had already done what Old Mrs. Tan said and did, so it was nothing new to her.

The courtyard became bustling with activity after this. Everyone was looking forward to seeing which of the two necromancers had greater skills and which ghost he summoned would be more powerful.

Sha Zhu was so angry that he saw stars before his eyes. He gritted his teeth and said, "Old lady, there is no such thing as you. You come up here and ask for food and drink, and if you don't give it to me, you just snatch it away. You can't be so shameless, right?"

Old Mrs. Tan cursed: "You are shameless, your whole family is shameless. You eat and drink lavishly, and don't even think about taking care of the poor. People like you should be knocked down and paraded through the streets! Let God strike you to death with lightning."

Sha Zhu was so angry that his hands were shaking and he couldn't utter a word.

Qin Dabao's face darkened and he waved at Bang Geng, who rushed over.

"Grandpa Bao."

Qin Dabao rolled up a duck roll and stuffed it into his hand. "Go, report to the neighborhood committee office. Someone is spreading feudal superstition and slandering the government in this courtyard. Have them handle it. Come back for dinner."

Banggeng's mouth was full, he nodded continuously, turned around and started running, but he was grabbed by someone just as he reached the Moon Gate...
