You said you would tell fortunes, so you can catch ghosts and exterminate zombies easily?

The middle-aged man trotted out and quickly left Chunming Street.

Old Liao opposite sighed.

"Hey, you don't believe it? Isn't it embarrassing? Hey, watching that thing in front of relatives and friends at the wedding, you know how to play it!"

Someone asked Lao Liao, "You keep talking here all day, why don't you go get your fortune told?"

"What about 20?" Old Liao glared. "Besides, my family is pretty good, there's nothing to calculate. But Old An, your son has found someone who's almost a good match, right? Why don't you ask a young man to do the calculation?"

Upon hearing this, Aunt Li quickly added, "That's right, Old An. When matching horoscopes, choose a young man. It's guaranteed to be a good match. A harmonious family is the foundation of everything. If the family isn't harmonious, look at Old Liao's family. They're constantly being scolded."

"Who are you talking about?"

Kong Aichun came out with a thermos and glanced at Lao Liao: "I'm talking about you, right? Hurry up and talk to your son and daughter-in-law. Stop arguing all day long. How can I sleep at night?"

"Besides, what daughter-in-law wouldn't wash her father-in-law's clothes when she's at home? Look at you, you're almost patinated. Hurry up and take a shower and change your clothes. They stink. And you're still a foodie. No wonder you have the worst business on the whole street."

"Hey!" Old Liao wanted to say something else, but when he saw Kong Aichun turn around and leave, he felt depressed.

After a long while, he pulled the clothes and sniffed them: "It doesn't stink! Why wash it?"

Su Chen shook his head slightly and continued to hold up "The Examination of Alchemy".

Old An, the shoe repairman, finally breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that they were no longer talking about him.

What do you mean the relationship is almost over?

There is not a single stroke of the pen.

His family didn't have much money to begin with, and the other party wanted a house, 28 legs, and a bicycle with a color TV, which he really couldn't afford.

Because of this, my son drank alone at home until 11 o'clock last night.

Lao An feels guilty whenever he thinks about it.

He doesn't know how to do business. He can only earn three or five dollars a day by repairing shoes. I'm afraid it will take him a long time to be able to afford a wife.

Thinking of this, wrinkles appeared on Lao An's face.

A pair of leather shoes stopped in front of his stall.

Lao An slowly raised his head: "Bu... Huanhuan?"

Aunt Li heard the noise and exclaimed, "Old An, what delicious food did Huanhuan bring you again? So many big and small packages?"

Old Liao looked over and couldn't hide his envy when he heard this.

"Old An, you've accumulated hundreds of years of blessings to raise such a filial daughter. Every time you come home, your hands are full of joy. Unlike my two children, I don't see them all year round."

Old An, no longer in a sullen mood, stood up with a smile on his face. "Please help me look after the stall. I'm going home first to make some noodles for Huanhuan."

After Lao An and his daughter left, Lao Liao couldn't help but sigh: "Look at those shiny little leather shoes. Huanhuan is living a good life."

"That's not bad, otherwise who would let their daughter-in-law bring so many things back to her parents' home every day?"

"What does Huanhuan's husband do?"

"Is he driving a big car?"

"I don't think she goes home very often throughout the year, does she? I think she's been married for over three years and hasn't had a child yet. I'm afraid she doesn't lay eggs..."

"Shh, shh, shh~ Don't say anything, be careful that Lao An hears it."

Everyone quickly understood and kept their mouths shut.

Su Chen listened without raising his head and just chuckled.

He likes Chunming Street very much.

The ghost spirit of the past life has revived, and the streets are deserted.

But here in Chunming Street, the neighbors know each other, they will help each other, they will look down on each other, and they will even gossip about each other. Amidst the laughter and scolding, there is a strong sense of daily life.

He picked up the bowl and drank some peanut soup. Mmm, it was sweet.

Suddenly, Su Chen raised his head and looked in the direction of Ye Ji Noodle House in the distance, and a head immediately shrank back.

Yu Gangqiang pressed his back against the wall and patted his chest gently.

Scared someone to death!

This master's eyesight is too sharp, isn't it? I was secretly observing from such a distance, how could I still be discovered?

What should I do? Is this still revenge?

Yu Gangqiang got angry when he recalled how he was taken to the police station the day before yesterday, tortured for a day, and detained for another day.

Yes, someone paid him to cause trouble.

But it hasn't even started yet? He was arrested.

Not only was his outfit worth hundreds of yuan returned, but he was also fined 50 yuan. Now he can't even afford a steamed bun, and his pockets are empty.

Thinking of Yu Gangqiang, his eyes were fixed on the passers-by.

As a thief, his best skill is...

Lin Jingyu! Captain Lin's younger brother, I'm hiding~

Lin Jingyu came back with a bag of red envelopes in his hand.

"Uncle Ning, you came to help me the day before yesterday. This is your red envelope. Take it."

"Grandma Zhou, you've been helping out in the store for the past three days, so this is yours."

"Sister Xiaoling, thank you for helping with the cleaning. This is yours..."

……

Red envelopes were sent all the way, which made Yu Gangqiang's eyes burn with excitement.

Why don't you give me all the money you have? You even give it away in red envelopes!

Rich people are disgusting!

Soon, his eyes fell on the leather bag on Lin Jingyu's waist. It was bulging. If he took it, maybe...

Soon Yu Gangqiang shook his head vigorously.

No, no, this is Captain Lin’s younger brother. If I really steal from him, I will not be in jail for just one or two days.

He slapped his forehead in pain, then quickly covered his stomach.

I'm hungry!

My stomach was rumbling with hunger, and the fragrance filling the street made me even hungrier.

Feeling depressed, Yu Gangqiang heard footsteps coming from behind.

Da da da.

It was the sound of leather shoes stepping on the stone surface.

I turned my head warily and saw a young woman wearing a coat and leather shoes. The woman was sweet-looking with fair skin. She subconsciously covered her stomach while walking, just like me.

Yu Gangqiang felt a sense of familiarity at that moment.

Could it be that this woman is also hungry?

He is dressed so well but is still hungry. Is he in the same line of work as me?

But soon, he shook his head subconsciously.

No, judging by the way she was carrying the purse, it definitely wasn't her.

Yu Gangqiang watched the woman walk out of the alley.

He heard Lin Jingyu greet the woman: "Huanhuan? When did you come back?"

"Brother Jingyu, I just got back. There are no eggs at home. I'm going to buy some from Grandma Zhou's store."

"Come sit over there with me later."

"it is good."

Yu Gangqiang punched the wall twice: I knew it!

Then he became happy again.

It would be fine if they weren't in the same industry, but the way this woman casually carried her handbag, wasn't she just inviting me to steal?

The money is coming!

He rubbed his hands together excitedly.

An Jianhuan had long noticed the pale-faced man at the entrance of the alley, wearing thin clothes and holding his stomach.

When she and her brother were hungry as children, they also covered their stomachs like this.

Thinking of this, An Jianhuan bought an extra thousand-layer cake when he bought eggs. When they entered the alley, the man accidentally fell over while holding his stomach. An Jianhuan hurriedly helped him up.

"Hey, are you okay?"

She helped the man steady himself and handed him the thousand-layer cake she had bought: "Here, fill your stomach."

Then he persuaded her: "The neighbors here are all very nice. If you want to find a job, you can go to the bookshelf in front and find Brother Jingyu. He is very enthusiastic and will definitely help you find a job. You will have no problem making ends meet."

After saying that, An Jianhuan smiled and nodded at Yu Gangqiang, then continued walking forward with the eggs.

Yu Gangqiang looked at the thousand-layer cake, then took out his right hand from behind his back, revealing a small leather wallet.

He was stunned for a moment, then looked up into the alley, but the person was gone.

For the first time, Yu Gangqiang felt that both his hands were heavy, and his throat felt like something was stuck, making it sore and uncomfortable.

He bit his lip, unwrapped the paper wrapper of the mille-feuille, and nibbled on it bit by bit.

The pastry was choking, but… sweet.

As sweet as the sweet dumplings my mother used to cook when I was a child.

While eating, Yu Gangqiang subconsciously raised his hand to wipe the corner of his eyes, then sniffed and stuffed the thousand-layer cake into his mouth in three bites.

The leather wallet was carefully held in his palm.

Even a thief must have a conscience.

He wants to return this wallet!
