Chapter 123: The Snake Turns Back to Hurt People
Chapter 123: The Snake Turns Back to Hurt People
In the morning, Qin Dabao was sleeping soundly when he felt an itch in his nostrils. When he opened his eyes, he saw Wenwen and Niuniu, each holding a piece of hair and poking his nostrils.
Qin Dabao hugged the two little girls in his arms and nudged their little bellies, making the little girls giggle with joy.
"My brother is a lazy cat, his butt is sunbathing."
Qin Dabao looked at the sunlight coming in through the window. It was already past seven o'clock. He hadn't slept so soundly in a long time. It was probably because of the alcohol.
He turned over and got up with his sisters in his arms. When he turned around, he saw that Erbao was gone.
Qin Dabao asked curiously: "Where is your brother?"
Niuniu pointed to the next room and said, "Sister is teaching little brother to read."
It seemed as if the child could speak fluently overnight and no longer had a lisp.
Qin Dabao peeked out of the window. It was bright outside. It seemed that his parents had gone to work first. The couple were very carefree now. As long as their eldest son was at home, they no longer worried about the food and drink of the little ones.
It seemed that he was the last one to get up. He carried his two sisters off the kang, took out spiritual well water from the space to wash his sisters' faces and brush their teeth, and then washed himself as well.
After cleaning up and leaving the house, Cuicui greeted him with a bitter face.
Qin Dabao walked over and rubbed her little head: "What's wrong? Why are you so tense so early in the morning?"
Cuicui pinched Erbao's little face and said, "Brother, look at Erbao. The day before yesterday, I used Sister Yushui's old textbooks to teach Erbao. He finished learning the first-grade Chinese and math textbooks in just three days. It's amazing."
Qin Dabao squatted down in surprise and asked his brother: "Erbao, have you learned all the first-grade textbooks?"
Erbao pursed his lips and nodded very seriously.
Qin Dabao recalled that he was not so abnormal in his studies at that time. However, Erbao in his previous life was very smart, but not to this extent.
Could it be the effect of the spiritual well water? That makes sense. Look, Niuniu has lost her slurred speech, and the two little girls are very well behaved. Even Erbao has become much more obedient and rarely makes trouble.
This conjecture gave Qin Dabao a new understanding of the spiritual well water in space.
"Then you guys learn slowly, I'll go buy you some meat buns."
The three little guys cheered.
Cuicui continued to teach Erbao to write. Qin Dabao held Niuniu and took Wenwen's hand as they went out. Niuniu was so happy that she kept kicking her feet. Dabao found that his two sisters were becoming more and more attached to him, especially Wenwen. As long as he was at home, Wenwen would never leave him.
He understood that Wenwen had transferred her dependence on her parents to him, which made Qin Dabao very sad. The little guy had always known that his parents would never come back, but he was sensible and never said it.
. . . . . . . .
The breakfast stalls on Gulou Street have always been famous, especially the meat buns, which have their own secret recipes for fillings. But Qin Dabao knew that the three-year famine was about to come, and the government was strictly controlling food.
This breakfast stall will soon run out of fine grains, and eventually even the big pancakes will be gone, let alone meat.
Qin Dabao decided that next time he hunted a wild boar, he would ask the master chef to make hundreds of buns with the wild boar meat. After all, the meat would not go bad if kept in the space, so he would not be unable to eat it within three years if he wanted to.
"Uncle Du, give me twenty buns."
"Hey, Dabao, twenty? You can eat so much, kid? Can you finish it?"
"Of course I can. I have younger brothers and sisters."
Qin Dabao actually wanted to put ten into the space. He was a little tired of eating roast duck these two days. He didn't dare to say this idea out loud, otherwise countless people would definitely scold him for being pretentious.
"Okay, twenty of them, a total of two dollars and four, eight ounces of meat coupons, and one pound and two ounces of grain coupons. Man, I'll put them all in this basket for you. You can return the basket to me when you have time."
"No problem, Uncle Du. By the way, are you still here at noon?"
"Yes, I have to close the stall at one in the afternoon and go back to the hotel to settle the bill."
"Oh, then I'll leave you eight dollars and four pounds of food coupons. I'll have my younger brothers and sisters come over for lunch to eat the rest. You can deduct the money when the time comes, and I'll settle the bill with you when I'm free. Is that okay with you?"
"Okay, why not?" Master Du smiled happily. It was not because he had made a good deal. His breakfast stall was now under the management of a state-owned restaurant, and he would get paid regardless of how much he sold. He was just happy to see that someone liked the food he cooked.
Wenwen and Niuniu were walking hand in hand, skipping and hopping in front, each of them chewing a meat bun.
Qin Dabao was never like other parents who kept nagging their children not to get oil on their bodies. He had some cloth in his space and was going to make two more sets of clothes for Cuicui and the three little ones.
The fabrics in his space are all thick, perfect for making clothes in winter.
When entering the courtyard, he bumped into Yan Bugui. Yan Bugui had recovered. He went to the study class of the street office for three hours every day, and started to be a door god again for the rest of the time. Qin Dabao guessed that it was the courage given to him by the two new families who moved in.
Passing by Jia's house, Qin Huairu was standing at the door holding Xiaodang, and Banggeng was talking to Niuniu.
Qin Dabao remembered that in his previous life, it was either 59 or 60. Jia Dongxu had an accident in the workshop and was caught in a machine tool.
He also left behind a posthumous daughter, whose name was Hua.
This history is not something he can change, so Qin Dabao looks at his niece Qin Huairu and feels pity for her.
Qin Dabao patted Banggeng's head and said, "Go play with Erbao."
Banggeng was drooling at the meat buns in Wenwen and Niuniu's hands. When he heard what Grandpa Bao said, he knew that he could also eat delicious food. He couldn't help but cheer and ran away with Wenwen and Niuniu.
Qin Dabao handed Qin Huairu two buns and walked away without saying anything.
Qin Huairu sighed and carried Xiaodang into the house. She knew in her heart that her mother-in-law and Jia Dongxu had completely offended her with their actions.
Qin Dabao ate two buns and told Cuicui that if Lu Xiu'e didn't come back at noon, he should take Erbao and the others to the breakfast stall for lunch. Then he put on his official uniform and pushed his bicycle out.
The two little girls insisted on seeing their brother off, so Qin Dabao put them on the back rack of the car.
Just as he pushed the bike out of the yard, a slap was swung at him. Qin Dabao quickly hugged his sister, turned around hastily, and protected both sisters in his arms, and dropped the bicycle to the side.
The slap hit Qin Dabao's head hard, knocking his hat off.
Qin Dabao put his two sisters down at the door and walked out of the courtyard.
The old lady howled like a madman and slapped Qin Dabao again.
Qin Dabao's eyes widened. He grabbed her wrist and twisted it with his backhand. The old lady screamed.
When people working in the alley saw the fight, they all gathered around.
Yan Bugui's eyes rolled and he took two steps forward: "Oh my, Dabao, let go! How can you, a public security officer, fight with the people? Especially women? You are so unreasonable!"
When these words were spoken, the onlookers were confused and started talking about it.
Qin Dabao's face darkened. This Yan Bugui was exaggerating right from the start. Beating the people? And even women? If this crime was proven, he would never be able to wear this outfit again.
Qin Dabao glanced at Yan Bugui. If this intellectual turned bad, no one else would be able to escape.
As soon as he let go, the aunt stumbled two steps, rubbed her arm, and turned back to look at Qin Dabao with resentment.
Qin Dabao looked at her and asked, "Why did you hit me?"
With a roar, the onlookers were shocked. This old woman was going to hit this man in official uniform? How bold was she?
The old lady turned around, her teeth chattering, "Last night, Lao Yi was scalded by molten iron and was sent to the hospital. He's still there."
Qin Dabao was a little confused: "What does it have to do with me?"
"What's it got to do with you? If you hadn't reported Lao Yi for having a flawed past, would he have been demoted from an eighth-grade worker? Would he have been sent to a study class and forced to go to the steel mill every day after get off work?"
All this is because of you, you ruined our lives..."
An old lady was screaming hysterically, with tears and snot streaming down her face.
Yan Bugui said sinisterly: "That's right, we are all old neighbors. Even if we don't help each other when there is something wrong, at least don't kick someone when they are down.
Old Yi has been honest and hardworking all his life, yet you dug up that little stain on his history. How can you be so vicious at such a young age? You have no sense of justice at all..."
