The mage in the late Qing Dynasty

In fact, Jin Tai's belongings have nothing to sell.

I still own two properties, and the one I live in has been mortgaged with a loan shark. This dilapidated house couldn't be sold several times. I wanted to mortgage it, but people didn't want it.

Those who come to Guandong usually bring their families with them, and the place is too small to live in. The locals didn't like this shabby house at all.

In addition, he is addicted to smoking, and with this enthusiasm, not to mention the house, his wife and children can be sold.

So, he asked for a guarantor, signed and pledged the house, and the house was transferred to Zhao Chuanxin's name.

After everything was over, Liu Baogui said: I'm telling you, you were tricked by Jin Tai's prodigal son. It looks like four silver dollars is very cheap, but in fact, this house will not be habitable unless it is overhauled.

Zhao Chuanxin hugged the little puppy and said nonchalantly: It's okay. I'll fix it up and this house will be very suitable for people to live in. Do me a favor and find Carpenter Li from the village to come over. I have work to do for him. .Also, buy me an ax and a hammer.

It was already dark.

Before Liu Guoguo set off, Zhao Zhongyi came to find someone to eat at his house.

Zhao Zhongyi's family is very popular. He has an old wife and children, and the mother-in-law is also a capable worker.

The kitchen was filled with steam, and Zhao Hongzhi ran in and out.

Seeing the puppy in Zhao Chuanxin's arms, Zhao Hongzhi's eyes lit up: Uncle, is this the cub from the litter of dogs from the Defu family?

Zhao Chuanxin handed the puppy to him: Yes, it belongs to him. If you like it, I can raise it for you.

Just as he was about to nod, his mother scolded: No, even people are almost out of food, and they still have dogs!

Zhao Chuanxin looked at the puppy. It was very thin and could not walk steadily. The back is black, the underbelly is lighter, there is a vertical strip of white hair in the middle, and there is a piece of white hair on the back of the neck. His ears were drooped, looking pitiful.

It looks a bit like a native dog, but the coat color of a native dog is not like this. But this was by no means the kind of thin dog that the bannermen hunted. Even if there was one, that kind of dog would have been sold by Jin Tai in exchange for cigarettes.

The rice is ready, peanuts, stewed Chinese cabbage, pickled dried fish, fried eggs, and shredded radish soup.

This will serve guests, and these are the only ingredients.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't eat a bite of the stewed cabbage. He ate it frequently when he was a child and it hurt him.

Zhao Zhongyi also poured a cup of white wine for each person.

Women and children did not serve at the table and ate in the kitchen.

Zhao Chuanxin didn't have much capacity for alcohol, so after just two mouthfuls, he turned red.

Xiao Zhao, don't worry so much.

After two ounces of yellow soup, Zhao Chuanxin forgot about his ancestors. He stuck out his tongue, opened and closed his mouth and said either Xiao Zhao or Xiao Liu.

Tomorrow, tomorrow I will go with you and help you take care of things. Just keep your heart in mind.

The drinking capacity of Zhao Zhongyi and Liu Baobao is much higher than that of Zhao Chuanxin. Listening to his drunken rants, I couldn’t laugh or cry.

After all, Liu Baoguo had a lot of eyes, so he asked with the help of Jiu Jin: Passengers, tell the truth, where are you from?

Bang, Zhao Chuanxin slammed the table: Where do I come from? I'll scare you to death if I tell you!

The place I came from was full of traffic, high-rise buildings, and well-developed communications. It was infinitely better than our stagnant era. At least, if there is no robbery, the murderer will be shot.

Liu Guogui was surprised.

He has heard that the West is now very developed. It is said that Li Hongzhang went to the United States and when he came back, he never mentioned what he saw there.

Later, it was rumored that the building in the United States was more than 20 stories high. Four-wheeled cars can be seen everywhere on the streets. There are also machines that can fly in the sky.

All kinds of experiences are like fantasy and incredible.

Could it be that Zhao Chuanxian came back from the United States? So it turns out that it was true that he studied abroad?

Liu Baoguo asked again: Passage, why are you willing to help us? You should have pawned a lot of money from the pawn shop, so you don't need those three or two bowls of noodles.

I saw Zhao Chuanxin starting to look back and forth from their faces, and then he smiled stupidly: Hey, hey, why, why? Because I have to help you, you are Xiao Zhao and Xiao Liu. Without you, there would be no me. Haha, haha, so amazing...

The two of them just thought he was talking drunkenly.

Zhao Chuanxin drank too much.

Although he often speaks eloquently and his words are very incoherent. However, he is just an ordinary person after all, and he also has pressure in his heart.

Tonight, in front of the two ancestors, I felt a little relaxed. I dropped my guard and drank too much.

Liu Guoguo helped him up: Okay, okay, I'll help you go back to sleep.

Early the next day, Zhao Chuanxin was woken up by thirst.

It felt like there was smoke coming out of my throat.

The little puppy didn't bark, but when he saw him getting up, he stumbled behind him.

I went outside and scooped out a ladle of water from the jar with a gourd ladle, and drank half of it. Pour some more and feed the puppy.

At this time, Liu Guogui also woke up.

With sleepy eyes, he stretched and said, I'll order some noodles for us both to eat.

Zhao Chuanxin reminded: Place more and bring one for the puppy.

What? What kind of fine grains do beasts eat?

It's okay, just do it. I'll give you money at the worst.

While feeding the puppy, Zhao Chuanxin thought for a while and said: You are a bitch. Bitch? Let me think about it, what are the surnames of the heroines in The Domineering President? Shen, Tang, Su, Xu? Ning ?Lin? It seems that the one who likes the second-generation rich diaosi the most is Gu, right? Gu Xi? Gu Nan? Gu Nian? Gu Sheng? Gu Xia, Gu Mi, Gu Meng? Gu Xi? Shui Xin? Liang Qiu? Um? , it seems a bit insulting. Then I think about the male protagonist again. Is it the most loser surnamed Ye, or Lu? Forget it, seeing that you eat so well, let’s call you ‘Gangfan’. Ganfan person, Ganfan soul , grounding is the highest level.”

After washing up, Zhao Zhongyi came over and wanted to talk to the manager of the Niu family today.

Well, the pace of life is a bit fast, and I don’t even have time to “write” a diary. Ah, who the serious person writes a diary?

When Zhao Chuanxin goes out, he must take all his family belongings with him.

First, hang the devil's vine on your waist, the eagle bone whistle on your chest, and put the carving knife in your pocket, waiting to make a shell when you have the opportunity in the future.

The most important thing is to keep the diary properly, no one dares to steal it and fight with him!

Looking at the devil's vine on his waist, Zhao Chuanxin suddenly remembered a sentence, how to say it: When mountain cannons enter the city, hang a hemp rope around your waist...

When he arrived in the city, in front of a snack shop, Zhao Chuanxin stopped Zhao Zhongyi in front of him: Wait a minute, I'll go in.

When he went into the snack shop, he spent some money and bought a pack of snacks.

Hey, Renyi Wushuang is talking about me, Zhao Chuanxin. I don’t care about hurting my ancestors. What’s the point of spending a small amount of money?

Seeing Zhao Chuanxin coming out with a bag of snacks, Zhao Zhongyi asked tentatively: Is this for Manager Niu?

Nodding, Zhao Chuanxin admitted: Yes, it would be disrespectful to come in empty-handed.

How can I let you spend money?

It's okay, don't worry about these details.

Zhao Zhongyi: ...
