Just a quick calculation, you are a fugitive!

Chapter 222: It’s… pretty amazing

The coughing continued until dawn. Zhong Hongqi woke up in a daze. It was already bright outside and there was no sound from next door.

He turned his head and saw a washbasin on the bedside. There was a bowl in the washbasin and a plate on the bowl.

The hot water in the basin had cooled down. Zhong Hongqi probed and found it was icy.

He opened the plate and shoveled the cold porridge into his mouth. Then he heard a sound from outside.

"Is there money hidden in the newspaper? No, there really is not. I saw it yesterday..."

Zhong Hongqi was stunned for a moment. He got up and put on his clothes. He opened a crack in the window. His father, hunched over, led people to his utility room. There were all the rags he collected there.

And yesterday morning, he found an envelope in the pile of rags. There was 100 yuan in it.

No.

He couldn't return it.

He gave the master 20 yuan yesterday. Now there is only 80 yuan left.

This is the capital for his own fortune!

At least, I can't pay it back now.

He recalled the situation when he found the money yesterday, and soon he felt relieved.

He threw the envelope directly outside. The utility room was open, and anyone from the neighbors could go in.

As long as he denied it, he couldn't be traced to him.

He found an excuse to refute and made enough mental preparations, but he was still upset when he drank the porridge.

After waiting for a long time, he still didn't wait for his father to come and ask, but led people out.

The man was full of guilt: "I'm sorry, Lao Zhong, I guess I remembered it wrong, I'll go home and look for it again."

"It's okay, it's okay, everyone has a bad memory sometimes."

Zhong Hongqi breathed a sigh of relief.

Then he laughed.

He was able to get away from such a thing without doubting himself at all. He really deserved to get rich today!

He happily opened the door, and only took two steps, he met Zhong Jiaxiang who turned around, and the latter snorted unhappily: "Sleep so late every day, lazy!"

Lazy is lazy.

After today, you will look up to me!

Zhong Hongqi didn't bother with him, and looked behind him: "Where's my mother?"

"She went to collect junk."

"She coughed so badly, why did she go to collect junk?" Zhong Hongqi was angry, "Why didn't you stop her?"

"Stop? Is it useful to stop? If you don't collect some junk, you will have nothing to eat during the New Year?" Zhong Jiaxiang glared at him fiercely, "How dare you say that? If you didn't owe so much money..."

"Ah, I suddenly remembered that I have an appointment with someone, I'm leaving first!"

Zhong Hongqi ran away as if escaping.

Seeing this, Zhong Jiaxiang shook his head helplessly, sighed, and resigned himself to helping Zhong Hongqi close the door and walked out.

It started to drizzle.

A Liang came over with a sad face, took off his bamboo hat and put it by the door, sighing: "Uncle, I want to go down the mountain to play, I don't want to walk on the mountain road."

Su Chen glanced at him: "Are you too lazy to walk?"

"Hehe, mainly because of the new shoes I wore today..." A Liang showed off his new leather shoes, "Third Aunt bought them for me, and also introduced a girl to me. I'm going to the town to see her today. Uncle, walking on the mountain road in the rain, I'm covered in mud, and the soles of my shoes must be stained with yellow mud. How bad is that, isn't it?"

Liu Chunhua immediately became alert: "Xiaoyan introduced you a girl? Which girl?"

Old Man Su was also surprised: "I haven't heard her talk about it before!"

"Hehe, Fourth Uncle said that she just came back from work yesterday."

"Then you have to dress up well."

"Yes, and you can't get muddy."

Liu Chunhua and Old Man Su looked at Su Chen together, Su Chen helplessly: "You two just love your grandson, what's the mud? Wearing old clothes and old shoes down the mountain, it's different when you change back?"

A Liang laughed: "Uncle is still smart," he scratched his head, "I just... want to try the ghost road again, it's so fast, it's there in a flash..."

These words touched Old Man Su's heart.

After experiencing the ghost road once, he even disliked the mountain road.

Occasionally, he thought that it would be great if he had that ability, not to mention going to the town, he could go directly to Beijing to have a look.

"Uncle~" A Liang pulled Su Chen's arm and shook it, "Just take me to the town~"

Su Chen got goose bumps.

He slapped Aliang's hand away: "How old are you and still acting like a spoiled child? You're still a man."

"Hehe, then uncle, will you agree?"

Su Chen was helpless: "Let's go, let's go."

He was still hesitating whether to set up a stall in the city. After sending Aliang off, he simply stepped into the public toilet on Chunming Street.

This time he appeared directly in front of Lao Yu, who blinked and handed over the bowl in his hand: "Want some porridge?"

"No, Uncle Yu, I've eaten."

After the people left, Lao Yu silently scooped two spoonfuls of porridge into his mouth: "Just don't show up when I squat... Well, don't step on shit..."

When Su Chen arrived at the hardware store, A Biao hadn't gotten up yet.

Lian Zhenzhen smiled from ear to ear when she saw him: "Xiao Su, your tiger whip wine is amazing."

Who said it wasn't?

Su Chen sat in the hardware store for two hours, and Wang Haitao didn't see him.

He was happy and comfortable, and continued to read.

The rain gradually got heavier.

Old Liao, who was standing opposite, moved his stall to the yarn shop with a sad face.

"Old Liao, I told you to weld a canopy on your tricycle but you refused to listen. How much does it cost? You have to hide here every time it rains..."

Kong Aichun said a few words of disdain and threw him an old towel: "I heard that your daughter-in-law is pregnant again?"

When he mentioned this, Old Liao frowned.

"Of course, I really want her to give birth, but... she already has two children."

"You will be fined for having more than one child. If you really want to have one, it will be very difficult!" Kong Aichun suggested, "Anyway, you have two grandchildren now, so you don't need to have children to continue the family line. Just have an abortion and let your daughter-in-law get sterilized."

Old Liao scratched his forehead in distress: "Let's talk about it later, I..."

He sighed: "I will find out how much the fine is and calculate whether it is enough. It will hurt her body if she gets sterilized."

Kong Aichun nodded: "That's right."

He said: "It would be great if you had relatives in the mountains. Let your daughter-in-law give birth in the mountains, so she won't be afraid of being caught."

"Of course there are none~"

As they were talking, someone entered the store.

"Sister, let me ask, where is the fortune teller who sets up a stall here? Is he here today?"

Kong Aichun has always been fashionable. She has curly hair, makeup and lipstick. She wears a skirt and high heels in the middle of winter. Who wouldn't say she is the beauty of Chunming Street?

But compared with the woman in front of her, she felt a little ashamed.

The woman looked about 30 years old, and when she got close, a jasmine scent filled her nose.

She was also wearing high heels, but long boots and jeans, showing off her long legs.

She was tall and slim, but her face was white and not much powdered, and you could see that there were no pores or spots.

She was so beautiful, she must be a star, right?

Kong Aichun muttered, but still forced a smile and pointed to the opposite door: "Come on, come on, Xiao Su is over there, in the hardware store."

It was raining, and there were fewer people on the street.

There were even fewer people buying steamed buns at this time.

Lao Liao saw the woman walking towards the hardware store, and he looked at Kong Aichun, and the two walked over with umbrellas.

Su Chen heard the footsteps, raised his eyes to glance at the woman, squinted slightly, and three pictures were imprinted in his mind.

It was... quite amazing.

They were all colorful, and they were very fancy, which made people unable to bear to look directly at them.
