Back in Jiangcheng County, it was the end of August 1983.

Perhaps most ordinary people feel nothing, but some special groups have begun to feel the turmoil. Tang Shu believes that in a few days, Jiangcheng County, which is still experiencing calm and calm, will be baptized like a storm.

After coming back, Tang Shu's life didn't seem to have changed much. He still pushed his bicycle out to sell popsicles every day during the hottest time. At night, he met Shao Xianjun and went to the cold storage of the county meat factory to make popsicles.

The teacher is the snail girl in the family, and without him having to do anything, every corner of the courtyard has been cleaned and kept neatly organized. Compared to the courtyard that looked like a doghouse before, it now looks much fresher and warmer.

It's just that Tang Shu seemed to be a little absent-minded every time he went out of the stall. He always looked around him from time to time, as if he was on guard against someone suddenly rushing out to trouble him. When he confirmed that everything around him was normal, he felt a little disappointed.

Isn't that old boy Li Sande afraid to come to the county town to look for him? If he doesn't dare to come, there will be no chance of him succeeding.

As time passed, three more days passed safely. The calendar on the wall showed that it was August 31st. Tang Shu called his two sisters to get in the car early in the morning. He planned to help them before they reported to school.

They bought all the stationery they needed.

The three of them walked and looked at the people's shopping mall in Jiangcheng County. They bought a lot of schoolbags, pens, and pencil cases. Perhaps it was because later generations were used to using large amounts of currency. Tang Shu really couldn't stand the sales for a few cents.

The prices were high, and they bought things without restraint. At the end of the shopping, the two sisters, who were still happy at first, became a little frightened. They all pulled the eldest brother's arm and stopped him from pointing to any product.

"Brother, you spent all the money today, what shall we eat tomorrow?" After a rough calculation, Tang Shu has spent more than thirty yuan, which is more than two months of living expenses for three people. Of course, the sisters who have known the head of the family since they were young feel distressed.

.

Naturally, they didn't know that it was the peak season for popsicles, and Tang Shu's daily income was very considerable, at least not so poor that he had to worry about where his next meal would be.

Under the force of the two of them, Tang Shu still bought a pair of pull-back shoes for each of them, and then pinched Tang Qing's already angry face: "Let's go to the snack bar to eat shredded pork noodles."

The three of them went down the stairs and passed by the clothing counter on the first floor of the shopping mall. Tang Qing and Tang Yu grabbed Tang Shu at the same time.

Tang Shu was stunned for a moment, then shook his fingers at them: "I'm not allowed to buy anything upstairs. It turns out I'm interested in the new clothes downstairs."

It seems that it is the nature of girls to love beauty, no matter what generation or age they are.

Tang Qing didn't give any explanation, but quietly pushed her sister's arm. Tang Yu had always had a childish temperament, and for her, this time, it just released her nature, which can be regarded as making the best use of everything.

If a person makes full use of his talents, he will die in his rightful place, Amitabha Buddha.

The younger Tang Yu was not as showy as her elder sister. Relying on her elder brother's usual love for her, she stepped forward and pointed at a green gauze scarf displayed on the counter: "Brother, do you think that gauze scarf looks good?"

? How about we buy it and give it to Teacher Xia?"

"Giving it to Teacher Xia? I thought you wanted to buy clothes for yourself." Tang Shu didn't understand. Is it so easy to establish friendship between women? They had only known each other for less than half a month.

Already so close?

"Well...Teacher Xia has been helping us with our homework during this period. We want to thank her properly, but my sister and I have no money, so just treat it as if we borrowed it from you and promise to pay you back in the future. Isn't that okay?"

"You know how to give gifts at a young age to please people?" Tang Shu smiled bitterly. Who said that children in the 1980s were pure and flawless? His two cousins ​​were very clever. "Since it is a gift, how can you prepare only one?

What about human beings? Teacher Gu has helped you a lot, so how can you miss out on her?"

Tang Shu felt that since he wanted to give gifts as a thank you, he couldn't favor one over the other. He walked to the counter and bought two gauze scarves directly. The green one was for Xia Yan, and the purple one just suited Gu Manzhi's temperament.

He was checking out and paying at the front, and naturally he couldn't see the two little girls gathering behind him and whispering. Their little expressions seemed to be blaming his elder brother, as if he hated iron but couldn't make steel.

After eating shredded pork noodles at noon, we went to the park in the town in the afternoon. Until the evening, the three brothers and sisters were still not satisfied, walking in the afterglow of the setting sun, walking towards the small alley in the dormitory area of ​​the agricultural tool factory. They had just left.

After passing the corner, there was the gate of his small courtyard in front of him. A black figure suddenly rushed out from the corner and blocked directly in front of Tang Shu.

Tang Shu pulled Tang Qing and Tang Yu and subconsciously wanted to retreat. When he turned around, he found that the back road had been blocked by two other people. In the dark alley, a burly middle-aged man with a short haircut walked slowly.

came out.

The moment he saw the two sisters Tang Qing, Li Sande's eyes showed a bit of amusement, and the corners of his mouth raised slightly, revealing a somewhat terrifying chuckle: "I said, why don't you two sisters stay in Xinmin Village? It turns out

Came here."

Tang Shu had a cold face and protected his sisters behind him. He looked like Li Sande with a hint of fear: "I'm warning you not to act recklessly. This is a county town, not as good as Xinmin Village."

"Don't worry, I'm here to collect debts. I still have sense of propriety. I just want to know where you live." Li Sande did not do anything excessive. "It's just that I heard that you quit your job in the city.

I'm really worried. If you lose your salary and don't plan to pay back the money, I won't go around looking for you."

Tang Shu gritted his teeth. He didn't know whether it was because of the excessive heat or nervousness. Sweat started to flow down his cheeks: "You also said that I have no income now, and I can't get enough money to pay you back. Can I?"

If I can't delay for a few days, think about it, if I are pushed into a hurry and I take my sister and leave Jiangcheng County, you won't get a penny back."

"It makes sense." Li Sande agreed with Tang Shu's words. He lent Wang Daohong's money piece by piece in real money. Although the money was just a formality on the gambling table, it all came back. Li Sande could

I don’t want to see my work in vain, “But you also have to give me some guarantee and let me know that you can pay me back, right?”

He pointed at the small courtyard behind him: "This is your home, can you take us in to have a look, just to recognize the door?"

Tang Shu didn't want to disturb Xia Yan and Gu Manzhi who lived at home, and was just about to make a fool of himself to stabilize Li Sande. Who could have expected that with a "squeak", the courtyard door suddenly opened.

The first person to come out was Shao Xianjun. At this time, he was carrying a wooden stick and looked a bit manly. He firmly protected Xia Yan behind him and shouted at Li Sande and the others: "Don't do this nonsense. I have notified the police station."

Now, you'd better leave as soon as possible."

The courtyard door was blocked by Shao Xianjun, and Xia Yan inside could not get out. She could only issue a warning inside the door: "In broad daylight, robbery has come to our door. Do you still have a people's government in your eyes?"

Seeing that there were outsiders in the yard, Li Sande did not force his way in. After all, this was not his territory. If there were police around, and they were charged with breaking into a famous house, they would have to spend two days in the detention center.

"Okay, since we are not welcome, we won't go in today. But Tang Shu, please remember this. If your second uncle's debt is delayed any longer, I don't know what I will do.

Come. I heard that you rented a piece of land in the village a few days ago. How about I go there to visit?"

"No, no, no, no, it's useless for you to look for my second uncle. He has no money." Tang Shu gritted his teeth, but he had to make a promise, "In just these two days, at the beginning of next month at the latest, I will

I’ll give you back everything I’ve owned with interest.”
