Chapter 173 Neighbors

"Ouch!"

Li Wen walked into the room to look for a broom. Suddenly there was a thud in the yard, followed by a child's moans.

"What are you doing? Where did you come from?" When Li Wen walked to the yard, he saw a seven or eight-year-old boy lying in the yard, moaning non-stop.

"Brother, please don't hit my brother, we will never steal your dates again." Li Wen saw a little girl of four or five years old sitting on the wall, crying.

"Okay, don't cry. If I didn't beat your brother, how did you climb up the wall?" Li Wen asked with a smile when he saw the little girl sitting on the wall more than three meters high.

"We climbed up secretly from the ladder. No one picked your dates, so they fell to the ground. My brother came to pick them because I was greedy. Please, don't hit him." The little guy said pitifully.

"Where is your family? Your brother fell from the wall and was injured. Call your parents out quickly." Li Wen looked at the boy who was holding his leg and wailing. He probably sprained his foot or broke his leg.

"Mom! My brother fell from the wall and fell." The little girl shouted towards the yard, and then started to cry.

"Niuniu, what's wrong with your brother?" Li Wen heard the voices of adult men and women coming from the yard next door, and then Li Wen saw a man in his thirties appearing on the wall.

"Amao, what's wrong with you?" As he said this, the man wanted to climb over the wall.

"Hey! Brother, please stop climbing on the wall and come through the gate." Li Wen quickly dissuaded him.

"I'm sorry, comrade, I was panicked for a moment." Only then did the man see Li Wen under the eaves.

According to local custom, it is taboo to climb over the wall in front of the owner of the house. [Good guy, if you climb over the wall in front of me, you will not be able to climb over the wall again in the future.]

Not long after, the couple pushed open the door and walked into the yard. The man hurriedly smoked when he saw Li Wen, and the woman went to see the child.

"Little brother, are you the new resident here? I'm sorry that the kid is greedy when he sees no one picking the jujubes in the yard!" The man smiled and handed Li Wen a cigarette.

"It's okay, it's a little kid! Brother, let's see if the kid is okay first." Li Wen took the cigarette and clamped it to his ear, and walked towards the little boy with a smile.

"How is Rapeseed? Is Amao okay?" The man walked quickly to the front and asked his wife.

"Okay, I just crooked my feet. I was afraid that the master would hit him for pretending!" The woman picked up her son and patted him twice on the buttocks.

"Sister-in-law, as long as the child is fine, don't hit him. This wall is not low, so you should take the child for a checkup!" Li Wen said with a smile.

Before Li Wen finished speaking, the little boy broke free from his mother's arm and ran away limping.

"Good guy!"

Li Wen said in his heart, "Good guy, the children of this era are as skinny as when he was a child in his previous life."

As soon as the child ran away, the man and his wife were instantly embarrassed!

"Haha! This guy is so tough, it's okay." Li Wen laughed to ease the embarrassment.

"Little brother, I just forgot what to call her. I live next door to you. My name is Li Hongbin, and this is my wife Rapeseed." The man said with a smile.

"Brother Li is from the same family! My name is Li Wen, and I just rented a house from Sister Tao. I was just about to clean the yard, and your little guy couldn't wait to come over and get to know me." Li Wen said with a chuckle.

"Haha! Little brother, you are so funny." Rape on the side chuckled.

"Your name is Niuniu, right? Come in quickly, don't be afraid." Li Wen smiled and waved to the little girl who was peeking at the door.

"Come in, Niuniu!" Li Hongbin shouted to his daughter at the door.

"It's all because of this girl's greed!" Li Hongbin picked up his daughter and tapped the little girl's forehead with his finger.

"It's normal for children to be greedy. If I didn't rent this yard, all these dates would fall to the ground and go to waste. Brother Li, please give these dates back to your children!" Li Wen pointed to the jujube trees in the yard and the dates that fell on the ground.

.

The jujube tree in Tao Hong's yard is not big, only about the thickness of two fingers. Li Wen estimated that there are only about two kilograms of jujubes left on the tree. Most of them have fallen to the ground, and they are probably all bad.

"How can this be okay? You can keep the ones on the tree for yourself, and I can pick up some good ones on the ground for my children." Li Hongbin waved his hands repeatedly.

"Brother Li, you're welcome. It's too troublesome for me to beat dates myself. There's still a lot of work waiting in the yard!" Li Wen told the couple not to refuse.

"Brother Xiaowen, let's do this! Your eldest brother and I will help you sweep the yard, and these dates will belong to us. Anyway, we have to sweep the yard when harvesting dates." Rapeseed said.

"How can this be done? It's just a few dates, how can I let you work!" Li Wen quickly refused.

"Brother, your sister-in-law and I usually do odd jobs in the labor market. We clean people's houses and carry things, and we only earn a few cents a day."

"There are still several kilograms of dates on your tree, which are worth two or three cents! Don't refuse this incidental matter," Li Hongbin said with a smile.

"How can this be so embarrassing!"

"In this way, since Brother Li, you and your sister-in-law usually do this job, I will take care of all the sanitation in the yard for you!"

"How about I give you another dollar to clean the entire yard and room?" Li Wen said with a smile.

"Really? Brother, please give us the job of cleaning the yard." Rapeseed's eyes suddenly lit up.

Li Wen smiled and nodded.

"Okay, your brother Li and I will take this job, but one dollar is too high, so you can just give me fifty cents." Rapeseed said happily.

"Here, I gave you fifty cents too much, and we still picked several kilograms of jujubes for you!" Li Hongbin was also very happy to have become a single person. The couple had no jobs, so they could only do odd jobs and contact the village.

OEM for you.

The economy has been in recession in the past few years, and all the family's savings have been spent. The family of ten is really worried about everything they have to eat.

"Brother Li, I'll just give you a piece of wallet and I won't care. You can pack it up for me after get off work tomorrow. How about it?" Li Wen didn't discuss the price with Li Hongbin and his wife, and threw the key directly to Li Hongbin.

"Okay! Since I trust me, I will definitely make your money worth it." Li Hongbin took the key and smiled.

"Okay, that's it. Brother Li, sister-in-law, I'll leave first. See you tomorrow." Li Wen pinched the little girl's cheek and pushed the bicycle out of the yard.

"Oh! I have met a good person." Li Hongbin looked at Li Wen's retreating back and sighed.

"Rape, please call all the boys at home. Let's clean the yard first and beat the dates. Let's all try them tonight." Li Hongbin looked at the attractive red dates on the tree and was also greedy.

"Okay, boss!" Rapeseed happily left the yard.

After leaving the village, Li Wen picked up two large carps weighing four to five kilograms from the space and rode his bicycle towards Sun Lian Yingying.

Two big carps, a brand-new bicycle, and a handsome young man attracted the attention of many girls and wives along the way.

"Building a party, what are you doing at the door?" As soon as Li Wen walked to the door, he saw Mr. Sun Lian and four or five younger guys discussing something at the door.

"Brother Xiao Wen, we are discussing your novel! Oh my god, the big carp." Sun Jiandang first saw Li Wen, and then he saw two big carp hanging on the front of the car.

Sun Jiandang hurriedly ran to Li Wen's bicycle. The other four or five little guys also looked at the big carp and swallowed their saliva. It took a while before they gave up their delusions.

"Are you Comrade Nuanyang?" One of the girls spoke first, and the other children also looked at Li Wen with admiration.

"Children, I am the warm sunshine in spring. What can I do for you?" Li Wen said hello with a smile.

"We really like your novel. Can you sign it for us? Just put it in the notebook." The little girl looked eager.

"Of course!" Li Wen smiled and took the pencil and notebook from the little girl's hand.

After signing several names and writing blessings, Li Wen answered a few more questions before sending them away.

"Go home and raise the threshold for party establishment!" Li Wen said with a smile to Sun Jiandang, who was staring at the carp.

"oh!"

"oh!"
