Chapter 144: 5 Years Old Added to the Two of Them Is Too Many (Completed)
"Yo, I'm back!"
Fang Meng heard the noise, turned around, straightened up and smiled at the person at the door.
His appearance lacked some of his usual nonchalant and ruffian look. At the same time, he subconsciously reached behind him and hooked his hands around the girl's legs to prevent her from sliding down. There was a rare ease and joy in his eyes. There was an obvious small tooth mark on his red cheek, but he didn't care at all.
Anyone can see that Fang Meng is in a very good mood, a particularly good mood.
Even Eugene, who was closest to him among the educated youth, had never seen his brother Meng laugh so happily and sincerely.
Eugene stared at Fang Meng blankly, and suddenly he thought of a sentence he had heard before: When a person devotes all his preferences to only one person, it is really obvious.
Yeah, it's really obvious!
In the past, Eugene always felt that there was a very thick wall between his brother Meng and the entire educated youth compound, and even the entire Qishui Brigade, making him seem isolated and out of place.
But now, he suddenly felt that his brother seemed to have suddenly integrated into the situation and became much more real.
It’s because there is one more person whom he prefers.
Really, it's so obvious!
"Ah, you're back!"
Bai Nuo smiled and waved to his friends outside the door. The big hole on the shoulder of his coat became more obvious with the waving.
The people outside the door looked at the two in the room speechlessly.
These days, the separation between men and women is very strict, but this is at home and there are no outsiders. Apart from the two parties in the room, the people standing at the door are all good friends. The two in the room have been friends since childhood, so naturally no one said anything.
That's right...
Sun Yuxi, Xie Weidong and others looked at the messy room and the two messy people and were really speechless.
Why are these two people so careless in their quarrel? The coat is torn into pieces, the little girl's hair is messy, her face is red and white from being pinched, and her little ears are also red.
Fang Meng was even worse off. There was a red patch on his face and a small tooth mark. If you looked closely, there was a little bruise on his left eye socket.
"No, are you two... so cruel to each other?"
After the two people separated, they each sat on a small stool at the door, and Sun Yuxi and Xie Weidong were responsible for applying medicine to one person each.
The more I think about it, the more I feel that this is really off the mark!
I've never seen anyone play like this!
Bai Nuo said confidently: "Don't blame me!"
Fang Meng was unconvinced: "You were the first one to do it!"
Bai Nuo raised his little fist: "You pissed me off first!"
Fang Meng rolled his eyes: "You started it!"
Bai Nuo raised his voice: "You said I was short!"
Fang Meng intensified his momentum: "You were the first one to start!"
Bai Nuo gritted his teeth: "I will fight you!"
Fang Meng curled his lips: "I'm not afraid of you!"
"Stop it, both of you!"
Xie Weidong grabbed Fang Meng back. Now he was no longer afraid of this guy and reached out to grab the other person's collar.
"Be honest with me!"
At the same time, Sun Yuxi put his arms around the little girl's shoulders and pressed her into his arms.
"To say you two are five years old combined is too much for me!"
Qin Xuehua walked out of Bai Nuo's house, holding two cups in her hands, and handed one to each of them.
"It's time to calm down, Fang Meng. You've been in the countryside for more than half a year. This is the first time I know you can still be... so lively." Qin Xuehua was at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Chao Xianhua and Eugene walked out of Fang Meng's house, one holding a broom and the other holding a mop. It was obvious that they were going in to help clean up the mess.
"These two guys are really too much. The aluminum basin is leaking, and there is water all over the floor. Two of the wooden sticks are broken, and there are several pieces of rags that are all threadbare." Chao Xianhua said with a look of both laughter and tears.
Eugene, who was standing behind him, was holding an enamel basin with a big hole in it. He looked numb and said, "There's another basin with a big hole in it. I found it on the top shelf."
"Oh!" Xie Weidong sighed lightly, pinched his eyebrows, and couldn't help laughing again.
When these new educated youth first arrived, he had a headache and thought that the educated youth compound would be messy and bustling in the future.
It’s really lively now, but…
Xie Weidong looked up at the two cross-eyed childish guys, then looked up at the people around him and smiled gently.
It’s certainly very lively, but this feeling… isn’t bad.
These days are much more interesting than before. Life is more interesting and there is hope.
He didn't expect that the stagnant days before could actually come alive.
When you think about it this way, having a little headache is also good!
Although he had a fight with Fang Dadun across the street in the evening, it did not affect Bai Nuo's good mood at all.
Because... she has grown taller, hahahaha!
Bai Nuo returned to his room, crossed his legs, put his hands on his hips, and finally couldn't help but threw his head back and laughed: "Hahahahahahaha!"
"boom!"
"Is the little girl crazy?"
Fang Meng stood outside the door speechlessly, raised his fist and pounded on it.
"what?"
Bai Nuo opened the door with a "bang", and looked at the person outside with dissatisfaction on his face, but the smile in his eyes did not diminish at all, which showed that he was really happy.
Fang Meng looked at the little girl in front of him with amusement. The smile made the corner of his mouth hurt. He sucked in a breath and glared at the little girl with gritted teeth: "You little bitch, you're so ruthless. Look at the way you hit your brother's face. It's been disfigured."
"Tsk, you don't need to rely on your looks to make a living, why keep it!" Bai Nuo rolled his eyes righteously.
In retaliation, Fang Meng put both hands on the little girl's head and started rubbing it.
"Ahhh, you stinky Fang Meng, you big fat guy, stop it, stop it, I'm going to be bald, I'm going to be bald!" Bai Nuo was so angry that he raised his little fist and smashed forward with his eyes closed.
"I was wrong, I was wrong, I was wrong. I won't dare to do it again, I won't dare to do it again!" Fang Meng quickly let go of the little head and held the little girl's hands at the same time.
"Okay, okay, I can't afford to offend you, so I'll bring you something." Fang Meng pulled the little girl into the house, then took out a passbook from his pocket and handed it to her.
"What for?" Bai Nuo took it subconsciously, opened it, and his expression became even more confused.
Fang Meng turned his head to glance outside the door. It was completely dark outside, and the doors and windows of the neighboring houses were all closed. A little light from the kerosene lamp came through the house. The moment his mental power expanded outward, he was sure that no one was watching them. He quickly closed the front door of Bai Nuo's house, and then pulled the little girl into the inner room.
Fang Meng looked at the kang, which was covered with two layers of thick and soft quilts. There was a large pillow against the wall, and two pillows of different shapes next to it. There was also a reed curtain wrapped in floral cloth hanging on the wall. Warmth and comfort were everywhere.
Fang Meng raised his eyebrows slightly: "You have made this room quite comfortable."
Bai Nuo raised his chin proudly: "Of course, I can wrong anyone but not myself."
"That's right!" Fang Meng smiled and nodded.
Bai Nuo smiled, pulled Fang Meng over and walked to the chair in front of the desk and sat down. He turned around and sat on the edge of the kang, shaking the passbook in his hand.
"What are you doing?"
Fang Meng pointed at his passbook. "I joined the army at the age of fifteen. My first year, I only received a six-yuan allowance per month. My second year, I was promoted to platoon leader, with a monthly allowance of 57 yuan. My third year, I was promoted to company commander, with a monthly allowance of 80 yuan. At the end of last year, I was promoted to battalion commander. Now my monthly allowance is 101 yuan. Apart from occasional food and drink and some donations to fallen comrades whose families are in financial difficulty, it all goes here."
Bai Nuo looked at the number on the passbook, 1796 yuan, and blinked: "You've only spent more than 200 yuan in the past three years?"
Is it so cost-effective?
"Heh!" Fang Meng chuckled, looking at the little girl speechlessly. His slender fingers tapped the passbook, "There's still over a hundred yuan in here. It's the money I spent on gifts for a little girl in Beijing two years ago."
"Hehe!" Bai Nuo hugged the passbook tightly with a smile, looking at Fang Meng in a whining voice, "What are you talking about? We are just friends, why do we have to be so clear about it?"
"Tsk, you little heartless person!" Fang Meng rolled his eyes and continued, "Keep this passbook. Buy whatever you want in the future. Don't be stingy with the money. There will be money every month, so you don't have to worry about spending it all. I've transferred this passbook to the post office savings bank here, so you can withdraw money here."
Bai Nuo was confused again, looking at Fang Meng in confusion: "Why are you giving me money all of a sudden? I have money."
Thinking of this, Bai Nuo suddenly became proud. She was much richer than Fang Dadun.
"You have money but you still wear gray clothes, and you take the risk of cooperating with others to sell goods on the black market? Don't worry so much at such a young age. You don't have to worry about money. Just be happy every day." Fang Meng stood up after he finished speaking. He came here with the passbook not to discuss anything, but just to inform the little girl.
"Then what are you going to do?" Bai Nuo looked at Fang Meng in confusion, holding the passbook.
"Don't worry, this is not the only passbook I have. Even if I have no money left, I can still rely on my parents." Fang Meng turned his head and raised his eyebrows at the little girl, smiling like a rogue.
"But Jing City is quite far from here, so it's not convenient to eat!"
Bai Nuo thought Fang Meng was talking about Fang's grandfather, or asking Uncle Fang for money. After all, he had done this many times before, and he often took her with him to get double the amount. Bai Nuo was very skilled in this business.
"I don't need them for the time being. It's not convenient in Beijing, and I'm too lazy to contact my dad." Fang Meng didn't feel ashamed at all about relying on his parents for support, and he spoke very openly about it.
Bai Nuo: "So what you are saying is..."
Fang Meng: "Don't we have a great uncle in the county? If I don't eat him, it's a waste. If I run out of money one day and go there to get a bite to eat, he can't kick me out. That black market boss is not doing it for nothing."
Bai Nuo nodded in understanding: "That's true!"
These two unreasonable people don't think there is anything wrong with their behavior or words. Instead, they are more self-righteous than the other.
Moreover, when Bai Nuo was young, she often followed Fang Meng to the Fang family to cheat money. Now that Fang Meng plans to rely on her own great uncle, she doesn't think there is anything wrong with it.
In the final analysis, it was just two little rascals who colluded with each other, and the only ones who got hurt were some elders in the family who were easy to bully.
"Okay, go to bed early. I won't be going out recently. I'll call you for breakfast tomorrow morning." Fang Meng raised his hand to smooth the little girl's hair, turned around and walked out with his long legs.
However, just as he walked out of the curtain of the inner room, he suddenly stopped. Fang Meng then remembered something and turned around and stretched out his hand to Bai Nuo.
"Give me five dollars first. My pockets are cleaner than my face right now. I feel a little insecure!"
"Oh!"
Bai Nuo nodded obediently, stood up and put the passbook on the kang, then turned around to get his small cross-body bag.
Every day when the small system packs her bag, it will also check her wallet. If the money in it is almost spent, it will put five dollars in it as pocket money. Now there are exactly five dollars in it.
"Here, do you want the ticket?" Bai Nuo handed over the money.
"Oh, yes, there are still bills!" Fang Meng thought of the small box of bills in his room and asked, "I still have quite a few bills there. I'll bring them over so you can pick out what's missing."
"No, no need!" Bai Nuo hurriedly stopped this guy. She also reacted now.
It turns out that this guy saw me cooperating with others to supply goods to the black market during the day and thought I was short of money.
"I have all the tickets. I exchanged a lot of tickets for the things I sold today. I basically have all of them. I'll keep yours."
Seeing that the girl's tone was genuine and not forced, Fang Meng nodded and said, "Okay, but I don't need so many coupons. I'm an educated youth here now, and the coupons issued by the army are sent to me every month. I use them every month. There's no need to save them for your brother. I'll pick out the cloth coupons, sugar coupons, and daily necessities coupons for you to use later."
Bai Nuo did not refuse again. She knew that Fang Meng was not someone who would let himself be wronged. Since he gave it to her, it meant that he really didn't care whether he had those things or not. So she nodded.
"Second brother, have you been here all the time?" Bai Nuo looked up at Fang Meng with a serious expression.
Fang Meng smiled and rubbed the little girl's head: "I don't know when that will be, but don't worry, this time, Second Brother won't leave you to outsiders to take care of."
There are many people watching Brother Bai, so it is not convenient for him to bring his sister with him. But he is not afraid. It doesn’t matter if the regiment commander disagrees.
He can be shameless, at worst he can just hug the regiment commander's thigh and cry, then he won't believe it, and he still can't get a place to accompany the army.
Fang Meng glanced at the little girl's smooth white forehead, and a hint of cruelty flashed in his eyes.
Anyway, I will never leave this little girl to be taken care of by outsiders again.
