"Did you steal your friend's money?"
The old man looked impatient: "No, no, if he stole from your friend, he should have guessed that it was you who stole the money by now. He should have called the police and let the police arrest you."
"Could it be that you all went to steal the money together? You said that your friend made a lot of money because he set up a money-stealing gang in the city?"
The old man Yan was so excited that his tears were about to flow down. If he knew that his son was good enough to steal money, he shouldn't have allowed him to leave the village, even if his legs were broken, he would have kept him .
It's no wonder that everyone in the family thinks wrongly, it's because Yuanzheng's character is too bad to be trusted.
Now Yan Chu took out a thick wad of money and put it on the table, it seems to be at least three or four hundred. The Yan family has saved for many years to rebuild Yan Chu's house, and the money for marrying a wife is only that much.
He just went to the city to stay for 20 days. Excluding the time of going back and forth, it might only be about 16 or 17 days. Apart from stealing and robbing, the Yan family couldn't guess how Yan Chu could get money so quickly.
No one thought that the money might have been won by him from gambling. People who came to places like casinos only heard that they lost their fortunes, but they had never heard of anyone who could win that much money. If Yan Chu had that ability, he would There will be no debt collection by the casino.
"Hurry up and surrender. The police came to publicize before. Didn't they say that surrendering can reduce your sentence? Dad will accompany you. It's because Dad didn't teach you well. If you go to jail, Dad will sit with you. When we come out, we will correct our mistakes. Be a human again."
The old man trembled and wanted to take back the money. These were all stolen money, and they would be returned to the owner at that time.
After hearing the old man's analysis, the old lady burst into tears. Her youngest son is going to go to jail, and the sky is going to collapse.
What is rehabilitating, what is a new life
Yan Chu felt that his brain skills were still a bit weak, that is, the times had not caught up, and his parents in this world should be screenwriters. This brain circuit is too clear.
Seeing that he was really going to be taken to the Public Security Bureau without explaining, Yan Chu had no choice but to explain in detail how he made his money, and found a reasonable excuse for the money to go out.
He didn't say in detail how much money he earned, and the part that he took out now was the amount that the original body lost at the time, and the money should be returned to the old man and his eldest brother and sister-in-law's family in place of the original body.
He had no share of the money the family earned before, and the old couple was getting older, so it can be said that most of the three hundred yuan was earned by elder brother Yan Aiguo and sister-in-law Jiang Dani.
Although the customs here are all like this, the money earned by the parents is used for the marriage of the eldest son, and after the eldest son gets married, he helps his parents earn money for the marriage of his younger siblings, but Yan Chu is not the original body after all, so he is embarrassed to accept his brother's marriage with peace of mind. sister-in-law's money.
Especially the sister-in-law, she should still have this matter in her heart. If the original body of more than three hundred yuan was really used to marry a wife, she might not necessarily think about it, but these hard-earned money were easily taken away by my brother-in-law. Lost at the gambling table, this makes people feel a little aggrieved.
I always feel that I have been working as a cow and a horse for several years, doing white labor for the landlord, as if I have not earned anything.
Yan Chu thought, he paid back the money, regardless of whether the money is in the hands of the old lady or the sister-in-law, it will settle the previous entanglement anyway, so that in the future, no one will be able to say that he owes the eldest brother's family anything .
"You said you can make so much money selling meat buns?"
The old man's eyes were full of suspicion, and he maintained a distrustful attitude towards his son's words.
Every household knows how to make steamed stuffed buns, but few households make meat buns.
The white flour is delicious. People in the village are reluctant to part with fine grains, especially the meat stuffing in the meat buns. Usually, only when the pork is divided among the teams during the Chinese New Year, everyone is willing to steam one or two cages of meat buns to satisfy their hunger. This is still stuffing. When a lot of cabbage is added to the ingredients, pure meat stuffing is rare, and I am reluctant to make it on weekdays.
I can't bear to spend food to make this stuff, so who else is willing to spend money to buy it
I'm afraid I'm not being taken advantage of
The old man has also seen the world, and he knows that those things sold outside must be cost-effective to make by himself, just like the restaurants in the town also sell steamed buns, but the villagers will not buy them when they go to the town market.
If anyone eats in a restaurant, other people in the village will say that they don't care about their family and can't keep their money, and they will be despised.
Therefore, in Old Man Yan's opinion, the business of those restaurants is probably not good, because there will be no fools going there to spend a lot of money to buy food, but now his son says that he earned more than 300 yuan from selling steamed buns , the old man's first reaction was to not believe it.
"Dad, I really earned it by selling steamed buns. Do you know the No. 1 state-owned factory in the city? The workers and apprentices there also earn more than 30 yuan a month's salary, and the salaries of senior workers are more than a hundred. They have money. What's the point of eating meat buns, there are meat and fish in every meal at home, so life is nourishing."
Yan Chu knew that the image of the original body made it difficult for everyone to trust his words, so he could only explain it again patiently.
"Besides, how powerful the police are. If I really stole money, I can return home safely. No one will arrest me now?"
As soon as Yan Chu finished speaking, the villagers shouted from outside the house.
"Second Yan, the police are looking for you."
With a plop, the old man rolled his eyes and fell to the ground, fainted from shock.
*****
"Just say how could my son steal money? You old man doesn't want to do anything to your son every day, so you know you have wronged our son."
Yan loves the country, and Mrs. Yan helped the old man recite, and then complained.
After waking up and knowing the cause and effect, the old man Yan was also a little guilty, but as an old man, he couldn't apologize to his son, so he could only keep his mouth shut, but he held the money tightly in his hand, and the smile in his eyes almost overflowed.
All this is thanks to the police who came suddenly at night.
Those police officers came here to send bonuses to Yan Chu. Before, they just came to hand out pennants. Now that the gang of human traffickers has been taken over, the bonuses should naturally be sent over.
Fifty yuan is not much for Yan Chu now, but for the villagers, it is equivalent to a year's income of a strong laborer when he was earning work points. luck.
Old man Yan just fainted in a moment of impatience, and soon woke up. When everyone was in high spirits, he secretly grabbed a dignified policeman and asked him.
Yan Chu helped the police arrest a member of a human trafficker gang. If one day he committed a crime, would he have a chance to have his sentence reduced.
With the level of the old man, how could he fight with the police who are doing criminal investigation
Coincidentally, this policeman happened to be the one who had eaten Pan'an buns, a meat bun sent by his daughter who worked in the city. Guess that Yan Chu is the one who sells buns at the No. 1 state-owned factory.
His daughter said that the steamed stuffed bun seller was a bit headstrong, and went home to rest after earning enough money to pat his ass, and said that he would sell steamed stuffed buns someday when the money ran out. This time coincided with Yan Chu's return to the village. .
Pity those people who have tasted the taste of meat buns and their stomachs have been hooked. After only two or three days of work, they are already eager to see through, but they can't find a person who sells buns. I hope that he will spend more money. , Spend the money early, and then come to the factory to sell steamed stuffed buns.
The police helped to explain, and the old man Yan naturally let go of his heart. Although he still thinks that the people in this city are stupid, his son has never worked since he was a child, and he only came into contact with the stove after the separation. , what kind of buns can you make
Anyway, Yan Chu's money came from an innocent source, and the whole family's heart can be put in their stomachs.
"Little brother, is it really so easy for people in this city to earn money?"
Jiang Dani was a little jealous of the money earned by her uncle, but of course she wasn't so blinded as to keep the money as her own. After all, the family had already been separated, and the finances had to be separated.
"I can't tell. There are quite a lot of food stalls outside the state-owned No. 1 factory, but many of them are not doing well. Only a few can survive."
Yan Chu would not recommend her sister-in-law's craftsmanship to set up a food stall. Nowadays, people's consumption awareness is relatively frugal. It doesn't taste good or is novel enough, so they are not willing to spend money on it, even if the family is very rich. The same is true of people's consumption concepts.
The sister-in-law's handicrafts can be eaten by the family, but it is a bit reluctant to sell them.
But in another ten years, if my sister-in-law goes to those labor-intensive places to set up a stall to sell things, he still agrees. As long as the price is close enough to the people, even if the taste is just ordinary, the business will be booming.
Different eras have different considerations, so now that Jiang Dani asked Yan Chu this question, he didn't hesitate, so he poured cold water on his sister-in-law.
Jiang Dani was a little suspicious, thinking that the uncle was afraid that she would steal business from him
"Uncle, you have never made buns before, why did you suddenly think of this and earn so much money?"
Jiang Dani tentatively asked, it was a thick stack of ten yuan bills, and the chicken, duck, candy and cakes brought by the other party this trip, everything made Jiang Dani's heart a little eager to move.
This question was also curious to the old couple of the Yan family. Just now the policeman said that the business of his son’s steamed stuffed bun shop is doing very well, but now that his son doesn’t sell steamed stuffed buns when he returns to the village, many people complain about it.
They couldn't figure it out, the buns made by their son who hadn't been in the kitchen a few times, was enough to make people think about it for so long
Being stared at by several pairs of eyes, Yan Chu remained expressionless.
He opened his mouth calmly and spit out a word.
"Probably because of my good looks, people in that area call me Meat Bao Pan An."
Once this is said, there is nothing wrong with it.
Jiang Dani couldn't help but take a good look at her brother-in-law. She always felt that after not seeing her for a while, her brother-in-law seemed to grow better.
The original body was full of skinny before, no matter how good his appearance was, he had to lose a few points.
It's different now, there is a Yan Chu in his body, with both appearance and temperament, which makes this face even more handsome and attractive.
Jiang Dani glanced at her uncle, and then at her own man. It seemed that her wish to get rich would not come true.
*****
"Have you heard? The second son of the Yan family, that bastard has made a lot of money in the city?"
"I heard that, it is said that he earned dozens of dollars."
"More than that, at least I earned a hundred yuan. I didn't see the old couple in the Yan family walking with the wind, so they floated up all of a sudden."
There are no secrets in the small village, especially the old man Yan and the old lady Yan. Because of this unfulfilling son, they have been complained by the villagers all these years. Now that the other party is promising, they have to help their son to show off.
The most important thing is that his son is already twenty-three this year, and all the young people in the village at this age already have wives, and because of Yan Chu's reputation, no girl is willing to marry him so far.
The old couple of the Yan family also wanted to take this opportunity to make their son change in the hearts of the villagers, so that they could talk about marriage.
"You said, why would anyone buy the steamed buns made by Yan Lao Er?"
They couldn't even imagine that those old women who had been around the stove for decades didn't dare to say that their crafts could be sold for money. That bum who doesn't distinguish between five grains actually made a lot of money by making steamed buns. People are not feeling well.
"You don't know, do you?"
There was an old man who was well-informed, looked at the villagers who couldn't figure it out, and showed a smile that I could see through everything.
"Do you still remember the tofu Xishi who used to have a tofu stand in the town? There were several tofu stands in the town back then, but men liked to buy tofu from her, and many stingy women liked to go there to catch their men."
It was an old man who spoke, and the tofu Xishi he was talking about was now an old lady, and only the old man who was also at the same age remembered who he was talking about.
"Although Yan Laoer is a mess, he has a good appearance. When people buy his buns, are they for buns? No! It's his face. You don't know how much those big girls and daughter-in-laws in the city like it. He goes to buy buns from him every day just to see him more."
The old man's tone was very firm, as if he was there when Yan Chu sold the buns.
"Yan Er Er is good-looking, but is there really someone who buys steamed stuffed buns for his face?" Some villagers retorted.
"Hehe, then every time you went to buy tofu from Tofu Xi Shi, how dare you say that you went for the tofu?"
The old man who spoke said to the wrinkled old man with age spots all over his face. The nearby villagers who were listening to the gossip burst into laughter, but the old man was ashamed.
"Old Yan has already said that his son is called Meat Bao Pan An in the city, and he is already called Pan An. How much do you think those big girls and young wives like him?"
A group of old people sitting under the old elm tree basking in the sun were amazed. They didn't expect that Yan Laoer was spoiled because of his face, and now he made a lot of money with his face.
It's really a handsome face in success, and a handsome face in defeat.
"Since steamed stuffed buns are so easy to sell, why is Yan Er Er coming back?"
Some people also wondered, if you can earn a hundred dollars in half a month in the city, why come back? Earning more money is the real thing.
"You don't even think about it, what kind of virtue is this Yan Laoer? He can patiently sell buns for half a month. Spend all the money on hand, and then go to the city to sell buns."
"Hey, it's true that Yan Lao Er is right, he's motivated, but he's still lazy."
The villagers laughed, thinking that this was Yan's second son, which made people feel kind.
At the beginning, I heard that Yan Chu can also earn a lot of money, and the sense of distance is gone. The second-rater is still the second-rater, but now the second-rater makes people feel more reliable. At least what he loses is his own money, and he will never rush again. Others are gone.

"Xiao Chu, do you still eat chicken today? The old hen at the aunt's house is fat, and the stewed soup can't be more nourishing."
"Xiao Chu, do you still eat geese today? The geese raised by my aunt's family are very delicate. When the time comes, they will be cooked and sliced, and they will be delicious just dipped in soy sauce."
Yan Chu walked from the old house to his eldest brother's house, and many people greeted him along the way.
Now everyone in the village knows that he is rich and enjoys himself. Those chickens and ducks in the village who are reluctant to eat are all sold to Yan Chu.
The price of chicken at the buying station is one yuan per catty, and the free market can sell it for one yuan to one yuan three. Yan Chu buys chickens and ducks at the price of the free market, and selling them to him saves the time of going back and forth to town , so people in the village are very happy to do business with him.
People who used to sympathize with Yan Aiguo's family don't envy them so much now, who made Yan Lao Er lazy, the family doesn't fire when they have money, and the chickens and ducks they buy are all cleaned up by sister-in-law Jiang Dani, and even the whole family is touched Light, all those who have been fed recently have grown fat, and they are more energetic than others when working in the fields.
"No, I haven't finished eating the chicken I bought yesterday."
Yan Chu smiled and waved at the old ladies, promising that if he wanted to buy chickens, ducks and geese in the future, he would give priority to theirs.
"No wonder people can buy buns for that face."
After Yan Chu left, several aunts gathered together and murmured that Yan's second son was good-looking before, but not as good as he is now. Fa has any unreasonable thoughts about Yan Chu.
"Chu'er, you're here."
When Mrs. Yan saw her younger son approaching, she smiled like a chrysanthemum, and pulled him to introduce him to the strange old lady.
"This is my youngest son, the one that everyone in the city praises for making Pan An the meat."
The old lady Yan pulled her son to brag, and felt the strange old lady looking at her. Yan Chu probably knew the origin of this old lady.
The three of them sat in the main room and chatted for a while, mainly old man Yan chatting with the strange old lady, and then the strange old lady offered to leave. From the beginning to the end, the old lady Yan had a smile on her face.
"Chu'er, you are not young anymore. Now that your family has money, mom wants to settle your marriage. A man will become more stable when he has a wife. If you have children in the future, you can't be like this. Childish."
The family really had no money before, but now that the son has earned the money back by selling his face, the matter of marrying a wife should naturally be on the agenda.
This time Yan Chu got back more than 300 yuan, all of which she held in her own hands. It would cost a lot of money to buy gifts and banquets. She knew that her son must still have money in his hand, otherwise these days would not be as bad. Ah, take the fish to the old family.
But she can't control that much. Anyway, she has almost the same money as a daughter-in-law now. It's not easy to ask for money from her bastard son. It's just that he can give her more than 300 yuan this time. She felt like a dream.
"Mom, I'm still young."
Yan Chu didn't plan to get married, he planned to spend his whole life in this world easily and without worries.
"You're not young. Your brother was born at your age." Mrs. Yan glared at her son, wanting to have more children while she was young.
He sells steamed stuffed buns based on his face now, but when he gets older and his face becomes wrinkled, will those big girls and daughter-in-laws still be willing to buy his steamed stuffed buns
Of course, it is better to have a few children who look as good as him earlier. When he can't sell anymore, let the children be on top and pass on the name of the meat bun Pan An, so he doesn't have to worry about starving to death if he can't find a job.
The old lady has already thought about it for her son, and she has a good idea about this matter.
