Chapter 1184 The Four Young Masters of Flower Street
Qin Hao bowed deeply to Xie Tiancheng: "Uncle Xie, my mother said that the grace of saving my life cannot be expressed with just a few words of thanks. This bowl of braised pork with tofu is the only thing our family can afford now. When I have the ability in the future, I will repay you."
Xie Tiancheng was stunned at first, then he waved his hands repeatedly: "Alas, this child is not as serious as you said..."
Just then, a middle-aged man wearing black-framed glasses came into the yard.
"Thank you, Boss. This child is so young and knows how to repay kindness. It's rare. If you keep refusing, I'm afraid you'll hurt the child's heart."
"dad."
A chubby little boy called out to the man wearing glasses.
Xie Tiancheng was in a dilemma after hearing this. Finally, he took the bowl from Qin Hao and handed it to Xie Wanghe, saying, "Take it home and replace the bowl. Don't eat it secretly."
"Don't worry, Dad."
Before leaving, Xie Wanghe did not forget to make a face at Qin Hao, meaning: Look, it's finally in my mouth.
After Xie Wanghe brought the empty bowl back, Qin Hao took it and turned away.
Looking at Qin Hao's small back, Xie Tiancheng said to the man with glasses with some resentment.
"Teacher Shao, you know the situation of Guixiang's family. A woman with a child, all alone, may not even have meat once a month."
Shao Bingyi said seriously: "It is precisely because I understand Guixiang that I advise you to leave the things behind."
Xie Tiancheng was stunned by what he said, and Shao Bingyi continued to explain: "Think about it, ever since Old Qin left, those people in Old Qin's family were afraid that she would remarry, so they forced her to give the child to the second son. As a result, Guixiang broke off relations with the Qin family and raised the child by herself. Her character is stronger than many men."
"You saved her son today, but you refused to accept a bowl of braised pork with tofu. This will only make Guixiang think that you are pitying her. She is such a strong person. Isn't it like stabbing her in the heart by doing this?"
After hearing what Shao Bingyi said, Xie Tiancheng slapped his forehead and said, "Oh, Teacher Shao is really educated. I am just a rough man with a dull mind. How come he didn't think of this?"
"Alas, Lao Qin was such a good person, what a pity."
A man in a gray-blue shirt walked in from outside the yard.
"Dad, you're back."
"Oh, Yan Lin is off work?" Xie Tiancheng smiled at the other party.
Zhou Yanlin picked up his son Zhou Haikuo and said, "There are people watching over the store anyway, so I left work early to come and cook for them."
They chatted for a while and then went back to their rooms.
After returning home, Xie Tiancheng said to his son Xie Wanghe seriously: "From now on, don't bully Haozi, or I will break your legs."
Xie Wanghe's face was full of reluctance, but he could only nod. After all, his father was really cruel when he beat him.
……
In a blink of an eye, two days passed and Qin Hao also adapted to the life in Huajie. This small Jiangnan city with a slow pace of life has a unique charm that can soothe the soul.
"Haozi, hurry up and get up. Go wash up. I've prepared breakfast for you. It's on the table. After you finish eating, go to school. I'm going to the stall."
After Liang Guixiang finished speaking, she pushed a small cart and went out. Since she was laid off, she has been relying on this small cart to sell breakfast to support herself and her child. Her life is hard, but she is very content. As long as her son is by her side, she feels full of strength.
After Qin Hao simply washed up and had breakfast, he obediently put on his schoolbag and went out.
As soon as I walked out of the house, I heard a noise behind me.
"Xie Wanghe, stop right there, don't run."
"Hey, just run. You can't catch me."
"Hua Zi, I hope you guys will wait for me."
The "troublesome foursome" that I met in the yard last night passed by quickly and ran all the way.
When Qin Hao arrived at the classroom, Xie Wang and they had already had a huge fight in the classroom.
Qin Hao couldn't help but laugh. Being in the same class with these four funny guys, his elementary school life would definitely not be too boring.
"Why are you making so much noise? This is a school, not a vegetable market. Look at what you all look like, especially you, Xie Wanghe. I can hear your voice from downstairs. You're the only one with a loud voice, right?"
The teacher finished his lecture with a sullen face, and then started the class.
Xie Wanghe, who was called out, was delighted to receive the "privilege" of standing in class. Under the gloating gazes of Xia Fenghua and his three friends, Xie Wanghe stood until the end of the get out of class.
"You just have a loud voice, right?"
"I can hear you from downstairs."
Xie Wanghe was furious and immediately settled accounts with the three people: "You are gloating over other people's misfortunes, right? Wait and see how I deal with you!"
During the fight between several people, Shao Xingchi was pushed and lost his balance, bumping into Qin Hao's desk.
The desk was knocked over directly, but Qin Hao didn't care much. He picked up the fallen textbooks and straightened the desk again. However, his deskmate Sun Sanliang was not happy and pushed Shao Xingchi down.
Shao Xingchi had never suffered such a loss before, so he immediately started fighting with the other party.
Sun Sanliang was no match for Shao Xingchi and was soon beaten into tears.
"If you four beat me up, I'm going to tell the teacher."
"San Liangzi, we are here to stop the fight. If you have the guts, go ahead and sue us. Let's see if the teacher will believe you or the four of us."
As a result, Sanliangzi quickly invited the class teacher.
The head teacher called the four people to the corridor with a gloomy face: "It's you guys again. You feel uncomfortable if you don't cause trouble, right?"
Xie Wanghe looked innocent: "Teacher Li, we really just tried to stop the fight this time, we didn't do anything."
San Liangzi got anxious when he heard this: "You didn't do it, but you dragged me to be beaten by Shao Xingchi. You three are accomplices."
"Teacher Li is talking nonsense..."
Xie Wanghe wanted to explain himself, but San Liangzi immediately said to Teacher Li, "I have a witness. My deskmate Qin Hao can testify."
When Xie Wang and the other four heard this, they secretly cried out in dismay.
Seeing the guilty looks on Xie Wang and the other three's faces, Teacher Li roughly guessed the result in his heart, but in order to convince the four people, he still called Qin Hao out.
"Student Qin Hao, what happened just now? Can you tell the teacher?"
Xie Wang and the other four had already closed their eyes and were waiting for death, but they heard Qin Hao slowly say, "Just now Shao Xingchi accidentally knocked over our desk, and then they started fighting. Xie Wang and the others came to stop the fight, and then you, Teacher Li, came."
Upon hearing this, San Liangzi grabbed Qin Hao's collar excitedly and said, "You are talking nonsense. It was obviously them who took sides. Look how I got beaten."
"Stop fooling around, let go. Are you going to beat your classmates in front of me?" Teacher Li shouted.
San Liangzi defended himself aggrievedly: "Teacher Li, they are in the same group, you have to believe me."
Teacher Li glared at him fiercely: "You said Xie Wang was in the same group with the four of them. I believe it. Qin Hao has always been excellent in both character and study. How could he be hanging out with the four of them?"
After that, he said to Shao Xingchi and San Liangzi, "You two, write a 200-word self-criticism and hand it in to me before school is over!"
"You three, take care of yourselves!"
Xie Wang and the other four returned to the classroom as if they had won a battle. San Liangzi became more and more angry as he watched, and said to Qin Hao through gritted teeth.
"You traitor, we've been sitting at the same table for so long, and yet you're turning your elbow outward."
Qin Hao glanced at him calmly and said, "First of all, the seats assigned to us by the teacher are not ours. We don't seem to have much of a relationship. Secondly, I just reported what I saw to the teacher. It was Teacher Li who decided how to punish you."
"You...Okay, wait for me."
Facing San Liangzi's threat, before Qin Hao could even open his mouth, Xie Wanghe put his hand on Qin Hao's shoulder and said, "San Liangzi, listen to me. If you dare to touch him, I'll show you how I'll deal with you."
San Liangzi gritted his teeth and said, "This is a grudge between him and me, don't worry about it."
"I'm still in charge of this matter."
"If you're not convinced, let's practice again after school!" Shao Xingchi also joined in.
San Liangzi was immediately deflated. In terms of combat effectiveness, he was not even a match for him if he fought alone, let alone against so many people.
"Don't think you'll be alright just because Xie Wang and the others are protecting you. Let's wait and see."
Faced with such a childish threat, Qin Hao laughed and said, "Okay, let's wait and see."
In the blink of an eye, it was afternoon school time. As soon as Qin Hao arrived at the school gate, Xie Wang and the other four caught up with him.
Xie Wanghe put a hand on Qin Hao's shoulder: "Thanks to you for helping me in school today. If San Liangzi causes trouble for you in the future, tell me and we will take care of him."
"That's right. From today on, you are one of us. If anyone dares to bully you, the four of us will beat him up together." Shao Xingchi said, patting his chest.
Qin Hao smiled secretly, it was just like the Black Society. Fortunately, these two were still children when Young and Dangerous was popular, otherwise who knows what they might have done.
"Today I'm helping you out for Uncle Xie's sake. I'm not interested in hanging out with a bunch of reckless men."
It was not until Qin Hao walked a long way that Xie Wanghe realized, "Who is he calling a reckless man?"
"It must be you. You usually have the worst temper." Xia Fenghua said.
Shao Xingchi nodded in agreement.
Zhou Haikuo originally wanted to nod, but was stopped by Xie Wang with a look.
"What are you guys laughing at? He's talking about a bunch of reckless people. A bunch, can I call a bunch a bunch?"
"This kid actually refused to join us and called us reckless."
"That's right. Letting him join is a sign of respect for him. He doesn't know how to appreciate it."
Xie Wang and the other four said indignantly.
"It's okay. Once he gets beaten up by San Liangzi, he'll come to us for help."
"Humph, I won't help him even if he asks me for help. I don't appreciate your kindness."
When she returned home, Liang Guixiang had just closed her stall with her cart. For the livelihood of mother and son, she not only made breakfast, but usually had to stay until four or five in the afternoon.
"Haozi is back. Do your homework first. Mom will cook for you."
"Oh."
Qin Hao sat obediently in the yard doing his homework. With his speed, he finished it quickly and looked at Liang Guixiang who was pounding her waist in the kitchen from time to time.
"We have to find a way to increase the family income."
Money is not omnipotent, but it can solve 99% of the problems in the world. The remaining 1% requires more money to solve.
Making money is actually not a difficult problem for Qin Hao.
The problem is that he is only ten years old and has to go to school every day, so he doesn't have much time. Most importantly, he has no start-up capital. Liang Guixiang basically doesn't give him pocket money. There is only a little bit of New Year's money in his piggy bank, which only adds up to twenty or thirty yuan.
After thinking for a while, Qin Hao took out some letter paper from the house and wrote [Dear sister-in-law, I offer you my fresh liver and love]
That’s right, after much thought, Qin Hao decided that the best thing for his age now, and the way to make money quickly, was to contribute to [Zhiyin].
In the millennium, the Internet was still in its infancy, and it was no exaggeration to say that everyone had a copy of "Story Club" and "Zhiyin". The peak circulation of "Zhiyin" once reached an astonishing 350 million copies.
The reason why Qin Hao chose [Zhiyin] instead of [Story Club] was mainly because [Zhiyin] paid higher royalties. The royalties of [Story Club] were basically 40-150 per thousand words, while the royalties of [Zhiyin] were as high as 150-1000 per thousand words. However, for Qin Hao, a "new identity", it was considered good to be able to get 200 per thousand words.
Of course, the content of "Zhiyin" is even more outrageous. It is a combination of melodrama, curiosity, and ethics. It is as outrageous as it can be.
Soon, a 2,000-word article appeared on the paper. Qin Hao was not satisfied, and continued to write another one before starting to eat.
"Mom, give me your ID card. The school needs a copy."
When she heard that the school wanted it, Liang Guixiang didn't think much about it: "It's in the drawer in the back room. Don't lose it."
"Oh."
Qin Hao is only ten years old, so he definitely cannot submit articles under his name. It is very appropriate for Liang Guixiang to submit articles to [Zhiyin] under her identity.
After dinner, Liang Guixiang went to help someone next door with embroidery to supplement the family income. Qin Hao took the opportunity to write two more articles.
Then he took out ten dollars from his piggy bank, which was not much savings to begin with, bought some stamps and envelopes at the newsstand on Flower Street, and mailed out some articles.
Just as I stuffed the envelope into the mailbox, I heard Xie Wanghe's loud voice behind me.
"Qin Hao, what are you doing?"
"Nothing, just sending a letter."
Qin Hao replied casually.
As they were talking, Xie Wang and the other four had already walked over.
"You can write letters."
Qin Hao rolled his eyes at Xie Wanghe's nonsense.
"Well, no matter what, you helped us today. Whether you join us or not, I will not let Sanliangzi bully you."
Xia Fenghua also patted his chest and said, "That's right, although you are a little arrogant, we will still protect you."
Qin Hao found it a little funny. Does he look like a weakling?
"Also, if you can't swim, we can teach you. Summer vacation is coming soon, and your mother definitely won't have time to take care of you. We swim secretly, and she won't find out." Shao Xingchi looked like: What do you think, we are very loyal.
Qin Hao was speechless. Are you too confident in your swimming ability? You are swimming secretly. If the truth comes out, you will all be in trouble, right?
However, faced with the sincere invitation from a group of little guys, Qin Hao suddenly felt happy.
"So, I have to thank you?"
"Hey, we're brothers, why be so polite?" Xie Wanghe put his arm on Qin Hao's shoulder again.
Shao Xingchi also put one arm on Qin Hao's shoulder and the other arm on Zhou Haikuo's shoulder, and said with great heroism.
"From today on, we are the four young masters of Hua Street. If anyone dares to mess with one of us, we will beat him to a pulp."
Xia Fenghua said dissatisfiedly: "Hey, you are the Four Young Masters of Huajie, then what am I?"
"Dahua, it's not that we don't accept you, it's mainly because you're a girl. You can't be called the Fifth Young Master of Huajie, right?"
"No matter what, I have to be the Five Young Masters of Huajie. Don't even think about abandoning me! Hey, do you hear me?"
"I didn't hear you, run!"
"Stop! Xie Wanghe, Shao Xingchi, Zhou Haikuo, you are dead!"
Watching Xia Fenghua chasing Xie Wanghe and the other two, a smile gradually appeared on Qin Hao's lips.
