I came out of my home and walked through Zhoujia Lane to Shiqiao Market to buy fish for my father. It was noon one day, and I was the only one walking in the sun in Zhoujia Lane. The shop signs on both sides of the alley are as listless as mine. At this time, I could buy cheap fish at Shiqiao Market. Of course, they were all left over from others, but my father didn't dislike it. He was greedy for cheap fish. When I passed by Aunt Guan’s deli restaurant, I heard Aunt Guan call me, Zhou Lin, come on. I stopped and turned around and asked, "What's the matter?" Aunt Guan's eyes flashed over my face, swept over the department store barber shop and blacksmith shop in turn, and finally returned to my face. If you have anything, please tell me quickly. I said, I still want to buy fish. Aunt Guan said, come to the store and I will tell you again.

Aunt Guan said that her deli restaurant was stolen and two roast chickens were missing, one sauce pig's trotter . There is a lot of money! She said. Do you think you should report this matter?

is not a valuable thing. I said. Maybe it was taken away by a cat. You can't let the police help you catch a cat, right? I glanced at the chopping board and couldn't help swallowing. There was a piece of beef on the chopping board. Aunt Guan thought something and said that I think it is not appropriate to report the case. I swallowed and spitted again, saying, "Just be careful in the future, I still want to buy fish."

Do you like eating roast chicken? Aunt Guan said. If you catch the thief for me, I will reward you with a roast chicken.

Of course I like to eat roast chicken, but I am not sure whether I can catch the thief. I hesitated and did not agree to her immediately.

What if the thief was a cat? I said.

Aunt Guan said, as long as you catch it, no matter whether it is a human or a beast, I will reward you with a roast chicken.

That's fine! I said.

I went to Shiqiao Market to buy fish for my father. On the way back, I paid attention to the shops on both sides of the alley and saw Lao Qiao from the blacksmith shop lying on the recliner and napping. Lao Qiao is a widower, and his children are already married and rarely see him. He has stopped striking irons since last year, and Zhoujiaxiang has become lifeless because of the lack of tingling irons. After Lao Qiao didn't make a fuss, he got a cat from somewhere and held it in his arms every day like he did to his son, even when he was drinking. Maybe it was his cat who did it. I think. From his blacksmith shop, you can see Aunt Guan’s deli shop diagonally opposite, and you can see the Sichuan girl sitting behind the counter through the window glass. Aunt Guan rarely stayed in the store. She hired a girl to show her the store. She had to go to the store until the evening, and then left after a while. It must have been done by Lao Qiao's cat. I thought happily that as long as I catch it, I can get a roast chicken. When I thought of roast chicken, my saliva flowed out.

Zhou Duozhu in the barber shop was shaving Ma Sanye. Master Ma San closed his eyes and said something to Zhou Du. Zhou Duozui raised a dog, a black dog, who often chased chickens from a certain family and ran in the alley. Now, his black dog was squatting outside the barber shop door. When he saw me looking at it, he actually shook his tail. I stamped my feet, and it grinned at me and grinned again. This black dog is a slander dog, and it is not unreasonable to list it as a suspect. As I walked past Aunt Guan’s deli restaurant, I saw her sitting there dozing off, her head bit by bit, like a chicken pecking at rice. That Sichuan girl is not here. There was little in the store, and maybe she was sent away by Aunt Guan.

My home is on Shengli Street. Come out from Zhoujia Lane, turn left, and walk for another three minutes. In the past, my family was in Zhoujia Lane, and later I bought a house on Shengli Street and sold the house in Zhoujia Lane. I was born and raised in Zhoujiaxiang, where everyone knows me and everyone knows me as a naughty child.

When I got home, my father didn't ask me why I had been there for so long. After seeing the grass carp I carried, he said he would go out of his stomach. I took the fish to the faucet, scraped the scales with a knife, then cut open the fish's belly, and took out the internal organs. I am very skilled in serving fish almost every day, and I am better at using the squids. The fish is not as delicious as roast chicken. I don’t like eating fish, and I feel uncomfortable when I see it.How great would it be if the fish in my hand turned into a roast chicken! I think it will turn into a roast chicken. As long as I catch the thief, the fish in my hand will turn into a fragrant roast chicken.

Aunt Guan really sent that Sichuan girl away. However, Aunt Guan didn't say that. She said that the Sichuan girl left by herself, and she went there to find another place. A girl's family is young and needs food, clothing, and buys cosmetics. How could she stay in my small shop? Aunt Guan said it is quite reasonable. A girl, who is a little pretty, can't make money anywhere. The Sichuan girl left, and the person sitting in the store had to be Aunt Guan. She was alone and her grandson went to the nursery again, so she might as well live a comfortable life by staying in a store. Have you found

? Aunt Guan asks this every time she sees me.

I shook my head.

That's a cunning guy! I said. Aunt Guan, is there anything missing in the store?

Aunt Guan said, no.

Aunt Guan didn't mention roast chicken, so I was embarrassed to ask. Besides, I didn't even see the shadow of the thief, so I had no face to ask roast chicken.

I was so sad that I was wandering around the alley alone.

A thief will not commit crimes in the same place twice. Maybe that guy is a passing thief and he will leave after he succeeds. I was disappointed, but I didn't give up. I was lucky enough to think that he would appear again... I wandered around the alley and found that Zhou Duozhu often ran to Aunt Guan's deli restaurant, and he would never leave the store empty-handedly. Sometimes he bought a piece of pork head meat, and sometimes he carried a ham sausage.

Zhou shivered and wanted to eat Aunt Guan’s “tofu”.

An old bachelor ran to Aunt Guan’s shop every day, and this matter was strange. I hate Zhou Duoshi because I don’t like haircuts and I always worry that he will cut off my ears. His hands always tremble for no reason, but his skills are very good, and he is well-known in Zhoujiaxiang. He never cut off his ears or scratched his face because of his trembling. What the master of art and courage is Zhou Duoshi.

Zhou Lin! Go buy fish for your father again. Zhou Duozuo said so every time. It’s time for your father to change his taste. You can’t eat fish for a lifetime alone! Zhou shivered and smiled. I'm afraid your father has become a fish, and it's smelly and fishy!

This week shivering!

I said, you are trembling, don’t eat it in your nose!

Zhou shivered and glared at his eyes, saying that you just had eaten it in your nose! He talks without a long time...

Zhou Dushi will not steal Aunt Guan's pig's trotters, but his dog will steal. That day, I saw Zhou's trembling black dog gnawing on a bone. I told Aunt Guan about this discovery. Aunt Guan said, the door is closed well, how can it come in? I said, the dog can't get in, but it can find a way. Aunt Guan smiled. Dogs are not humans, what can they think of? I thought it was Zhou Duozhu's dog who was fucked, but I still didn't give up and said that Zhou Duozhu could find a way for his dog. Aunt Guan frowned and said, "Who else do you doubt?" You won’t doubt Qiao’s cat, too? Why did Aunt Guan think about the problem like this? I suspect that Zhou's shivering dog has evidence. Have you ever seen a cat gnaw on a bone? Cats only like to eat fish, just like my father, and never get tired of eating it.

I was discouraged and left Aunt Guan’s deli restaurant and went to Shiqiao Market to buy fish for my father. When I came back, Qiao Blacksmith said, Zhou Lin, have you always wanted a knife? If you like it, I'll give you a try. What happened to Qiao Blacksmith today? He actually wanted to give me a knife. I said happily, of course I want it!

That's fine! said Blacksmith Qiao. I'll light the fire and fire it for you.

Blacksmith Qiao does it as soon as he says. He took off his arms and asked me to pull the bellows, while he put a piece of good steel into the fire, saying that the knife made with this steel is fast! I said, can you cut iron like mud? He nodded. The fire illuminated his face, and due to the long-term iron slaughter, his face was roasted into the color of pork liver by the fire. When making a blacksmith, you must master the heat. He said. Of course, quenching is also very important... I am not interested in ironworking, I just want him to give me a knife as soon as possible. I kept pulling the bellows, only to hear the whistling flames. He clamped the iron with tongs, then placed it on the anvil, holding the hammer tightly with one hand, and hitting it one by one.Mars flashed on the anvil... Under his knock, the iron was twisted and deformed, revealing the prototype of a knife. As the hammer in his hand fell, my heart also rose and fell. When I heard a slap, I looked at the iron again and it had turned into a beautiful knife.

Now, I have a beautiful and chilling knife. I wandered around Zhoujia Lane with it in my arms, and felt like a knight. The joy brought to me by a knife made me forget the roast chicken and the thief who stole Aunt Guan’s pork trotters. When I came back from buying fish and passed by Zhou Duozhu's barber shop, I would take out a knife to demonstrate to Zhou Duozhu. Zhou Duoshi, but was absent-minded, saying that he was just a broken knife! Maybe it's not as fast as my razor. He underestimated my knife, which made me a little unhappy. I said, break the knife! When I slaughter your black dog one day, you will know how powerful it is. Zhou Duozhu heard what I said, and couldn't help but tremble for a moment, saying that you are very brave! You don't have that courage!

Zhou Duozhu and Aunt Guan were having a very hot fight. Aunt Guan even sent him out and smiled at him. Zhou shivered and smiled. When Aunt Guan returned to the store, he walked past Lao Qiao's blacksmith shop with great pride, humming the lyrics from " Shajiabang ".

This week shivering! I said to Lao Qiao. Why did he run to Aunt Guan’s shop every day?

Lao Qiao said, who doesn’t know his colorful intestines!

He wants to eat Aunt Guan’s “tofu”. I said.

What do you know in your child’s home! Old Qiao said unhappily. Don't talk nonsense if you don't know.

I am not afraid of Zhou trembling. I said.

is not a matter of fear or not. Lao Qiao said.

Lao Qiao’s mood today is a little bit wrong.

I said, do you know why Aunt Guan fired that Sichuan girl?

Lao Qiao kept silent.

I said again, Aunt Guan’s house was stolen, and Aunt Guan even asked me to catch the thief, saying that as long as I caught it, I would be rewarded with a roast chicken. Don’t you want to eat roast chicken? The roast chicken made by Aunt Guan is so delicious.

Don't bother me here! Lao Qiao said.

This old Qiao! I stopped making any more noises in disappointment. If it weren't for his gift of a knife, I wouldn't be able to swallow my anger.

That day, I went to Shiqiao Market to buy fish for my father. When I came back, I saw two people fighting in the alley. When I got closer, I couldn't help but be surprised. The people who fought turned out to be Zhou Duozhu and Lao Qiao. The two of them refused to give in to each other, gasping and not talking. Two old men fight, rare! I walked over happily and said, "Try it!" Fight! Lao Qiao gave me a knife, of course I have to repay my kindness, so I stood by Lao Qiao and said that Zhou Shishi should be beaten! Mr. Qiao, you'd better get rid of his teeth so that he can buy pig's trotters to eat!

The sun is very good this day, and there is no trace of cloud shadow in the sky. The two of them confronted each other with a serious expression, as if they were going to fight to the death.

They are like two dogs fighting for a bone and they are unwilling to admit defeat.

You are trembling this week! Lao Qiao finally said, you are not kind to wish the chicken a happy New Year!

Zhou shivered and said, "You are jealous!" If someone ignores you, just vent my anger! Let me tell you Lao Qiao, don’t think I’m afraid of you! Who did you think I was afraid of?

Lao Qiao said, Zhou shivered! You are not interested in "embroidered shoes"...

Zhou Shishi heard Lao Qiao say this, and his body trembled and said, "Who do you care about who I like?" I also like "Yangma"!

Eat the bowl and look in the pot, you tremble and don’t have the same face!

I want to! Zhou Duoshi said, what can you do to me?

Lao Qiao said, you want to! Listen to everyone, he actually said that he wanted to...

, how could there be such a fight? I was impatient and said, are you fighting? If you can't fight, I'll teach you.

Lao Qiao turned his head to look at me and said, "How do you think you are going to hit me?"

Zhou Shishi also said, that's it! How do you think you're going to fight?

I thought about it and said you're going to fall .

Lao Qiao looked at Zhou trembling.

Zhou shivered and looked at Lao Qiao.

wins and two losses. If it falls into a draw, add another game. I said.

The two nodded and said at the same time, that's OK!

Then I said let’s start! I said.

Let’s start! The two people said at the same time.

Have you ever seen two old men fall? One is a blacksmith and the other is a haircut. The age difference is not big, and the health is reasonable. You must have never seen it, because it happened in Zhoujia Lane, because I was the only one present at that time, and it was the referee.

Zhou shivered suddenly and rushed forward, stretched out his hands and hugged Lao Qiao's waist. Before I could say that Zhou trembled, he started to do it. I didn't understand the rules at all, and I said angrily, Zhou shivered! I haven't given the order yet.

Zhou's trembling face turned red, and hissing sounds were made in his mouth. He shook Old Qiao, trying to knock Old Qiao down. Lao Qiao reached out to to grab Zhou 's trembling head, but Zhou trembled left and right, and his movements were rarely quick.

As a referee, I am not fair, because Lao Qiao gave me a knife, so of course I should stand on Lao Qiao's side.

The police are here! I said suddenly. Where is

? Zhou trembled and looked at it, but Lao Qiao took the opportunity to hug his head. Old Qiao used his arms to jammed Zhou's trembling neck, making Zhou tremble with red face and thick neck, and was panting. Old Qiao turned around and some legs came, and suddenly put Zhou trembling on the ground. Zhou trembled, got up with grin and said, "Come again!" Come again!

wonderful! I said. So wonderful!

In the past, Lao Qiao and Zhou Duosu often played chess together, and their relationship was good. Sometimes I even drink two cups. Today they turned against each other. I don't know why they are like this, and I don't have the heart to ask more questions.

Zhou Duo rushed towards Lao Qiao first. He grabbed one of Lao Qiao's hands, opened his mouth and bit it. Old Qiao said in pain, "I've agreed to fall, why did you get down?"

I said, Mr. Qiao! Bite his ear...

Lao Qiao reacted very quickly. Before I could finish speaking, he bit Zhou's trembling ear.

At this time, I heard a woman talking. There was also a man's laughter. It's Aunt Guan. Aunt Guan and a strange man walked towards her deli. The man was about the same age as Aunt Guan, dressed cleanly and elegantly, and wore a dark red tie.

Lao Qiao and Zhou Duoshi also saw it. They looked dazed and let go of their mouths at the same time.

Aunt Guan saw them hugging each other, smiled, and then said to the man around her that it was Lao Qiao and Lao Zhou. The man looked at it, put one hand on Aunt Guan's shoulder, and said nothing. Aunt Guan smiled at me shyly, turned around and walked into the store door. What's wrong with

? I said. Do you still fall or not? If I don't fall, I'll leave!

rolls over! They said in unison.

these two old things! I was angry, but I saw them lying on the ground at the same time.

You little bastard dare to fool me? Zhou said tremblingly.

is! Lao Qiao said. It's time to fight!

I said, you are going to fall! Didn’t I tell you to fall?

is all you instigate from it! The two people spoke in unison.

I said, if you can’t eat tofu, I can’t let out my anger!

little bastard! The two of them spoke in unison again.

These two old things are a bit abnormal. Thinking that I was still carrying a fish, I turned around and walked towards Victory Street. The fish was covered with green-headed flies, and I had to coax them to drive them away while walking quickly. Those flies were so annoying that they would never leave no matter how hard they drove them away.

I looked back and saw Lao Qiao and Zhou tremblingly climbing up from the ground, grinning while slapping the dust on their bodies. Old Qiao took out a cigarette. Zhou Duo took it and then took the lighter to light a cigarette for Lao Qiao. Lao Qiao held Zhou's trembling fire with both hands, his cheeks sagged, and then he took a breath of cigarette.

They did not decide the winner, but walked towards Lao Qiao's blacksmith shop together.

Looking from Lao Qiao's recliner, you can see Aunt Guan's deli restaurant across the street. Through the window glass, you can see Aunt Guan sitting behind the counter. There was a theft in Aunt Guan’s shop. She did not call the police, but asked me to catch the thief, and said that when I caught the thief, I would reward me with a roast chicken. I didn't catch the thief, so I wouldn't have eaten roast chicken. Lao Qiao often sat on the lounge chair and took a nap. Sometimes Zhou shivered and came to sit, play chess with him, or took a nap with him. But Lao Qiao changed the position of the recliner for a while.In this way, he could see the stone bridge at the Shiqiao Market not far away while sitting on the lounge chair. I still go to Shiqiao Market every day, but Aunt Guan didn't call me, saying that her store had been stolen again. Aunt Guan hired another middle-aged woman to show her the store, and she rarely went to the store.

One day, I came back from Shiqiao Market, holding a pig's leg bone in my hand (my father said it was time to change his taste. Since my father said this, he no longer ate fish, but instead ate pig's leg bone.) and a piece of lamb chop. When I passed by Lao Qiao and Zhou's trembling side, I heard Lao Qiao say, do you know who stole the chicken? Zhou shivered and smiled, saying it was you? Lao Qiao said, it was me. If I don’t do that, will she see the store herself? Zhou shivered and laughed loudly. Lao Qiao said, I didn’t expect you to have that thought. Zhou Duo stopped his smile and said that we had a fight for a woman. Do you think it’s worth it? Old Qiao thought something and said why isn't it worth it? I think it's worth it! The two laughed at the same time.

turned out to be stolen by Lao Qiao. Now the truth has finally come out.

If I go and tell Aunt Guan and say I know who the thief is, will she reward me with a roast chicken?

I speeded up, but instead of walking towards Aunt Guan’s house, I returned to my own house. That day, I told my father about Lao Qiao and Zhou's trembling fight, but my father said that these two things were probably brain problems. My mother asked me, who had a fight with whom? I said, Lao Qiao and Zhou shivered. After hearing this, my mother said why they were fighting? Aren't they pretty good? Who knows! I was also puzzled at that time. But now I know. They fought for Aunt Guan.
