A nation's industrial development begins with junior engineers.

Chapter 128 Human Cannonball, Boom!

Not a family, do not enter the door.

The old woman, who was well aware of Yi Zhonghai's art of smoothing things over, used a clever trick to shift the blame, which immediately revitalized Jia Zhangshi's life.

The old women and young wives around them also found a new breakthrough.

"That's right! If Uncle San had kept a close watch on the gate, those street thugs wouldn't have been able to get in!"

"Yes, yes!"

"Today it was just some thugs who got in. What if a few spies show up another day? Would we even be alive then?"

"Yes, that's right!"

Someone timidly reminded him, "Didn't Uncle San go to work?"

"Uncle isn't here, but Auntie is! Didn't they promise to keep a close watch on the house? That's why we gave them the keys to the compound."

"What they're doing is irresponsible!"

"That makes sense! Let's go find them!"

After the discussion, the group all looked at Jia Zhangshi.

Jia Zhangshi handed her grandson over to her daughter-in-law and told them to go home.

Hmph! You can't handle those thugs, but you think you can't handle me?

With her head held high, Jia Zhangshi walked towards the front yard: "I, Zhang Erhua, will lead the charge!"

Ha, they really are subservient to outsiders but strike hard at home.

……

After some arguing, it turned out that the three aunties were no pushovers either.

Her eldest son, Yan Jiecheng, had already sneaked back to tell her the whole story.

The three women first piled the white lime in the corner of the wall and covered it with a broom.

He pointed to the east wing: "They said they were hired by that family to renovate the house. Can I just stand by the door and not let them in?"

“Every wrong has its perpetrator, every debt its debtor, but aren’t there still two people who haven’t escaped? And they seem to be the ringleaders.”

The leader?

Jia Zhangshi's eyes gleamed, and she rushed towards the east wing.

The older woman wanted to follow, but remembering the threats made by the thugs, she hesitated.

The other neighbors were all shrewd; they simply gathered under the covered walkway in front of the Third Uncle's house and peered out.

They've all lived through the war years; none of them are fools. They know that some things are best observed from the sidelines; getting involved might cost you your head.

"Hey, Auntie. Who was this house allocated to? I haven't seen anyone for so long!"

Several young wives in the backyard asked curiously.

"His name is Jiang Xia, he also works at the steel rolling mill. That day, he was accompanied by two men in white uniforms!"

"This name sounds familiar, like I've heard it somewhere before?"

The three older women looked at them with a sense of superiority: "You bumpkins! He's accomplished great things. The literacy teacher was praising him just a few days ago! Hey, serves you right for not studying. I know, but why should I tell you?"

Meanwhile, on Liu Daba's side...

The hangers were efficient; they finished painting the first room of the east wing in no time.

But look at the result! It's all over the place, like a naughty child rolling around in a mud puddle.

Seeing Liu Daba's delighted expression, the second brother didn't bother to point it out.

If it's this color, it's better not to apply it at all.

Whether you meet the standards or not, if you don't have braised pork offal for lunch, we're not playing with you anymore.

The two moved to the middle room.

Do you all remember? It's the room where Jiang Xia coaxed Yan Fugui into giving him Wulingzhi.

Some friends said it should be called Night-Shining Sand. Others said calling it a bat wouldn't do, so why give it a name like a big flying mouse?

no!

It really is a flying squirrel.

Its scientific name is *Pterodon spp.*, also known as the "Cold-weather bird"! It is a species unique to China.

"Dororo, dororo, the cold wind is freezing me to death, I'll make a nest tomorrow."

Do you remember it from your elementary school textbook?

The most distinctive feature of flying squirrels is the gliding membrane between their forelimbs and hindlimbs, which allows them to glide briefly when unfolded. Because flying squirrels can fly short distances using their "wingsuits," ancient people mistakenly thought they were birds.

Moreover, they don't need to build nests; they live directly in tree holes.

As for why it went to stay on the roof of the middle room, that remains unknown.

Since it's called a "mouse," it's a rodent. Whether it's cute or not, its nature is there.

What is nature?

molar!

So when Liu Daba La raised the rope, the roof beams were already creaking.

Perhaps because his waist was too tightly bound, Liu Dabalai simply dismantled a table leg, tied it horizontally with a rope, and sat on the table leg himself.

The wisdom of the working people is terrifyingly strong.

The second child also gained experience from having more poops.

He tied the rope around his waist, lifted Liu Daba La up, and then lay down on the ground, his big feet bracing against the threshold outside the house.

Hey, this is pretty easy.

If you look up at the sky occasionally, the white clouds floating by look like big steamed buns.

How long has it been since I've had a snow-white steamed bun?

The sound of rapid footsteps interrupted the second brother's thoughts.

A pair of large feet stopped in front of him.

?

His gaze shifted upwards, and he saw a round face with triangular eyes glaring at him with fury.

"Auntie? What's wrong?"

"Compensate!"

Hearing Jia Zhangshi's unfriendly tone, the second son loosened the rope, stood up, and wanted to put Liu Daba down so he could reason with him slowly.

"What the hell! What the hell! I didn't tell you to put it down, why did you put it down! This crack is so wide!"

"Hang in there! I'll get you another two ounces of liquor at noon!"

Alright, you're in charge!

The second son lay down on the ground again, gesturing to Jia Zhangshi: "This is the person in charge. You can talk to him if you need anything. Don't yell at me. I'm just a nobody."

When Jia Zhangshi peeked inside, she was surprised to find a flying acrobat!

After entering the house, Jia Zhangshi explained what had happened, then spread her hands and said, "Pay up!"

"You're ashamed of yourself. I don't even know those people! I just bumped into them on the street. You should report it to the authorities."

When Liu Daba La heard that the group of thugs had actually made ten yuan, his hand trembled.

Good heavens, my back is all rubbed raw from being squeezed, and it's only 8 yuan.

Is extorting people really that profitable?

Upon hearing that Liu Daba had completely shirked responsibility, Jia Zhangshi immediately became ruthless.

I gave him a hard push.

Poor Liu Daba was already hanging by a rope, and with the push, he immediately lost his balance and began to sway forward.

It was swaying and spinning at the same time.

"Will you compensate me or not?!"

"Pay me my ass! You old hag, you dare make me get down here!"

Enraged, Jia Zhangshi shoved Liu Daba La again.

Now it's even higher, it's swinging even higher.

Moreover, Liu Daba started spinning like a top. For a moment, he felt dizzy and the scenery in front of him blurred, and he couldn't help but let out "ah ah" cries.

My head was spinning, and my stomach was churning so badly that I almost threw up my dinner from the night before.

Seeing Liu Daba's miserable state, Jia Zhangshi actually laughed out loud: "Hey, are you going to compensate me or not!"

"It's none of my business, why should I compensate you!"

With another push, Liu Daba continued to spin.

The roof beams with ropes hanging from them were already emitting ominous cracking sounds.

The second brother calmly looked away from Liu Daba, who looked like dried meat from the wind.

What do I care? You just want me to pull the rope. Ah, the white clouds in the sky look like steamed buns. Steamed buns, steamed buns, let them fall into my mouth.

Kara~~~~

The overburdened roof beam finally broke in two, and at that moment, Liu Daba La swung towards the highest point.

Without any support, he slammed into the crack in the house like a flail that had been flung away.

With a "poof," a large hole appeared in the wall.

The roof beams fell off, and the walls collapsed.

The three houses collapsed to the ground with a crash, like dominoes that had been toppled.

"Wow~~~ Aunt Jia, you're amazing! The house collapsed as soon as she went in?"
