Courtyard Houses: Starting as a Purchasing Agent

However, the cannons were still fired.

"Squeak!"

The door to Old Jia's house next door opened.

He tucked his hands into his sleeves and went out with his arms crossed.

His eyes lit up instantly when he saw the two of them setting off firecrackers.

Shoot off?

I'm a professional, you know.

"You two are such cowards!" Bang Geng's lips curled up slightly as he chuckled and said, "You don't even have the guts to set off firecrackers? Let me tell you, I dared to set off big thunderbolts when I was eight years old!"

"Look how scared you are!"

"Just tap it in your hand, tap it, and throw it out!"

The stick was given to Xiaolong to direct.

Xiao Long waved his hand and said, "No, I'm scared!"

"Come on... let me try!" Banggeng walked up to Xiaolong.

Xiao Long gave Da Lei Zi to Bang Geng.

Banggeng picked up the large thunderbolt with his other hand and a stick of incense with his other hand, and lit the fuse of the thunderbolt in his hand.

chi chi chi...

Sparks flew from the fuse.

The stick is like a warrior, looking down with disdain at all the saints.

He saw the fear in Xiaolong and Xiaohu's eyes, and then smiled coldly.

call out……

He threw the big thunderbolt into the air.

boom……

It suddenly rang out in mid-air.

"Tsk tsk tsk..." Xiao Long gave a thumbs up and said, "Bang Geng, you're still the best!"

"That's right!" Banggeng said proudly, "I dared to unleash a thunderbolt when I was eight years old!"

At this moment, Bang Geng was extremely proud.

Unfortunately, that was not the case.

Just then, Liu Guangtian, the second uncle, happened to pass by and heard Bang Geng's words. He immediately replied, "Yeah, you were already throwing big grenades when you were eight years old, and you even blew up your mother's buttocks!"

"puff……"

Xiao Long and Xiao Hu burst out laughing when they heard that.

The two brothers had also heard about this.

Just imagining that scene is truly exhilarating.

"You...you..." Bang Geng was so angry that he trembled all over and almost went up to beat Liu Guangtian up after his secret was exposed.

Unfortunately he didn't dare.

I've been terrified of Liu Guangtian since I was a child.

"Humph……"

In the end, all the anger turned into a cold snort. Banggeng asked Xiaolong for a big thunderbolt, lit it, and threw it at Aunt Yi's house.

boom……

A loud thunderclap suddenly rang out in Uncle Yi's house.

An elderly woman was so frightened she almost fell to the ground.

"What are you doing... what are you doing..."

An elderly woman stormed out of the house, shouting, "Who threw this huge bomb into our house?"

Both Xiao Hu and Xiao Long pointed their fingers at the stick.

But the sticks don't care.

He put his hands into his sleeves, looked up, and said, "You want me to find you a cripple as a wife?"

Goodness, now Banggeng only dares to bully two old folks, Uncle Yi and Aunt Yi.

"Qin Huairu, are you even going to take care of your child?!" Aunt Yi shouted at Qin Huairu's door.

One by one, the neighbors in the courtyard came out: Uncle Yi, Qin Huairu, Jia Zhangshi, Aunt Er, Aunt San, and so on.

"Bang Geng, why are you like this?"

Even the usually quiet old man was furious, his face turning red with anger: "You're not a child anymore, you're thirty years old, how could you do something like this?"

"Are you taking advantage of us because we have no descendants?"

The old man was so angry that his breathing became rapid.

Uncle Er chimed in from the side, "This is outrageous! This is absolutely outrageous!"

Qin Huairu also scolded Bang Geng.

Banggeng said symbolically, "I'm sorry, Uncle and Auntie, I was wrong, I was just joking with you!"

"Hehe... It's almost Chinese New Year, isn't your house the quietest?"

"Just trying to add some festive atmosphere for you all, don't get the wrong idea!"

Everyone had arrived, and then he said that again.

The old man was so angry he wanted to hit someone.

Unfortunately, we can't resort to violence over such a trivial matter. Even if we did, my old arms and legs might not be able to defeat this young man, Banggeng.

"Alright, Uncle Yi!" Qin Huairu said, "It's nothing serious, let's just leave it at that!"

Qin Huairu went back to the house.

"Let's go, let's go!"

Little Tiger pulled Little Dragon along and said, "Let's not set off any more firecrackers!"

Xiao Hu was afraid of causing trouble later.

Xiao Long naturally listened to his older brother, and the two brothers packed up the firecrackers and prepared to leave.

"Wait a minute!"

But Banggeng blocked their way, saying, "The cannons haven't finished firing yet, what are you going back for?"

"Come on, give me the remaining big thunderbolts, I'll set them off!"

Xiao Hu looked unhappy.

However, being naturally kind-hearted, he did not argue and even wanted to give the cannon in his hand to Bang Geng.

Xiao Long replied, "Why should I give it to you?"

Bang Geng said, "You two cowards are useless to me!"

Xiao Long said, "You're brave?"

"That's right!" Banggeng said, "Even if you two brothers were together, you couldn't compare to me. I'm not only brave, but also capable. How many people would dare to release a thunderbolt at the age of eight!"

"Don't believe me? Ask our neighbors!"

The neighbors nodded with smiles: That's a good idea.

Then, Xiaolong still wouldn't give him the big thunderbolts, but said, "Alright then, you're very capable and bold. I'll test you. If you win, I'll give you all the remaining big thunderbolts, plus another hundred dollars!"

"??" Banggeng's eyes lit up.

One hundred dollars?

Don’t give it up for free.

"Okay..." He looked at Xiaolong: "How do we take the test?"

Xu Damao, Uncle Yi, Uncle Er, Uncle San, and others also looked at Xiaolong with interest.

Xiao Long didn't speak, but instead took out two pieces of chewing gum from his pocket and asked, "Do you know what this is?"

As they spoke, they tore off the outer wrapper, revealing the white, tender chewing gum inside.

"It's just candy, gummy candy!" said Banggeng. "I've seen it before!"

"Ok!"

Xiao Long put the chewing gum in his hand together, kneaded it into a soft cone, and then placed the cone, pointed upwards, on the square table in the courtyard that symbolized the old men's hard work.

From a distance, it looks like a thorn made of chewing gum.
