Chapter 1010, The Beginning of Civilization

“Help when you say so?” The man didn’t have the good sense to say, “There are a lot of troubles with these fresh immigrants, don’t make promises to people indiscriminately.”

“Okay, I know,” Sister Hu said unconcernedly, “By the way, I heard that Yunsu has a new batch of lipsticks over there, so you can get me some, their lipsticks have always been in short supply, and you can’t even buy them if you want to. You’re so familiar with Wang Fugui, so it shouldn’t be a problem to get you some. You know Wang Fugui so well, you should be able to get some, right?”

“Don’t call Wang Fugui Wang Fugui, call him Mr. Wang, don’t call him that in front of outsiders,” said Wang Yuexiu, “I’m familiar with him because of the business dealings, but people don’t ask me to do things, I still have to look at him.”

“You an official look at his eyes why, he is just a business ah,” Sister Hu muttered.

“What do you know about it,” Wang Yuexiu was anxious: “The brigadier general still calls him Uncle Fugui, who do I think I am? Now he is the president of the Northwest Chamber of Commerce, more powerful than you think, the political and business sectors are looking at his eyes. Haven’t you heard? The Major will be back soon. He’ll be in the Northwest by then, so I can’t take advantage of him. And he is not only occupy the white road, a while ago do not know where to drill out a group of bandits robbed the Northwest Chamber of Commerce goods, the result of a phone call out of him, outside the black market that will bring people to the other side of the mountain flat ……”

“That said, the Northwest side of the people open black market, no one tube?” Sister Hu was a little puzzled.

“Control?” Wang Yue breath bitterly laughed: “Who will manage? The day the black market opened I also went, Zhang Brigade Commander Zhang Xiaoman personally carried a flower basket to the door to congratulate, this damn who else can control her …… so that you a woman involved in this kind of thing, you do not understand.”

Sister Hu raised her eyebrows: “line ah Wang Yue interest, out of interest, my mother and you ate more than ten years of suffering, and now just a few days as an official, you know with my official voice, right? When I followed you, did I ever complain?”

Wang Yuexiu’s face was suddenly bitter: “Forget it, don’t say it, don’t say it, okay? I’ll go buy you lipstick!”

……

Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaoguan walked towards the food market with their baskets, the road was full of pedestrians early in the morning, and the whole ledge was bustling and looked extremely angry.

“That Sister Hu was quite enthusiastic just now,” Yang Xiaoguan said with a smile.

“But I think her husband is quite cold,” Ren Xiaosu whispered, “as if he’s worried that we’ll really trouble them with something.”

“After all, he’s not familiar with us,” Yang Xiaoguan said.

“But I’m not used to that Sister Hu being so enthusiastic,” Ren Xiaosu said, “In the past, if someone was suddenly enthusiastic about you in the marketplace, it would not be good.”

“But Xiaosu, you’re already a lot different compared to that time in the market town,” said Yang Xiaoguan, “Maybe you didn’t even realize it yourself, but in the past you probably wouldn’t have gone to avenge Mr. Jiang Xu’s death.”

“Well,” Ren Xiaosu thought about it, “I shouldn’t, it’s just that after experiencing so many things, I always feel that I should do something and be able to do something.”

“You know, I used to read a book about the origin of human civilization, and it overturned a lot of my concepts,” Yang Xiaoguan said, “What do you think is the sign of the origin of human civilization?”

“Using tools? Enslaving others?” Ren Xiaosu said, “When there was inequality in the means of production ……”

“No,” Yang Xiaoguan shook his head, “You’re talking about the origin of society, not the origin of civilization.”

“Then what is the origin of civilization?” Ren Xiaosu asked.

“The origin of civilization is a broken and then healed thigh bone,” Yang Xiaoguan said, “When an animal breaks its thigh bone in the wild, it is actually doomed. It won’t be able to hunt for food or go to the river to drink, and is destined to become food for other beasts in the vast wilderness. A broken and healed human thigh bone meant that someone would be with him for a long time to take care of him, to help him heal his wounds, to help him find food until he could move again. Xiaosu, helping others in distress is where civilization begins.”

Ren Xiaosu was thoughtful, “But I always feel that I shouldn’t help people who have nothing to do with me. Now that I’m hiding here I’m also thinking about it, everyone says I’m a Major now, but I haven’t figured out how to take on this responsibility myself.”

“It’s the same thing to help only those related to yourself and guard your loved ones,” Yang Xiaoguan said, “I’m not going to advise you to be a great benefactor or even a saint, let’s just guard the people around us.”

At this moment, the crowd around them was bustling, Ren Xiaosu and Yang Xiaoguan were traveling together.

Yang Xiaoguan said doubtfully, “To say that Barrier 144 is no different from the other barriers, why do you feel that there is a little more ‘popularity’ here?”

The same is a barrier with a solid wall, the residents are not different, the pedestrians on the road, young people go to work, middle-aged and old people buy food shopping and greetings, according to every barrier is the same, but Yang Xiaoguan always feel that there are some subtle differences.

Ren Xiaosu laughed, “Maybe you’re in a different mood.”

“Maybe,” Yang Xiaoguan nodded.

When they walked to the food market, Ren Xiaosu lowered her voice and said, “You haven’t gone to the food market to buy food before, have you?”

“Saying it like you’ve bought it before?” Yang Xiaoguan scornfully said, “You’ve always been a vagrant outside the wall before, how have you ever been to the wall’s vegetable market? Don’t be so secretive as to make it sound like you have a lot of experience.”

Ren Xiaosu was not happy, “But I’ve asked Wang Fugui for experience ah, before when I was in Li’s he went to buy vegetables every day, Sister Xiaoyu all praised him for buying fresh and cheap vegetables.”

“How did he buy it?” Yang Xiaoguan said.

“He told me, once you enter the vegetable market you have to first find a big mom with a loud voice by your eyesight, and then follow her to buy,” Ren Xiaosu said, “This kind of big mom is especially picky about buying vegetables on the one hand, and on the other hand she cuts down the price especially fiercely. When she’s done shopping, we’ll follow her to buy the same thing, and we’ll even save ourselves the step of bargaining.”

“Seems a bit reasonable,” Yang Xiaoguan nodded her head.

At this time, looking at the entire vegetable market, there were actually not many people of Ren Xiaosu’s age, the children in the barriers who were as old as them were either still in school or had already gone to work, not many of them would come to buy vegetables.

On the contrary, there were some young people in the vegetable vendors.

Ren Xiaosu stared at an older woman, then said to Yang Xiaoguan, “See, she’s the one, let’s follow her!”

Yang Xiaoguan watched from behind as the gleeful Ren Xiaosu followed the aunt, and thought, “I’m afraid that many people have never seen Ren Xiaosu like this.

Who would have thought that such a Barrier Destroyer, who made his enemies scared, would be calculating over a little bit of food money.

The Barrier Destroyer was a bit unlike the Barrier Destroyer, and of course, she, the sniper, was unlike the sniper.
