under the foggy mountain

Chapter 15

Yuan Guishan went home and picked up a pair of Fenjiu. He crossed the road and came to the door of Zhou's house. Just as he was about to open the door, he saw Tang Debiao coming out of the miscellaneous room on the right, so he greeted with a smile, "De Si, you are here too." ah?"

Tang Debiao ignored him, and immediately turned his head back.

Zhou Changming came out with sweat on his face, an apron around his waist, some brown chaff on his hands, a smile on his face, and he called out: "Secretary Yuan."

"Changming, I'm here to celebrate your grandfather's birthday!" Yuan Guishan replied with a smile, and asked, "Changming, are you serving wine?"

Zhou Changming smiled and said, "Thank you, Secretary Yuan! Oh, De Si is cooking wine, let me help."

Zhou Changming is also a master brewer, and he is a brother of the same school as Tang Debiao.

Seeing that Yuan Guishan was about to open the door to enter, Zhou Changming quickly said, "Secretary Yuan, I'm sorry, today we are just family members having dinner together."

Yuan Guishan smiled "hehe" and said, "Changming, I know your grandfather likes to drink a glass, so I'll bring him a bottle of wine."

Zhou Changming said: "Secretary Yuan, you know that my grandfather doesn't drink bottled wine."

Yuan Guishan held up the wine and said: "I know your master doesn't like blended wine, but brewed wine. Look, this is the best Fen wine, authentic brewed wine."

Zhou Changming rubbed his hands and said, "Secretary Yuan, don't embarrass me, you know my grandfather's temper..."

Yuan Guishan interrupted him and said: "I know, I go in alone, if he wants to scold me, he can scold me." Then he pushed open the door of the main room and walked in.

There were a lot of people sitting inside, three or five sitting around talking together, Zhou Yunyi waving a cattail leaf fan, sitting next to the back door talking with Sun Chengye, the two of them smiled and nodded from time to time.There are two large round tables in the center of the main room, rice bowls and chopsticks have been placed on the edge of the table, four bottles of grain wine are placed in the center, and the food has not been served yet.

When Yuan Guishan opened the door, Zhou Weiming and Zhou Chong came out of the kitchen with two large bowls of fruit. Zhou Weiming greeted everyone to eat fruit as they walked.Some people stood up and ate fruit from the plate, while others sat still.

Zhou Chong trotted up to Zhou Yunyi and Sun Chengye with a plate in his hand, and said, "Daddy, Mr. Sun, eat some fruit."

Zhou Yunyi picked up a banana and saw Yuan Guishan and Zhou Changming in the middle of the room, staggering to stand up.

Seeing this, Yuan Guishan walked over quickly with a smile, held Zhou Yunyi's shoulders to prevent him from standing up, held the wine brought in front of Zhou Yunyi, bent down, and said loudly: "Secretary Zhou, I wish you a happy birthday! I know You like to drink a glass of wine, I brought you two bottles of wine, please accept it!"

"Secretary Yuan, come as soon as you come, don't bring anything." Zhou Yunyi didn't take the drink, turned to Zhou Changming and said, "Changming, bring a chair for Secretary Yuan to sit on."

Zhou Changming moved a chair, took the wine in Yuan Guishan's hand, put it aside and said, "Secretary Yuan, sit down, the wine is here, and you can take it back later."

Yuan Guishan looked at Zhou Yunyi and said, "Secretary Zhou, this is Fenjiu. It's brewed. I've kept it for seven or eight years. It's a good wine. I'll eat it later."

Zhou Yunyi said: "I always eat homemade wine."

After speaking, he tore the banana into his mouth and ate it.

Zhou Changming walked up to Zhou Yunyi and said, "Master, look, this Secretary Yuan..."

Zhou Yunyi smiled, and said, "Everyone is here, and you're driving them out! Add more bowls and chopsticks."

Sun Chengye also laughed at the side.

The dishes were all served, and the women who were cooking in the stove room also entered the main room.Zhou Changming invited everyone to the table, but he didn't see Tang Debiao, so he asked Zhou Chong to invite Tang Debiao from the miscellaneous room in the yard, then walked to Zhou Yunyi's side, helped him up, and sent him to the top seat to sit down, and then asked Sun Chengye and Yuan Guishan to sit on both sides of Zhou Yunyi .After Tang Debiao came, Zhou Changming asked him to sit next to Yuan Guishan, but Tang Debiao went to sit at another table without making a sound. No matter how Zhou Changming invited him, Zhou Changming had no choice but to go with him.After arranging a group of guests to sit down one by one, he went to sit directly opposite Zhou Yunyi.Zhou Chong sat at another table with four colleagues and others.

Zhou Changming stood up, raised his glass and said, "Today is my father's [-]th birthday. I wish my father a happy birthday! May the old man live longer than Nanshan and be as blessed as the East China Sea!"

Finished talking and drank the wine.Everyone also said blessings in their mouths, drinking and eating.

Yuan Guishan filled the wine, picked up the wine glass, stood up and walked to Zhou Yunyi's side, and said, "Secretary Zhou, I toast you a glass of wine."

Yuan Guishan turned back to his seat after drinking, but before he could sit down, there was a knock on the back door, and everyone turned their heads to look at the back door.Zhou Changming signaled Zhou Chong to open the door.Zhou Chong ran over and opened the door.

Yuan Wuhua rushed in, and said loudly with a smile, "Hey, is it time to eat?"

Yuan Guishan took a look, put down his wine glass, and scolded: "Wuhua, why are you so rude! Congratulate Secretary Zhou on his birthday, and wish him a happy birthday!"

Upon hearing this, Yuan Wuhua smiled and said to Zhou Yunyi several times: "Happy birthday to Secretary Zhou! Happy birthday to Secretary Zhou!"

Yuan Guishan was embarrassed, and continued to yell: "What are you doing here! Go back!"

Yuan Wuhua said, "I'm here to send money to Weiming."

Zhou Changming got up and said, "Wuhua, come, let's eat first. Zhou Chong, bring the bowls and chopsticks for Brother Wuhua."

Zhou Chong responded.

Yuan Guishan said, "Thank you, Uncle Chang Ming."

Yuan Wuhua scratched his head and smiled, "Thank you, Uncle Changming." He walked over and sat down beside Zhou Chong.

At this time, Sun Chengye and Liu Liping got up and came to Zhou Yunyi to toast.Sun Chengye said: "Secretary Zhou, the two of us respect you." He raised his glass and drank.

Zhou Yunyi smiled happily, picked up the wine glass and took a sip, put down the glass, Sun Chengye took the wine pot and poured it for him again, and was about to leave when Zhou Yunyi held him back.

Zhou Yunyi picked up the wine glass and said to Sun Chengye: "Chengye, I would like to toast you too. Your paper mill is doing well! What's more, the environmental protection work of the paper mill is doing well! This is where I am most satisfied and happiest. .I did it, you can do whatever you want."

Sun Chengye hastily filled himself with wine, raised his head and finished it, and said, "Secretary Zhou, I really dare not take such a compliment from you!"

Zhou Yunyi went on to say: "Your father and I are like brothers. He is ten years older than me, but it is a pity that he is gone. Otherwise, he would definitely be here on an occasion like today. I have always regarded you as a son in my heart, and I don't want us to become friends." In-laws! Chengye, Weiming is still naive, you know, I gave birth to him in my [-]s, his mother left early, I am too spoiled for him. He has a strong personality and is competitive, you need to discipline him more .Of course, he is with you, I can rest assured!"

Sun Chengye said: "Don't worry, I'm taking care of him now! This kid is savvy and quick to learn."

Zhou Yunyi said: "Come on, Cheng Ye, fill up the wine."

After hearing this, Sun Chengye took the jug and poured wine for Zhou Yunyi. He knew that Zhou Yunyi had a lot of alcohol, so this little wine would be fine.

Zhou Yunyi picked up his wine glass and said, "Success, I still want to respect you. Wushan Village will help you, and you will get 10,000+ dividends every year. You don't need to pay the villagers' overall planning and retention, and the collective still has some income. You still do charity every year..."

After hearing this, Sun Chengye interrupted Zhou Yunyi with a smile: "Secretary Zhou, these are the foundations you laid. Isn't that right, Secretary Yuan?"

After finishing speaking, Sun Chengye looked at Yuan Guishan.Yuan Guishan said with a smile: "Yes, what Boss Sun said is the truth, I can help you! Come on, Secretary Zhou, let me toast you and wish you a happy birthday! Today, Wushan can become the wealthiest village in Huangqiao. , you really have worked hard!"

Zhou Yunyi listened, put down his wine glass, the smile in his eyes disappeared, he sighed a long time, and said, "Oh! Secretary Yuan, if there were no paper mills by the Qinxi River, then I would really have made a lot of hard work!"

Yuan Guishan nodded and agreed, "That is, that is."

Sun Chengye said: "Come here, Secretary Zhou, you drink, Secretary Yuan toasts you!"

Zhou Yunyi picked up his wine glass and said, "Secretary Yuan, I don't blame you. You have your difficulties too. I know all of these. You are a nice person. In recent years, even though I was sick in bed, the outside situation has remained the same. I know a little bit. Wushan has done a good job these years and has been making progress. Also, you come to see me every Chinese New Year and holiday. If you are interested, I want to thank you too!"

After finishing speaking, he clinked glasses with Yuan Guishan and drank the wine.

Yuan Guishan smiled and said, "Oh, Secretary Zhou, your words are the greatest praise for me! I can sleep soundly when I go back."

After speaking, he held the cup with both hands and drank it up.

"However, Secretary Yuan, you still have to think of a way to control those factories by the Qinxi River! It's not good for them to do that! This place is the land of our descendants!" Zhou Yunyi looked into Yuan Guishan's eyes and said, " Don't blame me. When there is no water in the river, Jinjin Paper Mill and Qianghua Paper Mill cannot produce. I am not embarrassing you, but your two paper mills are too close to the bay, and the water discharged within two days It stinks."

Yuan Guishan heard this and said: "Secretary Zhou, I know that I won't produce if there is no water in the river! We have not produced in the paper factory for almost two months!"

Zhou Weiming and Sun Yifang got up and came to Zhou Yunyi's side, raised their glasses and said, "Happy birthday to my father!"

Zhou Yunyi said worriedly: "Yifang, you can't eat alcohol!"

Sun Yifang was eight months pregnant, and said with a smile, "Master, there is mineral water in my glass."

The two did it first, and Zhou Yunyi also drank it in one gulp.

Zhou Changming got up and went to Zhou Yunyi's side, and said, "Grandpa, why don't you drink a couple of glasses?"

Zhou Yunyi said, "Okay, serve me a bowl of rice."

Seeing that Tang Debiao was not drinking at the other table, Zhou Changming was a little surprised, walked over and said, "Fourth Brother De, have you not been drinking?"

Tang Debiao smiled and said, "Qingqing has gone to the county seat, and there is no one to take care of her at home. I will go back after dinner."

Zhou Changming asked: "Qingqing went to the county seat? Is there something wrong?"

Tang Debiao hesitated for a moment and said, "It's all right."

Zhou Changming nodded and said, "Fourth Brother De, eat slowly."
