My 1991.

Chapter 129, Chain Reaction ([-] in [-])

A lot of relatives came here today, and Lu An, Li Dong, and Ye Run all stayed at the branch secretary's house when they went to bed at night.

The next day was a good day, the weather was fine and clear, and the banquet was held in my yard without worrying about rain.

As Meng Wenjie said, after 10 o'clock in the morning, Meng Qingchi came, along with Li Meng.

Lu An poured 5 cups of herbal tea and gave it to Li Meng first: "Aunt Meng, I came here on a hot day, it's been a hard journey."

Li Meng looked at him, then at the little girl beside him, nodded and smiled, which means that a fool can understand it, and everything is silent.

Meng Qingshui was a little shy by his sister-in-law, but he didn't hide.Because there was a voice in her heart telling her that on this occasion, she couldn't hide.

The last cup of herbal tea was handed over to Meng Qingchi, Lu An's eyes were dimly lit, and he asked involuntarily, "Sister Qingchi, why did you come so far away?"

Looking at each other, Meng Qingchi immediately felt the exuberant flame hidden deep in his pupils, and said quietly: "Xiao An, you have been admitted to university and you are building a new house. This is a double blessing. It is rare. Sister must come .”

After taking a sip of tea, she suddenly praised: "The photo of you and Qing Shui is very good, the lotus is beautiful, and the person is even more beautiful."

At this time, the sister-in-law said: "My mother and I also said that we have a husband and wife relationship last night."

Dizzy, completely dizzy.

My sister-in-law doesn't understand, can you stop meddling, can you drink tea properly.

Lu An's heart was a little broken, but he was still talking and laughing on his face, and asked along the way: "The group photo I just took yesterday, has the photo been developed?"

Meng Qingshui said sweetly: "My sister-in-law is going to open a photo studio. She has been learning how to take photos and develop photos for the past six months."

Lu An patted his forehead, and he actually forgot about it. Wasn't this sister-in-law's main business in the previous life taking pictures?

Li Meng finished drinking tea, put the cup on the table, got up and said to Lu An: "Come on, the scenery was good yesterday, let's take a family portrait."

When the future mother-in-law greeted her, Lu An dared not obey, and immediately led the way like a dog.

Meng Qingchi and Meng Wenjie went out to call Lu Yan and Song Jia.

Lu Yan put down what she was doing and came over, but Song Jia couldn't find anyone.

After searching for a while without finding it, everyone gave up tacitly. No one is a fool, and their hearts are very clear. This Song Jiayi must have escaped.There is a high probability that she will be with Yan Jingjing.

As an elder, Li Meng naturally stood in the C position.

Lu An wanted to stand with Meng Qingchi, but the latter smiled at him and didn't make it clear to avoid it.But Li Meng didn't give in. He stretched out his hand and pulled him and Meng Qingshui together.

After Meng Qingshui returned to the team, under the persistent instigation of his sister-in-law, he stretched out his hand shyly to hold Lu An's arm, and the two clung to each other to complete the group photo.

Meng Qingchi in the back row looked at the intimacy between the two, with a heartfelt smile on his face.

As for Lu Yan, seeing her younger brother getting so close to Meng Qingshui, the Meng family didn't seem to object, but instead looked happy to see it happen. While she couldn't help being excited, she also thought about how she should interact with the Meng family in the future.
At least in her opinion, it's not enough to make do as before, and you have to move around frequently during the New Year.

At this moment, Lu Yan's mind was active, and she began to make early plans for her younger brother's marriage.

According to the rules, there are usually two meals for a banquet, one meal the night before and one meal the next morning.

However, in order to take care of distant relatives and prevent the food from going bad, the customary dinner and breakfast the next day were changed to be eaten within a day, namely: lunch and dinner.

After taking pictures and talking about homework, Lu Yan rushed home non-stop to help.

Lu An took the Meng family to the opposite tea mountain for a stroll.

He always wanted to have a few words of his own with Meng Qingchi, but the latter took care of his sister's feelings very much and insisted on not giving him a chance to be alone.

This made Lu Ann so depressed that even his eyes were full of resentment.

Watching him kick the small stones on the ground far away, Meng Qingchi smiled, then turned his head to admire the tea mountain, and continued to ignore it, as if he didn't see it.

The little uncle is a well-known expert in the neighborhood. Under his arrangement, those who carry water, chop firewood, wash vegetables, cook, clear the table, wash the dishes, help the kitchen, set off firecrackers, There is a lot of work inside and outside, such as ordering dishes, making tea, welcoming and sending off, but it is orderly and meticulous, and there is no mistake in the bustle.

At 12:28 noon, the banquet began.

Lu Ann followed behind his little uncle, offering cigarettes and toasting.There are 18 tables in the banquet, although three of them are half-old children, but he is not ambiguous at all.Starting from the first table under the altar, one table after another paid homage, his face was pale from drinking, and his calves couldn't stop shaking. If Meng Qingchi hadn't seen the opportunity to mix him with sweet wine and boiled water, he would probably have been punished by these old people on the spot. Disrespectful old guys get drunk.

He thought about evading it, but as the only son of the Lu family, he had built a new house and was admitted to a university. How could he shirk this glass of wine?
If you are not cheerful enough as a master, how can others be happy?The current neighborhood relationship is not like the later generations, it is still very pure, the big guys love this tune, of course we can't disappoint.

I had no choice but to bite the bullet and drink.

When he blushed from drinking, and when his body was crooked from drinking, the eldest uncle finally took over the scene and began to compete with those people.

"How are you, Xiao An? Do you have a headache? Do you want to go to bed for a while?"

Helping him to the reclining chair in the backyard, Meng Qingchi asked with concern.

Lu An slumped on the chair and said, "My head is fine. I'll go back to the banquet after I rest. People are having a lively meal, so it's no big deal if I leave."

He was really drunk, but a small part of it was just pretending.

When you are away from home, the rivers and lakes are dangerous, if you don't know how to pretend, you are not a fool.

Meng Qingchi thought for a while and said, "Then you rest here, and I'll get you a bowl of onion and ginger soup to sober up."

"Okay, thank you, Miss Qingchi."

Meng Qingchi said, "You've already called me sister, so why should I thank you?"

Hearing this, Lu An took the opportunity to rush up: "I don't want to call you sister."

Sensing his eager eyes and listening to what he said, Meng Qingchi was silent, then reached out to close his eyelids, and walked away with a smile.

Hey, it's still like this oily and salty look...

Lu Ann sighed, didn't think about anything, closed his eyes and began to refresh himself.

A few minutes later, he smelled a scent of onion and ginger, and opened his eyes only to find that Meng Qingshui came in with a bowl of soup.

Before he could speak, she explained softly: "My sister was dragged away by your sister-in-law to drink, and she couldn't leave. Let me bring it here. Are you okay?"

"Don't worry, it's fine." Lu An took the soup and drank it.

To be honest, he had expected this result a long time ago, and he was not surprised that the person in front of him would be replaced by Shimizu.

After drinking some hangover soup and resting for a while, Lu An came back to life and returned to the banquet alive and kicking.

Wei Fangyuan looked him up and down: "How did you manage to drink so well? Why haven't I seen you drink so well before?"

"Tsk, I can do a lot."

Lu Ann slapped haha ​​to perfunctory the past, and then asked her: "Do you want me to drink with you?"

Wei Fangyuan shook his head in fright: "Don't drink it, I've already drank half a glass of rice wine with Ye Run, and my head is buzzing now, making me uncomfortable."

Lu An said: "Don't you want to be a host in the future? There is no one in the system who doesn't drink. You have to practice, you have to practice hard."

Wei Fangyuan flattened his mouth: "I'll talk about it later, I can't drink now. If you don't enjoy it, I'll call my dad and my uncle to accompany you."

Lu An just kept talking, why would he want to drink now? After bringing Meng Qingshui back to his seat, he walked over to Ye Run and Li Dong and asked, "Does the food suit your taste?"

Li Dong's face was flushed at the moment, his mouth was full of oil, and he replied while stuffing the meat: "It's delicious, don't talk to me, I'm enjoying it."

Lu An was speechless, this stuff is completely like Dongpo jerky, and he only picks fat ones to eat, the fat meat is delicious.

Ye Run asked him: "Can you cook this Dongpo pork?"

Lu An nodded: "Yes, the principle is similar to making braised pork, but the process is much more complicated and the taste is better."

Ye Run said: "Teach me when I have time."

That's what he was waiting for, Lu An hesitantly said, "Success, I'll teach you when I get to Jinling."

He didn't drink in the second half of the trip. Meng Qingshui cheated and drank plain water mixed with sweet wine, which smelled like wine. When he drank it, there was only sweetness in his mouth, and he was not intoxicated at all. He fooled everyone else.

The little uncle is shrewd and the eldest uncle is bold. Since taking over the field, he has made a huge amount of rice wine, at least two catties, and ended up lying unconscious on the bed, snoring so loudly, and the passing bitches have to be careful with their tails. Pregnant.

Lu Yan was also drunk, and Song Jia had been taking care of her.

After the relatives left, and after the Meng family was sent away, Lu An slapped him with all his brains: "Where did you hide? You can't find anyone for a day?"

Song Jia pretended to be wronged: "Brother has a woman, do you still care about my sister?"

Lu An was puzzled again when he heard it: "What kind of woman is not a woman? If you don't learn well at a young age, it's all nonsense."

Song Jia covered her head and asked for discussion: "Brother, why don't we change to a sister-in-law, Meng Qingshui is too beautiful, I'm afraid you won't be able to bear it in the future."

Lu An raised his hand and thought again: "It's full of absurdity again, who do you want to replace?"

Song Jia learned her lesson this time, and took two steps back and muttered: "I think Sister Fang Yuan and Ye Run are both very good, and whoever they are my sister-in-law can tell me."

Lu An rolled his eyes: "You will marry someone in the future, and it will be your husband who will live with you, so you don't have to worry about my affairs."

Walking out of the big sister's bedroom, Lu Ann was called away by the little uncle.

The little uncle took out the accounting book, and while pulling the beads of the abacus, he said: "You read it, and I will do the abacus. Let's reconcile the accounts."

Lu An was too lazy to move: "No need to be wrong, as much as you want, little uncle, you will not harm me."

At this time, my sister-in-law spoke up next to me: "Trust is trust, but one yard is one yard. I don't know how to count, Xiao An, read it quickly, and go back to rest early after the account is complete before dark."

Having said all this, Lu An couldn't be more hypocritical and started counting.

In fact, anyone can read this number, but my uncle asked him to read it, just to show that the other party is open and frank, and did not play tricks on the number of money.

There are a lot of expenses and income in the accounts, and the details are written down for about 20 pages. It took more than half an hour for several people to count together.

At a certain moment, the little uncle pulled the abacus beads and said, "It's a loss."

Lu An knew it well, it was a strange thing that the rural banquets did not lose money.

People pay four yuan and two yuan with the gift, and you have to return a piece of gift for such a red wedding event.

Then there are 18 large bowls per table, and each bowl is full of hard vegetables, plus tobacco, alcohol, towels, peanut cakes and wedding candies, and the custom stipulates that two people come from each family, but they are all from the villagers. Well, when many families are dispatched, they are all a big family of men, women, old and young. How can the gift money be enough? It's not good enough at all.

The aunt asked, "How much did you lose?"

The little uncle pointed to the abacus and said: "Here, the total loss is 371 yuan and 8 cents."

371 yuan and 8 cents may not sound eye-catching at first glance, but these days, a rural person may not be able to earn so much in three months.

The aunt and sister felt pain for a while, but they didn't say it out of their mouths.

Lu An, on the other hand, took it easy, and comforted him with a smile: "If you lose money, you will lose money. This little money is worth nothing. It's good to be lively. Look at what's going on here today. It's a style. Who won't praise our old Lu?" The house is open and bright, who wouldn't praise our aunt and uncle for being generous and capable of doing things?"

Having said that, my aunt and sister-in-law were very happy.

The little uncle also rolls a white cigarette proudly, and puffs on.

Regardless of the money, their natal family is so rich, and they have pride in their faces.

As the saying goes, broken bones are still connected. Although they were married, they never regarded themselves as outsiders. The banquet held today can be done well in ten miles and eight towns. They are praised by others and have a reputation. I feel at ease.

After the accounts were settled, Lu An took Song Jia, Ye Run and Li Dong together, and followed her aunt and uncle to deliver food from door to door. This is the rule, and leftovers should be delivered to every household.Especially for those who came to help the kitchen in the past two days, the servings were more.

Li Dong stared greedily: "A lot of them haven't been eaten yet, why don't you just give them away?"

Lu An asked with a smile, "Are you still full?"

Li Dongmeng nodded, and shouted like you are so stupid: "Who thinks too much meat? Who can eat enough? After this meal, you still want to eat it."

Lu An said: "Then you pick and choose what you like to eat and keep it. If you don't give it away, it will turn rancid. The temperature is so high."

Li Dong picked a large pot of beef and several bowls of Dongpo meat and put them by the well to keep cool, then patted his swollen stomach and shouted:
"Brother, rest your stomach first, let's eat supper at night, come here and never get drunk."

"Success." As for his drinking capacity, Lu Anna didn't pay attention at all, it was just a glass of rice wine.

Then he asked Ye Run and Song Jia: "How about you two, why don't you pick some too, and keep what you like?"

Ye Run likes to eat Sanhe soup, so he reserves a bowl for it.

Song Jia was so heartbroken that she kept four or five bowls of everything, saying that she had suffered a lot before and she wanted to make up for it this time.

Hearing this, Lu An was both funny and sad, the old Lu's house was indeed too shabby in the past, his mother hadn't eaten decent meat a few times.

Some of the leftovers were given away, and the two aunts also took some away. The crowded kitchen suddenly became empty. Looking at the 20 or so bottomed-out vegetable buckets, Song Jia was still distressed, but because of her brother's Classmates and friends are here, so I didn't say much.

Lu Yan woke up at night, and when she learned that she had lost so much, she couldn't help muttering: "It's really a loss of money to run wine, it's a loss."

Then she comforted herself in her heart: It's okay, I'm building a new house, my younger brother is going to college, anyway, it's just this time, if I want to do it, I'll fight for face.

However, Lu Yan was very considerate of giving away leftovers, and in turn pulled Song Jia to comfort her.

After supper, Li Dong went to the canteen opposite to watch playing cards. There were people playing cards every night, and there were several tables every night. Older people were fine, and they just had fun with little money to kill time.

But young people are different. They often fight very hard. Some have lost pigs, some have lost food, and some have lost their children's tuition.Someone who borrowed money from a credit union lost money, fled outside and never dared to come back.

In the past two years, there was something even more outrageous. Some people lost their wives.

Ye Run followed him for a walk and secretly asked, "Your family must have had a hard time before."

Knowing why she asked, Lu Ann looked up at the starry sky, "It's bitter, very bitter."

When passing by the branch secretary's house, Wei Fangyuan joined the walk to leave the army, and she asked Ye Run, "When will you and Li Dong return to Shaoshi?"

Ye Run looked at Lu An.

Lu An counted the time and said, "It's August 8th, and your family will hold a school banquet tomorrow. After eating your wedding banquet, you will leave, and you will leave the morning after tomorrow."

Wei Fangyuan asked him, "Are you going to Baoqing together?"

Lu An nodded: "Yes, I have to go to Meng's house, how about you? When will you go to the capital to report?"

Wei Fangyuan thought for a while and said, "Then I'll go with you the day after tomorrow and stay at Sister Baoqing's place for a few days, and then fly to the capital on the 1st."

"Okay, so we have a companion."

After walking around the reservoir, Wei Fangyuan suddenly said, "Lu An, I haven't heard you play the flute or the erhu for a long time. The weather is so cool tonight, why don't you show your hand."

Ye Run's eyes lit up. She hadn't seen Lu An perform before, so she looked at him intently.

Seeing the expectant faces of the two, Lu An didn't disappoint, turned around and walked back: "Sure, the flute is broken, it was bitten by a mouse, and it can't be used anymore. Let's play the erhu tonight."

In fact, the erhu is almost finished, and it has reached the point where it is dying, but the tune bar is still barely usable.

This evening, Lu An was in a good mood and played a dozen or so tunes in succession on the grass by the reservoir.

Ye Run and Wei Fangyuan like to listen to "Looking Back Again". They think of high school graduation. In the quiet night, in the unique tone of the erhu, tears are almost heard.

But when they heard the cheerful disco song "Chain Reaction", the two begged him to play it again, and the second daughter felt very novel.

This night, the three of them didn't go back to bed until very late. Before leaving, Ye Run asked him: "The flute sounds better, or the erhu?"

Lu An said: "It's a score. Some people like the mellowness of the erhu, while others prefer the melodiousness of the flute."

The next day, Lu An took Li Dong and Ye Run to eat Wei Fangyuan's entrance wine.

This is the case in rural areas these days, and it is extremely difficult to become a college student.Sometimes there is no one for several years, so it is really amazing to hear that someone's children are admitted to university. It usually only takes three to five days to become famous all over the world from obscurity.

The branch secretary was very happy. Although he didn't have a son under his name, he gave away both daughters.

The eldest daughter is now working as a nurse at Baoqing Hospital of Traditional Chinese Medicine after finishing medical school.The youngest daughter is even more promising, and she has gone to the capital for the exam. She drank a lot of wine, and she would not refuse anyone who came, and she got drunk for life.

8 month 26 day.

Before dawn, Lu Ann got up to pack his things.In fact, he didn't want to bring anything. Apart from the necessary documents, he just picked up a few clothes, which was very simple.

Anyway, if you have money in your pocket, you can buy it if you need it. Although Jinling is not as prosperous as the Shanghai stock market and the capital city, it has a lot of money, doesn't it?There seemed to be no shortage of things he needed.

Lu Yan cooked the meals early in the morning, and then enthusiastically called Wei Fangyuan over, asking them to eat together and leave later.

After dinner, the group took a walking tractor to the town.Song Jia was reluctant and insisted on following.

When Lu Ann was about to board the bus, the girl suddenly burst into tears.

Lu An reached out and touched her head, and said with a smile: "Study hard, my second brother will write to you every month, and send you living expenses. You don't need to save on living expenses. It's time to grow your body, so eat as much as you want. "

"Understood, second brother."

Song Jia wiped the corners of her eyes with her sleeve, and said goodbye to several people one by one.

Lu An finally said to Lu Yan: "Sister, then I'm leaving, and I'll rely on you to look after the house, don't be too tired."

Lu Yan didn't make a sound, but just followed the bus for a long way, until she couldn't catch up, she stood by the side of the road, her body was straight like a pole.

The mountain road was winding, and the journey was unhurried. When we arrived at the county seat, it was just bright.

Several people got out of the car and changed cars, and it took another hour to reach Guifei Lane.

Just at the entrance of the alley, Lu An heard someone yelling, "Go to Chengnan Park to watch the public judgment meeting!"

Hearing the sound, all the men, women and children in Guifei Lane shouted, stopped chatting and talking, and ran to Chengnan Park.

Lu An was a little dazed, stopped an old man and asked, "Master, what kind of public judgment conference? Who should be judged?"

Although the uncle is old, he still has the heart to watch the excitement, and he danced and said, "Who else is there? Of course it is the biggest gangster in Baoqing, the boss of Anhong Mining Company."

Anhong Mining Company?

Several people looked at each other, isn't this the company that ruined Li Rou's family?
Thinking of his best friend Li Rou, Wei Fangyuan spoke first: "I'm going to see it."

Knowing that she wanted to confirm some news, Lu Ann told her, "Put the bag at home first, and I'll go with you."

Li Dong loves playing the most, and immediately said excitedly: "I will go too."

As a result, all four of them went.

Chengnan Park is some distance away from Guifei Lane, and it took the four of them more than 20 minutes to get there.

At this time, the scene was already crowded with people, and at first glance, it was full of black heads, and there were all kinds of noise and noise.

It took a long time for several people to find a place to stay. Looking up, there were two rows of people standing on the platform built in the center of Chengnan Park.A rough count, no less than 30, are all criminals.

"Women, and women."

The four of them, Lu An, settled down, and the big mom next to them was chatting with someone, pointing and pointing while eating melon seeds, saliva flying all over the place.

The four of them looked along the line of sight of the aunt, and actually saw several women on the far right.

One of them was actually an acquaintance, Yang Lianhua.Her hands were tied behind her back, but her head was not shaved.

It's a pity that the people in front were too gambled to squeeze through, and couldn't see Yang Lianhua's facial expression clearly at the moment.

Fortunately, the loudspeaker at the scene was loud enough to cover the noise of the crowd.

After listening for a while, several people finally heard the public trial of Yang Lianhua: Yang Lianhua, theft, intentional injury, harboring murderer, trafficker.

Hearing these four items, Lu An and Wei Fangyuan were stunned. This is their junior high school alumnus. He has been charged with crimes at a young age, so he probably won't even have to go to jail now.

Later, I heard the crimes of the boss of Anhong Mining Company: Wu Zhiyou, murder, robbery, trafficking in D, organizing gangsters to disrupt society.
There were too many crimes, and before he finished listening, Li Dong said in shock: "This person is finished, he is finished, he must be shot."

After listening to the public trial of more than 20 leaders of Anhong Company, the crowd was numb. How the hell is there a trial? These hooligans are innocent.

After the public trial, the final sentence was heard over the loudspeaker.

Yang Lianhua, executed immediately.

Wu Zhiyou, the death penalty, shall be executed immediately.

After listening to a series of final results, the group did not follow the crowd to watch the execution in the suburbs, because they were really afraid of being shadowed.

After breaking away from the main force, the four of them seemed a little silent on the way back.

Wei Fangyuan obviously hadn't recovered from the shock, and he said after a long time, "It's all right now, Li Rou doesn't have to hide anymore, all the gangsters in Anhong Company have been shot, and she shouldn't have any more nightmares."

Li Dong asked a question that several people wanted to know but knew nothing about:

"Then Wu Zhiyou is so powerful and rampant, how dare Li Rou's family offend him?"

The other three stared at Li Dong for a while, then shook their heads together.

When Lu An went to Meng's house, as expected, Meng Qingchi hid in Changshi as expected.

Meng Wenjie was unexpectedly at home.

Lu Ann sat over and asked, "Why didn't you go to work?"

"I'm here on business in Baoqing today, and I'm going home by the way."

Meng Wenjie said, then sized him up and asked, "What's wrong with you, with such an expression?"

LuAnn said, "I just came back from Chengnan Park."

Meng Wenjie asked: "A public judgment meeting?"

"Correct."

Lu Ann nodded, suddenly thought of something, and asked, "Are you sending out all your acquaintances?"

Meng Wenjie said yes, and then looked at him suspiciously.

Lu An said the names of Li Rou's father, her brother, and the first time they met, "Check for me, do these people have any criminal records?"

Meng Wenjie didn't ask him why he did this, but readily agreed.

Half an hour later, Meng Wenjie waited for a call, and the other party told him that Li Rou's father had a criminal record, but Li Rou's brother was clean.

Putting down the phone, Meng Wenjie said, "This is my first meeting, and I haven't registered it at the police station."

No record?
Lu An was a little taken aback, then relieved.

These days street bastards usually don't call the police when they fight. If they lose, they lose.

Meng Qingshui came over with a pot of herbal tea, and later cut a plate of watermelon and put it on the coffee table, and said softly, "I start school on the 3rd."

Lu An understood her words almost instantly: "Then we will leave on the 1st, and I will take you to school."

"Ah."

Hearing that he understood what he meant, Meng Qingshui hummed with a smile, and picked a piece of the best watermelon in red soil and handed it to him.

Meng Wenjie saw the younger sister's behavior and sighed: "I haven't married yet, my arms started to turn out."

Meng Qingshui's face was hot, and he turned to pick a piece of watermelon for his elder brother.
