20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 440 Night Talk
Xiaohua was slightly surprised when she heard the question.

She turned slightly sideways and glanced into the house before saying, "Chengye asked Mama Song to help look after it. Do you want him to come down too?"

"Oh, that's not necessary, as long as someone is watching." Jiang Lianheng nodded with peace of mind, and then greeted, "Let them start the banquet quickly!"

This is a bit confusing to say.

Is it possible that the young master of the Jiang family can't be cared for by anyone?
It seemed like a careless sentence, but when everyone heard it, they couldn't help but look at each other, and felt the change in Jiang Lianheng's state of mind.

With that said, the banquet begins.

The Jiang family specially hired a kitchen team specializing in making banquets, and started setting up a tent in the yard in the afternoon.

After the opening ceremony, the kitchen team entered the courtyard, heated up the oil in the pot, and started frying and frying, all with skillful and agile movements.

Not long after, chicken, duck, fish, and cauliflower stew were served to the round table one after another.

The courtyard was very quiet. Except for Jiang Lianheng's table, which was still chatting and joking, the other tables were filled with the sound of "tat-tat-tap-tat" swallowing.

Everyone stood up to watch him off, and only sat down again after seeing his host passing through the entrance hall.

Everyone couldn't help but be stunned and speechless, Wen Tingge was even slightly startled, and his expression was inevitably a little embarrassed.

Xiaohua quickly lifted the wine cup with both hands and said respectfully: "Sister-in-law, let me respect you."

There was a sudden clang in the courtyard.

"Chengye, I am your father, you know this, right?"

But Li Zhengxi stood up from the table, lifted up his pants, and said nonchalantly: "Brothers, please drink first while I go pee!"

After being silent for a long time, Jiang Lianheng picked up the tea bowl on the table, moistened his throat, and started to convulse.

With a calm face, she quietly looked down at the people in the courtyard, and a happy smile suddenly appeared on the corner of her mouth.

How can we share glory and wealth?
Everyone worships the mountain and works hard, in the final analysis, just for the bowl of rice in front of them.

"Sit here, why are you calling your mother?"

Wang Zhengnan scratched his head and muttered: "Huh? My brother is not in good condition today. He didn't drink as much as I did."

At this moment, the autumn wind suddenly picked up, and the window curtains on the second floor of the mansion swayed gently, and Hu Xiaoyan's face loomed.

No one is stupid.

Seeing everyone chatting and laughing, Wen Tingge was eager to blend in, so he raised his glass and proposed: "Everyone, Mr. Wen is new here. Let me give you a toast first. Please take care of me in the future, brothers!"

"Yeah, yeah, don't look at how loud he screamed just now, but he actually doesn't drink well at all!" Wang Zhengnan also followed up with a few words to smooth things over.

…………

At the same time, in Xiaohua's bedroom.

There is no way, the world is like this.

After that, he turned around and walked away.

When Liu Yansheng saw this, he quickly came over to apologize and said with a smile: "Old Wen, don't worry too much, Xifeng is like this. He drank some wine and ran out of water. He probably drank enough and secretly vomited in the latrine."

The bedside lamp gave off a warm yellow halo. Jiang Lianheng, smelling of alcohol, sat upright on the chair and forced Jiang Chengye to do the same. He and his wife looked at me and I looked at you. In the intimacy, There seems to be an indescribable awkwardness.

"Put it down. I saw you spilling wine secretly just now." Li Zhengxi said, "Brother Dong, look at the bottom of your feet. I thought you peed!"

Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, there was a sudden "pop" on the wine table.

Even though he was still young, he could sense that something was not right in the atmosphere in the room, so he turned sideways to climb out of the chair and shouted "Mom" towards the door.

After two packs of cigarettes, everyone had food in their stomachs, and conversation and laughter gradually spread.

Jiang Lianheng drank a few rounds of wine, pushing glasses and changing glasses. Two hours had passed. He was already three-quarters of a trance, and now he was even seven-tenths of drunk. So he stood up and left the table. After a few simple instructions, he went to mind his own business. Stepping into the mansion.

All the brothers were concentrating on eating, paying close attention.

"Stop talking nonsense and pour the wine!" Zhao Guoyan urged.

The weather turned cooler and Jiang Chengye sniffed.

"Okay, okay." Everyone responded with smiles, "Be polite, we will all be brothers from now on."

Liu Yansheng immediately choked and complained: "Hey, Dongfeng, did you make a mistake? My cup has always been here, okay?"

Although Xue Yingqing had a smile in his eyes, he had no intention of chatting with anyone. He only turned his body sideways and smiled: "Hua'er, come on, let's have a drink?"

When people are online, they need to know what they are doing.

If one day he loses an arm or a leg, his mother is seriously ill, or his family is in trouble, as long as his boss can lend a hand to help with the situation, then even if the eldest brother's following is not in vain, he himself has not been living in vain all these years.

Xue Yingqing and Zhao Guoyan lifted the wine cups and took a sip.

Wen Tingge was dumbfounded for a moment, then laughed dryly twice and said, "Hey! People have three urgent needs. There is nothing to worry about. Come on, come on. Wen will do it first as a courtesy!"

The more you drink, the louder your words get. The only thing is, don't talk about state affairs.

Even the "Xiangzi" of the Jiang family doesn't have many opportunities to enjoy drinking and eating meat in this life.

The chatter and laughter around him became more and more noisy.

Zhang Zhengdong didn't blush or breath. He raised his hand and pointed: "Old Liu Sa's."

Although it is not that you are fighting for it and making people laugh, it is true that you are eating from the bowl, looking at the plate, and thinking about the pot.

Jiang Lianheng put his son back on the chair, immediately rolled up his sleeves, and said: "Okay, okay! Today, your father and I will set up a cabinet. Everyone in charge in our yard is considered a buddy, and I won't use my seniority to pressure you. Today I will make an exception and let you call me Lao Jiang."

"mom!"

"Don't call you mom, tell me if you have something to say!"

Jiang Chengye was too young, so he immediately curled up his lips, his eyes were panicked, and he was about to burst into tears at any moment.

Jiang Lianheng ignored it and asked, somewhat to himself: "Chengye, we are the only two in this room today. Please give me a solid answer. Do you want to take over my stall in the future? Or do you want to take over my business?" Want to take another path like that kid from the old Su family? "

"mom!"

"Hey! You're such a bastard. I'm not going to hit you. Why are you always shouting?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door opened with a sound.

The two men looked at the door at the same time, and it was none other than their daughter Jiang Ya.

When Jiang Chengye saw someone coming, he seemed to be grasping at straws and shouted quickly: "Sister, stay with me!"

Looking at the situation in the room, Jiang Ya was stunned, then her eyes lit up and she asked with a smile: "Dad, what are you two playing at? Take me with you!"

"What are you playing for!" Jiang Lianheng frowned immediately, "You little girl, you can be found everywhere, go, go, go to that room to play with your mother!"

Jiang Ya pouted as soon as she heard this. She didn't dare to enter the house, but she didn't want to leave either. She just stood there, picking at the door handle, and murmured in a sweet voice: "Then, I'll tell my aunt, You don’t want to play with me.”

"Oh, oh, you're still holding me down. If you don't leave, I'll beat you!" Jiang Lian threatened.

Jiang Ya still didn't want to leave, so she stood there facing the wall, motionless like a doormat.

Jiang Lianheng couldn't bear it, so he waved helplessly, "Okay, okay, don't just stand there, come over." "You wanted me to come in."

"Ah, yes, yes, I wanted you to come in."

Jiang Ya hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay, I'll play with you two for a while."

With that said, the little girl walked to Jiang Chengye's side under Jiang Lianheng's stunned gaze, struggled to climb onto the chair, lowered her head, and dangled her legs - she was not happy anymore.

With his sister by his side, Jiang Chengye was finally no longer so afraid, and he gradually became calmer on the chair.

"Hiss—" Jiang Lianheng couldn't help scratching his head, "No, you girl, who did you learn this trick from every day?"

In fact, Jiang Ya and Jiang Chengye are almost the same age.

The daughter was born one year early and was four years old in vain; the son was born in the twelfth lunar month and was two years old in vain but was also four years old.

However, Jiang Ya's precocious intelligence is a fact that is seen by the whole family.

When her younger brother Jiang Chengye was still not very good at speaking, she could already say a few "adult words" from time to time, which made the whole family applaud.

Every time at this time, Jiang Lianheng couldn't help but sigh - Girl, just follow me!

Unfortunately, it's a girl.

"What did I just say?" Jiang Lianheng thought carefully, "Yes, yes, Chengye, you are already quite old now. Look at you now, you eat and sleep every day, and you can tell for yourself ,Aren’t you a little heartless?”

"Sister." Jiang Chengye held Jiang Ya's arm helplessly.

"Don't call you sister, she will belong to someone else's family from now on, I'm asking you!"

Jiang Lianheng was in his drunken state, and Momo was dazed and chattering, saying a lot of words that the two children could not understand at all. He was talking to himself.

Although Jiang Ya didn't understand, when she saw her father's expression, something seemed to come to her mind, so she suddenly clapped her hands, put her hands on her hips, and sighed in a decent manner: "Oh, I drank too much again!"

"Don't talk like your mother!" Jiang Lianheng scolded him sternly.

At this moment, a "squeak" sound was heard, and the door was pushed open again.

The three of them turned their heads together and saw Hu Xiaoyan pushing a wheelchair to the door, frowning and looking inside with a somewhat dissatisfied expression.

"You must have drunk too much, what are you doing!"

Jiang Lianheng came to his senses and explained: "I'll chat with the two children for a while."

"What are you talking about!" Hu Xiaoyan immediately called the two children to her side, "Guoyan and the others are leaving, and they are waiting for you downstairs!"

"Oh, then I... will go down right now."

After saying that, Jiang Lian stood up unsteadily. When he came to the yard, he found that many of his brothers were already drunk, but since he himself had not drunk much in the first place, he suddenly sobered up when the cool breeze blew. Quite a few.

They said goodbye to each other, and after a while, except for Xiaohua, Dongfeng, Nanfeng and Xifeng, the others left one after another.

The courtyard also gradually changed from noisy and lively to deserted and quiet.

Song Ma led many servants and began to clean up the mess on the ground.

Jiang Lianheng stayed quietly at the door for a while. It wasn't until someone called him from behind that he came back to his senses.

"Lian Heng." Hu Xiaoyan waved to him at the top of the stairs, "Come in!"

Jiang Lianheng nodded, turned around and climbed up the stairs, pushing his wife's wheelchair into the master bedroom.

"What did you say to the two children just now?" Hu Xiaoyan asked.

"Hey! Actually, I didn't say anything!" Jiang Lianheng thought for a moment and then asked, "Daughter-in-law, do you think... can Chengye take over my job in the future?"

"How old is he? Isn't it a little early?" Hu Xiaoyan frowned, turned around and asked, "Besides, why don't you ask your daughter if she can?"

"As you said, she is a girl. Is it possible that I will return this little bit of family property to my uncle in the future?"

Hu Xiaoyan had no way to refute, and after pondering for a long time, she suddenly changed the subject and asked, "Why did you suddenly think of such a thing?"

Jiang Lianheng was stunned, shook his head, but said: "Don't you have to think about it sooner or later?"

He said it as if nothing had happened, but he could deceive others, but he could not deceive Hu Xiaoyan.

"Is it because of Wang Guihe's incident?"

"Huh? No, no, no, what does it have to do with him."

"You still don't admit it!" Hu Xiaoyan curled her lips, "Do you think I'm stupid? Ever since you came back from Wang Guihe's mountain, you are different from before. Are you scared?"

"Afraid?" Jiang Lianheng said disdainfully, "Who are we going to bury? I've never known how to write the word "fear" since I was a child!"

"I didn't say you were scared, I meant..." Hu Xiaoyan hesitated for a moment, then waved her hand quickly, "Forget it, don't mention that, it's still early!"

Just as they were talking, the two came to the window and saw the servants in the yard collecting leftovers.

Hu Xiaoyan suddenly turned around and asked, "By the way, did you notice anything during dinner today?"

"You mean Guo Yan and the others?" Jiang Lianheng asked.

"What else could it be?"

Jiang Lianheng nodded, thought for a moment, and then said: "Xifeng and Wen Tingge must be having trouble dealing with each other. Shopkeeper Xue doesn't want to talk to them at all. Zhao Guoyan only recognizes the old man. Nanfeng... he is polite to everyone. Yansheng and Wen Tingge come closer, Dongfeng...eh? Has Dongfeng served dinner today?"

Hu Xiaoyan rolled her eyes, but said, "I've been sitting opposite you since I ate."

"Really? Why don't I have any impression at all?"

"It doesn't matter at Si Fengkou. As for the others, don't let them get too close."

Jiang Lianheng waved his hand and said: "I know this, Zhou Yunfu was like this back then, but...he died in the end, and so did Wang Guihe."

"Aren't you still young?" Hu Xiaoyan comforted softly, "Besides, don't you think Su Wenqi is doing well now?"

Jiang Lianheng snorted coldly, but said: "He is doing well because he saved my father back then. I didn't plan to touch the Su family. Otherwise, all three Fengtian families would have been wiped out."

Hu Xiaoyan naturally understood this truth, but she didn't want to be too worried at this time.

After a moment of silence, Jiang Lianheng suddenly smiled.

"Daughter-in-law, now I know why my father always guarded his old buddies back then. He obviously had such a big man, but he always suppressed himself and lived guarding the one-third of an acre of land."

"Really?" Hu Xiaoyan asked knowingly.

Jiang Lianheng nodded solemnly, thinking about everything in the past, and suddenly said with emotion: "It was all true in the beginning, but when there are more brothers, everything becomes fake."

As he was talking, a figure in the yard caught his attention.

But he saw Li Zhengxi holding a few plates and folding some fish and meat leftovers at the table where the bosses had just been.

"Then what is that kid doing?" Jiang Lianheng frowned and asked, "Can't you live anymore or something?"

"Do you even need to ask?" Hu Xiaoyan smiled faintly, "Just wait and fan those little ones outside!"
