Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 256 Happy with the midnight meal, Xu Laowen rewarded the money
"Whose family is this? Midnight dinner is served early enough."

Xu Laowen went to the latrine and was startled as soon as he put on his trousers. He heard the tinkling of cannons, mixed with the crackling of small whips.

As soon as she entered the outhouse, she was blinded by white smoke. Liu Lizhen opened the lid of the pot, and a large amount of steam rose into the sky and quickly spread to the entire outhouse.

She asked Yan Li to put the dumplings in the pot onto a plate, and then Wang Shujuan took over to deliver them to the table in the east room. In front of the pot in the west room, Yang Shuhua was holding a long-handled spoon to heat up the remaining dishes at noon, and Han Fengjiao was mixing cold dishes in front of the cutting board. , Wu Qiuxia chopped garlic and red pepper and made dipping water.

After one dish after another and plates of dumplings were brought into the house, Xu Laowang hurriedly poured the remaining wine in the wine pot into the tea jar. Chai Binggong brought two pots in total, one pot had reached the bottom and the other was delivered. Went to Du Shoucai's house.

"Erli, I've got this little foundation now! I didn't enjoy the meal at noon, so I have to enjoy it tonight!"

Wang Erli raised his neck and said: "I have to! Brother, you are what you say. People who celebrate the New Year are just happy. Drink more and you won't do anything wrong."

After that, the two brothers looked at each other and laughed, both seeing the smile in each other's eyes.

Ever since these two brothers won money, the smiles on their faces have never stopped. They are very pleasing to everyone and praise anyone they catch. In the past hour or so, the two brothers have praised Xu Ning three times in total. , Xu Long twice, Wang Hu four times, Wang Biao six times, Liu Tianen five times, Xu Feng 12 times, and Jin Yu Man Tang eight times...

Liu Lizhen and others were all helpless, and she gnashed her teeth and cursed a few words, but it did not affect Xu Laowen's mood at all. The harder she scolded, the happier Xu Laowen was.

"Haha, that's it."

"Ah, that's right."

The midnight meal started at nearly eleven o'clock. The two brothers continued to drink until twelve o'clock. Nothing happened, but they were a little confused.

"Hurry up and grab a handful of marlezi and play it a few times to make your point."

"Satisfactory!" Xu Chunlin nodded heavily.

Boom! Boom!
Outside the courtyard gate, the Marlezi exploded and emitted a flash of light, shaking everyone in the room blinking their eyes. Xu Feng lay in front of the window sill with her butt raised, and Wang Shujuan, with her quick eyes and quick hands, slapped her buttocks twice.

"Got it."

"Da Ming, please be more careful and it will be fine."

Xianling means delicious.

Liu Daming nodded: "Okay, brother-in-law, let's just drink tonight and look at Diao Chan, and then pull her down?"

"Hey...donkey meat dumplings are so fragrant! I think they are more fragrant than venison." Liu Lizhen said as she took a bite of the dumplings.

"Why are you so anxious? This meal has to be eaten until midnight. Now that you've poured it down, can he pay for it?"

"It's so dazzling. Come back quickly and don't blind your eyes."

Arriving at the hospital, Xu Long greeted his younger brother and asked, "I see that you are not in a hurry. What are you thinking?"

"Drink! Come on, Erli, Dalong, Huzi, let's take a sip together."

After Liu Lizhen and Yang Shuhua entered the room and sat on the kang, everyone raised their glasses. Xu Laowen did not give a speech tonight because he had already finished speaking a few hundred words of words prepared at noon.

At that time, Xu Ning saw the smiling faces of his biological father and second uncle. His heart was filled with excitement, and he frequently looked at Xu Long, telling him not to forget.

Liu Lizhen turned her head and gave him a blank look, "Don't squeal. If I win some money, your grin will reach your heels."

Xu Feng pouted and turned around, approached Wang Shujuan, and patted Wang Shujuan's thigh twice with her little black paws. This little girl never suffered a loss.

Xu Ning smiled and said, "I'm sure you're interested, so why don't you drink one?"

Besides, there is a little naughty kid, so we must be careful about him...

Xu Long pushed open the door of the lower room and grabbed a handful of marlezi from the sack behind the door. There were about six or seven ringings, and the two of them played five ringings each.

Xu Laowen said: "Then what are you thinking about? There is a saying, dragon meat in the sky, donkey meat on the ground! This dragon meat is the flying dragon here, eh... I have eaten it three times since I was a child. That Xiaowei’er, it’s so refreshing all of a sudden.”

Wang Erli said with a smile: "That's all. In fact, the Communist Party didn't win much. Are you satisfied, brother?"

Xu Ning stood up and said, "I'll put it down, you guys use your chopsticks first."

Liu Daming said with a smile: "Brother-in-law, when my second nephew has time, he can go into the mountain and look for it, just in case he can fix it."

After Xu Ning and Xu Long entered the room, everyone sat down and toasted to celebrate the New Year again.

Xu Ning took a sip of the soda and put it down, then picked up the chopsticks to pick up the dumplings. He didn't look at Xu Long, and left Xu Long aside. He was so anxious that he wanted to make Xu Laowen stupid as soon as possible, and then he stretched out his hand...

"It's not like that. Just let others let go..."

"Hey, I'll go too." Xu Long stood up impatiently and chased Xu Ning out the door.

"Hey mom! Why didn't you set off the cannon?"

"Okay! Er Ning, please be more careful about this."

But Xu Ning's idea was completely opposite to his. This kind of thing needs to be done slowly, how can it be done carelessly?

"Jane, are you still on time? Let me tell you, you girls have to be on time. This is the Chinese New Year..."

"Hey, sister-in-law, you are so ghastly."

He didn't want others to know how much money he had in his pocket. Otherwise, if the ladies found out, how much money could he keep in his pocket? Wouldn't it all have to be confiscated by Liu Lizhen?

"Go away, kid, if you stay with me, I'll let you meet Concubine Yang tonight!"

Xu Laowen put down his wine glass, patted his thigh and said suddenly.

"There are fewer flying dragons now. The mountains are full of pheasants and there is not a single flying dragon."

"Haha, is it so obvious? Erli, look at my smile, is it obvious?"

Even if Xu Ning didn't remind him, Xu Long would definitely be cruel. Why? Because all his money was won by Xu Laowen!
And the purpose of Xu Ning's preparation for such an event is to get everyone to gather their hearts together and work together! Otherwise, what big thing can a piece of loose sand accomplish?

During this period, Xu Ning, Li Fuqiang, Wang Biao and others went out to set off another cannon, this time setting off two whips.

The crackling and clanging sounds frightened the five puppies in the kennel, Hualang and One-Eyed.

But the green wolves had nothing to do. They had seen the world, and this little movement was just a small scene, not a big deal at all.

When everyone returned to the house, they sat at the table and picked up their chopsticks and rice bowls to continue eating. Xu Long also received the reminder from Xu Ning's eyes. He raised his glass and said, "Dad, you have suffered a lot for our family. Er." Ning quit drinking, I’ll have a drink with you first on his behalf.”

Liu Daming said: "Brother-in-law, there is nothing wrong with Dalong's chatter. You must drink one."

"Drink! There's nothing wrong with it. Both my sons are very sensible, and I'm very happy..." Xu Laowen said with a loud tongue.

He, Wang Erli, and Liu Daming drank more than 80 liang in the first half. His head was very clear, but his limbs were not functioning properly.

In fact, he had to grind slowly according to the speed of the first half, and he would still be in the same state after drinking eight liang. However, Xu Long's one glass of two liang wine made Xu Laowang instantly feel a little dizzy. After drinking, he sat still in his original position. , staring straight at the sauced pig's trotters on the table.

"Dad, my eldest brother and my second brother toasted me, so I must toast you too. I will take a sip and you will take a sip."

Wang Erli tilted his neck: "Is that possible? You couldn't drink in the first few years. How could I enjoy this treatment? My eldest son is sensible, can a father do errands? Fuck!"

Xu Laowen and Wang Erli were both cheerful people. After finishing two glasses of wine, they rolled their tongues and stared at Wang Biao with squinted eyes. "In two years, Biao will be able to drink with me..."

Xu Long raised his glass and said, "Second uncle, in less than two years, I will drink with you on behalf of Biao, and we will both take a sip."

Wang Erli raised his head and was stunned. He had just finished a glass of wine and he still hadn't recovered yet. But in the face of his eldest nephew's toast, could an uncle refuse?
"Don't take a sip, we'll both drink half of it!"

"Hey, my second uncle is really cheerful, Biao? Biao! Come on, you can take a sip of soda with me and your dad."

"Okay! Dad, I was ignorant in the first few years and I made you worry a lot. Now it's all in the wine."

"Okay, okay...be sensible! Dad's heart is open, drink!"

Wang Erli had just finished drinking and put down his glass. Xu Long quickly picked up the teapot and poured wine into Wang Erli and Xu Laowen's glasses.

Just like that, Xu Long and Wang Hu were waiting for the two brothers. Wang Biao, Liu Tianen, Xu Feng and others all ran down to the ground with soda drinks and came up to Xu Laowei. Their little mouths seemed to be covered with honey, chattering sweetly. Xu Laowen and Wang Erli were very happy, their faces were red and their eyes were blurry.

Faced with Xu Feng's grinding force, even though Xu Laowen was a little dazed, he still took a sip, and then grinned: "Feng! You dance for dad, and dad will give you lucky money..."

"okay!"

Xu Feng put down the soda bottle and danced the Yangko dance on the ground. How could she know how to dance such a high-end art? The Yangko dance was pretty good.

At this moment, Xu Laowen and Wang Erli were stunned. Although they could see the person in front of them, it was a double image. They felt happy and couldn't help grinning.

"Happy! Good! Good dance!" Xu Laowen said with a laugh while taking out the money.

Then he took out two dollars from his pocket and handed it directly to Xu Feng's hand. Xu Feng was a little unhappy, "Dad, why do you give me so little?"

Xu Ning answered: "It must be because you didn't kowtow! Kowtow to our dad quickly, and the next move must not be less than five yuan!"

Upon hearing this, Xu Feng knelt down directly in front of Xu Laowen, and then knelt down directly.

"Oh my God! Hahaha, look at Feng'er's aggressiveness."

On the kang, Wu Qiuxia said with a smile, while Liu Lizhen, Han Fengjiao and others were also smiling and turned to look at the excitement.

Xu Laowei looked a little dumbfounded at this scene, but Xu Feng had already put him on the shelf, so he had to give face.

Then he took out another wad of change from his pocket, counted out five yuan and handed it to Xu Feng.

Xu Fengting knew what was going on. She stood up and gave Xu Laowen a few mouthfuls on his face, which directly made Xu Laowen's mood bloom again.

"Second uncle! Let me give you a kowtow." Xu Feng grinned and approached Wang Erli.

Immediately, Wang Erli was stunned. He was originally watching the excitement, but now he became a victim.

"Here! Second uncle is not as rich as your father, can you give me two yuan?"

Xu Ning said from the side: "There's nothing wrong with giving Feng two yuan. Biao, give one to your dad quickly. It shouldn't be less than five yuan!"

"Mom, Dad! Do you still have my share?" Wang Biao squeaked, and then he saw Wang Erli hurriedly jump to the side, but unexpectedly he lost his footing and fell directly to the ground.

"Hahaha, my dear, why are you still lying on the ground..."

Xu Ning laughed and said: "Second uncle, this is not a kang, so don't sleep on it."

Wang Hu hurriedly helped his father up, but saw Wang Biao hurriedly stepped forward, licking his beard with a sweet smile, which made Wang Erli dizzy. In the end, he had no choice but to take out a wad of money from his pocket. .

When Wang Hu and others saw this, their eyes lit up and they stepped forward to kowtow. However, Wang Erli and Xu Laowei's legs and feet were already unsteady and they couldn't run away, so they had to obey obediently.

But when it came to Liu Tianen, Li Jinyu, and Li Mantang, they were almost out of money.

Xu Laowen muttered: "I owe it first, can I pay it tomorrow?"

Xu Ning said: "Is it okay to owe money? How can any elder owe the younger generation New Year's money? Besides, my sister-in-law, my eldest brother, and I didn't even kowtow."

Xu Laowen gasped, raised his head and asked, "How many times are you going to knock me?"

"How much does it cost to knock one?"

"A dime!"

"That's not true. This man has gold under his knees. I will kneel to heaven and kneel to my parents. There is no way I can kneel down for such a small amount of money!"

"piece!"

"At least five dollars."

Xu Laowen gritted his teeth and said, "Okay! Dragon, go and rummage in the big yellow kennel and look under the straw mat and quilt. Today I have to let the little calf kowtow to me!"

Wang Erli pointed at Wang Biao, "Biao, go to Xiao Huang..."

"Got it."

The two of them rushed to the kennel in a hurry, and each dug out more than sixty yuan from the two yellow dogs' kennels. They were both shocked when they held it in their hands. All the brothers' personal money had been confiscated. How come these few days have passed? You just hid more than sixty years of work?
When the two of them entered the house and put the money into the hands of Xu Laowen and Wang Erli, Liu Lizhen and Han Fengjiao narrowed their eyes. They did not expect that these two old men would dare to hide so much money, and they even hid it in the doghouse!
"Come! Little calf, kowtow to me quickly! If you still dare to disobey me, kowtow to me quickly!" Xu Laowen said in a loud voice.

Xu Ning said with a smile: "You give me gold and jade first."

"Come here, the house is full of gold and jade. I will give each person five yuan. Take the flowers and go there. No need to kowtow, I will let this little kid kowtow!"

Originally Jin Yumantang didn't want to take the money, but Li Fuqiang nodded. After they took the money, they knelt down and kowtowed.

"Okay! Good boy, much better than your second uncle. Little calf, kowtow to me quickly! I can't punish you yet."

Xu Ning didn't hold back this time. What's the shame in kowtowing to his biological father? He knelt on the ground and knocked down two of them.

"Oh shit, you're just going to fight me? You little brat, you're still going to be so rebellious!"

Why did Xu Laowen say that? Because the custom here in Qing'an is to knock three but not four, and knocking four indicates bad things.

He kowtows three times to his own family and only one kowtow to others to pay New Year greetings. These two kowtows are neither up nor down, which makes Mr. Xu very uncomfortable.

Xu Ning spread his hands and said with a smile: "Dad, the last one has to pay more."

"...I'll give you twenty! Knock it quickly! You little bastard." Xu Laowen directly threw out twenty yuan, and Xu Ning only knocked the third one after he got it.

And Xu Long hurriedly followed the same example and got twenty yuan from Xu Laowen's hand. After adding a few cubs, Xu Laowen took out the private money from the kennel and only had a few yuan left.

Wang Erli was also very uncomfortable, because as soon as Xu Laowen finished enjoying the meal, these kids came to him. He had no choice but to pay.

Just as Xu Ning and Liu Daming's eyes met, Liu Daming hurriedly waved his hands and said: "I'm not a person who hides money! I didn't prepare anything. I only have this little in my pocket. You guys will get a piece of it! The rest will be left to your uncle. Why go?”

"Okay, thank you uncle."

"Uncle is so open-minded!"
