"My dear relatives!" At the critical moment, Zhao Youcai took out a cigarette, smoked one and handed it to Zhou Chunming, saying, "Brother Xing has been busy helping us with business lately, so he doesn't have time to fight and kill."
As he said this, Zhao Youcai laughed.
Zhou Chunming was talking about things that happened in 84 and 86, while Zhao Youcai was talking about more recent events. Obviously, he cannot testify for Xing San.
But there was something else behind Zhao Youcai's words, and Zhou Chunming understood as soon as he heard it, that this old man was one of their own.
"Haha." Zhou Chunming smiled and looked at Xing San and said, "Brother, you still remember me, right? My old man and I have been to your house before."
Hearing Zhou Chunming's words, Xing San frowned and looked at him, saying, "I know you."
"That's as it should be." Zhou Chunming said with a smile, "We are all relatives in the village."
Zhou Chunming laughed, and everyone else laughed too, except Xing San.
"Brother." At this time, Zhou Chunming said to Xing San: "In the future, if you have any conflicts with others in the village, you should forgive them when you can."
Zhou Chunming said this appropriately. Xing San nodded and said, "Well, you are right."
Although this was a simple statement, it was considered soft talk to Xing San.
The atmosphere in the room instantly eased, and Zhou Chunming laughed. He was coming to his in-laws' house for a dinner today, and he would definitely not make things difficult for the Zhao family's guests.
Once things have been said openly, it means that the past is over and no one will hold grudges against them.
At this time, Hu Sanmei pulled out the triangular bag she brought from home, took out two packs of Shilin cigarettes from it and handed them to Zhou Chunming.
"My dear." Zhou Chunming took the cigarettes and handed them to Zhao Youcai, saying, "My dear, I didn't buy you anything here, so I'll just give you two packs of cigarettes."
"What are you doing?" Zhao Youcai took the cigarette in his hand and said politely, "My dear in-laws, we are all family, why are you spending this money?"
In fact, if you kill a pig to entertain guests, those who come to eat don’t need to bring gifts.
But in the past year, the Zhao family has given a lot to the Zhou family, and the Zhou family didn't prepare four boxes of gifts, but spent 90 yuan to buy two Shilin for Zhao Youcai.
Just as Zhao Youcai accepted the cigarette, he heard a dog barking outside the house. Zhao Youcai stretched his neck to look out the window, then got off the kang and went out.
It’s Liu Renshan and Liu Shuping who are here!
The couple arrived quite early.
Zhao Youcai got off the kang and looked at Zhao Jun and said, "You, Baoyu, and Xiaochen, hurry up and get rid of the dog. Send it to your elder brother Zhang's home or someone else's. Don't leave it in the yard."
There are quite a few guests today, some like dogs and some don’t.
It would be fine if Zhao Jun had one or two dogs, but there were more than ten dogs, each bigger than the other, occupying most of the yard. They wouldn't bite anyone, but it's not good to scare people.
The key is that we have distinguished guests today.
After Zhao Youcai gave his order, Zhao Jun, Li Baoyu and Xie Chen stood up. At this time, Xie Zhong also wanted to go out to help, but was stopped by Zhao Jun.
Zhao Jun winked at Jie Zhong, meaning that he should stay and chat with him. The work of the two small forestry teams can last for a whole winter. If they want to continue to be in charge of the forestry team next year, how can they do it without building a good relationship with the leaders?
Li Ruhai also wanted to go to help, and Zhao Jun did not stop him. But seeing Li Ruhai in plain clothes, Zhou Chunming and Zhou Jianjun felt very strange.
"This kid!" Zhou Chunming pointed at Li Ruhai's back, then turned to Li Dayong and said with a smile, "As soon as he got to the venue, he was dressed in slick clothes."
"Hehe..." Li Dayong laughed dryly, not knowing how to respond.
Just as Zhao Jun and his companions were walking out, they ran into Zhao Youcai and Liu Renshan and his wife walking in.
At this time, Zhao Youcai was holding a pack of Shilin cigarettes in his hand, with a beaming smile on his face.
As soon as Zhao Youcai and his friends entered the house, thirteen people from four families including Wang Qiang, Li Dazhi, Lin Xiangshun and Zhang Yuanmin arrived.
As more and more people came, men and women were separated into two rooms.
The men are in the east room and the women are in the west room.
The old lady, Li Tongyun, Xiao Lingdang and several other children went to the Li family in the west courtyard. The old lady wanted to call Xie Sun, but Xie Sun refused to leave, saying that she was the main worker and wanted to stay to help cut the pickled cabbage.
Seeing that she was determined not to leave, the old lady took the children away. When they left, Zhao Hong held the little lynx, and Li Tongyun held the little black bear.
This girl looks frail, but she is very strong. She can hold a black bear weighing more than 20 kilograms as if it is very easy.
When they arrived at Li's house, Jin Xiaomei hadn't left the house yet.
She prepared peanuts, melon seeds, and candies for the children, all in small baskets on the kang table in the east room. On the stove in the outer room, two basins were filled with cold water and filled with frozen pears.
Even though there were two bowls of frozen pears, there were so many children that each of them finished half of one.
After making the arrangements, Jin Xiaomei went to help next door. Before leaving, Jin Xiaomei turned on the TV.
"Grandma Jiang." After changing the channel, Li Tongyun turned around and said to the old lady with a smile, "Just before we came here, we saw a lot of children, each holding a handful of firecrackers, saying that they found them at our door."
"Yeah." The old lady smiled and said, "Your uncle Zhao and his men are setting off ten firecrackers today."
Li Xiaoqiao put a piece of soft candy in her mouth, chewed the candy, puffed up one side of her cheek, and said to Li Tongyun in a vain manner: "Miss, Xiaohong was beaten by my uncle this morning."
As soon as Li Xiaoqiao said this, she was slapped by Zhao Hong.
"What are you hugging for?" Li Tongyun asked curiously. Li Xiaoqiao broke free from Zhao Hong's embrace, threw herself on Li Tongyun, and told Li Tongyun in her ear how Zhao Hong was beaten this morning.
"Xiao Hong, it's not good for you to do this." Li Tongyun said so, and the old lady's eyes lit up. Just when she thought Li Tongyun was going to criticize Zhao Hong, she heard Li Tongyun say, "It's not wise for you to do this."
"Huh?" The old lady was stunned, and Li Tongyun continued: "You have a lot of little guys to deal with. Can you beat so many of them?"
old lady:"……"
"I can't beat you, but don't I have you?" Zhao Hong asked back with confidence, which made Li Tongyun laugh.
"How old am I? Can I help you fight?" Li Tongyun said, "We girls have to be independent. You have time to learn some boxing from Sister Yun."
"Just stop it." After hearing what Li Tongyun said, the old lady quickly stopped him and said, "This child is already overbearing enough. If you teach her again, what will you do if she gets hurt?"
"Grandma Jiang, I didn't teach her to be domineering." Li Tongyun seemed to be unable to distinguish between the primary and the secondary, and just shirked responsibility, saying, "She learned it from the old man who lives in her house."
The old lady twitched the corner of her mouth, lowered her head, touched the little lynx beside her legs, and stopped talking.
"Really, Grandma Jiang." Seeing that the old lady didn't say anything, Li Tongyun was still not happy. She pointed at the east wall and said, "I've always said that when the old man was in the mountains, he would even use a knife to play with people."
old lady:"……"
At this moment, there was a knock on the door outside, followed by Wang Meilan's voice: "Come, look who's here?"
When they heard Wang Meilan's words, everyone looked towards the door.
"Ah!" Seeing the guests brought in by Wang Meilan, the old lady and Li Tongyun both stood up.
"Grandma Jiang, Xiaoyun." Ma Ling greeted them with a smile. The old lady and Li Tongyun both had smiles on their faces. They each took one of Ma Ling's hands and pulled Ma Ling to sit on the kang.
"Come here, Xiaoyang." Wang Meilan grabbed a handful of candy from the table on the kang, but she didn't give it to Ma Ling. Instead, she turned around and gave it to Ma Yang.
Wang Meilan stuffed the candy into Ma Yang's cotton-padded jacket pocket, then pulled Ma Yang to sit on the edge of the kang and said, "Xiaoyang, it's like being at home here, take whatever you want to eat. Watch TV for a while, Ruhai will be here soon."
After the six members of the Ma family arrived, Ma Dafu and Ma Sheng chatted with Zhao Youcai and others, Wang Cuihua joined the group of women, and Ma Ling's sister-in-law Xu Qing held her child and talked to Zhao Chun about parenting issues.
Wang Meilan chatted with Ma Ling for a while, then sent her to the west yard. She wanted Ma Ling to have more topics to talk about with Li Tongyun, who was the same age as her, and also to save Ma Ling from having to do the work.
Ma Yang felt bored staying in the East Courtyard, so he came to the West Courtyard.
After Wang Meilan left, the old lady and Li Tongyun both pulled Ma Ling aside to chat. Zhao Hong and Zhao Na knew that this woman was their future sister-in-law, so they not only spoke to Ma Ling in childish language, but also peeled melon seeds and candy wrappers for her.
The old lady would talk to Ma Yang from time to time, and although Li Ruhai had not come over, Ma Yang did not feel bored. Because there was a TV in the room, he could watch TV while eating melon seeds and peanuts, which was quite enjoyable.
Just when Ma Yang turned around and was about to throw the melon seed shells onto the table, he saw a little head sticking out from under the table.
"Ah!" Seeing the cute look of the little lynx, Ma Yang couldn't help but reach out and want to pet it.
"Haaa..." The moment Ma Yang stretched out his hand to the little lynx, the little lynx's eyes became sharp, and it opened its mouth and made a protesting sound like a breath.
When the little lynx was at the Zhao family before, it really wasn't like this. But now that it's in a strange environment, the little lynx feels very insecure and doesn't want to be touched.
"Ouch!" Ma Yang stretched out his hand and gently fanned the little lynx.
He didn't really want to hit the little lynx, he just wanted to tease the little guy. And Ma Yang's movements were very gentle, as soon as he raised his hand, the little lynx retreated.
But as he attacked, Zhao Hong became unhappy. She hugged the little lynx and said to Ma Yang, "Why are you hitting us?"
"That's right!" Zhao Na was also unhappy and looked at Ma Yang angrily.
Seeing this, Li Xiaoqiao also said to Ma Yang: "Didn't the kitten bite you?"
"Xiaoqiao!" Li Tongyun spoke up, interrupting the children's complaints. Then Li Tongyun looked at Zhao Hong and the others and said, "Your brother Xiaoyang didn't really hit the kitten. Wasn't he just joking?"
"It's okay, Xiaoyun." Ma Ling smiled and interrupted Li Tongyun, then looked at the little lynx in Zhao Hong's arms and said with a smile: "Zhao Hong, it won't bite you even if you hold it like this."
"Sister-in-law, it doesn't bite." Zhao Hong held the little lynx and moved closer to Ma Ling, saying, "Touch it."
"Ah?" Ma Ling hesitated, but didn't want to reject her sister-in-law's kindness, so she extended her hand to the little lynx.
But what was unexpected was that when the little lynx held by Zhao Hong saw Ma Ling reaching out to it and it had no way to avoid it, the little lynx directly showed its claws to Ma Ling.
"Ouch!" Thanks to Ma Ling for dodging in time, she was not scratched by the little lynx.
And the next second, a small slap hit the little lynx in the face.
The slap was given by Zhao Hong, and then Zhao Na slapped the little lynx again, causing it to close its eyes.
"How dare you!" Li Xiaoqiao slammed the table and stood up, pointing at the little lynx and shouting, "You don't want to live anymore, do you?"
Ma Yang: "..."
