“...... Xiaoshan, go wash your hands first, go and say hello to grandma, let grandma know that you are back, and then go back to the house. ”

The door of the hall was pushed open, and the lights were not turned on, and some light came in some dim halls.

Immediately afterward, the door of the hall was again concealed, and the sunlight was again blocked out of the house.

The middle-aged man's gentle words sounded in the room, but there was no response from the boy, and it seemed that there was still silence.

Immediately after, another faucet was opened, closed again, and some rustling sounds,

In that hall, the middle-aged man walked out again, and closed the door of the hall with his backhand.

“...... Come ......"

“...... Lao Chang, I said that I made it for us, so why don't you use Lao Chang to help you move it. You usually rest, and it will be enough to greet the guests after a while. ”

The middle-aged man smiled on his face, walked over to the few people who were unloading the table from the tricycle, and also helped carry the table.

Next to him, the chef who was cleaning up the stove that had just been set up turned around and saw it, and said with a smile,

“...... Why, I don't feel at ease when I leave this banquet to us...... Don't worry, this old lady's birthday banquet, we will definitely handle it properly for you. ”

“...... No, no...... Isn't it too early, I don't have anything else to do, I can take a hand. ”

The middle-aged man just put the stack of stools on the round table, smiled and quickly waved his hand, and said again,

“...... Besides, this is a banquet in my house, you are busy, and I am sitting next to me, and it doesn't look like it. ”

“...... How else to say that you are always a hard-working person. You can't be idle......"

The cook took a rag, wiped down the desk, put the cutting board on it, turned around, smiled, and answered.

“...... That's the old thing, we're lazy. ”

Next to him, another helper who was running the banquet also smiled and answered,

A few helpers next to him, the cook also smiled, and the middle-aged man also smiled.

......

Just stopping in front of this courtyard, Lian Ge glanced at the helper and cook who were busy arranging tables and chairs in the courtyard, and the middle-aged man,

Then he turned his gaze and looked at the house behind the yard,

Like most of the houses in the village, the house is a one-story bungalow, except that the exterior walls seem to have only recently been cleaned up, and there is no dust stain to be seen.

......

“...... Chang, the guests are here?"

The middle-aged man moved a table again, placed it in the courtyard, raised his head, noticed Lian Ge, and looked at Lian Ge,

Next to him, the cook and the helper moved a pot of dishes and chopsticks to the edge of the desk, turned around, and saw Lian Ge, turned his head with a smile and said hello to the middle-aged man.

When the middle-aged man heard this, he first smiled, nodded to the cook, and then smiled on his face, and walked towards Lian Ge,

“...... Lad, you're ......."

The middle-aged man smiled on his face, walked up to Lian Ge, looked at Lian Ge and asked,

Looking at the door of the hall on the side of the courtyard again, Lian Ge turned his gaze and glanced at the middle-aged man,

"Passers-by, uninvited. I don't know if I can ask for a cup of birthday wine. ”

The tone was calm, and Lian Ge said aloud.

Hearing this, the middle-aged man first glanced at Lian Ge, followed closely, smiling on his face, and responded,

“...... When you come, you are a guest, and when a young man arrives in our village, it is fate. Nature is welcome. ”

Some enthusiastic, the middle-aged man turned around and led the way,

“...... Young man, please, sit down first, and I'll pour you a glass of water, young man. ”

Leading the way, he walked to the round table that had been set up, and after the middle-aged man beckoned Lian Ge to sit down, he followed closely, and walked back towards the hall with a smile on his face.

“...... Lao Chang, these 20 or so tables, you can't put them in this yard, you see if they are placed in the hall, or what. ”

At this moment, the helper who moved a round table from the car looked at the courtyard that was already full of tables and chairs, and shouted to the middle-aged man,

When the middle-aged man heard this, he paused, stood on his feet again, and then turned around, smiled on his face, nodded at the helper, and was about to speak.

“...... Put it in our yard, there is still room in our yard...... I can't put it in the yard of Lao Chang's house, so let's put it on our side. ”

At this time, the middle-aged man next to him was in the neighbor's house, and the middle-aged woman who had been talking to the middle-aged man happened to come out of the house, and when she heard the words here, she said with a smile,

“...... Thank you, Sister Chen. ”

The middle-aged man smiled on his face, and then answered the middle-aged woman in the courtyard next to him.

“...... What's polite, it's all the neighbor's ...... I'll clean up this yard again. ”

“...... That's it, then put it over there......"

“...... Look at this, there are a lot of tables here. ”

Putting down the things she was busy with before, the middle-aged woman took a broom out, swept the yard again, turned around again, looked at the yard here, and asked with some curiosity,

“...... No, twenty tables. ”

“...... Yo, it's a lot, you have to spend a lot of money here. ”

“...... Not much, not much...... The old lady in the house likes to be lively, and for her seventieth birthday, she still has a lively one for her, and she is happy......"

“...... You're really ......."

The middle-aged woman in the courtyard next to her shook her head when she heard the sound, wanting to say something, but she didn't continue.

“...... We'll talk later, I'll go pour a glass of water for the guests first. ”

The middle-aged man smiled and didn't answer. With that, he walked back into the house.

......

“...... Xiaoshan, have you said hello to grandma...... Okay, then you can play it yourself. I'm a little busy at home tonight, Xiaoshan, don't run around, be nice. ”

The door of the hall was pushed open, and it was hidden from the inside again, and after some rustling sounds, some middle-aged men's voices were heard again.

Then, the door of the house was opened again, and the middle-aged man walked out with a glass of water and a plate with some candy and peanuts.

This time, the middle-aged man didn't cover the door of the hall again, took the tea, water and fruits, walked out of the door of the hall, and walked towards Lian Ge,

And immediately after, Chang Shan, the boy before that, also appeared at the door of the hall.

“...... Lad, give. ”

Putting the plate with some candy and peanuts on the round table in front of Lian Ge, the middle-aged man smiled again and handed the cup of tea to Lian Ge.

Glancing at the middle-aged man, Lian Ge reached out and took the cup of tea, didn't drink it, and put it on the table next to him.

“...... Young man, you sit down for a while, I'm unaccompanied, if you need anything, just say hello, you're welcome. ”

Smiling, the middle-aged man said again, turned around and walked towards the room again,

Walked to the door of the house,

The boy was still standing.

“...... Xiaoshan, what's wrong, it's uncomfortable. It's not a cold, is it?"

The middle-aged man squatted down in front of the boy, stretched out his hand, touched the boy's forehead, and asked with concern,

“...... There is also some cold medicine in the house, or Dad will give you some to eat to see if it will get better. ”

When the boy heard this, he looked at his father again, was silent, and then slowly lowered his head.

With his head buried, the boy turned around again and walked into the bedroom next to the hall, closing the door.

“...... Chang, you're really a father and a mother......"

Next to him, the busy cook looked over and said something with a smile.

The middle-aged man stood up, closed the door again, turned around, smiled and did not answer.

Then he walked towards a few people in the courtyard, helping a few cooks, helpers, and carrying tables and chairs.
