Huang Daming peeked in from the gate of the courtyard, glanced in the direction pointed by Li Fei's feet, turned around and leaned against the courtyard door, flicked the brim of his red top hat with his hand and put it on his head, and said to Chen Ruyi and his wife and Chen Lisong: "Chen Ruyi, are you digging it out? Or should I tell my brother to dig it up?"

Chen Ruyi was anxious and said, "Captain Huang, Captain Huang, that's reserved for next year's grain ......."

"No need for grain seeds, that piece of land will grow rice by itself! Li Feijiao, let's do it!"

"Yes!" In front of Huang Daming, Li Feijiao would only carry out orders.

Chen Ruyi and his daughter-in-law knelt down to Huang Daming together, hugged Huang Daming's leg and begged: "Please, Captain Huang, this kind of son is our family's life this year!"

Chen Lisong knew that it was useless to ask Huang Daming, so he went to pull his father and mother and said, "Dad, mother, don't ask for it, who doesn't know Captain Huang in Daofeng Town?"

"Old man Ruyi, your son is still conscious!" Huang Daming took a few steps back in disgust and broke free from Chen Ruyi.

Li Feijiao took a hoe from the corner of the wall, divided it by two, dug up the loose soil by the well, and sure enough, he dug out half a bag of grain.

Zhao Dacai carried the half bag of millet to Huang Daming and said, "I...... We pay ...... Seized half ...... Half and a half ...... Bag of millet!"

"That's all?" Huang Daming didn't seem satisfied.

Zhao Dacai said: "Look...... Look, the house ...... There is no ...... in the house It's gone!"

Huang Daming asked: "Chen Ruyi, I harvested so much millet last year, where did I hide it?"

"Didn't you pay the grain at the time of last year's harvest? There are so many people in the family, and they want to marry their children, and the only half bag of millet that is kept for seed has also been searched out by you, Captain Huang, count me old man, please keep the grain seeds!"

"Li Feijiao, bring it up!" Huang Daming beckoned Li Feijiao to take away half a bag of millet and said, "Didn't you borrow the grain seeds from Chen Tianfu last year?

Li Feijiao was still looking left and right: "I think their family shouldn't just hide this half bag of grain, I have to look for it again!"

Chen Lisong complained: "Can you borrow it from him? Borrow one bucket of grain and plant five buckets of grain!"

"This is not my responsibility, you discuss it with him!"

Huang Daming saw that Li Feijiao was still looking at this and that, and shouted: "What are you looking for? Are you the captain or am I the captain? The play is about to start, don't mistake me for watching the play!

After speaking, Huang Daming asked Li Feijiao to carry the half bag of millet, and sang the lyrics all the way away.

When Chen Lisong saw Li Feijiao leaving, he still looked back at their yard from time to time, and hurriedly closed the door with his father and mother, and hurried to the ancestral shrine. The bride is still waiting to worship him in the ancestral shrine!

Chen Ruyi's daughter-in-law said as she walked: "Song'er, I have to thank Lin Sancai this time." Will Li Feijiao come back after a while?"

"Don't worry, Li Feijiao doesn't have to worry even if he returns, we won't hide at home. ”

Chen Ruyi said: "It's still Song'er alert. If they don't find the half bag, I'm afraid the house will have to be demolished. ”

They entered the ancestral shrine again, but Chen Tianfu was gone.

The bride, Lin Jinzhu, was still standing in the hall, and she was leaning on her companion and falling asleep. The guests were tossed by Huang Daming, and there were not a few people waiting there.

The thirteen-year-old apprentice Li Tiezhu was in a daze, but when he saw the master and his senior brother coming, he immediately came and stood up from the corner, ran to Chen Ruyi and said, "Master, after you left, Master Chen also left quietly, I don't dare to keep him." ”

Chen Ruyi nodded and said to Chen Lisong: "This time, the iron pillar will not move, you have to go and ask for a trip." Do you know where he's going to be?"

"Yes, it must be in the theater. ”

The only stage in the town, the stage is crowded with people, some sitting at the table in front, some sitting on their own stools, some sitting on the stone mound and earthen wall, and some standing in the distance......

In the New Year, the New Year is slack, and it is the New Year's Festival, the women are packing up the sacrifices at home to worship the fruits, and almost all the men who like to watch the drama in Daofeng Town have come.

It is said that it is the whole town, but in fact, most of them are people from Chen Zhuang and Huang Zhuang.

Zhengjiazhai, Wangjiazhai, Lijiazhai and Linjiazhai are a little far from the town.

During the Chinese New Year, young people have their own pai gow and mahjong they play, but some middle-aged and elderly people, holding a hookah gun, walked more than ten miles, and some even walked more than 20 miles to the town.

"Knock, knock, knock, knock......" The time was past noon, and the gongs, drums, cymbals and chimes on the stage began to sound in unison.

The opera troupe is an authentic Confucian class invited from Tiancheng, and it plays "Hundred Plates of Incense and Firewood Fan".

"The festival is worth the yuan, the lantern will urge people to be busy, accompany the neighbors, watch the lanterns, and go to the neighborhood together. Looking up, the three streets and six lanes are like clouds, oops, it's really lively, and the girls are ashamed to go out......"

In the sound of gongs and drums, the play has begun.

"Let Jean!" Huang Xiaoliang squeezed through the crowd in a black robe.

When he squeezed in front of Chen Tianfu, Chen Tianfu grabbed him and said, "The drama on stage has begun! Captain Huang, you have just returned from searching for food from Chen's house, and you are anxious where to go to search for food? What is the difference between the person who plays Sister Lin Ying and Zheng Yizhuo?"

Huang Xiaoliang stretched out his hand to brush Chen Tianfu's hand, pointed at Huang Daming, who was not far from them, and said with a smile: "Chen Tianfu, thank you for knowing me for so long, I am Huang Xiaoliang! You are idle, take your time. I'm not as idle as you two, I have to go to school!"

After speaking, Huang Xiaoliang put on a long shirt and continued to squeeze through the crowd.

"Today is the Lantern Festival of the first lunar month, whose children come to the school to listen to your lectures?"

Huang Xiaoliang just smiled slightly and did not respond, and left the theater with great strides.

Huang Daming, who was wearing a blue shirt and a green coat, flashed to Chen Tianfu ghostly from the wooden pillar of the stage, put his hand on Chen Tianfu's shoulder and asked, "Chen Tianfu, are you looking for me?"

"I said Captain Huang, the police captain should also have the appearance of a police captain, can you change into police clothes and wear them? You two twins, if you don't say anything about each other, who can tell which is the elder brother and which is the younger brother? How much was looted in Chen Ruyi's house just now?"

"Chen Ruyi's family has no oil and water! My brother is me, I am my brother, who let me be twins with him?"

Huang Daming didn't care if Chen Tianfu would beckon him to sit, after putting his hand off Chen Tianfu's shoulder, he pulled a stool straight over, sat down at the Eight Immortals table, and reached out to take an orange from the table and break it open to eat.

"You're so rude!"

Huang Daming spit out a few orange kernels from his mouth and said, "Didn't you just want to talk to me? Why can't you eat an orange of yours?"

"I mean you're rude as you squeeze through the crowd!"

"Is it possible that I have to be like my brother, squeeze all the way, and apologize to people all the way and say, 'Let me'? If these people don't let me, Lao Tzu will arrest them all and put them in the police team! Watch the play, watch the play!"

Chen Tianfu seemed a little helpless to Huang Daming, and also said: "Watch the play, watch the play!"

"Brother Tianfu, Brother Tianfu!" When the two were about to concentrate on watching the play, there was a shout from the crowd, as if they were competing with the gongs, drums, cymbals and chimes on the stage.

Huang Daming heard that it was Chen Lisong's voice, and said: "The play on this stage has begun, is this kid coming to you to sue me? Dare to disturb Lao Tzu watching the play?!

"Hey!" Li Fei squeezed over from the crowd with agility and stood in front of Huang Daming.

"You bring someone over to Lao Tzu!"
