Wu Simao took the wine bottle, filled it full, and asked, "Lotte, you said let me do me a favor, what's the matter?"

Zhang Wei picked up the chopsticks, sandwiched a piece of rabbit meat, put it in front of Bai Letian, and sandwiched a piece of chicken for Zhao Laohei. When he heard this, he held chopsticks in his hand and stopped in the air, waiting for Wu Simao to continue.

"Well, I'm sorry. I want to sell the car, hurry up, you find a master, ask for cash. The car was bought by me with an installment loan two years ago, and the purchase price was 100,000 yuan. Bai Lotian scratched his head and said.

"Sell the car?" the three of them shouted at the same time, staring at Bai Lotian and waiting for him to explain further.

After Bai Lotian finished speaking, he took a sip of wine, lowered his head, and didn't speak again, his brows furrowed.

"Why?" Wu Simao then asked.

"My dad fell and injured himself and it took a lot of expenses, I didn't have that much money. He rubbed his hands together and said.

"Let's scrape together for you, we can't get to the point of selling cars. Zhang Wei picked up the wine glass and dried, and said while eating.

"Big deal, old guy still has a little more, give you some firewood, get through it, baby. Zhao Laohei took a big sip of wine, choked and coughed twice, stroked his chest with his palm, licked his lips and said.

Bai Lotian raised his head, his lips tightened, his eyes flashed with a strange light, and he picked up the wine, "I toast you, I shouldn't have said this, I have grown up, I have to take on the responsibility of the family, and the difficulties are only temporary." I don't want to trouble you. ”

After speaking, Bai Lotian took a sip of the wine in the glass, took out a cigarette, lit it and stuffed it into his mouth, took a big sip, and choked and coughed repeatedly.

"Tomorrow, I'll go and see the car first, find a suitable person as soon as possible, and sell the car. Wu Simao said.

With a few glasses of wine, the faces of the four people were flushed, and their words gradually became cheerful.

Zhao Laohei is over sixty years old, and of course the amount of alcohol cannot be the same as that of young people, his head began to shake from side to side, his face was yellow and red, his tongue was gradually hardened, and his lips began to tremble when he spoke.

"Lotte is really a good boy, when you were just picked up by Victory, your body was very weak, like a kitten, and you thought you couldn't feed it, you see, what a great boy you are now, and you still have responsibility, blessed, Bai Shengli. Zhao Laohei squinted his eyes and muttered.

The three of them were drinking with great interest, and when they heard Zhao Laohei's muttering, they couldn't help but be stunned. Bai Letian looked stunned, his eyes moved quickly, and his fingers holding chopsticks shook slightly.

At this time, the chef pushed the door with the dish and walked in, and he also heard Zhao Laohei's voice, and glared at him fiercely, "Drink too much again, talk nonsense all day long, be careful to rot the root of your tongue." ”

Zhao Laohei patted his mouth with his right hand, "You see me open my stinky mouth and drink some wine, I don't know that the east and west, the north and the south, are all drunk talk." He sneered and said with a haha, the corners of his mouth curled up unnaturally, and he looked like he wanted to cover up.

All kinds of dishes are placed on the table, and the three bottles of liquor are almost finished. Bai Lotian had worries in his heart, and he even opened up to drink, as if only by falling into intoxication could he temporarily forget the troubles in front of him.

At midnight, the proprietress of the restaurant was already lying on the bed snoring like the sky, and the man in the chef's uniform had changed into short sleeves and was lying on the bar with his hands on the bar, sleepy-eyed. The four of them burped and smelled of alcohol, supported each other, and walked out of the door of the hotel.

The night sky is full of stars, the air is cool, and the crickets are loud or low.

Zhao Laohei's home is not far from the village committee, just south of the bamboo forest in front of the mountain, the three of them helped Zhao Laohei, walked to a courtyard door, pushed the door and walked in, put him on the bed in the east room in the dark, took off his mud-stained cloth shoes, covered with a quilt, and he spoke excitedly and loudly.

Facing the cool breeze of the spring night, along the winding dirt road paved with stones, through a small forest, the three of them parted on a path and went home.

Bai Lotian pushed open the door, the lights in the house had long been extinguished, and only the gentle coughing of the two old men was heard. He walked into the room, did not turn on the light, threw himself on the bed, kicked his feet, climbed into bed with a shoe on his foot, put on his clothes, and soon fell asleep, and several times the barking of black dogs in the night did not wake him.

The next day, the sun shone through the leaves of the pomegranate tree outside the window lattice, and the house was much brighter, and the barking of the black dog and the crowing of the rooster mingled together, waking Bai Lotian from his dream.

Bai Lotian rolled over, rubbed his sour eyes, and slept for a while before turning over and getting up. Jumping to the door, he found another leather shoe and bent down to put it on.

Bai Lotian found a pair of toothbrushes from the cupboard, picked up a cup, walked to the water tank in the yard, picked up the scoop and scooped a glass of water, came to the south wall of the yard where the lettuce was grown, took a sip of water, and then began to brush his teeth.

"Eldest grandson, the salty soup is ready, come and drink it. Grandma shouted in the kitchen.

"Okay, Grandma. Bai Lotian responded. He took a few large sips of water, raised his head, and lowered his head again to spit it out.

There was exactly half a basin of water in the basin next to the tank, and he rested it on a small stool, picking up cold water and washing his cheeks.

He dipped his face in a basin of water, and it took a long time for the last night's wine to dissipate.

He suddenly remembered the agreement with Wu Simao, and didn't bother to go into the kitchen, so he ran out of the yard and ran to the car behind the house.

Before he reached the car, he couldn't help but be taken aback and broke out in a cold sweat.

What's going on?
