When Luo Bin returned home that day, it was already ten o'clock in the morning.

He used the excuse of getting up early to exercise in the morning, but his father not only did not doubt it, but praised him for his healthy work and rest.

Lori on the side rolled her eyebrows, didn't ask much, and continued to be her silly white sweet.

Two days later, on Chinese New Year's Eve, Luo Fu was busy in the kitchen from early in the morning, preparing ingredients and side dishes for the Chinese New Year's Eve dinner, as well as several meat and vegetarian dishes and fruits for the ancestors.

Luo Bin and Lori pasted couplets and red blessings up and down, inside and out, and hung two red lanterns at the gate, and the full smell of the New Year was filled with cooking smoke.

After lunch, Luo Fu led the two of them to the graves of their ancestors to worship, and his words were full of joy to introduce his future daughter-in-law to the ancestors.

Luo Bin listened awkwardly, so he hid aside to smoke, but Lori, who usually laughed, would have a solemn face every time she arrived at this time, standing in front of the tomb to worship, and kowtowing with Luo Fu.

After worshipping everywhere, the three returned home. Taking turns in battle, a plate of sumptuous Chinese New Year's Eve dinner was presented on the round table between laughter.

Offering tribute fruits on the table of the eight immortals in the hall, Luo Fu explained to Lori that the custom in the village is to go to the grave during the day to invite the ancestors of the deceased family to come back for the New Year reunion, and the first wine in this hall is naturally set for them.

At the door, the three of them bowed sincerely to the hall, lit red candles, poured wine, and made hot tea. Only then did they return to the house together to start their own Chinese New Year's Eve dinner.

During the banquet, because of Lori's amusement, the father and son talked more, and drank a bottle of wine and liquor until seven o'clock in the evening, Luo Fu stopped his glass, took out two small New Year's red envelopes from his pocket and handed them to the two juniors, and the two of them did not shirk, and took it with both hands.

At Luo Fu's invitation, Lori also officially accompanied him to the village as a daughter-in-law.

And Luo Bin was happy, sitting in the house and watching the festival party. Just as he was amused by the sketch, he leaned back and closed, and a person walked in at the door.

I only heard him shout, "Brother Bin, Happy New Year!" and people came to the house, and it was none other than Luo Junjie, who was forced to pay debts two days ago.

Luo Bin smoked a cigarette and beckoned him to sit down, and asked him if his injuries were better.

I saw him raise his hand, revealing his bandaged hand, and said with a smile: "I didn't let the doctor take it." ”

Luo Bin was a little puzzled, so he blurted out: "Although the lack of tail finger does not have much impact on life, it will always be better to be able to take it back." What did you think at the time? Was it because there wasn't enough money?"

Luo Junjie shook his head and said: "It's not about money, just give yourself a long memory, leave a lesson, and be a new person in the future." ”

Luo Bin felt a little puzzled and said: "Even if you leave a lesson, it is enough for you to be stabbed, but don't use good fingers, this lesson is inevitably too profound." As for being a man, your character is not bad, and you are also well-known in the village, you respect the old and love the young, and have a good character, isn't it because you have a poor life that you borrowed money that you should not have borrowed? If borrowing money is a bad character, then your brother and I are even worse in character. ”

Luo Junjie lowered his head and said with a wry smile: "Let's not mention this, I'm here to pay back the money today." As he spoke, he took out a brand-new red envelope from his pocket, handed it to Luo Bin, and said apologetically: "The red envelope that day was stained with blood, and later my grandmother compared it in several stores, but couldn't find a style, so I had to pick a happy red envelope and send it back to my sister-in-law." ”

"My grandmother said, this is your new daughter-in-law's meeting red envelope, we can't take it. ”

In the past few days, Luo Bin has not made any explanation for Lori's identity, after all, he is at home and shares the same bed, so it is futile to explain.

He took the red envelope and took out the money to look at it, his father really took a hard time, there were bits and pieces in the red envelope, just 9999 yuan.

He put the change on the table and handed 9,900 yuan to Luo Junjie. He raised his chin and said, "Take it, your milk is old, and your legs and feet are not convenient, so you take the time to buy her some commonly used things to prepare." You just tell her that this is my old man's filial piety, and it has nothing to do with you. ”

Luo Junjie hurriedly pushed and didn't answer, Luo Bin said with a straight face: "I said that it has nothing to do with you, I respect your milk, why do you refuse? Besides, there is no red envelope now, so what rules do you care, you hurry up and take it." ”

Seeing his earnest attitude, Luo Junjie had no choice but to accept the money half-pushing.

After sitting for a while, Luo Junjie broke the silence and said, "I saw Uncle Thunder that day. ”

Luo Bin didn't pay much attention to it, took a puff of cigarette and said, "I know, he was also in the crowd at the time." ”

Seeing that he didn't understand, Luo Junjie continued to add: "That day in the car accident, I saw him on the mountain in Shoal Bay. ”

After hearing this, Luo Bin paused, and then pretended to be calm and asked, "I'm afraid you're not mistaken, right?"

"No, there is no one else in the upper and lower villages of his height. ”

Luo Bin wanted to test how much he saw, so he continued to ask, "Where did you see it at that time?"

"At that time, the ambulance went late, and other people's attention was on the car accident, I couldn't see the situation in the back, and I didn't expect it to be so tragic, so when I got out of the car, I casually looked at the back of the ambulance a few more times, but I didn't expect to see Uncle Thunder passing over a tree. ”

Hearing this, Luo Bin remembered Shi Jinglei's extremely thirsty appearance when he entered the door that day, and he was basically sure that the falling stone that day was inseparable from him, so he deliberately vaguely said: "You must be dazzled, and besides, if you are so far away, how can you see that you are tall, short, fat and thin." ”

Luo Junjie looked at Luo Bin and said seriously: "Brother Bin, you should know that I have set traps on the mountain to catch wild goods since I was a child, and I don't have other skills, but I am still very sure of judging the size of the prey with reference to the grass and trees on the mountain." ”

After listening to him, Luo Bin knew that it was useless to argue, so he looked into his eyes and said, "He was drinking tea at my house at that time, do you understand?"

Luo Junjie nodded: "I understand, it's too late for me to be grateful to him, I only said these things to you, and whoever asks me in the future, I won't know." ”

Seeing that he understood, Luo Bin didn't mention it anymore, and the two tacitly chatted a few words of homely things, and Luo Junjie got up and left.

When his father and the others came back, Luo Bin didn't wait for the auspicious New Year's fireworks, so he went upstairs to rest alone.

In the early morning of the next day, Luo Bin went up the back mountain amid the endless sound of fireworks and salutes.

Carrying a box of liquor, he took the coat and leather shoes that Ning Shi bought and sent them to Shi Jinglei.

Shi Jinglei didn't practice boxing, just made tea and waited for him.

Luo Bin tried all the clothes and shoes for Shi Jinglei, which can be regarded as bringing some new atmosphere to Uncle Ke in the New Year.

He sat on the wine box and asked, "Uncle Ke, you entered the door and shouted to drink water that day, did you go to Hetan Bay?"

Shi Jinglei didn't hide it when he heard it, and said, "I went, and pushed a few stones." ”

Luo Bin received an affirmative reply, but he was a little angry: "You have been dormant here for half your life, why are you doing these things now? What if the police come to the door?"

Shi Jinglei replied without thinking: "It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, and it is not too late for a villain to take revenge from morning to night." I've heard those hooligans threatening you. Although I don't go down the mountain much, I have listened to the radio a lot in the past few years, and I have naturally learned a lot of things. Don't the police pay attention to evidence? The motive for the killing, the time of the killing, and the tools of the killing, all of which could not be found on my head. I couldn't reach my legs, and when I came back, I went to the village to stand for a while, and many people saw it, and the police couldn't suspect me at all. ”

"But you were seen on the mountain. ”

Shi Jinglei paused, didn't speak for a while, he hung his coat on the hanger, and didn't ask who the witnesses were, looked at Luo Bin and said, "If you really find it, then go out and hide for a few years, where will you not eat?"

Luo Bin sighed: "This matter will not be spread for the time being, in case something really happens in the future, we will find a way together." He added: "Don't hurt people nearby in the future, no matter how strong your skills are, it is impossible to oppose the state apparatus." Besides, who can be sure that there are no supernatural beings nearby staring at us?"

Shi Jinglei nodded indifferently, and said as he walked out of the door: "It's not early, come out and practice." ”

Luo Bin knew that Shi Jinglei was doing all this for himself, and he must be worried that the endless revenge of a few gangsters would disturb their peaceful life.

Thinking of these, Luo Bin practiced his fists and feet even more carefully, after all, only by gaining more strength can he protect the people around him, and the capital to avenge his mother is also a little more.

Since the second day of the first lunar month, there has been an endless stream of relatives and friends sent to the family, but these have not delayed Luo Bin from getting up early to practice boxing, and he has been staying in Luojiawa until the sixteenth day of the first month, and he can be considered proficient in the routines of the entire set of boxing techniques.

Shi Jinglei told him that he must practice diligently every day, even if he was not guided by him, as long as he punched a thousand times, he could achieve his righteousness and condense the dragon momentum.

After the eighth day of the first lunar month, Luo Fu saw that his son did not get up and go back to work in Ning City, so he was a little anxious, but when the sixteenth day of the first month really wanted to leave, he was reluctant in every way.

In the end, Luo Fu pushed the crying red-eyed Lori into the car, stood in place and watched the car go away, submerging into the curve in the distance.
