The two of them didn't speak, and handed over the priority to her, Xu Manli pondered for a long time, and still chose the bedroom facing west in Yantai. That bedroom won't be exposed to the rising sun, making it easier to sleep in. The remaining two bedrooms, Su Minxuan's one is the same, it doesn't matter. Both of them sneak into whose bedroom have a result, whatever!

The three of them roughly allocated their respective rooms, Qi Jingtao looked at the time, it was almost 2 o'clock at noon, and the time agreed between him and Qi Jinghong, the second brother of the village party secretary, was approaching. Looking at Su Min, who was full of interest in decorating their new nest, said: "Amin, you arrange it first, I'll go to my parents' side, and the second brother should come over soon." ”

"Go quickly, don't let the second brother wait, we will arrange it here, you don't have to worry about it." ”

Su Min knew that Qi Jingtao was talking about the second brother, and knew that Qi Jingtao had made an appointment with Qi Jinghong, the village party secretary, and was going to come to the orchard today to discuss things, urging Qi Jingtao to go quickly. Decorate the room, in addition to carrying large items, will Qi Jingtao arrange it? Don't stay here and make a mess.

How to arrange and take care of the room is Su Min's own business, Xu Manli will worry about the study, and Qi Jingtao has no room to interfere. Qi Jingtao didn't worry about it anymore, Xu Manli was already very familiar with his habit of placing items, and would help him arrange it. I went downstairs and walked through the courtyard flowers, and as soon as I came to the outside of the main building, I saw my father and Qi Jinghong sitting in the long pavilion by the reservoir, each holding a hookah and smoking a hookah.

The promenade-style pavilion that was originally built on the edge of the reservoir has now almost become Qi Zhengming's exclusive resting spot, smoking spot, reception spot, and office spot.

In the pavilion, there are seventy or eighty hookahs of all kinds, large and small, and the scene is spectacular when you slip against the long pavilion. This hookah is a terrible object, and in most rural areas of Caiyun Province, as long as there are men, there will definitely be a hookah.

Caiyun people are not strange about hookahs and don't need to explain. If you don't know the hookah, don't say that you are a Caiyun person, Caiyun doesn't have you, we Caiyun people don't recognize this kind of fool. People from other provinces don't necessarily know what the hookah is mentioned N times in the book, and they don't necessarily know what the hookah means to Caiyun people. How to describe it? Let's put it this way, I don't know if I can give people from other provinces who don't know what a hookah is, and have a certain understanding of hookah.

In the rural areas of Yunnan Province, people who have been tired from a day's work gather in groups. Holding a hookah made of bamboo or some column-shaped object in his arms, and putting a pack of tobacco shreds next to him, grunting, grunting, purring, chatting about the growth of crops in the field, the weddings and funerals of the neighbors, while passing the hookah, you have a few sips, I have a few sips. Harmony and nature, make people fascinated.

When guests and friends come to the house, several people sit in the hall or courtyard, holding a hookah in their arms, purring, purring, purring, chatting calmly, swaying freely, without the embarrassment of the cold scene.

When a person has nothing to do or is tired of work, when he goes to set up a stall on the street to do business, he holds a hookah, pinchs a pinch of tobacco in his hand, gurgles, gurts, gurts, kills time, cultivates himself, and waits for visitors.

In the south of Caiyun, not only in the countryside, but also in the city, there are hookahs everywhere. Even in those institutions, enterprises and institutions, as long as it is not a very high-end public place, you can always see a man holding a hookah. Many offices have hookahs, and there are many leading cadres from the south of Caiyun who like to smoke hookahs.

Not to mention in those urban families, even if no one in the host's house smokes, hookahs and tobacco are also must-haves, otherwise what if the guests who smoke hookahs come?

The hookah is in central Yunnan and even the whole province, that is, the "little wife" of men. If people from other provinces visit some Bazi villages in Yunnan Province and hear men wandering around, their mouths are still crooked: "My little wife pinch?" "Where is my little wife?" "Who took my little wife away?" and "Compensate me for my little wife." Words like that.

Don't get me wrong, he's just looking for his own hookah, maybe, it's a problem for him to feed himself, what kind of little wife can he afford there. He may not be able to support himself, but the hookah is an essential item for him.

Many smokers come home from outside, not busy washing the dirt and dust on their bodies, not busy eating and drinking tea, and not busy making love with their wives, but hugging their "little wives" and taking a few puffs. The hookah is always held in his arms and smoked, and the Caiyun man who likes to smoke the hookah definitely spends more time holding the hookah than holding his wife!

Guests from other provinces come to the south of Caiyunzhi, if you see a professional beggar begging for food on the street holding a hookah, grunting, purring, purring, it is also very pleasing to see. Whoever prescribes a beggar can't, grunt, that's normal.

There are more magical classics in the hookah, Qi Jingtao used to hear a World War II veteran of the Qi family in the village brag, saying that they went out of the province to fight the war of resistance and fight the little devils. In the early days of the 60th Army, which was adapted from the well-equipped Dian Army, was almost scared to pee in the early days of the province.

Why? The 60th Army is fully equipped with French-style equipment, which is already well-equipped enough. In addition to weapons and ammunition, each soldier of the Dian Army carried two magic weapons - Caiyun Baiyao (called Baibaodan at that time) and hookahs.

The hookah resembles the special shape of a small steel cannon and is relatively large. In order to facilitate the carrying on the march, the soldiers of the Dian army sewed a backpack with a cloth bag and marched with a hookah on their backs. Those little devils who were so frightened that they didn't know why they thought that the Dian army had been extravagant enough to equip them with a small steel cannon. They only know that the Chinese army has the famous double spearmen, but they don't know that there are any artillery units equipped with small steel cannons. The unique equipment of the Yunnan army really scared a group of people, and although the famous battle in the TEZ area, the fierce battle of the Yunnan army exposed their hookahs, but the life-saving medicine Baibaodan became famous.

After Qi Zhengming managed the granary river orchard, there were more things to do, and more people were looking for him. Those who work in the orchard also like to come and sit in the gazebo when they are resting. The old men in the village who come to wander around the orchard are more accustomed to coming to the long pavilion to sit. They are all old brothers and old-timers in the village, who come to serve with natural hookahs. There is something to talk about, nothing to smoke, rest, chat and brag. Much of the work, big and small, in the orchard, was handled in this gazebo, with the gurgling and gurgling of hookahs.

Therefore, there are many hookahs that need to be prepared in advance. There are public hookahs prepared by Qi Zhengming for hospitality, his own special hookahs, spare hookahs brought by people who often come here, and all kinds of hookahs that Qi Jingtao bought for his father when he saw a novel style of cigarette pipes when he was running to the county. Over time, the promenade pavilion is about to become a hookah showroom.

Without further ado, let's get back to business.

Qi Jingtao saw that the guests he invited had already come, and he couldn't let the guests only smoke hookahs, he was a village party secretary and an official.

Qi Jingtao had a few more bottles of fruit juice drinks in his hand, went straight to the pavilion, and greeted him with a smile: "Second brother, are you here?"

"You kid, if you don't make it clear on the phone, I have to climb the mountain and come to your orchard on a hot day. Your kid is getting bigger and bigger now, dare to play with your second brother?" Qi Jinghong, who was smoking with a hookah, raised his head and scolded with a smile. Looking at the sweat stains on his face, he was indeed tired.

"Hehe, I'm too lazy to climb the mountain to find you, drive to the village committee to find you, don't you want to say that I'm setting up a score and putting on a show? Come on, drink a bottle of drink to quench your thirst. Qi Jingtao smiled and laughed with the second brother of the village party secretary, sat on the stone bench next to the Qi branch secretary, put a few bottles of juice drinks in his hand on the stone table, unscrewed one and handed it to Qi Jinghong.

At noon in September in central Yunnan, the weather was hot, and Qi Jinghong, who had climbed the mountain, was also thirsty. Drink half a bottle in one go before smashing it and smashing your mouth: "It's still your juice drink to quench your thirst, the taste is also pure, cool and thirst-quenching, good thing." ”
