Chapter 41 Old man, don't cause trouble, but don't be afraid of it.
"Liu Dajun, right?" Mr. Fan suddenly saw the clue, "Is Lao Yang okay?" By the way, your girlfriend, what is your name Xiaomin, didn't you come today?"
"Xiao Liu, what's going on? Do you still have a girlfriend?"
Uncle Zhang asked sharply.
"Shanshan, do you know about this?" Aunt Lin also made a straight face.
"Uncle Zhang, Aunt Lin, she and I have been separated for a long time. I muttered.
"Mom, Dad, I know. The army has told me all. Shanshan said resolutely.
"Young man, you can't change your mind!" Mr. Fan shook his head, "I think that girl is very beautiful, why did you dump others?
"I don't want to explain the reason for the breakup here. I stood up, "Uncle Zhang, Aunt Lin, I just want to say one thing: I have a clear conscience." Trust me. ”
"Sit down, let's drink. Uncle Zhang's face was ugly.
"Shan, Zhang Shan," Barron said, "You have to see clearly! Some people are very attentive." ”
"I don't need you to remind me, I trust my eyes. Zhang Shan said angrily.
"Forget it, let's not talk about it" Barron changed the topic very much, "I'll tell you about our Cambridge, Xu Zhimo's farewell Kangqiao, it's very beautiful." ”
"I don't want to hear it. Shanshan turned her head and smiled like a flower, "Dajun, I want to know what the story of "The Peacock Princess" is outside, do you know?"
What a good girl! Not only believe me, but also want me to have a long face in front of her parents.
Fortunately, after Yangtze River told me, I was curious, so I checked it on the Internet, and now I can show off.
"Peacocks and elephants are both mascots of the Dai people!
There's a beautiful legend here:
Three or four hundred years ago, in the distant and beautiful Xishuangbanna, the head of the people called Meng (me
g) Hai's son Zhao Shutun is handsome, smart and strong, and there are many girls who like him, but he has not yet found his sweetheart
One day, his hunter friend said to him, "Tomorrow seven beautiful girls will fly to Langsina Lake to swim, and the wisest and most beautiful of them is the Seven Maidens, Lanwu Rona
g) Hide, she can't fly away, she will stay and be your wife. The next day, he came to the shore of Langsina Lake.
Sure enough, seven light peacocks flew from afar, and when they landed on the lake, they became seven young girls, and they danced gracefully and softly, especially the seventh princess Lan Wurona, who danced very moving!
This is the girl I've been looking for, and Zhao Shutun immediately fell in love with her. He did as the hunter friend said, and when Lan Wurona's sister flew away, and when she was the only one left, Zhao Shutun walked out with a peacock in his hand.
Lan Wurona looked at him and didn't speak for a long time, but the affection had been passed from her eyes. Needless to say, Zhao Shutun married his beloved bride.
Soon after they were married, the neighboring tribes started a war, and in order to defend their homeland, they bravely summoned Shutun to go out with an army.
In the early days of the war, there was news of the defeat and retreat of Zhaoshutun every day, and seeing that the war was about to burn to his own territory, Zhaomenghai was so anxious that he was in a hurry. At this moment, a vicious sorcerer slandered him: "Lan Wurona is a monster, she is the one who brings disaster and misfortune, if you don't kill her, the war will definitely fail!"
Zhao Menghai was dizzy, so he listened to him and decided to burn the beautiful peacock princess to death.
The war is over, and Zhao Shutun returns triumphantly, but he hears bad news. I felt that the sky was spinning, and I fainted to the ground. When he woke up, all he wanted was to get her back: I can't live without her, what's the point of my life without her?
He found his hunter friend and asked him to find out that Lan Wurona's hometown was far away. Stepping on his horse, Zhao Shutun set off again, carrying three golden arrows with magical power from his hunter friend, and with his unswerving love for Lan Wurona, he overcame many difficulties and came to the entrance of a valley. The mouth of the valley was sealed by two elephant-like mountains, and Zhao Shutun shot a way out with the first golden arrow and entered the valley. After a long and arduous struggle, no matter how scarred he was, no matter how unpredictable the future was, he finally arrived at the hometown of the Peacock Princess.
However, because the king of the Peacock Kingdom felt that the people of Zhaoshutun were unfair to Lan Wuluona, he decided to test whether Zhaoshutun had the ability to protect Lan Wuluona, otherwise he would not let Lan Wurona go back. The king had his seven daughters stand behind the gauze tent with candles on their heads, and asked Zhao Shutun to find his wife and extinguish the candle with arrows. Zhao Shutun calmed down in his heart, and with his thoughts of Lan Wu Luona, he used the second golden arrow to extinguish the candle flame above Lan Wu Luona's head, and finally got the moment to reunite with the Peacock Princess. They hugged again with tears in their eyes, vowing never to be separated.
When he returned home, he asked his father to find out that it was the vicious wizard who framed Lan Wurona, so he went to the wizard to take revenge. The wizard was actually a vulture, and when he heard that Zhao Shutun was coming to him, he immediately turned into his original form and flew into the sky to escape, but Zhao Shutun drew out the last golden arrow, and the righteous qi shot the evil wizard to death like lightning with the arrow.
Since then, the story of the peacock princess, which symbolizes peace and happiness, has also been widely circulated among the Dai people, infecting the hearts of generations of people."
"Ahh
"Yes, I still choose to believe this, there is beautiful love, but can you find it?"
I sighed solemnly.
"Zhang Shan, what's so touching about this?" Barron dismissed, "I'll tell you about Western civilization." ”
In his mind, civility is not loud in public, cleanliness and politeness towards female gentlemen.
"The performance of our people, alas, is not flattering," Barron said disdainfully.
"I heard Guan Zi say, 'Cangli actually knows etiquette, and if you have enough food and clothing, you know honor and disgrace'" I commented lightly, "We who are deeply trapped by poverty, as long as we revive again and restore thousands of years of excellent traditions, isn't it just around the corner"?
"Well, our army is right!" Qingqing carried a little appreciation, with a little admiration.
"You, why do you keep saying he's good? Don't be fooled by his rhetoric!" Barron finally stopped being a gentleman, "Look at him, what's there? Dressed in tatters, stalls, right? Look at me again, this suit, he's going to earn it for years!"
"Yes, your suit looks good, but he bought the clothes of the army himself!"
Zhang Shan's black eyes rolled.
"You," Barron was speechless.
When he was embarrassed, three little Dai beauties wearing green, purple and yellow peacock costumes walked in outside the door, dancing in the gourd silk of a Dai man wrapped in a turban.
The cabaret show began.
Then there was a warm toast to the guests.
When the performance was over, I quickly gave a tip of 100 yuan per person.
"Liu, what, I'm going to drink with you!" Van Baren was about to duel.
"Junjun, can you still drink?" Qingqing asked me quietly.
"It's fine. "I poured out the wine in the wine dispenser, opened another bottle, divided half a catty, and put it in the wine dispenser. When he squinted, Uncle Zhang looked concerned, his heart was hot, and he nodded.
When I was in my hometown, every time I went to a professional bank to check the work, I would not be able to stand the enthusiasm of the owner and fight for wine.
Once, Takami, the president of the Agricultural Bank of China, called 4 beautiful women and drank with 2 of us.
The first beauty toasted each of us 2 cups, called "Erhongxi", the second saluted 4 cups, the scientific name was "Four Seasons Cai"; the third, 6 cups, the reason was "Six Great Shun", the fourth, 8 cups, commonly known as "Eight Horses", and finally, the president concluded, hehe, sorry, 10 cups, "Ten perfect supplements".
The cup is not big, three dollars a cup.
My colleague Lao Duan (with whom I learned the technique of peeling fruits) came first. Before he finished drinking, he poured heroically on the wine table.
It's my turn, it's okay, usually at home, our three brothers often cook wine and talk about heroes. In the two big families of Liu and Yang, with the three brothers as the unit, we call ourselves the second, and no one dares to say the first.
After drinking the 30 small glasses prescribed by the governor one by one (he is the wine commander, you have to listen to the chief!), I launched a counterattack.
Drink them one by one, definitely not!
The enemy is strong and we are weak, so we must use our tactics to quickly reverse the unfavorable situation of the battle and firmly grasp the initiative on the battlefield.
Clausewitz said: The best defense is offense!
"Commander Gao (this title is not like the puppet army leader in "Tunnel War", and he still slaps on the back of the Japanese devils, high, really high), it's not interesting for us to drink like this. Besides, the small cup, it can't show your majesty and atmosphere, right?
After speaking, I grabbed a new bottle of Luzhou Laojiao, and after opening it skillfully, it was divided into two, and the two large glasses were full, shining with crystal and dazzling light.
"You choose one person," I declared with the arrogance of Huashan (we must first overwhelm the enemy in momentum), "we will drink half a catty each, and then, another bottle, and drink it separately, until someone falls down first, what do you think?"
Seeing that Governor Gao was a little suspicious, I then added:
"It's not that you don't dare to fight, do you? That's fine, as long as you hoist the banner of exemption from battle, we will stop here today. ”
Dared!
"Who said I wouldn't dare, I'll come first. Gao Xingchang pulled up his sleeves and slapped the horse to kill.
Wait, why are you here first? Each of you will give me half a bottle, and I have to go to see Du Kang's old man.
"Ah, let me say a few more words, the younger brother may not have explained the rules clearly. "Seeing the president wincing at a few beauties, I calmly coped with it.
That's it at the wine table, the wine commander can't be the commander all the time. As soon as someone proposes a new rule, congratulations, you're ready to take office, and remember, get your inaugural speech draft!
"What if, Governor, you and I finish drinking the first one, what if you want to change people?" I looked at him, and then looked at everything and said, "Little brother, I allow you to change people"!
Everyone snickered, yes! Today I met a big fool (a little brother who often appears in Hong Kong movies).
"But," I slowly added, "the new general must first submit his name, that is, to make up for the wine I have already drunk, and this handsome will not kill the unknown people."
"Huh?"
According to my 10 years of experience in crisscrossing Jiuhu Lake, some people, you must not drink slowly with him, otherwise, after three days and three nights, you have already dreamed of Zhou Gong, who is still there laughing and talking about Fengyue;
To deal with the former, we must drink hard and know how to do it; when we encounter the latter, don't be afraid, slow work and meticulous work!
As the saying goes, you can play a marathon with a Go master, and then go with a sumo wrestler!
My cousin Napoleon famously said: A tailor who does not want to be a general is not a good cook.
Of course, if you happen to meet a good student with all-round development of "morality, intelligence, physique, beauty, and labor", then what, oh, my mother told me to go home for dinner? Okay, okay, see you back!
Generally speaking, most people are not trained to drink alcohol. Even if he drank slowly, he could get that amount.
Despite this, the buddy was still very tragic that day, because, in the face of absolute strength, any plan would seem so vulnerable!
Governor Gao is a man!
When he only drank three taels less than me, he happily tasted the first half catty with me, and at the second half catty and a half scale, the wine fell down without browsing.
I'm miserable!
Because of the need to show personal heroism, in the second half catty, the first work is respectful, which greatly breaks through the limits of self. I supported myself, walked three steps to hold an electric pole, or ran seven steps to hug the street tree, and staggered back to the grove in front of the bank.
When I woke up in the morning, I found that I was sleeping with a stray dog, and I suddenly realized that I felt a little crowded at night, and I told my wife to stay away from me.
I quickly finished half a bottle. Looking back, Van Barren reluctantly finished his 40-proof whiskey.
"Good amount of wine!" An old man said like a bell, I don't know who he is praising him?
The second half bottle started again, and when I drank it, I felt some wine swelling up, and I swallowed hard and held it down.
Van Baren, after only 1/3 of the drink, turned pale and couldn't drink anymore.
"Boy, are you okay? Don't hold on. Another old man asked with concern.
"Dead old man, who are you helping?" Barron finally couldn't help it, "Daddy, Mommy, they bullied me!"
"You, you, you. The old man was so angry that he couldn't speak. In the Lin family, no one dared to scold him like this.
"Barron, hurry up and apologize to my brother-in-law! Mr. Fan hurriedly stood up and reprimanded.
"Mommy, they ganged up to bully me, Daddy still wants me to apologize, you have to help me! That hillbilly, why did he rob me and rob Shanshan? My father, my father is Fan Gang! My grandfather, my grandfather is the deputy district head, I, I am a Cambridge master, Xiao Qisan. "Incoherent.
There are four stages of drinking: the first stage ,,, sweet talk, the second stage ,,, bold talk, the third stage ,,, gibberish, and the fourth stage ,,, silence.
"Oh, Barron, my son, don't drink if you can't drink it! How do you know that little red guy like that? Apologize? I think I should apologize to my Barron!"
Mrs. Fan ran over in a few steps, patting her son's back in pain.
"Mommy, you still feel sorry for me, old man, am I right? I'm such an excellent person, Zhang Shan doesn't choose me, I think she is blind, just cheap!
He didn't see that the two old men had already walked up to him.
"Smack", a crisp sound.
"Dead old man, you dare to hit me! Do you know who Young Master Ben is?"
"Smack", the right slap is more brittle.
"I'll educate you for your father, you keep saying that you are civilized, don't you know how to respect the old and love the young? Xiao Liu is good, you are so insulting, everyone has endured it, and you still want to be good with our little Shanshan? There is no door, let alone a window!"
"Yes, Shanshan, this girl, we are two old men, but I watched her grow up, how smart, sensible, and filial, and her salary also bought us wine and drink. We're here for the right day, and we're here to make sure it's done. ”
"Grandpa, uncle, thank you. ”
Zhang Shan's eyes were shining and she walked over, holding an old man in one hand.
No wonder, our family Shanshan, the family conditions are so good, living in a villa, driving a Mercedes-Benz, but dressed very ordinary, later, I learned that the money given by her parents, she saved, and most of her own salary bought wine for the elderly.
Got the right person, this time.
A person who does not know how to be filial, will he be good to you?
Let's raise the pillow!
I was very moved, but at that time, I couldn't say anything, I couldn't do anything, I just stood stupidly, just my eyes, and I kept following Shanshan's face with admiration.
"Dead old man, I can't bear it, if you dare to beat my son, I will fight with you!"
The jewels have become mountain shrews!
In the persuasion of Aunt Lin and Mr. Fan, Fang Cai stopped in anger.
"You, I said earlier, a loving mother has many defeated children. Mr. Fan was very faceless, "Wei Yi, let's go first, and then come to the door another day to apologize." I hope it doesn't affect the relationship between the two of us. ”
"It's okay, even if you can't be a family of children, the relationship between our two old classmates is iron, don't worry. ”
Uncle Zhang stood up and snorted haha.
"Apologize? Why? Daddy, you are confused!" Xiao Fen spoke again, "It's Zhang Shan's vixen who has no eyesight, why are we wrong?"
Hey, why are there always so many people, once they go abroad, they don't learn the good ones, and the Confucian tradition is lost?
"Smack". This crisp sound was made by me for my girlfriend!
"You can insult me or even beat me, but against Shanshan, you can't!"
Shanshan was so moved that tears rolled down her eyes, and she rushed over and hugged me tightly.
"Little Red Guy, you wait!" Xiao Fen was angry, "One day, Lao Tzu will not kill you!"
"Okay, Xiao Liu, I'm not wrong old man!" The old man laughed loudly, "My own woman has been insulted, and she still doesn't squeak, not a big husband! ”
Then he said, "That kid who sees what he sees, what a bridge listens, you are not the opponent of Xiao Liu, I can see it, this kid is deeply hidden! However, people are well cultivated! At a young age, they know how to forbear and abstain from impatience, old man, I am convinced!"
"Hmph, Liu, hello, very good, let's go. Mr. Fan shook his hand angrily and left first. Van Balen and his mother stared at me like a viper, and walked out of the private room quickly.
"Forget it, they're gone, our family continues, don't let his mother affect the mood"!
Uncle Zhang pulled me to sit down and beckoned everyone to sit down.
I was blown away by the tremendous joy of the family.
"Xiao Liu," Uncle Zhang raised his glass, "I respect you, as a father, Shanshan handed it over to you, and her mother and I are relieved." ”
"Yes, in the future, with this son-in-law, no one will dare to bully our family" Aunt Lin also looked at me with satisfaction, how pleasing to the eye.
"Mom, what are you talking about?" Xiao Ni blushed this time.
"Hahaha, don't talk about it, this kid has a temper with me, drinking!" said the old man.
"Seniors, Uncle Zhang, Aunt Lin, I respect you, do it first. I raised my glass and drank it all. Then, drink two more glasses in a row.
"Good job, bold!" Uncle Zhang held up his thumb.
Drank for a while.
"Xiao Liu, there are no outsiders here, can you tell me why Lao Fan said that you dumped your girlfriend?"
Uncle Zhang was still a little worried.
"yes, he also said that the girl is pretty too!"
Aunt Lin is also very concerned.
"Okay, elders, I didn't want to speak ill of my ex-girlfriend, but I should tell you the truth, so that I can be worthy of Qingqing's deep affection!"
Then I said how difficult it was when I first came to the East China Sea, considering that she had no mother since she was a child, and she was helpless in the East China Sea, so I forgave her for the first time she and Lao Mi went out of the wall, who knows, for the sake of material, she finally ran away with a successful person.
During the narration, my voice was low and uncomfortable. After all, it's a shame in my life, and now, once again, uncovering the scars that have almost healed, my heart really hurts.
"Junjun, she doesn't know how good you are, but she is not blessed. ”
Clear eyes with tears.
Maybe she finally knew what I was going through, and finally understood why I refused to be nice to her in the first place.
"Oh, now we get it. ”
Uncle Zhang and Aunt Lin were relieved.
Next, I saluted the 4 elders separately, and Qingqing had to pull me to salute together.
When respecting Uncle Zhang, he said with a sigh. "Xiao Liu is good, he is an all-round talent!"
"Uncle has won the award, I only talk more with the people who are in love. ”
"Well, the army is serious in the unit, like a stuffy gourd. Shanshan smiled and exposed me.
"Hahaha, maybe the wine is in place today, right?
My uncle laughed too.
"Yes," I said, "wine is a good thing, and it has been said that if you invite only one friend to dinner, bring out the first-rate wine, and if you invite two, bring out the second-rate wine!"
"Hahaha," everyone was amused, and the little girl laughed so hard that she threw herself on me, and I was so frightened that I hurriedly pushed it, and the little grandfather said loudly, "Alas, I'm old, and I can't see anything." ”
Lovely old man!
"By the way" laughed for a while, Uncle Zhang suddenly asked me, "Zhang Shan said, the tea you sent is very expensive, and it costs more than 20,000 pounds?"
"Ah, that's nothing. Anyway, it was sent by my classmates. Besides, if you know tea, you can be regarded as the king of tea, and you have found a good family. ”
"Xiao Liu, you, then thank you. Uncle Zhang was moved.
"Qingqing, come home with me later, take those tea sets home, give the sword to the hero, and the tea set to the connoisseur. ”
"Xiao Liu, how dare you do this, you are too polite" Aunt Lin was embarrassed.
"Mom and Dad, take it, Junjun is not an outsider. Shanshan was very generous, and a look of my decision drew a burst of laughter.
When I went out, the Dai beauties said "good Han", and I also clasped my hands together, "such as Lijin Bay".
In the taxi, looking at her drunken face, I knew that there was medicine for lovesickness.
