Chapter 589: Small Place

Xu Taiping didn't know, a few women made a bet, Xu Taiping chose whom, and even if the other few lost, they had to promise the person who won one thing, but he didn't expect Xu Taiping to choose anyone, so this bet could only be invalidated.
"Taiping, come out for a drink!" Ah Tu's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Who are they?" asked Xu Taiping.
"Just a few of us fellows, come here, in my restaurant!" said Atu.
"Okay! Wait for me for a few minutes. Xu Taiping agreed, then went back to the room to change his clothes, and went straight to Atu's restaurant.
It was already night, and the streets of the town were flickering with dim streetlights.
Xu Taiping walked into Atu's shop, rubbed his hands, and said, "Why is it getting colder and colder this day?" ”
"I've heard it's going to snow in two days! Ah Tu said as he stir-fryed.
"Hmm!" Xu Taiping nodded and sat down on the table next to him.
At the edge of the table sat a group of young people, all of whom looked to be in their mid-twenties.
"This is the son brought by your Aunt Qiuying, and it is also my son, you can call him Xiao Mo. Ah Tu pointed to one of the handsome boys.
Xu Taiping knew that Ah Tu and Qiu Ying were both married for the second time, so it was reasonable for Qiu Ying to bring such a young son.
"Hello!" Xu Taiping nodded to the other party
"Hello!" Xiao Mo greeted Xu Taiping with a smile.
"These are my son's classmates. Ah Tu said, pointing to the other young people.
Xu Taiping glanced at those people, there were two men and two women in total, both of whom looked like they were young.
"Are you taking advantage of the winter vacation to come to our Red Flame Town to play?" asked Xu Taiping.
"Yes!" one of them said with a smile, "I heard Xiao Mo say that you will have rime these days, so I came to take a look." ”
"Taiping, why don't you take Xiao Mo and them into the mountains to play these days? You also know, I don't have much time, Xiao Mo came with your Aunt Qiuying, and he is not familiar with this scenic spot. Atu said.
"Yes!" Xu Taiping nodded, "It just so happens that my friends haven't played much in the scenic spot, so why don't we go into the mountain together tomorrow?"
"It's good to dare you, I'm relieved to let them go with you!" Ah Tu said, and picked up the dishes in the iron pot.
This is a dish that Xu Taiping likes to eat, stir-fried pork lungs, and if it is paired with beer, it is really a perfect match.
"Xiao Mo, go get the wine, I have to have two more drinks with your friends tonight!" Ah Tu said.
"Okay!" Xiao Mo nodded, turned around and walked to the side of the cabinet, carrying a case of beer.
"What is this?" asked a good-looking girl frowning at the steaming pig lungs on the table.
"This is pork lung, I just bought it this morning, it's absolutely fresh and delicious!" Ah Tu laughed.
"Pig lungs?!Isn't that pig offal, it's disgusting!" The girl shook her head and said, "I don't eat this, do you have anything else to eat?"
"Business is better today, and there is nothing to eat. There's still some peanuts, I'll fry them, okay?" asked Atu.
"Peanuts? That's still it, I'm not used to eating these things, Xiao Mo, I'm going to sleep, I won't play with you, remember to call me tomorrow." The girl said, and didn't say hello to the others, but turned around and walked upstairs.
"I'll help you make the bed!" Xiao Mo hurriedly followed the girl upstairs.
"Let me ask you, classmate, is this girl doll my Xiao Mo's girlfriend?" asked in a low voice.
"How is that possible, Shu Ting has been chased by many people, but Xiao Mo is also one of her suitors, this time Xiao Mo mainly wants to invite Shu Ting to play with you!" a boy said.
"So that's the case, I'm still thinking that it's my little Mo's girlfriend, so attentive. Atu scratched his head and said.
"Xiao Mo's family conditions are good, and I can't look down on Xiao Mo. Another girl on the side said.
Ah Tu smiled awkwardly, and then said, "Come, in the countryside, there are no good things, everyone will eat something." ”
"It's going to happen. The boy who spoke before took the chopsticks, flipped the contents of the plate, and said, "You guys are really not particular about this small place, how dirty this plate is, forget it, I won't eat it anymore, I'll go up." ”
After saying that, the boy also went upstairs.
The other remaining men and women glanced at each other, and then said to Ah Tu together, "Uncle Tu, we don't eat anymore, we don't get hungry, let's go upstairs to rest!"
After saying that, the two also went upstairs together.
"There are many rules in this city. Ah Tu said with a smile, not at all angry at all because of the other party's impoliteness.
In fact, there are a lot of people in the city who have seen this business of Atu, and I don't know how many of this kind of young people in front of me have seen, and they will feel angry and angry at first, but now it has no impact at all.
"Today's young people lack tutors. Xu Taiping took chopsticks and said with a piece of pig lung.
"The people in the city are not smaller than us, they have never seen anything like us, it is inevitable, it doesn't matter. Atu said with a smile.
"There is no distinction between the city and the countryside. Xu Taiping shook his head, he already had a little resistance to taking these young people to the mountains to play tomorrow.
"Don't mind. Ah Tu bent down and picked up the beer on the ground, opened the beer, handed a bottle to Xu Taiping, and said, "They don't drink it, let's drink some and go one." ”
Xu Taiping took the wine with a smile and drank most of the bottle in one gulp.
"It's so cool!" Xu Taiping put the pork lungs in his mouth, felt the crispiness, and said, "I have also eaten stir-fried pork lungs in other places, but they are not as fragrant as yours." ”
"That's not it, I'm firewood, stir-fry on a big fire, by the way, Taiping, I heard a lot of blind dates talk about you today. Ah Tu said suddenly.
"What did you say about me?" Xu Taiping asked.
"It's not a nice word, what an ungrateful eater, Taiping, everyone is a villager, although they have their faults, but the so-called distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, you are alone in our town, you still have to have a good relationship with the villagers. Atu said.
"I know. Xu Taiping nodded and said, "What else did you say about me?"
"That's all, there are quite a lot of people talking about it, and now everyone is saying it on the streets. Atu said.
"That's not enough, I've been talked about even worse outside, don't you live a good life?" Xu Taiping smiled.
"You have a big heart, just like your father, hey, when I see you, I think of your father, a character like your father, it's a pity. Ah Tu said with emotion.
"It's all in the past. Xu Taiping shook his head with a smile and said, "No matter how my dad is, won't he become loess, but Uncle Tu, where is my dad buried, do you know?"
"I don't know, when your father found me and handed me the box, he said that he knew that his days were short, and then he left our town, and I don't know where he ended up. Ah Tu shook his head.
"This makes it, and I can't help but give him a pillar of incense. Xu Taiping said helplessly.
"It's enough to have a father in my heart, come, drink one!" Ah Tu picked up the wine bottle and touched Xu Taiping.
The two chatted while drinking, and it didn't take long for Xiao Mo to come down from upstairs.
Xiao Mo's face was not good.
"Dad, didn't I tell you earlier, today there are guests at home, let you prepare some good things, why did you prepare such things!" Xiao Mo pointed to the things on the table and said.
"Isn't this good? I also added shrimp and fish, but today Lao Wang next door just caught it, and this pig's trotters, which are the local pork of the farmer's house, and they can't eat this kind of meat in the city!"
"Fish, meat, who hasn't eaten it, you have to have that kind of uneaten, game or something, don't you know how to prepare?
"Do you know how expensive wild meat is, and you may not be able to buy it, but today I heard someone say that they hit a king cobra, but that one costs 2,000, who in our family can afford to eat it!" said Ah Tu.
"I finally asked Shu Ting to come to our house to play, you are so embarrassed to me, I'm so angry, I don't want to talk to you anymore!" Xiao Mo stomped his feet in annoyance, then turned around and walked away.
"This kid, what's the matter, this pig's trotters are his favorite food, and this braised fish, what a good thing, what do you dislike?" asked Ah Tu puzzled.
"Boys who are courting girls are especially concerned about how they behave in front of girls. Xu Taiping said.
"I really don't understand what young people are thinking now!" Ah Tu shook his head helplessly.
At this moment, there was a sudden sound of footsteps at the top of the stairs, and then, Xiao Mo walked down the stairs with a group of his classmates, and then walked out.
"What are you doing here?" asked Atu.
"We're going to set off fireworks!" Xiao Mo said.
"Fireworks, what fireworks are there before the New Year? It's cold!" said Atu.
"Leave us alone, Shu Ting, let's go, the fireworks released under the night sky like this in our countryside are super beautiful!" Xiao Mo said to that Shu Ting flatteringly.
"Well, I'm looking forward to it!" Shu Ting said with a smile.
A group of people said this as they walked out.
"Set off fireworks in the open field, not in the town, you know?"
"Got it, I don't need to say it. Xiao Mo said.
"Today's children, the older they are, the more they can't manage it. Ah Tu sighed helplessly.
Xu Taiping picked up the wine bottle and said, "Drink our wine and let the young people go to play." ”
"Drink!" Ah Tu touched Xu Taiping with the wine bottle, and then drank the wine in the bottle.
Not long after the two of them drank, they heard the sound of firework explosions outside.
Brilliant colored light flashed from time to time outside the door, which was very beautiful.
Xu Taiping looked at these lights and frowned slightly, it was not difficult to see from the brightness and darkness of these lights that these fireworks exploded not far away.
The sound of fireworks continued for more than ten minutes before stopping, and at that moment, a shout suddenly came from outside the door.
"Oh no, it's on fire!!"
