Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, because of the rescue on the road, a little delay of time, at this time it is more than six o'clock in the evening, the sky is gradually darkening, the whole villa, has been lit up.

Wu Fan promised his cousin Boss Guo to eat before leaving, because everyone didn't eat hot meals all the way, only snacks, and the children of Master Ma's family always said that they were hungry and cried from time to time.

"Master Wu, bring your friends, all of them go to the dining room to drink and eat, the cooking here is hot, and the air is spicy to death. Fan Junsheng stood at the door of the kitchen, choked and sneezed, and looked at Wu Fan Dao respectfully.

"I'm sorry, Xiao Fan, your aunt is not sensible, so she brought you here for dinner. Boss Guo was honestly afraid, went into the kitchen, and pulled Wu Fan's arm.

"Okay, let's all go to the dining room. Wu Fan didn't mind, and beckoned Master Huang Shuigen Ma and others to go out.

At the other end of the hall is a spacious dining room with a large round table. Seeing Wu Fan and the others sit down, Fan Junsheng turned pale, looked straight at Boss Guo, and said:

"Boss Guo, I didn't expect your family to be so hospitable, Master Wu is the lifesaver of my family, even if it's not, you can't divide people into three, six, nine and so on. Oh, because I'm the chairman, I eat in the dining room, and they work part-time, they are workers, so they are arranged in the kitchen. Confucian courtesy, righteousness, benevolence, wisdom and faith, you don't have anything at all, how dare I do business with someone like you. ”

"Fan Dong, these are all losers who are not sensible, you have a lot of adults, please forgive me this time. Boss Guo's face was pale, so frightened that he didn't dare to come out, and kept nodding his head and bowing his waist.

"Smack, smack—"

Wu Shufen, who was standing next to Boss Guo, raised her hand and slapped herself twice.

"It's all my fault, Chairman Fan, I look at people with dog eyes, please forgive me. Wu Shufen wanted to cry without tears and pleaded.

"I, I can forgive you, but I also want to look at Master Wu's opinion, if he says that people like you are not worth coming, we will leave immediately and go to the big hotel to eat, it is better than being in your house. Fan Junsheng's tone was still stern.

Fan Junsheng's wife and children all walked over, looking at the scene in front of them, with anger on their faces, and they all glanced at Boss Guo and his wife with disdain.

"Fan Dong, dissipate your anger, my aunt and uncle are both good people, because you are a distinguished guest, and I am afraid of bumping into you, so I arranged it like this. Sit down, it's all served. Wu Fan said.

"Okay, Master Wu has a lot of them, and he has said so, so I can't deal with you Boss Guo. Come, all sit down, everyone is hungry. Fan Junsheng commanded.

Sumptuous wine and food, delicacies, some of which even Wu Fan has never eaten, not to mention Master Ma's family. Worker Xiao Pang Xiaohe, after hearing the name of the dish, his eyes lit up and he frequently raised chopsticks.

Boss Guo and his wife are quick with their hands and feet, and they keep adding wine to everyone to persuade them to drink. Wu Shufen walked to Wu Fan's side several times, "Ah Fan" and "Ah Fan", called very affectionately, poured Wu Fan full of wine, and said that today is the Mid-Autumn Festival, just stay here for a night, and it is best to rush home early tomorrow morning.

Wu Fan responded that he had to rush back to visit his grandfather.

In the hall, everyone was staggered, the atmosphere was becoming more and more harmonious, and the previous unhappiness had disappeared.

"Master Wu, don't go back to the village tonight, I can help you book a room in a five-star hotel in the city. Fan Junsheng said.

"Fan Dong, you are too polite, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, we must rush home. Wu Fan said.

After eating and drinking, it was already more than eight o'clock, Wu Fan said goodbye to Fan Dong and his aunt and his wife, and Fan Dong and his aunt and his wife sent Wu Fan and his party out of the gate together and watched them drive away.

Fan Dong's family also said goodbye and drove away. Boss Guo's face was ugly, and he said to Wu Shufen a little angrily: "Third Master Wu borrowed money from you that year, did you, a loser, lend it to others?"

"I'm not afraid that his family won't pay it back, I didn't borrow it, you were also present at the time, but you came to complain about me!" Wu Shufen said angrily.

Huang Shuigen drove to Baihe County by national highway. After more than ten kilometers, they had entered the territory of Baihe, and Master Ma's family got off the bus on the side of the road, and their village was not far from the roadside. After getting off at the bus station, Huang Shuigen drove onto the village road and walked more than 20 kilometers to reach Yangjiaoling Village.

"Shuigen, you still have a few miles to go home, drive back, just drive over tomorrow. Wu Fan said, then got out of the car and took out two boxes of mooncakes and a bottle of liquor bought in Gwangju from the trunk.

"Okay, I'll bring you a bag of dried fish tomorrow, my eldest brother said he got a lot. Huang Shuigen waved goodbye and drove directly to Xieshu Village.

It was half past nine, although it was the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, but the villagers were used to going to bed early, and there were only sparse lights in the village of more than 100 households. The bright moon hangs high, mellow like a jade plate, and the sound of frogs constantly sounds, and the whole village seems more and more quiet at night.

After turning a few corners, Wu Fan came to a courtyard with a broken wall, pushed open the broken wooden door, and walked inside by the moonlight. In the hall, an incandescent lamp hung from a wooden beam, the light was dim, and a slender figure sat at a table with only three legs left, the dining table was low, and one corner of the table rested on a bench. On the table was a plate of pumpkin, a plate of bitter wheat vegetables, a bowl of tofu coated with chili powder, and a tube of mooncakes wrapped in paper next to it.

The mooncakes made in the countryside are very simple, mostly five-kernel mooncakes, and four mooncakes are simply wrapped in paper and formed into a cylinder.

"Grandpa!" Wu Fan called.

Wu Sanye's body trembled slightly, he slowly turned around, saw that it was his grandson Wu Fan, and hurriedly stood up.

"Grandpa!" "Fan Zai!"

Wu Fan put down the things in his hand, ran over and hugged Grandpa, and the tears couldn't stop flowing down.

"Grandpa, you don't buy some meat during the holidays, I sent you 5,000 yuan, just buy whatever you want to eat, don't save money. ”

Wu Fan saw that there was no meat dish on the table, and the tube of moon cakes had not been opened, he was usually thrifty, and he treated himself like this, so he became more and more sad, and couldn't help choking.

The reunion of the people and the moon, today's Mid-Autumn Festival, if you come back earlier, it is also good to hold a sumptuous dinner and let Grandpa eat better.

"Fan Zai, I'm busy working in Gwangju, don't come back for the Mid-Autumn Festival, the New Year's holiday is long, and it's good to come back for the New Year." Wu Sanye's eyes were filled with cloudy tears.

"Not busy, not busy!" Wu Fan said. Huang Shuigen is right, he is busy in the big city, he is bent on money, but he ignores his loved ones, and refuses to spend more time with them.

If you don't cherish the present, let your loved ones be lonely and miserable, then what is the meaning of the money earned? What's more, the money is inexhaustible, and if you earn less now, you can earn it back twice as much in the future.

"Grandpa, you sit, let's eat moon cakes together, and drink with moon cakes. ”

Wu Fan wiped away his tears, helped Grandpa to sit on the stool, and brought all the mooncake liquor brought back from Gwangju to the table, opened them all, and poured two bowls of liquor, about forty degrees, Wu Fan was afraid that Grandpa would not be able to drink too much wine.

"This is a snowy mooncake, Grandpa, it's delicious, you can taste it. ”

Wu Fan beckoned his grandfather to eat moon cakes and drink alcohol, saying that he would stay at home for a few days, and the grandfather and grandson chatted. Wu Sanye drank a small half bowl, not enough to drink, Wu Fan helped him to the bedroom to sleep, and continued to drink by himself, after getting drunk, he slept all night in his own bedroom next door, on a wooden bed with three long and two short.

Early in the morning of the second day, when the sky was slightly bright, Wu Fan woke up, got up and washed, and felt the fresh air of the mountain village in the small courtyard. Involuntarily under the luck of the breath, Wu Fan found that the aura in the air was more than twice as strong as that of Gwangju, and immediately sat down on a large stone slab and began to cultivate.

The aura rolled in, poured into the Lao Gong acupoint, and wandered in the meridians of the limbs and hundreds of remains, Wu Fan refused to waste a single thing, silently recited the mental mantra of cultivation, and quickly refined. True Qi merged into the Dantian Qi Sea and fused into the True Balloon Body. Two hours have passed, and the True Balloon Body has almost doubled in size, and the harvest is huge, but unfortunately it has reached the limit of cultivation and cannot continue to refine the spiritual qi into true qi.

Jumping high, Wu Fan felt a hundred times more energetic, and played the moves of martial arts, and his strength was even stronger, whirring. The principles of martial arts are fast, accurate, and ruthless, Wu Fan is familiar with it, and after practicing for half an hour, Wu Fan has a lot of experience.

At this time, Wu Sanye had already gotten up and was going out to cut grass and feed the sheep. In a shed by the door in the yard, there are three goats, which are raised by Wu Sanye, "Baa-" The goats barked from time to time.

"Grandpa, wait for me to mow the grass, you can rest. Wu Fan said.

"You don't know what kind of grass sheep like to eat, Grandpa still does it, or I'll go, pick some vegetables by the way." Wu Sanye resolutely refused to rest, and said that he should move more when he was old, so he went out with a bamboo basket on his back.

"Okay, I'll see if there's any fish for sale, and I'll make breakfast. Wu Fan persuaded him not to move, so he had to follow Grandpa out of the door and walk separately in the direction of the primary school in the village.

The four-story office building of the village committee is beautiful and magnificent, the most luxurious building in the village, and Wu Fan passed by the gate of the fence and saw that the gate was closed. Wu Fan had been in before, and if the people from the village committee were from other villages, there would be rooms to stay in and a large kitchen. Wu Fan's second uncle was often invited to cook because of his good cooking skills, helped the village committee to set up banquets, and received people from above.

The office buildings are in stark contrast to the mud-brick houses of the surrounding villagers, and some families have built small western-style houses, but the decoration is much simpler, some simply do not paint the walls, and do not put external wall tiles, and the red bricks are exposed to the air.

There are four or five natural villages under the jurisdiction of the Sheephorn Ridge Management Area, and the Sheephorn Ridge Village is a large village, as the central village, the village committee is also the management area committee, and there are two brands for a set of teams.

Turning a corner, there is a former elementary school in front of it, which is now abandoned, and in front of the school gate is a large square, which is the center of the village, where most of the villagers live.

Around the square, there are several cars parked, which were bought by villagers who went out to work and earned money. There was a small four-wheeled car parked on the side of the road, surrounded by several adults and children, one of whom carried a fish or two. There were also people selling pork next to it, and half of the slaughtered pigs were placed on the board.

Sure enough, someone was selling fish, and Wu Fan walked in the direction of the small four-wheeler.

"Ah Fan, did you come back last night? Wu Datong also came to the gate of the school, saw Wu Fan, trotted over, and asked with a happy face.

"I went, my uncle said they would come to drink your induction wine, I came back too late last night, so I didn't go to look for you. Wu Fan said.

"Didn't you say you came back by car?" Wu Datong asked again, he had been to Wu Fan's house early in the morning, but he didn't see the car.

"It's Huang Shuigen's car, he took me back, are you also here to buy fish? I also want to buy one to cook breakfast." Wu Fan was in a hurry to buy a good fish, walked a few steps faster, and when he arrived at the small four-wheeler, he saw that half of the water in the carriage was loaded, and the black nylon membrane was leak-proof underneath, and there were more than a dozen grass carp, silver carp, and big-headed fish.

Fish ponds with poor water quality or over-nutrient water quality produce much darker fish. For example, the fish pond where domestic sewage flows into, the water is turquoise and close to black, and the fish raised are not only fishy, but also poor in meat quality.

"Uncle Minqin, your fish look good, they seem to be a little whiter. Wu Fanchao was wearing a rubber apron, obviously a man who sold fish. There is only one surname in the entire Sheephorn Village, and Wu Fan calls Wu Minqin his uncle according to the alphabetical generation. Wu Minqin is lean, in his thirties, and full of energy.

"It's Ah Fan, are you back? You know, I have raised fish for two years, and I have not been fed at all, no, I have never fed them at all, and I have been raised by eating grass in the mountain pond, do you say that my fish is beautiful?" Uncle Minqin said with a smug face.

"Wow, the fish raised like this must be sweet, how much is a pound of big-headed fish? I'll have two." "Wu Fan is getting more and more aware of eating, last time in Chaoshan Restaurant, he had a party with Mr. Wu Feng Maolin and others to drink, and the steamed manta fish was smooth and delicious, and he had an endless aftertaste.

Buy two bighead fish to make fish head soup, wonderful!

"Nine yuan a catty, some people are too expensive, you must know that I have been raising this for two years, and I have not been fed feed, those who have been fed feed for half a year are big, five yuan a catty, cheap is cheap, not delicious. Uncle Minqin said.

Wu Datong snorted coldly and said disdainfully: "Your fish is expensive, no matter how much you raise it, it's not a fish? You might as well rob it if you're so fine! Afan, don't buy it, you will suffer a big loss!"

"Datong, this fish is good, not expensive. Uncle Minqin, call me these two big ones. Wu Fan pointed to the swimming fish passage in the carriage.

"Okay, Ah Fan works in a big city, but he knows how to eat better than people who have never seen the world. Uncle Minqin praised it, and reached out to catch fish with his hands and feet.
