Wang Jicai's wife had just sent off the matchmaker and was about to cook lunch for Wang Jicai, when she saw his two sons riding back. As soon as the two of them entered the yard and lifted their bicycles, they shouted, "Mom, I'm hungry!"

Wang Jicai's wife asked, "What's the matter? You didn't eat in the morning?"

Brother Wang Hongbing replied at the same time: "Yes, I didn't eat. ”

"Why can you skip eating? Sleep lazily again?" said Wang Jicai's wife.

Wang Hongbing said: "We ate too much last night!"

Wang Hongyu said: "We had a good meal last night. ”

"What kind of good food have you eaten?" asked Wang Jicai's wife curiously.

Wang Hongbing said: "You definitely can't guess. There is Moutai wine drunk at the state banquet, roast chicken, roast duck, sizzling beef tenderloin, suckling pigeon, braised osmanthus fish, ......"

Wang Hongyu said: "There are soft Chinese cigarettes!"

Wang Jicai's wife was suddenly so angry that her face turned blue, her lips trembled, and she scolded: "You two losers, you have just earned three or two stinky money, and you can't go to such a big meal! It won't take a few days for you to be defeated! You are all too old, don't marry a daughter-in-law, and don't have a family?

Wang Hongbing and Wang Hongyu laughed "hahahaha"!

Wang Jicai's wife became more and more angry, so she turned around and grabbed a broom on the kang and caught up with the two brothers, and scolded as they beat them: "I will kill you two debt collectors!"

The two brothers hurriedly ran around the yard, and Wang Hongyu said, "Mom, what are you beating us for?

Wang Jicai's wife suddenly stood up and asked, "What? It's not you who pay for it? Who pays for it?"

"Mom, someone invited us to dinner!" Wang Hongbing said.

"Ahh

Wang Hongyu said: "Mom, someone really invited us to dinner, it's a big treasure." ”

"Ah?...... Dabao invited your two uncles to dinner?" Wang Jicai's wife asked for a while, and then said to herself: "Has Dabao recognized this family? Don't you have any trouble with our family?" and then asked, "Did Dabao call you two 'uncles'?"

Wang Hongbing said: "Isn't it better to eat such a big table of good food for us than to call an uncle? Besides, don't you call it 'uncle'?"

"Silly son, that's different! If you want to call it, it means that people recognize our family, and our family's life will be much better in the future, because this child has no other relatives, and this is his mother's home after all!" Wang Jicai's wife said.

Wang Jicai's wife went to cook happily while savoring this matter.

After a while, Wang Jicai returned, with gray hair, hunched waist, skinny, green tendons exposed, two hollow trouser legs, light and fluttering, and torn behind him by the wind, revealing two legs like dry dead branches. On his feet, he wore two black striped linen-soled cloth shoes made by his wife.

He had a hoe on his shoulders and a white towel around his neck, but this white towel was almost the same as a black towel, and it had changed color from sweat.

As usual, after entering the yard, he took the hoe off his shoulders, leaned against the wall of the fence, and then pulled off the white towel around his neck and patted the dirt on his chest and back for a long time, and then slapped the dust on his legs.

The cat walked to the side of the steps step by step, ready to sit on the steps, first bent his legs, then leaned forward, and hung his buttocks in the air for a long time, and then slowly sat on the stone steps, and then fell on the stone steps with a "bang", and a circle of dust shook around his buttocks, and then sighed: "Hey!

Then he slowly swallowed the ground, took off the two black-striped linen shoes that his wife had made for him, put the soles up, took one shoe in each hand and bumped each other, knocked off the soil in the crop field that the shoe boy brought back, put the shoes down, and then wiped the dirt sticking to the feet that were dry like chicken paws, and patted both hands again, and then took out a crumpled half-pack of cigarettes in his jacket pocket, and pulled out a cigarette with his rough calloused fingers, lit a fire, and smoked it with taste。

After smoking this cigarette, his wife brought out her lunch in a big bowl! Wang Jicai's procedure is rather complicated, but it is very regular, and it cannot be reversed in a disordered manner, and this is a rule formed over the past 60 years, which is like iron beating copper, and once this rule is disordered, it is not a matter of doing more or less actions, but causing him to disorder his autonomic nerves or endocrine disorders, and he will be very uncomfortable. They will even get angry and curse!

So everyone in the family knows this habit of his, and no one can disturb him at this time, waiting for him to finish this set of actions before talking to him.

Wang Jicai's wife was in the cooking house, rolling noodles, while squinting at Wang Jicai, to see if he had finished this set of actions, she looked at it a few times, and saw that the old man had finished smoking, and was using the tips of the cloth shoes she made to twist the cigarette butts thrown in the yard!

Because Wang Jicai's wife wanted to whisper to the old man of her family, she had to go into the cooking stove house, because his two sons were sitting in the hall.

At this time, Wang Jicai stood up with difficulty on the stone steps with both hands. He bent his waist and staggered into the stove room.

Wang Jicai's wife then said mysteriously: "Dabao has invited his two uncles to dinner!"

"Yes?" asked Wang Jicai's eyes lit up.

The old woman happily replied, "Yes." ”

"When?" asked Wang Jicai, still with bright eyes.

"Yesterday night. Wang Jicai's wife replied happily.

Wang Jicai immediately trembled with excitement, and he shook his hands and picked up his cigarette in his pocket. He took out his cigarette, turned around and lit it, took a puff, then turned around again and asked, "Where are you inviting them to dinner, at his house?"

"No, he's the director of the factory, it's in the factory restaurant! I heard that the food they have never seen before, there are Moutai wine, soft China, and braised osmanthus fish......

"Ahh

After a while, the meal was ready, Wang Jicai's wife watched the two children come back, fried two dishes, scalded a pot of wine, and the family ate around the table.

Wang Hongbing poured the wine for his father first, and then the father and son drank it. Wang Jicai couldn't help but be happy because he heard that Dabao was going to recognize his relatives and accept him as a family, and he and his two sons frequently raised their glasses and drank cup after cup.

After drinking wine for a while, the brothers felt that the atmosphere was almost the same, so Wang Hongyu gave his brother a look. Wang Hongbing said: "Dad, Mom! Last night, Dabao invited us to dinner and chatted with us all night. ”

Wang Jicai said happily: "Okay, it seems that this child has benevolence and righteousness, and he wants to restore relations with his uncle and grandfather's family." This child has been smart and clever since he was a child, and he is different from ordinary children, and I have seen since I was a child that this child will definitely have a future in the future, and I often tell your mother that in the future, Dabao will become a big man and do a big career. ”

Wang Hongbing hurriedly praised: "Dad, you are really like a god!"

Wang Jicai used the strength of the wine to brag loudly! "I think that back then, your father and I were the leading figures in this Huangling Village, leading one or two thousand people in the whole village! Who would dare to say 'no' in front of me." Let whoever goes east, he will not dare to go west!"

Wang Hongyu asked, "Dad, you were the accountant of the brigade at that time, right?"

"Yes, there are one or two thousand people in Huangling Village, and everyone has nine points on their heads. I alone have the final say on the distribution of grain from spring planting to autumn after autumn, including everyone's labor rations, and as soon as the beads of my abacus ring, everyone in this Huangling Village will be cold! If anyone can't get along with me, I will let him die in the first day, and he will definitely not survive the fifteenth year!"

Wang Hongyu said: "Dad, you are so amazing, now you are still that big pot of rice, how good it is for you to be the leader!"

Wang Hongbing said: "If that's the case, we don't have to worry about marrying our two daughters-in-law, we would have already married the two daughters-in-law back to the kang for you!"

Wang Jicai's wife laughed on the side, and said: "Look at you father and son, you will talk nonsense after drinking a little wine! Drink less, let's eat!"

Wang Hongbing said: "Mom, we and Dad are drinking happily! Let's drink for a while and eat." ”

At this time, Wang Hongbing asked again: "Dad, we heard that you were very powerful for a while, and you led the whole village to attack Snake King Mountain?"

Wang Jicai's face was flushed with alcohol, and the dense green tendons on his neck that were originally like reed roots on the hillside turned into crooked earthworms after drinking, and he climbed a full neck.

He was still unsatisfied, and then said: "No, it's not it! It was to go into the mountains to rescue the old man with two lumps in the west, and the whole village formed a team of more than 1,000 men, women, and children, all of whom were armed with all kinds of weapons, and fought the snake demon on the mountain, and fought in the dark on the mountain, and finally rescued the old man with two lumps, but the old man with two lumps had been swallowed by the big snake and suffocated to death, and then the snake couldn't digest it and spit out the old man with two lumps! How united were the people at that time!"
