Chapter Seventy-Six: The Untold Secret
Zhao Laosi swallowed his saliva, he suddenly stopped talking, Ding Fengjun looked at him curiously, and didn't ask anything, Zhao Laosi was still hesitating, he didn't know if he wanted to say it or not, Ding Fengjun was just a milky child in his eyes, but he didn't know why he always felt that Ding Fengjun wanted people to be approached, and he had a sense of belonging when he came home to see his relatives.

In the end, Zhao Laosi still didn't speak, he only sighed and said, "Come, Xiaoding, let's drink and talk first." β
Ding Fengjun and Zhao Laosi moved from the bedside to the table, the three people sitting at the table have coveted these meat dishes for a long time, but the owner of this dish and the second brother who they have always respected in their hearts have not yet served the table, and they can only look at the dishes and sigh, but Zhang Tiedan relied on his stupid head and brains to beat his teeth with a chicken claw first.
"Why don't you three eat first?" Zhao Laosi asked as he looked at the salivating looks of the three people.
Zhang Tiedan swallowed his saliva, stared at these dishes with his eyes, and said absentmindedly: "Brother won't let me eat it." β
Zhao Laosi looked at Zhang Tiedan, who looked stupid, and said with a smile: "You are stupid, your mouth grows on your body, and he said that if you don't let you eat, you won't eat?" β
Hearing Zhao Laosi say this, Zhang Tiedan seemed to be injected with energy, picked up his favorite dishes and stuffed them into his mouth when he picked up his chopsticks, and everyone was amused by Zhang Tiedan's stupidity.
The five people at the table were drinking except for Zhang Tiedan, and after three rounds of drinking, Li Ergou curled his tongue and said: "Zhao, Zhao Laosi, why are you so willing today, you actually invited us to drink." β
Zhao Laosi's face was slightly red because of drinking, and he said with a smile: "Look at you little rabbit cubs, only care about making money, but you are not even willing to eat some good things, I am distressed when I look at the elders, I thought, the New Year is coming soon, it is rare for us to be so quiet in this kiln, it is better for us to sit together and drink a pot, which can be regarded as celebrating the Spring Festival in advance." β
Zhang Tiedan's mouth was stuffed with vegetables, he wanted to speak, but there were too many things in his mouth, and the voice could not come out of his throat, in a hurry, he picked up the wine glass in front of Ding Fengjun and drank it all, but the dish went down, but the spicy taste of the wine made him cough wildly.
Everyone was happy again, but Zhang Tiedan said disapprerovitically: "What are you laughing at, I just want to say something to Zhao Laosi." β
As he spoke, Zhang Tiedan moved his eyes to Zhao Laosi and said, "Do you know, we can't eat such delicious things during the New Year, and these things you buy can make us live for many years." β
Zhao Laosi listened to Zhang Tiedan's incoherent language, smiled from ear to ear, he stroked Zhang Tiedan's head and said, "Good boy, then you should eat more and make up for all the things you didn't eat in the previous Spring Festival." β
Zhang Tiedan nodded in agreement while eating, and Li Ergou opened his mouth again: "Zhao Laosi, in order to express your such a sumptuous hospitality, let my brother help you see what your future fortune is." β
Zhao Laosi was stunned for a moment, he pointed at Zhang Tiedan and frowned and said, "Let him see, you mean to let a fool show me my fate?"
Li Ergou nodded undoubtedly, Zhao Laosi touched his chin and laughed, and he said, "Are you stupid for me, or when I'm drunk, what can he know?"
Li Ergou said unconvinced: "Zhao Laosi, don't believe it, my younger brother has been able to see things we can't see with this eye since he was a child." β
Zhao Laosi shook his head, his face was full of disbelief, Li Ergou said anxiously: "If you don't believe it, let's let him show you the previous things first, if he is right, let's talk about it later, if he is not right, I will punish myself with three cups, what do you think?"
Zhao Laosi looked at Li Ergou with a serious look, he sighed and said with interest: "Okay, it's time for a pastime, but let's talk about it first, if what he says is wrong, you can be fined three glasses, but it can't be wine, it has to be water, this wine is expensive, it's not cheap for you to drink three glasses." β
Li Ergou slapped the table and said: "Zhao Laosi, I just praised you for your generosity, why did you pick up your kung fu again for a while, Cheng, just do as you say!"
After speaking, Li Ergou called Zhang Tiedan's name and asked him to take a good look at Zhao Laosi, Zhang Tiedan is eating hard, how can he have spare time to take care of this kind of thing, no matter what Li Ergou says, Zhang Tiedan just doesn't cooperate, but Li Ergou has to make a big move and say: "Tiedan, if you don't show Zhao Laosi, these chicken feet won't let you eat, if you show Zhao Laosi, these chicken feet are yours!" As he spoke, Li Ergou pulled the plate containing chicken feet to his side and protected it with his hands.
Zhang Tiedan's eyes lit up, he pointed to the beef on the table and said, "I want this." β
This time, without waiting for Li Ergou to answer, Zhao Laosi opened his mouth to agree, Zhang Tiedan wiped it casually and wiped the oil on his mouth with straw paper, he turned his head to look at Ding Fengjun and smirked and said, "Second brother, wait for this plate of beef, let's share it, and no one will give it." β
Ding Fengjun was stunned for a moment, and then laughed, but Zhao Laosi complained and said: "In the end, it's your relationship that is good, I wonder if you say this iron egg is really stupid or pretending to be stupid." β
After saying this, Zhao Laosi laughed to himself, and Zhang Tiedan replied unconvinced: "You are so stupid!"
was said to be stupid by a fool, Zhao Laosi was also speechless, looking at Zhang Tiedan's serious look, he had to bow his head and admit defeat and say: "Okay, good, I'm stupid, I'm stupid." β
This time Zhang Tiedan was satisfied, he looked at Zhao Laosi's face, sometimes wrinkling his eyebrows, sometimes staring, sometimes lowering his head to think, sometimes wanting to speak and stopping, Zhao Laosi was furious by Zhang Tiedan's series of expressions, he couldn't sit still and said: "In the end, it's okay, you look at me and feel cold, or I'll forget it." I've given you this plate of beef, so don't look at it. β
Zhang Tiedan didn't stop there, he said confidently: "No, the second brother once said that a gentleman doesn't eat the food that comes to me, and I am also a gentleman, so I can't just ask for your things." β
Zhang Tiedan's words are really amazing, even Ding Fengjun was about to drop his jaw in shock, when did this Tie Dan learn such a meaningful sentence, and it was just right to use it here, Zhang Tie Dan didn't give everyone time to think, so he said: "Okay, I'll talk about your past first, you listen to me and whether I'm right." You owe a person in your life, and it's a woman, but you don't feel indebted to her, but you're worried about another person, this person is a man, this man has a blood relationship with you, in other words, this is a bad fate, if you were sober enough at the time, it wouldn't be like this, and your financial luck is good, but you never planned for yourself, and all the money you earned was spent on these two people, your fate is relatively stable, there are no big ups and downs, but there will be no career, this time your decision is right, as the so-called born here will die here, die here and be buried here, withered leaves still know to return to the roots, people old also have to wait for that pure landγ Rest assured, you'll be together one day. β
Zhao Laosi was already stunned by Zhang Tiedan's words, he couldn't believe it and looked at Zhang Tiedan, what Zhang Tie Dan said was all consistent with his experience, Zhao Laosi asked incredulously: "Tiedan, you answer my last question, this beef is all for you." β
Zhang Tiedan pursed his lips and said with a look of disgust: "Okay, but I'm going to ask one last question, you can think clearly!"
Zhao Laosi nodded again and again like a chicken and said, "Just one question, one question." β
Zhang Tiedan said generously: "Okay, you ask." β
Zhao Laosi thought for a while and asked, "Can we recognize each other when we meet again?"
Zhang Tiedan nodded decently and said: "Yes, you are kind-hearted, God will not abandon you, you have survived so many years of hard life alone, God will take care of you." β
Zhao Laosi was inexplicably excited, he picked up the wine glass with tears in his eyes and drank with the other three, except for Ding Fengjun, Zhang Jilai and Li Ergou had already drunk almost, and the two of them had a feeling of drowsiness.
After Zhang Tiedan got the beef, he didn't eat it immediately, but first pushed the plate to Ding Fengjun, and muttered to himself: "Second brother, eat quickly, don't let my brother see it, he is a gluttonous cat, let him see it, but he can't keep a piece." β
Ding Fengjun was inexplicably moved in his heart, he originally thought that what Zhang Tiedan said just now was just a false concession, but he didn't expect that when he got the beef, it was really given to Ding Fengjun.
Zhang Tiedan glanced at Zhang Jilai and Li Ergou, and said to Ding Fengjun in a low voice: "Second brother, do you know why I didn't want that plate of chicken feet just now?"
Ding Fengjun shook his head suspiciously and said, "Why?"
Zhang Tiedan showed a sad expression, his eyes were staring at the plate of chicken feet, his tongue couldn't stop licking his lips, and said: "Actually, I love chicken feet the most, but I found that the second brother doesn't like to eat chicken feet, but likes to eat beef, so I asked for this beef." β
Ding Fengjun was even more moved when he heard this, he didn't expect that Zhang Tiedan, who seemed to be stupid, actually had such a delicate side, Ding Fengjun picked up a piece of beef and filled it into his mouth and said to Zhang Tiedan: "Well, the beef won by this iron egg is fragrant and delicious." β
As soon as Zhang Tiedan heard that Ding Fengjun was praising him, he immediately clapped his hands happily.
Zhao Laosi was also very happy, he touched his chin and said: "This stupid boy didn't expect to have this righteousness, he didn't think about himself, but he still thought about his second brother." β
Zhang Tiedan said confidently: "Of course, we were all brought out by the second brother, if it weren't for the second brother, my brother and I might still be secretly doing some unsightly things in our hometown." β
Zhao Laosi couldn't help but be a little surprised, and said, "You kid has such a rare ability, why don't you rely on this to eat?"
Zhang Tiedan said inexplicably: "What does it mean to eat by this?"
Zhao Laosi smiled awkwardly and said, "I mean, let you go and tell someone else's fortune." β
Zhang Tiedan waved his hand again and again and said, "No, this can't be done." β
Zhao Laosi said with a puzzled face: "Why, how can I say that this is also a skill." β
Zhang Tiedan suddenly became serious, he said seriously: "Fortune-telling is a matter of revealing the heavens, it is also a kind of superstition, there is no credibility, it is a kind of deception, although my brother and I have also done things of slander and stealing before, but we can be exposed to the sun in an upright manner, but fortune-telling is different, it is a secret thing, others can't see or touch things, it will make people miserable, and let people know the future in advance will make this person lose the belief in the future." β
Zhao Laosi and Ding Fengjun were both called fools by such a fool as Zhang Tiedan, Zhao Laosi sighed and said: "I can't believe that these words could have been said by Zhang Tiedan, it's incredible, if I hadn't heard and seen it with my own ears and eyes, I wouldn't believe that Zhang Tiedan could say such a thing if I was killed." β
Zhang Tiedan said very unconvinced: "Cut, you are looking at people in the cracks of the door, and you are looking at people flat!"
Zhao Laosi smiled again, he saw Li Ergou sleeping on the table, and said to Zhang Tiedan: "Silly boy, don't patronize and eat, quickly help your brother to sleep in the house, you will catch a cold if you lie on your stomach like this." β
Hearing this, Zhang Tiedan hurriedly put down the beef in his hand, rubbed his hand on his clothes indiscriminately, and helped Li Ergou back to his room, Zhang Jilai was also strong enough to drink, but he was still sober, and after greeting Ding Fengjun, he also staggered back to sleep, Zhao Laosi picked out a few peanuts from the leftovers in front of him and filled them into his mouth, and said: "Xiaoding, you brothers are not bad, you are quite capable." β
Ding Fengjun took a sip of boiled water, and said with a smile: "What kind of ability, don't listen to Zhang Tiedan's nonsense, he is all bluffing." β
Zhao Laosi shook his head and said, "No, no, no, I think what he said is quite right, in fact, almost all the things I want to tell you have been said by Zhang Tiedan." β
Ding Fengjun wrung his brows and said with some puzzlement: "But I only heard a little confused, what kind of men and women, messy, no logic at all." β
Zhao Laosi smiled slightly and said, "Feng Jun, let me let you guess something, see how logical you are?"
Ding Fengjun looked at Zhao Laosi suspiciously and said, "What's the matter?"
"Can you reason about the relationship between me and Li Yuequan?"
Ding Fengjun was stunned for a moment and said, "What can you two have to do with each other, didn't you tell me before that you and Li Yuequan are people with different surnames in the same village?"
Zhao Laosi smiled and said, "That's not the case, in fact, Li Yuequan is my biological son." β
"Huh?" Ding Fengjun was completely dumbfounded, he looked at Zhao Laosi in disbelief, and said, "Then why did you still help me before?"
Zhao Laosi suddenly became serious, he lowered his voice, and said: "There is no way, if he is presumptuous Liu Ming again, I am afraid that his reputation will be swept away in the kiln and at home, how can I bear to see him ruined, I am not you but him." β
Ding Fengjun was still puzzled, and he asked again: "Don't Li Yuequan know?"
Zhao Laosi sighed and said: "As Zhang Tiedan said, this is a bad fate, just because I met his mother and fell in love with each other, but it's a pity that my family is poor, not as rich as his father, of course, the old man in the family still hopes that his daughter will find a good home, so he was forced to marry the Liu family, but then because his mother couldn't stand his father's abuse and found me, as a result, there was Li Yuequan, so he left me and I had to leave, although I couldn't recognize each other, but I was satisfied to see him." β
Ding Fengjun said: "That's why you didn't marry again?"
Zhao Laosi nodded as a default.
"Okay, it's not too early, you should go back and rest early, tomorrow we will go our separate ways. β
After speaking, Zhao Laosi was happy alone, coming out of Zhao Laosi, it was almost late at night, but Ding Fengjun didn't have any sleepiness, and suddenly a feeling rose in his heart, as if he saw Ma Shiyu's smile in the night sky.
