Chapter 2 The Seventh Master
It may be that the soju is burning the passion in Wang Biao's heart, Wang Biao has been taking Li Jiatao with his bicycle for the first time, and he did not let Li Jiatao change.
As soon as he entered the village, Li Jiatao saw his two fathers squatting on the ridge of the field like two mountain eagles from a distance, smoking dry tobacco.
"Daddy!" The two young men spoke in unison, and lifted the kettle, which had turned into a flask, to their heads, and to lift it again.
The two fathers caught the message of joy, and they stood up with their arms flapped like mountain eagles flapping their wings to fly high, and a cloud of dust came from under their feet.
After a while, the news that Li Jiatao and Wang Biao won the imperial list spread throughout Li Wangzhuang and became the most discussed topic.
Big brother, second brother, big sister, second sister...... Almost all the people who were related to Li Jiatao came, and even the ninety-year-old seventh master, who was in charge of the Li family, came over trembling with a crutch.
The seventh master is a celebrity of the Li family, and he doesn't go out easily, no matter how big something happens to the Li family, he always sits on the maroon pear blossom chair at home, listens to people's long and short stories, and then makes a decision.
Father Li Dagang suddenly became twenty years younger, his back suddenly straightened, straightened, and walked around the yard with his hands high, making a sound!
"Big deal! A big event for our Li family! The father shouted, "What do you say?" β
"It's going to be bigger than smashing the pot and selling iron!" The eldest brother Li Jiaquan smiled and patted the bench with his inside.
"Play the movie!" Brother Li Jiaxi's eyes are full of longing, in this era, there have not been a few movies in the entire Hongqi Township throughout the year, but young people and children are greedy.
"My eldest sister and I will pay for the movie, one per person." Second sister Li Qiaohong answered with a smile, "I've asked, the movie costs 20 yuan a movie, and there is a free performance." β
"Forget it, what's so good?" Li Jiatao sneered, "In the past few years, the repetition has dragged down the family, and it has to be dragged across." β
"Old Five, what you said is not right." The second brother Li Jiaxi pursed his lips, "There are those who have repeated for six or seven years, isn't there a Zhu Bajie in your county No. 1 Middle School?" You've only been repeating it for a few years? It's going to be over, it's going to be big. Biaozi's family is also going to be bigger, and he is slaughtering pigs. β
Li Jiatao was speechless, in this era, the carp jumping the dragon gate is indeed only the single-plank bridge of the college entrance examination, and the second brother's surname is Zhu Bajie, because he has not been able to be admitted to the university after repeating eight sessions, he is nicknamed "Zhu Bajie".
"Biao Zi just took the secondary school exam, I heard that people say that it is not the emperor list, our little five is really on the emperor list." The second brother Li Jiaxi used to call Li Jiatao the fifth child, but the eldest brother Li Jiaquan always called Li Jiatao the fifth son.
"Let's not spend this unjust money." Li Jiatao still adheres to his opinion.
The father Tengteng Teng Teng walked up to Li Jiatao and looked at his son with forced eyes: "How can this be said to be unjust money, if this is unjust money, then what kind of money is not unjust in this world?" β
Li Jiatao sighed in his heart and stopped insisting. Li Jiatao knows very well in his heart that his father will be strong all his life, and he will walk in front of people in everything in the township, how much he hopes to cultivate a scholar to support the faΓ§ade and do something other than farming. Now that his father's dream has come true, Li Jiatao doesn't want to add any more blockage to his father's joyful mood.
At this time, the seventh master cleared his throat and began to speak in a tone of voice: "What you doll said is not right, is this your own business, your family's business?" This is a matter in our Li family, and we want to make it too big. β
When Li Jiatao heard the words of the Seventh Master, his head was big. Li Wangzhuang, as the name suggests, there are almost two surnames in the village, surnamed Li and Wang, and the seventh master has raised things to the height of the household! Isn't this going to cause a comparison between the people surnamed Li and the people surnamed Wang?
But before Li Jiatao could speak, he was glared at by his father fiercely, so he had to shut up.
"If you have trouble going to school, you will have to bear it in the family. This thing must be overcome, I would rather call it a dead cow than let the car overturn, and definitely not let the Wang family take the limelight! The Seventh Master's voice and tone were beyond question.
"We'll have a banquet tomorrow." Li Dagang smiled, "Seventh Master, you have to prepare well for this matter, it's too hasty for fear that it won't be good, what do you want at home, what can you do if you don't have a good banquet?" β
The seventh master pounded his crutches and said: "Everything pays attention to taking the lead, the most important thing is to be in front of the Wang family, it is better to prepare sooner rather than later, overnight, and now notify each family separately, let the person in charge of the family come." β
The seventh master spoke, and Li Dagang asked his sons to call separately. After a while, all the people in charge of the Li family in Li Wangzhuang came, and the seventh master arranged for each family to go down in 1510. In Li Wangzhuang surnamed Li, the words of the seventh master are the holy decree, and those who get the order will act in a hurry.
Li Jiatao felt a little helpless in his heart, and in his memory, it was because of this banquet and the gossip in the village that there was a gap between himself and Wang Biao. But Li Jiatao didn't have much to do, let alone explain to Wang Biao. The explanation of this thing is to cover it up, and the more it is described, the darker it becomes!
"My pigs are big, so I'll go back and slaughter them." The second brother, Li Jiaxi, stood up and wiped his palms.
"Hmm." Father nodded, "The meat used up in the whole banquet, your brother, you and I will share it equally, and if your family wants to use the money, you will give the money according to the price of meat in the market, and the meat will be returned next year." β
"Forget it, there is still a piglet at home, and it can be slaughtered during the New Year, what can I do if I eat more meat and less meat?" Li Jiaxi said with a big grin.
"Happy events are everyone's happy events, brothers settle accounts, don't say such bad things, I don't like to hear it." The eldest brother Li Jiaquan had an opinion and spoke.
At this time, the eldest sister and the second sister also shouted to share it equally, and the scene was lively.
But his father's face sank: "What are you fighting for?" The water spilled by the married daughter, when Jiatao went to school, you have the heart to make up a few dollars, so that he can go to school and be more lenient. β
After a pause, my father then said, "You two go back and invite your father-in-law and mother-in-law to the house, if they don't do anything else, they have to come here, and I have an opinion if you don't come." β
Mother Sun Xiuying didn't speak, sat quietly, watched, and didn't know what was going on in her heart.
Knowing her son Mo Ruo's mother, Sun Xiuying always feels that her fifth child is a little different from before, but what has changed, Sun Xiuying can't say, this feeling can only mean something indescribable.
The yard was too crowded and stuffy, so Li Jiatao quietly slipped out of the gate to breathe.
"Little Wuzi, you are fighting for our family." When no one was around, the eldest brother Li Jiaquan called Li Jiatao "Little Five Sons" again, which made Li Jiatao laugh.
Li Jiaquan said, took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and Li Jiatao's eyes lit up, it was actually Changsha cigarettes.
"Brother, it's up the grade." Li Jiatao joked with a smile, you must know that Changsha cigarettes cost three yuan a pack, and only cadres can afford to smoke them.
"Such a big event, smoke a pack of cigarettes." Li Jiaquan smiled and handed one to Li Jiatao, "Happy event, smoke one." β
Li Jiatao took it easily, lit it with the eldest brother's match, and smoked two mouthfuls beautifully. You must know that after being reborn, Li Jiatao has not been touched with cigarettes. There is no way, there is only three yuan in his pocket that his mother quietly gave him, and Li Jiatao is still useful in keeping it, and he is reluctant to buy cigarettes.
"Ah, the movements are more proficient than me, when did you learn it?" Li Jiaquan's eyes were a little weird, as if he had discovered a new continent.
"It's the first time I smoked, I haven't eaten pork and I haven't seen a pig run." Li Jiatao naturally wouldn't admit it, and replied with a smile.
At this time, his father also came out, and Li Jiatao hurriedly hid the cigarette behind him.
"Smoke, smoke, smoke." The father smiled and looked in the direction of Wang Biao's house, which was also crowded with people, and the laughter was endless, "You have to work hard and do things beautifully, and you can't lose to Biaozi's family." β
