Chapter 8: Turning the Bottom of the Bowl
"Get out! Don't give Lao Tzu your bullshit here! Kong Mingzhong bounced up from the stool again, holding Mu Hongbing in one hand, and pointing at Mu Zhengfang with the other hand trembling.
"You. This is what you told Lao Tzu to take the right path and do great things? Lao Tzu, I see that you haven't woken up today and are dreaming of yellow sorghum, right? Going to the city to do a vegetable business? Even you, a person who is drunk and dreaming all day long, lazy to eat, and don't sleep until the sun every day, dare to learn from people who get up early and be greedy to make money in the vegetable business? You"
Mu Zhengfang is not only a master who will do anything to achieve his goals, but he is also a bad person.
He had asked Kong Mingzhong before, so he desperately pretended to be good and sold well, and he took everything Kong Mingzhong said.
But when he heard Kong Mingzhong scolding more and more, he stopped doing it, and Mu Zhengfang, who was originally squatting in front of Kong Mingzhong's stool, bounced up from the ground with an angry face at this time.
"The surname is Kong!" After Mu Zhengfang yelled, he took Kong Mingzhong's stunned time to wave away the hand that was pointing at his nose, and then crackled at Kong Mingzhong.
"How can I say that my father and you have been friends for decades? Hmph~ I think back then, when your family was criticized for not having good composition, my father didn't even want the opportunity to go to the city to be a cadre, and he worked hard to save your family.
What's going on? My father has only been dead for a few years, do you think this favor is over? Don't have to pay it back?
Besides, if my father wasn't for your family back then, he went directly into the city, with his merits back then, how could he be a big official, I, his own son, even if I can't be a cadre, at least I have to be a worker, can face the loess all day long and dig in the soil with his back to the sky, and eat the last meal without the next meal?
Hmph~ If you don't give Lao Tzu a touch of conscience and think about it, forget it, are you stepping on people like this?
How come there is such an ungrateful old thing in this world!
If you don't care about this bit of affection and don't want to help, just say it, can you use me so coldly? I have a lot of arms and legs, people can do business, why can't I do it? ”
"You. You turtle son, Lao Tzu. Lao Tzu "Kong Mingzhong has never been scolded like this in his life except for that special era, he is so dizzy at this time, a square old face is flushed red, and he can't say anything if he wants to scold, and he feels that his whole body, including a mouth and the tongue inside, are a little disobedient to his own call.
Mu Hongmei was shocked back to her senses before, and she didn't understand what the situation was after listening to these words, but at this time, seeing Kong Mingzhong like this, with her decades of life experience in her previous life, she was really afraid that this old man would be angry with her father, so she was busy supporting Kong Mingzhong.
"Grandpa Kong, you quickly dissipate your anger, don't listen to my father's nonsense, you sit down first, and I'll bring you a bowl of water."
"Dead girl! Isn't it owed? Mu Zhengfang was in a rage, how could he hear his daughter's number, and when he yelled, the big slap also slapped Mu Hongmei's head, but in the middle of the road, he was grabbed by Kong Mingzhong, who was about to sit down halfway down.
If Kong Mingzhong could only be regarded as angry just now, then at this time, he was really angry and his whole body was burning.
Kong Mingzhong squeezed Mu Zhengfang's hand tightly, stood up straight again, and stared at Mu Zhengfang, who was about the same height as him.
"Mu Zhengfang! Lao Tzu warns you again, dare to touch Hongmei and Xiaobing again in the future, as long as Lao Tzu finds it once, he will immediately send you to the police station. After speaking, he shook off Mu Zhengfang's hand.
He gasped for two breaths in his nose, and then continued: "Also, even if Lao Tzu owes you a father's favor in this life, it is also a matter between Lao Tzu and your father."
If you want to use this sentiment to ask Lao Tzu to beg Yu Zhiqing's family to take you into the city to sell vegetables, you don't have to think about it for Lao Tzu.
That's a way for a family to find a way to live, Lao Tzu himself doesn't have the face to beg others to take my son to make that fortune together, why should I plant mud for you and can't support the lazy man who can't support the wall to beg someone?"
Mu Zhengfang was born to be cheap, he has always eaten hard and not soft, seeing Kong Mingzhong get up, he wanted to hang his head on the ground and make a mistake, how can there be a strong number of people who were straight and bold before stalking their necks.
Even if the evil fire in his heart burned more and more with Kong Mingzhong's words, he didn't dare to fight against Kong Mingzhong like before, just lowered his head silently.
The face and ears, which were much whiter than the average farmer, seemed to be too ashamed and became redder.
At least, that's what Kong Mingzhong thinks.
At this time, the old man, who was still angry, didn't continue to scold when he saw Mu Zhengfang's appearance, and began to secretly review what he had just said, whether he had said it too much.
Kong Mingzhong opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but in the end, he couldn't swallow the breath in his heart, and after saying "hum~~" without saying anything, he sat back on the small stool with Mu Hongbing in his arms.
As everyone knows, his humming voice that expressed his unhappiness in his heart was heard in Mu Zhengfang's ears at this time, but it became a mockery and contempt for his own nakedness.
Immediately, the red on Mu Zhengfang's face became a little heavier, a pair of ears were about to spill blood, and even the blood vessels and green energy on the neck were bulging one by one, and a pair of eyeballs in a pair of small hanging horns were also red and bloodshot at this time, staring at Kong Mingzhong obliquely.
And Kong Mingzhong, who was stared at like a prey, was sitting on a small stool at this time and stepped to the side, not seeing this scene at all, and regretting that he had said something heavy in anger just now.
But Mu Hongmei, who was standing on the side, was still a child and small, so she saw the change in Mu Zhengfang's expression from beginning to end.
When the two quarreled before, she couldn't interject at all, and in her heart, she also felt that her father, who was not in tune with the extreme, should be taught a hard lesson by the old captain.
But at this time, she regretted it and was afraid. Because she knew better than anyone else in her heart that this was a clear sign that her father Mu Zhengfang was going to beat people when he was angry!
And the person her father is going to beat at this time is obviously the respected Captain Kong.
These are long words, but in fact, they are all moments of regret when Mu Hongmei saw Mu Zhengfang's angry expression.
Seeing Mu Zhengfang, who was staring at Kong Mingzhong, suddenly looked hideous, and the moment she clenched her fists, Mu Hongmei's first reaction was to rush between Mu Zhengfang and Kong Mingzhong in two steps.
"Daddy!" When she shouted this sentence hoarsely, her back straightened, and she gritted her teeth and stared at Mu Zhengfang with her head up.
At this moment, Mu Hongmei's idea was very simple, that is, she couldn't let Mu Zheng do anything to the old man. Even if this generation is sitting with his own body, blocking the fist that Mu Zhengfang is about to swing.
In fact, if Mu Hongmei turned around and took a look at the current situation, she would definitely find that her small body was really too short and too short, even if she was standing next to the old man sitting on a small stool, it was like a little chick helping the old hen to stop the eagle, and it would not play any protective role at all.
Not to mention, Kong Mingzhong had already stood up from the small stool again because of her sudden rush and subsequent roar.
Although this series of changes happened in an instant, Mu Zhengfang could swing his fist at Kong Mingzhong's body without any resistance, but he didn't swing it down.
And the reason for this is best known only to Mu Zhengfang himself.
Because even Mu Hongmei herself didn't know that when she stood in front of the two of them just now, staring at Mu Zhengfang and shouting "Dad", the expression on her little face that seemed to be desperate with others was so hideous and terrifying in Mu Zhengfang's eyes.
was so frightened that Mu Zhengfang's heart trembled, and at the same time, the fist that was about to be raised didn't even have the courage to raise it.
He was completely shocked by Mu Hongmei, a child who was less than six years old and would only cry no matter how he beat or scolded him on weekdays, but now he was so abnormally frightening.
And Kong Mingzhong, who was already standing up from the stool in fright, because Mu Hongmei had her back to him, Kong Mingzhong couldn't see Mu Hongmei's expression at all.
At this time, the old man looked down at Mu Hongmei, and then looked at Mu Zhengfang, who was stunned by Mu Hongmei's "call", and then lowered his head again, and looked at the little girl who was standing beside him and looked up at Mu Zhengfang with wonder and worry.
"Hongmei, you. What's wrong with you guys? Kong Mingzhong didn't expect that if it weren't for Mu Hongmei's previous series of reactions, he would have been beaten to the ground by Mu Zhengfang with a sandbag punch at this time.
But maybe it's even worse.
Faced with the question of this old man who had been most beloved and attached in her two lives, Mu Meihong's small mouth opened, but she only felt that her throat was astringent and bitter, and she couldn't pronounce a single tone.
But he felt that he should say something, at least let the old man leave her home that could only be described as a dangerous place at this time.
However, at this moment, Mu Zhengfang, who was stunned by Mu Hongmei's behavior just now, moved at this time.
And his movement was not to raise his hand, nor to kick his legs, let alone to swing a fist as big as a sandbag, but with a "poof", he fell to the ground on both knees and fell to the yellow mud ground only three steps away from Kong Mingzhong.
Immediately afterwards, he straightened his waist, snorted a few times, knelt down and came to Kong Mingzhong's side, and after squeezing Mu Hongmei directly with his tall figure, he hugged Kong Mingzhong's legs.
"Big Daddy! My dear father, nephew, I'm sorry for you! Yes! Ahh
Mu Zhengfang hugged the stunned Kong Mingzhong like this, and cried.
At this time, Mu Hongmei was also directly stunned by her father's 180-degree reversal change.
It wasn't until Mu Zhengfang, who was so hoarse that he was "crying", glared viciously at her side while crying, obviously warning her not to talk much, that Mu Hongmei woke up.
It turned out that after her father failed to succeed, he began to act in bitter love dramas to soften.
After all, she has been a father and daughter for more than 20 years in her previous life, and Mu Hongmei has already memorized her father's tricks to achieve various purposes.
Because Mu Hongmei really didn't make a mistake, Mu Zhengfang was "acting" at this time. When he hugged Kong Mingzhong's legs and cried loudly, the two small triangular eyes were spinning rapidly.
Just now, Mu Zhengfang was ruthless, he wanted to say nothing, trampled on his dignity, and made his plan fall through, and Kong Mingzhong, who was still very aggrieved, beat up the old headache to relieve his cruelty.
But Mu Zhengfang, who was overwhelmed by anger by Mu Hongmei's interruption, suddenly became clear in his mind.
also suddenly figured it out, if he and Kong Mingzhong are tough today, then he will have to mess up all his long-planned plans to make a fortune, not to mention, if he beats this old thing and tears his face today, when the family is short of firewood, rice, oil and salt in the future, he wants Kong Mingzhong to help him make up for it, I'm afraid it will be impossible.
After Mu Zhengfang quickly understood this, he happened to hear Kong Mingzhong ask Mu Hongmei what to say, and he was half scared to death, for fear that Mu Hongmei would open her mouth and talk nonsense, so she was in a hurry and immediately knelt down in front of Kong Mingzhong.
Then, when he crawled in front of Kong Mingzhong and hugged Kong Mingzhong and cried repeatedly, the small mouse-like eyeballs in his hanging triangular eyes quickly transferred.
Within two clicks, he made countermeasures based on his understanding of Kong Mingzhong, knowing that this was an old guy who was soft-hearted and soft-hearted.
But thinking of Mu Hongmei's reaction when he rushed out to block Kong Mingzhong's body before, he must have seen that he was going to beat Kong Mingzhong, so he took advantage of the cry and warned Mu Hongmei sideways.
Where did Kong Mingzhong know this, he was hugged by Mu Zhengfang's legs, crying and crying one by one, and the old man also woke up.
The anger in my heart just now has disappeared at this time, but I am a little more relieved, but then when I think of Mu Zhengfang's previous words and what I wanted, my heart is again
Alas~ At least at this time, this eldest nephew, who has always been unruly, should know that something is wrong.
"Don't do this, get up. It's such a big man, what are you doing, and you're not afraid of people watching jokes. Kong Mingzhong said, holding Mu Hongbing, who was watching this scene in confusion with one hand, and went to help Mu Zhengfang with one hand.
"Woo. Big Daddy ...... Whining. My dear father, you should let my unfilial nephew kneel for you. Woo woo......" Mu Zhengfang said this, but after being persuaded by Kong Mingzhong a few more words, he took advantage of Kong Mingzhong's inattention, reached out and grabbed a little ash on the ground, and then raised his hand to wipe his eyes twice, and then his eyes were red and teary eyes.
To say that Mu Zhengfang, a lazy man recognized by the whole village, in addition to the shortcomings of being thick-skinned, taking advantage of others, not being honest, being lazy and lazy, etc., there is also a only advantage, that is, he has made up his mind about what he wants to do, even if he uses up all the eighteen kinds of martial arts that are dead and faceless, he will never give up easily.
There are also a lot of ghost eyes. In order not to be noticed by Kong Mingzhong, he was crying dryly, and he did not hesitate to grab the mud from the ground and rub it into his eyes to force tears.
Although Kong Mingzhong didn't notice Mu Zhengfang's small movements, Mu Hongmei, who was standing short on the side, saw all this really well.
This is her father.
In addition to shame, Mu Hongmei's heart was more bitter.
Even in her previous life, she had been a father and daughter for more than 20 years, but she never found out that her father still had such a means.
But this reminded her of the "old past" when this father cried bitterly and forced her money with both soft and hard methods.
When Mu Hongmei fell into memory, Mu Zhengfang had already gotten off the donkey, sobbing and sitting on the small stool that Kong Mingzhong brought him.
As everyone knows, in the process of raising his sleeves to wipe the yellow plaster in his eyes, he had already scolded Kong Mingzhong's eight-generation ancestors countless times, and at the same time, he also thought about how to "deal with" Kong Mingzhong for a while.
It wasn't until his eyes were much better that Mu Zhengfang stopped wiping his 'tears' and made a strict fatherly face, but he looked at Mu Hongmei who was standing on the side staring at him in a daze.
"Hongmei, didn't you say to pour water for your grandfather, why are you still staring at me here? It's really not polite at all, go quickly!. ”
Seeing his daughter staring at him with her head up, but her expression kept changing and looking very weird, Mu Zhengfang's heart was weak at the same time, and there was an indescribable taste in his heart, and Mu Zhengfang couldn't say what it was, but the situation was urgent at this time, and he directly summarized that he had seen this dead girl who looked too much like Li Guozhen since he was a child.
After Mu Zhengfang waved his hand and sent Mu Hongmei to serve water, he didn't have time to think about Mu Hongmei before leaving, which made him feel even more unhappy in his heart, and immediately changed his face, and he was weak and embarrassed to submit to Kong Mingzhong.
"Big Daddy...... I. Oh, Daddy Kong, you know me, I'm an anxious person, although I know that you treat me like a son, so you say those things for my good.
Can...... But I'm a person, I can't get rid of this who says I'm not good or bad, so I love to be anxious with each other.
I...... I'll add again, today I didn't finally come up with an idea to live a good life, and I was in a hurry when I saw that you didn't agree. ”
Speaking of this, seeing that Kong Mingzhong didn't answer his words, but just stared at himself with a pair of old eyes as if he could see through people's hearts, and there was a faint expression of disappointment on his face, Mu Zhengfang was anxious, and then his heart was horizontal, and he raised his hand and slapped his mouth twice as if he were decent.
"Look at my stinky mouth, it's just underpumping.
Daddy, look, I've slapped myself twice, if you still feel angry, as long as you keep saying, I'll keep pumping myself to death today. ”
Originally, seeing Mu Zhengfang kneeling in front of him just now, looking like he knew his mistake, Kong Mingzhong really wanted to believe that this lone seedling of his old friend's family really knew that he was wrong.
But at this time, after hearing Mu Zhengfang say this, he woke up to the biggest mistake at all, and he still opened his mouth to make money and buy and sell, Kong Mingzhong, who was never a stupid person in the eyes of others, began to feel cold at this time.
I can't help but think of Mu Zhengfang's words when I turn over the bottom of the bowl (turn over old accounts), and my heart is even more complicated.
If those words made him angry and angry, more was the indelible guilt of his old friend aroused by Mu Zhengfang's words just now, and the disappointment of Mu Zhengfang, a junior who was treated as a nephew by himself.
Compared with Kong Mingzhong, Mu Hongmei has long been accustomed to this kind of Mu Zhengfang, but even if she has no expectations for such a father, in addition to still not being able to help but feel a little disappointed, more is because Mu Zhengfang feels deep shame and blush.
In the process of serving water, Mu Hongmei secretly made up her mind that no matter what kind of mind her father had just given birth to to calculate the old captain, she would also try to stop it, and she must not let the old captain be embarrassed.
