Pei County, more than 500 miles northwest of Xiapi, outside the Surabaya Pavilion, the sun is setting, and the sound of frogs is heard.

The thief Li Chang threw the bow and crossbow on the ground, and shouted in his mouth: "It's not good, it has to be scrapped!" A lot of them have to be scrapped! ”

Pavilion Chief Liu Bang glanced at him and said, "The bowstring is not good, or the crossbow arm is not good, this score is clear, how can it be scrapped?" Just reported the numbers to the county government in such a hurry, and the chief official Peng was not easy to pass that level.

Li Chang pouted and said lazily: "Isn't the chief official Peng Xiao your friend Brother Liu?" What is there not to obscure the past? ”

Liu Bang snorted disdainfully and said, "Listen to what you mean, my friend is here to help you wipe your messy accounts and wipe your buttocks?" ”

Li Chang raised his chin and said, "Although you can't say that, it's pretty much the same, otherwise, why do you want a friend?" ”

Liu Bang shook his head, pointed at him with his fingers, and didn't say any more. His parents didn't teach him well, and he didn't teach him this education as a small pavilion chief. The relationship between him and Xiao He is to appreciate and support each other. Of course, it was Xiao He who paid attention to him at the beginning, and Xiao He has always appreciated and supported him more than he did to Xiao He, but now it is different, he feels that Xiao He is very important and important.

Although the result of Xiao He's support is still a Surabaya pavilion chief who has not changed for several years, he has taken this good intention to heart.

"Brother Liu, tomorrow I want to go home and wash my hair, and take a look at my mother by the way." As he spoke, Li Chang scratched his hair.

Liu Bang lifted his eyelids and looked at him, I wanted to say, you spoke in the wrong order, you should want to go home to see my mother. By the way, I wash my hair and think again. I'm not your father, so I can't educate you. Let's not talk about it.

"Brother Liu, I really want to go back and wash my hair and see my mother!" Li Chang begged again, a little laid-back.

Liu Bang said dryly: "No, this time it's my turn to go back and see my father, and wash my hair by the way!" ”

Li Chang twisted his eyebrows and said, "Brother Liu, didn't you go back last time?" Just five days ago. ”

Liu Bang stood up and said resolutely: "Go back is going back, but." Last time, I went back to see my daughter-in-law and washed my hair by the way! ”

Li Chang was anxious and shouted: "Brother Liu, you can't be like this, you have a daughter-in-law to see your daughter-in-law, I don't have a daughter-in-law, you can go back to see the girl, if I don't go back, the girls in the neighborhood will be married!" ”

Liu Bang glared and said, "What." In a hurry? That's still if you're not good enough, you have to be good enough, the girls in the neighborhood don't get married, they are all waiting for you! ”

Li Chang was speechless for a while. In the end, I had to shake my head and say, "Okay, Brother Liu." If you want to go back, go back, let's not say anything. Next time it's my turn, one way or another. Don't even rob me. Just remember to come back and bring a pound of dog meat, in other words, your brother-in-law's cooked dog meat is fragrant! After saying that, he smacked his lips retrospectively.

Liu Bang sneered disdainfully and said, "If you are interested, you will also have a pound of dog meat!" ”

……

The next day, early in the morning, Liu Bang went on the road early and ran to Fan Xu's dog meat shop.

He went in such a hurry, not to repay the money, nor to bring dog meat to Li Chang, but to pay the credit again. People say that after eating the dog meat cooked by Fan Xu, other people's dogs can no longer eat it.

Fan Hao had just killed the dog and was about to change out of the blood-spattered clothes when he saw Liu Bang coming in a hurry.

He twisted his eyebrows in dissatisfaction and said, "Brother-in-law, what's the matter, you're here to pay back the money?" ”

Liu Bang shook his head and said with a grin: "Why do you withdraw money as soon as you meet?" Anyway, it's also your brother-in-law! Relatives, how ugly! ”

Fan Xu "poofed", threw the blood-spattered shirt on the board, and said: "Our two relatives are honest, you still come to credit all the time, and you can't make your relatives too embarrassed as a relative, right?" I also need capital for this transaction. ”

Liu Bang waved and said, "Look at you, you're still in a hurry!" A few pounds of dog meat, do you think my brother can treat you badly? On the day my brother was developed, I must have been the first to think of you, I don't look at the face of their sisters, I have to look at the face of dog meat, right? ”

Fan Xu turned his head angrily, ignored him, and turned back to look at the pot. It's really unlucky to recruit such a brother-in-law. I don't know which tendon of the old man is twitching, and he married a sister to such an old and poor person, except for looking better, having a better mouth, and making friends, he really can't find anything special. And he, although he is also poor, is a professional and technical talent, and he is from a family of dog killers.

Liu Bang saw that Fan Xu ignored him, and he was not in a hurry or annoyed, he walked straight to the stove and squatted down to help light the fire.

"Okay, okay, no need for a big fire, just simmer on a small fire!" Fan Xue irritably picked up the meat cutting knife and thrust it into the board.

Liu Bang stood up, looked at the shiny knife handle, patted Fan Xu's shoulder, and said earnestly: "Brother, don't bother my brother, my brother told you, your ability is not used to kill dogs, killing dogs and killing dogs for a lifetime, and in Xiaodong's generation, you are still born to kill dogs." It's not the same if you use this ability to kill people, if you are lucky and don't die, you can earn a mountain, and if it's good, you can earn a good land and a beautiful house, maybe you even have a title! ”

"Brother-in-law, this can't be nonsense!" Fan was so anxious that he threw him off.

Liu Bang smiled and said disapprerovingly: "How is it nonsense, the reason is such a reason!" You don't go out and talk nonsense! Brother is optimistic about you, and he doesn't treat you as an outsider, so he will dig out his heart with you. ”

Fan Hao really made him a little moved by what he said. Although it's a brother-in-law, but my brother didn't let go of what he said?

"That ——, brother-in-law, you better live the life in front of you, think about the situation of those people in the family, don't just try to be comfortable with your mouth, eat and drink all day long!"

Liu Bang still smiled disapprovingly, and said: "Brother, you still see shallowly, you see that I eat and drink all day long, and think that I don't care about my family, but in fact, I am for them to live a good life in the future." What can I do with Liu San alone? People are thin! So, I had to make friends. You see, I don't make friends casually, if they are worse than me, then I will never sit with him and call him a brother, at most, let him help lead the horse and run errands when needed. ”

"Are you saying that Xiao He and Cao Shen are amazing people? And what's that chariot and horse? ”

Liu Bang thought for a while and said: "At present, it seems to be useful, their vision and ability are still stronger than ordinary people, and with my current ability, I can only get them, if I get out of this Pei County in the future, then maybe I will meet more powerful characters, hehe, then take a step and see a step, it's not good to say now!" ”

Fan Xu looked up and down at this hesitant brother-in-law, a little headache, but also a little admired, he really didn't understand, how much confidence does this man in his forties still have dog meat on credit, and how much future does he have?

"Okay, don't bother, cut a piece of good dog meat, I'm going to get them to drink, you can come too!"

Fan Hao stopped squeaking, and unwrapped the clasped clay basin sullenly, compared it, and cut a large piece down.

"Give! Don't weigh it! And with that, he handed it to him.

"Good brother, brother remembers your friendship. Remember to come here! Go to Xiao He's house at noon! ”

Fan Xu waved his hand, but did not make a sound, signaling him to leave quickly. He still has to do business at noon, how can he leave the stall and drink and brag with them?

Liu Bang didn't mind his brother-in-law's attitude, and left while holding the dog meat and singing.

In the eyes of others, he may be a bragging and big talker. But he knew he wasn't. He's just looking for better opportunities, and opportunities are always looking for him, and he may be staggered with opportunities, but if he doesn't look for them, he won't even have the opportunity to watch from the sidelines.

Xiao He is a person he attaches great importance to. He felt that Xiao He was not simple, and he could only look at him in so many tolerances. He went to Xianyang to serve in conscription, and it was great for others to send 300 yuan, Xiao He sent 500, why, just drinking and bragging with him? Aren't people looking at his future yet?

He has to live up to his friends' expectations and run out for a future for everyone to see?

In this life, it's a pity that you don't try it!

……

"Brother Liu, I'm back!" The judge who lived on the street greeted him.

"Well, I'm back."

"Brother Liu, you won't come back, sister-in-law is lonely!"

"Go, what's your business if she's lonely!"

"Look at what my brother said, my brother saw that it was not easy for my sister-in-law to take care of the family alone, so I told my brother to say this!"

"Go, go, go! I see you're idle! ”

"You're going to go, brother, you're sending the dog! Hee-hee...... "I didn't care about it, and walked away jokingly."

It's almost at the door of the house, look at the dog meat in his hand, Liu Bang hesitated, these people are all here, so let them see this little thing, can they still carry it?

"Dad, you're back!" It's a big child, and Liu Fei somehow turned around from behind him.

"Ah, it's back!" Liu Bang had no choice but to respond.

"I went to see my grandfather, he wasn't very good, he said he wanted to eat meat!" As he spoke, he glanced at the lotus leaf bag that his father was carrying.

Liu Bang glared at him, who doesn't want to eat meat, and still use the name of grandpa!

"Really, you don't take a look when you come back, grandpa misses you, grandpa said, you have to go to someone else's door to block you."

Liu Bang was impatient and said, "Isn't this coming back, what is the block?" It seemed that he had not run away at this time, so he had to walk towards his yard.

As soon as he opened the door, a big-bellied woman came out, who was the woman he married later, Lu Shi.

"Auntie, I'm back!" He greeted him eagerly.

The little daughter-in-law has to be coaxed, she is more than 20 years younger than him.

Lu Shi rolled his eyelids, looked at the lotus leaf bag in his hand dissatisfied, and shouted behind him: "Girl, son, your father bought meat for you!" (To be continued.) )
