"Kiko!" Niu Hei grabbed this young man who was thin but always happy, and his whole body was full of energy, "Why are you here?" ”

"The devils are all over the city to arrest people again, I'll come out and take a look. As a result, I saw you from afar. Brother Black Bull, are these people from your army? Seeing Niu Hei nodding, Xizi immediately sent out an invitation like a master: "Brother Zhuzhu, friends, let's go, let's go to my house." ”

"Hehe, battalion commander, let's follow Kiko to his house. My place is too small, but Kiko's house is spacious. ”

"Okay, then go to Kiko's house." It doesn't matter where Ren Laifeng goes, anyway, whether it's Niu Hei's family or Xizi's family, he hasn't been to any of his homes, so you can say where it is.

When Kiko heard that the people in the army agreed, she was overjoyed and hurriedly led the way. Niu Hei introduced the situation of Xizi's family to Ren Laifeng in the back.

When Kiko was a child, his family was not as poor as it is now, and at that time, his family was in good condition, and he was basically able to become moderately rich. Later, because he was involved in a lawsuit, his grandfather, who had been a county official in the Qing Dynasty, didn't know why he bought a big house here before his grandfather who had been a county official in the Qing Dynasty was completely defeated. This has also become the strongest legacy that the old man left to future generations.

If such a big house were to be placed in a prosperous area, it is estimated that Xizi's father would have sold the house to pay off his gambling debts. It is because such a big house is in a slum, the poor cannot afford it, and the rich do not want to come, that it has fortunately survived to the present.

It has become two solid wood doors that have become gray and black, and there is a plaque on the lintel. Since no one has cleaned it for a long time, it is no longer clear what is written on the plaque.

Kiko's home is a large compound with three entrances, and it is estimated that there are more than thirty rooms in the entire house. Xizi has a mother, and in such a big yard, only this mother and son depend on each other, and their family doesn't even have a dog. Kiko let the guests into the hall.

Ren Laifeng looked around, heh, this hall is really clean. In the large room of more than 50 square meters, there is only the rich peony nave hanging on the front wall, which proves the identity of this big house. There were a few low benches scattered around the empty room.

Kiko hurriedly moved a few more small chairs in, and finally everyone had a place to sit. Kiko's mother also came out, a middle-aged woman who was oppressed by life and lost her feminine charm prematurely. Seeing so many strange guests, Xizi Niang hurriedly boiled water for the guests to make tea. Don't look at their family's lack of money, they even hide tea.

As soon as this tea is brewed, the room is full of fragrance, and it is the best tea. Ren Laifeng tasted a small bite, the entrance is mellow and refreshing, and the aftertaste is fragrant and long. Sure enough, it's good tea.

"Xizi, when did you get this baby, why didn't you make a move but were willing to take it out to entertain guests?" Not only Ren Laifeng, but even Niu Hei was a little curious about Xizi's tea. It's just that the words he asked made Ren Laifeng have a trace of doubt in his heart.

"This is a few days ago, forget it, I won't mention this stubble today. Battalion commanders, commanders, please drink tea. This is Ming Qian Mao Feng, and it tastes very good. ”

After a few sips of tea, Kiko was about to prepare dinner. Niu Hei was going to go home and get something. Ren Laifeng estimated that he didn't have so much food in Xizi's house, and he planned to go out to get some ingredients to help, so he didn't ask much.

"Battalion commander, Kiko, everyone, you rest here first, and I'll come when I go."

Niu Hei said goodbye and went out, turning two alleys to his own home. Niu Hei's house is not a little smaller than Xizi's house, and he opened a wooden door that couldn't even see the color, and closed the door casually after entering. Niu Hei didn't pay attention, and at the mouth of the alley less than thirty meters away from his house, a sneaky figure was poking his head out to look this way.

"Hey, where are you from? What to see? A small door next to the alley suddenly opened, and the stranger who came out of it asked casually when he saw this suspicious look. Unexpectedly, as soon as he asked, the stranger ran away without saying a word and nodding! The man came out of the door and was stunned for a moment, then raised his leg and chased after him!

"Stop! Thief, stop me! The more he shouted, the faster the man in front of him ran, and the man stooped down to pick up a stone and threw it with all his might. The voyeur in front of him was immediately smashed, staggered twice, and finally regained his balance, speeding away into the winding alley.

After more than ten minutes, Niu Hei walked out of the house, closed the door with his backhand, and rushed away without bringing the chain. As soon as he left, three more sneaky figures appeared around the corner of the wall. One of them opened the door and entered Niu Hei's house, and the other two followed silently. And all this, Niu Hei, who was walking in front, did not notice it at all.

Niu Hei went to the vegetable market, bought chicken, fish, meat and eggs, and bought a bag of rice and a few bottles of wine. The rice seller pushed the rice in a small cart to help him deliver it to his door, Niu Hei carried vegetables and wine, and the two of them happily returned to Kiko's house.

Kiko was busy in the kitchen, and Ushihei bought all the rice and vegetables, just in time to do it. The tethered pillar also went to the kitchen to help, and soon the fragrance wafted all over the yard.

The food and drinks were on the table, and there was a knock on the door outside. It was two Xizi's playmates who came, and these two were also buddies with Niu Hei and Zhu Zhu at the same time. The two of them passed by this door, and they smelled the fragrance and came in to eat. Seeing so many strangers in the courtyard, the two of them were a little embarrassed. After the enthusiasm of Kiko and Ushiguro stayed, the two later guests finally stayed.

Soon, the wine was poured into the wine glass, the chopsticks were in hand, and a rich and lively wine banquet began. There are no toasts, no rules, just as you please.

It was the first time for Ren Laifeng to attend this form of banquet. It has both the scale of the banquet and the casualness of a homely meal, regardless of the rules, and you can eat as much as you want.

Niu Hei and a friend later laughed loudly, and Kiko made a fist with the leash, and the shouts of the eight horses and the five leaders were endless, reflecting each other with the loud laughter here. Ren Laifeng observed everyone's expressions while tasting the delicious food that filled the table. He'd tasted a lot of good food, but the atmosphere at the meal was as casual or chaotic as today.

When the wine was hot, Ren Laifeng casually asked if these people were interested in joining the national army? Anyway, it's eating and chatting, if you want to, you can come, and you don't want to pull it down. Unexpectedly, as soon as he said this, the dinner table, which was still messy just now, suddenly quieted down, and then Kiko stood up in a panic.

"Sir, do you pay to be a soldier?"
