52. One is joyful, the other is sad.
"Little San, which one is your daughter-in-law?"
"Just the one next to my sister-in-law, chubby!"
"Hey, people are chubby, and dumplings are also chubby!"
In the courtyard with white walls and red tiles, flowers are in full bloom, grass and trees are vigorous, and stone tables and stone benches are available.
A group of people gathered around the kitchen, laughing and pointing. Inside, she helped Xie Lian'er make dumplings and order a fat girl, and she was already so ashamed that her face was flushed.
"All back!"
Zhu Wu sat under the tree in the courtyard and said with a smile, "Xiao San will be in a hurry for a while, I will beat you!" ”
Guo Xing had already lowered his head, sat on the side with low eyebrows, and smiled awkwardly when he heard this.
However, his eyes are always involuntarily looking at the kitchen.
The aesthetics of men in these years are not like those of later generations, and they all like young ladies. In this world, taking a wife and taking a virtuous person, looks and figure are secondary.
Besides, if you look closely, the fat girl is fat, and the eyebrows and eyes are good-looking.
"Fifth brother, you are eccentric!"
Erhu said with a smile, "You find that daughter-in-law for me, like bean sprouts, and find land for the third child to be so rich!" ”
"Get out of the way!" Zhu Wu scolded with a smile, "Bean sprouts? Do you say that about your daughter-in-law? ”
"Third child, has the date been set?" Erhu asked again.
"Come to the old man in a moment, give!" Guo Xing smiled embarrassedly, "What does the fifth brother mean, just find a good day in the past two days!" ”
"Just these days!" Zhu Wu smiled and said to the brothers, "It's over early, it's in the cave room early, it's a father early, and it's a mother early!" ”
There was laughter all around, and Guo Xiaosan's face turned red.
"Fifth brother!" Lan Yu trotted in, "Old man Xi is here!" ”
"Hurry up!" Zhu Wu said to Guo Xing, "Your happy event, do you have to be the old man Zhang Luo?" ”
Xi Yingzhen came in with a smile on his face, holding a large wooden board.
The brothers don't know anything, but Zhu Wu knows that it is used for painting.
During the Chinese New Year last year, Old Man Xi drew a sketch for everyone, which was lifelike. This is also evidence of Old Man Xi's exposure of his origins.
Sometimes, Zhu Wu was thinking, this old thing has revealed so many flaws, is it waiting for himself to demolish him?
"Old man, what is this?" Guo Xiaosi looked at the drawing board and asked.
"Draw, just like last year, draw a picture for everyone!" Xi Yingzhen smiled.
Erhu slapped his thigh, "Oh, that painter looks like a real person!" Saying, look at Xi Yingzhen, "Old man, draw a separate picture for me another day, I will have a child in the future, and I will leave it to him." If one day he dies and begs, future generations will also have a thought. ”
"Fuck off!" Xi Yingzhen scolded with a smile, looked at everyone, and said mysteriously, "Master Dao, this is not a blind painting, do you know why the painting is so similar?" ”
The crowd shook their heads.
Xi Ying said in a fake manner, "Dao Ye has drawn your face on this piece of paper, and your appearance will remain in the world forever, no matter how sinister the sword soldiers are, the king of Hades will not accept it!" ”
"Hurry up, draw one for me!"
"Old man, give me one!"
"Old man, old man!"
The brothers shouted nonsense, Xi Yingzhen was in their hearts, in fact, he was almost like a fairy.
Especially Guo Xiaosi, who was the old man Xi at the beginning, pulled him back from the palace of Hades.
"Pull it down!" Zhu Wu smiled, and suddenly remembered something, "Old man, how many years can you keep this painting!" ”
Xi Yingzhen said with a smile, "Now there is no oil paint, otherwise there will be nothing to save for hundreds of years!" ”
"You can also paint?" Zhu Wu asked.
"How fresh, old man, I originally studied in Polar Bear Moss City, the capital of oil painting!"
Everyone looked at each other, what did these two people say?
"Come over and help with dumplings!"
At the door of the kitchen, the fat girl was exposed and shouted timidly.
"Third child, go!"
In the midst of everyone's laughter, Guo Xing smiled embarrassedly, and then walked away.
"I'll serve dumplings!" Guo Xing stood at the door of the kitchen and was stupid.
The fat girl's face was buried in her chest, and she knew where to put her hands.
The hot dumplings came out of the pot, round and plump, like the face of a fat girl, and served on a plate.
"I'll hand it to you!" The fat girl's voice was mosquito-like.
Guo Xing looked at it stupidly, and subconsciously went to pick up the plate, but what he started was not warm porcelain, but fleshy hands.
"Oops!" The fat girl's face was as red as blood.
"Hey, hey!" Guo Xing silly music.
There were no maids, and no servants.
Today is Zhu Wu's family banquet, and the old brothers who came followed him in Haozhou.
I don't pay attention to any pomp, just in the garden, divided into two tables. There are no good dishes, dumplings with pork and celery, stewed meat.
It's not like a monarch and a minister, but like a brother. Or rather, they were brothers in the first place.
"Sister-in-law, it's almost!" Guo Xiaosi shouted, "You can also come out to eat!" ”
The food was set on the table, and everything that should be done sat down.
"There's also a soup, you eat it first!" Xie Lian'er was a little embarrassed and was in a hurry in the kitchen.
At this time, Xiu'er's homophony sounded at the gate of the courtyard.
"Don't eat it yet, wait for me, I'm going to be next to Wuguo!"
Under the sun, Lan Yu was laughing, "Xiu'er, run!" ”
~~~~
Same sunshine, different scenes.
It is not sunlight at sea, but poisonous light.
The sun was poisonous, the sun was scorching, and the lips of the people on the boat were chapped and listless.
"Brother, drink saliva!"
Xu Da took the kettle and came to Zhu Chongba's side.
Zhu Chongba did not stay in the cabin, but sat in the bow of the boat. Let every soldier in this fleet of fishing boats be able to see him.
"There's not much water!" Zhu Chongba's face was already sunburned.
These Huaixi men did not go abroad to the sea, and underestimated the difficulty of the sea route.
Xu Da smiled bitterly, "Save some drink, it's done!" ”
Zhu Chongba didn't drink it, but just poured a little out of the pot and put it in his palm and wiped his lips.
"Here, brother!" As he spoke, he threw the kettle to a soldier.
The soldier smiled innocently, wiped his lips as he did, and then handed them one by one, one after the other.
"How far can we get to Shandong?" Zhu Chongba asked.
"The helmsman said it would be another day. In the morning, we hit the waves, and we were delayed. ”
Zhu Chongba nodded, looking at the sea in the sparkling scales.
"In the past, we nested in Huaixi, and the Huai River was amazing, and then we saw the Yangtze River, thinking that the water in the whole world was in the river. Now, we see the sea. ”
As he spoke, his chapped lips smiled as he spoke, "When we get to the sea, we know how small people are." We only know that our eyelids are shallow, the world is so big, we can't go anywhere, we have to get together in Huaixi, damn it! ”
Then, standing up, shouting at the endless sea, at the clear blue sky, at the undulating waves.
"The sea is wide and the fish are also, and the sky is high for the birds to fly. Good men have ambitions in all directions. Shandong, grandpa is here! ”
Xu Da followed and stood up, "Grandpa is here!" ”
On the sea, the sound of tens of thousands of people shouting in unison was like a tsunami.
In the roar, Zhu Chongba stood at the bow of the boat and laughed.
In the cabin, Ma Xiuying looked at her man.
The resentment on his brow that he brought out in Nanjing disappeared. Now on his face, he is the same kind of pride that he is not afraid of.
~~~~~
"I want to sit in Wuguo's arms!"
"I'm next to my third brother!"
"Lan Yu, you are the youngest, go aside!"
"Erhu, you stand behind Xiao Wu!"
In the garden, Xi Yingzhen commanded the people and made them in order.
Zhu Wu was in the first row, holding Xiu'er in his arms. His brothers, either to his right or behind him, stood behind him.
Xi Laodao set up a drawing board and laid out paper. I kept having a charcoal pen in my hand, and I was comparing and measuring.
"Wait!" Zhu Wu shouted, rushed to the distance and the fat girl, and shouted to Xie Lian'er, who was watching the excitement, "You guys!" ”
"yes, look at my brain!" Xi Yingzhen also smiled, "You two are also our family, come here, Dao Ye will draw them for you too!" ”
Xie Lian'er and the fat girl didn't dare, so they smiled and dodged.
"Block here!" Zhu Wu smiled, "This is a good thing. Zhu Yu, give your mother and third aunt, get two stools! ”
The order that was just lined up is messed up again, and a group of people are rearranging in a mess, you squeeze me, and I'll push you.
After half a day, I sat down and stood up again.
This time, among the group of men, there were two more restrained women.
"That's right, old man!" Zhu Wu thought about something, sat there and said with a smile, "Draw a wedding photo for me and Lian'er another day!" ”
"Okay, no problem!"
The old man smiled, "Don't move, Dao Ye has started drawing!" ”
With that, the charcoal pen sketches the lines on the paper.
"Maybe a few hundred years later, the graves of our brothers will be dug up, and this painting is a national treasure!" Zhu Wu thought to himself.
Still, thinking about it, he couldn't laugh.
Looking at the old man's thin figure in the sun.
The person who paints has never painted himself.
"Lord!"
Outside the hospital, Li Shanchang's voice suddenly came.
"The Yuan Court has sent an envoy here, Shangshu Zhang Chang!"

The plot is not so exciting, it's all foreplay
Midnight.
