At dusk, Zhang Rui slowly got up from his broken bed. The twilight sun always makes Zhang Rui feel uncomfortable, if it was before, he would have turned on the LED lights early. However, it is estimated that it will never be seen again in this life, and you can only learn to get used to it.

Zhang Rui was just about to go out when he ran into Li Si and others who were about to come to him. Li Si saw him get up, said a few words to him, and then prepared to leave again. Seeing this, Zhang Rui asked him what was going on, and Li Si told him that the previous Zhou family had not gone to the banquet, and he was going to ask the old man what was going on.

It turned out that the old man who was beaten by Lei Leopard, the grandfather of the Zhou family, went back with the family after Zhang Rui solved Lei Leopard. When Zhang Rui announced that he would invite the whole village to dinner, his family didn't know, and later someone went to tell them that the old man drove the people out.

The person who told him thought that Mr. Zhou thought he was lying to him, and he found two more people who knew about it, and the result was still the same.

Not only that, but even the two sons who said that they didn't let the two sons get the rice, you must know that according to what Zhang Rui said later, each family is counted as one family after getting married, and his family, including him, is counted as three households, so that his family has fifteen catties of rice alone.

He had five children, the eldest of whom had two sons and a daughter, and the younger of whom was two of them, except for the eldest son, who was seventeen years old, and the younger son, who was sixteen years old. There are also three children who can receive six catties of rice.

This is a good deal, and you can get twenty-one catties of rice. If you want to exchange it for copper money at the current price of rice, this is a lot of copper plates, and you may not be able to see it in a lifetime? How stupid it is to not let my sons get it!

After Li Si heard about it, he was also ready to ask, what was going on! After all, it is relatively rare for poor families in this era to have a sumptuous dinner with wine and meat. The rich generally do not invite the poor to make a banquet, and it is only a matter of some relationship to be able to share some leftovers after cooking. The poor family makes a banquet with a little meat, which is very good. Therefore, many poor families may not be able to eat such a good meal for most of their lives, and they don't eat it for free, how stupid they must be.

Zhang Rui had a rough idea of what the villagers were talking about, and decided to follow along.

The village is not very big, and it is not yet dark. A group of people arrived at the door of the Zhou family's house after a while.

The Zhou family's house is somewhat similar to a courtyard house. Sitting on the north and facing south, the south side is the gate. The roof is made of wood, which is better than straw. The southeast side of the house lives the eldest family, and the southwest side of the house lives the second family. Mr. Zhou lives in a house in the northeast, and the kitchen in the northwest is a big firewood house next to the kitchen.

There will be a rainy season in Guangxi, sometimes it will rain for more than a month, so most of the houses must prepare firewood houses to prevent there is no firewood for cooking and eating during the rainy season.

The eldest Zhou Tong and the second Zhou Tiezheng, who were sitting outside the door, looked worried. A few children also ran back and forth with the family at the banquet venue, talking about the meat they had barely seen before, and the smell of saliva had to be saved. The daughters-in-law of both of them were wiping their tears, complaining to each other about the old man and complaining about their own lives.

Since they married into the Zhou family, they have had a good meal there. Or usually eat a little better than some people. But listening to the whole pot of meat that the children say, they may not have the opportunity to eat it in this life, thinking that both of them have not eaten meat for a long time.

Even if they don't eat it, they should let the children eat it! When the child is growing up, there is nothing good to eat when he wants to. This time, it's rare that the sixth brother has the ability, so please have a good meal together. The whole village went to eat, is there still a family left for us? I don't know what the old man is thinking.

Listening to the daughter-in-law's complaints, the eldest and second of the Zhou family had no choice. They all tried to persuade the old man several times, but each time the old man drove them out without saying anything. Even if the daughter-in-law talks to the child, it is useless. In the end, he threatened that they would dare to eat it, so he hanged himself and let them eat their own flesh. Such cruel words were said, and the two sons and daughter-in-law could only be at a loss.

At this time, Zhou Tie, who was sitting facing the door, saw a large group of people following Zhang Rui and Li Sizheng towards their house, and hurriedly called the eldest brother next to him, and the two daughters-in-law also followed out of the door.

"Uncle Zhou Tong, Uncle Zhou Tie, Aunt Tong, Aunt Tie." Zhang Rui greeted them as soon as they met from afar

"Sixth brother, let the sixth brother smile with the villagers." Zhou Tong saw that Zhang Rui was so capable and greeted himself and others so politely, and said helplessly.

"Yes! It's rare that the sixth brother invites everyone to have a good meal together. My old man also made such a play, and he bothered everyone to come over, and he really didn't want to go. Zhou Tie also said helplessly.

"It's okay, the old man may have some ideas! Why don't I go in and see the old man? Zhang Rui said calmly. Then he saluted the people around him and said, "Then bother the villagers to wait for my dog here." ”

Everyone felt that there was light on their faces, and they still respected themselves and others so much for someone as capable as Zhang Rui, who was worthy of being an apprentice taught by the immortals, and they all spoke like Wenqu Xing. So everyone agreed to Zhang Rui.

Zhou Tong kept Zhou Tie and the two daughters-in-law to receive everyone, and led Zhang Rui to the door of the room where the old man lived.

"Dad, the sixth brother came to see you. Dad, open the door! ”

The "babbling" door opened. Old Man Zhou saw Zhang Rui and his eldest son at the door of the room. hurriedly invited Zhang Rui in and asked his son to go to the gate.

After Zhang Rui entered Old Man Zhou's room. Old Man Zhou closed the door. The room is a little dim, although there is a window at the door, and the sunlight can shine in a little bit, but the lighting is still insufficient.

Looking at Old Man Zhou in the dim light, he could vaguely see that his cheeks were red and swollen after being beaten by Lei Leopard. Before Zhang Rui could come to his senses, Old Man Zhou knelt down directly for Zhang Rui.

"Sixth brother, I know you are capable, not an ordinary person, please let our family go!"

"Old man, what are you doing! Isn't this asking me to lose my life? Besides, I didn't do anything to your family! Zhang Rui looked at the old man Zhou who was kneeling on the ground, and was shocked and hurriedly helped him up and said.

Old Man Zhou didn't think much of it, but he had Zhang Rui's strength. I can only stand up, after all, it is a little ashamed to kneel in front of a child I know for such a big person.

"It's true that you haven't done anything to my family right now, but who knows what's going on. Why would you invite the villagers to such a good meal for no reason? Especially at this time of scarcity. ”

"Then I killed the bandits and saved their lives and made some money, shouldn't I invite the villagers to a good meal? As the saying goes, if you don't return to your hometown, you are no different from a night walk in brocade clothes.! Zhang Rui argued

"The problem is here, you only make money by killing bandits, you must know that there are dozens of bandits on the mountain, they want to know that the people you killed them are still celebrating in the whole village, do you think they will let the people of our village go?"

"It seems that Old Man Zhou is a person who can see through. But do you think that if you don't eat at home, they think you didn't eat? Zhang Rui looked at Old Man Zhou and said with some embarrassment, but he was also very grateful that he didn't go out to talk nonsense.

"That's why I'm waiting for you here, where do you want to take the people in the village? Can't you give them a way to live? Old Man Zhou asked a little angrily

"It's not that I don't give them a way to live, it's that they don't give the people in the village a way to live, and this world doesn't give us a way to live." Zhang Rui replied a little excitedly

"Yes! The way of the world! Hearing Zhang Rui's words, Old Man Zhou was in a trance.

"Then how are you going to deal with those dozens of bandits on the mountain? You know, they're not something we villagers who don't have enough to eat all year round can treat. Master Zhou looked directly into Zhang Rui's eyes and asked.
