"Hahaha......" Guan Erlin said with a smile, "You can rest assured, if he eats all twenty sticks, I will never charge you a penny; ”

"Hehe!" someone chimed in, "Let's open our eyes today!"

Guan Erlin hurriedly gathered twenty oilfruits, carried the basket of oilfruits to Li Dejin and said, "Eat!"

"Hehe, then I'm welcome!" Li Dejin stared at the avocale in the basket with his eyes shining, smiled and stretched out three fingers to pinch a avocale and said, "Don't regret it, boss!" Then he opened his mouth wide and devoured it, without even raising his head.

Li Dejin ate twelve oil fruits in a row. Suddenly, with an "oops", he bent down to cover his lower abdomen, and his face was flushed.

"What's wrong?" When Guan Erlin heard this, he hurriedly walked over, and when he saw Li Dejin's uncomfortable look, he thought that he had broken his stomach, and hurriedly asked, "Does it matter?"

"It's not. Li Dejin slowly straightened up, and said with a sad face, "I, I have an urgent need to urinate, and I have to...... Can you pull it on the side of the road?"

"That's not good! People are still eating here!" Guan Erlin raised his hand and pointed diagonally across the street and said, "That's a latrine." You're still waiting for you!"

"Okay, don't worry, I'll be right back. Li Dejin promised in his mouth, and ran in the direction of the latrine.

"Hehe!" Guan Erlin turned his head and said to Li Dalong with a smile, "Mr. Li, it seems that you are going to break the bill today!"

"This ......," Li Dalong wanted to say and stopped.

After a while, Li Dexi, who had changed into Li Dejin's clothes, ran over from the latrine diagonally opposite the fritter stall and devoured all the remaining eight oilfruits.

"My mother, there are twenty oilfruits!" said an old man with a goatee, "why is this little mustache so big to eat? ”

"That's right," a woman with a mustache on her head responded, "It's the first time we've seen him, if it's in our house, I'm afraid we won't be able to raise him!"

"Alas......" Guan Erlin said with a wry smile, "I really didn't expect this kid to eat so much, so I had to give him twenty avocals for nothing!"

Seeing that Guan Erlin, who used to be able to pinch and calculate, couldn't even see through this little trick, Li Dalong couldn't believe that everything in front of him was true.

But after thinking about it, Li Dalong suspected that Guan Erlin might be pretending to be confused in order to maintain the dignity of the Li family's scholarly family.

So, Li Dalong took out a few banknotes and stuffed them into Guan Erlin's hand.

Guan Erlin pushed Li Dalong's hand away and said with a smile: "If I accept the money, won't I just be untrustworthy? Where do you let me put this face? How will I do business here in the future?"

Seeing that Guan Erlin refused to accept the money, Li Dalong secretly thought: "If I insist on letting Guan Erlin collect the money, others will suspect that I know the truth, isn't this self-inflicted humiliation? I offered to pay anyway, and there is really no way for him to accept it." ”

"Second master," Li Dexi suddenly shouted, "I still want to eat! Xiao Degang, why does he eat more than me?"

"What?" Li Dalong was taken aback, and quickly covered Li Dexi's mouth with his hand, "Who let you ...... Why don't you get home!"

......

The backyard of the Li house is solemn and solemn, and the portrait of the ancestor of the Li family is hung on the front wall. On the left wall is a Chinese painting "Owl Catching Mice" painted by Li Dalong himself, replacing the traditional painting "Eagle Spreading Its Wings".

On the screen, dark clouds cover the moon, and an owl with a mouse in its mouth is about to fly, its sharp yellow eyes shining fiercely in the darkness. This gloomy picture is intimidating.

There is also a poem inscribed by Li Dalong in the painting: "The golden eyes and iron wings are hidden in the forest, and it is difficult to be a sword beak at night." Xiao Xiao Gou can't do anything, and the blue sky sends peace. ”

This is naturally Li Dalong's hope that his ancestors can bless Li Dejin and Li Dexi.

According to custom, on the right wall should be the "Tiger Galloping" corresponding to "The Eagle Spreads Its Wings", but Li Dalong painted a "Swift Dog and Tiger" out of jealousy of Li Feihu and his expectation of Li Dejin.

He deliberately painted the black dog with great violence: the front paws were pressed on the head of a colorful tiger prostrate on the ground, and the head was raised to the sky and barked angrily, and the meaning of the painting was also revealed by his inscription:

"Yesterday swallowed the sun and now the tiger is ambushed, and the stone breaks the sky and frightens the calf. The same is Erlang Tianguan, surnamed Yang, surnamed Li Jieshenzhu. ”

At this time, Li Dalong was forcing Li Dejin to bow his head and kneel in front of the ancestral tablet, and instructed Zhong Zhaogui to close the middle door, take off the ring ruler hanging on the wall, and beat it down according to the palm of Li Dejin's hand.

"Second master, the second young master is still young, and he has already admitted his mistake. Just spare him this time!" Zhong Zhaogui pleaded.

"What do you know, how can you speak!" Li Dalong said angrily.

Li Dalong's speed and intensity in beating Li Dejin have decreased a lot, but his reprimand is ruthless: "You are the bane, you have simply become the demon king of the mixed world! Where have you forgotten those words?"

"Master," Zhong Zhaogui said, "how can Xiao Hu understand these words?"

"He either doesn't understand it, or he can't remember it?" Mr. Li said.

"Big, don't fight, I was wrong, I don't dare to lie to other people's things anymore. I have memorized that quietness is self-cultivation and thrift is the cultivation of virtue. ”

Li Dejin secretly turned his head as he spoke, looking at Li Liu with pleading eyes.
