Chapter 17: A Chance Encounter

The twenty or thirty miles were completed in less than half an hour.

Brother Jiang's three people rushed to a big car shop at the west end of Hailin Street.

"It's still a private room, but today we're four of us." Brother Jiang said to the owner of the big car shop who came up.

"White peony, they're still here?" Brother Jiang asked the boss again.

"Yes, sing in the main room at night!" Said the owner of the big car shop.

The three people who drove the car were all in high spirits when they heard this, unloading the horses, feeding them, and drinking water in one go.

The shopkeeper led four more people into the house, and there was nothing left on the ondol.

"Heat the kang hot," Brother Jiang put down this sentence and took Xiaobao and the other two people to eat.

Xiaobao saw that the three of them were a little faintly excited, and they didn't know what to do.

"Brother Jiang, do you have anything good?" Xiaobao asked.

"Brother, you don't even know about the white peony? Tonight, the two of them changed teams and sang in the big car shop. The white peony should be more watery and more watery. "The saliva that Brother Jiang said came out.

Listening to the two of them is fake, and being addicted to it is true. Xiaobao laughed in his heart.

Xiaobao pulled the three of them into a restaurant and asked for a large plate of pig's head meat and three bowls of sorghum rice. Xiaobao asked the guy to pour three bowls of small roast for three people, and the guy gave four people four butterflies and small pickles for nothing.

When the food and drinks were placed on the table, the mouths of the three people could not be closed. even praised Xiaobao for his sincerity, but secretly laughed in his heart that Xiaobao was a deflated. Eat him all the way!

In the Northeast, a salted cucumber that can drink wine can also drink a catty, not to mention pig's head meat!

The three of them squeaked with wine bowls, squeaked and bragged. If you don't brag when you drink, then why do you drink!

Xiaobao's ability to live well in Toad Mountain is not because of the kindness of the big cabinet and Liu Dascar, but because he was forced out since he was a child. Xiaobao only used three words to make the three people clear.

The three families all live in the whetstone east of the Mudanjiang River, and they make a career out of catching big cars. Brother Jiang has already started a family, and in two years, he should tell his son that he is a daughter-in-law. The other two are brothers, surnamed Li, both of whom are over 30 years old and have not yet started a family. One word is poverty!

In a word, all three of them are having a hard time. But there was no sadness on the faces of the three people. In the words of Brother Jiang, if you don't laugh, do you still cry!

A few people talked about the white peony as they spoke. The Li brothers' eyes were shining, and they looked hungry and thirsty.

Brother Jiang smacked his wine, "Alas, that big-faced plate, that big-ass ball." It's itchy to think about it. ”

Xiaobao asked curiously: "According to what Brother Jiang said, isn't it fat?" What's so good about being fat? ”

Brother Jiang sneered, "I don't understand with you little bean sprouts." It's so good to be fat, it's full of meat. That, how comfortable it is! He laughed.

"Just that big ass, if you marry and go home, then you won't have to crackle and give birth to a lot of children." Brother Jiang continued.

"Fat is good, fat is good" The old Li brothers were about to salivate. Looking at their clumsy appearance, it is clear that they are two old bean sprouts who have not been in their thirties.

Thousands of Shandong, Shanxi, Henan, and Hebei people salivated when they heard that the Northeast was a big land and a vast wilderness. After burning paper in front of the grave of their ancestors, they kowtowed, and embarked on the road to Kanto without hesitation. They want to trade hard work for abundance. Many people have not heard from them as soon as they leave. Many became beggars and beards. There is only one in a hundred who can truly realize their dreams.

After eating, when Xiaobao took out the money to settle the accounts, the three of them were a little embarrassed. It turned out that they had the intention of eating turtles, but after all, they were honest and honest people, and they had some regrets in their hearts.

The four of them returned to the cart shop, and as soon as they entered the gate, they saw the man swinging his wheel to fetch water from the well.

"Hurry up, the four old guests, the main house is about to start singing!" The guy greeted.

The three of them asked Xiaobao to wait in the courtyard for a while, then went to the stables to look at the horses, turned around and joined Xiaobao and walked briskly towards the main house.

When Xiaobao walked into the main house, he almost let the smell of sweat inside push out. Thirty coolies who may not take a bath once in two or three months are crammed into a room, and the smell is not good.

A circle of benches had already been crowded with people, and the elder brother Jiang and the brother surnamed Li could only stand in the back.

In the corner of the wall, there are five or six people tuning the strings and making up the makeup.

"Look there, White Peony," one of the brothers surnamed Li said to Xiaobao.

Xiaobao looked into the corner of the wall, and a girl of eighteen or nineteen years old was sitting on a small bench. Moon-white wide-legged pants, a flaming red slanted chest jacket, a hairpin pinned with black and dense hair, and a pair of flowerpot shoes with hydrangeas on both feet. Flower pot bottom shoes are worn by Manchu women, and it is difficult to bend over when wearing such shoes.

Maybe she also heard the brother surnamed Li speak, and a pair of autumn waves of bright eyes turned around the house, and the room was instantly silent. Everyone felt like she was looking at herself.

The girl lowered her round face again, holding a mirror in one hand and a pencil in the other. At her feet sat a tree-like pewter candlestick, with an inch-tall candle head on each branch.

A middle-aged woman with a sallow face crossed Erlang's legs, spit out a puff of cigarette in her mouth, and looked down to Bai Peony and said, "Girl, it's almost time to start." Sing a mat scene first, and then let these poor ghosts pay for it. The woman's mouth showed a mouth full of yellow teeth.

White Peony agreed, took out a match, and lit the candle heads on the candlestick one by one. Then he turned to a middle-aged man and said, "Dad, let's get started." ”

White Peony and the middle-aged man walked to the center of the room. Even though the middle-aged man's face is white, he still can't hide the wrinkles on his face. White Peony slowly put the candlestick on his head and stopped.

"Old and young masters, our father and daughter will sing a little mat first. The New Year's celebration is a festive picture. The two of us sang a little New Year's greetings. The middle-aged man said.

"It's a New Year in spring."

"The gongs and drums in the village are noisy outside the village."

"Dressed up in the little beauty's house"

…………

The father and daughter sang one by one.

The white peony straightened her upper body, and walked in circles in the house with small steps from slow to fast. I saw that her feet were like the wind, and she couldn't see the number of steps at all, and the candlestick was as stable as a mountain on her head. The flickering candle flame reflected on her pink face, which was charming and moving. There is a little candlelight on the autumn eyes like water, and the color is smart.

Xiaobao is stupid, and the whole room is stupid.

The door opened, and two people squeezed in.

One of the two was an old man in his fifties and the other was a young man in his twenties. The young man was still holding a three- or four-year-old crying child in his arms.

The old man walked up to the middle-aged woman with a sallow face, "You are Aunt Chang?" I heard that you can invite the fox fairy, can you help me see, is my grandson in trouble? Is there any salvation wow? ”
