At the beginning of August, the sun in eastern Sichuan was already as hot as fire, but the old house of the Li family under the scorching sun was even hotter than the scorching sun.

On the roof, the tarpaulin used to shade the sun has been scorched hot.

Under the canopy, the banquet pushes the glass and changes the lamp, and the laughter is endless.

The four arch pigs, the largest of which weighed about 300 catties, and the smallest of which weighed 1670 catties, were all wholeed out, steamed, stewed, fried, and roasted...... More than a dozen large bowls are placed on the table, full of portions and mellow aroma.

The meat is mellow, the vegetables are sufficient, and the wine is more energetic to drink.

Uncle Mi swallowed three cups and two lamps, an old face of vicissitudes of life glowed red, and a pair of old eyes that were originally cloudy also shone with a terrifying look.

"Yuan Qin," Uncle Yu suddenly put the wine glass in his hand on the table, staring at the old man sitting on his right hand with a blazing gaze, slightly displeased, "Your four boys are angry when they see me?" ”

"Uncle," the old man hurriedly smiled, "what do you keep talking about?" Your old words are reasonable, if the fourth child dares to see your anger, see that I don't discount his legs! ”

As he spoke, the old man turned his head and shouted at Li Siwei, who was waiting for the two babies to eat at a table in the corner, "Fourth, come here!" ”

"Okay," Li Siwei agreed, and hurriedly got up.

"Dad," the two babies who were holding the crispy meat on the outside and tender on the inside hurriedly put down the crispy meat in their hands, grabbed Li Siwei's shirt from left to right, raised their heads, and their little faces were full of nervousness.

Seeing their appearance, Li Siwei was both distressed and guilty, the scene just now really scared the two babies.

"Good," Li Siwei raised his sleeves, gently wiped the oil stains on the corners of his mouths for the two babies, and smiled dotingly, "Dad won't go far......"

"Daddy......"

The two babies were still clutching Li Siwei's clothes, and their eyes were misty again.

"Okay, good," Li Siwei was immediately defeated, and gently hugged them into his arms, "Dad will take you with ......"

As he spoke, Li Siwei raised his head and smiled apologetically at everyone, "You eat first, and I'll go toast to my uncle." ”

"Okay," everyone nodded repeatedly, "it should be, it should be ......"

Liu Tianfu hurriedly got up and helped Li Siwei, but his expression was a little uneasy, "That ......"

"Tianfu," Li Siwei hurriedly glared at Liu Tianfu, a wry smile appeared on the corner of his mouth, "The old man has learned the right lesson!" You can help me get a wine glass and find another bottle of wine! ”

"Okay," Liu Tianfu replied sullenly, picked up Li Siwei's wine glass, grabbed a bottle of wine and followed.

Li Siwei walked to his uncle's seat first, put the two babies down gently, and hugged Li Siwei's legs tightly as soon as the two babies landed.

Seeing this, everyone at the banquet couldn't help laughing, and the uncle leaned over to look at the two nervous babies, with a kind smile on his face, "Qiansheng, An'an, don't worry, your father can't run away......"

An An Che gave way to the back of Li Siwei's left leg, and Qiansheng also hurriedly took half a step back, looking at his uncle's little face flushed, "You...... You...... Fierce ......"

"Uh......"

Uncle Yu was stunned, and he could only look at Qiansheng and smile bitterly.

"Qiansheng," Li Siwei was also stunned, and hurriedly leaned over and touched Qiansheng's little head, smiling gently, "It's my father who was disobedient just now!" You and your sister will be obedient in the future! ”

Qiansheng looked at Li Siwei as if he didn't understand, and nodded hesitantly, "Hmm." ”

"That's good," Li Siwei smiled encouragingly, stood up straight, looked at his uncle, and smiled with a smile on his face, "Uncle, the little doll is not sensible......"

"No," Uncle Mi shook his head gently, his face full of embarrassment, "what obedient two dolls...... It's us adults who don't obey! ”

"Uh......" Li Siwei's face turned red, and he hurriedly smiled, "Uncle Mi's admonition, Siwei keeps it in mind." ”

Saying that, Li Siwei took the wine bottle from Liu Tianfu's hand, opened the seal, and looked at his uncle again with a solemn face, "Uncle Mi, the ancients said that 'there is an old man in the family, if there is a treasure', until today I heard your old words, Siwei understood what the ancients meant!" We're still too young, and we still have to rely on you elders to do a lot of things......"

"Don't say it, don't say it," Uncle Mi took the initiative to hand the wine glass to Li Siwei, "You are a sensible child, otherwise, Uncle Mi wouldn't have said those words today." ”

As he spoke, his uncle laughed self-deprecatingly, "If it were someone else, I'm afraid I would have to say that I, an old immortal, was relying on the old and selling the old......"

"Don't dare, don't dare ......"

Everyone hurriedly laughed, "Everyone still points to your old man's teachings!" ”

"yes!" Li Siwei also nodded hurriedly, filled his uncle with wine, poured himself another glass, and then raised his chest with a solemn face, "Your words today made Siwei suddenly open...... A toast to you! ”

After that, Li Siwei raised his glass, raised his head and drank the wine in his glass.

"Okay," Uncle Mi smiled and nodded, raised his glass as well, and drank it all.

"Uncle ......"

Li Siwei hurriedly poured wine again.

"Siwei," Uncle Yi covered the mouth of the cup with his hand, staring at Li Siwei with blazing eyes, "Uncle knows the bitterness in your heart, but now you are the head of the regiment and the person who leads the troops...... The ancients also said, 'Ci is not in charge of the army', you...... You have to have so many things in your heart, I'm afraid you won't be able to go far! ”

"Hmm," Li Siwei nodded hurriedly, but felt his nose sour.

"Siwei," Uncle Mi sighed softly when he saw Li Siwei's eyes turn red, "If you really can't let them go, just remember Uncle's words - don't smear them!" ”

"Yes!" Li Siwei hurriedly straightened his chest and looked solemn, "Please rest assured!" ”

"Good!" Uncle Mi glanced at Li Siwei deeply, and then turned around and swept everyone at the table, "Come on, come on...... Keep eating, keep drinking, and can't live up to the heart of the four dimensions......"

"Yes, yes, yes......"

Everyone hurriedly echoed and grabbed their chopsticks, "Gong Pig has not harmed the crops in our field, and this is revenge......"

The banquet continued, still warm.

If the wine banquet in the Li family's old mansion is full of local flavor, then the tea placed by Liao Heiniu in Qingyun Building is much more exquisite.

Of course, Brother Pao's people have always been very particular about setting up tea, there are forty-five kinds of tea arrays alone, and each tea array has its own deep meaning and exquisiteness.

For example, in the Taoyuan Rebellion, a pot of three cups is placed on the table, and the person who breaks the formation must remove the teacups on both sides and only take the middle cup to drink.

Another example is the plum blossom array, five cups of tea are placed on the table like plum blossoms, and those who break the formation can never drink a cup in the middle!

Another example is to bring your sister-in-law into the city, a pot of six cups, four cups in the tea tray, two cups on the table, the one who breaks the formation must put the two cups on the table back into the tea tray, and say, "Bring loyalty and righteousness into the city", but the tea is not touched!

Although the tea array set up by Liao Heiniu today is simpler, it is also full of fire.

Qingyun Building was originally the property of the Liao family, and since Yilong established the hall, it has become the base camp of Qingyun Hall.

There are only more than 30 people in Qingyuntang, most of them are guys from shops in various places of the Liao family, as Yilong said, he started this Qingyuntang just to win over ordinary brothers, so as not to make the family suffer.

Today, Liao Heiniu arrived at Qingyun Tower in a brocade robe, and first met the brothers in the hall one by one, and then sat in the hall with a golden sword, waiting for Liu Jingui, the helmsman of Fuguitang, to come.

Although Qinghechang is prosperous, but it is not as good as Jiangcheng, the so-called "shallow water can not raise a real dragon", in Liao Heiniu's view, the hall in Qinghechang is just a small fight, since a dragon has established a hall, and only Liu Jingui of Fuguitang can not get along with the Liao family, so he is the only guest today.

Liao Heiniu sat in the hall, Zhan Ran stood on one side, and the brothers lined up on both sides of the hall, everyone held their heads high and looked solemn.

A tea table has been set up in the hall, and Lu Sanye, the steward of Qingyun Hall, put the three teacups in the center of the coffee table, put the teapot aside, and put the three teacups in a line, and the teapot spout is facing the teacup, which is the so-called "battle tea".

It was almost noon, and Yilong welcomed Liu Jingui in at the door, and sat down as the guest of honor.

Liao Heiniu watched this scene quietly, without saying a word from beginning to end, although Liu Jingui was very prosperous in Qinghechang, but in his eyes, it was like a flow!

You must know that although Liao Heiniu went to Jiangcheng at the age of eighteen, he leveled the Qinghe field with a pair of fists at the age of fifteen.

Therefore, after Liu Jingui sat down, he gently removed the teacups on both sides, grabbed the cup of tea in the middle and drank it all, hurriedly got up, and hugged his fist at Yilong, "Brother Liao, a few days ago, if there is anything that is not done well and is not clear, please Haihan!" ”

"Brother Liu," Yilong hurriedly got up and returned the salute with his fists, "You are serious......"

After all, he's still a hairy boy who has just entered the industry!

Seeing this, Liao Heiniu sighed secretly, stood up, and strode over, "Brother Liu, don't come to harm!" ”

"Brother Liao," the main man spoke, Liu Jingui finally breathed a sigh of relief, and hurriedly hugged his fist at Liao Heiniu, bowing down to compose, "I haven't seen you for many years, Brother Liao is becoming more and more powerful!" Thanks to Brother Liao's concern, the little brother is just a loach rolling in the muddy water soup, which is not as good as Brother Liao's real dragon! ”

"Turtle's," Liao Heiniu walked over, stretched out his hand and patted Liu Jingui's shoulder, laughing, "Brother Liu is too modest, the so-called back waves of the Yangtze River push the front waves, a generation of newcomers is better than the old, Brother Liu will definitely not be idle in the future......"

"Don't dare, don't dare," Liu Jingui hurriedly smiled, "Brother Liao is like the phoenix that flies first, and the younger brother is just a ......."

"Okay," Liao Heiniu interrupted Liu Jingui with a wave of his hand, his expression was solemn, "Brother didn't come to you today to listen to your flattery!" ”

Liu Jingui was stunned, his face was hot, but he didn't dare to attack, so he had to nod again and again, "Please also ask Brother Liao to command!" ”

"Well," Liao Heiniu nodded quietly, raised his hand and pointed at the dragon, and said casually, "Originally, I didn't want him to follow my old path, but since the baby has already chosen the road, I, the father, can't stand in the way, so I can only help him support it." ”

"That's, that's ......"

Liu Jingui nodded again and again.

"Brother Liu!" Liao Heiniu suddenly sighed, "This baby will only turn sixteen this winter!" ”

As he spoke, Liao Heiniu patted Liu Jingui on the shoulder, "Come to think of it, Brother Liu also made a lot of mistakes when he was his age!" ”

"Yes, yes,"

Liu Jingui nodded again and again, "Thanks to the cultivation ...... the big brothers in the hall."

"Well," Liao Heiniu nodded, and the conversation changed, "I also want to cultivate this baby well, but now it can't be done, and there are more than two thousand brothers waiting for me on the front line...... I can't let them go! ”

Being able to mix with the helm handle, Liu Jingui was naturally not stupid, and hurriedly raised his head and straightened his chest, with a solemn face, "Brother Liao, please rest assured, from now on, as long as Brother Yilong is in need, the younger brother should be sent at will, and he can get it in the water and fire, and in the blood and knife!" ”

"Good!" Liao Heiniu praised loudly, turned his head to look at Lu Sanye, "Set the wine and serve the food......

The tea in Qingyunlou was finished, the wine and food also came up, and the banquet in the Li family's old mansion was also coming to an end.

The summer heat was unbearable, and the two babies began to get sleepy when they were full of food and drink, but they all refused to sleep.

Li Siwei had to carry them back to the east wing, lay down on the bed together, and gently said, if you don't sleep with the two dolls, I'm afraid you won't be able to go today.

"Young master," Xichun's voice sounded outside the door, "Let's wipe the two babies first!" ”

"Come in," Li Siwei responded, and was about to get up and get out of bed, but saw that the two babies were still pulling on their sleeves and refused to let go, so they had to persuade gently, "Dad will wash your face!" Look at the two of you eating like little cats......"

The two babies let go, Xichun had already come in with a basin of water, Li Siwei hurriedly got out of bed and took the basin, twisted the towel back, and carefully wiped the faces of the two babies...... Looking at the well-behaved appearance of the two babies, Li Siwei couldn't help but sigh secretly.

When the baby needs companionship the most, I can't be by their side...... Shame on you!

In fact, which parent doesn't want to be with the baby?

As the sun set, Liao Heiniu had already changed into a military uniform and went straight to the backyard, but saw that the old man's door was tightly closed, so he had to call softly at the door, "Dad, my son is gone, wait...... I'll come back to see you when I have a chance! ”

"Well," the old man replied softly in the room, "Chuan'er, the knife and gun have no eyes, how careful you ......"

"My son knows," Liao Heiniu hurriedly agreed, kneeling at the door with both knees, "Bang...... Boom...... Bang ......", kowtowed three times in a row, and then got up and strode away.

"Squeak......

After a long time, the door was gently opened a crack, and the old man stood behind the door tremblingly, looking at the front yard from afar, and the old tears were full of tears, but silent.

In the front yard, the three women were already crying, and the two girls were also silently wiping their tears behind their backs.

Liao Heiniu had already taken Zhan Ran out of the courtyard first, and the three and a half children led the horse and followed closely with their bags.

After leaving the courtyard gate and going to the street, Liao Heiniu suddenly stopped, turned around and looked deeply at the three and a half children, and smiled slightly, "One dragon, two tigers, three leopards...... Go back, Daddy will come back to see you when he has the chance! ”

"Daddy......"

The three and a half sons shouted in unison, all of them with reluctant faces, "We'll send you ...... again"

"Let's go back!" Liao Heiniu was still smiling reluctantly, but his red eyes couldn't be concealed, "Don't give it away...... Take good care of my grandfather, mother, and sister at home......"

Give?

Sending you a thousand miles must be goodbye in the end!

In Sifang Village, Li Siwei also stopped on the stone bridge, and waved his hand vigorously to a group of relatives and friends who came to see him off, but he couldn't speak, so he had to smile hard.

Although he was already smiling hard, the tears couldn't help but fall......

"Commander......" Liu Tianfu handed over the reins, and his voice was also thick nasal.

"Let's go!"

Li Siwei gritted his teeth, turned over on the horse, slapped the horse's buttocks fiercely, and galloped away.

Parents...... There are also two babies who were finally put to sleep...... Alas!

The sunset, the ancient road, the galloping horse, the helpless people have already shed tears!

In the hazy eyes of tears, Li Siwei seemed to hear his mother's sad cry "My son" and the heartbroken cry of the two babies "Dad...... Woohoo......"
