Originally, Wang Bin wanted to take out the handful of copper coins that Liu Wenfeng had paid for his favor, in order to make his father Wang Changgui happy. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 However, after listening to Wang Changgui's inquiry about the source of this copper coin, he choked up on him who had just stuffed his mouth full of dishes, and for a while, he didn't know how to answer.
For the true source of this copper coin, Wang Bin did not dare to say it in front of Wang Changgui, because with his remaining memory, he learned that Wang Changgui had always been very strict with his family education, and at the same time, he was also very demanding of himself.
Not only that, but for gambling, Wang Changgui also hates it. Because when Wang Bin was very young, if Wang Changgui hadn't been greedy for gambling and lost more than ten acres of fertile land, their family would not have been so bleak. Since then, Wang Changgui has changed his gambling habit and honestly worked as a long-term worker in Liu Yuanwai's house for more than ten years.
Wang Bin, who was in a state of indecision, was looking around whether to tell Wang Changgui whether to tell Wang Changgui that this copper coin was won by Liu Wenfeng and Liu Wencai to share it with him.
At this time, suddenly the door of their fence courtyard "banged", and someone pushed it open from the outside, and then, there was a sound of footsteps in the fence yard, from far and near, the more you listened, the clearer it became.
Before Wang Bin, who was in the midst of indecision, could react, he heard a panting teenager from outside the thatched house, asking: "Please, excuse me, stupid, stupid brother, you, are you at home?" ”
Wang Bin, who was awakened by the inquiry voice of the young man outside the thatched house, immediately heard that it was Liu Wenfeng, so that he didn't dare to make a decision whether to say or not, he panicked all of a sudden, lowered his head very interestingly, and didn't dare to look at Wang Changgui who was sitting next to him with a gloomy black face.
Wang Changgui, who was sitting next to him, heard a young man's question from outside the thatched house, and subconsciously turned his head to look at the person who came outside the door.
"Hey, isn't this Erlang Wenfeng of the Zhenshan family? Why did you come to my Xiaobin? Wen Feng, my Xiaobin is an honest man, he never causes trouble outside, if my Xiaobin provokes Wen Feng and you, I am here for my Xiaobin to accompany Wen Feng, you don't want to trouble our Xiaobin.
"Wen Feng, don't you know, if our two families go up to the fourth or fifth generation, they are still very close and distant relatives. If it's about seniority, you still have to call me uncle.
"Uncle has said so many good things to you here, you and your little brothers can't bully your stupid brothers, even if Uncle begs you here." Wang Changgui, who stood up from the wooden bench, didn't wait for Liu Wenfeng, who was walking quickly, to come to him, he arched his hands while holding it up, and said in a low voice.
Seeing his father Wang Changgui, an adult who was almost forty years old, actually grovelled to speak to a sixteen or seventeen-year-old hairy boy, which made Wang Bin's face dull, and the cheeks on both sides were red and hot.
However, this Liu Wenfeng's family is their Liu family in addition to Liu Yuan's family can count the number of big families, his father is in the county town to open a cloth village, I heard that it has developed to open three branches in various parts of the county, there is a big rhythm of opening a cloth village chain store to monopolize the entire county cloth business.
In the face of such a businessman's son, Wang Bin felt that their small family with four walls could not be provoked, even if his father was smiling kindly on the side, he didn't know what to do, he could only sit on the wooden bench honestly like sitting on pins and needles, without saying a word, please watch the changes.
Wang Bin was not sure about Liu Wenfeng's intention, and Wang Changgui was so attentive, in addition to the faint sense of anger rising in his heart, he also felt a little bit of fear, for fear that Liu Wenfeng came to their house in such a hurry and came to ask him for the fifty or sixty yuan.
As soon as he thought of this, Wang Bin's heart "chuckled", cold sweat broke out on his forehead, his whole body trembled, and his legs trembled. In short, he was afraid that for Liu Wenfeng, who suddenly came out, he felt weak and afraid.
Liu Wenfeng, who strode to the thatched house, carried a schoolbag sewn with silk texture, did not go too deep into it, stood at the door of the thatched house, took a deep breath for a while, and after his breathing stabilized, he looked at Wang Changgui who greeted him in front of him, and Wang Bin, who was sitting at the dining table with a bitter face, but when they were smiling, they were not looking for trouble, but they had always come to report good news.
"Uncle Changgui, look what you just said, you ask me stupid brother, when have you bullied him, it's Liu Wencai's gang of boys who often bullied him a few times when they saw the stupid brothers, and if I met them, I would have been upset with the stupid brothers several times.
"Uncle Changgui, you said that we are all distant relatives, since our two families are relatives, it is even more impossible to bully the stupid brothers." Liu Wenfeng, who straightened out his breath, immediately faced Wang Changgui, who was standing in front of him and nodded, feeling a little uncomfortable, and immediately put on a posture of a junior to meet the elders, bowing and saying respectfully.
At this moment, Wang Bin, father and son, the two of them saw this uninvited guest Liu Wenfeng, speaking so politely and with such a respectful attitude, where did they seem to come to their house to find trouble, they were clearly here to ask for something.
After breathing a long sigh of relief, Wang Changgui felt that this Liu Wenfeng affectionately called him "Uncle Changgui" one by one, and immediately became fluttering when he heard it, and really thought that he had really become Liu Wenfeng's uncle, so he hurriedly stepped forward, and saw that Liu Wenfeng was still carrying a schoolbag, he must have just returned from private school, and asked Liu Wenfeng to sit down for lunch together.
This Liu Wenfeng and his father are the number one businessmen in their county, and they naturally live a life of fine clothes and food, and every meal is not a table of delicacies, and he stood at the door of the thatched house and glanced inside, and saw Wang Bin and his grandfather fried a dish for lunch, and he was a little stupid.
Liu Wenfeng, who shook his head and refused politely, scratched the back of his head, and asked a little crampedly: "No, Uncle Changgui, I came here today to discuss something with my stupid brother, and the family has made the meal, if I don't go home to eat, my mother will beat my ass." What, Uncle Changgui, can I call the fool brother out for a while, I have a few things to study in the private school that I need to ask the fool brother for advice, I don't know if it's okay? ”
Hearing this, Wang Changgui nodded with a smiling face, and then turned around to look at Wang Bin, who was sitting at the dinner table with a frowning eyebrow, and said angrily: "Xiaobin, why are you so rude, didn't you see that your brother Wenfeng came to you to ask you about studying in a private school, what are you still doing sitting there stunned, why don't you quickly stand up and go to the room to give your brother Wenfeng a good guide on the problem of reading." ”
Just waiting for Wang Changgui's order, Wang Bin, who was already sitting on pins and needles, immediately stood up, left the dining table outside as if he had met with amnesty, and took Liu Wenfeng, who came forward, and the two of them entered the thatched house one after the other.
"Brother Fool, I'm here today, I have something to ask for, and please Brother Fool, you can fulfill me?" After walking into the thatched house, before Wang Bin could speak, Liu Wenfeng, who was tired all the way, sat down familiarly, looked at Wang Bin in front of him with begging eyes, and asked in a good voice.
After Wang Bin thought about it for a while, he said with some noncommittality: "Brother Wenfeng, you suddenly broke into my house today, what the hell is going on, you don't want to sell it, just say it quickly." If it was within my ability, I would have done it. But if it's not within my power, then I can't help it. ”
Liu Wenfeng, who rushed to the scene, originally thought that Wang Bin would politely refuse his request, but at this time, after hearing Wang Bin's words on this point, he immediately opened his eyebrows and laughed, nodding his head like a chicken pecking rice, and told the truth: "Silly brother, with your words, my heart will be steady."
"Don't worry, stupid brother, I will cover you in our village in the future, and we will be brothers in the future, this favor is not just a gesture for you, it is just a trivial matter."
Afraid that Wang Changgui, who was staying outside the thatched hut, would hear the secret conversation between them, Liu Wenfeng hurriedly got up and leaned into Wang Bin's ear, whispering like a mosquito.
After listening to Liu Wenfeng's whispered words, Wang Bin immediately nodded without hesitation, and held the hands of Liu Wenfeng and the two of them tightly together while standing in front of him, and since then, they have become a pair of good brothers who treat each other with all sincerity.
After sending Liu Wenfeng away, Wang Bin walked back to the outside of the thatched house from outside the fence courtyard, and as soon as he sat down on the wooden bench next to the dining table, before he could pick up the chopsticks and the half-eaten white flour steamed buns, he heard Wang Changgui, who was sitting on the side and did not move the chopsticks, and asked sternly: "Xiaobin, you haven't told your father yet, where did you get that big handful of copper coins from?" If you don't tell your father honestly, your father will starve you for a meal at night. ”
Wang Bin, who had just sat down, thought that Wang Changgui had forgotten about the cover-up, but after hearing his relentless questioning again, Wang Bin began to feel embarrassed again, and he didn't know whether he should tell the truth or not, and told Wang Changgui the fact that Liu Wenfeng won the money from the bet and gave it to him.
Just when Wang Bin was hesitating, Wang Changgui opened his mouth first, put on a knowing look, and asked: "Xiaobin, don't think I don't know where you got that big copper coin from now, it must have been given to you by this kid Liu Wenfeng, right?" ”
Seeing that Wang Changgui had already guessed the truth, Wang Bin, who didn't say a word, was stunned for a moment, and then nodded.
Immediately afterwards, Wang Changgui continued to ask: "Who is this kid Liu Wenfeng, his father is a businessman who can be called in our ten miles and eight townships, and he runs three cloth villages in the county seat. Although the business is so big, it is an iron rooster. His father is like this, this Liu Wenfeng is naturally a little iron rooster. Dad didn't believe that he would give you as much as fifty or sixty dollars for nothing. ”
Wang Changgui, who said something with a dry mouth, picked up a broken porcelain bowl full of water placed in front of the dining table, drank it all with a "coo-dong", and continued to follow Fang Cai's words and analyzed: "In my father's opinion, Liu Wenfeng must have a request for you. You tell your dad honestly, today, you performed so well in the private school, you even memorized any books, and won glory for Lao Tzu and me, Liu Wenfeng will definitely take the money to let you give him the trick of reciting articles, right? ”
As soon as Wang Changgui's words fell, Wang Bin breathed a long sigh of relief, and then nodded busily.
