At 9 o'clock, the people surnamed Liu in Liujiatun gathered in the open space outside the ancestral house, and the ground was full of tables, chairs and benches that picked up cars from various households, and everyone sat together. Meng Chang stood on a stage used to sing a big opera, and the patriarch and the second old lady were also on it. Meng Chang walked a few steps to the front of the stage.

"The clansmen surnamed Liu, today is a happy day, today our Liujiatun insurance team was established, and now I have the patriarch Mr. Liu Shanpu to speak."

"Clansmen, today is September 21st, and today our insurance team in Tun was established, which was suggested by Meng Changxian's nephew, why that? A while ago, the child Liu Mingyu was killed in Beiping, it was the Japanese devil who did it, Meng Chang's nephew said, the devil is cruel, the national strength is strong, now if there is a war, our country's army can't stop it, what if the army can't stop it? We have to fight for our own lives, what if the devil comes, robs our land, and goes to our people? Meng Changxian's nephew asked me to organize this insurance team, he is proficient in the army, and he can lead everyone to practice some skills to kill the enemy, so when the devil comes, we will not be powerless to fight back. The clansmen, the selected team members, must listen to Meng Changxian's nephew's words, practice hard to kill the enemy, if the one who is cheating and cheating, he will be kicked out of the insurance team, and Liu Jiatun will be kicked out, if you don't treat the clansmen as relatives, then don't blame me for not treating you as a clansman. "Liu Shanpu dressed up carefully today, full of spirit, and his aura is very strong.

"Yes, yes, what the patriarch said is right, practice hard to kill the enemy, and stealthily and slippery to get out of Liujiatun" There was a shout below, and they all applauded the patriarch.

"I would like to ask the second old lady to tell you a few words" After a while, Meng Chang took a step forward.

"Clansmen, the patriarch who should be said has said it, I will say one thing, I am seventy-two this year, as the old saying goes, seventy-three, eighty-four, Hades does not call himself to go. I don't know if I can get past this hurdle yet, but today, I take out my coffin, and then take out all my savings, and order another 133 coffins, I will give you a strong trip in advance, and prepare a mouthful for each of the clansmen who participate in the insurance team, you don't have to worry about what happens after death, our Liu family has been here for generations, and the villagers have helped each other, children, Liu Jiatun is all protected by you" The second old lady said Finally, his voice was a little hoarse, and the topic he said was a little heavy.

In the past, in China, the common people were relatively poor, and many people did not even have a coffin after death, so they buried them with a thin sheet. Those who have a slightly better family background prepare coffins in advance after the old man is fifty years old, and some old people go to see their coffins every year, saying that this is where he will sleep in the future. Now the second old lady said that he would give everyone a coffin, which is too much, and at the same time, the people who participated in the insurance team were not more than thirty-five years old, which was a bit tragic. Below everyone fell silent, and this is when people began to realize that things could be a little more serious. Meng Chang saw that today was off to a good start, and on the first day, he couldn't be cold. Hurriedly walked a few steps and came to the front of the stage.

"The clansmen surnamed Liu, what the second old lady said just now is a bit heavy, this is an ardent hope for you, I hope you will not be afraid of hardship, don't be afraid of tiredness, as long as we have good training and sophisticated weapons, what are we afraid of. The little devil also has two arms and a head, chopped off his head, he can't live, he is raised by his father and mother, he is not more resistant to beating than us, when the time comes, just like we kill chickens and pigs during the New Year, the past knife down, and the account will be settled. Meng Chang said this, and there was a burst of laughter.

"Today is a happy day, below, there is a banquet that has been served, congratulations on the establishment of our insurance team, we must eat and drink well, now the banquet is open," Meng Chang finally pulled his neck and shouted.

The people surnamed Liu, who began to calm down, were immediately attracted by the table full of wine and food, and the children even stretched out their hands and grabbed the roast chicken and pig's trotters on the table. The shouting and scolding of women, the sound of men's fists, the cries and laughter of children, noisy in the square, Meng Chang looked at this scene and was very moved. Many children have not eaten roast chicken, many women have not been to a banquet, and many men have not drunk for a long time. Meng Chang is very proud, very proud, Liujiatun is his second hometown, and now it is his roots......

Meng Chang was drunk, he didn't use his internal strength to force wine, he had no defense, no plotting, only a strong local kindness, so he was drunk......

At a little after 4 o'clock the next day, Meng Chang woke up on time, which was the result of years of training as a mercenary. After washing, Meng Chang went out of the house, punched and kicked in the yard, it was almost 5 o'clock, and several of the people named yesterday rushed to the gate of Meng Chang's courtyard in time, Meng Chang opened the door,

"Okay, it's early, I thought I drank high yesterday, and today I'm going to postpone the departure time, you are all quite punctual" Meng Chang was a little surprised, even he drank too much yesterday, and the others said goodbye.

"Brother, a few of us discussed it, and we didn't dare to drink more yesterday, for fear of delaying things," Liu Xiwang said as he stepped forward.

"That's okay, there are 6 horses over there, I bought them yesterday, you can all ride them, you go to lead the horses first, I'll take some things and leave, rush to Zhengzhou today, see if I can get on the train" Meng Chang said and entered the house, picked up the prepared bag, and a few people flew on the horse, and went straight to Zhengzhou.

"From now on, a few of you are my entourage, don't talk too much on the road, don't make trouble, this time we are very short, and we have a lot of materials to buy, you mainly watch more and listen more. The people outside are not like Liujiatun, there are many people, complicated, and everything is up to me to deal with. Meng Chang repeatedly emphasized with them on the road.

At a little more than 11 o'clock, I arrived in Zhengzhou, at this time Zhengzhou is still relatively prosperous, the street is full of people coming and going, and there is an endless stream of people selling and selling.

Sugar gourd, sugar gourd, sweet and red sugar gourd

Steamed buns, freshly filled pork buns, bean paste filling, pork filling, and egg filling

Guest officer, guest officer, the shop is clean and hygienic, the new bedding, come to the shop to stay and play sharp

All kinds of clamor voices filled his ears, and Meng Chang took the horse with him to a hotel called Gao Sheng Laodian.

"A few uncles, are you staying in the hotel or sharpening" The shopkeeper hurriedly came over to greet a few people.

"Hit the tip, live in the store, do you have a courtyard set, give us a courtyard set, there are a lot of people, and then put your good wine and food on the table" Meng Chang said while dismounting.

"Yes, there happens to be a set of Tianzi No. 1 courtyard sets, there are 3 main rooms and 6 wing rooms, uncle, what do you think" The shopkeeper quickly moved out the best courtyard set in the store, he looked at Meng Chang like a rich uncle.

"Okay, just this one, hurry up and send the wine and food over, we have something to do after dinner, in a while, you come over, I have something to ask you, and there is a reward for answering." A few guys came to the side to take over the horses, and Meng Chang left people to follow the shopkeeper to the back.

"There are guests in room No. 1 of the Son of Heaven, there are masters, and there are six people; A good banquet table," the shopkeeper reported the number while walking.

When I arrived at the backyard, I saw that it was a very good courtyard set, planted with a big peach tree, planted with flowers and grass on both sides, there were several large windows in the upper room, pasted with new window paper, with the door, the shopkeeper hurriedly stepped forward to open the door, there was a table of eight immortals, two chairs, a row of two slips and four, the wood of the mahogany was shiny and shiny. There is a double bed in the room, and the newly changed bedding exudes a sunny smell of new cotton.

"It's okay, it's very bright, Xiao Er, we want to take the train to Hankou after dinner, where to buy tickets." Meng Chang sat down on the main seat next to the Eight Immortals table.

"Uncle, I don't think it's going to work today, there are a lot of people these days, and we have a service in our store to help customers buy tickets, and I just heard that the guy said that it will be scheduled until tomorrow." The shopkeeper leaned forward and said.

"Oh, that's okay, you help us buy 6 tickets to Hankou, it's best to buy a box" Meng Chang looked at it, there was no way, he could only rest for a day, just take this time to take a few of them around Zhengzhou, let them get familiar with it first, or if they arrive in Shanghai, they haven't seen the world yet, it's funny.

After a while, the wine and food came up, first came 4 pressure table dishes, a pot of good wine, followed by eight meat and eight vegetables, a big table, Liu Xiwang and others were overjoyed, and it was good to follow the captain, damn, just eating is a few grades higher than others, and the heart is beautiful.

Meng Chang and a few people tore open their cheeks, cracked the big molars, and began to build, no one spoke, and after about twenty minutes, Liu Xiwang spoke first.

"Oops, it's going to kill me," he took a toothpick, picking his teeth and talking in the vernacular.

"Big brother, I didn't see you eat less" Meng Chang glanced at Liu Xiwang.

"Brother, it's not that the eldest brother said you, just eat a little, I won't talk about it yesterday in Tunli, on a festive day, if you have money, you can spend it, now we go out to do errands, live in such a good place, and there are sixteen large items, it's a bit wasteful, how much does it cost" Liu Xiwang was a little distressed about the money.

"It's the captain, we are all croppers, we are used to being poor, we eat so well at once, we live so well, even the patriarch's house does not have such a good room, and the people in the tun have never eaten such a meal in their lives, don't spend so much money next time" Liu Xicai, the first captain, said.

"Yes, yes, don't spend so much money next time, it's distressing," a few of them echoed.

"Okay, it's very good to say one by one, I don't see you saving me a little bit when you eat it, it's all very fast," Meng Chang said to these people.

"No, you have called so much, if you don't eat or waste, what a waste of food" The second captain Liu Shanming was more honest and his face was a little red.

"Okay, I know, the poor family is like this, they are all full of food and drink, drink some tea and rest for a while, I will take you to go shopping and see what is the difference between this and Liujiatun" Meng Chang talked for a while, let them all go to rest, and rode all morning, they were very tired.
