Chapter 32: Relatives

It was just dawn, and before Wu Shaogang and the others had time to have breakfast, guests came to the house. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

The people who came were Wu Shaogang's uncle Wu Qirong and second uncle Wu Qibiao.

In fact, when he clashed with Sun Yaowu yesterday, Wu Shaogang saw Wu Qirong and Wu Qibiao, both of them were hiding in the crowd to watch the excitement, and they didn't think about coming out at all, of course, Wu Shaogang didn't think about blaming the two elders, after all, the Wu family has no power in Jiangxia Village, and all of them belong to the vulnerable group.

The Wu family in Jiangxia Village is not prosperous at all, and after so many years, there has never been any character in the family, it has always been at the bottom of the society, and there is not much movement between relatives, and the family affection is not so strong.

The so-called people are poor and short-minded, there are no talents in the family, so they naturally cannot raise their heads, and the existence of the family is equivalent to fictitiousness.

This time, Wu Shaogang went home, his performance was amazing, and it was said that his identity was not ordinary, so his relatives must be coming to visit.

Seeing Wu Qirong and Wu Qibiao coming, Wu Qiming hurriedly walked out of the house and beckoned the two brothers to dinner.

Wu Shaogang naturally followed, he would not owe anything in terms of etiquette, people are terrible, no matter how relatives treat their family, now his identity is not ordinary, if he can appease his relatives, he should take action, and in his plan, the Wu family also occupies a certain position.

After seeing Wu Shaogang, Wu Qirong spoke.

"My nephew came home yesterday, and we were afraid that you would be tired and didn't come over, so we came to see it today."

"The eldest uncle and the second uncle are here, let's eat together."

"We've already eaten, you eat, let's sit for a while."

As soon as you enter the house, the smell of meat and wine wafts through.

Wu Qirong and Wu Qibiao probably didn't expect that there was such a fragrance in their younger brother's house, and judging from the fragrance, there were mutton, beef and pork, and mutton was rare these days.

The table was already full of wine and food, some of which were bought by Zhang Binghui and others from the town, and some were made by Xu Zongying in the morning, there were a total of ten people in the family, among which Xu Zongying and Wu Shaolan would not be on the table, and the remaining eight people were just right.

The newly bought tables and chairs in the house were also set up, the brand-new square table, plus the brand-new chairs, and the bags of food placed in the corner, made Wu Qirong and Wu Qibiao stunned.

Wu Qiming continued to invite the eldest brother and the second brother to eat and drink together.

Wu Shaogang looked at all this, he felt a little uncomfortable in his heart, he obviously wanted to eat, why be polite, where did the relatives come from so much, since they came, they sat down to eat together, it was nothing more than adding two chairs and two pairs of chopsticks.

In fact, Wu Shaogang also noticed that Wu Qirong and Wu Qibiao both shirked on the surface, and their eyes were always looking at him.

"Uncle, second uncle, since you are here, let's eat together, they are all your own family, don't be polite."

As soon as Wu Shao said this, Wu Qirong and Wu Qibiao walked over and did not refrain from shirking.

When he was supposed to sit down, seeing that Wu Qirong and Wu Qibiao were going to continue to be polite, Wu Shaogang simply spoke.

"Uncle, second uncle, you are elders, naturally you should be seated, Dad, you sit down first, and I will arrange the following things."

The square table can only seat eight people, and before Wu Shao could make arrangements, Ma Long and Du Xiaoqi went to the kitchen to have a look and wanted to help serve the food.

Wu Shaogang didn't say much, he sat next to his father Wu Qiming.

Ma Long held the two jars of Shaoxing Laojiao and gently placed them on the table.

Wu Qirong and Wu Qibiao's eyes were a little straight, this kind of Shaoxing Laojiao, even if it was the family of the elderly, Li Zheng and Jiashou in the village, they were reluctant to take it out and drink, it is said that a jar of Shaoxing Laojiao, close to forty Jiaozi, can be exchanged for a stone of grain.

Wu Shaogang skillfully patted the sealing mud, and a fragrance wafted out again.

After pouring the wine himself, Wu Shaogang picked up a brand new wine bowl.

"Uncle, second uncle, I salute you for this bowl of wine, I have been away from home for three years, I have not taken care of many things at home, I feel a little guilty, I can't stay for a long time when I go home this time, I will leave for the capital in the middle and late next month, and I will ask my uncle and second uncle to help me in the future."

"That's what my nephew said, and that's what we should do."

A bowl of wine was in his stomach, and Ma Long, who was standing behind him, quickly picked up the wine jar and poured wine for Wu Qirong and Wu Qibiao.

Seeing that Ma Long had poured the wine, Wu Shaogang stood up again and spoke to Wu Qiming beside him.

"Dad, this bowl of wine is a toast to you."

Wu Qiming also stood up, his eyes slightly red.

The two of them didn't say anything, and drank the whole bowl of wine in one go.

Yesterday, Lang Zhong prescribed a pair of traditional Chinese medicine, Wu Qiming has already drunk a pair, the effect is very good, when he gets up in the morning, the cough is much better, but the wine is still not able to drink more.

"Dad, your body has not yet recovered, drink as little wine as possible, and I will accompany the eldest uncle and second uncle to drink a bowl today."

Wu Qiming nodded again and again and did not speak.

Wu Shaogang held chopsticks and kept sandwiching meat for Wu Qirong and Wu Qibiao, he knew that the two of them were embarrassed.

Wu Qiming showed a lot of Sven, after all, he ate a lot of meat yesterday and felt that he hadn't fully digested it, so he couldn't eat so much today.

Wu Shaogang also sandwiched a lot of meat for his younger brother Wu Shaozun, Wu Shaozun's body was too thin and needed nutritional supplements.

Looking at everything Wu Shaogang did, Zhang Binghui's eyes lit up, in his impression, Wu Shaogang was decisive, as for the emotional aspect, it was not so delicate, I didn't expect that after returning home, Wu Shaogang's attitude changed a lot, and he showed his concern for his family everywhere.

While everyone was eating meat, Wu Shao just got up and went to the kitchen next to him.

Xu Zongying and Wu Shaolan eat here.

There is a small table in the kitchen, there is a large pot of mutton, two small pots of beef and pork, and some grass, Wu Shaolan is eating mutton with a bowl, and Xu Zongying is watching Wu Shaolan on the side, occasionally eating a bite of meat.

Seeing Wu Shao just come in, Xu Zongying unconsciously turned around to get the bowl.

"Shao Gang, come and do it, eat more meat...

"Mother, no, I'll eat outside, just come in and take a look, little sister, eat slowly, don't worry, my brother promises to let you have meat to eat every day in the future."

Hearing Wu Shaogang say this, Xu Zongying's body trembled slightly and turned his head.

Wu Shaolan looked up at Wu Shaogang, not afraid at all.

"Brother, this mutton is so delicious."

This breakfast lasted for more than half an hour.

Wu Qirong and Wu Qibiao obviously drank a little more, and their faces were red.

"Uncle, second uncle, I plan to invite the relatives of the Wu family to come to the house for dinner on the second day of the second month of February, and everyone will get together for a gathering.

"Okay, okay, I'll come to Zhang Luo for this matter, so don't worry about it."

Looking at Wu Qirong, Wu Shaogang nodded slightly.

"Then it's troublesome for Uncle to worry about, there are still a lot of things to do at home, and I really can't be busy."

"If there is anything about my nephew, just ask, as long as we can help, we will do our best."

"Oh, then I'm welcome, there are only three houses in the family, too small, I plan to build more than ten houses, and at the same time I have to enclose a yard, so that it is a separate house, as for the money and food needed, I am ready, but I am not particularly familiar with the craftsmen in Luzhou, and the wages are not particularly clear, and the time requirements are also very tight, and it must be completed within a month."

At this moment, Wu Qirong and Wu Qibiao were dumbfounded.

Building a separate house is not a trivial matter, and the cost of money and food is very large, and it needs to be completed within a month, which requires too many people.

"Nephew, this month's time, at least a hundred or so people are needed, and it consumes a lot."

"Uncle, I said it, you don't have to worry about money, you need as much as you need, the key is time, and you must invite the best craftsmen in Luzhou."

"Okay, my nephew said so, then I will definitely help."

Wu Shaogang smiled and took out two ingots of silver from his arms.

Each ingot of silver is ten taels, and it is worth about 600 guanjiaozi.

After handing Wu Qirong and Wu Qibiao a certain amount of silver each, Wu Shaogang spoke again.

"The eldest uncle and the second uncle are worried about my family's affairs, this is a little bit of my nephew's heart, my time is very tight, some things will start to discuss today, the sooner the construction starts, the better."

Holding a silver ingot handed over by Wu Shaogang, Wu Qirong's face showed a little shame.

This scene was seen by Wu Shaogang in his eyes, and it also made him feel a little relieved in his heart, to say that the family fell into such a situation, the family did not play any role at all, it is good not to fall into the well, in the poor situation, it is very difficult to think about discovering the goodness of people's hearts.

"Third brother, Shao Gang, the matter of inviting craftsmen is wrapped up in me, I will go to Fucheng today, my kid may still know some craftsmen, so I will ask the second brother to help worry about it."

Wu Qibiao also nodded again and again.

"Okay, okay, find something to do, it's enough within the family."

After Wu Qirong and Wu Qibiao left satisfied, Wu Qiming opened his mouth with some pain.

"Shao Gang, you are too generous...

Wu Shaogang sighed in his heart, it seems that he still has too many things to do at home, according to Wu Qiming's ability and understanding, it is impossible to establish prestige in the village, and it is impossible to convince the people in the village, Wu Shaogang can't force it in this regard, his parents have been poor all their lives, they are frugal and stingy in their bones, it is impossible to be generous, and it is impossible to cultivate a generous temperament.

Hope is on Wu Shaozun, so during this time he is at home, he must cultivate Wu Shaozun well, and let Wu Shaozun be in charge of things at home in the future, so that he can do things outside with peace of mind.
