The banquet of rural people in small counties welcoming guests from afar, although it cannot be as refined as the chef of the 'Jihong Hotel', but it is also four dishes and eight bowls, and it is extraordinarily rich.

Sitting on the kang of the village chief's house, Guo Kaixin found the scene when he celebrated the New Year in his hometown, he was very happy, these people in front of him, in his eyes, have gotten rid of the image of 'liars' and become 'villagers'. ’

"Mr. Fu, Mr. Guo, come on, let's have a glass of my family's self-brewed sorghum wine," the village chief's outfit today is quite ordinary, and there are a few patches on the coarse cloth linen, and the stitches of the patches are square and ruthless, which shows that the village chief's wife must be a diligent woman.

"Okay, I've not eaten this peasant dish for many years, dry, dry," Lao Fu's expression today was also extraordinarily strong, and he drank wine in a big bowl.

"Mr. Guo, why don't you drink?" Lao Wan saw that Guo Kaixin just took a sip of the wine bowl to his mouth, and the sorghum wine in the wine bowl did not decrease.

"Oh, I forgot to tell you, I'm going back to the provincial capital at night, so I'm going to change the car with the driver, and this wine will be free," Guo Kaixin explained what he meant, and even Lao Fu was surprised, he looked at Guo Kaixin with strange eyes.

"Just come and go, why don't you have to sleep for a night," the captain of the production team who ate and drank at the Xiaoxian branch last time was also on the kang today, all because he was better able to drink, so he came to him to accompany the main table.

"I really can't stay anymore, I miss my son a little bit."

Lao Fu didn't speak, he patted Guo Kaixin's back with his hand, "Do you know about going back?" ”

"I didn't tell him, I don't think I can do anything here, I'd better go back first."

"Look at this whole thing, since you don't drink, eat vegetables. Come and eat more vegetables, home-raised chickens, this mushroom is a good hazel mushroom picked on the mountain before, "Lao Wan changed the big bowl of 'chicken stewed mushrooms' in front of Guo Kaixin."

After eating a bite of 'chicken stewed mushrooms', Guo Kaixin felt very delicious, so he said, "I don't want to drink this wine, but is there any dish left?" I want to take some back and give them a taste for my wife and children. ”

"Yes. It's enough, old woman, take a big lunch box for Mr. Guo to wear a box of chickens, and clip a few more pieces of good meat," Guo Kaixin really moved all the rural people on the pit, and the captain of the production team had red eyes, and he didn't know what Lu Dao thought. seems to have moved Guo Kaixin.

After three rounds of wine, Guo Kaixin got up and said, "There is no banquet that will not be dispersed, and the mountains and rivers will meet." I want to leave early. ”

"Let's go," the village chief was still looking at Guo Kaixin reluctantly.

"Yes, let's go now."

"Then let's all go and send it off," said everyone in the village chief's house. They all accompanied Guo Kaixin to the gate of the compound and watched Guo Kaixin get into the 'imported car'.

In this small county, the people of the branch. In addition to listening to Lao Fu, he also listened to Guo Kaixin, he just said to the driver of the 'imported car' before, 'I want to use the car', and did not say that he wanted to go back to City A, although the driver did not eat well, but still followed Guo Kaixin.

Because the road was not easy to walk in the dark, Guo Kaixin and the driver discussed driving, the car drove very slowly, and after leaving the small county, on the provincial highway and the national highway, the 'imported car' that the two of them sat on flew back to City A overnight.

Before entering the city, Guo Kaixin looked at his watch, "It's too late, or I'll send you home first." ”

"Don't, new brother, I'm a match for you, how can you give me a reason, you say, where you want to go, let's go," the driver is a middle-aged man, and he has been with Liu Sheng for two or three years.

"Then go to my mother's house, I'm wrapping my handkerchief around the dish, I want her to eat something,"

"Okay, please."

There were few cars at night, and the horsepower of the 'imported car' was full, and it didn't take long for them to come to the Guo family's old house.

"Mom, Mom, I'm Xiaosi, you come out and open the door!" Across the courtyard wall, Guo Kaixin shouted loudly, because it was late at night, basically the lights of the neighbor's house had already been extinguished.

After a while, the lights in the Westinghouse came on, and a young man walked out, "It's the fourth brother, why did you come back so late, you wait a minute, I'll open the door for you." ”

When Guo Kaixin opened the iron lunch box wrapped in a towel with three layers inside and three layers outside, the "chicken stewed mushrooms" was still fashionable.

"Mom, you taste this, it's delicious," Guo Kaixin was busy back and forth, putting the kang table and getting a bowl for Guo's mother, and the young man and wife who rented the Guo family, plus the driver who traveled with them, all stood still, looking at Guo Kaixin's 'filial piety'.

Guo's mother tasted a bite of the dish, "Where did this dish come from?" ”

"Mom, here's the thing, didn't I accompany others to other places recently, this is what the old farmers in the field do, I saw that it was delicious, so I brought it back to you."

"Someone else, who is someone else?"

"Oh, it's my buddy Liu Sheng's consultant in their company, I've been accompanying him in the past few days."

As soon as Guo's mother heard the name of 'Liu Sheng', she immediately stopped her chopsticks, "I said Xiaosi, why are you messing with Liu Sheng and them again, have you forgotten what your eldest brother once said." ”

"They asked me, and I just wanted it~~", Guo Kaixin hurriedly wanted to find a reason to explain to his mother, but no matter what he thought, he couldn't think of a very good statement.

Guo's mother pushed the lunch box outward and said to the young couple who rented the house, "I'm full, this dish is very delicious, you can take it over and give it to Xiao'er-eat." ”

"Auntie, the children are asleep, so you should keep it for dinner," the young man's wife didn't mean to come forward to take the lunch box.

"Auntie let us take it, fourth brother, let's go over the house," the young man saw the clue of what was going on, he hurriedly stepped forward to take the lunch box away, and dragged his wife back to the Westhouse.

"You wait for me in the car for a while, I have something to say to my mother," Guo Kaixin saw that his mother was angry, and it was not easy for outsiders to be present, so he also drove away the driver of the 'imported car'.

"Close the door!" Guo's mother is full of confidence tonight, she is in her sleep, and Guo Kaixin woke up.

Guo Kaixin obediently closed the door.

"Tell me, do you want to talk to me about something?" Guo's mother lit the cigarette pouch and pot.

"Mom, I know that I was wrong, I came back this time, and I stayed away from Liu Sheng and them, this time it was purely to help friends, and I didn't do anything to fight, you just have to rest assured, I will break off with them when I go back, and I will never contact him again, this is not going down," Guo Kaixin was about to cry urgently, in front of his mother, he must let his mother believe in him and understand him.

"I don't care about your business, how old are you, my half-buried old woman, I don't want to worry about it, you go, I haven't prepared a cover," Guo's mother took a few puffs of cigarettes, knocked the cigarette pouch to the edge of the kang, and was about to 'send off'.

"That's okay, Mom, you rest first, change Ming'er, I'll come with Xiaoliu and them, and then I'll come to see you," Guo Kaixin retreated with tears in his eyes.

"Go home," after getting into the 'imported car', Guo Kaixin's tears could no longer be stopped, he wiped his nose with a handkerchief, and instructed the driver to drive. (To be continued......)
