42 On the feast before returning to the hometown, the delicacies are widely welcomed, and the wine is blocked at the banquet

"Grandpa is leaving tomorrow, are you willing to give up grandpa?" After lunch, Lao Ma grabbed Yangyang and asked Xiao Bu in a half-native Qin-accented Mandarin.

"Uh...... Reluctant. Yang Yi fluttered his eyelashes, revealing his bright eyes.

"Then will you stay with grandpa this afternoon?" The old horse sighed in a low voice.

"Uh-no!" Yangyang crossed his legs against the sofa, pouted and turned his head in refusal.

"Why?" The old horse is not happy or reconciled.

"Because the Zhou Zhou family has that ...... Lego toys – lots and lots of them! So much! Yang Yang gestured with his arms, as if the toy had a universe in size.

"Hey, I'm leaving tomorrow! When you leave, you don't even think about playing with me! The old horse pouted and threatened.

"Uh...... Then I'll play with you again when I come back from Zhou Zhou's house, okay? Yang Yang asked sincerely.

"Fuck it! Who knows when you'll be back! Yesterday, I was cheeky and still eating at someone's house! Ay...... That's it! You go and play with your week! Let Grandpa stay alone! The old horse waved his hand, and Yangyang immediately ran to the kitchen to find her father, begging her father to take her to Zhou Zhou's house to play Lego.

Lao Ma saw the shadow of her happily running away, his heart was extremely stunned, and he muttered for a long time: Little Tanhua, Little Tanhua, Little Confused Fairy, Little Foolish Fairy, Clever Ghost, Clever Ghost! The lost old man sat in the rocking chair and chewed many times, unconsciously waiting for Yangyang to come back to accompany him—from half-past twelve to half-past one, from half-past one to half-past two. The child's house went for most of the day.

In a blink of an eye, the old horse returned to Majiatun, and saw that the freshly picked fruits were placed everywhere in the house, and he stroked his four Ah Huang, satisfied. Suddenly, their family - Gui Ying's mother, Xingbang, Xingsheng, Gui Ying - sat on the hot kang and chatted, he forgot what he talked about, he only remembered a group of people giggling, and later they touched dominoes, ate melon seeds, and made dumplings together. Suddenly, she came to the house and walked straight towards herself, unsuspecting that the villain got into her arms, and called him happy and happy.

A few days later, he was walking on the road and ran into Gui Ying and her aunt! When the brother and sister met one by one, they were very happy, and the two sat on the side of the road and chatted about the years in each family, and chatted until dark. When Lao Ma and his sister were separated, he came back and came across Brother Tie Sheng's grave, and just then, he buried Brother Tie Sheng's old watch under the grave with him, and burned a piece of paper money to honor him.

When I went back to the house, I saw Gui Ying's mother-in-law (grandmother) sitting on a small bench at the door peeling peanuts, and the old horse sitting on the stone shaft at the door. Mother and son face the Yingge Valley on both sides, their faces covered with the golden sunset, pulling each other homely, saying nothing until dark. Then he burned the hot kang and helped his seventy and eighty old mother to get on the hot kang and saw that she fell asleep and the old horse also slept.

Early the next morning, he took the cart and the shovel to the wheat field to pull the bran and corn stalks to make firewood, and on the way he saw a snow-white fox—it was an old fox with a very large embryo, and he knew the fox, and everyone in the village knew it, and people were not afraid of the white fox, and the white fox was not afraid of people. It came up from the Yingge Valley, and its old nest was at the bottom of the Yingge Valley. The old fox shook his fat body and twisted his ass and walked slowly towards him, the old horse was busy ignoring it, and the white fox approached, suddenly hugged his calf, and shouted "Grandpa!" Grandfather! The old horse looked down and saw that he was a little foolish fairy! Isn't it the old white fox that often comes to the village? How did you become your own baby! Lao Ma was puzzled, thought about it carefully, and then remembered that he should be in Gui Ying's house......

After such an investigation, the person woke up, and it turned out to be a dream. The old horse recalled the old white fox in his dream, which was common in his childhood. The white fox has a gentle personality, often walks in the village, is not afraid of people at all, and people do not chase it, the old white fox dangles around like his own village, and has been shaking for many years. Every spring, summer and autumn is the most common, and then I don't know where to go, I should be too old and die. The old horse lit a pot of cigarettes to refresh himself. I went to the toilet and found that there was no one at home.

Zhiyuan went out in the afternoon, carrying two or three shopping bags to the opposite shopping mall and supermarket to buy things for his father-in-law to take with him. According to the list made by Gui Ying, you have to go to one place to buy special products, the things you bring to the second brother go to another place, and the rest of the small things are all in the supermarket, so you can't come back until five o'clock in the afternoon.

Lao Ma was alone at home, just taking advantage of no one to clean up and clean himself: washing his hair, wiping his body, cutting his nose hair, shaving, washing sweat towels, wiping boxes, shining shoes, wiping crutches...... I was busy until five or six o'clock. When he was looking for Yangyang, he saw that Yangyang still hadn't come back, and he didn't know where Zhou Zhou's family lived, so he was very depressed.

After Zhiyuan came back, he first regulated the big bags and small bags of things, and then went to pick up Yangyang, and when the boy returned home at six o'clock, the four of them went to the nearby Fujian restaurant to eat together. This is the last good meal that my father-in-law ate in Shenzhen, Zhiyuan specially ordered the four most famous - Buddha jumping over the wall, squirrel fish, lychee meat, stuffed tofu, afraid that the three men would not be able to eat enough, he ordered two additional noodles - Fujian-style sand tea noodles and lo noodles.

After the dishes were served, Zhiyuan first served the dishes to Yangyang, and the boy ate it himself. Today's table of dishes is really beautiful, Lao Ma couldn't help but take out his mobile phone to take pictures, thinking that when he returned to the village, he could tell the villagers what a good dish he ate outside.

"Which is the Buddha jumping over the wall?" The old horse asked after taking a photo.

"This!" Tsai said, pointing to a large basin full of them.

"I've always heard on TV that this Buddha jumped over the wall, Buddha jumped over the wall, and I will taste it for a while today!" The old horse fished out a piece of meat from it, tasted it, how could it be chicken, and sandwiched another piece - it was pork, and another piece - it was mutton!

"It turned out to be a hodgepodge! I just think that Buddha jumping over the wall is a high-end dish! What does it taste...... It's a bit weird, it's not like four! The meat is good, soft and tender, and it tastes delicious! The dolls should love this! The old horse sandwiched a neat piece of meat for Yangyang, and when he saw Yangyang scooping it up with a small spoon and swallowing it in one gulp, the old man's heart was beautiful.

"Dad, this squirrel fish is delicious!" Zhiyuan motioned to the old horse to eat fish.

"Grandpa, this fish is really delicious!" Tsai Tsai also highly recommended.

"I just got some soup, it's delicious, and it looks terrible!" The first time I saw the old horse of the squirrel fish, I couldn't help but get goosebumps on my body when I saw that body was like a hedgehog.

"The tofu is delicious, and the meat is delicious! The food I ordered today was good - it was the best meal I had in Shenzhen! It's a comparison with the beef hot pot that day! The old horse nodded in praise.

"So expensive! Of course! You don't think this fish is delicious, this fish is very expensive! Grandpa, don't regret it! "The boy kept eating the fish.

"Let's divide these two hot noodles and eat them while they're hot!" Zhiyuan used chopsticks to divide noodles for the old and young.

As soon as Lao Ma tasted the smell of the sand tea noodles, the fragrance was very good, but there was a sweet taste! Northwesterners are really eating weird! Another portion of lo noodles is barely okay, but it is far less than the oily noodles in his hometown, and the old horse picked a few chopsticks to make it meaningful.

This family of four ate so festively, and Ma Guiying at that end was a little unlucky.

At half past six, Li Yubing stepped on high heels and came to Gui Ying.

"Huh! Gui Ying! I'm looking for you! Do you have something to do at night? Li Yubing stood at the door of Gui Ying's office and asked loudly.

"Uh...... Nope, no! Gui Ying hesitated.

"That's just right! In the evening, Tiancheng Group invited our company to celebrate its 30th anniversary and gave several places. The editorial department went to two, and I thought that we would also go to the two of us to represent the exhibition and business, so you can go with me! Li Yubing pinched the car key and hooked his hand at Gui Ying.

"Uh...... Yes! Is it okay for me to wear this? Gui Ying shook off her loose casual clothes.

"Yes, you can! Not particular! There are so many people! I've heard that there are dozens of tables! Li Yubing's red lips and white teeth smiled slightly.

"I turned off my computer, locked the door, and left immediately!"

"Okay, then I'll be downstairs in the company...... I'll be waiting for you in the car! Li Yubing raised her chin, and then stepped on her high heels and walked away again.

"Okay, Sister Li!" After Gui Ying finished speaking, she began to pack her things.

After the two women got into the car, they arrived at the hotel reserved by Tiancheng Group in about ten minutes, and then spent another ten minutes parking. As soon as I arrived at the gate of the hotel, I saw a number of large and small managers of Tiancheng Group greeting guests at the door, Li Yubing and Ma Guiying had not yet found a familiar docking person, and suddenly heard a voice in the crowd shouting at her: "Oops, oops!" It's an honor, Mr. Li! Manager Ma! This way, please, this way, please! ”

"Oh! Mr. Zhang, hello hello! Li Yubing calmly shook hands with Mr. Zhang, the head of the marketing department of Tiancheng Group.

"Mr. Li is good! Manager Ma, long time no see! After shaking hands with Sister Li, Mr. Zhang turned his head to shake hands with Gui Ying.

"Mr. Zhang is good!"

"It's an honor for you to be here today, Sister Li! Is Lao Qian always in good health? Mr. Zhang asked as he motioned for the two to walk towards the corresponding tables in the hall.

"Good, good! He and Joden weren't in Shenzhen today, so I came over! Your Director Song has sent me messages several times, and I can't talk about it anymore! Ha ha...... Where are you Song Dong? I'll go over and say hi to him! Sister Li asked with a smile on her face.

"I'll take you!" Mr. Zhang led the two of them to search in the hall of hundreds of people.

After greeting Song Dong of Tiancheng Group, Mr. Zhang took the two to their seats, and after saying goodbye politely, he went out to greet other guests. After the banquet began at 7:10, the white-haired and rickety head of the founder of Tiancheng Group appeared on the splicing screen of dozens of square meters, and everyone gradually quieted down. After one leader after another finished speaking, giving speeches, expressing thanks, and releasing various plan reports, it was already eight o'clock, and then the food was served. The leaders of Tiancheng Group began to infiltrate the crowd, toasting table by table, thanking upstream and downstream customers and partners.

When Song Dong took the president of Tiancheng Group and several managers to Li Yubing to toast, Sister Li, who had a small amount of alcohol, refused with a smile, and Ma Guiying could only come out to block the wine. Gui Ying blocked one glass after another, drinking boldly while talking about handsome and romantic scenes, which made the other party laugh loudly and have deep memories. Sister Li was very happy, and after the crowd surrounded Tiancheng's president and walked to the other tables, she praised Gui Ying endlessly. Gui Ying blushed and only giggled. Sister Li ate a few bites of food, knew that she had completed the task, and didn't want to linger in the noise for more, so she said hello to Gui Ying and drove away.

Ma Guiying didn't eat a mouthful of food, and drank seven or eight glasses of wine first, although it was red wine, she couldn't help but have such a large amount at once. She hurriedly went to eat a table of vegetable leaves, cold meat cubes, leftover side dishes and hard white rice after a dozen people were swept away, wiped her mouth after eating, and came back.

Gui Ying has seen this kind of scene a lot, she already knows how to deal with it, and she also knows how to deal with it beautifully, but she is slightly lost in her heart - a loss that is more powerful than the strength of the wine. Sister Li treats her well, it is normal for the leader to block wine, and when Gui Ying encounters a special period, Sister Li also blocks wine for her. It's just that she didn't eat at noon or dinner today, and her stomach was fragile and inflamed, but now she poured a lot of wine down violently, and Gui Ying covered her stomach and moaned silently in the taxi along the way.

After eating in the evening, after Zhiyuan sent the old and young home, Zhou Zhou was already waiting at the door of the house, and as soon as he entered the door, he pulled Yangyang and curled up in the house to watch cartoons. Zhiyuan saw that Lao Ma did not have a power bank, so he was going to go to the big shopping mall opposite to buy a power bank, as well as something for the old man to eat on the high-speed train tomorrow, so it would be another hour or two.

"Boy! This German pen is for you! I don't need it! Lao Ma was in the house again, thinking of the German pen and his status as a villager after returning to the village, he felt that it was best to leave this money to his grandson.

"Really? Are you willing? Tsai sat up and glared at him.

"For you, not for outsiders! What's there to be reluctant to! The old horse was disdainful.

"That ripple lost you, you're still so angry!"

"Tsk! What are you doing with the past! The old horse rolled his eyes at his grandson.

"Grandpa, it's best for you to give my dad this pen! My dad was a man of letters, and he liked this kind of thing. In addition to learning that our generation rarely uses a pen, we use an input method! Tsai Tsai clutched a brand new German pen and flipped through it.

"Do you want it? Don't let me take it back to Majiatun! The old horse straightened his back and looked impatient.

"Yes, yes, yes! Who said no! I'll remember it for the rest of my life! Tsai raised his feet and held the pen with both hands, and the monkey spirit's movements amused the old horse.

"To your dad! Come on! Ay...... Your dad is ...... It's hard to say! ”

"How hard is it to say?" Tsai Tsai was curious.

"Did your dad have any friends when he was a teacher? Why didn't I ever see your dad here? The old horse asked the boy as he packed the box.

"There is a relatively close relationship, but it seems that I haven't been in contact for the past two years!" Tsai Tsai recalled.

"Your father's mobile phone has no other functions besides paying bills! You can still answer a few phone calls a day, I observed for a while, your father's phone is never looking for him except for your mother and you, and he doesn't look for outsiders! His circle is just yours and a family of four! Look at your mother, good fellow, she is still talking on the phone when she gets home at ten o'clock in the evening...... You say these two people are not unusual! ”

"Uh...... These two years...... For the time being, it's like this! They weren't like that before! Tsai Tsai mentioned his parents' defense.

"Your dad doesn't smoke, doesn't drink, doesn't go to KTV, doesn't see friends, doesn't go out, doesn't work, doesn't make money, and won't even change a light bulb and faucet...... Oh my God! Who is this? I think it's either an immortal or a saint! You said to give the pen to your dad - isn't that aiding the abuse? "The old horse made half-truths and half-truths.

Tsai Tsai was stunned and had nothing to answer, thinking that his grandfather was right, but he was afraid of being brainwashed by his grandfather.

"Look at the object your mother is looking for, I can't look at it originally! Ay! The old horse muttered quietly, but the boy heard it clearly.

After a long time, Tsai said softly: "I think I think ...... too My mom has had a bit of a hard time in the past few years! ”

"That means you're still a normal person! I'm afraid that it's not normal for you to stay here for a long time and watch men look at women! In the future, Yangyang will think that a man like your father is the best, and finally find a considerate and delicate person like your father to live, lose or gain? Master tells you - it's a big loss! It's our own baby who suffers from the loss! Do you understand? Men must be responsible! Starting a family has been a man's business since ancient times, not a mother-in-law's! Boy, you have to be conscious in the future, if you really like the girl who came that day, study hard and work hard to make money to support your family in the future, don't be like your father! What doesn't he understand? Pure and soft without squeaking! Sorry for your mother's idiot! The old horse glared at the boy and patted the bed board and said excitedly.

Then, he waved his hand in the air again, licked his lips, raised his chin and squeezed his eyes, and said, "Don't say it, don't say it, you're also big, and Yangyang is not small!" What can I do? Ay! Anyway, I'm leaving tomorrow, out of sight! Bye-bye! She Ma Guiying loves to live her life as she wants! What the fuck am I idle! The old horse shook his head and grinned, his eyes cloudy. The old man was afraid that the child would see it, so he removed the box, patted his buttocks, and went to watch TV.

After Grandpa left, he let out a long breath, put his feet on the table, lay down on the small bed, and meditated for a long time.
