With the last languid mooing of the old buffalo, night enveloped the silent village. Ni Fengxia was busy finishing dinner, Wang Xinghai in the courtyard threw away the burnt cigarette butt of the filter sponge, and according to the instructions of Ni Fengxia's eyes, Wang Xinghai called "Little Four" three times to the west wing. Wang En drooped his head and touched into the hall. At the turn of day and night, the lights are still dim, and the atmosphere is simple and misty. The three of them lowered their heads and tossed the rice grains in the bowl, and no one spoke. The dishes on the table seemed a little redundant, and no one cared if they would be delicious tonight. When Wang En put down the dishes and chopsticks in his hand like completing the task, Ni Fengxia was the first to speak. "After dinner, you call the three sons-in-law and ask them to come over tomorrow afternoon to help discuss the marriage of the fourth child, and by the way, invite the elders of the family to come over." Wang Xinghai looked at Ni Fengxia with low eyes, and didn't seem to react to this sudden sentence. Wang En, who had gotten up to leave, sat back on the bench and waited for his mother to make the next arrangement.

"Yes, yes, I'll hit it right away." Wang Xinghai changed to two mouthfuls and pulled out the leftovers in the bowl.

"Tomorrow, you take some money from home and ask Mr. Shao to take a look at the date, set the date of the ceremony and the wedding, and don't wait too long." Ni Fengxia continued to Wang Xinghai in a low tone.

At noon, Ni Fengxia said that she would look for Mr. Shao to see the period, but she didn't mention the money at all, Ni Fengxia said tonight that if she took money from home to do things, this matter would be a certainty. Wang Xinghai was happy in his heart, after borrowing the money from Wang Xingxi, he could ask Wang En to help him build it, and the rest could be kept in his pocket privately, which would make Ni Fengxia ask himself to take money from home to do things, and the money could also go into his own small treasury. simply told Ni Fengxia directly that Mr. Shao was going to buy livestock and take 1,800 yuan from his wife. When Ni Fengxia was washing dishes at noon, she vaguely heard a call from Shen Bing, and she had already guessed that she was not far from ten. didn't care too much about Mr. Shao's unreasonable request, he directly took 2,000 yuan from the cabinet and gave it to Wang Xinghai, and the remaining 200 yuan told Wang Xinghai to buy some wine and meat in the town tomorrow.

The next day, Wang Xinghai went to the town early to buy some pig water, pork and grain wine. I invited the elders in the family, and at about four o'clock, I went to the house of the crooked mouth Zhang Laoba to go to the livestock. "Didn't I tell you to come back in the dark?" Crooked mouth, Lao Ba said casually.

"If there's something going on in the evening, that's going to be settled." Wang Xinghai said with a smile.

"I have always said that one is one, two is two, businessmen are based on integrity, and they say that they will hold the lamp at eight o'clock, and they will never light it at seven o'clock. Come and fetch it again when the hour comes. ”

"It's all about taking it early and taking it late, why do you care about that one or two points. You won't lose anything by taking it early. ”

"What you said, I am going to lose money when I am late in business, this is my principle of life, and it is naturally not possible to do it early."

"Starling, eighth master, you let me take it, I really have something to do at night, I will invite you to drink at home to make amends, you say okay."

"Don't make amends or not, you violated the creed of a businessman, it was originally not okay, but seeing that you are really urgent, I won't care about you, you go to the village to buy a bag of 'fine money' cigarettes for me to smoke."

"I brought 3 yuan when I went out, so I could only buy a bag of lilies."

"Just excuse me, give you a step down, I really don't know your pack of broken cigarettes. Just don't discredit my credo in business. ”

"You have a fucking creed, both as a bitch and as a torii, Lao Tzu doesn't know you yet, if it weren't for your cheapness, Lao Tzu would come to beg you!" Wang Xinghai scolded in his heart.

After taking the cattle and coming to Mr. Shao's house, Mr. Shao pretended to be serious and flipped through the broken book, sighing as he flipped it, and said, "Bad fate! Bad fate! Squinting at the animals that were tied up and dying, he swallowed his saliva and said, "It's hard to solve it!" It's hard! ”

Wang Xianghai wiped his head full of sweat and said, "Master Shao, no matter what, you have to do me this favor, there is no crooked way that can escape your eyes, you see, I am ready with you for money." He took out the 800 yuan he had prepared in advance from his panty pocket.

Seeing this, Mr. Shao's eyes flickered, and he said, "I don't think it's easy for the two children, so you go back first, and let me worship my master at night and ask if this evil fate can be solved!" If it can be solved, you will come tomorrow to get the engagement and marriage date, and if it is not solved, you should not bother anymore. ”

"Then where is your master, let's just go over and ask in person."

"My master is in Elysium, and we can't go."

"Ah...... He's dead? ”

"It's not dead, it's the crane immortal."

"And how do you ask?"

"It's not something you have to worry about, just go back and listen to it."

Wang Xinghai was made anxious by Mr. Shao, and his nonsense covered by clouds and mountains made Wang Xinghai's second monk even more confused.

At home, Ni Fengxia has prepared the meals for the evening, and the three daughters followed her to busy in the house, Wang En and several sons-in-law accompanied several elders in the family to chat with Wang Xingxi in the courtyard, and Wang En's nephews were unscrupulous in the courtyard, startling the listless thin rooster outside the bullpen.

Wang Xinghai greeted the people in the courtyard with a smile, and Mr. Shao's words overwhelmed him, and after he finished the polite words with the people, he immediately fell into the trouble of contemplation, which seemed extremely unnatural. Of course, the elders didn't notice anything, but Wang Xingxi and Wang En could see that he was hiding something in his heart.

After a few glasses of soju to dilute the distress in his heart for dinner, Wang Xinghai began to recall the purpose of inviting everyone to dinner today. Then he said that Wang En was about to get engaged and married to Shen Bing one by one, of course, the specific time was not explained, and the result will be known tomorrow, no matter how well Mr. Shao cracked it, Wang Xinghai had already decided to go to the dark, and he couldn't let his son's marriage be yellow. He still has confidence in the cattle and the energy of the 800 yuan. The power of soju gave him the courage to find a reason to resist fatalism, which was the occasional word from the local government to break superstition and advocate science. Although he couldn't say why, he went through all the uplifting excuses in his head.

At night, Wang Xinghai didn't tell Ni Fengxia what Mr. Shao told him, no matter what the result was, he planned to hide it, after all, Mr. Shao said a few words that made him very taboo "bad fate" If Ni Fengxia knew it, it would definitely not be calm, so he said a few words to Ni Fengxia that Mr. Shao was very busy and would only get the result tomorrow and fell asleep dazedly.
