After talking to Brother Chao on the phone, I said to Wang Yang: "Brother Chao and the two of them are going here, happy, they have been busy for a long time, let's go downstairs and have a look." ”

Wang Yang stretched and agreed.

Although it is not yet the start time that the old Gu said, there are already many people bustling downstairs, and more than half of the tables and chairs are already occupied.

And the big pot stoves are all in working condition, every pot is full, some stir-fried, some stewed, some fried, next to each pot there are one or two cooks busy at work, the makeshift stage is empty, there is no one, and there are no items.

There are also several aunts next to the stove who are helping to choose vegetables, and they are in a hurry, so it is not lively.

Looking at this scene, Wang Yang suddenly said: "Why don't we go and see what kind of work there is, let's help, the food is already free, let's do something." ”

I felt that what Wang Yang said made sense, so I nodded and walked with her in the direction of those vegetable selection aunts, I can do this job.

Walking up to the aunts, I asked, "Big sisters, do you see anything we can do to help?" ”

A few aunts looked up at me and Wang Yang, but after only one glance, they lowered their heads and went about their own things, as if they didn't hear my question at all.

I turned my head a little embarrassed to look at Wang Yang, Wang Yang looked at me, and then squatted down and said to the aunt closest to us: "Sister, can I help you choose a dish?" ”

The aunt looked at Wang Yang with an unkind expression, and suddenly stretched out the green vegetables in front of Wang Yang and said fiercely: "You choose?" Will you choose? Do you know what it is? ”

The other aunts also looked at me and Wang Yang when they heard the voice, and the strange thing was that they all had disdain in their eyes, which felt as if choosing vegetables was not an ordinary thing, and Wang Yang and I proposed to help them choose dishes, which was simply a very self-defeating behavior.

I pulled Wang Yang up a little puzzled, took her away and whispered to her: "Forget it, let's not interfere, maybe people have some rules, right?" ”

Seeing that Wang Yang was still frowning, I comforted her and said, "Don't mind, don't be unhappy, she is so jealous of you that you are younger and more beautiful than her." ”

Wang Yang shook his head and said, "I'm not angry, I'm thinking about what the eldest sister said, I really haven't seen the dish in her hand." ”

Hearing Wang Yang say this, I looked at the aunt just now.

At this distance, I couldn't see what kind of vegetables she was holding in her hand, but I didn't take it seriously and persuaded Wang Yang: "Whatever, maybe it's the wild vegetables they picked up in the mountains themselves, besides, there are many things you haven't seen." ”

Since I didn't have anything to help, I took Wang Yang to walk around, and when I walked near Wufu, I found that these five adult dolls had been wiped, and they were still so broken, but they were indeed a lot cleaner.

Wang Yang was also very interested in these five broken dolls, and looked carefully in a circle, remembering the reaction of the doorman when I observed Wufu that night, I subconsciously looked around.

Luckily, it's probably because it's still daytime, and no one is paying attention to us.

"A thousand!"

Suddenly I heard a shout, and I turned my head to see that it was Lao Gu.

Greeting Lao Gu, he walked up to me with a frown as if something was wrong, pointed at Wang Yang and asked, "Is this your object?" ”

I was stunned, didn't I tell him last time, Lao Gu has a bad memory?

After thinking about it, I said to Lao Gu again: "It's not Uncle Gu, this colleague from my original unit belongs to buddies, have you forgotten?" Didn't I say bring a friend over in the morning, this is the friend I told you about the smallest meal. ”

Lao Gu nodded clearly, but I don't know why, I always felt that his eyes were particularly unfriendly when he looked at Wang Yang.

Lao Gu soon went to busy with his business, Wang Yang and I walked around for a while, and saw that all the dishes were on the table, and suddenly the mobile phone rang, it was Chen Haobei.

This goods are still thinking about going to my house when they go out, of course, I understand that his real purpose is the Mei sisters downstairs in my house, when I learned that I was already in the courtyard of the community, this goods complained, but still reluctantly went downstairs to find it.

introduced him and Wang Yang to each other, and both of them probably didn't have much interest in each other's type, and they were quite cold to each other, just politely saying hello.

Chen Haobei was still lacking in energy, and at his strong request, Wang Yang and I accompanied him to find a place to sit down, drink water and drink melon seeds, chat and watch the excitement.

After a while, Super Brother Xiaoxi arrived.

Xiao Xi, as usual, smirked when she saw such a lively scene, the net pocket on Brother Chao's head had been removed, only a small piece of gauze was attached to the key position of the wound, and the plaster on his arm had not been removed, and he was hanging on his neck with a bandage.

introduced Brother Chao and Chen Haobei to each other again, Chen Haobei thought that Brother Chao's injury was beaten, and without waiting for others to speak, he said that he wanted to avenge Brother Chao, and the righteous indignation and hatred of the enemy were as if anyone who beat Brother Chao would be his father-killing enemy.

Brother Chao was not familiar with him, and he was not too embarrassed to refute his face, so he let him talk nonsense, and he laughed twice from time to time to show that he heard it and really believed it.

After a while, I saw the Mei sisters coming in from outside the community from a distance, and Chen Haobei, who had been glancing at the main entrance of the community from time to time, hurriedly stood up and waved and shouted: "Hey! Big girl, here! Here! ”

The sisters of the Mei family walked to our side looking for the voice, and Mei Tian'er scolded Chen Haobei with her head and face: "What are you crying about? Are you going crazy? ”

Chen Haobei smiled while wiping the stool and giving up the seat to the sisters, and after the sisters sat down, Mei Tianer asked me: "One thousand, what's the situation?" I said, "Didn't the old man of the property look for you today?" Mei Tianer said: "No, we went out to work early in the morning." ”

As soon as I heard her say this, I told the cause and effect, and after I finished speaking, Mei Tian'er let out a clear sigh, and asked me who are the super brothers? I introduced each other again.

After listening to this, Mei Tian'er talked to Xiaoxi Wang Yang very enthusiastically, her character is estimated to be cold anywhere.

Chen Haobei wanted to talk to Mei Di'er from time to time, but he would be interrupted by Mei Tian'er from time to time, which made him scratch his head depressedly, and his dandruff was scratched by him like a snowflake and fell to the ground or fell on the table, which made Mei Tian'er angry and beat him again.

Gradually, there are more and more people, and some familiar faces have appeared, such as Lan Lan who pulled me into the community QQ group, the strange-tempered couple on the fifth floor and a family of three, and some people who Wufu had met when he first came to the community.

Of course, more often than not, people I don't know at all.

The tables used for the party are all square Eight Immortal Tables, which are equipped with standard benches, and two people sit on a bench, and one table is exactly eight people, so it is called the "Eight Immortals Table".

I sat with Wang Yang, Brother Chao Xiaoxi sat together, the Mei sisters sat together, and Chen Haobei occupied a bench by himself, which seemed domineering and lonely, and a bit of a waste of space.

There were more and more people, and at last there were only three or four tables left unoccupied.

The dishes have been served, Wang Yang deliberately stared at a plate of green vegetables for a long time, I asked her what she was looking at? Wang Yang said that she had really never seen this green vegetable before.

Alas, this girl is so persistent.

In addition to green vegetables, there are also some dishes that I know but are very surprising, such as fried grasshoppers and fried scorpions, I really didn't expect to see this kind of dish at a banquet of this scale, and there is no seafood at the whole table, which is very rare in a place like Marina City, and it can even be said that it is a bit abnormal.

Because of the proximity to the sea, the basic meals of the local aborigines are inseparable from seafood, after all, it is cheap and fresh. But the only thing on our table that can be regarded as a little bit of seafood is a large fish, but it is still a freshwater fish.

"Huh? Why are your tables full of outsiders? ”

Suddenly, a small voice sounded, and I looked up to see that it was a fat aunt who had met a few times, and she was a former resident of the community.

After saying this, she took the initiative to sit down beside Chen Haobei and said with a smile: "How can there be a table of outsiders?" Big sister join you! ”

Chen Haobei was squeezed by the fat aunt and almost flew out of the stool, with a rather loveless expression.

The fat aunt didn't see anything else, and chatted with us with laughter, until the speakers on the stage made a shrill buzzing sound, and she stopped talking, not only that, but she also put her finger to her mouth to make a "shhh

In an instant, the community immediately fell silent, only the voice of a child was left, but it was immediately covered by his adult.

It was the bear kid I'd seen twice before, and the family was not too far from my table.

In addition to signaling us to be quiet, the fat aunt also signaled to let us look at the direction of the stage together, in fact, she didn't need to signal, just listening to the movement knew that someone was going to speak on the stage.

Sure enough, soon Lao Gu took a microphone and walked onto the stage, and after "feeding" the microphone twice, Lao Gu said solemnly: "Folks, good evening!" ”

The audience, including the fat aunt at our table, immediately applauded and let out a "whoop" cry from their mouths, a bit like the cry of some kind of animal, and they all sounded excited.

Lao Gu Void pressed his hand, and the surroundings quieted down again, and then Lao Gu said: "Folks, today is a good day for our reunion, and there are so many new family members, everyone must eat and drink well, and happiness is the most important thing, everyone said, isn't it?" ”

This time, we also applauded together to cooperate with Lao Gu, Lao Gu looked really happy, and his mouth was about to crack when he heard everyone's applause.

After the applause subsided again, Lao Gu said: "Don't talk nonsense, let's eat and drink, I'll let the back prepare and prepare, and the play will start in a while." ”

After saying this, in the applause of everyone, Lao Gu walked off the stage. As soon as he got off the stage, someone began to move tables and chairs to the stage.

In addition to the dishes, there is a large jar of wine on each table, which is a very old clay jar, and the jar is sealed with red paper, which looks like the red of an aged daughter in a costume TV series. However, there are no words or signs on these wine jars.

Chen Haobei stared at Mei Di'er and asked, "Sister, do you have two more cups?" Mei Tianer replied, "Why are you such a girl?" Two cups? Are you rinsing your mouth? Chen Haobei was a little unconvinced and said: "This must be liquor..." Haven't you heard of a big bowl of drinking wine and eating meat? ”

Mei Tianer unceremoniously interrupted Chen Haobei, and then stood up and wanted to reach out for the wine, but the fat aunt took the first step over the wine jar and said, "The person who comes is a guest, and the eldest sister will open wine for you." Mei Tian'er hurriedly said: "Oh, Mom, the eldest sister is so polite." ”

The fat aunt laughed, and said while dismantling the coil on the wine jar: "This wine, you can't buy it outside, it's brewed by ourselves, this brewing method is secret, you look at this mud seal, this is all mixed with good red clay and blood." ”

As she spoke, the fat aunt had already removed the red paper, revealing the top of the altar, a layer of dried mud on the top of the altar, which was dark brown under the light.

The fat aunt didn't dislike it, and directly slapped it twice with her hand, and then buckled off the dry mud that she had cracked one by one, and threw it into the garden grass on the side.

"The wine sealed in this way is fragrant enough, and it can be stored for a long time, and it is good for people's health, come, I will pour it for you."

A strong aroma of wine mixed with an indescribable strange aroma immediately burst out, and Chen Haobei, who was closest to the wine world, closed his eyes and sniffed greedily.

The fat aunt poured him a bowl nearby, and the wine was no longer white, but a yellow color close to beer, but it was obviously much thicker than beer, and you could see that the degree of this wine was definitely not comparable to beer.

"Eldest sister, how many degrees does this wine have?" Mei Tian'er asked, and the fat aunt continued to pour us wine and said, "If this is said according to the degree, that is, thirty or forty degrees, the main thing is that it is good for people's health, come and come, it is full." ”

Until he poured it for Wang Yang, Wang Yang said that he had an upset stomach and wanted to refuse, but the fat aunt said that this wine was very stomach-nourishing, so she poured some for Wang Yang.

At the same time that the wine was full, a few people also came up on the stage, wearing all bells and whistles, and I whispered to Wang Yang: "Hey, Xiyangyang, they have started singing, you can listen to what kind of drama it is." Wang Yang nodded, stared down at a table of dishes, and didn't eat a bite.

There was a sound of gongs and drums beating on the speakers, and soon a male character on the stage with an old student's face painted began to sing.

I had never heard this tune before, and I couldn't understand what he was singing in this tune.

"Sichuan opera is a popular local opera in some areas of Sichuan and Yunnan-Guizhou, and the accent there is very strong, and you must not understand the content." Wang Yang whispered.

I glanced at the fat aunt meaningfully, she was staring intently at the stage, her expression was fascinated, and she couldn't take her eyes off it.

At the end of the song, everyone applauded, and our table also applauded, and the fat aunt with an excited expression raised her glass and said, "Come, have a drink!" ”

Everyone also raised their glasses, the fat aunt drank all the wine in her cup in one gulp, Wang Yang just took a sip, it just meant, I had to put down the glass after half of it, this wine... It's so exciting...
