Some people prefer to be alone, and some people are used to being noisy in a group.

The news of Li Youbin's return spread quite quickly.

He's a guy who likes to be lively.

There are several playmates in the same village who have played from childhood to adulthood, but they are quite far apart, Li Youbin's house is at this end of the village, their family is at the end of the village, and there is one at the top of the village.

Li Youbin was still a little surprised when they met.

"Brother Bao Xiaolong, you two are quite fast."

Brother Bao and Xiaolong are cousins, both in the west of the village, and Xiaolong's family is above Baoming's house.

The whole village of Lijia Village is surnamed Li, and it can only be found out what the full names of the two are, Brother Bao's name is Li Baoming, and Xiaolong is powerful, called Bruce Lee.

When playing together, I also tried to tease: Bruce Lee, why can't you fight at all?

"That's not it, can you be happy when you come, I haven't seen you for more than half a year." Li Baoming looked at Li Youbin with a smile.

He has small eyes, a lot of flesh on his face, a big beer belly, and a smile like Maitreya Buddha.

When he came, he was not empty-handed, carrying two bottles of wine. The wine is jar, not bought, home-brewed.

When he saw the things in his hand, Li Youbin knew that he couldn't escape today, but when he looked at the cloth strip sealed by the jar, he was also very greedy, and sighed in his heart: I haven't drunk the wine made by the people in the village for a long time.

"Let's go, then, and sit in the house."

It is a habit in the village to be a guest, no matter who comes, it is a guest, even if it is the leader of a village.

The guests come to entertain, send the guests to the kang, set up the kang table, add some coal to the stove at the kang head, put the tea cans on it, and then prepare some meat and cold dishes from the kitchen, which is considered to be the end of the process.

I don't know how people in other places drink tea, maybe most southerners drink tea, and most northerners should be the same as Li Youbin and them, drinking "boiled tea".

The so-called boiling tea is to boil dried fruits such as longan jujube and tea leaves together, drink while boiling, pour and drink when the water is boiling, and then add water, and so on.

The name of a thing and a place is different from that of other places, for example, this boiled tea, there is another name in Li Youbin's house, called "stewed tea", which may also be a difference in dialect. The literal meaning is almost the same, it's all soaked in boiling water.

That's why when people come here and come to the guests, the mothers will say something like this: "You stew the tea, and I'll go and prepare the food."

When I arrived at Li Youbin, it was a little different.

As soon as Li Youbin's father came back, he hurriedly ran to play cards, and only his grandmother was left at home.

Grandma also wanted to greet a few young men, climbed up from the kang in the side room, but was stopped by Li Youbin, he felt that he could take care of himself, grandma is also in her seventies, and her legs and feet are not good.

Baoming Xiaolong also hurriedly helped the old lady to prevent her from coming down, they are all posteriors, and it is really inappropriate to let the elders of the two generations cook.

The old lady didn't insist, she sat behind the kang and said with a smile: "That Youbin entertained Baoming Xiaolong, don't treat others badly, I only come here a few times a year."

"Grandma, I understand, you can rest assured."

"Haha, good, good"

The old man is old and a little forgetful, but it is also a good thing, whether it is good or bad, he can't remember, and he is always happy all day, which is not bad.

After Li Youbin stewed tea, he went to the kitchen to cut some pig's head meat, stewed two pork ribs from the refrigerator, and served some cold dishes to serve as an appetizer.

When he went to the kang, Li Baoming and the brothers had already poured the wine.

The people here drink differently from other places, and they are somewhat similar to the Inner Mongolian people, but they are not like them.

Most places drink with a deck of playing cards, and when you lose, it's different here, sometimes it's dry, sometimes it's punching.

Northeast people drink big bowls, look heroic, and have a happy picture. Gansu people drink and punch, the sound is loud, and the picture is lively.

A few people gathered at the table to make fists, and in the middle of the night, the sound came far away, and the barking of the dogs in the village could not stop. Of course, this is also the punch of the older generation.

The younger ones also make punches, but they are much more elegant, their voices are much quieter, and they occasionally roar twice when they are drunk, and most of the time they still keep their voices very low.

I don't like this when I drink with Li Youbin and Li Baoming, they are famous in the village for being able to drink.

Other people are boxing just to grind time, they are different, Li Baoming doesn't like boxing, Li Youbin doesn't know boxing, and he's too lazy to learn, in his eyes, drinking is drinking, and boxing is simply wasting time drinking.

Coincidentally, Li Baoming also thinks so, these two people get together but it hurts Bruce Lee, he is not as good as the two of them, if he drinks dryly, it will be enough for him.

If you can't drink it, the two of them don't pour it hard, in their eyes, they can drink it if they can, and if they can't drink it, they can't drink it, there's nothing to be forced.

"When did you come back?" Li Youbin picked up the teapot and poured a cup of tea by himself.

"I just came back a few days ago, Xiaolong came back early, and he has been at home for half a month." Li Baoming took out the cigarette case from the table and lit it.

"Why is Xiaolong so early?" After filling the teapot with water and setting it on fire, Li Youbin looked at Bruce Lee again.

"We came early and left early, and we guess we have to go to school after fifteen."

"Can't even pass fifteen? That's a bit early. ”

"Alas, don't mention it, when I was in high school, I started early every year, and I thought that I could go to school after fifteen this year, it seems that I still think too much." Bruce Lee took a mouthful of food and put it in his mouth.

"When are you going to start school?" Li Baoming asked Li Youbin.

"We're late, the New Year should be almost over." Li Youbin took a sip of tea, "What about you?" ”

"We're pretty much the same."

"By the way, is the majesty coming?"

Li Xiongwei is the first fat man in the village, although he only played with them when he was almost in high school, but he has a good personality, and he can play with a few people, which is quite funny.

"I didn't come, I said I wouldn't come back until the day after tomorrow."

Lijia Village is like this, you can't see people on weekdays, and there are few people during the holidays.

There is a reason for the lack of people, Lijia Village is a key village for poverty alleviation, every family grows medicinal materials, the economy has advanced by leaps and bounds in a few years, there are more rich people all of a sudden, people have money to buy a house in the city, leaving some people to take care of medicinal materials, and the rest of the people have moved out, usually do not come back, come back during the New Year.

When the Chinese New Year was approaching, the village was a little angry, and those who should have come back and those who shouldn't have come back have returned.

How could there be someone who shouldn't have come back? There is a genealogy in the village, and all the people in Lijia Village, as long as they don't do anything hurtful to nature, they just move out, and they are still people in the village.

But if something happens, the name will be ticked off on the family tree, and this is not the people of Lijia Village, and this part of the people should not come back.

Culture is regional, and there are many traditional cultures in China, but genealogies, genealogies, and the like should be shared.
