Chapter 16: The Sound of Mahjong in the Middle of the Night (I)
At that moment, I was about to open the door, the middle-aged man behind Mo Qianxue coughed in a low voice, grabbed my arm, and said with a smile: "Little brother, you haven't had dinner yet, let's go, uncle invites you to eat in the town." ”
I glanced at the middle-aged man, and I didn't refuse, since my senior brother and Wei Dezhen left, dinner has become a problem for me, and instant noodles are usually used to solve the problem.
Now, if I can go to a small restaurant in the town to eat, I naturally won't refuse, so I followed them outside without saying a word.
I don't know if the middle-aged man is hinting at me, or what's the matter, the place where he led me happened to be where Zi Yangtao ate before.
When I arrived at the hotel, it was not big, that is, about 20 square meters, and there were several tables of guests pushing glasses to each other, shouting five and six.
Speaking of this restaurant, it may be because of the small town, in fact, it is almost the same as home, but, because the society can now be fed and clothed, people have become lazy, and they don't want to cook at home, plus the consumption of this small restaurant is not expensive, many people in our town love to eat here.
As soon as the middle-aged man entered the door, he said to the boss, "Find a private room!" ”
The boss led him to the box, the three of us sat down, the middle-aged man ordered a few dishes, and asked the boss to carry a few bottles of beer, a bottle of drink, I said don't drink, just drink a drink, the middle-aged man said, the drink is for Mo Qianxue to drink, and I, as a ghost craftsman, how can I not drink.
When I thought about it, I was right, I didn't smoke at the beginning, so didn't I also call my brother a living church.
Soon, the boss brought a few beers and a few cups on the table, and said that the store was a little busy today, and the service might be delayed, in order to apologize, the boss sent us two beers, I counted them, and the middle-aged man bought, almost eight bottles of beer.
After the boss left, the middle-aged man first poured me a glass of beer and said, "Little brother, it was my fault for the first time, and I apologize to you for these three glasses of wine." ”
As he spoke, he poured himself three glasses in a row, and when he reached the last one, he raised his glass and touched it with me.
It was the first time I drank at that time, but I also knew some of the culture in wine, and he drank three glasses in a row to apologize to me, and I didn't mean anything, so I took the glass and drank with him.
After a glass of wine, I just put down the glass, the middle-aged man took out a cigarette and handed it over, saying, "I heard Xue'er say that you smoke, I don't know what to give you, a little careful, and I hope the little brother will smile." ”
I took the cigarette and took a look, good guy, and the world, this cigarette is the most expensive in our Hunan area, it has to be one hundred and one packs, someone used to ask the senior brother to do things, and the gifts were all packs and packs, but I didn't expect this guy to send the whole one.
As the saying goes, the heavier the courtesy, the more difficult it must be, I didn't dare to take it, handed over the cigarette, and said with a smile: "Uncle, your gift is too heavy, the kid doesn't dare to accept it, it's better to talk about your business first." ”
When I say this, I am implying to him that if I can handle the affairs of your family, I will accept this cigarette, if I can't handle it, then I'm sorry, I can't accept this cigarette.
This is the rule of our ghost craftsman, if you accept money from people and other things, you must help the owner get things done, you can't just accept gifts, don't do the facts, it will break the rules.
The middle-aged man obviously saw what I meant, smiled, and said, "It's okay, this little gift is a meeting gift from me to my little brother, and it can be regarded as a good fate." ”
I frowned, this situation is a little wrong, in the morning, this middle-aged man asked Mo Qianxue to come to me, and he vaguely felt reluctant to give gifts, and now as soon as he made a move, it was a matter of one and the world, and the two seemed to be contradictory.
I nodded, didn't refuse, took the cigarette, put it aside, and said with a smile: "Listen to Mo Xiaohua, your house is haunted?" I'm afraid it's a bit tricky. ”
The reason why I said that the three words Mo Xiaohua were implying that Mo Qianxue knew that she was making an obstacle to the beating of the school, which meant that she had to apologize to me, otherwise, even if I accepted the cigarettes, I might not be able to do anything for you.
To say that the middle-aged man is also a talent, he must have studied our ghost craftsman, otherwise, he would definitely not be able to hear the meaning of this.
However, the middle-aged man obviously heard it, and without saying a word, he took out a red envelope and handed it to me, saying, "This is 500 yuan, which is my medical expenses for my little brother." ”
I was not polite, I took the red envelope, stuffed it into my pocket, and glanced at Mo Qianxue again, and saw Mo Qianxue pouting, and said to the middle-aged man, "Uncle, what are you doing here, he is also a bullied person in our school, why are you so polite to him." ”
The middle-aged man stopped and said to Mo Qianxue, you are still young and don't understand what is going on, so he looked at me with a smile on his face and said with a smile: "Little brother, I don't know if you are still dissatisfied, just bring it up." ”
I smiled awkwardly, as the so-called, people respect me a foot, I am also a foot, he said so, I am embarrassed to make things difficult, more importantly, I am not sure if the two of them saw me knocking on Ziyangtao's stuffy stick, so they said: "Eat without speaking, sleep without speaking, after eating, go to the coffin shop to talk in detail." ”
As soon as the words fell, the middle-aged man's face relaxed, and he said thank you to me, and stopped talking.
After drinking and eating, my head was a little dizzy because I had drunk a little too much beer, but fortunately I was still conscious, so I led them back to the coffin shop, invited them to the second floor, and went directly to the study where my brother usually confessed to guests.
I first asked them to sit in the study for a while, and then I went to the bathroom and washed my face with cold water.
Back in the study, I sat down across from the two of them and asked, "Tell me about your family." ”
When the middle-aged man heard my question, he looked stunned, and hurriedly told me that his surname was Li, his name was Chengze, and he was Mo Qianxue's third uncle, who opened a trading company in Guangzhou, and his family was quite wealthy, and he was also the owner of a car and a house in Guangzhou.
He has lived a good life, and naturally he will not forget his ancestors, so he invited a group of craftsmen to renovate the house in his hometown in June this year, and it cost about 100,000 yuan before and after.
According to the local rules, whenever a new house is built, there must be a housewarming ceremony, and in the housewarming ceremony, there is a warm fire, which means, let the new house lively, don't get cold, in fact, it is an auspicious picture, which means that the new house is prosperous and full of children and grandchildren.
Although Li Chengze said that he was in Guangzhou all year round, he went out here after all, and the customs that should be paid attention to should still be paid attention to, so he invited a group of relatives to his new house to help warm the fire, and the beginning of his family's problems began with this warm fire.
