Chapter 57: Family Dinner

At the straight dinner table, Master Hu sat in the first place, and the people sitting on both sides were all members of the Hu family, and Hu Chen was also among them. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Old Man Hu doesn't move chopsticks, and the Hu family doesn't know how to eat with chopsticks.

"You all know about the third child, take this opportunity to eat, let's talk about the third child first." Old Man Hu said solemnly, and everyone stared with bated breath.

"Dad, what's going on with the third brother? Why did it become like this, among our brothers, except for the eldest brother, only the third brother has the highest Taoism. "It was Lao Wu who spoke, Hu Dahai.

"Old Five, listen to what I've said." The old man interrupted Hu Dahai and continued: "Now, the town guard of Ningzhou City is missing, the third child is like this, it is impossible to guard Ningzhou City before the injury is healed, but our family is now understaffed, plus the juniors are going to Longhu Mountain for further study, you can see who will replace the third child for a period of time." ”

There are six counties under the banner of Ningzhou City, and there are only a few people who can move the nine members of the Hu family, which is far from enough, if it is not for the cooperation of the Huang family, it is impossible to come over to guard it.

"Dad, or leave it to me." Lao Liuhu Changjun said.

Old Man Hu shook his head, sighed and said, "Sixth, you have already guarded two county seats, and you are very busy every day, you can't do it." ”

"What then?" **Quan spread his hands and said, "It's all my fault, if I don't look like this, I can help the third brother." ”

"Dad, let me say a fair word." The boss Hu Jianghe stood up, looked at everyone and continued: "It's better than Ningzhou City, let Hu Chen cooperate with the Huang family to temporarily guard." ”

As soon as these words came out, the audience was in an uproar, ** Quan was the first to disagree, he immediately slapped the case and said loudly: "Big brother, what did you say, Chenchen is still a child, and he is just an intern ghost detective, how important it is to guard the city, you know better than me!" This is too risky, rather than letting the dust guard, it is better to leave it to the Huang family to take care of it. ”

Lao Qihu Shuangshuang and Lao Bahu Niannian are both girls in their twenties, the two of them are twins, perhaps because of their age, but the two support Hu Jianghe's proposal.

"Be quiet!" The old man interrupted everyone's discussion.

Turning his head to Hu Chen, the old man lost his eyes and said: "Boss, your proposal is very bad, Chenchen is not competent, I don't agree with him becoming a ghost detective, if it weren't for the third child to say all the good things, I wouldn't agree." ”

Hearing this, Hu Chen stopped talking, and his grandfather finally said his innermost thoughts, and he couldn't help but feel a little depressed.

"But Dad." Hu Jianghe immediately said: "Chenchen's talent proves that he is suitable to be a ghost detective, and our Hu family has been a ghost detective for generations......"

"Shut up!" The old man shouted angrily, causing silence in the room.

"There is no shortage of ghost detectives in our Hu family, there are a lot of less dust, and there are not many more dusty ones, he is an intern ghost detective, just help you super super ghosts!"

The old man's tone was serious and sharp, and no one dared to refute it, but Ho Chi Minh looked back at Hu Chen, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a smug smile.

"I'll go." Hu Meng'er suddenly stood up and immediately became the focus of the audience.

No one expected that Hu Meng'er would volunteer, and even Hu Chen was taken aback.

Hu Meng'er, as the eldest of the younger generation, and has also been practicing Taoism for 30 years, is sufficient to cooperate with the Huang family to guard the urban area, I am afraid that she is not experienced enough and will suffer a big loss.

"Meng'er, you juniors are going to Longhu Mountain for further study, and your third uncle will recover after two months, and he will still have to go back then."

"Since it's two months, let's hand it over to the Huang family, our family's current manpower is really insufficient." Lao Jiuhu Menting proposed.

After discussing for a long time, there was no satisfactory result, so Mr. Hu simply beckoned everyone to dinner.

After the meal, the invited workers cleaned up the table, and the family meeting continued.

"The list of going to Longhu Mountain for further study this time, boss, you can read it." The old man sat upright, and Hu Jianghe stood up and took out a list.

"There are seven people in total, Hu Meng'er, Ho Chi Minh, Hu Zhiyuan, Hu Xiaochuang, Hu Shuangshuang, Hu Niannian, and Hu Menting." After reading it, Hu Jianghe looked at Hu Chen and sighed and sat on the chair.

Although Hu Chen had expected it, he didn't hear his name, so he was still disappointed and bowed his head silently.

"Shuangshuang Niannian, this is the second time you two have gone to Longhu Mountain, this time you must work hard and take care of these children more." The old man said with a smile.

The two of them nodded one after another, but they both turned their eyes to Hu Chen and motioned to Old Man Hu.

"You don't have to go, just stay at home this summer, go back to the city after school starts, and go to school hard."

Old Man Hu naturally knew that Hu Chen was unhappy, but he had seen the wind and waves, and he didn't pay attention to these at all, and left after explaining.

The rest of the people also left, and soon, only the juniors of the Hu family were left.

"Brother Chen, why didn't Grandpa let you go to Longhu Mountain?" Hu Aiguo is the son of Hu Changjun, seven years old this year, he has fingers in his mouth, and his big dripping eyes are spinning.

Hu Chen didn't speak, and was about to leave, but a treacherous laugh came from behind him: "Brother Chen, don't worry, I will definitely study with you." ”

Naturally, it was Ho Chi Minh who spoke, Hu Meng'er immediately looked back at him, and said dissatisfiedly: "He can't go, are you still gloating?" ”

"Sister Meng'er, I didn't gloat, is there anything wrong with what I said?" Ho Chi Minh laughed, in a good mood, waved his hand to his younger siblings and said, "Let's go, my brother will buy you snacks to eat." ”

After a burst of footsteps, the room fell silent, Hu Meng'er frowned and said to Hu Chen, "I'll go find grandpa." ”

"What are you looking for grandpa?" Hu Chen asked.

"Of course, I begged grandpa to let you go to Longhu Mountain, I really don't know what grandpa thinks, I let you sit as an intern ghost detective, why don't you let you further your studies, why do you just think it's good to let you catch ghosts!" Hu Meng'er was indignant.

Walking to his room, when passing by the residence of ** Quan, Hu Chen suddenly heard the reprimand in the courtyard.

"Zhiyuan, why don't you let me worry about it like this? Can you learn from your brother? Your brother is so smart and so hardworking, what about you? You're so stupid and don't you want to study? Can't even remember the scriptures of excess? What will you do with next year's assessment? Izumi's voice was loud and stern.

Secretly glancing towards the courtyard, Hu Zhiyuan stood in front of ** Quan with his head bowed, not daring to say a word.

"Memorize, if you can't recite this transcendent scripture today, I will punish you for not eating tonight, do you hear!"

Ghost Detective Diary: Festivals also evolved from eating and gatherings, probably because the ancients wanted to find a reason to be happy and eat and drink, so there were festivals.
