We were bored and were listening to the horror ghost stories of fat people. Suddenly, the room became dim, and a man in white who was not a ghost or a ghost came in, so frightened that Yue'er exclaimed. I looked up at the electric light on the roof of the house, and it turned out that the bulb was broken, so I asked the fat man to step on the stool and change it to a new one, and the shop suddenly lit up.

I saw the fat man looking at the visitor with a bored face, and knew in my heart that he hated this kind of sissy man the most, and was afraid that he would say the wrong thing and cause trouble, so he hurriedly said: "Does this young master plan to "entrust things" (the stranger will accept some difficult and miscellaneous matters), or "put away" (referring to buying and selling antiques). ”

The oil-headed man didn't speak, and pointed the fan in his hand to the glass counter. It turned out that he came to Yugui, and since there was a fat sheep sent to the door, I planned to slaughter him well, and immediately praised with a smile: "The master really has a vision, this is a good thing." The spring and autumn ancient jade that has just come out of the pot is hot, and I will show it to you. ”

As soon as the man put away the fan, he said directly, "Master wants it, wrap it up." The voice was just like the eunuchs in the palace in ancient times, the tone was sharp and high, and the ears stood on end, and goosebumps rose all over the body.

Yue'er, who was watching the excitement on the side, heard the voice of the male duck who came, and laughed out loud. The fat man stepped forward happily, with the face of a profiteer, and said flatteringly: "This young master is full of luxury, just walked in the door, the small shop was suddenly full of brilliance, I knew that the nobleman came, the young master must not be an ordinary person, dare to ask how to call the famous name." ”

The oil-headed man replied: "The master's surname is Bai." And he said nothing.

The fat man nodded and said to the man surnamed Bai: "Bai Ye is too discerning, you see this jade gui, the carving is exquisite, it is old, it is still something used by the emperor, it is absolutely unparalleled in the world, such a rare good thing, what price are you going to give?" ”

The man surnamed Bai didn't speak, he took out a check from his sleeve and handed it to the fat man. The fat man took it, counted the zeros for a long time, and then handed it to me without hiding his joy. I glanced at it, and it turned out to be a million check, and I didn't say anything, I immediately put it directly in my pocket, quickly packed Yugui, handed it to the man surnamed Bai and said to him, "Master, take it." The joy blossomed in his heart, and he almost kissed the man surnamed Bai in front of him excitedly. I originally thought that this thing would be worth four or five hundred thousand at most, but I didn't expect it to sell for more than twice the price.

The man surnamed Bai took Yugui, glanced at me and the fat man, and twisted out the door without looking back.

The fat man shouted at the man's figure: "Bai Ye go slowly, welcome to come next time." Sending away the man surnamed Bai, I quickly took out the check again, hugged the fat man excitedly, jumped excitedly, and Yue'er next to him said shamelessly: "Seeing the money, the vulgar is unbearable." Have you had enough fun, hurry out and find a place to eat, I'm dying of hunger. ”

The fat man said to Yue'er unconvinced: "What do you know about your daughter." People are poor, short-minded, thin-haired, and have never been hungry, so they know the preciousness of food. ”

I waved the check and said, "Stop arguing, let's go, and head to Din Tai Fung." ”

On the road, Yue'er couldn't help but play with the treasure, the orchid stretched out her finger, and the man surnamed Bai spoke, "The grandfather's surname is Bai Xiaobai's face is white." "It made me and the fat man laugh and leaned back with joy. After laughing, I felt that the little white master was a little familiar, but I just couldn't remember where I had seen it. So he asked the fat man, "Do you think that the man surnamed Bai is a little familiar, as if he has seen it somewhere?" ”

The fat man stopped laughing and said: "How is it possible, fat man, I have the ability to never forget, I dare to pack tickets, I really have met a person as distinctive as him." After saying that, he and Yue'er giggled and made a mess.

I think about it, too, a person as unique as a man with the surname Bai is absolutely unforgettable at a glance. However, there is a pimple in my heart, which makes people feel a little nostalgic. This man surnamed Bai is too happy to buy things, and he doesn't inspect the goods. Although it is said that Yishiju is a golden sign Tongsuo, it is very rare for a guest like him to be generous and happy. Without waiting for me to think about it, we had arrived at the restaurant in a blink of an eye, and immediately ordered a table of dishes after taking a seat, and the three of them threw off their cheeks and ate and drank nonsense. After he was full of wine and food, the fat man picked his teeth and said to me, "Lao Zheng! Now that we have money, how do you want to spend it? ”

I burped contentedly, and then said to him, "We don't know what we're going to do, and I don't know when I'm going to be back." The things are sold, and the store doesn't need to be taken care of anymore, so I think it's better for the two of us to go back to our hometown in the northeast, see the villagers, and donate some money to the village by the way, build a primary school, and forget my heart. ”

The fat man nodded, and said excitedly: "Kaichun is just right to go up the mountain to hunt hares, maybe you can even hit roe deer, I can't sit still when I think about it." ”

Recalling the bits and pieces of my hometown, I was also full of anticipation, and said to him excitedly: "Go back and pack your luggage now, go to the bank tomorrow morning to clear the check, and we will leave in the afternoon." ”

Yue'er next to her was not happy when she heard this, and pouted and said, "Why don't you take me?" I'm going too. ”

The fat man glared when he heard this, and said to Yue'er: "If I don't take you, you are chattering all day long, it's too annoying, it's rare to have a chance to hide from Qingjing." ”

The next morning, Yue'er set off with us. I really couldn't stand her soft grinding and hard foaming skills, not only with her, but also with Xiao Yue'er. Because we didn't go to the inverted bucket, we casually left a note for the master to inform us of our itinerary, and we set off directly with light travel.

Along the way, we changed to various vehicles non-stop, and finally hired a tractor, and bumped on the bumpy dirt road for nearly an hour before pulling us to the entrance of the village, and when we got out of the car, we felt like we had just come down from the trampoline, and the soles of our feet were unstable.

The northeast climate at the beginning of spring is still cold and windy, and the snot of the moon is so cold that it flows out. The fat man and I gave the car money, so we went straight to the supply and marketing cooperatives in the village and bought a lot of canned biscuits and candies as a meeting gift for the villagers.

When the villagers heard that we were coming, a large group of people stood in several columns in the middle of the village waiting to greet us. The fat man said to me: "Lao Zheng, isn't the person at the front of this station the leper who bullied us every day when we were children?" "The leper is surnamed Lai, when he was a child, he was stupid and stupid and very simple, I and the fat man tricked him into poking the hornet's nest, so that he was almost not stung by the hornet, but after he was deceived, he still ran behind me and the fat man's ass every day, how to catch up and couldn't drive away, we also gave him a nickname called "leper head", bullied him every day to play, who let me and the fat man have a bad stomach since childhood, especially naughty, when there is no honest, the mad dog saw us both have to hide out two miles.

I tilted my head, covered my mouth with my hand, lowered my voice and said to the fat man: "You be quiet, when you get to someone's one-third of an acre, don't let him hear it, or he won't have to retaliate against the two of us." When we were muttering quietly, the leper had already rushed over, suddenly took me and the fat man in his arms, choked and said, "After so many years, you two don't go back to the village to see, I thought you two died outside, and the people in the village want to kill you both." ”

The water of the hometown is sweet, and the people of the hometown are pro. The fat man and I saw that the leper was so enthusiastic, and the tears in our noses couldn't help but fall, thinking back on the ups and downs of these years, the three of us hugged and cried. At this time, Yue'er, who didn't know the current affairs, muttered beside her: "A group of big men, don't you want to be so sensational." I'm going to freeze to death, go into the house, and then cry again. ”

The leper wiped his tears with his sleeve and said, "I forgot to see that I was excited, go into the house to warm up, I will freeze along the way!" The meals are all ready, and there is something to talk about while eating. The villagers behind the leper greeted us warmly and hugged us to the village.

On the way, the leper quietly grabbed my sleeve, pointed to Yue'er and asked me, "Who is this beautiful girl?" ”

I glanced at Yue'er, and then replied quietly with a wicked smile: "It's the fat man's good looks, the person is good, but the temper is a little bigger, and the fat man is afraid that she will be scared." ”

The leper looked at the fat man with deep sympathy, and I forced myself to laugh, almost holding back the internal injuries.

The capital is now upstairs and downstairs electric lights and telephones, and here, there are even adobe houses with kerosene lamps. The fat man and I sat on the kang and distributed the things we bought at the supply and marketing cooperatives to the children in the village, and then took out 500,000 yuan and stuffed them into the leper boss and said, "This is a little bit of our heart, for the village baby to build a school." The rest can be used to build fish ponds or run chicken farms as side businesses, so that everyone in the village can make a fortune. ”

The leper inherited his father's position and became the village chief, and the old village chief Lai Lao, who was not in good physical condition, retired early. Recalling that at the beginning, when I was a child, the fat man and I were naughty, not to mention how naughty we were, secretly drank the wine of the old man Lai, and urinated in the wine jug, the old man Lai was so angry that he smoked and chased us all over the village with a broom. At that time, he was still at a healthy age, flowers bloomed and things changed, and in the blink of an eye, there was no longer anything left, and there was inevitably no sigh left in his heart.

I got married early in the countryside, and the sons of the leper were already in their teens, and they called us uncles. I thought to myself: this is a promotion, I still feel very young!

The leper head is in full swing Zhang Luo on the hot kang on the dining table, some people are constantly serving, there are sticky bean buns that I miss the most, mushroom stewed chicken, pickled bitter mother-in-law Ding (mother-in-law: is the bud when the dandelion has not yet bloomed, edible, Northeast people use it to dip it in the sauce and eat it raw, or make tea after drying, it has the effect of going to liver fire. ), fried golden eggs, and refreshing and appetizing sauerkraut and pork stewed vermicelli, made a large table full of dishes, and Yue'er swallowed saliva when she saw it. According to the rules of the rural areas of Northeast China, the old men must eat at the table first, and the women must wait for the men to finish eating before they can eat with the children. Yue'er is the exception of the guests, and the rest of the table is filled with me and the fat man's hair small, when I was a child, we peed and played with mud together.

Northeast people drink too much, use the bowl directly, lift the bowl to dry, and don't see the bottom. And he was very enthusiastic, this one had just put down the bowl, and the other had already raised the bowl early and was waiting for a toast, they were all the same playmates, if you didn't drink the wine he poured, you would look down on him and not give him face. As a result, before a few bites of the dish were eaten, someone had already gone under the table.

The fat man sitting next to me, with a big tongue, kept grabbing the person next to him, clamoring for someone to help introduce him to someone. The leper man drank high, pulled the fat man and said, "Brother, don't you have a master?" It's not good to stay in the big city, and with some money, I learned the landlord's old man's set. ”

When I heard it next to me, the food I was chewing in my mouth almost didn't spray on the table, so I hurriedly interrupted and said with a wistful face: "Why didn't you see it, the fat man peeked at the village flowers taking a bath when he was a child?" ”

As soon as the words fell, the person sitting next to me answered, "Why didn't you see me?" Just now, it was Erya who kept serving food in and out, and now she is the wife of the village chief. ”

I thought back to myself, the fat woman with the bucket waist who kept coming in just now was the village flower who fascinated all living beings back then! I can't help but sigh that the years are a ruthless pig-killing knife! The fat man drank high, and when he heard the word "village flower" next to him, he shouted to call Erya to drink. The leper pat the fat man on the shoulder and said to him, "Brother, Erya is my person now, so don't worry about it anymore." is still optimistic about his own people, Miss Yue'er is so beautiful, there are many handsome guys in the village, don't ask others to abduct them. ”

After listening to the leper leader's words, I secretly complained in my heart, how could I turn around and back just now when I wanted to divert the topic. I didn't save it, I was worried that Yue'er would hear it, so I secretly glanced at her, and saw that she was burying her head in a struggle with the dishes on the table, as if she didn't hear it, so I was a lot more relieved.

As a result, Yue'er probably felt my gaze, raised her head and swallowed the food in her mouth hard, and then said to me: "I heard it outside just now, this girl is because of her enthusiastic fellow, so she doesn't care about you generally." ”

I hurriedly smiled, clasped my hands into fists and said, "Miss Yue'er is the prime minister who can take a boat in her belly, and there are a lot of adults, so she won't care about me as a villain." ”

The dark night, in the wine and food and the warm nostalgia, quietly drove by.
