Marriage is very simple in the countryside. The man who officiates at the wedding often asks the bride and groom to bow three times and bow nine times before they can move the food and drinks at the banquet. Whether the wedding is lively or not, the most important thing is naturally the eating and drinking scene. After all, the countryside is poor, and it is everyone's hope that whoever gets married can have a good meal and drink.

Xu Dazhu and Fan Wei, who are Xu Wei's relatives, sit at the main table, and Tan Shitong and Tan Youlin naturally sit at the main table because of their noble status, so this seemingly happy main table is actually a turbulent undercurrent. Who could have known that just yesterday, this Tan Shitong Tan Mayor was forced to greet his son? And Fan Wei, the culprit of all this, is still sitting opposite the two of them leisurely drinking hot tea.

The lively wedding was in progress, the groom sent the bride into the room to change her clothes and came out to accept the warm applause and hospitality of the big guy, the wine was poured into the stomach as if it was dying, and the frightened Fan Wei whispered to Xu Wei beside him, "Xu Wei, you ...... So why get married in the northern countryside, must you drink like this? ”

Xu Wei glanced at Fan Wei, nodded with a flat face, "It's usually like this, what?" ”

"No, nothing...... I can only say that you northerners are really good drinkers, and I am willing to bow down...... Admire, admire......" Fan Wei had to accept with his pitiful hands clenched into fists, because his wine yesterday was still churning in his stomach.

Xu Dazhu and Tan Shitong sat together, he smiled and saluted Tan Shitong's bowl of wine, facing such a noisy environment, he still whispered a little, "Mayor Tan, you came to Xufang Village this time, not just to attend my son's wedding, right?" Is there something you want to explain? ”

Tan Shitong wiped his beard after drinking, and roared extremely comfortably after swallowing the wine. After hearing Xu Dazhu's whispered inquiry, he smiled and said, "Brother Xu really deserves to be a figure in Xufang Village, I have known you for so many years and have known you for a long time, so I won't go around the pass." I heard that you went to the Tanfang Town Police Station early this morning to report the case, saying that it was ...... Say your brother is missing, right? ”

"Yes, there is such a thing, what? The police station will not let you report the disappearance? Xu Dazhu was a little strange, Tan Shitong asked what he was doing about this, and couldn't help but wonder, "Is it that the police station doesn't accept missing cases?" If you don't pick it up, we'll go and withdraw tomorrow, so let's find it ourselves. ”

"No, no, no, I didn't mean that, not only did I mean that, but I still came to support you." After Tan Shitong took a bite of food, he talked eloquently, "Lao Xu, I have been in a relationship with you for many years, although I ...... Although your daughter and my son are not destined to be together, our relationship is still there, isn't it? You said that there are fewer people in your family, why can't I ignore it? So the police told me about it, and I immediately asked them to send police to investigate. ”

"Oh, this is a good feeling, if I can find my brother, then Mayor Tan is also my benefactor Xu Dazhu." When Xu Dazhu heard this, he immediately nodded happily, "Mayor Tan is out of the horse, there is nothing else that can't be done in this Tanfang Town!" ”

Listening to Xu Dazhu's words, Tan Shitong was happy not long ago, and his face instantly became a little unnatural. Why? Because he saw his son beside him, didn't Xu Dazhu say that he couldn't do anything in Tan Fang? But his own son's marriage didn't happen. I really don't know if this Xu Dazhu is deliberately sarcastic about him, or if he really didn't mean to say this.

It's just intentional or not, Tan Shitong doesn't care too much. He laughed a few times with some embarrassment, "I said Lao Xu, don't be in a hurry to thank you first, I can only say that I can help you as much as I can, but whether you can find it or not is not up to me." It's good that I'm the mayor of the town, but there are still a lot of unexpected things that happen in this Tanfang Town, Mr. Fan, what do you say? ”

Fan Wei was eating with vegetables, and when he saw Tan Shitong accidentally mentioning himself, he couldn't help but look up at him, and said with a smile, "Mayor Tan, what does this have to do with me?" Tanfang Town, that's your world, I'm just an outsider, I'll leave in a few days, as long as you don't come to disturb my tranquility, even if there is trouble here, it's none of my business? ”

"Look, Mr. Fan can still speak, right?" Tan Shitong was undoubtedly very satisfied when he heard Fan Wei's position that it was not about him, he patted Xu Dazhu's shoulder, and said earnestly, "Old Xu, I also regret your brother's matter, how could you say that this good person would disappear for no reason?" If you can't find this, how can your son and wife live? ”

"Isn't this the reason, the life of the fourth child in my family was quite poor and difficult, and it would be even more difficult for him to suddenly disappear as a laborer and leave an orphan and widow." Xu Dazhu shook his head with a helpless face, "Now I hope that the fourth child can find it soon, so that my mood will be better." ”

Tan Shitong frowned slightly when he heard Xu Dazhu's words, and then suddenly stretched out his hand and pointed to the middle-aged man in a suit sitting next to his son Tan Youlin and said, "Old Xu, let me introduce to you, this is Lao Shan, a businessman from Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and he is the owner of Xifengshan Coal Mine, that is, the boss." Lao Shan was very concerned when he heard that your brother disappeared mysteriously after work, so he came with me to learn about the situation with you, and he also decided that since your brother is a miner in the mine, he is considered his hired worker, and his missing mine must also make some corresponding compensation. Lao Shan, let's talk about it. ”

As soon as Tan Shitong said this, the middle-aged man named Lao Shan, whose face was relatively thin and had a thick hemorrhoid under his eye, immediately answered, squinted and smiled, "Hello Mr. Xu, I am the owner of the Xifengshan Coal Mine, since I learned from Mayor Tan that he and you are very good friends, and your younger brother works in my mine, although he disappeared after work, but I think I should still pay some responsibility, at least he is still my worker." So I decided to give your brother's family a subsidy of 100,000 yuan, and promised that in the future, we will pay a monthly subsidy of 500 yuan for your brother's son's child support. This will ease our responsibilities a little, and I hope you will agree. ”

"What do you say? 100,000 yuan?? Xu Dazhu thought he had heard it wrong, why did he lose money in the mine for some reason? And one loss is 100,000 yuan! 100,000 yuan is naturally nothing for a rich person like Fan Wei, but for any villager living in Xufang, it is definitely a lot of money.

Fan Wei stared at this guy who squinted into a line when he laughed, giving people a particularly sinister feeling, and soon a proverb popped out of his heart.

Nothing to be courteous, either a traitor or a thief!
