The 12th Gathering in the Mountains(5)

Shen Jiannan was on the side and asked Cao Zhenhai in a low voice: "Presumably this lady is the third sister-in-law?" ”

Cao Zhenhai said: "Exactly, her name is Jiang Luping, and she is the wife of the third brother in distress." Shen Jiannan said: "Oh." ”

Ma Yuntian ranked second in Xiaoshan, the eldest brother was not there, he should be in charge of the overall situation, he got up at the moment, picked up a glass of wine, held the golden cup high, looked around the table, and said with a smile: "Everyone, today is the birthday of our third Xiaoshan Wang He. ”

The whole crew got up and drank it all. Wang He smiled: "Thank you brothers, Wang is very happy, in fact, Wang's birthday is not a big deal, brothers eating and drinking together and being happy is what they pursue in this life." ”

Zhang Chaofan sighed: "It's a pity that the eldest brother and the tenth brother couldn't rush back, otherwise it would have been unprecedented." ”

Zhao Xiancheng said with a smile: "The two of them are wishing in Shandong, although they are not together, but our brothers are together." ”

Ma Yuntian said loudly: "The eldest brother said, I will bring his wine to drink, and let me respect the old man for three or three bowls." ”

Zhou Gongyi continued: "Li Rugui's wine will be replaced by me. After that, the two of them filled three bowls in a row and drank them one by one. The crowd applauded again. Coaxed again and again.

Wang He said with a smile: "Thank you second brother, seventh brother will drink on his behalf, Wang should be respected." ”

Lift a bowl and take a big bite to the bottom. Zhao Xiancheng said: "Immediately ask the villain to bring the wine he got back from Huijiang the year before last, as well as the wine he took from the foreigners last time, and taste it." ”

The next person went in response, and after a while, he took two large bottles, Zhao Xian made a uniform wine, and everyone tasted it one by one, Wang Guyan only felt that the wine still had a sweet taste after drinking, but this Western wine was dry and spicy, not very good, bitter and spicy, and said at the moment: "This wine made by foreigners is really not as good as the wine in our hometown." ”

Everyone felt this way, but no one knew how to drink foreign wine, so they put it down and didn't want to taste it again.

Zhang Chaofan had a whim, stood up, and shouted: "Listen to me, everyone, I have a good way to ensure that this foreign wine is no longer dry and unpleasant." ”

Zhao Xiancheng asked happily: "What is the method, say it quickly." ”

Zhang Chaofan said with a smile: "We can mix this foreign wine with wine, plus our hometown daughter Hong, and put some black tea into it, I think this kind of wine must be delicious." ”

Everyone was at a loss, they had never drunk such wine, and they didn't know if they could drink it or if they would be poisoned.

Wang Guyan shuddered and said with a smile: "Ninth brother, if you mix wine like this, can you still drink it?" Zhang Chaofan said with a smile: "Drink, drink, when I left Huainan the year before last, I saw people drink it, and I couldn't taste it at that time, but when I saw people drink it, I talked about it with relish, and I thought this wine was very beautiful." ”

Zhou Gongyi said with a smile: "Okay, according to Zhang Chaofan's method, let's come up with a name for this wine, it must be wonderful, well, today we and other heroes gather, it is a gathering of heroes, let's call it the Heroes Huicui." ”

After saying a word, everyone was amazed and said in unison, Ma Yuntian first praised: "What a group of heroes, today I will not get drunk and not return." ”

Everyone vacated the utensils, poured several kinds of wine into it, and then stirred it evenly with chopsticks, poured it one by one, everyone tasted it one after another, only to feel that this wine was not as spicy as it was, nor was it dry and astringent, but it was slightly sweet, and it was a mouthful of belly, and the cotton was endless, and everyone was scrambling for a while, for fear that it would not be enough to drink.

The wine will be over thirty years, Shen Jiannan did not say a word, at this time everyone was slightly mouthful, his face was slightly red, and he began to talk, stood up at the moment, and said with a smile: "Today is the birthday of the third brother Wang, brother, I salute the third brother of the king with a glass, there is no gorgeous language, the younger brother is not good at words, and the third brother is also asked to take care of it." ”

Wang He laughed, hurriedly got up, and said with a smile: "What did Brother Shen say, Wang's birthday, Brother Shen can come and have a drink, it is really an honor for Wang, but he only cares about drinking and neglects his brother, please forgive me." The two drank opposite each other.

Zhou Gongyi got up and said solemnly: "Brothers, the younger brother has something to say. ”

As soon as the words fell, everyone waited, and the audience was silent.

Zhou Gongyi said: "Brother Shen and we have been friends for a long time, he is generous and righteous, and he is very close to us and others, so I suggest that Brother Shen be included in the list of the ten brothers, I don't know what everyone's opinion is." ”

As soon as these words were said, everyone was at a loss, and it felt sudden, no one had thought about it beforehand, and there was no discussion, and everyone was not able to make a decision for a while. Shen Jiannan was even more stunned, but he was prepared in his heart, just because he had talked about this matter with Zhou Gongyi before, and Zhou Gongyi had also said that he was invited to join the gang, and he didn't know what to do about this matter in front of him, so he had to keep quiet, and listen to what opinions everyone present had first.

I only heard Cao Zhenhai say in a loud voice: "I agree, Brother Shen is upright and has a relationship with me, plus ten brothers, I, Cao Zhenhai, raise my hands in approval." ”

Suddenly, everyone whispered eagerly, especially undecided, but they all looked at Cao Zhenhai, Shen Jiannan smiled knowingly, and said: "Thank you Brother Cao and Brother Zhou for your kindness, but when it comes to joining the Ten Brothers, I think it's better to wait for Brother Feng and Brother Li to come back before making plans, after all, Brother Feng is the head of the sky, what a big deal to join, how can you act hastily, or ask Brother Feng to come back and make a decision." ”

Ma Yuntian saw that everyone was speechless, it was expected that his status was low, he was ranked last, and it was inconvenient to make a decision, but now he was only presided over by one person, and this decision should be made by himself, and he said at the moment: "I have done it as the master of the eldest brother, Brother Shen will be a member of the ten brothers from now on, and he will be the eleventh brother in the future." ”

Shen Jiannan said: "Second Brother Ma is very grateful for this move, but Brother Li Rugui still doesn't know if he is willing?" ”

Ma Yuntian said: "He is ranked tenth, and I have decided this matter with the third and fourth children, and he has nothing to say." ”

Wang He said: "Okay, it's decided, and I agree with it." ”

Zhou Gongyi glanced at everyone again, only to see that everyone also agreed, raised their wine glasses, and came to pay tribute to Shen Jiannan one after another. Zhou Gongyi said: "Then how many should Brother Shen rank?" ”

Shen Jiannan hurriedly said: "The junior brother has a humble status, and he has just come here, so let's be the last." ”

Ma Yuntian said: "How can it be done, my brothers and I have all been ranked in the date and month of birth, I don't know when and what month Brother Shen was born?" ”

Shen Jiannan said: "I am twenty years old this year, and I was born in October. ”

Cao Zhenhai said with a smile: "On the twenty-fourth of October in the next month, according to this, Brother Shen should be in front of me, and you will be the fourth brother in the future, and my fourth brother will abdicate and make way for Xian." ”

The crowd burst into laughter. Shen Jiannan was frightened, felt ashamed, and said: "Brother Cao's words are ashamed of me, how dare you fight in the future." ”

Cao Zhenhai said with a smile: "Brother Shen, don't take it seriously, Cao is joking." ”

Ma Yuntian said: "The ranking has been decided, the boss, the second, the third, the ranking remains the same, from Cao Zhenhai downwards, one step back, Shen Jiannan will be our fourth brother after Cao Zhenhai, the fourth brother after Cao Zhenhai." ”

Everyone coaxed, and Zhou Gongyi smiled and said, "Fourth brother, come to the eighth brother to give you a bowl." ”

The brothers below toasted one after another, but Shen Jiannan couldn't push it, and returned the salute one by one.

Hao Changfeng said with a smile: "Brother Shen has become my fourth brother today, we will be a family in the future, come on, I'll have a bowl with you." ”

Shen Jiannan followed with another drink, and then said: "Brothers, Shen is not strong enough to drink, I am afraid that if I drink again, I will lose my temper, today is the third brother's birthday, the younger brother does not want to spoil the fun, you just drink, in the next drip is." ”

Hao Changfeng said: "The fourth brother really doesn't give noodles, the younger brother just drank a bowl with you, so he won't drink it." ”

Ma Yuntian said: "Seventh brother Mo is persuading, Brother Shen doesn't drink." ”

Shen Jiannan has drunk enough wine, and the dishes are full, it was late at night, seeing that everyone was still in the mood, each pushing the cup and asking the cup, they were happy, everyone smiled on their faces, and there was a light smile on their mouths, looking up at the sky, the moon shadow was slanting westward, looking up for a long time, suddenly frowned, seemed to have some worries, got up and left the table alone, standing in the square, at this time I thought of many things, but I heard her say to herself: "I have been away from home for a long time, I don't know how my mother is, where is Uncle Qu Aofeng, how is Miss Hua's recent situation, and the turmoil in the rivers and lakes has not stopped." And so on and so forth.

There were bursts of laughter at the banquet, brothers are harmonious, walking hand in hand, it is a happy thing in life, at this time the east is getting white, everyone is lively all night, they are all addicted, some lie on the table and fall asleep, some lie on the ground and play drunk, and unconsciously Shen Jiannan will also see Zhou Gong.

With a few rooster crows, everyone gradually woke up, a new day began again, and the normal activities of the past were resumed on Xiaoshan, Shen Jiannan drank a few more glasses, his eyes were red, he walked slightly, and the drunkenness had not yet dissipated. ”

The two hurriedly got up, and Hao Changfeng said with a smile: "Fourth brother, now that you are eleven brothers, you should ask me to wait for the seventh brother and the tenth brother." ”

Shen Jiannan smiled embarrassedly: "Yes, yes, it's just that I can't change it for a while." ”

Zhang Chaofan said: "If the fourth brother has something, even if he is instructed in the future, the younger brother will obey." ”

Shen Jiannan said with a smile: "That's natural, and it will be indispensable to trouble the brothers in the future." ”

Hao Changfeng asked, "What are the plans of the fourth brother in the future?" Shen Jiannan said: "I'm going to go home to see how my mother is." ”

Hao Changfeng said: "Well, it's okay, just let the seventh brother and I accompany you back." ”

Shen Jiannan thanked him: "Thank you Seventh Brother, but I have traveled a long way, and Xiaoshan is busy, so I won't work for Seventh Brother." ”

Shen Jiannan packed his bags and came to the foot of Xiaoshan, the brothers said goodbye, Ma Yuntian said: "Fourth brother, take care all the way, if you have any difficulties, return to Xiaoshan immediately and inform me and wait." ”

Shen Jiannan bowed and bowed, and said, "Thank you second brother and brothers, the younger brother went." ”
