The rattling train traveled at a constant speed on the railway for three days, and then stopped steadily in the Sijiucheng Railway Station.

Helping Jiang Enmin, who was drunk and exuding a strong smell of alcohol, to get into the jeep that came to pick him up, and refused the other party's kindness to send him back, Li Ping'an took the bus in the direction of the courtyard with his luggage.

"Son, Daddy is back, I don't think Daddy has it"

Li Ping'an, who returned to the courtyard, put down the luggage in his hand as soon as possible, ran back to the back room quickly, picked up Lele, who was lying on the crib and was asleep, and kissed the child's face twice.

Lele, who was sleeping, was suddenly picked up by Li Ping'an, and before he knew what was happening, he had drunk wine on the train for three days and kissed his stinky mouth on his face without washing.

Lele, who reacted, was stunned for two seconds, grinned, kicked down with his two legs, and cried out.

"Why are you making the child cry just after you came back from outside, are you a father?" Ding Qiunan, who was just happy because Li Ping'an was back, had time to bloom the smile on his face, but he was made disappear by the child's crying, and stepped forward to snatch the child from Li Ping'an's arms and put it in his arms and coaxed him.

Seeing Ding Qiunan take the child away from his arms, Li Ping'an was unhappy at the time, stretched out his hand to bring the child back, and defended himself with dissatisfaction: "Look at what you said, I didn't mean it, I just came back and wanted to be intimate with my son, hurry up and give me a hug."

After listening to Li Ping'an's words, Ding Qiunan thought about it, just two days after the child was born, Li Ping'an had been on a business trip for more than half a month, and now it is normal to come back to see the child for the first time, thinking of this, Ding Qiunan reluctantly handed the child who was still crying to Li Ping'an.

As soon as he got closer, Ding Qiunan was smoked back again and again by the strong smell on Li Ping'an's body, and frowned and said: "What kind of smell is this on your body, why is it so stinky, haven't you taken a bath these days on a business trip?" ”

"Does it stink?" Li Ping'an subconsciously sniffed the clothes on his body, and was almost vomited by the smell coming from his body, and suddenly scratched his head with some embarrassment: "Hey, on the train back, I was in a carriage with a drunkard, good guy, I moved two boxes of liquor before I got on the train, and I really woke up on the train and started drinking it, I'll wash it now."

After finishing speaking, Li Ping'an couldn't hold the child against the smell, so he hurriedly took out clean clothes from the wardrobe and prepared to take a bath in the bathhouse.

At the end of March, the weather was still relatively cold, and there was no way to take a shower without heating at home, so if you wanted to take a bath, you had to go to the bathhouse inside the rolling mill.

After returning from the shower at the rolling mill and having no smell on his body, he was allowed to hold the child.

"Where have you been on a business trip this time, and why hasn't there been any news coming back? Ask the people in our factory, and they all said that they don't know the destination of this business trip" After the couple teased the child together for a while, Ding Qiunan curiously asked about the business trip.

"Since you can't ask for information, it means that this is a confidential task, anyway, don't ask me, I can't say if I ask, the superiors have requirements"

Li Ping'an really didn't fool Ding Qiunan when he said this, when they returned from the base, they were clearly informed of the confidentiality regulations by the secret unit, and they didn't tell their parents, their wives and children, and everyone swore an oath under the red flag.

"Virtue, if you still keep the task secret, you can blow it" Ding Qiunan glanced at Li Ping'an and said coquettishly.

"Believe it or not, by the way, I brought you some special pastries from Dongjiang this time, how about you taste it?"

Speaking of the location of the task, Li Ping'an remembered that the large piece of cut cake he had bought had come, and hurriedly ran to the suitcase and took out the dozen catties of cut cake wrapped in oilcloth paper in the suitcase.

Ding Qiunan, who was excited at the mention of food, heard that there was food, and followed behind Li Ping'an's ass with a puffed face, wanting to see what delicious food Li Ping'an had brought back.

Ding Qiunan curiously picked up a small piece of cut cake, carefully looked at the cut cake in front of him, and blurted out a question: "What is this?" Why isn't it made of noodles? How can there still be melon seeds in it? What's the rest? ”

In these years, the transportation was not developed, and the locals only knew the local cuisine for the special snacks. In addition to the kind of snacks that are famous all over the country, the rest are not to mention across provinces, even people in the next city rarely know, especially the frontier specialty of cutting cakes, Ding Qiunan, who was born in the south of the Yangtze River, naturally can't recognize it.

Facing the curious Ding Qiunan, Li Ping'an patiently explained to her the source of the cut cake and what materials were in it.

The greedy Ding Qiunan, listening to Li Ping'an talking about all kinds of nuts that he had never heard of, his saliva was about to flow out, and he didn't wait for Li Ping'an to finish speaking, so he took a bite.

The gluttonous Ding Qiunan ate the cut cake for the first time, and his eyes lit up at that time, and he stuffed it into his mouth one by one, he couldn't stop at all, and praised vaguely in his mouth: "It's delicious"

"If it's delicious, you can eat more and eat our son's portion."

"The child has already been born, how can he still eat his share"

Li Ping'an smiled, put his salty pig hand on Ding Qiunan's indescribable thing and pinched it, squeezed his eyebrows and said slightly obscenely: "What you said is not right, although the child is no longer in your belly, but isn't it still feeding now, you eat it is equivalent to Lele is also eating"

Ding Qiunan glanced at Li Ping'an, unceremoniously knocked off Li Ping'an's salty pig hand, and spit out the word "roll" from his mouth angrily.

Yi Zhonghai came back from work at the rolling mill and saw that Li Ping'an had returned from a business trip, so he happily stepped forward and patted Li Ping'an on the shoulder.

originally thought that Li Ping'an thought that Yi Zhonghai would shout at him when he came back from a business trip, but he didn't expect Yi Zhonghai to just pat Ding Qiunan on the shoulder, and after leaving an emotionless sentence "It's good to be back", he happily took the rattle to tease Lele who was lying on the crib.

At this moment, Li Ping'an just wants to say: So will love be transferred? ”

In the evening, when the family was eating, Silly Zhu walked in from outside with a piece of paper, and when he saw Li Ping'an who was eating, he smiled and said hello to Li Ping'an.

Just when Li Ping'an wanted to ask Silly Zhu about his intentions, he saw Yi Zhonghai happily put down his chopsticks and beckoned Silly Zhu to sit down and eat: "Zhuzi, I'm back, have I done your business?" ”

"It's done, it's done, I've worked hard this time, you don't know, in order to do it for you, I used all the relationship between my father and my master, I just finalized it, I didn't eat the meal, I ran back in a hurry, and reported to you, this is a list for you to see"

Silly Zhu looked really hungry, and after handing the paper in his hand to Yi Zhonghai, he took the chopsticks handed over by his aunt, picked up the steamed bun and ate it unceremoniously.

Yi Zhonghai smiled and took the list handed over by the stupid pillar and looked at it, and after reading it, Yi Zhonghai nodded with satisfaction: "Not bad, yes, they are all famous chefs in our old Sijiu City, you are really bothered this time, I want to thank you, you uncle."

"What is this, when my dad left, you and my aunt really took care of me and the rain, and I didn't thank you for doing this, this is what I should do"

"Okay, good, I really didn't misunderstand you, pillar, among the young people who grew up in our dean, count you as benevolent and righteous"

"That's, and don't look at whose teaching I grew up"

"Pillars."

"Uncle One"

"Wait, let me interrupt, uncle, can I ask what you have done for Brother Zhuzi?" Li Ping'an, who was sitting on the side, really didn't take the initiative to interrupt the warm moment between the two of them at this time, he was really curious about what Lao Yi asked Silly Zhu to do, listening to the meaning of this sentence, it seemed that Yi Zhonghai was going to do something big.

An aunt opened her mouth and explained to Li Ping'an: "Hey, it's not a big deal, it's just that when Lele is full of moon wine, your uncle will invite neighbors and workers to drink."

Hey, I thought it was a big deal, the whole thing was the same as what to do, it turned out to be such a trivial thing as a full moon wine.

"Aunt Yi, what you said is not right, what is not a big deal, an uncle sets twenty tables to entertain, is that a big deal? This is a big deal," Silly Zhu retorted excitedly because he was dissatisfied with his aunt's words.

"How much? Twenty tables? Hearing that Yi Zhonghai was going to set up twenty tables of full moon wine, Li Ping'an was stunned, and the mouthful of porridge he had just drunk almost squirted out, and he couldn't help but look at Yi Zhonghai who was sitting in shock at the old god sitting on the main seat.

Facing Li Ping'an's puzzled gaze, Yi Zhong nodded reservedly, saying that what Silly Zhu said was right, this time Lele's full moon wine was to set up twenty tables of banquets.

Seeing Li Ping'an's incredulous look, Silly Zhu smiled, opened his mouth and continued to add: "An uncle is an uncle, that is, he has courage, all the dishes of these twenty tables of banquets are made by famous chefs from Sijiu City, and each chef makes a main dish, enough for ten dishes per table, and no gift money is charged, everyone pays a food stamp to eat for free."

Li Ping'an was completely shocked at this moment, this special mother is really generous, not to mention the full moon wine this year, even if she got married, she didn't set up twenty tables, if this really made Yi Zhonghai put it up, it was really a scorpion poop, the only one in the entire Sijiu City.

"Uncle, these twenty tables are too exaggerated, right? Let's do less, set up two or three tables for relatives and friends to come and be lively" Li Ping'an couldn't help but persuade Yi Zhonghai to keep a low profile, don't play so big.

In the face of his nephew's persuasion, Yi Zhonghai, who was bent on making a big scene, didn't listen at all, waved his hand, and said arrogantly: "Twenty tables is not much, I was originally going to set up thirty tables, but I really couldn't find a place, so I lowered the standard, and twenty tables can't be lowered anymore, I want to put on a big banquet."

Looking at Yi Zhonghai, who was resolute and unchangeable, Li Ping'an saw that he couldn't be persuaded from this place, thought about it, and decided to persuade from other places: "Uncle, the impact of these twenty tables is really bad, if someone reports it, won't it be troublesome?"

"What's the impact, we spend our own money, and we're innocent for fear of who will report, besides, I've asked the street office, and the street office says it's no problem"

"Okay, even if it doesn't matter, where do you get so much meat? Twenty tables of meat are not a small amount, we don't have meat tickets," Li Ping'an, who did not give up, continued to find reasons to persuade.

"I don't need a meat ticket, I contacted an old friend from the commune below, they have recently had a wild boar grazing crops, and when the time comes to need meat, you can let me take a team of militia to the mountains to hunt, and the pork I caught can be bought for money."

"Even if there is pork, then"

Before Li Ping'an's words were finished, he was interrupted by Yi Zhonghai with a wave of his hand, and said with a firm face: "Don't persuade anymore, I have made up my mind, this time Lele's full moon wine must have twenty tables, not one less table."

"That's it, don't persuade Ping'an, your uncle is happy, just let him do it, at most it's only a month's salary, it's nothing" An aunt also helped Yi Zhonghai persuade by the side.

"Yes, yes, Brother Ping'an, I'm going to criticize you, Uncle Yi is finally happy once, don't spoil the fun anymore" Silly Zhu said beside him.

Li Ping'an: "."

In the end, Li Ping'an still did not persuade Yi Zhonghai to put on a big banquet, and after eating dinner with a sad face, he left the special products he bought for the old couple in Dongjiang, and returned to his room in frustration.

When they returned to the back room, Ding Qiunan and He Yushui, who came to talk to Ding Qiunan, were watching TV in a very low voice in the back room, and when Li Ping'an came in, the two people who were attracted by the TV did not raise their heads.

Seeing that his bed was occupied by Ding Qiunan, Li Ping'an was embarrassed to continue to stay in the back room, but took the milked Lele from Ding Qiunan and walked out.

Not long after playing with Lele in the outhouse, an aunt walked in and took Lele from Li Ping'an's arms, and walked into the back room together to turn on the TV.

Yes, the child was snatched away by an aunt, and Li Ping'an was embarrassed to go to the back room to watch TV together, so he could only walk out of the room with his hands behind his back.

glanced at the brightly lit Yi Zhonghai's room, and saw through the glass that Silly Zhu and Yi Zhonghai were discussing the layout of the banquet, Li Ping'an really didn't want to go in and listen to the two of them discuss this.

Li Ping'an, who had nowhere to go, simply untied the rope that held Da Hei and took Da Hei around the courtyard aimlessly.

When Li Ping'an walked to a remote alley, he heard a suppressed cry from the alley, and Li Ping'an, who didn't want to meddle in his affairs, was just about to leave, and the big black who slipped over began to bark at the alley.

"Wangwang"

The sound of barking dogs in the silence of the night came far away.

The more Da Hei yelled, the more fierce he became, faintly rushing towards the alley, Li Ping'an, who knew that there were people in the alley, hurriedly grabbed Da Hei's fur, lest this stupid dog rush in and bite someone.

After controlling Da Hei, Li Ping'an shouted into the alley: "Don't be afraid, the people inside, I've already pulled the dog, let's leave immediately"

Just as Li Ping'an was dragging the dog's head and preparing to leave, a slender black shadow walked out of the alley.
