"Ah Rong, are you back?"

Facing the cordial greetings of the neighbor's uncle, Xu Rong was quite uncomfortable.

Because this person's attitude towards him has always been very ordinary, nodding his head is even a greeting, and now he is so enthusiastic?

Xu Rong nodded: "I just came back from a mission." ”

Today, for a day, Xu Rong is walking around the area in the north of the city, and he is not tired.

With his current situation, even if he really didn't do anything, no one would say anything.

People like Huo Mingjue and others may feel very happy.

"You're out of luck now, you became a deputy catcher at a young age, unlike my family, who knows how to dig in the ground every day."

Hearing this, Xu Rong suddenly realized, no wonder this person's attitude changed so much, it turned out that it was because he knew the news.

Now that he knew the reason, Xu Rong naturally had no interest in chatting with him.

"Huh...... I went home first. ”

After Xu Rong finished speaking, no matter how he answered, he went directly into his yard.

Although there is a saying that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors, people who usually have an average relationship can't be counted on at critical moments.

"I came back early today."

The old man came out of the kitchen, "You sit down first, I'll finish this dish, and then you can eat." ”

"Okay."

Xu Rong washed his hands, and then walked into the house, and saw a pile of meat dishes on the dining table.

Braised fish, stir-fried meat, beef in sauce, and a pot of chicken.

"Cooking so many good dishes today, are there any guests?"

Xu Rong was a little puzzled, if two people ate, they would definitely not be able to eat so much.

He is not the same as before, in order to practice, he has to eat more.

After four blood exchanges, eating alone is no longer of much help to Xu Rong.

Not long after, the old man walked in with a plate of greens.

"Master, who's coming over today? Cooked so many good dishes. ”

Xu Rong set the dishes and chopsticks and asked with some curiosity.

The old man sat down and said with a smile: "There is no one else, haven't you been promoted to deputy catcher?" This is a good thing, so naturally you have to eat a good meal, and then put on the incense later, to comfort the ancestors and ancestors. ”

"I thought there was some guest coming."

Since there were no guests, Xu Rong was no longer polite, helped the old man pour the wine, and then poured a little himself.

"Master, I respect you."

The old man smiled and picked up the bowl and touched it with Xu Rong, and then said, "Okay, then I wish you to rise step by step, marry a daughter-in-law as soon as possible, and have a few more big fat boys." ”

Hearing this, the corners of Xu Rong's mouth twitched, but he also took a sip of wine.

The mellow liquor went down the throat, like a line of fire, hot.

"It's quite strong."

Xu Rong was a little surprised, this was the first time he had drunk such a high degree of wine in this world.

The old man also took a sip, enjoying his face, then put down the bowl and said with a smile: "I have treasured this altar of burning knives for a long time, if you hadn't become the deputy catcher, I would have been reluctant to take it out and drink it." ”

"No wonder."

Xu Rong suddenly felt that he was physically strong now, and he could still accept such a high-grade liquor, even if he drank too much, he could withstand it.

He sandwiched a chopsticks of braised fish, the entrance is full of aroma, and the fish meat is also extremely tender and delicious.

The old man's cooking skills have always been very good, he doesn't have much to do at home, and he is idle, so he basically prepares the meals.

Just as the two were eating happily, a carriage stopped outside the courtyard.

Both of them couldn't help but look at the carriage.

The coachman got out of the car and lifted the curtain, and a middle-aged man stepped down.

The middle-aged man is quite tall, with white skin, soft eyebrows and eyes, two mustaches on his lips, and a blue shirt, and the whole person looks a little elegant.

Seeing that the person who came was Xu Mo, Xu Rong stood up and walked into the courtyard.

"Uncle Xu, why are you here?"

Anyway, Xu Mo also helped him at the beginning, and Xu Rong has always remembered this feeling.

Xu Mo had a shallow smile on his face, and his voice was slightly hoarse: "I'll come to see you and the old man." ”

Although Xu Mo didn't say it, he didn't come early, he didn't come late, but he ran over after he became the deputy catcher, Xu Rong guessed that Xu Mo probably came to win him over, or to get closer.

"Uncle Xu, please, have you eaten at night?"

Xu Rong beckoned Xu Mo to go inside.

"I've already eaten it, but I'm a little hungry when I see such a table of good dishes, haha......"

After Xu Mo came to the house, he hurriedly beckoned the old man who had already stood up to sit down.

"Old man, just sit down."

When Xu Rong heard Xu Mo's words, he hurriedly ran to the kitchen and took another pair of dishes and chopsticks, and then poured him a bowl of wine.

"Uncle Xu, I respect you and thank you for your help before."

"Haha...... After all, we are from the same clan, and I am still the patriarch, and it is also my responsibility to take care of you orphans. ”

Xu Mo said and picked up the bowl and touched it with Xu Rong, and then drank half a bowl in one gulp.

Feeling the burning sensation, Xu Mo let out a sigh: "Hey, this burning knife is strong enough." ”

Xu Rong also didn't expect that this Xu Mo looked elegant, and he was so bold when he drank wine.

Xu Rong said: "This is a good wine that my grandfather treasures, and he is usually reluctant to drink it." ”

"Then I'm stained with your light today."

Xu Mo looked at the little immature aura that still remained between Xu Rong's eyebrows, and couldn't help but feel a little emotional.

The last time he saw Xu Rong, he thought that he was a teenager with potential, so he gave some investment.

Especially when Xu Rong took the position of a jailer and Tian Qi in exchange for his support, he was even more impressed with Xu Rong.

At such an age, there are very few people who can have a long-term vision and a decision, and as long as they don't die in the future, they must be a person.

It's just that how long has passed, and the young man in front of him has become the deputy catcher.

Being able to be promoted to this position at such a rapid pace without any background is basically not thinking about anything other than making great contributions.

And to make a great contribution, you must have strength.

"Congratulations on becoming the deputy head catcher, as the patriarch of the Xu clan, I also have a light on my face."

"Thank you, Uncle Xu."

Xu Rong said sincerely: "If you hadn't pulled us at the beginning, I wouldn't be where I am today, and I respect you again." ”

"I'm just a gesture, I can't take it seriously."

Having said that, the smile on Xu Mo's face became a little thicker.

After half a bowl of wine again, Xu Mo's white face was already a little red.

In the case of the two sides intending to get closer, the atmosphere is exceptionally harmonious.

The wine has passed three rounds, and the dishes have passed five flavors.

Xu Mo suddenly said, "Ah Rong, I have something I want to ask you to help with here. ”
