In the following time, Pan Ming and his daughter-in-law Li Yuxiao accompanied Zhang Lan and Zhang Hu to eat at the barbecue restaurant for nearly two hours, and finally Zhang Lan looked at the time It was nearly ten o'clock.

There were not many people in the township, and when Zhang Lan and Zhang Hu came out of the house, there were few people in the courtyard outside, but there were four or five young men sitting next to the two small tables at the door.

Zhang Hu drank a lot, he and Pan Ming drank nearly two bottles, Zhang Lan drank half a cup at first, and then drank a cold drink.

Pan Ming's daughter-in-law Li Yuxiao didn't drink, and after taking the car key in Zhang Hu's hand, she walked out of the yard to drive first.

Zhang Hu in the back is not good, although he and Pan Ming can drink as much as they want, but they are already obviously shaking when they walk.

However, he was still quite conscious, and his speech sounded logical. After walking to the door, Zhang Hu seemed to recognize one of them, stopped and said a few words.

Li Yuxiao started the car, and Zhang Lan opened the back door and sat down. After a while, he found that Zhang Hu had not been in the car, so he reached out and pressed the window to see what was going on with Zhang Hu outside.

After Zhang Lan pressed the car window, he found that he and Pan Ming were standing at the door, talking to four or five young men at the entrance of the courtyard, which made Zhang Lan a little curious, they were all ready to leave, what were they doing standing there.

looked at where he seemed to be chatting and couldn't forget it, Li Yuxiao in the car was also a little anxious, and muttered "What's the matter?" While taking off the seat belt from the driver's seat and getting out of the car, Li Yuxiao went over, and then walked over with Zhang Hu after a while.

After getting into the car, Zhang Lan couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter?" How can I see Pan Ming still standing there talking to people. ”

Zhang Hu laughed twice and said: "Some nonsense, a few young people came out for dinner together and ordered a big table of barbecue, and now that the food is almost gone, no one will pay to settle the bill." It's about a person having a treat, but the one who went to the toilet halfway through the treat. ”

Zhang Lan couldn't help but smile and said, "It's all nearby, where can you go." How to solve it? ”

"Where is Pan Ming, look at who has money, and if you don't have money, you can get together. It's just a few hundred dollars, and you can still make it up, but you just don't want to pay it. Zhang Hu said with a smile.

Zhang Lan smiled and said, "I see that you greeted someone, whose child is that?" ”

"One of us in the village, or I don't know what's going on. A few children are still going to continue eating, just boiling there, ready to pay for whoever leaves. I asked two questions and then told Pan Ming, if it didn't work, I would call their family. It's ten o'clock, and after a while, all the people in their family will sleep, and then Pan Ming will have to send people back one by one. Zhang Hu said with a smile.

"It's just a solution, it's not a big deal." Zhang Lan said casually.

Zhang Hu sighed with a smile, and said with some sighs: "To be honest, if I hadn't done this a few years ago, I might not have been able to see it just now." As I passed by, a couple of kids asked for a few beers and planned to continue drinking. I saw that the kid's expression was wrong, and he kept looking at it with his phone, so I stopped and asked a few questions, but sure enough, no one paid to hold on there. ”

"You're experienced." Zhang Lan commented.

Zhang Hu smiled and said, "No matter how experienced you are, you are used to being cheated." In the past, I didn't pay less when I went out, and it was okay to say that I had money, but I stood up when I didn't have money. He only had a few hundred yuan, I remember that the most embarrassing time at that time was in our city's KTV, originally a few people said okay when they were eating, I invited a guest to sing a song and left. As a result, as soon as I went in, I drank and sang on demand, and after a series of times, the original budget of 500 became 5,000. Later, I didn't pay any money, just in front of someone's store, a few of us sat from more than ten o'clock in the evening to more than one o'clock in the morning, and finally the eldest brother who led the way couldn't stand the settlement. ”

While speaking, the car entered the village, and Zhang Hu said, "Go to Zhang Lan's house first, and then go to my place later." The car will come over tomorrow morning when they come, is this okay, Zhang Lan? ”

Zhang Lan nodded and said, "It's okay, it's okay at any time, I still have a car at home, I'm not in a hurry." ”

When they got out of the car at the door of the house, Zhang Lan and the two of them said a few polite words, and after watching the car leave, they turned around and prepared to go home.

I pressed the handle, the gate was unlocked, I pushed the door open and carried the bag into the yard, turned around and locked the gate. The lights in the hall and the courtyard were on, Zhang Lan carried the bag into the house, saw her mother just coming out of the bedroom on the east side, and said with a smile after seeing Zhang Lan: "I'm back, why didn't I hear the sound of the car, have you eaten?" ”

"I've eaten it, and I've eaten it with Zhang Hu." Zhang Lan put the bag on the chair next to her and said, ready to go to the bathroom next to wash her face.

"Drunk? Didn't Zhang Hu drive a car? Smelling the smell of Zhang Lan's body, Zhang Lan's mother asked.

"I drank it from Zhang Hu's friend in our town, and his friend drove it back, and he will send it over tomorrow morning." Zhang Lan replied casually, walked to the washbasin in the bathroom, unscrewed the faucet and began to wash his face.

"I'll make you a soup, this body smells of wine." Zhang Lan's mother said.

"No, no, go to sleep. I'm just going to see the lights on and come in and have a look, or I'll just go to sleep. Where's my dad? Slept? Zhang Lan hurriedly said, now he is not hungry at all, and he doesn't want to eat anything.

"I played cards with someone at your uncle's house, and I came back after twelve o'clock." Zhang Lan's mother said.

Zhang Lan said a little speechlessly: "What kind of cards to play, I won't go to bed early this night." ”

"Just fight the landlord, what cards can you play. People who play mahjong don't play with him, he reacts too slowly, and everyone else plays four or five times when he plays one round. He and your uncle finished collecting the autumn day to fight the landlord there, two handfuls of five yuan, day and night. Zhang Lan's mother couldn't help but nag a few words.

Zhang Lan sighed and said: "Tell me about my father, he is different from others, high blood pressure is the most taboo to stay up late, and he still fights every day." Aren't the others afraid? ”

"I said that he didn't listen either, since your father's body was conditioned by you, he worked in the fields, helped people with small jobs, and he could still do it than before he got sick. Who is still afraid of that. Zhang Lan's mother said.

Zhang Lan scratched her head and said, "Mom, go to bed early, I'll go to my house." ”

"Go ahead, I dried the quilt in your room two days ago, and the bed or something was laid for you, go to sleep."

Carrying the bag to the small courtyard in the east, opening the bedroom door, the room was cleaned up by Zhang Lan's mother, Zhang Lan threw the bag on the chair on the side, just about to lie on the bed to sleep, thought about changing into pajamas, or go to take a bath first, this has just drunk wine, take a bath and sleep is the most comfortable.
