This wine was drunk until more than 10 o'clock in the evening, Chu Xiangqian picked up a wine glass the size of four coins in the surprised and admiring eyes of more than 20 uncles and brothers in the same village, and while drinking it dry, he also poured down the most drinkable steel mill Lin purchaser.

smiled and said to Chu He and the village captain Qin Dakui, "Two uncles and uncles, my task has been completed, right?" ”

Without waiting for Chu He to speak, Qin Dakui, who was in his 50s, patted the table and said, "Good boy, I knew that you were so good at drinking, and when I went to the commune to ask for something to do, I should have taken you to accompany the wine." ”

The village accountant and the secretary nodded hurriedly, "Last month, the commune organized manpower to catch fish and divide the fish in the reservoir next door, if you kid was present, our village would definitely be able to get more than 100 catties of fish." ”

Chu Xiangqian recalled for a few seconds, and quickly thought that next door was the Ming Tomb.

The construction of the reservoir, which began at the beginning of last year, was attended by all the people in Linchang Village in batches.

In this era of shoulder-to-shoulder, nearly 400,000 people participated in voluntary labor, and it took only 160 days to build a reservoir.

Chu Xiangqian thought, anyway, drinking by himself is nothing more than putting the wine into the novice village or storage compartment, not to mention today's three and a half catties, even ten catties are no problem.

"Uncle, don't worry, as long as you accompany the wine in the future, just call me", Chu Xiangqian smiled, "By the way, you can also have a full meal." ”

The crowd burst into laughter. And there's no way to be jealous of him.

Of course, three or four catties is acceptable, but if you really drink 10 catties, it will be scary.

Arrange for someone to send the five guests to sleep separately, and everyone greeted each other, smiling and going home in twos and threes.

When everyone left, Chu He and Chu Xiangqian's uncle and nephew said as they walked, "Xiangqian, who do you think is most likely to take you into the city today?" ”

Chu Xiangqian shook his head, "It seems that this matter is not so easy. ”

Chu He thought for a while and nodded helplessly, "Yes, except for Chen Huaili on the street, no one else is a person who can make decisions." ”

After speaking, he patted Chu Xiangqian's arm, "Forget it, let's talk about spending the New Year in the village with peace of mind." ”

Chu Xiangqian could only nod, at the end of the year, there were so many things in each unit, one or two roe deer and wild boar, just to satisfy the desire of the tongue, and some serious things were more important than eating.

It is too outrageous to hunt several, or even a dozen roe deer and wild boars, at one time.

Many hunting teams that go into the mountains spend days with guns and may not be able to catch three or five wild boars.

When they arrived at Chu He's house, the three little guys Aiguo, Ailin and Aiqiu hadn't slept yet.

And Aimin and his sister Chu Yuan are actually there.

The second aunt was busy pouring water, and she heard Chu Yuan complain, "Big brother, I also took care of you in the days when you were sick, why do you have delicious food, and you only think about the two boys who love the country and the people?" ”

Chu was stunned for a moment, and looked at the country and the people with unkind eyes.

The two boys were startled.

In the past, the two of them were afraid of Chu Xiangqian, because he, who was the eldest brother, was really good at beating people.

Now that he saw Chu Xiangqian carrying the black bear back, the fear in his heart was even deeper.

Aimin hurriedly waved his hand, "Big brother, don't listen to my sister's nonsense, she just helped cook for two days when her aunt was busy." ”

Chu Yuan said without suffering, "Didn't I make the rice soup and medicine that the eldest brother drank a few days ago?" ”

"This, this", Aimin suddenly didn't know what to say.

Chu Xiangqian came to his senses at this time, and said to the sisters and brothers with a smile, "Okay, isn't it just a mouthful of meat, I originally planned to go up the mountain next time and send one to your house." ”

Seeing Chu Xiangqian say this, Chu Yuan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.

She didn't have to eat this bite of chicken and chicken soup, but she didn't call Aimin this cousin angrily, but she didn't call her.

made her feel that she was not valued, and she didn't even think of her as a sister, but as an outsider who was about to get married.

Now I heard Chu Xiangqian say that it was only because I only caught a pheasant this morning that I didn't send it to her house, so I was naturally embarrassed.

Besides, although Chu Yuan is a bit of a tiger, she is not a fool, the performance of the eldest brother in the past few days, maybe he will marry someone, and his father Chu Jiang will have to listen to his opinion.

Busy smirked at Chu Xiangqian.

Chu Xiangqian glared at this cousin, just scolding people for this little thing, it was really unnecessary.

turned his head and said to the second aunt, "Auntie, you tell me about the money and tickets spent on my father's funeral, and let Aiguo go to me tomorrow morning to get it." ”

The second aunt glanced at Chu He, and when she saw him showing a surprised expression, she knew that Chu Xiangqian didn't tell his second uncle because she was worried that Chu He would slap his swollen face and become fat.

Hurriedly looked at Chu Yuan, Chu Xiangqian reacted at this time, the second aunt had never read, let alone bookkeeping.

I can't even write a few.

At this time, the second uncle wanted to open his mouth to refuse, but was directly blocked by Chu Xiangqian.

One doesn't want to owe too much to the second uncle, and how can this kind of money not be repaid?

Besides, when it comes to rations, the brothers have to settle accounts.

Second, he doesn't want to be restrained by his second uncle in the future.

It's better to take the opportunity to create the fact that you are already in charge.

Three, it's not that I can't get by.

In the future, there may not be big money, but there will be no shortage of small money.

There is no need to embarrass the second uncle and second aunt, or even quarrel over rations.

"Okay, second uncle, I am now feeding the whole family and not hungry, you don't want to think about yourself and your second aunt, but also about Aiguo, Ailin and Xiaoqiu'er's rations."

After speaking, Chu Xiangqian smiled and said, "And I have the ability to eat and wear." After the age of 20, it is easy to marry a daughter-in-law. ”

After hearing this, everyone also had smiles on their faces.

Only after Chu Yuan laughed, he couldn't help but pout.

As an existence that has failed on several blind dates, Chu Yuan himself has little confidence in marrying a good family at this time.

It's not that she's ugly, it's really a good family condition, and after a little inquiry, I dislike her for being a big grin, not like a girl who is considerate and can take care of people.

The conditions are poor, not to mention Chu Yuan, her father Chu Jiang doesn't want the girl to marry and suffer.

It can only be dragged on.

Fortunately, Chu Yuan is only 17 years old, and he can delay it for a year or two after the New Year.

Seeing Chu looking forward at himself, Chu Yuan hurriedly stabilized his mind, thought about it carefully, and reported a series of numbers.

Chu Xiangqian was surprised that the eldest sister had a good memory, but she didn't say much.

In these years, praising the girl's good calculation ability is not necessarily a good thing.

Looking at the second uncle, Chu He thought carefully before nodding.

Chu Xiangqian secretly thought about it, his father still kept some money over the years.

Twenty-three dollars is not a lot of money, but there is a shortage of food stamps.

After all, guests don't bring their own rations, after all, people have to bring something when they come to the door.

When he was in a dilemma, he saw Chu He take out a stack of money tickets from his pocket.
