Seeing that Li Yuanchao, Zhang Haiyang and a group of people were all staying outside the nearby alley to chat, Chu Xiangqian did not step forward to greet them.

Just when he passed by on a bicycle, he nodded at Li Yuanchao and Zhang Haiyang, who had a bright smile on their faces after seeing him.

The two immediately understood.

When Chu Qianqian entered the street, people were divided into threes and twos, pretending to have something, and followed into the street compound in batches.

Chu Xiangqian sat in the guard room, chatting with Old Man Sun, beckoning to the disciples in the big courtyard who came in, and motioned for them to stay in the small canteen first.

It's just that what Chu Xiangqian didn't expect was that nearly 20 young people actually came this time.

The food prepared by the secret road today seems to be a little insufficient.

Half of the eldest child eats Lao Tzu to death, and if these fourteen, fifteen, sixteen or seventeen-year-old young people eat with their stomachs open, they may not be able to eat three or five nests and two catties of meat.

I could only sigh and say to Uncle Sun, "Uncle, it seems that I have to go and get some food back, otherwise the things I prepared today may not be enough for these boys." ”

Uncle Sun laughed, but he wasn't worried at all, anyway, before eating, someone would definitely send a big bowl of meat to the doorman first, just like the previous dinners.

Waving his hand at Chu Qianqian, "Go, go, I'll show you." ”

Chu Qianqian nodded, and went out to call Zhang Haiyang, Li Yuanchao and Zhong Yuemin over, "You greet your brother first, I let someone roast a whole sheep outside."

Look at the time, it's almost ready to be baked. I'll go get it back first, and you must not make trouble for me. ”

As soon as they heard that there was roasted whole sheep, Zhang Haiyang, Li Yuanchao and Zhong Yuemin couldn't help but swallow their saliva.

Zhang Haiyang hurriedly said, "Brother, don't worry, we will definitely wait quietly for you to come back." ”

The other two also nodded, "There is a roasted whole sheep to eat, who doesn't know the proportion, let's smoke him first." ”

Chu Xiangqian believed this, laughed, and rode his bicycle out to find a place to enter the novice village.

In the fire of the restaurant, a whole sheep with at least 70 catties of meat and bones was hung.

After waiting for half an hour, the sheep was already roasted on the outside and tender on the inside, and the meat was fragrant, so it was packed out of the novice village in a bamboo basket.

returned to the street compound and pulled a front leg to Uncle Sun.

Le's old man Sun's eyes glowed golden, grabbed the lamb's calf, pulled a piece of meat and put it in his mouth.

After chewing for a while, he gave Chu Xiangqian a thumbs up, "I didn't expect your kid to find someone to barbecue the master, how good his skills are." ”

Chu Xiangqian laughed, rode his bicycle into the yard, and as soon as he arrived at the small cafeteria, Zhang Haiyang and the others walked out quickly.

In an instant, they smelled the rich smell of barbecue, and they all swallowed saliva and stared at the bamboo basket.

Chu Xiangqian scolded a few words with a smile, and handed over the task of carrying the bamboo basket to Zhang Haiyang and the others, and a group of boys immediately cheered.

Carrying the whole sheep and hugging Chu Xiang to the small canteen.

As soon as I entered the house, I saw that two tables of meat dishes had been prepared.

Nan Yi, Liu Guangtian, and Yan Jiecheng, who had already fried the dishes, saw him come in and immediately got up to greet him.

Nanyi's arrogance in the end is also divided into people.

He didn't look down on Liu Guangtian and Yan Jiecheng, but he was very polite and eager to Chu Xiangqian.

After some politeness, Chu Xiangqian hurriedly asked everyone to sit.

Fortunately, two tables have been prepared tonight, and everyone can still sit down if they are squeezed.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian went out to eat, Li Yuanchao and Zhang Haiyang really did not lack wine at home.

More than a dozen people brought more than 20 bottles of wine.

Just saw the roasted whole sheep, stewed cow tail, cow hooves, pig's head meat, sheep's head meat and two big fish of five or six catties, no one had time to drink.

One by one, their mouths were full of oil, and when they were seven minutes full, they had the heart to drink.

The first first to pay tribute to Chu Xiangqian was naturally Chu Xiangqian, not only did he not refuse to come, but more than 20 cups went down, not to mention more than two catties.

But Chu Xiangqian was fine, and he went back one by one.

This is more than two catties, and some of the boys in the courtyard who saw Chu Xiangqian for the first time are admiring him now.

I didn't dare to find Chu Xiangqian to fight for wine again, but toasted each other, lest most of tonight's wine be drunk by Chu Xiangqian.

The meal was also eaten quickly, starting at 8 o'clock and ending before 10 o'clock.

But the stomachs that are eaten are round, not to mention the meat, the broth or something, and it is also eaten clean by the big guy with a nest of heads.

And the wine per capita is less than six or seven taels, which is just right.

When they left one by one, they thanked Chu Xiangqian vigorously.

Chu Xiangqian laughed, and as soon as he was happy, he said jokingly, "In the future, every year during the Chinese New Year, as long as you are free, my brother and I will invite you to have a good meal on the third day of junior high school."

It's like the big guys getting together and it's lively. ”

This proposal was instantly approved by everyone, and in the future, Dan Fan Chu will be in the capital during the New Year, so he will naturally be the organizer.

Even if he is not there in the future, Li Yuanchao and these people will spontaneously contribute money and goods to the party.

After sending most of the people away, Chu Xiangqian saw that Li Yuanchao hadn't left yet, and guessed that this kid should have something.

took out 5 food stamps of 2 catties and 3 yuan from his pocket and handed them to Nanyi.

Nan Yi is also not polite, food is not tobacco and alcohol, if he is polite today, then he will have to starve this month.

However, 10 catties of food stamps are indeed too much, and all I ate tonight is stick noodles and wotou, even if more than 20 half-sized children let go of eating, and after eating so much meat, they only ate more than 50 wowotou.

At most, it's only fourteen or fifteen catties of stick noodles.

There are four or five catties of white noodles enough to exchange for so many stick noodles.

Chu Xiangqian waved his hand, "Master Nan and Guangtian have such good craftsmanship, even if it is hard work." ”

Nan Yi said a few polite words, and saw that Chu Xiangqian really didn't care, so he accepted it with confidence.

Later, when I cleaned up the leftover dishes and chopsticks, I naturally didn't have the slightest intention of complaining.

Chu Xiangqian greeted the doorman Uncle Sun, and rode his bicycle out of the street compound with Li Yuanchao.

After walking for a few minutes, he said to Li Yuanchao with a smile, "Say something quickly, I still have to go home to accompany your sister-in-law." ”

Li Yuanchao smiled, "Brother, I'm 18 years old this Chinese New Year, and my family asked me if I wanted to go to the south to exercise." At any other time, I definitely don't want to leave the capital.

But didn't you say that you were transferred to the south at the beginning of last year, so I want to ask if you need someone to run errands there? ”

Chu Xiangqian was stunned for a moment, and secretly said that he could not be regarded as changing the trajectory of Li Yuanchao's life.

According to the TV series, when this kid got into the wind, he was still in his twenties and was still fooling around in the capital.

In the end, he was stabbed by the little bastard, and completely lost the face of the stubborn master, so he had to go out of Beijing to serve as a soldier.

After the 80s, the original scenery was no longer there, but I had to beg for a little bit of Yuemin.

Of course, the so-called begging for Lu Yuemin is only because many of his father's subordinates were officials in the south.

In order to make money, this is the purpose of wooing this Yuemin, the purpose is nothing more than to rely on the relationship to get approvals.

But after all, there is a lot of difference from the response of the young people.

And make money by making criticism, just think about it, in fact, you can't make much, and then it will disappear from everyone, and there will be no more scenery at all.

Even if one is not good, maybe if you don't say anything about it, you will pit your father.

Chu Xiangqian thought for a moment and then shook his head, "I want you to help me, but my job is a bit special." It's not that you can do it because you can be trusted.

Got it? ”

Chu Xiangqian's words are definitely the opposite, no matter how righteous Li Yuanchao is, Chu Xiangqian will not let him follow him.

If you really want to talk about trust, Xue Jianguo and Xue Jianrong brothers, as the eldest brother and second uncle, are the most trustworthy people for themselves.

Li Yuanchao immediately mistakenly thought that Chu Xiangqian's work was confidential work, and it was also a unit with extremely high personal ability requirements.

Scratching his head, he wanted to say that he could do it, but when he thought of the danger of special work that he had heard from his family and relatives in the past, he quickly retreated.

"Brother, which department do you say I should go to?"

Chu Xiangqian looked at Li Yuanchao suspiciously, shouldn't this kind of thing be asked to his parents?

Li Yuanchao probably guessed Chu Xiangqian's thoughts, and said with a helpless smile, "My dad wants me to be a soldier, but I know my own business."

In terms of brains, I am worse than them in the ocean, but in terms of hardship, I am really inferior to them. ”

Chu Xiangqian laughed after hearing this, this kid can say this to himself, it seems that he is indeed convinced of himself, and he is a little bit of a big brother.

"If you want to be stable, you can find a big field to be a worker, and work hard for a few years to work slowly. If you want to take a career in office, then take the initiative to ask to go to the county seat or even the township to mix qualifications.

With your family background, as long as you really make some achievements, not only do you not have to worry about being robbed of credit, but your achievements will also be magnified.

Twenty years later, you will only be 38 years old, and you may be able to return to the capital, and you will be able to return to the center from now on. ”

As long as Li Yuanchao can really break all the way back to the capital from the township, the efforts and fortunes are actually indispensable.

Of course, his efforts and achievements will be easier to be appreciated by his boss than ordinary people, and the road will be better than ordinary people.

Li Yuanchao hesitated after hearing this, and Chu knew at a glance that this kid had a high spirit, but his heart was not good.

It's kind of a bit of a desire to get something for nothing.

It seems that a person's life is actually predestined at a very early age.

Replaced by Zhang Haiyang, Chu Xiangqian felt that the kid would definitely not scruple about this and that, and there was a high probability that he would really listen to Chu Xiangqian and go to the township by himself.

As for Yue Yuemin, Chu Xiangqian didn't care about him at all. That kid is still in his thirties and forties, maybe it's okay to be a friend, but don't expect this kid to be a little brother all the time.

Maybe when, he fulfilled his original promise, and when he turned around, this kid ran around in the name of freedom.

However, when it comes to trust, Yue Yuemin is indeed the most trustworthy.

It's just that it's too early, these kids are only fourteen or fifteen, seventeen or eighteen years old, and it's a bit nonsense to talk about the future with them.

Chu Qianqian patted Li Yuanchao's shoulder, "Listen to me, go to the township below to practice." Don't look at you as the head of a group of disciples in the compound now.

But after ten or twenty years, you can't be famous, you're nothing.

And a walk down there will be good for you in the future. ”

Li Yuanchao still knows a lot about this, at least he knows that children from ordinary families, from the moment they are born, it is more difficult for them to go up than people like themselves.

Li Yuanchao couldn't help but nod his head at this time, and then asked, "Then should I go to the south or the north?" ”

Chu Xiangqian just wanted to say south, but before the words came out, he reacted instantly.

Don't look at twenty or thirty years later, the south is the tide of development, but now, the north is the place where it is easier to make achievements.

——

After separating from Li Yuanchao, it took Chu Xiangqian half an hour before returning to Qianmen's house.

Along the way, Chu Xiangqian simply walked and pushed the car, thinking a lot, but in the end he rejected it.

I don't have to do anything, and I can't do anything.

It's better to stand aside and live by yourself, because without yourself, the Celestial Empire can be revived in the future.

No matter how much you do yourself, it will seem redundant, and if you can't keep it, you will do bad things with good intentions.

When the wind calms down in the future, and then comes back as an investor, that's the time to show your strengths.

When I got home, the three daughters-in-law and Ehime were really playing cards again, Chu Xiangqian was not only not angry, but felt that he was making so much money, wasn't it just for the sake of a better life for his relatives?

The three daughters-in-law can enjoy life without worries, and that is the reward for their efforts.

Aiko, Aimin, and Ailin didn't play cards anymore, but they gathered around Ehime to look at the cards, and helped with ideas while watching.

When everyone saw him walk in, they all greeted him one by one, but after greeting, they saw that he didn't look like he had drunk too much at all, and their attention was immediately on the card game again.

Chu Xiangqian saw that his sister must have lost miserably tonight.

Walking behind Ehime, just looking at it, I guessed that the more this girl lost, the more angry she became, and she would rather be a big card than a small card.

The more this happens, the worse you lose.

Chu Xiangqian smiled, swept the expressions of the three daughters-in-law, and quickly saw that Hong Kong students should have won a lot.

He smiled and asked, "Are you hungry, do you want me to make you some supper?" ”

Unexpectedly, this proposal was immediately approved by everyone, Chu Xiangqian shook his head with a smile, and went out to the kitchen.

I wanted to get some mutton soup, but as soon as I passed by the house of the three sisters of Zhao Di, I saw Zhao Di open the door.

Chu waved his hand forward, "You sleep with yours, don't worry about me." ”

Where is Zhao Di willing to listen, beckoning Laidi and Pandi, it didn't take long to wrap more than 100 wontons.

After eating supper, seeing that it was almost 12 o'clock, Chu Xiangqian ordered everyone to go to bed early.

Although Xue Jinglan and the others were still a little unhappy, they also obediently went to wash.

The night passed, and the next morning, Xue Jinglan, Fei Fei and Hong Kong Sheng slept again until more than 10 o'clock in the morning before getting up yawning.

Needless to say, I must have played a friendly match with Chu Xiangqian last night, and I was tired.

——

Before I knew it, it was the eighth day of the Lunar New Year, and the second uncle, the second aunt, the third uncle, and the patriotic and patriotic people went to work as early as the fourth day of the Lunar New Year.

Either take the three daughters-in-law to wander around and see the scenery, or go to the yard of Beach Street and Mao'er Hutong to play poker with Lou Xiaomoth and Qin Huairu.

On this day, I just messed around with Qin Huairu in the courtyard of Mao'er Hutong for an afternoon, and returned to the Qianmen compound to have dinner with my three daughters-in-law.

But I didn't want to see Xue Jianguo and Xue Jianrong sitting in the living room of the main house in the middle courtyard as soon as I entered the courtyard.
