Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 163 Showdown
After Xu Dalang finished the phone call, he saved his arm from the queen with a scratchy tooth.

At the same time, the phone rang.

The debt collection message came.

Xu Dalang readily transferred the money for the Guyang Pills, a total of 50 pills, totaling 50.

After transferring the money, he glanced at the queen.

"How many jars do you want? Hurry up and tell me, dignified angel investors still care about that little money, and buying a set of skin keys will cost more than that."

"I'm not trying to save more dowry, or your Li family will say I'm stingy." The queen gave her a sideways glance.

"You can pull it down! Hurry up and say you want a few cans, and later that grandson will block me again."

Seeing Brother Da Lang's evasive expression, the queen sighed silently, "10 cans, I will transfer the money to you."

"Let's go, I have nothing now, only money." Xu Dalang indifferently entered a line into WeChat, and at the same time transferred 30 to Li Hongbing.

Do it all.

The car suddenly fell silent.

It's been a long time.

Xu Dalang's tone was bleak, "Yinyin, you are not young anymore, find someone you like to marry!"

Uncharacteristically, the Queen roared almost hysterically, "If I don't want to marry, I will marry you. My sister has been gone for 15 years. She cannot be resurrected after death. Before she died, I promised my sister to take care of you and keep an eye on you."

Xu Dalang also broke out, his handsome facial features became distorted due to anger, and he slammed his fist on the steering wheel, "Enough, your sister is your sister, you are you, I can't delay you."

"I'm happy to let you delay, you don't care."

After finishing speaking, the queen opened the car door and left, leaving Xu Dalang sitting helplessly in the car alone.

Every time they meet, it will end with the same plot. The two may not know that this kind of quarrel has gradually become an indispensable part of life.

Xu Dalang screamed as he clutched his swollen hands.

"Made, it hurts so much!"

……

When Li Hongbing received the second payment for medicine, he was already sitting in the yard eating.

The Eight Immortals table is placed under the old oak tree.

Wang Hai was a guest, and was arranged by Li Hongbing to sit at the table, while he accompanied his father and eldest brother-in-law.

The blind man and the silly boy were still carrying stones, Li Hongbing waved, and two big white cockatoos flapped their wings and landed on the table, tilting their heads.

"Da Bao, Er Bao, go find the blind man and the fool, and let everyone come back for dinner."

"over."

The two parrots nodded and bowed, said something strange that they didn't know where they learned, and flapped their wings and flew out of the yard.

When Xu Dalang left, everyone gave a mobile phone, but in the end only Sister Cui used it, and the others left it in the cabinet for ashes.

Li Hongbing had no choice but to use animal communication, not to mention that the two parrots not only know how to sing, but also are very good at recognizing people, finding people, and sending messages.

Although the signal is connected in the village, the way of life has not changed much.

Traffic still depends on walking, communication depends on roaring, and law and order depends on dogs.

For the villagers, mobile phones are an extremely expensive luxury, not to mention that they have to pay phone bills every month, which is like cutting their own flesh with a knife.

If you need to make a phone call, you can just go to the village committee to make a call, and you don't need to spend money.

As a result, the two parrots became full-time correspondents. Whenever Li Hongbing wanted to find people in the village, he relied on the parrots to spread the word. Over time, the parrots basically recognized all the people in the village.

Not for a while.

The parrot returned to the yard and ate the walnuts rewarded by Li Hongbing.

Dad and the others looked at it strangely, such a smart parrot is really rare.

soon.

Blind Man and Sha Wa took Da Kui, Tie Zhu, Fu Sheng and Shui Sheng into the courtyard and greeted them from a distance.

"Grandpa Guoqing returned to the village without saying a word."

"That's right, I just finished my work, and I'm covered in ashes and bubbles."

"Uncle Hongbing, pick some cucumbers from your vegetable patch and eat them."

Li Hongbing stood up and greeted him, "Eat, eat whatever you want, I'll wait for you."

When the old man returned to the village, Li Hongbin was naturally not the biggest elder in the village, and now this honor fell on the old man.

After greeting.

Everyone sat down around the table, sister Cui, Shan Xing, and second sister in the kitchen brought plates of dishes to the table, and my mother also joined in the fun and came out to serve the dishes.

When everyone saw it, they all stood up except the old man.

"Yunhua milk, how can I let you serve the dishes yourself, I will come and I will come."

"That's right, the elders serve the younger ones, that's driving me away."

My mother was very satisfied with everyone's attitude, and said with a smile, "Sit down, sit down, eat casually, don't pay too much attention."

Seeing that everyone at the table was restrained because of his appearance, "Eat first, I'll go to the kitchen to see Nier."

Say goodbye to mom.

Only then did the atmosphere recover, and each of them chatted with their own people.

Li Hongbing looked at Fu Sheng, "How about the ox-wheeled cart?"

"It's very neat. Pulling a cart full of stones is like playing with it. We don't need to push it behind. It's much better than the old scalper at Uncle Daquan's house." Fu Sheng said with a relaxed expression.

Da Kui took over the conversation, "This morning, on the way to work, I met Uncle Daquan. He said that the old scalper had rested, and asked when he would come to pull the stone, but I didn't say anything."

Caogou Village is just that big!
There are only so many people.

Farting can be heard by the whole village.

What happened in the small square at the entrance of the village spread throughout the village in just one cigarette.

Uncle Daquan chewed the tongue of Uncle Hongbing by name, and was caught by Uncle Hongbing, which made him feel ashamed.

Who is Uncle Hongbing, the only village doctor in the village, people from every household have seen him, and he has not confiscated the money to build schools and repair street lights.

Going forward, when the Li family's old house cleaned the canals, they were paid enough wages, and they ate big meat twice a day, which was very benevolent.

After getting the benefits, he even gossips about Uncle Red Soldier, and looks like a wolf with white eyes.

Do you like to gossip?

Now everyone in the village is chewing on Uncle Daquan's tongue, from grandparents to children, from old to young, and none of them have stopped.

Now he is licking his face and eating grass again.

"They're all from fellow villagers, so there's no overnight enmity." Li Hongbing said that he didn't hold any grudges, but raised his wine glass and touched Dakui.

Anyone here who is not sensible, seeing Li Hongbing's actions, knows that this beam is considered to be tied.

The big guy didn't mention it, and changed the subject to chat with his father.

It's nothing more than those old sayings that have been said countless times over and over again, such as those things that have changed a lot in the city and the village is half dead.

Dad really enjoyed this feeling.

In the city, I have no status at all, and my old lady treats me like an iron pot every now and then, making noises over and over again.

Back in the village was different.

When everyone saw him, he was very polite, and he took the initiative to smoke, say hello, and say some nice words.

My body feels light after listening to it.

Because we still have to pull stones in the afternoon, we didn't drink a lot of wine, and everyone only drank a bowl.

After lunch, Wang Hai wanted to go to Wuyaling to collect wind. He said that qingmao was a special-grade stone in the market. Going to see the place of origin might add some new ideas to the design of the new house.

Those who should collect folk songs should collect folk songs, and those who should work should go to work.

Now only the Li family is left in the old house.

Li Hongbing pushed his father and mother on the chairs, and asked his eldest brother-in-law and second sister to sit aside.

"San'er, what are you doing?"

Father, mother, eldest brother-in-law, and second sister are at a loss.

Li Hongbing looked serious, and beckoned to the blind and foolish children beside him, "Come here, kneel down."

tom!tom!
The blind man and the silly boy knelt heavily in front of the Eight Immortals table.

The mother stood up in fright, but was held back by the father, "Sit down and listen to what San'er has to say."

Could it be that the father's domineering side leaked once, and the mother obediently returned to the chair.

Li Hongbing walked up to the blind man and the silly boy, "Father, Mom, I want to tell you something today. You have seen the blind man and the silly boy before. I plan to take them into Li's house. The eldest brother-in-law and the second sister will do it." a witness."

Into the Li family?
The four people behind the Eight Immortals table had different expressions, but they all turned their attention to the old man.

After all, the Li family is still in charge of the father.

To accept two people with foreign surnames into the Li family, the old man must nod.

"San'er, are you serious?" Dad asked.

Li Hongbing nodded and pointed at the blind man, "The blind man has congenital white eyes, was abandoned by his parents when he was born, and was picked up by Uncle Dahai in the market. A few years ago, Uncle Dahai was sick and passed away, and the blind man became an orphan. I grew up eating hundreds of meals in the village."

After all, he pointed at the silly boy again.

"The idiot is a child of Ziqiang. When he was a child, he was bitten by a grasshopper. In order to earn money for medical treatment, Ziqiang and his wife went to the mountains to pick goods during the rainy season. They were washed away by the mountain torrents, and everyone who found them was blown away. Only this poor man was left. baby."

"The two of them were poor, but they are pure in nature, support each other, and the villagers take care of them. They have never done anything harmful to nature, so I plan to take these two children into the Li family."

Father and mother left the village a long time ago, and some older people in the village still have memories, but the younger generations don’t know each other, let alone blind and stupid children. , one wears sunglasses in broad daylight, with a straight face, and the other is as strong as a bull, with beards like wanted criminals.

It turned out that the two poor children, especially the old lady, had been brooding about the past of raising the youngest son in the countryside. Hearing the life experience of the blind and silly children directly touched the mother's love, tears flowed, and the second sister also burst into tears.

The old man asked in a deep voice, "Think it over clearly, let them get started, and they will be the Li family in the future. Those who want to be included in the genealogy will get points for everything they should have."

Don't think that the old man said this directly.

This is the case in rural areas, where patriarchal thinking is extremely serious, coupled with the deep-rooted thinking of raising children to protect the elderly in rural areas, men and women in the family must be clearly distinguished.

Especially after the elderly have lived for a hundred years, the family property is not only inherited by the son, but also inherited by the son and daughter-in-law. The daughter is also the daughter-in-law of another family.

So all along, rural areas have followed this rule.

What the father is worried about is that the blind man and the idiot entered the Li family, that is, they are members of the Li family. After he left, the blind man and the idiot would naturally have the qualifications to distribute the inheritance, and the house would be disturbed.

Li Hongbing understood what his father meant.

In his opinion, these are not important. Some old traditions can be continued, and some are unnecessary. As long as brothers are respectful, sisters love each other, and parents are filial, it is enough. Any inheritance is just a cloud.

"I've figured it out."

"That's fine, I'll recognize these two children, so what kind of seniority will I be your younger brother?" The father's expression was as uncomfortable as eating Xiang, and he really didn't know whether he was happy or crying after having two more sons.

Li Hongbing was the first to refuse.

According to this calculation, there will be no chaos.

"No, according to the nephew, it's the Li family name."

With this argument, the old man felt much more at ease, and immediately nodded in agreement.

"Okay, just do it."

Li Hongbing immediately said to the two younger brothers, "Grandpa, grandma, eldest uncle and second aunt serve tea and kowtow."

tom tom tom!
tom tom tom!
The blind man and the silly boy kowtowed three times in a row, their foreheads turned red.

The mother and the second sister hurriedly got up and helped them, "You two silly children, why are you knocking so hard, get up quickly."

At this time.

Shan Xing and Sister Cui came out with teacups, the younger brothers took the teacups, walked to the table respectfully, bent down and served tea with both hands.

"Grandpa, grandma drink tea."

"Eldest uncle, second aunt, drink tea."

The four cheerfully took the teacups, took a sip, groped in their pockets, and complained to Li Hongbing at the same time.

"You boy, if you don't say anything about such a big thing in advance, you won't be ready to get the red envelope."

The eldest brother-in-law was straightforward, and directly took out his handbag, took out four stacks of unopened hundred-yuan bills, and handed them to his parents and second sister.

"Mom and Dad, I have them here. Hongying was worried that San'er would not be able to eat well and dress well in the village, so she specially asked me to send some money here, just to borrow flowers to offer Buddha."

Li Hongbing quit after hearing this, "Brother-in-law, this is the pocket money my sister gave me."

"What is your money? This is the entry money for blind men and foolish children." The mother took the money and stuffed it directly into the blind man's hands. After speaking, she frowned, "These two names are not good. Change to a more grandiose name, old guy, what do you think!"

"That's right! You're right." The old man immediately revealed his original shape after his domineering side leaked, and he nodded and bowed in cooperation.

"By the way, father, there is one more thing." Li Hongbing thought of something, and just finished speaking, he heard his father support the table with a thud.

Anything else?
One thing after another, you are a wave!

Counting on my fingers, how many things have happened since the divorce.

My heart can't stand you, I'm afraid I won't last until the day Nier grows up and gets married.

With the help of the second sister, the father stood up, stared at his son with resentful eyes, and squeezed his voice through his teeth.

"What are you talking about!!"

"Well, when a blind person or an idiot enters the Li family, is there a banquet to be held? Please invite everyone in the village to come out and be a witness, otherwise people will say that our Li family can't do things."

The old man pondered for a moment, then nodded, "It's fine. I'll check the almanac when I go back, and choose a good day. If I have to do it, I'll do it."

After the matter of the two boys getting started was resolved, Li Hongbing was relieved a lot, and he didn't wait to breathe a sigh of relief.

He was stopped by the old lady and the second sister aggressively, one pinched his ears, the other pinched his waist, and dragged him into the room.

After Shan Xing and Cui Jie saw it, there was a hint of worry on their faces, but they were helpless.

"Mom, Second Sister, can you take it easy?"

Li Hongbing was pressed in the chair, looked at the two big tigers in front of him, and shrank his neck.

"Stinky boy, what's the matter with those two people?"

Li Hongbing pretended to ask questions knowingly, and blinked, "What two people, the blind man and the idiot, can't explain everything clearly."

They are all living at home, how dare they pretend to be stupid!
The old woman was furious, and grabbed her son's ear again, "Don't be sloppy, am I asking about blind people and idiots? I'm asking about Shan Xing and Teacher Cui, what is your relationship?"

Oh!
Li Hongbing suddenly realized, "So you said that the two of them have that kind of relationship, you have all seen it."

hiss!
Before the words fell, the second sister twisted his ears again, and Li Hongbing gritted his teeth in pain.

"Take it easy, San'er is in pain." The mother quickly slapped the second sister's hand away, rubbed Li Hongbing's ears distressedly, and said earnestly, "San'er! Tell mom, which one do you like? You can’t have both, it’s against the law.”

"I've heard about Shan Xing. Her family members are all donkeys, but now they have injuries on their legs and face, and you will have to take care of them in the future."

Ugh!
The more melancholy the mother said, the more she couldn't help but let out a long sigh, couldn't help but pat Li Hongbing on the head, and said angrily.

"Teacher Cui was also your teacher, so I can't talk to others, that brat is really worrying."
