Druid's Country Retirement

Chapter 214
Although the rural feasts are relatively aboriginal and noisy, they are full of strong rural family affection, a kind of rustic and simple temperament, full of earthy and original folk flavor.

During the banquet, men sit at the same table, women and children sit at the same table, exchanging greetings loudly, eating large pieces of meat, and drinking in large bowls.

The wine glass is filled with the sticky sunshine of the countryside.

Men in groups of three or four yelled, punched and guessed. If they won, they were proud of themselves;

The women ate, chatted, and brought vegetables to their children. The children were full of greasy food, for fear that they would miss a bite.

The upper table is a big table.

In addition to the Li family, there are three couples, Li Huaizhong and Xu Dalang.

Because the two elders, father and mother, were sitting at the table, the atmosphere at the table was a little deserted.

Don't look at the group of fathers who are calm on the surface but anxious in their hearts. They finally got permission from Lafayette to drink, but no one toasted him.

Damn it.

Are you really here for dinner?

Looking at the table next door, everyone was blushing from drinking, drinking five and six.

Look at you again, it's the same as eating vegetarian food in a Buddhist hall.

Winking at the eldest son-in-law and the second son-in-law, they all pretended to be blind.

Li Huaizhong was drinking, but he kept toasting to that Xu Dalang, and you are a mother to toast me!

The remaining three don't know each other, especially the fat man, who eats so heartily, have you never eaten in eight lifetimes?
Just when the old man was full of complaints, Li Hongbing took the blind man and the silly boy to the seats and sat down.

Looked around the crowd.

Picking up the wine glass, "Come on, everyone is not an outsider, let's open the door for a drink."

With the participation of Li Hongbing, the atmosphere on the table suddenly became active.

They all raised their glasses.

The old man couldn't wait to take a sip, and after drinking the Qinggan Erqu wine, a full smile appeared on his face.

"What kind of wine is this? It's dull. The food is good, but the wine is not good. I can drink 3 bottles casually." Fatty Ma drank the Erdaoqu in his glass in one gulp, and said with some regret.

Hou San and Queen, who were also used to drinking foreign wine, did not approve of this kind of sweet and light Erdaoqu, but in order to save Li Hongbing's face, they hypocritically praised the local wine, which had a special characteristic.

However, as former victims, Sanpao and Xu Dalang didn't say a word, while the father, brother-in-law and Li Huaizhong who accompanied them just watched the fun.

Ah!
Li Hongbing's brows twitched, with a faint smile on his face.

Seeing this scene, the second sister knew that as long as the younger brother shook his eyebrows, he was either lying or acting as a demon.

Someone is going to be unlucky!
"An Gang, go get the box Erdaoqu."

No one responded, Li Hongbing repeated it again.

Everyone at the table looked at each other with bewildered faces. There is no one named An Gang at this table.

Shan Xing covered her mouth and snickered, and looked at the silly boy, "Silly boy, your grandfather asked you to get the wine."

oh oh oh! !

Everyone was embarrassed, and they were used to being called fools. They didn't realize it for a while, especially the old man, who chose the name himself, and took a glass of wine with a guilty conscience to punish himself.

Sha Wa put down the pork knuckle, strode to the place where the banquet supplies were kept, and returned with two boxes of wine under one arm due to his size.

"An Sheng, go and put three bottles of wine in front of each of the three brothers and sisters, and pour some wine by the way." Li Hongbing arranged with a smile.

Knowing that An Sheng was calling him, the blind man got up and respectfully placed three bottles of Erdaoqu in front of the Queen, Hou San and Fatty Ma.

Li Hongbing took a bottle of Erdaoqu, unscrewed the cap, and poured it all into a bowl.

Just enough to fill a bowl with a bottle.

What is there to say about this low-alcohol rice wine? I can blow a bottle of vodka.

The three looked at each other, exchanged information with their eyes, and nodded calmly.

Have a drink with Li Hongbing and give him some flair.

"Come on, I'm a guest from afar. I respect you for a bowl." Li Hongbing didn't say much, picked up the bowl and drank it in one gulp.

The queen, Hou San, and Fatty Ma didn't hesitate, they also picked up the bowl to clean it up, and turned the bowl over after drinking, indicating that there was not a drop left.

Somewhat provocative.

Li Hongbing smiled, he likes this kind of person who is not afraid of death.

Let the blind man continue pouring wine.

He picked up a bowl again, "You are guests, and we have a rule in the mountains, when guests come to drink three cups."

After finishing speaking, I was bored again.

Not to be outdone, the Queen, Hou San, and Fatty Ma picked up the bowl and did it again.

The corners of Xu Dalang's eyebrows twitched as he watched, recalling his ugly appearance after being drunk, he knew how lethal this mild rice wine was. The Queen brought the three of them by himself.

I wanted to speak softly to Li Hongbing, but I could tell from his expression that this matter would not end without drinking, so I could only silently take out my phone and turn on the camera function.

Erdaoqu is an upgraded version of Double Qujiu. It has stronger stamina and is easier to drink. Coupled with the sweet taste, when you feel excited, you can no longer control yourself.

After two catties and two songs, a small cool wind blows on the face, and the wine is strong.

The Queen, Hou San, and Fatty Ma's expressions gradually became dull, and they couldn't focus their eyes when looking at people.

"Hou San, don't...don't shake!!" Fatty Ma shook his body and said with a big tongue.

"I that. That."

Pfft!
Hou San rolled his eyes, his legs went limp, and he collapsed on the ground.

The queen was also swaying, and she seemed to be on top, Xu Dalang hurriedly got up to support the queen, and the queen also fell into Xu Dalang's arms, crying loudly and talking drunkenly.

"Sister. Husband. Brother-in-law, don't... want. me."

Swish!
Everyone on the table looked at Xu Dalang in unison.

Brother-in-law and sister-in-law!

To want me, or not to me.

I have to say, this important word is used very cleverly, it represents several meanings?

Being looked at by so many people with strange eyes, it felt as if ten thousand wild horses were running past in my heart, and the queen in my arms was like a ticking time bomb.

"It's not what you think, her sister left because of an accident, and then she"

Everyone said in unison again, and their eyes became more playful.

Xu Dalang jumped anxiously.

Suddenly realized, why did I have to explain?

Immediately, he hugged the Queen by the waist and asked Li Hongbing, "Is there any room available?"

Li Hongbing picked up the bowl of Meimei and took a sip of wine, and said with a half-smile, "Blind man, take your brother to the wooden house to rest."

"Let me take them there!" Shan Xing got up and led Xu Dalang into the yard.

"Hey! What about these two?" Li Hongbing pointed at Fatty Ma and Hou San who were drunk.

Xu Dalang didn't look back, and left a heartless sentence.

"Bury it anywhere."

Buried!

I really think this is a den of bandits!
Li Hongbing shook his head.

There are a lot of people coming to the house today, the old house only has two side rooms and four wooden houses.

I shared a room with Shan Xing, my parents, my elder sister and my second sister, my third sister, and the blind man and the idiot. There was really no place to live, so I had to wrong Ma Fatty and Hou San to live temporarily. new warehouse.

Anyway, drunk people ask for samples wherever they live.

The four of Xu Dalang were sent away, and the rest of them chatted and drank lightly. The old man chatted with Li Huaizhong about the latest changes in the village, and Li Hongbing chatted with his two brothers-in-law about Qixiangsan.

suddenly.

There was a burst of firecrackers on Fenghuang Slope.

On the table, the Li family looked up at the top of the mountain and looked at each other. Who was burning paper and firing cannons for the old man?

After a while.

From a distance, I saw a group of people walking down from the top of the mountain.

Li Hongbing glanced around, and the person walking in the front was the Shan Ye who sold him a wolfhound at the market.

It seems that the Luo family brothers in Shilipu were also tied up by this old man.

I even took a video myself before releasing the person.

The old man stood up suddenly, his slightly drunk expression instantly became extremely excited, he raised and lowered his hands, put them down and raised them, and there was nowhere to put them in excitement.

Li Hongbing was very curious.

This mountain master may be an old acquaintance with grandpa, but there is no need for father to be so happy!
Bing walked to his mother and asked in a low voice.

"Mom, have you seen this mountain master?"

Mom frowned, nodded and shook her head.

"Yes, I have a very good relationship with your father. At that time, your grandma was still there, and she would come to the house every year to pay New Year's greetings. I haven't seen you since your grandfather left."

The old man couldn't wait to meet the guests, so he called his family to the intersection, "Boss, second child, third son, come quickly."

When Shan Ye walked, his eyes looked ahead, his head was held high, his breath was windy, his arms swung wildly, and five or six young men in blue jackets behind him carried the burden, and all of them wore leggings without exception.

As soon as the two sides met, the old man rushed forward like brothers who had been separated for many years reunited, and grabbed Shan Ye's arm.

"Brother Shan, I'm willing to show up, I miss you so much."

The icy chill on Shan Ye's face melted away slowly as if touching a flame, with a smile in his eyes, he raised his hand and patted the old man's arm.

"I haven't seen you for a few years. You are much older. You have nothing to do to exercise more."

"How many years? At least 20 years, once the old man leaves, you will disappear." The old man complained angrily, then turned to the eldest sister and second sister, Li Hongbing yelled, "Come and call Shan Ye, I have no eyesight strength."

"Shan Ye!" The three siblings hurriedly greeted each other.

Master Shan looked at the three siblings with a gratified expression on his face, especially staying on Li Hongbing's face for a long time, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said to his father.

"The little hozen is terrible, and turned the village upside down. This is the blood of the old man, much stronger than you, the father."

The old man justified, "I dozed off when I saw those square characters, what can I do!"

"You!" Master Shan shook his head and laughed.

"Don't stand still, hurry up and sit down, have a drink and rest your legs." Mom hurriedly interjected.

It was only then that the old man came to his senses, and took Master Shan's arm, "Yes, yes, I am dizzy with joy, it will take a long time to come from Qinglong Mountain."

Master Shan shook his head and smiled, "It's still the same as before. It's rough and rough, and I'm used to walking on mountain roads. Today I'm here to look for the red soldiers. What's the good thing about having a banquet at home?"

"The Li family has a baby." The old man chuckled, pointing to the blind man and the silly boy behind him, "The red soldiers took these two poor children into the Li family."

Master Shan looked the blind man and the silly boy up and down, squinted his eyes and nodded.

"It's two pieces of good material. I left in a hurry and didn't bring any good things. I just took some mountain goods. Don't be disgusted."

Say it.

Those five or six young men with leggings came forward with their burdens, and lifted the fertilizer bags that were covering the baskets.

The baskets are full of dried rabbits, dried chicken, walnuts, wild fruits, dried mushrooms and some wild herbs.

It adds up to four or five hundred catties.

Li Hongbing hurriedly beckoned someone to take over the burden, then politely invited Master Shan to his seat, and asked Master Su to serve another table of dishes.

When the villagers saw a group of mountain people coming, they couldn't help being secretly surprised. They didn't expect that Lao Li's family had something to do with the mountain people.

They ran all the way from the mountains to give gifts.

In the forest area, the villagers and the mountain people, one makes a living by farming, and the other relies on the mountains for food.

Basically there is very little communication between the two.

People in the city think that rural people are earthy, but rural people think that mountain people are the real earth. They live in deep mountains and old forests, isolated from the world, and live a poor life, no different from savages.

"An Gang, An Sheng, come here and kowtow to Master Shan." The old man shouted loudly.

The blind man and the idiot were also unambiguous, picked up two bowls full of wine, and plopped down in front of the mountain master.

"Master Shan, please drink."

The old man smiled heartily, took it and drank it down, looked at the two people in front of him, his eyes were piercing, and said in a light and heavy tone, "When you enter the Li family, you are the Li family. If you know that you two have corrupted the Li family Feng, I will clean up the house for the Li family, get up."

The blind man and the silly boy stood up obediently. Although Master Shan only said a word, they felt another taste from the words.

Three rounds of wine, five flavors of food.

Seeing that Lord Shan was a little tired, the father hurriedly got up and greeted him to go to the yard to rest for a while. The two oldest ones got up, and the others also got up to accompany him.

into the courtyard.

Looking at the renovated old house, Master Shan said to himself with a little emotion on his face.

"It's good to turn it over, so as not to make people feel uncomfortable after reading too much."

Oh oh oh!
Smelling the smell of strangers, the wolf dogs ran out of their dens, and stared at Master Shan from a distance, their eyes flickering with confusion.

Why does this person have a familiar smell.

"Hey, the little guys have grown so big?"

Master Shan also saw the four wolf dogs, his eyes were also full of doubts, and he could recognize from their appearance that they were the four wolf dogs sold to Li Hongbing.

But in terms of time, they can grow halfway through the sky, which is not bad. Now they are as big as calves, as if they have eaten pig feed.

Ow!

Dahua recognized Master Shan first, and rushed towards him excitedly, and the other wolfhounds also smelled the smell and followed behind.

The wolf dogs whined happily around Master Shan.

In the crowd, a young mountain man saw the wolf dog and exclaimed in a low voice, "They are the cubs of rhubarb, why are they so big?"

Master Shan didn't want to explore the reason why the wolf dogs grow so fast, but squatted down and hugged the wolf dogs one by one,
These wolf dogs were delivered by themselves, and they have the same status as sons in their hearts. Seeing them grow up safely, they feel very comfortable.

The silly boy and the blind man brought tables and chairs, and the mountain apricot brought tea and fruit.

After calling Master Shan to sit down, the old man asked doubtfully, "Brother Shan, how do you know that the Li family is accepting An Sheng today, and An Gang is just getting started."

Master Shan caressed Dahua's shiny fur, and glanced at Li Hongbing.

"I don't know, I came here today to invite Dr. Li specially. Dr. Li is very airy, so I won't accept it several times."

what?
How many times has Brother Shan invited his son?

The old man froze for a moment, then turned his head and yelled at the dumbfounded Li Hongbing.

"Bastard, kneel down."

Ah!
Li Hongbing was really dumbfounded. He had never seen his father get so angry. Even if he used 502 glue to block the keyholes of all the classroom doors in the school, he didn't blush. wild.

"Get down on your knees." It's rare for the mother not to say something nice to her son, but to persuade her son instead.

Anna got into Shan Xing's arms in fright, and the others were also dumbfounded. They had a good chat just now, but they turned their faces at once.

Li Hongbing stepped forward and knelt on the ground with a plop.

The old man was trembling with anger, ran to the orchard and broke a branch, walked up to his son and gestured, "You can do it now, Dr. Li, you are so bullish, you dare not even answer Brother Shan's call, I slap you!" Die you a disrespectful thing."

"It's enough to say a few words, why do you want to start?" Shan Ye grabbed the branch in the father's hand and threw it aside, then pulled Li Hongbing to comfort him, "You don't know those old sesame seeds and rotten millet in the past, don't give birth to your father angry."

"Don't dare, Master Shan, I did something wrong." Li Hongbing could feel the status of Master Shan in the Li family, especially after his father met Master Shan.

Uncle Luo of Shilipu, the Chen family, Lord Shan, grandpa, and the samurai sword, all things merged together in his mind, and it seemed that some very important things were involved.
