Druid's Country Retirement

The brothers-in-law bought their own courtyard at the east end of the village. There are five units in total, three in the front and two in the back. Each courtyard covers an area of ​​half an acre, has four rooms, and a vegetable patch. Three of the courtyards have been converted into cooperative supermarkets.

Find the key from the door and open the door.

The yard is still newly renovated, waiting for the new owner to arrive.

The two brothers-in-law drank some wine and walked around the four courtyards, eager to look at every corner.

"I want this set. You can see the meadow when you open the window. It's so comfortable!!" The second brother-in-law pointed to a set of yards.

The eldest brother-in-law was not polite and pointed to the yard near the canal opposite the door, "I want this set. I'll ask Sun Qiang and Wang Hai to come over tomorrow to redesign the yard and make a pond. I can still fish if I have nothing to do in the future."

"It's up to you, remember to tidy up your parents' yard too." Li Hongbing shrugged.

The second brother-in-law looked provocatively and asked, "What, your kid is planning to separate the families? Each one will live in his own place?"

This question clearly meant to sow discord.

Li Hongbing bets that as long as he admits it, the whole family will know that he is going to break up tomorrow.

"Fart, I didn't say that. Dad likes to be busy, and the old house is too far away from the village, so it's inconvenient to run back and forth. What if it rains or snows and they fall down? Build a yard for them, so they can live there if they want. Live, if you don’t want to live, just go back to the old house.”

hum! !

"You'd better think so." Seeing that the alienation plan failed, the second brother-in-law said angrily a warning.

The eldest brother-in-law was too lazy to get involved in the feud between the two of them, so he locked the door and said, "Let's go and walk around the village. I haven't been back to the village for a long time."

indeed.

It has been several months since I last returned to the village.

Li Hongbing didn't want to go home early, and listened to his mother's curse to hang out with his two brothers-in-law.

The three of them were just like idle villagers, wandering the alleys of the village.

Now in late autumn, the temperature drops below 10 degrees at night. Unlike in summer, everyone runs out for a walk after dinner.

The small square is sparsely populated by villagers and tourists.

Instead, the basketball court was filled with cheers and cheers.

The three villagers wandered to the basketball court, where a dozen or twenty young men and women stood by the court and watched the game. In the court were the unlucky foursome and Fang Wanda, playing against a few strangers young people.

The audience was divided into two groups. Li Hongbing saw three volunteer teachers from Wanwan and Sun Lianqian, a lazy apprentice. The four girls formed a cheerleading team to cheer for the Caogou Village side.

Snapped!

Li Hongqi's shot was blocked by a slap from the opponent's player.

The opponent's victory was overwhelming, and the opponent's cheerleaders jumped up and down in cheers. An angry Sun Lianqian cursed at the Caogou Village golfers in the field.

"Fang Wanda, is it Yang Wei? His legs are so weak that he can't run."

"Li Hongqi, you can't dance as high as a river toad, you're such a shitty girl, if Xinyi likes you, you'll have to be a widow for the rest of your life."

"Xiucai, you are defensive, defensive, so boring!"

"Sheng Li, isn't he bragging about how awesome he is? Why don't you get angry at him? You're a coward!"

"Jianjun, you go and be the women's director, stop playing ball, really."

The players from Caogou Village on the court suddenly turned black.

The audience was silent except for Sun Lianqian's small mouth. Everyone looked at her in surprise. She looked good, but she always talked trash. Especially the three Bayan girls, who looked at Sun Lianqian as if It is worshiping idols.

"Forget it, let's just have fun. I thought Silly Boy's village was very good at playing, but that's all." A tall player from the opposing team shrugged.

"You are just a ball. If the stupid kid were here, I would beat you to pieces, little Karami!" Sun Lianqian immediately turned her gun and pointed it at the tall player and sprayed wildly.

The eldest brother-in-law turned to look at his brother-in-law, "Is this your apprentice? He has quite a fierce personality."

"Well, with the style of our Li family women, it doesn't mean that one family does not enter the same house." The second brother-in-law once again acted as a troublemaker.

Li Hongbing had a black line on his forehead.

When she was in Mingzhu City, Sun Lianqian was very good, sensible and well-behaved. Why did she change when she returned to Caogou Village? Could it be that she had awakened the Erha bloodline?

Cough cough cough! !

Li Hongbing coughed loudly twice on purpose.

But Sun Lianqian's trash talk stopped abruptly, and she immediately shrank her head, bent her waist, and wanted to turn around and get into the crowd.

"Come here!" A solemn command sounded.

Sun Lianqian changed her venomous attitude and ran up to Li Hongbing obediently, pretending to have just seen him, "Master, when did you come? Why didn't you call me?"

"Why are you being asked to punish Yang Wei for Wanda!" Li Hongbing reminded him angrily, telling his second apprentice that he had been there the whole time since you started trolling people.

"Master, they bullied people, saying that without the stupid boy, the village would be a basketball desert, without anyone who can even play ball." Sun Lianqian quickly explained, her expression was like that of an aggrieved child complaining to his parents.

"You can't curse! Look at you, you're just like a shrew." Li Hongbing gave a few words of instruction, turning to look at the tall player, "Just for fun, how about ten balls, I'm just average! "

The two brothers-in-law had such expressions on their faces.

My brother-in-law's elbows are always turned inward.

"It doesn't matter, it's all the same anyway." The tall player picked up the basketball on the ground and gently threw it to Li Hongbing. Li Hongbing hurriedly caught the ball, slapped it on the ground twice, and looked at the scholar, "You bean sprouts, let's play a ball. Take my place."

He's not tall, blame me! !

The scholar walked off the stage chattering.

Li Hongbing came on the court and said to his team members, "Pass the ball to me later, you don't have to worry about the rest."

Fang Wanda and the other four nodded. They couldn't beat him anyway. If Brother Hongbing wants to play, just play with him for a while. If he wants to be embarrassed, everyone will be embarrassed together.

"Master, Master, you are the best!"

"Master, Master, invincible!"

Sun Lianqian picked up two pieces of clothing from somewhere and waved them while shouting slogans.

This apprentice was not accepted in vain, he knew how to respect his teacher.

Li Hongbing nodded with satisfaction, walked to the free throw line of the opponent's court amidst the cheers, and signaled that he could pass the ball.

Originally, the game was over, but this was an extra game. Both sides played more casually and did not make much defensive moves.

Li Hongqi dribbled the ball to the frontcourt, raised his hand and passed the ball to Li Hongbing. After receiving the ball, Li Hongbing turned around and took a long stride. He jumped up, his feet seemed to be loaded with springs, and his whole body jumped into the air, holding it with one hand. Basketball, dunk hard into the basket.

Bang! !

With a muffled sound, Li Hongbing grabbed the basket and did a pull-up before returning to the ground.

The basketball court fell silent for a moment.

Everyone's eyes fell on Li Hongbing. Even Sun Lianqian forgot to shout slogans and covered her mouth with an expression of disbelief.

Slam dunking is not uncommon!

The tall player on the court just now can do it too.

But to dunk as gracefully, naturally and smoothly as Li Hongbing does, it requires talent, body and technique.

"Didn't you say you're just an average player?" The tall player looked disdainful. The boss came here to pretend to be a newbie and increase his presence. Is it interesting?

Li Hongbing picked up the ball with a smile, threw it to Li Hongqi who was waiting to serve, and said sincerely, "I can only dunk, but I really can't do anything else."

Also pretend to be a boss.

The tall player curled his lips, turned around and made a gesture to his teammates, put away his contemptuous expression, and started to defend.

Li Hongbing turned around and continued walking back to the opponent's free throw line. The tall player immediately approached and spread his arms to interfere with the ball.

Li Hongbing is less than 1 meters tall, and the taller player is almost 8 meters tall. Although the difference is only about ten centimeters, when they stand together, they feel like they are one head apart, and there is also a big difference in wingspan.

Game start.

Li Hongqi held the ball and looked into the free throw line, with his arms raised like Bao Gudi. It was so dense that he couldn't even see where the red soldier was.

What to do?

At this moment, Li Hongbing squeezed into the crowd and yelled to hit the backboard.

Without thinking, Li Hongqi threw his hand and hit the backboard.

boom! ! The basketball hit the basket and bounced high.

"Get rebounds." The tall player deliberately blocked Li Hongbing with his body to prevent him from exerting his strength, and at the same time shouted to his teammates around him.

As soon as he finished speaking, he felt as if he had been hit head-on by a dump truck. His body flew outward uncontrollably. A figure jumped up high in his sight, caught the basketball in mid-air with both hands, turned 360 degrees, and gave a heavy backhand. Smashed into the basket.

Alley-oop turn dunk!

Nate Robinson! !

The image of a basketball star flashed into the tall player's mind.

He is also not tall, only 1.68 meters, but he was able to win three All-Star Slam Dunk Contest championships in 2006, 2009, and 2010. His superhuman jumping ability helped him complete all kinds of incredible moves in the air. Even Yao Huang was He has done a great job.

The strange man in front of him seemed to be physically stronger than Nate Robinson.

His thoughts were fleeting, and the tall player flew backwards. His teammates wanted to catch him, but they didn't want to collide with each other, and they turned several somersaults on the ground.

boom! !

The spectators on the sidelines also waved their arms excitedly and cheered.

They are all young people, and their excitement is palpable when they see such an exciting dunk action.

"Are you okay?" Li Hongbing smiled and stretched out his hand to the tall player and pulled him up from the ground.

The tall player shook his head and stared straight at Li Hongbing. As a basketball player who aspired to become a basketball player, he knew all the well-known players in the basketball world, but this unfamiliar group in front of him was so powerful, how could he be unknown.

"Brother, are you a basketball player too?"

"I'm just a farmer. I only know how to farm and don't know how to play ball. You guys take your time and play." Li Hongbing waved his hand and stopped trying to bully the children. He shouted to his two brothers-in-law, "Let's go home! Tomorrow We also have to go into the mountains to dig winter kudzu.”

The two brothers-in-law laughed and slapped their brother-in-law on the shoulders, once again refreshed by his performance.

"Okay, San'er, I feel like you are much better than Silly Boy."

"With such a level, why don't you play games? Such a good talent is wasted."

Li Hongbing rolled his eyes at the two brothers-in-law.

He has a lot of talent. Last year at this time, he was still a greasy man with a mess at home and outside. If he hadn't become a druid, his life would still be the same.

"You guys know your stuff, I'm too lazy to talk nonsense with you two."

After Li Hongbing left, the tall player looked at Li Hongqi. He lost his arrogance and asked humbly, "Brother, who was that person just now?"

"He is the head of our village." Li Hongbing raised his head.

"He is really a farmer, he is really a master among the people." The tall player couldn't help but sigh.

Then, Li Hongqi added, "By the way, the silly boy is the village chief's nephew."

The tall player's eyes widened, as if he suddenly understood.

No wonder.

The whole family is a master.

Pity.

Back to the old house.

The eldest sister, the second sister, and the father have already gone into the house to rest.

Li Hongbing walked into the bedroom and saw his mother and Anna sitting by the bed, accompanied by Shan Xing pitifully. When he saw Hongbing appear, his eyes flashed with a look for help.

Li Hongbing nodded quietly to express receipt, so he spoke tactfully.

"It's so late and we've been in the car for several hours. Mom, please take Anna back to the house and have a rest early."

Mom raised her eyes, and her invisible aura instantly suppressed Li Hongbing, "From now on, you can go to sleep in the cabin by yourself. You are not sleeping honestly. What if you kick Myolie?"

Next to her, Anna seemed to have found someone to support her, and she kept nodding, adding fuel to the fire.

"That's right, dad is so bad. Not only did he pinch Xing'er's mother, but he also bullied Xing'er's mother. Xing'er's mother cried so loudly."

Shan Xing suddenly blushed with embarrassment and wanted to get under the quilt and hide.

I.

Li Hongbing was even more confused.

Shan Xing was only half a month pregnant, how could she sleep in separate rooms so early.

"Okay, you go out quickly. If you sleep too late, the child will be born stupid." The mother asked him impatiently.

Anna continued to be a troublemaker, "Yes, yes, I'm too stupid because my mother doesn't sleep at night."

Facing the two mothers and grandsons singing and harmonizing.

Li Hongbing could only give Shan Xing a helpless look and walked out of the bedroom angrily.

As soon as I walked out of the main room, there was a bang behind me, and the main room door closed ruthlessly.

Looking at the bright full moon in the night sky.

My heart was desolate.

There are still more than ten months to come, what a life it will be like!

It’s miserable just thinking about it.

Li Hongbing hung his head and walked into the guest room listlessly. Even the heating could not warm his cold heart.

In the early morning of late autumn, the mist seemed to cast a mysterious veil over the entire small mountain village, and the distant mountains were looming in the mist.

The crowing of roosters and the cries of birds intertwined and echoed in the mist.

The chimneys of the houses scattered on the hillside emitted wisps of green smoke, blending with the fog.

Li Hongbing didn't sleep at all last night because he always felt that there was no one around him. He tossed and turned on the bed. Even October, who was accompanying him, couldn't stand the tossing and quietly ran back to the dog shed.

At dawn, I got up and got into the kitchen, tinking, clanging, banging, clanging, and got busy.

There are three pregnant women in the family who need to take care of themselves.

He fished a grass carp from the pond, took out a piece of fish belly, and took out the pig belly left over from killing the pig yesterday.

Wash the pork belly, slice it into slices, braise the fish belly, put it in the same pot as the wolfberry, add water, put it on the coal stove and simmer over low heat.

This soup is called Wolfberry Erdu Decoction. It has the effect of nourishing blood, nourishing yin, and relieving miscarriage. It is suitable for restless fetal movements and irritability caused by insufficient yin blood.

Waiting for family members to get up one after another.

Seeing the busy Li Hongbing, they all looked at him with relief.

"This soup is so fragrant. What's in it?" The second sister walked to the coal stove and reached out to lift the lid.

"Try it, drink more, it will help you to have a good pregnancy and recuperate your mind, and you can be pregnant with a big fat boy next year." Li Hongbing replied without any yin or yang.

The second brother-in-law quickly withdrew his hand from reaching for the pot lid. Sensing that his brother-in-law was in a bad mood, he quickly said to please him, "San'er, I'll help you make breakfast."

"Save it, I'll wait until you make breakfast. It's the Year of the Monkey and the Horse!!" Li Hongbing retorted, then turned and walked into the kitchen.

Looking at the back of my brother-in-law.

The second brother-in-law was confused and said, "I'm eating gunpowder this early in the morning, and I'm so choked when I talk."

laugh!

The eldest brother-in-law came to him with a towel and whispered, "You don't know, San'er was kicked out of the house by her mother last night and was left alone to guard the empty room. How miserable it was!"

No wonder!

The second brother-in-law suddenly realized it and felt inexplicably happy.

It seems that drinking coriander juice is not that bad.
