Return to the era: starting from the state-owned hotel

Chapter 288 How much do you like the most?

While the Bai family was still having a lively meal, Huang Erleizi found a small corner with backlight on the grain drying ground.

Many people gathered here.

But if you look closely, you can find that these people all have one thing in common.

That is, they are basically all men, and they are either young second-rate men, or they are in their prime but are famous for their idleness.

All in all, these people are not good.

Occasionally, people on the farm passed by the grain drying field, but when they saw this scene, they couldn't help but turn around and go far away.

It's not that I'm afraid of them, but these people, once they get on it, are like dog-skin plaster - no matter how you shake it off, they can't be shaken off.

No normal person would want to mess with such a group of bugs for no reason.

On the grain drying field.

Huang Er Lezi was sitting on a small bench, with a cigarette in his mouth and a deck of cards in his hand. There was a dice on the table, and several cents were placed on the small table directly opposite him.

After he finished playing and all the coins in his hand were gone, Huang Er Leizi waved the cards in his hand and scattered them on the low table. He said angrily, "If you don't play, you won't play. Damn it, it's all Some bad cards! What’s the point of continuing to play?”

He lost all his cents, and the total amount was about fifty cents. For a person like Huang Laoer who had a "side job", it was naturally nothing.

But for the loser who follows him, this is a lot of money.

Pork only costs a few cents per pound!

We all share the fifty cents, and we can also buy a few loose cigarettes and fruit candies.

After getting the money in his hand, one of the gangsters couldn't help but smile and narrowed his eyes. He flattered Huang Laoer and said:

"Or you're still saying that Brother Huang is grand! Even if you pull out every hair on your head, you're still thicker than our waists!"

When Huang Laoer heard this, he almost felt cliche, but every time he heard it, he couldn't help but feel a little carried away.

He glanced at the gangsters around him, and for a moment he was so proud that he couldn't help but blurt out his words when he spoke, "Okay, as long as you follow Brother Huang, I will definitely have meat to eat!"

As soon as the words came out of his mouth, Huang Laoer regretted them a little.

Got meat to eat?

Is there some fart meat?

Even if Huang Laoer has money and tickets, he can't eat meat every day. Even if he wants to eat meat, he has to carry it on his back.

If so many people were invited to eat meat, I'm afraid they would have to bleed profusely.

Huang Laoer felt a little guilty and wanted to take back this sentence, but looking at the bright eyes around him, he couldn't say anything to reject it.

It's not that he, Huang Laoer, has much sense, and he wants to take his brothers to eat and drink, eat a lot of meat, and drink a lot of wine.

But... because I can't live with my face.

If he takes back these words today, wouldn't it mean that he, Huang Laoer, is just a person who doesn't keep his word?

Then wouldn't he lose all face in front of this group of fair-weather friends?

In this moment of silence, the thoughts in Huang Laoer's mind went back and forth. Finally, he seemed to have thought of something, and an idea came to him, "Of course there is no problem in eating meat. But before that, are you interested in following Do I have a vote?"

vote?

Why does this statement sound so like that of a bandit?

Not to mention, there are real people in the farm who were bandits in the past.

The reason why he didn't eat peanuts was because he was just an invisible man who served tea and poured water and cleaned toilets in the bandits' den.

But even so, he still couldn't help but feel a bit of gangsterism in his body.

This is enough to deal with normal people.

Hearing Huang Laoer's words, Hu Mazi immediately grinned.

"Huang Lao Er, what other evil ideas are you harboring in your head?"

He is one of the few among such gangsters who does not call him Brother Huang.

In his eyes, Huang Laoer is just a person who has made a little fortune at most and has some ways to make money.

But in the past, a bandit's den where red knives entered and white knives came out at every turn... Even if Hu Mazi was not a copycat king, from the bottom of his heart, he still looked down on people like Huang Laoer.

But even so, when Hu Mazi said this, he still didn't dare to relax at all, for fear of being taken into the ditch by Huang Er Leizi.

Sometimes, it is such an inconspicuous person who takes a bite of meat unexpectedly.

When Huang Laoer heard Hu Mazi's laughter, he narrowed his eyes and felt a little uncomfortable in his heart. He blew out a breath from his nostrils, deliberately attracting the attention of the people next to him, and then said slowly, "You guys said... Bai After all, my family was also a capitalist before, and that old guy Bai Yue even lived abroad and drank foreign ink. You always say that if you take a hair out of my body, it will be thicker than your waist. But really, it’s the old guy surnamed Bai. In front of me, what do these things like me count?”

Hearing this, Hu Mazi raised his eyebrows in surprise. When he was provoked, the pockmarks on his face moved. "You want to take advantage of the Bai family?"

Huang Laoer immediately laughed, "Don't say it so harshly. With regard to that old guy Bai Yue's background, if Xu Zhongshan hadn't protected him, would he have survived to this day? Let's take his things and divide them evenly between them. Brothers, this is a good thing."

Hu Mazi looked at Huang Lao Er for a while. His eyes were a little strange. The way he looked at Huang Lao Er seemed to be saying: He, Hu Mazi, has seen shameless people before, but how can he look like Huang Lao Er? There are only a few people who are so shameless.

What a good thing?

Don't you just want to steal other people's things?

And he speaks so righteously.

Pooh.

Not a good thing.

Although Hu Mazi was a little resentful of Huang Laoer's behavior, he was relieved when he thought that he was not a good person either. He leaned on the pile of wheat straw, folded his hands and asked calmly, "What are you going to do? "

There seemed to be a flash of light in Huang Laoer's eyes. He licked his dry lips and sneered, "How to do it? What else can we do? Su Qingfeng can't do it, but we can start with They searched the house. They found mouse holes, roots of big trees, corners of walls, and edges of Kang's beds. I don't believe it. They dug three feet into the ground and still couldn't find anything good!"

After hearing this, Hu Mazi couldn't help but frowned, "Don't forget, behind Bai Yue, there is that guy Xu Zhongshan. If he interferes, what will we do?"

When Huang Laoer mentioned this, he looked like he had a gap in his chest.

He raised his head and spoke calmly, "Isn't the ready-made target on our farm? Bai Yue's grandson is here. When the time comes, we will send a letter to report. Even if the kid has connections and connections, at least we can make Xu Zhongshan has been busy for a while, cleaning up the mess of Su and dealing with the tail. When the time comes... let's take advantage of this time to find out the background of the Bai family!"

Hu Mazi looked at his sworn look and sneered in his heart. Wanting to dampen his spirit, he couldn't help but say, "What if the Bai family has nothing at all?"

Huang Laoer looked at Hu Mazi like he was an idiot, "How is that possible? With the Bai family's wealth and their shrewdness, how could they not hide anything!"

When Hu Mazi heard it, he thought it was true.

They say there is no businessman without treachery.

What's more, big businessmen like the Bai family.

……

And while Huang Laoer and his group were discussing how to dig three feet into the ground to dig out all the Bai family's treasures, Su Qingfeng was in the kitchen, sweating profusely, kneading and beating the dough. After the dough is stretched, put it in a basin, place it on the stove, and let it bake on the stove, so that the dough can ferment quickly at a suitable temperature.

Xu Zhongshan strolled around the room with his hands behind his back, without stopping. Su Qingfeng felt a little dizzy from seeing him wandering around like this.

He poured a cup of hot water, then put the enamel cup with the big red peony flower into Xu Zhongshan's hand, and said politely, "Uncle Xu, you must have an idea about the mechanical parts just now, so you It will be clear and sunny. If you have nothing to do, come hang out at my house."

Su Qingfeng felt that she was very busy.

Really busy.

In his eyes, his grandfather's house was like a ruin, and everything needed to be renovated.

Su Qingfeng is also planning to go out this afternoon to the scrap factory to buy some old newspapers and then paste them on the wall.

Otherwise, in this small and old mud house, if you sleep at night and shake a few times, the dust will scatter down one after another.

Su Qingfeng even had the illusion that if he lay on his back all night and washed his face in the morning, the water would be black.

Of course, this is just a joke and a lot of exaggeration.

But Su Qingfeng still felt a little uncomfortable.

When Xu Zhongshan heard Su Qingfeng's words, his eyes drifted to Su Qingfeng and said quietly, "I always feel that you are mocking me..."

Su Qingfeng looked at the sky and the earth without saying a word.

This is not what he said himself.

"What are you going to do? You look so anxious?"

Su Qingfeng thought for a while, then spoke and said what he wanted to do, "I plan to go out and get some old newspapers first. When I come back, I will cover the walls on the kang with newspapers. And I Looking at it this way, there are still many things missing in the house, such as pillow towels, enamel cups, and even bowls. These things are either broken or missing. I saw that my grandma's pillow towel had several big holes in it. , she still uses it there."

"Also, my grandma, grandpa and two uncles all had their clothes wrinkled. I had to pull out a few feet of cloth. It would be better to have a ready-to-wear jacket, but after thinking about it, I still felt that The farm is too conspicuous. According to grandpa and grandma's temperament, they probably won't want it..."

Su Qingfeng was still chattering.

Logically speaking, given Xu Zhongshan's temperament, he is the person who dislikes being verbose the most.

But the words Su Qingfeng said made him feel the long-lost warmth in his heart.

Obviously... Su Qingfeng was not thinking about him, but he still felt warm in his heart.

Having stayed on this farm for a long time, he basically has a good understanding of the past of the people here.

He has seen too many cases where fathers, daughters and fathers have severed ties with each other because of what happened in the past.

There may be some necessity in this, and Xu Zhongshan can understand that sometimes.

But when he saw an "alternative" like Su Qingfeng, he couldn't help but be touched.

Especially like now, when Su Qingfeng kept thinking about her family, this touch became even more obvious.

So, with a wave of his hand, he immediately agreed to Su Qingfeng's travel plan.

only……

When Su Qingfeng sat in the car, she was still a little confused, "Director Xu, I just went to the supply and marketing cooperative in the town, why are you here too?"

Xu Zhongshan turned his head and said, "I want to go out too, what? I'll lend you a ride in the car so that you won't be hit by the wind and snow. Isn't that a good idea?"

Su Qingfeng was a little skeptical.

It was a lie that Xu Zhongshan wanted to go out, but it was true that he took him on a special trip, right?

But he didn't dare to express this doubt.

Because no matter how you think about it, you will feel that you are too shameless.

Seeing that Su Qingfeng remained silent, he turned his head and looked out at the vast snowy scene. At this time, a faint smile appeared on Xu Zhongshan's face.

This smile is very shallow, but it is real.

……

in a small town.

"Hey, Dad, why are you going out on this snowy day?"

"Grandpa, grandpa! I want to eat the big meat buns from the state-owned restaurant, but I don't want to eat the food cooked by my mother! The food cooked by my mother is too delicious!"

When Mr. Yan heard this, he didn't care how his daughter-in-law behind him stopped him.

The sky is big and the earth is big, and my grandson’s belly is the biggest.

Seeing the old man wearing a thin cotton-padded jacket, he walked out. His gray hair almost blended with the color of the snow.

Chu He was angry and anxious as he chased after her. He didn't have the gentle and elegant feeling he had on the train. Instead, he felt more alive and energetic in daily life.

I just heard her say:

"Yan Mingming! Why are you so ignorant! Other people's children can eat bran-thick vegetables, which are sweet and delicious, but not like you! They think about eating big meat buns all day long! If you continue to eat like this, you Even if grandpa has gold and silver, he will have to eat it all!"

Yan Mingming is the son of Chu He and the grandson of Mr. Yan.

When he heard my mother's words, he immediately hugged the old man with his two chubby arms like lotus roots. He looked at the old man with his aggrieved and sparkling eyes, "Grandpa, I eat two meals a day." Will a meat bun make you poor? If... yes, yes, then can I just eat one? "

Hearing what his grandson said, the old man didn't care about one or two people. He wished he could take out his money right now and buy all the meat buns from the state-owned restaurant so that his grandson could eat enough for himself.

Suddenly, Mr. Yan patted his pocket proudly and said, "Don't worry, Mingming, the food stamps in grandpa's pocket are enough for you to eat well. Let's eat with open stomachs today."

The chubby grandson with a happy face kissed Mr. Yan on the cheek, "Wow! Grandpa, I obviously like you the most!"

Mr. Yan's heart melted.

But he still didn't forget, while striding out, he teased his grandson, "How much do you like it the most?"

The little fat man stretched out his arms, stretched his chubby arms, and tried hard:

"I like it so much!"

　Four thousand words completed, see you tomorrow
