Return to 1983 Hunting Xing'an Mountains

Chapter 72: Grand reception, not a heretic at all
  Chai Liangyu cupped his fists and replied, "Man, have fun!"

After the two chatted, everyone in the room was dumbfounded.

Especially the three brothers of the Chai family. How had they ever seen their father be so talkative before?
  Normally, as soon as they started talking, Chai Liangyu started to curse.

Look at it now, there are two of them!

Chai Liangyu's violent temper, which gets easily triggered by fire, needs to be smoothed over.

It's definitely not possible to go against him.

Besides, it can be seen from Chai Liangyu's speech that he is an organized person. He talks like a meeting and likes to say one, two, and three.

And Xu Ning doesn't like beating around the bush and says whatever he wants, so the two of them can chat together.

Besides, the three Chai brothers are his biological sons, so they can't beat and scold them as usual? Do they still dare to rebel against Tiangang?
  Xu Ning is an outsider, so Chai Liangyu must temper himself.

In the outhouse, Chai Feng's wife shouted to put the table down, and the three brothers and children of the Chai family in the room started to move.

It must be said that the Chai family is really wealthy, with eight children alone.

The eldest son is Chai Shao, his daughter Chai Hongyan is 19, and his son Chai Baotong is 17.

Chai Feng's family has three children, two boys and one girl, and Chai Bing's family also has three children, two girls and one boy.

But they are not very old, the oldest is just 13 years old and the youngest is 5 years old.

The food at Lao Chai's house is quite solid. The rice is steamed rice, not the kind of rice cooked by Xu Ning's house.

Dishes include shredded dried tofu mixed with cucumber, stewed tofu with kelp, fried eggs with green peppers, stewed goose with dried potatoes and hazel mushrooms, stir-fried goose eggs with leeks, and stewed ribs with beans.

Why do you say hard? In the Northeast, you have to go to the provincial capital to buy vegetables. If you go to the streets, you have to rush early or know someone who can do it, otherwise they will be booked out early.

And big geese are also quite precious, costing several yuan each.

Li Fuqiang and Wang Hu looked a little stunned. They thought that the food at Xu Ning's house was enough to compare with that of others, but they didn't expect that Lao Chai's house could have vegetables.

They're going to make a fool of themselves just by looking at them, but don't laugh at them, because they have to wait more than half a year before they can eat vegetables.

For more than half a year, I have been eating radishes, potatoes, sauerkraut, and Chinese cabbage every day. Who can stand it?
  "Brother, our second brother ordered these cucumbers and other things on the street, just waiting to entertain you."

"Oh my God, this is so rich!"

Chai Liangyu said: "I originally wanted to give you some pork or something, but I thought you would not be short of meat if you walked around the mountains all day long, so I asked Brother You and the others to go out to the streets and buy some that they can't usually eat. .”

"Uncle, I am so flattered by this!"

Chai Liangyu said with a smile: "What a surprise. You have beaten us this year, and we will have to look for you every year in the future. Then we will not be able to let go? How difficult is it to find someone with a strong enough handle these days?" Looking, do you know? If I really don’t have any options, can I find Xu Cannon? How old is he, and I’m still looking for him..."

"Brother, sit down quickly, we have to shave."

Chai Feng grabbed Xu Ning's arm to ask him to sit down, but Chai Liangyu pulled him aside with a walking stick.

"You fool, let these three kids sit next to me, and I'll have a drink with them."

"Hey, Dad, you haven't recovered from your fracture yet. Why are you drinking? Yanzi, hurry up and advise your father!"

Chai Hongyan walked over and helped Chai Liangyu, "Master, let's not drink. Let my dad and the others accompany me... uh, uncle, let's drink."

Xu Ning was one year older than her, and Chai Hongyan couldn't scream, so she got stuck.

"Hurry up and pull it down. My family is here. If the master doesn't carry a cup, how can he carry it?"

Seeing that Chai Liangyu refused to listen and reached out to grab the wine vat, the three brothers of the Chai family became panicked.

The three of them were indeed filial, but others would have turned a blind eye.

Chai Shao's face turned red in anxiety. "dad!"

"You idiot, I don't want to hear what you say."

Chai Shao was already in his forties, yet he didn't lose face despite being scolded by his own father in front of outsiders.

Just when he was about to continue persuading, Xu Ning stood up and said, "Uncle, we three brothers don't drink. It's because in the past few days, my eldest brother and I had drunk a lot of wine and then threw ourselves against the courtyard door, so we couldn't stop. I froze to death in the street! From then on, we both gave up drinking."

"Yeah!" Li Fuqiang nodded.

When the three brothers of the Chai family heard this, they looked at Chai Liangyu expectantly.

Who would have thought that Chai Liangyu pouted and said angrily: "What a fool you are, how can you fall down on the street after drinking some wine? When I was young, I drank with Lao Xu for three days, and nothing happened!"

Xu Ning nodded: "Yeah, I'm the perfect guy."

"No... eh, you... I haven't finished talking yet. What the hell are you doing? If you don't want to drink, why should I drink!"

Xu Ning laughed: "Uncle, you have spoken out what is on your mind."

Chai Liangyu was stunned, "Ah? Really."

Then he laughed: "Hahaha, okay, okay, this kid is good... he likes me, so if you don't want to drink, then don't drink. Let's eat more food, right?"

"Yes, this is a table of good food. If you drink wine, it will definitely not taste good."

"Yeah, Yan, please take away the wine glasses and no one is allowed to drink. These three brats are just waiting to feast on me."

"Hey." Chai Hongyan responded and removed the wine glass.

The three brothers of the Chai family smiled at each other and watched Xu Ning getting closer and closer.

Normally, if the three of them tried to persuade Chai Liangyu not to drink, they would be scolded in return.

Now it has been resolved directly, and it was Chai Liangyu who proposed it himself.

"Second brother, don't we have sweet water in our store? Let Tongtong carry two pieces."

From the outhouse, his second sister-in-law brought a piece of sweet water into the house, "What else should I carry? I've already prepared it. I think my little brother is not old enough to enjoy drinking this."

Chai Liangyu nodded: "Well, my second daughter-in-law is very discerning and attentive. You all need to learn from her. People in their thirties don't even know how to behave."

Everyone nodded quickly.

"Then let's all drink this sweet water. Come on, Qiangzi Huzi Erning, you guys have a taste of this. It's still breathy."

Chai Bing uncorked the bottle, took off the cap and handed it to the three of them.    This is Arctic Ocean soda, retail price is 1 cents a bottle.

Xu Ning took over and said with a smile: "This soda is not cheap. I bought it for 1 cents before. How much has it gone up now?"

Upon hearing this, Chai Feng knew that he had drank it, and replied: "Now it retails for 1 cents, so the purchase price must be cheap. What, brother, have you ever drunk it on the street before?"

Wang Hu said: "My second brother has been living on the streets for several years."

"Huzi!" Xu Ning called him, signaling him not to continue.

"How many years have you been living on the streets? Er Ning, have you gone to the streets to do business?"

Everyone in the room was waiting for his words, so Xu Ning gritted his teeth and spoke directly.

He certainly couldn't hide his notorious reputation anyway. Why didn't Xu Pao Chang Danian tell the Chai family?

Aren't you afraid that they will be disgusted?

"Uncle, I used to be a fool on the streets and asked the police to take me home with a bucket several times. I was notorious in Qing'an. After that, I decided to change my mind."

Everyone looked at each other and expressed doubts about Xu Ning's words.

Because Xu Ning's first impression on them was really good, he looked stable, spoke openly and acted very casually.

Chai Liangyu frowned and asked, "You didn't do any bad things secretly, did you?"

"That's not true. I can't do that."

Chai Liangyu clapped his hands and said, "That's just a J13 thing! I wonder what bad things you did. Everyone has something wrong with them. I used to play around with money when I was young? Isn't this something that has changed?"

Xu Ning's eyes lit up, "Uncle, I always play around with money."

"Oh my god, is that right? What are you playing at? I was playing dice at that time."

"Mainly Pai Gow, but also dice..."

"Hey mom, how about we have some fun after dinner?"

Xu Ning was stunned and thought, hasn't this old man changed his mind? Why is he so addicted?

"Uncle, I really quit and can't play with you."

Chai Liangyu smiled and said: "I just said that, but you took it seriously. Hurry up and eat. Who didn't have some hobbies when they were young? The old man in our village, the young man, was willing to steal the widow's pants..."

"Dad, the child is on the table." Chai Shao's wife reminded.

"Ah, just put the table on the table. What did I say?"

"No."

"If you don't have anything, just eat. Why do you talk so much?"

Chai Liangyu moved the chopsticks first, and Chai Shao and others grabbed the chopsticks.

Xu Ning was an outsider wherever he went, and he didn't need anyone to persuade him. He just stared at the cucumber shreds. The Chai family's sister-in-law gave them empty bowls of kelp and tofu soup, which made Xu Ning sweat on his forehead.

Chai Liangyu looked at him and said, feeling very happy.

When people get along with others, they are afraid of heretics.

If the guests don't eat well, the host will feel bad too.

Since we are inviting you to dinner, let’s eat openly. Are you so polite?

Furthermore, people nowadays don't have so many things to do, and getting along with each other is down to earth, without being so particular about it.

If it were to wait twenty years or so, we would have to pay attention.

Although there was no wine in this meal, everyone had a good time.

Because they listened to Chai Liangyu and Xu Ning chatting, they started to eat. The conversation between the two made everyone in the room burst into laughter, and two children spit out their rice.

Looking at Wang Hu and Li Fuqiang, they are also outsiders and have started to create wildly.

But I definitely pay attention to how I eat, but I just don't say anything before eating.

The meal ended about half an hour later.

There was only a handful of food left on the table. Wang Hu leaned against the counter and drank a soda, while Li Fuqiang smoked the large front door given to him by Chai Feng.

"Er Ning, you have changed, but you can't change too thoroughly. You have to smoke and drink, otherwise life will be boring."

Xu Ning said with a smile: "I'm looking for family harmony. My parents are healthy. Isn't it interesting to live?"

Chai Liangyu was stunned, and the cigarette in his hand suddenly disappeared in the air.

He turned to look at Chai Shao, "Look at what people say, it's called depth! Do you understand?"

"Yeah, Er Ning is upright in what he says and does. I'm as big as him, but I'm still hanging around with your back."

Chai Liangyu was very satisfied with Chai Shao's flattery. Usually he couldn't get the right place to take pictures, but this time he might have gotten the idea.

"Well, that's it. You should be busy. Go ahead and do your thing. I'll go to the village with Er Ning and the others later."

Chai Shao said to Xu Ning: "Then I'll leave first. There's still something to do at the village department. Let's chat in the evening."

"Okay, big brother, if you have something to do, go and get busy."

After saying that, Xu Ning also stood up and said to Chai Bing: "Third brother, I have to take a look at the dog."

"Oh my God, it's not like that, I even forgot about it!"

Chai Liangyu said angrily: "What else can you do today? Go quickly!"

"Eh."

The two of them walked out, and everyone in the room except Chai Liangyu followed them.

Chai Liangyu looked at Xu Ning's back and muttered: "This person in Old Xu's prime minister really has two skills."
