Era: 1979 From mountain man to richest man

Chapter 149 Aren’t you afraid of Zhu Xiao? Ancient rituals, random bits of music?

Chapter 149 Aren’t you afraid of Zhu Xiao? Ancient rituals, random bits of music?
Song Chaoyang came down from the roof and saw his third uncle Song Shoubao at the entrance of the courtyard.

Song Shoubao is still dressed in a floral shirt, bell-bottom pants, and long hair, which is very fashionable today.

He stood at the door of the yard without entering, and asked cautiously:

"Your uncle and his family are not here, are they?"

After all, I went to spread rumors, but I still felt a little guilty and didn't want to meet the victim's family.

"What do you think?" Song Chaoyang rolled his eyes.

What is the relationship between your family and your uncle’s family?
Will they be invited?
This is not a joke!
Hearing what Song Chaoyang said, his third uncle Song Shoubao immediately said with a smile:
"Hey, that's probably not here."

After saying that, he walked to Song Chaoyang and whispered to him:

"The things you told me have been settled. Now, not only the people in their supply and marketing cooperative know about cousin Qin Chaofeng's fall into the manhole, but also many people outside."

"Not to mention that his reputation is ruined, anyone who mentions his name now will first think of him falling into a manhole."

After finishing speaking, he seemed to be worried that Song Chaoyang wouldn't believe it, so he added another sentence:
"If you don't believe this, you can go to the county and ask about it yourself."

Song Chaoyang nodded:
"Believe it, of course I believe it."

"You are a professional in this area. If I don't trust you, who should I trust?"

As a result, he already knew it clearly in the precognitive dream.

Although the third uncle's other things are outrageous, he is still quite reliable when it comes to such dirty things.

Hearing what Song Chaoyang said, his third uncle Song Shoubao was also very happy:

"Hahaha, that's not a joke. I'm really not bragging. I am indeed much more professional than others in this regard."

Song Chaoyang didn't waste any time and directly took out the money:
"Okay, here's the final payment."

"Count 30 in total."

In fact, there is not much to count, a total of three brand-new 10 yuan cards.

As long as your eyes are fine, you can see the amount clearly at a glance.

Song Shoubao took it with a smile, counted it back and forth three times, and then said to Song Chaoyang with a smile:

"Hehe, okay, okay, Chaoyang, I know you are a generous person."

When Song Chaoyang arrived, he held in his purse, half a pack of cigarettes that he had not finished just now.

So he handed it over directly:

"By the way, you can take this half pack of cigarettes too."

"Hey, or cigarettes?" Song Shoubao's eyes lit up when he saw the cigarettes coming from the ground.

Song Chaoyang said:
"No, a new house was completed today, and my mother bought it specifically to entertain guests."

Song Shoubao was not polite and directly took the half pack of cigarettes and said to Song Chaoyang:
"Thank you, thank you. You don't know, I'm so poor these days that I can't even afford cigarettes."

In order to marry the girl in the city back home, Song Shoubao felt that his life was not easy.

If you have any money in hand now, give it to that person.

Doesn't he just want to marry a wife and have a son?

This difficulty is too high.

Holding the cigarette, he suddenly realized that he didn't even have a match on him, so he shamelessly asked Song Chaoyang:
"By the way Chaoyang, do you have any matches?"

"Yes, take it and use it." Song Chaoyang took out the match directly from his pocket.

Third uncle Song Shoubao took it and opened it with his hand. He found that it was a full box and immediately said happily:
"Brand new, hey, Chaoyang, please be nice to your third uncle!"

Song Chaoyang smiled and said:
"You helped me do something, as you should."

Then he glanced at the watch on his hand. It was almost time to cook.

Before entering, he still invited Song Shoubao:

"By the way, let's have lunch here."

As a result, Song Shoubao lit the cigarette, squinted his eyes, took a long puff, and then shook his head:
"Ouch, that won't work. I have to go back to the county seat quickly. Your future aunt is still waiting for me."

"With money, she and I have to get the marriage certificate quickly, otherwise things will change later!"

When Song Chaoyang heard what he said, he frowned and hesitated, and finally said:
"Third uncle, you'd better take your time before going back. I heard the news. It won't be good for you to go back now."

"What?" Song Shoubao was startled and asked:

"What's the news?"

Song Chaoyang said using the picture he saw in his precognitive dream:

"You asked people to help spread the news about Song Chaofeng falling into a latrine. They have already sold you. Now he is waiting for you to come back and then find someone to deal with you."

Unexpectedly, this did not scare Song Shoubao at all. He smiled disdainfully:
"Hey, that's it? What did I think it was?"

"No problem, don't worry, as long as he knows someone, I'm protected by someone in the county."

"Give him three guts, and he won't dare to touch me!"

After saying that, he waved his hand with a cigarette in his mouth and turned around to leave:

"Let's go, let's go, I have to rush back to get married."

After he walked a few steps, Song Chaoyang asked:
"Zhu Xiao, are you not afraid either?"

"Huh?" Song Shoubao froze when he heard the name.

He turned around, pulled down his sunglasses a little, and looked at Song Chaoyang seriously:
"What do you say?"

Song Chaoyang said to him:

"Zhu Xiao, the one nicknamed Wild Boar, is now the leader of a group of famous second-rate men in the county."

After hearing this, Third Uncle Song Shoubao was still a little nervous, but he thought about it and asked again:

"Can Song Chaofeng hire him? He's a gold-swallowing beast, and it costs a lot of money to do things for him."

Song Chaofeng still knew how much money he had in his hands.

If you really want to please him, you probably have to drain him dry.

In order to retaliate against oneself, it is not worth the gain.

Unless Song Chaofeng was crazy, otherwise he didn't believe that this kid could do it.

Song Chaoyang said:

"Of course I can't invite them, but the people around me can be invited by spending some money."

Invite the younger brother next to Zhu Xiao?

This is possible.

Third uncle Song Shoubao pushed up the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose and asked:

"How do you know it?"

Song Chaoyang said to him:

"Didn't I tell you everything? I heard the rumor."

"As for whether it's true or false, I can't tell. I just think I should tell you so that you don't suffer a loss."

"After all, you are here to help me."

"Hiss..." Third uncle Song Shoubao took a breath and touched his chin to think. After hesitating for a while, he said:

"Then I'll have lunch before we talk."

He planned to find someone to go to the county town to find out if such a thing was happening, so as not to be careless and get caught and get a meal in vain.

If this really happened, he would have to find his boss to sort it out.

Of course, giving money is definitely not possible.

Just two cigarettes at most.

If things really go wrong, the worst he can do is get a beating.

Seeing his third uncle changing his mind and walking into the courtyard of his new house, Song Chaoyang reminded him:

"There are people playing cards in the yard, please take it easy and don't lose everything."

Third uncle Song Shoubao nodded:
"I know, I know it well!"

Song Chaoyang watched him enter the courtyard and stopped interfering with him too much.

If he really wants to go back, it can only be said that he deserves a beating in his life, and there is no way he can avoid it if someone helps him.

As soon as Song Shoubao entered the courtyard, many people noticed him, and he was immediately greeted:

"Master Bao'er, come here and show your skills?"

"How big?" Song Shoubao asked, holding a cigarette in his mouth.

The other party said with a smile:

"It's not big, and we don't have much money."

Song Shoubao suddenly showed a disdainful expression:
"Hey, it's a small one, but it sounds like a hammer when you play it? Is there anyone who can hit it big?"

Someone pointed upstairs:
"Upstairs, the fight is big upstairs!"

After Song Shoubao heard this, he adjusted his belt with his hands and said:
"Okay, you guys play slowly, I'll go up and play the big one."

After saying that, he walked upstairs to Song Chaoyang's house with a swaying step.

"..." Song Chaoyang was speechless. He had reminded him just now, but he had completely forgotten it within half a minute.

Song Chaoyang didn't bother anymore and went directly back to his new kitchen.

At this time, a lot more ingredients have been prepared, and Song Chaoyang can start making them.

There are a lot of people today. Song Chaoyang plans to make a pot of pheasant and pork ribs with mushroom soup for each table. The necessary casseroles are all ready.

This unglazed casserole is very cheap.

It can be used to simmer hot pot, boil medicine, stew meat, etc.

The advantage of a pot is that it heats evenly. You only need a small amount of heat to burn one place, and the whole pot is boiling.

There are also some cooking, stir-frying and cold dishes.

And plenty of rice.

This is what Song Chaoyang will do today.

The ingredients are basically purchased through negotiation between my mother and father. They are much more frugal than Song Chaoyang, and most of them are bought from nearby fellow villagers and hunters.

Most of today's pork is still cured wild boar from the Orion family. Only a small amount of fresh pork was bought by Cao Wei early this morning.

But in this day and age, everyone doesn’t choose, as long as it’s meat.

If you make fresh pork at home, everyone will think it tastes better at most.

I think your family is strong.

Song Chaoyang was cooking, and his eldest sister Song Xue came over to help light the fire.

Song Chaoyang had to make several pots by himself today. He couldn't handle it all by himself, so he had to have help from others.

As soon as the firewood stove is lit, the new chimney will immediately emit a faint smoke.

The fire in the stove makes a whistling sound due to the chimney effect.

"Listen, this is the first time I use this stove. The stove king is so happy!" Grandma, who was helping in the kitchen, said to everyone with a smile after hearing the sound. An old lady raised her head, and others also spoke auspicious words.

In fact, this is not the first time this wood stove has been used. It was tested before when it was just repaired.

The specially designed large flue makes the combustion rate much higher.

This will not easily produce thick smoke and can also improve the efficiency of cooking.

After a while, hot smoke began to rise from the big iron pot. Song Chaoyang poured rapeseed oil in and out, sprinkled in Sichuan peppercorns, and then added the sliced bacon.

There was a squeak.

A scent of fragrance spreads over the surface.

The ventilation windows designed on the roof quickly exhaust the oil fumes.

Although the tile roof was originally very breathable, Song Chaoyang still designed a breathable window.

This can make the room brighter and allow the fumes to dissipate faster.

As the fire power increases, the aroma of fried meat becomes stronger and stronger.

People outside also smelled the meaty aroma.

Many people were standing outside the windows, looking into the kitchen.

Some people even walked in directly.

However, when everyone saw the busyness in the kitchen, they were embarrassed and just stood and watched the excitement, and began to help with the unfinished ingredients.

Suddenly, a large number of women gathered in the entire kitchen. The sound of Song Chaoyang cooking and the sound of them chatting while working merged together, making it extremely lively.

The working time always passed quickly. When Song Chaoyang finished cooking the last dish, he glanced at his watch and found that it was already eleven forty-one.

It's almost noon time.

Waiting for people to bring out the food in the kitchen.

Song Chaoyang took off his apron and asked the little girl to go find his father and set off all the firecrackers he had given everyone before dinner.

I set off a few firecrackers this morning. Later, many people came over to collect gifts, and some brought a lot of them.

According to the custom here, the host's house has to set off these firecrackers before eating.

Song Chaoyang was so tired after cooking lunch all day that he really didn't want to set off firecrackers.

Just leave this kind of thing to dad.

After all, he is now the head of the Song family.

And he is also the one who values these rules most.

Maybe there should be some ceremony before setting off the firecrackers.

Sure enough, after the little girl informed her father, he immediately took his second brother and brother-in-law out to prepare.

The firecrackers brought for everyone were all disassembled and placed together at the entrance of the Song family yard.

Wait until 12 o'clock arrives.

Just light firecrackers.

With a burst of crackling firecrackers sounded.

The father carried two bundles of firewood with red ribbons on his back, the second brother carried a copper basin filled with water, and the brother-in-law came in from outside with a large bundle of paper money for incense candles.

Song Chaoyang looked at it for a moment, wondering what was going on.

After asking Lao Zhangtou on the side, I found out that the two bundles of firewood meant that my father was carrying "wealth" into the house. These two bundles of firewood should be placed in the financial position of the house.

In addition, the copper basin filled with water held by the second brother actually contains the Five Emperors' coins that were enshrined in the incense burner, which means gathering treasures to guard the house.

As for the paper money for incense candles in the hands of brother-in-law Liu Yong, they are all used to worship gods at the four corners of the yard.

In addition, the ancestors of the Song family must be notified and burned for them.

Song Chaoyang listened with only a half-understanding. Seeing the solemn expressions on his father's, second brother's and brother-in-law's faces, he knew that this was probably a relatively serious ceremony in the small ravine.

When the ceremony was over, his father Song Shouyi stood at the door of the main room and greeted everyone as they sat down.

There are really too many people in the family today. They went out while Song Chaoyang was cooking just now, and others borrowed many tables, chairs, benches, bowls and chopsticks.

At this moment, the courtyard and upstairs are all filled with decorations.

Many men, women and children from Qingsong Bay came.

After being greeted and seated, everyone gathered in small groups, actively looking for people they knew.

As for the Song family, the Xu family, and the Qin family, as long as they were related to each other, they were all arranged in the main room.

Incense was burned here just now, and it's still a bit smoky now.

Song Chaoyang opened the window to let some air in, but the others didn't feel anything. They all found their positions automatically.

When I saw people who didn't have a seat, they greeted each other.

Dishes are still being served in the kitchen.

Stews and roasted dishes should be served a little later.

The eldest sister and several women from working-class families took the initiative to take on this task.

The Song family gave their family the opportunity to transform from farmers into construction workers, and now everyone is very grateful to their family.

After all, the wages were paid in the morning, and they were all real money.

They had a good meal for free today, and it was nothing to them to do some work.

You must know that the men in your own family will have to work in the hands of others in the future.

It is said that the construction of the factory on the Wangjiahe Dam will take several years.

Being so stable is better than farming.

No need to worry about the weather at all.

Guaranteed harvest despite drought and flood.

Ordinary people these days are relatively simple.

Many people in the village had to give gifts to Liu Yong before they could join the engineering team, but their first batch of workers received nothing.

Naturally, the mentality is closer to the Song family and the Liu family.

There is free food and wages, what else is there to be dissatisfied about?
Others don't have this opportunity yet.

At this time, Song Chaoyang discovered that Cao Wei was also helping to serve the dishes.

Song Chaoyang hurriedly greeted:
"You don't have to work anymore, let's go out to eat."

Cao Wei waved her hand, pointed to the table in the kitchen and said:
"I'll just sit in the kitchen and eat with them. There are all your relatives outside, so I'm embarrassed to go."

Song Chaoyang said to her:

"I'm not a relative, I'll leave a place for you."

"Without the translation opportunity you provided me, this house wouldn't be repaired."

"Hurry, hurry."

At this moment, the eldest sister Song Xue also said:

"Cao Zhiqing, Chaoyang is right, you can be regarded as the benefactor of our Song family, hurry up and sit out."

Cao Wei suddenly felt a little embarrassed:
"Oh, I'm not a benefactor. Even without me, you can still make money."

Song Chaoyang saw her squirming and urged her:

"Okay, okay, you are so humble when I let you have a meal. Hurry up."

Cao Wei had no choice but to take off her sleeves and apron and walk out with Song Chaoyang.

Song Chaoyang arranged for Cao Wei to sit at his own table.

At this table were them and their uncle and aunt, as well as the grandmother who didn't want to go to the elders' table, as well as the sons of the third uncle's family and Song Lan and Song Zhu.

Seeing that Song Chaoyang was brought out by Cao Wei and arranged to sit with him, the uncle and aunt suddenly showed gossiping eyes.

Grandma Chen Qingshu asked directly:
"Hey, who is this, Yang Wazi?"

Song Chaoyang introduced:

"Cao Wei, our educated youth in the village, our house would really be impossible to repair without her."

"Ah, girl, come and sit quickly." Grandma immediately said with a smile.

Cao Wei felt a little embarrassed being looked at by everyone and said quickly:

"No, no, Song Chaoyang saved me before."

"Sit down." Song Chaoyang pointed to the long bench.

After Cao Wei sat down, grandma came over and said:

"Xiao Cao, do you mind if I call you this?"

"I don't mind." Cao Wei smiled at the old lady.

Grandma looked her up and down and said:
