Chapter 1639 The Third Seat
After parting with the women and children of Yong'an Village who had left the banquet, Li Tongyun saw Chu Xiaoxue's face flushed red, and hurriedly whispered to comfort her, "It's okay, Xiaoxue, don't take it to heart."
"Yeah." Chu Xiaoxue nodded after being comforted by Li Tongyun. Just as she was about to speak, she heard Li Tongyun continue, "Anyway, you are in this village and no one knows you."
"I..." Chu Xiaoxue's chubby face sank again in an instant.
"Hehe..." Li Tongyun laughed so hard that Chu Xiaoxue rolled her eyes at her and said, "Sister Xiaoyun, why did you become a bad person?"
"Haha..." After being commented on by Chu Xiaoxue, Li Tongyun laughed even more wildly.
"Oh!" After laughing enough, Li Tongyun sighed and said, "Before, if anyone said anything to me, I would fight back with my fists and feet. After I came to this village, no one bothered me anymore. I learned from them, and I am now very good at talking."
Hearing what Li Tongyun said, Chu Xiaoxue couldn't help but think of the people she met at the Zhao family when she came to eat the pig-killing meal last time.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiaoxue nodded and said with a smile: "You know what, this group of people is quite interesting. Just like the little guy last time, he was wrestling with the black blind man, hehe..."
Li Tongyun knew Chu Xiaoxue was talking about Zhang Yuanmin, and she smiled and said, "What's that? My brother fought Hei Xiazi twice and got away with it."
"Ah?" Chu Xiaoxue's eyes widened when she heard that. Then she heard Li Tongyun say, "My uncle was even more powerful. He rushed over and punched Hei Xiazi twice."
Chu Xiaoxue: “…”
Chu Xiaoxue took a long time to come back to her senses. She sighed softly, shook her head and said, "I was wondering why you are so fierce. Your family is like this after all this time."
"My dad is not like that..." Li Tongyun was just saying this when he saw Ding Qingbin and several helpers carrying firewood down from the pile of firewood outside the Zhao family's yard.
When he saw Li Tongyun, Ding Qingbin said a few words to his companions, and then walked quickly towards Li Tongyun and Chu Xiaoxue.
"Sister Xiaoyun." Chu Xiaoxue squeezed Li Tongyun's hand. When the dishes were served earlier, Chu Xiaoxue saw Ding Qingbin staring at Li Tongyun. She thought that this stinky old man was planning something bad to Li Tongyun.
At this time, Li Tongyun's face looked a little ugly. He stared at Ding Qingbin and asked, "What are you doing?"
"Um..." Ding Qingbin stopped and stood two meters away from Li Tongyun, saying, "The splint on my daughter's arm has been taken off, and she's basically healed now."
As soon as Ding Qingbin said this, Chu Xiaoxue suddenly turned her head to look at Li Tongyun. Her sister Xiaoyun clearly said that since arriving in Yong'an Forest District, she had only taken action twice, but both times she left room for maneuver and no one was injured.
"What do you mean?" Li Tongyun said to Ding Qingbin in a bad tone, "Are you still going to extort money from me?"
"No, no." Ding Qingbin waved his hands quickly and said, "What am I trying to say? My family has moved to Yongsheng now. We are not far away. If you run into my Ding Dong someday, don't be like her."
Hearing this, Li Tongyun glanced at Ding Qingbin coldly. She was about to say something when she saw Li Ruhai staggering out of the yard.
Li Tongyun's face suddenly changed. She took a step forward and whispered to Ding Qingbin, "Tell your daughter to stop playing with that shady guy. It's over. I... our family supports Yong'an. Don't tell anyone about it!"
"Ah?" Ding Qingbin was startled, and then he heard Li Tongyun threaten: "Otherwise, I will beat your daughter every time I see her."
After saying this, Li Tongyun quickly added: "And your son."
Hearing Li Tongyun's last words, Ding Qingbin widened his eyes in shock and said with a bitter face: "My... my son is only three years old!"
"Shut up!" Seeing Li Ruhai looking over here, Li Tongyun whispered to stop Ding Qingbin, and then urged: "Hurry up and get your firewood!"
Seeing Li Tongyun glaring, Ding Qingbin didn't dare to say anything. He and Li Dazhi both came from Shuguang Forest Farm, and their families moved to Yong'an one after the other.
When Li Tongyun was at Shuguang Forest Farm, Li Dazhi was also the director of the forestry farm. At that time, Ding Qingbin could not afford to offend him. Although Li Dazhi is still the director of the forestry farm, he was transferred from a small farm to a large farm, which is equivalent to a promotion.
The key point is that Li Dazhi, who arrived in Yongan Forest District, not only thrived, but also had a strong backer, so Ding Qingbin was even more afraid to offend him.
Ding Qingbin turned and left, and bumped into Li Ruhai who was following him.
"Hey? Master Ding, right?" Li Ruhai called Ding Qingbin, who nodded and smiled at him. When he entered the forest farm, Li Ruhai had already surrendered to the Zhao Family Gang and wholeheartedly followed the Zhao Army to work in forest protection.
So Ding Qingbin had only heard of Li Ruhai's name, but had never met Li Ruhai.
"Master Ding, you may not know me." Li Ruhai smiled and said, "But I know you, and I also know your aunt and mother-in-law."
"Ah?" Ding Qingbin was stunned, and then he heard Li Ruhai say, "Aunt Cui from the first cafeteria."
"Oh, yes, that's my aunt." Ding Qingbin nodded, and Li Ruhai said, "I know your mother-in-law well, and then there's your aunt, but she's not in our village..."
Before Li Ruhai could finish his words, Li Tongyun pulled him to his side.
"You go and get busy." Li Tongyun waved at Ding Qingbin, and Ding Qingbin left in a daze.
"Miss!" Li Ruhai approached Li Tongyun and asked with a gossipy look on his face, "What were you two talking about just now?"
"I didn't say anything." Li Tongyun denied: "What can I say to him? I don't even know him."
"Why don't you recognize him?" Li Ruhai questioned, "Aren't you all from Shuguang?"
"I..." Li Tongyun pulled the corner of his mouth and defended himself: "We don't know each other well, we just said hello when we met."
"That's not right!" Li Ruhai said, looking at Chu Xiaoxue and said, "Then why did Sister Xiaoxue look wrong just now?"
"No, there's nothing wrong with that!" Chu Xiaoxue covered for Li Tongyun, and Li Tongyun glanced at Li Ruhai, then his eyes drifted towards the Zhao family compound, muttering, "Why isn't the red paper on which the word '囍' is cut red?"
"Hmm?" Li Ruhai turned his head and looked along Li Tongyun's line of sight, then turned back and said, "Isn't this the case? How can it be popular?"
After Li Ruhai finished speaking, he saw Li Tongyun staring at him and said, "I'll make your nose bleed, and it will turn red."
Li Ruhai: "..."
Li Ruhai covered his nose and took two steps back.
At this time, a jeep drove over from not far away. Li Ruhai raised his hand and waved at Li Tongyun, saying, "Miss, please go upstairs with my sister Xiaoxue. I will go and entertain the guests!"
"Do you know him? Just treat him." When Li Tongyun said this, Li Ruhai had already run away.
Li Tongyun curled her lips helplessly, but heard Chu Xiaoxue laugh and say, "Sister Xiaoyun, your little brother is really interesting."
"It's quite interesting." Li Tongyun glanced at Chu Xiaoxue and said, "This kid is a complete nuisance!"
There were a lot of cars parked outside the Zhao family's yard today, so the jeep could only be parked in a remote place.
Li Ruhai stood in front of the car and saw the two people in the driver's seat and the passenger seat through the front windshield.
"Hey, Brother-in-law Sun!" Li Ruhai hurried forward and shook hands with Sun Haizhu who got off the car.
"Ruhai!" Sun Haizhu looked at Li Ruhai and said with a smile, "You are still dressed so smartly."
While Li Ruhai was greeting Sun Haizhu, Jie Hua who was sitting on the passenger seat and three people sitting in the back seat got out of the car one after another.
"Hey, Yingming!" Li Ruhai raised his hand and greeted Jie Yingming.
When Zhao Jun went to Hebei for the second time, Li Ruhai accompanied him. When he came back, he stayed at Xie's house and met Xie Yingming. As for his acquaintance with Sun Haizhu and Xie Hua, it was because the two had visited Xie Sun last year.
"You have to call me brother!" Xie Yingming corrected Li Ruhai, but Li Ruhai ignored him and raised his hand to greet Zhou Shujuan who got out of the car, saying, "Auntie Zhou, long time no see. I hope you are doing well!"
"Ah, hehe..." Zhou Shujuan responded dryly. Her good mood disappeared instantly when she saw Li Ruhai.
Li Ruhai did not notice Zhou Shujuan's expression, but looked at the little boy next to Li Yingming, and then asked Sun Haizhu: "Brother-in-law Sun, is this your child? He is very handsome."
"Haha..." Sun Haizhu and Jie Hua laughed loudly, but Zhou Shujuan curled her lips. When she first came to Yong'an and met Li Ruhai, she also felt that this kid was really great, and she even envied Jin Xiaomei at that time.
"Brother-in-law Sun, Second Sister Jie, Aunt Zhou, Yingming, and Little Brother Sun, let's not stay outside." Li Ruhai quickly called the five people and said, "Let's go upstairs and sit for a while. You have come all the way here, you must be hungry. We will start the feast at twelve o'clock."
"The dinner starts at twelve o'clock." Sun Haizhu heard this and said with a smile, "Then we are not too late."
"Why isn't it too late?" Li Ruhai said with a smile, "My Aunt Sun has already hugged me."
Sun Haizhu, Xie Hua, Xie Yingming: "..."
……
In the southwest corner of Zhao’s right vegetable garden is a thatched hut. His thatched hut is built with red bricks, and a cross-shaped ventilation hole is built on the upper part of the wall.
There is a square asbestos tile placed diagonally on the back wall of the toilet. If you lift the asbestos tile, you will see a pit that goes inward and downward. This was designed by Zhang Yuanmin to dig the toilet.
The door of the toilet was made of large elm boards, which were repeatedly brushed with two layers of wood wax oil.
At this time, Xie Zhong, Xie Chen, and Liu Lanying were standing in front of the toilet. Seeing the toilet door being pushed open from the inside, Xie Chen took out two painkillers from his pocket and said, "Mom, no one was watching you, so you didn't go in. Are you having diarrhea again?"
"Mei Jin Zang" is a Northeastern dialect, which means that nothing you eat is enough and you eat without restraint.
"What the hell are you talking about?" Xie Sun glared at Li Chen and said, "I don't have a stomachache, why should I take painkillers?"
"Are you really okay, Mom?" Liu Lanying stepped forward and asked with concern: "Xiaochen said that you went to the toilet several times."
"Weren't you accompanying the old lady from the director's family just now?" Xie Sun said so. Xie Chen said, "Then why didn't the old lady accompany you when you went to the toilet?"
"She was called away by her daughter-in-law." Xie Sun said, and took her son and daughter-in-law to the water pump in the northeast corner of the vegetable garden. Then Xie Sun was seen bending over, spreading her legs, clasping her hands together and stretching them forward, saying, "Big brother, pump some water for Mom to wash her hands."
"Hey!" Xie Zhong responded and hurried forward to press water for Xie Sun to wash her hands.
"Mom, I've torn out the pills." At this time, Xie Chen held the pills in his hand and said, "Why don't you just give it this water and let it drink."
"Fuck you!" Xie Sun raised her hand, glared at Xie Chen and said, "You made your mother drink cold water today, and I have diarrhea even if I don't need to."
Seeing that Jie Sun was angry, Liu Lanying hurried forward, handed the handkerchief to Jie Sun, and said, "Mom, wipe your hands quickly."
Mrs. Xie Sun took the handkerchief and wiped the water off her hands. When she returned the handkerchief to Liu Lanying, Mrs. Xie Sun suddenly sighed and said, "Tsk! I miss my eldest grandson so much. Oh, it would be great if my eldest grandson came to such a good feast."
"Ha!" As soon as Mrs. Xie Sun finished speaking, Xie Chen sneered and said, "I didn't think about your eldest grandson before the banquet, but now I think of him after the banquet!"
"I'm pretty!" Upon hearing this, Xie Sun swung her arms and punched Li Chen twice.
"Mom!" Xie Zhong and Liu Lanying hurriedly stopped him. Liu Lanying turned around and said to Xie Chen, "Xiaoer, we can't say it anymore!"
At this moment, Xie Zhong suddenly pulled Xie Sun's arm and said, "Mom, your eldest grandson..."
"Boss, you..." Xie Sun glared, thinking that her eldest son was going to make fun of her too.
But when Sun Xie turned around, she saw several people standing not far away looking at her.
"Eldest grandson! Eldest grandson!" Just as Mrs. Xie Sun was about to step forward, four members of the Zhao family walked out of the Zhao family's house.
When Li Tongyun reported that a jeep had arrived outside, Zhao Jun, Zhao Youcai, Wang Meilan and Ma Ling hurriedly got up to greet it.
Every time Zhao Jun went to the supply and marketing cooperative in Lingnan, Sun Haizhu gave him convenience and Zhao Jun did not treat Sun Haizhu badly. He always invited Sun Haizhu to dinner.
Moreover, during the Chinese New Year, Zhao Jun gave Xie Chen several live roe deer, including some for Sun Haizhu and Zhou Shujuan.
But when he got married, he didn't inform Sun Haizhu and Zhou Shujuan. Zhao Jun thought that the couple was far away, so he didn't bother them.
But unexpectedly, they all came. Zhao Jun looked at Xie Chen, who was grinning, and knew that it must be this guy who sent the letter.
In any case, Zhao Jun and Wang Meilan were happy that their friends had come, and they warmly invited Sun Haizhu and others into the house.
At this time, Xie Sun pulled Wang Meilan aside and asked, "Sister, do we have any more food left? I want to let them eat with us."
The Zhao family, guests from the mother's family, leaders, helpers, kitchen assistants, chefs, and band all had a feast at eight in the morning.
It was almost twelve o'clock, so we had to eat lunch. This banquet was mainly for the forestry workers, and the next banquet was for the people of Xishan Village.
Therefore, Wang Meilan decided that everyone should eat together, so she asked Han Dachun and others to prepare for forty tables.
Hearing Mrs. Jie Sun's question, Wang Meilan smiled and said, "Sister, there is enough food, don't worry. My sister and children are here, what else can we lack?"
"That's fine!" Xie Sun grinned, and just as she finished her words, she heard the sound of a train whistle coming from the distant mountains.
"Sister, please go to the backyard." Wang Meilan said to Jie Sun: "Let's prepare to have dinner!"
The commuter bus will arrive soon, and the Zhao family’s third leisurely session is about to begin.
"Okay!" Xie Sun responded, and then said to Xie Zhong, "Big Boss, take your Aunt Zhou to the shed at the back and eat some melon seeds and peanuts first."
"Mom, where are you going?" Liu Lanying asked. Xie Sun said, "I'm going to go and call the old lady."
About half an hour later, as Zhao Guofeng announced the start of the meal, the Zhao family's third banquet officially began.
Faced with a table full of delicious food, Chu Anmin was reluctant to pick up his chopsticks. He stretched his neck to look for his mother in the crowd.
I will post an extra update at around 6 or 7 o'clock tomorrow morning. We still have two days left for the lucky draw. If any of your friends needs medicinal wine, let's hurry up!
