Chapter 182 Can’t eat? Then don’t eat them all! (5k)
Xu Qingshan helped his grandma to appear.
The folks all praise the filial son and the virtuous grandson.
The stage is not small, it is the most spacious place in the village. It is in front of the village's ancestral temple, with only a screen wall in the middle.
The ancestral temple is inside and the stage is outside.
At this time, Xu Qingshan's thank-you banquet for his admission to higher education is being held on the stage. After eating and resting for a while, the ceremony will begin. The door of the ancestral temple will be opened, Xu Qingshan will be allowed to enter the hall, and then the ceremony will be held by the old craftsmen in the village. Finished plaque.
[Number One Scholar and No. 1]
This small village in the mountains still retains its ancient heritage.
Today can be regarded as a happy day that has rarely happened in the hundreds of years since Laokeng Village was founded.
Xu Qingshan, the top scorer in the college entrance examination who caused a sensation across the country, has a status comparable to that of the top scorer in ancient times.
That was someone who dominated an entire era.
Even a perfect score is comparable to winning six yuan in a row, which is unprecedented and unprecedented.
Even if the people in this mountain don't know much, they still know that this kid from Erfang's family will have great fortune in the future.
Even if they won't help their children in the future, everyone doesn't want to offend others at this time.
not to mention.
Xu Qingshan is a sweet-tongued kid who knows how to behave.
Although I have been studying abroad and do not come back often, the warmth and affection of calling my family members makes people feel proud after hearing it! What an honor!
In rural areas, especially mountain villages, there are actually a lot of dirty things.
In the past, we would fight with neighboring villages over clean water sources, stabbing people in the neck with a hoe and fork.
There was a chaotic fight at night, and no one called the police even if someone died in the pitch-black mountains.
Each village collects and buries them by themselves, which leads to chaos.
Even among the hundreds of households in Laokeng Village, there are women who were abducted by kidnappers. Now they are fat and have given birth to children, and they can live here with peace of mind.
But is this right?
Presumably no one thinks this is right.
Later, things got better after liberation, but there were often feuds and conflicts between brothers in different houses. Even when Xu Qingshan's father, Xu Xuejun, was studying, there were conflicts between Xu Qinghe's family and Xu Xuejun's fourth uncle's family.
On his way to school, Xu Xuejun was beaten to death on the dirt road by his uncles and brothers.
The folk customs here are simple, but the folk customs here are also strong.
The definition of simplicity is not simplicity and simplicity, but
If I see you unhappy, then I simply want to see you throw a tantrum.
The stage at Laokeng Village.
The banquet held today can be regarded as the best in the history of Laokeng Village, and although Xu Qingshan asked Xu Xuejun to pay some money for the banquet, the Ancestral Temple Foundation also contributed money.
All the folks wanted to make this party beautiful.
Laokeng Village has not had such a big happy event for too long.
Those who went to Xu Qingshan's old house were all respectable adults in the village. When they arrived at the stage, old, young, women and children were also here, waiting to be served to the table.
Xu Qingshan helped his grandma sit down and let her sit on the high seat of the main table.
Xu Qingshan stood at the main table and was in no hurry to sit down.
"Today is my big day!"
"Thank you to all the folks for your support and support, and also to our Xu Family Ancestral Temple for the encouragement. I will develop well in the future and repay my hometown in the future. I also hope that everyone can eat and drink happily today."
"Although I have been studying abroad and have few opportunities to come back, my relationship with everyone is still there. We are all our own people, so you are welcome."
"When the banquet is over, I have to ask the elders to introduce me to the clan brothers who are willing to go out to work. Although I am young, I have helped a few other elders with their business in Ludao."
"If you are interested, after the banquet is over, I will go to each house to meet our brothers and chat slowly. Although the work is harder, the salary will definitely be much higher than in Yunzhang!"
After speaking, Xu Qingshan raised a small glass of white wine.
In fact, it was filled with Sprite.
"Come on, I'll do it. Everyone, let's have dinner!"
Xu Qingshan waved his hand.
At this time, the folks from the Xu family in Laokeng Village looked at Xu Qingshan. Their eyes were not just pure appreciation and emotion, but a completely different look.
What if Xu Qingshan was only the top scorer in the college entrance examination with perfect scores.
Then they will be surprised, envious, and maybe jealous, but it actually has nothing to do with them.
It’s just that there is one more meal to eat.
But if it is true as Xu Qingshan said, he can provide a good job to the young adults in Laokeng Village, then it will have a lot to do with them.
For a while.
Everyone looked at Xu Qingshan with eyes full of enthusiasm.
They need a chance to perform well in front of Xu Qingshan, and strive to show off in front of this very capable young champion, and then get a better position.
The sun is high.
There are many sheds erected in the middle of the stage in Laokeng Village to provide shade. The sheds are full of villagers, and the air is filled with the tempting aroma of food.
The chefs and women in the village have been busy early in the morning. They formed a circle around the large temporary pot stove. Some were busy cutting vegetables, some were stirring, and some were kneading and preparing dough. point.
The laughter and whispers mixed with the clanging of pots and pans were like a unique mountain village symphony.
With Xu Qingshan's voice, the banquet opened.
Dishes were served on the round table one after another. The cold dishes were sour and spicy, appetizing and relieving greasiness. The steaming atmosphere attracted countless chopsticks as soon as it was served. The braised pork was stewed until it was soft and delicious. The male fish was splashed with a layer of hot oil and was extremely tender.
On the stage, people were drinking and drinking, it was so joyful.
at the same time.
Xu Qingshan's uncle's family, who had been waiting for a long time, and his aunt and sister-in-law's family were all gathered together, sitting at Xu Xuewen's house waiting for the call.
"Why don't we go there? It's already half past twelve."
Xu Xuewen frowned and looked at the phone.
Still no call to ask them to hurry up, what's going on?
"I guess they were chatting so much that they forgot to call me. When the third brother called me around ten o'clock in the morning, he told me that there would be quite a lot of people today."
Xu Ping curled his lips and looked unhappy.
"The third child clearly doesn't take us to heart!"
Xu He raised his eyebrows and stared.
"This third child has become more and more supercilious this year. Several times I asked him to help with some things but was unwilling to go. Either he said he was not available or he was busy. When I asked him to borrow some money, he said he had no money."
Xu He was a little dissatisfied when he thought about being rejected by Xu Xuejun several times this year.
"If my little sister and I hadn't stopped studying and worked for others to do needlework for him to study, would he be where he is today? His civil servant, who has the same job as me and my little sister, doesn't even help with small things."
"Oh, maybe it's not Laosan's fault. I heard that Yuehua is in trouble. Laosan has been wiping her butt recently. I can't blame Laosan~"
Zhou Xiuhua held her throat and pretended to speak softly.
That green tea smell can be smelled from a long distance away.
Doesn't this make it clear that Lin Yuehua is to be blamed?
This level of sowing dissension is not very clever, but Xu’s family just did this.
"That mother-in-law, I told the third child to discipline her well. Why are women so angry? If it weren't for our old Xu family's good genes, would he, Xu Qingshan, get the top prize?"
Xu He was indignant, as if she was angry that Xu Xuejun didn't listen to her.
"But it's strange, the third brother didn't call, why didn't the old lady call?"
Xu Ping asked aloud with some confusion.
If we had dinner together at home in the past, the old lady would definitely ask the second and third children to wait, and call them until they came in before they could start eating.
But today even the old lady didn't move.
"I guess it's not done yet."
"Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding-ding!"
Xu Xuewen's cell phone rang.
"Let me just say, there's no way our mother will forget us. There are three of us."
Xu Ping smiled brightly, while Tang Jiye remained silent. He was a foreigner and had no right to speak in such family gatherings.
"Not our mother."
Xu Xuewen frowned even more tightly, which made his originally not very sunny face look even more gloomy.
On the side, Xu Xuewen's son Xu Dongshan was lying on a recliner and playing with his mobile phone. The animated villain on the mobile phone looked a bit soft and pornographic, but no one was paying attention to him.
"Hello, Uncle Donglin?"
"Oh, you've started eating, right? Okay, our car ran out of gas on the way. We're filling up. We'll be there soon."
Although Xu Xuewen answered the elder on the other end of the phone with a smile, the anger on his face was very obvious.
"They've already opened the banquet."
Xu Xuewen was very angry, but he had always been elegant and easy-going and could not lose his composure.
Thinking of his nephew Xu Qingshan's perfect score and admission to Beijing University, he turned around and saw his son still playing with those disgusting things. He became so angry that he slapped him.
"Crack!"
The phone was slapped to the ground, and there was a red slap mark on Xu Dongshan's face, which was enough to show how much emotion Xu Xuewen's slap added.
"Xuewen, why are you suddenly angry? Does your hand hurt?"
Zhou Xiuhua came up and grabbed Xu Xuewen's hand, worried that he would slap his son again, but continued to speak softly.
"If something happens, let's just talk about it. Don't hit your son suddenly."
Xu Dongshan didn't say anything, and there wasn't even anger on his face. He didn't even look at his parents. He just bent over and picked up the phone that had fallen to the ground with a cracked screen, and continued to play his game without a care.
"Look at him like that!"
No matter how much Xu Xuewen suppressed his anger, he could not stop his anger.
"Brother, if you have anything to say, please speak slowly and don't point it at the child. Dongshan is still young. Isn't he quite well-behaved? He studies at home and doesn't cause trouble."
"You're so damn good! You're already 20 years old, and you can't even get into a fucking university. You go home and play with those disgusting things on your phone every day!"
It is hard to imagine that such words could come from the mouth of Xu Xuewen, a college student in the 1980s who regarded himself as an intellectual. But no one present felt anything was wrong, and they seemed to have gotten used to it.
They just scrambled to comfort Xu Xuewen.
No one cares about Xu Dongshan.
"Let's go back. They started the banquet before we even arrived."
Xu Xuewen vented his temper, made a dull sound twice, and spoke.
"I haven't come back for a year or two, and I don't know how to visit my uncle. I don't have any tutoring. So what if I get into Peking University with perfect scores in the college entrance examination? Can I fly into the sky? This kind of kid will definitely not be able to achieve great things in the future."
Xu Xuewen said gloomily.
He was talking about Xu Qingshan.
"It's because he is ignorant and spoiled by the third child. I will definitely give this child a lesson when he sees him later. He will not come back to visit relatives during the Chinese New Year."
Xu He echoed.
"Everyone is not angry anymore. After all, the children of the third family are still young, so it is normal for them to be ignorant. Doesn't it have to be taught by us elders?"
"Come on, come on, I'll drive, let's all squeeze in a little bit."
Zhou Xiuhua looked as delicate as a white lotus flower. She carried her luxury bag and went to drive in a splendid way.
Xu He and Xu Ping saw it and were very disdainful.
Xu Xuewen and Zhou Xiuhua's family and Xu He and Xu Ping's sons crowded into the car and headed back to Laokeng. Tang Jiye followed alone on an old-fashioned men's motorcycle.
Next to the stage in Laokeng Village.
"Qingshan, uncle has finished fighting, do you think?"
Xu Donglin looked at Xu Qingshan expectantly.
"Thank you, uncle. When the meeting is over, I will leave you a phone number. You ask Brother Da Bang to make that phone call when he arrives at Ludao. Don't worry, it will be fine."
Xu Donglin's face was full of joy and he nodded repeatedly.
As for Xu Xuewen?
What nonsense?
Every time I see a good cigarette, I won't even give him a good cigarette, and I often look at my own good stuff and want to take it away at a low price.
Bah!
"Auntie, can I trouble you? Let my uncle and aunt clean up and leave a table."
"Okay, Xiaoshan, don't worry, my aunt has already disliked them. How can a family bully your mother like that? Don't worry, if there is a quarrel later, my aunt will help you scold them!"
The aunt who was entrusted with the important task smiled happily and expressed her position one after another.
"It's just my family's business."
"Easy to say, easy to say."
Xu Qingshan smiled.
Ludao is indeed short of manpower, but it is not a game company, it is to support Hou Cheng's appearance. If you want to get rid of the shoe industry and want a higher valuation and acquisition price, you need enough appearance.
These folks are enough to support the scene.
After the scene is over, it also has another use.
Here, the reputation of my hometown is a constraint, but over there, wages can be paid normally. It is better to have a group of subordinates who know the basics than to recruit randomly in the market. Anyway, it does not require any skills.
Xu Qingshan was sitting in the center of the stage, where there was a table of food.
The aunt just cleaned it up.
Xu Qingshan was holding a bowl by himself. There was something in the bowl that he had just prepared, and he was eating it slowly.
The food on the table also looks very rich.
"Why did you start eating by yourself without waiting for us? How unruly!"
Before I saw anyone, I heard my aunt Xu and her broken gong voice.
Xu Qingshan's face was full of smiles.
Now the people in the village are enjoying the cool air and chatting nearby, but it looks like they are chatting, but in fact they are quietly watching the show here.
Just now Xu Qingshan said that after dinner, he would invite everyone to watch a show, and it should be this one.
In fact, Xu Xuejun was opposed to it.
He could already somewhat foresee what Xu Qingshan wanted to do.
But the problem is that I didn’t object?
My mother didn’t object, so it didn’t matter that Xu Xuejun objected, not to mention that there was Lin Yuehua who was pulling him forcefully today.
"Here it is, auntie, come here, I've left the best food for you, eat it quickly."
Xu Qingshan did not stand up and spoke very enthusiastically, but he kept tapping his chopsticks.
"There are really no rules. Qingshan, you have to learn from your brother, be good, and be sensible. Otherwise, when you go out in the future, people will say that our Xu family is uneducated."
Xu He was going to teach Xu Qingshan a lesson when he sat down.
Xu Xuewen just stared at Xu Qingshan coldly.
But Xu Qingshan was not annoyed at all, he just nodded thoughtfully.
"Indeed, it's easy for people to say that our Xu family is uneducated when we go out."
"Let's talk about it later. Uncle, aunt, brother, aunt, and sister-in-law, please eat quickly."
Tang Jiye hasn't arrived yet.
Xu Qingshan was full of smiles.
"You know the truth."
Xu He picked up his chopsticks and put his favorite braised pork on the table, added a few spoonfuls of soup, mixed it with rice and ate it deliciously.
They had been there for too long and were indeed hungry.
"snort."
Xu Xuewen shook his face and said coldly.
"So you still know how to call me uncle? Where are your parents and your mother?"
"It's hot, let's go and be filial to grandma."
The smile on Xu Qingshan's face became even brighter.
Indeed, Lin Yuehua was blocking the door, threatening Xu Xuejun and grandma. Xu Qingshan taught her the threats, and I don’t know what she said. Xu Xuejun and grandma were in the next room as anxious as ants on a hot pot. But in the end he sat down helplessly.
"Why didn't you call your aunt earlier, knowing it was hot? My aunt was anxious to wait, but when she looked at the time, she realized that it was already past the time. The car ran out of gas all the way, and she couldn't celebrate Qingshan's happy event with everyone. I'm so sorry It’s a pity.”
Zhou Xiuhua was smiling broadly, and she said that Xu Qingshan was not.
"Eat first, then talk after you finish eating."
Xu Qingshan knocked on the table.
Although it felt a bit strange, Xu Xuewen and the others quickly took their chopsticks to eat because they were really hungry.
Xu Qingshan watched the few of them throw away the dishes on the table, with a smile as bright as a sunflower on his face.
"Um?"
Zhou Xiuhua suddenly stopped using her chopsticks and frowned at the bone she picked up with her chopsticks.
"Why are there bones in this braised pork?"
"Why are there fish bones in this dish?"
"No, why are there chewed ribs in the soup?"
Several of them ate something wrong one after another.
At this time, Tang Jiye arrived slowly. He ate two steamed buns on the way. After all, when a foreigner came to be a son-in-law, it would be embarrassing to eat too much.
As soon as he arrived, he saw his wife, brother-in-law, and sister-in-law holding their throats and retching.
"Xu Qingshan! What's going on!"
Xu He glared at Xu Qingshan angrily, his old face flushed red. It looked like he was extremely hot and would explode if he didn't get angry.
"What's going on?"
Xu Qingshan’s smile was bright and cheerful.
"Am I the host today, or are you the host?"
“Is today my big day, or is it your big day?”
"I won't argue with you about the past, but today, do you still want to cause trouble for me?"
"Didn't my dad inform you in advance a few days ago? Didn't he call you early in the morning to confirm?"
"What are you still doing?"
"It's not a coincidence. I'm the person who waits for food."
"What kind of people, what kind of food they eat."
"Do you still like these leftovers that are full of enthusiasm from the folks?"
The smile on Xu Qingshan's face looked like a pervert.
Maybe it would be more appropriate to remove the image.
"If you like it, eat more. Once you're full, you can settle the score."
Xu Qingshan's toughness and cruelty exceeded Xu Xuewen's imagination.
Xu Xuewen was no longer as cold and arrogant as before, and kept picking at his throat with a green face.
"You deliberately let people bring these things that are not human food to us?"
"What? Isn't this appropriate?"
Xu Qingshan pretended to be innocent.
“You can’t eat this thing at all!”
Xu Qingshan narrowed his eyes and said slowly.
"On my big day, you guys are making trouble. I kindly invited you to dinner, but you said you can't eat?"
"Can't eat it? Then don't eat it at all!"
Xu Qingshan's eyes flashed fiercely, he stood up suddenly and overturned the round table. Pots and pans flew to the ground, and the food was scattered all over his uncle and aunts.
