56 Raise a glass

After three rounds of drinking, under the influence of alcohol, everyone also let go of their hearts, the table was staggered, the sound of wine orders, the rise of drinking, and some people went directly shirtless and wandered. Whether it's getting drunk or remembering, everyone's faces finally put on a long-lost smile, and the breath of life once again wafts over the dreary countryside.

Teenagers don't know the taste of sorrow, young boys are always the most energetic, but also the most forgetful, even if they have just lost their relatives, after the past ten days, although they will now think of their relatives from time to time, but at this moment, their minds are more full of food. The bowls were full of them, gobbling them up, and at the same time their hands were not idle, holding chopsticks and pointing at the dishes, thinking about what to eat.

Fortunately, everyone has not forgotten their business, and everything has developed as everyone hoped so far. Seeing that a jar of wine was digested and absorbed by everyone, there were fewer and fewer drinks left, and the stones in everyone's hearts fell one after another. Watching the adults drink unnoticed, and occasionally the adults patted their asses and said how good the wine was, so that the teenagers squeezed their eyebrows while eating, the teenagers who couldn't hold back laughed out loud, and the teenagers who were already uncomfortable all burst into laughter, which made the villagers around them feel inexplicable, and they didn't know where a group of boys laughed so happily.

In front of the good baby, Li Tianyang, who accompanied Mrs. Wu and her mother to eat together, her mind was not at the dinner table at all, and she was always paying attention to the movements of the men in the village center. His heart was actually up and down, and he didn't let go until he saw that most of the people were already drunk and prominent. He has always been a law-abiding person, although he occasionally had bad deeds when he was a child, but it was also young and frivolous, unintentional mistakes, and it was not a big mistake. A planned crime like this, although even if it was discovered by everyone, it was just a prank with a laugh, but it also made Li Tianyang nervous and adrenaline soared.

He didn't know what to eat here, and he suffered from gains and losses, but the young man in the distance looked at the excitement as a joke without heart and lungs, which made Li Tianyang roll his eyes, and he couldn't wait to rush over and kick each of them now. But now that the overall situation has been decided, he is also in a good mood, and he can eat this meal with peace of mind.

"You little conscienceless, you are out in the wild every day during this time, and you don't know how much to talk to my old woman here!" Old Madam Wu lovingly picked up a large piece of chicken and put it into the bowl that was already full: "What a little white-eyed wolf who can't be fed!" ”

In this regard, Li Tianyang could only smile, if he dared to interject a word, he would immediately be drowned out by Mrs. Wu's nagging. Now it is a collective life, Li Tianyang is of course much freer than before, and he runs around with a group of children every day, and rarely has the opportunity to be with the old woman and his mother. Now that Mrs. Wu seized the opportunity to count it down, it was also expected.

Sanniang also looked concerned, but her education since she was a child made her rarely intervene in the public, and she could only stare at her son from time to time, and put a little dish on him from time to time. In the past, Sanniang didn't like to show her face, but now the situation is special, she has to dine with a group of village girls, listening to their short chatter, and occasionally a few women make jokes on a larger scale can make her blush and embarrassed.

Li Tianyang hopes that his mother can go out and walk around more, instead of staying at home all day long like a regular robot, except for taking care of the house and needlework and embroidery. This kind of life is really tasteless, and it is not conducive to her physical and mental health, so even Li De is not very close to this wife. It's a pity that the character habits that have been developed for a long time are so easy to change, even if Li Tianyang has worked too it, it has no effect.

However, this crisis gave Sanniang a chance to contact with the outside, although Sanniang was at a loss many times and looked red-faced, which made Li Tianyang feel that such a mother was more lovely than usual.

Wu Daofu sat on the table and followed the surrounding villagers to play haha, draw fists and orders, and mingle with everyone, looking like he was having a lot of fun, but his mind was more on the wine on the table. So far, he has not noticed any changes in the drinks on their table, although he is not a master taster and is not very aware of the subtle changes in the drinks. But he has been traveling south and north for so many years, and he has drunk countless fine wines, and he still has the confidence of whether the wine is adulterated, you must know that he has seen the whole adulteration process of them, and it is impossible for him to feel no such a big change in the wine that is directly mixed with water when he intends to distinguish it.

"Could it be that they just made a small fuss and just stole a few jars at random?" But looking at the young men who were not far away from the wine altar and did not leave, he felt that it was impossible. But where did he think that just because their table was dominated by fellow pirates, drinking wine was like drinking water, and the speed was more than twice as fast as other wine tables, and in a short period of time, three jars of fine wine entered their stomachs. Although he intended to be restrained, he was also poured almost 3 catties of wine into his stomach by his brothers, although his brain was still clear, but his body was already slightly drunk, and even his sitting posture began to shake, not to mention this little tongue, he had long been numb in the wine, and where could he still distinguish the wine behind.

Wu Yongkang also deliberately controlled the speed of drinking today, in addition to the necessary entertainment, more often than not, he just took a sip with the sea bowl, which meant something. Their table is basically the most prominent and senior person in the village, so the table is much more gentle than other tables. Seeing that everyone was a little drunk, Wu Yongkang cleared his throat, picked up the sea bowl and stood up again, slapped his big hand on the table a few times, and the noise around gradually became quieter.

"Today's meal, mainly to celebrate the completion of the two avenues under our feet, it is incredible to think about it, half a month ago we were still standing in front of a ruin, and now we have not spent a penny to build such a beautiful two avenues, think I Wu Yongkang has spent more than 60 years and has never seen a more beautiful road than our feet, just for this matter, it should be a big white!" After speaking, Wu Yongkang's flushed face was filled with great relief, and he drank the wine in his hand.

The surrounding villagers were also honored and echoed: "That's right! "That's true!" "!" They all drank the wine in the bowl with pride and cheered for themselves in unison!

"Of course, such a beautiful thing, how can it be so quiet, I am ready to speak to my parents tomorrow with this old face, and let the villagers of ten miles and eight towns see the demeanor and ability of our Tanmen folks! Let them know that we're not just a rough guy, everyone says, isn't it!! Taking advantage of everyone's enthusiasm, Wu Yongkang finally revealed his little Jiujiu.

Tanmen was originally a den of thieves, most of the people were under the influence of such an environment, and they couldn't help but look down on culture and education, otherwise there would be only one old master Zheng in a huge Tanmen of more than 1,000 people, but it stopped there, and he was stuck here for decades. This is a small outlier in Qiongzhou, which has a very strong literary style, so in the mouths of most of the surrounding rural people who have suffered losses in several confrontations, most of them ridicule Tanmen as a rude place, and it is also a barbaric place in the eyes of the county magistrate.
