Chapter 1250: Rejoicing with the People
The old and young masters spoke straightforwardly, and Liao Fan could only laugh awkwardly. Taihang Mountain is half of his hometown, no matter how good he is outside, he still feels ashamed of his father and fellow villagers, after all, there are 10,000 soldiers buried on the back hill, and more than half of them are Taihang Mountain people.
And many young people who went out to fight never returned to these mountains, maybe they will never have the opportunity to see such a majestic mountain range again, how can Liao Fan not be ashamed when he thinks of these things?
Perhaps the soldiers buried on the back hill have relatives among these old men, and it is the most important thing for the army to take special care of them, because some of them are most likely the only ones in their entire family who survived this war.
Don't look at the warmth of their bodies now that they are full, but in that trance moment, have they ever recalled their relatives who died in battle!
The war has brought pain and scars to all of them, and no one wants to uncover the scars that no time can erase.
"Uncle, if I have time these days, I will definitely go to see you!"
"Why are you so ignorant, why are you going to see him, come to my house and ask your aunt to give you pancakes!"
Liao Fan's words caused trouble, he instantly became a sweetheart, more than a dozen old grandfathers basking in the sun rushed to pull him to their homes, and the treatment of soldiers in Taihang Mountain was not bad.
It's hard to be gracious, but it's not polite for Liao Fan to take turns to go to more than a dozen people's homes to eat, he wants to go to eat, he can't be empty-handed, right?
Liao Fan is really shy when he comes back this time, and it is impossible to lick his face and ask Old Man Huang to borrow money.
"Otherwise, we will be in the courtyard on the south side of the village tonight, and everyone will be lively together, how about it?"
In order to be happy, when the time comes, one person can bring something to eat, which is enough for them to have a meal, and Liao Fan can also bring something casually, anyway, there are so many people, and no one will pay special attention to what he brings.
"Okay, this is a good solution, although we old guys bask in the sun here every day, we haven't really gotten together to eat."
"That's it!"
It seems that the old men are also happy, as if Liao Fan is just a medium for them.
Not long after eating at noon, Huang Changsheng and the three of them were about to leave!
"Let's go, let's go, don't make it look like life and death, go home and take a look at Changsheng, the old man still thinks about you!"
Before leaving, Liao Fan told Huang Changsheng to go home more, although Old Man Huang was also very close to Liao Fan, but in the old man's heart, no one could replace Huang Changsheng.
After a short reunion, there is a long parting again, but Liao Fan still has to live in Taihang Mountain for a while.
"You go out to dinner with me at night!" Liao Fan said to Huai Yuanliang and Jiang Gongzi.
"Eat? Where to eat? ”
"Hmm...... In this village, do you two know what to do? ”
"Brother Fan, aren't we going to eat? Why do you still want us to cook? ”
Jiang Gongzi thought to himself that since it was the other party who invited him to dinner, shouldn't it be the host's family cooking? How did it become a guest's house to cook, there has been no such tradition for thousands of years.
"What nonsense, order the two of you, before tonight, you must make two dishes!"
After Liao Fan came back, he thought about it carefully, and then he came back to his senses, it seemed that he was also put on a table by those old men, who didn't really want to invite Liao Fan to dinner, but wanted to take this opportunity to celebrate.
But Liao Fan doesn't mind anymore, rejoicing with the people and having fun with the people is also what they should do, and the opportunity is rare.
But this has created a problem for Jiang Gongzi and Huai Yuanliang, Huang Changsheng can cook, because he is a married person who can occasionally cook and help, but neither of them is married, usually they either eat a big pot of rice, or follow Liao Fan to eat, where have they cooked in person?
The two of them stared at each other, but fortunately, at noon today, Huang Changsheng took them to familiarize themselves with the kitchen, otherwise they wouldn't even know how to make a fire when they arrived in the kitchen.
"What can I do?"
After an hour of busy work, the two of them looked at the black charcoal in the bowl and couldn't tell what it was.
"Hey~ I didn't expect to do things for a lifetime, but in the end I found that I couldn't cook, and I suddenly felt a sadness in my life!"
Huai Yuanliang has experienced a lot of things, but in terms of cooking, it seems that he is really stumped.
"I have a solution."
Sometimes sitting at home and trying to figure out how to find a way may not be a way, and going out for a walk may be really rewarding.
Within ten minutes of going out, they found out that there was a party in the south courtyard of the village tonight, and it seemed that almost the whole village would attend.
Why is it the whole village to participate, because Liao Fan underestimated the propaganda ability of these old grandfathers, and the village is not big, a little thing is enough to alarm the whole village, there is no secret at all.
So Jiang Gongzi and Huai Yuanliang were able to hear such earth-shattering news as soon as they went out.
"Brother Fan, what did you do?"
Huai Yuanliang exclaimed, Liao Fan can make some movement anywhere, it seems that this movement is not small, but the person who wipes his ass seems to have become him and the Jiang family's salary.
"With so many people, it's definitely not enough for us to prepare two dishes, so it's better for us to ...... directly"
Since so many people come to join in the fun, there will definitely be more people watching the excitement than eating, and eating is no longer an important thing.
"The two of us pooled our money to buy a sheep, and everyone will try it when the time comes."
Originally, according to Jiang Gongzi's intention, he went to the mountains to hunt, which was the most money-saving way, but after thinking about it, they decided that it was more suitable to spend money to buy it.
There was nothing special about the party in the evening, it was purely entertainment, and even they had forgotten that Liao Fan was coming, and it had completely become a time for the local villagers to entertain themselves.
Huai Yuanliang and Jiang Gongzi have no intention of caring about what the people are entertaining, what they care about is their mutton, and if they can eat one more bite, they all spend their own money to buy it.
In the end, many people did not know why there was such a party, but they remembered that since the beginning of the war, they had not had such a thing that made the whole village happy.
Liao Fan became a bystander at this gathering, he sat quietly in front of the fire, listening to the villagers pushing cups and changing lamps, recalling his previous life in Taihang Mountain, and hoping that he would have such a happy and relaxed life in the future.
But who knows if this happiness is based on great sadness?
Huai Yuanliang and Jiang Gongzi ate mouths full of oil, and it is estimated that the two of them are the two of them who eat the most at this banquet.
Back at the residence, Liao Fan looked at the two of them, and suddenly felt so hungry, only to realize that he hadn't eaten anything at all.
"Do you still eat? I didn't eat tonight, why don't you make one for the two of you?" Of course, Liao Fan asked politely, looking at the appearance of the two of them, he couldn't eat anymore.
However, Jiang Gongzi's answer made Huai Yuanliang stunned: "Okay! ”
As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Gongzi immediately burped a full "hiccup~"
"I'm sorry, I didn't hold back!"
"Are you sure you want to eat more?" Liao Fan looked at Jiang Gongzi suspiciously.
Jiang Gongzi turned his head to look at Huai Yuanliang: "Can we eat some more?" ”
"Hmm...... I should be able to eat a little bit as well......" Huai Yuanliang tried his best to hold back and not let himself burp after saying something like Jiang Gongzi.
"Okay, I'll do it, and you guys don't force it!"
Although Liao Fan's cooking is not as delicate as that cooked by the chef, it is still okay to fill his stomach.
"Let's eat in the kitchen, Old Man Huang has already fallen asleep!"
Old Man Huang didn't attend tonight's party, it's not that he is unsociable, but Huang Changsheng came back at noon today to toss around, he was really tired, in order not to disturb the old man's rest, the three of them lived together in the kitchen.
"Can't eat?" Liao Fan looked at the appearance of the two people, and they didn't seem to have any appetite at all.
"It's a bit too much to eat!"
"Then let's sit and talk for a while, Lao Huai, is there a call from Luoyang today?"
It had been two days since they had traveled from Luoyang to Taihang Mountain, and Director Peng should send them a telegram or make a phone call to report the situation in Luoyang.
"Brother Fan, if there is no news by tomorrow morning, I'll call them!"
Director Peng may have something delayed, after all, Luoyang is not the same as Taihang Mountain, Liao Fan can not do anything in Taihang Mountain, but in Luoyang, it is estimated that Director Peng will not be idle 24 hours a day.
"Jiang Gongzi, you can also make a call tomorrow."
Chairman Chiang has already arranged to go to the Magnesium Country, and they will take a boat to leave, and it will take half a month to reach the other side of the ocean, but there is a radio on board, so they should be able to contact Chairman Chiang.
After Liao Fan returned to Taihang Mountain, the two people who were worried were Chairman Jiang and Chairman Meow.
Chairman Chiang was seriously injured and could only go to the Magnesium Country for treatment, but the journey was not an easy thing to go to the Magnesium Country.
"Okay, don't embarrass you, pack up and go to bed."
Liao Fan ate something casually, and went back to sleep without cleaning up. Although I was very tired, I was tossing and turning in bed, and I couldn't sleep at all.
He was wondering what Chairman Meow's reaction would be if he really knew the outcome of the matter? He will definitely not be in a good mood and attack the people around him, if it is Liao Fan, he will definitely be autistic.
This group of them has already endured a lot in the war, and now that they are peaceful, they no longer have to let their relatives suffer the pain of the war, but they have ushered in their own hands, who can bear it?
Sometimes Liao Fan also felt that he was too cruel, leaving Chairman Meow alone in Luoyang and letting him bear these things alone.
Fortunately, there are Director Peng and Minister Zhou in Luoyang, they have always been the closer people around Chairman Meow, with them, Liao Fan is not guilty in his heart, and they have no way to help in this matter, so they can only accompany them through this difficulty.
