The red-faced Hu Yanzi kept pinching his red nose as he spoke. He was full of alcohol, but he was eating wine with his good brother Zhou Dabao in the ditch. Because the night was already very deep, the Bentun men who had gone home with him during the day and had eaten wine and sheep had all eaten and drunk to their own homes. Now there are only those left, and he and his good brother Zhou Dabao still haven't enough to eat the wine in the bowl.

Both of them sat cross-legged on the kang, and between the two of them was a low table with vermilion lacquer. There were a lot of leftover mutton bones and some cold food scattered on the table. In addition, there are several jars of wine jars with mud seals, which are piled up on the ground under the kang.

There were several large oil candles burning in the room, although black smoke came out when they were burned. But it was very bright in the room.

"Haha! Slide... Brother Slipper! Isn't it... Isn't it the family's... Miss you? You just hit it? Yes? ... Belch! ”

Zhou Dabao, who has already been drunk and drunk. Holding half a bowl of unfinished drink. Seeing that his good brother kept touching his nose. But he laughed and made a joke about nonsense.

Hu Laozi had a stalk in his neck, and the corners of his mouth went up: "Hey! It's the little lady of the family who thinks about me, and she can't think of your big child! You kid is greedy! ”

Zhou Dabao said: "Don't be greedy! Don't be greedy! If I was hungry, I could still give it up, back then... Back then in the ditch, give... Make a living for the old/Hu family. Go... Going to the bull market to do something else? ...”

Listening to Zhou Dabao's words, Hu Yuzi, who looked drunk, couldn't help but wake up. But he heard the meaning of his own words, the words of the Da Baozi brothers. After drinking the bowl dry, there was not much wine left, but he sighed and said, "You kid... No... It's not that you can't put it down... My brother's daughter, right? ...”

Zhou Dabao, who is also drunk and giggling. But he couldn't help but be stunned, but he didn't want to say what was on his mind inadvertently when he was eating and laughing with the slippery brothers just now. Also after drinking the wine in the bowl, he smiled and said, "How can it!" How long has it been! What else do I want her to do? Right now, I am also a person with a mother-in-law and a baby. I also have my own house in Niushifang... Although it is sometimes very tiring to help under the second master of the Kua family, it is also nourishing. When it's okay, you can still eat better, the wine given by the second master or something. Pour also... Belch! ... I poured the moisture that I lived! ”

Hu Yanzi smacked his mouth, although he still wanted to say something. But when the words come to my mouth, I don't know why, it's just hard to speak. But he knew that he was the big Baozi brother, why he had to give up in the first place and settle down in the ditch. Instead, he chose to go to the Bull Market to help the Kua family.

But it was because of the daughter of his own brother... At the beginning, I met first, this Orion Ohoko brother who often came to the ditch to send the beaten skins in exchange for some goods. After that, the two intersected with each other, but they gradually became acquainted. and because they were very angry, they became good brothers later.

Whenever Da Baozi comes to the ditch to deliver skins, because he has his own help. The skin of the Ohoko brothers can also be exchanged for more goods. Later, once Da Baozi came to the ditch, when he was eating wine at home. But it was a coincidence, and I happened to meet the daughter of the brother-in-law who came from home and was looking for my mother-in-law.

Because although this brother is in the ditch with his own generation. But he was much older than him. His daughter is also naturally old, not a few years younger than himself. In the original ditch, she can be regarded as a well-known little lady.

It was at that time that the Ohoko brothers met, the daughter of the brother's family... Later, the two of them were also under their own prodding, and they almost became a couple... It's a pity that his brother is short-sighted and dislikes the big hoko brothers, and he is just a poor hunter who begs for a living in the woods. Not worthy of his old/Hu family's daughter... Thus, this pile of pro... also didn't work out under the mixing of his own brother. Therefore, he and that brother had a fight in front of everyone in the ditch.

In the end, the daughter of the brother's family married into another tunzi in the forest, an old rich family. After that, the Da Hoko brothers also gave up and continued to beg for a living in the forest, and did not exchange the skins they had brought in the ditch for goods. Instead, he went to the bull market and became a helper for the famous Kuajia...

"Alas! She! It's not going to be a good time now! didn't give birth to the old rich family, but gave birth to a few daughters to the old rich family. Although there is our old/Hu family to support it, the old rich family also dares to do anything, but this desperate gossip is enough for my brother's daughter..."

In the end, Hu Yuzi, who still couldn't hold back his mouth, still told the current situation of the brother's daughter. Although the brother was very satisfied with his daughter, he was married to a good family. But now I don't know what it's like.

Zhou Dabao listened to Hu Luozi's words, and his expression couldn't help but be stunned. But he hadn't heard from her since he left the ditch... Suddenly, when I heard her news, I couldn't help but feel that there was something unspeakable, and an indescribable taste hit my heart. Tormenting him, he was himself again, picked up less than half a jar of wine, and poured himself a full bowl.

Looking at Zhou Dabao, who poured himself full of wine, Hu Yuzi shook his head helplessly. Then he picked up the wine jar that was about to reach the bottom, and poured himself a full bowl. The two of them were speechless but very tacit, and each stretched out the bowl in his hand to touch. Then they each tilted their necks and drank the wine in the bowl in one go.

Zhou Dabao, who drank the wine in the bowl, felt panicked if he didn't say anything. And in front of him is his good brother, but he also feels that there is nothing to hide. So after drinking the wine, he said with the strength of the wine: "I, I said... Slipper... Brother Slipper! Hey! Originally... Actually, it's really thanks to you. Although in the end, I couldn't say that I had a relationship with her. But, but I'm a big boy, I still accept your brother's love very much! Alas! I, actually, I was actually thinking that if... If you follow, if you become close to her. Just stay in the ditch and don't go, so... We brothers, too.. And we can be together... But it didn't work out... Hey! Your brother doesn't look down on me at all! Also! I'm just a big boy, begging for a living in the woods... It's not as good as the old money in our forest. She... Alas! Don't say anything! It's been so many years, and that's all I think! ”

Zhou Dabao said the emotion in his heart, and then grabbed a handful with his bare hands, stuffed the lamb crumbs on the table into his mouth and ate them. While eating the broken sheep, he continued: "Besides... I have a home now... Now it's also a mother-in-law and a baby. What else could you ask for? Wait, wait, wait... The wolf's head stopped. Brother Slipper, you... You'll come to the Bull Market to take a look, my home in the Bull Market! Hey! By the way, take a look at my mother-in-law and baby! ”

"Good! Good! Good! After a while, I must go to the bull market to see how much wealth your kid has now! ”

Hu Yuzi listened to the words of the Da Baozi brothers, and said to the Da Baozi brothers with a smile. Although Brother Da Baozi said it freely, he could still see that in the hearts of Brother Da Baozi, the daughter of his brother's family still has a lot of weight. But he's not easy to tell...

"I said Brother Ohoko, your kid's belly is not small! I've drunk so much good wine, and I haven't gotten down yet. It's still the same as back then! ”

"What's wrong? Feel sorry for your drink? Ha ha! Brother Slipper, your wine is really energetic! Hey! It's worthy of the brother you brought from Guanli, compared with the wine in our forest, you can really drink something different. I have also been helping in the workshop for many years. The wine in the Kuajia wine shop is also often drunk. But compared to the drinks in this level, it's a little worse. ”

"That's nature! The wine brewed in our forest, even if you boast of the home-brewed wine, it is not as good as what I brought from Guanli! When I bought the goods in the customs, I specially asked my friends in the customs to get them. That's all good wine! Hey! These wines, I don't want to drink them on weekdays. If it weren't for you, brother, I would have drunk some of my own brewed wine. After all, this is to buy goods in Guanli, and there is limited space on the cart. Even my nephew Wenzi followed the car into the customs to buy goods, and he only brought a few jars back. I often run to the pass, and I have been saving these drinks for many years, and sometimes I don't bring the jar back from time to time. ”

"Well, we can't afford to waste such a good drink! Come! Come! Brother Slipper, our brothers are working hard! Drink all the rest of the drink! ”

"Hey! That's nature! Even if you kid can't drink it, I'll drink it with you! ”

"Hahahaha! Such a good drink, do you still use your brother to pour it? I'll drink it myself! ”

"Hahahaha!"

As the two of them talked drunken words one by one, they both started to fight again. After a while, the last bit of wine left was also drunk by the two of them. Drink a little bit of Hu Luozi, although I really want to continue to hold on. But the big hoko brothers sitting in front of him have changed from one person to two. From two to two again... No matter how he shook his head, he couldn't shake his head. Finally, in a dizzy state, he fell back on the kang and a leather blanket behind him. After a while, he fell asleep with a snoring.

"Hey, hey! Slide.. Brother Slipper... You, you wine... Also.."

"Bang!"

didn't wait for Zhou Dabao to have the last laugh, but he also lay on the table motionless. All that was left of the room was the breathing and snoring of the two.
