In Xia Yun's impression, organizing the whole village to have a New Year's Eve dinner together was only held once more than 20 years ago when they were very young and their family was still in the village. Xia Yun had forgotten the reason. He only remembered the people. It was very lively, with a lot of delicious food, and the friends were running around almost going crazy This time, the village chief Xia Hezhi suddenly proposed to hold another New Year's Eve dinner for the whole village, and the reason was very good. ¡ø¡à¡ø¡à, As the most virtuous and respected old man in the village, the second grandfather who has been a bachelor all his life finally found his wife, daughter-in-law, granddaughter-in-law and a great-grandson. Naturally, the village had to express something Before Xia Yun came back, his old man Dad Xia Herong and mom have already agreed, and very politely offered to cover all the expenses for the New Year's Eve dinner. Under the influence of the changes in family circumstances and Xia Yun's influence, the behavior of Xia Yun's parents gradually took on the charm of a rich man. Xia Hezhi and the others refused a few times without firmness. With the persistence of Xia Herong and Xia Yun's mother, when Xia Yun came back, they had just agreed. Xia Yun naturally had no objection. He smiled and exchanged some polite greetings, and asked if the village needed a chef. He and his father could make a temporary guest appearance to ensure that the New Year's Eve dinner would not be ruined. To be honest, Xia Yun and Xia Herong's cooking skills are more than enough, but with their current status, how dare they let Xia Hezhi do the work of chefs? Leave by saying goodbye. Looking at the figures of several people running away, the father and son looked at each other and smiled, which made Xia Yun's mother roll her eyes. The day passed by in a blink of an eye. On the afternoon of New Year's Eve, Xia Yun drove a Land Rover and drove his father and mother to Xiajia Village, planning to celebrate the New Year directly in the village after the New Year's Eve dinner My sister and brother-in-law were not there. Come, go back to Xiaozhuzhu¡¯s grandfather¡¯s place to celebrate the New Year. The village is decorated with lights and colorful decorations everywhere, and red lanterns are hung under the eaves of every house, on the trees on the roadside, and on the telephone poles. From time to time, urchins whiz past in groups. The old people each moved a bench and gathered in front of the house, chatting and eating melon seeds, waiting for the New Year's Eve dinner in the evening. The whole village showed a festive and lively scene of celebrating the New Year. Seeing the Land Rover drive into the village, the villagers along the way got up one after another. Say hello to Xia Yun and Xia Rong, Xia's mother who pressed down the window in the back seat. "Ayun, He Rong, are you back?" "Mr. Zhihua, Sixth Grandpa, Sixth Grandma, Great Aunt, Uncle Heliang, Aunt Ming" Xia Yun drove the car and just smiled and nodded to say hello. Xia Herong and Xia's mother exchanged greetings along the way, "Yes, let's come back for the New Year's Eve dinner. It's rare for our village to be so lively" "It's not so lively. It hasn't been so lively for many years. There are a lot more people going home to celebrate the New Year this year, like He Ting, He Yu's family, and even He Feng's family is back! " "He Feng over there at Houshan Col? Haven't you been back for several years? Are you back this year? " "Yes, even my son, daughter-in-law, and grandson came back together, and they were just cleaning up the house! " Arriving at his old house, Xia Yun said hello to his grandparents who were chatting in the house. His uncle and aunt were not there. He went to help prepare for the New Year's Eve dinner After all, this is a rare event in the entire village in recent decades. Most of the labor force in the village has gone. Xia's mother is still lamenting the excitement this year, "I didn't expect He Feng to come back this year. I remember he was the same age as He Biao. When they were young, the two of them were the strongest. This year they came back, and He Feng came back. Have you ever talked to him? " Xia Yun's grandfather Xia Zhilian nodded, "I went to his house to sit for a while at noon! " Xia Yun's mother sighed, "I didn't expect that He Fengcai was 46 years old and had grandchildren Lao Xia. Are you 55 this year? When Xia Yun heard that something was wrong, he quickly laughed and interrupted, "Mom and dad, you guys talk, I'll go up and find the second master!" " Xia's mother glared at him. But she was too lazy to say anything and waved her hand to tell him to get lost. The gravel road from the village to the yard of the Second Master's house in Houshan has been repaired and reinforced, and widened to accommodate two cars going parallel. Outside the yard There was a dark red Ford Raptor pickup truck parked. Xia Yun glanced at the license plate and saw that it was the one from the security company. He didn't know whether it was Xia Yongfang or Xia Yongjun who drove it back. He rubbed his hands and let out a sigh of relief. The second master walked into the courtyard and saw Xia Yongjun sticking his head out of the east room and waving, "Brother Yun! "The air conditioner was on in the room, which was as warm as spring. The second master and the old lady were sitting on the sofa in the middle, watching TV. On the coffee table in front of them were a bottle of liquor, a few dishes of side dishes, and a bag of Yellow Crane Tower. Xia Yongfang and Xia YongjunOn one side, there was a wine glass in front of each other. Xia Yongjun's mother and grandmother were sitting on the sofa on the other side, working with needlework in their hands and chatting quietly. When Xia Yun entered the room, the second master held a half-smoked cigarette in his left hand, took a sip from a small wine glass, then put a few peanuts in his mouth and chewed them, half-squinting his eyes and looking like he was enjoying it. , based on Xia Yun's understanding of the Second Master, just by looking at his tipsy expression, he knew that he had drunk at least three or four taels. "Second Master, please take it easy and drink less. The main meal will be served later!" The Second Master glanced sideways at Xia Yun and ignored him. He just watched the Peking Opera on TV contentedly and kept talking. Hum a few words in a low voice. "In order to suppress the bandits, I first disguised myself as a bandit, like a sharp knife inserted into Weihu Mountain, and vowed to bury the mountain eagle in the mountain stream" Xia Yun hit a snag, shook his head helplessly, squeezed to sit next to Xia Yongfang, and complained to the old lady , "Old lady, you don't care about my second grandfather! You are so old, and you still smoke and drink every day!" The old lady smiled and stayed with the second grandfather for a while in Xiajiacun, a fierce iron-blooded person who did not approach strangers. The evil spirit has subsided a lot, and now he smiles with a kind-hearted feeling, and his words are also very free and easy, "Let him drink if he likes to drink You said that your second uncle is so old, even if he quits smoking and drinking, He may not live for a few more years, so why bother with himself?" When Xia Yun was stunned, the second master over there glared and scolded, "I told you, I have been smoking and drinking all my life. You're still alive and kicking when you're ninety-three You used to send me cigarettes and drinks every three days, but now you're the big boss. No one is around all year round, and I'm not allowed to smoke or drink. Already?" Xia Yongfang reached out and poked Xia Yun. Hehe smiled with a look of gloating on his face, but he had obviously been shaved for the same reason. "Ayun, this is what's wrong with you. You won't let the Second Master live comfortably on New Year's Eve!" Xia Yun touched his nose. He raised his hands in despair and surrendered, "Second Master, I was wrong. You can smoke and drink whatever you want. I will pull a cart over for you when you get back!" "Get out! There is no sincerity in the empty talk." The Second Master has a biological father. Now the grandson naturally looked down on Xia Yun's diligence, and he snorted and took another sip of liquor. Then asked Xia Yun, "A Jun is hanging out with A Fang now? Have you given your shares in the security company to A Jun?" "Yes." "A Jun has just returned from abroad. As an elder brother, you should take more care of him. , the security company is indeed a very suitable place" The second Taiye was not polite to Xia Yun, and smiled and accepted the shares for Xia Yongjun, and then changed the subject, "But A Fang is not reliable, you have to watch more, don't let him Ajun is becoming more and more useless like him" Xia Yun nodded without hesitation, "It's necessary!" Xia Yongfang was suddenly shot while lying down. He protested loudly, "Second Grandpa, what do you mean by that? What do you mean becoming more and more useless like me?" The Second Grandpa ignored him and continued to say to Xia Yun, "The Second Grandpa doesn't expect Ajun to be successful, as long as Just let him live a good life in peace and not follow in the footsteps of his father and grandfather!" Xia Yun continued to nod. The Second Master then turned to Xia Yongfang, who was still mumbling, "Who hid in Ajun's room in the middle of the night yesterday? I haven't forgotten what your mother shouted across the yard!" "If you have the ability, find a black girl. You have no ability to take care of the family. Your mother drove away half the village with a rolling pin. You are very promising, right?" Xia Yongfang suddenly withered. Now it was Xia Yun's turn to gloat. He reached out and poked Xia Yongfang, "Brother Fang. This is what you did wrong. You came here to disturb the second master and the old lady from their rest in the middle of the night. Are you guilty of this?" I thought of last night! Xia Yongfang hid in his room in embarrassment, and Xia Yongjun also snickered. Xia Yongfang rolled his eyes and was too lazy to pay attention to these two damaged goods. He poured a glass of white wine and drank it in one gulp. Xia Yun chuckled. Just as he was about to continue teasing, the old lady said with a smile, "Ayun, your second uncle has taken the decision regarding the shares, so I won't say thank you" Xia Yun was just about to say that you're welcome, when the old lady continued, "However, shares belong to shares, and you can't really let go A Fang and A Jun are both the type who only grow muscles but not brains. It's okay to kill people and set fires, but in serious matters, they will only succeed but fail! " Xia Yongfang poured another glass depressedly. I know I'm not the one, but old lady, you don't have to be so straightforward, right? Xia Yun nodded seriously and agreed, but felt a little embarrassed. This old manHe really couldn't adapt to his wife's way of thinking and speaking. Whether it was her free and easy attitude towards the second wife's smoking and drinking just now or her unceremonious instructions to him now, they were completely different from the national conditions of the big ****. "What do you mean by letting go? I haven't given up yet!" However, Xia Yun just complained in his heart. The security company will cooperate with Daquan next, and Brother Fang really can't handle all the matters. He won't neglect it without the old lady's orders. The old lady smiled again, "You have a special status now, and what you do is also a bit dangerous. There are not many others in our circle, but there are quite a few good players who can fight and kill. If you encounter any problems, just say it, the circle can help. Yes, we must go all out!¡± If Xia Yun¡¯s previous relationship with Gao Zhengpeng and Daquan was a semi-official cooperation, then as the old lady is in Daquan, what she says now is that she regards Xia Yun as a real person. One of our own. At least the relationship between Xia Yun and Guoan is much closer, so it will be much easier to recruit people to do things if something happens. Xia Yun was not polite, and nodded again with a smile, "I understand, old lady!" The old lady also nodded, not knowing what she was thinking of, and fell silent. The topic stopped here, but the second master's drunkenness came back. The three Xia Yun brothers drank a few drinks with him, and then the old lady suddenly said, "By the way, A Yun, A Jun is not young anymore. It¡¯s time to get a wife. Help him find a few suitable girls to go on a blind date with!¡± ¡°Pfft!¡± ¡°Ahem!¡± He started coughing and looked at the old lady in shock, "Grandma, I'm still too young to want to" The old lady and the second master glared at him at the same time, and immediately stared back at Xia Yongjun's next words. Xia Yongfang was also taken aback, and then immediately put on an expression of gloating, wrapped his arms around Xia Yongjun's neck, smiled strangely and nodded in agreement, "Yes, yes, Ajun is not young anymore, it's time for him to I have found a wife. Don¡¯t worry, Second Grandpa and Grandma, Ajun¡¯s marriage will be taken care of by us. I will definitely find him a beautiful wife¡± The Second Grandpa and the old lady looked at Xia Yongfang silently, not even saying a word. Xia Yongjun's mother and grandma also put down their sewing work and looked at Xia Yongfang silently. Under the silent gaze of the family, Xia Yongfang's voice became smaller and smaller, and finally he laughed dryly, shrugged and closed his mouth. "Okay, pretend I didn't say anything." Then, everyone's eyes focused on Xia Yun. Xia Yun put down the wine glass and pointed to his nose innocently "Me?" "Help Ajun find a wife?" The old lady smiled and nodded without saying anything. Xia Yun scratched his head, "Old lady, have you made a mistake For this kind of thing, you and the second master should go to my mother or my aunt. They should be happy to be the matchmaker!" The old lady shook her head. , "My second wife and I have looked at the ones they introduced, and they are not very suitable." What the second master said was much more straightforward, "The girls your mother introduced to them don't look like crooked melons and cracked jujubes. , just fall in the eyes of money, not a person who lives a good life. I heard that you dated several girls at the same time, and all of them are very good. Ask them to help you touch one Your boy is not good at other things, so find a woman. His skills are quite reliable, and the Second Master doesn¡¯t need much, as long as you help A Jun find someone who is similar!¡± It turns out that I have already looked for him, but I just didn¡¯t like him. Xia Yun rubbed his nose under great pressure, and finally retreated under the eyes of the second master, "I know" The second master poured Xia Yun a glass of wine with satisfaction, "Be smart, it's best to get married and have children next year. Baby, there will be another child the year after tomorrow. The second grandfather and your grandma are just waiting for a great-great-grandson!¡± You are good, come and have a drink!" The second master grinned and patted Xia Yun on the shoulder. Just as he was about to say something, the voice of the village chief Xia Hezhi came from the yard outside. "Second uncle, secondsecond uncle, it's almost time, the New Year's Eve dinner is about to begin!" (To be continued.)
