Qin Shen's Inn

After the rich and exciting New Year's Eve dinner, Qin Shen took Zhang Qihai outside to set off fireworks, more energetic than children playing, the real children Diu Diu and Longlong leaned against each other, sitting next to each other Talking at the window position.Diudiu is sharing with Longlong the New Year gift his father gave him, the set of books about Chinese mythology.

"Wow, this is a dragon, the blue one, it's my father."

Turning the pages of the book, I stopped on the page of the Sifang God. There are green dragons and white tigers, and red bird and basalt. The illustrations are very beautiful, and the details are vivid.There is a small plum blossom footprint next to the big white eye-catching tiger. Longlong pointed at this and asked Diudiu, "What is this?"

"This is the signature." Diu Diu touched the lazy little milk cat in his arms, and the soft short hair "flowed" over his fingertips, which was more comfortable than fine velvet.Diudiu's little hand rested on the little milk cat's neck, and he stroked the cat like a flick of his fingertips. The kitten raised its neck and made a comfortable "purring" sound from its throat. Looking at the page, the eye-catching white tiger was dressed in black and white. Two-colored fur, round tiger eyes, sharp tiger teeth with a cold light, and sharp barbs popping out from the thick palm with the mouth of a bowl, which is so hard that it can tear everything apart in an instant.

"Dabai's signature for me."

Longlong looked at the big tiger and then at the little milk cat, well, it was the same one.

Diu Diu took out the second volume, opened to the chapter on the door god, raised his chin proudly, "Look, this is signed by the door god."

"Cool." Looking at the flamboyant signatures on both sides of the door god statue, Long Long sighed in admiration.Hearing the voice of father and father talking in his ears, Longlong's eyes lit up, and he jumped off the chair, "Dudiu, I'll ask Daddy to sign for you too."

After a while, Longlong dragged his father over, and he pulled hard in front, urging, "Father, hurry up." Qinglong Shenjun fell behind, walking at his own pace, and the food Longlong took out The strength of the milk is as light as a feather to him, lest the child suddenly relax

He fell out behind his hand, and his thumb clasped the back of the child's hand.

Longlong blushed, and finally pulled his father to the table by the window. He raised his arm and wiped the sweat that didn't exist on his forehead, "Huh, I'm so exhausted..."

Longlong's mouth was covered by Diudiu, "Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu" blinking doubtful eyes and asking vaguely why.

Diudiu said to Longlong seriously, "Speak auspicious words during the Chinese New Year."

Longlong blinked and nodded to show that he understood.

Diu Diu let go of his mouth, and imitated an adult and said, "Children's words are not taboo, don't blame, don't blame."

Longlong pouted, and said it like a parrot, "Children's words are free, don't blame, don't blame."

The children's interaction made the adults around them laugh.

Longlong pulled Qinglong Shenjun over to ask his father to sign Diudiu's book, found a signature pen and stuffed it into his hand, "Daddy signed it, and Dabai also signed it."

Hong Ye, who followed, picked up a book on the table to read, and found something after flipping through a few pages, "This...how is it so similar to the real one?" Turning to the title page, seeing the author's name, Cai Yu Wei, "This name is a bit familiar, and I can't remember where I saw it before."

"Eastern Ghost Emperor, the one guarding Fengdu." Qinglong Shenshenjun flipped through a few pages, and found that the portraits in this set of calligraphy and painting were also avoided a lot, so as not to arouse the anger of the characters in the book, "Look, there are more A description of a mountain god."

Hong Ye quickly skimmed through the text, "...I feel that this is written according to me. I am afraid that I am the only mountain god in the world now."

"It should be that there are countless tourists with spirits in famous mountains and great rivers, and ticket sales continue. It is not a good living environment, and the gods cannot be kept."

Qinglong Shenjun picked up a pen and wrote a name next to the corresponding Qinglong illustration—Meng Zhang, in simplified Chinese, and there was a slight flash of light after the text was completed.

The names of the gods are powerful, and mortal Taoists can get twice the result with half the effort by uttering their real names. However, whether it is written by Qinglong Shenjun now or spoken by Taoists, it is not the real appearance of their real names, the real imprint of their appearance In their own hearts, they will not hand over to others easily.

Hong Ye took the pen from Meng Zhang, and took advantage of the opportunity to sign his name on the page describing the mountain god, "I will also write one, and I hope Xiao Diu Diu can collect all of them."

"Yeah." Diudiu nodded excitedly with bright eyes.

……

Outside the courtyard, "咻咻——" fireworks cut through the air and bloomed countless dots on the sky. The dots form various patterns, such as peonies competing for beauty, footprints moving forward, cute bears and swans leading their necks... ...Zhang Tenghai found fireworks made by the most powerful master in the place where fireworks are abundant. Looking at the current effect, the money is not wasted.

"The swans are moving, they spread their wings and fly." The children were attracted by the fireworks, and Diudiu pointed to the patterns in the sky with his head up.

At this moment, the fireworks flying into the sky form the pattern of a swan. The pattern does not stay motionless in the sky, but changes into different postures with the burning time. From the floating water just now, it spreads its wings and takes off step by step. The fireworks dissipate, like The soaring swan disappeared into the sky.

Qin Shen lit a firework stick for Diu Diu and Longlong, and the lighted firework stick "squeaked" into brilliant flames. The two children carried the firework sticks and chased each other in the small courtyard of the inn. After chasing for a while, they stopped. Use fireworks sticks to draw various patterns in the air, leaving afterimages.

They stood outside, very close to the courtyard gate, which was open, and the lanterns hanging outside cast dim light on the ground.A huge shadow suddenly jumped in from the light, stretched into a long and distorted shape, "Roar!" This figure let out a terrifying roar.

Diudiu was taken aback and wanted to back away, but Longlong grabbed him, his eyes were full of inquisitiveness, "Diudiu, let's go out and have a look. Isn't there a Nian beast during the Chinese New Year, maybe this is , let's catch it and see."

Diudiu threw away the extinguished firework stick in his hand, and grabbed Longlong's with this free hand, lest he rush out all at once, "No, we are still young, we can't beat it."

"It's okay, let's take a look at the door first, if it's very powerful, call Dad and the others." Longlong moved his little feet eagerly, and if he didn't hesitate, he would definitely rush out immediately, he continued. : "If it's not very powerful, we can catch it."

Diudiu was moved by Longlong's persuasion, and nodded hesitantly.

The two little guys looked at the adults, seeing that they were all busy with their own affairs and didn't take care of them. They looked at each other and tiptoed towards the gate of the courtyard.

A lamp is raised high outside the inn, and a dim yellow light emanates from the lantern. It lights up at sunset and goes out at sunrise. No matter it is spring, summer, autumn and winter, wind or rain, the mermaid oil in it remains unchanged all year round. to guide the guests who come to the inn at night.

The light only illuminates the outside of the inn's courtyard door, and it cannot penetrate the barrier to shine into the inn. There is no additional light source installed in the small courtyard, and it is dark near the courtyard door. Two small heads poked out from the door, curiously and nervously Staring at the huge shadow outside.

"Longlong, this shadow is moving." Diudiu whispered, suppressing his voice.

Longlong nervously swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and also lowered his voice, "I also noticed it, it seems to be getting closer, what a scary shadow."

The shadow was pulled and deformed under the light. It can be roughly seen that this monster is on all fours, has a big head and a long tail. The tail moves quickly, and the tip of the tail seems to be burning with flames, constantly jumping.

The sound of "huluhulu" came from the monster's mouth, and the sound of heavy footsteps approached continuously.

The two little guys at the door retracted their heads in fear. They didn't expect the monster to move so fast and flew over. It was too late for the two of them to escape.

"Dead dog, go away, don't act like a spoiled child at Diudiu." The little milk cat who had been guarding the two children became angry, flew out like a streamer, stretched out its immature paws and kicked the little monster's head hard On the road, the little monster was stunned for a moment, covered his head and lay down, crying "woo woo woo".

Diudiu hurriedly hugged Dabai, pressed his paw that was about to move and wanted to give the puppy a second time, grabbed Dabai's two front paws in disapproval and said, "The puppy is still young, it will hurt if you beat it like this." .”

"Aww, I'm small too."

"Dabai, you just made your body smaller with your greedy mouth."

"... woo woo woo." The White Tiger God pretended to cry, broke away from Diu Diu's hand, turned around and walked into the house, leaving Diu Diu with a lonely back, "Little cabbage, yellow ground..."

After walking for a while with his head down, his body suddenly soared into the air. He was hugged by a slender and powerful hand and embraced in a warm embrace. The White Tiger God Lord raised his head aggrieved.

Qin Shen hugged the kitten with one hand, stretched out his index finger and middle finger with the other hand to scratch the kitten's chin, "If you want to say auspicious words during the New Year, you are not allowed to sing the song just now, you should sing 'Happy New Year, Happy New Year, I wish you all a Happy New Year'..."

"..." The white tiger god turned into petrification, and buried his head in Qin Shen's arms lonely. Let him be quiet in this merciless and cruel world.

The culprit that made Baihu Shenjun so deeply hit was an unknown little animal that looked like a puppy. It looked as big as a football when it squatted on the ground. Extending to the middle of the back, the tail is as long as two bodies, and it is also red, and it is constantly flicking because of excitement.

The tip of the tail is surrounded by a tuft of hair, which is shaped like a jumping flame.

"It was you, did you escape from the cage?" Diudiu stretched out his hand and touched the little beast's head, and the little beast happily rubbed his head against Diudiu's palm.

The hair pricked the palm of his hand, itching, Diu Diu laughed.

This little beast is the one that Diudiu followed Qin Shen and Zhang Tenghai to the Baidang Mountain Fair. The little beast escaped from Mo’s booth for some unknown reason and had fun on Baidang Mountain for several times. God, tonight I was so hungry that I touched the door of the inn.

"Gululu~" The belly groan came from the little beast's stomach.

The little beast lay on the ground pitifully, looked at Diudiu expectantly with a pair of big eyes, and let out a flattering "woo woo" sound from its mouth.

"Wow, the puppy is so cute, it's hungry, let's give it something to eat." Longlong squatted beside Diudiu, stretched out his claws to touch the puppy, but the puppy avoided him Yes, he is also very wronged.

"Yeah, let's carry it."

Longlong T^T, "Whoa, I want to hug too, I'm going to be jealous."

The little monster sneaked up to Diudiu's feet, and hugged Diudiu's shoes with its two front paws. It was obvious that it wanted to be hugged by Diudiu.

Diu Diu first patted Longlong's big head to comfort him, then picked up the little monster and said, "Come on, let's go in. Let me talk to it, you can feed it."

Instantly full of energy, Longlong turned around and followed Diudiu step by step.

"Hey, it's this little guy who wanders outside during the Chinese New Year. Is it the Nian beast?" Qin Shen looked at the "puppy" in Diudiu's arms while holding the tantrum kitten.

"No." Hong Ye also leaned over, "It's a unicorn. Let me explain to you, there is no such thing as a Nian beast. There is no such thing as a monster named 'Nian' with sharp teeth and horns on its head. , it was a mortal who saw a creature similar to it during the Spring Festival and screamed out indiscriminately."

"A creature seen by mortals?"

Hong Ye raised his chin, "It's the kind in Diudiu's arms, Qilin."

Qilin is a benevolent beast with a dragon head, antlers, lion eyes, tiger back, bear waist, snake scales, horseshoes, and oxtail. It is a huge beast with a gentle temperament. It was regarded as an auspicious treasure by the ancients. Good things will happen wherever it goes. But ordinary people in ancient times were short-sighted. When they saw such a strange beast, they regarded it as a monster and drove it away with firecrackers. It happened to be the Spring Festival that day, so they called it the Nian Beast.

Qin Shen looked at the little "dog" that was thrown on the table, "This is very different from the one in the legend."

"Wooooo." Little Qilin looked at Qin Shen innocently.

Hong Ye stretched out his hand and scratched the little unicorn's head. The skin hidden under the thick hair was covered with hard and small scales, which proved what he said was true. Now, when he comes back, I'll ask him if any juniors have slipped out of his house."

"...This is far from the image of Xuanwu."

Hong Ye shrugged, "In modern terms, there is reproductive isolation between different creatures. Qilin and Xuanwu are spirit beasts conceived by the same heaven and earth. Whose children are more like."

If you write a paper on whether the combination of different organisms can conceive children, you can't finish writing a palm-thick paper, so I won't go into details here.

"Then he is quite different from his parents."

"Uh, maybe they didn't combine well when they were combined in the womb."

"..."

Diudiu and Longlong took out a plate of sliced ​​braised pork and several steamed buns from the kitchen, eager to feed these things to the little mixed-race unicorn.

Qin Shen stopped him for a while, and said hesitantly: "Isn't it good to feed small animals with salt?!"

"Meow, I'm hungry too, give me something to eat." The little milk cat finally stopped pretending to be deep, and strongly demanded to eat. It leaned out of Qin Shen's arms with more than half of its body, with its two front legs facing the direction of Diu Diu. Send, "Meow, I want to eat Diu Diu."

Diudiu said: "You ate a lot at night, you can't eat any more, and it will go up if you are full."

"Whooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo." This time the white tiger god is really going to cry, his heart hurts when he failed in the fight for favor.

Just like the white tiger king in the form of a cat eats Haisai and eats the world poorly, the little mixed-race unicorn also doesn’t have to worry about whether the food contains salt or not, whether it is spicy or not, as long as it cares about whether it tastes good or not, and whether it suits your appetite.

Because Diu Diu liked it, this little mixed-race unicorn temporarily stayed in the inn, waiting for his parents to pick him up. The little unicorn who lived in the inn followed Diu Diu all the time. After the end of the New Year's Eve, Qin Shen would not be able to support Diu who had fallen asleep. When throwing hugs to the room, the little unicorn lying at their feet stood up abruptly, and followed them inside in a sleepy and dazed manner.

"Meow!" The little milk cat squatted in front of the mixed-race little unicorn, and stretched out its short legs to stop him. At this moment, the milk cat was 1.8 meters tall, and said with a serious face: "Diudiu likes you only temporarily, Diudiu can only raise one spirit beast and that is me, you'd better find a way to get your parents to pick it up as soon as possible, otherwise, hehe, I'm going to eat a pot of unicorn soup."

"Hmm~" the cute little unicorn tilted her head to look at the little milk cat.

"During the period of taking you in the inn, you can't enter Diu Diu's room, you can't get on Diu Diu's bed, and you can't let Diu Diu hug you. These are the three chapters of our agreement." The little milk cat withdrew its paw and patted it With his chin raised, he said, "Respect me as the boss and follow me as the younger brother."

"Huh?" The little Qilin was sleepy, yawned and looked at the little milk cat in doubt, what was he talking about?

"Well, this kind of attitude is not bad. It is your honor to be the younger brother of the White Tiger God Lord. If you go out and tell me my name, everyone will... ummmm..." The milk cat broke free from the little unicorn's mouth When I came out, my saliva-stained fur was wet, "...Damn it, your saliva stinks to death! Ahhh... I want to ask for [-] ways to eat unicorns. I'm waiting online. I'm very urgent."

"Haha——" Little Qilin stretched out his tongue, panting haha.

The little milk cat with hair drooping on its body has no love in life, "..."

The little unicorn was still moving forward, and the white tiger god turned around and ran away in fright. After a while, a fiery red figure passed by. Lord White Tiger.

...It is agreed that the younger brother will follow behind the boss.

Lord Baihu thought angrily, he shouldn't snatch his unknown grandson as a younger brother just to get angry with Xuanwu.

How does Kirin eat to be delicious?Lord Baihu grinds his teeth, he wants to know now.

Even the God of Cookery who steamed his son in the Temple of the God of Cookery really wanted to taste the taste of divine beasts and strange beasts. Facing the terrifying bravery of the divine beasts and alien beasts, he only dared to bury this thought deeply in his heart, so there was really no People write recipes about how to eat unicorns so that they taste good.

Lord Baihu was doomed to be disappointed, so he asked Qin Shen to fetch himself a basin of water. He jumped in and took a good bath. After jumping out of the water, his aura flowed, and the water vapor on his body evaporated in an instant. He went back to the bedroom tiredly and prepared to go. Sleeping, but saw that the "little dirty dog" didn't take the three chapters of the contract to heart, and his beard flew out of anger.

Jumping onto the bed, he stretched out his paw and gave the "little dirty dog" a gentle push, and the mixed-race unicorn rolled to the ground, rolling all the way to the closet, and stopped only when it was blocked by the closet.Limbs hooked, soft belly turned upside down, mouth wriggling, and continued to sleep unaffected.

The white tiger god stepped on his "territory" several times, and after making sure that there was no sign of the little unicorn, he calmed down, walked to Diudiu's side and lay down, squinted his eyes and fell asleep.

Fireworks have not been banned in Dongzhou City. After twelve o’clock, there are firecrackers coming from all directions. They lasted all night. On the morning of the first day of the new year, many people rushed to set off firecrackers early to pray for the new year. Got off to a loud, red-hot start.

Dongzhou City pays more attention to the New Year’s Eve dinner on the [-]th night and the New Year’s breakfast on the first morning of the new year during the Spring Festival here. The latter is even more important than the former. to the end" statement.

Do as the Romans do when you go to the countryside, and the Zhang family also follow the New Year's Eve breakfast.

The whole family got up early in the morning, and the chef got up even earlier, and the sweet smell in the pot was already wafting, which was the smell of red date tea.

Before eating New Year's breakfast, there is another custom to abide by, which is to eat cakes and tea.The cake is a homemade Hongyin cake, a long rectangular stick of glutinous rice cake made out of a mold, with auspicious patterns on the upward side of the cake, and the patterns are dyed by red yeast rice, so it is named Hongyin cake; tea is Jujube tea, the soup is bright red, and the red dates sinking at the bottom of the bowl are full of soup and swell up, like heavy gems.

According to the different habits of each family, some people eat cakes in the morning will be cakes, and pay attention to a reunion.

After the cakes and tea were finished, they took off and started eating New Year's breakfast.

Because of the saying of "connecting head to tail", the meals for the New Year's breakfast and New Year's Eve dinner are the same, with little change.

There are glutinous rice balls for breakfast every year, but dumplings are also prepared this year to cater for the taste of the north.

When the dumplings were being served, the two children also entered the kitchen to join in the fun, watching Qin Shen pour the dumplings into the water, watching the dumplings rolling with the boiling water.

"It has risen, the dumplings have risen." Finally waiting for his own use, Diu Diu raised his voice and yelled crisply.

Auspicious words, win the lottery, the dumplings and glutinous rice balls are floating, instead of "floating", use "rising".

After eating the New Year's breakfast, it is the children's favorite part. They are the youngest and can receive a lot of red envelopes.

……

There are many acquaintances in the town. After their own affairs are done, Qin Jing and Lin Gaofeng will take Xiaodiu, Lin Xiaoning, and Lan Yueer to the town to pay New Year's greetings, and there will be many neighbors The neighbors came to the woodware shop to pay New Year's greetings.

The Yuren don't celebrate the Lunar New Year, and the Yuren New Year falls in summer, so this Spring Festival, Lan Yueer spends this Spring Festival with everyone at the inn.

Like Qin Jing and the others, Hong Ye's family of three also went back, because on the first day of the new year, neighbors near the medical center and patients who had been favored by the medical center would also come to pay New Year's greetings.

With a group of people missing, the inn seemed much deserted. Qin Shen stretched himself, since he had nothing else to do, he wanted to go back and sleep late.

"Is Jin Chuan coming to celebrate the New Year?" Liu Niang's words stopped Qin Shen. He turned his head and saw Jin Chuan leading a group of pangolins to pay New Year's greetings. They also brought many New Year's gifts.

Jin Chuan and Houzi opened a fruit juice workshop and made some money. Because of the money, the life of the big guys has improved a lot. The life is better, and the spirit looks different.

"Hi boss, happy new year, Gong Xi Fa Cai."

Qin Shen likes to hear the congratulations of "Gong Xi Fa Cai" the most, and he smiles at Jinchuan and all the pangolins, saying, "Happy New Year everyone, Gong Xi Fa Cai, and good luck."

Qin Shen also prepared New Year gifts for Jin Chuan and his pangolins, some fruits and ant eggs he managed to get.

During the Baidang Mountain Fair, the pangolins gave him the termite eggs they thought were the best, and returned to the inn to overcome the psychological barrier. Qin Shen asked Qiu Baocheng to fry it and mix it in the salad and eat it. The taste could not be said to be good or not. , In short, a lot of protein is added.

Later, in order to repay the kindness of the pangolins, Qin Shen bought some ant eggs from the Internet. The ones from tree ants were said to taste good, but Qin Shen didn't want to try again.

After exchanging pleasantries with Jin Chuan for a while, Qin Shen didn't keep him when he learned that he was going to another place to pay New Year's greetings.

The arrival of Jin Chuan was like a start to the inn, and then Qin Shen welcomed Xiuzhu, the Monkey King, the red-haired squirrel one after another, and some monsters who didn't have much contact with the inn but had eaten his bowl of Laba porridge Come in groups, the excitement never stops.

After staying in the inn for a few days, Zhang’s family, who thought they already knew a little about the inn, were astonished to see the guests coming in and out. The human-shaped and eloquent beast-shaped ones made them feel unbelievable and at the same time opened their eyes. vision.

Chinese New Year is a constant New Year's greetings, gatherings, visits to relatives and friends. The busy and lively first day of junior high school passes, and the second day of junior high school arrives quietly.

"Your father, me, and your brother will go first, when will you come?" Qin Jing asked Qin Shen when they were leaving.

Qin Shen had the "access control" matter, but he didn't tell his mother and father that the threat of the Heavenly Dao Thunder Tribulation could not be resolved even by Qinglong Shenjun and the others. It would be better not to tell than to tell a few people who were worried.

"Mom, you go over first, I'll come later." Qin Shen always counts the time when he goes out, and today is no exception, he will not set off with his parents.

"That's fine, anyway, just have a meal and show your face in front of relatives."

"Uh-huh."

Today is the second day of the second day of the Lin family, which is the 20th anniversary of the death of the Lin family's grandfather. There will be a banquet in the old Lin family's house, and other things will be ignored. The marginalized Lin family's second bedroom school can not participate, but today this kind of person has to go.

Qin Shen watched his parents go away, turned around and went back to the inn, and saw Zhang Tenghai looking at him intently in the lobby, he looked down at the clothes he was wearing, there was nothing wrong, "Look what I am doing? "

"At noon, I want to go too."

"What's the point of going here? If I can't push it away, I don't want to go at all."

"Those are all your relatives..." Zhang Tenghai wanted to fight for himself.

"Put it down, what messed up relatives, they gossip more than anyone else when I'm lost."

Their family is not as rich as Uncle Lin's family, and they are not as good at franchising as Aunt Lin. The second bedroom of the Lin family, who lives in Hongye Town and runs a woodware shop, seems to be the most unpromising among relatives, and Qin Shen's surname is not Lin, his surname is Qin.When the whole family got together when he was young, he was often called a wild child by the children of his relatives. For this reason, he beat up the son of the uncle's family who took the lead.

Grandma Lin was biased and slapped him in public.

At that time, it happened that his parents were not around, and there was no one to protect him. Qin Shen, who was alone and weak, was almost beaten by his uncle and first aunt who were eager to protect his son.

Fortunately, my mother arrived, overturned the table, and slapped the eldest aunt who was about to slap him twice, and kicked the uncle flying. If Grandma Lin was not a mother-in-law and an elder, Qin Jing would not let her go.

Thinking of this group of unhappy relatives, Qin Shen didn't want to go, but people's words were terrifying. In the eyes of those relatives, even if he wasn't surnamed Lin or a child of the Lin family, he grew up eating rice noodles from the Lin family. It would be unfilial if Grandpa Lin didn't go on the 20th anniversary of his death.

Some people just have this kind of spare time, and they like to stretch their fingers and point to other people's homes because the chicken feathers in their own homes are not clean.

"I really don't want to go. Just blame me alone. They will say that my parents are incapable of teaching and will affect the children." Qin Shen shrugged helplessly, "This is the helplessness of a small place. The clan is connected with the clan. , If there is any disturbance, it will spread in the town for a few days."

"When you enjoy the tranquility of the small town, you have to bear the price accordingly." Zhang Yuanhuai, who sat on the side and listened to the whole process, had wise eyes. This is the experience accumulated over the years. It’s good to be able to get along. “The same rice feeds a variety of people”, people with the same surname do not necessarily have the same heart, and people who eat in the same pot do not necessarily have the same disposition. It is good to have more contact with good character, and to be friends with bad character. .”

"Yeah, that's what I think." Qin Shen nodded, "So you'd better not go, Lao Zhang, it's messy, lest you get angry when you see it."

Having said that, Zhang Tenghai still followed when he was leaving. He was wearing a suit and a coat. He didn't look like he was attending a village banquet, but more like he was invited to a high-end dinner party.

Qin Shen looked down at himself, how he came here to keep warm and comfortable, high-necked down jacket, fleece jeans, long-haired high-top boots, and a mink velvet hat in his hand, so as not to wait a while It was cold, and there was no shelter from the wind.

Diudiu Qin Shen didn't bring it with him, as I said before, if there are more relatives, there will be more bad things, so as not to affect the children.

"Okay, cleanliness man, don't regret it later." Qin Shen gave Zhang Tanghai a vaccination in advance to make him mentally prepared.

The car started and drove on the flat and peaceful road, getting closer and closer to Hongye Town.

The old house of the Lin family is also in the town, but it is on the edge of the town, an old house near the foot of the mountain.Hongye Town relies on three parallel streets for development planning, but there are always some people who find a different way and build houses near any street that does not belong to the three streets, such as the old house of the Lin family.

Here is Dongshan, which is very close to the crooked old tree where Qin Shen stuffed a note to find Liu Niang and the others to come back. You can see it standing in the courtyard of the old house and looking east.

The old house is an old house with a red tile roof and blue brick walls. The main room is in the middle, and the left and right sides are sleeping places. The separate small house on the left side of the house is the kitchen and toilet that were built later.In the past, the old stove was directly built in the main room, and the old design of this generation is the same. Later, when the money and population increased, it would be moved out.

When the old house was separated, it was given to the boss, Lin Dabo Lin Gaoshan, but after he became prosperous, his family moved to the city. If there is nothing to do in the old house, he will not come back all year round.

Uncle Lin thinks that the old house will prosper him and make him rich, so he will find someone to maintain it every year, so as not to be destroyed because there are no people to live in.

The size of the house is small, three tables are placed in the main room, and sheds, tables and chairs are set up for the other seven or eight tables in the yard.

"Huh~" The cauldron was lit, and a large piece of blanched meat was put into the pot. The village chef who contracted the banquet took a shovel and turned the meat in the pot. The meat was stained with burnt edges. The jingling potatoes in the big basket were poured into it.

There was visible grease in the crevices of the empty baskets.

There is not much space in the room, and cooking can only be done in the open air. There are three large pots lined up in a row that are non-stop, and various fish, vegetables, meat and eggs are placed on three or four long tables. The large plastic basins on the ground are filled with In addition to ingredients that need to be cooked or cleaned up urgently, the bowls and chopsticks are also placed directly in similar basins.There are six or seven middle-aged people of uncles and aunts busily shuttling among them. One aunt squatted on the ground to wash vegetables. When it was full, it overflowed and flowed all over the floor.

Auntie stood up shaking her red hands soaked in ice water, dragged the washed dishes and put them aside randomly, and put them in a basket with small gaps.

The small stream of water beside the basket was gurgling, and a few green and yellow leaves were floating.

The water is stained in pieces, and it will look muddy if you step on it too much. If a vegetable leaf is pasted on it, it will be even more unsightly. The vegetable leaf has been trampled repeatedly, and it has long been soft and rotten.

There was a lot of noise in the yard, the yelling of children and the chatting of adults could be carried far and far in the wind.

This is the most down-to-earth and happy voice of running wine in villages and towns. If you ignore the pictures that are not very clean, it is actually quite good and very real.

It is impossible to require everyone in the town to be civilized and polite, just like it is impossible to require everyone to be high-quality in a first-tier big city, so let's pretend that the things spit out of the mouth on the ground are not seen.

Zhang Tenghai: "..."

Qin Shen took pleasure in other's misfortune, and said with a suppressed smile, "It's still too late to go back now."

"It's all here." Enduring the resistance in his heart, Zhang Tenghai, who was covered in goosebumps, frowned and said, "I don't worry about you coming out alone."

Why did he want to show his face among Qin Shen's relatives, relatives whom Qin Shen didn't even care about, didn't need him to give him half a look.All he cared about was Qin Shen Tian Dao Lei Jie's affairs, he was always uneasy when he was not by his side.

Rather than fidgeting in the inn, it's better to follow closely, and remind Qin Shen to pay attention to the time at all times.

Qin Shen knew what was worrying in his heart, seeing his tangled expression of resisting and forcing himself to accept, it was both funny and distressed, took out his mobile phone and called up the alarm clock to show Zhang Tonghai, "Don't worry, I won't will forget."

It will ring once when you come out for an hour, and it will ring once when you come out for an hour and a half... After two hours, it will remind you every 5 minutes to ensure that you will not forget the most important time. When the "access control" time came, no matter how important things he had to do at that time, he had to stop and drive back to the inn.

You can't make fun of your own life, there are still very important people waiting for him to go home.

Zhang Tenghai glanced at the crowded alarm clocks and felt relieved, but... "You may not be able to hear the sound of the mobile phone, but it's safer for me to be by your side."

"That's fine, bear with it. It's not very dirty, it just looks untidy." Qin Shen stretched out his foot and kicked off a rotten leaf in front of them, "I'm familiar with the chef who cooks. The craftsmanship of the village banquet is very good, it looks extensive, but in fact there are details in the rough, and today's meal can still be expected a little bit."

"Well, I'll try to restrain myself to adapt."

Qin Shen touched his hand distressedly, "Let's sit down for a while, and we'll leave." Just show your face and express your attitude.

In the crowd, a tall and thin aunt saw Qin Shen and Zhang Tenghai walking side by side, her eyes were full of appreciation.

"Who are those two young men? They look strangely familiar. My dead girl is 28 and refuses to get married. Do you have any suitable young men to introduce to me?"

"I don't know the one in the overcoat, and you forgot about the one in the down jacket. That's Qin Shen, the son of the second son Gao Feng, the one adopted by Qin Jing." The fat aunt next to him followed the thin aunt and saw Seeing Qin Shen, he smacked his lips regretfully, "I don't know where I got the child when I was young, and I used to work outside, but now I don't know why I stay in the town, and I don't see any serious work. Such a nice face."

"He, the one who fought very hard when he was young?"

"You still remember that incident, the son of his uncle's family was beaten until his head was broken."

"Hmm, that's what I was talking about."

Amidst the whispers of the crowd, Qin Shen found his parents and brothers sitting in the corner, squeezed through the crowd, pulled a long bench and sat down in front of everyone's eyes.

"Mom, the position you found is really good."
