Chapter 66

Braised pork, sweet and sour pork ribs, stir-fried tenderloin, braised large intestine, stir-fried pig heart and other hot dishes are coming. This whole pig feast with rural characteristics in northern Jiangsu is full of local flavor.

Brothers sipped in wine and meat. Fang Bai felt that the craftsmanship was not worse than that of the old Zhu family, especially the dishes were even more diverse. There were old aluminum leather lunch boxes of Triangle brand, and large enamel basins of a certain production team printed on them. Finally, the hot radish belly and lung soup was served in a small plastic basin.

As soon as the soup came up, Da Su, who had already drunk half a pound of wine, couldn't wait to serve a bowl and drank it quickly.

Damn, this wine seems to come up very quickly, and fortunately, this soup is much better.

Lin Xue also quickly served the soup and drank it. He had drunk a lot of Mei Lanchun wine in the Demon City.

Dasu, this wine is very energetic, and the consumption level of the Magic City is high. Mei Lanchun wine can be considered a poor student to drink, but it is not very good with the students I drink now, so I have never drunk too much. Dasu, you have to take it easy.

Dasu took another bowl of soup, and he sweated a lot at once, and he felt much better immediately. However, he was a little hesitant when he saw that he had half a bottle of white wine left.

Or, why don’t I take beer with you?

Fang Bai picked up Dasu's bottle and poured it into him a cup, then twisted the cap on the bottle and said: Just this one, drink it slowly.Don’t drink beer. You can’t skewers this Meilanchun wine. Just stop the dishes after one skewer. Eat more dishes, come on!Give a pig's hoof.

At this moment, my brothers and others had almost finished their wine. The boss of the boat had already driven the boat to a big pier and stopped. Zhigang led the three to the lake and fish market on the pier to take a look.

It was the time when fish, shrimp, crab and clams were really fat, tender and yellow in autumn, and they were still fresh goods that had just been caught.

Soon, Zhigang and the boat boss picked up a lot of good goods, including lake crabs with more than four or two, silverfish with one finger, fresh crucian carp with chopsticks, grass shrimps, eels and breams, and several plastic bags of net bags.

When I got on the boat, I didn't rush to drive the boat. The boss and his wife started to clean up the lake.

These people walked around and woke up. Fang Bai bought a pair of big iron scissors and went back to cut all the chickens and ducks for his mother. The scissors were very powerful and easy to use.

Da Su has never visited such a market, and he feels everything is fresh when he sees it. Lin Xue or students don’t buy it randomly.

The market was only half an hour long, and Fang Bai bought a few kilograms of kale green. This thing can be eaten raw. A few people grabbed a few with one hand and peeled them all the way. The kale green was crisp and refreshing and sweet when it tasted sweet, as refreshing as fruits. Da Su walked back and bought a few kilograms to take back to the imperial capital.

I said that the customs and customs here are really different from ours. I knew that many things had never been seen before. After seeing them, I found that they were completely different from what I thought before. And they all seemed ordinary but were very stunning when they were eaten.

This is how the land and water nourish the people. Of course, everything is fresh when you grow up with soy sauce.

Pooh!I haven't drunk soy sauce and grew up. That thing is the favorite of the old imperial capital. In fact, fewer and fewer people drink it. Look at how many stores there are in the Emperor selling this.

It's true or false, I also want to go to the imperial capital to drink bean juice.

I tell you, many of you southerners must have understood soy milk as soy milk. In fact, these are two different things.However, the guys who come to the Tan family in the imperial capital can't afford it, so it's definitely okay to pick up a roast duck.

As he said that, a few people started playing poker again. The noon alcohol had passed. Although there was beer in the evening, Dasu decided to drink Mei Lanchun and not dare to make a drink.

The kitchen in the back put the tidy lake food into the pot and the upper trough. The boss of the boat started to move the boat again and looked at the scenery of the farmland, fish ponds and vegetable beds along the Grand Canal, and the sky gradually became dark.

When the last card is finished, the dishes will come.

The dishes at night are much more hearty than at noon, including white tofu, red tofu, fried pork head meat with garlic, steamed bream, steamed lake crab, long fish roasted pork, silver fish steamed eggs, white scallion shrimp...

The wife of the boat boss is fully demonstrated.

Fang Bai felt that this aunt's cooking skills were much better than Lin Yeqiu and her mother Bai Shuangyan. As expected, there was no right to speak without comparison. The aunt finally brought out four boiled lion heads.

Da Su thought that although he had never eaten such a big meatball, the color was so white that it was very unsatisfactory. However, when he bit it, he found that it felt a bit like swallowing his tongue. Each of his brothers and men didn't raise their heads.

Soon the four of them went down three kilograms of Meilanchun liquor. The temperature on the canal in the autumn was a little cooler, which did not delay the young men all stripped naked.

At this time, the boss of the ship had already driven the boat to the place where he was on board and came over to toast a small bowl. The verdant wine here was quite popular, and the boss of the ship was also a good wine person. He came over to toast repeatedly in Mandarin with an accent, and unknowingly he went down two kilograms of white wine.

As usual, the aunt finally served a large pot of crucian carp soup. She didn't put anything on, so she put some Houttuynia cordata to remove fishy food. The fresh fish soup was so fresh that it was the best to relieve wine. Fang Bai felt comfortable after taking a sip of the soup, and the umami taste seemed to dispel the alcoholic spirit.

But after he woke up, he suddenly remembered the question Da Su asked at noon, and quickly asked Zhigang: By the way, where are we staying tonight?I had drunk and couldn't drive the car, and there was no hotel here. Is it really aboard a boat?

Zhigang put down the bowl and said: It has been arranged long ago. The boat is OK during the day, but at night there are mosquitoes that cannot live in at all.

Then how did you arrange it?

Stay in the guesthouse in our city, and eat fish soup and knife noodles tomorrow morning before leaving.

Then how can I get over?

The two guys from the boat boss came over to drive later and took us over.Brother, don’t worry, it must be well arranged.I walked out to set off fireworks, and I brought a box on the boat.

I saw Zhigang pull out a large cardboard box from the cabin like a magic trick, carry it out of the cabin with Lin Xue, and then lit a cigarette by one. The four good brothers placed the fireworks in the noisy, and the lake and the night sky were rendered colorful with the sound of gunpowder explosions...

The next morning, the few people had slept. Last night, the four of them opened two standard rooms. They wanted to chat together first, but after taking a shower, they were all drunk and unconscious.

Zhigang and Da Su were in the same room, but Da Su was first woken up by the ringtones of mobile phones. He barely opened his eyes and found that it was Zhigang's cell phone.

I didn't want to pay attention to it, but who knew that the phone kept ringing, so I had to get up and push Zhigang to wake him up.

Zhigang was so confused that he just glanced at his phone and immediately became energetic. After picking up, he kept saying "Oh, okay, sorry, I'm sorry, so he got up to put on his clothes. Looking at Da Su who was still preparing to continue sleeping and said: Don't stand there, go to the next door and scream the two pigs. It's almost twelve o'clock!

Da Su hurriedly woke Fang Bai and Lin Xue. When he came back, he was already wearing five or six people, and he couldn't help but be shocked.

Hey!Why did you bring a suit to change it?

You told them to meet downstairs!

After saying that, Zhigang ran out without looking back.

When Fang Bai and others went downstairs, they saw a girl with long braids staring at Zhigang with a blushing face. Zhigang's face was very normal, but his ears were quite red.

Seeing that they came down, he hurriedly pulled the girl to introduce her: Come on, let me introduce it, this is Comrade Qiao Chunlan, my fiancée of Li Zhigang.

The girl was still furious just now, but now she immediately became extremely shy and lowered her head to fiddle with the tip of her braid.

After a closer look, Chunlan is indeed a pretty and beautiful girl from a water town as Comrade said. Fang Bai is fine. Da Su and Lin Xue's eyes were like seeing Yu Shuang yesterday. Fang Bai hurriedly said: This is my brother and sister. I have been admired for a long time. My brother is so naughty. In the future, I will ask my brother and sister to take care of him more. If he bullies you, I will tell me that I will teach him a lesson.

After hearing Fang Bai's words, the girl started to have a singular music, and then said in Mandarin with accent but nice sound: You are Fang Bai, it is indeed their boss, and her tone is like that of Zhigang.Brother Fang made you laugh today. In fact, he asked me to go to the noodle shop early in the morning to book a private room where I could see the canal. As a result, when the morning tea was closed, no one came yet.He didn't answer the phone when I called, so he had to come to find you.

Zhigang hid behind and rubbed his ears secretly for a long time. When the atmosphere eased, he showed his head and said: Let's go, hurry up.Otherwise, I won't be able to eat it.

The girl slapped her. At this time, Fang Bai and the others realized that the little girl was actually very fierce. Zhigang was like a cat in front of her.

At this time, Miss Chunlan changed her dialect, but Fang Bai still understood.

What else to go!It's all closed. The table is filled with dry noodles I brought with me. Let your classmates eat it here. I also bought the red paste crab you want to give to someone. In the trunk in the car, you can go with me to get it.

Then he pulled Zhigang's arm out.

After Fang Bai and the others had eaten the delicious fish soup and knife noodles, they embarked on the return journey. Zhigang insisted on sending Fang Bai and the others to the entrance of the expressway, so he asked Chunlan to drive her small pl in front and sit in Fang Bai's car.

It’s time to part ways again, and after this time I really don’t know when I will get together again.

Okay, I have entered society, and I will not be the ones who have sex, which will affect my driving mood.

Hearing Fang Bai deliberately swearing, Da Su suddenly remembered something and grabbed Zhigang and said: I said, "Brother, you guy didn't seem to tell the truth."Although Chunlan's younger brother and sister are indeed very beautiful, they seem to be obedient.

Lin Xue also said: Yes, I think you are the one who takes the initiative. You must be full of the idea of ​​cooking rice with raw rice.

Zhigang broke free from Dasu's bear hug and took a breath and said: To be honest, she was chasing me at first, but later after my buddy cooked the rice, the situation changed.

Damn it!!!

The three of them shouted at the same time. Fang Bai waved his hand and punched Zhigang and said: You kid is really fast. If you want me to tell me, I guess our brothers will be getting together soon. I will be there next year. I guess I will come again before the Spring Festival.

Hahaha, my brother guessed it well. Now I just stick to Chunlan every day. Anyway, she is already mine.My parents mean that as long as Chunlan’s stomach is moving, she will do things immediately.

I said, "Don't you still want to have sex with me?"It seems that this matter has been completely ruined. By the way, it’s time to go here, otherwise I have to go back to Jingzhou with me.

It’s time to get off the bus. Take care of yourself, brothers, remember to eat the crab when you go back, don’t let it die, and don’t eat it overnight.

Zhigang changed into a smile as soon as he got off the car and rushed into Chunlan's car in front.

Oh shit!

The three of them cursed at the same time. Fang Bai thought about it and it was really uncomfortable to part with reluctance. Everyone scolded Zhigang and emphasized sex over friends, which also diluted a lot of the discomfort of parting.

However, I did talk a lot along the way, unlike when I came, I kept arguing with each other and complaining about the lively momentum. Fang Bai turned on the speaker and played the song. But when I heard the song, I heard sadness in my ears, and Da Su suddenly couldn't hold it in.

Damn, I thought this time I wouldn't be like when I took the train last time, my eyes turned red when I moved, but I didn't expect it to be the same.

I've seen it a long time ago, but I can't talk about you, just because I'm afraid it will affect my elder brother's driving.

Fang Bai looked at the two of them through the rearview mirror, and the words turned to his lips.

Have you bought all the train tickets?

I have bought it all, so time should be enough.

Can dinner be eaten in Jingzhou?

Then I will definitely not be able to eat it. Then I will deal with it on the train. Anyway, the oil and water have been too much these two days, so it is good to clear the stomach and intestines.

Fang Bai speeded up, for fear that they would delay the train, but he felt that driving too fast would speed up the time to separate from them.

It seems that like Da Su, I still can't stand the sadness of separation.

Before we knew it, we had already reached the boundary of Jingzhou. Not far ahead is the toll station. After passing the toll station, we will be the development zone outside Jingzhou.

When the three of them saw the iconic large bell tower in Jingzhou Railway Station Square from afar, it was finally time to part.

Fang Bai parked the car and helped them carry crab mooncakes and salted duck.

The train from Dasu to the imperial capital arrived at the station first, and within twenty minutes, he heard the notice of the radio ticket check.

The three of them hurriedly entered the station, and Fang Bai was stopped outside without a platform ticket.

He suddenly became anxious, but he couldn't enter without a ticket at the door. He was looking inside outside. Fortunately, after Lin Xue finished sending him off, Da Su came out to find him again.

Brother, I have one hour left to chat for a while.

That's pretty good, come out and smoke.

The two found a trash can and lit the cigarette next to them. Fang Bai knew what Lin Xue wanted to say. After three days of gathering, they all knew very well and did not mention Chen Qian.

Those two really don’t know the situation, and if you want to say that, Lin Xue still has a chance to understand something.

Let me tell you, I've seen that you are holding your mouth full of words.

Brother, I didn’t hold back all my words. I couldn’t see Chen Qian either.Who asked me to go back and get you a diploma? This happened.

Lin Xue, I found that you have changed and become harsh now. Has it been influenced by the locals when you go to school in the Magic City?

Brother, you have changed too, and you have been hiding it all the time. You obviously want to ask this when you drag me over, but you have to let me tell you.

OK, brother, I was wrong. Tell me what you said when you saw her?

Do you really want to say it?

Hold!You guys are still excited.

If you have it, don’t do it, I say I say it.

Lin Xue, you kid has really changed a lot now. I wonder where you learned so much, are you talking about a partner?

Brother, where can I go to have a date?I found that I was particularly unlucky. The girl from my hometown, no matter how good or bad the bride price is amazing. The girl from the Magic City, forget it, I don’t dare to think too much anyway, anyway, I am a foreigner.

You can't find a girl from another place, forget it and not talk about this.Chen Qian...

Fang Bai found that he hadn't said this name from his mouth for a long time. Even if someone mentioned her, he never said her name again.

Seeing Fang Bai's aphasia look, Lin Xue didn't dare to talk nonsense anymore.

My boss is actually my current roommate, both of them are from Tianjin. These two people speak like I listen to live crosstalk every day, so over time, I am taken poverty by them.And I found that my personality has changed a little now, so be fine... let's talk about serious things.

If you don’t talk about serious matters, you can celebrate the Mid-Autumn Festival in Jingzhou.

That's like this. I went to Lao Gu to get my graduation certificate. Now Lao Gu has been promoted to Ah, a lecturer.I told Lao Gu before that we were going to gather on National Day, but he simply didn't inform you and asked me to bring it here directly.Then I went to school and met Chen Qian when I got the certificate. As soon as she saw me, she asked you about your situation.

What did you say?

I actually didn't know much about your situation before coming.What can I say?

Isn’t that a question for nothing?

She talked about her own affairs.

She has a boyfriend...

She didn't say this, and I didn't ask, but she was no longer in her hometown, but went to work in another place.

What?!Isn't her job pretty good?Besides, I didn’t have much time to resign, so why did I quit?

This seems to be not a resignation, but maybe the company was dispatched to another place. I don’t know where it is.She also said why you were hiding from her? She didn't answer after calling her phone. Only then did I know that you didn't tell her if you changed the number.

My phone and the card are all closed. I blame me for this.But she never replied to my message.

Brother, what information do you mean?

QQ, I left her a message, but I never replied to me.I don't believe she has never been on QQ.

I don’t know this. Boss, why can’t you remember her mobile phone number?

I remember her previous mobile phone number, but later she changed her number when she worked, and I just saved it and didn't remember it.What else did you say later?

It's gone.

None?

Brother, I know her because of you. I didn’t know her very well, and I didn’t say that much to me.And don’t you have a goddess-like girlfriend now?

I just asked, but in fact, when I broke up, I didn’t say a lot clearly. I just wanted to find an opportunity to meet or even make a phone call... Forget it, it would be fine if I didn’t say it.It's almost time, it's time for you to enter the station.

Well, it's time to leave.

Fang Bai sent Lin Xue into the station and stood outside watching Lin Xue walk inside. Lin Xue suddenly turned around and came back and said to him: Brother, I actually told her your new mobile phone number.

What!You... why didn't you just say it?

I forgot just now, but it was actually not what I told me. She read the new classmate record and I pointed it to her. The mobile phone number on it was filled in by me, which is your new number. Take care of it, and there will be a time later!

Take care of your brothers!Study hard!

Fang Bai watched Lin Xue disappear without a trace.

When he returned to the car, Fang Bai found that he had suddenly become a person again. He seemed to be laughing and scolding with a few people in his former dormitory, and suddenly became deserted.

Fang Bai, who felt that his mood was getting worse, kicked the car quickly with the accelerator.

When he got home, Fang Bai had not adjusted his body. He went upstairs to take out the keys and had not opened the door. He remembered that there were piles of things in the trunk without taking them. He went downstairs again. The two rounds of stairs seemed to exhaust his energy and put them in casually as soon as he entered the door. He ran to the bed and wanted to lie down for a while.

Thinking that he was sweating all over his body and didn't want to get his mother's bed dirty, Bai Shuangyan opened the door and came in when she went to take a shower first.

Seeing his mother Fang Bai finally felt much better. In fact, his bad mood was that he had too many memories of the gathering of these three days. When he parted, he realized that all these were memories.

The university's teaching building, the mottled back door of the campus, Chen Qian in the small garden...

Fang Bai, are these given by your classmates?So many crabs!

Finally, she was pulled back by her mother. Fang Bai went over and took a look and said that she was still alive.

This is the red paste crab, and the large iron scissors and water chestnuts I bought for you, which are all specialties there.

Oh~ My son can buy things now, let me see.

Bai Shuangyan picked up a water chestnut and ate it raw, and raised her thumbs to Fang Bai.

I will deal with it casually at home today and go to your uncle's house tomorrow, and I will bring them a few crabs.

Fang Bai gestured the big iron scissors a few times, and said to his mother for credit: How about it?This must work, right?

I have put away everything at home. Now I buy chickens and ducks in the vegetable market and they take off their hair and open it. It’s really a waste of money.Let’s talk about Guazhou’s scissors, Hai’an’s shovels, Rugao’s rakes, Zhenjiang’s knife, you…hehehe, I won’t talk about it anymore.

Bai Shuangyan smiled and saw Fang Bai put down the scissors with a little discouraged look.

Son, are you tired?It’s a big deal to drive. Let’s get off early today and you can sleep in my bed.

Then are you sleeping underground?It was cold this day and it was impossible to put on the floor.

Let’s see when the time comes, if it really doesn’t work, just one person and one head.

Bai Shuangyan prepared the rice and asked Fang Bai to eat it. Fang Bai was very oily these two days, but today he ate a bowl of dry noodles at noon, and he was hungry at this time.

Bai Shuangyan laid shredded pork noodles for him, beat a poached egg, and let Fang Bai eat it after taking a shower.

Mom, it seems that every time I go out for a few days, you will give me some notes. We are not in the north, is it to welcome me?

It was a coincidence today, and I did have such an idea before.What's wrong?Isn't it good to welcome you?Do you want some alcohol?

Forget it, I have drunk enough wine these two days, and I will go to bed after eating it.

Let you pay attention, but there is no way to reunite with classmates.It is also a rare time. You will come to your uncle's house tomorrow and have some drinks with your uncle.

By the way, mom, you can’t bring Moutai, but you can take those two bottles of wine with your uncle or just give it to him.

You will get it back anyway.Go to bed early. I still have to go to work tomorrow. You will go before noon and I will keep everything you should bring at the door.

I will leave with you tomorrow, take you to work, pick you up at night, and I will sleep at home during the day.

That's fine. If you want to rest, just don't send me to the morning and don't ask you. I'll take the bus to it myself.

Fang Bai fell asleep after going to bed, and slept until the next day, and Bai Shuangyan did not call him.

Fang Bai picked up his phone and took a look. Only Yu Shuang sent him a text message of Mid-Autumn Festival blessing.

It seems that Yu Lu is really angry with him, and Fang Bai doesn't know what Yu Lu is angry with him.

I sent a message and Yu Lu replied after a long time. Why?.

Seeing that he was at least paying attention to him, Fang Bai didn't care about that much and quickly called him, waiting for Yu Lu to answer the call.

What's the matter?

That's angry?

No!

Lulu, I was wrong.

What's wrong?

I shouldn't have drunk that much wine.

It seems you don't know what's wrong.

Then what am I wrong?I didn't do anything either.

Where did you celebrate Mid-Autumn Festival?

I'll go to my uncle's house later. Are you free to come out in the evening?

Not available!When do you think about where to go wrong, call me.

Yu Lu hung up the phone and Fang Bai was still confused.

After lying down, he found that although he had not eaten breakfast, he had no appetite at all.

I carefully recalled that day when I met Yu Lu, I didn’t say or do anything inappropriate.

After thinking for a long time, Fang Bai didn't understand it. It seemed that he was still a little afraid of the cold. To be honest, Fang Bai hasn't been sick for a long time. Maybe he was tired these days, or maybe he was drinking too much wine on the boat, and he and Zhigang and the others took off their arms and got cold.

He quickly got up and found Bai Jiahei and poured a cup of hot water and ate it. Finally, he felt a little energetic.

He was strong and felt that he could hold on. He didn't have the energy to eat. He went downstairs to find a wonton stall and asked for a large bowl of spicy oil wontons to eat. After sweating all over his body, he felt much better. He looked at the time and went upstairs to take the things and drove to pick up his mother from get off work.

After successfully receiving his mother, he went straight to Bai Huiwen's house. When he entered the door, he found that his uncle was not at home, only Bai Huiwen and aunt were busy.

Seeing Fang Bai and his son coming, the aunt said enthusiastically: Sister is here, Shuangyin has to wait and come back later. Bai Huiwen will pour water for your aunt.

Fang Bai entered the house with a big bag and was picked up by Bai Huiwen with a smile.

You're welcome, why don't you just have a holiday? I'm really going to see you with so many things, your classmates are going back.

We all went back, so of course we had to bring things to the festival.

Bai Huiwen enthusiastically took the things aside and asked Fang Bai and his son to sit down. The door opened when they poured tea for them. A handsome middle-aged man in a straight suit came in outside. It was Fang Bai's biological uncle Bai Shuangyin.
