On the morning of the 8th, a thick layer of fog shrouded the sky.
Shitou led a group of people and walked straight to the palace.
"You are not allowed to go forward, all of you should move back." Two guards from the palace stopped Shitou and the others.
Shitou and the others talked and laughed and continued to move forward.
A guard shouted: If you move forward, I will shoot.
"Slow down." Shitou opened his hands and shouted:
A guard stepped forward and called out: This is the palace, what are you doing here?
Lin Fan said: What are you doing! you know······
"If you talk any more, I'll kill you with one shot." The guard pointed his gun at Lin Fan and said fiercely:
Shitou whispered: "Don't move, everyone!"
The guard walked to the stone and knelt down: "My dear master, please forgive me!" My pardon!
Shitou said: Brother, please get up!
"My Lord, please forgive me! My Lord, please forgive me!" When the guard behind heard this, he immediately ran over.
Shitou went to grab the two guards and called out: "Brothers, please get up!" What are you guilty of!
The two guards said together: The fog was too heavy today and the light was weak. I didn’t see the little master here. I beg you to forgive me! My pardon!
"As the saying goes, those who don't know are not to blame. We have so many people here today. It is reasonable for you to be vigilant." Shitou responded:
The guards kowtowed and said: Thank you for your understanding! Thank you for your understanding!
"Brother, please leave quickly! If you don't leave, they won't get up until it gets dark." Lin Fan pushed Shi Shi's arm and shouted:
Shitou asked: Village Chief Yu (Dongwan Village), Village Chief Zhang (Banqiao Village), except uncles, dads, and all brothers, please come! Everyone please!
"Shitou, you go ahead." Village Chief Yu called:
Shitou smiled and said: "Let's go together."
"Hello, little master!" The two servants stood in the garden and bowed:
Shi Shi said politely: Hello, aunties!
"Master, gentlemen, please come to the back room!" Ma Li and Ma Yu stood at the door of the living room and shouted:
Shitou walked towards the door and said: "Two aunts, we haven't seen each other for a few days. Are you in good health recently?"
"Thank you for your concern, little master! We are fine." Li Ma and Yu Ma said together:
Shitou walked up to them and called out: "Two aunts, I brought so many people here, you will be tired again."
Yu Ma responded: "What are you saying, little master!" Taking care of guests is our duty as servants...
"I said the wrong thing." Shitou covered his mouth with one hand.
"Little Master, sit down in our room." Mother Li shouted:
Stone faced everyone and said: "Everyone please!"
Shitou stepped into the living room and saw the servants setting the dishes and the tables.
He was about to speak...
"Brother, brother..." Yi'er kept running towards the stone.
Shitou turned his head and said with a smile: Yi'er, how have you been studying during this time?
Yi'er replied: Of course! I am always first in the class.
"Master, Brother Tang, everyone except eldest brother, sit down. I went in and changed some clothes, so I neglected everyone..." Officer Wang led a group of ladies downstairs.
Shitou took Yi'er's hand and replied: Officer Wang, there is no need to be polite! We just arrived.
Officer Wang shouted: Brother Tang, everyone except the eldest brother, no need to be formal, everyone sits down! Everyone, sit down!
Uncle Chu gathered in front of the sofa, looked up and said: Officer Wang, your home is so spacious and elegant, these furniture...
"Uncle Chu, you sit down." Shitou pulled Uncle Chu to sit down.
Uncle Chu was sitting on the sofa and called out: Officer Wang, this stool is as soft as a quilt.
"Dad, this is the sofa." Lin Fan said:
Officer Wang smiled and said: "You will become softer once you get used to it."
Everyone laughed together, hehehe...
"Brother Tang, besides eldest brother, let me introduce a few of them. These are my wives." Officer Wang introduced:
Uncle Zhu said: Officer Wang is so lucky to have six beautiful wives.
The ladies said politely: "Madam, I have seen you all."
Officer Wang said: To be precise, I have 7 wives, and Min'er's mother is my eldest wife.
She has left me.
"I'm sorry! Officer Wang, I shouldn't have mentioned it!" Uncle Zhu replied:
Shitou said: Officer Wang, let me introduce two people to you...
"Hurrah!"
Village Chief Yu and Village Chief Zhang walked over together.
Shitou introduced: This is Village Chief Yu of Dongwan Village, and this is Village Chief Zhang of Banqiao Village.
Village Chief Yu and Village Chief Zhang bowed and said: Hello, Officer Wang! Hello ladies!
Officer Wang stood up and said: Hello, two village chiefs!
Village Chief Yu said: Officer Wang worked hard to provide electricity to our village. I came here to thank Officer Wang! I didn’t bring any gifts...
"No need to bother! No need to bother!" Officer Wang said:
"Village Chief Zhang and I each brought some peanuts, hoping that Officer Wang would accept them. The gifts are not disrespectful. They represent the wishes of the villagers..." Village Chief Yu commented:
Officer Wang smiled and said: I accepted this gift. You can thank the villagers for me! Thanks!
"Mom Yu, why haven't we received the bread yet!" The third lady shouted:
Yu Ma replied: "The servant will urge you again."
The fourth lady said to the servants: "Go and get two boxes of milk tea."
"Also, bring over another box of foreign wine." Officer Wang continued:
"Dad, what's wrong with you?" Min'er asked, seeing Uncle Tang's hands trembling:
Uncle Tang responded: No, it's okay.
The stone touched Officer Wang's ear and said secretly: Officer Wang, my dad...
"All of you, go down and do whatever you have to do!" Officer Wang pointed at the servants and called:
When Uncle Tang saw all the servants walking out, he whispered: Officer Wang, I made you laugh.
Officer Wang said: Brother Tang, this is a fear of yours. If you attend such occasions more often, you will be fine.
"Officer Wang, you are right, but I don't like a series of formal occasions." Tang Bo continued:
"Master, the bread is here." Yu Ma stood at the door and shouted:
Officer Wang shouted: "Bring it in."
The servants put down their things and walked out.
The second lady, the third lady, and the fourth lady took cups and went to help everyone pour milk tea.
Xiaojing handed the cup and said: Madam, here it is.
The fourth lady smiled and said: "Girl, sit down and we will pour it."
Xiaojing responded: Madams!
Min'er stood up and called: "Aunts, please sit down and let me pour it."
Officer Wang called out: Second child, third child, fourth child, please sit down. Min'er rarely has to help, so you have to give her this opportunity.
"Dad." Min'er said:
Officer Wang replied: Did I say something wrong?
Min'er muttered: Dad, in front of everyone...
Officer Wang joked: Yo! You are shy! You often help with your hands, often help with your hands.
Uncle Chu smiled and said: Miss Min'er was born into a wealthy family. She can work seriously, which is already considered good.
"Thanks to Brother Tang and Sister-in-law Tang for your good teachings. I, the eldest lady, used to be a person who never touched the spring water." Officer Wang replied:
Uncle Tang replied: Officer Wang, thank you! How can we, as husband and wife, have any merit! It's all because of Min'er's diligence and studiousness.
"Brother Tang, don't say nice things for this girl! What's wrong with this girl! As her biological father - I know it all." Officer Wang said:
Min'er raised her face and said, "What do you know!" What do you understand!
"Min'er, be polite to your father." Uncle Tang advised:
Officer Wang then said: You girl have been back for two days and you haven't even said a word to me.
"Dad, please hold her!" Shitou placed Yi'er in front of Uncle Tang.
Tang Bo asked: Why?
"Both of you love reading, and you two will have endless topics to talk about." Shitou responded:
"Brother, I want you to hug me." Yi'er said coquettishly:
Shitou said seriously: Yi'er, be obedient! He is my dad, he loves reading very much!
Uncle Tang continued: Her name is Yi'er.
"Her name is: Yi'er, she is the daughter of my fourth wife." Officer Wang responded:
Uncle Tang touched Yi'er's head and called out: Yi'er, I heard that your study is very good.
But you can't be proud.
Yi'er hugged the stone's feet and replied: I have never been proud.
The fourth lady called out: Yi'er, come here, don't interfere with the little master's eating.
Yi'er replied: I want to be here with my brother.
Shitou said: Don't worry, Fourth Madam, Yi'er can't hinder me in anything!
"Brother Tang, except for the eldest brother, these are all my daughters." Officer Wang looked at Hua'er and the others and said:
Hua'er and the others bowed and said: Hello, uncle and aunt!
Uncle Tang smiled and said: Hello!
Uncle Chu smiled and said: Officer Wang, your home is so lively!
"It's lively, but it's too noisy." Officer Wang responded:
Except the uncle replied: Children are all like this.
"Officer Wang, don't you have a son?" Uncle Tang called:
Officer Wang replied: He is still young, so I asked the servant to keep him in the room.
Min'er called out: Everyone, have a drink!
Officer Wang shouted: Have a drink, have a drink.
Uncle Chu responded: Officer Wang, I was very drunk at my house two days ago. I'm afraid I was drunk...
"Except for brother, if you want to get drunk in my house, I won't let you get drunk." Officer Wang interrupted:
Uncle Chu smiled and said: Then drink!
"To thank Officer Wang! Let's all toast to Officer Wang." Village Chief Yu shouted:
Min'er quickly went to pour wine for everyone.
Shitou raised his glass and shouted: Village Chief Yu, Village Chief Zhang, let’s toast Officer Wang.
Officer Wang stood up and said with a smile: I must drink the wine proposed by the young master.
Officer Wang raised his head and drank it in one gulp.
He poured the empty wine glass and shouted: Everyone, please! Everyone please!
Everyone raised their glasses and said in unison: Officer Wang, please!
Officer Wang saw everyone drinking and laughed and said: This is great! good!
"Officer Wang, how do you calculate the electricity bill?" Uncle Chu put down the bowl and asked:
Officer Wang responded: It is calculated based on the kilowatt-hour of electricity. 1 penny is about 4 kilowatt-hours of electricity. What are the specifics? I will send someone over to negotiate with you.
However, the electricity bill cannot be reduced.
"Officer Wang, please relax, the electricity bill will definitely not be in arrears. If someone in the village defaults on the electricity bill, our village will also find a way to advance payment..." Village Chief Zhang replied:
Village Chief Yu continued: We will not connect the electricity to those households who cannot afford the electricity bill.
"That's great! Let's have another drink." Officer Wang said:
Shitou called out: "Uncle, you drink!"
Uncle Chu replied: I'm afraid of getting drunk.
"Brother, you have a good drinking capacity. After you drink this glass, I promise not to let you drink again." Officer Wang shouted:
Uncle Chu was stunned and said: This!
"Officer Wang, I'll drink with you." Lin Fan stood up and shouted:
Officer Wang said: Brother Lin, do you want to stand up for your father-in-law? If you want to get ahead! I'll drink 5 more cups with you.
"Officer Wang, Officer Wang, can I drink?" Uncle Chu picked up the wine glass and drank sip after sip.
"Except for brother, you drink like a woman, sipping it in one sip. Be more cheerful and swallow it in one sip." Officer Wang yelled:
Shitou advised: Officer Wang, don't persuade uncle to drink so fast! It's easy to choke if you drink it too quickly.
"Little Master, keep your heart in your stomach and nothing will happen. I often drink like this." Officer Wang responded:
Village Chief Zhang said: "Brother, you swallow it in one gulp. If you choke or get drunk, I will carry you back."
"Village Chief Zhang is just joking! I'm drunk, and my son-in-law is here, how could I let you carry it!" Uncle Chu raised his head and swallowed it in one gulp.
Officer Wang smiled and said: That’s right!
Uncle Zhu put down his wine glass and said: Officer Wang, I'd better go home. If I stay here, you will get drunk sooner or later.
"It doesn't matter if you're drunk. In the worst case, I'll send someone to take you home." Officer Wang continued:
Xu Banxian winked at Stone and called: Brother...
"Officer Wang, it's time for us to leave. Brother Xu has moved to a new home and there are still some things that need to be purchased..." Shitou said:
Officer Wang replied: Don’t be in a hurry when buying things!
"Officer Wang, I have to go home tomorrow morning. There are some things that need to be arranged in the noodle shop..." Fu Xing shouted:
Lin Fan interrupted: Second brother, you have to leave tomorrow.
"I've been out for so long, it's time for me to go back and take a look." Fuxing replied:
Officer Wang shouted: Brother Fu is leaving, let's have a drink together as a farewell drink.
Fuxing poured himself a glass of wine and said: Officer Wang's wishes, I accept it and I drink it.
Officer Wang raised his glass and shouted: I wish you a safe journey, brother!
Fuxing put down the cup and said: Thank you! Thanks!
"Everyone, please stop drinking! Eat, eat." The fourth lady shouted:
Uncle Chu responded: Madam, you're welcome! We are full.
Shitou called out: Yi'er, go over to your mother's place! Brother, I will come to play with you next time.
Yi'er ran to the fourth lady and said: Goodbye, brother!
"Goodbye, brother!" Hua'er and the others said together:
Shitou smiled and said: Goodbye, sisters!
"Master, please stay a little longer!" Officer Wang shouted:
Shitou said: We are all acquaintances, next time, next time.
Everyone said unevenly: Goodbye, Officer Wang!
Officer Wang replied: Brother Tang, except for the eldest brother, Village Chief Zhang, and Village Chief Yu, everyone is welcome to come again!
Shitou walked forward and called out: Goodbye ladies!
The ladies waved their hands and said: Little Master, go slowly! Everyone, walk slowly!
Officer Wang followed everyone to the garden.
Shitou shouted: Officer Wang, please stay, we will go on our own...
"Dad, please pay more attention to Qi Yiniang. Qi Yiniang's body is relatively weak!" Min'er interrupted:
Officer Wang smiled and said: Lao Qi is very lucky to have you thinking about her all the time.
Shitou glanced at the door and said: Officer Wang, "those two doormen," don't embarrass them.
Officer Wang then said: Why should I embarrass them?
Shitou moved his feet and said with a smile: Let's go...
