"Lin Bao, come in quickly."
Tang Jiancheng opened the door.
Standing outside the house was Tang Linbao and two other young people.
Seeing Tang Jiancheng, the two young men quickly greeted him, "Grandpa Jiancheng, happy New Year."
Tang Jiancheng smiled and said: "There are trees and forests. Happy New Year to you all. Come in and warm yourself by the fire."
Invite the three people into the house.
The eldest sister, the second sister and the third sister served hot tea to the three of them.
All three praised the child for being sensible.
Tang Linbao took a sip of tea and said: "Grandpa Jiancheng, you have been playing cards at my house for a long time at this time in previous years. Why haven't I seen you here this year? Have you really changed your mind and stopped playing cards?"
Tang Jiancheng smiled and said: "It's not that I don't play cards anymore, it's just that I'm not interested in that stuff anymore. Now I just want to spend time with my wife and children at home. Look at my children, they have grown so big without knowing it. It only took me a month or two to realize how cute they are."
"Eh~"
Tang Linbao looked like he was trembling all over, "Grandpa Jiancheng, you are talking too stupidly now. Okay, if you don't want to play cards, then don't play. In fact, playing cards is really boring. You won't win much money, and you won't be able to win even if you lose." Feeling bad!"
"There are trees and forests, don't you think so?"
"Yes, yes, playing cards is the most boring thing."
Tang Youshu and Tang Youlin are brothers, the same generation as Tang Linbao, so the three of them often play together.
"Jianjian, are you at home?"
At this moment, Tang Xingde's voice sounded again outside.
"Why is he here?"
Tang Linbao raised his eyebrows.
"I don't know, maybe there's something wrong."
Tang Jiancheng shook his head, walked to the main room and opened the door, and saw Tang Xingde standing outside with a cane and a bottle of wine in his hand, "Brother Xingde, what are you..."
"Jian Jiancheng, I don't mean anything else. I know you also like to have a drink, so I brought some wine over." Tang Xingde said sarcastically, "Don't get me wrong, this is not bought, it is brewed by one of my brothers. Give it to me as a gift." It’s such a big bucket, so I brought ten kilograms to you, I hope you don’t dislike it.”
"Brother Xingde, what are you talking about? You are a drunkard, how can you dislike it?"
Tang Jiancheng thought for a while, took the wine, and invited him warmly, "Quick, brother Xingde, come into the house and say, it's too cold outside."
"If it's completed, I won't go in. It's dark, and there are five boys at home. I'm a little worried. I'll come and talk to you tomorrow."
Tang Xingde was very happy when he saw Tang Jiancheng taking the wine. After declining, he turned around and left.
Tang Jiancheng was holding the wine and looking at Tang Xingde's back, feeling very complicated.
He knew what Tang Xingde meant. In addition to wanting to reconcile with him, he definitely also hoped that he could make money with him.
"Why!"
Tang Jiancheng sighed, turned around and walked into the kitchen with the wine in hand.
"Yo? This is from Xingde? What does he mean?" Tang Linbao took the wine and smelled it, "It's not bad. It's wine from Lao Duan's family in Ximei Village. It costs 20 cents a pound! These ten pounds It’s just two yuan, is he spending a lot of money?”
In Ximei Village, Lao Duan's wine is the best in the surrounding area.
Normally, Tang Jiancheng would go to his house to buy wine, but he usually bought wine that cost eight cents or 12 cents. He rarely bought wine that cost 20 cents.
It's not that I can't afford it, but it's not necessary.
Unless he was entertaining some distinguished guests, he would only buy wine worth twenty cents.
"Obviously, Xingde wants to reconcile with Grandpa Jiancheng!" Tang Youshu said, "To be honest, he has a bad temper, loves petty gains, and doesn't have many friends in the village!"
"His biggest problem is his brain."
Tang Youlin curled his lips and said, "If my family had a gun, and after seeing Grandpa Jiancheng's hunting skills, I would definitely not be like him and have a conflict with Grandpa Jiancheng. I would definitely treat Grandpa Jiancheng as my own grandfather. You say go east , I will never go west, you say chasing a dog, I will never chase a chicken!"
Xiao Qi suddenly said: "Brother Lin, you are just sneaking around, it's not good!"
ah?
Everyone was stunned for a moment, then realized what was happening and couldn't help laughing.
Tang Linbao smiled and said: "Yes, Xiao Qi is right, he is just sneaking around and it's not good! He has to change!"
Tang Youlin nodded repeatedly: "Yes, yes, my seventh aunt is right, I shouldn't chase dogs and chickens, I want to chase pigs and cows!"
"Giggle, chase the pig and chase the cow, Brother Lin, you are so funny!"
Xiaoqi laughed.
Xiaoliu and Xiaoba also giggled.
Fifth sister whispered: "You shouldn't call him brother. We are older than him. We should call him nephew."
"Huh? My nephew? Such a big one? I don't want it."
As soon as Xiao Qi said this, the whole audience burst into laughter again.
"What is it that makes you so happy?"
At this moment, the door of the room was pushed open, and two brothers, Tang Jianwen and Tang Jianbo, walked in with a smile.
"Uncle, third uncle."
The eldest sister and others quickly called for help and poured hot tea for them.
"Master Jianwen, Master Jianbo."
Tang Linbao, Tang Youshu and Tang Youlin also called people quickly, but they missed one word "Master" when calling them.
In Daping Village, people who are senior but not directly related by blood usually just call one word, such as uncle, grandfather, ancestor, etc. Only those who are related by blood will call two words, such as uncle, grandfather, etc. Zuzu et al.
Of course, sometimes when children call someone, they will shout two words together.
And Tang Linbao and the others called Tang Jiancheng and "Grandpa Jiancheng", which shows that they sincerely respect Tang Jiancheng and treat him as their own grandfather.
Tang Jianwen and Tang Jianbo knew the twists and turns, so they didn't pay too much attention to it. They smiled and said, "Lin Bao, there are trees and you Lin are here. Are you planning to call Jiancheng to play cards?"
Tang Linbao said quickly: "Master Jianwen, you don't know something. We have stopped gambling. We just came here to talk to Grandpa Jiancheng."
"Quit gambling?"
Tang Jianwen asked doubtfully, "Why do I not believe it so much?"
Tang Linbao chuckled, "I'll quit gambling now."
After sitting down again, Tang Jiancheng asked: "Eldest brother, third brother, you..."
Tang Jianwen smiled and said: "We are bored sitting at home. We have to stay up late anyway, and we don't like to play cards. I thought that you have changed a lot recently and you probably won't go out to play cards, so we made an appointment to come see you together. Let’s talk about you and Lao Liu building a house next year. Unexpectedly, you are really at home, and Tang Linbao and the others are also here.”
Tang Linbao said: "Master Jianwen, if you had come earlier, you would have seen someone who surprised you even more!"
"Who is it?" Tang Jianwen was startled.
"Brother Xingde." Tang Jiancheng said with a smile, "He brought me a bottle of wine."
Tang Jianwen nodded, "This is because you are getting better and better, and I want to reconcile with you. So, people, you still have to be capable so that others can respect you, otherwise, everyone will want to step on you!"
As soon as these words came out, everyone suddenly fell into awkward silence.
Tang Jiancheng smiled and said: "It's rare that it's so lively today. Just in time, Brother Xingde brought a bottle of wine. Let's prepare a few dishes and chat while drinking?"
"You can have this!"
"Great! Just in time for a bite tonight!"
Several people agreed.
While the food and drinks were being prepared, Tang Jianbing also came, as did several people who often played cards with Tang Linbao.
All of a sudden, Tang Jiancheng's house was overcrowded and there was a big table.
