As soon as Chu Heng went out, he met Aunt Li next door and asked her, "Auntie, do you know what is going on?"
"I don't know much about that." Aunt Li shook her head and rushed towards the middle courtyard with small steps, trying to get a good position.
There are few entertainment activities in this era, and holding conferences is also a good pastime, so everyone is very active.
Chu Heng, who had something to do, shook his head helplessly and followed the crowd into the middle courtyard.
The courtyard is divided into three courtyards: front, middle and back. More than 20 households and hundreds of people gather together in a bustling atmosphere.
Chu Heng arrived late and could only stand at the outermost edge of the crowd, but he could still see clearly what was going on inside.
It's similar to the scene in the TV series. The first uncle, second uncle, and third uncle are sitting at a square table in a graceful manner. However, their appearance is somewhat different from that in the TV series, and they are much younger.
In addition to these three old treasures, Xu Damao and Lou Xiao'e were also among the crowd, and He Yuzhu was sitting nearby.
Seeing this posture, Chu Heng immediately guessed that today's conference was held because of the incident of Xu Damao's family losing chicken.
Sure enough, by the time everyone had arrived.
The second uncle, Lao Guanmi, stood up and spoke. His chubby figure looked quite cute: "Today we are holding an all-hands meeting. The only content is that one of Xu Damao's chickens was stolen..."
When Chu Heng heard that this was true, he immediately became energetic and stood aside to watch the show with great interest.
The process of the conference was similar to that in the TV series. In order to protect the stick, Shazhu directly lied that he stole the chicken.
Immediately afterwards, the second uncle and the third uncle sang and harmonized, and finally decided that Xu Damao would take away the chicken soup, and Shazhu would pay another 55 yuan to settle the matter.
However, Chu Heng, who had already understood the truth, made a new discovery.
He saw the calmness in Widow Qin's eyes, the joy in Banggian's face, and the nervousness in Zhang's face.
Anyway, no one in this family felt sorry for Silly Zhu, as if they should have been punished on their behalf.
"A family of white-eyed wolves." Chu Heng smiled coldly and turned to leave.
"Tsengko!"
Xu Damao stopped him at this time, raised the casserole stewed chicken in his hand, and invited: "Let's go to my brother's house for a drink."
Chu Heng smiled and waved his hand, explaining: "Thank you, Brother Damao, first. I'll go to my second uncle's house later, and I'll treat you to a drink later."
"Then you will have no luck." Xu Damao smiled triumphantly and deliberately said loudly to Silly Zhu: "This chicken soup is really delicious."
"Be careful, I'll eat you to death." Silly Zhu snorted angrily and waved his hand to Chu Heng: "Hengzi, his pot of food is laced with laxatives. I'll make a separate portion for you later and let's drink some."
"Okay, I'll wait." Chu Heng looked at the poor guy with a smile, turned back to his home, took the things he had prepared and rushed to the home of the original owner, his second uncle Chu Jianshe.
Chu Jianshe's family is located in Chongwenmen, which is also a large courtyard. However, the leaders of various units live there, and there are not as many things happening in Chu Heng's large courtyard.
Chu Heng rode his bicycle all the way and arrived at the place in less than twenty minutes, just in time for dinner at his house.
As soon as he entered the house, he was warmly welcomed by Chu Jianshe's two children.
The eldest brother Chu Qi, who was already half a man tall, took what he had in his hand with gleaming eyes and greeted happily: "Brother, what delicious food have you brought?"
"You brat, you know how to eat every day." Chu Heng smiled and kicked him on the butt.
At this time, Chu Xue, who was only eight years old, came over with her short legs, opened her little arms to hug his thigh, and smiled sweetly with her pink and fleshy face: "Brother."
Chu Heng bent down and picked up Xiao Douding: "Xiaoxue misses Big Brother."
"I've thought about it." Chu Xue nodded vigorously, pouted and took a bite on his face, leaving a sticky saliva mark.
"Go share the delicious food with your brother." Chu Heng smiled and put her on the ground.
"You kid, you bring so many things every time you come here, what good can you say!" Chu Heng's second aunt Li Chunxiao walked forward, glared at him accusingly, and then took his arm and walked into the house: "Hurry up Come in, your second uncle said you were coming today and is waiting for you."
"Second uncle is still as good at knowing things as ever." Chu Heng smiled without surprise and walked into the room with Li Chunxiao.
On the simple and elegant Eight Immortals table, wine and food were already prepared. Chu Jianshe, who was a little fat, was sitting at the table. When he saw him coming in, he smiled and waved: "I knew you kid couldn't sit still."
"Even if this matter changes, you still can't sit still." Chu Heng was not polite, took off his military green cotton-padded clothes and threw it on the sofa next to him. He sat down next to Chu Jianshe, took a piece of meat and stuffed it into his mouth. While eating, he asked: "Second uncle, can you tell me what's going on?"
"Luo Zhengrong wants to pick peaches." Chu Jianshe raised the wine cup and gestured: "I'll go with my second uncle."
Chu Heng picked up the filled wine cup, touched it with him, raised his head and drank it. He immediately took the wine bottle next to him, poured wine for Chu Jianshe and continued to ask: "Then what should I do?"
"Follow your class well and don't make any mistakes in your work. Your second uncle will take care of other things for you." Chu Jianshe smiled coldly and said domineeringly: "His position, Luo Zhengrong, is higher than mine, but I, Chu Jianshe, They are not made of mud. If you want to gain a piece of meat on my territory, I will smash his teeth!"
Chu Jianshe's words were not bragging at the wine table. His old comrades and leaders were all over the Forty-Nine City. If he really went all out to fight Luo Zhengrong, it was not certain who would lose and who would win.
"I know what to do." Chu Heng felt relieved in an instant, and stopped talking. Instead of continuing the conversation, he threw away his chopsticks and started eating and drinking.
Since his backer is not afraid of Luo Zhengrong, he doesn't have to be afraid of Luo Yang and can let go.
After they had eaten and drank enough, Chu Heng chatted with his second uncle and second aunt about their parents, and then he said goodbye and left. When he left, he also took away a lot of cigarette and alcohol tickets from Chu Jianshe, as well as three taels of tea.
It was almost seven o'clock when he returned to the courtyard.
There isn't much nightlife these days. Chu Heng got into bed as soon as he got home, but after tossing and turning for a long time, he didn't fall asleep.
In the end, he simply stopped sleeping, got up, put on his clothes, and ran to the courtyard with the wine he bought today, intending to have some with Shazhu. The spiced peanuts made by that guy were excellent.
As soon as he passed the courtyard gate, he saw Shazhu and Widow Qin talking together, their faces almost touching each other.
"Ouch, I came at the wrong time." Chu Heng called out deliberately and looked at them with a wicked smile: "What do you two mean? Are you a couple?"
"You're talking nonsense and I'll tear your mouth apart." Widow Qin gave him a soft roll of her eyes, looking so charming.
"That's right, what are you talking about? This is my sister. She is here to solve a lifelong problem for me." Silly Zhu grinned and asked him: "What are you doing in the middle courtyard if you don't sleep at night?" .”
"Can't sleep, I want you to drink something." Chu Heng shook the wine bottle in his hand.
"That's a good idea. Come on, let's go. I still have some peanuts in the house, just in time for wine." Seeing that it was good wine, Silly Zhu's eyes suddenly lit up, and he quickly pulled him into the house, leaving Widow Qin behind. In situ.
