Ma Wu's house is a small courtyard with its own family. As soon as you enter the courtyard, although it is small, it has all the internal organs.
After entering the door, there is a screen wall and an inverted room in the south. There is a pomegranate and a jujube tree in the yard. There is no woman at home. It is quite difficult for two bachelors to keep such a yard so clean.
Du Weiguo and Ma Wu were invited into the main hall of the north room. It was still the same, with blue bricks paving the floor, official hat chairs and a table with eight immortals. The paintings hanging on the wall had been changed. It used to be a picture of flowers blooming and wealth, but now it is a picture of pine and cranes prolonging life.
Haha, it can be seen that Ma Wuye was a little scared to death after experiencing this prison sentence.
When Du Weiguo arrived, the food and wine had been prepared on the table and were still steaming hot. He washed his hands in the copper basin and was invited to the main seat. After some concessions to no avail, Du Weiguo stopped being polite.
.
Today's meal in the Ma family can no longer be described as rich, it can only be described as luxurious. Although Du Weiguo specifically told Xiao Ma to have a homely meal, Ma Wu still put in the effort.
There are not many dishes, only five dishes, but what is on the table is really rare, water-cooked beef.
Stir-fried beef, braised beef and potatoes, beef meatballs, old vinegar jellyfish, there is a copper drum pot in the middle, open the lid, there is a pot full of maroon braised steak and oxtail.
Good guy, the color and taste are first-class, not only that, the aroma is even more attractive. It is straight to the nose and makes people salivate.
This was the first time Du Weiguo had eaten fresh beef since he traveled through time. He said with a smile:
"Fifth Master, please bother me! Beef is a rare thing. I can't hold back my saliva."
Ma Wu listened to Du Weiguo's praise and smiled sincerely: "Chief Du, it's rare for you to come here. This is the craftsmanship of the old people in Guanxi. Please try it out."
"Okay! Then I won't be polite."
After Du Weiguo finished speaking, he moved his chopsticks and ate his food happily. Later, he disliked the trouble of using chopsticks and got so used to it that he didn't show any manners or etiquette.
But the more he behaves like this, the happier Ma Wu and Xiao Ma feel, and they smile happily. This is because they don’t regard them as outsiders!
The beef from Guanxi is indeed very delicious. The heat is full, the meat is crispy and the bones are rotten. The aroma of the beef itself is perfectly balanced by the seasonings. It is fragrant and melts in the mouth. Du Weiguo feels that it is better than the mutton pot of Kuai Laosanjia.
, maybe it’s because beef itself is more delicious than sheep head?
Du Weiguo thought to himself that he would have to find out where the private restaurant of this old man from Guanxi was, and take Yang Caiyu with him to have a tooth ceremony another day.
After eating a few mouthfuls of meat and chewing two bones, his appetite was satisfied. Du Weiguo then picked up the wet towel on the table and wiped his face, then took the initiative to pick up the wine glass. The wine is good, I don’t know how many years it has been aged.
Old wine.
It was packed in a wine jar, without even a label. The wine was light amber in color, and when you sniffed it gently, the aroma of the wine hit your nostrils.
"Fifth Master, Brother Ma, come on, let's have a drink together. I wish you both good luck, and I wish you all the best in the future."
"Thank you, Chief Du!"
"Thank you, Chief Du!"
The two men quickly stood up and picked up the wine glasses. The three of them clinked the glasses together and drank a glass. It was indeed a good wine. It was soft in the mouth, warm and not spicy, but it passed through the intestines like a line of fire, and suddenly the whole body was warmed up.
Already.
After Ma Wu put down his wine glass, he stood up and poured a glass for Du Weiguo. He also filled the wine glass, and then asked Xiao Ma to fill his own wine glass as well.
He picked up the wine glass, his eyes were red, and he said sincerely: "Chief Du, I can't thank you enough for your kindness. We owe you two lives. In the future, as long as you drive us, we will have nothing to say."
After saying that, the two of them started to do it together. Du Weiguo had no choice but to smile bitterly and have a drink.
After three drinks and five dishes, Du Weiguo was basically full. He put down his chopsticks and said:
"Fifth Master, Brother Xiaoma, thank you for your warm hospitality. I really want to have a chat with you two about something today."
"Chief Du, if you need anything, just say hello."
When Ma Wu saw Du Weiguo put down his chopsticks, he was already sitting upright and listening to the order, and Xiao Ma also pricked up his ears.
Du Weiguo lit a cigarette and said calmly:
"Fifth Master, I don't know if you have a way to go south and cross the sea. It can be anywhere from Xiangjiang to Nanyang. If there is, you can take Brother Ma across the sea!"
Du Weiguo's words were very soft, but when they hit Ma Wu's ears, they were like a thunderbolt from the blue. His whole body was shaking like chaff.
"Chief Du, this is me~~"
Du Weiguo smiled: "Fifth Master, don't think too much. No one wants to deal with you now. It's just that the world has changed. Sooner or later, Sijiu City will no longer be able to accommodate you. You turned out to be a traitor~~~" Omitted here
500 words.
Du Weiguo didn't say much, but he believed that Ma Yun must have understood. In fact, Ma Wu had thought about going south a long time ago, but at that time Chen Guangliang said that he had already set his sights on him. The older he gets, the less courageous he becomes.
, Ma Wusheng was frightened and did not dare to move.
Today Du Weiguo took the initiative to bring it up, and his idea of going south suddenly became so strong that he could hardly suppress it.
Ma Wuzhan asked tremblingly: "Chief Du, where is Section Chief Chen~"
Du Weiguo said calmly: "You two, don't leave with a big fanfare. If you disappear without a trace, he probably won't embarrass you."
"Plop!" Ma Wu knelt down, stretched out his hand and pulled Xiao Ma, who was still in a dazed state, to kneel down too.
Ma Wu knocked his head heavily on the ground:
"Chief Du, thank you. We, the Ma family, will remember your kindness for the rest of our lives. As long as one of our Ma family members can breathe, you will never hesitate to go up the mountain of swords and the sea of fire as long as you drive them. If you violate it, you will be punished."
We will never be reincarnated!"
Du Weiguo has never been content with the idea of kneeling down and kowtowing, nor does he believe in swearing or swearing. The so-called promises are useless.
He stood up and helped Ma Wu up:
"Fifth Master, there is no need for this. Since we have met each other, you and Xiao Ma can live a peaceful life in peace from now on!"
"Thank you, thank you!" Ma Wu stood up and burst into tears, while Xiao Ma looked confused.
The banquet was over and Du Weiguo had left. The Ma family and his father were sitting across from each other at the dining table. Ma Wu wiped away his tears and drank another glass of wine.
Xiao Ma asked very puzzledly: "Dad, why does Section Chief Du want us to leave? Does he want us to cross the sea to Nanyang? He has left his hometown. Doesn't he want to take care of us again in the future?"
Ma Wu gave him a hard slap on the head: "You know nothing! Du Weiguo is giving our Ma family a real way to survive. Xiao Ma, just remember, he is our family's great benefactor, forever."
We must not forget that if one day our Ma family can return to the Forty-Nine City again, we must try our best to repay him."
Xiao Ma actually still didn't understand, but Lao Ma was so excited at the moment that he was not in the mood to explain to him.
Du Weiguo was riding his bicycle while feeling the cold wind of early winter. Maybe it was because he had been drinking. He didn't feel cold at all, but felt very comfortable.
Du Weiguo thought to himself that Ma Wu really had no choice but to run away, and there was no other way. Not only for himself. Once the disaster came, not only would he be unlucky, Xiao Ma would also suffer, and even Du Weiguo would be in trouble.
been implicated.
Unconsciously, he rode his bike to Mao Mao Hutong. Du Weiguo was far away when he saw He Yuyu walking with his head down like a lonely ghost.
Du Weiguo stopped the car far away from her and smoked a cigarette, missing the chance to meet her. Du Weiguo was already tired of the trivial things in the courtyard and didn't want to get involved in the slightest.
After returning home, Du Weiguo boiled water and washed himself, then lay on the bed and read for a while, then turned over and fell asleep. He had trouble sleeping well last night due to insomnia, and he drank alcohol again tonight, so he fell asleep quickly and soundly.
Fortunately, tonight, he didn't have that nasty dream like "Are you okay?"
On Wednesday, Du Weiguo went to the steel rolling mill and ordered a knot, then rode directly to the hospital. Today was the day to get Comrade Hao's physical examination report. Du Weiguo went there by himself today, without even taking Yang Caiyu with him.
First I found my mother-in-law, who took Xiao Du to find an old doctor with gray hair. He was thin and energetic, and he seemed to have superb medical skills.
The old doctor held up his glasses and read various test reports carefully, and asked calmly: "Little comrade, who is your patient?"
"Old sir, he is my uncle." Du Weiguo was pounding in his heart, terrified.
"Well, he actually doesn't have any specific symptoms or serious illnesses. It's just that he probably suffered a lot of injuries when he was young, some even fatal. He seriously injured his internal organs. Now that he's older, his overall organs have failed, and he's in such a state
He is just getting old and his energy is running low."
"Old sir, how should he be nursed back to health?"
The old doctor adjusted his glasses and said calmly: "It is best to rest. Now sleep is his life-saving elixir. Go and prescribe two bottles of painkillers. This comrade should often wake up from pain. Let him take one before going to bed at night."
A few pills can provide some relief.”
"Old sir, what about him~"
The old doctor smiled. With his experience at his age, he had already understood people's hearts: "Hehehe, little comrade, I'm just a doctor, not a god. I can't predict people's lifespan."
Du Weiguo scratched his head in embarrassment. He also knew that this question was stupid: "Okay, please excuse me, old gentleman."
