The night was so lively that by the end, even many people from the next village, Wang Jianzhong, got wind of it and came over to join in the fun.
The banquet in the small courtyard was not completed until the moon was high in the sky and the night was dark.
After having enough wine and food, and chatting happily, the villagers dispersed without finishing. The women even cleaned up the mess before leaving, stacked the stools, wiped the table and set it up on the roadside, waiting for the men to drink.
When you wake up, you can come and take it away.
The dishes and chopsticks were also washed easily. There were many people and they moved quickly, so it didn't take much effort.
The small courtyard that had been noisy all day gradually became quiet.
Under the loquat tree in the corner of the courtyard, three grown men, Heizi, Fu Yanchi, and Yan Xichong, sat side by side on a deck chair to enjoy the cold breeze, watch the stars and the moon, and chat with each other.
It was rare to get together like this. Fu Yanchi and Yan Xi would have to return to the capital in less than two days, and Heizi would continue to stick to his base camp and not see each other more than a few times a year.
The friendship between men is probably like this. No matter how long we haven't seen each other, we will never feel alienated when we get together.
"You really don't plan to go to the capital to develop? With your ability, it won't take long to get a place there." Fu Yanchi asked casually, and it was not surprising when the man refused, "I'm just asking, do you really want to go?
, I’ll kick you back again.”
Yan Xi, "Hahaha!"
Heizi closed his eyes to calm down. He was a little dizzy after drinking too much wine, but his brain was still clear and his mouth was sharp. "Can you be a fucking human being? Do you want to tease this person and that person for fun?"
"The only joy in life cannot be lost easily." Fu Yanchi sighed artificially.
"I thought your joy in life was to please your wife."
"Is that fun? That's instinct!"
Heizi, Yan Xi, "Bah!"
Yan Xi rubbed her overstuffed belly and patted her belly twice. She felt very comfortable with the evil wind blowing from all directions. "Heizi, I think Fu Yanchi's proposal can actually be considered. Dabao Xiao
Bao is ten years old this year, and he will be admitted to college in a few years. He will definitely go to the capital by then. If you go there in advance to conquer the world, you will have a backer when the two kids are gone."
"They have a backer even if I don't go there. With Qiqi here, who can bully them?" Heizi was unmoved, "It's hard to leave my homeland. My roots are rooted here and I won't go anywhere."
Fu Yanchi raised her lips and joked, "A golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as your own doghouse. You have never seen the world in your eyes. As a man, you have no ambition at all. You are considered a weirdo."
"You two are not weird."
The three of them looked at each other, and after a moment they all laughed softly.
All three of them are weird.
As for whether they have any big career ambitions, they really don’t have any. Regardless of whether they have achieved success or not, in their hearts, power, fame, and wealth are not the most important thing.
In each of their hearts, they have something that they consider truly important, and they are willing to protect it and never leave it.
Sooner or later, Fu Yan gave up the title of Yan's eldest son and devoted himself to accompanying his wife and daughter, willing to be an invisible backer behind them and remain nameless.
Yan Xi carries a heavy burden on her shoulders, but she is willing to delegate power and prefer to play games and be free in the world.
In Heizi's eyes, tractors are more appetizing than Rolls-Royce and him.
In the main room, Chen Jianhe hadn't left yet. He, Zhang Xifeng, Yan Huai, and Song Yueliang were sitting around the small wooden table, talking nonstop, chewing a peanut to go with the wine.
It’s been a long time since we last met, and I have so many things to say in my heart. The man who has always been serious and taciturn seemed to talk a lot tonight.
A lot of wine was drunk at the table. The man's dark face was red, and he had a cheerful and comfortable smile at the corners of his eyes and brows. "Last year, Heizi went to the capital. When I came back, I told everyone that you are all well. You and the old man are in good health. Xiao Fu's illness
It’s good, Qiqi has returned to school, and everyone feels more relieved now. Now that I see you back with my own eyes, I have no regrets anymore.”
Zhang Xifeng laughed and scolded him, "I've never seen you so sad about spring and autumn before. As you get older, you've become more out of temper than your mother-in-law."
"Look, I just like to hear you talking in my ear, Auntie, so I can have a good sleep when I get home."
Everyone laughed.
"Second uncle, it was difficult to contact us during those few years when we were away, and we have always missed the village in our hearts." Song Yueliang spoke up, and then introduced the topic, "Can you tell us about the village? My mother-in-law and I both like to hear it."
Chen Jianhe straightened his back. He could talk about the village affairs for three days and three nights, but there was a rich man in the shopping mall next to him. He could talk. I wonder if Mr. Yan would think he was verbose.
It's not that he's afraid of annoying people. Isn't that brat Heizi working under the Yan family?
Yan Huai understood immediately with one look and said with a smile, "Brother Chen, you can't be discriminatory. I'm an old guy too, and I like to listen to people chatting, especially about things in our Taoxi Village."
Amid laughter, Chen Jianhe started talking from the beginning with great interest.
Talking about the origin of Changshou Village, the development of the young people in the village, Taoxi Village becoming the face of the town, the old man Wang Jianzhong and the old village chief starting to dance again every time they see him, and the Qiqi Library coming to Qiqi Library every holiday.
More outstanding children who love to study say that food factories and new energy companies are generating income every year.
The topic went around in a circle, and finally returned to Heizi. Chen Jianhe, as usual, began to show off his son-in-law.
"There are no tigers and monkeys in the mountains to dominate. I'm talking about Heizi. After you all left, he stayed and started to dominate. I looked at him coldly at first to see what tricks he could do, but the stinky boy commented the next year.
He is an excellent entrepreneur. If he didn't have a criminal record, he could have squeezed into the town committee, this brat."
When talking about this son-in-law, Chen Jianhe's expression also changed. There was disgust in his words, but his eyes were full of satisfaction and pride.
Zhang Xifeng smiled and sighed, "In the past, when people in the village talked about Heizi, they were afraid and jealous. No one was willing to mess with him. I didn't expect that child would have such great fortunes in the end. It's no wonder that you never gave up on him."
"But I didn't give up on him. I was also thinking about the two families having the same surname. His parents were gone, so when he came back to the village, I couldn't really see him without rice, so I took care of him a little. In the past, I just looked after him.
It’s not pleasing to the eye. He looks like he’s pulling his face, looking at people sideways from the corner of his eyes, and he looks like he deserves a beating.”
Yan Huai said to him, "This is why people should not be judged by their appearance. I look at you, Brother Chen, you are extremely satisfied with this son-in-law."
Chen Jianhe Langxiao admitted it, and he relaxed in front of his family, "The brat is getting better and better as he hangs around outside. To be honest, I was worried at first. Now that a man is famous and rich, there are definitely not a few people who change their appearance.
, you can find examples everywhere. Heizi has gained a lot of experience outside and has a broad vision, so it is not impossible for him to look down on peach blossoms. People's hearts are unpredictable and no one can see it. And with his current ability, he can't let go if he wants to.
If he leaves, there's nothing I can do against him. I'm a country boy with muddy legs, and my abilities only go so far."
