Although the road we arrived home was a cement road, because the contractor cut corners and used mostly tractors, potholes appeared on the ground not long after the water was poured. When he rode over, there was a violent shock that made Jin Huabin unconscious.
He tightened his hands and hugged her waist. A feeling like an electric shock hit his forehead. A gust of wind blew a few strands of Zhang Guifang's long hair into his nose. Oh my god, Jin Huabin's nose felt itchy.
She sneezed suddenly, and Zhang Guifang was caught off guard. She braked suddenly and the car rushed forward. The two of them almost fell into the rice field. This scene happened to be seen by an old farmer in the village who was pouring manure on vegetables. The old farmer was carrying a manure
Shao, raised his head and smiled, said hello to Jin Huabin, loudly sang a Peking Opera line and joked: "Qiao Guiying captured Xiao Zongbao, beat the horse and ran to the village."
It’s bad now. This old man likes to tell stories. He doesn’t know how much gossip there will be in the village tomorrow. Jin Huabin smiled bitterly, came to the entrance of the village, and said to Zhang Guifang: "Wait a moment, I will pick up the bicycle at home and take you back."
Home."
It was indeed inappropriate to go to his house for the first time on a blind date. Zhang Guifang nodded shyly. Under the old juniper tree at the entrance of the village, Zhang Guifang walked back and forth uneasily. She walked around the tree countless times before she saw Jin Huabin riding a bicycle.
Come here. Afraid of being seen, the two of them rode bicycles in tandem towards Zhang Guifang's home, Shanlixi, until they reached the road around the city. Thinking of the experience just now, they couldn't help but look at each other and laugh.
After turning a corner, there was the village where Zhang Guifang was. She looked up and saw that there were electric lights on under three large camphor trees and a small square table. Two people were sitting at the table, one was her father and the other was an old man in ragged clothes.
Sitting facing each other and drinking.
The open space under the camphor tree was my father's stone storage yard and simple processing plant. Therefore, my father liked to have a drink with his coworkers here when he was free. His sharp eyesight had already noticed his daughter coming on a bicycle. She stopped drinking and said: "
The blind date is back. How are you guys? Aunt Liu didn't lie to us, did she?"
Zhang Guifang stopped the car and sheepishly shouted behind her: "Stop, this is my father."
Her father turned his head and looked at it, nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, yes, he is a good young man. Can you drink? Stop and have a drink with me and your Uncle Wu." After saying that, he took two drinks from the work shed.
I poured it into a small bowl, which made Jin Huabin, who had followed me, blush. It was neither a matter of stopping nor a retreat.
"Take it, my dad is an alcoholic. He will be unhappy if he doesn't drink." After Zhang Guifang finished speaking, she picked up a wine bowl and handed the other bowl to him.
How can a daughter say that her father is an alcoholic? Jin Huabin looked at her, took the wine bowl, and said to her father: "Thank you, Uncle, I don't drink well." After saying that, he took it over and tasted it gently.
After one sip, the smell of alcohol rushed straight to my forehead, it was a high degree of sorghum earthenware roasting.
"Young man, he looks like a white-faced scholar, but he does things cheerfully. Come on, let's get to know each other. This is your Uncle Wu, my old friend. I just happened to be here to discuss things. You two are young and knowledgeable. Give me two old bones together.
Come up with some ideas." After saying that, regardless of whether he wanted to or not, he pushed him onto the stool and sat down.
It seemed that the two of them had had a little too much wine, and it was not easy to refuse the drunken elders. Jin Huabin had to sit down, turned to the guests, and said hello. His father said that Uncle Wu had a gray beard and wrinkles on his face.
, his face is dark and rosy, but he is in great spirits. Judging from his beard and wrinkles, he looks like he is sixty or seventy years old. The muscles exposed outside his clothes are extremely strong, and he has a lot of strength, as if he is in his prime. Most craftsmen rely on strength to make a living.
Everyone is like this, blacksmiths, stonemasons, etc. The state-owned art carving factory where Jin Huabin's father works is divided into jade carvings and stone carvings. Stone carvings use marble as raw material. The workers work in the open air all day long, exposed to the sun and rain, and it looks like this. Zhang Guifang took out the piece of paper he drew on the teahouse and said, "Dad, I encountered a strange thing in the teahouse today. Look, what did I find in the city?" After that, he handed the piece of paper to his father and said:
"I actually saw your mark, Dad, but I remember that Dad has never carved such a stone window."
Her dad took the rubbing paper, looked at it, took a sip of the wine, and said with a proud smile: "This is indeed carved by me. How can I let you little kid know everything? This is your Uncle Wu."
One of the reasons why our family came."
It turned out that because he felt that his factory was affiliated with the Civil Affairs Bureau, carving tombstones and so on, although stable and profitable, was always looked down upon by others and was not a long-term solution. Therefore, his father tried to find a stone slab and used all his energy.
I used my own craftsmanship to carve out this window to look like an old window lattice, and applied acetic acid and mud on the surface. After baking it, it made it look old. I gave it to the owner of the teahouse to test the water. It was no coincidence.
, was discovered by his daughter.
The four of them were drinking while listening to Zhang Guifang's father's introduction: "Your uncle Wu is called Wu Guixiao. He is a great man. He is one of the famous stonemasons in Xianju County. His craftsmanship was passed down from the ancestor Zhang Zongzu."
He is good at breaking all kinds of stone windows. What are the names of these stone windows? You can tinker with the two juniors for me." After saying that, without waiting for Master Wu to reply, he picked up the bowl and stood up and went straight to Jin Huabin.
Toast, looks drunk.
Jin Huabin quickly picked up the bowl and took a polite sip. He said angrily: "Don't give me face? You did it." After saying that, he took a few steps forward, his eyes wide open and stared like bells, his neck
The red tendons were exposed. Jin Huabin had seen this posture before. His hands were shaking with fear. He drank all the wine in the bowl in one gulp. He choked and coughed while covering his hands with his hands. After a while, his stomach was churning and he wanted to vomit.
Upon seeing this, Zhang Guifang hurriedly took the wine bowl from her father's hand and said, "Dad, stop drinking. If you keep drinking like this, you will scare away the guests."
Wu Guishao stood up unsteadily and said, "Old brother, I didn't know that today is the first time you and your son-in-law have met. I'm going back and let's talk about our business again." After saying that, he staggered away. Slowly, his mind began to get confused and he got drunk. Jin Huabin couldn't bear it anymore and hurried to the foot of the camphor tree. Holding the big camphor tree with his hand, he began to vomit like a maniac. Pingboli's family was strict, and when he was at home.
, Jin Huabin only drank one bottle of beer at most once. Today, he drank a bowl of white wine in less than half an hour, a full four taels. This was the first time in his life. He vomited and listened at the same time.
The father and daughter were quarreling, and the content seemed to be related to them, but it seemed to have nothing to do with them. After vomiting for a while, even the bile was vomited out, and the mouth was filled with a bitter taste. It seemed that someone was tapping them gently.
He raised his back and asked: "Are you still feeling uncomfortable? How about I pour you a cup of strong tea to sober up?"
Jin Huabin knew it was Zhang Guifang, so he endured the discomfort and turned around. He was about to say thank you, but he couldn't help but vomited all over her again.
