Chapter 297 The bookstore was very popular that day, and the boss lit up a cigarette and talked about the past...
"Bang!"
A huge wine jug slammed onto the stone table, shaking and causing a few drops of wine to spill out of the spout.
"Oh my, Mo Guang Mo Guang, why are you working so hard? A lot of wine has been spilled!"
Hong Xiaochen stretched out his palm with a distressed look on his face, trying to catch the wine spilling from the spout, but he took one step at night and the wine dripped onto the table.
"Ah! What a waste! What a waste! The wine has been fermented for several years but has not been drunk. It must have died with its eyes closed!"
Hong Xiaochen looked at the wine drops on the table and smelled the strong aroma of wine in the air. He couldn't help but stretched his neck forward and leaned over there, with the tip of his tongue half exposed...
"Oh, forget it, nine out of ten people in this world are unhappy, so it's better to be more open-minded. It's always a bit bad to be seen coughing and licking the table by an important member of the city lord's palace..."
Hong Xiaochen thought about it for a while, but still let out a long sigh. He couldn't make up his mind, so he had to sit back and still let out a long sigh.
"Hahaha, it's my younger brother's fault. I must apologize to my elder brother."
Hei Muguang cheerfully placed the wine glasses in front of himself and Hong Xiaochen, and reached out to grab the wine bottle: "In order to express my apology to the elder brother, I will punish myself with two glasses first, and give the elder brother a bad one...
...huh?"
The smile on Hei Muguang's face froze, and he looked at Hong Xiaochen who reached out to take the wine bottle into his arms, and his outstretched hand hovered in the air.
"Slow!"
Hong Xiaochen's slumped look just now disappeared in an instant. He looked at Hei Muguang with a smile on his face and spoke leisurely.
"Mo Guang, this is an old wine that my eldest brother has collected for many years. It was in front of you that I reluctantly took it out, thinking that we two brothers would have a good drink.
But you have to drink two glasses of wine before your elder brother has a taste. Isn’t it a bit unkind?"
"Haha, look at what you said, brother. Isn't this my apology to you? Why don't you say drink first and then drink?"
Hei Muguang was stunned for a moment, and then put on a sincere smile.
"My little brother just behaved inappropriately and accidentally spilled the wine. He will certainly be punished. I don't think there is anything wrong with it, right?"
"Eh, no, no, no, no fish, this water is clear and there are no fish. If it is full, it will lose. This is the principle of nature. If you can't force it, I will lend the breeze a few wisps of wine, and you can drink with the sky!" p>
Hong Xiaochen smiled boldly, picked up the wine bottle, and was about to pour it into his own glass.
"Brother Fool made a mistake and shocked Brother Xian. He deserves to be punished, he deserves to be punished, hahahaha!"
"Slow!"
When Hei Muguang saw that Hong Xiaochen not only neutralized his own move, but also counterattacked an entire army, he quickly stretched out his hand to block Hong Xiaochen's arm, preventing the opponent's next move.
"Huh?"
Hong Xiaochen's smile froze, and she raised her face to look at Hei Muguang: "Wonderful brother?"
"Brother!"
Hei Muguang smiled slightly: "I also have some aged wine hidden in my home."
"Oh?"
Hong Xiaochen’s eyelids twitched slightly, but she also smiled.
"Really?"
"Naturally take it seriously."
Hei Muguang and Hong Xiaochen looked at each other.
Hei Muguang: "..."
Hong Xiaochen: "..."
"Hahahahaha!"*2
Suddenly the two of them burst out laughing together, their palms loosening slightly.
"Wonderful brother, hurry up and have a drink with foolish brother!"
"Being respectful is worse than obeying orders!"
"Hahahahaha!"*2
"Fuck!"*2
"..."
After three rounds of drinking.
"No, as expected, aged wine!"
Hei Muguang's face was slightly drunk, he gave a thumbs up and said sincerely: "Brother, be tough!"
"Hahaha, of course, I, Hong Xiaochen, can still fool my brothers with fakes?!"
Hong Xiaochen refilled his cup again and happily took off the storage bag from his waist.
"To put it bluntly, no matter how naughty my daughter is, she is still her father's caring little cotton-padded jacket.
Look, this little bag Xiaoli gave me can hold several bottles of fine wine! It has greatly facilitated our brothers’ illegal activities behind the scenes. I mean, it has greatly facilitated our brothers’ relationship. It’s really convenient.
Not bad hahahaha!"
(Hongli:???)
"Ha, my little brother also has this little bag. My Xiaoyang has also been a filial child since he was a child!"
Hei Muguang Yile took off the storage bag from his waist and placed it on the table, and said proudly: "Not only is my daughter a caring little cotton-padded jacket, but my son is also his father's... uh... his father's caring big pants!
Hahahaha!"
(Heiyang:???)
"Um, is there a possibility that the children didn't give us this to hold wine?"
"Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"
"Hahaha, I think so!"
“Let’s have a few more drinks for the filial piety of our children!”
"Hahaha, that's exactly how it should be, do it!"
"..."
After three rounds of drinking, the two buddies were already red in the face, but they still had enough alcohol to hold on and were still relatively sober.
"Speaking of which, brother..."
Hong Xiaochen looked around and saw pavilions, stone chairs and tables, the lake was twinkling, the mountains were lined up, and the white clouds were misty.
"You said we secretly came to the pavilion in the middle of the lake to drink and have fun on the pretext of organizing a happy event for our children. We won't be discovered by our wife, right?"
"Ah, cough..."
Hei Muguang's eyes were blank, and he looked around with a guilty conscience, until he didn't find Qing Yiyi around, then he leaned forward and whispered: "You must have confidence, haven't we already stepped on the spot several times?"
/p>
This month, the ice on the lake is about to melt at the Pavilion in the Heart of the Lake, and children and young people are restrained by their families from getting close to it.
Coupled with the cold wind, not to mention the elderly, even the young may not be able to bear it.
No, I saw it a few days ago. Even the ghosts in this desolate place in the middle of the lake are unwilling to come..."
"Ahem!"
Hong Xiaochen coughed and interrupted Hei Muguang: "Well, Brother Xian is right. I think I understand what you mean. There is no need to say that you are unwilling to come. After all... ha, isn't this still...
There are two of us!"
"Hey, sorry for the slip of the tongue."
Hei Muguang chuckled and showed a sad expression: "What I'm thinking about now is not whether I will be discovered while drinking, but how to hide it when I go back!"
"Huh?"
Hong Xiaochen raised his brows: "God knows and earth knows that you know and I know, how can it be revealed?"
"Oh, how can there be a wall that is airtight in the world?"
Hei Muguang waved his hand and said with a frustrated look: "We have been husband and wife for nearly twenty years. If nothing else, they can tell something is wrong as long as our eyes are slightly wrong.
Not to mention sleeping with my wife in my arms in the middle of the night, and if someone smells alcohol all over my body, I will be kicked out of bed..."
"??!"
Hong Xiaochen stared and couldn't help blurting out: "How can this work? Then my second child plan...
Well, I didn't say anything just now, and you didn't hear anything, Mu Guang."
"..."
The muscles on Hei Muguang's face twitched for a while, but finally he thought that business was more important, and nodded expressionlessly: "Oh."
"???"
Hong Xiaochen's mouth twitched: "Oh? You just said: Oh?"
"What if?"
Hei Muguang frowned.
"You won't..."
Hong Xiaochen pointed to the sky with a smile: "Swear a poisonous oath or something, for example, if you hear it, you will be struck by thunder and lightning?"
"Brother Xiaochen, do you believe that I will carry the bottle of wine home to find them right now?"
Hei Muguang said quietly: "How about the two of us die together?"
"..."
Hong Xiaochen stiffened, and the image of himself and Hei Muguang lying in a pool of blood suddenly appeared in his mind, and he couldn't help but shudder.
"Ahem, haha, of course, of course, business is important, business is important!"
Hong Xiaochen quickly forced a smile and said: "Let's continue to discuss how to hide this matter!"
"This is the right thing!"
Hei Muguang showed a relieved smile. To be honest, he was much more panicked than his elder brother Hong Xiaochen. Is his sister-in-law Lan Yuying really a lady? Before marrying Hong Xiaochen, she had never seen someone kill a chicken.
.
At most, after getting married, Hong Xiaochen taught his wife a few tricks, but that was it, she was still a graceful lady at heart.
But his Yiyi, haha, that’s the girl who picked up a knife and chased the wolf to kill her at twelve or thirteen...
"Smell of alcohol...smell of alcohol...what should I do?"
Hong Xiaochen tapped his fingers on the stone table with a depressed look on his face, while continuing to drink. The more worried he became, the more he wanted to drink, and the more he drank, the more sad he felt.
"Hey! Got it!"
Hong Xiaochen's eyes suddenly lit up and he finished his drink in one gulp. Seeing Hei Muguang looking over with confusion, he proudly pointed to the surrounding lakes and said with a smile: "After you finish drinking, you and I will go first."
If you don’t go home, just take a dip in this lake for a while and keep the alcohol away, hahaha!”
"???"
Hei Muguangxian glanced at the lake where ice debris was still floating, and a bunch of question marks popped up on his head.
No... Although they are indeed strong and have recently begun to practice the exercises brought by their children, he is not used to winter swimming!
"That..."
Hei Muguang said with a complicated expression: "Can't we find a bathhouse or something...?"
"Your bathhouse is open in the first month of the year!"
"Well, after fifteen, it will probably open?"
The corner of Hei Muguang's mouth twitched and he shook his head. There were so many people and so many eyes, which made it even more obvious. There was no three hundred taels of silver here, so it was self-inflicted.
"Wait..."
Hei Muguang's eyes suddenly lit up, and he moved the table suddenly, attracting Hong Xiaochen's confused gaze: "What's wrong?"
"Yes!"
"Your plan for a second child has been successful?!"
"Brother Xiaochen... let's die together."
"Ah, ahem, dear brother, please tell me!"
"Humph, listen up."
Hei Muguang cleared his throat, stretched out a finger, and said leisurely: "Since it's difficult to pretend, let's just stop pretending and go home after drinking!"
"???"
Hong Xiaochen had a question mark on his face and a look of horror on his face: "Is your life in danger?"
"Look what you said."
Hei Muguang rolled his eyes and continued: "As the saying goes, the most difficult lies to detect are half-truths and half-lies. We only need to..."
"Well, now, Brother Xiaochen, you remember!"
Hei Muguang looked directly into Hong Xiaochen's confused eyes and said word by word: "After we left home, we immediately contacted helpers, contacted people, and arranged for the marriage of our children.
However, you also know that those people are very bad. They always want to cheat the three of us, make things difficult for us, shirk in every possible way, and refuse to do it without giving us more money!
In the spirit of diligence and frugality, as well as my wife’s sincere teachings, we argued with each other and quoted scriptures to try to persuade him."
"Uh..."
Hong Xiaochen's expression was stiff: "Then... you persuaded them to the wine table?"
"Clever!"
Hei Muguang gave his elder brother an approving look.
"There's no point in negotiating outside the wine table! Since they invite us to fight for wine, even if it's a few versus many, for the sake of my wife's face, how can we brothers be so easily afraid!
After three rounds of wine and three rounds of wine, the aging wine is replenished and the glass is replenished!
The two of us overcame all obstacles, advanced triumphantly, and defeated one opponent after another, finally!"
"We return with a great victory!"
Hong Xiaochen understood, and he said with joy: "We have won this victory!"
"No! We lost miserably!"
"???"
"Don't worry yet."
Hei Muguang stretched out his hand to stop Hong Xiaochen from asking first, but continued: "We drank so much that our stomachs were churning, we vomited, we lay on the table, our eyes were in a daze, but we still refused to give up!
In the end, they were moved by our sincerity and perseverance, and then they stopped talking. If the younger brother said this, would the older brother understand?"
"Could this be the legendary..."
Hong Xiaochen's eyes widened and his voice trembled slightly: "Sell, sell miserably?!"
"That's right! Brother is so understanding!"
Hei Muguang slapped his thigh suddenly, stretched out his fingers and said: "Think about it, after hearing our tragic experience and our strong backbone, would they be willing to scold us again? Not willing!
On the contrary, they will feel distressed, moved, and comfort us with gentle words!"
[Muguang, you don’t have to fight like this, I will feel bad!]
[Xiao Chen, you...husband, please lie down and rest while I cook you some hangover soup to warm your stomach...]
The imaginary scenes that pop up in the heads of the two people gradually become inappropriate for children, ahem...
"Haha, just do it!"
"The problem is solved, there is enough time!"
"Fuck!"*2
"Hahahahahaha!"*2
……………
"Strange..."
Hei Yang scratched his head and looked confused: "I seem to have heard the shadow say, dad scolded me for wearing big pants???"
"Well..."
Hei Yang shook his head, smiled, and swatted the shadow away: "Impossible, impossible, that's my biological father, how could he scold me, hahaha..."
"Xiaoyang? What are you mumbling?"
The old gentleman, who was much older than he remembered, was sitting in the imperial chair, looking at the most talented student he had ever taught with a puzzled look on his face.
"Could it be some of the words and phrases you young people use?"
"Ah, haha, teacher, no, it's nothing, I just suddenly thought of something, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, haha."
Hei Yang's forehead was sweating. He leaned against the cabinet and subconsciously stood up straight, changing the subject with a smile.
"It's you, I didn't expect you to still remember me after so many years of no contact, hahaha."
"Oh, if I say, the students I taught have never forgotten them..."
The old gentleman lifted the book, and his somewhat cloudy eyes under the glasses moved slightly to the right. He grinned with a few teeth, and said with a sly smile: "That's a lie. I have taught so many children, how could it be possible?"
Remember them all, hahaha!"
"But, those who study at the forefront and those who study at the bottom will always get into trouble..."
The old gentleman chuckled: "I remember it very clearly. What kind of person do you think you are?"
"That must be..."
Hei Yang confidently stretched out his thumb and smiled: "This!"
"Uh-huh, yes, you really left a deep impression on me at first, so much so that when I taught you later, I would often use you to attack them, hahaha!"
"Ah this..."
Hei Yang laughed twice, not knowing how to answer.
"Oh, you are so old, how can you still be shy?"
The old gentleman chuckled a few times. When he saw Hei Yang's appearance, he stopped teasing him and turned to look inside the bookstore.
The old man's Innocence Bookstore is very vast, and even if compared with the big bookstores in big cities, it is not much different in size.
There are many bookshelves with many styles of books, but the old man’s store is not just about the classics that he admires. Although those do account for a large part of them, the old man also has a great tolerance for other types of books.<
/p>
But don’t ask about two little people fighting. It’s insulting to be polite!
Hei Yang inquired and found out that the old man did not run the shop alone. He also had two sons and two daughters, plus a grandson and a granddaughter. They often came to the shop to help and take care of the elderly, so they were able to enjoy a peaceful family life.
"But I really didn't expect..."
The old gentleman looked in a certain direction in the store, as if he was looking through a corner covered by bookshelves to see another student of his.
Romance
He looked at Hei Yang with a smile: "But I didn't expect that you two would actually be together. The relationship between the dolls, ha, is a bit unexpected."
He still remembered that when Hongli was out of school, the little boy in front of him would lie on the wall and stare at her. He also knew that they had a good relationship.
However, at that time, these two children gave him the feeling that they were like brothers and sisters.
"Ahem, hahaha, um, friendship sometimes goes sour!"
Hei Yang's face turned red and he could only laugh sarcastically.
"Okay, okay, don't be nervous, this is a good thing."
The old gentleman waved his hand and said with a smile: "I just don't know if I will have a seat at the wedding?"
"If you have it, you must have it!"
Hei Yang nodded quickly and said: "If there are no seats by then, I will kill someone with whom I have no connections and make room for you!"
"Oh, it's still so inappropriate..."
The old gentleman laughed and cursed, thinking that the girl seemed to have the same temper back then, so he shook his head with a smile.
"No wonder you two...Ha, forget it, go see her, the old man is tired, take a nap, ha."
"Well..."
Seeing the old gentleman covering his face with a book, Hei Yang secretly wondered, does the teacher sleep like this when he is reading...
"Then, I'll go."
"..."
The old gentleman waved his hand.
"Well..."
Hei Yang stood up, stretched, and looked at Hong Li's position. His sight could really pass through the obstruction of the bookshelf.
"Let me go and see what book you girl is reading. Are you so fascinated by it..."
[Your contract object (red glass) is on fire, and the magical nirvana (purple) is transforming...]
