There used to be a custom in the countryside that when an old man celebrated his birthday, he would entertain all the relatives and friends in the village. Later, because this custom was too wasteful, it was gradually abandoned.
But this time all the brothers from the Liu family came back, just to make their mother happy, so why not throw a big banquet? It's just some food and drink, the scene is lively.
Three cars were parked in front of more than a dozen banquet tables, a large Toyota Land Cruiser Jeep, a second-hand Poussin, and a second-hand bread truck. This lineup was basically very rare in the countryside, so it was naturally a bonus for Grandma Liu’s family.
Saved a lot of face.
Gao Tianci came down from Lu Xun, and Wang Xueying came unexpectedly. She gave a birthday gift with a smile. This surprised Shen Dapeng. The gifts were three large and three small, and they were very exquisite. They didn't look like they were prepared temporarily?
But considering that she is her cousin's best friend, there is nothing wrong with preparing some gifts in advance.
However, after Wang Xueying personally delivered birthday gifts to her grandma, she sat next to Shen Dapeng with a calm expression, which was a bit intriguing and elusive.
"Come on, let's set off firecrackers, let's set off firecrackers..."
Accompanied by several reminders, the sound of firecrackers kept ringing, "It's time for dinner, brothers, sit down and eat, eat..."
The uncle and uncle had been taking care of relatives and friends who came to celebrate their birthdays. When they heard the sound of firecrackers, they looked at their watches and saw that before the auspicious time came, which child made trouble and lit the firecrackers?
But when they looked up, what they saw were a dozen topless gangsters with various tattoos exposed.
"Who are they?"
My uncle didn't know these people, but judging from their tanned appearance, they must be from the countryside, but he didn't know which village they were from.
"They are a group of gangsters from the countryside. They usually go around eating, drinking, and smoking. The canteens in nearby villages all have their credit accounts. You can see that they came here empty-handed. They are probably freeloaders."
A fellow villager kindly whispered a few words of warning. Judging from his careful appearance that he was afraid of being heard, he must be very afraid of those gangsters.
"Hey, there are still people who come to my place to eat and drink for free? They don't want to know what I did before."
My brother-in-law was not an honest person before. He was able to open a tobacco and alcohol business in the county because he had some social connections.
Especially now that I have some money, I don't think there is anything special about these little gangsters. When I think about my mother's birthday and someone actually comes to make trouble, I get very angry.
"Whose family do you belong to? If you want to eat, just be polite. Our family doesn't welcome anyone who eats for free."
Liu Hongbin directly put away the chopsticks on the table, pointing at the gangsters and giving them a very rude lesson.
"What's going on? You can't even have a meal? Can't you be happy? Do you have to make things bigger?"
The leading gangster stood up, and a dozen other gangsters also stood up and surrounded the uncle tightly. The leader sneered and said: "I might as well tell you that we are working for the boss of the county. Don't think that you are the county's boss."
inner?"
"Doing things for the boss in the county?"
The uncle couldn't help but laugh angrily: "Are you helping your boss eat and drink?"
"You are all from the county, have you heard of Sun Dabaozi? We help Brother Pao investigate the drinking water market in the countryside. I just want to see what kind of water your family uses for their meals!"
The chopsticks on the table were taken away by Liu Hongbin. The leading gangster directly grabbed a piece of chicken with his hands and chewed it very fragrantly. Seeing this, the other gangsters also started to take action. A table of good meals turned into hand-picked rice. Look.
It makes me feel sick to my stomach.
"Sun Dapaozi?"
The name sounded familiar to Liu Hongbin, but before he could react, a figure jumped out from beside him, slapped a dozen gangsters hard with his hand.
"What the hell, you guy..."
The leading gangster didn't expect that Liu's family would be beaten as soon as they asked. He was stunned. Just when he was about to order everyone to lift the table and cause trouble, he saw that the person who beat him looked familiar. He took another closer look and was immediately dumbfounded: "Pao, Brother Pao, you
...Why are you here?"
"Xiaozhou, I asked you to take people to the countryside to investigate the purified water market for me, and you went around using my reputation to cheat me out of food and drink? I'm not mean to you, but you actually ruined my reputation behind my back?"
Sun Dapaozi's anger could not be quelled, and he punched and kicked him again and again. He didn't give up until he kicked Liu Xiaozhou ten meters away and was panting from exhaustion.
"Wrong, wrong... Brother Pao, why don't we make a mistake? Stop fighting."
Liu Xiaozhou's attitude was quite good. He didn't resist at all and just admitted his mistake with his fists clasped.
Not long after, Sun Dapaozi hurried back with an embarrassed smile on his face: "Brother Peng, I'm sorry for causing you trouble on this special day. I will definitely punish myself with three glasses of wine when I toast our grandma later...
And my brother-in-law, he is a little brother of mine who is ignorant and made you unhappy. I’m sorry..."
"It's okay, it's okay. They are all brothers. If we don't fight, we can't make a deal. How about we call them back?"
My uncle used to be a member of society, and he has seen too many gangsters in society. As long as they are not the kind of people who hurt others by beating up the blind, scolding the deaf, or chasing the lame, he will not have much disgust. After all, the complexity of society is better than the human heart.
"Sun Dapaozi, just now your subordinates said they would help you with market research? Why don't I know what you want to investigate?"
Shen Dapeng was a little confused. It seemed that the factory had no plans to build towns. Could it be that my aunt had a plan and didn't tell him? But think about it, towns are also a good future market.
"They are not my subordinates, they were introduced by others. The factory plans to expand into the rural market, so I asked them to help with the investigation. Unexpectedly, they actually used my name to cheat me out of food and drinks."
Sun Dapaozi also had troubles that he couldn't tell. If these people were his subordinates, how could these bad things happen.
"However, it is difficult to promote rural water use, and transportation is not convenient. However, some people ask whether it is possible to install a well water filtering device at home?"
Sun Dapaozi just said casually that he was in the factory every day and knew that the price of water purification and filtration devices was too high and was not suitable for installation in private homes.
"Home water purification device?"
Shen Dapeng raised his eyebrows, thoughtfully.
After the indifferent farce ended, the uncle bought a few more 5,000-ring firecrackers, set them off at the right time, and the birthday party officially began amidst bursts of cheers.
Grandma sat firmly at the table with a kind smile on her face, accepting blessings from her sons and daughters. When the talented grandchildren arrived, Liu Yuwei took the lead and sang a song: "Penghu Bay, Penghu Bay, grandma's Penghu Bay..."
"This song is about Grandma's Penghu Bay. I should be the one to sing it, right? Why did you steal my song?"
Shen Dapeng scratched his head in confusion, but then he thought about it, and there seemed to be no songs about grandma. It was not off-topic that his cousin chose this song, but when it was his turn, what song should he sing?
