The time came unknowingly to the evening amidst the clinking of pots and pans from mom and grandma. The elders that dad notified on the phone also arrived one after another. It was the end of June and it was not the busy farming season, so everyone had null.

My uncle Chen Huosheng and his family came first, then my second uncle Chen Musheng and his family, my sister-in-law and her two uncles came together, and finally my aunt and her family came. The elders who arrived first greeted the old man, and then carefully inquired about Chen Zhe's body. They laughed with satisfaction when they learned that Chen Zhe was doing well. Old and young, the whole yard was filled with laughter and laughter.

The second uncle, the fourth uncle, his two uncles, and several brothers who were about the same age as Chen Zhe gathered around to comment on the SUV that Chen Zhe's family had just bought. Chen Shuisheng threw the key to the fourth uncle and the other two old men, who were addicted to it, and some of them had sex with Chen Zhe. Zhe's brother, who was about the same age, was squatting in the corner, smoking and chatting. Anyway, it was their turn to wait for the elders to finish enjoying themselves.

After a group of women's soldiers arrived, the food was arranged in order. The old man said he was eating, and they all sat down. Two large tables were filled with people! Fill up the wine, fill up the drinks!

The old man smacked his pipe and pot and said with a smile: "Today is the third child's treat. I won't say anything. Let the third child say a few words!"

After hearing this, Chen Shuisheng looked around, picked up his glass, stood up and said emotionally.

"For so many years, my brothers and sisters have contributed money and effort to Xiaozhe's illness. I know that none of you are rich, but when I asked for a loan, you didn't hesitate to take it. I, Chen Shuisheng, have cultivated blessings for several lifetimes. I have met you brothers and sisters. I will keep these in my heart, and today I will take our family of three with this glass of wine to thank you all." After Chen Shuisheng finished speaking, Lin Lan and Chen Zhe also stood up with wine glasses in their hands, saying Thank you everyone, the family of three drank it all in one go.

Fourth uncle Chen Huosheng and his gang even cheered loudly. Chen Shuisheng, who had finished a glass of wine, took Chen Zhe's backpack and said with a smile: "Your eldest nephew has made some money recently, and our family wants to put it together before eating." I’ll pay all the money I owe, so I can eat comfortably!”

Everyone looked at me and I looked at you, but it was difficult to speak. The second uncle and the eldest uncle said: "Third brother, you can keep it for now. Our family is not in a hurry. Xiaozhe just has it, and I will wait for you to have it." It’s not too late to be more generous!”

The fourth uncle smiled and said at this moment: "Don't insist on it. Second brother's Xiaojun is getting married at the end of this year, so he won't have to use money? And Xiaozhe, his uncle Lin Dong, will his daughter-in-law also get married early next year? Are you coming? Now that Third Brother has said this, he must be aware of it. Let’s just take it with peace of mind. If we keep complaining, we will get angry! Dad, are you right?” After saying this, he said to Chen Shuli .

The old man took a puff on his pipe and pot and said: "The fourth child is right. Since the third child has said so, you can just take it with peace of mind. The third child quickly divides the money. After the meal is finished, the children are all hungry." ?"

Now that the old man has spoken, no one has any opinions. Chen Shuisheng handed over thirty thousand and fifty thousand money to his brothers and sisters. His uncles, uncles, and uncles were all non-residents, so they took the money and handed it over to his wife without a care. Lin Lan then gave a thousand red envelopes to several children, big and small, including Chen Jun and Lin Dong, who were a few years older than Chen Zhe. In the past few years, the red envelopes given to Lin Lan and Chen Shuisheng every Chinese New Year were very small. Now I want to make up for it together.

The old man and the old lady happily looked at the pushing and shoving group of people and said: "Okay, okay, the old couple really owe the children a lot of red envelopes in the past few years. If they give them to you, just take them. Besides, give this to the children." It’s not for you, I’ve collected it all, it’s time to drink and drink, and it’s time to eat and drink.”

After listening to the old man's words, the group of people finished pushing each other and sat down again to start eating.

Several uncles and uncles had good drinkers, and together with his father Chen Shuisheng and the old man, it was quite lively when you came and went. Chen Zhe was busy picking up vegetables and eating, and he even cheered loudly when he met an elder who drank all his wine in one gulp. The uncles and uncles had several rounds of food but not much wine. Chen Zhe went to bring in another box of wine and opened two bottles with a proud and arrogant smile. "Second uncle, third uncle, eldest uncle, second uncle, aunts and uncles, and junior Chen Zhe are here to propose a toast!"

"Little bastard, did you pick something up?" Several people laughed.

"Don't worry about whether I missed something or not. It took a lot of effort to get you guys together, but there is no such store after passing this village. I can't let go of this opportunity." Chen Zhe said proudly.

Then Chen Zhe fought for a few rounds and felt that he was careless with his pills. These elders were really powerful. Stealing the chicken will lose the rice. This is,

Chen Zhe called for help urgently, turned around and called Chen Jun, Lin Dong, several brothers and brothers to come to the rescue, and escaped by himself. . . . After a while, I came back and leaned against the door frame, watching and drinking.

The noisy meal ended at almost nine o'clock. A few men who were a little drunk were smoking and chatting in the yard. The women's soldiers cleaned up the room and washed the dishes. After they finished their work, they stayed for a while before getting ready. Before leaving, Chen Shuisheng and his family gave the gifts of tobacco and alcohol to each family, and then they said hello to the old man and left.

Chen Shuisheng also drank too much, and after seeing off several family members, he washed up and went back to the house to sleep. Lin Lan was chatting with the old lady in the house. The old man was still lying in the rocking chair in the yard with his eyes closed and meditating as usual. There was a pot of tea beside him, smoking a pipe and pot, and bursts of smoke came out of the old man's mouth. It slowly floated up against the backdrop of the lights, and then slowly dissipated into the night sky.

Chen Zhe thought this scene was very artistic, so he pulled up a chair and sat next to the old man.

The old man closed his eyes and said to Chen Zhe: "How is it? Can you still pull it?"

Chen Zhe nodded, "I can pull it!"

"Your erhu is still in my room, bring it over and try it." The old man waved to him.

"Okay." Chen Zhe agreed and went to the old man's room to take out the erhu.

The old man has been doing nothing for decades. His craftsmanship is famous all over the country, and he is very good at various folk musical instruments. Before his death, many old people pointed out that the old man must be responsible for their posthumous affairs. The old man had a hard life. When he was young, the empire had just stabilized and everyone was poor. The old man could only make ends meet with his family by relying on this craft. Later, when the children grew up, the old man only did idle things as a hobby.

Many people know that the old man is proficient in various musical instruments, but few people know that the old man is best at the erhu, because he rarely plays the erhu in his spare time.

The old man often said that life is already very difficult in this world. Wouldn’t it make it even more difficult to listen to me play the erhu before I leave? Not suitable.
