"Full Moon Wine? Invite me?" Shao Yun went for a moment, then shook his head and said, "Uncle Zheng, you are too polite, but this seems a bit inappropriate."

Zheng Wenhui said indifferently: "What's not suitable, although you are not from our Shanxia Village, you will be our guest when you arrive in our village. On such a beautiful day, please come and add joy to the guests. It is our old man from Beizhen. Tradition."

Shao Yun still shook his head: "Forget it, I have already bought the train ticket for the night and plan to go home."

"What's the matter?" Zheng Wenhui was anxious, and said directly: "For dinner at noon, you must have time to get to Tuxian Railway Station from here for your evening train. If it doesn't work, I'll drive you there."

"But..." Shao Yun went hesitant.

Zheng Wenhui immediately sped up his speech: "It's just to join in the fun, and you don't need to pay any money, so it's settled!"

After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked out, as if he was afraid that Shao Yun would regret it if he went.

Shao Yun looked at his back and raised his eyebrows.

OK!He would like to see what other tricks these people can play.

When it was almost noon, Zheng Wenhui knocked on the door of Shao Yun's room.

Zheng Wenhui’s younger brother, Zheng Junsheng, is serving the full moon wine for his son today. Zheng Junsheng’s house is more than half a village away from Zheng Wenhui’s.The yard of Zheng Junsheng’s house covers a large area, and looks not much different from Zheng Wenhui’s house. It looks like it’s newly built, but once you step into the yard, the difference is obvious.

Inferior floor tiles, rough sofas and coffee tables... just these can show the gap between the two brothers of the Zheng family.

Seeing that Zheng Wenhui brought Shao Yun in, a trace of satisfaction flashed in Zheng Haoli's eyes.But looking at the chaotic crowd around him, he couldn't help scolding: "I know that today is your little nephew's full moon wine, and there are many guests at home, so I don't know how to come to help earlier."

"Hmm." Zheng Wenhui's face suddenly darkened.

"Good day, you show your face to someone, you are old and young, Dong Manniang and Dong Manniang have been gone for almost a year, you should find another one. Do you really want to be a widower for the rest of your life, without children? Yes, let me see what you will do in the future?" Zheng Haoli pointed at Zheng Wenhui's face and cursed.

Zheng Junsheng, who was waiting for guests next to him, heard this, and a sneer flashed in his eyes. He walked over in two or three steps, and said to Zheng Haoli with a smile: "Dad, what are you talking about on such a good day? It's not like you don't know The ten-year relationship between elder brother and sister-in-law can't be let go, elder brother is affectionate and righteous. So if this matter is not urgent, don't scold elder brother. Besides, even if elder brother really misses sister-in-law no longer I'm married, so I have my son here anyway, so it's right to honor his uncle."

As soon as these words caught their ears, the surrounding guests looked at their noses, noses and mouths, and stopped talking.

However, Zheng Haoli seemed to have suddenly realized it. He touched the cigarette stick in his hand and looked at Zheng Wenhui, who had his head down and was embarrassed. He had always disliked such a dull eldest son.

He waved impatiently: "Okay, don't stick around here, go help your brother."

"Hey." Zheng Wenhui went to entertain the guests while pondering what Zheng Junsheng said just now.

The yard became lively again, Zheng Haoli was busy chatting with the old men on the sofa, Zheng Wenhui, who brought him here, was very preoccupied, obviously he couldn't take care of him.He raised his eyebrows. Anyway, he didn't know anyone around, so he simply found a corner with few people to stay.

Shanxia Village is not that big, with only forty or so families.Soon it will be the season of digging ginseng in the mountains, and the full moon wine from Zheng Junsheng's family is coming at just the right time. For the sake of happiness, people who rely on luck to eat will naturally not miss this wedding banquet.As a result, more than [-] people from the whole village came in one after another, and the yard soon became lively.

Shao Yun quickly gathered a group of old ladies around him, and they lowered their voices, discussing exactly what Zheng Junsheng said just now.

"I see that the second son of the Zheng family is really shameless. What does it mean to have his son anyway? I think he wishes that Boss Zheng would never get married for the rest of his life, and he would be happy if he didn't have a son to inherit the family property."

"No, from what he said just now, maybe he is waiting for Boss Zheng to die, so that his son will throw a bowl at Boss Zheng, and take over Boss Zheng's property in an open and honest manner!"

"It must be true, but I see the village chief's appearance just now, do you think he will be moved by Zheng's second and want to do this?"

"Probably not, how can you say that Boss Zheng is also his own son, he can't just watch Boss Zheng cut off his children and grandchildren, right?"

"Hey, why not! Over the past few decades, has Mr. Zheng favored Mr. Zheng less often? If you don't believe me, just watch! And Mr. Zheng is an idiot. His wife Dong Man died. If someone mentions him, he will surely be coaxed by Old Man Zheng and Older Zheng."

These two, three, four, five aunts are more expressive than the last.

Shao Yun touched his chin, as if it was very interesting.

He hugged the orange cat and leaned forward: "Auntie, what is going on with the Zheng family?"

The aunts turned their heads in unison, frowning at Shao Yunqu's unfamiliar face, they said, "Which family are you from? Why haven't I seen you before?"

Shao Yun said calmly: "I came to Changbai Mountain for tourism, passed by here, and now I live at Uncle Zheng Wenhui's house."

"That's it." When she heard that Shao Yun was a foreigner, the aunt immediately became excited: "No wonder you don't know."

With an enthusiastic face, she pointed to Zheng Haoli on the sofa, "See him? His name is Zheng Haoli. His family has two sons, the eldest Zheng Wenhui and the second Zheng Junsheng. The eldest Zheng Wenhui was born to his first wife, but she is a Fate is unlucky, when Zheng Wenhui was two years old, there happened to be a drought, and the wolves on the mountain went down to look for food, and she was taken away."

"Not long after she died, Chen Shensuan from the next village came here with her adopted daughter Liu Fang. Chen Shensuan married Liu Fang to old man Zheng in order to gain a firm foothold here. At first, Liu Fang treated Zheng Wenhui well. , took care of everything properly. But within two years, Liu Fang gave birth to Zheng Junsheng."

"This kind of heart is selfish. Liu Fang has her own son, so she doesn't care about her stepson. Not to mention that with a stepmother, she will have a stepfather. Once Zheng Wenhui had a fever, which lasted for two days. The couple Fortunately, they didn’t find out. They didn’t know until he passed out at the entrance of the village and was sent to the village health center. After Zheng Wenhui’s fever finally subsided, his brain was already burnt out..."

"It can't be said that it was burnt out. It's just that in the first few years, I couldn't speak well and my brain didn't work well. Now I don't stutter when I speak. I guess my brain hasn't recovered yet. Otherwise, Old Man Zheng treated him so well, and he still devoted himself to respecting him. Old man Chen?"

"Then we will talk about Dong Man, Zheng Wenhui's daughter-in-law. Dong Man's father and Zheng Haoli were ginseng diggers in the same group. Once they met Xiong Blind, Dong Man's father lost two legs in order to save Zheng Haoli. To repay this kindness, I made a baby marriage to Dong Man and Zheng Junsheng, the only daughter of the old man. The old man lost two legs and his body collapsed. "

"As soon as old man Dong died, Zheng Junsheng became a demon. He disliked Dong's family for being poor, and refused to marry Dong Man as his wife. Zheng Haoli was lucky, but when Liu Fang's pillow blown him, he directly put Dong Man in a bad way. The lost Zheng Wenhui kicked the couple out with 500 yuan, and this old man Dong probably didn't realize that he saved a white-eyed wolf."

"It's also fortunate that Zheng Wenhui's brain is broken. He was treated like this without making a fuss. Instead, he led Dong Man to live an honest life. But Zheng Wenhui is also a bold person. He dared to drill into the deep mountains and old forests. That’s right, they made a fortune within a few years and became one of the best in the village.”

"Let's talk about Zheng Junsheng. With the help of Zheng Haoli, he married the daughter of the head of the village next door as his wife. But since he was a child, he was a lazy person. How could he do hard work like entering the mountains? Zheng Haoli was in the early years I can subsidize him a little bit with the money from my own house, but sometimes when he is too old to enter the mountains, when the money in his hands runs out, he will find Zheng Wenhui again under Liu Fang's instigation."

"No, see if this yard is there. Zheng Haoli forced Zheng Wenhui to pay for Zheng's second son to repair it. Thanks to Dong Man's stubbornness, he only promised to pay for the repair of the house, and did not care about the decoration. Over the past ten years, Zheng Haoli used the excuse of retirement from Zheng Wenhui. The money taken away ranged from 60 to [-], and most of the money was subsidized by him to Zheng Junsheng."

"God is not open, Zheng Junsheng was married for more than ten years and failed to produce a man and a woman. He thought he would be like this in his life. Unexpectedly, he gave birth to a son suddenly. On the contrary, Zheng Wenhui, who is honest and honest, The son drowned, and Dong Man went to rescue him, but his wife and children were gone."

"Ten years?" Shao Yun frowned: "How old is Zheng Wenhui this year?"

The aunt said casually: "35 six."

Shao Yun raised his eyebrows, looked not far away at Zheng Wenhui, who looked to be in his fifties with half-white hair, and asked hesitantly, "What about the village chief?"

"He is two years younger than me, 53."

Shao Yun went to see the gray-haired Zheng Haoli, and stopped talking.

But the aunt seemed to have suddenly realized, "You mean to say that Old Man Zheng and the others look very old."

Shao Yun went to hear the words and nodded.

The aunt let out a long sigh: "Don't talk about it, the Fangshan people have suffered too much, and most of them have short lives, so there is no way."

Shao Yun stopped touching Mao's hand and didn't answer.

At this time, there was a sudden sound of firecrackers at the door, Zheng Haoli quickly stood up, and took the two brothers out to greet him.

After a while, I saw Zheng Haoli helping an old blind man come in, followed by a bald old man.

Zheng Haoli's face was almost full of smiles. On the left was an old father-in-law and another in-law.

Shao Yun went to rub his fingers, looked at the dense transparent threads on the old blind man's legs, and suddenly felt that this mountain village was getting more and more interesting.
