Grandpa

After a while, the gong in front of the hall rang, and the two old men sat on the seats in the middle of the yard with a thick stack of red paper and brushes. He took out the money he had prepared a long time ago and handed it over.

Although Zheng Wenhui specifically said he didn't need Shao Yun to give the red envelope when he came, he didn't mean to take it for nothing, since he wasn't short of the money anyway.Shao Yun went to glance at the side, and most of the villagers gave gifts of [-] to [-].According to the established rules in the past, he, an outsider, only needs to compromise on this basis and give him two hundred yuan.

One of the two old men inspected the banknotes to collect the money, and the other wrote the names, surnames, and number of people accompanying the gift on the gift list. The speed was not slow, and it was finished in about ten minutes. The side will arrange the seats for the later meal according to the information on the gift list.

As soon as twelve o'clock arrived, several young lads carried two poles of firecrackers out of the courtyard gate.A few minutes later, amidst the sound of crackling firecrackers, a burst of pungent white gunpowder smoke was blown into the yard along the breeze.

The drowsy orange cat lying in Shao Yunqu's arms suddenly opened its eyes, raised its head, and shook its nose. In addition to the smell of gunpowder smoke, there was an inaudible rancid smell in the air.

It raised its left paw and pawed Shao Yunqu's chest: "Meow—"

Something got in meow.

Shao Yun turned his gaze to the second floor, thoughtfully, and held onto the orange cat's pad: "Got it, don't worry, isn't there still a God Chen sitting here?"

"Meow."

good cutting.

Now that Shao Yun has said so, the orange cat shook its ears, pulled its paws back, yawned, found a comfortable position in Shao Yun's arms, lay down and continued to doze.

Before the banquet started, a young man hurried up to Zheng Haoli who was inviting relatives and friends to sit down and whispered something in Zheng Haoli's ear. The smile on Zheng Haoli's face was even bigger, and he greeted the old man with white beard beside him: "Eat first, I'll go out a little while."

"Okay." The old man with white beard naturally agreed.

He went straight out of the courtyard and returned to his own home without stopping.

As soon as he entered the door, he saw Wang Laosan with a gloomy face.

"Brother Wang, you..." Did you send someone over for us?

Seeing that Wang Laosan was empty-handed, Zheng Haoli forced him back with the second half of his sentence.

Seeing Zheng Haoli, Wang Laosan immediately stood up, his face changed several times, and finally he slammed his fist on the table, sat back down again, and let out a long sigh.

Zheng Haoli frowned: "Brother Wang, what happened to you?"

Wang Laosan took out a pack of crumpled cigarettes from his trouser pocket, took out one and lit it, and while puffing, he said in a deep voice: "I called you before, but there is one thing I didn't tell you, my wife Got caught."

"What?" Zheng Haoli's complexion changed, and his voice was unavoidably sharp.

"I thought she wouldn't confess me. Even if she would, she would at least give me a few days to escape," he sneered. I quickly stole a motorcycle from the side of the road and came back, I don’t know where I’m hiding in right now!”

Zheng Haoli was not worried about what happened to Wang Laosan at all, he was only worried about whether he would be involved in Wangjia Village because of him. After all, after Wang Laosan took over from his father, together with Shanxia Village, the four nearby villages took turns to offer sacrifices. They bought it from Wang Laosan. If it gets out, it will be considered irresponsible. No matter what happens to these village officials, they will inevitably go to prison for more than ten years.

So he looked anxious and flustered.

Wang Laosan didn't know what Zheng Haoli was thinking, and before Zheng Haoli could speak, he said, "Cun Zhang, don't worry, all the time, after arriving in Tu County, I have completed the transactions by myself. They were all tight-lipped and never told my wife. Even if she confessed to Tu County, don’t forget about a dozen nearby towns, even if you really found out about your villages, you would just throw people into the river , the police ran here and couldn’t even find a hair, so don’t be afraid.”

Hearing what he said, Zheng Haoli immediately felt relieved.

Then I saw Wang Laosan's grimace, gritted his teeth and said, "Don't let me see that little bastard who ruined my good deeds again, or I will have to skin him and constrict his tendons."

Zheng Haoli frowned: "Then brother Wang is coming here today?"

Wang Laosan sighed: "Aren't I wanted? I have nowhere to go. It will take a few days before I can get the new ID card I got online. I want to avoid it in your village for a few days first." When he said this, his tone was a little hasty: "Cun Zhang, don't worry, although the one you ordered is gone, I, Wang Laosan, am sorry for you. I contacted a few old friends, and there is a hand There just happened to be one in stock."

"It's just a second-hand one. After her current man bought her, she hasn't given birth to a child for several years. Her man wants to sell her for a sum of money to buy a new one. If you are willing, I will call him now. Call, and the day after tomorrow at the latest, her man will deliver it to you in person to ensure safety."

Zheng Haoli waved his hand, even if Wang Laosan didn't say so, he would definitely take him in. After all, although Wang Laosan is wanted now, whether he can continue to work in this business is still a matter of opinion.But who told them to only know Wang Laosan, a human trafficker.In case Wang Laosan quits, they have to rely on Wang Laosan to find a new partner.

Besides, their Shanxia Village and the Wang family have been friends for more than [-] years. Now that they are in trouble, they have to help them no matter what.

The most important thing is that even if the police really come after them, the villagers in Shanxia Village are very familiar with the nearby deep mountains and old forests. As long as they lead people to the mountains, the police will have nothing to do if they don't tell them.

So he said: "Just stay with us. You said there is no rush. We have found a substitute sacrifice. If we get it, we don't need it. If it doesn't work, we will trouble your friend when the time comes."

"Success." Wang Laosan naturally agreed, since he came, he was sure that Zheng Haoli would not refuse.

"That's fine." After saying that, Zheng Haoli stood up: "It just so happens that today is my grandson's full moon wine. Since you are here, let's drink two glasses together, just to get rid of the bad luck."

"Okay." Wang Laosan followed suit and stood up.

In the yard of Zheng Junsheng’s house, there were thirty tables for the banquet. As soon as the food and wine were served, the yard became more lively, people chatting, persuading people to drink, and bragging... The orange cat raised its front paws and scratched its head. Getting out of Shao Yun's arms, he couldn't sleep anymore.

Shao Yun went to sit at the same table with the aunts just now. The banquet was quite sumptuous, following the tradition of seven bowls and six plates. The table was almost full of meat dishes, and there was a stewed chicken with ginseng in the middle.

Three-year-old ginseng barely has medicinal value, but probably every household in the village grows ginseng and collects ginseng, because this dish is the hardest dish in Shao Yunqu's eyes, and it is far inferior to braised pork in the eyes of a dry mother attractive.

Since no one else touched this dish, Shao Yun simply put the two big chicken legs into his own bowl, one for the orange cat and one for himself.

At this time, Zheng Haoli walked in with Wang Laosan, and the two went straight to the main seat. After drinking two glasses of wine, Zheng Haoli put a chopstick in his mouth and said to Zheng Junsheng next to him: " Now that the banquet is over, go, let your wife come down with the child, and let everyone see you."

"it is good."

Before the words fell, a sharp scream suddenly came from the second floor: "Ah——"

"What's the matter?" The guests present trembled in their hearts, and they all looked towards the source of the sound, and the lively scene just now became quiet in an instant.

Fortunately, the exclamation was fleeting, and Zheng Junsheng stood up from his seat with a swipe, "I'll go and have a look."

After speaking, he ran upstairs.

The guests around suddenly lost their appetite, stopped their chopsticks one after another, and whispered to each other, never leaving their eyes from the main table.

After a while, Zheng Junsheng walked down impatiently, followed by his wife Li Yunli. She had a pale face and trembling legs.

"What's wrong?" Zheng Haoli frowned.

Zheng Junsheng put on a smiling face: "It's nothing, it's just that Yun Li's eyes were blurred, and she thought she saw something bad, so she was frightened by herself."

Li Yunli trembled, her eyes were full of fear, and she kept recalling the scene just now in her mind.

When the firecrackers sounded, she had just finished feeding the baby.Suddenly her stomach started to grow up, she put the child on the bed and ran to the bathroom.

When she came out of the bathroom, she thought that the banquet downstairs had already started, and she was about to take the child down.Unexpectedly, as soon as he picked the child up from the bed, the child's face suddenly distorted, and it became the appearance of Zheng Zhao, Zheng Wenhui's son who had drowned in the river. He waved his hands and called her with a smile: "Auntie."

She screamed and threw the child out of her hand. The child didn't land on the ground, but turned around and floated in mid-air.He turned around and turned into the appearance of Zheng Wenhui's wife Dong Man again. She had a gloomy expression and said word by word: "Sister and sister, congratulations."

Her scalp was numb, and her throat seemed to be stuck by something. She watched it pushing towards her step by step, but she couldn't speak.

At this moment, there was a sound of footsteps, and Zheng Junsheng pushed the door open and entered.

The space was distorted for a while, and when I looked again, there was no Zheng Zhao, nor Dong Man, and the child lay quietly on the bed, as if nothing had happened.

She grabbed Zheng Junsheng's hand and hysterically told what happened just now.Zheng Junsheng was impatient, since Dong Man's mother and son died, Li Yunli would dream of them every now and then.But Zheng Junsheng has never encountered such a thing, how can he believe it.He only wonders if Li Yunli is crazy...

However, Li Yunli felt that when she dreamed about Dong Man before, it was because she was guilty, thinking about it day by day and dreaming about it at night.But this time, it must be true. The scene is so real that only those who have experienced it can appreciate the horror.

Liu Fang, who was sitting at the other table, saw Li Yunli's appearance, and immediately felt displeased. She stood up and said, "Come and hug me, baby."

Hearing her mother-in-law speak, Li Yunli couldn't wait to stuff the child to her.

Liu Fang hugged the child, and seeing her little grandson's big black eyes looking around, her heart almost melted.

This is the grandson she has been looking forward to for more than ten years, dear.

Zheng Haoli stood up cheerfully, took out a red envelope from his pocket, hung it around the child's neck, and said, "This is my only grandson, but I don't have much money around me, so I'll give you [-]." It makes sense."

The guests applauded one after another. It is not a lot in Shanxia Village to give 5 yuan to the grandson of the full moon wine as a grandfather.

Then came Zheng Wenhui, the uncle.

Under everyone's gaze, Zheng Wenhui also took out a red envelope and hung it up, and the crowd booed immediately: "Zheng Wenhui, the village chief gave you [-], and you, as an uncle, should give you at least [-]."

Zheng Wenhui scratched his head and smiled calmly: "I gave one hundred thousand."

"Hey——" The crowd suddenly burst into an uproar. After all, they have also been uncles. Usually, giving [-] million yuan to their nephews and nieces for the full moon wine is already a great way to save face. It's no wonder they were so surprised by such a big deal like Zheng Wenhui. up.

Then I heard Zheng Wenhui continue to say: "Not much, not much, maybe I will have to rely on Xiaobao for the elderly in the future!"

"Er—" The eyes of the villagers of Yiganshanxia Village looked at Zheng Wenhui suddenly changed, and they were indeed fools.At the same time, he thought, how come there is no idiot brother like Zheng Wenhui in his family.

Even if he was overwhelmed by his son in terms of gift money, Zheng Haoli didn't feel ashamed or angry at all. On the contrary, when he heard Zheng Wenhui's last words, he smiled happily, and the wrinkles on his face bloomed.

Then there was the pro-grandfather of the head of the village next door, who happily paid 1 yuan.

In the end, it was the grandpa Chen Shensuan, and Liu Fang carried the child over.

"Okay, okay." Chen Shensuan said happily while reaching out to touch the child's face.

The next moment, Chen Shensuan's face changed drastically. He picked up the child in Liu Fang's hand, threw it out, and pulled out the long knife in the crutch with a swipe. -"
