Grandpa is here!
Chapter 59
Jiang Baifan stretched out his index finger and placed it on Pei Minbo's lips.
"and many more……"
"What's the matter?" Pei Min put one hand on his waist, and stretched out the other hand on the tree trunk behind him, tilting his head and asking with some doubts.
"It's you who charge interest every time, I feel like I'm at a loss!"
"so?"
"So this time I also want to charge some interest." Jiang Baifan pushed him away, and the two changed positions.
Jiang Baifan turned around and pinned Pei Min on the tree trunk, and gave him a tree dong.
Jiang Baifan looked up at Pei Min, raised his eyebrows quite complacently, and a smile that couldn't be hidden poured out of his eyes.
He tried to kiss him, but he was not tall enough. Jiang Baifan was stunned for a moment, and had to reach out and pinch Pei Min's face, and said with a dry smile, "Well... lower your head, I can't reach it."
Pei Min didn't move, she squinted her eyes and looked at him with a half-smile.
Jiang Baifan glared at him, then simply grabbed his shoulder and tiptoed to kiss him.
The gentle kisses are overwhelming, and the smell of the earth and grass in the mountains is accompanied by the ambiguous smell of the two, brewing fine wine in summer, making people indulge in it physically and mentally.
Dandelions dance with the wind on the hillside, and patches of dogtail grass are blown like green waves by the wind.
Everything is beautiful and tender.
"Yaoer, you... what are you doing?"
A familiar and irritable voice rang in the ears of the two, waking up the lovers who were kissing.
Jiang Baifan's hair stood on end when he heard the voice, and he had a bad feeling. Sure enough, he let go of Pei Min and looked sideways.
His second uncle, who has always been famous for being strict, was standing beside him with a cane and a dark face. The gloomy expression on his face seemed to drip water.
Jiang Baifan froze for a moment, his mind was overwhelmed, and various unknown emotions surfaced. His second uncle is a traditional old man, and he absolutely cannot accept this kind of thing.
Fear, nervousness, and all kinds of negative fears surged up on the way down the mountain, but after the extreme fear, it calmed down.
Twenty minutes later, he and Pei Min stood in the Jiang family's ancestral hall, looking at the big brothers with stern faces and angry faces, but their hearts were as calm as water.
Things have come to this, what should be confessed is still to be confessed, and you can't sneak around for a lifetime.
In a few words, the second uncle told a few old people what happened just now.
After listening to it, everyone's faces were not very good-looking. Apart from shock and bewilderment, what they looked at Jiang Baifan was more hatred.
Jiang Baifan rubbed his face. He knew that this matter was very difficult, and it was difficult to get to the sky, but as long as he could convince the second uncle, then the rest of the big brothers would be fine.
The second uncle is his stumbling block, but they are their backbone.
As long as the second uncle agrees, then everything is easy to talk about.
Just as Jiang Baifan was about to say something, Pei Min spoke first: "Second Uncle, I like Fanfan, and I want to be with him."
Jiang Baifan was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Pei Min. Pei Min didn't look like he wanted to back down, but his expression was extremely firm. He grabbed his hand and looked directly at the stern Erbo, who was as hawkish as a falcon, without any guilt. Eye.
Jiang Baifan was determined, swallowed, moistened his throat: "Second Uncle, I like it too..."
"Shut up." The second uncle glanced at Jiang Baifan, blocked his words without any shame, then looked at Pei Min, and said coldly: "The visitor is a guest, you come to our village, we will entertain you to our heart's content , but I don’t know that you have such dirty thoughts, you go, we don’t welcome you here.”
"Second Uncle..."
"Presumptuous, who told you to call me the second uncle?" The second uncle snorted coldly, grasping the knuckles on the crutches hard, and every one of them burst out with blue veins, as if he was not holding a cane, but the one he held when he was young Gun, "I'm almost old enough to be your father's grandfather. What right do you have to call me second uncle?"
He paused, glanced at Pei Min, and said in a cold voice, "Just call me grandpa like a common junior."
Pei Min was stunned for a moment, lowered his eyes and called out "Grandfather" in a low voice, and then continued: "I like Fanfan, I want to be with him, I am sincere, please give me a chance."
"How much is the truth worth?" The second uncle's tone became more and more cold.He didn't stop, speaking word by word, as if he was giving an order, as if there was no tone of discussion.
"I'll tell you what's next, you listen."
"It's understandable for a child to do something unexpected in a moment of curiosity. I can pretend that I didn't see what happened just now. But you pack up your things and leave the village immediately, and you will never be allowed to set foot in this village again."
After the second uncle finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Jiang Baifan, and continued to Pei Min: "I will handle the withdrawal procedures for him next semester. If you don't want to harm my family, don't contact him in the future."
"Master, if you give me a chance, I will definitely..."
"Don't talk about it." The second uncle's indifferent face showed a trace of irritability, he directly interrupted his words, and said firmly: "I don't agree."
Pei Min opened his mouth and was about to speak, but the second uncle looked at him coldly, "You are Yao'er's friend, I don't want to say too many bad words, to save everyone's face. You have two options now, you can clean it up yourself. Go out, or I will break your legs and throw you out."
"If I don't go out." Pei Min held Jiang Baifan's hand, straightened his back: "You can't be so bossy, this is a matter between Fanfan and me, you should respect the opinions of the parties involved."
"No, it's not his business. As long as his surname is Jiang, as long as he stands on this site, that's my business."
The second uncle's crutches hit the bluestone floor heavily, and there was a heavy echo from the ancestral hall, which weighed heavily on the heart and made people breathless.
"It's not up to you whether you can get out or not. Now there are only two paths in front of you. Go out completely by yourself or with a broken leg or an arm?"
The threatening meaning in the words of the second uncle is naked/naked in front of him, "Don't doubt what I said, there are thieves who steal chickens or dogs here, and there are not a few who are caught and beaten to death with sticks. Do you want to try it?"
Pei Min was still indifferent, staring at the second uncle without fear, but Jiang Baifan could feel a cold sweat.
The second uncle never speaks one word, in the village he is what he says, when he is angry, no one else dares to breathe, but now he is obviously in a fit of anger, and he can't let it out for a while, no one will argue with him Who will suffer.
The point is that the threatening words that the second uncle said were not fake.
With a pale face, Jiang Baifan tugged Pei Min's sleeve carefully, and said in a low voice, "Don't talk, you listen to the second uncle and go out first, and I will tell him when he calms down."
Pei Min shook his head, he was already prepared, he knew it would be a tough battle.
"Listen to me, I have a solution. The second uncle loves me the most. Now I just can't accept it. I will grind him after a long time, and he will definitely agree." Jiang Baifan said: "You are fighting with him now. Up, I'm going to have a hard time in the middle."
He patted his chest and vowed: "You believe in me, I will definitely handle it well."
This matter cannot be done overnight, and the best way is to take it slowly.
Pei Min also knew that he knew better than anyone else that he would not give up, but at this moment he had to take a step back.
He didn't need to pack his things, his luggage had already been packed by Jiang Baifan's fifth brother and thrown out. He stood at the entrance of the village and could not enter again. A few ferocious dogs were tied at the entrance, staring at him with snarls. .
Pei Min stood on the spot silently looking in the direction of the ancestral hall, and sighed heavily. Things were more difficult than he imagined.
Where is the difficulty?
The difficulty is that there is no solution at all.
Only through communication can there be a solution, but so far, he has been completely unable to intervene.
In the eyes of the older generation, same-sex love is probably really outrageous, unforgivable, and there is no chance of turning things around.
Pei Min scratched his head in distress, not knowing what to do for a while.
Just stand here and wait for Jiang Baifan to solve it?Can not be done!How could he be allowed to fight alone!
He has to work hard himself, he has to go back to his hometown and gamble his entire wealth and life.
If he wins the bet, he can spend his whole life with the one he loves.If you lose the bet, you will be alone.
This is a battle that cannot be lost.
Pei Min walked out, and looked back at the village shrouded in the mountains on the way, with only firmness in his eyes.
Wait for me.
The location is the Jiang Family Ancestral Hall, which is usually quiet with blue bricks and black tiles, but now it seems to be scorched by the scorching sun. Everyone standing here is a little irritable, even the Xia Chan hanging on the tree is noisy Some people feel dizzy and ears are full of hearing, there is nowhere to vent their anger, and there is nowhere to vent their anger.
Jiang Baifan knelt in the ancestral hall, enduring the elders who were even more troublesome than Xia Chan.
One by one, the older brothers blew their beards and stared at him, questioned and reprimanded him, and began to persuade him after scolding.
They tried to understand it with emotion and reason, pinching their fingers to tell the disadvantages of homosexuality one by one, no matter whether there are such disadvantages or not, they can't wait to put all of them on it, they almost didn't say that homosexuality is heinous something happened.
Jiang Baifan lowered his eyes, looked at his nose and heart, and did not refute them, but his appearance clearly disagreed.
The big brothers were all slobbering, and Jiang Baifan remained indifferent. He knelt there, expressionless, calm, like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.
Seventh Brother stood in front of him, hating iron for being weak and said: "Yaoer, have you listened?"
"Listen."
"If you listen to it, don't contact him again."
"I just said that I listened to it, but it doesn't mean I agree with your point of view."
"You, you, you..." Seventh brother almost vomited blood from his anger, but he was helpless, because Jiang Baifan was raised by him, and his personality has been like this since he was a child.
The appearance is as weak as rush grass, but the heart is as firm as a rock. No one can change the things he decides.
When he was in school, he made a bet with someone that he would be the first in the exam. He didn't pay much attention to his studies, so he climbed from the bottom to the top, and then climbed from the top to the first.
He rarely fights for something, but if he does, he will definitely do it.
He wants to be with Pei Min now, so no one can persuade him, no matter the future, at least this moment is unwavering.
Brother Qi knew it very well, and so did the other big brothers, because they took turns raising this child, and no one knew him better than them.
Seventh Brother sighed, and continued to persuade: "Yao'er, is it good to be obedient this time? There are so many people in the world, why do you have to like him?"
Jiang Baifan said seriously: "There are so many people in the world, but I only like him."
"You, you... I'm so mad." Seventh Brother walked away in a rage.
When the second uncle saw the scene where he didn't get in, he threw up his sleeves angrily and said, "Stop talking, go out. Don't persuade him, and don't worry about him. This time, no one is allowed to secretly protect him. The ancestral hall is kneeling, and if you don’t want to get through, you are not allowed to come out.”
Everyone left, only the kneeling Jiang Baifan and the angry second uncle remained.
"Just kneel here and reflect on yourself."
Jiang Baifan curled his lips, unwilling to say: "What are you reflecting on? I didn't do anything wrong."
"You haven't realized your mistake yet?" The second uncle was furious, picked up his crutches and hit him twice on the back.
Jiang Baifan didn't hide, just knelt there and received his two crutches. The solid dragon-headed crutch hit his back, making a heavy muffled sound. He didn't wear many clothes in summer, and the two sticks hit his flesh. The flesh under the thin layer of clothing should have turned green.
The second uncle had never hit him before. No matter how big a mistake he made, he had never hit him before. This was the first time.
Unbearable and distressed in Erbo's eyes, but the anger was still there, he asked back, "Do you know where I went wrong?"
"I don't know." Jiang Baifan gritted his teeth and shook his head.
"You don't know yet?" The second uncle raised his crutch again, cursing, "I'll kill you, an unfilial son."
Jiang Baifan didn't even blink his eyes, "You hit me, you'll kill me."
"You..." The second uncle was so angry that his hands were shaking, and the crutch in his hand did not drop for a long time.
Seeing that there was no movement behind him, Jiang Baifan turned his head hesitantly and saw the old man's trembling hands and eyes that seemed to be blazing. He was afraid that something might be wrong with him, so he had to give in first.
He bit his lower lip, lowered his tone and whispered: "Second Uncle, calm down, can you talk properly? If you really hurt me, you will have to pay for medicine. It is a waste of money. This deal Not worth it."
The second uncle breathed a little calmer.
Jiang Baifan said again: "And the second uncle likes me the most on weekdays. If he really hurt me, it will definitely make my heart hurt for a while."
The second uncle spat and snorted coldly: "I don't feel sorry for you, even if I kill you."
"Okay, okay, you don't feel sorry for me, I love you, it's okay, don't be angry, just talk about it if you have something to say."
"Hmph!" The second uncle had a bad expression on his face, but the anger obviously subsided a lot.
The crutch in his hand didn't land on Jiang Baifan's back anymore, but swayed in the air for a while, and finally fell heavily on the ground.
After pacing in the ancestral hall for a long time, and circled Jiang Baifan back and forth several times, he continued the topic just now: "Who do you say you like? Why do you like a man?"
"What's wrong with the guy? He likes me, and I like him too, so there's no need to care about gender. Besides, there's a huge crowd. Among so many people, it's fate. Maybe it's because of Yuelao. Wire."
"Fart, I'm still in love with the old man, I think you're just obsessed."
"Well, if you say it's a ghost, it's a ghost, anyway, I just want to be with him."
"You you you..." The second uncle started blowing his beard and staring again.
"Second Uncle, calm down."
"Calm down, you are treasonous, you are unfilial, how can I raise such an unfilial offspring like you."
Jiang Baifan insisted: "Why are you so rebellious? Why are you unfilial? Whom I like has nothing to do with being unfilial."
"It doesn't matter who you like, but you can't like a man. It's unfilial to like a man."
"What time is it, Second Uncle, you yourself said that we want to get rid of the feudal thinking of the old society, why are you stubborn now? What's wrong with the man? The point is that I like it. Love There is no age, no height, no race, let alone gender."
"You fart." The second uncle was so angry that he cursed again.
Jiang Baifan explained with reason: "Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian can be together, Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen can be together, you can see that snakes and humans can be together, ghosts and humans can also be together, now Pei Min and I are both human beings." , why can’t we be together? Just because you don’t understand, you can’t say he’s wrong, you’re prejudice.”
"You, you, you, you...you read all the way to your ass, and you talk about nonsense..."
The two insisted on their own opinions, and neither would give in to the other. The second uncle couldn't talk to him, so he went straight to the point and said, "What about your offspring? Are you born or was he born?"
"..." Jiang Baifan choked for a moment, pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Second Uncle, will it be too far to talk about this now?"
"It's not far away. You are the only seedling in Jiufang. You can't let this house die."
"Second Uncle, our family doesn't have a throne to inherit, so why do we have to stay?"
Jiang Baifan scratched his head, facing his second uncle's cannibalistic eyes, and continued: "To tell you the truth, my idea is very simple, either stay with the person I like for the rest of my life, or be single."
"Being a bachelor?" The second uncle was stunned: "If you say this, are you worthy of your parents? Are you worthy of your ancestors?"
Jiang Baifan didn't dare to believe it: "They are all dead, you let me be a living person, and make a compromise just to be worthy of them? Then how sorry is this for me?"
Second Uncle: "They are all dead, but I am still alive. Are you worthy of me for doing this? Are you worthy of those brothers who raised you with shit and urine?"
"I just fell in love, so why am I sorry for you, and I didn't do anything outrageous."
"Are you still stubborn? There are three ways to be unfilial. Having no offspring is the biggest thing. Now you say it's easy to be a bachelor. What should you do when you get old? Raise your children to guard against old age, and there must be descendants to take care of you until you die."
Jiang Baifan was happy: "Retirement? Are there still a few gnawing elders now? You raised him young, but also raised him old. If I have to worry about it, I might as well save more money and go to a nursing home alone."
"These are the few..."
"Okay, don't say any more." Jiang Baifan looked directly at him, and said stubbornly: "Second Uncle, what I mean has been made very clear, don't you understand? Look, now I don't even have my own I can’t even make a decision, so why should I care about future generations? And ah! Life is so long, I can’t care about things in the future, I can only care about things in front of me, and I will do whatever I want now.”
After he finished speaking, he didn't care about the second uncle's reaction, and said again: "And what's so good about marrying a wife and having children? I remember you once said that if you are like the fourth brother, you get married to live together and quarrel with the fourth sister-in-law all day long." It's better to be a bachelor for the rest of your life if you make trouble."
The fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law met each other on a blind date. They have been arguing for a lifetime, and the quarrel has made the village restless. It is New Year's Eve, and they still need someone to persuade them to fight. They got smashed when they quarreled.
There was a small quarrel in two days, and a big quarrel in five days. At the worst time, both of them were sent to the hospital.
Jiang Baifan broke into a cold sweat when he thought of the two of them, "Second uncle, let me choose now, do you let me choose to be with someone I like, or to be a bachelor for the rest of my life."
The second uncle was speechless for a while, his hand on crutches loosened and then tightened, tightened and loosened again, and the ancestral hall returned to its former tranquility.
One of the uncle and nephew was standing, the other was kneeling, both were silent.
The second uncle finally looked at the ancestral tablets on the ancestral hall and murmured: "Oh! What a crime! How can I have the face to meet them after a hundred years."
"So Er Bo, you have to work hard to live a long, long time, and die after me. If you have no face, let me go to see them first."
"Fart, if you can't talk, talk less." The second uncle's face turned black with anger, and he stared at him with a straight face, "Kneel here honestly, and you are not allowed to go anywhere. If you dare to walk around, I will interrupt you." Your leg."
After finishing speaking, he leaned on a cane and walked out slowly, his steps were a little staggering, and the fine sunlight fell on his silver-white hair, making him seem to have aged a lot in an instant.
Jiang Baifan watched him leave, feeling a little sad in his heart. The second uncle is so old, and he has to worry about his future. To be honest, I really feel a little sorry for him, but so what, I can't give up because of guilt what you want.
So what if he catered to the second uncle, who will make up for the guilt towards Pei Min?
Jiang Baifan knelt in the ancestral hall with his back straight. He could see clearly and his goals were clear, and he would not change because of anyone.
It was getting dark soon, and Jiang Baifan's posture changed from kneeling to sitting, and the ancestral hall was lit with ever-burning lights, but it wasn't too dark, but there were quite a lot of mosquitoes.
Jiang Baifan sat on the futon and began to slap mosquitoes out of boredom. After doing this for so long, he was a little hungry, and he regretted that he should listen to Brother Seven in the morning and eat another meat bun.
The meat buns were made by Mrs. Qi herself. She rolled the skin and stuffed the stuffing herself.
It is wrapped with pork belly, tofu, and celery.
After being steamed in a steamer, the outer skin is white and white, and you can see the delicious and juicy stuffing inside when you take a bite...
Thinking of that delicious meat bun, Jiang Baifan started to salivate, he wiped his saliva, flattened his mouth and said in a low voice: "They won't leave me in the ancestral hall, at least give me something to eat of."
Jiang Baifan stood up, quietly stood by the door of the ancestral hall, and pushed it with his hand.
Good guy!
They actually closed the door from the outside and fastened the bolt.
Jiang Baifan scratched his head, "Is it so exaggerated? It's even locked, as for?"
"As for." The sound of lightly unlocking the door came from outside.
The door opened, and his little grandson Jiang Min poked his head in.
"Master."
Jiang Baifan's eyes lit up: "Why are you here?"
Jiang Min raised the lunch box in his hand and whispered, "I'll bring you some food, as well as summer cool quilts and mosquito coils."
"Ah, you are so timely, I just happened to be starving to death."
Jiang Baifan swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, feeling that his stomach acid was about to come out, he said: "I haven't eaten since noon, and I have taught them for four or five hours, it really killed me, and the mosquitoes here are really There are so many, you still remember to bring me mosquito coils, it's really great, I will treat you to delicious food later."
"Okay, I remember."
"What delicious food did you bring?" Jiang Baifan took the lunch box, sat down on the futon, and prepared to eat. He opened the lunch box and saw that it was full of his favorite food on weekdays, garlic eggplant, oily prawns, There is actually braised pork.
"Wow, why did Seventh Sister-in-Law cook so much delicious food today? She even cooked braised pork?"
Jiang Min shook his head: "She didn't cook it."
Jiang Baifan wondered: "Who is that? Could it be Brother Seven?"
"None." Jiang Min smiled helplessly, "Both of them were pissed off by your incident today, and they haven't recovered yet, how can they still be in the mood to cook?"
Jiang Baifan froze for a moment, and slowly put down the pork belly he picked up.
"Then who cooked these dishes?"
"Me! I cooked it all." Jiang Min walked around the ancestral hall, his eyes fell on the small wick of the candle.
He found a pair of scissors and cut the core of the oil lamp. The light in the ancestral hall became brighter again. He looked back at Jiang Baifan's dazed look and whispered: "Eat, it will be cold later."
Jiang Baifan came back to his senses, picked up his chopsticks and ate in silence. After a long while, he suddenly looked up at Jiang Min and said, "Have Brother Seven and Sister-in-law Eat?"
"I didn't eat, I said I have a bad appetite."
"Oh." Jiang Baifan suddenly felt that the braised pork in his mouth was a bit unpleasant.
Seeing his dejected expression, Jiang Min comforted him: "It's okay, don't worry, I'll warm them up, and I'll go back and persuade them to eat later."
"Okay," Jiang Baifan nodded, thinking to himself, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome, this incident just happened too suddenly, Seventh Brother and Seventh Sister-in-law have not yet accepted it, wait for a little longer, it will definitely be fine.
After self-persuasion, Jiang Baifan picked up the braised pork again, took a bite and suddenly asked curiously: "Why are you not surprised at all, and you still have the mood to cook for me?"
"Because..." Jiang Min took out the mosquito coils and carefully separated the two boxes of mosquito coils. He said, "Because I have already prepared myself. You two are so careful. I told you about it a long, long time ago." knew."
"How long is a long time?"
"It's been so long, so long that I noticed it before you noticed it."
"So powerful?"
"Of course." Jiang Min raised his eyebrows and said, "You guys are so small, how can you hide it from me, okay, let's not talk about it, let's eat, braised pork won't taste good when it's cold."
"Yeah." Jiang Baifan chuckled, and continued to bow his head to eat.
"By the way, I just went to the entrance of the village to take a look. Pei Min has already left. Are you still going to persist?" Jiang Min lit the mosquito coils and asked while squatting beside him.
"Gone?" Jiang Baifan obviously didn't believe it.
"Well, I just went to the entrance of the village to see it."
Jiang Baifan looked at the pork belly in the bowl and began to lose his taste.
It's not that he doubts that Pei Min will give up, it's just that he is a little worried about his sudden departure, fearing that something will happen to him.
Jiang Baifan put down the bowl and said, "I'll go and have a look."
"Okay, I'll go with you."
The two sneaked out of the gate of the ancestral hall, and after only a few steps, they were discovered by the second uncle.
The second uncle has obviously been guarding here all the time, his sharp dark eyes flicked across Jiang Min's body, and landed on Jiang Baifan.
"Where are you going?"
"If you don't go anywhere, just go out for a walk when you're full."
"I said, until you admit your mistake, you are not allowed to leave the ancestral hall." The second uncle said coldly.
"Not allowed to leave the ancestral hall for half a step?" Jiang Baifan laughed angrily, "Then you might as well tie me up."
The second uncle thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Okay, then tie it up."
Jiang Baifan: "???"
The second uncle said to Jiang Min, "Go find a strong hemp rope."
Jiang Min was taken aback for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Grandpa, this is not very good, is it?"
"Not so good?" The second uncle narrowed his eyes dangerously at him, the air pressure in his body was extremely low.
"You entered the ancestral hall without permission and released him. I haven't troubled you yet. Now I give you two ways, either tie you or him, it's up to you."
Jiang Min silently found the hemp rope.
Jiang Baifan: "..."
Jiang Baifan: "No, how could it be like this? I haven't committed any crime, yet I'm still tied up with hemp rope? Er Bo, you are using lynching indiscriminately, which is against the law."
"Breaking the law, which law did I break? Which law governs my housework?" The second uncle learned how to tie knots in the army before, and he can tie people firmly, and this method of tying people will not make people too uncomfortable.
Jiang Baifan's hands and feet were tied, and he could still move, but he couldn't untie them.
He tossed and tossed for a while, and said angrily: "You tie me up, if you have the ability to tie me up for a lifetime, I will not admit my mistake."
"Okay, then let's see if it's you who are stubborn or I who are stubborn." The second uncle leaned on a cane, walked around him, and said: "I used to train eagles and try criminals, you and Am I stubborn? Even ten of you can’t beat me.”
"Ah? Do you dare to treat me as a prisoner? Do you want to punish me more?"
The second uncle glared at him: "Don't talk about these things, you just stay in the ancestral hall for one night and go on a blind date with me tomorrow."
"Still on a blind date?" Jiang Baifan rolled his eyes.
"I asked someone to introduce a girl to you. She has a very good appearance and family background, and she is worthy of you."
Jiang Baifan couldn't believe it: "Second Uncle, did you make a mistake? I like men, and if you introduce women to me, won't this harm the girl for the rest of her life?"
"Who doesn't naturally like men, if you can bend over, you can definitely come straight."
"I can't come straight."
"Don't worry, Er Bo will straighten you up."
Jiang Baifan smashed the jar and said, "Second Uncle, then you might as well punish me."
The next day, the second uncle really pressed him to go on a blind date, Jiang Baifan hugged the door of the ancestral hall and refused to let go, the second uncle didn't panic, and simply asked someone to take Jiang Baifan's photo.
Then... the blind date was a success!
Mutually!relative!become!achievement!up!
Jiang Baifan: "..."
Don't we even need to meet each other for a blind date now?Don't need to chat anymore?Don't we need to know each other?Didn't you say you want a house or a car?
... It's outrageous.
Jiang Baifan rebelled angrily: "I don't agree, even if I die."
"I'll wait until you agree." The second uncle tied him up again.
"Second uncle, you can't do this, you will harm other girls."
The second uncle patted his head, "But I'm more afraid of hurting you."
The stalemate has continued into the fifth day.
Although the trouble has become like this, it is impossible for people not to eat. These days, Jiang Baifan has been delivering meals to a few juniors.
Today it was Jiang Min who delivered the food again.
Jiang Min held the lunch box and pushed open the door of the ancestral hall, seeing Jiang Baifan sitting on the futon listlessly, he asked, "How long are you going to hold on?"
"Persist until the second uncle figured it out."
"But grandpa thinks the same way, and he is waiting for you to figure it out." Jiang Min said helplessly, "You two have really similar personalities, both of you are equally stubborn. This time, the nail met the iron, and neither of you is willing to take a step back. .”
Jiang Baifan said: "There will always be someone who compromises first, but that person will definitely not be me."
Pei Min looked at the man who was firmly tied up, frowned and said: "You look so swearing, do you have any bargaining chips?"
"Where is there any bargaining chip? It's just that my persistence is for my future, and his persistence is also for my future. After all, our two goals are the same. Although the second uncle is a little stubborn, he is not pedantic , he will figure it out sooner or later."
"I hope so." Jiang Min sighed, "By the way, there is one more thing that I forgot to tell you."
"what?"
"Pei Min is back."
"He's back?" Jiang Baifan's eyes lit up.
"Ah."
There are no light bulbs in the ancestral hall, only three oil lamps are lit on the table with the spirit card. They are old-fashioned kerosene lamps, shaped a bit like a transparent gourd, with a glass shell, and the shell is filled with kerosene.
Because someone has been adding kerosene to it on time, the three oil lamps have never been extinguished.
Jiang Min got up and flicked the wick to make the light in the ancestral hall brighter again, and then squatted back to Jiang Baifan's side and said, "He's back, and..."
Jiang Min looked at him and paused.
Jiang Baifan couldn't wait to ask: "What's wrong?"
"Do you know how rich he is?"
"what?"
"He has several real estate properties, shares in listed companies and a large amount of passbooks. He took these things to propose marriage, and stuffed them all into the hands of his great-grandfather. He even swore in front of his great-grandfather, swearing with his entire wealth and life. , he is serious about you."
Jiang Baifan was a little confused, and it took him a while to come back to his senses: "What did the second uncle say?"
Jiang Min said: "Grandpa still disagrees, saying that he doesn't care about his money, nor his wealth, and then drives him out of the village."
"what about now?"
"What now?"
"Pei Min! Where is he now?"
"Still guarding outside the village, my great-grandfather tied up more than a dozen dogs in the whole village at the entrance of the village to guard against him."
"Oh, I got it." After Jiang Baifan finished speaking, he ate with big mouthfuls, stuffing all the rice in the bowl into his mouth.
"Know what?" Jiang Min asked curiously.
Jiang Baifan shook his head, suppressed the starlight in his eyes and said: "It's nothing, I'm full, you can go back."
"it is good."
Jiang Min left, Jiang Baifan wiped his mouth, sat on the futon without moving.
Soon, the sound of crutches came from outside the ancestral hall.
The second uncle came in and took a look, he felt relieved about the knot he tied, unless someone else could untie it, Jiang Baifan would definitely not be able to untie it himself.
He circled around, and when the moon was three poles high, he also left.
When the sound of crutches disappeared, Jiang Baifan stood up abruptly, and jumped to the door to take a look. Sure enough, there was no one outside the door.
He looked at the hemp rope in his hand, and then moved his gaze to the oil lamp on the desk. His eyes were shining brightly, and the joy in the depths of his pupils couldn't be hidden. The opportunity came, and he wanted to find Pei Min.
The candle flame of the oil lamp was a bit small, and when he burned the hemp rope, his wrist was very painful. In a short while, a lot of blisters were burned on his wrist, and the delicate skin was flushed, and his appearance was a bit horrible.
Jiang Baifan gritted his teeth, endured the pain and took a breath, rested for a while, and put a candle on his wrist.
The hemp rope tied to his hand was slowly burned for a while, Jiang Baifan's eyes became brighter, and he got closer to enduring the pain.
The hemp rope was completely on fire and was about to break, but the shattered candlelight fell directly on his wrist. The excruciating pain and the burning sensation attached to his wrist made him shiver subconsciously. The elbow hit the kerosene lamp, and the glass bottle-shaped oil lamp fell to the ground, splashing fireworks.
The fire spread to the futon along the oil stains, and it turned into a big fire. The futon was close to the desk, and the wooden desk was dry and flammable. In the blink of an eye, the situation seemed to have developed to the point where it was completely out of control.
The tablets of the ancestors and ancestors were about to be burned, Jiang Baifan thought of rescuing them, but his feet were still tied with hemp rope, the fire was too strong, and when he untied the hemp rope on his feet, the desk had collapsed...
At midnight, everyone in the village fell asleep.
Pei Min was sitting outside the village, full of thoughts, the village was quiet, only a dozen pairs of glowing eyes accompanied him.
The dozen or so dogs stared at him covetously.
He had been separated from Jiang Baifan for several days, and he didn't know what was going on with him. Pei Min looked at the ancestral hall from a distance, wondering if it was an illusion, smoke was rising from the roof of the ancestral hall under the moonlight.
Pei Min wiped his eyes and took a closer look. There was indeed thick smoke coming from the roof of the ancestral hall.
"and many more……"
"What's the matter?" Pei Min put one hand on his waist, and stretched out the other hand on the tree trunk behind him, tilting his head and asking with some doubts.
"It's you who charge interest every time, I feel like I'm at a loss!"
"so?"
"So this time I also want to charge some interest." Jiang Baifan pushed him away, and the two changed positions.
Jiang Baifan turned around and pinned Pei Min on the tree trunk, and gave him a tree dong.
Jiang Baifan looked up at Pei Min, raised his eyebrows quite complacently, and a smile that couldn't be hidden poured out of his eyes.
He tried to kiss him, but he was not tall enough. Jiang Baifan was stunned for a moment, and had to reach out and pinch Pei Min's face, and said with a dry smile, "Well... lower your head, I can't reach it."
Pei Min didn't move, she squinted her eyes and looked at him with a half-smile.
Jiang Baifan glared at him, then simply grabbed his shoulder and tiptoed to kiss him.
The gentle kisses are overwhelming, and the smell of the earth and grass in the mountains is accompanied by the ambiguous smell of the two, brewing fine wine in summer, making people indulge in it physically and mentally.
Dandelions dance with the wind on the hillside, and patches of dogtail grass are blown like green waves by the wind.
Everything is beautiful and tender.
"Yaoer, you... what are you doing?"
A familiar and irritable voice rang in the ears of the two, waking up the lovers who were kissing.
Jiang Baifan's hair stood on end when he heard the voice, and he had a bad feeling. Sure enough, he let go of Pei Min and looked sideways.
His second uncle, who has always been famous for being strict, was standing beside him with a cane and a dark face. The gloomy expression on his face seemed to drip water.
Jiang Baifan froze for a moment, his mind was overwhelmed, and various unknown emotions surfaced. His second uncle is a traditional old man, and he absolutely cannot accept this kind of thing.
Fear, nervousness, and all kinds of negative fears surged up on the way down the mountain, but after the extreme fear, it calmed down.
Twenty minutes later, he and Pei Min stood in the Jiang family's ancestral hall, looking at the big brothers with stern faces and angry faces, but their hearts were as calm as water.
Things have come to this, what should be confessed is still to be confessed, and you can't sneak around for a lifetime.
In a few words, the second uncle told a few old people what happened just now.
After listening to it, everyone's faces were not very good-looking. Apart from shock and bewilderment, what they looked at Jiang Baifan was more hatred.
Jiang Baifan rubbed his face. He knew that this matter was very difficult, and it was difficult to get to the sky, but as long as he could convince the second uncle, then the rest of the big brothers would be fine.
The second uncle is his stumbling block, but they are their backbone.
As long as the second uncle agrees, then everything is easy to talk about.
Just as Jiang Baifan was about to say something, Pei Min spoke first: "Second Uncle, I like Fanfan, and I want to be with him."
Jiang Baifan was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at Pei Min. Pei Min didn't look like he wanted to back down, but his expression was extremely firm. He grabbed his hand and looked directly at the stern Erbo, who was as hawkish as a falcon, without any guilt. Eye.
Jiang Baifan was determined, swallowed, moistened his throat: "Second Uncle, I like it too..."
"Shut up." The second uncle glanced at Jiang Baifan, blocked his words without any shame, then looked at Pei Min, and said coldly: "The visitor is a guest, you come to our village, we will entertain you to our heart's content , but I don’t know that you have such dirty thoughts, you go, we don’t welcome you here.”
"Second Uncle..."
"Presumptuous, who told you to call me the second uncle?" The second uncle snorted coldly, grasping the knuckles on the crutches hard, and every one of them burst out with blue veins, as if he was not holding a cane, but the one he held when he was young Gun, "I'm almost old enough to be your father's grandfather. What right do you have to call me second uncle?"
He paused, glanced at Pei Min, and said in a cold voice, "Just call me grandpa like a common junior."
Pei Min was stunned for a moment, lowered his eyes and called out "Grandfather" in a low voice, and then continued: "I like Fanfan, I want to be with him, I am sincere, please give me a chance."
"How much is the truth worth?" The second uncle's tone became more and more cold.He didn't stop, speaking word by word, as if he was giving an order, as if there was no tone of discussion.
"I'll tell you what's next, you listen."
"It's understandable for a child to do something unexpected in a moment of curiosity. I can pretend that I didn't see what happened just now. But you pack up your things and leave the village immediately, and you will never be allowed to set foot in this village again."
After the second uncle finished speaking, he turned his head to look at Jiang Baifan, and continued to Pei Min: "I will handle the withdrawal procedures for him next semester. If you don't want to harm my family, don't contact him in the future."
"Master, if you give me a chance, I will definitely..."
"Don't talk about it." The second uncle's indifferent face showed a trace of irritability, he directly interrupted his words, and said firmly: "I don't agree."
Pei Min opened his mouth and was about to speak, but the second uncle looked at him coldly, "You are Yao'er's friend, I don't want to say too many bad words, to save everyone's face. You have two options now, you can clean it up yourself. Go out, or I will break your legs and throw you out."
"If I don't go out." Pei Min held Jiang Baifan's hand, straightened his back: "You can't be so bossy, this is a matter between Fanfan and me, you should respect the opinions of the parties involved."
"No, it's not his business. As long as his surname is Jiang, as long as he stands on this site, that's my business."
The second uncle's crutches hit the bluestone floor heavily, and there was a heavy echo from the ancestral hall, which weighed heavily on the heart and made people breathless.
"It's not up to you whether you can get out or not. Now there are only two paths in front of you. Go out completely by yourself or with a broken leg or an arm?"
The threatening meaning in the words of the second uncle is naked/naked in front of him, "Don't doubt what I said, there are thieves who steal chickens or dogs here, and there are not a few who are caught and beaten to death with sticks. Do you want to try it?"
Pei Min was still indifferent, staring at the second uncle without fear, but Jiang Baifan could feel a cold sweat.
The second uncle never speaks one word, in the village he is what he says, when he is angry, no one else dares to breathe, but now he is obviously in a fit of anger, and he can't let it out for a while, no one will argue with him Who will suffer.
The point is that the threatening words that the second uncle said were not fake.
With a pale face, Jiang Baifan tugged Pei Min's sleeve carefully, and said in a low voice, "Don't talk, you listen to the second uncle and go out first, and I will tell him when he calms down."
Pei Min shook his head, he was already prepared, he knew it would be a tough battle.
"Listen to me, I have a solution. The second uncle loves me the most. Now I just can't accept it. I will grind him after a long time, and he will definitely agree." Jiang Baifan said: "You are fighting with him now. Up, I'm going to have a hard time in the middle."
He patted his chest and vowed: "You believe in me, I will definitely handle it well."
This matter cannot be done overnight, and the best way is to take it slowly.
Pei Min also knew that he knew better than anyone else that he would not give up, but at this moment he had to take a step back.
He didn't need to pack his things, his luggage had already been packed by Jiang Baifan's fifth brother and thrown out. He stood at the entrance of the village and could not enter again. A few ferocious dogs were tied at the entrance, staring at him with snarls. .
Pei Min stood on the spot silently looking in the direction of the ancestral hall, and sighed heavily. Things were more difficult than he imagined.
Where is the difficulty?
The difficulty is that there is no solution at all.
Only through communication can there be a solution, but so far, he has been completely unable to intervene.
In the eyes of the older generation, same-sex love is probably really outrageous, unforgivable, and there is no chance of turning things around.
Pei Min scratched his head in distress, not knowing what to do for a while.
Just stand here and wait for Jiang Baifan to solve it?Can not be done!How could he be allowed to fight alone!
He has to work hard himself, he has to go back to his hometown and gamble his entire wealth and life.
If he wins the bet, he can spend his whole life with the one he loves.If you lose the bet, you will be alone.
This is a battle that cannot be lost.
Pei Min walked out, and looked back at the village shrouded in the mountains on the way, with only firmness in his eyes.
Wait for me.
The location is the Jiang Family Ancestral Hall, which is usually quiet with blue bricks and black tiles, but now it seems to be scorched by the scorching sun. Everyone standing here is a little irritable, even the Xia Chan hanging on the tree is noisy Some people feel dizzy and ears are full of hearing, there is nowhere to vent their anger, and there is nowhere to vent their anger.
Jiang Baifan knelt in the ancestral hall, enduring the elders who were even more troublesome than Xia Chan.
One by one, the older brothers blew their beards and stared at him, questioned and reprimanded him, and began to persuade him after scolding.
They tried to understand it with emotion and reason, pinching their fingers to tell the disadvantages of homosexuality one by one, no matter whether there are such disadvantages or not, they can't wait to put all of them on it, they almost didn't say that homosexuality is heinous something happened.
Jiang Baifan lowered his eyes, looked at his nose and heart, and did not refute them, but his appearance clearly disagreed.
The big brothers were all slobbering, and Jiang Baifan remained indifferent. He knelt there, expressionless, calm, like a dead pig who is not afraid of boiling water.
Seventh Brother stood in front of him, hating iron for being weak and said: "Yaoer, have you listened?"
"Listen."
"If you listen to it, don't contact him again."
"I just said that I listened to it, but it doesn't mean I agree with your point of view."
"You, you, you..." Seventh brother almost vomited blood from his anger, but he was helpless, because Jiang Baifan was raised by him, and his personality has been like this since he was a child.
The appearance is as weak as rush grass, but the heart is as firm as a rock. No one can change the things he decides.
When he was in school, he made a bet with someone that he would be the first in the exam. He didn't pay much attention to his studies, so he climbed from the bottom to the top, and then climbed from the top to the first.
He rarely fights for something, but if he does, he will definitely do it.
He wants to be with Pei Min now, so no one can persuade him, no matter the future, at least this moment is unwavering.
Brother Qi knew it very well, and so did the other big brothers, because they took turns raising this child, and no one knew him better than them.
Seventh Brother sighed, and continued to persuade: "Yao'er, is it good to be obedient this time? There are so many people in the world, why do you have to like him?"
Jiang Baifan said seriously: "There are so many people in the world, but I only like him."
"You, you... I'm so mad." Seventh Brother walked away in a rage.
When the second uncle saw the scene where he didn't get in, he threw up his sleeves angrily and said, "Stop talking, go out. Don't persuade him, and don't worry about him. This time, no one is allowed to secretly protect him. The ancestral hall is kneeling, and if you don’t want to get through, you are not allowed to come out.”
Everyone left, only the kneeling Jiang Baifan and the angry second uncle remained.
"Just kneel here and reflect on yourself."
Jiang Baifan curled his lips, unwilling to say: "What are you reflecting on? I didn't do anything wrong."
"You haven't realized your mistake yet?" The second uncle was furious, picked up his crutches and hit him twice on the back.
Jiang Baifan didn't hide, just knelt there and received his two crutches. The solid dragon-headed crutch hit his back, making a heavy muffled sound. He didn't wear many clothes in summer, and the two sticks hit his flesh. The flesh under the thin layer of clothing should have turned green.
The second uncle had never hit him before. No matter how big a mistake he made, he had never hit him before. This was the first time.
Unbearable and distressed in Erbo's eyes, but the anger was still there, he asked back, "Do you know where I went wrong?"
"I don't know." Jiang Baifan gritted his teeth and shook his head.
"You don't know yet?" The second uncle raised his crutch again, cursing, "I'll kill you, an unfilial son."
Jiang Baifan didn't even blink his eyes, "You hit me, you'll kill me."
"You..." The second uncle was so angry that his hands were shaking, and the crutch in his hand did not drop for a long time.
Seeing that there was no movement behind him, Jiang Baifan turned his head hesitantly and saw the old man's trembling hands and eyes that seemed to be blazing. He was afraid that something might be wrong with him, so he had to give in first.
He bit his lower lip, lowered his tone and whispered: "Second Uncle, calm down, can you talk properly? If you really hurt me, you will have to pay for medicine. It is a waste of money. This deal Not worth it."
The second uncle breathed a little calmer.
Jiang Baifan said again: "And the second uncle likes me the most on weekdays. If he really hurt me, it will definitely make my heart hurt for a while."
The second uncle spat and snorted coldly: "I don't feel sorry for you, even if I kill you."
"Okay, okay, you don't feel sorry for me, I love you, it's okay, don't be angry, just talk about it if you have something to say."
"Hmph!" The second uncle had a bad expression on his face, but the anger obviously subsided a lot.
The crutch in his hand didn't land on Jiang Baifan's back anymore, but swayed in the air for a while, and finally fell heavily on the ground.
After pacing in the ancestral hall for a long time, and circled Jiang Baifan back and forth several times, he continued the topic just now: "Who do you say you like? Why do you like a man?"
"What's wrong with the guy? He likes me, and I like him too, so there's no need to care about gender. Besides, there's a huge crowd. Among so many people, it's fate. Maybe it's because of Yuelao. Wire."
"Fart, I'm still in love with the old man, I think you're just obsessed."
"Well, if you say it's a ghost, it's a ghost, anyway, I just want to be with him."
"You you you..." The second uncle started blowing his beard and staring again.
"Second Uncle, calm down."
"Calm down, you are treasonous, you are unfilial, how can I raise such an unfilial offspring like you."
Jiang Baifan insisted: "Why are you so rebellious? Why are you unfilial? Whom I like has nothing to do with being unfilial."
"It doesn't matter who you like, but you can't like a man. It's unfilial to like a man."
"What time is it, Second Uncle, you yourself said that we want to get rid of the feudal thinking of the old society, why are you stubborn now? What's wrong with the man? The point is that I like it. Love There is no age, no height, no race, let alone gender."
"You fart." The second uncle was so angry that he cursed again.
Jiang Baifan explained with reason: "Bai Suzhen and Xu Xian can be together, Nie Xiaoqian and Ning Caichen can be together, you can see that snakes and humans can be together, ghosts and humans can also be together, now Pei Min and I are both human beings." , why can’t we be together? Just because you don’t understand, you can’t say he’s wrong, you’re prejudice.”
"You, you, you, you...you read all the way to your ass, and you talk about nonsense..."
The two insisted on their own opinions, and neither would give in to the other. The second uncle couldn't talk to him, so he went straight to the point and said, "What about your offspring? Are you born or was he born?"
"..." Jiang Baifan choked for a moment, pulled the corner of his mouth and said, "Second Uncle, will it be too far to talk about this now?"
"It's not far away. You are the only seedling in Jiufang. You can't let this house die."
"Second Uncle, our family doesn't have a throne to inherit, so why do we have to stay?"
Jiang Baifan scratched his head, facing his second uncle's cannibalistic eyes, and continued: "To tell you the truth, my idea is very simple, either stay with the person I like for the rest of my life, or be single."
"Being a bachelor?" The second uncle was stunned: "If you say this, are you worthy of your parents? Are you worthy of your ancestors?"
Jiang Baifan didn't dare to believe it: "They are all dead, you let me be a living person, and make a compromise just to be worthy of them? Then how sorry is this for me?"
Second Uncle: "They are all dead, but I am still alive. Are you worthy of me for doing this? Are you worthy of those brothers who raised you with shit and urine?"
"I just fell in love, so why am I sorry for you, and I didn't do anything outrageous."
"Are you still stubborn? There are three ways to be unfilial. Having no offspring is the biggest thing. Now you say it's easy to be a bachelor. What should you do when you get old? Raise your children to guard against old age, and there must be descendants to take care of you until you die."
Jiang Baifan was happy: "Retirement? Are there still a few gnawing elders now? You raised him young, but also raised him old. If I have to worry about it, I might as well save more money and go to a nursing home alone."
"These are the few..."
"Okay, don't say any more." Jiang Baifan looked directly at him, and said stubbornly: "Second Uncle, what I mean has been made very clear, don't you understand? Look, now I don't even have my own I can’t even make a decision, so why should I care about future generations? And ah! Life is so long, I can’t care about things in the future, I can only care about things in front of me, and I will do whatever I want now.”
After he finished speaking, he didn't care about the second uncle's reaction, and said again: "And what's so good about marrying a wife and having children? I remember you once said that if you are like the fourth brother, you get married to live together and quarrel with the fourth sister-in-law all day long." It's better to be a bachelor for the rest of your life if you make trouble."
The fourth brother and the fourth sister-in-law met each other on a blind date. They have been arguing for a lifetime, and the quarrel has made the village restless. It is New Year's Eve, and they still need someone to persuade them to fight. They got smashed when they quarreled.
There was a small quarrel in two days, and a big quarrel in five days. At the worst time, both of them were sent to the hospital.
Jiang Baifan broke into a cold sweat when he thought of the two of them, "Second uncle, let me choose now, do you let me choose to be with someone I like, or to be a bachelor for the rest of my life."
The second uncle was speechless for a while, his hand on crutches loosened and then tightened, tightened and loosened again, and the ancestral hall returned to its former tranquility.
One of the uncle and nephew was standing, the other was kneeling, both were silent.
The second uncle finally looked at the ancestral tablets on the ancestral hall and murmured: "Oh! What a crime! How can I have the face to meet them after a hundred years."
"So Er Bo, you have to work hard to live a long, long time, and die after me. If you have no face, let me go to see them first."
"Fart, if you can't talk, talk less." The second uncle's face turned black with anger, and he stared at him with a straight face, "Kneel here honestly, and you are not allowed to go anywhere. If you dare to walk around, I will interrupt you." Your leg."
After finishing speaking, he leaned on a cane and walked out slowly, his steps were a little staggering, and the fine sunlight fell on his silver-white hair, making him seem to have aged a lot in an instant.
Jiang Baifan watched him leave, feeling a little sad in his heart. The second uncle is so old, and he has to worry about his future. To be honest, I really feel a little sorry for him, but so what, I can't give up because of guilt what you want.
So what if he catered to the second uncle, who will make up for the guilt towards Pei Min?
Jiang Baifan knelt in the ancestral hall with his back straight. He could see clearly and his goals were clear, and he would not change because of anyone.
It was getting dark soon, and Jiang Baifan's posture changed from kneeling to sitting, and the ancestral hall was lit with ever-burning lights, but it wasn't too dark, but there were quite a lot of mosquitoes.
Jiang Baifan sat on the futon and began to slap mosquitoes out of boredom. After doing this for so long, he was a little hungry, and he regretted that he should listen to Brother Seven in the morning and eat another meat bun.
The meat buns were made by Mrs. Qi herself. She rolled the skin and stuffed the stuffing herself.
It is wrapped with pork belly, tofu, and celery.
After being steamed in a steamer, the outer skin is white and white, and you can see the delicious and juicy stuffing inside when you take a bite...
Thinking of that delicious meat bun, Jiang Baifan started to salivate, he wiped his saliva, flattened his mouth and said in a low voice: "They won't leave me in the ancestral hall, at least give me something to eat of."
Jiang Baifan stood up, quietly stood by the door of the ancestral hall, and pushed it with his hand.
Good guy!
They actually closed the door from the outside and fastened the bolt.
Jiang Baifan scratched his head, "Is it so exaggerated? It's even locked, as for?"
"As for." The sound of lightly unlocking the door came from outside.
The door opened, and his little grandson Jiang Min poked his head in.
"Master."
Jiang Baifan's eyes lit up: "Why are you here?"
Jiang Min raised the lunch box in his hand and whispered, "I'll bring you some food, as well as summer cool quilts and mosquito coils."
"Ah, you are so timely, I just happened to be starving to death."
Jiang Baifan swallowed a few mouthfuls of saliva, feeling that his stomach acid was about to come out, he said: "I haven't eaten since noon, and I have taught them for four or five hours, it really killed me, and the mosquitoes here are really There are so many, you still remember to bring me mosquito coils, it's really great, I will treat you to delicious food later."
"Okay, I remember."
"What delicious food did you bring?" Jiang Baifan took the lunch box, sat down on the futon, and prepared to eat. He opened the lunch box and saw that it was full of his favorite food on weekdays, garlic eggplant, oily prawns, There is actually braised pork.
"Wow, why did Seventh Sister-in-Law cook so much delicious food today? She even cooked braised pork?"
Jiang Min shook his head: "She didn't cook it."
Jiang Baifan wondered: "Who is that? Could it be Brother Seven?"
"None." Jiang Min smiled helplessly, "Both of them were pissed off by your incident today, and they haven't recovered yet, how can they still be in the mood to cook?"
Jiang Baifan froze for a moment, and slowly put down the pork belly he picked up.
"Then who cooked these dishes?"
"Me! I cooked it all." Jiang Min walked around the ancestral hall, his eyes fell on the small wick of the candle.
He found a pair of scissors and cut the core of the oil lamp. The light in the ancestral hall became brighter again. He looked back at Jiang Baifan's dazed look and whispered: "Eat, it will be cold later."
Jiang Baifan came back to his senses, picked up his chopsticks and ate in silence. After a long while, he suddenly looked up at Jiang Min and said, "Have Brother Seven and Sister-in-law Eat?"
"I didn't eat, I said I have a bad appetite."
"Oh." Jiang Baifan suddenly felt that the braised pork in his mouth was a bit unpleasant.
Seeing his dejected expression, Jiang Min comforted him: "It's okay, don't worry, I'll warm them up, and I'll go back and persuade them to eat later."
"Okay," Jiang Baifan nodded, thinking to himself, there is no hurdle that cannot be overcome, this incident just happened too suddenly, Seventh Brother and Seventh Sister-in-law have not yet accepted it, wait for a little longer, it will definitely be fine.
After self-persuasion, Jiang Baifan picked up the braised pork again, took a bite and suddenly asked curiously: "Why are you not surprised at all, and you still have the mood to cook for me?"
"Because..." Jiang Min took out the mosquito coils and carefully separated the two boxes of mosquito coils. He said, "Because I have already prepared myself. You two are so careful. I told you about it a long, long time ago." knew."
"How long is a long time?"
"It's been so long, so long that I noticed it before you noticed it."
"So powerful?"
"Of course." Jiang Min raised his eyebrows and said, "You guys are so small, how can you hide it from me, okay, let's not talk about it, let's eat, braised pork won't taste good when it's cold."
"Yeah." Jiang Baifan chuckled, and continued to bow his head to eat.
"By the way, I just went to the entrance of the village to take a look. Pei Min has already left. Are you still going to persist?" Jiang Min lit the mosquito coils and asked while squatting beside him.
"Gone?" Jiang Baifan obviously didn't believe it.
"Well, I just went to the entrance of the village to see it."
Jiang Baifan looked at the pork belly in the bowl and began to lose his taste.
It's not that he doubts that Pei Min will give up, it's just that he is a little worried about his sudden departure, fearing that something will happen to him.
Jiang Baifan put down the bowl and said, "I'll go and have a look."
"Okay, I'll go with you."
The two sneaked out of the gate of the ancestral hall, and after only a few steps, they were discovered by the second uncle.
The second uncle has obviously been guarding here all the time, his sharp dark eyes flicked across Jiang Min's body, and landed on Jiang Baifan.
"Where are you going?"
"If you don't go anywhere, just go out for a walk when you're full."
"I said, until you admit your mistake, you are not allowed to leave the ancestral hall." The second uncle said coldly.
"Not allowed to leave the ancestral hall for half a step?" Jiang Baifan laughed angrily, "Then you might as well tie me up."
The second uncle thought for a while, then nodded and said: "Okay, then tie it up."
Jiang Baifan: "???"
The second uncle said to Jiang Min, "Go find a strong hemp rope."
Jiang Min was taken aback for a moment, then hesitated and said, "Grandpa, this is not very good, is it?"
"Not so good?" The second uncle narrowed his eyes dangerously at him, the air pressure in his body was extremely low.
"You entered the ancestral hall without permission and released him. I haven't troubled you yet. Now I give you two ways, either tie you or him, it's up to you."
Jiang Min silently found the hemp rope.
Jiang Baifan: "..."
Jiang Baifan: "No, how could it be like this? I haven't committed any crime, yet I'm still tied up with hemp rope? Er Bo, you are using lynching indiscriminately, which is against the law."
"Breaking the law, which law did I break? Which law governs my housework?" The second uncle learned how to tie knots in the army before, and he can tie people firmly, and this method of tying people will not make people too uncomfortable.
Jiang Baifan's hands and feet were tied, and he could still move, but he couldn't untie them.
He tossed and tossed for a while, and said angrily: "You tie me up, if you have the ability to tie me up for a lifetime, I will not admit my mistake."
"Okay, then let's see if it's you who are stubborn or I who are stubborn." The second uncle leaned on a cane, walked around him, and said: "I used to train eagles and try criminals, you and Am I stubborn? Even ten of you can’t beat me.”
"Ah? Do you dare to treat me as a prisoner? Do you want to punish me more?"
The second uncle glared at him: "Don't talk about these things, you just stay in the ancestral hall for one night and go on a blind date with me tomorrow."
"Still on a blind date?" Jiang Baifan rolled his eyes.
"I asked someone to introduce a girl to you. She has a very good appearance and family background, and she is worthy of you."
Jiang Baifan couldn't believe it: "Second Uncle, did you make a mistake? I like men, and if you introduce women to me, won't this harm the girl for the rest of her life?"
"Who doesn't naturally like men, if you can bend over, you can definitely come straight."
"I can't come straight."
"Don't worry, Er Bo will straighten you up."
Jiang Baifan smashed the jar and said, "Second Uncle, then you might as well punish me."
The next day, the second uncle really pressed him to go on a blind date, Jiang Baifan hugged the door of the ancestral hall and refused to let go, the second uncle didn't panic, and simply asked someone to take Jiang Baifan's photo.
Then... the blind date was a success!
Mutually!relative!become!achievement!up!
Jiang Baifan: "..."
Don't we even need to meet each other for a blind date now?Don't need to chat anymore?Don't we need to know each other?Didn't you say you want a house or a car?
... It's outrageous.
Jiang Baifan rebelled angrily: "I don't agree, even if I die."
"I'll wait until you agree." The second uncle tied him up again.
"Second uncle, you can't do this, you will harm other girls."
The second uncle patted his head, "But I'm more afraid of hurting you."
The stalemate has continued into the fifth day.
Although the trouble has become like this, it is impossible for people not to eat. These days, Jiang Baifan has been delivering meals to a few juniors.
Today it was Jiang Min who delivered the food again.
Jiang Min held the lunch box and pushed open the door of the ancestral hall, seeing Jiang Baifan sitting on the futon listlessly, he asked, "How long are you going to hold on?"
"Persist until the second uncle figured it out."
"But grandpa thinks the same way, and he is waiting for you to figure it out." Jiang Min said helplessly, "You two have really similar personalities, both of you are equally stubborn. This time, the nail met the iron, and neither of you is willing to take a step back. .”
Jiang Baifan said: "There will always be someone who compromises first, but that person will definitely not be me."
Pei Min looked at the man who was firmly tied up, frowned and said: "You look so swearing, do you have any bargaining chips?"
"Where is there any bargaining chip? It's just that my persistence is for my future, and his persistence is also for my future. After all, our two goals are the same. Although the second uncle is a little stubborn, he is not pedantic , he will figure it out sooner or later."
"I hope so." Jiang Min sighed, "By the way, there is one more thing that I forgot to tell you."
"what?"
"Pei Min is back."
"He's back?" Jiang Baifan's eyes lit up.
"Ah."
There are no light bulbs in the ancestral hall, only three oil lamps are lit on the table with the spirit card. They are old-fashioned kerosene lamps, shaped a bit like a transparent gourd, with a glass shell, and the shell is filled with kerosene.
Because someone has been adding kerosene to it on time, the three oil lamps have never been extinguished.
Jiang Min got up and flicked the wick to make the light in the ancestral hall brighter again, and then squatted back to Jiang Baifan's side and said, "He's back, and..."
Jiang Min looked at him and paused.
Jiang Baifan couldn't wait to ask: "What's wrong?"
"Do you know how rich he is?"
"what?"
"He has several real estate properties, shares in listed companies and a large amount of passbooks. He took these things to propose marriage, and stuffed them all into the hands of his great-grandfather. He even swore in front of his great-grandfather, swearing with his entire wealth and life. , he is serious about you."
Jiang Baifan was a little confused, and it took him a while to come back to his senses: "What did the second uncle say?"
Jiang Min said: "Grandpa still disagrees, saying that he doesn't care about his money, nor his wealth, and then drives him out of the village."
"what about now?"
"What now?"
"Pei Min! Where is he now?"
"Still guarding outside the village, my great-grandfather tied up more than a dozen dogs in the whole village at the entrance of the village to guard against him."
"Oh, I got it." After Jiang Baifan finished speaking, he ate with big mouthfuls, stuffing all the rice in the bowl into his mouth.
"Know what?" Jiang Min asked curiously.
Jiang Baifan shook his head, suppressed the starlight in his eyes and said: "It's nothing, I'm full, you can go back."
"it is good."
Jiang Min left, Jiang Baifan wiped his mouth, sat on the futon without moving.
Soon, the sound of crutches came from outside the ancestral hall.
The second uncle came in and took a look, he felt relieved about the knot he tied, unless someone else could untie it, Jiang Baifan would definitely not be able to untie it himself.
He circled around, and when the moon was three poles high, he also left.
When the sound of crutches disappeared, Jiang Baifan stood up abruptly, and jumped to the door to take a look. Sure enough, there was no one outside the door.
He looked at the hemp rope in his hand, and then moved his gaze to the oil lamp on the desk. His eyes were shining brightly, and the joy in the depths of his pupils couldn't be hidden. The opportunity came, and he wanted to find Pei Min.
The candle flame of the oil lamp was a bit small, and when he burned the hemp rope, his wrist was very painful. In a short while, a lot of blisters were burned on his wrist, and the delicate skin was flushed, and his appearance was a bit horrible.
Jiang Baifan gritted his teeth, endured the pain and took a breath, rested for a while, and put a candle on his wrist.
The hemp rope tied to his hand was slowly burned for a while, Jiang Baifan's eyes became brighter, and he got closer to enduring the pain.
The hemp rope was completely on fire and was about to break, but the shattered candlelight fell directly on his wrist. The excruciating pain and the burning sensation attached to his wrist made him shiver subconsciously. The elbow hit the kerosene lamp, and the glass bottle-shaped oil lamp fell to the ground, splashing fireworks.
The fire spread to the futon along the oil stains, and it turned into a big fire. The futon was close to the desk, and the wooden desk was dry and flammable. In the blink of an eye, the situation seemed to have developed to the point where it was completely out of control.
The tablets of the ancestors and ancestors were about to be burned, Jiang Baifan thought of rescuing them, but his feet were still tied with hemp rope, the fire was too strong, and when he untied the hemp rope on his feet, the desk had collapsed...
At midnight, everyone in the village fell asleep.
Pei Min was sitting outside the village, full of thoughts, the village was quiet, only a dozen pairs of glowing eyes accompanied him.
The dozen or so dogs stared at him covetously.
He had been separated from Jiang Baifan for several days, and he didn't know what was going on with him. Pei Min looked at the ancestral hall from a distance, wondering if it was an illusion, smoke was rising from the roof of the ancestral hall under the moonlight.
Pei Min wiped his eyes and took a closer look. There was indeed thick smoke coming from the roof of the ancestral hall.
