The return of the son-in-law

It is also a coincidence.

Guo Zhan'an was tasting the winery's ten-year-old wine under the invitation of the shopkeeper, when he heard the sound of crockpots breaking from behind, and then a slightly familiar man's voice came: "What are you doing, you guys! I paid for it, why not?" Don't let me take a sip! What if you trick me with water?"

Then I heard a person persuading him: "Master Liu was joking, how could we lie to you? The apricot blossom wine you want is here. This is the wine prepared for other guests. If Master Liu wants to drink, I will go I'll give you a spoonful from the wine cellar at the back, do you think so?"

I heard that Mr. Liu said impatiently: "Why don't you hurry up? Let me tell you, don't use a small spoon the size of your thumb to send me off, just, just use that spoon, just use that spoon to hook it. If you are dissatisfied with me, don't worry promise!"

"Success, Mr. Liu, just wait here, I'll come back as soon as I go."

Guo Zhan'an smiled and said to the shopkeeper beside him, "Master Liu has a pretty temper."

The shopkeeper was a little helpless, but the visitors were all customers, and he couldn't complain to Guo Zhan'an, but the expression on his face was enough to explain everything: "I'm making the guests laugh. Come, there are three years of peach blossom wine here. Ten years of aging It may be too intoxicating, if there are old people and children in the guest's house and want to drink some wine for the occasion, this peach blossom wine is not bad."

With that said, the shopkeeper poured a cup and handed it to Guo Zhanan.

Guo Zhan'an took it, first smelled it for a while, and the aroma of the wine was tangy;

"This wine is good, prepare three jars."

The shopkeeper responded, keeping it in mind, and then asked: "What kind of wine or snacks do guests like to drink at home? We also have cheese cakes and other foods in our winery. The taste is also good. Why don't you try it?"

Guo Zhan'an couldn't help thinking of Huo Yu's bulging cheeks, he smiled inexplicably, and said, "I don't understand snacks. When my brother comes back, let him taste and taste. If he likes it, take some back with each of them." .”

The shopkeeper responded, flattering with a smile: "The relationship between the guest and Brother Ling is really good. I don't know what taboos Brother Ling has? I can also prepare in advance, so as not to cause trouble during the Chinese New Year, which is not beautiful."

Thinking of Huo Yu's happy face when he was eating, Guo Zhan'an smiled even more: "There is only one, don't eat the bad ones."

The shopkeeper was taken aback for a moment, then he realized and laughed: "I see, I'll prepare it in a while."

At this time, Boss Liu's voice was heard from behind: "What kind of wine are you? Pooh! It's clearly swill! How dare you give this to your grandpa? Are you impatient?"

The shopkeeper frowned slightly, and was about to invite other people to accompany Guo Zhanan to taste wine, and to deal with the matter later, when he heard Guo Zhanan say from the side, "This person, is his surname Liu?"

"That's not it," the shopkeeper said with a bitter face, "It's almost Chinese New Year, and you still come here to make trouble. Sigh, I don't know where this person came from."

Guo Zhan'an has some clues: "Maybe it's an old acquaintance of mine, I'll go and have a look."

The shopkeeper naturally didn't want other guests to be involved in this unprovoked dispute, but Guo Zhan'an said that this person might be his old acquaintance, so the shopkeeper could only take him in to have a look.

It turned out that he was Boss Liu from Tiger Village!

Compared with before, Boss Liu looked a little downcast. He was wearing a padded jacket that had been waffled, with several patches on it, and a pair of cloth shoes on his feet had a small hole. Compared with the life in Tiger Village, it was indeed difficult. Quite a lot.

No wonder, Fuqing was so easy to use money and wine to get out of his mouth.

Guo Zhanan had already made plans. He walked up to the young man who couldn't stop apologizing to Boss Liu with a bitter face, and said, "Isn't this Boss Liu?"

Boss Liu, who was flamboyant, stopped, looked at Guo Zhan'an carefully, and said with horror on his face, "Why are you here? Could it be, could it be that you broke your promise and changed your mind?"

Guo Zhan'an had promised everyone in Tiger Village earlier that as long as they stopped doing evil, he would let the past go.Because of this, when Boss Liu saw Guo Zhanan at first sight, his first reaction was that this kid turned back and came to arrest him!

Guo Zhan'an understood the worry in his heart and said, "Don't worry, I will do what I say." But before Boss Liu could let go of his heart, his tone suddenly changed, and he was very cold: "It's just that you did what you said? "

Boss Liu said nonchalantly: "Of course, when do you think I have done anything wrong?"

Guo Zhanan glanced at the wine spoon that was thrown on the ground, and said, "Isn't it right now?"

Boss Liu was a little anxious, and said with a stiff neck, "They lied to me first! They lied to me by putting bad wine into good wine!"

The shopkeeper interrupted and said, "Two guests, let me say that although this wine is not a Western Region wine worth a thousand taels, it is also the best among all the grapes in our winery. To be honest, if it were me, Master Liu would like to drink it." , I don’t necessarily give it yet.”

Mr. Liu was anxious: "What did you say?"

The shopkeeper said with a cold face: "Master Liu, Boss Liu, have you paid off the money you owe to our winery?"

"Didn't you say you will pay it back after a year? Besides, today I bought wine with you with money!"

The shopkeeper greeted the back, and turned to look at Guo Zhan'an: "My guest, please let me go, it will be bad if I hurt you by mistake."

Boss Liu was anxious and frightened: "What do you want to do? Let me tell you, if you dare to do anything to me, I will stand at the gate of your winery and call for grievances, so that others will know how your winery bullies others!"

The shopkeeper yelled: "Shut up! You owe our winery a total of five or twenty-seven cents, and you took half a dime to buy wine today. Can you afford our wine? Calling for injustice? If you want to complain, I'll show you tomorrow." Let’s go to the magistrate’s yamen, and ask the magistrate to come forward and make decisions for us, to see if our winery is bullying others, or if you don’t pay back the money you owe, and spit on others!”

As soon as he heard that the shopkeeper moved out of the magistrate, Boss Liu's arrogance immediately disappeared, and he said bitterly: "Where's my wine? Bring it to me, I'm leaving now!"

Guo Zhan'an watched from the sidelines, and further concluded that Boss Liu had a hard life during this period of time.It's just that this person is used to domineering in the Tiger Village before, and he doesn't know how to manage it. If there is no one to help him, I'm afraid life will be even more difficult.

Seeing that Boss Liu was about to leave with the wine, Guo Zhanan asked the shopkeeper to keep an eye on when Huo Yu would return to the winery to look for him, and if he came back, he would give Huo Yu some snacks.

He himself paid the deposit, and called to Boss Liu: "It's rare for us to see each other, and Huo Yu misses you a lot, why don't we go to the nearby Xianlai Restaurant to get together?"

Boss Liu was unwilling at first, but thinking of the rumors about the dishes in Xianlai Restaurant, he would inevitably be hungry, so he agreed.

After ordering a pot of wine and a few side dishes, Boss Liu was not polite. He drank three glasses first, and then said, "Master Guo, why are you looking for me this time?"

Guo Zhanan didn't bother to be polite to him, and said directly: "A few days ago, someone asked you about Huo Yu."

"Oh? This matter," Liu Boss thought for a while, and replied, "There is indeed such a thing. He is a little bastard with a mischievous eyebrow. He said he was your servant. He was ordered to come and ask me about Huo Yu."

Naturally, this person cannot be Jia Huan. Guo Zhanan made a note of Fuqing in his heart, and asked, "What did you ask? What benefits did you get?"

Boss Liu was stunned: "Didn't you send it?"

Guo Zhanan shook his head and said, "No."

Boss Liu slapped the table: "His mother's son of a bitch! Tell me to catch him, and I will definitely skin him! I thought Huo Yu could live a good life with you, but I confessed that his mother lied to me! "

Guo Zhanan tapped twice on the table: "Not only that, but after a few days, another person took advantage of you to get Huo Yu's identity out of you while you were drunk and messing around."

Boss Liu was shocked and stared at Guo Zhanan: "Are you testing me?"

Guo Zhanan shook his head first, then nodded: "The first one is not, the second one is."

Boss Liu couldn't hide his anger, his cheeks were shaking uncontrollably: "What is your purpose? Are you trying to force me to death!"

"What purpose?" Guo Zhanan asked him back, "Can't you see it? With you around, Huo Yu is in danger."

Boss Liu didn't understand: "I didn't get in his way, and I didn't provoke enemies for him, so why does Huo Yu's safety have something to do with me?"

Guo Zhan'an said: "Following me, Huo Yu can plan a good future, but he will inevitably make enemies everywhere. If anyone can use your words, how can Huo Yu achieve a career?"

The light in Boss Liu's eyes disappeared, like two lifeless deep pools.He sat there blankly, staring at the steaming dishes on the table, not knowing what he was thinking.

Guo Zhan'an was not in a hurry, he poured his own drink and let Boss Liu figure it out for himself.

If Boss Liu hadn't inadvertently expressed his concern for Huo Yu in his words, Guo Zhan'an would not have planned to give him a chance.

From his point of view, Boss Liu is a drunkard who is prone to reckless and bad things. If someone tricks him, not only Huo Yu will be in danger, but even himself will be implicated.But after thinking about it, in the past ten years or so, he and Huo Yu have been together day and night, and their relationship is not deep, if not deep.

Huo Yu was abandoned in the heavy snow when he was young. After Huo Dashan brought him back to the cottage, the people in the cottage took care of him more or less, and Guo Zhan'an was not stingy in return for them.

That being the case, give Boss Liu another chance and let him decide for himself.

After a while, Boss Liu really said: "I understand, thank you Mr. Guo for not killing me. After I go back today, I will take my mother-in-law out of here and go to the southwest."

Guo Zhanan achieved his goal, and generously took out a few banknotes and some broken silver from his wallet: "I gave these to Huo Yu, thank you for your care over the years, I will treat it as a way to go to the Southwest. Southwest, stop doing house robbery, and use the money to do some small business."

Boss Liu took it, put it away carefully, stopped talking, and ate the food in silence.

Until the two came out of the restaurant and walked in different directions, Boss Liu suddenly stopped Guo Zhanan and bowed to him: "Master Guo, Huo Yu is entrusted to you."

Guo Zhan'an looked at Boss Liu's black and white curly hair, and suddenly smiled: "Of course."
