Little Bosses and Little Monsters

The courtyard of the village chief's house was the same as the others, the wooden door was only half-closed, and opened with a slight push.

The night in the mountains always comes in such a hurry, like an impatient driver, he suddenly stepped on the brakes before the pointer reached the place, and every house turned on the lights.

The old village chief and his boss, who were eating in the room, heard their native dog Ali rushing to the front yard barking all the way, so they rushed out to check the situation, only to open the door, and saw Ali running back towards him with his tail between his legs , Humming and chirping, hid behind the master and trembled.

The village chief and his wife: "..."

oops.

Tian Wang, who couldn't hold back his teeth when he heard the dog barking, also dodged behind Shu Jing, trying to hide his tall stature.

Shu Jing: "..."

Xu Ran and Hou Qing: I can only smile at this time.

Shu Jing, who decided to act as if nothing had happened, continued to speak their lines. The old village chief was a short, fat and kind old man, and he didn't care about his dog's abnormality, and kindly invited them in.

"Come on, if you don't mind, you can live in my house first. There is an empty room in my backyard. The conditions are not good, but it is clean."

The wife also warmly greeted them: "Please sit down, we are eating, you haven't eaten yet, come and eat together."

"Hurry up, my wife, and cook a few more dishes for the guests!"

"Hey, let's go."

Shu Jing was embarrassed to see the old man busy for them: "Don't bother, let's eat some dry food as you like, don't bother, ma'am."

The old village chief sat at the dining table, took out a bottle of wine, and replied casually: "Hey, what's the matter, isn't that what mothers do? Come on, let's have some wine. It's been a long time since I haven't had guests from Banqiao Village. It must be treated well."

"That's right, eat and drink well, I'll make it soon." The village chief's wife also echoed, they couldn't stop them, so they had to sit down.

The proprietress is right. Banqiao Village is indeed not rich. Even if the conditions of the village chief’s house are a little better, it will not be so poor. The old wooden furniture looks rough even if it is made by yourself. It was rounded and covered with wooden holes, the old couple sitting at the square table was not bad, but with the addition of their four big men, it was very difficult, Shu Jing and Tian Wang squeezed aside, Xu Ran had to make do with Hou Qing, and exchanged arms After slapping his arms, half of his buttocks were left outside the bench.

Tianwang sat uncomfortably, subconsciously twisted, Shu Jing sat out a little more, trying to give him more space, but was dragged back forcefully by Tianwang, Shu Jing raised his head and saw the boy's stubborn side face, and frowned , without much persistence.

Their atmosphere was harmonious, on the other side Hou Qing and Xu Ran almost pinched under the table.

The old village head is old and not very sensitive, he is still cheerfully refilling the wine for them. When Tianwang is in front of him, Shu Jing covers the wine glass: "My younger brother is still young and doesn't know how to drink, so forget it."

"The green red brewed by ourselves in our village has a low degree of alcohol, let's warm up a little bit."

"He's never drunk before, and he's afraid he'll cause you trouble if he gets drunk." Shu Jing was polite, but refused to budge.

Tianwang was actually quite envious of the sweet rice wine, but Shu Jing didn't agree, so he rejected the old village head.

Originally there was a plate of pickled vegetables and a plate of stir-fried vegetables on the table, but the village head’s wife filled them with meat and vegetables, which almost occupied the table.

The four of them took the chopsticks and ate with restraint.

"Where are you from?"

"Neighboring River City."

"Oh, that's pretty close, are you still studying?"

Hou Qing smiled: "You are joking, these two younger brothers are in school."

The old lady just couldn't resist the beautiful child, and the old woman was delighted when she saw Tian Wang, who was well-behaved, and Xu Ran, who was full of wit, and said, "The child is growing up really well now, with a nose and eyes, ouch. Come on!" Are you in high school yet?"

Obviously she is especially fond of Tian Wang, she takes Tian Wang's hand and strokes Le, who would have guessed that this obedient and beautiful boy is the culprit who scares her dog so much that she dare not bark.

Tianwang didn't even have to pretend to be good, he just smiled quietly at the old lady, which made the old lady want to be heartbroken.

Shu Jing answered for him: "My younger brother is in high school."

"Oh, what do the adults at home do?"

"My parents died young."

"Oh, see you, poor boy. Then you have suffered a lot in bringing up your brother. It's really not easy."

"It's okay, didn't you get over it? Why didn't you see your child?"

"Hey, my son went to play with his friends. He's just being skinny, and he doesn't stay at home for a moment. See how sensible your brother is, it's painful."

"It's better for the child to be more lively. Don't look at him as being obedient now, even if he gets stubborn, I can't do anything about him."

Tianwang suddenly withdrew his hand, hugged Shu Jing with a bear hug, and said pitifully, "I am obedient, so don't dislike me."

The old couple laughed loudly, Shu Jing touched the head in his arms, and said, "I know, you are the most obedient."

With a few words, she successfully shortened the distance with the village head and his wife, and the old woman looked at them as kindly as she looked at her own juniors.

To attack the old woman with a warm attack, and to conquer the old village head, it is up to Houqing. The two of you come and go with wine glasses. Hou Qing has a thousand-year drinking capacity. The village head poured water on him, but in fact Houqing was very good at Tai Chi. The two of them drank until the middle of the month, and the old village head was already blushing and talking with his tongue out.

Hou Qing put his shoulders on his shoulders, and looked like a pair of brothers who had forgotten their friendship. It seemed that their actions were bold and unrestrained, but in fact their complexion was calm and their eyes were clear.

"Uncle, why don't we hear that there are people going out to develop in our village? Don't young people want to go to the city to flex their muscles?"

"What is there to go to in the city? Your uncle and I were curious about it when we were young. We went down the mountain to see it. This city is good, but there are too many rules, so it's not a good time to stay. It's still comfortable in Banqiao Village. Ah, the scenery is beautiful, and the old people in our village live a long life!"

"What you said is true. If it weren't for my family and friends, I would like to move here for the rest of my life after seeing you!"

"Hahahaha, you are a good person! You are promising, have you found a partner? Which girl is lucky to follow you!"

Xu Ran chimed in: "Uncle, he doesn't have a date yet, please show me which girl in this village is suitable, and introduce him!"

Unexpectedly, the old village chief rubbed his chin in embarrassment: "Oh, this is not easy. To tell you the truth, in our village, all sons have been born, and no one has a daughter."

The four were stunned.

The old village head proudly said: "Amazing! So let me tell you that Banqiao Village is a blessed land. You can see the lake at the gate. It is the water from Fengzi Spring, which has nurtured dozens of generations of villagers. Drink it This spring water will be blessed by the ancestors, and the birth of a son will be guaranteed once in a lifetime!"

Xu Ran laughed awkwardly: "It's quite miraculous, there are no girls in that village, how do you guys solve the marriage problem?"

"What are you afraid of? Isn't it hard to find a wife? There are so many outside the village, and there are not many people in our village. It's not easy to marry one back?"

Xu Ran nodded blankly, always feeling that something was wrong.

"Uncle, we saw the name of our village in the newspaper two days ago. It said that there was an accident. A young couple died in an accident in a hotel near the village. Is there something wrong?" Shu Jing looked at the fire. up.

The old village chief seemed to be drinking too much, and he didn't hide it when he brought up this matter, and said angrily: "The woman in that family is a lunatic, how much trouble has she caused Qiangzi, hum, Qiangzi is kind, keep her, she Well, I will avenge my kindness! I don’t want to die, but I also dragged Qiangzi. Qiangzi’s parents are miserable. Follow along, and leave behind a five-year-old son, and I don't know how to live the days to come."

"What you said makes sense, but Yang Yueping has mental problems. Why didn't she get medical treatment early?"

"What?! I think she's just pretending, she doesn't want to work. The girls in this city are just lazy, and they don't do anything. If they want to be placed in our house, we have to clean up until she is honest! "

Can people pretend to be sick until they die together with their husbands?The smile on Xu Ran's face couldn't hold back.

Seeing that his wife was a little outspoken, the old woman pushed him and smiled awkwardly at them: "What are you talking about! Don't talk nonsense. Don't be surprised, he is unhappy, so he drank too much wine Just nonsense, that old couple have been his friends for many years, and Qiangzi had an accident, and he felt sorry for them."

You feel sorry for Qiangzi's death. That girl died so miserable, why didn't you mention it, don't they have parents?

The old woman stood up to put away the wine glass, but Hou Qing asked Hou Qing to hold it down.

"Auntie, it's okay! We won't go out and talk nonsense. Uncle is an honest person, and I think he's right! According to what you said, Qiangzi is really a good man. It's a pity to encounter such a thing. .”

The old woman sighed: "Who says it's not? It's really sad to mention it. You can drink it. Auntie went to wash the dishes."

She was carrying the leftover tableware, and Xu Ran took the opportunity to follow and help attentively.

Shu Jing then said to the drunken old village chief, "So that wife is from the city? How did Qiang Zi meet her?"

This time, the old village chief didn't answer for a long time, and after drinking two drinks for himself, he said slowly: "Then who knows, Qiangzi met when he went to work at the foot of the mountain."

Tianwang asked: "Master, that old couple is so pitiful, can I visit them tomorrow?"

Later, he gave Tianwang a thumbs up with his eyes. If he and Shu Jing mentioned this, it would inevitably make people suspicious, but Tianwang, a half-grown child, looked like he didn't understand anything, and said such soft-hearted and innocent words, It is convincing.

Sure enough, the old village head didn't think too much, and even touched Tianwang's head: "You are a good boy, his family lives not far away, so I went out along the lake and walked to the left to the last house, but I don't know if they would like to Willing to meet outsiders."

"It's okay, sir. Let's go and see if there is anything we can do to help. If their family doesn't want to see you, forget it."

Speaking of which, you can stop here, Shu Jing took a look at the sky, and helped the old village chief who was staring in a daze: "It's getting late, you should go to bed early, and we will chat with you tomorrow."

The old lady chased after wiping her hands: "Hey, don't bother you, I'll do it, I'll do it."

She helped the old village head back to the room in the backyard, and pointed to a hut next to her, "you can live there. That's my son's room. It's all tidied up. It's getting late and you should go to bed early, Auntie." I won’t entertain you anymore, just call me if you need anything.”

"Enen, thank you." Shu Jing replied with a smile.

They looked around the small courtyard. The room where the old couple lived was in the middle, and the old woman on the left let their room be connected with another small house to form an independent one-story house.

The door of the other room was locked, and the old lady saw them looking at the room before she finally entered the room, and said, "It's where my house piled up sundries, it's very messy, so don't go in, lest you get your clothes dirty."

"Ok."

The old couple’s son’s room continued the simple style, with only a bed and an old-fashioned wardrobe. Fortunately, the bed was made by ourselves, not a standard bed, and it was bigger than the ones sold outside. Four people can sleep sideways just enough to squeeze in. It's just that with their size, their feet have to hang outside.

The old woman should have come in and made preparations in advance. There were two quilts on the bed, which happened to be shared by two people.

Xu Ran stared at the quilt with an ugly expression.

"Are you so reluctant to sleep with me, kid?"

"Of course, you smelly hard old zombie, what's the fun sleeping with you."

"Hey, that's not the point. Di Jiang is also old and tough. I think if it was him, you would be very happy."

Hou Qing wanted to tease him, but Xu Ran nodded openly and said, "Yes, I would be happy if it was Di Jiang. Not only am I happy, I'm also very happy."

"..." Hou Qing was choked up.

This time, it was compared to the soil.

Tianwang was most happy to see Hou Qing deflated, and laughed on the spot without losing face.

Although they could be squeezed in, it was really difficult. The four of them were not small in stature, they shrank their hands and feet and dared not move, and they couldn't sleep well.

Among them, Tianwang is the most comfortable, as soon as he got into bed, he hugged Shu Jing tightly, and the two of them almost folded into one person, staring at Xu Ran as a single dog.

He knew that Tian Wang slept with Shu Jing before, but he didn't expect Tian Wang to take human form, and Shu Jing let him be with him.

It's just that the other three looked very natural, and it seemed that he made a fuss. Xu Ran secretly slandered that Cheng could play, and quickly grabbed the bed next to Tianwang, leaving the smallest space for Hou Qing.
