Chapter Twelve
Yang Jiuwa helped Li Mingqiu quit smoking and said to Li Mingqiu: "In today's society, heroes are everywhere in troubled times. I heard that the area in Jiangxi has become the world of the Communist Party. Liu Zidan and Xie Zichang in northern Shaanxi also took up the gun to make a splash. No matter whether it is the underworld or the white road, everyone
It is human nature. If a man wants to carve out his own world in society, he must learn to control himself. He must quit smoking. Once he quits, he cannot smoke again. He must properly control his prostitution and must not indulge in it. In order to
It's not worth it for a bad actor to fall out with Guo Mazi, and his plans are for the world. After you return to Fengqi, the first thing you have to do is to do everything you can to build a good relationship with Guo Mazi, and first gain Guo Mazi's trust..."
Li Mingqiu listened in confusion, not sure who Yang Jiuwa was, but he felt that the man with a broken arm in front of him was no ordinary bandit.
A bunch of gangsters heard that Li Mingqiu was back and came to Li Mingqiu's door together to help him. Unexpectedly, the door was closed tightly. The butler opened it and only half of his head was exposed and said: "The master said he was tired and wanted to rest."
"You guys should go back for a few days and come back in a few days." The gangsters were bored and dejected one by one. They gathered in the Donkey Tavern to make trouble. After a while, Li Mingqiu's housekeeper came in and went straight into the backyard and bought a basket of food.
, went out through the back door, and everyone guessed, who would Li Mingqiu invite?
In fact, Li Mingqiu invited no one but his uncle. Manxiang cooked several dishes in person. Li Mingqiu opened a bottle of Xifeng wine. His uncle had a cigarette pouch on his waist and shouted as soon as he entered the door: "Mingqiu, you are back!"
Let uncle see if my baby has been wronged?"
Li Mingqiu smiled heartily: "We tigers are famous for not eating people, but the person who has wronged us has not yet come to this world!"
The couple personally asked their uncle to sit down. Li Mingqiu picked up the wine glass and put it down. He left the house and opened the door. Everyone was surprised. They didn't know what Li Mingqiu was going to do. After a while, they saw someone shouting in the yard. When he looked around, it turned out that Li Mingqiu had gone to the next door.
My cousin and sister-in-law were invited to the yard.
Li Mingqiu invited the butler to sit down with him, raised his wine glass to his uncle first, and then filled it with incense.
Everyone was a little strange. There was a sun shining in the sky in the west! Tie Abacus was surprised at first, and then he was relieved. He felt that it was worth it for his nephew to offer his wife a glass of wine! Seeing the full fragrance, he did not refuse, picked up the wine glass and half-covered his face with his sleeves.
Lift your neck and drink it all in one gulp.
Suddenly inspiration came to Ruanmo, he filled a glass of wine, and instead of respecting his father, he followed the example of his brother Mingqiu and respected his wife. Look at her mouth open, her nose flowing across the river and onto her chest, she looked so funny.
This made people laugh. Zhuye was so embarrassed that he covered his face with his hands and refused to accept Ruanmo's toast no matter what. But Tiebaoban showed the magnanimity and tolerance of an elder and said to his son and daughter-in-law: "Baby,
When you serve this glass of wine, it looks like the soft bun has become spiritual, which is a great blessing for our family."
Zhuye took the wine and in turn paid tribute to his father. It could be seen that Tie Baopan's hand that took the wine was trembling. The moment he drank the wine, he burst into tears.
Li Mingqiu sighed with emotion: "Uncle, don't set up a stall anymore. If you need anything, just open your mouth and I will feed you." But the iron abacus said: "I'm not worried about myself, I'm worried about Ruanmo. A hundred years from now
I have to rely on my nephews and family to take care of my soft buns.”
Manxiang continued: "Uncle, don't worry, we will let our brothers eat whatever we eat." Ruanmo laughed and said, "Sister-in-law, you don't want to teach me how to have sex, but I have already learned it. Sex is civilized.
What people call it, farmers call it 'Sun', and it's really a good day to get up on that day."
The housekeeper covered his mouth and ran out of the house. Li Mingqiu just took a mouthful of food and spat it out again. Zhuye cried and left the table to go back to his room. Manxiang helped his sister-in-law to his dormitory and persuaded her.
Crying with the bamboo leaves.
It was originally a festive family banquet, but it turned out that everyone was in a state of disgrace, and all the colors were gone from their faces. Tie Baanpan smiled bitterly in front of Li Mingqiu: "My dear nephew, tell me, I will treat this silly son
What to do?”
Li Mingqiu pondered for a while and said: "Uncle, I think this brother has improved a lot compared to the past. There is a hospital run by foreigners in Chang'an that gives patients foreign medicine and injections. If you can help Ruanmo to take care of himself, go to Chang'an.
It’s worth it too”.
Iron Abacus asked tentatively: "That might cost a lot of money"?
Li Mingqiu said: "Let's discuss the money issue slowly."
Faced with a table full of good meat and vegetables, Ruanmo didn't care and ate until his mouth was full of oil. After eating, he shook his head and left the table.
After dinner, the butler set up a small table on the Kang as usual. On the table was a pipe, a good-quality smoke, lit an alcohol lamp, and then left the door ajar, because the housekeeper knew that at this time every day, Li Mingqiu would smoke.
One bite.
Sitting on the edge of the Kang, Li Mingqiu felt an impulse and temptation well up in his heart. Li Mingqiu did not stop the butler when he placed the utensils, indicating that he still had that desire in his subconscious. The hallucination caused by heavy smoke can make people temporarily excited.
, he climbed onto the kang almost unconsciously, rubbed the cigarette paste finely, put it into the bong, pointed it at the alcohol lamp and blew the bubbles, he suddenly sat up, stretched out his palm, and slapped himself hard twice.
, then stretched out his legs and pushed the kang table and the pipe under the kang.
Manxiang heard the noise and hurried into the house. When she saw this scene, she felt excited. It seemed that she had gained a lot in the past ten days. What kind of god did Li Mingqiu meet outside? He could actually help her husband quit smoking! In Manxiang's view, Li Mingqiu
She was hopeless. She had no choice but to accept her fate when she married a chicken, a dog, and a dog. She was so lazy that having three children would not make her life too lonely. Manxiang silently cleaned up the broken utensils and burned them.
A pot of hot water, and then told her husband: wipe yourself and go to bed early. After saying that, he returned to the east side room where he lived, closed the door, and recited Tang poetry with his three children.
Suddenly Manxiang heard a knock on the door. The sound was so clear that she couldn't remember when it started. It seemed that centuries had passed. Manxiang was suffering in loneliness. Every night she could always hear the sound of the West Tower house.
The bitch moaned softly. She and Mingqiu were a couple in name only. For many years, they had been harmonious during the day when they met. Almost everyone knew that Li Mingqiu had a good wife. She was smart, beautiful and virtuous. Who had ever experienced being a widow?
How does it feel?! Tonight, the old lady’s door was finally knocked by her husband. Her heart was beating wildly and her throat was a little smokey. Should she relive the wedding night? Manxiang jumped off the kang, and when she was about to open the door, her hand
After shaking for a while, a trace of sadness surged in my heart: Is this the discovery of the husband's conscience or out of temporary pity?
The door still opened, even though there was a moment of hesitation, it was impossible for the wife not to open the door to her husband who was outside. Maybe it was because Mingqiu, who had just taken a shower and quit smoking, looked so energetic and handsome, and an old sesame oil lamp made a crisp sound.
The three children stared at their father with horrified eyes. Although their father was very kind to them and never hit them, they always had some differences with their father and were afraid of that father in their hearts.
Li Mingqiu looked at the strange looks of mother and son, and felt a little guilty. Yes, this was his home! He bolted the door himself, took off his shoes, got on the kang, crossed his legs, and flicked off the sesame oil lamp.
With the wick on the lamp, the room was a little brighter, and Man Xiang was still standing on the ground, looking hesitant and unfamiliar. She was four years older than Ming Qiu. Women's families age faster when they hit their thirties, and men from rich families don't.
Three wives and four concubines! The eldest wife only had a false reputation and was thrown into the cold palace after giving birth to a child. Manxiang's fate was relatively good. She and Li Mingqiu had three children. People can't stay young forever, they can only watch helplessly.
She asked her husband to bring the other bad women back to the house. Tonight, the husband she had entrusted with her life was sitting on her kang, which made Manxiang feel a little at a loss.
Manxiang took off the clothes of the three children and coaxed them into bed. The children glanced at their father and quickly covered their heads with quilts. They giggled with each other. It felt fresh and interesting. Yes, in the children's memories
Here, Dad has never been on Mom's kang. Mingqiu was a little moved, tugging on the children's quilts and touching their heads. The children were hiding and hiding, living happily, and the room was filled with the warmth of home.
The house was spotless, and all the utensils were placed neatly and orderly. When Manxiang got married, her father Twelve spent all he had to prepare a generous dowry for his daughter. Dozens of young men carried the dowry in Fenghuang.
Living on the street shows off, making people feel dignified and beautiful. After the death of her father-in-law, Manxiang should move to the upper house, but Manxiang felt that there were often people coming to the upper house, so she insisted on living in the east side house, which is the lively part of this building.
There is a pure place in the compound, except for visitors from her parents’ family, ordinary guests have never entered. Even though Mudanhong has been living with Li Mingqiu in this courtyard for more than a year, she has never entered the eldest wife’s home-sharing house, which is full of fragrance.
His neither humble nor arrogant attitude is intimidating to everyone.
The children played for a while and fell asleep. The lamp oil dried up and the room gradually became darker. Man Xiang had no desire to add more lamp oil, letting the darkness cover up her inner anxiety. A spark struggled in the dark night for a long time.
Time finally extinguished helplessly. Manxiang stood on the ground for a long time, trembling and climbed onto the kang. Suddenly, two strong arms hugged her tightly, and her body fell softly. The piece of land
It had been deserted for a long time, and when I started plowing again, I felt a burning pain, without a trace of pleasure. I just felt that my heart was stung by a bee, but Na Mingqiu was deliberately making up for past mistakes, pouring enthusiasm into Manxiang, and felt that although his wife was older than him
How old he is, the muscles all over his body are still full of elasticity. Maybe he has slept with too many women, and he just uses women as a tool to vent. But tonight, Mingqiu clearly felt the difference. His wife did not moan like that.
, there are no exaggerated shouts, no violent storms, just like the spring breeze blowing on your face, a ship sailing smoothly in the vast sea, feeling peaceful, peaceful and infinitely comfortable.
Shang Xuan Yue got into the window and stayed motionless against the wall. The children were talking gibberish in their sleep. Neither of them were sleepy. It was like returning from an expedition. Li Mingqiu felt peaceful. Suddenly, Man Xiang asked: "Ming Qiu, can you
"Can you tell me, what kind of master did you meet during your trip this time?"
Li Mingqiu was shocked. In Fengqi, it is taboo for a wife to call her husband by his first name. But Li Mingqiu felt cordial. He hugged his wife tightly and asked, "Do you feel that I am different from the past?"
Man Xiang made no secret: "I am surprised that you can quit smoking."
Li Mingqiu suddenly said: "I've been really sorry for you over the years."
Man Xiang was a little touched, and her body became warm. For a woman, marriage is a cup of ecstasy. Once she drinks it, she treats a man as the person she has entrusted to her for life. The grudges in the past disappear instantly, and Man Xiangrui becomes a lofty tent.
A snake inside! She clung to Mingqiu like a snake, put her ear against Mingqiu and said: "I still want to... do it again."
The belly of Ruanmo's daughter-in-law, Zhuye, is getting bigger gradually, which makes Tie Abacus unexpected. It seems that Ruanmo has that kind of function. Someone will inherit the Li family's incense, but outsiders don't see it that way. Even Li Mingqiu thinks that
The seeds were sown by the uncle. This made Tie Abacus wronged, but he could not clear himself. Anyway, the meat rotted in a pot, and the child was guaranteed not to be anyone else's. Ten months later, Zhuye gave birth to a son, who was one month old.
At that time, Tie Abacus no longer made any big extravagance and only invited his nephew's family and his daughter and son-in-law. Unexpectedly, Guo Shanren prepared a generous gift and delivered it to Tie Abacus's home in person. Tie Abacus had no choice but to leave Guo Shanren at home for dinner. During the dinner, Guo Shanren wanted to ask Li Mingqiu.
When apologizing, I didn't expect that Li Mingqiu seemed very generous. He said: "Brothers are like brothers and sisters, and women are like clothes. When clothes are worn out, they can be replaced. Broken brothers and sisters will regret it for life. Don't mention the past again."
