Chen Ermao bowed respectfully to Chen Xiaobei, "Chief, I, I am Ermao."
Before Chen Xiaobei could speak, Lidong next to him asked, "Er Mao, what do you want when you come back?"
Chen Ermao's expression suddenly became sad, and tears flowed down.
"Brother Lidong, my father and mother died halfway."
"The officials allowed me to go home and observe mourning for three years."
Hearing this, Chen Xiaobei's heart was greatly troubled.
Chen Ermao's family raised three tigers, and they even used the pot to cook them.
His sudden return caught me a little off guard.
Lidong obviously understood the current situation very well, and he nodded slightly.
"Oh, that's right. There have been some changes in the village recently. Your family has now..."
But Chen Ermao suddenly said first, "I know, my father said that my home will be given to Brother Xiaobei."
this.
Chen Xiaobei suddenly felt that he was taking advantage of others.
"Okay, as long as you know, you can stay in the two rooms in the big locust tree first, and I will arrange a place for you later." After saying that, Lidong gave Chen Xiaobei a look.
Chen Xiaobei also nodded hurriedly and said, "Yes, yes, you can stay here first and we'll talk about the rest later."
After hearing Chen Xiaobei's statement, Chen Ermao suddenly bowed deeply to Chen Xiaobei and said, "Thank you, Chief Xiaobei, for taking me in. When the three years are up, I will report to the government office again."
"Okay, you stay here first, and we'll talk about the rest later."
Chen Xiaobei waved to the Hu Village team members to take Chen Ermao to rest.
Watching him go away, Lidong couldn't help but sigh, "Oh, it's your own fault that you can't live without. If you think about all the efforts to put yourself to death, who would have thought that this family would end up like this."
Chen Xiaobei nodded, "Yes, as the saying goes, those who do evil will be punished by death. After I move, I will move the three tigers to my house and free up his house for him."
Lidong looked really surprised, "I told you that I would give it to you."
"The premise of giving it to me at that time was that they might not come back from exile, but now that Ermao is back, we have to arrange a place for him. It is not suitable for such a big man to live in a few houses of the village guards.
.”
When Chen Xiaobei returned home, Cui Hongyu, Huang Ying and Shen Ziyan had already prepared dinner.
A few people began to have dinner in a lively manner.
While eating, Chen Qiaoer suddenly blinked her eyes and said, "Sister Ziyan, you are so beautiful."
The sudden words made Shen Ziyan a little confused.
She is relatively reserved and introverted and is not used to being praised in public, let alone in front of a man.
Huang Ying, on the other hand, looked at Chen Qiaoer with a smile on her face.
"Little girl, what do you want to say?"
Chen Qiaoer chuckled, "Sister Huang Ying, you are so beautiful."
Huang Ying was in a good mood, and she deliberately put on a face, "Tell me, what are your evil intentions?"
Chen Qiaoer was so anxious that she shook her little hands wildly, "No, no, I don't have any bad intentions. I mean, if we stay like this forever, it would be great to have dinner together as a family."
Tong Yan Wuji's words made Huang Ying blush a little. She glanced at Chen Xiaobei and suddenly stood up.
"I'm full, I'm going back first."
After saying that, she pulled Shen Ziyan and said, "Let's go back."
Suddenly the atmosphere became awkward. Cui Hongyu also realized that something was wrong and quickly pulled Huang Ying away and then turned to look at Qiaoer.
"Sister Qiao'er, don't say this nonsense. In the future, your sister Huang Ying and sister Zi Yan will get married. Do you understand?"
Chen Qiaoer looked at Cui Hongyu, then at Zi Yan and Huang Ying with a confused look.
"Why not? If you are married, you can't have dinner with Qiaoer?"
Hearing his words, Shen Ziyan and Huang Ying looked at each other, with a relaxed look on their faces.
Huang Ying stared at Chen Xiaobei and said, "Fortunately, you didn't teach me this. If you did, I would smash your head."
What Chen Xiaobei said in his heart, I didn’t even have time to hide from you, yet I dared to teach Chen Qiaoer to say these things.
"Miss Huang Ying, don't get me wrong, eat and eat."
Chen Xiaobei finished eating three times, five by two, and then went into the house as soon as he put away the bowls and chopsticks. The firecrackers should be almost ready after a few days in the sun. He had to experiment. He took an awl and poked a hole in the paper tube. Then thread the lead wire in again.
After making three in a row, Chen Xiaobei put on the fire dumplings, left the yard, and still came to the river outside the village.
After polishing the fuse and lighting the fuse, Chen Xiaobei took a few steps back and heard a muffled bang behind him.
After winning the first battle, Chen Xiaobei's confidence greatly increased.
At this time, Cui Hongyu, Shen Ziyan, Huang Ying and others who heard the noise also ran out.
Chen Qiaoer even asked loudly, "Brother, brother, what is that? Why is it so loud?"
Chen Xiaobei shook the fire seal in his hand and said, "Don't come over here, there are still more."
Chen Xiaobei clicked another one. This time he ran further. The last time it hurt his ears.
"Bang," there was another sound, followed by a burst of fire, and Chen Qiaoer clapped her hands happily.
"Okay, it looks good."
After Chen Xiaobei released all three, he returned to Cui Hongyu and the others in a hurry.
Cui Hongyu's face was filled with joy, "Husband, does this count as done?"
Chen Xiaobei nodded, "It's half done, I'll make a few more tonight."
Huang Ying looked at Chen Xiaobei in surprise, "You know how to make fried fire."
"Exploding fire?" Chen Xiaobei was still very surprised by the name.
"Oh, you said this is called explosive fire?"
"Yes, yes, my master said that there is something that can explode when ignited. That's what you are talking about."
After speaking, he quickly stepped forward and took hold of Chen Xiaobei's arm, "My master has been studying it for many years but has not been able to make it yet. Can you teach me?"
Chen Xiaobei was confused. Just now he was looking at him with a fierce look, but now he suddenly turned into a little girl.
But now I am also in the experimental stage, "Sister Huang Ying, it's not that I don't want to teach you and me. This is just an experiment. After I do more and feel that I can stabilize it, can I teach you again?"
"Okay, okay, whenever you do it again, I can help you." Huang Ying said eagerly.
At this time, Cui Hongyu stepped forward, gently pulled Huang Ying and comforted him, "Sister Huang Ying, don't worry, just come and help when your husband does it. I agreed for him."
Chen Xiaobei had a look of astonishment on his face. When did Cui Hongyu make the decision for him? But looking at Cui Hongyu's half-smiling look, Chen Xiaobei vaguely felt that there was something in his words.
When Huang Ying returned home, she was just like a follower. He would go wherever Chen Xiaobei went.
Chen Xiaobei took a few more firecrackers, connected them with silver wire in the middle, and then wrapped them tightly with a piece of paper outside.
It's made like two kicks.
Huang Ying was a little stunned when she saw this scene.
"Brother Xiaobei, why are you connecting the two of them?"
