The smell of sulfur still remains in the air. The smell of food coming from the steamer frying pan makes people move their fingers. It is said that the cooks are all invited from the city hotel.

There was a din of people, gongs and drums, chaos and excitement.

As soon as they arrived, they heard someone in the crowd shouting, "Chen Xiao! well! Here it is

Looking up, you can see that a table on the southwest side is full of young people of the same age as Chen Xiao. They are all friends of the same village. They haven't seen each other for many years.

"Go ahead, you young people have something to talk about."

After Chen Hu drives Chen Xiao away, he and Xu Xiulan are also separated. Those who have been to rural banquet all know that generally the old men are at the same table, drinking with each other, and women seldom mix in.

Chen Xiao and his friends at the table are all young friends who tell their own stories. Chen Xiao is also quiet and peaceful for a while.

However, after Chen Hu separated from Xu Xiulan, he chatted with some of his fellow villagers. Not long after that, he suddenly saw Liao Chenghao, the third son of the Liao family, a fat middle-aged man with a large waist, a bulging stomach and a big gold chain, standing on the platform and saying, "dear fellow villagers, I can't live without the care of my fellow villagers. We eat well and drink well. Please forgive me if we don't greet you well. "

Liao Chenghao said, below the crackling applause.

"Mr. Liao is worthy of being a man who does great things. He speaks well."

"Thank you for your hospitality!"

……

The sound of flattery makes Liao Chenghao's fat face blossom, and the atmosphere becomes more lively.

In the dining room, the Liao brothers, who would have been toasting at the table, came together and walked straight to Chen Hu.

"Look, Mr. Liao, they are coming towards us. What's the situation?" Asked the fellow next to Chen Hu.

Just as they were wondering, they approached. Liao Chengying, the eldest of the Liao family, a short, bald middle-aged man, raised his glass to Chen Hu and said, "brother tiger, how are you recently

Chen Hu was a little stunned. He felt flattered. He didn't expect that Liao Chengying, the speaker of the Liao family, would take the lead in toasting him. He quickly raised his hands and said, "thank you, Mr. Liao. Good, very good."

"Just keep fit." Liao Cheng Ying smiles a little, and then the conversation turns to a new direction. "Brother tiger, there is something I want to discuss with you."

"Ha ha, Mr. Liao, if you have anything to tell me, what to discuss or not."

Chen Husheng has little courage and is cautious.

"Old three, come on." Liao Chengying hands the words to Liao Chenghao.

Liao Chenghao immediately put a smile on his fat face and said, "well, our Liao family is also a famous family in our village. Under our management, Hetang village is also famous in minzhou city. So our brother thought about expanding our ancestral home. After thinking about it, I found that the ten mu of land at home was good, so I wanted to see if the big tiger brothers could give up their love and give us the ten mu of land. In the form of land sublease, the price is not at your expense. We'll pay you 5000 yuan at one time for 50 years. How about that? "

As soon as Chen Hu's face changed, his ten mu land was about two miles away from the house. Although the yield per mu is not high, there are several thousand yuan of income in a year. This Liao family wants to rent it for 50 years for only 5000 yuan. Isn't that a pitfall?

Chen Hu suffered a lot in his heart, but he didn't dare to offend the powerful Liao family. Why did he say: "my several acres of land are not high-yield land. How can Liao always look up to it? How about another place? "

"Well, we've seen it with my husband. Your geomantic omen is good, just your family." Liao Chenghao waved his hand and was as strong as a command.

"This..." Chen Hu can't find an excuse to refuse for a while.

Liao Cheng Hao's eyes narrowed and his smile faded away: "do you think the price is too low? In this way, I'll add another two thousand dollars, seven thousand dollars, will it turn? "

Chen Hu's face is more bitter. Seeing the momentum of the three brothers, he is determined to take his own land.

But for rural people, land is life. If they were given it, what would their family live on?

Chen Hu was silent, and Liao Chenghao suddenly said in a cold voice, "Chen Hu, don't be shameless. In Hetang village, as long as we Liao family want to do something, we can't do it. I give you money to look up to you. Believe it or not, I'll call you. Your land will be in my name tomorrow? "

Liao Chenghao is obviously bragging. If he can do it, will he discuss it with Chen Hu?

Chen Hu was so scared that he turned pale. He said in a panic: "it's not that I don't turn around, but that I still grow vegetables in the field. In the coming year, I can grow grain. It's a pity to build a house like this."

Liao Chenghao runs a bar and antique business in the city. The biggest Dragonfly bar in minzhou city is his business. He is usually reckless and unscrupulous. Unexpectedly, a mud legged boy in the countryside dares to disobey his own will and is still on his own territory in Hetang village.

"Chen Hu! Don't pretend to be honest with me. I don't know you are such a playboy? Don't be so stupid, grow crops? Believe it or not, I'll let you have nothing to eat tonightThe Liao family has a great reputation in Hetang village, and the rest of the people at the same table are afraid to speak.

Chen Hu was weak, but he was stubborn. He shook his head and said, "Mr. Liao, I can't turn. I'm sorry."

Liao Chenghao still roared. He was stopped by Liao Chengying and said with a fake smile, "since it can't turn, let's think of other ways and go."

The three turned and left, and a negotiation broke up.

After a meal, Chen Xiao saw that his father was uneasy and asked, "Dad, what's the matter with you. You look so pale? "

Chen Hu knows that his son is still famous in the city, but he may be dwarfed by the Liao family. He didn't dare to tell Chen Xiao about it. He was afraid that his son would collide with the Liao family on impulse. He just shook his head and said, "it's nothing. Maybe he drank too much."

Chen Xiao didn't ask any more questions, so the matter passed.

In the afternoon, Chen Xiao's family had guests.

Chen Hu's father has seven brothers. His father's third brother, the eldest brother's second brother, hasn't moved around all the year round, and has long been separated from each other.

And the fifth one, every two or three years, occasionally goes back and forth.

Chen huannian, the son of Chen Hu's fifth uncle, is slightly younger than Chen Hu and belongs to his cousin.

Chen huannian and his daughter-in-law ran Juwen drive a Toyota to Chen Xiao's house by his son Chen.

Compared with the previous years when they were empty handed and left after eating dry, this year the sun came out in the west, and Chen huannian's family came into the door with big and small bags of new year's goods in their hands.
