Chapter 33 Chapter Thirty-Three

Lanterns were hung in Siwei Building, and colored silk was knotted, creating a festive atmosphere.In the restaurant, there are birthday cases and birthday couplets posted.Zhu Kaishan's sixty-sixth birthday banquet was so grand. After drinking for three rounds, Shao Jing was a little drunk, and said to Zhu Kaishan, "Old man, as a junior, I would like to ask you a question." He pointed to the light on his head and said, "What is this?" Na Wen said: "Electric light, you don't have to ask, you're too drunk." Shao Jing asked Na Wen, "Where does the electricity come from, do you know?" Yu Shu continued, "Ask me—— Power plant!" Shaojing asked Yushu, "How does the power plant generate electricity?" Yushu said, "Steam turbines." Shaojing asked again, "Where does the steam come from?" Xiu'er said, "This is my You know, steam, isn’t it the steam that comes from boiling water?” Shao Jing said, “What is the water used to boil?” Zhu Kaishan burst out a word: “Coal.” Shao Jing clapped happily The table said: "Coal! Yes, the old man has a good idea. Right now, it is the industrial age, and coal is indispensable for everything, whether it is building a city or opening a factory, what do you say..."

Zhu Kaishan waved his hand and stopped him with a smile, and said, "Shaojing, I understand, you're going around the corner talking about opening a mine and persuading me to invest, right? You open a coal mine, and the Zhu family doesn't do anything. Well, let me hire a Chuanjie here to be your helper, it’s okay if it’s justified!" Shao Jing said: "Old man, don’t underestimate the matter of opening a coal mine. There are three major coal mines in China, Fushun The coal mines are now being snatched by the Japanese, let alone the Kailuan Coal Mine in Rehe and the Zaozhuang Coal Mine in Shandong. Do you know who has invested in them? If you name two, you will be scared to the ground——Li Yuanhong, Xu Shichang, They are all people who have been the president of the Republic of China!" Zhu Kaishan smiled and said: "We can't compare with such a big person." Shao Jing said: "Then let's talk about the small people, the big and small shopkeepers on our street Compared with the president of the Republic of China, he should be a small person! But this time, who is not rushing to join the Shanhe Mine? Chuanjie, my third brother, is he even a small person in front of your eyes? In order to run the mine, he put four Weilou is all bet on..." Zhu Kaishan was startled and said, "What did you say?" Shaojing suddenly realized that he had missed his words, so he faltered and said, "I mean... third brother, that day you How did you tell me?"

Chuanjie hurriedly took over the conversation and said, "Father, that day, everyone discussed investing in the establishment of Shanhe Mine. I said I had to ask my father about this matter. If my father agrees, there will be no problem even if the Siwei Building is bet on." Chuanjie turned to Shao Jing again and said, "Shao Jing, my father didn't agree to this matter, can you talk nonsense like that?" Shao Jing smiled awkwardly, and said, "I drank too much, I drank too much. Old man, I'll punish myself with a drink." .” Shengzi ran over from nowhere, raised a cup and said, "Grandpa, grandpa, I'm here to respect you: you are blessed like the East China Sea, and your life is longer than Nanshan." Shaojing said, "Shengzi, whether your set of words is good or not is too It's a bit old." Shengzi said with a small neck, "It's too old, so I'll get a new one, I just learned it last night." Nawen said, "Shengzi, go away. This is not where you talk." Shengzi didn't listen to the text, pointed at Zhu Kaishan, and said: "This old man is not human." The people at the table were all shocked, and the guests on the street were even more bluffed.I only heard Shengzi say again: "He is a god who descended to the mortal world." Everyone laughed, and Qi Zan Shengzi was smart.Yushu said: "What about next?" Shengzi said: "The son and daughter are all thieves." Everyone was stunned again, and Shao Jing said: "Shengzi, you scolded yourself!" When the birthday peach came, he knelt down to Zhu Kaishan, offered the birthday peach, and said loudly: "I stole the flat peach and present it to my dearest relatives!"Xiu'er asked Shengzi, "Shengzi, who did you learn from?" Wen Ta Niang said, "Who else can you learn from, your sister-in-law."

The birthday banquet was over, several children surrounded Zhu Kaishan and Wen Tainiang, and sent the old couple into the room.Seeing his children leaving, Zhu Kaishan said: "Mother Wen, didn't you notice that the Siwei Building started to shake?" Mrs. Wen said, "You have drunk too much and your feet are weak." Zhu Kaishan said : "You don't believe it, do you? Open your eyes wide, just wait and see!" Chuanjie, Nawen, Xiu'er, and Yushu quietly entered Chuanjie's room again.Chuanjie said: "The old man is determined not to get involved in the mining, what shall we do next?" Xiu'er said: "Talk to Dad about the mortgage of the Siwei Building earlier, we can handle this matter in the first place. I don't think about it." Yushu complained: "I don't complain about anything, it's just that our father is old!" Na Wen said: "It's not going to end well now. Our father is also strange, why can't we wake up to such a good thing Are you gone?" Chuanjie said, "I see, there is only one way, and that is to keep it a secret, not to tell our parents, nor to my elder brother, sister-in-law, do you think this will work?" Xiu'er interrupted and said: "Didn't hide it, when will it be a head?" Na Wen said: "I think the idea of ​​the third child will work! Didn't Xiu'er ask when it will be a head? As long as we don't leak the news, the old man will have to find out the details." One day. At that time, the coal mine will be established and booming, and the old man will be happy when he brings in big bags of money all day long? At that time, he will be tall! Maybe, the old man will be able to put on a banquet to thank us for our foresight , I've placed a big bet on it!"

The text went back to her room, and sent a text asking her, "Where did you go?" The text said, "Didn't you send our father and mother to rest?" "Are you old, or have you lost face?" Chuanwen pointed to Nawen's chest and said, "Your heart has changed. What are you messing with Chuanjie all day long? Pretend I don't know?" Nawen spat at him. He said at once: "What do you mean? Why are Chuanjie and I messing around? You are not at home these days, and there are some things that we can't discuss together? It's like messing around with your stinky mouth, bah! Fortunately, you are relatives. Brother, if it were someone else, you wouldn’t know what kind of dung you would spit out!” Chuanwen said, “Don’t talk nonsense, to be honest, did Chuanjie mortgage Siweilou?” Nawen was startled, But deliberately put on Chuanwen's face and said: "Yes, it's a mortgage! I also made ten bags of silver, and I told Chuanjie and I to hide it. I won't tell you where I hid it, unless you put my tooth It's all broken."

Chuanwen touched the ashes on the nose, turned around, undressed and went to bed alone.Na Wen loosened his clothes, moved closer to him, said with a smile on his face, "I see you have lost weight and darkened these days." Chuan Wen said: "I'm tired, I went back to my hometown and repaired the house, and opened the grave. "Nawen said: "tonight, let me reward you well. Chuanwen, can my wife be with you?" Chuanwen listened to his wife's words, and the unhappiness in his heart seemed to be ironed out. , Unconsciously, my heart was in full bloom, and I was tender with that text.Nawen took advantage of the situation and said: "Even if my wife did something behind your back, you shouldn't take it to heart." Chuanwen pushed her away and said, "So, you still did something behind my back?" Nawen smiled and said, "What do you think? Who hasn't hidden a small teapot in their heart?" Chuanwen shook his head and said, "No, you have to break that small teapot. Let me see what's inside?" Said: "Don't look, the things inside are all for you, for our family." Chuanwen said: "How do you say this?" The text said: "The property of the Zhu family will not be yours in the future. It’s up to you!” Chuanwen said, “That’s right, our father made this clear on this trip back to my hometown.”

Early the next morning, Yushu went to the backyard and saw Xiuer helping the guys choose vegetables.Yushu leaned over and said, "Second sister-in-law, you are really hardworking. You have been here early in the morning. Let's go, I have something to tell you." Then he picked up Xiu'er and left.Xiu'er said: "Tell me what you are doing." Yushu said: "Go back to the house and change your clothes. I will show you to my school today." Xiu'er said: "I am not a child. I go to school. What are you going to see?" Yushu said: "You're not bored when you stay at home all the time? Let's relax!"

Xiu'er agreed, went back to the house and changed into the cheongsam that Chuanwu had brought back, and followed Yushu out beamingly.Nawen came out of the dining room and greeted him, "Xiu'er, you're really dressed up as an official wife. Where are you going?" Xiu'er smiled and said, "Yushu told me to go to school with her." Nawen said: "What are you going there for?" Yushu said with a smile, "Ask Xiuer to be a teacher." Xiuer said, "Don't listen to her, just go and have a look." Nawen said, "Okay, go out for a walk." Going away is better than staying at home."

Chuanwen also got up, met Yushu and Xiu'er, looked at them suspiciously, greeted them, and muttered in his heart again, turned around and went into his parents' room.Chuanwen saw that his parents were all there, and said in a low voice: "Father, mother, I have to tell you something." His mother Wen said, "It's so early in the morning, what's the matter? You're so shocked " Chuanwen said: "Father, mother, what did Chuanjie and the others appoint to do behind our backs!" Wen Taniang said: "As for it? Didn't Chuanjie explain everything about the mortgage of Siweilou yesterday? Chuanwen said: "Last night, that Wen told me that she and Chuanjie were behind my back. She never said such a thing, isn't that disturbing?"

Zhu Kaishan asked Chuanwen, "Boss, what do you think about this matter?" Chuanwen analyzed: "The third child can't change his mouth; that Wen said that he would not tell the truth unless his teeth were knocked out. ; Yushu and the third child are of the same mind, let's not think about it." Zhu Kaishan said: "What is your idea?" Chuanwen said: "Father, just looking at it now, I think anyone who can speak the truth That’s Xiu’er.” Mother Wen said, “Then I’ll ask Xiu’er?” Chuan Wen said, “Wait a minute, I just saw Yushu dragging Xiu’er out of the house. Think about it, Xiu’er Where is my son's temper like this, I don't know what's going on!"

In the corridor outside the school's music classroom, Xiu'er stared into the classroom through the window.In the classroom, the teacher is playing the piano and teaching the students to sing a soothing and sad song.The teacher sings, and the students sing along: do you know who you are Do you know that time is like water? Do you know how much sadness the autumn wind brings? Blow, blow... Xiu'er couldn't help but burst into tears.Yu Shu came out from another classroom and asked, "What's the matter, Second Sister-in-law?" Xiu Er said softly, "What song is this called?" Yu Shu said, "The song is called "Question". What?" Yushu said, "Didn't you hear that word? It's all about how people should live their lives." Xiu'er said, "How should we live, shall we decide?" Yushu said: "How do you say it doesn't count? We have to decide!" Xiu'er shook her head and sighed deeply. Xiuer and Yushu come back from school.Na Wen hurriedly went up to him and said, "Xiu'er, our mother came looking for you as soon as you went out this morning." Yu Shu said, "What's the matter?" " Xiu'er said: "No way? If you want to ask, you have to ask Chuanjie!" Nawen said: "Anyway, be careful, you can't tell if you are killed!" Xiu'er said: "Got it." Xiu'er and Yushu went upstairs and entered Xiu'er's room, but they saw Mrs. Wen sitting by the bed, and Chuanwen standing beside her.Both Xiu'er and Yushu were taken aback, Yushu said: "Mother, why are you here?" Chuanwen said: "Yushu, where did you take Xiuer to this day?" Yushu said: "I Take the second sister-in-law to school to have a look." Wen Ta Niang said: "What did you see?" Xiu Er said: "Mom, there is nothing to see. Just watch the children run and listen to the children singing. " Mother Wen saw Xiu'er wearing that fashionable cheongsam, and said with a cold smile, "Your dress is quite bright, so you bought it?" Xiu'er said, "It was brought back by Chuanwu that day." His mother said: "Oh, I love you in front of my mother. It turns out that Chuanwu also has you in his heart!" Xiu'er said: "Mother, I know!" He walked around and said, "Do you still know? Mother, you don't know!" Yu Shu said, "Mother, read what you said." Wen Ta Niang said, "How can you hide such a big thing from mother? Huh?" Yushu said, "Mother, what did the second sister-in-law hide from you?" Chuanwen said, "The third daughter-in-law, our mother is asking Xiuer!" Xiuer said, "Mother, what do you want to ask?" ?” Wen Ta Niang said: “You know what Mother wants to ask!” That Wen came in from the outside and said with a loud laugh: "Oh, his second aunt, when did you wear such an outfit! Mother, does she look like the person in the painting?" Wen's mother said: "Shut up." Zui, let me ask Xiuer something!" The text said, "Mother, the sky hasn't collapsed, and the ground hasn't collapsed, why are you so stern?" Chuanwen said, "Then Wen, can you go out first? "Nawen said: "We girls are talking here, what are you doing? Tell me to go out!" Wen Ta Niang said: "Boss daughter-in-law, third daughter-in-law, you both go out to me." Na Wen said: "Mother, what's important? You still avoid the two of us." Yu Shu said: "Yes, what do you have to say? Tell us to listen too?" Wen Ta Niang stared and said, "Go out, did you hear?" Nawen and Yushu had no choice but to leave in despair.Wen Ta Niang said: "Xiu'er, to be honest with Mother, has Siwei Lou been released?" Xiu'er said: "Later I couldn't beat them." Wen Ta Niang asked: "After all, the Siwei Building was mortgaged, right?" Xiu'er bowed her head and remained silent.The text said: "Xiu'er, let's tell mother the truth. In this family, isn't mother the one who hurts you the most? Tell me, anyway, you are definitely not the one who takes the lead." The coal mine can see Dali, and said that mother and father can agree to this matter when they come back." Wen Taniang called out and said, "Ancestors, you little ancestors! The Zhu family has been defeated by you!" She stomped out. Outside the house, Nawen and Yushu clasped the crack of the door and listened clearly.Seeing Wen Ta Niang coming out, the two hurriedly stopped and said, "Mom, listen to me, listen to me..." Wen Ta Niang walked straight to Zhu Kaishan's room, and said, "Say, what are you talking about? An old spoon! A group of little ancestors!" When that Wen entered the room, he asked Xiu'er angrily, "Why can't you hold on to what has been agreed upon?" Xiu'er said, "I don't agree with doing things behind my parents' backs!" She pointed Xiu'er's nose and said, "You, if you do such a foolish thing in the palace, you have to cut off your tongue if you take it lightly." Xiu'er didn't show weakness and said, "How serious is it?" Gritting his teeth, he said, "It's too heavy. If it's too heavy, I'll snap your head." Yushu came in and said, "Why do you say it's so ugly? Let's go, let's see how our father will deal with it first!" Chuanjie had already listened to the letter, and entered his father's room in despair, standing in the hall with his head bowed.Zhu Kaishan drank his tea sullenly, pretending not to see him, and ignored him.Chuanwen leaned forward and said, "Father, the third child is here." Zhu Kaishan was still sipping tea by himself.Chuanjie lost his composure, and said, "Father, I was wrong. I should tell you the truth about the mortgage on the Siwei Building." Zhu Kaishan said, "Mother Wen, I said that our Siwei Building is going to be shaken. You Still don’t believe me, what’s the matter?” Chuanwen asked Chuanjie, “Third brother, who is responsible for this?” Chuanjie said, “I discussed it with my sister-in-law, sister-in-law and Yushu first…” Zhu Kaishan Interrupted him and said, "May I ask who made the decision?" Chuanjie said, "It's me, and it has nothing to do with them." Zhu Kaishan sent a message to the court and said: "Boss, we read that right, he does not have a little foundation under his feet, but he has no foundation at all!" Discuss with our father and mother, and mortgage the Siweilou?" Chuanjie argued: "Brother, this is not boldness, it is seeing the right time to expand our family's property. Shaojing's words are not true. Wrong, in this industrial age, coal is indeed very important, and no industry or industry can do without it!" Zhu Kaishan said: "I don't listen to your nonsense, my father is not a fool, and I just think about it if I don't let you go to mine with me. I thought about it. Didn’t your sister-in-law ask the other day, why did I stop you from opening the coal mine? Chuanwen called them all to me!” Nawen, Xiu’er, and Yushu were already listening outside the door, before Chuanwen shouted , they came in one by one. Zhu Kaishan said: "Didn't you ask me why I stopped you from opening the coal mine that day? Today I will tell you everything. The first point is that there are tens of thousands of people who broke into the Guandong, and a few of them broke into our house." ?There are restaurants, warehouses, and Harbin is full. Who doesn’t know Siweilou and Zhuji Warehouse? Our family is in the home of someone who has gone through the Guandong. It can be regarded as one in a hundred, one in a thousand. I am satisfied, how about you? You should be satisfied too ?” Chuanwen said, “Father, I am content. What about you, third child?” Chuanjie kept silent. Zhu Kaishan continued: "The second point, as the old saying goes, eat as much rice as you want. Have you ever opened a coal mine? Hearing someone yelling, you're going to open a coal mine! Isn't this a dream come true? ? There is also the third point, opening a coal mine can make a fortune, but did you expect to make a mistake? Mortgage the Siweilou, once the coal mine collapses, what will happen to our family? Your mother and I are half buried in the earth I don’t want to be rich and powerful, but I don’t want to make you poor and suffer again! Your mother and I want to protect this property and leave it to you, and you will leave it to your children and grandchildren. Parents think so, what's wrong? Why don't you understand the kindness of parents?" Zhu Kaishan said bluntly, tears were shining, and the room was silent. Chuanwen helped his mother to a chair and sat down, turned around and said, "Third son, have you heard what our father said? Do you have any rebuttals?" Chuanjie raised his head and said, "Father, I want to drink some water." Zhu Kaishan said: "Just drink my bowl, freshly brewed, this year's Longjing." Chuanjie stepped forward and drank the whole bowl of tea.Zhu Kaishan said: "Tell me, it seems that you have saved a lot of words?" Chuanjie muttered for a while, and finally said: "Father, you are old, really, you are old..." Hearing this, Chuanwen frowned and interrupted him, saying, "My father is only sixty-six, so you can call my father Old?" Chuanjie ignored Chuanwen's complaints and continued, "Father, how can we be satisfied? We are satisfied with just such a small family property? Why don't you compare with those who are stronger than us? The whole world knows how to open coal mines. It’s about making money and getting rich, but you said, how big is the bowl and how much rice is eaten! I have never opened a coal mine, but I don’t understand things, can’t I learn from others? Also, since I can remember, I don’t know What have you been afraid of, but now, you are afraid of mistakes. Dad, when you went to the gold market alone, did you think of mistakes? You led us from Fangniugou to Qiqihar, and then to Harbin, and thought of mistakes. Is it? No? Dad, don’t be unwilling to listen, really, you are old!" Zhu Kaishan was so angry that his chest flickered up and down, and he shouted: "San'er, compared with you, am I not old? Can I not be old? I will risk my life for you to eat and earn for you to wear. I am a man made of copper and cast iron. You have to be old too! But your father is still not confused, you just screamed for a long time, I understand, you despise your father and can't see things clearly, you shouldn't be in charge of this family business anymore, occupying Lafayette's The memorial tablet doesn’t show up, it’s blocking you, isn’t it?” Chuanjie hurriedly argued, “Father, I didn’t mean that, I just said to broaden our horizons, our family has to move forward!” Zhu Kaishan asked Said: "Do you still listen to what my father said?" Chuanjie said: "I listen, I listen." Zhu Kaishan said: "Well, now, you go and withdraw our family's money from Shanhe Mine." Jay fell silent again. Chuanwen followed up and asked: "Third son, did you hear that our father told you to withdraw the money?" Chuanjie said, "It can't be done! The money has already entered the account of Shanhe Mine, and besides, it has already been used." Zhu Kaishan snorted twice and said: "That's it, you still refuse to listen to your father. Mother Wen, as usual, I should have been furious by now? Today, let's change it, not to say that we are old Is it? Let’s stop lightning and thunder—San’er, aren’t you still young? Don’t you have a broader vision? Don’t you still have to run forward? Dad won’t block you, okay?” As soon as Na Wen heard that Zhu Kaishan was about to say unfeeling words, he hurried forward and said, "Father, don't say that, I feel very uncomfortable when I hear it, no matter what, I am your child, and there is something wrong with me." place, just say it, don’t get angry!” Zhu Kaishan ignored the text and said, “San’er, from tomorrow onwards, you should leave this house, spread your hooves, and run forward. No, you spread your little wings, facing the sky, humming a little song, fanning the cool wind, and flying high!" Wen's mother was frightened, and said to Chuanjie: "San'er, why don't you hurry up and give it to your father?" Get on your knees!" Chuanwen stepped forward and pressed Chuanjie to his knees, and Mother Wen urged Chuanjie, "I'm dumb, admit my mistake quickly." Zhu Kaishan said, "There's no need for him to admit his mistake. If he admits his mistake, I won't change my mind." Jie knelt down and said, "Father, you beat me, scolded me, and punished me. I admit it, but you can't let me leave this house." Yu Shu also knelt down and said, "Father, I won't leave!" Kneeling down, she said: "Father, to tell the truth, I have half the table, I accept the punishment, don't drive them away?" Xiu'er also knelt down and said: "Father, please spare the third child! "Wen Ta Niang poured water into the tea bowl again, brought it to Zhu Kaishan and said, "Father, drink some water, calm down!" Zhu Kaishan took the tea, and when he saw that the people were still persuading him, he was so angry that Teacup, tremblingly said: "Why, do you have to ask me to throw this teacup?" The whole family was standing and kneeling, but no one moved.The son ran in with his schoolbag on his back and yelled, "Grandpa, grandma, I'm hungry, let's eat!" Zhu Kaishan put down his tea bowl, waved his hand and said, "Get out, get out, get out for me!" The family ate in silence.The guys served two dishes.Wen Ta Niang said: "Third daughter-in-law, the watermelon and shrimp are here, use your chopsticks." Yushu said: "Mother, you can eat." The son said: "Third Uncle, eat a piece of braised pork!" Chuanjie picked up the braised pork and knocked off a soup spoon with his arm.Na Wen said with a sullen face: "Add trouble, pick it up!" The son squatted down and quietly picked up the spoon.Chuanjie and Yushu were full of worries, so they didn't have the heart to eat, so they took a few mouthfuls and went out.Na Wen also dragged his son out.Mrs. Wen looked at Xiu'er, and the two of them stood up and went out. Send a message to Zhu Kaishan to pour another glass of wine.Zhu Kaishan said: "Boss, this family, you really have to work harder, and you can take care of the stalls in the warehouse." Chuanwen agreed and said: "Father, tomorrow, the third child and the others move out, do you need to pay for it from the account?" Give them two dollars?" Zhu Kaishan said, "Let's give it!" Chuanwen said, "How much?" Zhu Kaishan said, "Thirty to fifty is enough, aren't their wings hard?" Mrs. Wen entered Chuanjie's house, and seeing the young couple with mournful faces, she felt uncomfortable, and said, "San'er, what do you think, you mortgaged the Siwei Building?" Chuanjie said, "Mother, let's not talk about this. Is the matter good?" Mrs. Wen said: "Okay, mother will not talk about it." Chuanjie said harshly: "Mother, as long as the coal mine can be opened, Siweilou can't bet in vain. Even if the coal mine fails, I will Can earn another Siwei Building!" Wen Ta Niang said: "Being a father and mother is not difficult for your children, your father is angry today, and when he is over this anger, maybe one day he will be able to come to invite you You are back." Chuanjie said: "Mom, I think my father is really old, and he is starting to be afraid of things!" Yushu said: "Yes, my father is old, how could he be like this in normal times!" Mother Wen said: "If he is not old, can he suddenly think of going back to his hometown? He dug a grave for himself next to your grandfather's and your grandmother's grave. Don't blame your father. We are at the age of me and your father. Year old, don't want to think about what's going on behind you, that's a lie!" That Wen came in and said: "Chuanjie, do you hate your sister-in-law? If I didn't care about it at the beginning, you wouldn't bet on Siweilou?" Chuanjie smiled and said, "What do you hate! I haven't noticed it until now. I think I did something wrong." Na Wen said: "It's right to have this mood, doesn't it mean that good things take a long time? If you go out to live, you must endure hardships, but you still have to think about the time to enjoy great blessings." His mother Wen said: "What do you say? It’s light and light, what year and month did you enjoy the great fortune?” Na Wen said: “It can’t be this year, the coal mines will open, and once the profit is made, is it three or two dollars? Thousands of silver will come It's gone!" His wife Wen squinted at Wen, but said nothing. Xiu'er came in with a small package, walked up to Yushu and said, "Yushu, this is a little wish from me." Nawen leaned over and said, "What treasure is it still wrapped?" Xiu'er said: "I know, it's not easy to live in a branch, here is some money I saved, Yushu, you and the third child can use it!" Yushu said: "Second sister-in-law, how can I use your money? Put it away!" Mrs. Wen said: "Xiu'er, keep this money in your pocket! No matter how bad they are, they are better than you!" Several women went back to the house with their own concerns.The waiter Wen let his son go to bed, and he himself rested on the bed early, but his heart was very restless.It was very late, and Chuanwen came back smelling of alcohol, touched the text and said, "I'm going to tell you something." The text didn't open his eyes angrily, turned his back and said, "Did you drink again? What's the big deal? Chuanwen said: "Drink less with our father. Open your eyes and I will tell you." The text said: "What's wrong! You can know how many beards you have grown even if you close your eyes." Chuanwen said: " Okay, then you just close your eyes and listen. Let me tell you, from now on, don’t disturb me with trivial matters at home.” The text said: “Is this the big thing?” Chuanwen said: “It’s not over yet! I also handed it over to me, restaurants and warehouses, these two big stalls, is it easy to manage?" Nawen said: "Why is it difficult to manage? Opening a coal mine is a big deal." Chuanwen disagreed: "Our father doesn't Have you said that, opening a coal mine is a foolish thing! It’s a fool’s dream.” Nawen retorted: “My three sons, have you seen anything from traveling all over the world? That Pan Shaojing is also full of foreign ink, the two of them, one of them misjudged, or Can the two of you go astray? What idiots are talking about, the shops all over the street have broken their heads, bought shares and opened coal mines, and they are all fools?" The text said: "From what you mean, our father is a fool, isn't he?" Said: "I don't have the courage. If I want to say it, I can only say that our father is old, indeed he is old. I hate myself as a woman. If I were a man, I would have to open a coal mine with San'er and the others. Chuanwen snorted: "You can be Hua Mulan, join the army!" That Wen stared and said: "Why, if I were a soldier, how could I be worse? At least not worse than our second child, no To be a prince is also to be a general at the border of the town!" A carriage stopped at the gate of the back yard.Chuanjie directed the guys to load some simple luggage into the car.Wen Ta Niang took Na Wen, Xiu Er and the guys out to see him off.Chuanjie walked up to his mother and said, "Mother, Yushu and I will go up and say goodbye to daddy?" Wen's mother grabbed him and said, "Little ancestor, don't make him stare at me, because I think the house is noisy. Isn’t that enough?” Xiu’er tearfully tearing at the jade book, said, “I blame me, I shouldn’t have told the story. It made you two lose your home…” Xiu’er cried more and more as she spoke, No one could persuade them anymore, which made Na Wen and his mother Wen's eyes red. Zhu Kaishan's cold voice came from the second floor: "Xiu'er, don't cry." Everyone looked up, and Zhu Kaishan stood in the corridor on the second floor and said, "Xiu'er, do you have such a third brother? Dad doesn't have such a brother." Third son." Chuanjie hurriedly pulled the jade book and knelt down, said goodbye to Zhu Kaishan and said, "Father, I'm leaving, please take care!" Zhu Kaishan said calmly, "Let's go, go quickly, go quickly, Good morning, go early!" Chuanjie kowtowed, sighed, and walked out the door without looking back while pulling Yushu.Wen and his mother hurriedly followed out.Zhu Kaishan stopped Chuanwen.Chuanwen ran up and down, saying, "Dad, what's the matter?" Zhu Kaishan said, "Did you bring them money?" Chuanwen said, "I did." Zhu Kaishan said, "How much?" Chuanwen said "According to what you said last night, fifty yuan." Zhu Kaishan said, "Another two hundred yuan." Chuanwen looked at Zhu Kaishan strangely, agreed, and trotted away. Looking at the quiet courtyard, two lines of old tears slowly flowed down from Zhu Kaishan's eyes. Zhu Kaishan, Wen Ta Niang, Chuanwen, Xiuer, and Ichiro gathered around a table of wine and food.Zhu Kaishan said: "Ichiro, last time Xiu'er didn't learn clearly, what are you doing now?" Ichiro said: "I opened a trading company in Tianjin called Dongsheng Trading Company." Chuanwen asked: "Ichiro, How big is the business?" Ichiro said with a smile: "How big it can be, depends on my ability." Chuanwen said: "Tell me the truth, what is the scale?" Ichiro said: "In front of my parents, I will Stop pretending, it’s okay! After feeding dozens of people, how much can be left in a year.” Chuanwen said: “How much is left?” Zhu Kaishan said: “Boss, you are also a businessman. Do you want to confess casually? Ichiro, don’t tell him! Come, let’s have a drink.” Na Wen led the birth son in.Wen Ta Niang introduced: "Ichiro, this is your sister-in-law, named Na Wen, and that is your sister-in-law's son, called Sheng Zi." You don’t look like a Japanese.” Ichiro stood up and said, “Hello, sister-in-law.” Na Wen smiled and said, “What should I call you when I give birth to you?” Wen Ta Niang said, “I’ll call you Uncle Si!” The son had a sweet mouth, stepped forward and bowed and said, "Hello, fourth uncle." Ichiro asked, "Where are my third brother and third sister-in-law?" Mrs. Wen said, "Don't mention them! In order to open a coal mine, you put Siweilou on the back of your father's back, and your father was not mad at you." Zhu Kaishan Said: "Okay, it's a celebration for Ichiro to come back, don't talk to them." Ichiro toasted Zhu Kaishan and Wen Taniang and said: "Father, mother, Ichiro toasts you, if you didn't save me back then, how could I be here today?" What!" Zhu Kaishan drank a glass of wine.Wen Ta Niang said: "Ichiro, mother doesn't drink alcohol, you know that, mother should drink some tea. By the way, you have to respect Xiu'er. Thanks to Xiu'er, I found you on the hillside." Ichiro Said: "Yes, if it weren't for the second sister-in-law, I would have been turned into ashes back then. Come, second sister-in-law, Ichiro will toast you too." Xiu'er raised her glass, took a sip, and Ichiro drank it down. Na Wen said: "Ichiro, my siblings didn't come with you?" Ichiro smiled and said, "How can there be any siblings! I live alone." Wen Taniang said: "This is not possible. The male college should be married, and the female It’s time to get married, Ichiro, your mother has arranged for you!" Ichiro said: "Okay, I will listen to my mother." Zhu Kaishan said: "Ichiro, when you come this time, besides seeing our family, you also have to pay attention to it. Anything else?" Yilang said, "I want to open a semicolon here, and I'm preparing for it now!" Shengzi said, "Fourth Uncle, why does your face look like a red lantern?" Wen Ta Niang said, "Hey, he That’s because I’ve run out of food and drink! Ichiro, hurry up and eat something.” Ichiro said, “Mom, what I want to eat most is your braised noodles.” Xiu’er said, “Yes, come back, Ichiro only ate the braised noodles from our family. Ichiro said that when he celebrated his birthday that year, his mother gave him the braised noodles made by his mother, and he never forgot it for so many years." His mother Wen said, "Really, Ichiro? Ichiro nodded and said: "Mom, I will never forget it!" Wen Ta Niang praised and said: "Okay, Ichiro is a good boy, he knows what is right!" Xiu'er stared out the window in a daze, the melody of the song "Question" was always lingering in her mind.His mother Wen came in and said, "What are you thinking, Xiu'er?" Xiu'er said, "Mother, tell me, what are Yushu and the others doing now?" His mother Wen said, "Mother misses them too! I'll call you sister-in-law tomorrow." Go and have a look." Xiu'er said, "I'm going too." Mrs. Wen said, "You still have your business tomorrow." She took out a pocket watch, handed it to Xiu'er, and said, "Ichiro drank too much. Go and forget this watch. We are here, and you will send it to him tomorrow." Xiu'er said, "I don't know where he lives, so how can I send it?" Mrs. Wen said, "Just now, Ichiro called. Ask about this watch, and say he lives in the Modern Hotel." Xiu'er said, "Mother, why don't you go with me tomorrow? I've never been to such a place." What happened? Go alone, go out for a stroll, so as not to gain weight sitting at home." The dining room of the Grand Hotel Modern was filled with fashionable men and women, both Chinese and foreigners.At a table in the corner of the restaurant, Ichiro and Xiu Er were eating Western food.Ichiro raised his glass and said, "Second sister-in-law, drink more." Xiu'er raised her glass and drank it in one gulp.Ichiro said: "Second sister-in-law, this is wine!" Xiu'er said: "Really? Why didn't you drink wine on weekdays?" Ichiro said: "Didn't I tell you that this is wine, French "Xiu'er smiled and said, "It tastes sweet when I drink it, how can it taste like wine?" Ichiro poured her another glass. The waiter brings a dish.Xiu'er looked at it and said, "Oh my god, is this meat cooked? It still has bloodshot eyes!" Ichiro said, "This is steak, that's how Westerners do it." Xiu'er said, "It's half-cooked. I don't dare to eat it." Looking at her, Ichiro suddenly laughed.秀儿有些醉意，面色桃红，问道：“笑什么，一郎？二嫂可没喝多呀！”一郎说：“那年，我刚进咱家，一开口就是日本话：哈依，噢哈哟，古匝一嘛丝。我说一句，二哥就拍我一下脸，我说一句，二哥就拍我一下脸。我问二哥，我怎么了？你老打我。你猜二哥说什么？”秀儿问道：“他说啥？”一郎说：“二哥说，我就烦你说这种跟面条似的话！二哥把日本话说成是面条话了！”秀儿听了笑得前仰后合，一仰脖，又喝了一杯酒。却不晓得葡萄酒后劲大，秀儿迷迷糊糊地就趴在了桌上。 等秀儿醒来，天色已黑，窗外下着细雨。她四下看看，见一郎正在窗前熨衣服，忙起身说：“一郎，这是哪啊？”一郎说：“这是我的房间。”秀儿站起来说：“俺得回家了，天都黑了！”一郎说：“再等会儿，衣服就要熨完了。”秀儿说：“是俺的衣服？刚才我喝醉了吧？”一郎说：“还行！没太醉。”秀儿说：“俺刚才没说啥吧？”一郎笑了笑说：“光说小时候的事了，还有俺二哥。你喝口水，在床头那都倒好了！”秀儿拿起水杯慢慢地喝着，望着一郎熨衣服的背影，心底涌起一阵阵暖意。 一郎把秀儿送回家，刚一进门，见那文打着伞急三火四地从外头过来，跟他俩匆匆打了个招呼，一路喊着娘，进了四味楼。文他娘迎出来说：“咋呼什么？”那文说：“我刚从老三那回来，老三病得不行了！躺在炕上，发着高烧，头不抬，眼不睁，整个人都脱相了，玉书一步也不敢离。”文他娘说：“赶紧叫大夫啊！”那文说：“我这不回来找人吗？”文他娘四下喊道：“传文，传文！”传文闻声跑过来。文他娘说：“你赶紧跟那文上老三那去！”传文说：“出什么事了？”那文说：“老三病了，病得不轻呢！”传文说：“不用和爹说一声？”文他娘说：“问那个凶神干什么？你麻溜跟那文去！” 文他娘心慌慌地回了屋，冷着个脸问朱开山：“你都听见了，我问你，答不答应老三他们今晚搬回来了？”朱开山说：“别想那个好事。”文他娘说：“好，你不答应，今晚我就搬老三那去。” 老两口谁也不让谁地吵着。传文和那文进来了，一身的雨水。那文说：“娘，老三他们没影了！”文他娘大惊道：“说什么呢？”传文说：“爹、娘，俺和那文刚才去了，屋里屋外，找了个遍，连行李都不见了！这可怎么办？”文他娘说：“怎么办？还不快出去找！”朱开山拦住说：“找什么？他们俩不是佛爷，也不是鬼神，上不了西天，也下不了阴曹地府，叫他们自在去吧！”文他娘火了，眼角一挑说：“他爹，我告诉你，说别的，我都依你，今天这事你做不了主。你是孩子他爹不假，可是他们在你肚子里待上一天了吗？你喂他们一口奶了吗？都是我，我是孩子们的娘！你看你那个能耐，为了个四味楼，还把三儿撵出去了！四味楼算个什么？一百个、一万个四味楼也抵不上俺的三儿子！” 文他娘叫上传文和那文说：“走，咱们找三儿去！三儿没有爹，还有娘呢！”朱开山见文他娘真动气了，这才抬起身，慢悠悠地说：“传文，就别劳碌你娘了，上那个潘绍景家去看看。”传文问道：“老三，能在那儿？”朱开山：“他能上哪？眼下，也就是绍景能收留他。”传文和那文答应着，又急匆匆地出去了。文他娘这才消了点气。朱开山转到她眼前说：“消消气吧！你的宝贝儿子丢不了，更死不了！”文他娘说：“你个老东西，原来你心里早有底了！”朱开山笑一声说：“哼，一个小家雀，能扑棱到哪去？”
