The lesson Hong Yanwu taught to the "general" was interrupted by the "general's" sister after it was completely dark.

After returning to the house, my mother and sister put little Xie Wu in the bamboo cart, and they have been busy entertaining the guests.

Not only has it been done now. Moreover, this "general" brother-in-law also picked up his child after get off work. It just so happened that everyone came together to give Hong Yanwu and "Xiao Baizi" a clean break.

The old man called for dinner. Of course Hong Yanwu didn't dare to dawdle, it was polite.

He quickly tidied up, washed his face and hands with "Xiaobaizi" and went to the north room of "General"'s mother.

Not to mention, fortunately in this situation, the "general" mother was able to prepare a table of interesting meals.

"Stewed mackerel", "soft fried meat", "fried shredded pork with celery", "fried kohlrabi", "braised chicken with mushrooms", "braised mixed fish", and a plate of "sweet tomatoes" ", "Cucumber and kelp silk".

The table is covered with steaming hot dishes, and the tempting aroma penetrates directly into the nostrils.

The greedy "Xiao Baizi" was so excited that he accidentally grabbed a piece of kelp. Unexpectedly, Hong Yanwu, who was teasing Xiao Xiewu, saw him and gave him a fierce look.

"Xiaobaizi" immediately blushed, stuck out his tongue, and quickly sat up straight, not daring to reach out.

But he was embarrassed, but "General"'s mother was even more ashamed. While setting the dishes and chopsticks, she said "I'm sorry" to Hong Yanwu and "Xiao Baizi".

It turned out that something was wrong. The family had run out of all the fine grains and could not even make a meal of rice. This staple food is a little more miserable. Today I’m going to make vegetable dumplings mixed with sea grains and cornmeal.

Hong Yanwu can talk, "Auntie, why are you so polite to us! What's wrong with vegetable dumplings? It's a local specialty and tastes better than rice. To tell you the truth, even if you make a pot of 'salted fish pancakes', we will all It’s delicious. What’s more, the food on your table is enough to entertain a foreign president, how can we still be dissatisfied?”

But after hearing what he said, General's mother smiled and shook her head.

"This kid, you are coaxing me! You even have 'salted fish pancakes'? That's just for the poor, just to fill your stomach! You people in the capital are all rice and flour, as shown on TV, the whole country guarantees the supply of the capital! You guys Would you care about that thing?"

"Xiaobaizi" came quickly to join in the fun.

"Auntie, we didn't coax you. Don't say you don't believe it, we don't believe it ourselves. In the past two years, when I go home to eat, I feel bad and think about 'salted fish cakes'. Hey, you Guess what? This can stimulate your appetite, and the effect is better than hawthorn pills..."

This was an exaggeration, and everyone couldn't help but laugh out loud at "Little Baizi".

Under the dim light, the heat of the dishes spread everywhere. People in the room sat together, talking and laughing, and were extremely affectionate. Just from this scene, you would never guess that the owner was receiving guests from afar, because they really looked like a family.

But the more touching moments of the meal are yet to come.

Before moving her chopsticks, "General"'s mother not only poured wine for Hong Yanwu and "Xiao Baizi" herself, but also asked "General" and Han Ying to fill it up and toast them together.

Hong Yanwu and "Xiao Baizi" never expected that the old lady would do something like this, and they couldn't stop her in time, so they stood up together in shock.

"No, no, no, no. Isn't Hai Chao sick? My sister-in-law doesn't know how to drink... Aunt, what are you doing!" Hong Yanwu refused repeatedly, insisting that the two "generals" who also stood up sit down. .

But the old lady was very determined.

"Son, you have to listen to me on this matter. Don't look at me as an uneducated old lady who can't read a word, but I understand the principles of human relations. I am an orphan and a widow, and I can support two children. Da, you didn't lie down, no one looked down upon you, it's all because of your persistence. Today, you are the benefactor of our Jiang family. This is not only a matter of money, but also saves our family's face. I can still raise my head to see people. That’s why I asked my son and daughter-in-law to offer you a drink on behalf of the three generations of the Chang family, shouldn’t I? If you refuse, then I will have to do it myself..."

Okay, no choice, Hong Yanwu and "Xiao Baizi" can only accept it.

The two of them said, "Aunt, you are serious! Can't we drink?" They took the initiative to clink glasses with "General" and Han Ying, and poured a hot sip of wine down their throats.

The wine is Moutai! It was okay for the man, but Han Ying had tears in her eyes and kept coughing.

And this is not over yet. No one could sit down, and the old lady still had something to say.

"It's easy to add icing on the cake, but it's difficult to deliver embers in the snow. Xiao Wu, you can come all the way from the capital to solve the problems of the Jiang family. This friendship is rare. Auntie will always remember it in her heart, and the Jiang family will never forget it. But there is You still have to rely on Auntie, that is, the things that the Jiang family originally used to pay off the debt belong to you! If it is not enough, we will write a note and pay you back slowly. You cannot refuse, and it is necessary for your brother to settle the account. Old lady, I have lived for more than half my life, and I have seen many things. Only in this way can we ensure that our relationship remains the same, and my heart can be at ease..."

Hey! This old lady really understands people, and she is better than young people in terms of worldliness!

Hong Yanwu secretly praised it, but he couldn't agree. He also has his reasons.

"Auntie, I understand what you mean. What you said makes sense. But the problem is that you got the situation wrong. I will always owe you a share. How can I have the nerve to agree to this? Not only can't I do this, I Keep all the money you brought here, you don’t have to pay it back!”

The Jiang family were stunned for a moment, and no one understood why. You don’t want it for thousands of dollars? So generous?

The "general" and Han Ying reacted even more, because they knew that Hong Yanwu's bag was full of money. several thousand? I don’t know how many thousands?

"Xiao Wu! You..."

Not allowing them to speak, Hong Yanwu waved his hand to stop them and turned to explain to the "general" mother.

"Auntie, have you forgotten that two years ago, I came to Bincheng to take something from your house? To treat my father? Didn't the 'general' tell you?"

The Jiang family suddenly realized.

Sister "General" interrupted. "What are you talking about, that hard, black dried fish? No one recognizes it as a treasure, and it can't be sold for even a cent, so how much is it worth?"

"It is indeed a treasure! Without it, my father would have been dead long ago!" Hong Yanwu said without any doubt.

"Sister, there's no price for this thing. How much do you think it's worth? How much is my father's life worth? At that time, as long as I had it, I was willing to exchange it for it, but 'General' didn't have a penny. It's going to be given to me..."

After sighing, Hong Yanwu looked at the "general" again.

"And what about the lives of Quanzi and I? If it weren't for you and Yang Zi in the sea, we would be dead. You two braved the storm to save us! How much are the lives of Quanzi and I, you and Yang Zi? How much is your life worth? If it really comes down to it, who owes it to whom?"

After a while, the Jiang family all became thoughtful.

In this way, Hong Yanwu finally faced the "general" mother who had a lot of feelings for him again.

"Auntie, now you understand. Don't worry about money. My life with the Jiang family is not about money, it's about life! It's really not a timely help, at most it's a repayment of kindness. , This is something that should be deserved. What your family does not owe me, I owe it to the old Jiang family. This is the virtue that your Jiang family has accumulated over many lifetimes. Just open your eyes. Trust me, everything will be fine. This is just a small hurdle, and it will be fine..."

This is so heartwarming. The "general" mother who was said to be so emotional even thought of her deceased husband and burst into tears. She knew she was losing her temper and quickly wiped it on.

"Xiao Wu, you have a conscience! Auntie is old and is not confused. You said it lightly, but how many people in the world can do this? It is easier to remember grudges than to remember gratitude! Neither is Auntie. Say nothing else, keep everything in mind. Haichao, give me another toast to you two brothers. When you were alive, your father always said that as long as you make a true friend in your life, you will never be wronged..."

"Hey!" "General" agreed and quickly raised his glass again.

But Hong Yanwu was in a dilemma. He was not afraid of anything else but the "general's" illness.

"Auntie, let's forget about this cup. When the General's body recovers, I will have a good drink with him. I can still drink this cup with my brother-in-law."

The sister of "General" felt sorry for her brother and said, "Yes, Mom! Can't the son-in-law replace Biao?"

In a word, the old lady who was a bit patriarchal could not help but laugh.

In this way, the kind son-in-law of the Jiang family raised his glass with a silly smile. Unexpectedly, the "general" still stretched out the wine glass in his hand.

While everyone was watching in astonishment, he actually touched his forehead and said, "That's weird. I don't have a fever at all! I'm fine!"

Han Ying stretched out her hand and it was really like this!

Thus these words filled the whole room with joyful laughter. Even in the crack of the door that was slowly blown open by the wind, the warm light came out of the house and sprinkled on the ground outside the house, infecting the coldness in the courtyard.

The blue of the night and the yellow of the light, at this moment, formed a wonderful picture with strong contrast.
