Thinking of this, Duan Haoping began to take Duan Haoshou to teach him what he learned at the wine table, and the more he talked, the more vigorous he was. But no, in the future, if you care about what you don’t understand in the shop, just ask me.
Duan Haoshou just nodded his head again and again, with a dull smile on his face.
Duan Haoping could not help but clapped the table and said, "I will help you in the future!"
Without waiting for Duan Haoshou to reply, the elder raised the curtain and came out with a smile: "What do you two brothers say?"
He was sleeping soundly in the room, but the voice of Haoping in the outer room was getting louder and louder, and he gradually became unhappy when he heard it. Not to mention that Duan Haoshou is so many years older than Duan Haoshou, it is because of his great master's face that Duan Haoshou should not treat Duan Haoshou like this. Later, the more I heard it, the less plausible it became, and the old man couldn't lie down anymore. When he lifted the curtain and came out, just to hear Duan Haoping said to help Duan Haoshou manage the shop, the old man just sneered in his stomach, I am afraid that this tube will not return to Haoshou
When Duan Haoping saw the elder came out, he immediately stood up and greeted him with joy. While inviting the old man to sit down, he rushed to pour tea. On the contrary, Duan Haoshou watched the old man come out and stood up, watched Duan Haoping rushing around and avoided it, and waited for the old man to look at him, and then cried out dad blankly.
The elder sighed, beckoned him to come and sit down, patted his knee and said, "Son, alas, what can I say to you?"
Duan Haoshou looked at the old man's admiration that he wanted to be close but didn't dare to look at. The old man also liked and felt worried when he looked at such a son. A good son, he looks good, but he is rare and honest and honest. It's just that some are too loyal, so those big business masters don't dare to give it to him.
Duan Haoping took the tea in his own hand, and the old man took it with a smile, bowing his head to drink the tea and not looking at him. Duan Haoping originally wanted to take refuge in the elder, so he would naturally show his patience and determination when he saw people. So he poured out what he had just said to Duan Haoshou again, the old man just listened to him with a smile, and from time to time he praised him for his aspirations and promises.
Duan Haoping was even more excited. When it was dinner, the elder master offered the tea ceremony: "It's also this hour, or let's talk another day?" Duan Haoping agreed, turned his head to look outside, and said, "Ah, it's snowing."
The old man chuckled: "Then don't go back in a hurry, eat at Uncle's here!" Duan Haoping happily agreed. When eating, he naturally stayed at the same table with the old master and Duan Hao. During the dinner, he still stayed true to his ambitions and skills.
The elder did not say yes or no when he took food and meat.
Duan Haoping said to go only one thing, he was more capable than Duan Haofang, the elder should take him to the south this time, not Duan Haofang.
While pouring wine for the old man, he said: "All brothers, uncle, you can't be partial to that Duan Haofang! I can say that I am much better than him! How many years has he eaten? I eat more salt than He ate a lot! I saw more things than he saw!"
The old man laughed and raised his glass and touched him lightly, and sighed: "What you said is right."
Duan Haoping heard about it! Immediately pour wine for the big master! Make up my mind to let the master send a message to take him to the south tonight!
Humph! Now, let’s see what else that Duan Haofang is so proud of! Wait until he comes back after making money from the South! See what he has to say!
Just about to continue to tell the elder, the girl outside came in and replied that Wei Yuzhen sent the little girl over to pick up people. The elder said with a smile: "It's too late, and I won't keep you anymore. It just so happens that your daughter-in-law's wife called someone to pick you up, so let's go back."
If Wei Yuzhen is here, Duan Haoping must beat her! It's getting off the ground! He was so angry that his stomach suddenly became angry, and the alcohol anger made him blush and his neck was thick.
Upon seeing this, the elder said, "I really can't drink anymore." While talking, he told people to take the wine down, and pushed Duan Haoshou, who had been sitting by his side, to say, "Go and see your second brother."
Duan Haoshou quickly agreed to stand up to help Duan Haoping.
Duan Haoping was full of fire, coupled with the fact that he usually looked down on this brother in the lobby, and pushed him away: "You don't need to send it! I will go by myself!" After that, he stood up and staggered to the door, Duan Hao stood there. He followed him up from time to time and kept sending it to the door. Watching the girl put on a cloak, put on an umbrella and held a lantern for him, she went back to the house after she went out of the yard, and saw that the old man was still eating slowly. The previous said: "Father, the food is cold, should you take it to the stove and heat it up?"
The elder nodded looking at him, and Duan Haoshou asked the girl to come in and get the food out to heat up. The old man pulled him down and said, "Sit with me for a while."
Duan Haoshou agreed to sit down, and suddenly his hands and feet were tense and he didn't know where to put it.
The elder asked him: "What did Haoping mean just now, do you know?" Duan Haoshou didn't say a word for a long time, and the elder didn't urge him. After a while, he said dullly: "...My brothers are all talented." He is not a fool. He knew exactly what Duan Haoping was doing. But knowing in my heart doesn't mean that he has a solution. He has been detained in the yard by the old lady for so many years, and sometimes even feels that he is really useless if he is such a big person. She just stayed in the inner courtyard like a woman. It's really frustrating after a long time. After the elder came back this time, he always felt that standing in front of the elder didn't have enough confidence. He is the eldest brother of a family, but he is also the least useful one.
The elder sighed when he saw that he knew he was not reconciled. He patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, it's not bad, you still know what he is here for." He is really afraid that his son will be a waste, as long as he knows that he is motivated, it is not too late.
The old man smiled and patted Duan Haoshou on the shoulder and said: "You don't have to worry, I can take you a few more years anyway. It is not too late to learn from now, and all my wealth will be left to you in the future. , You have to live up to it!"
Duan Haoshou didn't expect the elder to say this to him, and tears came down as soon as the circles of his eyes were red. He quickly raised his sleeves to block his face, fearing that the elder might think he was not manly.
The old man smiled and patted his shoulder and said, "Okay, okay, only this time. You won't be allowed to cry anymore. You are a man, and your mother, your wife, and your son will depend on you in the future. , You can't fall down!"
Duan Haoshou nodded again and again, choked up and said: "Son...Son must not let you down! Son will definitely be upbeat!"
The old man patted him on the shoulder and sighed, son, this is a son.
When the dishes were hot, they would not return them. The father and son sat together drinking and eating and chatting until the middle of the night.
After Dong Fangyun put his son to sleep, he came over to sit with the eldest wife. Hearing that the two of them were talking lively and happily in the room over there, the two of them also laughed quietly.
The eldest wife sewed a little grandson's clothes in her hand, and slowly smiled and said, "Okay, this time, the family is really reunited."
Dong Fangyun smiled and said, "Mother, this year will definitely be a good one!"
The old lady nodded: "Yes, this year will definitely be better than before!"
"Chinese New Year!"
The children on the street wore thick cotton-padded jackets and cotton hats, running around in the alley with fireworks in their hands, crackling, so lively.
The Duan's old house is also beaming. Early in the morning, the great master led Duan Haoshou and his brothers to stand outside the gate and set off a thousand-shot firecrackers, broken red confetti on the ground after the excitement, and children ran over and squatted on the ground to pick up cannons. play.
The old man laughed and said: "This year has a good time!" After that, he shook his head and sighed, and said: "It's just a family together that is called the New Year."
The second master was shocked when he heard this, and he laughed and said, "Where is the eldest brother? You will do our filial piety in front of our brothers. Naturally, it will not matter how hard we work for the younger brother in this family." While looking at Master Duan, "Is the third child?"
Master Duan chuckled.
The old man looked at the second old man with a smile, and patted him on the shoulder and said: "The second brother still makes sense. I used to thank you for showing filial piety to my mother." The old man patted him hard. Sighed: "Big Brother remembers your love!"
The second master laughed twice, and quickly said, "Big brother, what are you talking about?"
Among the few brothers, Duan Haoshou just bowed his head and walked forward. Duan Haoping looked right and left, looking at the old master and second master walking in front for a while, and Duan Haofang who followed him for a while, sneering from time to time.
Duan Haofeng couldn't stay free. I didn't follow everyone in just now. Instead, he squatted outside the gate among a bunch of children to pick up cannons, and learned that the children lit up the incense and threw them out. He jumped up and laughed.
The second master walked for a while and couldn't find him. He called someone out to find him. After he was found, he heard that he was mixed with a group of half-old children outside and lighted his forehead. "How old are you?" I'm still young!"
Duan Haofeng lowered his head to listen to the lesson without saying a word, pouting and looking upset.
The old man listened with a smile and came over to persuade him: "Well, it's okay to let the children have fun for the new year."
Duan Haofeng immediately flashed behind him when he saw the elder, the second elder tried to pull him over and continued training but was blocked by the elder, stomping and saying: "Big brother, don't stop it! This kid will be broken if he doesn't teach him!"
The old man smiled and said, "Forget it! Forget it!" He whispered to Duan Haofeng, "Go find your mother!"
Duan Haofeng snorted happily, as if playing a game.
The second master saw that he couldn’t get it back anyway, and it’s not a good idea to teach him just because of such a trivial matter, and let the old lady know that it’s not easy to confess, so he had to give up, turning his head and saying to the big master: “Brother, You can't be so used to him!"
The old man pulled the second old man into the house and said with a smile: "Isn't he still young? Just to look at my face and spare him this time!" As he talked, he pulled him all the way into the house with a smile.
When I was free, the second master quietly asked the second wife to learn what the master said when the gun was fired, and said anxiously: "What do you mean by what he said?" The second wife almost jumped up and shouted, "What do you mean? What do you mean by him? What else do you not understand? He is telling you that he is coming back! Let you remember to return all the things in this family to him!
The second master hurriedly pulled the second wife to sit down, and hissed with his fingers up: "You keep your voice down! Watch out for people to hear you again!" He said, carefully looking at the windows and doors.
The second wife wiped her tears and said, "Is there any reason? This is still not our house! Why can't he even talk in the house when he comes back?"
The second master sighed, "Is there any way? He is the boss."
The second wife complained: "It's all useless for you!"
The second master nodded again and again: "I'm useless, I'm useless. Let's talk about what to do. Since he is coming back, then this shop, ah, ah, and so on will be handed over to him sooner or later. Where should I put the things?" The second wife was not in the mood to cry, and started to worry together. The second master circled the room like a millstone. The second wife looked at him like that, and said, "There is a way, I'm afraid you are not willing."
The second master stood still and turned to look at her, before smiling for a long time: "What can I not bear? You mean to leave it to you? There is no way to be your dowry boss."
The second wife smiled and said, "It's not that I want to take advantage of you. He who is the eldest brother of my dowry can never come over and ask. Otherwise, do you want to come out separately?" The second master grinned his teeth. For a long time, he stomped his feet and patted the table and said: "Just do it! I'll go and change it for money!"
The second wife jumped up in a hurry: "You are stupid! What will we eat and drink in the future when we change it into money? Just wait until we finish eating and we spend it all?"
The second master sighed: "You think I don't know? Just change the shops and fields that were originally distributed from the house to money, or you should hand it back. Those who have changed their names from our house don't have to worry about it. Moved."
The second wife said bitterly: "Selling in such a hurry, you are going to lose money?" The second master shook his head and sighed, "If you lose, you can lose a little, otherwise there is no other way."
The second wife asked again: "You have to be careful about the treasurer in that shop! If it doesn't work, change some, so that you don't turn around again."
The second master "touched" his head and said: "Oh, I know. This is really troublesome." For so many years, he has been in the store of Duan's house. Later, he secretly opened a few more shops. In the shop’s business, the shops often adjust the turnover of goods with each other, and several shopkeepers and veteran folks also know the inside story. He was only worried now that if these people were not stern to say something, he would just show his feet when he stole the shop. It would be a trivial matter for the shop to take the boss back at that time. I was afraid that the reputation would not sound good. But it's impossible to change all the shopkeepers and buddies. These people are all veterans. Besides, they probably all know people who are in the same industry. If they are really kicked out, it might be worse.
The second master bowed his head and went out. Before leaving, he confessed to the second wife, "Just say that an old friend invited me out for a drink. Don't say anything else."
The second wife sent him off and said, "I don't know how to say it? Just go."
The second master remembered Haofeng again, frowning and said: "Also Haofeng is too big, so he can no longer be so dependent on his "sexuality". You also let him take care of him, and I will take him out in the future. See people do things."
The second wife was angry when the second master said that Duan Haofeng was not good, and said annoyed: "I gave birth to my son, I raised it, and I taught him. What's wrong with him?"
The second old man angrily said: "I said you are not good? How old is he? He still looks like a child every day, what will he have in the future?" The second wife raised her eyebrows and shouted: "My son Don't worry about it! He has a lot of promise in the future! He must be better than you!"
The second master was anxious to go out. Seeing that she was about to make a noise, he said hastily: "Okay, okay, everything you said is right. I'm leaving."
The second wife wanted to talk to the second master again, and remembered that the shop was a business matter, so she swallowed it back, chased to the door and said: "Then you go slow on the road, don't drink too much!"
When it was time to eat, everyone gathered in the old lady’s room. The eldest master didn’t see the second master and asked with a smile, “Where’s the second one? Where did you go? Even if you have a Chinese New Year meal, you can’t find anyone!”
Master Duan smiled when he heard the words, and did not answer.
The elder turned his head and asked Duan Haofeng: "Where is your father? Where did he go?" He said while taking a piece of chicken to him.
Duan Haofeng sipped the wine and said, "Who knows? I went out early in the morning!"
It was too late when the second wife heard what the elder said. She just happened to hear what Duan Haofeng said. She stepped forward and patted him on the head and cursed, "What nonsense the little bunny!"
Duan Haofeng was suddenly taken aback, holding his head annoyed and said: "Why are you hitting me!"
The old man laughed and persuaded: "Don't be angry, brother and sister, Haofeng is still a child."
The second wife felt distressed again after the fight, and stepped forward to "knead" Haofeng, but he shook his head and angrily avoided her hand. The second wife couldn't help but sighed: "You kid really doesn't know good or bad!" She laughed when she heard the old master's words, "This kid is talking nonsense if he doesn't know. Yesterday a friend of the second child just came back from the field and said it was for him. Something, he just passed by early today."
The elder nodded and smiled: "It turns out that this is the case. The second brother has many friends."
The second wife laughed and said a few more words before turning back to the back room. Before leaving, she confessed to Duan Haofeng uneasy: "Sit down and eat, listen to the elders and a few brothers! Don't talk too much!"
Duan Haofeng didn't say it in person, and when the second wife left, he pouted and said to the curtain: "It will make me obedient!"
The elder persuaded: "Okay, okay, have another drink?" He poured another half glass of wine for him personally.
Duan Haofeng was overjoyed now, and talked about whether he was affectionate or not.
