C118 Speak of the Devil

As the sun set, the darkness of the night gradually spread out, growing thicker and thicker. There was no moon, and the little village of the Fan Clan, which was on the north bank of the Yellow River, was completely enveloped in darkness.

The night in the countryside was very quiet, especially after the autumn harvest, which was even more lonely and lonely. Standing in the courtyard, looking from afar, one could see that the night sky of Daan County opposite the Yellow River was very bright and brilliant.

After walking out of his own courtyard, Fan Wenbin went to the Li family's deli to buy two catties of white wine and some brine meat, peanuts, and other dishes. According to his father, he stepped on the night sky and went straight to the Hu family's four houses at the village entrance. He knew that Hu Si loved drinking. Once he drank, he would tell the truth.

When he arrived at the entrance of Hu Si's courtyard, before he could shout, a yellow dog ferociously pounced out and surrounded him as it howled. Although the countryside people did not have much property, every family had a watchdog. Some families even had three or four dogs of various sizes.

Fan Wenbin stared at the yellow dog. As he dodged, he shouted loudly, "Hu Si, Hu Si, I'm coming. Quickly stop your dog. "

At this moment, the curtain of the door was lifted, and Hu Si pulled on the lights in the courtyard. When he saw that it was Fan Wenbin, he said loudly with a smile, "Old Fan is here?" He hurriedly walked out.

Then, he fiercely kicked the yellow dog, driving him far away. He cursed, "You don't know what's good for you," and said to Fan Wenbin with a smile, "When did you come? Quickly enter the house and sit down. "

Fan Wenbin walked towards the courtyard and said, "I came back at noon today. I have nothing to do at night, so I came to find you to drink. " He asked again, "Which room is the wife and child in?"

"They are watching TV in the living room. " Hu Si pointed to the dark room in the west and said, "Come to this room. It's free and no one is disturbing you. It's very convenient to drink and talk. "

At this time, Hu Si's wife, Teng Jinxiu, heard the noise and also walked into the room. She smiled and greeted him. She glanced at the wine and meat on the table and said with slight embarrassment, "Every time Boss Fan comes to the house, he either takes wine or meat. It costs a lot of money. "

She knew that Fan Wenbin and Hu Si were classmates and friends who grew up together in open-crotch pants, and their relationship was extremely good. However, after they grew up, their fate underwent a tremendous change.

One was the big boss of a famous listed company, who had a lot of money and could pave the streets. The other was an old farmer with his back facing the blue sky and facing the yellow earth. The difference in the economy was too great, but it could be said that there was a huge disparity between the heaven and earth.

When she married Hu Si, apart from wearing a new set of clothes, she also wore a new set of clothes. She didn't have any other things like smartphones, motorcycles, or gold necklaces. However, she also knew that she was a divorced widow and wasn't worth much, so she didn't mind Hu Si being poor.

In the past few years, with the help of the local government, she had become the target of precise poverty alleviation. A university student named Song Zhantao, who graduated from an agricultural university, Fan Caixia's fiancé, helped them build four greenhouses, and taught her and Hu Si how to grow cinnamon at all times. The situation was getting better day by day.

Hu Si poured two glasses of wine and drank first. He smacked his lips and ate another piece of meat. He looked very comfortable and said with a smile, "Who is Old Fan? He is the big boss of the famous Great Safety County. These few drinks and meat are nothing to him. "

After Fan Wenbin was rich, every time he returned to the Fan family, many people in the village, regardless of whether they were male or female, old or young, greeted him respectfully with smiles on their faces, as if they were envious and fawning on him.

However, only Hu Si was not like this. He was still very casual to Fan Wenbin when he was in school. He called Fan Wenbin "Old Fan" very naturally and very intimately.

This did not mean that he was unreasonable and did not know what was good for him. It was because he was born with this temperament. No matter who he was to, he would have an indifferent attitude. He wasn't afraid of being tough, nor was he afraid of bullying the soft. He treated everyone equally and sincerely.

In the eyes of many people, Hu Si's attitude towards people in this world was that he did not know how to be open-minded, but it was very in line with Fan Wenbin's character. It could be said that among all the people he knew, including Huang Weidong, he and Hu Si were true friends who lived a life of poverty and wealth.

While drinking wine and eating meat, the two of them naturally talked about their childhood friends, Old Bian and Tiande Zi. Fan Family crossed a village. They grew up playing together since young, so they were very familiar with each other.

"Not long after the wife died, Old Pingtou brought another woman. I don't know where she came from, but she's already thirty or forty years old. Her face is full of wrinkles, and she's wearing thick makeup. She has a demonic aura. One look and you can tell that she's not a legitimate person. "

Hu Si drank a few glasses of wine in succession and said in a very obvious mocking tone, "Yesterday, yes, the day before yesterday. She gambled in the Zhao family's shop and was arrested by the police station in the middle of the night. I heard that he was detained in the detention center. "

The name of the old flat-headed man was Wu Zhengzu. Because of the flat-headed man, everyone had a nickname, "Old flat-headed man. " He was also a classmate of the two of them in elementary and middle school. A year ago, his wife died of illness and did not have a child. He wandered around all by himself. He did not care about the sky or the earth, but he actually had a bad habit of gambling.

If he did not gamble for a day, he would not be able to sleep. If he lost more, he would win less, and he would have to pay for the land expropriation. She had lost tens of thousands of dollars, and she had even borrowed a lot of high-interest loans. She had been chased by people for money all day long. Sometimes, she had been beaten black and blue, and she had to hide everywhere. It was very pitiful.

Hearing Hu Si say this, Fan Wenbin could not help but sneer a few times. He said with disdain, "This guy, he has the same old problem again. He was already in his forties, yet he still did not understand what was going on? He even does things that make people laugh at him from day to night.

Teng Jinxiu interrupted. He said, "Old Bighead even borrowed five thousand yuan from my family and still hasn't paid it back. " Then, he shouted at Hu Si, "It's all your fault for being blind. You still don't know what kind of person Old Bighead is? Yet you want to borrow money from him. "

That day, Bighead came to our house to borrow money. He said five thousand yuan. He was so angry that Teng Jinxiu didn't give him a good look. However, Hu Si didn't give him any face, so he lent it to him on his own accord. After the old man left, the couple had a big fight. Up until now, Teng Jinxiu's remaining hatred had yet to dissipate, and he was panting with rage.

"Old Pingtou is a neighbor and a classmate. Why would he be afraid of him running away?" Hu Siyi drank while eating meat, and he said with a smile, "Who doesn't feel bad living their entire lives? Was our family the same in the past? Besides, Old Freak also helped me. I can't not return this favor.

Seeing Hu Si and his wife quarreling in front of him, Fan Wenbin hurriedly said," Forget it, forget about Old Ping's head. " After a moment, he said to Teng Jinxiu, "Bring some meat over and let the baby eat it. This was bought from the Li family's deli. It tastes pretty good. "

The Li family's deli was actually a small restaurant that the village chief Li Manrong's wife opened. It specialized in selling cooked food. Li Man Rong earned money from the bread project outside. When he saw that his wife was not involved in farming, he had nothing to do. He opened a deli at the entrance of the village. The business was quite good.

After Teng Jinxiu left with the meat, Hu Si could not help but laugh. He casually said, "This is the virtue of a woman. " He raised his wine cup and drank with Fan Wenbin while talking about the heaven's virtue.

Tiande Zi was Hu Si's cousin. His name was Hu Jide, and he couldn't go into school. He ranked last in the class in the first exam, but his hands were very skillful. He did carpentry work, often built houses and coffins for people, and even fixed the tables and windows of the school. He did it very meticulously and beautifully.

The white and red brand of the computer room in the Fan Family Primary School was the one that Fan Youcai had asked Tiande to do. It was made and hung up in one night. It was also very proper and good-looking. It could completely coax the person who came down to check.

After the New Year, Tiande brought his wife and went to the south with a few people from the Fan family. It seemed that they went to Zhejiang Wenzhou to work. It was said that there was a huge shortage of people there. The salary was very high. It was four to five thousand a month. They were not tired of living.

"The couple made money and left. What should we do with the baby?" Fan Wenbin knew that Tiande Zi's elder daughter was in middle school, and the younger daughter and son were in primary school. They looked very smart, and their books were pretty good. Especially his son, Hu Spring Halo, who had even received a scholarship. It was the prize money that he had personally awarded.

The year that Hua Cheng Corporation landed on the stock market, which was also the spring of the previous year, Fan Wenbin returned to his hometown in a grand manner. He was invited by the principal of primary school, Fan Youcai, and his sixth uncle to the school. He gave over forty students in the school a lively and interesting inspirational lesson, which caused a heated discussion in the village for a few days.

After class, Fan Youcai told him many of the difficulties of the school. Although he did not say it explicitly, Fan Wenbin saw through his fundamental thoughts at first glance. He smiled and happily agreed to take out a sum of money every year to reward three to five good students with good grades. The son of Tiande Zi, Hu Spring Halo, was the first batch of students to be rewarded.

Seeing that Fan Wenbin cared about Tiande Zi's child, Hu Si smiled and said, "His parents are not old, and they are not very sick. Their bodies are very strong and healthy, and they don't have much land either. They farm while taking care of their children to study. They are able to take care of them completely. "

After a moment, he stared at the other party and said, "This morning, Tiande Zi's parents and a bunch of old men and women, and they even drove a small car to cause trouble in the city. When they came back, they bragged everywhere that they would get a sum of money as compensation for this disturbance

Tiande's father was Hu Shijie. He had just passed sixty and was much younger than his parents by many years. He was indeed very healthy. The two families were not too far away, and they only walked for five to six minutes. When he was young, Tiande Zi came to Fan Wenbin's house every day to ask questions about homework.

At this moment, seeing Hu Si say this, Fan Wenbin could not help but feel happy in his heart. He thought to himself, Speak of the devil, speak of the devil. Before he could open his mouth to ask, Hu Si took the initiative to speak of the matter. Hence, he smiled and asked even though he clearly knew his old place, "You're already so old, why don't you stay at home and join in the fun in the city? What's the matter?"

In Fan Wenbin's impression, Hu Shijie and his wife were famous good people that were extradited by the Fan family. They did not offend anyone, and their relationship with anyone was not good. They only knew how to do things according to the rules. How could such honest people get involved in this matter?

Under the stimulation of alcohol, Hu Si, who usually spoke a lot, could no longer control his brain and began to talk about the sequence of events to Fan Wenbin. Of course, many of the details were also hearsay. As for whether it was true or false, Yin and Yang, or whether it was right or wrong, he could not explain it clearly.
