As the saying goes, if it's snowing, it won't be cold if it's snowing. Although the sunshine was not very strong throughout the day today, it melted to some extent. At night, the temperature dropped significantly, and you can see the icicles on the eaves early tomorrow morning.

It was really cold outside, but inside the house it was as warm as spring, and the atmosphere was very warm. There were many people invited tonight, and two large tables were made. I was afraid that there would be no manpower to cook, so I invited Lu Feng to help.

.

A group of women were busy in the kitchen, but a group of old men in the living room were eating so much that their mouths were dripping with oil and their heads were sweating. Rural people are not as sophisticated as city people. They don't need to cook exquisite and beautiful dishes. They just want to eat big fish and meat on the ground.

, coupled with the strong soju, people can eat and drink as much as they want.

After five dishes and three rounds of wine, the old village chief stood up and said, "The commander-in-chief invites everyone to drink because he is looking down on you. Let the commander-in-chief say a few words."

A group of men who were eating and drinking vigorously put down their chopsticks and cheered loudly. They all looked at Zhang Taiping and others talking to him.

Zhang Taiping happened to have a few words to say, so he stood up without hesitation and said with a rosy face: "It's not really a big deal to invite you all to drink today. It's mainly a happy event in my family. My wife is pregnant again."

I am so happy that I want everyone to come and have a few drinks to share."

In recent years, with the improvement of national quality, people have gradually realized the benefits of having only one child. The family planning policy has been relaxed, and the punishment for having a second child is not as severe as it was a few years ago. Most families will also be punished.

It’s only two to three thousand yuan, so I’m not afraid of what anyone will say now. If this had been done a few years ago, it would have been too late to hide it. How could I have dared to say it in such a big way and even hold a banquet to celebrate? I would have hidden it long ago.

I went out of town to wait until I had a baby and then came back.

After hearing such joyful news, everyone smiled and toasted.

The first child born in the Zhang family was a girl. Everyone knew that Zhang Taiping had a lot of quarrels with his wife because of this matter in the past two years. Now that there is a possibility of another son, it is right to be happy. So they all raised their glasses and said a few auspicious words.

However, the people in this mountain area are not very educated, and the congratulations they uttered were only a few words back and forth, and some even made jokes.

"Giving birth to a big fat boy..."

"I think it would be nice to have twins, a boy and a girl..."

"Have a son soon..."

No matter what he said, as long as he came up to toast Zhang Taiping, he was not afraid of anyone who came. He poured down the large one-and-a-half-inch high wine glass one by one without blushing or gasping for breath.

"Okay, okay, let the commander thank you. If you get drunk, there will be no master." The old village chief saw that after a round of toasts, he came out to smooth things over.

Wang Laoqiang saw that Zhang Taiping didn't feel drunk even after drinking one glass of strong wine, and there was not even a trace of red on his face. He said in surprise: "The handsome man has a good drinker. He must have drunk three or four kilograms at least.

He actually acted like a fine person."

In the evening, Wukong came back with his girlfriend. After seeing the meat and wine, he wanted to join in the fun, but Zhang Taiping drove him into the kitchen and sat on the kang with a group of children.

Although everyone at home treats Wukong as a child, and often lets him sit at the table when eating. He is really sensible and can use chopsticks and bowls, and will not do anything out of the ordinary. But he is definitely not a human being.

, it’s inconvenient to let it sit on the table when entertaining guests. It’s a bit outrageous.

But this guy was a drunkard. He couldn't sit still after asking about the smell of wine. After a while, he got off the kang and handed a cup to Zhang Taiping, begging for a drink.

People who often come to Zhang Taiping's house are not surprised by his behavior, but people who don't come often are really surprised.

"Commander, can your monkey still drink?"

The old village chief smiled and said: "Hey, this is not an ordinary monkey. It has been psychic for a long time. Not only can it drink wine, but it can also use chopsticks. It is no different from humans except that it cannot speak human language."

"Hey, this is my first time seeing such a magical monkey."

Wukong could understand people's words. After hearing the words, he grinned proudly at the speaker, and then handed the cup to Zhang Taiping with a squeak.

"Sure enough, I'm psychic!"

Zhang Taiping was helpless. The wine he drank tonight was strong liquor. He didn't dare to pour more wine for him. He was afraid that it would get drunk and go crazy, so he only poured one cup at the bottom.

But this guy was a little greedy, so he drank up the wine in the cup with a slurp, and then handed the cup over.

"Okay! Don't drink more." Zhang Taiping scolded.

When Wukong saw that he couldn't wait for the wine, he jumped up and down a little, scratching his head and ears, which made everyone laugh.

"If you want to drink, please pour me some more." A man next to me shouted.

This guy Wukong can also act cute and cute. He bows his waist and bows, which is really pitiful.

Zhang Taiping had no choice but to pour half a cup for it, and then said: "That's all, go to the kang."

Probably because he felt that there was no hope of rescue, he took the wine glass and went into the kitchen to get on the bed.

Tonight, probably due to the smell of meat, Xiao Zi and the big-tailed squirrels that were always wandering outside also came. Zhang Taiping threw two pieces of beef to them and sent them away. Xiao Zi is an omnivore, but

It eats meat most of the time, and only occasionally eats fruits and vegetables. However, the big-tailed squirrel is an out-and-out vegetarian. I don’t know how these two little guys got together.

Drinking strong drinks in the winter is one of the most enjoyable things for men. After a few glasses of wine, not only the body becomes warm, but also the temper becomes more relaxed. The atmosphere in the room is extremely lively, with bursts of laughter from time to time.

Just as everyone was chatting happily, the door was suddenly pushed open from the outside. A cold wind blew in, making the people sitting near the door shiver. Everyone sitting in the room looked towards the door.

go.

At the door were Wang Peng's mother and his pregnant daughter-in-law. When they saw Zhang Taiping, Queen Mother immediately cried and said, "Commander, you have to save Wang Peng!"

Wang Peng's daughter-in-law has been pregnant for more than eight months. She came here with a big belly at night. Something big must have happened.

Zhang Taiping quickly welcomed the two of them into the house and said, "It's cold outside, let's come in first." Then he shouted into the kitchen, and Lu Feng and Cai Yazhi came out and helped Wang Peng's wife in.

Seeing that the two of them were a little distracted, Zhang Taiping patted the Queen Mother's arm holding his sleeve and said, "Auntie, don't be anxious. Please sit down and talk about what happened."

Wang Peng's wife had witnessed the scene outside, so she was calmer. She slowly sat on the stool and said, "Wang Peng has been kidnapped."

Everyone in the room had one sided expression on their faces. They had never seen anything like this before.

Zhang Taiping said: "Don't panic first, tell the matter carefully."

Zhuang Yu calmed down and explained what happened in detail: "A few days ago, the beauty salon called me and said that someone was making trouble. I couldn't move around now, so I asked Wang Peng to go over and handle the matter. Unexpectedly, Wang Peng

After I left, I couldn’t contact you by phone, and I haven’t seen him back in the past two days. Someone called just now and said that he wanted 2 million to be redeemed at 12 o’clock tonight, but he wouldn’t wait until later. He also said that he couldn’t call the police.

Otherwise, the vote will be torn up immediately.”

"Up there?"

"They didn't say anything. They just told me to take the money to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda Square at twelve o'clock and they would contact me again."

Zhang Taiping frowned. It takes at least nearly two hours to get to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda from here. Plus, it’s inconvenient to go out due to heavy snow and the mountains are closed. It’s not fast on the road. It takes at least more than three hours to get to the Big Wild Goose Pagoda. It’s eight o’clock now.

If there are too many, you have to leave immediately.

Zhuang Yu said: "The main thing is to get the people back first. The money doesn't matter, just treat it as a way to use it. But I don't have that much cash here, only half a million." After saying that, he handed over a box.

The Queen Mother immediately cried and said: "We must bring Wang Peng back. I can even ask my aunt to kneel down for you."

Zhang Taiping hurriedly comforted the Queen Mother. The bank was closed long ago at night, so it was definitely impossible to go to the bank to withdraw money. Fortunately, he kept more than one million yuan in emergency money in the space, and he would withdraw some from home.

I can scrape together two million.

Calling Cai Yazhi into the bedroom, Zhang Taiping took out all the money from the space. Cai Yazhi took out some more money from the cabinet, and added the 500,000 that Zhuang Yu brought, making up two million.

The village chief stood up and said: "Commander, do you have enough money? If not, let the villagers collect some." In the past, the old village chief would not have dared to say these words, but it is different now. After selling the purple trembling wood,

Every household has tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of spare money.

Others also agreed.

Zhang Taiping shook his head and said: "No, the money is enough." Then he said to Wang Gui, "Brother Wang, please come with me."

"It's okay, something like this happened in the village, I should go there." Wang Gui immediately agreed.

Wang Laoqiang also stood up and said, "I'll go too."

Old Man Qian is not behind: "Let's go together."

Zhang Taiping shook his head and said: "Everyone has good intentions, but in this matter, the fewer people there, the better."

After hearing what he said, the eldest sister said nothing.

"We must rescue Wang Peng." The Queen Mother cried and said. She and Wang Peng depended on each other to pull Wang Peng up. If something happened to Wang Peng, her life would really fall.

Zhang Taiping said firmly: "Don't worry, Auntie, I will definitely bring Wang Peng back."

Cai Yazhi stepped forward and warned Zhang Taiping: "You have to be careful."

Zhang Taiping nodded and smiled to comfort her and said: "It's okay. Don't you still think about my ability? At most, I can use money to redeem the person. Nothing will happen to him, so don't worry."

After saying that, he carried the box and walked out the door with Wang Gui.
