The Big Landlord

No matter which house holds a banquet in the countryside, there are always many relatives from far away. The bed at home is simply not enough to sleep on. It is common for five or six people to squeeze into one bed, but even so, they usually can't sleep. In this case , in addition to laying floors, there is also a very common solution, building paving.

Building a bunkhouse means arranging relatives from far away to sleep in a neighbor's house, or squeezing in with others, or a neighbor vacating an empty bed to sleep temporarily for a night or two. This method is very common in rural areas and can be found in every family. When there is not enough bed for a banquet, they make it convenient for each other, which is very harmonious.

Wang Ben has been very selective about beds since he was a child. What he fears most when moving out is sleeping at night. He plans to sleep in this house tonight and another house tomorrow night. He never knows where the bed will be the next night or who will be in it. , even crowded together with women and girls. Of course, that was when I was a child. Anyway, I was not clean and couldn't sleep at all.

For this reason, he has always disliked visiting people's houses and was unwilling to stay overnight. Whenever he had the opportunity, he would run home without hesitation. Now he has not walked through people's houses for several years. He actually forgot about it. Otherwise, what would he say? I didn't agree to help carry any dowry, it didn't matter if I offended anyone.

The situation seems to be very serious tonight. There are nearly fifty people from Xiushui Bay alone. There are also a lot of relatives in the bride's family. It will definitely be difficult to deal with. Maybe they will be crowded together with several unknown elders. It's really a headache to sleep on a narrow bed.

After dinner, the bride's family started to arrange sleeping arrangements. Those who passed out after drinking were sent away first. Older relatives were given priority. They didn't care where they slept. They slept with a few people. People who turned into pigs when they fell down were also fine. After taking care of it and making a lot of arrangements, most of the house in the bride's house was paved with floors, and there were people lying everywhere. Almost all the beds in the whole village were full. Almost all the couples in the village were ruthlessly separated, including the newlyweds. They are not spared either. The mother-in-law goes to sleep with her mother and sister, while the man sleeps with his father and younger brothers. Otherwise, there is simply not enough room for him.

Not only that, except for the matchmakers, all the people who come from Xiushui Bay are men. The ratio is seriously imbalanced. The beds for women are much looser. In order to make room for these big men, some women from the neighboring families have to go to other places. sleep. Because the family held a banquet and had to kick the neighbors out, it felt a bit like the Japanese had entered the village and the chickens and dogs were restless.

But even so, there are still people who have no place to sleep. In addition to the two tables of guests from the bride's house who voluntarily choose to stay up all night to play cards, there is a last resort, sleeping in turns, one person sleeps for the first half of the night, and the other person sleeps for the second half of the night. After nearly two hours of tossing , except Wang Ben, everyone else has a place to live.

Zijian was arranged to go with his father to build a bunk at someone else's house. Zhan Wu had long been accustomed to sleeping with many people under harsh conditions in Yongfeng City. It was the same wherever he slept. Wang Ben had also been arranged, but he I heard that if you were to squeeze in with six people, you would be unwilling to go there. Instead of sleeping like that, it would be better to just sit.

"Benzi, are you hooking up tonight?" Luo Zhiping, the groom's official, joked helplessly.

"I can't help it, I can't sleep," Wang Ben shrugged and waved his hands and said, "Don't worry about me, I really can't stand it anymore, just lie down on the table."

With nothing to do, we simply gathered at the table to watch a few old men playing long cards. The floor had been paved in the room, leaving only one aisle. Those who chose to stay up all night playing cards could only place the table under the eaves.

He slowly picked up the cards and considered for a long time before picking one out. A game could last ten minutes, and there was still discussion for a long time afterward. After playing for several hours, he didn't get a dollar for winning or losing. Wang Ben was bored and yawned all the time.

I finally managed to hold on until two o'clock in the middle of the night. I felt like my eyelids were fighting. I couldn't stand it anymore, so I found two long stools and put them together.

Just lying on it with all his clothes on.

There were noisy noises from playing cards, and the bride's family was busy all night chopping vegetables and shouting for breakfast. If you weren't paying attention, someone would kick a stool under you. It was hard to sleep at all.

After lying half asleep for half an hour, a gust of wind woke him up. He was shivering all over and his feet were freezing. It was really not like sleeping under the eaves in the winter.

Without even saying hello to the host, I took out a bottle of white wine. Regardless of whether it was spicy or not, I just unscrewed the cap and blew on the bottle. After a few big gulps, I finally felt better.

Unknowingly, there was not much left in the bottle of 52-degree Baigan. I was already empty in the middle of the night. The alcohol quickly took effect. My head began to feel dizzy, my temples began to swell, and I felt light-headed.

I lay there in a daze for another half hour, still feeling very cold, even more uncomfortable than before I drank.

He turned over and got up, half-closed his eyes and walked into the house. He didn't know where he went. With his only consciousness, he felt that there seemed to be a bed in front of him, so he squeezed into it and fell asleep.

He didn't know how long he had slept, but he was woken up by the urge to urinate. A soft hand was placed on his waist, and his chest was being pressed by two soft objects.

Your sister, there are only women sleeping in this bed!

He immediately woke up from the drunkenness, jumped out of bed, and started groping for shoes. There were many pairs of shoes on the floor. In the dark, he couldn't tell which pair belonged to him. After searching for half a minute, he only found one.

"Crack!"

A crisp switch sound sounded, and the room suddenly became bright. A woman sleeping next to the bed probably heard the sound and was halfway up to turn on the light.

"..." Looking at each other, they couldn't see clearly in the haze. They seemed to be quite young. Wang Ben quickly looked away, stuffed his feet into his shoes, and left quickly until he walked out of the house and was on the bed. The woman didn't say a word, and was probably very speechless.

Hey, why did you sleep on a woman's bed? That's the bad thing about rural areas. There are too many things for banquets, and you often have to go to various houses to get them in the middle of the night, without even closing the door.

Blinking his heavy eyelids twice, he rubbed his temples, which were still aching, and walked quickly to the toilet. He opened the curtain, and there was a woman squatting inside, with her white ass in full view.

His sister, from now on, she won’t stay in other people’s houses even if she is beaten to death!

He had no sleepiness at all, so he continued to watch the old men playing cards leisurely, and stayed up until dawn. Fortunately, the women on the bed and in the bathroom didn't recognize each other. Even if they recognized him, they probably wouldn't be embarrassed to say anything. That's the end of it.

After breakfast, the bride's family moved pieces of dowry to the courtyard. They were all brand-new furniture painted with red paint, which was very solid and festive.

The forty or so people who helped carry the dowry each found their own one, took out the bamboo poles, poles, and ropes they brought yesterday, and began to tie them up in an orderly manner.

This was Wang Ben's first time doing this kind of thing. After fastening it securely with the help of experienced people, he and his group members tried to lift it on their shoulders and were shocked.

A small suitcase weighs at least a hundred kilograms and dozens of miles. It’s hard to carry it back!
