Xu Taiping didn't know, but a few women made a bet. Who Xu Taiping would choose, even if the others lost, they would have to agree to win. Who knew that Xu Taiping would not choose anyone, so this bet could only be scrapped.

"Taiping, come out for a drink!" Ah Tu's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Who are they?" Xu Taiping asked.

"We're from the same village, come over here, in my restaurant!" Tu said.

"Alright!" "Give me a few minutes." Xu Taiping agreed and went back to his room to change.

It was night, and the streets of the town were lit by dim street lights.

Xu Taiping walked into Tu's shop, rubbed his hands together, and said, "Why is it getting colder and colder?"

"I heard it's going to snow in two days! You can take a seat. " Tu said while cooking.

"En!" Xu Taiping nodded and sat on the table.

At the side of the table sat a group of young people, all of whom looked to be around twenty years old.

"This is the son your Aunt Qiu Ying brought, and also my son. You can just call him Little Mo." Ah Tu pointed at one of the handsome boys and introduced him.

Xu Taiping knew that Tu was married to Qiu Ying, so it was reasonable for Qiu Ying to bring such a young son.

"Hello!" Xu Taiping nodded to the other side.

"Hello!" Little Lord Grim greeted Xu Taiping.

"These are my son's classmates." Ah Tu pointed at the other young men and said.

Xu Taiping glanced over those people. There were two men and two women in total, and they all looked young.

"Are you guys taking advantage of the winter vacation to come to our Crimson Flame Town to play?" Xu Taiping asked.

"That's right!" One of them said with a smile, "I heard Little Mo say that you guys are going to be in the lava for the next few days, so I specially came to take a look."

"Peace, why don't you bring Little Mo and the others to play in the mountains these few days? You know, I don't have much time, and Little Mo came here with your Aunt Qiu Ying, so he's not familiar with this scenic area either. " Tu said.

"Sure!" Xu Taiping nodded, "It just so happens that my friends haven't played in the scenic area, how about we go into the mountains tomorrow?"

"That's great. With you around, I won't worry about letting them go!" Ah Tu said as he took the dishes out from the pot.

This was a dish that Xu Taiping loved to eat. Stir-fried pig lung and beer were a perfect match.

"Little Mo, go get some wine. We need to drink two more cups with your friends tonight!" Tu said.

"Alright!" Little Mo nodded, turned around and walked to the cabinet at the side, and came back with a case of beer.

"What is this?" A pretty girl frowned and asked as she looked at the steaming hot pig lung on the table.

"This is pig lung, I just bought it this morning, it's definitely delicious!" Ah Tu laughed.

"Pig lung?!" Isn't that just the internal organs of a pig? How disgusting! " The girl shook her head and said, "I don't eat this. Is there anything else to eat?"

"Business is doing well today, so there's not much to eat. "There's still some peanut rice, can I go stir-fry it for a while?" Ah Tu asked.

"Peanut? I'm not used to eating these things. Little Mo, I'm going up to sleep, so I won't play with you guys. Remember to call me tomorrow. " As the little sister spoke, she didn't even greet the others and directly turned around to walk up the stairs.

"I'll help you make the bed!" Little Mo quickly followed behind her and headed upstairs.

"Let me ask all of you. Student, is this girl my Little Mo's girlfriend?" Ah Tu asked in a low voice.

"How can that be? Shu Ting has a lot of people chasing her, but Little Mo is also one of her pursuers. This time, Little Mo's main purpose is to invite her to play with you!" A boy said.

"So that's how it is. I was still wondering if it was my Little Mo's girlfriend. She's so attentive." Ah Tu scratched his head and said.

"Little Mo's family is so well-off, I'm not interested in you." Another girl at the side said.

Ah Tu smiled embarrassedly, then said, "Come, in the countryside, there's nothing good to eat. Let's have some."

"Indeed." The boy who'd spoken before took the chopsticks and flipped through the contents of the plate, saying, "You really aren't fussy about such a small place like this. This plate is so dirty. Forget it, I'm not eating anymore. I'm going up."

With that, the boy also went upstairs.

The remaining man and woman looked at each other, then said to Tu together, "Uncle Tu, we're not eating anymore. We're not hungry, we're going upstairs to rest!"

Finished speaking, the two of them went upstairs together.

"There are so many rules in this city." Ah Tu laughed, as if he was not the least bit angry at the other party's rudeness.

As a matter of fact, people in the city had seen quite a lot of these kinds of people while doing the Ah Tu business. In fact, people in the city had seen quite a lot of these kinds of people when doing the Ah Tu business.

"Young people nowadays lack a home tutor." Xu Taiping said as he picked up a piece of pig's lung with his chopsticks.

"The people in the city aren't as good as us. They've never seen a guy like us before. It's hard to avoid him, there's no meaning to it." Ah Tu laughed and said.

"Home tutors are things that don't distinguish between the rural areas of the city." Xu Taiping shook his head. He was already somewhat against taking these kids to play on the mountain the next day.

"Don't mind it." Ah Tu bent down and picked up the beer on the ground, opening it and handing a bottle to Xu Taiping, "They don't drink it, let's drink it, let's go."

Xu Taiping smiled as he took the bottle of wine, gulping down half the rest.

"This is great!" Xu Taiping put the pig lung into his mouth, feeling the crispness, and said, "I've eaten fried pig lung in other places, but none of them tasted as good as this one."

"Of course not, I'm talking about firewood and the fire. Right, peace, I heard quite a few blind dates talking about you today." Ah Tu suddenly said.

"What did you say?" Xu Taiping asked.

It's peaceful, we're all fellow villagers, although they are wrong, but as the saying goes, distant relatives are better than close neighbors. You have to build good relations with your fellow villagers while staying alone in our town. Tu said.

"I know." Xu Taiping nodded, "What else are you talking about?"

"That's about it. There's quite a lot of people talking about it. Everyone is talking about it now." Tu said.

"That's still not enough. I was told even more miserably outside. Aren't I still living a good life?" Xu Taiping laughed.

"Your heart is quite big, just like your father. Aiya, when I see you, I immediately think of your father. It's such a pity." Ah Tu sighed and said.

"It's all in the past now." Xu Taiping smiled and shook his head, "No matter what, my dad has become a loess. But Uncle Tu, do you know where my dad was buried?"

"I don't know about that. When your father found me and gave me the box, he said that he knew that his days were numbered, and then he left our town. As for where he went in the end, I don't know either." Ah Tu shook his head.

"What the heck, we can't even burn incense for him if we want to." Xu Taiping said helplessly.

"It's enough to have a father in your heart. Come, drink one!" Tu picked up the bottle and clinked it with Xu Taiping.

The two drank as they chatted. Soon, Little Mo came down from upstairs.

Little Mo's face didn't look good.

"Dad, didn't I tell you earlier that a guest came to our house today and asked you to prepare some good things? Why did you prepare all these things!" Little Mo pointed at the items on the table and said.

"Isn't that great? "I even added shrimp to the fried flour. This fish was caught today by Old Wang next door, and there's even this boar's feet. They won't be able to eat this kind of meat even if they're from the same town!" Tu said.

"Fish and meat, who hasn't eaten? Don't you know how to prepare yourself?" You've harmed my enemy in front of my classmates! " Little Mo said angrily.

"Don't you know how expensive the game is? Plus, you might not even be able to get one. Today, I heard that you got a king cobra, but that one cost 2000 yuan. Which one of us can afford it?" Tu said.

"It took a lot of effort for me to get Shu Ting to come over to our house to play. This is exactly how you shamed me. You make me so angry that I don't want to talk to you anymore!" Little Mo stomped her foot in anger, turned around and left.

"This child, how can he be like this? This pig's feet are his favorite food, and there's even this Red Braised Fish! What kind of good food is this? What is he disdaining?!" Ah Tu asked in confusion.

"Boys who are pursuing girls will pay extra attention to their performance in front of girls." Xu Taiping said.

"I really don't understand what the young people of today are thinking!" Tu shook his head helplessly.

At this moment, the sound of footsteps came from the stairs, followed by a group of students walking down together with Little Mo.

"Where are you guys going?" Ah Tu asked.

"We're going to release fireworks!" Little Mo said.

"Let's release fireworks. Why are we still setting them up for the new year?" It's cold again! " Tu said.

"Don't worry about us. Shu Ting, let's go. These fireworks are really pretty!" Little Mo said ingratiatingly to Shu Ting.

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to it!" Shu Ting laughed.

The group of people walked out as they spoke.

"Put fireworks in the open, don't put them in town, okay?" Ah Tu shouted.

"I know, I don't need you to tell me." Little Mo said.

"Kids these days, the older they are, the more they can't control them." Tu sighed helplessly.

Xu Taiping picked up the bottle and said, "Drink our wine and let the young people play."

"Hah!" Tu clinked the bottle with Xu Taiping, then drained it in one gulp.

Not long after the two of them drank, they heard the sound of fireworks exploding coming from outside.

A beautiful rainbow light flashed from time to time outside the door.

Xu Taiping looked at the lights and frowned. From the brightness of the lights, it was easy to tell that the fireworks exploded not too far away.

The sounds of fireworks continued for more than ten minutes before stopping. At that moment, a shout came from outside the door.
