“Those who travel from village to town to sing social operas are the ‘troupe’. If one member of the troupe fails to manage things well and leads the whole troupe to fail, then it is called a ‘dirty troupe’, which is inherently embarrassing!”

"Okay, I'll write it down, and here's another word I missed, 'to carry' means to be involved..."

Mu's father watched for a while: "Elbow, what on earth are you doing?"

Mother Mu almost died from laughter. She held a spatula in her hand and rubbed her tears with her arm: "This kid came in and asked those old sayings. I almost couldn't remember many of them. After he said it,

I just remembered it, and I still remembered it seriously, it was so funny..."

"Hey! You're serious about stock trading!" Zhou Zhi lowered his head: "Here comes another one, today's harvest is huge! Thank you, auntie!"

"Hahahaha..." Mu's mother couldn't even order the beancurd anymore. She handed the spatula to Mu's father, supported the cupboard with one hand and covered her stomach with the other: "I can't stand it anymore... I'm going to laugh out loud..."

"You just pour the pot into the pot!" Mu's father was also brought into the context, and his own dialect also came out: "I am laughing, but I can't kill him!"

Zhou Zhi already felt that he was going crazy. He was writing frantically while muttering to himself: "To take off means to be finished. It should be 'poke off'. In ancient Yin Tongjie, Su Dongpo called himself 'Jie Monk' and was demoted to Huangzhou."

Writing a letter to the Buddha's seal, 'The monk has cut off the precepts now,' is clear evidence that Jiachuan originated from the southwestern Mandarin of the Song Dynasty..."

"Jinge, the original word should be alert, and the word 'ge' here is the entry sound, which is almost the same pronunciation as the Cantonese word 'jue', and the same as 'Xiheng'. This is also evidence that ancient proverbs have been spread and preserved in both places..."

"

"Sha cut, it should come from Jiachuan Changpai term. The second long pai is called 'kill beard', and the end of a game is called 'cut'..."

Mu's father saw that Zhou Zhi was taking notes very carefully, so he knew that this boy might really be doing something serious, and that he might have really misunderstood him just now.

However, Mu's father cannot be blamed for this, because his mother-in-law's dialect was often laughed at by outsiders.

But he still couldn't help but feel a little ashamed for his misunderstanding just now: "Elbow?"

Zhou Zhi turned to the first page of the notebook and showed it to Father Mu: "Uncle Mu, Auntie, I am doing a survey, a field survey on Jiachuan dialect. Jiachuan County is now seriously polluted by Mandarin and foreign languages. Auntie speaks pure Jiachuan dialect.

, to me, it is simply a treasure trove!”

"Is this...serious knowledge?"

"Of course, you are a serious person in stock trading!" Seeing Mu's mother want to laugh again, Zhou Zhi said: "Auntie, don't laugh. Anyway, I'm not going anywhere these two days, so I'll knock you down and ask, 'Come to the hall.'

Don’t think I’m a ‘picker’, because there are so many lights!”

"Hahahaha..." Mother Mu's smile seemed to be low, but now she couldn't help it anymore, she pointed at him and said: "I don't want to avoid the dialect of elbow. As long as you don't mind my cuddles, I will accompany you enough."

!Ha ha ha ha……"

…

…

When Mu Ruyun took his classmates out for a tour and came back, he saw his mother and Zhou Zhi sitting on a bench outside the hall, each talking and taking notes, and bursts of happy laughter came from time to time during the conversation.

Now my mother is absolutely radiant, she seems to be several years younger, and she looks just as good as Zhou Zhi when she was smiling and talking to Yan Yan, and she is just as good as a mother and son who have a good relationship.

Mu Ruyun was completely stunned - this turtle... I have only been gone for a while... and someone... wants to usurp the throne?

Mu Ruyun knew my mother's character well. Because she had a strong accent and was afraid of other people's jokes, it was difficult for her to speak out in front of outsiders.

Now look at that posture, it’s my mother who is giving the lecture!

Mu Ruyun looked up at the sky in confusion. Did the sun come out from the west today?

"We're back! Let's have some lunch then!" Mother Mu stood up with a smile and pulled Zhou Zhi up by the way: "You made me so happy today, elbow. Let's take over after dinner!"

"Mom! What did he do to the elbow?!" Mu Ruyun was very sad and angry. Your son is here!

"Didn't you say that I speak uncouth?" Mother Mu was very proud now: "I'm so smart, but I still picked up a book and made a profit! Hmph!"

After saying that, he went to prepare the food, leaving Mu Ruyun there as if he was struck by lightning.

Mom, that last snort... was... was it... coquettish?

When Mu's father brought out a wine jar, Zhou Zhi knew that none of the men here would be able to escape today.

Plum wine has a color similar to wine when poured out. It is sour and sweet with rock sugar added, and it tastes extremely delicious.

So when I drink it, I just feel it tastes good and I can't feel the alcohol content. When I start to feel a little drunk, hahaha... by then it's already too late.

It has great stamina, and few people who drink it for the first time can avoid getting drunk.

"Girls can do as they please, boys as they please!" Mu's father said decisively, and then began to pour tons of wine into a soup basin: "We won't drink much at noon today, just this basin."

The boys looked at each other in confusion. Is this the unit of measurement for drinking in the forest farm?

The food is quite good, the main dish is cured pork with bean curd, scrambled eggs with wild vegetables, stir-fried mushrooms with dry peppers and dried cowpeas, chicken with pickled peppers, and fried chicken with green peppers and fungus.

Pan-fried chicken is a dish that is very, very rare to eat nowadays. Generally, chicken is a main dish in every restaurant. If it is served as a stir-fry dish like Mu's, there are generally only two possibilities.

One is that this family is rich, and the other is that this family raises chickens.

Of course, the Mu family has a third possibility - they are rich and they also raise a lot of chickens.

Because they were all classmates and juniors, the old rule of the hostess not going to the table was no longer necessary. Mu's mother also sat next to Mu's father, and even took the initiative to pull Zhou Zhi to sit next to her.

Indeed, we can't blame Mother Mu for being partial. Mu Ruyun wanted to sit next to his father and take care of the wine table. The main reason why he invited Zhou Zhi here was because it was easy for this kid to chat and he could talk freely.

A simple bowl of wine can turn a table full of men into dead dogs.

In addition to Mu Dad's style, he is indeed a veteran.

Zhou Zhi is still sober in the world because of his great assistance.

Mu Ma's drinking capacity may be even more arrogant than Mu Dad's, and she did not refuse Zhou Zhi to ask her for help after receiving the drink. Zhou Zhi secretly poured it into her wine bowl and she pretended not to notice, which is quite a bit like "A scholar will die for his confidant, and a woman will die for her."

The mentality of "please yourself is the one who pleases you" is in it.

I'm afraid this metaphor is not very appropriate, but that's the meaning.

But the rest are not good, the worst ones are Fang Wenyu and Yan Xiao.

Yan Xiao was taught how to be a good person in minutes because she danced too much.

Fang Wenyu was the son of an old friend, and Mu's father believed that not keeping Fang Wenyu well would be a disservice to his old comrade.

The girls were actually pretty much the same, mainly because Ye Xin was a bad leader and made them think that plum wine might be like wine.

Fortunately, Ye Xin had been controlling their dosage, and in the end, it was Ye Xin, Mu Ruyun and Zhou Zhi who carried them to the room upstairs one by one.

When he put He Yongmei on the bed, He Yongmei still held Zhou Zhi's hand and smiled stupidly: "Elbow, Yan Xiao and I have to hide in a hole to play hide and seek. I'm really happy..."

"Yes, yes, yes..." Zhou Zhi said perfunctorily: "You drink like this and you still don't forget to sprinkle dog food... Be good, sleep well..."

"Elbow!" Feng Xueshan on the opposite side was unhappy: "Come here and coax me!"

"Coax you to coax you..." Zhou Zhi had no choice but to push down Feng Xueshan, who was trying to push herself up: "Sleep well, this kind of sleep is the most comfortable."

"Well, Ralph is not good, you can't be Ralph..." Feng Xueshan closed her eyes, but started to mumble again: "...Teach him a good...monk again! You should be honest..."

Zhou Zhi couldn't help but laugh and cry. Ralph is the most contradictory character in "The Thorn Birds" and is also Meggie's true love: "You still want to be the eldest sister after all this, so just sleep well..."

After settling the two of them, Zhou Zhi went downstairs again, and together with Ye Xin sent Zhang Xinyi and Jiang Shuyi upstairs to rest.

Jiang Shuyi's body was limp and her face was red, but the girl was too thin. Although she was much taller than He Yongmei, when Zhou Zhi was carrying her, she felt that they were about the same weight.

When Zhou Zhi saw Jiang Shuyi in his previous life, he always felt that she was nervous.

But where did this tension come from? Zhou Zhi never asked about this even after confirming the relationship with her.

Then if you miss it, you miss it.

In this life, because my mentality has changed and I have observed more carefully, this feeling has become more obvious.

This time everyone went on a trip together, which made Zhou Zhi more and more certain that this girl had something serious on her mind.

And now, he is far from reaching the stage where he can let her reveal his feelings.

Looking at the sleeping Jiang Shuyi, Zhou Zhi felt that this girl might only forget about her worries and truly relax when she concentrates on studying, or at times like this.

This is also the time when this girl is most beautiful.

Sighing softly, Zhou Zhi covered her with a thin quilt.

"Zhou Zhi, let's go." Ye Xin said. At this moment, she seemed to be much more mature than usual.

Zhou Zhi nodded, then looked at Zhang Xinyi, who was also sleeping across from him, and retreated from the room with Ye Xin, walking downstairs.

"Zhou Zhi can drink well." Mu's father smiled when he saw the two of them.

"If it weren't for aunt's help, I would definitely be the first to fall." Zhou Zhi smiled and said, "Uncle has seen it a long time ago, but he just didn't expose it."

"Daman is so fucking smiling today, I don't even remember what year it happened."

Something flashed in Father Mu's eyes as he looked at Zhou Zhi: "Our whole family is really happy that you are here this time."

"It's our turn to thank our uncle and aunt for their hospitality and not complaining about us being noisy. Auntie even cooked us such a sumptuous table. That little fried chicken is something you can't even get in the city these days."

"That's because your aunt wants to show off her skills!" Mu's father also seemed to be a little drunk and said with a smile: "Your aunt used to like to laugh. You don't know, when I went to Lijiazhai for a blind date, it just started.

I didn't even see your aunt, but I heard the laughter in that room, and it immediately touched my heart."

"As soon as I see someone, I'm telling you, I'll know right away that I'm going to have to run around for the rest of my life!"

"How shameless are you! Say this in front of a junior!" Mu's mother came over with a rag, just in time to hear Mu's father's words, the old couple blushed.

"There is a saying in the forestry farm at the back, saying that Daman's mother 'doesn't talk a lot and everyone is a lady, but when he does, everyone will suffer'. Even Daman was teased by his classmates when he was a child."

Mu's father smiled and said, "I didn't expect that you would still say that it is a treasure today with that dialect."

"Auntie's dialect is really a treasure." Zhou Zhi took out the notebook and said, "It's just that not many people in Jiachuan know its value."

"Uncle, what auntie said is called Southwest Mandarin. It has been spread to our area since before the Song Dynasty, and our ancestors have been speaking it."
