第60章 核!合!和!(46)

95.Mr.Qiang sniffed angrily at the sight,moved both his hands forward,and pressed with the palm facing down meaning to stop."Cut it out!Cut it out!There is no need to quarrel,if your thing can't be settled for now,it can be settled some other days.I wonder if it is so hard to figure out an obvious fact?" said him sullenly."I admit myself beaten in the rebuilding contest!Huode,you enkindle Huang's gong with the club ahead,and I declared my losing and feast on your back.Let's go!" Cai followed instantly.Quite unexpectedly,however,Huode didn't follow the words of his master Cai.He quickly picked the gong up from the ground,saying,"Fuck the gong off!Master,you didn't lose!" and threw the gong out of the entrance door.The gong moved upside-down a few distance on the ground and then stood erect rolling down the slope."My gong!" yelled Huang and made a dart for the gong.Interestingly,Huang was then acting like an impatient and anxious monkey,which made everyone laughed.Abruptly,in the far distance came the continuous bang of beating gongs and drums.And the sound was approaching.People in the courtyard all felt puzzled about the drums beating,since what was thrown away afar just now was simply a single gong!Just then,Xiwa and Huang Hao ran into the courtyard screaming and shouting,"Grandpa!Grandpa!Our schoolmaster et al are coming to deliver you a plaque for your good deeds,let's go to meet them!" at the moment,the drum corps had already arrived right out of the entrance door beating gongs and drums.The schoolmaster and the dean of teaching affairs were jointly uplifting a long plaque into courtyard when they spotted Mr.Qiang.And the headmaster hastened to greet him warmly,"Mr.County head,I thought you've gone!""I will go nowhere before I take the braised pork." answered Qiang smilingly.With that,ceremoniously,Cai and Xiwa wearing small red flowers on his chest took over the plaque with seven golden characters in it "Ten small doors benefit but many generations." With his lovely chins lifting,his teasing eyes winking,Xiwa grinned,"Grandpa!Look at me!Young as I am,I can tell major issues form minor ones.Are you proud of me?"Cai smiled to his extreme and said with blush,"My good boy!You do set a clear example for me to follow!"When being made clear about the whole thing,Mr.Qiang was moved deeply.He walked up to have Xiwa clutched tightly to his arms and said to Cai,"You have so good a grandson!How I envy you!And all the more,I' m grateful for everything you have done in the earthquake relief efforts!Villagers of Huangjiawan will never forget your kindness!" "Mr.County head,thank you for saying so,but some of the credit shall go to Mr.Huang.Actually,his bemisted mind is just confined to the contest,over the big things,however,he is quite rational." replied Cai quickly."Huang!Huang!" yelled out Cai."Senior Huang is not here,but junior Huang here.My grandpa is now sending for people and I'm here to apologize on his behalf." Huang hao walked up and spoke sonorously.With that,Huang hao made Cai a low bow,and then a salute to Xiwa,saying,"Follow your example!".The two buddies then clung tightly together.

96.Again,in the far distance came the continuous beating gongs and drums and Huang's exclamation: "Folks!I lost in the rebuilding contest.For now,I have had everything prepared for well in the backyard!And I treat you folks to dinner,to braised pork...!" Bang!Bang!!

97.It turned out that while going for the gong,Huang bumped into his grandson.When learning from Huang what's going on a moment ago in Cai's house,Huang hao felt mad instantly at his grandpa,"Grandpa,my grandma was right!You simply come short of reckoning.Just for what Cai had done for the school,Xiwa was awarded up to ten small red flowers!And our headmaster even advocated us to follow his example!But,look at you!You knew well that 30 doors were already delivered right here yesterday afternoon,with 15 doors for each.Still,you flied at Cai without in advance figuring out the whereabouts of those ten missing doors.What a shame!Everyone knows what will come of it!How could you do it that way?" scolded Huang Hao sharply in an agitated tone.Listening to these harsh words,Huang got heated up and was on the verge of explosion.Yet he had to restrain his anger,knowing well that he deserved it.Not until when the words bugged him to death did he finally open his mouth,"Good boy,you are right!It's all my faults!I was so muddle-headed as to have done such a stupid thing,pardon me please!Now I am going to beat the gong admitting failure and treat all the folks over to braised pork." Thereupon,he beat the gong crying out repeatedly,"Attention!Attention please!I am Huang Manfu,I lost the rebuilding contest,and I treat you fellows to dinner,to braised pork in the backyard...!
