Chapter 16: The Bearded Uncle and a Group of Uncles



Fu Dabai walked on the road for two hours carrying A Yuan, and when they arrived at the county town, they entered a house as if they were familiar with the place.

A friend of his whose parents had both passed away and who was already married lived here. Because no one was taking care of him and his wife had a good temper, his home soon became a gathering place for a group of bad friends.

When Fu Dabai is not at home, he usually hangs out here drinking and hanging out with friends.

So Yuan was awakened by the noisy noise, and when he opened his eyes he saw a big face approaching.

Yuan was so frightened that he fell backwards: What is this? !

The big man, whose face was half covered with beard, burst into laughter when he saw Yuan wake up. He rubbed her head and shouted in a loud voice:

"Wake up! I'm your father's brother, little Yuan, right? Call me uncle now!"

When Yuan was not naughty, she was still very obedient. When she heard someone asking her to yell, her father did not refute her. She rubbed her sleepy eyes and called out in a daze:

"Uncle!"

A tall and thin man next to him immediately said:

"A Yuan called me, I'm the second uncle!"

Just as Yuan was about to speak, his father covered his mouth.

Fu Dabai laughed and scolded:

"Skinny monkey, you are so itchy, how dare you take advantage of your father!"

"Fu Da! You're taking advantage of your father again!"

The skinny monkey was unhappy and pretended to be angry.

Men's friendship often manifests itself as each competing to be the other's father.

Yuan didn't know what was fun about this, so he could only turn his little head around to watch the fun.

Fu Dabai pointed at the six men in the room and said with a smile:

"Yuan, except for this one you have to call uncle, you can just call everyone else uncle.

Your third uncle, fourth uncle, fifth uncle, sixth uncle, seventh uncle, if you can’t remember them all, just call them uncle.”

Yuan was now completely sober, and had lost his previous generosity. When he was put down, he hid behind his father, sticking his little head out, and looked at these people timidly and obediently.

Fu Dabai pointed at A Yuan and smiled shyly at him.

The skinny monkey who asked Yuan to call him Second Uncle was the last one, Seventh Uncle.

Yuan read it once and memorized it all——

The one with the big beard is my uncle.

The frail man in the blue gown is Uncle San.

The one with the square face is my fourth uncle.

The one who is particularly fat is Uncle Five.

The one with shifty eyes is Uncle Six.

The tall and thin monkey who is always moving is Uncle Seven.

Yuan recognized everyone, then hid himself by hugging his father's legs:

There were so many people, she was scared!

The men all laughed when they saw her look.

The uncle with a beard on half of his face laughed especially loudly:

"This kid is just like those kids in my family! Damn it, when he sees me and these brothers, he's like a mouse seeing a cat!"

The words were not pleasant to hear, but the uncle still liked Yuan very much. He patted Yuan's head twice, fumbled around for a while, took out his purse, grabbed a handful of copper coins, and stuffed them all into Fu Dabai without even looking at how much they were:

"Brother, take this and buy some candy for your niece!"

Others also took out some money and gave it to Yuan, but they were not so generous, some gave three or five cents, and the fat uncle gave ten cents.

It was obvious that the relationship between the few people was really good. Fu Dabai didn't bother to be polite with them at all. He took all of them neatly, patted Yuan on the head and said:

"A Yuan, hurry up and thank your uncle, thank the uncles."

Yuan really likes this bearded uncle. Although he rubs his head very hard and makes Yuan's hair a mess, and he almost sits on the ground, he is so generous!

Although she didn't communicate with the others, she knew that they were Daddy's friends. These people looked at her with friendliness and kindness, and they all gave her money!

Even though Yuan was only three years old, he knew that money was a good thing. Besides, except for the eldest uncle and the chubby fifth uncle, the people here didn't look very rich, and their clothes were patched up.

My grandma once said that people who are willing to be nice to others when they themselves are having a hard time are very precious!

Even if these people are nice to her because of their father, she is still very precious!

My mother also said: Money is a good thing. If someone is willing to give you money, you should at least say thank you!

Yuan also said: If I had money, I could eat a lot of delicious food!

For various reasons, although he was a little shy and timid, Yuan still hugged his father's legs, turned his face and showed a big smile, and said very obediently and seriously:

"Thank you, uncle! Thank you, uncles! Thank you, Oh!"

"Well, we're family, why should you be polite to your uncle!" The bearded man smiled heartily and handed the purse to the skinny monkey, asking him to arrange dinner, saying that he would treat them today.

This group of people were used to the bearded man's generosity and were not polite to him.

The skinny monkey was the owner of this household. He asked his wife to hand over the purse to him and he didn't have to worry about anything else.

The woman quickly prepared a table full of food and wine, including - scrambled eggs!

Fu Dabai said he would take Yuan to eat for free, and he really got a table full of delicious food.
