Chapter 84: Drinking too quickly
"Lu Yao, let me correct you again, we are our own people, Ah Xin and I don't like others to call us bosses, and besides, we are not bosses. We are destined to come together and work together, we respect each other, learn from each other, help each other, and make progress together, not too cliché. If you don't think it's appropriate to call me by my name, call me sister. I'm the same age as Ah Xin, we are both twenty-nine years old this year, we are almost ten years older than you, it's still okay to be your brother and sister, are you okay?" Ah Ying asked.
"I, no opinion! It is the honor of my life to be able to call you brothers and sisters! ······"
"Look, here we go again. You're also a person who has read a lot of books, why are you still so old-fashioned? Since we're all our own people, can we not be so cliché?" asked A-Ying.
"Okay! I remember, I'll pay attention next time!" Lu Yao replied solemnly.
"Alas, it's not easy for you to turn a corner. Okay, just let it be, as long as you don't call me and Boss Ah Xin. Let's take a lunch break, you've been overworked these days, you can rest a little more at noon today, and go out later. After four o'clock, the orchard was out of the sun. A-Ying said.
"I won't have a lunch break at noon today, there is a lot of gravel in the orchard where I want to hoe today, and the hoeing speed is not fast, so I have to work overtime to complete today's workload. After Lu Yao finished speaking, he turned around and walked into the dormitory, and took off his straw hat from behind the door.
"Lu Yao, the soil quality of the entire orchard is like that, and it doesn't matter if the progress of hoeing is slow. During this week, you have done more work every day than the prescribed workload, so don't add to yourself. A-Ying said.
"Last night I listened to the weather forecast on the radio, and from next month, it could be the rainy season. I had to hoe all the grass in the orchard before the rainy season came. Lu Yao said, walked quickly into the kitchen and picked up the herbal tea bucket, and then walked to the back of the yard.
"Lu Yao, the weather is too hot at noon! I'm going to get heat stroke!" Ah Ying shouted.
"No, I brought Huoxiang Zhengqi water and cooling oil, which can prevent heat stroke!" Lu Yao's voice replied from outside the iron gate.
A-Ying was still not at ease, she chased behind the iron gate with her rice bowl, and saw that Lu Yao had already plugged in the iron door and locked it, and the person had disappeared into the lychee forest.
A-Ying shook her head with a wry smile, and quickly turned around and walked back. Two big girls ran over, and the room was filled with the sound of babies crying.
A month has passed in the blink of an eye. This afternoon, as long as Lu Yao finished hoeing the grass in the last two acres of land, all the grass in the entire orchard was hoeed.
Although new grass grows in the orchard that has been hoeed in the last two months, the pressure of hoeing will be much less later.
After four o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Yao finished the weeding work. Last night, he listened to the weather forecast on the radio, saying that from midnight tonight, there will be an extreme weather process with heavy to heavy rain accompanied by strong gusts of wind, which will last for a long time and will enter the rainy season later.
He was worried that when the rainy season came, the grass hoeed in the past two days would not die, so he went back to the tool room and got an iron rake, as well as a bamboo pole and a rope, and then went to the orchard, raked the grass that he had hoeed in the past two days in batches, and then tied it into bundles and carried it to the woods on the mountain to tie it into a haystack.
During this time period, Ah Ying came to the orchard twice and asked Lu Yao to go back for dinner, but he didn't go back.
After nine o'clock in the evening, Chen Gong returned on a Suzuki motorcycle. He heard A-Ying say that Lu Yao was still picking grass in the orchard to the woods on the mountain, and he also took Nanzhu and a rope and came to the orchard to pick grass with Lu Yao.
They worked with flashlights until after eleven o'clock at night, when they picked up all the grass they had hoeed for the past two days and put up the haystacks.
They returned to the shack, Chen Gong and Lu Yao came out of the shower separately, and Ah Ying had already brought the steaming meal to the table.
Lu Yao just sat on the stool and didn't hold chopsticks yet. Chen Gong brought a full glass of liquor to Lu Yao, and said with a pleasant face: "Brother, you have worked hard in the past month! Brother thank you! Come, let's go one!"
"Thank you Chen Gong, these are the tasks that I should complete. You are so busy with work every day, and you rushed back in the middle of the night to help me pick grass, I should thank you! I toast you with a glass of wine!" Lu Yao finished speaking, and tilted his head to drink the wine.
"Hahaha! You've always been so humble. Okay! Refreshing! I'll do it too!" Chen Gong smiled and said, picked up the wine glass and tilted his head, and dried it too. But before he could put his glass down, he hunched over and coughed violently.
A-Ying hurriedly took a glass of warm boiled water and put it in front of Chen Gong, and said softly: "Don't be too anxious to drink, there is time at night, take your time." ”
"The main reason is that I rarely drink alcohol, and this time I am in a hurry, and I am really a little unbearable. I didn't expect Lu Yao's drinking power to be better than mine, he drank a glass of wine in one gulp, and there was nothing to do. Cough, cough!" Chen Gong said with a red face, and coughed a few more times before gradually calming down.
"I'm sorry, I'm in a hurry. Lu Yao hurriedly said.
"It's okay, drinking is an atmosphere, a momentum. That's what I lacked, so I rarely drink. There are no outsiders tonight, A-Ying doesn't drink, just us brothers, we must have a good time! Come, eat the vegetables first! There is something in the stomach, drinking is not so uncomfortable, ah, hmm!" As soon as Chen Gong's words came to this, he felt that the contents of his stomach were rolling in his mouth, and he couldn't hold it down at all. He quickly covered his mouth with a tissue and ran to the toilet.
"I'm sorry old and sister, I didn't know that Chen Gong couldn't drink. Lu Yao immediately stood up, looked at A-Ying with a bitter face, and said guiltily.
"Don't be nervous, it's none of your business, I don't blame you, Ah Xin will be fine if he vomits. If you have a bad stomach or drink too quickly, you will have such a situation. You sit down and eat, I'll go see him. After speaking, A-Ying grabbed a pack of tissues from the table and walked briskly towards the toilet. Lu Yao also hurriedly followed.
After about five minutes, Chen Gong finished vomiting wine in the toilet, washed his face again, and then walked out and reached out to take the paper towel in A-Ying's hand.
"Why did you all come here? Oh, I'm really not good at drinking! I really don't drink much alcohol in normal times, but I didn't expect it to be such a dish and let Lu Yao see the joke!hahaha!" Chen Gong said with a smile while wiping the water stains on his face and hands.
"Don't dare, in fact, I drink very little, and I usually don't drink at all. Lu Yao said.
