Chapter 41: Drinking

It wasn't until a fork in the road that the two separated, Jingsheng walked in the direction of Li Tuhu's house, and Peach Blossom went all the way to Lao Haitou's house. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Lao Haitou is an old man in the village, and I heard the villagers say that when he was young, his family was poor and he had no money to marry a daughter-in-law, so he slowly became an old bachelor. When he was in his thirties, the family finally saved some money, but Lao Haitou's father got sick again, and they all said that the poor don't get sick, and the room was empty, isn't it, Lao Haitou's father's illness completely emptied the family's savings, and soon he left, Lao Haitou's mother was heartbroken, coupled with perennial fatigue, his body collapsed early, and he followed Lao Haitou's father soon after.

Lao Haitou thirties man lying on the grave crying miserable, after packing up some belongings and went to the city wine shop as an apprentice, but also found some doorways, a few years later he returned to the village, guarding the old house left by his parents, purchased some things, made some wine at home, the taste is also good, the men in the village love to drink, he also depends on this for a living, slowly life is better, although he is older, but there are also people to introduce him to relatives, there is no lack of older old girls or widows, the appearance is good, but the old Haitou no longer mentions the matter of marrying, every day alone, happily brewing his own wine, teasing the children in the village, the days are also considered to be free.

Before the peach blossoms walked to Lao Haitou's house, they smelled a smell of wine, which was mellow and refreshing, which made people feel refreshed for a while.

The courtyard door of Lao Haitou was wide open, and Peach Blossom walked all the way in, shouting, "Grandpa Hai, I'm here to drink." ”

An old man about fifty years old walked out of the house, with gray hair, smiling eyes, no hunchback, walking with wind under his feet, looking very tough, looking at Peach Blossom and said: "Peach Blossom is coming, go, grandpa will give you wine." ”

Lao Haitou led the peach blossoms to the side of the house, which was specially used to make wine.

When I entered the house, I found that this was connected to two rooms, the inside should be for winemaking, and the outside was used to put the brewed wine, and one after another wine barrels were displayed there.

Lao Haitou lifted the lid of a wine barrel, and the room was suddenly filled with fragrance.

"It's so fragrant!" Peach Blossom took a deep breath, saying that she hadn't drunk alcohol for a long time, although she was not addicted to alcohol, but at this time, she smelled the fragrance of wine, and she also missed that taste.

"Hehe, you're still a little girl, you can't drink this wine. Lao Haitou said with a smile, "When you grow up and want to drink, grandpa will give you a jar of good wine." “

"Wow, really?" said Peach Blossom in surprise.

Lao Haitou looked at the little girl in front of him, her puffy cheeks, her eyes were smart, her heart was tight, and she smiled: "Grandpa doesn't lie!"

"En. Peach Blossom nodded repeatedly.

Old Haitou scooped wine from a barrel into a small jar. Peach Blossom took the wine jar and handed the money to Lao Haitou.

"Come, add another scoop to our little peach blossoms. Lao Haitou scooped a little more into the wine jar, and then sealed the wine jar.

"Thank you, Grandpa Hai!" Peach Blossom said sweetly, "I'll return the jar when I get home and pour out the wine." ”

"Hehe, no hurry. Lao Haitou shook his head and sent Peach Blossom to the door to watch her go away.

"Goodbye Grandpa Hai!"

"Hey, walk slower. Old Haitou instructed behind him.

Peach Blossom walked home with the wine jar, and glanced in when she passed by San Lang's house, Wang Pozi stood in the courtyard, her hand crossed her waist, and the other pointed to the daughter-in-law standing on the side, foaming at the mouth, and scolded: "You lazy woman, you don't know what work to do during the New Year, and you still point to me to feed you, do you want me to bring the food to you, do you want me to chew and feed you! I don't know what you're eating, our old Wang family really poured blood mold for eight lifetimes to marry your mother-in-law back. ”

Mrs. Wang seemed to be tired of scolding, standing there panting, her face was red and her neck was thick, as if she felt that she had scolded others for a long time and didn't even give a move, so she simply rushed directly into the house, and then there was a burst of screams.

"Ouch, mother, what are you doing, I haven't slept enough, what are you pulling my quilt for!"

"You're a pig, get out of here. ”

"Bang", "bang", there was a sound of things falling.

"Wow wow......" Siya seemed to have been hit by something, and couldn't help crying.

"What are you crying about, losing money and goods, cheap things, don't hurry up and cook. I want to starve my mother, I'm right!"

"Pounce" Siya was kicked out of the house, his face was red and swollen, he was wearing a thin cotton coat, he sobbed and got up from the ground, and was about to turn around and saw the peach blossom standing outside the door, and the tears in his eyes suddenly flowed out, and the peach blossom took a step forward, and finally stopped.

Then he turned and continued to walk home, ignoring the commotion behind him.

In fact, the situation of Siya is common in the village, or in this era, and girls are not even as good as animals or objects that can bring benefits to people. But what can Peach Blossom do, she has no way, she doesn't have the strength to fight against this big era, and she doesn't have the ability to help Siya.

Peach Blossom spit out the turbidity accumulated in her heart, raised her head, and became more and more determined in her heart, she must earn more money in the future and live a good life, and she still has a dream in her heart, not big, but it can definitely be realized!

Not far away, Peach Blossom arrived at the stone bridge and wanted to wait for Jingsheng to go back.

Peach Blossom put the wine jar aside, and then went to the stone bridge, and the snow on the bridge had already been almost cleared by the villagers, leaving only a little snow on the edge. Peach Blossom stretched out her feet and kicked the snow into the water little by little, and the white snowflakes fell lightly, turning into transparent ice, and then slowly sank to the bottom of the water. Peach Blossom saw it interestingly, and went to the shore to rub the snow and throw it into the water, having a lot of fun.

"Ha, I'm so lucky today, pick up the jar wine. Brothers, how about I invite you to drink today?" An extremely obscene voice sounded, which could only be described as obscene, revealing treacherous and pompous.

Peach Blossom looked up and saw three or five teenagers standing on the side of the road, the oldest of them, about fifteen or sixteen years old, holding his wine jar with a proud face.

"That's my wine. Peach Blossom hurriedly ran over.
