Chapter 5: Rejoice
Leisurely greeting everyone, laughing happily, feasting happily, drinking wine, eating meat, and a group of people, etc., as if returning to the past, that unrestrained and unhindered moment.
Leisurely couldn't help herself with a few joys, and when she learned that everyone had left their hometowns and came specifically to follow her, she was even more overjoyed, and drank three cups in a row.
The wine was drunk, and Chen and Uncle Zhou blocked it several times.
A group of people were laughing, and Blacksmith Qiu suddenly said in surprise: "Brother Zhou, why don't you see your aunt?" ”
After being reminded by his father, he remembered that there was one less person. If you want to say that Uncle Zhou's family left their hometown, they should take the old man with them! Although it is said in the "Book of Filial Piety", the high hall is here, and it is not far away. Not to mention leaving his hometown, but, if it is really a last resort, he has to leave his hometown, since his wife and children are following, there is no reason to let go of his mother, not to mention, Uncle Zhou is such a pure and filial person!
Could it be ......
Leisurely's expression changed sharply, and he looked at Uncle Zhou's family.
Sure enough, since hearing Blacksmith Qiu's inquiry, Chen first secretly wept, and both Zhou Dafen and Zhou Dajin bowed their heads and remained silent.
Uncle Zhou endured it without losing his temper, and said in a low voice: "Thank you, Brother Qiu, and the owner's concern." It's just that my mother and her old family are not blessed and have not survived this harsh winter. ”
Really......
The house is silent.
"Uncle Zhou, you mourn."
"Brother Zhou, please mourn. Alas...... This winter is indeed colder than in previous decades, which is rare. ”
Everyone sighed and mourned for a while, and Uncle Zhou suddenly relaxed, drank a glass of wine first, and thanked everyone for their concern.
After drinking, he said, "This winter." It's really cold! During the days at home, every time I saw this day, I was always worried about you walking on the road, the adults were better, but the two girls were so young...... I've been worried, worried, before my mother left, she nagged me, and it was you. Say the owner. She's an old man. In the end, I was confused, and asked Juzi why she didn't come to see her for a while, and then said, where did Juzi go...... It's so clear from time to time. Sometimes confused......"
Said by the people. Tears again.
"Actually. At first, I was going to take my family with you. However, the old lady has a long life. I really can't bear to travel long distances, so I can't bear to tell you, the owner. Originally, I planned to wait for this harsh winter to pass, and our family took my mother to chase after it slowly, but unfortunately, ......"
Her eyes were moist, and tears were rolling in her eyes.
"Uncle Zhou, Aunt Zhou...... If I knew that it was like this, even if I was killed, I would not leave Shou'an this winter...... I didn't even see my grandmother for the last time......"
In the leisurely words, there is remorse.
Uncle Zhou and Chen were busy persuading, and Zhou Yuancheng on the side also said some words about the round, and after a long while, everyone passed this hurdle.
It's just that during the banquet, the previous joy has long been lost. Even if Chen and the others have been smiling and looking for topics.
"Well, this chicken stew is really fragrant!" Xu Maosheng took a bite of the chicken fiercely, his mouth was full of fragrance, and his expression was called enjoyment.
"Yes, yes, this look, it's Luhua Chicken." Chen also praised.
When Wen Po heard this, she immediately came to her senses, "Oh, you still know, big sister, let me tell you, I don't dare to boast about anything else, this chicken, especially Luhua chicken, I have to raise it." Although this chicken is good, it is still tender, and if it is raised for another month, the meat will be called a tendon. ”
Wen Po began to babble and pulled up the chicken warp.
"It's a pity that Brother Qiu is too anxious, so he will kill me today." The steady woman pouted like a child.
Blacksmith Qiu was not convinced, "Hey, I said, old sister, isn't it a distinguished guest today!" ”
"I was going to kill the old hens, but you said that they had just been raised and were going to lay eggs, so I ordered someone to kill this broiler chicken specially used to eat."
Everyone laughed, and the atmosphere at the banquet was faintly improved.
Xu Maosheng said suddenly: "Hey...... When it comes to eating meat, I just remembered, why don't you see grass? And Ye'er? By the way, Atai is not there either! ”
"Yes! You see, just now I felt that there was something missing, and when I saw the owner, I was so happy that I forgot about it. Chen stood up and looked at Youran, "Boss, what about the children?" ”
"Alas...... It's really annoying...... "Sigh leisurely, and briefly explain the matter.
Wen Po and Chen were both shocked: "No lunch? ”
"Yes, the owner, the children are too young, is this punishment more severe?" Uncle Zhou, Uncle Li, and Uncle Zhang followed.
People, once they get old, their hearts tend to soften.
leisurely looked at the expressions of several people, looking at himself as if he was looking at his stepmother.
"The owner, if you want to achieve the purpose of educating the heart, there are many ways, this is not allowed to eat, facing the wall or something, I don't recommend it."
It was Zhou Dafen who spoke, he had a master-apprentice friendship with Gao Xiangye and Gao Xiangcao, and often got along day and night, and his feelings for the two children were not comparable to ordinary people.
In fact, Youran also knew that his punishment was a little reckless, but at that time, he couldn't let it go, on the other hand, Uncle Zhou and they were about to enter the house, so they were a little hasty in dealing with it.
"Punishment! You have to be punished severely! Ataina Bear Child! Recently, I've been busy, neglected to discipline, and I've been going to the house more and more! Also, the yard is bigger, it's much more fun, and someone to play with him makes him even more carried away! Don't say you don't eat a meal, you should punish him for not eating for two days! Even if you are fooling around, you dare to take my precious granddaughter! Is that tall horse something that a little girl can ride? ”
Blacksmith Qiu looked at everyone and said that the leisurely punishment was too heavy, and he couldn't help but be anxious. Today's incident, he didn't know it, he was really shocked when he said this, that bear child, it was really more and more energetic!
"But, Ye'er and Cao'er are so well-behaved, why can't they be allowed to eat?" Blacksmith Qiu was very distressed, "Hua'er, it's all their uncle's fault, it's his uncle who broke the baby!" ”
"Hey! Look what Daddy said! Look at all of you, I didn't say I wouldn't let you eat, I just postponed the meal! "It was unnatural to be stared at by everyone's hot eyes.
"That's not good, people are iron and rice, and if you don't eat for a while, you'll be hungry." Zhou Dajin answered.
Well, I took it......
Surrendered leisurely, turned his head and smiled: "Changle, did you see it?" Today I am guilty of the wrath of the people. ”
Changle covered his mouth and said with a smile: "The owner! You've been punished a little harder! Besides, the ladies have long known that they were wrong! When I went to see it just now, they were honestly discussing how to admit their mistakes to you. ”
"Really?" Leisurely with joy on his face, and pretended to be solemn for a moment, "That, for everyone's sake, Changle, you go and bring your uncle and young lady over, and in addition, bring that Jinbao over." ”
"Whoa!" Changle walked away happily.
When Gao Xiangye and Gao Xiangcao came in with their little heads, there was a sudden commotion in the house, and they all went to pull the little hands of the two and stroke the little heads of the two.
There are many expressions on his face, and he keeps calling people in his mouth, and when he is done, he secretly glances at Youran with his eyes.
"Alright, let's sit down and eat. Today, your grandfathers, grandfathers, grandmothers, and uncles are all interceding for you, and your mother is not angry, as long as you remember, you will not do it again in the future. ”
Hearing Youran say this, the two babies hurriedly admitted their mistakes, and raised their little hands softly to promise that the cute little appearance, even if Youran was angry in his heart, it would disappear without a trace.
For a while, there was a lot of laughter at the banquet.
"Atai, don't just look down, eat vegetables!" You noticed that Qiu Atai was wrong, so he smiled and served him vegetables.
He turned his head to blacksmith Qiu again, and said coquettishly: "Dad!" ”
Blacksmith Qiu sighed and said solemnly: "Everyone intercedes for you, and your eldest sister also said that you know your mistakes, and since you know your mistakes, you must correct them in the future." Okay, that's it. Eat well. ”
When Qiu Atai heard this, he hurriedly breathed a sigh of relief, got up and took a step back, knelt down and said, "Dad!" Eldest sister! Atai guarantees that it will not be an example! ”
"Yikes! Seriously! Hurry up, Atay! "Leisurely busy to help him.
Only then did I realize that there was still one kneeling in the distance.
"Jinbao, you get up too!" smiled leisurely, and instructed Su Bai on the side, "Give Jinbao a bowl of this crispy Luhua chicken, take two fried fish pieces and two cakes, and send Jinbao back to the room." Now that the house is eating, Jinbao should be able to catch up, if he can't catch up, then tell the kitchen to make a side dish for Jinbao. ”
"Yes, host." Su Bai responded with a smile, then picked up Jinbao, who was still dazed, and walked out of the house.
All the way, Jinbao was stunned and felt incredible. Said that he would punish himself for not eating at noon today!
In fact, Jinbao was satisfied enough with this punishment, he originally thought that he was going to be punished. What is it if you don't eat a meal, you used to be an artist, you couldn't beg for food, why not eat a meal?
But now, not only did he let him eat, but the master also rewarded him!
"Little fool! What do you want? Su Bai turned around and asked.
Jinbao, who was walking behind, hurriedly followed.
Su Bai smiled again, "Don't you understand?" ”
Jinbao nodded, for a child who was only over ten years old and was not smart, it was indeed a bit difficult to think about these things.
"Now, the grandfather has spoken, and he has been exempted from the punishment of his uncle, and of course you will be fine! Jinbao, you remember, you are your uncle's personal servant, and your words and deeds are closely related to your uncle. And don't be hooked by those villains with dark ghosts. Ride, lead your uncle to do something inappropriate! Since we sold ourselves and entered this house, then life and death are here, but we can't just take care of the master's happiness and forget everything! ”
Su Bai's words were serious, and Jinbao burst into tears when he said it, and nodded again and again.
"Sister Subai, I remember!"
"Hmmm! Let's go! ”
Su Bai smiled and nodded, took the food box, and walked faster. (To be continued......)
