Chapter 316, The Feeling of Home

In this era of sunrise and sunset, the entire mountain village has long been silent, and the women have already coaxed their children to sleep, only Zhou Wang's two daughters, Changsheng and Yusheng, are still taking care of the half-drunk man at the table.

The banquet was moved from the house to the open space in the courtyard, and the bright moon could be seen clearly under the sky, the northern latitude of Jin was higher than that of Chang'an, and the cool breeze at night was much cooler than the summer night in Chang'an.

And the cups and plates on the table have already been messed up, the carefully prepared dishes are almost all eaten, the men are still talking about pushing the cups and putting the lamps in high spirits, Zhou Wang's has reorganized a few dishes of his own pickled sauerkraut and other things, and also scrambled a plate of eggs for wine, Changsheng also learned from the modern people to cut a few plates of fruit for them to drink, until the end of the night (nine o'clock in the evening), it is not over.

In the face of this situation, Mingjing, who grew up in depression since childhood, felt a rare comfort for the first time, although Changsheng repeatedly reminded not to lose his temper, but under the hospitality, he still drank bowl after bowl, although the alcohol at this time was not high, but he couldn't stand drinking like this, Changsheng stopped him from drinking it several times, but he didn't care about it and said: "Don't worry about it, lady, it's rare to be happy and comfortable today, I want to drink it well, anyway, we are not in a hurry to go, you just let me get drunk and be happy, what's the matter tomorrow?" ”

Changsheng had no choice but to go with him, and saw that the patriarch, his father, An Sheng, and a few close clan brothers and uncles were also in high spirits, and even Liangsheng, who promised not to drink, drank several bowls, but he couldn't stop them anyway, so he had to go to the stove with his mother to make sobering soup and herbal tea to dry, and boil bathing water for emergencies.

The meal was eaten for two whole hours, and only then did the persuasion of the Zhou Wang clan disperse, if it weren't for Changsheng's worry that the old patriarch would have an accident, I am afraid that they would drink it endlessly.

After the clan dispersed, the sister-in-law and sister-in-law had already gone to coax the children to sleep, and Zhou Wang's family ordered Yusheng to clean up the dishes, and she and Changsheng Liangsheng led Mo'er and the coachman Ding San to pour all the sobering soup for Zhou Houchun, An Sheng and Mingjing, and helped them into the house to lie down.

Fortunately, Mingjing was used to socializing, although he was drunk in a daze, he still had some sense, Changsheng fed him a sobering soup, and helped him take a bath with Mo'er and put on comfortable clothes, until he fell asleep before letting Liangsheng lead Mo'er and Ding San to the patriarch's house to borrow.

After the arrangement, Changsheng breathed a sigh of relief, listening to the sound of clear and heavy breathing on the bed, he couldn't cry or laugh, and said that he had a good rest after entering the house, but he was more tired than usual, Zhou Wang's felt sorry for his daughter, insisted on preparing hot water for her with Yusheng, and watched her sleep after bathing before going to settle down.

Changsheng lay tired beside Mingjing, thinking that she couldn't get up too late tomorrow so as not to be embarrassed, and fell asleep deeply, and it was the first time since she left the house that she slept so soundly.

When I opened my eyes the next day, Mingjing had already dressed and freshened up and looked at her with a smile, and suddenly felt that the light shone in through the crack in the window. Why didn't you wake me up? ”

Mingjing smiled: "I also just woke up and cleaned up, I can't bear to see you sleeping soundly, not to mention that my mother-in-law has an order not to let me call you, saying that you will wake up naturally when you have slept enough, and she also said that there is nothing to let you sleep well today, and you will get up early tomorrow to go to your uncle's house."

Changsheng got out of bed and got dressed, glared at him and said, "Of course I want to go to my uncle's house, but my mother feels sorry for me, what are you messing around with?" Hurry up and clean up, don't miss breakfast" took another breath and said, "What is my mother doing?" It's so fragrant, I'm so hungry."

Mingjing said hesitantly: "I may not be able to catch up with breakfast, I only know that my mother-in-law is preparing lunch, it should be almost good to smell so fragrant, right?" Don't worry, I didn't eat breakfast like you, I just ate lunch directly, and then I know how beautiful it is to sleep until the sun rises."

Changsheng sighed: "How about you take care of my face?" My father, brothers, sisters-in-law, brothers-in-law, and daughters-in-law are all here, as well as my nephews and nieces, I got up so late, or came home on the first day, and you let my face sit there? ”

Mingjing looked at him left and right: "As long as you rest well, don't care if it's embarrassing or not?" What's more, the fertilizer and water do not flow into the fields of outsiders, and they are thrown away in their own homes, what are you afraid of? After speaking, he ignored Changsheng's angry eyes, and whispered in his ear: "Besides, I've been on the road for several days, I've drunk so much wine, and it's normal to get up late, and it's not that I can't get up after doing anything last night, what's so embarrassing?" ”

After speaking, without waiting for Changsheng to throw the pillow over, he hurriedly flashed out the door, Changsheng gritted his teeth and got up to settle accounts with him at night, which would be afraid that it was almost noon, and the fragrance of the meal wafted through the window lattice, making her feel hungry, and quickly got out of bed and got dressed and quickly combed her hair, at this time Yusheng shouted outside: "Is my sister up?" ”

Changsheng opened the curtain, and Yusheng came in with a basin of water with a smile: "Sister, hurry up and freshen up, my mother and sister-in-law are almost ready for lunch."

Changsheng took the water and put it away, and said angrily: "Mother is really, treat you as my little girl, I will go back to my own home, and treat me as a guest"

Yusheng pursed his lips and smiled: "I was originally my sister's little girl, and I grew up behind you when I was a child, isn't it just like a little girl?" Changsheng burst out laughing when he heard this, isn't that what is going on when he thinks about it?

After freshening up and leaving the house, the sun was already hanging high in the sky, fortunately, the weather was cooler than Chang'an, and the courtyard was full of green trees, but it was also refreshing, and the mood was particularly comfortable.

Zhou Ansheng's eldest son Shuangfu is nine years old, and his daughter Shuangxi is also six years old, this age is already sensible, seeing that Changsheng brings them good things that they have never seen every time he comes back, and the food at home is much better after Changsheng comes back, so he loves this aunt very much, and the two of them are waiting for her to get up at the door of Changsheng's house, but when they saw Changsheng come out, they all ran away shyly, and the two little Shuanglu and Shuangchan were still in the courtyard looking at Changsheng in a daze, calling out to their aunt in their mouths, Changsheng smiled secretly, Let Mo'er go and bring them snacks and fruits to eat.

Father and eldest brother seem to be talking to Mingjing in the upper room, the sound of spatulas colliding and the sound of pulling the bellows are heard from time to time in the stove room, bursts of tempting fragrance come from time to time, there are chickens and pigs in the backyard, a good farm scenery, stretching for a long time, and said to Yusheng with a smile: "It's good to go home, I haven't been so comfortable for a long time"

As he was talking, Zhou Wang's family came out of the stove room and ordered him to set up a meal in the hall, and Changsheng pretended to be aggrieved and said: "Mother, why don't you wake me up, let me be so embarrassed, now even my nephews and nieces know that I am lazy."

Zhou Wangshi poked her forehead dotingly, and scolded with a smile: "Dead girl, I feel sorry for you and you want you to sleep more, and it has become mine, hasn't it?" Don't be reckless, go to the kitchen to see if the food is to your uncle's taste, don't let him be wronged in our house."

Changsheng pretended to be angry and jealous and stomped her feet and ran into the kitchen, she didn't care whether the food was in line with the Ming and clean tastes, whether it was good or bad, her mother did her best, no matter whether it was good or bad, she felt at home, she went to say hard to her sister-in-law and brother-in-law
