Everyone ignored Zhang Yao's grievances and discomfort, Qiao Yan's face was quiet and innocent, and he was proud in his heart, and he quickly cooked a meal at the top of the sun.

After bringing all the wine and food to the dining table in the hall, Zhou beckoned Zhang and a few girls to come to the table, and when he saw Zhang Yao washing his hands and face on the edge of the well platform, he couldn't help urging: "Hey, Yao'er, hurry up, what are you grinding?" ”

Zhang Yao's face was full of black lines, and he replied weakly to his mother: "Okay, I know." ”

waited until everyone was on the table, and then the meal was served, Zhang Wang and Qiao Cheng chatted hotly, Zhang and Zhou listened to it and occasionally interjected a few words, Zhang Yao was supported by Qiao Liu and told Qiao Yi and Qiao Li about the interesting things he encountered.

Everyone laughed several times, and Zhang Wang and Qiao Cheng, who were drinking drunk, began to call Zhang Yao to drink together, and Zhou laughed and said, "You two still can't drink well?" Let Yao'er drink too, and I'll drive you back in a while? ”

Zhang Wang innocently touched his neck, Zhang Yao completely pretended not to see it and continued to laugh with the three girls. Qiao Yi thought for a while and said to Qiao Cheng: "Dad, didn't our family brew flower wine before?" Can you also take it out for your uncle to taste at this time? ”

Qiao Cheng reacted and patted his head and smiled: "Look at my memory, I actually forgot, I'll move it." ”

Zhang Yao, who was on the side, heard it, and asked with a look of interest: "Flower wine?" I've never drunk flower wine? What is flower wine? Even Zhang Wang and Zhou looked at it curiously.

Zhang explained to everyone with a smile: "This flower wine, not bought in the market, it is a method that Gardenia came up with, she called Liu Er to pick fresh osmanthus to dry and soak the osmanthus wine, our family has not drunk it!" ”

Zhang Wang and Zhou only then understood that Qiao Cheng had already come out with a jar of flower wine while speaking, and placed it firmly on the ground next to the table, opened the altar seal and took the wine spoon and added two bowls of wine to himself and Zhang Wang: "Big brother, you should also taste it quickly." ”

As soon as the altar seal was opened, the aroma of wine mixed with the fragrance of flowers rushed out, and it filled the entire room in an instant, and he sniffed and sniffed fiercely: "This wine is really fragrant!" ”

Saying that, he picked up the wine bowl and touched it with Qiao Cheng: "Come, let's all taste the flower wine brewed by my niece." ”

The flower wine goes down the throat, and the fragrance of the flower wine is more intense and warm in the mouth, which only makes people feel that the floral fragrance and slight sweetness go straight to the throat, which is unexpectedly delicious.

Zhang Wang closed his eyes and said his tongue: "Good wine, as soon as you enter it, you know that it is good wine, and the strong fragrance is also in the wine, Gardenia, you girl is smart and clever!" ”

At the moment when he had just opened the seal, Zhang Yao looked at Qiao Yi in surprise, and after listening to his father's words, Zhang Yao was hooked by the aroma of wine and smiled: "Uncle, can you give me a bowl, I can't help but want to taste this aroma of wine." Then he immediately assured Zhou: "It's just this bowl, I just taste it, and I won't drink more." ”

Both Zhou and Zhang laughed at him, Zhou handed over a new bowl Qiao Cheng picked up the wine spoon and filled the bowl, and handed it to Zhang Yao: "I really can't stop you, if you want to taste it, try it!" ”

Zhang Yao took the wine bowl with a smile, brought it to his lips and took a sip lightly, he didn't say anything for a while, just lowered his head slightly and raised his eyes to look at Qiao Yi, and he was also a little surprised in his heart, and Qiao Yi had not seen her for a while, she was really different from the past now, and her wisdom and cunning and whimsy would not happen to her in the past.

Slowly put away his doubtful eyes, and then put down the wine bowl in his hand with a smile: "It is indeed good wine, I don't want to say that I just listened to it, and I have never heard of such wine." ”

Qiao Cheng smiled and patted the big wine jar: "If you like it, this jar of wine, you can move it home, you can drink it if you want." ”

Zhang Wang listened to Qiao Cheng's words and patted his thigh with a smile: "I'm just waiting for your words, let's say it first, when you take it out, you just say that you tasted it, but you are not allowed to drink this wine again, don't I have already drunk half of it before I moved home." ”

Qiao Cheng laughed and sealed the wine jar: "That's nature, I also sealed this wine, let's not look at it." ”

Zhou and Zhang also laughed on the side, Qiao Li and Qiao Liu were children who could only laugh secretly, only Zhang Yao smiled and carefully concealed the trace of scrutiny in his eyes since he drank the wine.

Qiao Yi was very unhappy in his heart: What do you see, you get drunk after two sips of wine? Could it be that he sensed something was wrong with me? Qiao Yi was alert in his heart, raised his head slightly and glanced at Zhang Yao, no, it is common for children to have a change in temperament, although this cousin does not seem to be so easy to fool, but at most he feels that he has changed a little from the last time he met, is there any evidence, what do I have to worry about.

Qiao Yan raised his head that was lowered when he was thinking, and when everyone was talking and not paying attention, he viciously rolled his eyes at Zhang Yao, who had been staring at him, and then turned his little head to the side and stopped looking at him.

And Zhang Yao, who was rolled by Qiao Yi, was a little confused, and was rolled his eyes inexplicably, isn't it because he kept staring at her? This girl has a big temper, she doesn't like my cousin after not seeing her for a few days, how can it be? They don't like me, so I think I'm going to have to think about what's wrong!

Yu Guang watched Zhang Yao retract the gaze that had been on him, picked up the wine bowl in front of him and took another sip of wine, Qiao Yi was relieved, hoping that this playful and naughty cousin was just suddenly interested in himself, and it was best to forget about it after drinking, but don't make a lot of fun to test yourself!

The Zhang family had lunch at Qiao's house, and they were going back after a while, only saying that the two families were close to each other and could move around at any time, Zhang and Qiao Cheng brought a few girls to say goodbye at the door, and the adults were talking, but the corners of Zhang Yao's mouth hooked up a smile and came to Qiao Yi's side: "I am in the Wuling School in the county seat, if you have something, you can go to me for help." ”

Qiao Yi looked over with some doubts, and Zhang Yao only advised: "Remember clearly, Wuling Academy." As he spoke, he walked over to Zhou's call, got into the carriage and said goodbye to Qiao Cheng and Zhang.

Qiao Yi looked at the carriage that was moving away, frowned slightly and whispered softly: "Wuling Academy? ”

Qiao Li looked at her suspiciously: "Third sister, what are you talking about?" Are you talking to me? ”

Qiao Yi hurriedly raised his head and smiled at Qiao Li: "It's nothing, eldest sister, let's go back to the house too!" ”

Qiao Li nodded and followed Qiao Yi back to the house.

Qiao Li and Qiao Liu cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks in the kitchen, and Qiao Yi wiped the table with a rag and swept the floor. Zhang sat in front of the door and said to Qiao Cheng with a smile: "I didn't expect them to like the flower wine brewed by Gardenia so much." ”

Qiao Cheng nodded: "Yes, but the wine made by Gardenia is really delicious." ”

Qiao Yi looked outside the door and thought about it, and said with a smile: "Dad, mother, didn't our family say before that the wine should be sent to Uncle Lin?" ”

Qiao Cheng nodded: "That's right, I bought wine before to prepare a thank you gift for Brother Lin, and I will definitely give him a jar of this wine." ”

Zhang said with a smile: "That's for sure, but why don't you invite the Lin family to our house for dinner in the evening?" There is no shortage of wine and food, not to mention that the fish we caught were brought to the eldest brother and sister-in-law's family, and there are still four left! ”

Qiao Cheng patted his leg in agreement: "Okay, then let's say so, when it's late, let the girl invite the Lin family to come." ”

Seeing that Qiao Cheng and Zhang's family were settled like this, Qiao Yi couldn't help but be happy, there was no movement outside the door until now, it seemed that Lin Shi was back again, otherwise Lin Yi would have come over a long time ago, as long as he invited the Lin family to dinner at night, he could ask Lin Shi about Xiao Chi.

Qiao Li and Qiao Yi, who had cleaned up the kitchen, were also smiling when they heard the news that the Lin family would come to dinner in the evening, and then took out the earrings that Zhang Yao brought this time and discussed them warmly, it was nothing more than Qiao Liu chattering non-stop, and Qiao Li occasionally answered a few words. Qiao Yi was a little bored and took out a book of "Commandments" from the small fourth room, sat in the corner and read it seriously, even Lin Shi passed in front of the house, stopped and glanced at the door A few times The girl who was holding a book under the eaves and letting the sun shine on the hem of her skirt didn't notice it.

The sun was slowly setting in the west, and Zhang looked at the shadows of the trees under the sun and said to the house: "Li'er Liu'er, get ready to cook early!" ”

When Qiao Yi heard this, he immediately put down the book, stood up and said to the Zhang family: "Mother, then I will invite the Lin family?" ”

Zhang nodded: "It's good to invite you to go, our two families don't need to be invited twice just across the courtyard wall." ”

Qiao Yi put the book in his hand back into Xiao Si's room, and ran to the door of Lin's house in a few steps, no matter what, he still had to make sure that Lin Shi was not at home before he could put his mind at ease, but as soon as he arrived at the door, Qiao Yi saw Lin Shi, who was sitting under the tall plane tree in the courtyard and watching Lin Yi's homework.

Lin Yi looked at Qiao Yi, who appeared in front of the door, stood up and called out loudly: "Sister Gardenia, why are you here?" ”

Lin Shi also looked over, stood up and nodded and smiled at Qiao Yan, and Qiao Yan replied. smiled and touched Lin Yi's head beside him and said to Lin Shi, "Brother Lin, are Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin at home?" ”

Lin Shi shook his head slowly: "My father and mother went to the market, they should be back soon, is something wrong?" ”

Qiao Yan also shook his head and said with a smile: "Nothing happened, it's just that my father and mother asked me to invite your family to come to my house for dinner in the evening." ”

"Really? That's great. Lin Yi said happily, Qiao Yi was amused by his tone, and looked up at Lin Shi, Lin Shi asked softly, "Did Uncle Qiao and Aunt Qiao say why they invited me to my house?" ”

Qiao Yi shook his head decisively: "I didn't say it, Brother Lin, you remember to tell Uncle Lin and Aunt Lin that you must come!" ”

Although Lin Yi was ignored, he still nodded seriously, and Lin Shi also nodded with a smile: "I know, our family will definitely go." ”
