Chapter 086 Good Girl, Let's Go Home
The eighth aunt was making some snacks, and Yun Luoling was studying beside her, saying that learning was actually just fiddling with SLR. Because she will have a solo photo exhibition after the Olympics. This woman has clear eyes and sees all aspects of life as art.
Dong Xiaokui is a pragmatic woman, learning from the eighth aunt on the side. In terms of the comprehension of life skills, Dong Xiaokui's qualifications have always been good. The eighth aunt was very happy, and heard that Dong Xiaokui had learned cooking skills from Xu Zhonglin's uncle for a while. The eighth aunt's conversation box was opened. talked a lot about the Xu family, including Xu Zhonglin's childhood.
Dong Xiaokui listened carefully and asked occasionally. Busy until sunset. Birds chirp in the woods of the courtyard. The eighth aunt made some side dishes, boiled vegetable leaves and porridge, and asked Dong Xiaokui to accompany her to the wine cellar to get wine.
Yun Luoling was circumnavigating a sycamore tree to photograph the glow projected from the forest. The light of the setting sun dyes the light dance, rendering a quiet and serene dusk.
"Aoi-chan, you go to the wine cellar. I'm going to have allergies. Yun Luoling was busy snapping pictures and shouted loudly.
"Xiao Luo is going to be a nerd. I like to fiddle with this SLR or something all day long. The eighth aunt said that the basket made of bamboo was the kind commonly used in the countryside of Shuzhong.
Dong Xiaokui took it and said, "Eighth aunt, I'll come." Do you need a palm lamp? β
"Hehe, I know I want to hold the lamp. Do you know what kind of lamp to use? The eighth aunt smiled, and the wrinkles of the thousands of ravines were full of kindness.
"In the past, you had to be very careful when entering the cellar. Whether or not this air is exchanged, and how much it is exchanged, it is necessary to pay attention to it. Palm lamps are also exquisite, but of course, flashlights are the best now. Dong Xiaokui replied. In fact, the Dong family also has a wine cellar for storing wine, there used to be some good wine, but later in the Cultural Revolution, it was completely destroyed, and the later wine cellar is the wine of recent years. Of course, during the time she spent with the archaeological team, she also had contact with ancient wine cellars.
"Aoi is very good at this." The eighth aunt took a flashlight and smiled.
Dong Xiaokui carried the basket and said, "Where's it?" It's just that I have contact and know something. β
"You kid, anything is fine. It's just too restrictive. Aunt Eight said as she took Dong Xiaokui to the side room. Once you enter the wing, lift the wooden lid and go down the stairs to the wine cellar. There is a dazzling array of wine inside, at first glance, it looks like traveling through time and space to ancient times, and the dazzling wine is packed in wine jars and sealed with fine sandbags.
Aunt Eight put the smallest wine jar on the shelf into the basket and said, "Today, Aunt Eight will invite you to taste this." β
"Thank you, Aunt Eight." Dong Xiaokui smiled sweetly, she couldn't wait to look at this jar, and she couldn't see any patterns and characters horizontally and vertically.
"You're welcome." The eighth aunt slowly climbed up the stairs, and Dong Xiaokui followed behind, cautiously, for fear that the eighth aunt would fall, after all, in fact, her age was older than her appearance.
The eighth aunt gasped slightly, and her steps were a little staggering. Finally climbed up and then covered the cellar. Yun Luoling finally finished capturing the picture, and was satisfied that he had already put the meal on the table.
Dong Xiaokui washed her hands and sat down at the table. The eighth aunt actually took out three rhino horn cups, and the texture seemed to be good, but the light was not very bright, and Dong Xiaokui felt that it seemed wrong to pick them up rashly and appreciate them. I didn't go to taste it, I just looked at it.
"Hehe, Aunt Eight. Four fruit wine, I like it. I knew you were using this wine to entertain Aoi. Yun Luoling sat down in his chair and poured three cups unceremoniously.
"You girl, don't be greedy. This fruit wine is also intoxicating. Don't forget that time, but Bai Ping came to carry you back. The eighth aunt was wrinkled, and put the cucumber mixed with coriander on the table, and the coriander was sprinkled with crispy peanuts, which were attractive in color.
"Ah, that's what I like." Yun Luoling took the chopsticks and picked up the vegetables, and had already taken a small sip of the cup. Then he turned around and said, "Xiaokui, taste it, this wine is not easy to take out." β
Dong Xiaokui smelled the sweet aroma of that fruit wine, the color was red, but the texture was clear. The color, fragrance and quality are all excellent. Dong Xiaokui, who has never liked to drink too much, really wants to have a drink.
"Originally, it was appropriate to drink millet wine with a rhino horn cup. There is no luminous cup here to hold this fruit wine, so I will deal with it randomly. The eighth aunt said that she was very particular. It is really worthy of being the big girl of a big family in Shuzhong.
"Aunt Ba, I haven't seen a luminous cup, I really want to see it. You have to know who has it. Gotta tell me. One of my subjects is 'The Lost Light and Shadow'. I always hear the 'Glow-in-the-Dark Glass'. Yun Luoling had already finished drinking a glass, and his face was flushed lightly.
"You kid, the cow has drunk. Slow down. Don't you know, back then, my young lady liked this kind of fruit wine, and she could taste it all afternoon. It is said that you can taste the taste of the fruit, and how much sunshine there is. Aunt Eight said that she also drank a cup.
It turned out that this was the Xu family's grandmother's favorite. Dong Xiaokui couldn't help but look at this wine.
"Why doesn't Aoi drink it?" Aunt Eight asked.
Dong Xiaokui smiled a little helplessly and said, "Aunt Eight, I came by car. No alcohol. β
"Ah, that's really not to drink. I'm such an old fool why I didn't think of this layer. The eighth aunt blamed herself.
"How can I blame you for this. Zhonglin: They usually come with the driver. It's because I didn't make it clear to Aunt Eight just now. Dong Xiaokui hurriedly said, very sorry.
"So what's there? You drink. I'll ask Yunkai to send you back first. That's it. Yun Luoling poured himself another glass.
Dong Xiaokui shook his head and said, "He doesn't like unfamiliar people to move his car." β
"Well, the second uncle is very weird, and only you can stand him." Yun Luoling leaned lazily on the chair, her cheeks were crimson, and the light and shadow of dusk shone obliquely from the green trees, which reminded Dong Xiaokui of the scene of Shi Xiangyun lying drunk on the flowerside in "Dream of Red Mansions".
"Xiao Luo, if you say that, you are not afraid that Xiao Kui will be angry." The eighth aunt served Dong Xiaokui a meal and said, "Don't drink, just eat." I'll fill you a small pot in a moment, and you can take it home and taste it. β
Dong Xiaokui's heart moved, and she felt warm, and Aunt Eight reminded her of her grandmother who loved her, and she also said in such a tone. She didn't hurry to say "thank you". The eighth aunt just laughed, and the three of them ate and drank. Before you know it, it's time to turn on the lights.
Yun Luoling was slightly drunk, and Dong Xiaokui helped to help him get into the car. Yunkai drove away. The eighth aunt was a little faltering, but she still sent it to the door of the courtyard, but a pair of thin hands pulled Dong Xiaokui and said: "Xiaokui, Zhonglin's child is too bitter, I feel bitter, you have to wait for him." He has a bad personality, you have to be considerate. β
Maybe it's the fruit wine that I drank a little bit, and Aunt Eight said more than before. Dong Xiaokui has been responding, and the eighth aunt has said it several times, but it is a little like her grandfather who likes to talk in recent years.
After listening to the teachings like this for a while, she hugged a small pot of fruit wine and then walked to the mouth of the alley. The sky has darkened, and there is an oppressive darkness in the alley. Dong Xiaokui is not very familiar with the terrain, and he is afraid that there will be moss on the road, and he will not be injured if he falls, but it is always a pity that this wine is spilled.
Just like that, he walked out cautiously, holding a bottle of fruit wine in his hand. As soon as I walked to the side of the car, I didn't open the door, and I saw a car in front of me, and it was not clear what the car was, the light was too bright, and there was no meaning to change the light.
"It's rude." Dong Xiaokui slandered in his heart. When I thought about it, I was worried that the car was coming, and how I would get out. Fortunately, the car did not drive directly and stopped in the open area ahead. The headlights were still shining.
At this moment, a man got out of the car and strode this way. Dong Xiaokui squinted because of the strong light of the car, but she was vigilant in her heart, afraid of meeting gangsters. The body is unconsciously defensive. When his eyes adjusted to the light, the man ran over quickly and suddenly arrived in front of Dong Xiaokui. The speed was too fast, so Dong Xiaokui didn't have time to react, feeling that this was like the kind of teleportation in martial arts.
She instinctively stepped back, but she didn't move a single step, but she was hugged by the man and held tightly in her arms. This hug, the familiar embrace, the familiar way, the familiar breath, turned out to be that he was back.
It seems like I haven't seen him in a long time. Dong Xiaokui's nose was sour, and tears burst into tears all of a sudden. The heart is steady.
"Stone, you're getting worse and worse. I didn't go home when it was dark. He hugged her tightly.
"I'll be back right away. Have you seen it when you got home? She replied, a little silly naΓ―ve. Yes, with him, you don't have to be so nervous, like walking on thin ice, like a frightened bird.
"Nope. I've been busy today. I heard that my dad saw you. And today, my dad has a meeting around here. I want to see you here. I'm afraid you'll be wronged. But it can't always be by your side. He said, holding her face and taking a closer look at the headlights in the distance.
Dong Xiaokui's eyes were filled with tears, her face was full of happy smiles, she shook her head and said, "It's okay, do you think I'm the kind of person who will be wronged?" β
"I know you're smart and know how to deal with it. But I just can't rest assured. He said, softly.
Dong Xiaokui's heart softened when she heard this, she held the wine jar in one hand, held him in her arms at once, hugged him tightly, and said, "Zhong Lin, Zhong Lin." You know what? Dad, he agrees with me. He blesses us. β
"Really?" Xu Zhonglin asked in disbelief.
"Yes. He asked me to have tea with him, said some words, and said that I was doing well, but I was a little more restrained. also asked me to learn more from Aunt Eight, saying that Aunt Eight is Grandma's maid and is very familiar with Grandma's living habits. Of course I understand what I mean. It's my dad blessing me. Zhonglin, I'm so happy. Dong Xiaokui said, excited and incoherent.
Xu Zhonglin listened silently, but was calmer than before, and after listening, he stood in place for a long time without saying a word. Maybe he was thinking about his father, but also about the communication between him and his father, or the gap between two proud men.
It wasn't until the car honked in the distance that he turned his senses, waved his hand, and motioned for the man to go first. Dong Xiaokui stood beside him with the small jar of wine, he turned around and took her hand and said, "Stone, let's go home." β......
