At the dinner table, several people pushed cups and changed lamps, and the atmosphere was quite warm. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
I was dragged by Tan Qingming to dinner. I don't drink fire wine, Tan Aixiang specially made a bowl of beard wine for me. I couldn't, so I had to drink slowly.
Beard wine is a pure liquor after the slag of sweet wine is filtered, without adding anything, mellow and sweet, warm throat delicious. Sweet sake is made by steaming glutinous rice and then adding sweet wine cake medicine (cake medicine: local dialect, that is, koji) and fermenting it by keeping it warm. We have brewed in every household during the Chinese New Year here, the guests enter the door in the first month, first boil a pot of boiling water, pour in a bowl of sweet sake lees, and then knock the eggs into the bowl and stir them evenly, pour them in, add a little brown sugar or brown sugar cubes, put them in the bowl is the sweet wine with complete color and flavor, high nutritional value and eggs, eat sweet and fragrant aftertaste, it is an indispensable thing to entertain guests in the first month.
In addition to the Chinese New Year, there are also families with "Yuepozi" (dialect, the mother who has given birth to a child is called Yuepozi), and ordinary people will not make sweet wine on weekdays.
In fact, beard wine is my favorite, I like to drink it since I was a child, every time my mother makes sweet wine, I will open the lid of the altar from time to time and scoop it out with a small cup to drink, I remember being drunk several times when I was a child.
At the round table sat Li Yutian and Tan Aixiang, Tan Qingming's fat man bald head and Li Zhuqing and I sat around, everyone drank and ate, chatting from all over the world, and the atmosphere was harmonious.
There are fish and meat on the table, which is quite rich, but Li Zhuqing didn't eat a few bites and dropped the bowl and went to the hall, Tan Qingming accompanied Li Yutian to drink, Li Yutian was very happy, and said that the family has not been so lively for a long time. Tan Aixiang put vegetables in my bowl from time to time, smiling on her face, but I found that she turned her back twice and secretly wiped away the tears that overflowed the corners of her eyes.
There are sick children at home, and parents are worried. My heart was a little sour, so I drank dry beard wine, picked up a bowl of rice, and went to the hall.
The radio in the hall is playing an episode of "knocking on a disc in hand" from the movie "Honghu Red Guards":
Knock on the dish with your hand,
It's hard to sing a little song,
The voice can't sing the suffering of the world,
Mr. Boss listened and laughed.
The moon bends to shine on the tall buildings,
High-rise buildings were built by the poor,
The north wind rises in the cold winter wax moon,
The rich laugh and the poor grieve.
The melancholy tune flowed in the small hall, and Li Zhuqing looked a little irritable, restless and walking. Seeing me sit down on the couch, he walked to the table and turned off the radio, and then sat down on the couch as well.
I smiled at him, but he didn't smile, stared at me and said, "What are you doing at my house?"
I also stared at him, smiled and said, "I don't want to do anything, I just want to see what the hell is going on with you."
"Just you? Hmph, how old are you? What do you know? It's too tender, isn't it? He said dismissively.
I was silent on the surface, secretly concentrating, feeling the flow of breath in the room, fluttering and unpredictable. I said slowly, "I'm too tender, but you may not be able to hide it." I still have a trace of good thoughts about you, and I will not kill them all, let you go, leave quickly, and never come again, otherwise you will blame me for being ruthless, and then you will be destroyed and will never be reborn. ”
Li Zhuqing didn't answer me, shook his head and broke free from my gaze, and fell asleep on the sofa.
I glanced at the alarm clock on the counter that was turning the second hand, and it was only eight o'clock, and it was still early.
Several people in the dining room finally finished drinking their wine and entered the hall together.
Li Yutian is in his fifties, a little bald, and his scalp is a little red because of drinking. He patted Li Zhuqing on the sofa and said, "Zhuqing, you sit up, you occupy the entire sofa alone, how can others sit?" Can you go to bed if you want to sleep? ”
Li Zhuqing reluctantly stood up, with a gloomy face, brushing his long hair from time to time, and walking around the room with a manic look. Tan Qingming poured a cup of tea for everyone, Tan Aixiang brought a plate of oranges over and put it on the table, looked at her son melancholy, and said softly: "Zhuqing, you sit down and eat an orange, don't walk around."
Li Zhuqing hooked his head and didn't answer his mother, suddenly raised his head and pointed at Tan Qingming's fat man and bald head and said: "You, you, and you, let's go, I'm not a ghost now, I don't want to see a few of you, so don't come to my house in the future."
Then he turned to me again and shouted viciously: "Especially you, quickly disappear in front of my eyes, if you don't learn well at a young age, you will be a harmful person in the future, get out of here!"
Tan Aixiang's tears flowed to her cheeks all of a sudden, and she whispered to us in a panic: "Today he seems to have been stimulated by something, and he has lost his temper for a day, which is rarely like this in the past." You all go out for a while, and I will coax him, and you will come in when he is quiet. ”
I looked at the restless Li Zhuqing and said, "He's coming at me, uncles and aunts, you all go out, don't talk, I have a way to make him quiet."
Everyone in the room looked at me suspiciously, Tan Qingming reacted quickly, and said in a low voice: "Listen to Xianghong, let's all go out." After speaking, he took the lead in pulling the fat man and the bald head out of the door, Li Yutian and Tan Aixiang were very uneasy and turned back into the room step by step, standing at the door and looking.
I took a deep breath, made a trick, concentrated my energy, released my consciousness, and poured my mind, approached Li Zhuqing, who was panting with his waist crossed, stared at him and said slowly: "If you are tired, go to sleep, and when you fall asleep, you don't think about anything."
Li Zhuqing gradually calmed down, looked at my empty eyes, slowly turned around and walked to the sofa, I said softly: "Which is the sofa, you can't sleep, go to bed and sleep."
Li Zhuqing turned around and walked in, stretched out his hand to push the door that was opened, and entered the house gently, without turning on the light, lying on the bed, I followed up, pulled the quilt for him, and in less than a minute, there was a regular snoring sound in the room.
I exited the room and closed the door. Li Yutian and his wife were the first to enter the hall with surprised faces, and Tan Aixiang whispered with some disbelief, "Are you really asleep?"
I nodded, and Li Yutian reproached her: "Don't you talk nonsense, you can snore if you don't fall asleep?"
Tan Qingming and the three of them poured in, with surprise and surprise on their faces, but they were cautious and light-footed, as if they were afraid of waking people up. The fat man gave me a thumbs up and said, "Awesome! You're amazing!"
I smiled and said, "Don't be so careful, he sleeps very deeply, I don't call him, you just make a fuss, he won't wake up."
At this time, Tan Aixiang, who was sitting on the side, wiped away her tears again, and Li Yutian scolded unhappily: "Which song are you singing?" What are you crying about? ”
Tan Aixiang choked up and said: "I haven't heard my son snore like this regularly for two or three years, now I can finally be saved, can I be unhappy?"
Tan Qingming said happily: "That's right, Xianghong is still very capable, and my cousin's illness will be cured soon, so I should be happy."
I looked at him and said, "It's too early to say healed." I haven't found the cause yet, so I can't do anything about it. Well, then, you are all here, tell me about the situation before he became ill, what happened at that time that stimulated him, caused him to block his mind, and caused his illness. ”
No one answered, and the room fell silent for a moment.
