People from their hometowns began to arrive in Beijing on the 22nd, and the last group also arrived on the 24th.

Sure that no one would come again, Zhang Hongliang and Liu Xinyu finally breathed a long sigh of relief.

There are indeed a lot of people from my hometown, except for the two small courtyards in Nanjie Hutong that are full, and the first and second courtyards of Liu Xinyu's three-entry courtyard in Beihu Hutong are also inhabited.

Fortunately, it's not winter and summer vacations, otherwise people will only be afraid of more.

The Jiang family really only had one Jiang Jian'an, which made Liu Xinyu very pleased.

Those who went to live in Beihu Hutong were Zhang Lao Zhishu and his two eldest grandsons, Liu Zhishu and his two sons, as well as Liu Xinyu's maternal uncle's family.

Jiang Jian'an was taken to live with them at home by Chen Zhaodi.

Almost everyone who came to the capital brought Liu Xinyu a wedding gift, and Liu Xinyu was most surprised by the congratulatory gift brought by his uncle's family, in addition to two very festive quilts, as well as four twenty-pound wine jars.

Looking at the four wine jars, Liu Xinyu was really surprised.

The memory of Mohu has already been awakened in the depths of his mind, if the memory is correct, the wine in these four wine jars should be Liu Qingshan's daughter Hong, which was brewed by himself eighteen years ago.

It seems that in the third year after separating from his parents and younger brother, Liu Qingshan hunted a hundred catties of wild boar, and after selling it, he pulled a piece of flower cloth for Liu Xinyu to make a new set of clothes, and then bought fifty catties of glutinous rice and five catties of koji, and filled four jars of wine.

The fashionable and young Liu Xinyu was immersed in the joy of eating glutinous rice with new clothes to wear and fragrant aroma, and he didn't know or care how much wine Liu Qingshan had brewed.

In the memories that are dug up now, only Liu Qingshan put the brewed wine into four jars, and then where the wine went, she really has no memory at all, and now it seems that the wine has been kept for her, just waiting for her to take it out for a banquet when she gets married.

It's just how my uncle's family knew about these wines.

In the face of Liu Xinyu's doubts, his maternal uncle Zhang Changhe and the old branch secretary explained the cause and effect word by word.

There is no custom in Wuxian County to choose a number of wine when her daughter is full moon, bury it in mud or hide it in the cellar, but Liu Qingshan thought about learning the customs of Yongcheng when Zhang Caiyue gave birth to Liu Xinyu, and prepared a few jars of wine for Liu Xinyu to hide in the cellar.

It's just that at that time, it was difficult for the family to even have food and clothing, where was there wine for him to hide?

This became a pimple in Liu Qingshan's heart.

Later, Zhang Caiyue died, and took Liu Xinyu to separate from her parents and brothers, except for some food and a few clothes, the father and daughter can almost be said to be out of the house.

Liu Qingshan is a tough man, and he didn't even want the Zhang family to let him live for a few days, so he first built a small shed on the newly approved foundation to live temporarily, dug some river sand today, and went up the mountain tomorrow to cut down a tree, so the house was built little by little.

After almost half a year, the father and daughter finally had their own home and gradually lived their lives.

Speaking of this, Zhang Lao Branch Secretary raised his head and looked at Liu Xinyu, and said with a long sigh: "Don't blame your grandmother for being ruthless, they don't want your father to be lonely for a lifetime." ”

"Yes, I really want to force my brother-in-law with this. I also blame my sister for her bad life, so she left you early. My sister was only twenty-three years old when she left, and my brother-in-law was only twenty-five years old, so young, how long a lifetime, not to mention your grandmother, even my parents can't bear to watch him guard you like this for the rest of your life! But what about my brother-in-law! Zhang Changhe also sighed.

Liu Qingshan is capable, Zhang Changhe likes this brother-in-law very much, and his favorite thing to do is to follow Liu Qingshan up the mountain to hunt and go down to the river to fish, almost every time he will not be empty-handed.

It's just that the days that make him like it don't last long, after Zhang Caiyue's death, especially after Liu Qingshan separated from his parents, his parents no longer allowed him to follow Liu Qingshan back and forth.

However, Liu Qingshan, who had not come to the door for a long time that winter, came to his house with two pieces of meat, saying that he asked his old father to help make wine.

The wine was brewed, but he was not willing to drink it, all of it was sealed into the wine jar, hidden in the newly dug small cellar, and stated that he would wait until Liu Xinyu got married to take it out and invite everyone to drink, everyone knew that Liu Qingshan was brewed for Liu Xinyu's daughter red!

This collection is a full eighteen years.

"Hiding in the cellar? It's impossible, I've cleaned the cellar at home once, and I've never seen these wine jars! Liu Xinyu thought that these jars of wine were buried under the tree at home, but he didn't expect to hide them in the cellar, so he was very surprised.

As Liu Xinyu said, the cellar at home hides vegetables in winter and melons in summer, she has entered the cellar more than once, and she really never found that there was wine in the cellar, so where did Liu Qingshan hide the wine in the cellar, and how did he do it?

Zhang Changhe smiled lightly: "It's not the cellar at your house, it's a small cellar dug specifically for storing wine." ”

Liu Xinyu was even more surprised, there was a small cellar at home that she didn't know!

Old Branch Secretary Zhang and Branch Secretary Liu both laughed.

After a while, Liu Zhishu sighed: "Brother Qingshan is a very thoughtful and successful person, but it's a pity that ......"

Everyone knows what Liu Zhishu is sorry for, it is nothing more than lamenting that Liu Qingshan's good people do not live long, and why Liu Qingshan died is a well-known thing.

This topic is not easy to pick up, Liu Xinyu pursed her lips, picked up the teacup and took a sip.

"Uncle, you have worked hard, and you actually helped me bring me all the wine from my hometown." Liu Xinyu's gaze swept over the wine jar and thanked Zhang Changhe.

Zhang Changhe shook his head: "This is not my credit alone, if it weren't for the reminder of the old branch secretary, we almost didn't think about it." ”

Zhang Lao Zhishu said: "This is not all, there is still more than half of that small cellar!" ”

Well? Didn't you say that only four jars of wine were brewed, how could there be more than half?

"Your father, the wine that has been brewed for you for three years in a row is all sealed in the jar and hidden for you, if your grandfather is gone, I am afraid that you will have to continue brewing until the small cellar is full!" Zhang Changhe explained.

I see!

"Originally, I was going to bring a few more jars, considering that people in the city may not be accustomed to drinking the wine made by our countrymen, and besides, you will have to hold a wedding banquet in your hometown during the New Year, so I only brought the four jars of wine with the longest year." Finally, the old branch secretary pointed to the red note pasted on the wine jar.

The red note had faded, but it was still legible with a brush: November 1968, the third winter solstice.

At first glance, it is Liu Qingshan's handwriting, these four jars of wine are the daughter red that has been treasured for 18 years!

What a deep fatherly love this is!

Compared with Liu Qingshan's love for Liu Xinyu, Xin Hao's love for Xin Yu seems to be a little unmentionable!

But it can't be compared like this, different people have different living environments, and the way of expression must be different.
