Chapter 11: Drunk
The eldest brother can also take care of the family, and a few years ago, he also married a daughter-in-law, and was upgraded to become a father, with a white and tender son.
At the dinner table, Grandpa You Li took out the plum wine, which is the wine that the family will brew every year, and every May and June, Grandma You Li will go to the tree planted by her family to pick green plums, and then give the green plums to the pedicle, wash and dry; Then put the dried green plum and rock sugar in a container, pour in the spirits to cover the green plum, and finally store it in a cool place. Fang Lan also did it with her when she was a child, and now she sees a familiar container; Familiar wine, full of memories.
At first glance, Fang Lan didn't expect her father's hair to be so white, and the wrinkles at the corners of her mother's eyes were also superimposed, and her heart was slightly sour, so she silently accompanied her father to drink a few more glasses. Lan Jiali naturally knew what Fang Lan was thinking, so she accompanied her.
You Li curiously watched the adults clink glasses, she also wanted to taste it, especially the sweetness of the wine fragrance emanating from her grandfather's cup, which attracted You Li's yearning, and took the initiative to ask: "Mom, I also want to taste that brown drink." ”
Before Fang Lan could answer, her grandfather took the lead and said, "Lili, come to grandpa, grandpa will give you a drink." ”
Fang Lan looked at it worriedly and said, "Don't give it to pears, the child is still young." ”
"It's okay, just use chopsticks to dip some feeding, and besides, I'm happy today, and this plum wine is not intoxicating." Grandpa You Li said excitedly, Fang Lan felt that she shouldn't be disappointed today, so she went with her.
You Li obediently walked to her grandfather and sat down, she couldn't wait to open her mouth and wait for the drop of wine on the chopsticks to enter her stomach, she stared at the crystal water drop on the brown chopsticks, her eyes were motionless, for fear that others would rob her, and finally this coveted drop of crystal water entered her mouth.
You Li found that it was really similar to what she thought, sweet and sour, she still wanted to drink, but her grandfather refused, she knew that if the adults were here, You Li would not be able to drink this wine, so she made a small calculation in her heart. Shen Yanzhi watched You Li's eyes keep rolling on the side, and he knew that this little fox was not well-intentioned, and he must be playing with some idea.
Because the house is not big, there are only two rooms left, and Shen Yanzhi is eleven years old now, and he definitely can't sleep in the same bed with Lan Jiali, so he asked Fang Lan to ask Lan Jiali for a small room.
You Li's house is relatively large, so he asked Shen Yanzhi to sleep on the floor inside, but fortunately, the weather is hot now, and the floor will not catch a cold, but it is a little hard. Shen Yanzhi felt that he was nothing, so he accepted it.
At night, when everyone had already entered the dream, Yuli opened his eyes in bed, and his eyes were round. She saw that Shen Yanzhi, who was lying next to her bed, was already asleep, so she carefully got out of bed, bypassed his body, and quietly opened the door and went out.
You Li came to the kitchen with a familiar car, opened the cupboard, and what caught her eye was a familiar can of plum wine, You Li gently took it down, opened the jar and a fragrance came to her face, You Li couldn't wait to take a big sip.
You Li sent it to his mouth one by one, and soon, a small can of plum wine bottomed out. You Li shook the jar and muttered in her heart: Why is it gone, and I haven't drunk it yet.
"What are you doing?" Shen Yanzhi turned over and felt that something was wrong, and when he opened his eyes, he found that You Li was not in the house, and when he came out, he heard movement in the kitchen and exuded a burst of wine, Shen Yanzhi felt that this smell was so familiar, until he saw the thing You Li was holding in his hand, he remembered that it was the plum wine he drank at the dinner table tonight.
Shen Yanzhi, who suddenly made a sound, startled You Li, his body staggered and stretched out his index finger against Shen Yanzhi's lips, and said drunkly: "Shh, be quiet, it's not good to wake up your mother later, do you want to taste this taste?" It's delicious. ”
"Brother Yanyan, how do I feel that you have three heads? Oops, don't shake, shaking makes me dizzy. As he spoke, You Li stretched out his claws and left an imperceptible mark on Shen Yanzhi's neck.
Shen Yanyi, who was slightly in pain, knew that this guy was drunk nine times out of ten by looking at You Li's state. took the initiative to take away the wine jar she was holding, and cautiously helped You Li out of the kitchen, along the way, You Li was dishonest to touch and see, Shen Yanzhi had a headache and moved out of the killer feature, "Do you want to wake up your godmother?" If you don't want to, just follow me quietly, or my godmother will come out and spank you, and I don't care. ”
As soon as she heard this, You Li immediately became honest, and when Shen Yanzhi covered You Li with a quilt and breathed a sigh of relief, You Li began to be dishonest again, she kicked the quilt away first, and said to Shen Yanzhi: "Brother Yanyan, I want to ride a horse." ”
Shen Yanzhi was embarrassed, where did he find a horse to come over, even if there was one, would You Li be able to ride it in his current situation.
Coaxed patiently: "Lili, be good, I'll take you to find the horse tomorrow, let's sleep now, okay." ”
"It's not good, Brother Yanyan, you lie down, I'll sit on you, won't there be a horse in this way." Yuri's head shook like a rattle.
In order to let You Li fall asleep earlier, Shen Yanzhi had to do what You Li said. You Li rode on Shen Yanzhi's back, kicked out excitedly with both feet, and kept shouting 'drive, drive, drive'.
"Brother Yanyan, you are running faster, I feel that I am a prairie in front of me now, and I must be the fastest runner. In order to reward Brother Yanyan for working so hard, I'll sing you a song. Before Shen Yanzhi could refuse, You Li roared in his incomplete voice.
Shen Yanzhi felt that he was really great at this moment, and he didn't know that his endurance was so good if he didn't inspire him, and why others sang so smartly and lovely, You Li sang and simply wanted his own life. Finally, just as Shen Yanzhi was carrying You Li around the house to turn to the sixth circle, You Li fell asleep.
Shen Yanzhi saw that there was no movement on his back, so he breathed a long sigh of relief, and if he didn't sleep, he might die here.
The next day, when You Li woke up, she felt that her head was being eaten by countless ants, and she only seemed to remember that she went to the kitchen to drink secretly, and was discovered by Shen Yanzhi, and she didn't remember it later.
She swept around the room and didn't see Shen Yanzhi's figure, when the door of the room was pushed open with a 'squeak', and she saw Shen Yanzhi coming in with a bowl of things in his hand, "Sober?" Drink this bowl of soup to relieve the discomfort, and also, this soup was cooked by my godmother, she already knows what happened last night, you will go out later and admit your mistakes with a better attitude. ”
You Li glanced at Shen Yanzhi with his eyes while drinking the soup, feeling that there seemed to be no change in him, and he should be obedient last night. Shen Yanzhi looked at You Li with a weak appearance of doing something wrong, and his heart softened: "Later, if your godmother does it, you can run quickly, and I will block you for the rest." Originally, after last night, he had already made up his mind not to help her this time, and it was time for her to learn a lesson, but as soon as he saw You Li's aggrieved appearance, he couldn't help it.
"You're still the best, Brother Yanyan." Yuri said tremblingly.
When You Li cleaned up and walked out of the room, he held Shen Yanzhi's arm and begged, "Brother Yanyan, if my mother does it later, you must help me." ”
Shen Yanzhi didn't speak, just led You Li out of the house quickly, the living room was full of warmth, grandma picked vegetables, Fang Lan and Lan Jiali were busy in the kitchen, even if they came out of the room, no one noticed. Could it be that this is the calm before the storm? Yu Li muttered mentally.
Soon Fang Lan put lunch on the table and beckoned everyone to take a seat: "The meal is ready, come on, I made fish and sweet and sour chops today." ”
In an instant, Yuri, who got up late because of drunkenness, was attracted by the aroma of the food on the table.
Fang Lan brought a bowl to everyone, but ignored You Li, who was sitting in the middle, and she said aggrievedly: "Mom, why don't I have a bowl?" ”
"I thought you were quite full last night, and you didn't need to eat today, so I didn't do yours." Fang Lan explained angrily.
You Li looked at Lan Jiali and then at her grandmother, everyone was avoiding her eyes, she understood, it must have been Fang Lan who had given them a preventive shot in advance, and she just didn't let herself eat today.
"Hey!" You Li sighed silently and walked out of the kitchen, what happened last night was indeed wrong, and it was not wrong for her mother to punish herself, but she wronged her stomach.
Just as You Li sighed while touching her stomach, a pair of white hands appeared in front of her eyes. Shen Yanzhi was holding a bowl of white rice, which contained You Li's favorite sweet and sour short ribs and a few pieces of fish, which looked like they had been picked by Shen Yanzhi.
"Eat, don't be hungry, my godmother just wants to scare and scare you, next time don't drink secretly, I really want to drink, you call me, I'll accompany you." Shen Yanzhi said.
"Brother Yanyan is the best for me, starve me to death, I will definitely stop secretly drinking next time." Yuri said reassuringly.
In fact, Fang Lan was hungry for You Li, that is to say, because she knew that Shen Yanzhi would definitely not be able to help but secretly deliver food to You Li, so she watched Shen Yanzhi walk out of the kitchen with a big bowl of food just now and did not say a word. She just wanted to give You Li a long memory, fortunately, this wine was secretly drunk at home, if it was outside, how dangerous it would be to be a girl.
After eating, You Li took the initiative to go to the kitchen to help Fang Lan wash the dishes, hugged Fang Lan's arm and said coquettishly: "My good mother, I was wrong, I won't dare next time, you can forgive your baby daughter this time, okay." ”
"Okay, okay, don't pretend to help me wash the dishes here, go out and play, but remember, don't make an example." Fang Lan was tortured and hurriedly sent You Li away.
Lan Jiali watched from the side and said with emotion: "In the blink of an eye, the children are so old, they will secretly drink, all these years have passed so fast!" ”
"Yes, the children are older, which means that we are also old, I hope that Lili and Yanyan can continue to get better." Fang Lan looked at the two children outside the door and said.
You Li's grandmother planted a big watermelon in the field, and now she eats it just right, and in the afternoon, she takes her two children to pick watermelons. Yuri looked out and was amazed by what he saw. In the land, large green watermelons are full of knots, like large green glass balls, and the vines of watermelons are intertwined with each other.
"This year's melons are growing so well, I'll open one for you two to taste now." As she spoke, Grandma Yuli stepped into the watermelon field and began to search.
