Chapter 138
In the banquet hall of the restaurant, Su Xiaolou divided the gold dug up from the treasure to everyone equally. Xiucai and the other friends laughed happily because this year they could finally have a prosperous New Year. However, Su Xiaolou's expression didn't show much joy, and he wasn't too interested in drinking.
"Boss, what's wrong with you? Looking unhappy? Xiucai put his arm on Su Xiaolou's shoulder and asked.
Su Xiaolou took a sip of wine and replied tactfully: "Laifu accompanied Yue Qingyan and waited for them to return to their hometown for the New Year, and they may not return until after the Lantern Festival." I'm the only one celebrating the New Year this year. "
Xiucai smiled and said, "Boss, don't treat us as outsiders. We'll be with you for the New Year, won't we? "
Su Xiaolou barely squeezed out a smile and muttered to himself: "Drink, drink." "
Xiucai continued to tell the story of what happened in Yunnan, and Xiucai and the others listened with envy and longed to be able to go on a business trip together.
When Su Xiaolou returned home after drinking, he saw that the inner courtyard was empty, except for the two aunts who lived in the outer courtyard.
"Damn, even the dogs were taken away." Su Xiaolou complained that he carried the lantern to the women's attic in the east wing, wanting to find some Yunnan saffron to sell to make up for some losses. He entered Yue Ziyi's room and searched under the floor, but found no wooden box for the saffron. Then, he went to the room of Qiqige and the others, but unfortunately he did not find any trace of Yunnan saffron. It seems that they all took a box of Yunnan saffron with them.
"Bastards, did they expect me to steal?" Su Xiaolou returned to his room disappointed, his heart full of feelings of emptiness and loneliness. Then he said hello to the two aunts who lived in the outer courtyard, got on his horse and left the house.
At night, the Fengyue Tower is brilliantly lit.
"Brother Li?" The front desk greeted Ke Rao Liu in surprise and said, "Why are you here?" "
"Can't I come?"
"You rarely show up!"
This title of "rarely appearing" made Su Xiaolou feel emotional. Once, he actually became a rare guest of Fengyue Tower.
"Do you need company?"
"I'm looking for Sanniang."
"……"
"Brother Li, are you looking for Sanniang? She's not here tonight. The front desk replied politely.
Su Xiaolou nodded slightly disappointed, he didn't expect Sanniang to be in Fengyue Tower tonight. However, he was not discouraged, after all, he didn't come to Fengyue Tower to find Sanniang.
"Then please give me a quiet private room, I need to be alone for a while." Su Xiaolou said, looking a little tired.
The front desk happily arranged the private room, and Su Xiaolou found it alone. Through the window, he looked at the twinkling stars in the night sky, and his thoughts wandered.
Memories came to his mind, that year that should have been a happy reunion, but he was the only one left. He lamented his unwarranted pursuit, and his greed had caused him to lose many precious things.
However, Su Xiaolou was also a little relieved in his heart. He realized that life is not all about gold and silver wealth to bring happiness. Family affection and sincere care between friends are the most touching and important parts of life.
Su Xiaolou understands that he already has a group of friends worth cherishing, who not only share the hard work of the restaurant for him, but also always care about his joys, sorrows, and sorrows. In his lowest moments, they never left him.
His thoughts gradually calmed down, and Su Xiaolou decided to let go of the troubles in his heart and face the future with a peaceful heart. He believes that even if this winter night is cold, tomorrow will still be a new beginning.
Take the initiative to find happiness instead of blindly chasing the satisfaction of money. Su Xiaolou decided to change himself and redefine the value of life.
The next day, Su Xiaolou set off from Fengyue Tower early in the morning, and he planned to find Qian and Yue Qingyan to spend this special New Year with them. He wanted to express his thoughts and gratitude to them.
Back at home, Su Xiaolou unexpectedly found that the two aunts had returned. Seeing him appear, they immediately showed happy expressions. Su Xiaolou asked distressedly, "Aunts, did you rush back overnight?" "
The aunts smiled and said, "Brother Li, we know that you are alone at home for the New Year, and I feel sorry for you." We're back with you. "
Su Xiaolou was moved to tears, he hugged the aunts affectionately, and said gratefully: "Thank you, thank you very much." "
This year, although he is not rich, Su Xiaolou feels that he is the happiest person in the world. He experienced the warmth of family and the sincerity of friendship, and he finally understood that happiness does not depend on more than the amount of wealth.
Since then, Su Xiaolou has put important things in his heart, he cherishes his relatives and friends around him even more, and he is willing to use warmth and love to manage this precious emotion.
This story is no longer just a treasure hunt, but an inner quest and a transformation in life. Su Xiaolou understands that happiness does not lie in finding external wealth, but in inner satisfaction and companionship with loved ones.
……
One calm night, Su Xiaolou and Sanniang made an appointment to spend a happy time together in the Qinglou. Su Xiaolou had a good amount of alcohol, and he soon got drunk.
"You've drunk too much, I'll have someone send you back." Sanniang suggested with concern.
"I don't want to go back." Su Xiaolou stood up and staggered down on Sanniang's bed.
Sanniang shouted ashamedly and angrily, "You can't sleep here." "
"I'm sleepy." Su Xiaolou muttered, "Don't make noise with me." "
Sanniang stepped forward and grabbed Su Xiaolou's shoulder: "You come down for me." ”
"No, no."
Su Xiaolou hugged the pillar at the head of the bed tightly, and Sanniang pulled his leg with great effort, but he still didn't move.
Sanniang let go of her hand, and Su Xiaolou rolled into the bed, rolling up the futon, looking indifferent.
Sanniang gasped and scolded angrily, "You can't sleep in my bed." "
"I'm going to sleep here." Su Xiaolou took out a bag of gold leaves: "It's okay, I'll give you the overnight fee." "
Sanniang laughed happily, reached out and took the money bag, opened it and saw that it was full of silver, about a few hundred taels. It seems that Su Xiaolou was really drunk and was able to spit out so much silver. Out of the temptation of this money, she decided to let Su Xiaolou stay for the night, and it was up to him......
The entire Qinglou gradually quieted down.
In the early morning, an angry curse came from the firewood room in the backyard of Fengyue Tower.
"Wang An!"
Su Xiaolou jumped out of the firewood room in a rage, rushed to Sanniang's door, and knocked on the door hard: "You bastard, open the door quickly." "
Sanniang was woken up by the sound, walked to the door in a daze, opened the door, and looked at Su Xiaolou in surprise.
"What the hell are you trying to do?" Sanniang asked with some annoyance.
Su Xiaolou's voice was filled with guilt and anxiety: "Sanniang, I went too far last night, I'm really sorry." I was drunk and didn't know what I had done. Please forgive me. "
Sanniang looked at her sincere eyes, and the anger in her heart slowly dissipated. She understood that Su Xiaolou was not a bad person, he was just confused for a while. So, she let go of the resentment in her heart and smiled: "Since you have recognized your mistake, I will forgive you." Hopefully, you will remember your actions and not repeat them. "
Su Xiaolou nodded happily, saying that he would keep Sanniang's lesson in mind. This time the misunderstanding was solved.
From that day on, Su Xiaolou began to respect and care for Sanniang more. He no longer drinks easily, and he no longer treats Sanniang rudely. The relationship between them gradually became more harmonious and a sincere friendship was established.
Su Xiaolou realized that being kind to others and respecting other people's feelings can build a truly lasting relationship. He understands that in addition to exciting adventures and explorations, it is equally important to communicate with people and understand each other.
