Chapter Forty-Six: Sending People Home
When I returned to Zhaozhuang's grandfather's house after eating at Furong's house, it was past nine o'clock, I was greedy for a few more cups (in fact, it was fine), Ling Zongzhen was afraid that I was too drunk, and he was not at ease (mainly worried that I would cross the river) I, and personally sent me back, I was not polite at all, there was a companion on the road, in fact, the two families were very close, but a few hundred meters away, which was like a door in the county.
Ling Zongzhen was a little drunk, walking crookedly and twisting in a straight line, from time to time deviated, Furong and her mother saw this, and wanted to dissuade Ling Zongzhen, and she would send me, Ling Zongzhen objected when she heard it, and suddenly came to his senses, the wine seemed to be half awake, and he insisted on sending me, insisting that he was fine, and he designated that he could send me home safely. I couldn't hold back my laughter, the old gentleman was quite sober and not drunk. Fu Rong secretly poked me and told me not to laugh, Fu Rong wanted to send me together, but Ling Zongzhen stopped her.
Don't say it, Fu Rong's mother looks young, and when she is with Fu Rong, no one doubts that she is a sister. If you go with me, I don't know what if I think it's a couple, if this is seen by the same villagers, then maybe some lace news will be born: Come and see, in the middle of the night, Furong and her mother are walking to the river with a handsome young man! The implication is that the grove is about to be drilled, and the grove by the river is the love corner and the romantic land of the village, no less than the cornfield, and there are many romantic stories circulating here.
When crossing the river, stepping on the stepping stones, it is impossible for the two of them to walk in parallel, Ling Zongzhen was afraid that I would not walk unsteadily, and grabbed my clothes with both hands behind his back, intending to help me cross the river, but in fact it was redundant and cumbersome, but I didn't stop it, people were happy like this, in fact, he needed to support him, if he left me, he would not be able to fall crooked in the river, I was dragged by him, adding an extra burden, I really shouldn't have promised him to send me at that time, so I must step on every stepping stone steadily, keep the absolute center of gravity stable, in case I fall into the river, It's not just me, it's just me. But as soon as I stepped onto the beach, my legs and feet went limp, and I fell down with him.
"Hahaha......" we were lying on the beach laughing.
"I'm glad I didn't fall into the water!" I sat up and looked at the rushing river.
"No," Ling Zongzhen also sat up and said, "It seems that God still favors the two of us." ”
"Uncle, come, smoke a cigarette." I immediately handed Ling Zongzhen one, and I wanted to smoke after drinking.
"Oh, no." Ling Zongzhen waved his hand, took out the cigarette pouch and pot, and said, "I'm still smoking this thing, let's work hard." ”
I lit a cigarette and smoked it, a gust of mountain wind blew, quite cool, I took Ling Zongzhen and said, "Uncle, you are like my father, you like to smoke dry tobacco, rarely smoke cigarettes, even if the cigarette is good, like Great China or something, in his eyes it is not as enjoyable as dry tobacco, and he also said that only those who can really smoke smoke dry tobacco." ”
"Hehe, empathize, empathize!" Ling Zongzhen took two puffs of cigarette pouch and pot, and said with a smile, "Really, it's not that a family doesn't enter the door, I and your father, our two families, we are originally a family, and chasing up the eight generations is a brother." ”
"It's true!" I took a puff of cigarette and said, "My father often said this, Zhao Zhuang and Ling's family surnamed Ling are a family, brothers who break bones and tendons." ”
"Hehe, yes, yes!" Ling Zongzhen shuddered and said with a smile, "If I hadn't seen you for the first time, I would have felt very close, and when I saw you and my family Furong together, I was happy in my heart, and I wouldn't hide it from you, and I often dreamed that the two of you were together, hehe." ”
"Hehe, really?" I asked with a smile.
"It's true!" Ling Zongzhen said loudly, "If you don't believe it, you ask Furong to go." ”
"Believe, absolutely believe!" I answered, and then screamed "ah", the cigarette butt burned my fingers, and I quickly threw it away, I didn't take a few puffs of the cigarette, and patronized and laughed with Ling Zongzhen.
Ling Zongzhen laughed when he saw this. The two of us immediately got up and hugged each other like brothers, crossed the river embankment and walked towards Zhaozhuang in the cold mountain wind, innocently cold, a little bit of early winter. I couldn't persuade him to get me home.
"Come on, come on, come in!" As soon as I walked into the courtyard, my grandparents came out of the hall together. The second elder has been waiting. Normally, at this point, I fell asleep.
"Grandparents!" I shouted and hurried forward.
"Uncle and aunt, you haven't slept so late!" Ling Zongzhen said.
"Don't you wait for your grandson to come back, why don't you come back, hehe." Grandpa said and pulled Ling Zongzhen into the house. Grandma asked him to stay, and when I heard it, I tried to persuade him.
Ling Zongzhen hesitated for a moment, but agreed, and said that he wanted to live with me, but I couldn't ask for it. I never thought I'd be able to sleep with him tonight, and I couldn't help but laugh to myself.
