12. Drinking
There is a difference between men and women, and it is naturally impossible for Qiao Yunchu to live with two big men.
But if she lives in one room by herself, then the remaining two people will have to share a room.
The two of them already have some resentment and dissatisfaction with each other, and if the two of them live in the same room, it is inevitable that some incidents will arise.
But if they move out alone and live in the kitchen, it will seem to favor one over the other.
Qiao Yunchu finally came up with a solution.
"There are only two rooms, and the three of us are not enough, so it's better to do this, you two live here, and I'll continue to rent a house at the homestay." Qiao Yunchu thinks that the method he thinks of can be said to be quite safe.
The location of the B&B is not very far, even if it is a walk, it only takes about 15 minutes.
And this business trip, he originally planned that all the tasks would be completed by himself. It can be quieter if you live alone.
"Nope." Shen Hengzhou was the first to jump out and object. "You stay and live by yourself, I am willing to suffer some grievances and live with him."
Shen Hengzhou had already made up his mind to stick to Qiao Yunchu's side and never create the slightest chance for Pei Mingxuan.
If Qiao Yunchu returns to live in the B&B, Pei Mingxuan will definitely find the right time to sneak back and leave him here alone, in this way, it will make things more complicated, it is better for everyone to stay together and be under his nose.
"Mingxuan, what do you think?" Qiao Yunchu turned his head and asked Pei Mingxuan, after all, two people live together, and they can't just ask the opinion of one party, the mood of both parties must be taken into account.
"I'm fine." Pei Mingxuan was also worried that the two of them would be together behind their backs.
After the three of them packed their luggage, it was officially checked in, and cleaning the deserted house was not an easy job, and the three of them were almost tired and paralyzed, and they didn't want to move at all, let alone mention. I wanted to have dinner, so I sat down and rested in one place.
A middle-aged man's voice sounded outside the door. "Xiao Chu, your aunt heard that you are back, please come to the house for dinner."
Qiao Yunchu heard that it was Uncle Li's voice and hurriedly went out to greet him.
"Uncle. What did my aunt cook? Qiao Yunchu's smile was like a flower, although they have no actual blood relationship, but as the saying goes, distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors.
"Your aunt made your favorite braised pork, and also specially learned a new dish, pulling shredded sweet potatoes, I see that your house is almost cleaned up, call your colleagues to go together, let's just have dinner."
Qiao Yunchu's eyes were a little fluttering: "Forget it, he ......"
"It's my pleasure to invite me to dinner."
As soon as Qiao Yunchu wanted to refuse, Shen Hengzhou walked out of the house, and quickly ran to Uncle Li's side, holding Uncle Li's hand, so enthusiastic.
Uncle Li is a simple farmer, and said with a smile: "What is honored, what is not honored, is a commonplace, it is a matter of skylight chopsticks." I also hope that you people in the city will not dislike the recipe for cooking. ”
"I'm going too." A voice broke the harmonious picture, and your uncle looked up when he heard the sound, only to find that another man had appeared in the courtyard.
"Xiao Chu, what is this?"
Qiao Yunchu could only grit his teeth and say, "This is another colleague of mine, and the three of us are on a business trip together. ”
"Oh, I see, let's go together."
Shen Hengzhou walked around to his uncle's side and introduced enthusiastically, Pei Mingxuan was not to be outdone, the two of them were left and right, but Qiao Yunchu was left behind.
Several people arrived at Uncle Li's house together, and as soon as they entered the courtyard, they smelled the smell of meat.
"Xiao Chu, it's been a long time."
The woman pulled off the apron on her body, pulled Qiao Yunchu's hand to look left and right, and she liked it very much.
My aunt was a warm and delicate middle-aged woman, and although she was in the village, her clean shoelaces and delicate curls showed that she was a very refined person.
"Daughter-in-law, these are Xiao Chu's two colleagues, this is Xiao Shen, and this is Xiao Pei."
"Hello aunt."
The two of them spoke in unison, and the Taoist priest had a tacit understanding at this time.
"Hey, they're all talents, come in and try the braised pork I made to suit your appetite?"
Several people sat down, and one person served a bowl of fragrant rice, Qiao Yunchu looked around and didn't see the figure of Uncle Li's daughter, so he asked, "What about Qianqian?" ”
"I went to school in the city, and although we also have a middle school in the village, I always felt that the educational resources in the city would be better. Last year, I was with your aunt, but I was still ruthlessly sent to the city. ”
"Qianqian, I will be very excited to see you come back, she liked you the most when she was a child." My aunt brought the last dish to the table and sat down.
Qiao Yunchu is now almost forgetting what Qianqian looks like, Qianqian and he often met him when he was still babbling, and then he was going to school, and his grandmother went to the city again, and the time to meet naturally became less, and he met a few times later, but it was only a hurry, Qianqian has always been a lively and cheerful little girl, and the relationship between the two of them is not bad.
"Xiao Shen, Xiao Pei, do you want to drink some wine?" At a glance, there is no other hobby on weekdays, and she loves to drink, even if no one accompanies her to drink, she also drinks a small glass, and today finally came to the house, and it was very lively, and his alcohol addiction also came up again.
Qiao Yunchu hurriedly stopped him: "Uncle, we are here mainly for work this time, if the two of them drink too much, they won't be able to get up tomorrow and delay things." ”
"That's right, it's important to get down to business."
"It's okay, as long as you grasp the amount and don't drink too much." Pei Mingxuan felt that this was an opportunity to perform, not only helped his uncle pour wine, but also filled his own wine glass.
"Mr. Shen, you want to have some." Pei Mingxuan's eyes were obviously provocative.
Shen Hengzhou hooked his lips and smiled: "Then let's be happy together." ”
Shen Hengzhou has been practicing drinking since he was a teenager, what kind of wine to drink on what occasion, how much to drink, and what kind of etiquette he has been taught, and he has experienced a lot of actual combat later.
His amount of alcohol is not comparable to that of a hairy boy like Pei Mingxuan, but since he took the initiative to provoke trouble, it is better to take this opportunity to let him look foreign.
"Are you sure you want to drink? Tomorrow we will start the field trip. Shen Hengzhou also wanted to persuade both sides again.
Shen Hengzhou and Pei Mingxuan couldn't listen to any persuasion as if they were iron-hearted.
Shen Hengzhou: "Have a drink." Anyway. ”
The two men began to toast
"Uncle, I toast you,"
"Uncle, I'll give you a toast too."
Two people take turns bombarding you with a cup and me with a cup.
Uncle Li, as an elder, was naturally embarrassed to refuse the toasts of the juniors, and the speed of drinking one cup after another became faster and faster, and the aunt next to him couldn't stand it, and couldn't help but remind him, "Oh, Lao Li, what are you doing drinking so fast." ”
"Happy today, drink more, it's okay." Uncle Li's cheeks were already red at this time, and he could only drink alone on weekdays, but today someone was willing to accompany her and talk well, so he was naturally willing to drink more, so he drank one cup after another despite the dissuasion of his aunt next to him.
After three rounds of drinking, he was the first to get drunk, and it was Uncle and Aunt Li who were lying on the table, with a look of hatred that iron is not steel.
"Oh, it's so old, it's so embarrassing to be so greedy for a cup, and drink like this in front of children."
"Aunt should help my uncle into the house first, let him lie down and sleep."
Uncle Li is also a burly and strong man, about 1.8 meters tall and weighs 1670 pounds, it is difficult to move him back to the room from the dining table with only two women.
"You two take a hand."
During the holiday between Shen Hengzhou and Pei Mingxuan, the uncle put the person back on the bed.
The aunt persuaded the two of them: "Xiao Shen, Xiao Pei, you two sit down and eat some food, you have been drinking, and you haven't eaten a mouthful of food, your stomach will not be able to stand it if you go on like this." ”
The two of them started to eat with a bowl of white rice in their hands, and their mouths were always looking at each other very hostile as they ate, as if they were about to fight in the next second.
At the same time, the speed of the chopsticks in the hands of the two people is getting faster and faster, like a competition between the big stomach king when eating on TV.
Qiao Yunchu really can't stand the two of them, one or two are all this kind of childlike personality, it's really embarrassing.
Shen Hengzhou took the lead in putting down his chopsticks, a bowl was clean, and there was not a grain of rice left, and he looked at Pei Mingxuan very proudly.
Pei Mingxuan wiped the corners of his mouth with his hand, a little depressed, and there was still an indelible fighting spirit in his eyes.
Qiao Yunchu watched the two of them finish eating and dragged the dishes and chopsticks in the hands of the two people, and went to brush the dishes angrily.
Pei Mingxuan lost just now, and now he wants to find the right time to grab the bowl in Qiao Yunchu's hand and perform well.
"I'll wash the dishes."
Qiao Yunchu didn't let go, he understood, what he was thinking clearly, but he was so drunk that he even walked a little swaying, holding such a big bowl, what if he fell again?
"You go sit down, don't make a mess, I'll brush it."
Pei Mingxuan was a little frustrated, and returned to the table, while his aunt and Shen Hengzhou were washing dishes by the kitchen.
My aunt whispered, "Xiao Chu, do your two male colleagues like you?" ”
Qiao Yunchu died of embarrassment.
"Don't be embarrassed, you're twenty-five or sixteen years old, it's normal to talk about boyfriends, tell your aunt which one of the two you like?"
"Auntie, we are just ordinary colleagues, nothing like that." Qiao Yunchu buried himself in washing dishes.
"It's just that they didn't match."
"Actually, these two lads are good. You should take a good look at it and think about it. ”
"My aunt knows that you are very good, but the daughter of the old Wang family in the east of the village is also very good, she was admitted to a graduate school and found a good job, but the marriage has not been settled for a long time. It's thirty-seven or eighteen in a flash. ”
At Qiao Yunchu's age, it is not uncommon to encounter marriage urging, but this is not a New Year's Day, so he was urged to marry, and he was more or less resistant in his heart.
"Aunt, I'm not in a hurry to get married, I still want to stabilize my career first." Qiao Yunchu stacked the washed dishes neatly.
"Xiao Chu, don't blame your aunt for nagging. It's really that the thoughts of the two boys are too obvious, and the aunt is also anxious for the two of them. ”
"I don't blame you, aunt."
Qiao Yunchu hated the death of two culprits who made her encounter the urging of marriage.
Qiao Yunchu finally finished brushing the plate and was about to go back, but he saw two people, I don't know when, they actually drank again.
And this time it was completely high, and the brain was unconscious, and only with the last mechanical movement, he poured the wine into his mouth.
