Chapter 20: Wine Enters Sorrow
Xiaobao, auntie can guarantee that when you grow up and know this, you will definitely want to hunt down your brother Xuan.
Sanniang held her forehead, looked at the two little guys in a funny way and said: "The buns are almost ready, Xuanxuan, take your brother to wash his hands. My mother has scooped hot water into the wooden basin. It's still warm right now. Go quickly."
.”
"I understand, Mom, Xiaobao, wash your hands and go eat steamed buns!" The two little guys got off the kang and washed their hands hand in hand.
Sanniang smiled and followed.
After the steamed buns were steamed, Xiaobao and Xuanxuan each ate one and a half, and Sanniang packed the rest in a dustpan. As soon as they were packed, the light in the kitchen suddenly dimmed, and a tall figure appeared at the door. Sanniang was frightened.
One jump.
The next moment, I was hugged into a familiar embrace.
His chest is always warm and reassuring.
"Are you hungry?" Sanniang let him hold her, her hands wrapped around his waist. Wei Ci hugged him for a moment, and then said in a low voice: "I'm hungry. I just came back in Mao. I missed you. I'll finish ordering the troops."
I came home quickly, I’m so hungry that I have no energy left.”
"You're stupid! You won't come back after eating something in the camp..." Before she could finish her words, he held her arms much tighter, interrupted her, and whispered in her ear: "I want to
is you."
This battle was a bit dangerous. Yu Shan did not obey the command and almost caused the entire team to fall into the trap of the Qiang people.
Almost, he would never come back.
Sanniang smiled and nuzzled into his arms and said: "I miss you too, aren't you hungry? I steamed the buns and they are still hot. I'll get them for you." Sanniang pushed, but didn't push away.
Just as he was about to look up at her, two warm lips fell down. Wei Ci kissed her hard, as if he wanted to devour her. Sanniang struggled for a while and then let him go.
As a husband, she could no longer be reserved after leaving Peach Blossom Town.
In the room, two little guys snickered and stretched their little heads back. Xiaobao asked curiously: "Brother, why did uncle bite aunt's mouth?"
Xuanxuan said like a little adult: "Xiaobao is still young, you will know when you grow up."
Xuanxuan actually didn't know that this was what his own mother told him when he saw adults biting their mouths.
It's so profound, Xiaobao can't understand it.
Wei Ci didn't get much sleep in the past half month. After eating a few steamed buns, he lay down next to the two little guys and fell asleep. Xuanxuan touched the green beard scum that came out of his chin.
After a sip, he wisely took Xiaobao to play in the next room.
Xuanxuan is very obedient and knows that her father is tired and cannot disturb him to rest.
There was also a small kang in the next room. After Sanniang warmed it up for them, she spread a quilt for them to play on, while she sat next to it and sewed the cotton-padded jacket that Xiaobao Niang had taught her to make yesterday.
I heard that the winter in the north is very cold and the snow can be heavy!
In the evening, Xiaobao's man also came back. It was also the first time that Sanniang saw his man. He looked honest and honest, maybe because of Wei Ci. When he came to pick up Xiaobao, he looked at Sanniang's face.
With respect in her eyes, Mrs. Fang Liu also brought her a bowl of steamed pork belly, saying that it was distributed in the camp.
Sanniang took the meat and thanked them. They exchanged polite greetings and then went home. She was a little surprised that her husband, a pioneer major general, didn't get anything. After taking the things into the kitchen and putting them away, she went into the house and took a look.
Xuan Xuan from next door had ran over at some point and was nestling in Wei Ci's arms. The father and son were sleeping soundly.
The picture is so warm that people can't bear to wake them up.
Sanniang closed the door quietly, lit the oil lamp and entered the kitchen.
Deep in her memory, this was the life she had always wanted, with a husband, children, and a warm little home.
Wei Ci was woken up by the smell of food. As soon as he got up, the pregnant little guy also woke up. His little face was red from sleep, and he opened his eyes hazy. Wei Ci rubbed his little one.
Holding their heads together, they got off the kang and walked outside.
On the square table outside, Sanniang had already fried several dishes and brought them in. Seeing that they both woke up together, she said with a smile: "You didn't wake up earlier. As soon as the food was ready, you two woke up together."
"I could have slept a little longer, but the food cooked by my wife smells so good that my husband is very helpless!" After saying this, he shook his head in distress.
"Poor talker." Sanniang gave him a charming look, separated the chopsticks and put them away.
"Xuanxuan, help your mother move the stool." The little guy saw it and struggled to get down to help. Wei Ci had to turn around and help him put on his shoes. After putting on his shoes, the little guy immediately went to help Sanniang pull the stool.
.
It’s quite an experience for my daughter-in-law and son to have a hot kang.
Wei Ci stared at his wife's every move and felt that her every smile was so beautiful. His wife was waiting for him to return, with his children around his knees, having simple meals, warm and happy. This was a scene that he had never dared to think about, and he didn't expect it to happen.
One day came true in this poor little village.
The oil lamp on the table was burning brightly, reflecting the back figures of the family of three, creating a warm and harmonious atmosphere.
"Why are you still standing there? It's cold. The food will get cold quickly. Come over and eat quickly."
"Okay, my wife." Wei Ci walked over with a smile in his eyes.
Four dishes and one soup, a plate of pickled beans, a shredded potato, a bowl of pork belly and a bowl of fried bacon sent by Fang Liu, plus egg drop soup, it is considered a rich dinner in the north.
After sitting down, Sanniang gave the father and son a bowl of soup. When she saw the meat, she suddenly raised her head and stared at him and asked, "Husband, why don't you get enough meat?"
"What braised pork?" Wei Ci was a little stunned, then stared at the bowl of braised pork and asked, "Is there any braised pork in the camp today?" Why didn't he know?
Of course I didn't know that, before King Zhenbei distributed meat to reward the three armies, he ran home first.
At this moment, in the military camp.
Shangguan revealed that Li Baiyu and his brothers were sitting by the bonfire with pots of wine, and sighed: "I really forgot about my brothers when I got a wife. I promised not to come back until I get drunk tonight. When I look back, this Aci ran faster than
Everyone is too fast."
"Brother Yu, please don't be sour. If you had a beautiful daughter-in-law and a smart and lovely son waiting for you to come home, you would probably run faster than Brother Ci," someone joked.
"Go, go, is your brother that kind of person?" Li Bai glared at him and poured wine into his mouth. Feeling empty in his heart, he shouted: "Come, come, drink, drink, today I have wine and now I will be drunk."
,drink!"
"Yes! If you have wine today, you will get drunk today!"
Shangguan Tou on the side smiled bitterly, raised his head and poured the wine from the wine bottle expressionlessly. The bitter wine was so strong that it splashed into his eyes, making them red with the spicy taste.
After Li Baiyu took a sip of wine, he recited the poem again like a maniac: "I advise you to drink wine without saying goodbye. When your hair is full of wind and rain, your life is full of separation. When you can drink, drink big."
!Come and drink!”
He raised his head and drank half the bottle of wine in one gulp.
Several other people on the side looked at the two people who were drinking heavily, not knowing what to say.
Among the brothers, the two of them have the most interesting stories.
They all say that drinking wine can turn into tears of lovesickness when it enters the heart of sorrow. It is also said that people have three thousand illnesses, but only lovesickness cannot cure them.
There is wine, but the stories and people cannot be told...
.
After the meal, Sanniang was about to pack up the dishes and go to the kitchen to wash them, but Wei Ci got there first and sneaked into the kitchen with the little guy.
She thought it was just a matter of a few bowls, so she followed the father and son. Just as she was preparing to heat the kang again, there was a crackling sound from the kitchen, which startled her so much that she ran out to take a look, and she immediately felt dumbfounded.
"What...are you doing?"
At a glance, her question seemed a bit redundant.
I saw the older one holding a broom and the younger one holding a rag, as if they were trying to 'destroy the body and eliminate all traces'. When they saw her coming in, they knew they had made a mistake, so they all stood aside obediently.
Sanniang glanced at the bowls that were still intact on the stove. There were not many, only two were left. In the time it took her to open her eyes, all the bowls at home were ruined.
If this was left in Danzhou or Taohua Town, there would be no problem smashing the pots and pans house after house. The problem is that now they are in the north, a barren and desolate place. Pots and pans can only be sold in the city market.
There is one market every three days. Unfortunately, today is the day for the market, and the next one will not be held until the day after tomorrow.
Even if you have such a cheap thing, you really don’t have the money to buy it.
Wei Ci was quite familiar with the situation here and quickly said, "Don't worry, madam. I'll take Xuanxuan to the camp tomorrow morning to get some back for use first."
When the little guy heard this, he raised his face and asked in confusion: "Dad, why did you take Xuanxuan to get it?"
Can't you carry a few bowls of daddy?
Of course, he would not say that he was afraid of being embarrassed, so he planned to hold his son to divert his attention, and said deceitfully: "Because your godfather misses you, dad will take you to visit his old man. Remember to be polite when you call him."
It has been half a month since the last time I saw the King of Zhenbei. Xuan Xuan didn’t even remember it, but he still said seriously: "Yes, Xuan Xuan has remembered it. Then tomorrow Xuan Xuan will get up early and accompany his father to see what he is doing."
grandfather."
"So good!" After fooling the little guy, he looked at his wife flatteringly.
It would be nice if the scene of a loving father and a filial son were not standing neatly in the kitchen.
"Let's see what you two can do." After glaring at him, Sanniang took the broom in his hand and started to chase people away: "Get out, all of them are clumsy and make trouble for me."
The father and son did not dare to speak anymore. The older one carried the younger one, while the younger one covered his snickering mouth and rolled back into the house.
When Sanniang cleaned up the kitchen and came out, Xuanxuan was holding his little pillow and walking to the small room next to him. Sanniang asked quickly: "Xuanxuan, where are you going at night?"
"Mother, Xuanxuan is a little man now. He can no longer sleep with mother. Xuanxuan wants to sleep alone. Good night, mother!" After the little guy said this, he hugged the pillow and entered the room.
What is this all about?!
Sanniang hurriedly followed in. Mr. Wei had already warmed the small kang for him and made the bedding. As soon as Xuanxuan came in, he directly lifted the little guy and threw him into the quilt. The little guy didn't even struggle at all.
.
"No, husband, Xuanxuan is only four years old."
Are you sure that a child this big can sleep alone? Do you feel at ease?
"My wife is too worried. Four years old is not too young. She slept alone when she was two years old." Although he was deceived by his father, he can understand now. When he wants to be close to his wife, there are many little things around him.
