Chapter 663: Reunion before leaving with the elders
Yu Chuan will leave for Gaozhou to take office at the end of May.
Therefore, this practice wine is scheduled for May 20th.
In the previous time, Yu Chuan had been having various small gatherings with other colleagues.
In fact, it’s all about practice.
The relationship was particularly good, so I left it to the end.
The wine practice on May 20th is scheduled in the evening.
The three brothers of the Xiao family are still in the academy. Yu Chuan means not to delay the children's studies and not let them come back.
Moreover, the main thing was that old friends were drinking, and Xiao Nianzhi was joining in the fun.
Yan Xingxuan heard the news early in the morning.
So he went to pick up Xiao Nianzhi specially, and the two of them came back with gifts.
When Xiao Nianzhi and the others arrived, the uncle was already busy.
Yu Chuan also arrived, and the two were talking.
Seeing the two young people walking over, Yu Chuan couldn't help but sigh: "Time flies so fast!"
It's not fast.
It felt like the first time I met this little girl Xiao Nianzhi, it seemed like it had just happened.
But in the blink of an eye, two years have passed.
Xiao Nianzhi also looked thin since he first entered the capital, but now he has put on some fat and is a little rounder and cute.
Moreover, people also grow taller and wider.
She lost a bit of childishness and gained a bit of stability and maturity.
Thinking about the thin and shy little girl I met before, I always feel...
Time stretches far away, but memories stay very close.
Listening to his old friend's sigh, Xiao Zhuo couldn't help but sigh: "But, in the blink of an eye, they have grown up, and so have we."
After hearing this, Yu Chuan couldn't help but laugh out loud: "I don't want to say this, I'm not old yet, I can still do it."
No, they have all been sent to Gaozhou to open up wasteland, but they are still young.
The two chatted for a few words and quickly stood up.
After Xiao Nianzhi and Yan Xingxuan walked over, Xiao Nianzhi first greeted the two elders.
Then the two elders paid tribute to the powerful man Yan Xingxuan.
After a certain etiquette, they sat down.
While chatting, we waited for the dinner to start.
Considering that there were still young people and little girls there, Xiao Zhuo chose to share the meal.
They were divided into two tables, one for the elderly and one for the young.
There are no outsiders here, and we don't care, men and women are sharing the same table, or anything like that.
Their relationship is so good, it's not bad this time.
For such an arrangement, Yan Xingxuanmei's lips could not curve any lower.
The food for the dinner was relatively light, and there were definitely some meaty dishes paired with the wine, but most of it was fairly light and tasted refreshing.
Xiao Nianzhi quite likes this way of eating.
Even though the big fish and meat are delicious, I can’t resist eating them all the time.
Yan Xingxuan also thought it was good. He had attended several banquets in the past two days.
Some don't, and many require a formality, but since it involves kinship relations, it's hard not to show up, let alone just leave without eating.
So, eat one meal at this house and another meal at that house.
Every meal is a big fish and meat, even if the chef cooks it in various ways, he still can’t stand it, it’s greasy!
Yan Xingxuan felt that his stomach was about to pop out recently.
When he thought of his father's big belly, Yan Xingxuan felt bad!
Your Majesty is still keeping well, but now his belly is getting rounder.
Thinking again about Brother Kang Wang...
Yan Xingxuan knew that if he continued to eat, he might become Brother Kang Wang No. 2.
Therefore, he has reduced his food intake recently.
If you go out to eat, just drink some vegetable soup or something when you get home.
Anyway, meat is very filling, so you don’t feel particularly hungry even if you don’t eat it.
Now this meal was just right to his heart's content.
It's rare to sit at the same table with Xiao Nianzhi. This is a treatment that I have never had before.
Yan Xingxuan was very happy. From time to time he turned his head and asked, how does it taste?
Do you want any seasoning?
Is this delicious?
Do you want more food?
Is there enough tea?
…
His considerate and attentive appearance made the two people across from him feel sour.
Xiao Zhuoxian couldn't help but sighed: "It's great to be young."
Yu Chuan nodded in agreement: "Who says it's not the case? Who has never been young? Think about our own..."
When Yu Chuan mentioned himself, his voice was unconsciously tinged with bitterness.
In the end, I was really speechless, so I simply picked up the wine glass, filled it directly for myself, and then drank it.
The alcoholic drinks they chose were not high in alcohol content, but had a very long-lasting aftertaste.
However, that will all happen later.
When you drink it, it has a soft texture and a pleasant taste.
Besides, how can you not get drunk after drinking?
What's the point of not being drunk?
Especially for people who have a bitter heart, how can they eliminate the sorrow and sadness in their hearts without getting drunk?
Seeing that Yu Chuan did not hesitate and drank a glass of wine, Xiao Zhuo opened his mouth, but the words of persuasion were not uttered.
He thought about it for a while, and finally his eyes turned red, and then he filled himself a cup and drank it.
Yu Chuan watched from the side and couldn't help laughing and teasing: "Why did you take another sip? What's wrong with you?"
Xiao Zhuo sneered unconvinced: "You are allowed to be infatuated, but you are not allowed to miss the past? I don't want to be so domineering!"
Hearing Xiao Zhuo mention infatuation, Yu Chuan's eyes darkened. After looking away, he gave another wordless bitter smile, and then drank another glass of wine.
Xiao Zhuo watched from the side, but this time he tried to persuade him: "Don't drink in such a hurry. Good wine should be tasted slowly. What kind of taste can you get from drinking like this?"
Regarding this, Yu Chuan had his own thoughts: "As long as you have a taste for it, drink... is just a tool."
Speaking of this, Yu Chuan's eyes were vaguely filled with water.
Xiao Zhuo watched from the side and sighed heavily: "Will I go see my sister-in-law tomorrow?"
Hearing the word sister-in-law, the water in Yu Chuan's eyes became a little brighter. After a long time, he responded muffledly: "Well, after saying goodbye, I don't know when I will come back next time. I have to tell her."
.”
Xiao Zhuo knew that the other party was feeling uncomfortable, so he thought about it and clinked glasses with Yu Chuan gently: "What nonsense are you talking about? You will definitely have to return to Beijing to report on your work at the end of the year."
No matter how far apart Xinzhou is for land reclamation and education, at the end of the first year, the governor will definitely come back to report on the work in person.
Therefore, saying that we don’t know when we will return is still too far away.
We have to save this for next year.
Because if the work goes well, it's hard to say when I will come back to report on my work.
However, if you do well, you may be promoted and return to the capital in three to five years.
But, that place in Gaozhou...
The mountains are high and the roads are far away, and it used to be a strange existence.
No one knows how far they can do it?
All we can do is do our best and obey fate.
Xiao Nianzhi, who was sitting opposite, had actually wondered about Yu Chuan more than once.
However, it seems that it is not easy to ask uncles about elders' matters.
At this time, they were not far apart, and each other's voices could still be vaguely heard.
Xiao Nianzhi always felt that there seemed to be something going on in between.
