The clear and loud slaps echoed in the dining room, Chujiu covered her head and looked at Grandma Jian Shu pitifully.
"Brat, have you forgotten something?"
Grandma Jian Shu stared at her palms, she was so resentful of this brat that her hands hurt from the beating.
On the ninth day of the lunar month, I dug out two more cans among the supplies and casually said that some sister-in-law would give me fifty yuan.
"I'll go upstairs and get it."
"I have it in my pocket."
Xiao Yu and Niu Niu spoke at the same time, and then Niu Niu looked at Xiao Yu awkwardly. He didn't mean anything else, and he happened to have some change in his pocket.
Xiaoyu stared at the cow with a wicked smile on her face. Before she had time to think about it, Sister Xiaoyu started to feel guilty.
"On the ninth day of the lunar month, go ahead with confidence. I promise to start dinner in ten minutes."
Lanxi looked at the red-faced cow and covered her mouth and chuckled. If she didn't come back in ten minutes on the ninth day of the lunar month, she would have to drink as a penalty.
"It doesn't take ten minutes, eight minutes is enough."
Chujiu shouted, "I, Lao Sun, will come as soon as I can," and rushed out of the room with a burst of wind.
"Lan Xi, do you think Xiao Chujiu can be back in ten minutes?"
Mi Li looked at Xiaoyu and the cow, how about making a bet that he would not be able to come back on the ninth day of the lunar month, and the distance between them would be more than three miles.
Xiao Yu held Niu Niu's arm and sat down at the dinner table to ask Niu Niu to choose first. Niu Niu whispered that the average score of college boys' thousand-meter distance running was four minutes and forty seconds, and given the road conditions in the village, they would definitely not be able to return in ten minutes.
"Okay, now even if the ninth day of the new year leaves for half a minute, let's time it."
Mi Li and Cow bet on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year for more than ten minutes. The three of us bet on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year within ten minutes. The bet is three cups of rice wine as a penalty.
For some reason, we started talking about the sports meeting of the freshman school, and Cow told everyone that I was the champion of the three-thousand-meter long-distance race at that time, and she was the one who gave me the certificate.
"Will you still sign up for sports meets in the next few years?"
Xiaoyu looked at me slightly surprised. He had never heard me say these things before. I shook my head and then I stopped participating in the school's long-distance running.
"Then do you know who the champion will be in the next three years?"
The cow tilted her head and smiled. Maybe she knew the classmate who won the championship.
"Of course you know me, it's Chujiu."
The smile on the cow's face gradually solidified, Lanxi and Xiaoyu pursed their lips and smiled. Sister Xiaoyu made a mistake this time.
"Brother Feng, what are your grades in the ninth grade of junior high school?"
Mi Li pouted and stared at me expectantly, still holding on to a glimmer of hope that he could win in the end.
"It must have broken the record for three consecutive years. I remember it was about three minutes before the nod came out."
To be honest, I was actually asked to participate in long-distance running every year in my grade. I was lazy and recommended the ninth grade.
Lanxi and Xiaoyu happily lifted the wine jar to the table and began to pour wine into the cow and rice wine glasses.
Grandma Jian Shu also pushed her wine glass in front of Lan Xi, actually betting in her heart that she wouldn't be able to come back from the ninth day of the lunar month.
The atmosphere at the dinner table immediately reached a new high. Lanxi shouted that she would not get drunk until she drank today. Grandma Jian Shu smiled and said that if the wine was not enough, she still had several jars of sorghum wine under the bed.
"Hahaha, I'm back~"
Chujiu's voice just came from outside the house, and a black shadow was seen. Chujiu was already sitting firmly at the dining table.
"Why are you back so soon?"
Everyone present stared at Chujiu in astonishment. It had only been less than five minutes.
Chujiu ran his hand through his hair and met the brewing uncle halfway. He threw his things and money to him and ran back without saying a word.
Mi Li looked at the cow and the corner of her mouth twitched slightly. How could she have forgotten that this was a great foodie.
Chujiu, who knew the bet, laughed and raised his wine glass. He wanted to drink these three glasses of wine with the three losers.
Cow and Grandma Jian Shu hadn't finished their glass of wine yet, but they had finished their third glass of wine on the ninth day of the Lunar New Year. Oh my, it was such a thirst quencher. I was really tired from running so fast.
"Lan Xi, please take out the wine jar under grandma's bed."
Grandma Jian Shu, who had been feeling guilty for beating Chujiu before, suddenly found that her hands were showing signs of wanting to hit someone again.
Chu Jiu rolled his eyes, sorghum wine is sorghum wine, even if he drinks sorghum wine, he will not lose to everyone else.
Mi Li stretched out a finger and shook it disdainfully at Chujiu. He was the best drinker in the village.
The meal lasted from just dark to late at night. As Chujiu said, all the twenty kilograms of rice wine in the four wine jars were drank up. In the end, everyone drank the sorghum wine secretly stored by Grandma Jian Shu.
The cow that all of us disliked was not the first to get drunk. She was just a little tongue-tied when she spoke.
"I'm going to use the toilet."
The cow stood up unsteadily, Xiaoyu stopped the rice grains that were worried about the cow, and he happened to have to go to the toilet.
Lanxi made a face at me, brother, you are so lucky.
Grandma Jian Shu rarely laughed from the bottom of her heart. She didn't know what good things the brat had, and she almost had the urge to adopt him as her grandson-in-law.
Mi Li's face turned red and she whispered shyly that she didn't want to get married, she wanted to stay with her grandma all the time.
"Qin Feng, sister Xiaoyu drank a little too much and wants to go out for a walk. You can accompany her for a walk."
The two of them came back from going to the toilet. Xiao Yu smiled and originally wanted to go out with the cow for a walk, but she felt that she had drunk too much, so she asked me to go out with the cow for her to sober up.
Perhaps because he drank too much, the cow didn't pay attention and wandered toward the door.
I glanced at Xiaoyu, stood up and left the room. The cow's appearance was really uneasy.
I followed the cow and watched her wandering along the lake to the boulder next to the hot spring.
"You idiot, you followed me and didn't say anything."
The cow took off her sneakers, soaked her feet in the hot spring water, and looked at me with blurred eyes. She was not so drunk that she could not speak.
"Why don't you soak your feet? It's quite comfortable."
The cow put his hands back on the stone slab and looked up at the sky. In fact, when I first saw you, I thought you were quite earthy.
I smiled helplessly, took off my shoes and sat next to the cow.
"I found me in the teacher's apartment on the ninth day of the lunar month, and I actually left your class information and name."
Cow looked at me and raised the corner of his mouth, and then stared at the sky. He took the opportunity of roll call in class to contact Chujiu again, who was driven away by him.
Unexpectedly, Qin Feng was not the little boy who found him the day before.
Niu Niu said with a smile that at first he suppressed his inner doubts and randomly asked questions in the textbook. Unexpectedly, I didn't answer them.
When I arrived at her office, the cow saw me for the first time and had only one feeling:
Looking at the handsome young man, he has reached a new height. The light blue T-shirt is tucked into the green school uniform pants, and he is wearing a pair of dirty black corduroy shoes.
