There are no traces of pedestrians on the streets anymore. Most shops close early and people stay warm at home with stoves burning.
Xie Hongchun's butcher shop was also forced to close its stall at this time. Seeing Suning watching under the eaves with hot tea in hand, he couldn't help but say hello: "Brother Yi, come down and sit here with me."
"My dear, I just have some time to make a few meatloaf to satisfy my craving. I'll count you one."
Suning had nothing to do, so she simply responded with a smile: "Would you like to bring wine?"
Xie Hongchun grinned and said: "It's best to have wine, but tea without wine."
"Hey, brother Yi, you can figure it out."
The two families were familiar with each other and the relationship was very good, so Xie Hongchun was naturally too lazy to be hypocritical and polite.
Being straightforward has always been his character.
Suning understood and said: "Old rules, two altars."
"Too much, too much. I'm afraid my sister-in-law will scold me."
Xie Hongchun laughed loudly, packed up the unsold leftover meat on the chopping board and walked to the main room.
Suning sat in his shop for a while, guessing that Xie Hongchun was almost done with his work, and then took out two jars of spiritual wine from the Qiankun bag and came to the door.
The ancestors of the Fujia family loved drinking and had three to four hundred jars in stock.
Just leave it alone, why not take it out for Xie Hongchun to enjoy.
Anyway, this kind of top-quality spiritual wine has no harm to him as a mortal. Drinking more of it will strengthen his body and even increase his life span.
"Uncle Yi."
As soon as he opened the heavy curtain, Suning saw Xie Wuhan and Xie Wubing, siblings, sitting obediently by the stove to warm themselves up.
And Mrs. Wang was busy in the kitchen, baking the big, fragrant and crispy meatloaf.
I tried Suning once and it tasted really good.
"Brother Yi, you can sit wherever you like and I'll change into a cotton-padded jacket."
It was winter, snowflakes were flying outside, and Xie Hongchun was so busy that he was sweating profusely.
Suning waved his hand, indicating that the other party should leave him alone.
Then he moved a small bench and squeezed in beside Xie Wubing to sit down and said, "I heard that you were beaten again last night? Why?"
The little kid remained silent, his lips pursed.
His face was full of dissatisfaction, and his mouth was full of vague thoughts.
Suning rubbed his head and couldn't help laughing and said: "It's okay. I wear thick clothes in winter, so it won't hurt after a few blows."
Xie Wubing said aggrievedly: "Who said it doesn't hurt? My mother took off my pants and spanked me."
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu Uncle Yi, it's up to you to judge. I'm not wrong about this at all."
"I'm not lying, I really saw that brother An Feng cuddling with another girl on North Street."
"I, my mother must have said that I saw the wrong person."
"I don't......"
Speaking of this, the little kid gritted his teeth, stared at Xie Wuhan who was sitting opposite him with burning eyes and said, "Father doesn't believe me, mother doesn't believe me, and you don't believe me either."
"Sister, I don't want you anymore."
"It's in vain that I think about you and care about you no matter what delicious food I eat. You didn't hold my mother back when she beat me."
"Aww, you are fanning the flames and adding insult to injury."
While crying, Xie Wubing even let out a wolf cry.
That's called pitiful, tragic, and miserable.
Just as Suning was about to inquire carefully, in the kitchen, the hot-tempered Mrs. Wang rushed out with a rolling pin and said, "What do you want to say?"
"Wang, you are rebelling against heaven, aren't you?"
"Your brother Anfeng was assigned by the store the morning before yesterday to personally escort a batch of embroidery to "Meilan Town" two hundred miles away."
"This is a one-way trip. At least I won't be able to return home until this afternoon."
"I also asked an acquaintance to inquire, and he indeed went to "Meilan Town". You are the only one with sharp eyes, and you still refuse to admit that you saw it right?"
"I think you think my whipping was too light and you want to get a taste of it with a few more sticks?"
Xie Wubing was so frightened that he didn't dare to cry anymore. He curled up and leaned against Suning.
Tears were streaming down my face, and I kept wiping my face and choking.
The weak-tempered Xie Wuhan also explained at this time: "Uncle Yi, I really recognized the wrong person. When An Feng escorted the goods to the carriage, I watched him leave with my own eyes."
"And he made an agreement with me that after returning to the city today, he will come to my house for dinner in the evening."
"Well, meet my parents and recognize the door by the way."
After saying these words, her face was on fire, and her face was red all the way to her ears.
Suning hurriedly acted as peacemaker, hugged Xie Wubing in his arms and said, "It's dark and it's human nature to make mistakes."
"Besides, Wu Bian also cares about his sister. His intentions are very good."
