Except for Cheng Tianyuan, no one had ever drunk coffee, and they didn't understand how wonderful the refreshing effect of coffee was.
So when it was almost twelve o'clock, when Ahu's mother urged everyone to go to the kang to relax for a while, everyone was very energetic and no one felt sleepy.
Even Chen Lan ran out of the house with excitement on her face.
"Wow! That coffee is much better than tea! I lay there for more than half an hour and I didn't feel sleepy at all!"
Ahu Mom laughed and said, "I think so too!"
Cheng Tianyuan explained with a smile: "The first time I drank it was at noon, and I didn't fall asleep until twelve o'clock that night. The refreshing effect is very good, especially for people like us who rarely drink."
Ahu shrugged, overjoyed.
"What are you sleeping on? It's rare for everyone to get together and chat while playing cards! You can sleep every day, so what are you afraid of! If you can't sleep tonight, I guarantee you will be able to sleep tomorrow!"
Everyone laughed.
Ah Hu's mother waved to Chen Lan and said, "In that case, let's finish what we have to do tomorrow in advance. When it's almost dawn, if you can squint for a while, you can squint again then."
At this time, Chen Min, who was sitting by the window, exclaimed: "Oh! It's snowing! Why is it snowing again!"
I saw heavy snow falling outside, and large flakes of snow falling down. You could tell it was heavy snow at a glance.
"Oh! Don't let it rain too hard." Ahu couldn't help but mutter: "My car is a little shorter, so I don't need Ayuan's jeep! If the snow is too heavy, I probably won't be able to drive."
Cheng Tianyuan looked at the heavy snow falling outside the window, thought for a moment and said, "For safety's sake, you'd better drive Lingling's jeep. It's high, so even if the snow reaches your calves, it won't be a problem."
Ah Hu was embarrassed to explain: "But my sister-in-law has gone back! There was no snow at all earlier!"
Chen Min thought for a while and said: "Then just drive a car. Brother Ahu, you can stay and Ayuan will follow me. If there are many bridesmaids, let them squeeze in. It's cold.
, girls are not big, so there is no problem if they are squeezed together."
"That's not okay." Ahu's mother couldn't help but remind: "Didn't Cuiliu say that? She said that she has many cousins in the country and they all want to join in the fun. There may be eight bridesmaids. Eight
Individuals squeezing in the back—can it be done?”
Cheng Tianyuan shook his head: "If there are eight people, that's definitely not possible. It's better to prepare an extra car! It's still okay if four girls sit in the back and squeeze in."
Ah Hu suggested: "Let's do this! Ah Yuan, I'll take my car over and exchange it with my sister-in-law."
Cheng Tianyuan stood up and said, "You come with me, and then I go upstairs to get the key. My wife must have fallen asleep. If I go in, I might not wake her up."
"Okay!" Ahu is also a cheerful person and leaves as soon as he says, "Let's hurry over while there isn't much snow yet."
The two left in a hurry and went to Wangjiang Garden.
Cheng Tianyuan had the key to his home. After opening the door, he didn't even turn on the lights. He went directly to the living room to open the drawer, took Xue Ling's key, and then left quietly.
Xue Ling had been busy all day and slept soundly with her son in her arms. She had no idea that the car keys had gone missing.
Cheng Tianyuan and Ahu each drove a car and rushed to Chen Min's home.
At this time, Ahu Ma had already prepared sweet soup.
"It's too cold. Each of you can have a drink before going over."
Ahu couldn't help but complain: "Drink again? It's all sweet and greasy stuff. It makes me tired~"
"Shut up." Ahu's mother looked at him angrily and whispered: "Stop talking nonsense! On festive days, it's natural to drink something sweet."
"Oh." Ah Hu muttered: "I'm not afraid of the sky or the earth. I'm just afraid of my mother's glare."
Chen Min was also tired of eating, and whispered: "Aunt, I...can I drink half a bowl? I might have to go to the toilet on the way. That would be so inconvenient!"
"Stop making excuses!" Ah Hu's mother scolded: "Drink it all! Drink it all, don't have any leftovers. You are all grown men. Are you worried that there is no place to go to the toilet to solve the problem? Just stop the car casually on the road and solve it on the side of the road.
Got it!"
Everyone laughed softly and drank bowl after bowl without daring to refute.
Then, everyone drove off.
Cheng Tianyuan drove Chen Min behind, while Ahu drove a car by himself.
One after the other, we quickly left Rongcheng and drove up the road to the next county town.
The snow was falling one after another, and it was falling very hard. Fortunately, the road was easy to drive and the snow was falling evenly, so we drove fairly smoothly.
In the middle of the night, there was no one in the car on the road. The only worry was that the car would skid, so they both drove very slowly.
More than half an hour later, they arrived at the entrance of the village where Cuiliu was.
Cheng Tianyuan couldn't help but remind: "Are you sure this is here? There seem to be several villages nearby, all in this direction."
At night, the shadows of the trees are mottled, and the snowflakes are falling, making the visibility frighteningly low.
"Yes." Chen Min explained: "I sent her here two or three times, always turning down to this place, and then arriving at her door very quickly."
After hearing this, Cheng Tianyuan planned to continue driving——
"Bah!" Ahu from behind honked the horn.
Cheng Tianyuan stopped.
Ahu also stopped the car, quickly opened the door and ran over.
Cheng Tianyuan quickly opened the car window.
As soon as they opened it, the cold wind outside, mixed with winter snow, drifted in, shaking Cheng Tianyuan and Chen Min who were warm all over!
Ahu shouted with a smile: "Brothers, let's go to the side and solve the problem together! When we arrive at the in-laws' house later, we can't all be crowded to use the toilet! That would be too embarrassing!"
Cheng Tianyuan and Chen Min both laughed and got out of the car.
"If you don't tell me, I still don't think much about it. Let's go, let's go to the roadside together!"
"It's too dark over there, over here!"
"Why is the snow here so thick? Hasn't it been cleared yet? It's so high!"
The three of them marched forward in the snow, quickly finished their physiological excretion by the roadside, and walked back laughing.
Suddenly, Ahu stopped!
Cheng Tianyuan and Chen Min stared at him in confusion and asked, "What's going on?"
Ahu whispered: "You...did you hear someone shouting just now?"
"No!" Chen Min blurted out, then turned pale with fright and looked around in panic, "Did you—did you hear it wrong?"
It was snowing so heavily in the middle of the night, and if they hadn't had car lights, they wouldn't have been able to see the surroundings clearly.
Cheng Tianyuan was relatively calm and pressed his hands.
"Don't make any noise."
After a while, a voice came from behind them: "Help...Help...Help..."
It was actually a weak old man shouting!
The three of them rushed over there in excitement, and finally saw an old man at the corner of the roadside, half of his body buried in heavy snow.
Ahu shouted loudly: "Uncle! Hold on!"
The three of them didn't care about anything else. They used their hands to plan and push, hurriedly removing the snow from the old man's body and helping him up.
Ah Hu picked up the old man on his back and said, "Quick! Help him get into the car to get warm first! It's warm in the car!"
Cheng Tianyuan hurriedly opened the door, while Chen Min helped the old man get into the car.
"I have a thermos pot over there with water in it." Cheng Tianyuan hurried to get it.
Chen Min fed the old man some warm water, while Ah Hu helped him take off his wet trousers and took off his own coat to cover the old man.
Cheng Tianyuan saw that the old man had regained some consciousness and that he was wearing a shabby cotton-padded jacket but was very clean. He asked softly: "Old man, where are you from? Why did you fall on the roadside in the middle of the night?"
The old man gasped and whispered: "I... I have a happy event at home... When I rushed back... I accidentally fell down and my feet hurt so much that I couldn't walk... It snowed heavily again, and I almost froze to death. Fortunately,
