Traveled into the chronicle and was pampered by a reckless man

Chapter 17
The entire Wangjiaba Village was brightly lit. Although the candles and kerosene lamps had limited light, they couldn't resist the huge number of people. In the quiet mountain depression, there was a lot of excitement.Like a star left by the Milky Way, it glows with a deep light.

There is a big camphor tree in front of Erye’s house. I don’t know how old it is, but according to the elders in the village, it is more than 200 years old.

The second master likes to sit under the camphor tree and smoke yellow shredded tobacco. He used to grow tobacco leaves himself, but now he doesn't grow them anymore and buys them for smoking.Almost all of his money was spent on smoking.

"You old man, it's getting late, isn't it cold sitting here?" Zhou Chunhe saw a dark shadow under the tree from a long distance, and when he got closer, it was indeed the second master.

The second master raised his eyes to look over, but it was of no use, his eyes could no longer see clearly, and it was such a drowsy night again.

"Who's that person there?" Er Ye tapped on the stem of the cigarette, which he also made himself, using that familiar bamboo whip, dig a hole in the head of the whip, and then hollow out the whole bamboo pole.

Erye's tobacco rod has been used for many years, and it has been covered with pulp. It is an old thing.

"You can't even hear my voice?" Zhou Chunhe asked.

The person was already approaching, and the second master also saw his figure, "Why are you here for the Chinese New Year?"

"Of course I'm here to drink your wine, come in quickly." Zhou Chunhe urged.

The second master smiled, got up, and was startled, "Why is there another one?"

"My daughter-in-law, I told you." Zhou Chunhe said with a naive smile, and only when Jiang Lu was mentioned did this savage demon king show a little shyness.

"The one with 300 yuan?" The second master moved closer to Zhou Chunhe.

He thought he was already very quiet, but because his ears were not very sharp, he didn't feel that he was speaking loudly, so every word and every word came to Jiang Lu's ears clearly, and it was hard for Jiang Lu not to hear.

"Second Master, keep your voice down, my wife can hear you." Zhou Chunhe reminded.

"Ah, she won't blame me."

"Second Master, I don't blame you." Jiang Lu said suddenly, looking at the two people in front of him with a smile.

The second master choked and closed his mouth.

Jiang Lu could tell that the second master was very old, and every organ in his body was degenerating. What else could one do at this age?It's just doing whatever she wants, how can she take it away.

And what people say is true.

Zhou Chunhe smiled like a fool, and finally introduced his daughter-in-law to someone he respected in a decent way.

After entering the house, Jiang Lu finally realized what a bare house is. In this comparison, the old Zhou's house is considered top-notch. How can there be a trace of New Year's atmosphere in this house?The table with four legs is the most luxurious furniture in the whole house. The kerosene lamp is not even lit on the table. The moonlight pours in and sneaks in through the window.

Zhou Chunhe didn't care so much, he took out a match from his pocket, and lit the oil lamp.

"Second Lord, let's have a drink, no, let's open it up and drink tonight." Zhou Chunhe didn't ask Second Master what to eat for the New Year. She walked into the room, and she guessed it, probably, the second master hasn't celebrated the new year yet.

Cold pot and cold stove, there is no smell of food in the house.

"Daughter-in-law, there are two eggs in my pocket." Zhou Chunhe said to Jiang Lu.

Jiang Lu was stunned for a moment before realizing, "Oh, I'll make you some scrambled eggs to go with your wine."

"Scrambled eggs, it's a waste, it would be good to have this peanut." The second master said.

"No, it will spoil if you don't eat it today." Jiang Lu said it almost without thinking.

Zhou Chunhe glanced at her, and the second master also glanced at her.

"Well, what I said is true, this egg was missed, maybe how many days it has been lying in the nest." Jiang Lu added.

"Yes, what you said is correct." Zhou Chunhe grinned and strongly agreed.

Jiang Lu plunged into the kitchen, her face scalded like fireworks from every household.

Taking advantage of Jiang Lu's scrambled eggs, Zhou Chunhe helped the second master to light up the fire in the house.

According to the ancestral custom of Wangjiaba Village, on the night of the New Year's Eve, a fire will be lit after the New Year's Eve dinner.

There was no brazier in the second master's house, so Zhou Chunhe simply started it on the mud floor of the main room.Large pieces of wood that have been dried in the sun met with a few sparks, and within a quarter of an hour, the fire was red, and the flames shot up to the heights, and the simple house of the second master suddenly lit up, and the fire light illuminated the whole house , It also illuminated the second master's face, and even his body became warmer.

"Isn't this very good, it has to make it cold at home during the Chinese New Year." Zhou Chunhe said, the wine has been poured, the peanuts have been put on the plate, and the two of them drank happily.

The kitchen of the second master's house is behind the main room, half a wall away, so you can hear everything. Jiang Lu heard that Zhou Chunhe was going to fight with the second master, but he lost two fists to the second master. The second master laughed so hard that tears came out But in the third hand, Zhou Chunhe won, and the second master drank the wine happily.

Jiang Lu fried the two eggs carefully, not daring to put more salt or less salt, this is the most precious New Year's Eve dinner for the second master, she can't mess it up.

When she brought a plate of scrambled eggs to the table, she had a slightly apologetic look on her face, "The scrambled eggs are a bit old and burnt."

"It's okay, Second Master likes to eat old ones." Zhou Chunhe said on behalf of Second Master.

"Exactly, although the second master said that there are only three or four teeth left, he really likes to eat old eggs." The second master said happily.

Taking advantage of the fire, Jiang Lu saw that Er Ye had taken off his outer cotton padded jacket, and inside was a sweater, but it was already in disrepair, and the color could not be seen. There were signs of loose threads on the chest and sleeves, and the second master The Lord himself made a knot, but at least it stopped and continued to deteriorate.

On the plate of peanuts on the table, the second master tremblingly picked up one, and it took him a long time to swallow it. The way he chewed with his shriveled lips reminded Jiang Lu of his grandfather.Don't overdo it, I can't bear to watch it.

"Second Master, it's Chinese New Year today, and I'll respect you too." Jiang Lu picked up Zhou Chunhe's wine bowl and respected Second Master.

Second Master's hand holding the bowl trembled even more, "Second Master must drink this wine."

After eating a bowl, the second master was not confused at all. Zhou Chunhe's Adam's apple rolled and his eyes were red.

He glanced at his daughter-in-law, his eyes were full of approval.

"Drink, I'll go warm up." Jiang Lu said.

The fire was getting bigger and bigger, and the room was getting warmer and warmer. Jiang Lu was sitting on a small bench, a little sleepy. She should have brought the wool over to weave if she knew it earlier.Even though it was just that sip of wine, Jiang Lu's face turned red, and she touched it with her hand, it was hot.

"Second Master, is the sewing machine in your room still there?" Zhou Chunhe asked hurriedly, remembering this incident.

"What?" Second Master couldn't hear clearly.

"Is the sewing machine still there?" Zhou Chunhe raised his voice.

Jiang Lu, who was dozing off, woke up immediately.

"It's in the firewood room, take it away if you want it." The second master waved his hand.

"Then I'll pick it up tomorrow."

"You can decide for yourself, any day is fine, and it will save trouble if you pull it away, it will get in the way."

Zhou Chunhe had a few more glasses of wine with the second master. The scrambled eggs were all gone, Zhou Chunhe barely moved, but he ate a lot of peanuts, and the night was getting late.

"You wait, I'll fetch something." Second Master said suddenly.

"What are you taking?" Zhou Chunhe helped him up.

"Come here." The second master entered the back room.

"What is Second Master doing?" Jiang Lu also asked.

"It's about taking something, it's mysterious, this old man."
