20 years of the Republic of China

Chapter 274 Reality

This meal actually lasted for most of the day.

But there is no such thing as a banquet that lasts forever. When it was past eight o'clock in the evening, everyone finally stood up unsteadily and clinked the cups and plates on the table.

Liu Fengqi tasted good but couldn't drink it. He was a slow drinker. Everyone waited for him for a long time until the party was over. There was still half a glass of Fugen in his wine glass, but he was already drunk.

"Brother, we two brothers had a lot of fun today!"

Liu Fengqi tilted his head, pointed at the mess on the table, and spoke with a loud tongue: "Remember, eat well and drink well! This restaurant is not bad, it's true, the food is good."

Jiang Lianheng had a good drinking capacity and was not confused yet. When he heard this, he couldn't help but secretly thought: Who the hell is inviting whom?

"Where are my brothers and sisters? Where are my brothers and sisters? Ah, they are here! So what, have you eaten well? If not, let's move to another place and continue drinking. It's so easy to come here and you must have fun. Is that right?"

Xiaohua was also a little drunk, her steps were sloppy and her face was hot, so she subconsciously hugged Jiang Lianheng's arm.

"Thank you, Manager Liu, for making you laugh."

Unexpectedly, Liu Fengqi didn't take the issue at all, turned his head and continued to go crazy towards others.

Mr. Tong also drank a lot, but he could still hold on to his dignity and walked to the door. Before leaving, he did not forget to say a few auspicious words.

"Jiang Shaoxia, we don't know each other even before fighting. I wish you a prosperous business and a lot of money!"

Jiang Lianheng quickly clasped his fists and replied: "Master Tong, we are all happy! You have contributed a lot to the opening of the company this time. I will definitely come to thank you in the future!"

Everyone said goodbye one by one at the door, said a lot of heroic words that were not worthy of belief, and then turned around and got into the carriages of each house.

Wang Zhengnan had already hired one in advance. When he saw Jiang Lianheng and Xiaohua walking out of the store, he immediately sent the driver to greet them, opened the door curtain, and pushed the two into the car.

A bunch of bells rang, and the carriage came on the road.

In the past, Xiaohua only had a small drink with everyone during the Chinese New Year. Today, it was the first time she drank so much wine. It was inevitable that she would feel dizzy and her breathing was suffocated. Coupled with the bumps of the carriage, she felt indescribably uncomfortable, so she ignored it. Not showing any respect for elders or younger ones, he tilted his head and rested his head on Jiang Lianheng's shoulder, feeling drowsy.

I never thought that as soon as I closed my eyes, I felt something rustling under my skirt, as if something was about to touch up.

"ah!"

Xiaohua woke up suddenly, subconsciously crossed her legs, stretched out her hands, and grabbed Jiang Lianheng's wrist.

"Brother... no, master... you, what are you doing?"

Jiang Lianheng fell asleep, pretending to be woken up, and knowingly asked: "Huh? What happened?"

The light in the carriage was dim, and Xiaohua's eyes were so drunk that she couldn't see Jiang Lianheng's face clearly. She only felt that there seemed to be a dark and boundless silhouette shrouding her eyes.

"Master, you...don't hurt me!"

"Hey! Do you know how to call me master now?" Jiang Lianheng's face was still blurry, but his tone was half-smiling, "Didn't you just say 'Lianheng' one by one, and you were very smooth? Call me another one." "

Xiaohua's throat tightened, her stomach spasmed, and her heart pounded wildly.

"That's my sister-in-law... No, it was grandma who asked me to say that."

"Your sister-in-law is good at what she says, but I'm not good at what I say?"

"I don't mean that." Xiaohua tried to break away, "Master, can you let go first?"

"It can't be loosened, it's stuck." Jiang Lian asked suddenly, "Xiaohua, how old are you?"

"Ten...eighteen, what's wrong?"

"Well! It's not young anymore, it's time to bloom."

"Master, don't, don't make trouble, otherwise... you'd better ask grandma first, I feel a little uncomfortable."

"Ask her why. She didn't come on her own. She has to ask you to be her sister-in-law. What are you afraid of? You'll be full of energy after a while."

"No, Master... don't do it, don't do it, it hurts... I feel really uncomfortable..."

Jiang Lianheng was impatient, half commanding, half flattering: "Oh, stop being pretentious, I'm feeling more uncomfortable than you right now!"

"Wait a minute, wait a minute, ah..."

Xiaohua frowned and covered her mouth. Suddenly she felt her stomach churning, and then with a "wow" sound, she vomited Jiang Lianheng's arms full.

"Uu——"

The coachman suddenly tightened the reins, and the carriage suddenly stopped—oh! This time it's better, it's all spread out!

"Hey! Can you catch a train?"

Just when Jiang Lianheng was about to open his mouth to curse, he saw the car curtain in front of him lift up, and the old man driving the car laughed evilly and said: "Hey! Man, you are having a wild time, and you will get double the fare!"

…………

The next morning, Yutai Inn.

The spring oriole chirped, and the sunlight filtered through the window lattice, gently caressing the little flower's face.

Her brows furrowed slightly, and she slowly woke up from her daze. She tilted her head and looked at the pillow, but there was no one there. Waking up from a hangover is the most torturous time.

Xiaohua only felt empty in her stomach, and her brain seemed to be detached. After a few moments of swaying, she began to have a splitting headache.

She lay on the bed and after a long while, she sat up and stretched out her feet to fumble for the shoes on the floor.

Too lazy to dress up, I hastily put on my sister-in-law's cheongsam. Just as I was about to stand up, my legs suddenly became weak and I almost fell to the ground. So I walked out shakily, holding on to the tea table, wardrobe, door frame and other objects. room, calmed down, walked through the corridor, and opened the door of the guest room opposite.

In the room, in addition to Wang Zhengnan, Li Zhengxi, Liu Yansheng and Chuang Hu, there were three or two younger brothers, but Jiang Lianheng and Zhao Guoyan were missing.

When everyone saw her coming in, they seemed to suddenly stop talking to each other, and they all looked towards the door with a smile.

Xiaohua lowered her head shyly, her face immediately flushed.

"Um...why aren't Brother Dao and Brother Zhao here?"

Wang Zhengnan smiled and said, "They have gone to the company. Brother Dao wants to explain something to Lao Zhao."

"Oh……"

Xiaohua didn't know what to say, but her stomach growled first, causing everyone to laugh, which made her blush even more with embarrassment.

"Um... have you eaten? I'm a little hungry."

Liu Yan smiled and pushed Nan Feng and shouted, "Did you hear that? What are you doing standing there in a daze? Sister Hua said you are hungry. Why don't you go downstairs to prepare food?"

Wang Zhengnan chuckled, shook his head, and said: "Sister Hua is hungry, but it's not okay. If you say that Second Sister-in-law is hungry, even if I want to eat Fengtian's Luoji donkey meat dumplings, I have to go to the station to buy a ticket immediately!"

The little girl couldn't help but be amused.

Upon hearing this, Xiaohua's eyes turned red with shame and anger, and she said angrily: "You don't need to be there, I'll go down by myself!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Zhengxi suddenly put away his smiling face, walked to the door in a few steps, and whispered: "Xiaohua, you go back to the house and rest! Whatever you want to eat, I will go downstairs and call you!"

…………

A few minutes later, Li Zhengxi walked into Xiaohua's room with a bowl of hot clear soup noodles and placed the tray on the tea table.

"Hey! I asked someone to nest two eggs for you! Come on, eat them while they're hot."

Xiaohua wiped her tears secretly, walked slowly to the table, picked up the noodles twice with chopsticks, and murmured in a low voice: "Thank you, Brother Xiaoshuan."

"Hey! It's so fresh! Does the sun come out in the west today?"

Li Zhengxi sat down on the stool next to him and said with a smile: "We have grown up together, and this is the first time I have heard you say 'thank you' to me! When I was a child, I helped you grab steamed buns, and you would fight with others. You never said 'thank you' to me, what a conscientious person!"

"Impossible!" Xiaohua took a sip of noodle soup gently, "I must have said it, but you didn't remember it."

"Hey! Did I forget?" Li Zhengxi was too lazy to talk about old things, but asked: "Hey, why did you cry just now? Were you not happy?"

Xiaohua blinked, but said: "I'm not unhappy! They are deliberately making me angry and annoying!"

In the final analysis, Xiaohua is just a miserable little beggar who has never been to school or studied. He has no idea about the so-called new trends of thought and has no interest in understanding them.

In her heart, she was her sister-in-law's personal maid, and sleeping with her master was a matter of course since ancient times, and it was not worth making a fuss about.

Although the sister-in-law Hu Xiaoyan did not say it explicitly, in the past two years, she had already revealed this meaning in her words, and Xiaohua had already been mentally prepared for this.

The same is true for Li Zhengxi. He treats Xiaohua as a younger sister, but he also doesn't think there is anything excessive about Brother Dao.

"If you understand something, why don't you be happy? Brother Dao and sister-in-law have a big family and have taken good care of us since childhood. After Lao Cui left, if it weren't for brother Dao and sister-in-law, we might have died when the plague broke out that year. They have to live on the streets and either starve to death or die of illness.”

"I know!" Xiaohua said lightly, "I've always remembered it in my heart! Aren't you the same?"

"That's necessary. Even if my sister-in-law asks me to block the bullet for her, I will do it!"

"Yes, me too!"

Li Zhengxi peeled off a clove of garlic for Xiaohua, put it on the tray, and then said: "Xiaohua, this is actually quite good. You are different from the four of us. We are men. We will start a family and start a business in the future. No matter what, it will not matter. It’s so annoying. But you, if I were to marry you off, I’d be worried about you being bullied!”

Xiaohua nodded, but still a little hesitant and worried.

"That's what I said, but... I'm afraid that my sister-in-law will be unhappy. Although she means this, she has never said it explicitly... I'm afraid that she will make arbitrary decisions..."

"No!" Li Zhengxi waved his hand quickly and comforted, "My sister-in-law regards us as her biological brothers and sisters, so I can't punish you for this. When you return to Fengtian, you can find a chance to talk to her properly. Anyway, don't worry, Even if my sister-in-law really wants to punish you, I will take the beating for you!"

As he spoke, he patted his chest proudly.

The two chatted for a while, and Xiaohua's expression gradually returned to normal.

No one involved or bystanders seemed to think there was anything wrong with the relationship between Brother Dao and Xiaohua, but they seemed to have overlooked the most important and least important point - I heard some people called it As "love".

Helpless in troubled times, that thing is far away from everyone...
