Liangyue Farm Gate

Chapter 58

Dinner was eaten in the main room, and Guan Wen hugged his uncle together with the reclining chair.Guan set the table and chopsticks for Zhao Changhui to see if his younger brother came back.

Zhao Changsheng is now working as an apprentice in a winery, learning the craft of brewing wine, and he can still get six hundred dollars a month as a salary.His brother Zhao Changhui was an errand worker in the restaurant. When Guan Wen asked him for help, it happened that the restaurant's business was a bit slow. Zhao Changhui told the shopkeeper and went to help Guan's family with errands.Because he was diligent and straightforward, the shopkeeper of the restaurant valued him very much, and when he was free, people nearby were willing to ask him to help with errands, and he also got some money from it.

Coupled with the monthly rent from Zhao’s restaurants and the monthly wages that Guan’s usually earns from washing clothes for some big households, the family of four can live a pretty good life.

Zhao Changhui was waiting, when he heard a dog barking in the street from afar, he turned his head and said, "My brother is back."

Guan Shi went to the kitchen and brought up the prepared meals one by one, and Li Xin was busy cleaning up the aftermath in the kitchen.Mrs. Guan went to fetch the wine jar, saw that Li Xin was still busy, paused and said, "Stop busy, your second cousin is back, let's go out for dinner together."

Because the Zhao family has a small population, they don't have the habit of eating at separate tables, and the only female family member in the family is Guan's family, so they don't pay much attention.

Li Xin followed Mrs. Guan out, untied the apron he was wearing, and as soon as he walked to the main room, he saw a boy of fifteen or sixteen years old coming in from outside. full of energy.Seeing Guan Wen, the young man exclaimed first, then stepped over a few steps and hugged Guan Wen, saying, "Big cousin, I miss you so much!"

Guan Wen broke off his arm, hit him once, and scolded with a smile: "My boy, my strength has increased a lot!"

"The master of the winery told me to practice my arm strength more, so that I can be more powerful when I beat the lees." The young man chuckled, glanced at Li Xin, scratched his head and said, "Is this my cousin?"

"Second cousin, you are being polite. Your eldest cousin often mentions you."

Li Xin said politely.The boy, that is, Zhao Changsheng's eyes lit up, and his face blushed slightly, "Big cousin didn't say anything bad about me, did he?"

"No, they all praise you."

Li Xin felt amused in his heart.The two brothers are the same, and they both seemed very shy when they first met her.This is also their innocence.

Mrs. Guan greeted: "Stop sticking around outside, come in and eat!"

Guan Shi and Zhao Guangming are elders, so they naturally sat at the table.Guan Wen was happy, and drank a lot of wine with his uncle, Zhao Changhui and Zhao Changsheng also drank some.During the dinner, Zhao Changsheng kept saying that today’s food and drink were much more delicious than in the past, he slipped his fat intestines with chopsticks and murmured, “How can this pig intestines be so delicious without being fishy”, but he didn’t seek the answer, just Feed your stomach.

Mrs. Guan ate her food in silence, seldom speaking.Li Xin watched, pouring drinks for Zhao Guangming and Guan Wen from time to time, seeing that Guan Wen was drinking endlessly, worry appeared in his eyes, and he wanted to persuade him but felt that it was not the time.

He was full of wine and food, and Guan Wen was not a greedy person, so he asked Li Xin to help Guan clean up the dinner table.He was already a little drunk, but his mind was still a little clear, and he asked Zhao Changhui with his tongue out: "How is the income of your restaurant? The monthly expenses of the family can be handled well, right?"

"Big cousin, our family is fine, everything is fine." Zhao Changhui answered him, then turned to ask Guan, "Mother, do you want to cook a bowl of hangover soup for big cousin? I think he is a little drunk. "

Guan's movements didn't stop, he glanced at Guan Wen and said, "Daughter-in-law Ah Wen, go and cook a bowl of hangover soup for your boss, I'll clean it up here."

Li Xin responded, went over to rub Guan Wen's stomach, angrily avoided people and gave him a glare before going to the kitchen.

Guan Wen chuckled, "I'm not drunk, I'm happy today..."

Then he said to Zhao Changsheng with his tongue out: "You can't just beating distiller's grains in the winery, but you have to learn other things...More craftsmanship is not bad for you, and you will have money to ask for a wife in the future..."

Zhao Changsheng nodded with a blushing face, and went to pull Guan Wen, "Big cousin, go and lie down in the room."

"I'm not going to lie down, I have to go back to Cui's mansion later..." Guan Wen muttered, "The house is small enough and not enough to sleep, so I have to go back."

The Guan family cleared the dining table, and glared at Zhao Guangming, "You two don't know how to restrain yourself when you drink a little, so what if Ah Wen is drunk?"

"Let his wife serve him..." Zhao Guangming shook his head as a matter of course, and seemed a little dizzy, "Didn't Ah Wen marry a wife..."

Guan cursed bitterly, and asked the two Zhao Changhui brothers to carry Zhao Guangming back to the bedroom first, and helped Guan Wen to sit on the armchair beside him, "Awen, you should wake up by yourself first. Your daughter-in-law is here to cook you hangover soup, ah."

Guan Wen nodded unconsciously, and Guan Shi heaved a sigh of relief, and ran to the kitchen, saw Li Xin was busy cooking hangover soup, coughed and said, "Ah Wen seems to be drunk, so stay at home and sleep tonight."

"Thank you, aunt, but Ah Wen said that we have to go back today. Our things are still in Cui's house, and I told the manager of Cui's house that we have to stay for one night... and it's not convenient to stay at aunt's house..."

The Zhao family has only two bedrooms, one for Zhao Guangming and his wife, one for Zhao Changhui and Zhao Changsheng brothers, and there is really no other place to spare.

Guan frowned, "But Ah Wen is like this..."

"He usually doesn't drink, wait for him to sober up, and he will be sober after a while, it's fine."

Li Xin said with a smile, stirring the soup clockwise with a large spoon in his hand.Guan Shi sighed lowly, and got busy with the work in the kitchen.

Soon after Guan Wen drank the hangover soup, he really became a little clearer, and it was safe to see him walking two steps.Li Xin bid farewell to Mrs. Guan and said, "It's getting late, and it will be dark when we get back. Auntie, Ah Wen and I will leave first. Take care of yourself, uncle."

Guan Shi nodded in agreement, and Guan Wen continued: "Gu, when Xiao Si gets married, remember to come..."

Guan Shi hurriedly replied: "Come, definitely come."

Guan Wen chuckled twice, patted Zhao Changhui's shoulder with one hand, and held Zhao Changsheng's wrist with the other, "Take good care of your parents..."

"Understood, big cousin." Zhao Changsheng supported Guan Wen, and Guan said, "You give your big cousin a piece."

Zhao Changsheng hurriedly agreed, and walked out of the Zhao family with Guan Wen. Guan Wen also said to the Guan family: "Gu, don't send it away, go back quickly..."

Zhao Guangming was a little dizzy from drinking, so he lay down and fell asleep after returning to his room.

When Zhao Changsheng went back, only Li Xin supported Guan Wen.Guan Wen was big, with thick arms. He wrapped around Li Xin's neck and put it on her shoulders. He leaned his head sideways on Li Xin's neck. The steam from his mouth sprayed on Li Xin's neck, making her numb.

"I don't usually see you drinking, so why are you so greedy today?" Li Xin put one arm around his waist, and put the other on his hand on her shoulder, complaining repeatedly: "I know you are happy, no I thought you were an alcoholic if you knew!"

"I, I'm happy..." Guan Wen muttered, as if thinking of something happy, he moved his face closer, and kissed Li Xin on the cheek with a "baji", his bright eyes were foggy, and he let out a flattering cry :"young married woman……"

Li Xin thought it was funny, and patted his hand, regardless of his slightly coquettish appearance, and said in his mouth: "Don't do this next time, you drink like this when you know you have to rush back. I won't say anything at the dinner table. You are doing it to save face, so that your aunt and uncle's family don't think I'm in charge of you, but you can't be unscrupulous, drinking too much alcohol will hurt your health, so be more careful next time."

Guan Wen followed her footsteps, his steps were not chaotic, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, looking very happy, but he didn't reply to Li Xin's words.Li Xin didn't care either, and said to himself, "Have you heard that, don't allow it next time."

"heard it……"

Guan Wen answered her with a smile, and leaned closer to kiss Li Xin on the face with a "baji", louder, and raised his voice an octave, "My wife!" He looked quite complacent.

His demeanor looked like a child's. Li Xin didn't expect Guan Wen, who was drunk, to have such a side.Counting carefully, except for the fact that Guan Wen was half drunk on the wedding night, I have never seen him drink so heartily.This is enough to show the extraordinary significance of the Zhao family to Guan Wen.

Guan Wen lost his mother since he was a child, so he probably regards his aunt as a mother, right?
Thinking about the four members of Zhao's family, Zhao Guangming has a handicap, but it can be seen that he really loves Guan Wen.Guan needless to say.The two cousins ​​are also close to Guan Wen, and they call him "Big Cousin" very fluently.

Although Guan told her about pregnancy and offspring in private, Zhao Changhui interrupted her and did not continue, let alone tell Guan Wen about it.She made it clear that she didn't like Li Xin, but she didn't have any bad thoughts.Guan Wen said that his aunt was kind, and Li Xin felt that he was right. At least this aunt didn't seem like a person who talked behind her back.

Since you don't want to try to please Guan Shi, let everything take its course.It's impossible for everyone to like themselves, it's enough to be successful enough not to be hated and hated by others...

Li Xin paused and patted Guan Wen's head, "Awen, aunt doesn't like your wife, what should I do?"

Guan Wen shook his head, took Li Xin's hand and walked forward, mumbling in his mouth not knowing what to say.Li Xin got closer and heard him say: "My wife is good, my aunt will like it, Xin'er and my aunt are both good..."

Li Xin chuckled, and took Guan Wen's arm, "Hurry up and go back to rest! You can't let others see you like this."

As he said that, he quickened his pace. Guan Wen took big strides and could keep up with Li Xin. He shook his head from time to time, probably because the hangover soup continued to play a role.

After returning to Cui's mansion, Li Xin hurriedly fetched water to wipe his face and feet, drove him to sleep inside, cleaned up his hygiene a few times, put on obscene clothes and trousers, got under the bed, Guan Wen slammed He stretched out his arms to hug her waist, and naturally nestled his head into the hollow of her neck, snoring lightly, calling "Xin'er" from time to time.

Li Xin hugged his head in a funny way. A kerosene lamp was lit on the table in the middle of the room. Through the light, he could vaguely see Guan Wen's face. The centipede-like scar seriously affected Guan Wen's facial features.

But what does it matter?This man is her husband, and they will depend on each other for the rest of their lives. I am used to his appearance now. The important thing is that this man's heart is towards her.
