Of course, the wine glass was so small that it would not be satisfying without a sip. He even wanted to drink from the bottle, but there were only two bottles of wine and he could not monopolize one.
Zhou Ping's gratitude to Song Xi was genuine. He knew very well how his fortune in the second half of the year came about.
Without Song Xi, his life would not be too bad if he followed Zhou Yi, but it wouldn't be too good either.
Maybe he was slightly better off than other people in the village, but now he was living a better life than the people in the city. This was really something he couldn't even imagine.
Song Xi still had a lot to say, but she didn't say it anymore. They were no longer children, and she was not their mother, so there was no need to give them endless instructions.
Individuals have their own lives.
"I'm full, you can eat slowly!" Song Xi, who had eaten and drank enough, said to the people at the table, got up, took the bowls and chopsticks to the stove, and put them in the large iron plate with warm water.
In the pot, I went to digest it later.
Of course, it was already very late, and it was pitch dark outside. Except for the sounds of a few people eating and talking in the main room, the whole world was silent.
Naturally, Song Xi would not go out to eat. She went straight back to her room and sorted out her things while eating.
Although I don’t know if anyone will visit their house tomorrow, things should be ready.
Song Xi packed melon seeds, peanuts, walnut cakes, and fruit candies in cans and put them on the table in the room, so that she didn't have to spend time preparing them tomorrow.
Song Xi had just finished cleaning up, almost half an hour had passed, when he saw Zhou Yi walking in with a blushing face.
Song Xi was a little surprised, "You finished eating so quickly? I thought you were going to eat and watch the New Year's Eve at the same time!"
Zhou Yi doesn't drink often, so even the sugar can wine has some impact on him.
He walked to Song Xi with suspended steps, stretched out his arms to hug her, "Even if I have to keep the New Year's Eve, I'm keeping the New Year's Eve with my wife. What's there to keep with these grown men?"
After Zhou Yi finished speaking, he kissed Song Xi and said as if taking credit, "I asked them to wash the dishes and chopsticks, and the main room was tidy."
"Okay, let's go take a hot bath! I just got ready." Song Xi pulled Zhou Yi and appeared on the roof of the supermarket in a flash.
She had prepared bath water before. She originally wanted to take a bath by herself first, but she didn't expect Zhou Yi to finish the New Year's Eve dinner so quickly, so she had no choice but to join them together, so that she didn't have to go to the stove to boil hot water.
"On New Year's Eve, every household is reunited. Isn't it time for us to get together too?" Zhou Yi hugged Song Xi and smiled softly, his eyes so affectionate and doting that they could draw hair.
Song Xi glanced at him speechlessly, but she didn't refuse. Who would refuse a sweet married life?
After the reunion, Zhou Yi hugged Song Xi and lay on the bed in the flower room. The thin air conditioner was casually placed on the two of them. The exposed legs and arms looked a little lively.
Zhou Yi gently rubbed Song Xi's shoulder with his palm, and then told Song Xi about his family's affairs.
For example, there are actually three brothers in his family. The eldest brother is Zhou An, the second is Zhou Yi, and there is a twin brother named Zhou Jun.
When he and Zhou Jun were four years old, his mother insisted on being with her first love, abandoned her husband and son, and left with Zhou Jun.
Within two years, his mother sold Zhou Jun, which meant that Zhou Yi's younger brother was sold by his mother when he was between five and six years old.
Zhou Yi was only five to six years old at that time, and he was still a child. How could he know those things? By the time he found out, many years had passed and there was no way to investigate.
Zhou Yi also said that when he was more than ten years old, when business was still possible in China, he worked as a waiter in a teahouse in the city.
At a young age, I was working outside for a living. At that time, banknotes were being revised, and the exchange rate seemed to be 1:10,000, which meant that one dollar of something originally cost 10,000 at that time, but that period was very short.
Later, he returned to his hometown because Zhou Zhongguo suddenly fell ill, his eldest brother disappeared and there was no news, his third brother was sold, and he was the only child left in the family, so he had to come back.
After he came back, he farmed in the mountains and never went out again. Later, the world changed, so he had no choice but to stay in the mountains and farm.
Listening to Zhou Yi talking about his difficult experiences as a boy, Song Xi opened her eyes wide, curious and distressed, "Is it like what the lyrics say? I didn't practice cultivation in my previous life, I was born in Huizhou, and I threw it away when I was thirteen or fourteen years old."
?”
This folk song tells the story of the helplessness of Huizhou businessmen who were forced to go out to do business. When they were thirteen or fourteen years old, they would be forced to go out to work because of life. Isn't it the same for Zhou Yi?
"I was only eleven or twelve years old at that time." Zhou Yi's hand patted Song Xi's shoulder gently. He didn't know whether he was comforting her or himself, maybe both!
"But the Huizhou you mentioned, I actually experienced some places many years ago. The appearance of the fire-sealed wall with pink walls and black tiles is set among the green mountains and green waters. It is particularly beautiful, just like a natural ink painting. It will be more convenient to travel in the future.
Let’s go there and take a look.”
What Zhou Yi didn't expect was that in the next ten years or so, traveling would become even more difficult than it is now.
"Okay!" Although Song Xi knew that he would not be able to go to Huizhou until the 1980s, even though Song Xi and his classmates had been to Xidi Hongcun, Zhouzhuang, Jinxi and other beautiful ancient towns when they were in high school in modern times.
But this does not prevent her from making an agreement with Zhou Yi!
Maybe in the future, the couple can travel around the great rivers and mountains of the motherland together!
She had not yet lived to be thirty in modern times. She was busy studying and making money, and she later opened a supermarket and had little time to go out for fun, so she had not been to many scenic spots and historic sites in the country.
Although she is a bit of a homebody, she still really wants to travel, but she doesn't go out often enough.
What she still remembers most deeply is a trip to a coastal city to do a marine activity, and a trip to the northwest to see grottoes and ride camels in the desert.
After that, the two continued to chat, and Song Xi suddenly sat up excitedly, and the quilt on her body slipped down, revealing the beautiful spring scenery.
Seeing that Zhou Yi's eyes were straight, Song Xi hurriedly covered herself with the quilt and scolded, "Why are you so excited? Haven't you seen it?"
Two people are often together, why do they look like hungry wolves pouncing on food?
Zhou Yi hugged Song Xi across the quilt and refused to let go, "My wife is so beautiful and good, I can't get enough of her."
Song Xi rolled her eyes at him angrily, and then expressed her worries, "Brother Yi, if your mother comes back and she doesn't like me and doesn't agree with us being together, will you stand by me?"
"She passed away a few years ago. Even if she is still alive and well, she has no right to interfere in my marriage." There was no emotion in Zhou Yi's voice.
"Ah?" Song Xi exclaimed, and then said apologetically, "I'm sorry, I mentioned your sadness."
