The two returned to the courtyard in the evening, bringing a roast chicken and some vegetables.
When we entered the yard, the second grandfather was standing under the persimmon tree, teasing the myna, and seemed to be humming something.
"Second Grandpa, I bought roast chicken, and I'll drink two cups with you tonight."
"Hey, my eldest grandson will feel sorry for me. If I have two cups, I will have two cups!" The second grandfather stood there with his hands behind his back and laughed twice.
"I'm going to stir-fry two dishes. You talk to Grandpa Second for a while." Feng Yanhong took the initiative to take what he was holding and turned around and entered the kitchen.
The father and son were spreading out the roasted chicken on the table in the courtyard and already filled the wine glasses.
The second grandfather sniffed the roast chicken and nodded: "It still smells the same after decades. It's not easy."
"You are a good wife, with a good temper! Get married as soon as possible. There are not many good girls these days."
"I'll have a wedding when I get back after my winter vacation." Li Boshan smiled a little awkwardly and couldn't help but glance at the kitchen.
"Tsk~ What do you want me to say that you should have gotten married before coming here? Don't you have enough money?"
"No, this is not a new rule. I have to be over twenty-two before I can get a marriage certificate."
Li Boshan was embarrassed to say that he didn't have enough money, he only said that he was not old enough.
"Oh, yes, times are different now."
"The food is ready! Second Grandpa, you eat first, and I'll make some soup. It'll be ready soon."
Feng Yanhong brought a plate of fried cucumbers and a plate of fried chicken with tomatoes to the table. The two of them had not touched the roasted chicken and wine.
"Don't worry, we are waiting for you. We can't let the person who works hardest eat the leftovers. Our family hasn't had this rule since ancient times."
The second grandfather still had a kind face and waved cheerfully to her to go back quickly.
"Okay, come right away."
"You are luckier than your father. You have such a diligent and agile daughter-in-law. I can't even pick out two or three in this alley."
"If you have this temper with a couple again, it will be even worse. It's rare for a person to be decent-looking, so you should cherish your blessing and treat others well."
"Second Grandpa said, hehe..." Li Boshan giggled and looked back.
After having enough wine and food, it was already dark, and the lights were on in the yard, which was a bit dim.
Both of them felt dizzy and went back to their houses at night. Li Boshan returned to the house and hugged Feng Yanhong. His cheeks were red and his eyes were blurred, locking Feng Yanhong tightly in his arms.
"young married woman......"
"Are you drunk? Go back to your room and I'll get you some water to wipe your face."
His quantity was really not that great. It was only half a bottle of Erguotou, and it was divided between him and Grandpa Er.
In total, he probably didn't even have four ounces of wine, and his cheeks were already red just now at the table.
When I drank at her house before, I only had two drinks at most, and I couldn't tell how much I drank. This time I felt the bottom.
"young married woman......"
"..."
Confirm again and again.
I was really drunk. Apart from calling me my wife, I just laughed silly.
Feng Yanhong coaxed him and pushed him back to his room. The guy fell on the bed and closed his eyes.
good!
The wine is not bad!
Feng Yanhong took a deep breath and took a basin to get water outside the house. As soon as she went out, she saw her second grandfather holding a small flashlight that was not very bright, hunched over in the corner of the main room, wondering what he was doing.
.
"Second Grandpa?"
"Huh? Shh!"
Seeing this situation, Feng Yanhong was ready to go back to the house. After all, she was at someone else's home, and it was not her place as a daughter-in-law who had not yet entered the house to interfere with her family's affairs.
Feng Yanhong went back to the room and waited for a while. She leaned against the window and saw no more light, then took the basin and went out again.
The lights in the main room had been extinguished, the grasshoppers in the room had made no sound, and the courtyard was extremely quiet. Feng Yanhong carefully carried the water to the bathroom to take a shower, and then brought half a basin of water back to Li Boshan.
Wiped his face.
The clothes on my body...
After thinking about it, she still didn't take it off. After pouring the water, she went back to the house to sleep. The room she slept in should be considered the master bedroom, with a large bed, a bookshelf and a writing desk.
There are three small beds in Li Boshan's room, which should be the room for the three brothers.
She has to catch the train back at noon tomorrow and needs a good rest today.
****
Early the next morning, when Feng Yanhong got up, both of them were already in high spirits. Li Boshan seemed to have taken a bath, and his hair was obviously moist.
After breakfast, the second grandfather rarely looked serious.
"You two come in with me."
It was the first time that Feng Yanhong saw her second grandfather looking so serious, and she really couldn't figure out what happened.
Is it because of what happened last night?
But didn't she come closer?
"What are you thinking about? It's okay." Seeing her in a daze, Li Boshan stepped forward and hugged her shoulders, giving her a comforting smile.
The second grandfather sat on the upper seat in the main room, while Li Boshan and Feng Yanhong stood on one side, side by side.
"Although your second grandfather doesn't have anything decent in his hands now, there are still quite a few gifts for him."
As he spoke, he took out a fist-sized brocade bag from his pocket and handed it to Feng Yanhong.
Feng Yanhong had a lot on her mind and didn't know what to do. This scene was really stressful.
How to say thank you?
Would you like to offer tea?
Or what to say?
Surely kowtow won’t do that, right?
"You have to accept the greeting, just say thank you." Li Boshan whispered in her ear.
"Thank you, thank you Grandpa Second."
Feng Yanhong stepped forward to take the brocade bag, and felt her hands sink instantly. This thing was square and small, but it still had some weight.
"Yes." Grandpa nodded nonchalantly and saw that Feng Yanhong was still holding the brocade bag with both hands.
"Go back and find a craftsman to make it into jewelry and keep it as a family heirloom."
ah?
Can it be passed down from family to family? What must it be?
"You're not officially married yet, so it's not appropriate to keep you here. After your wedding is over next year, you're welcome to stay here permanently."
The two returned to the side room, and Feng Yanhong slowly opened the brocade bag, revealing a touch of gold.
"Brother Boshan, this thing is too valuable, I can't accept it!"
It's actually a gold bar with plum blossom marks on both ends!
A whole gold bar, how many grams does it cost?
How could anyone give such an expensive thing as a face-to-face gift?
"Is there anything I can't accept? The meeting gift cannot be returned. Let me see."
Li Boshan's expression was unchanged, as if he thought it was possible that his second grandfather would give away something valuable, and he wasn't surprised at all.
"Ha~ Grandpa Second said he prepared a gold bar for each of the three of us brothers, and it turned out to be true!"
Li Boshan looked at the gold bars carefully and said angrily: "If I had known this, I shouldn't have stopped him from taking us to eat Quanjude."
