Chapter 227 Helping to Play Cards
At the dinner table, Linzhou sat there, behaving extremely calmly, even when eating he only picked up the dishes in front of him.
Jiang Xiyue, who noticed this, had no choice but to help pick up the dishes. After all, for her, going to her grandpa's and grandfather's houses was more unrestrained .
When I was a kid, whenever I got beaten up, I would call my grandparents.
People usually say that it’s better to come sooner, otherwise the granddaughter will be gone…
She was not wearing shoes and stepped on the cat with her bare feet. Although the dog was playing outside all day, it still looked quite clean.
However, at the dinner table in Shenzhou, people would talk about everyday things whenever they drank.
After Linzhou and his grandfather drank two cups, his grandfather pulled a chair over and sat down. "Xiao Lin, your grandfather didn't give you anything for your engagement. There is some wine that I made. I will give you some tomorrow. It's good for boys to drink it. "
Following the direction of his grandfather's finger, Linzhou looked at the large glass jar placed in the shade.
After carefully identifying the medicinal materials inside, Linzhou nodded and said, "Okay, but not too much. The young man might get angry if he drinks too much."
"It's okay. Just spend two cents on each meal. I guarantee you'll be happily married." The old man patted Linzhou's shoulder and reached out to take a piece of mutton that had been stewed until it was soft. "Your grandma stewed it. Try it. I saw you only eating vegetable leaves these days."
While eating mutton, due to the effect of alcohol, Linzhou was no longer as shy as before and spoke boldly.
"Thank you, Grandpa. It's really delicious. It smells so good."
Jiang Xiyue, who had been sitting next to them, just watched the two people quietly, holding the corn in her hand and chewing it like a hamster.
She really didn't understand what the encrypted conversation was about, what alcohol was about, and how it was good for the body.
Can drinking alcohol still be good for your health?
But she couldn't persuade him, because this was the old man's wish. As long as it was not poisonous, she had to drink it even if she pinched her nose.
The grandmother next to her, that is, the grandma, stood up, took out a red three-piece suit from the cabinet, and opened it to show Jiang Xiyue.
"Yueyue, what do you think of this set for your wedding?"
"It's good and festive." Jiang Xiyue hadn't finished eating the corn yet, so she quickly swallowed what was in her mouth and replied with six words.
Seeing that Jiang Xiyue liked it, the old man smiled and wrinkled his face. He packed it directly into a plastic bag and said, "It's good that you like it. Take it with you when you go home tomorrow. You don't have to take it out then."
"Okay, you decide." The girl nodded, ate the last part of the corn, patted her belly with satisfaction, and stood up and leaned on the sofa.
Lunch was over soon. Linzhou stood up to help clear the table. When he wanted to wash the dishes, he was chased out. The two old people told him not to dirty his clothes.
Seeing Linzhou also sitting on the sofa, Jiang Xiyue smiled and reached out to take the glass of water.
"Stupid Zhou Zhou, if you drink too much, you should drink more water."
"Hmm." There was tea in the cup, the kind of bang bang tea from a long time ago, with only tea stems, boiled in an iron kettle, and it tasted very full.
There is actually not much to do when you go to an elderly person's home, although you can help with the housework.
But the old people with rich life experience can't stand it when you raise your hand, and then use the reason that they despise you for being clumsy to let you feel at ease and be a waste.
So, the two young people leaned back on the sofa peacefully, playing with their cell phones and drinking tea.
This peaceful life lasted until three o'clock in the afternoon, when the surrounding neighbors, all of whom were elderly people, crowded into the house.
Two tables were set up in the yard, mahjong was put on the table, and normal entertainment activities began.
I don’t play big cards. I may only spend a few dozen dollars in an entire afternoon. To put it bluntly, I just play for fun.
Nowadays, most people don’t mind spending a few dozen dollars.
The two young men were watching the group of people in the room, and Jiang Xiyue whispered about her childhood.
"My parents were very busy when I was a kid, so I often stayed at my grandparents' house. At that time, I loved watching them play cards because after the game, everyone would give me money to buy ice cream."
"Ice cream, I want to eat it too." Linzhou said with a sigh.
But just after he finished speaking, he was kicked by Jiang Xiyue, followed by a complaining voice.
"We're not at home, how can you say such things? Next time I'll just stuff it in your mouth and let you see if it stinks."
★·❤·□·❤·☆
Hearing Jiang Xiyue's words, Lin Zhou immediately knew that the little girl had misunderstood, and tapped her on the head, "Stupid, I'm talking about real ice cream, not your ice cream."
"Then let's go buy it." Jiang Xiyue covered her head and laughed. Although she was beaten, she could only smile foolishly because she had the wrong idea.
But as soon as the two of them walked out of the house, the grandfather who was sitting there playing cards turned around.
"Xiao Lin, can you help me? I'm going to buy a pack of cigarettes."
"I know a little." Linzhou answered casually, and then he was pressed into position, accepting the gazes of everyone.
While Linzhou was in a daze, Jiang Xiyue had already run out with his grandfather.
The people in the yard watched Jiang Xiyue grow up, and they also understood that Lin Zhou, who was dragged to play cards with them, was the future son-in-law. After looking at him carefully several times, they started asking questions.
"You're a handsome guy, what are you doing?"
The old man who asked this question was the oldest in the group. He also printed out a whiteboard while asking the question.
"Bang, go to school, and go to the same university as Yueyue." Linzhou also answered.
………
When Jiang Xiyue came back with the ice cream, Linzhou had already won once and tied twice.
After waiting for a long time for the savior to come back, he quickly took Jiang Xiyue and ran away.
Coming to the bedroom prepared for the two of them, Linzhou looked at the large double quilt on the bed, then looked at Jiang Xiyue beside him, and sighed helplessly.
"You don't intend to leave me any innocence at all."
"Why keep anything? We are already engaged. To put it bluntly, we are a family. What problem can there be?" Jiang Xiyue sat there, complained, and then started licking the ice cream.
Of course, I also put the pillow next to it. After seeing what was under the pillow, I put it into my bag as usual.
Linzhou also saw it, but didn't say anything.
This thing my family gave me is enough for my honeymoon after marriage...
Jiang Xiyue also opened the drawer next to her, pulled out a stack of yellowed papers, and placed it on the table.
"Stupid, let me show you my masterpiece, which I drew when I was in kindergarten."
Looking at the children's graffiti above, Linzhou carefully took out his mobile phone and started taking pictures, and then uploaded them to the server at home.
Childhood graffiti is always full of imagination. Lin Zhou looked at the last one with a smile on his face, "Yueyue, this is a picture of marriage, right? Do I fit your childhood fantasy now?"
Hearing Linzhou's question, Jiang Xiyue put his hands on the yellowed paper and thought for a long time before giving an answer.
“It’s much better than I thought when I was a kid.”
