Chapter 135
Zhong Ruyi didn't notice these things. She took the roasted venison handed over by her third brother, thanked him, and pulled Chen Dongzhi over. "Come quickly, my third brother has brought the venison over. You don't have to go get it again."
Chen Dongzhi secretly glanced at the stunned Zhong Laosan and a subtle smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
The two of them shared the venison from a plate. Zhong's mother couldn't stand it anymore and called them over to eat. What were they doing standing there?
Zhong Ruyi returned the venison her third brother had given her to him, "Third brother, give it to you. Let's go over there and eat."
She pulled Chen Dongzhi towards the table where the roasted venison was placed, leaving Zhong Laosan alone holding the plate and crying silently.
"Come on, come on!" The sister-in-law waved at Zhong Ruyi and pulled over two stools for them to sit on.
Mother Zhong waved her hand and asked Chen Dongzhi to sit next to her. He hesitated for a moment but still walked over and sat down.
Mother Zhong smiled and handed him a pancake. "Eat it quickly. It's filled with venison and sour beans. It tastes very good to me."
After Chen Dongzhi took it, he thanked him. He was sandwiched between Mr. and Mrs. Zhong. Sitting opposite him was the second son of the Zhong family. On his left sat the eldest son of the Zhong family and the eldest sister-in-law of the Zhong family. Zhong Ruyi's figure was almost blocked by the two of them.
Zhong's mother asked, "You've worked so hard, but why don't you sell the deer? It would be a shame to eat it yourself, and you gave us so much."
"The deer must have fallen into a trap and died last night. When I woke up this morning, it had bled almost dry. Plus, today is the first day of the new year, so there are no stores open in town."
"I simply slaughtered it and asked the villagers if they wanted any. I kept some at home, and I divided the ones I brought here."
Chen Dongzhi told the truth. If he had caught him alive like usual, he would have taken him to the town. But it didn't matter because he could catch him again later.
Mother Zhong scolded, "When you go back later, take some of this roasted food back with you. You took too much and we can't finish it."
Chen Dongzhi glanced at Zhong Ruyi who was concentrating on eating meat, and softened his voice, "You have a large family, and venison is very nutritious, so I took some more."
Li Guihua listened to their conversation with her ears pricked up, thinking that this was not just taking too much, but half of a deer was pulled over. He was so attentive even before they got married, and he would surely treat her well in the future.
At this moment, Tiedan suddenly burst into tears.
The eldest sister-in-law quickly put down the venison in her hand and asked, "What's wrong?"
Tiedan covered his face while crying, "My tooth hurts!"
I ate too much meat just now and all the gaps between my teeth were filled with meat.
"Old man, take him to drink a cup of salt water. Salt water can reduce inflammation. If this kid eats candy again in the future, he will be in pain."
The sister-in-law took Tiedan, who was in tears, to make salt water to drink.
Father Zhong poured wine into Chen Dongzhi's empty glass and said, "Come on, Dongzhi, have a drink with uncle!"
Chen Dongzhi raised the filled wine glass and drank it. The wine had been brewed for a long time and tasted spicy.
The two of them drank one cup after another, and it was not until Zhong's mother hid the jar of wine that they stopped.
Half a venison leg was too much to be finished, so Zhong's mother took out half and asked Chen Dongzhi to take it home.
Chen Dongzhi refused, "Aunt, I have more at home, no need to take it."
Mother Zhong forced it on him and said, "Here, how much is all this venison worth? You should take some back for your family. Your mother's cooking skills are notoriously bad in the village."
"I still have some here. If you want more, come over here!"
Chen Dongzhi pursed his lips and wanted to say something, but when he saw Zhong Ruyi winking at him, he accepted it.
His mother's cooking skills are indeed not that good, and the food she makes is not as delicious as his. Sometimes Xiaoman even begs him to cook, saying that his mother's cooking is not tasty.
Take this roasted venison back so Xiaoxue and the others can have a taste of it.
The alcohol had just taken effect, and Mr. Zhong was so drunk that he could not stand. Mrs. Zhong was so angry that she said, "You are not allowed to go to bed until you wash your feet!"
Zhong Ruyi looked at his flushed face and neck, and asked worriedly, "Brother Dongzhi, are you okay? I shouldn't have let you and my father drink so much."
Chen Dongzhi met her worried eyes, smiled gently, and reached out to touch her hair. "It's okay, you should go back to bed, it's getting late."
Zhong Ruyi insisted on sending him back, fearing that he would get into an accident on the road after drinking too much. Although the two families lived very close, she couldn't help but worry.
Zhong Laosan, who was standing by, couldn't bear to watch any more. "I'll take you there, I'll take you there! Go and have some rest, little sister. I'll be back soon."
As he spoke, he picked up the roe deer tied under the tree, opened the door and walked out first.
"Go back and ask your aunt to make you some sobering soup. After drinking it, you won't feel so uncomfortable when you wake up tomorrow." Zhong Ruyi reminded.
Xiang Xiang said, "Why don't you go back first and I'll cook it and ask my third brother to send some over. My father wants some anyway."
Chen Dongzhi felt his heart soften as he watched her chattering.
Zhong Laosan's impatient voice came from outside the door, "Are you still leaving?"
Zhong Ruyi answered him loudly, "I'll be there right away!"
"Brother Dongzhi, you go back first. I'm going to make some hangover soup now."
Chen Dongzhi shook his head. "No, you go and rest. I'll go back and sleep early too."
"That's fine, but you still have to ask your aunt to make you some hangover soup, otherwise you will feel uncomfortable when you wake up tomorrow morning."
"it is good."
Zhong Laosan, who was waiting outside the door, came in with an unhappy look on his face, "Why are you still dawdling? If you dawdle any longer, it will be dawn."
After the two men walked away, Zhong Ruyi left the courtyard door ajar and sat in a rocking chair waiting for her third brother to come back.
During this time, Mr. Zhong was drunk and talking loudly, which made Mrs. Zhong very annoyed.
Just then her third brother came back, and she asked, "Third brother, have you asked Aunt to make some hangover soup for Brother Dongzhi?"
Zhong Laosan nodded obediently and sent the baby back. Aunt Chen happened to come out and look around, so he told her about it.
Zhong Ruyi felt relieved and went to the kitchen to make sobering soup for her father.
When she went in with the bowl of warm hangover soup, her father was still talking nonsense.
Either "Come on, come on, pull out the weeds on this field first" or "Okay! Another drink!"
Her mother was so angry that she twisted his ears, but her father didn't feel any pain and kept laughing happily.
"Mom, give this soup to Dad so he won't feel too bad when he wakes up tomorrow."
When Mr. Zhong, who was talking nonsense with his eyes closed, heard this, he opened his eyes with difficulty and got up, "My daughter is really filial! She always thinks of me, her father, for anything delicious! My son is a waste of money, a waste of money!"
"That's enough! Drink your soup and go to sleep. If you keep making trouble, you can sleep outside tonight."
Sure enough, even though Mr. Zhong was drunk, he didn't dare to make a fuss after hearing this. He drank the soup obediently and fell asleep.
Zhong Ruyi wanted to take the empty bowl, but her mother waved her hand and refused, "Go to bed quickly, your father and I are here, it's getting late, go and get some rest!"
She said with a distressed look on her face, "My daughter has worked so hard tonight. Your heartless brothers didn't even come to see her, let alone bring her soup. My daughter is the best!"
Zhong Ruyi didn't know if it was because she was praised too much or what, but the words said to her mother were no longer as embarrassing as she had heard them at first, and she accepted them calmly.
After her daughter walked away, Zhong's mother was still muttering, "If I had known earlier, I would not have given birth to so many sons. I should have given birth to just one daughter. Sons are always a worry!"
Mr. Zhong, who had already fallen asleep, smacked his lips, turned over and continued to sleep.
