Chapter 727 Joy
When Liu Jingxue said they wanted to celebrate, Mr. Wu was the first to respond, "Yes, we have to celebrate.
Xiulan, you have already prepared the ingredients. Even though it’s a little late, let’s not put it off until tomorrow. Let’s get together and make a good meal to celebrate.
Call Mingxuan and Junhao over, let’s have some fun together.”
Mr. Zou also nodded in agreement, "I don't have to go to work tomorrow anyway, so I can just sit at home and do nothing, so it doesn't matter if it's later.
It’s rare that everyone is happy.”
Wang Xiulan had no objection, "Okay, then I'll prepare something good tonight.
But you have to help me, I can't do it alone.
Xiaoxue and Jianjun are fine, they have been on the train for a few days, let them have a good rest. "
"Mom, I can help too.
I had a good rest on the train and now I feel very energetic and not tired at all.
My younger sister, however, came from Beijing but couldn’t buy a sleeper ticket, and her seat was given to someone else. She stood for so long and didn’t get much sleep, so let her have a good rest.”
Seeing that Liu Jianjun was indeed in good spirits, Wang Xiulan wanted to spend more time with her son after finally meeting him, so she did not refuse.
"Okay, you come and help too, let Xiaoxue rest."
Seeing that his wife was in a good mood, Liu Weihua took the opportunity to seek benefits for himself.
"Xiu Lan, I'm happy today, can we have a drink?
We haven't had a drink for a while because of Jianjun's incident."
Wang Xiulan was happy today and did not control them anymore. She waved her hand and
“Okay, there isn’t much ginseng wine left anyway, so I’ll give it all to you guys today.
This year's wine is not ready yet, and we have to soak the ginseng for another month. In the next month or so, you won't be able to drink ginseng wine even if you are craving it."
When Liu Jingxue heard this, she quickly said, "Don't worry about that. I left 20 kilograms for my second brother and will deliver it tomorrow.
20 kilograms of ginseng wine should be enough for me to drink for a while.
As for the second brother, wait until the new wine is ready before bringing it to the troops. You can drink these 20 kilograms first."
Hearing that there were 20 kilograms of ginseng wine, Mr. Zou said happily, "That's great, then we won't go home until we're drunk tonight."
When Wang Xiulan heard this, she quickly said, "Just drink to your heart's content, don't get drunk.
Besides, Jianjun is injured, so don’t let him drink.”
"We all drank, and he just watched, how could he bear it?
Besides, soldiers will drink alcohol every day even if they don’t have any injuries on their bodies.
You just saw the injuries on his body. They're nothing serious.
This is ginseng wine, it is good for him, just let him drink less." Liu Weihua advised.
Wang Xiulan thought about it and decided that it really wouldn’t be a big deal to drink less ginseng wine. She was in a good mood today, so she didn’t want to spoil the fun.
"Okay, as you say. Let him drink less."
"Everyone stop standing here and go cook together.
Xiaoxue, stop working and go to the kang to have a rest."
As they were about to walk into the house, there was a knock on the door.
"I guess Mingxuan and Junhao are here," said Mr. Zou.
As he said this, he was about to open the door, but Liu Jingxue got there first.
When I opened the door, I saw Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao standing outside, each carrying a backpack.
“Come in quickly.
What are you carrying?" Liu Jingxue asked.
Zhou Mingxuan did not answer but asked, "You haven't eaten yet, right?"
"No, I was just talking and didn't have time to cook. I'm just about to go make it."
Zhao Junhao said, "Then you don't have to do it, we have prepared the meal.
We guessed that you probably had a lot to talk about and had no time to cook, so we simply prepared the meal and sent it to you."
"We don't have Aunt Liu's cooking skills, and with this weather, the food would have been cold by the time it was ready, so we just made hot pot.
The side dishes for the hot pot are already prepared, so we can start eating right away." Zhou Mingxuan explained.
When Mr. Zou heard this, he said happily, “Hot pot is good, we don’t need to heat up the food in the middle.
Hotpot goes well with wine, the more you drink, the better.
You two guys are really thoughtful."
Old Wu was very happy that his grandson made him proud, "You two are quite sensible.
Come have a few drinks with us today."
He looked at Liu Jianjun and said, "Jianjun, you should know Mingxuan and Junhao, so I won't introduce them to you.
Just treat them as your own brothers, and don’t be polite to them when you live with them.”
"Yes, Brother Liu, we are your younger brothers, so please don't be polite to us.
Aunt Liu has made you a brand new set of bedding, which is already at our place. You can go directly over there in the evening."
Liu Weihua and Wang Xiulan had already explained the situation of Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao to Liu Jianjun when they were in the house, so they did not hesitate any longer.
"I'll trouble you two brothers from now on."
Today's dinner didn't end until almost nine o'clock in the evening, which took more than three hours.
Except Liu Jingxue, everyone else drank.
By the end of the drinking, Mr. Zou, Mr. Wu, and Liu Weihua were all a little drunk.
Liu Weihua was simply happy because his son had survived and that they were reunited.
Old Wu is happy because he has his grandson by his side, has good wine and food, and lives a comfortable life.
As for Mr. Zou, Liu Jingxue speculated that he was probably moved by the scene and was drinking to drown his sorrows.
Seeing that Liu Weihua and his family were reunited while his son’s family was still suffering in the labor camp.
Although there are people taking care of me secretly, life is still hard and I can't help but feel worried.
It's just that he couldn't say these words out loud in the presence of other people's families reuniting today. He could only keep it in his heart and numb himself with alcohol.
If you drink this wine alone, you will get drunk.
Fortunately, these three people can drink quite well. When they are drunk, they just fall asleep and don't make any trouble.
Liu Jingxue didn't drink, and Liu Jianjun didn't dare drink more because he was injured.
As for Zhou Mingxuan and Zhao Junhao, they were still young, and their elders were afraid of overdosing on the ginseng wine, so they didn't dare let them drink too much, so they stayed sober.
After the last four juniors helped to clean up the mess, they prepared to go back and rest.
"Mom, can you take care of three drunks by yourself?
How about I stay here tonight and help you take care of them?" Liu Jianjun suggested, feeling a little worried.
"Don't worry, I can do it on my own.
It’s not like the three of them had been drunk before, so they just slept until noon and skipped breakfast.
Don't worry, go back and have a good rest.
How about you come over to have breakfast with us tomorrow?"
Liu Jingxue quickly shook her head, "Aunt, I won't come over.
I'm going to sleep in tomorrow and I don't want to get up for breakfast."
"Aunt Liu, we won't come over, we can just eat at home.
Anyway, grandpa and the others can't get up, so you should go to bed later. I guess you haven't had a good rest during this period."
Liu Jianjun said, "Mom, I won't come over tomorrow morning, so you should sleep a little longer.
I will come to have lunch with you tomorrow at noon and we can have a good chat. "
When Wang Xiulan heard this, she thought this was a feasible approach.
"Then why don't you all come here for lunch tomorrow at noon?"
Liu Jingxue shook her head, "Forget about it at noon. I just got back, and I think Zhang Yingchun and Xia Lan will come to talk to me.
I also have to prepare a thank-you gift and go to the captain's house, which will take up some time.
In the evening, I will come over for dinner. "
"We have to go to town tomorrow during the day and come back for dinner in the evening.
We have to return the bicycle that Xiaoxue rode back today tomorrow.
We need to get some more salt and spices." Zhou Mingxuan said.
When Wang Xiulan heard that they all had important matters to attend to, she no longer insisted.
“That’s fine.
I think you should stop cooking at home and come to our place to eat. It will be more lively with more people."
The three of them looked at each other and nodded in agreement.
"Aunt, I'll get some flour the day after tomorrow, and you can help me make some more buns. I'll have them for breakfast later.
It’s too cold in the morning and I don’t want to get up early to make breakfast.”
Liu Jingxue is not very good at making pasta, so she used to ask Wang Xiulan to help her make buns and dumplings.
Wang Xiulan readily agreed, "Okay, I'll make you some more buns and dumplings.
Anyway, the weather is getting colder day by day, so I can keep it here."
