Chapter 183 Era: Is Brother Jiahe a water buffalo?
Chapter 183 Era: Is Brother Jiahe a water buffalo?
Wang Shuo originally wanted to take Yingying home, but his mother said that they should not stay there when other people are cooking and should go home early.
Just as they were about to leave, Chen Jiahe stopped them and prepared a meal for both brother and sister.
The homemade corn wine was mellow and strong, and Wang Ziheng poured a cup for each person.
Chen Jiahe had hardly ever touched alcohol. He took a sip and a spicy taste entered his throat, followed by a hint of sweetness.
"Dad, does it taste good?"
Yuanyuan raised her little head to look at the wine cup in his hand and wanted to take a sip.
"You can't drink..."
Chen Jiahe held the wine cup a little further away. He couldn't tell whether it tasted good or not, but he just felt that it tasted weird.
"The teacher said that drinking alcohol will make kids stupid."
Wang Shuo picked up a piece of tofu and put it in her bowl. The little girl must not develop the bad habit of drinking.
"..."
Yuanyuan buried her head in the food in the bowl, clenched the chopsticks in her hand, and while her father wasn't paying attention, she quickly dipped the food into his wine cup.
"hiss--"
The taste of corn wine is not good at all. The little bit on the chopsticks is spicy enough to make the little guy stick out his tongue when he puts it in his mouth.
"I told you not to drink, but you refused to listen."
Chen Jiahe's tone of voice was blaming but there was no hint of anger towards her. He served her a bowl of rice soup from the steamed rice for her to rinse her mouth.
White rice soup with a little sugar tastes good too.
"I won't drink it next time."
Yuanyuan is very curious and wants to know whether it tastes good or not only by trying it herself.
"..."
Chen Jiahe only half believed what her child said. Next time she came across something she had never tasted before, she would still try it secretly.
For a person like him who cannot drink much, corn wine made him feel dizzy after just one or two glasses.
"Jiahe, if you can't drink, drink less."
Wang Mazi and Wang Ziheng were both able to drink, and they remained sober after drinking almost two liang of liquor.
"Jiahe, you should study hard. When there is a chance in the future, I will introduce you to work in the city. It has more prospects than farming."
Wang Ziheng lay on the table with one hand supporting his forehead. He was not drunk, but had a headache because he drank too much.
Everything is still developing now. There are more opportunities in big cities. If you can seize them, you will definitely make a lot of money in the future.
"I'm not married yet, so my parents don't agree to let me go to the city."
Wang Mazi felt sad when he talked about this. Chunhong remarried and moved to the next village, and his pink dream was shattered again.
"Start a family and build a career. If you can't start a family, build a career first. When you have the ability, it won't be others who choose you, but you who choose others."
Wang Ziheng patted his shoulder and said earnestly, no one outside cares whether you are married or not, everyone is busy making money.
Halfway through drinking, Chen Jiahe leaned back in his chair without moving, his eyes half closed and his cheeks flushed.
"Dad, drink some rice soup."
Yuanyuan saw that her father looked unhappy, so she held the small bowl to him.
Drinking too much corn wine will cause heartburn and stomach burning, but you will feel much better after drinking warm rice soup.
The child saw that he felt much better after drinking, so he took a small bowl into the kitchen and scooped some rice soup for him to drink.
The bowl of rice soup was placed on the stove, and she couldn't reach it. Wang Shuo saw this and helped her get another bowl.
"Dad, you won't feel uncomfortable if you drink more."
"I'm much better now..."
After Chen Jiahe drank two bowls of rice soup in a row, he had the third bowl.
The two people next to him were also drunk, leaning back in their chairs with their eyes squinting, half drunk and half awake.
"Dad, drink another bowl."
There is a kind of goodness in the world that children feel is good.
Yuanyuan saw that her father became more and more sober after drinking the rice soup, and she was sure that drinking it must be helpful.
"..."
Chen Jiahe was indeed becoming more and more sober. He had to sober up because he was drunk.
Seeing the child holding the rice soup with concern on his face, he couldn't bear to refuse the child's filial piety, so he picked up the bowl and drank it down in one gulp.
"Dad, I'll get you another bowl."
Yuanyuan took the empty bowl, stood up and ran to the kitchen, leaving her father staring at her with wide eyes behind her.
The adults were all drunk, and Wang Shuo helped to put all the dishes into the kitchen.
Seeing her come in to get her fourth bowl of rice soup, I couldn't help but ask, "Still drinking?"
"Dad won't get drunk if he drinks this."
When children get angry, they have no control over themselves. If they think something is good, they want to give it all to their father.
"Brother Jiahe, is he... is he... is he... a water buffalo?"
Wang Shuo held the empty bowl with a dazed expression. He drank so much wine and ate so many dishes, and he could even drink three bowls of rice soup. How big was his appetite?
"My dad is not a cow. I think he should drink more."
Yuanyuan thinks that his father looks different from a cow. A cow has big eyes and two horns.
"You can't drink anymore. It will upset your stomach."
Wang Shuo put the bowl into the pot and gently pushed her back to let her go out and play.
As soon as I walked to the kitchen door, I saw my father, who was sitting on a chair, stand up, holding his stomach, and awkwardly push open the door and run outside to vomit.
He spat out all the rice soup he had drunk. The cold wind blew away Chen Jiahe's drunkenness and his brain became clear.
Sure enough, drinking more rice soup can sober you up...
"dad…"
When Yuanyuan heard her father vomiting, she quickly ran out and looked at him nervously.
"I'm fine, no need to drink..."
Chen Jiahe said this before he even turned his head. He really couldn't drink a single sip.
"Dad, are you feeling bad?"
Yuanyuan ran over and patted him on the back, tilting her head and looking at him with clear eyes.
I don’t know why, but I feel like my father is afraid of me.
“Much better…”
The child's hands were very small and felt weightless when they were patted on his body, but Chen Jiahe felt particularly warm. He could feel the child's care and concern.
Even though this concern may feel heavy at times, he still feels very happy, and he no longer wants to live alone.
"Dad, did you drink too much rice soup?"
Yuanyuan realized later that her father was probably vomiting due to overeating.
"No, if you drink too much, you will feel like vomiting."
Chen Jiahe felt much better in the cool breeze. He squatted on the ground and looked at the white mountains in the distance. He could even see a bit of green under the snow.
He rarely felt that the scenery in the mountains seemed quite good and felt the artistic conception that Wang Mazi had described.
Moo——
The cow in the side shed let out a low cry, and the iron bell on its neck made a crisp sound as it moved.
"Dad, the cow seems hungry."
Yuanyuan looked at the tightly closed door of the side shed. The cows ate bundles of hay in the winter, and she was too small to hold them.
"I gonna go see…"
Chen Jiahe carried a bundle of dry straw in, and when he opened the door, the smell of cow dung made him feel like vomiting again.
The old ox's belly is round and bulging, and there is a milky white spot on its nose. It has been completely transformed compared to a few months ago.
The snow lasted for five days. After the snow stopped, the air became even colder. Icicles hung under the eaves, dripping water under the sunlight and ready to break and fall to the ground at any time.
Such ice spikes are also attractive to children, who can pick them up intact and hold them in their hands to use them as long swords.
