The Book of Raising Children by Houmen

Chapter 249 It’s Okay to Have an Extra Drink (1)
It was only when Xu Si'an entered the door that he understood what Zhao Jing meant. Looking at the delicious dishes on the table, he thought that he had waited for more than an hour at the door of the imperial study, and thanks to the effect of the morning tea for digestion, this would The son is really hungry.

"Brother An, why are you here?" Mrs. Xu saw Xu Si'an also coming, she stood up happily from her chair, hurriedly went forward, took his hand and said, "Jing girl's brother and sister-in-law Leave me here for a light meal, you came just in time, we haven't even started yet! Let's sit down and eat together."

Zhao Jing looked at Mrs. Xu's enthusiastic appearance, she was no different from an ordinary old farm lady. She has been an old feudal monarch for these years, but in fact she still likes such a casual life in her bones, that's why she has been alienated like Zhang A well-behaved mother like her, on the contrary, prefers those old sisters like Mama Sun. In fact, she just wants to live a simple and happy life for herself.

Xu Si'an glanced at the dishes on the table, and then turned his head to look at Zhao Jing, thinking that I dared to sit down only if you asked me to sit down.Zhao Jing just kept her head down and didn't speak, but she still added another pair of bowls and chopsticks to the table.Xu Si'an smiled a little, and was thinking about whether to sit down by himself, but Zhao Jing had already said: "If Hou Ye doesn't dislike our family's simple food, then stay for a light meal. "

Xu Si'an really sat down, raised his head and said to Zhao Jing, "I don't mind this, Mr. Zhao should sit down too."

Although this kind of address made the two of them a little embarrassed, but before they got married, it seemed that they could only call them this way. Zhao Jing originally wanted to go back to her room to see Zhao Erhu, but now Xu Si'an has also come, and Zhao Yong is the only company. I'm sorry.Zhao Jing was about to get up, but Yuan Shi stood up first and said: "Since Lord Hou is here, we still have a jar of Huadiao wine at home, let your brother bring it here, and have a good drink with Lord Hou!"

Zhao Jing knew that Zhao Yong usually likes to drink a few sips of wine, and he would drink some during the holidays. Xu Si'an has been in the martial arts all year round, so he should have a certain amount of alcohol, so Zhao Jing smiled and said: "Sister-in-law, sit down, I know the wine Where, I will move here."

Yuan Shi hurriedly pulled Zhao Jing to sit down, wiped her hands on the apron and said, "Sit down, that jar weighs several kilograms, how can you move it, just go and call your brother here. "

Zhao Yong fried the last plate of fried bacon with green peppers in the kitchen. He untied his apron and brought it out. Then he saw Zhao Jing coming to welcome him and said, "Brother, go in quickly, Master Hou is here, you can have a drink with him." Zhao Jing said At the end, he suddenly remembered the wound on Xu Si'an's body, and said: "Master Hou has an injury on his body, brother just have a drink with him and he will be fine."

When Zhao Yong heard that Xu Si'an was coming, he stretched his neck and glanced into the living room, he was a little uncertain: "Then should I call him Lord Hou, or brother-in-law?"

Zhao Jing blushed when she heard this, and said with a smile: "Brother, look at what you said, it's not time to call brother-in-law yet!"

Seeing Zhao Jing's shy and timid look, Zhao Yong couldn't help laughing, patted her on the shoulder and said, "Hurry up and bring the dishes in, I'll come in after I wash my hands."

Zhao Jing brought the dishes in, and Yuan Shi also came over with the wine jar. Zhao Yong poured a bowl of wine for Xu Si'an, and said with a smile, "This is the first time for Master Hou to come to our house for dinner. It's a pity that our family is poor. , there are no delicacies from mountains and seas to entertain, I am good at these few dishes, try them.”

Xu Si'an stood up and touched bowls with Zhao Yong, and the two sat down again. The Huadiao wine was sweet and hot in the mouth, so Xu Si'an said, "Brother, you are welcome."

Yuan Shi brought the wine in, and went to the room to see Zhao Erhu, but Zhao Jing was the only one in the living room at this time, and she was too embarrassed to sit down and eat at the same table with Xu Si'an and Mrs. Xu, so she sat aside , took a small plate, and peeled the peanuts for the two of them.

Mrs. Xu really has a good mouth. While watching her son drinking, she smiled and said: "Your father also liked to drink with people when he was young. Those of his subordinates, he has never drank with them. Every time he comes back from a victory, There is always a period of time when he is not at home, what do you think he is doing? Going to drink from door to door!"

Xu Si'an drank a bowl of hot wine, and a thin layer of sweat broke out on his body. It has been almost ten years since the old master has been gone. In these ten years, the old lady seldom mentioned the old master in front of him. Maybe it was because she was afraid. Thinking of the pain of the old man, now that Mrs. Xu has mentioned the old Hou Ye with relief, Xu Si'an finally felt a little relieved.
