Chapter 457 Night Talk
Fifth uncle Yan Yonglou was overjoyed.
The wine he longed for.
Before the nephew and niece went to the capital, they left a few jars for him, but the old father-in-law usually took good care of the couple, so he had to be filial to this rare wine during the New Year.
Gentlemen from the same private school usually get together to have a drink. It was consumed very quickly, and there was not even a drop left here.
When Mrs. Qin saw him like this, she rolled her eyes and said, "Our fifth uncle is here today, allowing you to enjoy the honor of the fifth uncle. Lingqi, you can have a drink with your uncle and your little fifth master. Fusu, Hao'er, you and I are not allowed to drink. What kind of drink do you, a fourteen-year-old young man, want to drink?"
Fusu didn't care. Although the wine his brother brewed was considered the best in the world, he was not the kind of person who loved wine.
But Brother Monkey was a little confused. He also wanted to have a drink with the fifth master, fifth uncle, and second cousin.
But the fifth aunt refused to give him a drink, so Brother Monkey could only endure it with regret.
There are beautiful sisters and four strong women in the family. Brother Monkey knows very clearly that whenever the women in the family speak, they must be listened to, otherwise there will be constant trouble.
Seeing his regretful expression, Mrs. Qin laughed: "You are under sixteen years old. Drinking alcohol for young people is not good for your health."
Brother Monkey really wanted to say that he was in very good health, not to mention a few cups, just a few jars, it didn't matter.
Yet he decided to keep his mouth shut. .
The elders drank, and Lingqi accompanied them and held the pot. Brother Monkey could only turn his grief and anger into strength and eat the food with big mouthfuls. He thought to himself that when he got home and no one was around at night, he would drink to the moon alone.
With Mrs. Qin's supervision, the three of them didn't drink much, so the fifth aunt took away the wine jar. Dinner ended quickly.
After dinner, we drank tea under the moonlight and talked for a while. Seeing that the night was getting dark, Xiaowu Ye and Lingqi took their leave.
Mrs. Qin packed up the guest room for the three sisters to stay.
As for Fusu and Brother Hou, they had to squeeze in with Lingze.
After the children all went to bed, Mrs. Qin discussed with Yan Yonglou: "Our yard is a bit small after all. There are people at home, and there is not even a spacious place. Why not buy a bigger yard? At least we have to enter the yard. Bar?
When the children come home, they must have a place to live!
In the future, the next few nephews will grow up, and they will have to come to the county town to study. We are in the county town, and we can't let the nephews live outside, even if they live in the college. Then when they are sleeping, they have to be taken over by the family to take care of them, right?
Also, it would be hard for Lingze and Lingshu to stay crowded in the same room from now on. My parents are getting older, so they will have to come to the county to let them enjoy their happiness, right? "
Yan Yonglou drank some wine and was about to sleep. He was really afraid of Mrs. Qin's nagging, so he made the final decision: "Then buy it! But, do we have the money to buy a big house?"
Mrs. Qin snorted: "What do you think you care about all day long? Do you think my shop has been open for nothing in the past two years? Don't worry, the money you spent in the hospital for two years is still enough.
Even if you want to take a step further in the future, whether it is to be promoted or to be a Jinshi, I have already prepared the money to take the exam. Even the tuition fees for Lingze and Lingshu were earned by me. I still have to earn a decent marriage salary for my two children! "
Yan Yonglou had never cared about Qin's business affairs. Hearing this, he was very surprised: "Our family already has so much wealth? Madam manages the house like this, she is really a model of a good wife. With a wife like this, what else can a husband ask for?" ah."
As he spoke, he held Qin in his arms and kissed her.
The smell of wine almost made Mrs. Qin drunkenly, so she pushed him: "Look at the smell of wine, let me go quickly."
"If you don't let me go, I just like to sleep with my wife in my arms."
The two of them pushed and hugged, sparks flew, and the matter of buying a house was forgotten.
Of course Qin got up late the next day. When the couple came out of the room, Brother Monkey had already prepared breakfast. Lingyu was reading under the acacia tree, Qixun was practicing swordsmanship there, and Fusu was watching from the side.
Qin blushed, glared at Yan Yonglou, and asked Fusu with a smile: "Where are Hao'er and Ze'er?"
"Second brother is preparing breakfast in the kitchen. It should be ready by now. Brother Ze is still sleeping. Should I wake him up now?"
Mrs. Qin waved her hand: "Let him wake up. If he doesn't wake up, he will be late to go to school."
During breakfast, Mrs. Qin asked her brothers and sisters whether they would stay in the county for a few days or whether they would go home.
Fusu replied: "Third sister has to go to Rendetang to see Mr. Chen, and then she has to go to the county Zun's house. I guess she will have lunch at the county Zun's house at noon and return to the countryside in the afternoon. You and Fifth Uncle are just busy with you. of."
Mrs. Qin nodded: "If you have nothing to do when you go back to the countryside, why not stay in the county for two days?"
There are several children here, and the house is very lively.
The key is, with Hao'er here, the food is comparable to that of a big restaurant.
Mrs. Qin was still a little disappointed when she thought that after the children left, the family would be left in a cold state again.
Fusu smiled and said: "I will go to Beijing in August. I don't have much time to stay in the village. I have to prepare to build a library. I will come to see you and my fifth uncle in a few days."
Brother Monkey also said: "I left some ingredients in the warehouse and sealed them in boxes. As long as the boxes are not opened, they will not go bad. The names of the ingredients are written on the boxes. When you want to eat, just open the boxes."
Yan Yonglou kept winking at Brother Monkey.
Brother Monkey pretended not to understand and said bluntly: "Uncle Wu, what's wrong with your eyes? Why are you blinking at me all the time? If you have an eye disease, don't avoid medical treatment. Let Third Sister take a look at it."
Yan Yonglou:......
Yan Yonglou was so angry with this kid.
Seeing his wife looking at him with a sneer, he quickly said seriously: "I think my eyes are a little dry because I have been reading a lot lately. It's okay. Just blink a few times and it will be fine. There is no need to ask Su'er to read."
The three Qixun sisters lowered their heads to hold back their laughter.
Lingze shouted: "I said you have to combine work and rest when reading. Otherwise, what will happen if your eyes are broken? Dad, from now on, I will read for half an hour and then rest for half an hour. Otherwise, if the third sister is not at home, everything will be better." If my eye is broken, who can I ask to cure it?"
Mrs. Qin said angrily: "Eat your breakfast! Your father's eyesight is not evil, but his heart is evil!"
Yan Yonglou took advantage of Qin's lack of attention and nodded Brother Monkey: I'll deal with you later!
Brother Monkey hurriedly said: "In a few days, I will come and replace all the window screens in the house here with glass, so that Uncle Wu and Brother Ze will not be afraid of hurting their eyes while reading at home."
When Yan Yonglou returned to his hometown, he saw the rows of glass windows in Qixun's house, especially the large glass curtain wall in the study. I don't know how envious he was. He even dreamed of having a glass window in the study.
Spring and summer are fine, but late autumn and midwinter are fine. How bright would the house be if there were those glass windows? The key is, the sun is shining outside and the room is warm.
"Seriously? Where did you get all that glass? Didn't I just install it for your fifth master's new house?"
At Xiao Wuye's house, only two-fifths of the glass was used even for the glass greenhouse, and there was still a lot left. In the fifth uncle's house, there was no space to install a glass house. Only windows were installed, which was less than one-third of the usage of the fifth uncle's house.
Brother Monkey said: "Little Fifth Master's house uses less than half of the glass I have, and there is still more than half left. I can't use these glasses now, how about I keep them all for you?"
Little Fifth Master waved his hands hurriedly: "Why do we need so much glass? You can keep such precious things for yourself."
