Mrs. Ye quickly brought her a glass of water and said, "Rinse your mouth, don't swallow it."
Ye Ersao took a sip of water in her mouth, then ran out to rinse her mouth with tears in her eyes.
After a while, Ye Ersao came back and said, "Oh my god, no wonder the eldest sister-in-law didn't serve us this spicy rabbit meat, it turns out that we can't eat it at all.
"I just tasted a piece and it hurts like I was hit in the mouth."
After being frightened by Ye Ersao, the children who were originally eager to try it all became obedient.
Qingtian asked in confusion, "Mom, why do you still want to eat when Second Uncle and the others are crying because of the spiciness?"
Mrs. Ye smiled and said, "Some people become addicted to spicy food the more they eat it, and they can't stop."
Several children showed expressions of disbelief on their faces. Ye Changnian even reached out and pushed the spicy bowl of rabbit meat away, for fear that the spicy taste would be mixed into the braised rabbit meat.
"Mom, cousin, do you want to try it?" asked Mrs. Ye.
Old Mrs. Ye and Ye Juaner waved their hands at the same time.
"I'd better forget it. I can't eat anything spicy at all."
“Forget it, I used to like spicy food.
“But now that I’m older, my mouth can handle it, but my stomach can’t. I get stomachaches easily after eating it.
"Take this back to them quickly, and tell your uncle to take it easy. If he eats too much and gets a stomachache, I won't take care of him."
Mrs. Ye took the bowl of spicy rabbit meat back to the east room.
But of course she couldn't just repeat what Ye Juan'er said, so she just said, "Uncle, my aunt told you to take it easy and eat less spicy food, otherwise you'll have a stomachache when you go back."
"Okay, I, I understand." Liu Quan's speech was a little slurred, and it was not known whether it was because of the spiciness or the alcohol.
Seeing him like this, Mrs. Ye knew that it was useless to talk to him, so she said to Ye Lao Er and Ye Lao San, "You two should take care of your uncle. That's enough. Don't drink too much."
The two brothers seemed to be still very sober at this moment, and they kept agreeing to Mrs. Ye's instructions.
There was no drinking in the west room, so everyone was full quickly.
Old Mrs. Ye and Ye Juaner were sitting on the kang in the west room chatting.
The three sisters-in-law took the children to take a nap first, and then came back to clean the table.
Second and third wives of Ye took over all the work and refused to let eldest wife of Ye do it.
Mrs. Ye happened to go to the east room to see how they were eating.
As soon as he came in, he found that Liu Quan and Meng Yu had been drunk by the Ye brothers.
Although Ye Lao Er and Ye Lao San were not drunk to the point of being unconscious, it was obvious at a glance that they were definitely drunk.
When the two men saw Mrs. Ye coming in, they had no time to take credit!
Ye Lao Er pointed at Liu Quan and said, "Sister-in-law, look, can we accompany you today?"
"That's right, when my uncle wanted to eat the spicy rabbit meat, we toasted him and didn't let him eat too much..."
Mrs. Ye didn't know what to say. She went over to touch Meng Yu and saw that his lips were red. He kept licking his lips in his sleep and smacking his lips from time to time.
Well, it looks like I can’t leave this afternoon.
Let’s talk about returning to Beijing tomorrow.
Sure enough, when Meng Yu finally woke up, it was already dark outside.
He jumped up from the kang and asked in a panic, "What time is it?"
Qingtian, who was sitting on the kang and playing with building blocks, heard this, took out his pocket watch, glanced at it and said, "It's almost the beginning of the evening."
"Why is it so late? Damn it! The old man must be getting anxious waiting for me. I'm sure I'll be scolded when I get back this time."
"It's okay!" Qingtian said like a grown-up, "Someone from the village happened to be going to Beijing, and my mother asked someone to deliver a letter to my great-grandfather.
"Mom said Uncle Meng is drunk, so he'll stay home for one night. We can leave tomorrow after breakfast."
"Oh, it's really a mistake to drink too much."
Meng Yu had just sighed when he saw the door curtain lifted and Ye Lao Er poked his head in.
"woke up?"
"Brother, I'm awake. Are you okay?"
Although Meng Yu woke up, he still felt a little dizzy at this moment.
He remembered that at noon, Ye Lao Er and Ye Lao San drank more than him, so why did they look like nothing happened to them?
"I slept a while ago and I'm sober now." Ye Lao Er said shakily, "When you wake up, get up and wash your face. The third brother is going to pick up the kids. It'll be time for dinner when they get back."
Mrs. Ye's voice came from outside the door, "Tonight there are only dumplings and cold dishes. Just make do with them and don't be picky."
When Meng Yu heard Mrs. Ye mention dumplings, she vaguely felt that she had eaten some particularly delicious dumplings at noon.
But he had drunk too much, and his memory was a little fuzzy at this time. For a moment, he couldn't tell whether it was reality or a dream.
Meng Yu got up and went out to wash his face with well water, and finally felt a little more awake.
Just at this time, the children were also picked up from the private school by Ye Laosan.
Five children rushed in from outside, and when they saw Meng Yu, they stopped and shouted, "Hello, Uncle Meng!"
"Okay, okay!" Meng Yu's mind, which had just become a little clearer, was instantly confused again by their shouting.
Even when he sat down at the table, he was still thinking about the dumplings he had eaten for lunch.
"Don't be polite, let's eat!" Ye Lao Er called out.
Meng Yu also picked up a dumpling.
Because he had been with Grandpa Cen for many years, Meng Yu had developed a habit. Whenever he ate something with stuffing, he would not dip it in any seasoning before taking the first bite. He would first try the original flavor.
