In the courtyard, several women were busy in the kitchen. They first boiled two pots of water, preparing for Sun Dajiang to take a bath.
After the water was boiled, everyone worked together to carry it to the wooden tub in the room before starting to cook.
Half an hour later, Sun Dajiang finished showering, changed into clean clothes, and walked out of the room, stretching lazily with great satisfaction.
"Awesome, I haven't felt this comfortable in six months."
"What did you say? Dad, tell me honestly, how long has it been since you last took a shower?"
Sun Dajiang glanced at his son speechlessly. Even though there aren't many people around now, you can't keep bringing this up.
Don't I have any pride?
Thinking about all this, it's no wonder Sun Dajiang couldn't say anything nice!
"You're really persistent, aren't you? Why are you still bringing this up? Let me make it clear, I refuse to answer this question."
"Hahaha!" Sun Zhengguo laughed until his stomach hurt. "Dad, haven't you taken a bath in half a year? You just let it slip."
"You little monkey, I think you're asking for a beating."
As he spoke, Sun Dajiang even pretended to reach out and hit someone.
"Let's go!"
Sun Zhengguo cooperated perfectly, quickly making his escape, which caused everyone in the courtyard to burst into laughter...
Soon it was lunchtime. Although we were in a rush and didn't have many dishes, it was still much better than the food in Northwest China.
With the addition of the small black bottle that Sun Zhengguo brought out, Sun Dajiang really got his fill of spittle today.
After dinner, everyone sat in the courtyard chatting about things that had happened in the past few years, trying to give Sun Dajiang a comprehensive understanding.
Of course, Sun Zhengguo wasn't idle during this time either; he pretended to go out and prepare some dishes, planning to have a good celebration that evening...
Soon it was evening, and the courtyard was even more lively than during the New Year, with all the younger generation present.
Seeing three tables of people sitting in the courtyard and smelling the aroma of strong liquor, Grandpa was as happy as a child, picked up his glass and stood up.
"Today our family is reunited. To celebrate Dajiang's safe return, shall we all have a toast together?"
"good!"
Then everyone stood up, raised their glasses together, and shouted in unison, "Cheers!"
After drinking the wine, everyone sat down and began to eat and chat.
During this time, some people asked Sun Dajiang where he worked, but he always brushed them off…
An hour later, the banquet ended. After clearing away the dishes, Grandpa didn't ask anyone to stay and told everyone to go home and rest.
After all, Sun Dajiang just got back today, so we need to give the couple some time.
Before leaving, Sun Zhengguo pulled his father aside and said mysteriously.
"Dad, I'll come to see you tomorrow night. We need to talk about something alone."
Seeing how mysterious his son was talking, Sun Dajiang nodded.
However, he also had something he wanted to say, but he didn't know how to bring it up.
Seeing that his father was having some kind of trouble, Sun Zhengguo took the initiative to ask him.
"Dad, is something wrong?"
"Hehe! Son, Dad's been resting at home these past few days, and since I have some free time, I'd like to visit some relatives and friends, so..."
Just by looking at his father's expression, Sun Zhengguo knew what he was up to!
Tea, wine, or something else?
"As long as there's tea and wine, Dad can buy everything else."
Sun Dajiang didn't stand on ceremony and made his request directly.
"Then wait a moment."
Sun Zhengguo didn't waste any words and turned to go inside.
Two or three minutes later, when he came out again, he was carrying a bag.
"Dad, use it sparingly. If you run out, just ask me for more, but don't give it away indiscriminately. Tea is easy to get, but the wine is a bit harder to come by."
"What are you thinking? Do I look like an idiot? Send two bottles to your grandpa, and I'll drink the rest myself."
After saying that, Sun Dajiang picked up his spoils and walked triumphantly towards the courtyard house…
A dozen minutes later, everyone returned to the courtyard house. The two families greeted each other and then went home.
Sun Zheng'an and his wife quickly washed up and then took their child back to their room.
Sun Dajiang returned to the main room to inspect his spoils of war.
"This brat is really generous. Look at this, ten packets of tea, ten bottles of liquor, and cartons of cigarettes, fruit, milk candy, and canned goods. No wonder it's so heavy!"
Looking at the items laid out on the table, Sun Dajiang couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
Lin Wencui couldn't help but laugh when she saw her husband's expression.
"You should be secretly happy! Our son is not only filial, but also capable. Look around here, everyone who mentions our son gives him a thumbs up and praises him."
"Yes, yes, this is all thanks to you, Director Lin. Thank you for giving me such a good son."
As Sun Dajiang spoke, he packed his things, while also giving his wife a wink.
Lin Wencui, of course, understood this intriguing glance.
Although the couple hadn't seen each other for several years, their understanding and tacit agreement remained as strong as ever.
Without saying a word, Lin Wencui went straight to the kitchen and filled a pot with hot water…
After a quick wash, when she returned to her room, Sun Dajiang was already waiting for her in bed.
As everyone knows, after experiencing several years of famine, coupled with his son's drinking, Sun Dajiang was incredibly energetic tonight.
It felt like I was back when I was twenty.
Lin Wencui, like a withered tree finding new life, finally got the water pump and naturally cooperated perfectly.
The two were evenly matched, like two equally matched generals, and their battle was fierce and evenly matched.
However, as the old saying goes, excessive joy can lead to sorrow.
Just as Sun Dajiang completed his hat trick, he was suddenly twisted because of the large range of motion in his movements.
"Ouch! My back."
Sun Dajiang immediately stopped, covered his waist with his hand, and rubbed it a few times.
"What's wrong? Dajiang, are you alright?" Lin Wencui looked up at Sun Zhengguo's waist and asked with some concern.
"What could possibly happen to me? It was just a fleeting moment. Let's continue."
After saying that, Sun Dajiang ignored all advice and insisted on completing his hat trick despite his injury.
After the match, the two embraced, whispered some secrets, and then drifted off to sleep...
The next morning, Lin Wencui got up early to cook.
After last night's pampering, she looked radiant.
Not long after breakfast was prepared, Sun Zheng'an and his wife also got up, washed up, and prepared to eat breakfast.
At this moment, Sun Zheng'an realized that his father had not yet arrived.
"Mom, where's Dad?"
"Never mind him, let your dad sleep a little longer, he doesn't go to work anyway."
After saying that, Lin Wencui grabbed a steamed bun and started eating it.
After the group finished breakfast, Sun Dajiang still hadn't gotten up.
However, everyone had to go to work, so Lin Wencui left him some food, handed the child over to her second son's family, and went to work.
It was almost 9 a.m. when Sun Dajiang, who was lying in bed sleeping, slowly opened his eyes and then habitually glanced at his watch.
"Wow! It's already 8:45, and Wencui didn't even call me."
After saying that, Sun Dajiang prepared to sit up, but at that moment, a piercing pain struck his lower back.
"Hiss~!"
Why does my lower back hurt so much?
Sun Dajiang recalled that this was probably due to overexertion last night, which he hadn't paid attention to at the time, and now the aftereffects were starting to appear.
What bad luck! If other people knew, they'd laugh themselves to death.
Sun Dajiang could hardly believe it.
