The table was divided into men and women. Hu's father, Hu Xu, brother-in-law and Song's father sat at one table, while Hu's mother, Hu Jin and Song Qiao sat at another table.
The two tables were not far apart. When Hu Jin was flirting with her husband, she was frequently intercepted by her silly brother, which made her feel embarrassed.
She glared at Hu Xu, but found that he was not looking at her, but at Song Qiao.
Song Qiao was eating quietly. Hu's mother was afraid that she was not full, so she kept giving her food, until her bowl was piled high.
"That's enough, Aunt Hu." Song Qiao put a piece of rabbit meat into Hu's mother's bowl, "You eat too."
"Okay." Mother Hu looked at Song Qiao with a smile, "Eat it all, eat it all." Then she picked up some food for her daughter, "Ajin, eat too. Didn't you always ask for the food I made? Today, these are all your favorites. Why don't you eat more?"
"Thank you, mother."
Seeing this, Song Qiao felt a little envious. It was so nice to have a mother who loved him.
While eating, Hu Jin secretly looked at Song Qiao. Seeing her occasionally looking at that table, she couldn't help but feel puzzled.
Is he looking at his silly brother or Uncle Song?
On this side, Song's father was drinking with Hu's father, but his eyes kept falling on Hu Xu and his daughter.
Seeing the two of them chatting back and forth, he couldn't help but smile with satisfaction, and then happily toasted everyone at the table.
Father Hu asked, "Brother Song, you seem to be in a very happy mood today."
"Happy, happy, it's been a long time since I had a drink with my brother and eaten the food cooked by my sister-in-law, so I'm happy."
"Then you must come here often. It's convenient since it's right next door."
"I take that seriously."
"It's true, it's true."
The two drank a few more rounds, and Song's father toasted Hu Xu again, "Ah Xu, you're going to take the exam soon. With this glass of wine, I wish you success and a top score!"
Hu Xu quickly raised his glass in response, "Thank you, Uncle Song."
After drinking, he put down the wine glass and looked at Song Qiao, only to see that Song Qiao was also looking at him.
Song Qiao was slightly stunned, then he walked past him and advised Hu's father: "Father, drink less."
It turned out that he was staring at Uncle Song. He felt relieved, but then his ears felt a little hot.
"No, no." Uncle Song turned the wine glass over to Song Qiao, then complained to Hu's father in a low voice: "As soon as I came back, I started to meddle in everything. I don't even know who is whose father. Sigh, it's better to be free in the mountains."
Father Hu smiled and said, "It's so nice to have a daughter to take care of you. I used to find Ah Jin's nagging annoying, but now that I'm married, I can finally hear her and feel quiet, but I often feel lonely inside. Now that she's back, I feel more at peace."
Father Song thought about it and agreed: "That's right, I often miss her in the mountains."
Hu's brother-in-law raised his glass to express his support, "Don't worry, father. If you feel lonely, Ah Jin and I will come back to see you more often in the future."
These words made Hu's father's face full of smiles, and the father-in-law and son-in-law drank together in peace.
Father Song thought to himself that although the Hu family's son-in-law was not good at speaking, he was very clear when it came time to express his opinion, and he was a smart man.
Look at Hu Xu again, well, he is a man who has become stupid because of reading too much.
Both the host and the guests enjoyed the meal very much.
Father Hu and Father Song drank to their heart's content and got drunk to their heart's content.
Hu's brother-in-law helped Hu's father back to the house, and Song Qiao also helped his father say goodbye. But the drunk man was heavy and seemed to be deliberately opposing others. You told him to go east, but he insisted on going west, which gave Song Qiao a headache.
Seeing this, Hu Xu hurried forward to help, and then said to his family, "I'll take my uncle back." Then he and Song Qiao helped the man walk away.
Hu Jin chased after them and hid behind the door and watched for a long time. She always felt that there was something going on between the two of them.
"Ajin, what are you looking at? Come over here and help me."
"Hey, here I come."
Hu Xu took great pains to help Song's father back to the bed after helping him back to the Song family.
Song Qiao quickly took off his father's boots and covered him with a quilt. After a while, his father cried out.
"Thank you for your help." Song Qiao breathed a sigh of relief. Then, noticing that Hu Xu's forehead was sweating, he pulled out a handkerchief from his sleeve and handed it to him, "Wipe it off."
Hu Xu paused, then took it and said, "Thank you."
Song Qiao asked again, "Would you like some tea?"
Hu Xu nodded, "...Okay."
"Then you can sit anywhere, I'll make some tea." After saying that, Song Qiao went to the kitchen to make tea.
Why can't I say no when I'm in front of her?
Hu Xu stood there for a moment, then suddenly caught a whiff of a faint fragrance. He sniffed and found it was coming from the handkerchief in his hand.
He suddenly felt that the handkerchief was a little hot, so he quickly put it on the table beside him. Then he looked at his father Song who was sleeping soundly, and went to the yard to cool down.
When I came to the courtyard, I saw lush grass and trees, and a faint fragrance.
In this cold winter, perhaps only Song Qiao can see the spring scenery in this garden.
The heat in Hu Xu's body dissipated, and the cold gradually came over him. He was moving around in the yard, but suddenly he saw a touch of warm red.
When I got closer, I saw that it was a pot of unknown flowers, with four or five flowers blooming in a cluster. Each flower was trumpet-shaped, as big as a bowl, and very luxurious and gorgeous.
Looking closely, you can see that its flowers and leaves are like swords, rosy red and lush, with white ribbons between the flowers and leaves, which breaks its vulgarity and adds a touch of elegance.
Hu Xu couldn't help but watch intently.
Song Qiao brought out tea and saw him looking at the flowers, so he didn't disturb him. After he stood up, he walked over and said, "Come and have some tea."
The two sat opposite each other and drank tea. Hu Xu looked at the flowers frequently and praised them, saying, "It's rare to see such colors on this day."
"You like it?"
"I'm afraid everyone will love such a rare flower."
Song Qiao stood up, brought the flowers over, and placed them in front of Hu Xu. "This is for you."
Hu Xu put down his teacup and looked at her in astonishment. "Give it to me?" The flower looked very valuable, so how could he accept it? "No merit, no reward. I can't accept it."
