Chapter 759 Childish
Song Chunxue patted the second son's arm, looking at him in his bright red wedding clothes, drunk and charming with his red lips and white teeth.
No wonder the Hu family girl was willing to marry him.
"If you're not going to make a fuss, then you are. We're all family. Go find the bride and don't keep her waiting." Song Chunxue said with a smile. "Don't worry, Mulan has already brought her some food."
The second son, who had been drinking, became particularly clingy, hugging Song Chunxue's neck and acting spoiled, "Thank you, Mother."
Jiang Hongying got goosebumps all over. "Go quickly, go quickly. You're such a grown man, but you're so sticky after drinking. Go find your bride."
The eldest son had also been drinking, and seeing the second son clinging to his mother, he copied her and hugged Song Chunxue's arm.
"mother."
Song Chunxue felt a pang of sadness; her child had never been so clingy to her since growing up.
He wouldn't even be happy to have his head touched, and angrily turned and walked away.
Sons are different from daughters; the older they get, the more estranged they become from their mothers.
"Hey, where did you all go? It's just me and my brother-in-law left at this table..."
The fourth brother, carrying a wine cup, stepped out the door and saw his eldest and second eldest brothers leaning against their mother. A sly smile appeared on his face, and he jumped up and pounced on them.
"Mother, I'm here!"
"Ouch, my back is killing me! Let go!" Song Chunxue nearly threw out her back and slapped them irritably.
"Second brother, hurry up! On such a joyous occasion, why aren't you holding your wife? What are you doing clinging to Mother?" the fourth brother shoved the second brother. "Go, go! The hot water is all ready for you. Have someone carry it in. A moment of bliss on your wedding night is worth a thousand pieces of gold. Go, go!"
The second son pinched the fourth son's ear. "Be careful, your mother is old. Do you still think you're seven or eight? Your mother has practiced swordsmanship, not become an immortal. You're as fat as a pig now. Be careful not to knock your mother away."
The fourth brother was immediately annoyed. After getting married, he became fatter day by day. In addition, he was busy working in the tavern all day long. Everyone who came was a guest, and he would always have to drink with them after exchanging a few words. It was hard not to gain weight.
"Mind your own business! So what if I'm fat? I'm not bothering you. It's too early to laugh at me. Once you get married, you'll be as fat as me in a few years. Your wife was only fooled by your face. In a few years, when you're all fat, let's see if she'll still be disgusted by you..."
Song Chunxue pulled on the fourth brother's arm, "Alright, alright, second brother, go on, why are you arguing with him? You can't win an argument. Our fourth brother looks good even when he's chubby, he's just right now, just control yourself and don't get any fatter."
"Why? Can I control whether I'm fat or not?" The fourth brother hugged Song Chunxue's leg and wailed sadly, "Waaah, Mom, my second brother thinks I'm fat. He's not my wife. Tian Qi didn't complain about me, so why does he have to complain about me? Waaah..."
Song Chunxue was helpless from being shaken, so she could only comfort him, "I'll scold him later. When you're drunk, take your wife and children home to rest. Tian Qi is pregnant and can't be overworked."
“I’ve already put her in bed. She’s chatting happily with my third sister-in-law and told me not to disturb them… Waaah, Mom, it was so much better when I was a kid.”
"Awoooooo..."
Suddenly, the eldest son grabbed Song Chunxue's other leg, squatted on the ground, and cried very sadly. His shout made the children who were playing with pebbles in the yard look over with blank expressions.
Isn't it only children who cry? Why are adults crying too? And their voices are so loud they're scary.
However, the pebbles were quickly taken away, and the child's attention was diverted.
"Mother, Mother, I'm so sad, Mother. Are you still angry with me? Are you still blaming me? You don't treat me like your son anymore, sob sob sob..." The eldest son cried very sadly.
Song Chunxue sat on a low stool, being pulled on both sides, making it difficult to even think about it.
"I didn't, don't overthink it," Song Chunxue comforted gently. "I was quite angry before, but now that you're living a good life together, and Chen Feng isn't around, you're not angry with me anymore. You even bring me some homemade food. How could I not treat you like my son?"
"Waaaaah, but I always feel like Mom wants to stay far away from me. Last time you came back, you preferred to stay in the old courtyard rather than stay with us for one night. Waaaaah, I'm so sad, Mom, waaaaah."
"..." Song Chunxue looked up at Jiang Hongying, signaling her to quickly pull the two people apart.
Unexpectedly, Jiang Hongying also began to wipe away tears.
"Mother, let them cry. The eldest son is indeed wronged. Let him cry for a while, otherwise it will be hard for him to keep it inside."
"..." Fine, fine, they've all complained. Song Chunxue sat helplessly in the chair, her arms even being pulled away.
At this moment, the third child came back from outside and saw the eldest child hugging his mother and crying sadly, and the fourth child was also wailing. He thought something serious had happened and was very panicked.
"What's wrong?" Sanwa asked uncertainly, his voice hesitant. "Is Mother going to leave us again?"
Jiang Hongying explained in a low voice, and Sanwa was finally relieved.
Seeing his older brother crying with snot running down his face, he thought to himself that alcohol was a wonderful thing, and he wanted to get drunk too.
Before long, Song Chunxue was being held and crying by her three older sons, with no room to struggle.
The more people around her tried to comfort her, the more intensely she cried. Song Chunxue had no choice but to resort to her trump card.
She asked Xiaolong to go to the kitchen and get a fire poker.
"Cry, cry, cry! Three grown men crying at the second brother's wedding banquet, and you're still not done? I'll teach you to cry." Song Chunxue whipped each of them twice on the leg bones, showing no favoritism whatsoever.
"Mom, please stop hitting me, please stop hitting me, I won't cry anymore, okay?"
Sure enough, they ran faster than anyone else, wiping away tears while laughing as they jumped far away.
"Ah, that feels so good. So this is what it feels like to drink and act crazy. Oh, my head is a little dizzy, honey, help me back to rest."
Song Chunxue scolded him, "How can you be so shameless with your wife so pregnant?"
Changfeng, who had been watching the commotion from the sidelines, stood up and said, "I'll help him up."
Changyun also stood up with a smile, "I'll help the eldest brother up, he was crying the hardest."
That's right, of the three of them, the eldest cried the most, the third child cried and then laughed uncontrollably, and the fourth child pretended to crumple her sleeves.
They're all acting like kids because they've been drinking, aren't they?
childish.
After the guests had left, the children and apprentices had settled down and rested, and the courtyard was quiet, Song Chunxue helped the drunk Xie Zheng back to the Xie residence.
Along the way, Xie Zheng was slurring his words from drinking, but he still talked a lot.
After the servants brought hot water for washing up, Xie Zheng pulled Song Chunxue aside and chatted on and on.
"I met so many people today and talked so much. My head is all fuzzy. That's why I don't like visiting relatives."
"Being an official is the same. The most difficult thing in officialdom is not the big or small matters, but dealing with people. It takes a lot of brainpower."
“Chunxue, now I feel like I finally have a family. My heart has found its home, and I especially want to go home as soon as it gets dark,” he said, putting his arm around Song Chunxue’s waist and pulling her into his arms. “Chunxue, do you feel the same way?”
"A little."
Xie Zheng laughed, the smell of alcohol wafting through the air. With his eyes closed, he drunkenly said, "It's better than nothing. Sister Song's resolve is truly unwavering. It seems I, Xie, still need to work harder."
“All your children and grandchildren are here today, not one is missing. Are you happy?” He stroked her cheek. “You’re so young, why are you so reserved? It’s okay to smile more happily.”
"..." She paused slightly, "Really?"
