Looking at Wang Ziwen, who was completely drunk, Li Chu shook his head helplessly.
After helping his sister carry her brother-in-law to his bedroom, he returned to the living room, picked up the teacup, and gulped down his tea.
"Xiao Chu, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, sis."
“Sigh, your brother-in-law was secretly wiping away tears last night. Honestly, Jia Yuan isn’t married that far away, she’s right here. What’s there to be sad about?”
Li Chu gave a bitter smile and put down the jar in his hand: "Sister, it's different. The daughter you raised with so much effort is now belonging to someone else. Who would be happy about that?"
"Is that what you think too?"
"Sigh, that's probably what I think, but more than that, I'm afraid my daughter will meet the wrong person."
At this point, Li Chu smiled and shook her head: "Alright, sis, I'm going back now!"
"Go back. You've drunk so much, be careful."
"Okay, sis, I'm really fine!"
Back home, Ding Qiunan was playing a card game called "Double Deduction" with her three children.
Goodness, ever since Li Chu taught them how to play Double Deduction, they've been playing it whenever they have a spare moment.
When the children aren't around, they either play with their older sister and brother-in-law, or with Jiadong and his wife, or if that doesn't work, with Jianguo and his wife.
Anyway, Ding Qiunan is particularly addicted to this.
"What time is it? Are you guys still playing?!"
"Oh, tomorrow's Sunday, I have nothing to do."
"Oh right, Li Chu, the headquarters duty room just called and asked you to come to a meeting at 8:30 on Monday morning."
Who made the call?
He had drunk quite a bit of alcohol, and although he wasn't actually drunk, his mind was still a bit slow.
"Headquarters Duty Room!"
"Oh, okay, I got it. Didn't they say what it was about?"
"No, I just told you to come to the meeting at 8:30 am on Monday."
"Okay, okay, I understand." He said, sitting down on the sofa and pouring himself a glass of water.
Ding Qiunan glanced at her man, but seeing nothing amiss, she focused intently on playing cards.
The four of them were playing cards and chatting and laughing, and no one paid any attention to Li Chu.
After an unknown amount of time, the four people who were playing cards suddenly heard a faint snoring sound.
They all turned to look at them, and what they saw almost made them burst out laughing.
It turned out that Li Chu had fallen asleep at some point. Well, he was probably sitting on a single sofa when he somehow slipped and fell to the floor.
Most importantly, he is now resting his head on Little Black's belly, and the other six dogs are snuggled up beside him, sleeping soundly. It looks so loving.
Just as Li Wenxuan was about to help his father up, Ding Qiunan grabbed his arm.
"Wenxuan, I remember when we took the photos during the day, wasn't that roll of film not used up?"
"Go, bring it over and take a picture of your dad. You don't often see him like this."
The three children looked at their mother with a mixture of amusement and exasperation, thinking, "How could you do this to me?"
"Hurry up, be quiet, don't wake the dog. The next time we'll see this scene will probably be when Wenhui gets married."
"Mom, why are you pulling me here?" Li Wenhui called out softly, a little embarrassed.
"Tch, do you think your dad and uncle are drinking tonight?"
Li Wenxuan, who was about to pick up the camera, had already reached the door when he heard his mother's question. He stopped and turned around to see what she would say.
"It's all because your sister Yuanyuan is getting married today. He and your uncle are worried. They're worried that Yuanyuan will be bullied in the future, that she won't be able to adapt to being with Lin Li, or that she won't be happy over there."
Especially you, Wenhui, you've been spoiled by your father since you were little, something Wenxuan can't even compare to. When you get married in the future, your father will definitely be even more upset than he is today."
After hearing her mother's words, Li Wenhui looked at her father, who was sleeping soundly on the ground, with some surprise.
She truly hadn't expected that her father and uncle would be drinking together tonight for this reason.
Scenes from my childhood and my time with my father flooded back into my mind.
Wenxuan sighed inwardly, turned and walked out of the living room to go back to his room to get his camera.
With a "click," a photo of Li Chu sleeping among a bunch of dogs was captured in the camera.
Suppressing a laugh, Ding Qiunan walked over.
As soon as she approached, the dogs woke up. When they opened their eyes and saw that it was their female owner, they stopped moving, closed their eyes, and went back to sleep.
fantuantanshu.
The smaller ones even squeezed closer to the male owner.
"Li Chu... Li Chu..." It took a long time to wake him up.
"Go take a shower. Smell yourself. You smell terrible."
Li Chu sat up groggily, squinting for a while before realizing that he had fallen asleep on the floor.
Fortunately, the heating in the house has been on all along.
"You guys aren't playing anymore!"
He saw the three children sitting to one side, smiling and looking at him, and asked them a question.
"I'm done playing. Goodness, how much have you drunk? This is the first time I've ever seen you drunk like this."
“I gave my brother-in-law two bottles each, and he collapsed on the spot. I had to help him inside.”
"Yeah, see how capable you are. Then why are you sliding on the ground?"
Li Chu chuckled awkwardly.
"Hey, Wenxuan, what are you doing with that camera?"
After saying a few words, he became more alert and noticed the camera in his son's hand, asking a question out of curiosity.
"Uh...it's okay. I was just thinking I didn't have many rolls of film left, so I'll see if I can finish taking the photos and then get them developed tomorrow."
Li Chu's eyes darted around and he knew they must have copied his sleeping position, but he didn't care at all. They were all his family, so what did it matter if he made a fool of himself?
"Come on, let's go to the yard and turn on the main light. Let your mom take a picture of me holding you both."
"Dad, can you still carry me and my brother?"
When she was little, every year on her and Wenxuan's birthdays, her father would hold her in one arm and her younger brother in the other, and take a picture in the yard.
As they've grown older, when it comes to taking photos, they always stand together for one picture. Today, hearing her father's suggestion, Li Wenhui was eager to try it out.
"What are you talking about? What do you mean by 'can I carry you'? Even in twenty years, I can carry both of you with ease, okay?"
"Hurry up and come out." Ding Qiunan was already in the yard with her camera, ready to go.
"Coming, coming." Li Chu stood up, walked to the door, put on his coat, and buttoned it up.
When he arrived in the courtyard, Wenhui and Wenxuan were already standing there waiting for him.
With ease, he picked up the two children again, just like when they were little.
"Yueyue, come here, climb onto my back, let's do it together."
Li Chu had just held his son and daughter when he saw Wang Yueyue standing next to his wife, looking at them with some envy.
"Oh? I'm coming too?"
"Hurry up."
"Here comes Daddy Chu."
