Chapter 276 I can’t sleep, you have to accompany me
Because of a careless word, Xu Yu lost the opportunity to continue tasting tea.
Sang Zhixia threw down the table full of tea and left. Xu Yu's eyes were filled with unspeakable regret.
I really can't drink any more tea.
Why did the person leave?
Xu Yu played with the teacup in his hand and felt secretly regretful.
The old man went to the village school to teach as usual. After finishing his teaching one day, he was in a good mood. He walked into the door with a smile. When he saw the big bowl filled with tea leaves at Xu Yu's feet, his eyebrows twitched.
"Xu Yu."
Xu Yu was so distracted by the lingering taste of tea that he didn't catch the storm in the old man's words. He stood up blankly and asked, "Grandfather?"
"What are you doing, kid?"
Xu Yu: “…”
"Grandfather, I..."
"Just because you have a few copper coins in your pocket, you're already getting carried away? Are you so extravagant and dissolute that you'd take out all this good tea and just waste it?"
The old man, who loved tea like his life, could no longer tolerate it. With a sullen face, he roared, "You are a spirit made of a teapot. You can't survive if you lose half a pound a day, right?!"
"So many good things, are you going to ruin them like this?!"
Xu Yu was speechless at the old man's sudden outburst of anger, and reflexively looked at Sang Zhixia who came out of the house.
Sang Zhixia quickly stuffed the tea box behind her and looked at Xu Yu disapprovingly: "Drinking so many different kinds of tea at once will make the flavors mix. How can you tell whether they are good or bad?"
Xu Yu: “…”
Sang Zhixia said earnestly, "Xu Yu, listen to your grandfather and don't drink like this next time."
In that instant, Xu Yu's mind went completely blank, and he somehow understood how Xu Mingyang felt when he was stabbed in the back.
It turns out that being betrayed by the person next to you feels like this...
Because of Xu Yu's shameful behavior of wasting good tea, the old man grabbed him and scolded him severely for half an hour.
After the old man finished scolding him, Uncle Xu, who was busy preparing goods for the caravan, came home and was so heartbroken when he heard the tragic news.
Uncle Xu San grabbed Xu Yu without saying anything, and he quoted from classics and talked eloquently for a long time, pointing out the heinous crime of Xu Yu's wastefulness.
When Uncle Xu was finally tired of scolding and called off the battle, Xu Yu's head had become much bigger and even his eyes were empty.
Sang Zhixia poured water for Uncle Xu with a meek expression: "Uncle, have some tea."
Uncle Xu took the teacup and smiled kindly, then turned to look at Xu Yu and glared at him again: "Look at how much your wife cherishes good things, and then look at yourself!"
Xu Yu was speechless and wanted to say something but hesitated. Finally, he gritted his teeth and took the huge blame on his head. He remained silent and said nothing.
After half a day, the instigator felt a little bit sorry for it.
Sang Zhixia cleared her throat and sat down, calmly changing the subject. "Uncle San, I heard from Aunt San that the caravan is almost ready. Are they planning to set off soon?"
With Chen Nianhe's protection, Uncle Xu's actions this time were much bigger than the last time.
Uncle Xu narrowed his eyes in satisfaction, savoring the aroma of tea on his tongue. He nodded and said, "Your Third Aunt has someone calculate the date. We'll leave on the eighth day of next month."
"The eighth day of next month?"
Sang Zhixia calculated in her mind and laughed, "Doesn't that mean there are only ten days left?"
"It's only ten days, but when I think about it, I still feel like it's been delayed."
Uncle Xu glanced back nervously after he finished speaking. After confirming that Aunt Xu was not around, he lowered his voice and said, "I mean, the sooner we get ready, the better. There's no time to delay making money. But your Aunt Xu insisted."
Aunt Xu San didn't have the courage to take risks, but she was very pious and prayed to the gods and asked for divination.
Aunt Xu secretly found a master to calculate all the details, big and small, including when to load the truck and when to set off, from the general date to the specific time, and strictly abided by no violation.
Sang Zhixia couldn't help laughing when she thought about the auspicious days that were calculated for when to open the jars and extract the wine at the winery.
"Aunt San is just asking for good luck. It didn't take long, so it's not a big deal."
"Even if it's delayed, I can't say anything."
Uncle Xu said with a smile, "You know that your Third Aunt is the one who makes the decisions now. All matters, big or small, have to go through her hands. Don't take what I say seriously."
Uncle Xu suddenly changed the subject and said, "I saw the list you gave me yesterday. You asked me to buy some sheepskin from outside the Great Wall. Did you want to make sheepskin mattresses?"
Before Sang Zhixia could say anything, Uncle Xu curled his lips and said, "Girl, if you want good furs, I'll go out and get you some good wolf furs. If that doesn't work, fox fur is also good."
"That sheepskin has an indescribable fishy smell. What are you doing with something that smells so bad?"
Xu Wenxiu also shook her head: "The sheepskin smells strong, and you can't do anything with it. Xia Xia, why did you suddenly want this thing?"
"It's not the sheepskin I want, it's the wool from the sheepskin."
Sang Zhixia talked with Xue Liu, who had been at the border for many years. He learned that there was mostly grazing outside the border, and there were many horses, cattle and sheep.
Xue Liu once said that there is a kind of strange-looking sheep outside the Great Wall, with its body covered with blown-up hair. It can neither produce milk as well as goats, nor has meat as firm and delicious as that of blue sheep.
Sang Zhixia was interested in the wool that exploded from these sheep.
The listeners were even more confused when these words came out. Sang Zhixia couldn't explain it clearly at the moment, so she simply said, "Anyway, what I want is wool. Maybe I can use this stuff for something else if I bring it back."
"Uncle San, please take the trouble to help me. It would be great if you could bring back more."
It was just a small favor to bring some wool and sheepskin back home, so Uncle Xu didn't mind.
By the time this incident was over, it was already late, and everyone got up and went back to their rooms. As soon as Sang Zhixia entered the house, he was caught by Xu Yu.
Xu Yu pinched her wrist and pushed her against the door. When he lowered his head, his breath brushed against the side of Sang Zhixia's neck as she tilted it. He spoke softly, "Your extravagance and debauchery are shameful, and your wastefulness is disgusting."
Sang Zhixia suppressed her laughter and said with her neck stiff, "I didn't say that, you..."
"Then don't do it again. Don't drink like that next time. Shouldn't you be the one saying that?"
As Xu Yu spoke, he seemed to get angry and opened his mouth to bite Sang Zhixia's neck.
The stinging pain from the skin exploded along the sensitive flesh, extending to the numb scalp and sweeping over Zhi.
The breath is hot.
As Sang Zhixia subconsciously dodged, Xu Yu opened his mouth and bit her earlobe, gnashing his teeth softly: "Isn't it a good habit to be a spendthrift?"
"Zhizhi, you said all this."
The person who was speaking forced him to drink the tea.
Sang Zhixia couldn't help laughing and reached out to push Xu Yu away, but he bit her wrist.
Sang Zhixia screamed in surprise as she was instantly lifted into the air, and instinctively wrapped her arms around Xu Yu's neck.
"Xu Yu, you..."
"I drank too much tea. I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep tonight."
Xu Yu loosened his grip and rushed forward, blocking Sang Zhixia's mouth as she was about to protest. His voice was vague and hoarse: "I can't sleep, you have to stay with me..."
