The dinner was sumptuous and the three old men ate until their mouths were drooling. After eating and drinking their fill, they sat for a while before saying goodbye and leaving.
After seeing them off, Zhong Yuxiu asked Goudan to give the packed buns to Yan Rushan. "I'll go home with you. With these snacks, we can steam some to fill Grandpa and Xiaohai's stomachs when they get hungry."
It's better than going hungry.
Without a woman at home, the Yan family's grandfather and grandson would eat whatever they had, and if they didn't, they would have to wait for dinner. In the past, there were three grandchildren in the Yan family, but now there are only two.
"It's cold outside, you stay at home, I'll go." After Yan Rushan said that, he pushed the person into the living room, picked up the dustpan covered with white cloth and left.
As soon as he left the house, the cold wind whistled and blew on his face, causing pain. Yan Rushan was glad that he did not let his sweetheart go out. Although she always silently carried the burden of the whole world, he still couldn't help feeling distressed in such a cold day. It would be good even if he could let her suffer less cold.
When we arrived at Yan's house, the lights were already on and the place was brightly lit, almost the same as in Zhong Yuxiu's small building.
"Grandpa, Xiaohai." Yan Rushan pushed open the door, went in, and then turned around and closed it to block out the wind and snow outside.
Yan Guofeng was reading a newspaper in the living room. When he heard the noise, he put down the newspaper and looked over. "Why are you here? Why don't you stay at home so late? What are you doing out here?" They just got the marriage certificate, but he still thought of him as his grandfather, which showed that his eldest grandson had a conscience.
Although his tone of voice was not very good, he was satisfied in his heart.
Perhaps this is the little thought of being an elder.
"I don't want to come out either. Yuxiu asked me to bring you some food. They are all buns, steamed buns and dumplings made by Goudan. If you are hungry, just cook some and fill your stomach. Don't wait hungry until dawn." Yan Rushan's words were more straightforward.
Yan Guofeng: “…” It’s better to sell this eldest grandson.
"Yuxiu didn't let you come over to deliver the things, so you don't want to come over anymore?"
"That can't be helped." She peeled back the white cloth and showed it to him. "Look at what your granddaughter-in-law has given you. You know Goudan's cooking skills. The white flour steamed buns are very soft, and the dumplings are thick in filling but thin in skin, and the skin is very firm and chewy."
Yan Guofeng said impatiently, "Okay, put your things down and get out of here." Or is it that his granddaughter-in-law is filial? What's the point of having a grandson?
"Let's go." Covering the body with a white cloth, Yan Rushan walked forward, put the things on the coffee table, turned around and left.
Yan Guofeng was furious, but then he looked at the noodles on the coffee table and calmed down. He had a troublesome grandson, but also a caring and sensible grandson's wife. What was there to be angry about? He still had a few more years to live and enjoy the blessings of his children and grandchildren.
Yan Ruhai came down from upstairs and didn't see Yan Rushan, so he asked, "Grandpa, where is my brother? I just heard his voice. Did I hear it wrongly?"
"You heard right, he's gone." Pointing to the dustpan on the coffee table, he said, "Your sister-in-law asked your brother to bring it to you and put it on the balcony to freeze."
"What did your sister-in-law ask you to bring? What is it?" Yan Ruhai came down from upstairs and uncovered the white cloth. "Oh, there are quite a lot of things, steamed buns and dumplings. There are fewer steamed buns, but more steamed buns. Dumplings take up one-third. Your sister-in-law is so kind to you. If these things were kept in someone else's house, they would probably have to be hidden."
"That's right." Yan Guofeng raised his head and smiled smugly. "Your brother is a troublesome thing. Fortunately, your sister-in-law will take care of him from now on. Your sister-in-law will have the final say on how he lives his life. He is destined to be defeated by something in this life."
Yan Ruhai: ? ?
He said one thing and meant another. Before he married his sister-in-law, I don't know who would say good things about my brother whenever they met her. Now he has forgotten all about it so recently and is even contradicting himself.
"Grandpa, you didn't say that before."
Yan Guofeng paused, rolled his eyes, and said, "The past is the past, and the present is the present. The same goes for you. Don't think that just because people say you're great, you're really great. They can turn around and criticize you."
"Just like you?"
Faced with the heart-wrenching words of his second grandson, Yan Guofeng's smile disappeared completely. He turned around and went upstairs with a sigh.
Yan Ruhai thought silently, but couldn't stop smiling. He said loudly, "Grandpa, I'm going to my brother and sister-in-law's house for breakfast tomorrow morning. Do you want to go? If not, you can cook dumplings for yourself."
"Go, why not? Don't even think about leaving me behind." Yan Guofeng snorted coldly, turned the corner of the corridor, and went back to his room to rest.
Yan Ruhai picked up the dustpan and went upstairs, put the things on the balcony, closed the door and went into the room; their house had a small balcony next to the bedroom on the second floor, but it was outside, so it was very convenient to dry clothes and wash things on weekdays, and to freeze things in winter.
When Yan Rushan returned home, Zhong Yuxiu had already washed up and was waiting for him in the hall. Seeing him coming back in the wind and snow, she hurried to the bathroom and got him a towel.
"Wipe it."
Yan Rushan took the towel, his thin lips smiling, his eyes full of laughter, "Okay, Yuxiu, thank you."
"You're welcome. Shake off the snow, go to the bathroom and take a shower, then go upstairs to sleep." He smiled back and turned to go upstairs.
Yan Rushan shook off the snow on his body, stamped his feet, took off his shoes, went upstairs in his socks, opened the door, and saw Zhong Yuxiu already lying in bed.
"Yuxiu, let me get the clothes."
Zhong Yuxiu nodded without saying anything. She turned sideways and took out the borrowed "Collected Notes on Herbal Classics" and "Dietary Therapeutic Herbs" from the drawer to look through them.
Yan Rushan glanced at her twice, but she never gave him a glance; he had to collect his thoughts, went to get his clothes and went downstairs, but he was thinking in his heart, it doesn't matter, if I don't pay attention to him now, my body and mind are not with him, but I should be there later.
With this in mind, Yan Rushan took a quick shower and went upstairs. He pushed the door open and entered the bedroom. Yuxiu was still reading intently. He walked to the other end of the bed and sat down. He lifted a corner of the quilt and lay down in it. When he looked up, he saw that she was still reading.
"Yuxiu."
"Xiu'er."
"What are you doing?" He looked sideways and lowered his head, his starry eyes drooping, his gaze calm and clear.
The little thoughts in my mind dissipated a little, but in the end, I was still angry, "Are you not going to sleep yet?"
"You go to sleep first, I'll read for a while. I borrowed this book from the teacher, and I have to return it to the teacher after reading it." As he spoke, he set his eyes on the ancient books again, "These two are ancient books, the teacher treasures them very much."
Yan Rushan was speechless. Dejected, he pulled the quilt over his head. "This is their wedding night, right?" And this was how it ended.
Zhong Yuxiu had no time to care about him. She had not yet completed her studies and had to take care of the freshman class. Her mind was all on her career, and there was no such thing as love between men and women.
At 10:30 in the evening, Zhong Yuxiu finished reading two ancient books and memorized the contents in her mind. She put the books down, pulled up the quilt and lay down. Who would have thought that as soon as she lay down, she was pressed down by Yan Rushan, and her whole body was restrained and she could not move...
The next morning.
As the sky was getting light, Yuxiu woke up from her sleep and moved her body, grimacing in pain.
"Bird!"
As soon as she moved, Yan Rushan woke up and pulled her into his arms. He leaned over and kissed her on the cheek, then asked in a hoarse voice, "The union of yin and yang is only natural."
