"Eat more later and try Xiaozhi's cooking. Master Chen has been busy for so long today." Gu Huaijin had a smile in his eyes. He was very happy even if he didn't praise himself.
Zhao Shitou looked at the political commissar, then at Master Chen, and continued to mix the cement with his head down, but his speed was obviously much faster. He could even hear the sound of his own saliva. It was really uncomfortable to smell it but not be able to eat it.
The kang was finally built before dark. After finishing, Zhao Shitou touched the surface of the kang and said with a smile: "This kang is really comfortable. I don't have to worry about being cold in winter anymore."
Song Zhi also entered the room and carefully observed the kang. He nodded with satisfaction and said, "Yes, this winter depends on it. The meal is ready, let's go over and eat!"
Master Chen was also a little impatient to try Song Zhi's cooking, but he also reminded him, "It's cold these two days, so light a little more fire down there and try to let the kang dry out for a few days. It's good for your health to sleep on it after it's dry."
"Okay, I'll burn more of it these two days if I have time."
After everyone washed their hands and sat down at the dining table, Song Zhi quickly called for everyone to start eating. "Let's eat. We've been busy all afternoon."
Song Zhi greeted everyone.
A table full of sumptuous dishes filled the dining table, emitting an enticing aroma.
Master Chen unceremoniously picked up the chopsticks, picked up a piece of meat from the fish belly, put it in his mouth, chewed it carefully, and then swallowed it.
"This craftsmanship is authentic. Political Commissar Gu will be in for a treat," he exclaimed.
"Sister-in-law's cooking skills are really good." Zhao Shitou next to her also gave a thumbs up, his face full of surprise.
Everyone praised Song Zhi, and he felt a little embarrassed. He said modestly, "It's not as good as everyone says."
Song Zhi took out a bottle of wine from the cabinet and said, "Here, we happen to be selling homemade wine today, let's try it."
When Master Chen saw the wine, his eyes lit up and he said happily, "I like this. Let's drink to our heart's content."
Gu Huaijin was hesitant at first, after all, he rarely drank alcohol. Song Zhi smiled and said, "Drink less. You don't have to be on duty tomorrow, so just have a little drink."
"It goes perfectly with peanuts. Thank you for the effort in preparing this meal today." Master Chen took a sip, squinting his already small eyes, and seemed to be enjoying it very much.
Song Zhi also drank two glasses. It wasn't as strong as white wine, but it was also very intoxicating. After just two glasses, her face turned red and looked like a red apple.
"Stop drinking." Gu Huaijin frowned when he saw Song Zhi's expression. Then he remembered that she seemed to have never drunk alcohol before. His heart skipped a beat and he quickly stopped her.
"Just drink a little, just a little, it's okay." Her tone of voice became slow, completely different from usual. Gu Huaijin understood that she was drunk.
Song Zhi didn't feel like she was drunk. In modern times, she could drink a thousand cups without getting drunk. How could she get drunk after just two drinks here?
After three rounds of drinks, everyone left after eating and drinking their fill. Gu Huaijin looked at Song Zhi who was throwing a tantrum and fell silent.
At this moment, she was lying on the bed, sobbing, "What sin have I committed? How did I end up in this place where neither humans nor ghosts exist? I want to go back, I want to go back! God, please don't play such a joke on me. I've suffered enough. Can you please let me go back?"
As she spoke, her voice became silent, but she was still sobbing. Gu Huaijin could see with his own eyes how sad she was.
Gu Huaijin looked at her with a complicated expression, trying to pat her back gently, comforting her, "Don't cry, I didn't say you can't go back. If you cry again, you can't go back."
Song Zhi raised his tearful face and asked in a serious tone with a hint of innocence, "Can we really go back?"
Seeing her crying like this, Gu Huaijin felt a sudden pain in his heart. It was all because of him. She could have enjoyed life in Kyoto, but she followed him to the harsh environment in the northwest.
"Okay. Stop crying, okay?" Gu Huaijin wiped the tears from her face with his rough fingertips, not realizing that what they were saying was completely irrelevant. If Song Zhi was awake at this moment, he would see the heartache on his face.
Song Zhi nodded and lay obediently on the bed. Gu Huaijin patted her gently and coaxed her to sleep.
After Song Zhi fell asleep, he looked at her peaceful sleeping face, lost in thought for a moment, and couldn't help but kiss her forehead, but it was just a light kiss, like a dragonfly touching the water.
When Song Zhi woke up the next day, she had completely forgotten about her drunken behavior yesterday. However, the heavy head reminded her that she was drunk yesterday. She slapped her head hard. She hadn't felt this way for many years.
In fact, she was like this when she drank her first glass of wine in modern times, but it was too long ago and she forgot it for a while. At that time, she practiced her drinking skills for the sake of drinking culture, and then she was able to drink slowly.
Gu Huaijin was painting the shoe racks and clothes hangers outside, but he was absent-minded and kept an eye on the movements in the bedroom.
Seeing that Song Zhi had woken up, he said slowly, "After washing up, drink the hot hangover soup in the kitchen." His voice was cold and his emotions could not be discerned.
Song Zhi's head was in a daze. She asked, "When did they leave yesterday? Why don't I remember?"
Gu Huaijin looked at her deeply and said, "You left after getting drunk."
Song Zhiyi choked. Wasn't his words nonsense? If he wasn't drunk, would he still need to ask him? Then he remembered, "I was drunk. Did I do anything bad?"
"No, I was very quiet and fell asleep right away." Gu Huaijin lied without blushing or beating his heart.
Song Zhi looked at him suspiciously. Logically, she should have acted like a drunk the first time she got drunk! She still remembered the first time she got drunk in her previous life. She cursed their leaders for promoting a drinking culture and forcing female celebrities to accompany her drinking. In short, she said everything she should and shouldn't say.
Afterwards, a colleague who went drinking with her told her that even if her mouth was covered to stop her from speaking, she could still pry her hands open and continue to speak. It was a really socially disastrous scene.
But it is also possible that the two bodies are different. Yes, they are different. We are all people of this world. Why are we thinking about things in the previous world? Confucius said, they are not comparable!
"That's good. I was worried that I would get drunk and act crazy." Song Zhi patted his chest and said after surviving the disaster.
