As they were chatting, it was almost time for dinner. Several grown men sitting in the living room stood up one after another to help serve the dishes and get the bowls and chopsticks.
There are many people at home, so we can only have one table for adults and one table for children. The height of the coffee table is just right for several children in the family to eat, while the younger ones can eat with their parents.
"Xiaohui is asleep, put him in the bedroom."
Zhou Yucheng took his son Zhou Zhihui to the room to rest. Zhou Zhihui was only one year old. At this age, all he did was eat and sleep, and he always slept at mealtime.
The children were settled in, and the food was served on the table in two portions. The Zhou family had fewer dining rules than the Xu family, and seats were arranged according to seniority.
Before dinner, Zhou's mother went home and brought over the soup she had prepared for Xu Qingluo, so that everyone could have a bowl to nourish their bodies.
Xu Qingluo sat between Zhou's mother and Zhou Yuheng, opposite her was her eldest cousin (Zhou Yuze) and his wife (Chen Xiangyan), and below them were her second and third cousins as well as her sister-in-law and cousin's family.
Everyone in the Zhou family sticks to their own posts and is usually far away from each other. It is difficult for them to get together when they come back to visit their relatives. The last time so many people got together was when Zhou Yucheng got married.
Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou are not the kind of people who need their younger generations to stay around and fulfill their filial duties. Instead, they hope that their younger generations can serve the motherland and contribute to national construction.
The two elders are naturally happy to be reunited together. After all, when they get old, they want their children to come back and visit them more often.
"Come on, I won't say much, just drink a glass."
Grandpa Zhou raised his glass, and everyone raised their glasses as well. The men drank wine, and the women drank soda.
Everyone raised their glasses and drank together. Grandpa Zhou and Grandma Zhou started to pick up the food with their chopsticks, and then the rest of the family started to eat.
Everyone had a smile on their face during the reunion, and the happiest ones were the children in the family. On that day, they not only received red envelopes but also had delicious food and soda to drink.
These things, which usually require negotiating with parents to eat, can now be eaten all in one day. This can be said to be the happiest thing for children.
The whole family ate and drank to their heart's content in a lively atmosphere. The men also drank quite a bit of wine, and everyone reeked of alcohol. However, even so, this group of grown men still consciously cleaned up the dishes, chopsticks, and tabletops.
After cleaning up, Zhou Shu's family also went back home. Xu Qingluo and Zhou Yuheng also went home with Zhou's father and mother. As soon as they got home, Zhou's mother made a cup of honey water for them.
"Xiao Luo, take this honey water back to your room."
"good."
Xu Qingluo brought the honey water back to the room. Apart from the redness of Zhou Yuheng's ears, there was no sign of drunkenness on his face.
"Drink some honey water."
Zhou Yuheng was sitting on a stool with his eyes closed to rest. When he heard her voice, he opened his eyes, then took the cup of water from her hand and drank it all in one gulp.
Xu Qingluo took the cup downstairs to wash it. When she went upstairs again, Zhou Yuheng had already gone to the bathroom to take a shower. Although he had drunk some alcohol, he still liked to keep himself clean.
After taking a shower, Zhou Yuheng leaned against the head of the bed to rest. Xu Qingluo picked up her pajamas and went to take a shower. After she came out, Zhou Yuheng opened his eyes and looked in the direction she left.
Zhou Yuheng felt extremely irritated. From the moment Xu Qingluo said in front of everyone that he would not join the army, his whole heart felt like it was on fire and he was extremely restless.
He knew in his heart that he was the one who said last night that he didn't want Xu Qingluo to suffer in the army, but when Xu Qingluo really acknowledged this matter in public, he felt inexplicably irritated.
Zhou Yuheng laughed at himself, then sighed, it was really his own fault.
After taking a shower, Xu Qingluo returned to the bedroom and sat in front of the dressing table to wipe her hair. Zhou Yuheng walked behind her, took the towel from her hand, and gently wiped her hair without saying a word.
Xu Qingluo looked at Zhou Yuheng through the dressing mirror. When she saw the frown on the man's face behind her, her mood instantly improved.
"My hair is dry."
Zhou Yuheng said this in a dull voice, then took the towel he used to wipe his hair to the bathroom, washed it and hung it up. After Xu Qingluo waited for him to leave the room, she couldn't help laughing out loud.
Why is this man so reserved?
After Zhou Yuheng returned to his room, they went to bed to rest. Although Xu Qingluo planned to deal with Zhou Yuheng's stubbornness, she was very sensible and would not let this matter involve other aspects.
