Chapter 140 139. Zhou Yi blushed shyly: "I miss my wife..."
Because the children are not willing to eat too much mutton and are afraid of getting a sour nosebleed, we also slaughtered a duck to make sour bamboo shoots and lemon duck. Duck meat is cool in nature and sour food is also appetizing.
The staple food is noodles and pancakes, served with a full cup of white wine cold water or lychee cold wine. The fragrance is so good that people can't help but eat it with relish.
The Lei family has an ice jar.
Meng Luo had his own fleet bring them from Zhongchuan. There were only about ten of them. He kept one for himself, gave one to Manager Chen, one to his sweetheart Mei Yuqing, and one to the Lei family. The rest were given away as favors or sold.
Put fruits and vegetables in an ice container, peel and cut into pieces, and put them on the table to eat as a refreshing snack, or pour milk, cold water, cold wine, etc. on them to make fruit salad.
The weather is too hot.
There were also two large vats in the main room, filled with saltpeter and water for making ice.
The main component of saltpeter is potassium nitrate. From a biological and chemical point of view, saltpeter is bitter, cold and non-toxic, but the refining technology here is general, and it is uncertain whether the saltpeter contains toxic minerals. It is not recommended to eat ice made directly from it.
——After all, eating ice cream that tastes like firecrackers is a bit weird.
But it is no problem to cool down and beat the heat.
A cool air like white mist drifted out slowly, and even if a large family of relatives and friends gathered together to eat, they would not feel the heat.
I had a hearty meal.
The adults talked about everything from the crops and prices in the fields to this year's weather, which was hotter than in previous years. Inevitably, they talked about the brightly colored halo that appeared at the beginning of spring. They all suspected that it was the work of two suns, and even Zhou Yi was not sure about it.
Although he is a materialist, time travel is not very materialistic at all!
This is the ironclad evidence that Zhou Yi is here.
It's impossible that all the bizarre modern life is just his fantasy. If that were the case, his imagination would be too outstanding and his luck would be too good.
The women and their husbands also talked about crops and the weather, family matters and income and expenditure, and the children and how they were doing at the village school. They also talked about how many words their own children had learned and how many poems they had sung.
"Master Asi is truly a man of genius and talent. He is even more learned than Zhang Tongsheng. He knows a lot of poems and can tell a lot of stories about famous people."
Liu Xiaocao's eyes were bright, and he admired and liked Miss Asi very much. His son Tao Ge'er had reached school age this year, and had made many friends after studying for a few months.
"My son Tao has learned quite a few words and can even sing a few poems. He's much better than my father who can only write his own name. Hall Master A Si even praised him for his talent. If he keeps learning like this, he might even be able to become a teacher in the future."
"My sister Hua'er is really naughty."
Grandma smiled and shook her head, saying, "When I sit in school, I feel like I'm being tickled. When school's over, I run away like crazy. I'm only careful when learning those boxing moves from Zhou Yi."
"Xiao Mu is a good student. He has a calm mind. If he can pass the imperial examination and become a scholar or something like that, it would be a great honor for our ancestors."
"I definitely can."
Lei Jingsheng smiled and said, "Xiaomu is obviously a good seedling. He is studious and serious, but not ostentatious or fond of crowds. He can succeed in anything."
Lei Jingsheng also went to school, but she was old and didn't have any ambitions to become a teacher. She just wanted to learn to read and write so that she could manage the chili garden for her brother and sister-in-law in the future and not be cheated.
"How is Xiaobao doing in school?"
Lei Jingsheng asked Miao Fulang again, "There are many children in the school, ranging from five or six years old to eighteen or nineteen. Although the girls and boys have their own classrooms, the boys are in the neighboring cubicles. Be careful not to be bullied by the older kids."
“I wasn’t bullied.”
Miao Fulang smiled and said, "His father and I also live in the village. His father, with his strong body, is no pushover. If he gets bullied by the older kids in the morning, he'll hit them back with his fists in the afternoon. Who would dare to bully our little treasure?"
"That's right."
Lei Li, having overheard this, came over and teased Lei Jingsheng, "What do you mean by 'big kid'? Some of them are two or three years older than you and already have children, and you're still expecting me to find you a husband."
"oops."
Lei Jingsheng was a thin-skinned man. He would have said this to his brother in private, but when it was brought to the attention of his elders, he felt a little embarrassed and annoyed. He said to him,
"What child husband? Brother, you're teasing me with these things again. You don't even bother to find a good match for me. If you've been a widow for two or three years, other people's children will run away."
This made several elders burst into laughter.
"What's the rush?"
Zhu Zhuer advised, "Good things take time. Didn't your brother marry your sister-in-law when he was 20? If you really rush into marriage, you will suffer."
"If you want to hold a baby, you can hold our Shuo'er as much as you want. I guarantee you won't miss the baby after a few days."
"Yes."
Liu Xiaocao understood this very well. "Your Shuo'er is only two or three years old now, while our Tao'er is older and spoiled, and he's become more noisy now that he's in school and has company. He chatters even more, and his father and I don't understand the things he asks, which really makes our heads spin."
“Daddy!”
Tao Ge'er was playing with his friends. When he heard his father saying bad things about him behind his back, he became unhappy, raised his eyebrows and pouted.
"How can I say I have too much to say? If you keep talking, I won't play with you anymore!"
"that is!"
Sister Huaer felt that she was a sister and a heroine, so she came out to do justice. She stared at the laughing adults with her almond-shaped eyes and said,
"Mr. Zhang said that talking about people behind their backs is not good. How can you adults lead children astray?"
The grandma and the others laughed again, and the grandpas who were worried about this year's tax revenue also looked over and laughed to muddy the waters.
The children were originally united in their hatred of the enemy, but when one father handed them a piece of cake and another grandfather praised them a few words, the small group immediately fell apart.
The night gradually deepened amidst the laughter and noise.
Miao Fulang and Zhu Zhuer's families have houses in the county town, so they can go back by carriage or walk slowly. Liu Xiaocao's family and her in-laws will stay at Lei's house and will return to the village after breakfast tomorrow.
There is no need to mention Meng Luo and Chen Xiangrang.
Before leaving, Meng Luo listened to Lei Li's bad idea, sprinkled some wine on his body and took a few more sips, pretending to be drunk, and then went back to confess some true words to see how his wife would react.
Isn’t there an old saying?
A man who is a little drunk will pretend to make you cry. But if his heart is not moved at all, he won't bite even if the hook is loaded with dragon liver and phoenix marrow.
Mengluo is really disappointing.
He was asked to pretend to be drunk, and he actually got drunk. He fell asleep as soon as he got on the carriage, leaving even Lei Li, the military advisor, speechless.
Zhou Yi was also forced to drink a lot of wine. Fortunately, the lychee wine was sweet and not too strong. He was only half drunk when the party ended at night, and did not fall asleep like the previous times.
The reaction is a bit dull.
Lei Li called him several times before he slowly responded. When Lei Li took his hand, he followed him obediently.
Lei Li had evil thoughts and pinched his face to tease him, "Who am I?"
“…”
Zhou Yi looked at him, his face flushed at first, then he slowly and softly said, "Wife."
"Um?"
Lei Li had never heard of such a name, so he asked, "What's 'wife'? Is that your nickname for me?"
"no."
Zhou Yi shook his head, his eyes sparkling, "A wife is her husband's wife, a husband is his husband, a wife is his husband, and my wife is you."
"You are the wife."
Lei Li raised his eyebrows and smiled. It was a rare name among ordinary men. He didn't know where he learned it from, but it sounded rather annoying.
"Scream a few more times so I can hear you."
"Wife?"
"Um."
"Wife."
"continue."
"Wife!"
The shout was full of energy, as if it had been brewing for a long time and wanted to be shouted out in one breath. It scared Lei Li a little, but after realizing it, he found it a bit funny and amusing.
"A wife is her husband's wife, but what about her husband? Is there anything that is opposite to a wife?"
"have."
Zhou Yi was mesmerized by Lei Li's laughing voice. His face and ears turned red, but his expression was positive, and he even looked a little excited as if he had been encouraged.
"husband."
"Um?"
"You have to call me husband and I'll call you wife. That's how it's fair."
"What should I call you?"
"husband."
Zhou Yi answered in a serious tone, but saw Lei Li laughing with his eyes curved, so happy that he fell into Zhou Yi's arms and clung to his shoulders and laughed. Zhou Yi's face became hotter and his heart beat faster, but he didn't quite understand.
"Why are you laughing?"
"Because my husband is so funny, I laugh when he's funny."
"wrong."
Zhou Yi slowly frowned and corrected him seriously, "It's not husband, it's husband. You should call me husband."
As he spoke, he felt a little aggrieved. The burly man looked rather pitiful. "You lied to me and called me wife many times, but you never called me husband."
Lei Li teased him with a smile, "You really want to hear it?"
"Um!"
Seeing him nod heavily in anticipation, Lei Li's eyes lit up with mischief. She leaned close to his ear, smiled softly and seductively said, "Then go take a shower. After you take a shower, go to the bed and I'll call you again, okay?"
"good!"
Zhou Yi nodded immediately, happy and excited. He stretched out his hand to Lei Li, waiting with bright eyes, like a child holding hands on a spring outing.
"So good at acting like a spoiled child?"
Lei Li smiled and held his hand.
But when he got to the room, there was a big bucket of hot water ready. When they wanted to take off his clothes to take a bath, he felt embarrassed and held on to his clothes and pants tightly, like a chaste and brave husband.
Her face was also very red, and her dark skin was visible. "You, you go out first. I need to take a shower."
Go out again.
What do you have that I haven't seen?
Lei Li raised an eyebrow, but seeing that he was more straightforward after drinking, he didn't care. "Okay, then I'll go out, you wash yourself, and call me in if you miss me."
"Um."
Zhou Yi nodded obediently.
But before Lei Li could even drink a sip of water, he heard a voice from behind the screen.
"Wife?"
"What's wrong?"
"...I just wanted to see if you were here. I missed my wife a little."
