Chapter 513: Xiaoze, be good and give in to your dad tonight.
This year, the Shen family is happy that their granddaughter and grandson-in-law can spend the New Year at home and the family is reunited.
The men were so happy that they drank until after twelve o'clock, and all of them looked drunk.
Old Mrs. Shen was scolding the old man while cooking sobering soup in the kitchen.
Zhao Hu had to go home to take care of his father. He returned after ten o'clock, fearing that he would get drunk.
Shen Chunling even saw him out. No one knew what they talked about. Shen Chunling's face turned red, and she went into the house and never came out again.
Shen Shuyu walked into the room and took a look. Her second aunt seemed very happy today, but she didn't know if it was because of Zhao Hu.
Shen Chunling was still worried that her eldest niece would ask her about Zhao Hu, but she didn't expect her to come in, say good night to her and then leave.
Gu Jiandong drank a little too much tonight, and after taking a shower, he could still smell the alcohol.
Gu Jiandong knew that she didn't like the smell of alcohol, so he rubbed her with soap several times in the bathroom before coming out.
Unexpectedly, he still smelled of alcohol. He was about to walk out holding the pillow, but Shen Shuyu stopped him, "What are you doing?"
"I smell a bit stinky, so I'm going to sleep in my old room."
"Don't go anywhere. Just sleep in the room. Does your headache hurt? Let me rub it for you."
Gu Jiandongji usually never drinks. She only drinks a little when she gets together with her comrades or comes back to drink with her grandfather.
Shen Shuyu has seen it. The ten-jin wine bottle is empty. Gu Jiandong must have drunk too much and his head might hurt.
Gu Jiandong was fine just now. He was pulled by his wife to lie on the kang. He felt a little dizzy. "Shu Yu, my head hurts."
He is like this now, speaking with a hint of coquettishness. Shen Shuyu thinks of the time when Gu Jiandong was stupid.
This was the tone she used when she spoke. She whispered softly, "If your head hurts, I'll rub it for you. It won't hurt after you rub it."
Xiaoze's eyes widened when he saw his father, a big ball, curled up in his mother's arms.
"Mom, my dad is such a grown-up, why are you still pampering him like a child?"
"Mom is happy."
Ozawa: "..."
Xiaoze couldn't bear it anymore, so he hugged his pillow and went to sleep next door with Old Lady Shen.
Old man Shen was drunk, and he was a little noisy. Xiaoze slept there for less than two hours and came back hugging his pillow.
His father hasn't gone to bed yet. He is pestering his mother to read him picture books. His mother actually did it, and she did it very seriously.
Xiaoze lay down on the kang and protested, "Mom, my dad is so old.
Why are you still reading comic books to him? You never told me that when I was unhappy, you had to comfort me. "
"Your dad is feeling uncomfortable, isn't he? Xiaoze, be good and give in to your dad tonight."
Ozawa: "..."
"Dad, are you pretending to be drunk?"
Gu Jiandong ignored his son and nestled in Shen Shuyu's arms, listening to the story book attentively.
He was so big that if Shen Shuyu wasn't so strong, she wouldn't be able to hold him.
Gu Jiandong had a good sleep with his wife to comfort him. When Shen Shuyu woke up, Gu Jiandong was no longer in the room.
When I got up and asked her grandmother, I found out that Gu Jiandong had gotten up early, swept the snow off his own roof, and went out to help the elderly aunts and uncles sweep the snow.
"Jiandong is such a good kid, grandma doesn't know how to praise him enough, he is filial and hardworking, he can't stay idle for a moment when he comes home.
And Ziqiang is also a good boy. He is never idle when he comes home. Look, he fills up several large water tanks at home."
There were leftovers from last night, so there was no need to cook much for breakfast. Old Mrs. Shen just cooked some porridge and heated up the leftovers.
Shen Shuyu drank half a bowl of porridge, took the children out, and came back with a bucket of fish.
"We don't have a shortage of fish to eat this year, Grandma Zeng, I want to eat fish balls."
"Grandma, I want to eat pickled fish."
"Grandma, I want to eat fried fish."
As soon as the three children came back, they hugged Old Lady Shen's thighs and started to order food. Old Lady Shen loved the children.
How could I not agree? I smiled and said, "Let's have pickled fish tonight, fried fish tomorrow night, and fish balls the day after tomorrow."
"Great."
After going out, their faces and hands were frozen red, so Old Lady Shen asked them to go into the kitchen to warm themselves by the fire.
Shen Shuyu's sleeves were wet, so she went back to the house and changed into a cotton coat before coming out.
Gu Jiandong hadn't come back yet, and Shen Shuyu and the children were eating roasted sweet potatoes by the fire.
"Mom, I want to eat hot pot tonight."
"Then let's have hot pot tonight."
There are spices at home, and my son wants to eat hot pot, so Shen Shuyu starts to fry the hot pot base.
Xiao An and Xiao Yan had never eaten hot pot before. When they heard Xiao Ze describe the taste of the hot pot, the two little guys drooled.
When the aroma of the hot pot base wafted out, the two children did not go anywhere but stood on tiptoe in the kitchen.
She kept staring at the hot pot base in the pot, "Big sister, can we eat it now? Xiao An wants to try it."
Xiaoyan wiped her saliva and expressed her desire to eat.
"You can't eat now. You can eat in the evening. You guys go out and play first."
The two children did not move, just sat in the kitchen, and when it got dark, the two children jumped up and down, "We can eat hot pot soon."
The vegetables are washed, and the water is boiled and the vegetables are put in to blanch and ready to eat. The kitchen cannot accommodate a large family.
Shen Shuyu cooked a lot of hot pot base, which she divided into four portions and let the people from the first, second and third rooms cook hot pot in their own kitchens.
Meat is best eaten in hot pot. We don't have much meat at home. We finished the wild boar meat we shared yesterday.
The first, second and third rooms all cook vegetarian dishes. They cook whatever is available at home. The base ingredients are fragrant and everything tastes good.
Adults and children are also satisfied with the meal.
While eating hot pot, Shen Erzhu came over and said that the roof of Shen Xue's house had collapsed, and called the three brothers Shen Jiabao to come over to help.
Uncle Shen was a little anxious. "Why did the roof collapse? Is Shen Xue okay?"
"No one is fine, they are just blaming me. It snowed for several days, and neither Zhou Jingchen nor Shen Xue swept the roof last time.
The snow is getting thicker and thicker, and the roof can’t bear it anymore, so it will collapse.”
Uncle Shen San and the three brothers Shen Jiabao went out.
Shen Qiu was also impressed by Zhou Jingchen and Shen Xue. She had never seen a roof without snow. If their roof was solid, she would not say anything.
Their roof was not solid at all. When they were putting up the beams to build the roof, they were reluctant to spend money on materials.
I don't know where the wood was picked up from, but the guy who was putting up the beams said the wood was not strong.
If the snow is not cleared in time, the roof beams will easily collapse. Despite this, they don't take it to heart.
"Mom, I'll go over and take a look." Shen Qiu was full. He put down the bowl and strode out the door. Before leaving, he asked Shen Shuyu if she wanted to go over to watch the fun.
Shen Shuyu was not interested in watching Shen Xue crying and shouting, "You go ahead, I'm not full yet."
When Uncle Shen San and his men came over, Shen Xue was sitting in the middle of the yard, crying as she looked at the half-collapsed house.
"Is God going to let us live? I only have one house. If it collapses, where will our family live?"
Zhou Jingchen hid in the corner and shivered. He was lying on the kang at the time and felt something was wrong.
He ran out without even putting on his cotton coat. Now he couldn't get it even if he wanted to because the coat was buried inside.
"Xiaoxue, stop howling. If you don't feel cold, take off your cotton coat and give it to me."
