"That's right!" While responding, Wei Hai turned around and urged: "Why, a cup of tea can last you three to five years..."
"Hey! This kid is asleep!"
"How can this be done?"
"He hasn't had his wedding yet!"
Everyone looked up and saw Li Xunshan, whose cheek was pinched by Wei Hai, with his head hanging on his hand and fell asleep.
If it weren't for Wei Hai's hand holding him up, he might have fallen down right now.
Gu Ning'an waved her hand and said, "Just let him sleep for a while. Anyway, I have to wait until Xu Shi to see if any other villagers come to eat the flowing water mat."
"They have a long time to come, and the bridal chamber is not in a hurry for this moment."
"That makes sense." In response, Wei Hai moved Li Xunshan to a position so that he could lean against the door so that he would not fall down.
Half an hour later, the scattered villagers who came to eat the running water mats had all left one after another.
The servants and maids outside were also very quick in their movements. It didn't take long to clean up the slightly messy courtyard and the flowing mats on the long street outside the courtyard.
Wei Hai looked around and was about to wake Li Xunshan up and send him into the bridal chamber when the maid at the entrance of the courtyard suddenly said to him: "Sir, the running mat has been cleared away today. Why don't you come back tomorrow?" This will take three days!"
Behind the courtyard wall, a plainly dressed middle-aged woman stepped forward and showed a slightly embarrassed smile: "No, I'm not here to eat. I just want to get a wedding drink to take back to my son."
"Wedding wine is auspicious, I want to be happy."
In the courtyard, Gu Ning'an and his party, who were standing at the door of the main hall, saw this scene. Except for Wei Hai, who was facing the wooden door of the main hall, the others lowered their heads to see if there was any unopened wine jar.
Clang!
Li Xunshan, who was sleeping and snoring, suddenly stood up. The wooden chair under him was knocked over by him. He squinted his eyes and shouted to the woman at the door of the courtyard: "Auntie! Are you ready for the wedding wine?" , there must be wedding wine! I’ll find it for you!”
Li Xunshan spoke, and the maid naturally didn't intend to pay attention. She nodded and smiled at the woman, and left quickly with the dinner plate in her hand.
The middle-aged woman crossed the threshold and walked into the courtyard. She raised her hands and said with a smile, "This is the groom, right? Happy wedding!"
Li Xunshan lowered his head to search for the wine. When he heard this, he raised his head and responded: "Thank you, thank you! Please wait for me for a while, and I will personally find you an unopened jar of wedding wine."
"Hey! There's no need to go to such trouble. Wherever there are some Fugen left, just give me a pot. Oh no, just one cup." The middle-aged woman waved her hands repeatedly.
"That's not possible! Just wait for me for a while!"
Seeing what the groom had said, the middle-aged woman was no longer polite. While the man was looking for a drink, she looked around at the decorations in the courtyard and couldn't help but sigh: "Feeling happy, beautiful, it's a wedding. I’m afraid this is the most exciting time in a person’s life.”
"If nothing happens to my Chao'er, I'm afraid..."
Chaoer?
After Gu Ning'an and Wen Songmo looked at each other, they looked at Wei Hai, who was standing straight and facing the door without moving his head.
They remembered that Wei Hai once called his son "Chao'er". His real name was Wei Chao. Since his parents were close, they naturally called him "Chao'er".
It's not hard to find someone with the same name, but Wei Hai's reaction was very funny.
As soon as the middle-aged woman's figure appeared, he immediately changed from facing the courtyard door to facing directly with his back to the courtyard door, and he "faced the wall and thought about his faults."
According to common sense, with his "old father" temperament, how could he stand here like a "wooden pillar" without saying a word when a guest came to ask for a wedding drink?
"Your wife?" Gu Ning'an spoke in a low voice, only Wei Hai and Wen Songmo beside him could hear her.
Wei Hai said nothing, but his eyes blinked hard.
Seeing this situation, Wen Songmo cleared his throat, covered his mouth and whispered: "What, are you going to hide?"
Wei Hai continued to blink hard and waited, then shouted in a very small voice: "Brother Wen!"
Rolling his eyes, Wen Songmo did not continue to say or do anything. After all, "an honest official cannot handle household affairs." Wei Hai did not want to take this opportunity to meet his wife, so he would not deliberately point it out.
At any rate, this guy called him "Brother" because of this, didn't he?
"Yes!" Li Xunshan exclaimed, then rushed forward, hugged Wei Hai's thigh, lifted it hard, and directly carried it on his shoulders!
"You brat! What are you doing!"
"Put me down!"
Wei Hai pinched his throat and lowered his voice.
"Ouch! This wine is really refreshing." After steadying himself, Li Xunshan slowly turned around.
"Mr. Gu!" Wei Hai pinched his throat and looked at Gu Ning'an with pleading eyes.
Hearing this, Gu Ning'an took a step forward, reached out and patted Li Xunshan on the shoulder: "Okay, you have to move Wei... let him down."
Li Xunshan, who was still drunk, felt a cool feeling on his shoulders. His hazy eyes suddenly became clearer. He subconsciously removed Wei Hai and was silent for a moment: "I'm sorry, I drank a little too much." ..."
When there was no response, Wei Hai quickly took a step to the side and walked straight into the main hall.
"Brother, are you angry?" Li Xunshan pointed at Wei Hai's leaving figure and scratched his head in embarrassment.
Gu Ning'an picked up an unopened jar of wedding wine and stuffed it into Li Xunshan's hand: "Don't worry about him, you promised me the wedding wine, and they have been waiting for you for a long time, but you are here to put on a show for them."
Snapped!
Li Xunshan slapped his forehead. After taking the drink, he hurriedly ran to the middle-aged woman and said with a smile, "I'm sorry, Auntie, for keeping you waiting."
The middle-aged woman looked away from the main hall and responded with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter... It's normal to drink a little more on the big day."
"But you should drink less alcohol on weekdays. It's not good for your health."
Li Xunshan smiled naively and said, "Hey, I remembered it."
"Okay, then I won't be too polite to you. You should go to the bridal chamber to accompany the bride. Don't let her wait for you for too long." After receiving the wedding wine, the middle-aged woman turned around and left quickly.
"Auntie, walk slowly." After shouting, Li Xunshan took three steps at a time and then two steps back to the main hall.
At this moment, Wei Hai was sitting at the table. He found half a jar of wedding wine from somewhere, hugged the jar and started drinking.
Gu Ning'an and Wen Songmo hugged each other, and the other looked at him with a playful smile.
"What do you keep watching me do?" Wei Hai asked impatiently after taking a sip of wine.
Wen Songmo sighed: "When do you plan to go back? Then we will accompany you."
"No need, I'll find some time and go back by myself." Wei Hai waved his hand and continued to drink.
"What's wrong, what's wrong, why are you drinking again?" Li Xunshan, who was confused, came up and asked, "Go back, where are you going?"
Gudong~gudong~gudong!
After draining half of the jar of wine in one breath, Wei Hai slapped the jar of wine on the table and wiped his mouth: "I'm tired, go back to sleep."
