Away from the big book, the educated youth became the village favorite by running errands

Zhu Qin was stunned by Song Guangzong's slap, and it took her a long time to come back to her senses.

"Song Guangzong, you dare to hit me! I will fight you!" Zhu Qin was not to be outdone and reached out to grab Song Guangzong's face.

Song Guangzong was caught off guard and was grabbed on the face by Zhu Qin.

How could Old Mrs. Zhang and Aunt Song watch their son being beaten by a woman, so they stepped forward to take sides.

Zhu Qin definitely couldn't beat three people alone, not to mention that Old Lady Zhang had the help of a walking stick.

What's more, Mrs. Zhang's aim was surprisingly accurate. The bullets didn't hit anyone else, but Zhu Qin.

Zhu Qin let go of Song Guangzong in pain. Aunt Song pushed her and she sat down on the ground. Song Guangzong was still not satisfied and kicked her twice more.

It was Uncle Song who stopped Song Guangzong, "Guangzong, stop it! How can you hit your wife on New Year's Day?"

Aunt Song suddenly became concerned and pulled Song Guangzong aside, trying to persuade him to calm down.

If her son beats his daughter-in-law away, she will have to cook dinner alone tonight!

How can that work.

Zhu Qin was beaten for no apparent reason. She was angry and sad. She ran back to the house, put on her cotton coat and ran away without even taking her child with her.

When Aunt Song chased after him, the man had already disappeared.

After returning to the house and telling the matter to Old Lady Zhang and the others, Song Guangzong still didn't care and shouted, "Let her go! I want to see how long she can stay at her parents' home! I don't believe she can give up the child!"

The aunt was so angry that she slapped her thigh. What the hell is this?

The family had no meat to eat during the Chinese New Year, and Song Lao San chased her back twice. Her daughter-in-law also ran back to her parents' home! All the work fell on her.

Song Yaozu, who was lying in the room, listened silently to the noise outside, without any reaction in his heart.

……

At this time, at Song Shuangshuang's home, Song's mother had already started cooking, and Song Shuangshuang and Song Youlin were helping in the kitchen.

Song's mother tried to chase the two away several times but failed. In the end, she had no choice but to ask them to be careful.

As soon as it got dark, the Song family’s New Year’s Eve dinner was ready.

This is the first time in all these years that the five of them have celebrated the New Year together.

Father Song was also very happy.

He took out a bottle of wine from the cupboard and poured himself a glass, as well as one for Mother Song and Brother Song.

"You two are still children, so stop drinking."

Song Shuangshuang and Song Youlin said, "Okay."

They didn't want to drink white wine, but beer was fine.

The family happily ate the New Year's Eve dinner together. Father Song didn't know whether he was happy or not, but he didn't eat much of the food and drank one glass of wine after another.

From that bottle of liquor, Brother Song and Mother Song only took a small sip each, and the rest of the bottle was finished by Father Song, who successfully got himself drunk.

Song Shuangshuang: "..."

Song Youlin: "..."

Just...they thought Song's father could drink a lot, is that it?

However, the brother and sister understood why Song's father drank so much after seeing his behavior afterwards.

After Song's father got drunk, he didn't act crazy and smash things. He just sat in front of the table and cried about how sorry he had been to Song's mother over the years and how he had wronged the children. He had no ability at all and could only let the whole family suffer with him.

When I got excited, I wanted to pour myself another glass, but there was no more in the bottle.

He directly snatched the small glass of wine that Brother Song had not finished and drank it before Brother Song had time to react.

"Youhui, Shuangshuang, Youlin! Dad is so sorry for you!! You have suffered so much injustice over the years!

If I hadn't been a loser, you two wouldn't have to go to the countryside and suffer!

You finally got back, and yet someone came to your door and pointed at you and scolded you.

It's because I can't stand up that you are being bullied like this."

When he got excited, Song's father raised his hand and slapped himself.

It was so loud.

The three siblings looked at each other, thinking that Father Song was really drunk.

Song Shuangshuang was grinning even more. Her father had been too cruel to her and her face was all swollen.

Seeing Song's father like this, Mother Song also wiped her tears and drank the half glass of wine in front of her.

Song Shuangshuang: "..."

This...is the New Year.

What's the matter with my parents drinking all the time?

I didn't realize before that the couple were really fond of wine.

Yeah, that’s right. Our family’s financial situation didn’t allow us to buy alcohol before.

Song Shuangshuang smacked her lips and thought, now she felt like drinking something.

Song Youlin noticed his sister's actions, moved his legs under the table, and kicked her to make her restrain herself. Why is it that a young girl should drink alcohol?

Song Shuangshuang curled her lips and said nothing.

Seeing that Song's father was almost unable to stop crying, Song Shuangshuang said

"Dad must have drunk too much. Brother, you and Youlin can help Dad go into the house and lie down for a while. I'll go get some sugar water to help Dad sober up."

"Row."

"Mom, why don't you come in and take a rest? You haven't been idle today. We'll call you after we finish cooking the dumplings."

That being said, Song Shuangshuang felt that there was a high probability that his father would not be able to get up.

After drinking this bottle of wine, won’t I be able to sleep until noon tomorrow?

Song's mother doesn't usually drink, but today she was affected by Song's father's emotions and drank a little.

This does make me feel a bit dizzy.

"You three brothers and sisters continue eating. Call me when it's time to cook dumplings in the evening. Mom will cook for you."

Song Shuangshuang agreed verbally and then went to cook sugar water.

It's actually honey.

Anyway, they drank too much and couldn't taste what it was.

After watching Father and Mother Song finish drinking the honey water, Song Shuangshuang came out with the cup and closed the bedroom door.

"Mom and Dad are lying down?" Brother Song asked in a low voice.

"Well, I came out after watching them finish drinking the sugar water. I think Dad will fall asleep soon."

The three siblings didn't actually eat much, but luckily the stove in the house was hot and the food was still warm, so the three of them sat down and continued eating.

During the meal, Song Youhui asked the siblings how they were doing in the countryside and whether they had experienced anything special.

Song Youhui's words were rather obscure, but the siblings still understood what he meant.

The eldest brother felt that he and his sister had suffered injustice in the countryside and had to change their personalities, especially Song Shuangshuang, whose change was too great.

The brother and sister couldn't really tell the truth, so they could only pretend that they didn't understand and laughed it off with Brother Song.

He said that the villagers were all very good-natured and nothing bad ever happened, which might be because he had spent a long time with them.

Sometimes when villagers quarreled, they would be dragged along to watch the fun. Over time, they became more talkative and their eloquence improved.

"That's good too." Song Youhui smiled and touched Song Shuangshuang's head.

As long as my sister won’t be bullied anymore.

There was also a meal of dumplings in the evening. The three brothers and sisters didn’t eat too much, so they had to leave room for the dumplings.

They took the food on the table to the kitchen together, and then the three of them sat in the main room and talked, chatting about the interesting things that had happened in the past year.

It was not until midnight when Song Shuangshuang and Song Youlin went to cook dumplings that eldest brother Song came into the room to help Song's father and mother get up.
