Siheyuan: Since 51

It’s Chinese New Year again, and it’s more lively than usual.

Wu Xia seemed to have endless worries and endless words to say.

Standing at the door.

"Zhihao, don't fire all the cannons, we'll need to hear some more before dinner starts!"

Sitting in the living room.

"Xiaoyu, don't run around, let's make dumplings together later."

Turn into the kitchen.

"Liangzi, can we replace the dragon stew with chicken?"

……

Amid the chatter, with the sound of cannon fire, the New Year's Eve dinner began.

Fenjiu, Beibingyang, downgraded Northeastern dishes, braised fish, stir-fried shredded pork...

In short, in one word, abundance; in one word, luxury!

Laughter and joy.

After more than an hour, the women left the table.

Lin Jialiang brought three younger generations and the four men of the Lin family started drinking.

"Zhiyuan, come on, today, we won't go home until we are drunk."

After saying that, he looked at Lin Zhihui and said, "Zhihui, you can't fall behind either. Drink as much as you can."

Lin Zhihao was eager to try, "Dad, I'll go with you too."

"Go away, your hair hasn't even fully grown yet, why are you drinking wine? Drink your Arctic Ocean!"

Lin Zhihao curled his lips and said, "Let me try it!"

Lin Zhihui said with a bitter face, "Second Uncle, why don't I drink Arctic Ocean too!"

Lin Zhiyuan couldn't help but laugh, "Zhihao, wait a few more years, Zhihui, it's the New Year, let's have some fun."

……

It’s less than ten o’clock.

Lin Zhihui's eyes were blurry and he leaned on the sofa in a daze.

Lin Zhihao drank too much Beibingyang and felt bloated and uncomfortable.

The two were asked to go back to Lin Zhihao's room to rest, while Lin Jialiang and Lin Zhiyuan chatted and drank cup after cup.

As the cups were passed around, each person drank half a pound more.

Lin Zhiyuan only felt that there were double images in front of his eyes, and his mind was a little dazed.

Lin Jialiang staggered and sighed deeply.

"I have been away from home for a long time, wearing military uniforms, and have experienced many years of fighting and hardships.

Thousands of miles of battlefields grind your bones, and thousands of flames of war temper your heart.

When I returned to my hometown, the city was still the same, but my parents were withering and I shed tears.

Where is the warmth of the past now? I will only drink a glass of wine to express my true feelings. "

After reciting the poem, he picked up the wine cup and drank it all in one gulp.

……

Hangover overnight.

The next morning, little Shufan slapped Lin Zhiyuan's face with his two little hands.

Lin Zhiyuan shook his head and suddenly opened his eyes.

Little Shufan was startled, then he started to giggle, "Dad, you're such a lazy bum!"

Lin Zhiyuan forced himself to be strong, stretched out his hand and gently pushed Xiao Shufan aside.

Little Shufan sat up again, came over with a grin, and said, "Dad, get up."

Lin Zhiyuan rubbed his swollen head with his hand and frowned as he recalled how much he drank last night, how it ended, and how he ended up in bed. He had no memory at all.

I only vaguely remember that Lin Jialiang seemed to be in a poetic mood, reciting one poem after another and drinking one cup of tea after another.

"Brother Zhiyuan, get up quickly when you wake up. It will be daylight soon, and it will be embarrassing if someone blocks your bed."

Hearing Qin Huairu's words, Lin Zhiyuan patted his cheek and said, "Okay, I'll get up right away."

Little Shufan stuck out his tongue and said, "Lazy bastard, hahahaha."

While Lin Zhiyuan was putting on his clothes, he scolded with a smile: "Xiao Shufan, do you want to be beaten?"

"No!" After saying that, he turned around and ran to Qin Huairu, "Mom, hold me."

Everyone was quiet until dinner time. Lin Zhiyuan felt strange and looked around.

Lin Jialiang showed a hint of embarrassment.

Qin Huairu and Lin Manyu covered their mouths and laughed.

Lin Zhihao and Lin Zhihui looked very strange.

He thought that he had drunk too much last night and said something nonsense. Lin Zhiyuan asked with a smile: "Why are you looking at me like that?"

Wu Xia took a bite of the food and said leisurely, "Shouldn't I take a closer look? You two, uncle and nephew, drank too much, one wrote a poem, the other sang a song, that scene...tsk tsk tsk tsk!"

Lin Manyu pursed her lips at first, but then seemed unable to help herself and laughed out loud.

"Brother, don't you remember what happened last night? You sang beautifully."

Lin Zhiyuan secretly swallowed his saliva. Singing? I don’t remember having a habit of singing when I’m drunk?

"What did I sing?"

Qin Huairu smiled and said, "Brother, give me a hug. We don't know what happened next because you sang it vaguely. We didn't hear it clearly and didn't remember it. But we heard this sentence clearly."

Lin Zhiyuan glanced sideways at Lin Jialiang and frowned slightly.

"Uncle, I won't hold you and sing, right?"

Lin Jialiang's face was full of black lines. He waved his chopsticks and said, "Eat, eat!"

"Hahaha!"

After everyone laughed, Lin Zhihao's eyes rolled around.

"Brother, do you still remember how to sing it? I was woken up by the noise and came over here. It sounded really good."

Lin Zhiyuan snorted and rolled his eyes, "I don't remember."

Next, Lin Jialiang still dragged Lin Zhiyuan to drink.

However, both the uncle and nephew knew their limits and did not drink too much.

As for Lin Zhihui, after accompanying him for a few days, he couldn't stand it anymore, and on the afternoon of the sixth day of the New Year, still drunk, he hurried back to school.

Two days later, Lin Jialiang took the lyrics and music and headed north.

After several days of consideration, Lin Zhiyuan finally chose "A Man Should Be Self-reliant".

Lin Jialiang didn't understand the music, so he read the lyrics once and asked Lin Zhiyuan to hum it again. He was quite satisfied.

As for Wu Xia, after starting work, she has become busier than last year for some reason.

After the carnival, things will always return to calm.

The liveliness of the small courtyard suddenly dropped by several percentage points.

On March 3st, a terrifying roar was heard from the Bikini Reef in the Pacific Ocean, shocking the world.

Saturday the 10nd.

After get off work, Lin Zhiyuan returned home.

As soon as I entered the room, I was stunned to find that Lin Zhihui was at home, playing with building blocks with Xiao Shufan.

"Zhihui, why are you back again? Is school busy? Or is there something wrong?"

Lin Zhihui kept moving his hands, glanced sideways, and said with a smile: "Brother, you will be busy in a while, come back and relax for a few days."

Lin Zhiyuan was very pleased and walked forward and sat down next to him.

"Good, good, you finally know how to combine work and rest."

Lin Zhihui was stunned for a moment, then chuckled, "Well, my senior brother said that he would be very busy later and would have no time to rest, so I thought about coming back to accompany you guys."

Lin Zhiyuan poured himself a glass of water, frowned and asked, "Why, are you so busy with schoolwork?"

Lin Zhihui's eyes flickered, and after a few seconds, he pretended to be surprised and said, "My senior brother told me that a technology expert has returned from the United States, and we all have the opportunity to learn from him."

At first, Lin Zhiyuan didn't take it seriously, but when he thought about it suddenly, his brows furrowed.

Beautiful country, could it be Mr. Qian?

Getting busy, could it be a shocking plan?

After pondering for a long time, he thought that if it was really a shocking plan, it would be useless to ask, so he began to ask indirectly, and asked with a smile: "What did your senior brother say?"

"They didn't say anything, just asked me to come back for a week and emphasized that I should completely relax."

"Technology expert, who is it? Can you tell me?"

"I can only say his last name is Qian."

Hearing this, Lin Zhiyuan was in a state of uncertainty. He was reluctant to let her go, but also had no way to keep her. He neither pointed it out nor dwelled on the topic.

He stared at Lin Zhihui for a long time before looking up and smiling.

"Okay, let's have a good drink tonight. You ran away before, but you can't hide tonight."
