The chopping board was chopped loudly, and An'er was woken up. The other children in the village also woke up. They all knew that there was a banquet to eat today. They were so excited that they ran to call An'er.

"Get up, let's go play."

An'er was called away by her brothers and sisters, so she put on her clothes and shoes and went out with them. Sister Xiaohua is used to taking care of her younger siblings, so she helped him put on his clothes and shoes without using him much.

The aroma of the food wafted out quickly.

The aroma of stewed chicken, steamed steamed buns, fried meat, as well as the aroma of green vegetables and cold vegetables, mixed together and filled the entire village.

The children were very excited, screaming, and ran from the east to the west of the village, and then from the south to the north.

When it was almost time for dinner, the elders stopped him: "Go, bring the table and stool out."

No one can sit down, so don't sit in the house, set the banquet in the village, and everyone eats outside the house.

The children are very happy to do this, lift the table to carry the table, carry the bench to carry the bench, and the smarter will follow the chopsticks.

This banquet was well organized and cost Shaoyin twenty taels of silver. There is a chicken on a table, a fish on a table, an elbow on a table, and there are hot dishes, cold dishes, and soups, and steamed buns are enough.

Men and women of all ages are satisfied.

Gu Tingyuan sat at a table with several respected elders in the village and drank some wine. This time can't refuse, can't vomit quietly, have to drink it in earnest.

Talk while drinking.

There was a scholar in the village, and it was a very embarrassing thing to say it out. The elders asked him about the affairs of the officialdom while thinking about his future. No one has ever been an official, and only told him to rely on imagination. He also said that he should not forget the villagers and their own children.

Gu Tingyuan agreed.

Naturally, there are some who are not sensible, but they are all pushed down by the elders. On this day, no one is allowed to make trouble.

It was a lively day, and the sun went west before dispersing.

Each family moved back to their respective tables and chairs, and cleaned up the dishes and chopsticks. Some leftover meals, Shaoyin asked everyone to pick and take home, and got a lot of praise.

She smiled and didn't care about it, she took the broom to clean the mess in and out of the yard. An'er shared the toys with the little friends. He only kept two that he liked very much. The other one and two were divided.

It's not that he's tired of playing, but that he is about to leave here, and he feels very sad, so it's better.

The little friends got toys, howled and ran away, showing off everywhere. In a blink of an eye, An'er was the only one left.

He lowered his eyebrows, unhappy. Shaoyin walked over and touched his head: "You will meet new friends."

"Well." An'er turned around and hugged her mother, burying her face in her lap.

Gu Tingyuan was drunk for the first time in his life.

He was left by the elders to come back in the evening, his cheeks flushed and his steps staggered. As soon as he entered the yard, he rushed towards Shaoyin and hugged her regardless.

"Miss..."

"Sound Sound..."

He seemed to have been washed away by alcohol, and his inner emotions leaked out uncontrollably, pestering her not to let go.

An'er opened her eyes wide and stood in the courtyard curiously, looking at her father and mother.

"Your father is drunk." Shaoyin said to him, "I will help him in."

Although An'er is smart, he is still young, and he doesn't understand things between adults. I just thought it was interesting to be "drunk", and my father turned into a limp.

He diligently opened the door, ran into the room, climbed onto the bed, and dragged the quilt aside so that Shaoyin could help Gu Tingyuan to go to bed.

"An'er is really good." Shaoyin praised.

Gu Tingyuan pulled her sleeve unwillingly, looked at her with wet eyes and said, "I'm good too."

"Yes, you are good too." Shaoyin knew that he had worked hard. For socializing, it sounds like you just need to sit there, hold a wine glass, and eat and drink, but it's really not a pleasant thing.

So, he lowered his head and kissed him on the forehead, and said, "I'll twist the towel to wipe your face."

This kiss made Gu Tingyuan obedient immediately.

Shaoyin wiped his face and hands, fed him some warm water, and then he fell asleep. When she fell asleep, she held her hand.

Shaoyin gently opened it, covered him with a quilt, and went with An'er to the kitchen for dinner.

Gu Tingyuan woke up in the middle of the night. After the convenience, his stomach growled, and he was a little hungry.

Shaoyin guessed it long ago and said, "The rice is warm in the pot, you can go."

The night was as cool as water, but Gu Tingyuan only felt warm all over his body. He ate the meal his wife had reserved for him, and then came back with a mouthwash.

Shaoyin hadn't slept yet, and counted the accounts to him: "It cost 18 taels of silver in total, and the odds and ends are not counted. We still have..."

Gu Tingyuan was a little dissatisfied when he listened to it. He took her into his arms, put her on his arm, put one hand on her waist, and wrapped her whole body in his arms before continuing to listen to her. .

The husband and wife calculated the accounts and talked about the arrangements for the next few days. They stopped talking until it was very late at night.

That night, Gu Tingyuan still couldn't get close to his wife.

The next day, he went to the county seat to find a house.

After working hard, it only took three days to rent the house.

There are not many belongings, so it is not difficult to move, and the village has also helped, and the move is completed in one day.

On the night he moved into his new home, Gu Tingyuan couldn't help but wanted to do something with his wife to celebrate. But the son was so excited that he didn't sleep for a long time, which made him feel bad and didn't look good.

When his son finally fell asleep, he said to his wife, "We have more rooms, let him move out to sleep."

Shaoyin thought about it and said, "Let's celebrate the new year."

They had just moved to a new house, and the child was still a little strange, so it was a bit inappropriate for him to suddenly sleep alone.

"Sleep in separate beds first, and make him a small bed." Let the child get used to it, after all, he has always slept with his parents before.
