Chapter 66
Shen Qiaoyi hooked her neck: "Yuanbao, do you miss me? Do you want to mark me again?"
Lu Zhiyuan raised his face to look at her, his heart was burnt, he gave a low "hmm", and then hurriedly added: "It's better to wait until your health is better..."
"I'm sure I'm healthy." Shen Qiaoyi hooked her neck and pressed down, sucking on her lips: "Yuanbao, carry me to bed."
Just when Lu Zhiyuan was about to be crushed by the little fox, Granny Luo came from the corner of the corridor carrying two big wine jars.
Lu Zhiyuan patted Shen Qiaoyi on the shoulder: "Come down quickly, mother-in-law is here."
Shen Qiaoyi turned her face sideways, caught the petite figure of Granny Luo, jumped off Lu Zhiyuan's lap, and stood upright.
Granny Luo's eyes were sharp, but she moved very slowly. When she walked to the corridor, she saw two overlapping shadows. She wanted to hide, but she dropped the jar, making a big commotion.
Lu Zhiyuan hurried over to pick up the jar from the lawn, Shen Qiaoyi approached slowly with a blushing face, and said in a timid voice, "Mother-in-law, what are you doing with the two jars in your arms?"
Granny Luo smiled slowly: "We in Tongcheng, every family has the habit of brewing wine, that is, brewing wine from Tongcheng's unique green plums, and waiting for the whole family to get together for a New Year's Eve dinner during the Chinese New Year, paired with self-brewed plum wine , is the happiest thing."
Lu Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows lightly, and echoed repeatedly: "Tongcheng plum wine is really unique. If you get Wujiu and sell it, it will be very popular."
Granny Luo laughed even deeper: "Our young lady is very quick-witted, she always wants to be ahead of others, and mother-in-law will teach you how to make wine later."
Shen Qiaoyi moved to Granny Luo's side, patting her shoulder flatteringly: "Grandma, I want to learn too."
"Wow!" Granny Luo didn't expect her to be so popular, and she felt a sense of pride: "Then help her move the jar to the yard."
Shen Qiaoyi and Lu Zhiyuan were holding a wine jar, and the stone table in the yard was covered with green plums that had just been picked. Granny Luo washed the green plums, and Shen Qiaoyi squatted beside her like a studious child.
Granny Luo moved the wine jar to her, and taught her patiently: "Later, put the washed green plums into the jar, pour some white wine, and spread a layer of rock sugar..."
Following her example, Shen Qiaoyi put the green plums into the jar one by one, and Lu Zhiyuan stood by her side, pouring liquor for her sometimes, and cooperating perfectly with each other.
Shen Qiaoyi put the rock sugar and green plums layer by layer, then poured all the remaining white wine into the jar, covering the green plums, and finally tied it tightly with hemp rope to seal it.
Standing aside, Lu Zhiyuan picked up a green plum and stuffed it into his mouth. He saw her tying the hemp rope at the end of his eyes. The knotting technique was exactly the same as that day when he taught her to play on the bed.
She leaned over to Shen Qiaoyi, stuffed a plum into her mouth, and smiled wickedly: "You're a quick learner, but this jar is different from your ankle, so you can't prick it like this."
Shen Qiaoyi reacted belatedly, reached into the water basin, scooped up a ladle of water and poured it on her body: "You're laughing at me again."
Lu Zhiyuan hid aside, his shoulders trembled with a smile: "Who made you so easy to deceive?"
"You...hate..." Shen Qiaoyi reached into the barrel with both hands, chased after her to splash after getting wet: "Don't hide..."
Lu Zhiyuan hid behind Granny Luo and circled her. Shen Qiaoyi didn't dare to splash water on the elder. She was so angry that she only gritted her teeth and wanted to speak harshly, but because of the presence of the elder, she didn't dare to be too presumptuous.
Granny Luo smiled softly, stretched out her hand and patted Lu Zhiyuan's thigh: "Naughty, let Yiyi take care of you at night."
Shen Qiaoyi:! ! !
Mother-in-law, as expected of you, you said everything she wanted to say.
Lu Zhiyuan:! ! !
Mother-in-law, what look do you have? I'm the one who cleans up people.
Shen Qiaoyi carried the sealed jar to the stone table, and Granny Luo turned her face and said with a smile, "Push it in again, it will be cooler inside."
"Store it in a cool place like this, and you can drink it in a month. When you take it out, put it in the refrigerator to freeze it, and the taste will be even better."
Shen Qiaoyi turned her head, her tone regretful: "It's still a month, I wish I could drink it now, it's a pity."
"What a pity." Granny Luo stood up and shook her hands, wiped her apron, then bent down, and pulled out a small glass bottle from the partition of the stone table: "Hey, this is brewed last year. There is only one bottle of plum wine left, do you want to try it?"
Shen Qiaoyi nodded sharply: "Yes!"
Granny Luo went into the kitchen and took a small bowl, poured some and handed it to her: "Drink and watch."
The taste is sweet, and it also has the unique fragrance of Tongcheng green plums. Shen Qiaoyi couldn't help but admire: "It's really delicious."
She took a sip and was not satisfied, and poured another full bowl.
Lu Zhiyuan pressed her hand, took the small bowl away: "Okay, just taste it, this wine has a lot of stamina, you will get drunk if you drink it this way."
Shen Qiaoyi snatched it over and whispered in her ear, "It's better to be drunk. Anyway, I stay alone in the empty room every day, and I can't sleep for a long night."
Lu Zhiyuan:? ? ?
Is there any direct relationship between drunkenness and staying alone?
The tone is still weird, as if it is connoting something.
Lu Zhiyuan looked at her sternly: "You are still in the dependent period, don't you think about it?"
Shen Qiaoyi admitted her cowardice very quickly, raised her watery eyes, and sniffed half-truthfully: "I'll just take another sip."
As he spoke, he poured some plum wine into another small bowl, and brought it to Granny Luo's lips: "Grandma, you drink too."
Granny Luo waved her hands again and again: "It's not going to happen, Granny will have to work later."
"Is there any work that Yuanbao and I will do for you, besides..." Shen Qiaoyi pointed to Meng Ziyan's room on the sixth floor, where there was a faint warm yellow light: "Look, Mommy has already rested .”
Shen Qiaoyi quietly raised her right foot, and lightly kicked Lu Zhiyuan: "Yuanbao, go to the kitchen and bring the chair here, and let's have a drink with mother-in-law."
Lu Zhiyuan was stunned for a moment, not knowing what Shen Qiaoyi was going to do, seeing her keep pouting and winking at him, subconsciously cooperated with her: "Okay, I'll move."
Lu Zhiyuan moved a chair, walked around to Shen Qiaoyi, and asked in a low voice, "What are you going to do?"
Shen Qiaoyi blinked her almond eyes mysteriously: "Don't you want to know?"
Lu Zhiyuan was stunned: "Know what?"
Shen Qiaoyi: "What happened between your two mothers?"
How come... don't want to know?
Ever since Lu Zhiyuan was sensible, he felt that his family was different from other families. His grandmother seemed to be particularly fond of Qin Mian, and his mother was responsive to her requests.
In Lu Zhiyuan's impression, Qin Mian seemed to appear beside her mother all the time.
Even at her elementary school graduation ceremony, other families took pictures of a family of three, but in her photo there were four people, and the fourth person was none other than Qin Mian.
Over time, Mommy finally couldn't take it anymore, and moved back to the old house of Meng's family in a fit of anger.
Lu Zhiyuan was still young at that time, and could only express her anger and dissatisfaction in the simplest way. She yelled at Qin Mian and told this unwelcome person to leave her home.
But the ending is: Qin Mian stayed at Lu's house perfectly, but she knelt in the backyard hut all night.
That night, she knelt in the hut and saw a pair of tablets on the candlestick.
Only later did she know that the pair of tablets were Qin Mian's biological parents.
"Yuanbao, come here quickly."
Shen Qiaoyi's voice pulled Lu Zhiyuan out of her memories, she walked over with a chair, Shen Qiaoyi graciously supported Granny Luo to sit down and acted softly: "Look, grandma, how beautiful the night is tonight, Yuan and I Bao chat with you."
Shen Qiaoyi's intimate behavior also made Granny Luo feel comforted, she smiled and nodded: "Okay."
Shen Qiaoyi poured two glasses of plum wine, touched Grandma Luo, and then chatted.
The topic at first was all about how to make pancakes. When Granny Luo was three points drunk, Shen Qiaoyi changed the subject: "Grandma, did you take Mommy with her when she was very young? Mommy She looks so pretty, and she must have been cute when she was a child."
Speaking of Meng Ziyan, Granny Luo couldn't hide her pride: "No, our Ayan is a well-known beauty in Tongcheng, and the only cellist to sit in the Z country theater. She not only has a good personality, but also has a high degree of education. People who came to ask for marriage almost broke the threshold of the Meng family."
Granny Luo took a sip of plum wine, her voice lowered, with an inexplicable sigh: "But she has identified Lu Yuexi, and no one else has looked down on her."
Granny Luo looked up at the sky. Tonight was a rare night, with bright moonlight and twinkling stars.
The moonlight shines through the window sill behind her, illuminating her face in two pieces, one half is orange and the other half is dark.
Granny Luo lowered her eyes slowly, the light in her eyes was hidden in the darkness, reflecting the tears from the corners of her eyes: "This is fate..."
"Mother-in-law..." Lu Zhiyuan held Granny Luo's arm, looking earnestly: "I want to know what happened between Mommy and Mommy, but they won't talk about it...".
Granny Luo looked over, her eyes mottled with mist: "What can I change if I know it?"
Shen Qiaoyi also squatted down, holding Granny Luo's arm: "But... Yuan Bao has grown up, she can tell right from wrong, and she has the right to know everything..."
Shen Qiaoyi's voice faded: "Mother-in-law, Yuan Bao is the biggest victim of this marriage...you can tell her."
Granny Luo lowered her head and fell into a long silence, seemingly still hesitating.
Shen Qiaoyi gently shook her arm: "Grandma..."
Granny Luo finally raised her head, and patted Lu Zhiyuan's hand on her arm: "Master always disagrees with this marriage. She saw that the adopted daughter of the Lu family ... was Qin Mian, and she saw her affection for Lu Yuexi." thought."
"But Lu Yuexi has repeatedly promised that he will find someone to marry Qin Mian, and Ah Yan loves her to death, the master really can't help it, so he can only agree."
"Facts have proved that the master is right. Qin Mian is not a fuel-efficient lamp. Relying on the affection of her dead parents, she has never paid attention to Ah Yan..."
Shen Qiaoyi asked anxiously, "Qin Mian's parents?"
Granny Luo frowned, and her tone was repressed and unwilling: "Yes, two lives are indeed a great kindness, and their Lu family regards Qin Mian's parents as a great benefactor, and they want to praise Qin Mian, an orphan, to the world. In the sky, we can't control..."
"But what does this have to do with our Meng family? Our Meng family doesn't owe Qin Mian's parents, and Lu Yuexi wants to repay his favor, so why bother to provoke us, Ah Yan, their Lu family is just a group..."
When Granny Luo talked about Lu Yuexi and Lu Zhiyuan's grandmother, her tone suddenly rose, her expression could not conceal her resentment and disdain.
When she mentioned the excitement, her whole body trembled with anger, but when she saw Lu Zhiyuan quietly closing her eyelids, she couldn't bear it after all, and didn't say the ugly words out of her mouth.
Shen Qiaoyi poured green plum wine with insight, and had a drink with Granny Luo, and the atmosphere became more natural again.
Granny Luo put down the small bowl, and continued: "When Lu Yuexi was ten years old, he went back to his hometown with Mrs. Lu to worship his ancestors. He was kidnapped halfway. The kidnappers took the ransom from the Lu family, but they didn't release Lu Yuexi and threw her into the river behind the mountain. pool."
"The kidnapper was Qin Mian's uncle. Qin Mian's parents accidentally found Lu Yuexi in the deep pool and rescued her. But her uncle soon discovered that Qin Mian's parents died in order to buy time for Lu Yuexi. Holding her uncle to death, he was chopped into pieces..."
"Oh my god, cut it into pieces... Shen Qiaoyi covered her mouth, her eyes widened in horror, and she was speechless for a long time.
Lu Zhiyuan's heart was also turbulent. She only knew today what kind of person the tablet in the backyard hut is.
Granny Luo gave them a heavy look, and continued, "Qin Mian was only seven years old at that time, she lost her parents and had no one to rely on, her only relatives were her grandparents..."
"Her grandparents lived with her eldest aunt, and her eldest aunt hated Qin Mian's parents so much, but even so, Qin Mian survived unscathed. It is conceivable that she should have What kind of scheming method?"
"Not only did she survive, but a few months later when Mrs. Lu returned to her hometown, Qin Mian actually ran in front of her to please her and coax the old lady to take her in. This old lady did not know what tricks she used to persuade the grandparents of the Qin family to handle it herself. After completing the adoption procedures, seven-year-old Qin Mian was brought back to the Lu family."
Shen Qiaoyi refilled Granny Luo's wine: "Then what happened next?"
Granny Luo drank a lot, and her eyes were a little wandering: "Later... Ah Yan and Lu Yuexi fell in love. After Qin Mian found out, they quarreled for a while, but they still got married."
"Maybe because she thought it was useless to cry and make trouble, Qin Mian started to pretend to be weak and pitiful in front of Lu Yuexi, but she had a different face in front of Ah Yan..."
"Our Ah Yan is a well-educated rich daughter after all. She is proud and arrogant. Even if she is wronged or wronged, she doesn't bother to explain."
"Qin Mian just grasped Ah Yan's temperament, so he had the opportunity to provoke the relationship between their wives and wives."
Granny Luo couldn't hold it anymore, her head was shaking: "The most abhorrent thing is...she actually acted as a demon on the day of my wife's burial...take Ah Yan away...it will take eight years...that Qin Mian who hurt people Refined……"
"But……"
Shen Qiaoyi still has a question in her heart: "Why did Yuanbao's mother leave for so long, and her mother didn't marry Qin Mian?"
Granny Luo was probably drunk, and she fell on the stone table. Shen Qiaoyi shook her arm: "Grandma, grandma..."
Lu Zhiyuan gently tugged at her: "Forget it, don't ask, it's meaningless to ask now..."
Shen Qiaoyi looked at her slightly sideways, and saw that her peach blossom eyes were covered with a layer of gray, which was light, but she couldn't see to the end.
Yeah, what's the point?
Can Meng Ziyan's youth be regained?Can Lu Zhiyuan's neglected childhood be made up for?
"Baby, Granny Luo is drunk, I'll help her back to her room to rest, you sit and wait for me, I'll be right back."
Shen Qiaoyi nodded, her cheeks were slightly pink.
