Three melons and two dates

This pair of little persimmons had indeed been carved by Xie Huanxiu for a long time.Everything was not going well for him in the previous year, and he was rarely seen smiling.

Seeing someone selling persimmons that day, I suddenly thought of the word "everything goes well".

Shuyan hopes that Xie Huanxiu will be able to do everything well in his life. He has no money to buy gold, silver and jade wares. Porcelain can be fired, but he thinks that porcelain is fragile, which is not good.

At the beginning Xie Huanxiu made a fuss about splitting firewood, but it inspired Shuyan. The wood is not only resistant to falling, but also easy to wear.So, he came up with the idea of ​​sending him a pair of eagles.

Shuyan is stupid in mind but dexterous in hand. After two days of learning from the craftsman, he learned how to carve.After learning it, I practiced at home while Xie Huanxiu was in school.

I practiced repeatedly many times, and after I carved it successfully, I tried to paint it again.He didn't remember how many times he failed, and after months of tossing and tossing, he finally made such a pair of satisfied little persimmons.

Now seeing the smile in Xie Huanxiu's eyes, Shu Yan felt that it was worth it.

Maybe Shuyan's "everything goes well" really played a role, Xie Huanxiu had a much more comfortable year than before, and the melancholy due to Ji Yuan's departure also diluted a lot.

The days of comfort always pass quickly, and soon the twelfth day of the first lunar month will come, and it is time for Xie Huanxiu and the others to return to the city.

Li Cuicui packed a pile of food and clothes for them as usual, Xie Jiu replaced Ji Yuan and told his son to study hard and take care of himself.In this way, they embarked on the road back to the city, full of the expectations and concerns of their families.

The first month is the New Year, and the students who have been separated for nearly 20 days wish each other New Year's greetings and greetings.They all just came back from home, and they were full of fun. Someone suggested that on the 15th Lantern Festival, we should go drinking together in the evening.

Xie Huanxiu also wanted to go, but he couldn't drink, so he was about to refuse.

Lin Xinian, who saw his intentions, invited him first, "Huan Xiu, let's go together, it's good if you don't know how to drink and join in the fun."

When Xie Huanxiu saw Lin Xinian saying this, he didn't evade any more, and agreed without hesitation. "Okay, let's go together then."

He readily agreed at the moment, and when he got home from school, his classmates started moaning.

"On the fifteenth day, I made an appointment with my classmates to go out together, so I can't have dinner with you at home."

"Oh." Shu Yan was a little disappointed, so he responded casually, but then he thought, it's a good thing for Xie Huanxiu to go out with others, he was really dull before, but now he is cheerful, and it was only after he made good friends with Lin Xinian and the others.

"Then we will have Yuanxiao for breakfast the day after tomorrow."

"Aren't you worried about them asking me out for a drink?"

"But you don't even know how to drink! ... You wait."

Xie Huanxiu wanted to respond, Shuyan got up and ran out, and after a while he came back with a jar of sweet-scented osmanthus brewing.

During the Chinese New Year, the Wang family often brought wine to the Xie family. Xie Jiu knew that the book inkstone was also good, so he specially brought two jars for him when he left this time.

"Why don't you drink some peach blossom wine first, and practice first if the degree is low, so you can sharpen your gun before the battle."

……

Xie Huanxiu was speechless, and deliberately told Shuyan about drinking in order to make Shuyan worry about him, but he never expected that Shuyan would give him wine directly.

Seeing Xie Huanxiu with a look of astonishment, Shuyan explained, "I remember Master Ji taught me a word called 'wine bag and rice bag', which is used to describe officials. You will be an official in the future, and you can't drink alcohol. If not, it will be a joke."

If it weren't for Shuyan's serious face, Xie Huanxiu would definitely think that he did it on purpose.Xie Huanxiu endured and endured, and finally swallowed the sentence, "Only if you are a dead banker will you be laughed at!"

He patted Shu Yan on the shoulder, "This word is actually not used in this way. This allusion originated from an official, but not all officials are like this, especially me in the future."

Xie Huanxiu almost gritted his teeth and finished this sentence.

Shuyan also realized that he was making a joke again, so he didn't ask what this "wine bag and rice bag" meant. He opened the wine jar, and when two glasses of wine came out, he changed the subject to, "Let's drink first, it's delicious."

Xie Jiu was afraid that Xie Huanxiu's brain would be hurt by drinking, so he never let him drink.So he had seen and smelled a lot of peach blossom wine since he was a child, but he hadn't tasted it yet.

Holding the wine glass in his hand, he spun it over and over again, but refused to take a sip for a long time.

Shuyan finished drinking a cup, saw Xie Huanxiu still holding it up, and said to him: "Drink, it's fine. It won't damage your brain. Do you think I'm not doing well?"

……

This example is really not convincing, Xie Huanxiu thought.However, in the end, he frowns and raises his head.

It's not as hot as I imagined, but... a bit sweet?There is also a faint peach blossom aroma, which is really delicious.

Before Shu Yan waited, he refilled his glass of wine and continued to drink.

Shuyan looked at him with a smile, "Is it delicious?" As he spoke, he lightly touched his wine glass to Xie Huanxiu's, "Cheers."

Just like that, the two of you drank up a jar of peach blossom stuffing quickly.Xie Huanxiu couldn't finish it, he yelled that he wanted to drink more.

This peach blossom wine has a low alcohol content, but it is wine after all. Seeing Xie Huanxiu, Shuyan started to shake, so how dare he ask him to drink it again, coaxing him that the wine is gone, and he will drink it tomorrow.

Xie Huanxiu was a little unhappy, he stretched out his hands to hold Shuyan's face, pressed it very close, and shouted, "Don't shake!"

The innocent inkstone could only shake along with Xie Huanxiu.

"Hehe, that's right... Shuyan, you are so pretty."

As if seeing a ghost, Shuyan's eyes widened, "Hahaha, you are blushing again, Brother Goudan, you are too dark to blush, stop blushing."

……

Shuyan didn't bother to argue with this drunkard, and couldn't afford to, so he helped him walk to the room. Shuyan couldn't remember what happened afterwards.

When he woke up the next day, he was about to get up in a daze, and he pulled his lower body. He let out a hiss and took a deep breath. It was this pain that reminded him of what happened last night.

Xie Huanxiu beside him also woke up, he stretched out his hand to stop the book inkstone and threw it back on the bed, said "sleep a little longer", and fell asleep again.

Shuyan is not as big-hearted as Xie Huanxiu.

Xie Huanxiu drank too much last night, but Shuyan was still in good spirits. He was a little annoyed and tried to recall what happened last night, but he was still confused and clueless.

Finally, seeing that Xie Huanxiu was fast asleep, Shuyan got up quietly and dragged himself to make breakfast.

As soon as the breakfast was put on the table, Xie Huanxiu also woke up, Shu Yan didn't dare to look directly at him, and lowered his head to urge him.

"Go and wash your face so you can eat."

At this time, Xie Huanxiu was not too embarrassed to face the book inkstone, he let out a blank sound, and turned to wash.

The two of them had nothing to say, and after a quiet breakfast, Xie Huanxiu was ready to go to school.

Shu Yan wanted to send him off, "No, you should rest at home, it hurts, I know..."

Xie Huanxiu regretted saying the same thing, and the two looked at each other awkwardly for a while, Xie Huanxiu said, "It's too late, I'm leaving first, anyway, you should rest at home."

After speaking, he grabbed the book bag and ran away.
