It was said that the whole family wanted to stay up late, but except for Zhou Chi and Lu Zhicheng, everyone else started to yawn after the New Year's Eve dinner. Liu's father and Liu's mother were old and couldn't stay up late at all. Zhou Ran was busy. After a long day, he was already tired by this time, so he hurriedly took Teng'er back to his room to rest. Liu Changsheng naturally followed his wife and children to the hot bed. According to the old rules set by Zhou Ran, On New Year's Eve, there were no servants to wait on, and all the servants went home and reunited, so for a while, Zhou Chi and Lu Zhicheng were the only ones left in the huge Guangxi Governor's Yamen.
During the dinner just now, Lu Zhicheng and Liu Changsheng drank two more drinks. His drinking capacity was not large, but fortunately he was drunk like a girl. The alcohol was low and not intoxicating. He was just slightly blushing. At this time, he leaned on Zhou Chi's shoulder. He went up and smiled lazily: "Our brother-in-law doesn't drink much. He can't even drink a pound of Nuerhong. He doesn't look like someone who has been in the military at all. But Uncle Liu can drink a lot. I see that he still holds back the amount today, otherwise my brother-in-law and I will end up drinking under the table."
"Yes, Uncle Liu is a drinker," Zhou Chi said while nibbling on melon seeds. He actually didn't like eating these dried fruit snacks. These snacks were all prepared for Teng'er, but for some reason, he couldn't eat melon seeds today. My son was so greedy that he never stopped talking from start to finish. "I heard from my brother-in-law that Uncle Liu had a terrible drinking capacity when he was young. One time he had a drinking fight with someone and drank six jars of Shentan wine, which resulted in his death. He was confused and slept the whole night hugging the big locust tree in the yard. Then Aunt Liu teased him with this allusion, and Uncle Liu stopped drinking much from then on. "
"Haha, hugging the big locust tree, this is so picturesque," Lu Zhicheng kept laughing and rubbed his head into Zhou Chi's neck, with a hint of coquettishness in his tone, "I don't care. Even though I'm drunk, I will only hug our sweet-smelling and soft good brother, not any big hard locust tree."
When Zhou Chi was called like this, his heart felt numb and itchy. He turned around and kissed Lu Zhicheng's sweaty forehead, and tasted the melon seeds and rice in his hand into Lu Zhicheng's mouth. Morning, how about we go out for a walk?"
"Okay," Lu Zhicheng was so busy that he sat up straight and smiled at Zhou Chi, "I originally wanted to take Teng'er to set off fireworks, but I didn't know that boy fell asleep as soon as it got dark. I was wondering just now. What to do with the two boxes of fireworks I brought from Yunnan? That’s it. My brother and I are going to set off the fireworks!”
"Look how playful you are, you're a little younger than Teng'er." Zhou Chi looked at his bright eyes and couldn't help but smile, "You don't look like an adult in his twenties."
"I've never set off fireworks, so I've always wanted to set off fireworks," Lu Zhicheng said, a little embarrassed, "I've always wanted to find an opportunity to set off fireworks with my own hands. It's best if I can set off all the fireworks at once. It's rare that I finally With such a good opportunity, brother, please don’t laugh at me, I just do this in front of you, hehe.”
"You really didn't set off the fireworks?" Zhou Chi looked surprised. He took a cloak from the screen and put it on Lu Zhicheng. He took Lu Zhicheng's hand and walked out and asked, "When were you a kid?" There were no fireworks? I don’t believe there is a shortage of fireworks in the palace.”
"There is no shortage of fireworks in the palace, but my mother-in-law doesn't allow me to touch them." Lu Zhicheng held Zhou Chi's hand with his backhand, gently kneaded Zhou Chi's warm fingers, and sighed softly.
