Silver Leaf Whale Chapter 77

Extra 2. Xiaohongqi Village

Extra 2·Xiaohongqi Village

“What did you buy again? It’s time for mom to tell me when I get back later.”

Tomorrow is the day to go home. Qi Zhixuan is unpacking his express delivery, taking out a bunch of waist massagers, lumbar supports, and a bunch of specially prepared plasters from Dr. Yu, each of which must be packed and taken home.

“No, they are very happy. Mom and dad like the plush pajamas I bought for them a few days ago.” Qi Zhixuan took out an exquisite box from the drawer. Inside was an excellent jade bracelet, which he planned to give to Meihua as a New Year’s gift.

“Okay, okay.” Now Qi Zhixuan is much more favored than him. He can only pack things in the suitcase resignedly and look at the pile of waist products. He can’t help but ask, “Who are these bought for?”

“Dad, doesn’t he have a bad waist?” Qi Zhixuan handed over the plaster, which had a strong smell of Chinese herbal medicine. “Doctor Yu said this is very effective.”

Pang Jing was stunned. He didn’t know that his father’s waist was not good.

“What’s wrong?” Qi Zhixuan saw him suddenly stunned, “Oh, it’s okay, dad…did you tell you that his waist is uncomfortable?”

“That’s not true, but last year I rubbed his waist after watching him work. When you were in the hospital, he kept rubbing it after sitting next to you for a long time. It must be quite uncomfortable.”

Pang Jing suddenly felt guilty in his heart.He has been training outside all year round and has neglected his parents’ health. Fortunately, Qi Zhixuan takes care of him.”Thank you, Xiaoxuan.”

“You’re here again, right?” Qi Zhixuan knocked him on the head, and Pang Jing hugged him and laughed.

Pang Pang Hardware Store was very busy at the end of the year, with all kinds of checkouts. Meihua was so busy that he hit the back of his head. There were also many construction sites that needed to be completed before the end of the year. Pang Wei also took the guys around to deliver goods.

“Xiao Xuan, go upstairs and get a box of this. It’s on the shelf in my parents’ room.” Pang Jing was sitting at the front desk of the store greeting customers, and took two K-type nuts and asked Qi Zhixuan to go upstairs to find them.

“Okay.” Qi Zhixuan went upstairs and compared it for a long time before finding it.

Several more customers came downstairs, and Pang Jing took out two water pipes with similar specifications: “Do you want a 4-point or a 6-point one?”

Qi Zhixuan handed over the box and looked at the various screws, nuts, and water pipe elbows in front of him. He sighed silently in his heart. No wonder Pang Jing was so successful working at the small painter. It turned out to be his family background.

Qi Zhixuan works as a part-time clerk looking for things, while Pang Jing collects money to pack and greet people. In order to return to grandma early for the New Year, they are now working together as a family.

“Let’s sit down and rest for a while. My parents will come back soon and we want to take a bath together.” The thick curtains could not block the cold wind. Pang Jing watched the sky slowly get dark and pulled down several large rolling shutter doors in the store, leaving a small door.

“Ah?” Qi Zhixuan was a little stunned when he heard about taking a bath, “Then…does that mean you have to take a bath naked with people you don’t know…”

“Yeah, let’s take a bath together, rub a bath together, and walk around naked.” Pang Jing watched Qi Zhixuan’s face slowly turn red.

“If you get the bathing number late, you will have to wait naked. When your little face is as red as now, the master will ask you to come in.” Pang Jing reached out and pinched the red cheek, and Qi Zhixuan realized that he was being teased.

“You are lying!” Qi Zhixuan turned his head to ignore him, but was turned back by Pang Jing.”I’m not lying to you, it’s just like that. You basically have your buttocks bare when taking a bath, and it’s the same when you take a bath. You can only wear a towel when you go out. You only get dressed when you’re done and go out to eat.”

“But, I know you’re embarrassed. The hotel we went to today has a private bath. We share a room. I’ll give you a bath after that, okay?”

“Really?” Qi Zhixuan blinked. In fact, he had never been to a bathhouse. It was all hearsay. If they really saw each other naked like that, he would be a little embarrassed.

“More real than pearls.”

When the family of four arrived at the bathhouse, the Meihua couple chose a public bathhouse. They were not with their two children. Qi Zhixuan felt a little embarrassed, “Isn’t it weird for us to be like this? I think everyone is in a public bathhouse…”

“It’s okay. It’s normal for you southerners to not be used to it. Nowadays, there are many people traveling here, so they already have private baths.” The two of them walked into the room, which was bright and bright, with a large bathtub and a small bed next to it with a disposable mattress, which should be used for bathing.

After taking a shower, we soaked in the bathtub together. The bathtub was so big that it was not difficult for two people to sit down. The water temperature was also very suitable. “When I was a child, I was at my grandma’s house. It was too cold in the winter and I didn’t bathe often, but I would definitely take a bath before the Chinese New Year. My grandpa took me to the village bathhouse to soak. When I took a bath, I felt like I could remove a pound of mud.” Pang Jing hugged Qi Zhixuan, and the two of them sat on top of each other.

“Ah?” Qi Zhixuan moved slightly to the side and was caught. “What are you doing, you dislike me?”

“No…” Qi Zhixuan was hugged around the waist and felt itchy. He wanted to run but couldn’t. “I have been soaking in the swimming pool all day and there is no mud. Besides, you don’t know if I can’t clean it.”

The hands on his waist became more and more aggressive, slowly kneading, “Haha… clean… clean… so itchy… don’t touch me…” Qi Zhixuan was the most ticklish and struggled to make splashes in the bathtub.

Pang Jing refused to let him go. He squeezed his waist and kissed him on the face a few times. Qi Zhixuan sat on his lap, feeling something was wrong, and looked at him resentfully, “What’s going on with you recently?”

Inexplicably, this man stood up several times a day, which was really amazing.

“I just finished the game, my endocrine system hasn’t come down yet.” Pang Whale said calmly, “Don’t worry about it, it will be fine in a while.”

After taking a bath, it was indeed fine. Pang Jing began to help Qi Zhixuan take a bath for the first time in his life.

Qi Zhixuan lay on his back and let him rub him, thinking that since returning from Budapest, Pang Whale was indeed a little excited. It was probably not only endocrine but also psychological factors that were part of the reason. After such a big event, the pressure really needed to be released, and he didn’t know how he had lived for so many years.

“Let’s go.” After a family of four took a bath in the bathhouse, they found that snowflakes were already falling outside, and their red cheeks were instantly frozen from soaking in the pool.

The snowflakes fell slowly like blooming cotton. Qi Zhixuan felt that the whole world was in time delay, and the beauty was silent.

“Go home.” Pang Wei drove the car over, and the family of four sat in the warm car. The white sky fell on the car windows, accumulating little by little and being pushed away little by little.

“Oh, the snow is really heavy this year.” The uncle and the Pang family worked together to put snow guards on the family car.

There was also a lot of snow on the road, and the three of them were going to go outside to clear the snow. It was just two days before the Chinese New Year, so the people in the village had to keep their front doors clean so that people celebrating the New Year could go home smoothly.

“Bang——” The three of them were carrying snow shovels and were stopped by a loud noise in the kitchen.

Pang Whale reacted for a moment and rushed over immediately, “What’s wrong?”

“Brother…” Li Yunyao stood up from the stove and spit out black smoke as he spoke, “The potatoes blew up the stove…”

“Cough…cough cough…” Qi Zhixuan also stood up from the stove. He didn’t spit out black smoke, but he was still dirty.

“Hey, my old iron pot!” My grandma heard the sound and came over from the house. When she saw a hole in the pot, she picked up the broom on the stove and wanted to beat someone.

“It’s not my fault, milk, it’s the potatoes that are so outrageous…”

Li Yunyao was so frightened that he ran out with a black face. Qi Zhixuan was wiping his face in Pang Jing’s hands. Before he had time, he had to use a taller person as a shield to hide and hide, but he still received two blows on the buttocks.

“What are you playing around with her?” Pang Jing felt funny and cute when he saw him being beaten, and carefully wiped the stove ashes from his face.

“Xiaoyun said the baked potatoes are delicious.” The hot towel wiped the black area, and it took a long time to wipe the person out.

“She gets wet no matter what she does. She has to cut it or wrap it in tin foil.” Pang Jing pinched his face, “Next time I will take you to bake it properly.”

“Okay.” Qi Zhixuan raised his head and smiled, and followed Pang Jing to join Qingxue’s team.

After working for several hours, the road was gradually cleared. We were supposed to have sticky bean buns and sticky fire spoons today, but we didn’t buy new ones because the pot was fried, so we only had time to make the same.

Grandma knew that Qi Zhixuan loved this, so she kept putting it in his bowl.

“You can’t eat so much. Have you forgotten that you made your stomach uncomfortable last time?” Pang Jing put a few sticky bean buns that he had piled into a hill into his bowl. Qi Zhixuan pursed his lips and was a little unhappy, but he didn’t refute.

Li Yunyao looked at the bored look of the two people. When Qi Zhixuan came back this year, she called her aunt “Mom” and said she recognized her new son. But at first glance, she already knew about their relationship. She really didn’t expect that her brother was so capable that he could convince the family to accept it.

“Hello? Huh? Where are you? Okay, I’ll pick you up.” Before he had even eaten two bites, Li Yunyao’s capable brother answered the phone, took the car keys and headed out.

“What’s wrong?” Qi Zhixuan stopped his chopsticks.

“Pick someone up, you guys eat first and be back soon.” Pang Jing drove to the village in the wind and snow, and saw a man wearing a super large marten standing in the snow making a snowman.

“Give it to me.” Pang Whale walked over and took the big box she put aside with a warm cover.

“Xiao Xuan doesn’t know.” Big Diao smiled and took the snowman away with his gloves.

“I don’t know, you are really scary, Senior Sister Zhu.” Pang Jing opened a corner of the warm cover, and the swimming goggles were curiously peeking out, not knowing how cold it was.

“Hey, don’t I give you a surprise?” Zhu Mingyue also wanted to come here on the spur of the moment. The main reason was that her parents went abroad to buy antiques. They were fascinated by the local scenery and said they would stay there for the New Year and never come back. She was the only one left at home, so she had to come to join her younger brother.

When she arrived at her grandma’s house, Zhu Mingyue curiously looked at the corn stacks and ice jars piled in the yard, opened the door curtain and got into the warm room.

“Senior sister…?” Qi Zhixuan was so shocked that he dropped his chopsticks when he saw Zhu Mingyue peeled out of the big mink.

“Little Guitou, I’m not happy that my sister is here to celebrate the New Year with you.” Zhu Mingyue took off her big fur hat, her face was flushed, and her hair was like a chicken coop.

“Miss Zhu is here, oh my, it’s so lively now.” Meihua and Zhu Mingyue have met several times in the hospital, and they are considered old acquaintances.

“Hey, Auntie, just call me Mingyue.” Zhu Mingyue greeted the elders in a familiar manner, “Hello Uncle Pang! Is this grandma? You look so young! Hello uncle! You look like that star, that one…that one…”

Her mouth was so sweet that she and her uncle soon started chatting enthusiastically, just like a friend who had never forgotten the year.

“Sister, why did you call me instead of me?” Qi Zhixuan pulled down Pang Jing’s sleeve and looked at Zhu Mingyue, who was already eating and enjoying herself at the dinner table.

“Ahem…” Pang Jing cleared his throat, covered his face with his hands, and whispered, “Because your senior sister said that she would have to make a surprise attack to find out whether you are doing well in your husband’s family.”

“What…” Qi Zhixuan pushed Pang Whale speechlessly, and he laughed for a while.

However, it seems that Zhu Mingyue really just came here to see Qi Zhixuan. He plays with Li Yunyao like crazy every day. The man in his thirties makes the eighteen-year-old girl fall down from exhaustion.

“Sister Mingyue, I really didn’t expect you to be so good at sledge. I thought you would have to plant in the snow like Brother Xuan.” The lights were brightly lit in the middle of the night, and everyone was waiting for the Chinese New Year. They gathered in grandma’s house to make dumplings and chat, and spent several mornings playing with the ice sledge. Unexpectedly, Zhu Mingyue was the new ice queen, and she was so energetic.

“Don’t mention it, this kid’s motor nerves probably haven’t fully developed yet.” Zhu Mingyue opened up the conversation while making dumplings, “My wife said he was born prematurely and walked later than others. He fell like a birthday boy every day when he was a child. When he was a teenager, he played badminton with me and broke his own bones. He was hospitalized for half a month. He also practiced yoga with me… um…”

“Stop talking!”

Seeing that his old story was about to be exposed, Qi Zhixuan quickly covered Zhu Mingyue’s mouth, and her face was covered with flour on his hands.

“What’s wrong with practicing yoga?” Pang Jing held Qi Zhixuan with one hand, wanting to hear his embarrassing sports stories.

“Bah, bah…” Zhu Mingyue spat out two mouthfuls of flour, and continued, “He practiced aerial yoga and tied himself into a twist. He couldn’t stand still on the ground. He kept kowtowing to the teacher. The teacher was afraid of losing his life and told him not to come… hahaha…”

Everyone in the room was amused, and the Spring Festival Gala on TV happened to be funny. The laughter seemed to float into the distance with the smoke from the chimney, so that everyone could feel the happiness of the family.

As the dumplings are placed in the pot and fireworks explode outside the window, the new year begins again.

“Hey, wait a minute!” Zhu Mingyue suddenly slapped her thigh and ran to the suitcase to rummage around. “I took a bottle of liquor from my dad’s cabinet and specially checked it in. Let’s drink it and eat the dumplings!”

As soon as the bottle is opened, the mellow aroma spreads instantly.Zhu Mingyue poured a glass for everyone on the table. The uncle took a sip and couldn’t help but praise: “Tsk, Xiao Zhu, this wine is good!”

“Uncle, you are still very classy. My father has collected it for many years. I brought it today because I wanted to borrow a glass from you all and say a few words from my heart.” Zhu Mingyue had been smiling all day, but now she suddenly became serious, and everyone’s eyes couldn’t help but fall on her.

“Our little Xuan, our parents are gone, and I am the only sister left.” Zhu Mingyue sighed after finishing speaking.

“It’s fate that he can meet your child. I was worried about being so far away, but he really likes it. Your Xiao Pang also risked his life to protect him. I’m really grateful. This first glass of wine, I give it to Xiao Pang to save my brother’s life.” Zhu Mingyue picked up the wine glass and drank it all. The wine slid down her throat, with a trace of redness in her eyes.

“Senior sister…” Qi Zhixuan didn’t expect her to say this. He wanted to persuade her not to drink, but he couldn’t find a reason. At such an old age, people around him always have to worry about it. He felt moved and uncomfortable at the same time, with mixed feelings.

Pang Jing stood up, raised his head and drank the wine in his glass, holding Qi Zhixuan’s hand tighter and tighter.

“This is my second cup, I’d like to give it to you all.” Zhu Mingyue raised the cup and drank it again. “In the past few days, I have also felt that everyone likes my little Xuan. To be honest, before I came here, I thought that if you couldn’t accept him, I would bring him back to Haicheng and kidnap your child.”

Zhu Mingyue said and smiled sheepishly, “It’s not easy for them. Thank you for being so tolerant and caring to everyone. Thank you so much.” She said it sincerely, and Qi Zhixuan’s eyes were filled with tears.

“Yes, we are a family, and Xiao Qi is a good boy.” Pang Wei responded to Zhu Mingyue’s words, and everyone present drank one glass of the wine in front of him.

“Then I will disrespect you for this third cup. Uncle Pang said that we will be a family from now on. Let’s have a drink together. From now on, I wish Mingyue can help and I will do my best.”

“Sister Mingyue, we are all a family. If there is a handsome guy, be the first one to introduce him to me.”

No one said anything, but Li Yunyao was positive and drank the wine first.

“Ouch, you hate getting married so much!” Auntie reached out to pat her girl, but Li Yunyao seemed to have been touched by a passive skill and moved out of the way.

Zhu Mingyue has returned to her original smiling and serious look, “Of course, I know a Swedish model, he is very handsome. I will give you his WeChat message later.”

“Okay, foreigners are fine, as long as they are handsome, hehe.” Li Yunyao looked for her cell phone happily.

Everyone started drinking and eating dumplings, and the atmosphere was even better than before. Before we knew it, all the bottles of wine were finished, and the uncle even opened a new bottle.

“Stop drinking, eh.” The lively family drank happily. Qi Zhixuan also drank a few drinks and leaned next to Pang Whale. The tears in his eyes had not fallen before, and they were covered with a bit of drunkenness. He looked at the person with moist eyes.

“Yeah.” Qi Zhixuan agreed softly. Seeing that Pang Jing also drank a lot, he advised him, “Then don’t drink either.”

He was held in his arms, and Pang Jing brought a glass of wine to his ear. “Okay, one last glass. I dedicate this glass of wine to my parents in heaven. Thank them for giving me such a good you, and I also wish them a happy new year.”

The voice was so low that only he could hear it. Qi Zhixuan raised his eyes and saw a drop of wine falling from Pang Whale’s chin to his Adam’s apple.

The unshed tears suddenly fell together with the wine, dripping hot onto his chest.

Pang Jing put down his wine glass, wiped away the falling wine drops and tears, and touched his round head with a smile.

After drinking until early in the morning, everyone was exhausted and went back to the house to sleep. Zhu Mingyue had already passed out drunk on her grandma’s kang.

“Hey, sister, Sister Mingyue and I are sleeping in your room. Everyone is drunk, who can drag her away.” Li Yunyao originally slept in the same room as Zhu Mingyue, but she had no choice but to deal with the drunkard, and she was unwilling to move, so she acted like a fool and refused to leave.

“Okay, okay, okay, sleep wherever you like, and don’t throw up on my bed.” Grandma had already been sleeping beside her, too lazy to care about what they were doing.

“Then it’s impossible, don’t worry.”

“Aren’t you leaving? Do you want to sleep here too?” Pang Jing wanted to take Qi Zhixuan back to his room, but he stared at Li Yunyao and Zhu Mingyue eagerly.

“Is it okay, grandma…” Qi Zhixuan blinked, his face flushed, which made people feel distressed.

“What’s wrong with that! Just sleep sideways, come on.” Grandma took a few mattresses from the cupboard. Everyone loved to come to this house. My uncle renovated the house a few years ago and specially spread out the big kang table for everyone, so that a few more people could sleep there.

Qi Zhixuan happily got into bed and lay down next to his grandma’s right hand. Pang Jing slept on the other side of him, holding him firmly in his arms.

“I’m happy now.” Pang Jing looked down at his satisfied expression and asked with a low smile.

“Well, happy!”

“Mistress, can you sing that song for us?” Li Yunyao was sleeping on the left side of her grandma, and she would cup her breasts under the quilt while talking.

“What?”

“That…that…”

After being unable to fart for a long time, my grandma was annoyed, so she stretched out her hand and said, “What the hell is that?”

“Oh, brother, tell me, this is the song we went to bed with when we were kids.”

“The one about Yue Er Ming?” Pang Jing could only think of this.

“Yes, yes, please sing quickly.”

Grandma didn’t bother the girl. She stretched out her hand and patted her outside the quilt and sang, “The moon is bright and the breeze is gentle, the leaves are covering the window lattice, and the crickets are chirping…”

“Aren’t you happy? Why are you crying again?” Pang Jing saw the tears on Qi Zhixuan’s cheeks and rubbed his head.

“Ah?” Qi Zhixuan reached out and wiped it on his face.

It’s really, really wet.

“Probably… I’m already delirious with happiness.”

“Are you stupid? Go to sleep.”

Pang Jing smiled and wiped his face clean, and also patted Qi Zhixuan.

Grandma’s voice was a little hoarse, but very gentle. In the gentle glimmer of early morning, she comforted the children to sleep peacefully.
