In the evening to celebrate Zhou Yan's birthday, Ye Yuanrong and Lu Jianguo cooked a few dishes properly.
The first time Zhou Yan sent some bean sprouts, it is just time to eat, Ye Yuanrong pulled all of them, part of the fish with the morning fishing and third aunt sent pickled vegetables, make a pot of pickled fish, another with the space there are duck blood and hair belly these make a pot of hair blood Wang, due to Ye Yuanrong no matter who is the family's birthday, like to fry a chicken to eat the habit, so another pot of chicken.
The three kinds of dishes are large portions, more to make them is tomorrow also can not finish the food, so only a pot of stir-fried lettuce with a pot of green vegetables.
During the meal, Lu Jianguo asked Zhou Yan to bring out a bottle of wine from the space, which he had been interested in when he was inside, because Ye Yuanrong felt that the degree was too high and hadn't allowed him to drink it, but now that he had found an excuse, naturally he wouldn't let it go.
And to prove that it wasn't what he wanted to drink, he insisted on dragging Zhou Yan and Lu Bachuan to accompany him.
Zhou Yan and Lu Bachuan were already not as good as his drinking capacity, so it was good that Lu Jianguo didn't force them to drink and just poured a small cup for each of them.
Perhaps the alcohol level was indeed too high, after a meal they were both a bit dizzy, but instead Lu Jianguo was fine at all.
Ye Yuanrong complained as he cleared the table, "I told you, the alcohol level is too high, so you had to drink it even if you had to drink it, but you even brought them with you, and now they're all drunk."
Lu Jianguo accosted him and didn't dare to say anything.
Lu Bachuan, however, stood up a bit shaken by the news: "Not drunk yet, I still have things to do."
Saying that he wanted to help Ye Yuanrong clean up the things on the table.
Ye Yuanrong saw the situation and even grabbed the chopsticks from his hand and said: "Ancestor, you be at peace! I'll clean up here. And what else do you want? Tell me! I'll go and get it for you."
Lu Bachuan, however, was deadly reluctant to say anything, only staring at Ye Yuanrong to clean the table, shook his head and said, "No, I have to go and get it myself."
Ye Yuanrong was staring at him closely, so he only had to speedily clean up the table and clean the table again, just to see what he wanted to do.
Lu Bachuan saw the table cleaned up quickly, so he stood up holding the stool and walked towards the bedroom, Ye Yuanrong wanted to help him but was refused and also didn't let her follow.
Ye Yuanrong saw that he could still walk in a straight line, should not be too drunk, also by him to go.
Soon Lu Bachuan came out of the bedroom, but with both hands holding a large plate with a cake-shaped watermelon core, on which the four words Happy Birthday were placed in white grapes.
When he reached the table, he put the plate in front of Zhou Yan and said, "There's no cake with candles, so I made this, you will be able to make a wish."
Although Lu Baichuan asked him for fruit at noon, and also locked him out of the bedroom in the afternoon to prevent him from going in, Zhou Yan did not think it was in preparation for this, touched but also confused: "How did you think to do this?"
Lu Baichuan didn't have the good sense to say, "Do you think I don't surf the Internet?"
He said and urged Zhou Yan to make a wish quickly.
Zhou Yan wanted to say how to make a wish without candles, but seeing Lu Baichuan's serious look, he closed his eyes and made a wish.
When he finished his wish, Lu Bachuan handed over a fruit knife he had already prepared and instructed him to cut it.
Zhou Yan took the knife and was about to cut it down, but he saw a little less next to that vertical heart of the word happy fast, and wondered, "Why is there a little less here?"
Lu Bachuan was a little embarrassed at the news and said, "I just wanted to try to see if the grapes were sweet in there, so I ate one."
After that, Zhou Yan didn't give each person a plate like cutting a cake, just a few knives down, cut the watermelon into convenient entrance sizes, and inserted a few toothpicks on top for everyone to eat.
When it was time to go to bed, Zhou Yan was unable to sleep for some reason, always feeling that something was wrong.
It wasn't until he felt Lu Bachuan's hot breath spraying on his shoulder and his body started to quietly change that he realized where the wrongness was.
Usually when you're drunk, your breath is hotter, but not to this extent.
Usually, when they sleep together, it's not like they haven't had the need, but they're always afraid that the other will feel free, so the most intimate times are just to help each other out, and more often than not, they resolve it themselves.
But today the atmosphere was just right, Zhou Yan could hear from Lu Baichuan's breathing that he wasn't asleep yet, so he hooked Lu Baichuan's hand and asked: "Baichuan, are you asleep?"
The words came out and Zhou Yan realized how hoarse his voice was.
Lu Bachuan sniffed and said in a muffled voice, "No."
So Zhou Yan turned around and kissed him on the forehead, then the tip of his nose, then his lips, all the way down.
The next morning, when Zhou Yan woke up, Lu Bachuan was still sound asleep, and when he saw him, he pulled a thin blanket over his exposed shoulders, also hiding the trace of that.
When he got up, he kissed the corner of Lu Bachuan's lips again and whispered, "I liked yesterday's birthday present."
Nor did he care if the sleeper could hear, he joyfully went downstairs to wash up.
While brushing his teeth, he couldn't help but think, I don't know if Lu Jianguo knows the effect of his bottle of wine, but I guess he doesn't know, or else he wouldn't be mad if he knew it was the result.
Until they eat breakfast, Lu Bachuan is still not up, Ye Yuanrong and Lu Jianguo also do not suspect, only as Lu Bachuan is hungover, left him some food and went downstairs to work.
Most of the morning passed, Zhou Yan felt that Lu Baichuan would have a headache if he slept any longer, so he planned to go in and wake him up.
The first thing you need to do is to take a look at the shoes you've been wearing for a while. It was all piled up between his waist and belly.
Zhou Yan saw him move and almost laughed out loud, but he was afraid that he would get annoyed, so he endured the hard laugh.
Only after getting a blank stare from Lu Bachuan did he touch his nose and walk to the bedside and ask, "Do you feel uncomfortable anywhere?"
Lu Baichuan shook his head and said, "Nothing!"
Zhou Yan said, "Then why don't you go inside and wash up?"
Lu Baichuan was baffled, "Why do you need to wash up in there?"
Zhou Yan said, "After washing up, we'll eat inside."
Lu Baichuan still didn't understand what he meant and blinked his eyes to show his doubt, why would he go inside to eat?
Zhou Yan laughed and said: "Mom cooked noodles this morning, put a lot of minced pepper with vinegar, full of sour and spicy flavor, left some for you, I think you should eat something light, so I secretly cooked you some skinny egg and lean pork porridge, you go in and drink some."
When Lu Bachuan heard that it was this kind of reason, he blushed and responded, "Oh." Then as if he thought of something, he said, "What about the leftover vermicelli?"
Zhou Yan secretly prepared porridge for him, and they went inside to eat again, just didn't want Ye Yuanrong and Lu Jianguo to find out the reason, not that it was something that couldn't be seen, but if this kind of thing was exposed to his parents, it would be a bit embarrassing after all, and if the breakfast left for him wasn't eaten, he would definitely be asked to get to the bottom of it.
How would he answer then, lying about not being hungry would be impossible, much less telling the truth, and that would be better than letting him endure eating it all!
When Zhou Yan saw his torn face, he smiled and said, "Do I eat those vermicelli?"
Lu Baichuan: "Didn't you just eat it this morning?"
Zhou Yan said, "When I saw the breakfast, I knew that the portion left for you would probably have to be eaten by me, so I purposely ate less this morning."
So breakfast was all eaten with Zhou Yan's help.
After the birthday, Zhou Yan also understood why that day Lu Bachuan said he wanted to wait a few days before going out, only these days when the two were in a strong love affair, naturally there was no hurry to go out.
I can't help but feel that it is true that a gentle home is a hero's mound, although he also has no intention of being a hero.
In the following days, since they were not in a hurry to go out, they helped to weed out the weeds in the ground once.
After a few days, when they had finished weeding and hoeing the ground, they both felt that they couldn't delay any longer.
So they found a time for dinner to talk to Lu Jianguo and Ye Yuanrong.
In the eyes of their older generation, even the children out to work are hated to accompany them to wash and cook, and now the world is so chaotic, they managed to rush back, the monsters on the road they can see more clearly than the people in the village, but also more aware of their dangers.
Now the children, when they could not settle down, said they wanted to go out and see the hellish world outside.
When they heard of their plans, they became so worried that their hearts were torn.
But while they would worry about the children's plans, they reasoned that it was the right thing to do, that they couldn't just nestle here and die forever.
So they just remained silent for a while after hearing that, and then Lu Jianguo said, "Where do you plan to go and for how long?"
Previously, Zhou Yan had discussed with Lu Bachuan that they didn't intend to go too far this time, so he said, "Just go to the town, if it's quick, we'll leave on the first day and get back the next day."
For Zhou Yan's current skills, sometimes in the morning when Zhou Yan accompanied him to practice, Lu Jianguo also had seen a little bit, even Lu Bachuan's skills were more than a little bit and a half stronger than before.
Now hearing them say that they were going to town and were returning the next day, his heart felt that at least it wasn't that dangerous, so he instructed, "Since you have decided, then we won't stop you, except that no matter what happens, you can't put yourselves in danger, you know that your mother and I are still waiting at home."
Zhou Yan had died once in his last life, so he naturally treasured life even more, and immediately said upon hearing the words, "That's for sure, don't worry."
Afterwards Lu Jianguo asked how they were going to get out, nodding in agreement when he heard them say that they were going to borrow a boat, so at least it would be safer than driving.
