Siheyuan: Learning to be the sixth

Aunt Cao was also very surprised when she heard this, "Hey, old man, we are in for a treat tonight."

He Yuzhu was also very happy to be able to cook a meal for his parents.

Although they are both from the north, their tastes are different. Therefore, He Yuzhu specifically asked the two elders if they had any food taboos. After learning that they were not picky, He Yuzhu started to prepare the ingredients prepared by Aunt Cao.

It was a big carp, so needless to say, we made sweet and sour carp. We also stewed a chicken and fried some vegetables. Knowing that the two elders didn't like to drink soup, He Yuzhu didn't make soup, for fear that if he made too much, the three of them wouldn't be able to finish it and it would be wasted.

He Yuzhu's cooking skills are not perfect, but they are almost there. The food he cooks is naturally delicious, yet still retains the simplicity of a farmhouse, making people feel very comfortable.

The old man's taste buds were also aroused, "Zhu Zi, what you cooked is too delicious, your aunt and I will not be polite."

Before he finished speaking, he picked up a piece of fish and put it into his mouth. The taste was so delicious that the old man enjoyed it so much.

"Come on, Zhuzi, let's drink~"

"Old man, it's a rare opportunity to eat such delicious food today. Pour me a glass too. I want to taste the Maotai you said I wouldn't trade even for a god."

He Yuzhu thought to himself, old lady, you are really bold to say that. I don’t know what the situation is now. It can be seen that the old lady really likes me, otherwise she wouldn’t be so excited and speak without restraint. This old couple is really interesting. Perhaps they have experienced a lot and are absolutely confident in their judgment of people.

He Yuzhu quickly took a wine glass and poured a small cup for the old lady.

The three of them raised their glasses, clinked them, and drank them all in one gulp.

It can be seen that the old lady hasn't had a drink for a long time and is still a little uncomfortable.

He Yuzhu hurriedly persuaded: "Auntie, drink slowly, don't choke~"

But Aunt Cao, who was already drunk, smacked her lips, savored the taste and said, "It's really good wine. No wonder you don't want to drink it, old man."

Mr. Zhang smiled at his wife and said, "Old Cao, you have to drink less. If you get addicted to alcohol, I can't drink as much as you."

He Yuzhu's eyes lit up when he heard this. There must be a story behind this.

So some people were very reluctant to fill the glasses for the two elders.

Full of curiosity, he asked: "Grandpa, could it be that my aunt can drink more than you?"

The old man knew that he was talking nonsense when he was happy, as if he remembered something and felt a little embarrassed.

Aunt Cao smiled and said, "Zhu Zi, let me tell you about it."

It turned out that when fighting the Japanese, Uncle Zhang from the regular army was unfortunately injured while he and his troops were covering the evacuation of the masses. He fainted and rolled into the bushes. It was a blessing in disguise as he luckily escaped the Japanese's final attack, which led to the story that follows.

The troops were retreating in a hurry at that time, and our troops evacuated hastily without having time to check whether there were any survivors. I don’t know how long Uncle Zhang was unconscious, but he was actually woken up by the cold.

Uncle Zhang confirmed again and again that he was still alive. He thought to himself that he did not die at the hands of the Japanese. It would be too miserable if he just froze or starved to death.

This aroused a strong desire to survive. Fortunately, the old man had been dealing with the Japanese every day and was familiar with the terrain. He took a look at the constellations and remembered that there was a small mountain village nearby.

With the goal of trying everything possible, Uncle Zhang endured the pain and stood up, then crawled towards the small village.

I don’t know how long I walked, but I finally fainted due to hunger and exhaustion.

When he woke up again, Grandpa Zhang felt that his whole body was warm, which reminded him of what the elders in his family said, that when a person is in the last moments of his life, he feels very comfortable and clear-headed.

The old man thought that since he couldn't live anymore, he might as well take one more look at this world.

When he opened his eyes, what he saw was a girl with two long braids, so Uncle Zhang started his magical operation.

Uncle Zhang, who thought he was hallucinating and wanted to marry a wife before leaving, thought Aunt Cao was an illusion, and said, "Hey, this wife is so pretty."

After saying that, he touched Aunt Cao's face cooperatively.

This frightened the inexperienced Aunt Cao, who thought: "This is a real Eighth Route Army soldier."

So he hurriedly shouted outside the house: "Dad, come quickly, he's awake."

Uncle Cao's first reaction was, "Does the drama have to be played out before death? Even his father-in-law showed up?"

Hearing his daughter's cry, Old Man Cao quickly came to the bed.

He asked excitedly: "Comrade, wake up, are you hungry?"

As his consciousness slowly returned, the piercing pain made Uncle Zhang realize that he was being rescued.

Then he thought of his own "feat" just now. Although he was very hungry, in order to avoid embarrassment, Uncle Zhang pretended to sleep again.

It was not until Old Man Cao and Aunt Cao got up and left that Uncle Zhang opened his eyes. His face turned red with shame and his whole body was hot.

The old man Cao outside the house was smoking his pipe and asked again: "Ni'er, are you sure the Eighth Route Army comrade in the house is awake?"

Faced with her father's questioning, Aunt Cao had to blush and say: "Dad, I'm sure he's awake. He...he even touched my face."

The old man smiled brightly when he heard this. He went out hunting, and although he didn't catch any prey, he still got a son-in-law, which was not a loss.

"Ni'er, you are already an adult. I think this comrade from the Eighth Route Army is a good person. How about ~"

"Oh my~ Dad~"

Although Aunt Cao never admitted that she fell in love with Uncle Zhang at first sight, it was obvious that Aunt Cao was definitely interested in Uncle Zhang because she did not object at the first moment.

Uncle Zhang in the room was so hungry that he couldn't stand it anymore, so he mustered up the courage to get out of bed and walked out of the room.

Let's fast forward the recovery process. In the blink of an eye, Uncle Zhang recovered quickly with the help of Old Man Cao's occasional wild animals to supplement his nutrition and Aunt Cao's careful care.

During the period of recuperation, although Aunt Cao and Uncle Zhang did not say it explicitly, they both understood each other's feelings.

Old man Cao, who saw everything, was also very anxious. He thought, if you two keep procrastinating like this, when will he be able to become a grandfather?

So he quickly thought of a plan, and took the rabbit he had shot, went down the mountain and exchanged it for a lot of good wine.

Under the pretext of seeing Uncle Zhang off, the three of them started drinking.

I don't know why, but as they drank, Uncle Zhang kept drinking one cup after another, and Aunt Cao was not to be outdone, so she said, "You drink a few cups, and I'll drink a few too."

Anyway, the final result was that when Uncle Zhang woke up, he looked at Aunt Cao in his arms and was shocked at first, then delighted. He then carefully lay down and fell asleep.

As soon as Uncle Zhang woke up, Aunt Cao woke up too. She was just pretending to be asleep. Seeing Uncle Zhang lying down again, she was also very happy and thought to herself: "I will never let Uncle Zhang know that I am immune to alcohol."
