Rebirth: Ordinary Life and Living

They drank happily, sang excitedly, danced happily, and spent a pleasant night.

The boat was sailing slowly towards the place Zhou Xinyue longed for.

Two days later, the weather was sunny and everyone was talking and laughing, feeling particularly relaxed.

Seventh Auntie was hanging bed sheets on the corridor, and Zhou Xinyue was helping her with housework.

I heard a young man say, "Once we get to Sibei City and find that Yuan Mao, we'll go to Meizhi City and settle down, and then our trip to Bazhi will be a complete success."

Another young man also said: "Yes, after we settle Lady Yue, our mission will be completed. We can also be said to be worthy of the prince's spirit in heaven."

Another young man said: "Then we can go home. I haven't seen my wife and children for such a long time. I miss them so much."

Another said, "Isn't it? Three days ago it was my mother's 60th birthday party. Everyone in the village went, but I wasn't there. My mother kept nagging me. I wasn't by her side, and now when I think about it, I feel guilty."

Zhou Xinyue was standing on tiptoe to dry the sheets. Suddenly she heard them talking like this, and her heart was numb.

My mood gradually became depressed and my movements gradually became slower.

Seventh Aunt-in-law was busy nearby. Seeing Zhou Xinyue's slow movements, she felt that she seemed to be thinking about something.

Curiously asked: "Mrs. Yue, what's wrong with you? Why are you in a daze?"

Zhou Xinyue reacted and continued to stand on tiptoe to dry the sheets, replying: "Nothing, Seventh Uncle."

After saying that, Zhou Xinyue continued working without saying anything else.

Seventh Aunt-in-law could see that Zhou Xinyue seemed to be worried.

At dinner, the seventh uncle drank two bowls of wine and began to sing folk songs: "I shook my wine bottle, raised my head and drank my wine, took one sip after another, ah hu hu hey ah, and saw my old woman ah ha. I shook my wine bottle, ah ha, why can't I see my wine, ah hu hu hey, it turns out that I have finished eating, I was so angry, ah ha, how come I finished eating so quickly, I can't figure it out, ah hu hu hey, I was so angry that I threw the wine bottle, and it hit the old woman, ah ha, scared me, scared me, what should I do, ah hu hu hey, I saw her picking up a big stick and running towards me to chase me and beat me, oh my, oh my, my butt hurts so much, I'm almost kneeling down and begging for mercy, ah hu hu hey, it's really amazing, amazing!"

As soon as Uncle Seven finished singing, everyone burst into laughter.

The seventh aunt came out of the kitchen with soup and vegetables. She squinted her eyes at the seventh uncle and said angrily, "How dare you sing? You still have the nerve to sing it out. If you sing, everyone will know how ugly you look."

Uncle Qi said in his heart, "What's there to be afraid of? Old man, I can sing whenever I want, and I have to sing loudly, hahahaha!"

Everyone followed Uncle Seventh's lead and laughed out loud.

Zhou Xinyue smiled and asked, "What happened next?"

The seventh uncle closed his eyes and looked mysterious. He closed his eyes, stroked his beard and asked, "Why? Do you still want to know what happened next?"

Everyone smiled and nodded to let Uncle Seventh continue. Uncle Seventh stroked his beard, cleared his throat and continued singing: "Dear readers, if you want to know what happens next, you have to listen to me carefully. There are too many things to say next. There are too many things to say. I don't know where to start."

Everyone pricked up their ears to listen, and they heard Seventh Uncle just sing a few lines and then stop. No one wanted to do anything and asked him to continue singing.

Seventh Uncle laughed out loud and didn't go on, deliberately leaving everyone in suspense.

After the seventh aunt sat down, she immediately said, "He is just too embarrassed to sing."

Zhou Xinyue was just looking for fun, so she asked, "Seventh Uncle, tell me, what happened next?"

Aunt Seven smiled and said, "What else could happen next? He would lie in bed for three days and not be able to get out of bed."

After a while, everyone burst into laughter all day, and some almost choked with laughter.

Uncle Seven's face fell, and he said angrily, "How dare you say that? You beat me so badly that time that I was unable to get up from the bed for three days, and I was laughed at by everyone in the village for a long time."

The Seventh Uncle's Wife didn't even look at the Seventh Uncle and said, "I wonder if you dare to hit someone with a bottle of wine again next time? You deserve it!"

Seventh Uncle was so angry that he turned away and said nothing.

Everybody was laughing so hard.

A young man comforted him, "Okay, Uncle Seven, don't be angry, it's not a big deal, it's okay!"

The Seventh Uncle added, "We may arrive at Sibei Town tomorrow. Sibei Town is only two days away from Meizhi Town. We should hurry up and prepare everything we need."

A young man said, "Don't worry, Aunt Seven has prepared everything for Yuan Mao."

The Seventh Aunt said, "Although the prince has already informed him in advance, we still have to prepare the necessary etiquette. After all, I am no longer here, and it is still a matter of whether he still recognizes this honor or not."

Uncle Seven also smoked and said, "That's right. After all, it's better to have more gifts when meeting someone. Although we remember the friendship we had with the prince, he is gone after all. We can't afford to make any mistakes this time. Fortunately, our prince paved the way in advance and prepared everything that should be prepared, which really saves us a lot of worries."

A young man said, "Seventh Uncle heard that this person has a weird personality and is difficult to get along with. I don't know if the rumor is true or not."

The seventh aunt smiled and held the rice bowl while muttering: "Anyway, I have lived for so many years, and I always think that no matter how eccentric his personality is, he is still an ordinary person. For ordinary people to live, they can't do without firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea. What are firewood, rice, oil, salt, sauce, vinegar and tea? It's money. With money, he can make the devil work. With money, he can make complicated things simple."

Uncle Seven took two puffs of his cigarette, then exhaled and said, "That's right, that's the truth. As long as we are polite, there is nothing we can't accomplish."

A young man said, "That's right. No matter what his personality is, there is nothing we can't get the money from. We must settle Lady Yue and the others."

Zhou Xinyue was so moved and excited that she said, "I don't know what to say at this moment. I feel nothing but gratitude and guilt towards everyone. I sincerely thank you all."

The Seventh Aunt stood up, waved her hand downward, and said hurriedly, "Mrs. Yue, please stop talking. We are really embarrassed if you continue talking. This matter has not been successful yet. It's too early to say thank you."

Zhou Xinyue smiled and said, "No matter what the result is. You have accompanied me for such a long time and walked such a long way. In my heart, I have already regarded you as my family. I don't know how to repay you."

Uncle Seven smiled and said, "Okay, Madam Yue, since we are a family, let's not talk nonsense. Let's eat and stop saying those polite words."

Zhou Xinyue was very grateful in her heart, nodded and said, "Okay, I won't say anything more. Let's eat."

After that, everyone ate happily.
