Zhang Yun's ancient life

On the day of Uncle Guan’s [-]th birthday, Zhang Yun specially asked for a day’s leave from the barracks in advance, and came to Uncle Guan’s house with Guan Jing early. Standing in front of the gate, he began to greet the guests who came over.

This job was not what they were supposed to do. Guan Jing is a married twin brother, and Zhang Yun is a twin son-in-law with a different surname. It stands to reason that they should be regarded as guests when they return to their natal family, and they have to be entertained by people from their natal family.

But Guan Yu is young and can't even say that, so what can you expect him to do?For Uncle Guan and his wife, on this birthday, as long as little Guan Yu can guarantee that she will be obedient and not cause them any trouble by being naughty, it will be a good thing.

Uncle Guan is the birthday star of this day, and he can be regarded as an elder in the clan. You can't let the birthday star stand at the door to entertain guests.

As for Aunt Guan, she is even more busy. She has two children to take care of, so she doesn't have much time, and she is still a woman, so she can't show her face too much. It's okay to help greet the female relatives in the back room, but It is not appropriate to stand in the front yard.

Originally Uncle Guan was the best candidate. He is the younger brother of the birthday star. His identity is definitely enough. He will not let the guests who come here feel neglected. He is familiar with the relatives at home, so there will be no misidentification or accidents. It's a matter of indistinct seniority.

But the current state of that person, and the current state of their family, are obviously not suitable for participating in such an occasion that can be said to be a half-family gathering.

Second Uncle Guan was very knowledgeable when he came back. He knew that his family was not welcome, so he just asked his two sons to bring the birthday gift, but he didn't show up.

Originally, the two nephews of Uncle Guan were good candidates, but after giving the birthday gift, the two of them quickly blended into the crowd who came to pay their respects. , The unobtrusive 'three no' principles'.

Under such circumstances, Zhang Yun was pushed out and took on the task of welcoming guests at the birthday banquet. After all, he can be regarded as the half son of Uncle Guan, and he has an official position, so he will be the welcoming guest , there shouldn't be anyone who would pick on it.

As for Guan Jing, it was Uncle Guan who was sent to support Zhang Yun because he was afraid that Zhang Yun would not recognize his relatives and make some jokes.

In fact, Uncle Guan was too worried. He didn’t hold a big birthday party this time. The people he invited were all real relatives and good friends. Most of these people Zhang Yun had seen before. From the point of view and memory of the scouts, Zhang Yun did not dare to say that he could remember all of them, but he still had an impression of their general names and identities, and there would be no mistakes.

Just like that, Zhang Yun and his young couple stood at the newly built gate, smiling and condescending to the people who came to celebrate their birthdays. The two of them laughed all morning, their cheeks were about to go stiff, and they managed to last until it was almost time for dinner. See Almost everyone had arrived, and no one was coming at the gate, so they returned to the house, ready to take a breather and rest.

Just after noon, Uncle Guan came out of the house. While accepting congratulations from everyone, he silently checked the guests. Seeing that all the guests who were supposed to come had arrived, he gave his wife a wink.

Aunt Guan understood, and came to the kitchen to ask the chefs to serve the dishes. The cold dishes were all prepared, and the hot dishes were also cut up, and the stir-fried dishes were ready to be served.

Seeing this, Zhang Yun quickly asked the guests to sit around the table. Since the guests were all acquaintances, everyone didn't pay much attention. The men came into the house spontaneously, while the women and children stayed in the yard. According to their seniority and degree of acquaintance, they each found their seats and sat down.

After the banquet started, Zhang Yun was dragged into the room to accompany the wine. He was not allowed to sit at the main table. The people sitting around that table were all elders. Uncle Guan himself was also there, so he was not needed. He chose a table at random, and the other table was served by a cousin of the uncle concerned.

It can be said that this meal was a feast for the guests. Zhang Yun's alcohol capacity is still good, but today he drank a little too much, and his head was always confused. After sending all the guests away, he went back to the room He fell on the kang.

Seeing this, Guan Jing hurriedly went to the kitchen with a washbasin to get a basin of hot water, and went back to the house to wring out the handkerchief to wipe his face. At this time, Aunt Guan also came in and saw Zhang Yun lying on the kang He hurried over and asked, "Brother Yun, what's the matter? But is there any discomfort in your body?"

Hearing the voice of questioning, Zhang Yun opened his eyes, saw that it was Aunt Guan, and returned: "It's okay, mother, I just drank too much wine, and I'm a little bit hot now, don't worry. Just let me lie down for a while."

Seeing his uncomfortable look, Aunt Guan said distressedly: "Why drink so much, how uncomfortable it is to be drunk, I remember there should be some peppermint oil in the cabinet, you wait for me to take it out for you, you use it Some of them should feel better."

After speaking, Aunt Guan began to rummage through the boxes, and finally found the peppermint oil in a corner of a cabinet, handed it to Guan Jing with some embarrassment, and said: "When we moved, everything was mixed up, and I haven't had time to clean it up yet. Then, you apply this peppermint oil to his forehead and temples, this stuff is very effective for drunken headaches, I often give it to your father."

Guan Jing took the peppermint oil, and applied it on the part that Aunt Guan said, and gently rubbed her fingers on the skin where the medicine was applied, in order to make the medicine spread faster.

This peppermint oil is really very effective. After just applying it for a while, Zhang Yun felt a coolness on his head, his head did not swell up, and the feeling of dizziness was much less. The massage was also very comfortable. Zhang Yun Yun pillowed Guan Jing's thigh, and relaxed himself completely. After a while, the spirit of alcohol came up, and Zhang Yun fell asleep in a daze.

Seeing that he was asleep, Guan Jing called Aunt Guan to hug a pillow in a low voice. Aunt Guan pulled out a pillow from the quilt and handed it to Guan Jing. Moved out from under Yun's head, then stuffed the pillow in Zhang Yun's head under Zhang Yun's head, adjusted the angle so that he could sleep on it, pulled out a quilt to cover him, and then quietly followed Aunt Guan to leave The house, to clean up the mess left after the birthday banquet.

When Zhang Yun woke up, the sun was shining and the sun was setting in the west outside the window. He slept very comfortably this time. After waking up, he felt extremely relaxed. He stood up from the kang, stretched his waist, and then put on his shoes and went to the ground. , came outside the house.

Outside, Aunt Guan and the others had just cleaned up the yard. Seeing him coming out, Aunt Guan asked with concern: "Brother Yun is awake, how is your sleep?"

Zhang Yun replied: "It's relieved, and I feel much more comfortable now."

Aunt Guan laughed when she heard the words: "That's good. There is still hot water sitting on the stove in the kitchen. Go and wash your face. Be refreshed. Let's have dinner later."

Zhang Yun heard the words and replied: "How do I remember that I just finished eating? Why do I still want to eat?"

Aunt Guan replied: "Take it as if I didn't see it. At noon, your table was busy drinking, and the food was not touched. When I went to remove the table, there were still a few dishes on it that were not touched at all." Yes, if it weren't for the fact that there were not many dishes left on the other tables, I would have thought it was because you all disliked the dishes I cooked."

Zhang Yun scratched his head in embarrassment when he heard the words. The people at the table he was sitting at didn't know what happened today, and everyone poured all their energy into filling him with wine, all of which belonged to relatives and friends. Yun couldn't help but drink, but seeing that the situation was not good, he respected him back in the same way.

So at their table, after a banquet, they didn't eat a few mouthfuls of food, and they didn't drink less wine. When they returned home, most of them asked their families to carry them back.

Seeing him, Aunt Guan shook her head helplessly and said, "Hurry up and clean yourself up, be careful that Bao Ni will smell the alcohol on you and won't let you come near."

Zhang Yun smirked back at his mother-in-law's teasing, and then went into the kitchen to wash his face while Aunt Guan was not paying attention.

When he returned to the house, the dinner was already on the table. Aunt Guan greeted him to sit around the table and said, "It's all at noon, and there are some long dishes left. I don't have time because time is tight." Let’s make new ones, let’s have a bite first.”

Hearing this, Zhang Yun looked at the food on the table and said: "Mother, you are really too polite. There are all kinds of chicken, duck, fish and meat. It's just enough. I think the New Year's Eve dinner is like this."

Aunt Guan was very happy to be teased by Zhang Yun. Suddenly, she caught sight of her husband's movement out of the corner of her eye. Ma Shan changed his face and said, "Boss, Brother Yun has just sobered up. How dare you take out the wine bottle and try it."

Upon hearing this, Uncle Guan withdrew his hand that was about to reach out and said: "Good food requires good wine, otherwise it will be tasteless."

Aunt Guan heard the words and said: "Don't think about it, you two have had enough to drink at noon, and you can't drink at night."

Then he turned his head and said to Zhang Yun: "Brother Yun, it's not that mother is in charge of you. Wine is just for entertainment. It's not good to drink too much."

Zhang Yun didn't answer, but just hummed in response. Aunt Guan's words were obviously meant for Uncle Guan, so he didn't want to get involved in the war between his father-in-law and his mother-in-law.

Taking advantage of no one's attention, Zhang Yun put a fat chicken leg into Guan Jing's bowl. His daughter-in-law had worked all day, so she had to eat something good.

After dinner, Zhang Yun and the others stood up to say goodbye. Aunt Guan hurriedly packed some food and asked them to take it home to eat. Zhang Yun and the others did not refuse. , Zhang Yun walked behind him, and the family of three walked home in the afterglow of the setting sun.
