Chapter 268 Practice Makes You Really Know
Qiu Huoming looked at them in silence, with a slight curl of his lips, "That's it! Such a poor drinking capacity!"
Zhang Yougen groaned and kicked off the ill-fitting shoes that Chen Jun had given him, "Give me my shoes..."
Although he has a bit of a lisp, his thinking is still online.
Qiu Huoming handed him his wet shoes.
Zhang Yougen put it on with great effort, "Help me up."
Qiu Huoming just stood up. Fang Jun, who was lying on the table, raised his head and looked at Qiu Huoming with drunken eyes, "Another drink."
Zhang Yougen cursed: "Stupid."
Fang Jun chuckled and fell on the table again with a "plop".
"Let's go. This kid will only be dizzy for a while. He can drink better than me. He just drank too fast today." It was rare for Zhang Yougen to praise Fang Jun in person. Unfortunately, Fang Jun was drunk on the table and didn't hear anything.
"Brother Yougen, how is your business going now?"
Qiu Huoming sighed, "Don't go too far."
After going downstairs, he could walk on his own, albeit unsteadily.
Halfway through the journey, the wind became increasingly cold, and Zhang Yougen cursed, "Who the hell asked me out for dinner today!" Qiu Huoming glanced at him silently, thinking, how dare you say that.
As soon as he entered the room, the door opened. Chen Suniang opened the door and walked out with a half-knitted sweater in her hand. "As soon as I heard the door open, I knew you were back. Have you been drinking?"
"Brother Yougen, when you sober up, I want to have a good talk with you!"
Chen Suniang said with a smile: "Your alcohol tolerance is just like your father." Qiu Jianshe's voice came from the room, a little far away, as if he was lying on the bed, "He can drink less than me!"
"Yeah." Qiu Huoming responded, went back to the small room, took a few clothes, grabbed a towel and walked out.
Qiu Huoming took a deep step, and after he steadied himself, the two of them staggered forward.
"She? She is free..."
The two of them walked in the snow, stumbling towards the east gate. The snow under their feet made a "crunching, crunching" sound. In the dark night, there was silence all around, with only the sound of their feet stepping on the snow and the sound of their talking to each other.
"Hey, that kid Fang Jun...good things are about to happen. The house he lives in now was rented by me for him..." He was trembling as he spoke.
She turned around, put down her sweater, and walked quickly to the kitchen. "I've boiled some hot water. Take it first. I'll boil some more and fill a thermos bottle for you later. Don't take a shower. You might catch a cold after drinking. Go inside and wipe yourself off and change into clean clothes..."
He moved closer to Qiu Huoming and put his hand on his shoulder, "Hold on for me...for a while."
Zhang Yougen stretched out his empty hand and patted Qiu Huoming on the cheek, "Are you stupid? They want to get married, it's a good thing, don't be stupid and go over to them..."
After a long silence, Qiu Huoming asked, "Brother Yougen, is your foot okay?"
The lights in the yard were on. He pushed open the door and walked in. The snowman he had made this morning had not melted yet and stood in the open space in the yard in a naive manner.
"Then what about Sister Hong?" Qiu Huoming frowned.
"Kid, you know shit..." Zhang Yougen slipped and Qiu Huoming quickly steadied himself. The distance was not far but he was already sweating.
Qiu Huoming exhaled, turned into white frost, and drifted in the night sky. Forget it, just pretend that he didn't hear these words.
Chen Suniang held back her laughter. She leaned closer to take a look and asked, "Why is your head covered in sweat?"
"Don't worry, I can't let her suffer any loss. If she wants money, I will give her all my belongings..."
Qiu Huoming wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, then turned his head to look at the road behind him.
"I'm not drunk at all, except that my legs are weak... my mind is clear. Your brother Jun, humph... that guy is not drunk either..."
In the bathroom, the bucket was already there, and Chen Suniang carried two bottles of boiled water and placed them next to the bucket.
Qiu Huoming was stunned, "Then..."
Qiu Huoming touched his face, which was hot, and said, "I drank a cup."
"So...good things are coming to him."
Qiu Huoming was silent for a moment; he was unable to refute this statement.
"Hey, then you don't understand." Zhang Yougen choked up, "How can a man without any achievements...have a romantic relationship..."
Zhang Yougen's alcohol smell had dissipated a little, but he was still freezing. He rubbed his hands back and forth, "I'm freezing. I have to take a hot bath when I get home."
Zhang Yougen is really generous, but he is also really a scumbag. Qiu Huoming is too lazy to pay attention to him and simply keeps his mouth shut.
A cold wind blew outside, and Zhang Yougen shivered, his mind half clear.
"The profit is very high. Fang Jun wants me to go to the provincial capital. Our county is too small. It is impossible to expand it. In the future... he will stay in Wucheng and I will go to the provincial capital, so..." Zhang Yougen's eyes showed a hint of coldness, "This is the end of me and your sister Hong."
In this era, if you say it is conservative, people are still quite open about this aspect. If you say it is open, everyone takes reputation very seriously.
Qiu Huoming glanced at him. As expected, he was a scumbag in both his past and present life. But he couldn't be a scumbag this year, otherwise he might lose his life.
"Well, anyway, don't let him down. This is for your own good."
When I got home, the yard door was ajar.
"Brother Jun is getting married, what about you? Sister Hong is so sincere to you." Qiu Huoming decided to be a marriage ambassador.
The two of them returned to the compound with great difficulty. Seeing that he could climb the stairs fairly well, Qiu Huoming left on his own.
Qiu Huoming carried Zhang Yougen, closed the door, and walked along the dark corridor to the entrance.
When Qiu Huoming wiped himself and changed his clothes, Chen Suniang had already filled his thermos bottle, still the one for the IV, wrapped it in a towel, and handed it to him, "Go to bed early tonight."
Qiu Huoming nodded. It was almost ten o'clock. Wucheng County was located in the central part of the country. It was neither in the north nor in the south. It was okay that there was no heating in the winter, but the humidity of the south was also present. The cold in winter was damp and cold, which could chill you to the bone.
There was no air conditioning at that time, so everyone went to bed early.
I didn't hear the voices of my elder and younger sisters in the room, so I guess they went to bed.
Qiu Huoming returned to his room holding the thermos. He couldn't sleep at all at this time. What happened tonight overturned his three views. He simply sat down at the desk, took out the stationery and started writing a letter.
He wrote down every detail of what had happened recently. His emotions had fluctuated greatly in the past few days, but after pouring all these words out on the letter paper, his mood gradually calmed down.
The next morning, Ding Yu rushed over.
He pulled Qiu Huoming, who was still in bed, up and said, "We agreed to exercise..."
"Fatty, you took the wrong medicine, why are you so diligent all of a sudden!"
Qiu Huoming looked at the still dark sky. Chen Suniang had gotten up. She opened the courtyard door, let Ding Yu in, and went to the kitchen to cook porridge.
"I want to be as thin as a lightning bolt." Ding Yu said with great momentum.
"Fatty, what's irritating you?"
"You figured it out!" Ding Yu sat down on the edge of Qiu Huoming's bed.
Qiu Huoming put on his cotton coat, shivered as he put on his cotton pants and asked, "Tell the truth quickly."
"Yesterday I went shopping with my mother, and I stopped by the post office to call my classmate..."
"Arts and Culture Committee member? Does she have a phone at home? She's a daughter from a wealthy family!"
"Hey, you can guess that! But she's not from a wealthy family. I made an appointment with her to talk at the post office... She said if I get fatter, she'll break up with me..."
Qiu Huoming was bending over to put on his shoes. He looked up at the fat man and said, "That's good advice. Let's just break up."
"Bah, we're not even together, how can we break up?"
"We're not even together yet, and you're already caring about your figure!"
Ding Yu hummed, "I do."
"The female character in your tape is her, right?"
Ding Yu nodded.
Qiu Huoming snorted coldly, "She is not worthy of you."
Ding Yu rubbed his cheek in surprise, "Oh my God, are you praising me?"
"I'll give you some confidence. Let's go and wake up Hongye and Hongshuang!"
Ding Yu was in a good mood. He let Qiu Huoming go into the house to call for help. He squatted in the yard alone to transform the snowman. When Hongye Hongshuang came out, the snowman had been completely transformed into a girl with braids.
The younger sister came forward with a smile and said, "This is Brother Ding Yu's wife."
Qiu Huoming was shocked, and the elder sister quickly reached out to cover the younger sister's mouth.
Today is Sunday, and both parents are at home. Chen Suniang poked her head out from the kitchen and asked, "Hey, is Xiaoyu in love?"
Ding Yu blushed for a rare moment, "No, no, we haven't started talking yet."
Chen Suniang coughed lightly and glanced at Qiu Huoming, "So, Huoming is in love?"
Qiu Huoming saw that the trouble was being diverted to others, and quickly shook his head, "Me neither."
Chen Suniang was thoughtful after hearing this. "Okay, forget it if you don't want to talk about it. But if you do, you have to treat the girl well..."
Ding Yu said carelessly: "Don't worry, I'm spoiling you."
He waved his hand, "Godmother, we're going out for exercise."
There was still a thick layer of snow outside. Qiu Huoming stretched out his hand and pulled him back, "Let's play in the yard today."
It was the first time that Chen Suniang saw her son and his two younger sisters practicing boxing, and she stood at the kitchen door and watched curiously.
Unexpectedly, several people were fighting so well. She didn't know any Kung Fu and wasn't very good at watching it, but she thought the moves were very beautiful.
Naturally, she fully supported the children exercising. After watching for a while, she simply took out the eggs. She usually ate boiled eggs, but today she made an exception and fried them.
Oil is very expensive these days. It’s not that you can’t afford it, but it’s mainly in limited supply. Once you’ve finished it, you can only stare at it in dismay.
The yard was bustling with activity, and neighbors who occasionally passed by couldn't help but take a second look. Everyone said that the Qiu family had good feng shui, that their daughter's first child was a son after marriage, and that their son-in-law was busy taking care of her. It was obvious that they had a good life. As for Qiu Huoming, that was even more so, as he was a rare Wenquxing who had descended to earth once in a century.
After the exercise, several people went back to the house and had a hearty breakfast. They had not continued to order milk since the end of summer, mainly because the milk company no longer supplied private customers.
Malted milk suddenly became valuable again. Giving a can of malted milk to someone else was both a gift and a prestige.
The malted milk at home had been finished a long time ago. After dinner, Qiu Huoming was going to mail a letter and buy two more cans of malted milk from the supply and marketing cooperative. One of them was going to be given to his grandparents. He hadn't visited them in the past two days since he came back. Today was Sunday and his third aunt was also at home, so he went to visit them together.
After breakfast, Ding Yu and Qiu Huoming went to the streets together. Many units had organized manpower to clean the streets today.
The streets were bustling with many stalls along the street, mostly selling New Year's goods.
At the People's Square, there are three stalls specializing in writing couplets. Many people who get up early to buy vegetables are crowding in front of the stalls to make their selections, creating a more festive atmosphere.
Arriving at the post office, Qiu Huoming mailed the letter and went to see Brother Chunsheng. It was still early and he was sorting mail in the hall. He caught sight of Qiu Huoming and immediately came over to greet him, "Huoming, Xiaoyu, are you guys on holiday?"
"Hey, it's vacation time, so I came to see you. When you have a day off, we can get together."
Ding Yu said obediently, "Brother Chunsheng."
Chunsheng smiled and said, "I'm busy recently. When I'm free, I'll go to your house to find you."
"Okay, then you go ahead and get busy."
Chunsheng reached out and patted his shoulder, "Would you like to subscribe to the magazine this year?"
Qiu Huoming almost forgot about this. "Subscribe. Add a martial arts magazine and a science magazine. I want a whole year's supply."
"Okay, I'll arrange it and settle it with you later."
"Thanks."
Someone called him from the mail sorting area. Chunsheng waved his hand and said, "I have to go back and get busy. It's almost the New Year and the mail is all piled up."
Qiu Huoming waved his hand and said, "Goodbye."
When Qiu Huoming and Ding Yu left the post office, they suddenly heard hurried footsteps behind them. Chunsheng quickly chased after them, "What a coincidence today."
He calmed his breath and handed a telegram in his hand to Qiu Huoming, "Just sent this morning, it's yours."
"Mine?" Qiu Huoming took the telegram in surprise. It was sent from the capital.
"Thanks."
"Don't be polite. I'm leaving." Chunsheng walked back again.
Ding Yu approached Qiu Huoming, "From the capital! It's not Gu Xiaoran."
Qiu Huoming simply unfolded the telegram at the door.
"It's not Gu Xiaoran, it's Editor-in-Chief Zhou. He told me not to buy the train ticket. Someone from Luzhou is going to Beijing with me, and he bought it for me." Qiu Huoming looked at the other words above. The other party will come to Wucheng to pick him up and go to Luzhou together, probably on the fifth day of the New Year.
This does save trouble, but it means I will spend less time at home with my parents.
"Huozi, are you going to the capital? Are you going to find Gu Xiaoran?"
Ding Yu looked envious, "I want to go too."
"When I go to Beijing, Gu Xiaoran might not have started school yet. I'm going to join an inspection team, a scientific research inspection team. It must be very boring. You won't be interested..."
Ding Yu was relieved and said, "It's just like going to class. Forget it. I'd better stay at home and eat and drink for free."
Qiu Huoming put away the telegram and walked forward. "I'm going to the supply and marketing cooperative. Why don't you go back first? Godmother won't see you all day and night. I'm afraid she will get mad again."
"I'll go buy her a box of vanishing cream. Women just need to be coaxed."
Qiu Huoming glanced at him and snorted, "Day after day, I don't know who you learned this from."
Ding Yu quickly followed and put his hand on his shoulder, "Hey, I learn from practice..."
When they arrived at the supply and marketing cooperative, Qiu Huoming bought two cans of malted milk and went to the daily chemical counter to find Ding Yu, who was concentrating on selecting facial cosmetics.
The best-selling item here is not vanishing cream, but clam oil. In the cold winter, many people rely on it to keep their skin from cracking.
Ding Yu was just about to ask Qiu Huoming which one he should buy would be more suitable.
When he looked up, he saw Qiu Huoming saying to the teller: "Comrade, please give me two boxes of vanishing cream and two boxes of clam oil..."
