Chapter 113 Tea Ceremony
The three children then went to the main room.
Song Li looked at the three children and said, "Sister-in-law, you're so young and you already have three children."
Fan Chunhua laughed and said, "Me? It's not early. I had a child when I was seventeen or eighteen."
Song Li suddenly thought of this moment.
That seems to be true.
This is Beijing; the wedding will be a little later.
In rural areas, people really do get married at seventeen or eighteen.
In more remote areas, it's common to see people getting married at fifteen or sixteen.
Thinking back to the videos she had seen before, she realized that people in later generations were getting married at the age of fifteen or sixteen.
Both of them looked like children.
Song Li neither liked nor disliked children.
It might be a realistic view: if someone is well-behaved, they'll like them; if they're not, they won't.
"Sister Chunhua, thank you so much for taking care of Grandpa while I was away."
"Don't thank me! I should be thanking you for giving Haisheng a job. Otherwise, Haisheng would only earn about twenty yuan a month even if he works himself to death."
Let's help each other out!
"Hmm, how long will you be staying in the capital?"
Fan Chunhua asked this mainly to find out how long Haisheng could keep the job. After all, it was such a good job, and every day he could keep it was a good day!
"I'm still studying, and I'll be going back home in January."
"Will Haisheng still be coming over to cook during this time?"
"If you want to stay the same, then rest from New Year's Eve to the second day of the Lunar New Year, and come back on the third day."
Fan Chunhua smiled and said, "No need to rest, just come over every day if you need Haisheng."
Song Li: "How can we not have a holiday during the Lunar New Year? Besides, Hai Sheng can ask for leave whenever he has something to do."
"What could possibly be wrong with him? Apart from his children, there's nothing wrong with him."
"Haisheng has taken good care of Grandpa; Grandpa's energy and spirit have improved a lot in the past six months."
"When are you coming to the capital?"
"The second half of next year."
Upon hearing this, Fan Chunhua realized that the job would only be available until the second half of next year.
Song Li saw that Fan Chunhua immediately wilted.
"What's wrong?" Song Li asked, puzzled.
Fan Chunhua looked up at Song Li: "It's nothing. It's just that it's a bit of a shame that I can only do such a good job for another six months."
Song Li laughed: "What are you thinking, Sister Chunhua? I still have to study and I'm too busy to take care of Grandpa. Even if I come to the capital, I still have to let Brother Haisheng take care of Grandpa."
Fan Chunhua's eyes lit up immediately upon hearing this.
"real?"
"Um."
"That's wonderful!"
Song Li watched Chunhua's happiness.
I understand.
It's so hard to find a job in Beijing these days!
During this period, jobs are hard to find no matter where you are.
Why?
Because every year there are high school and college graduates, everyone has to find a job, and the educated youth also return to the city.
Therefore, it is even more difficult for people like Chen Haisheng, who come from the countryside and do not have much education, to find a job.
"Let's go inside and sit down."
Everyone enjoyed dinner together happily that evening.
Fan Chunhua's three children are quite well-behaved.
And polite.
If the parents are both good, the child is unlikely to be too bad.
Song Li liked it fairly much.
Looking at the sumptuous dinner on the table, I ate with reasonable manners.
It didn't mention anything about stealing or robbing.
The two on top are sons, and the youngest is a sister.
Both older brothers take good care of their younger sister.
Song Li really likes this brother-sister combination.
Lu Cheng is from S Province.
When inviting people to dinner, you definitely need to prepare some alcohol!
So in the end, all three men drank a little alcohol.
The women and children ate vegetables.
The drinks are too cold at this point.
Song Li cooked a small pot of white fungus soup.
They drank soup.
Because everyone lived close by, after dinner...
Everyone sat together again to watch TV and chat about everyday things.
Grandpa Yu looked at the lively scene.
I found myself thinking about the past again.
I wonder if they're doing well on the other side.
I originally thought I would be going to spend time with my family, but now I have something to look forward to.
Song Li bought a tea table in the afternoon.
It was also placed next to the main room.
Lu Cheng took the items and installed them.
Grandpa Yu looked at it and asked, "What is this now?"
Song Li: "The tea table, Grandpa can have some tea by himself whenever he has time."
After setting up the table.
There's a power outlet right behind it.
Three children are watching TV in front of them.
"Brother Haisheng, Sister Chunhua, Grandpa, please try my cooking."
Song Li took it out from the tea table next to him.
Actually, she has a habit of drinking tea.
It's evening now, and there are some things to consider when drinking tea. If you drink raw Pu-erh, oolong, or green tea, it's guaranteed to keep you up all night.
Therefore, it's better to drink ripe Pu'er tea or aged white tea at this time.
Song Li brought out ripe Pu'er tea. Ripe Pu'er tea undergoes pile fermentation, which significantly reduces the content of caffeine and theophylline. It is mild in nature and contains probiotics to aid digestion, preventing bloating before bedtime from affecting sleep.
This was the first time Lu Cheng had ever seen Song Li brew tea.
Song Li saw Lu Cheng looking at her with a flushed face.
Lu Cheng's face turns red as soon as he drinks.
He had already discovered it before.
I don't know if it's because of the makeup on his face, or because he's so fair-skinned.
So it's quite obvious.
Lu Cheng won't be going home for dinner tonight; he's already called the Xu family.
So he wasn't in a hurry and just chatted with everyone.
At his age, Grandpa Yu either enjoys playing chess or drinking tea.
Song Li took out these things to help Grandpa Yu pass the time.
When Song Li opened the box.
Take out a set of Yixing clay teapots and teaware.
Grandpa Yu's eyes lit up.
"This tea set is nice."
"You like it, right?"
Song Li skillfully cleaned the cup.
A set of tea-brewing techniques made him move with effortless grace.
Fan Chunhua looked on and said, "My sister's tea-making skills are truly beautiful."
Song Li: "It's all just for show. Sister Chunhua, try the taste."
Song Li first placed the teacup in front of Grandpa Yu.
Then came Sister Chunhua and Brother Haisheng.
Lu Cheng came last.
Grandpa Yu: "Hmm, the timing was good, and the tea tastes good too."
Looking at the two cans of tea beside him, Song Li explained, "This can is ripe Pu'er tea, which is fine to drink at night as it aids digestion. The other can is green tea, which is suitable for drinking during the day. Grandpa can brew it when he has time."
Grandpa Yu laughed and said, "Good, good, good."
Chen Haisheng chuckled and said, "Although I don't know much about tea, Xiao Song's tea really tastes very good."
Fan Chunhua: "We've finally experienced the bitterness of life."
Song Li didn't expect Chunhua to be so funny.
It was already dark outside.
Around eight o'clock.
Chunhua then took her husband and children back home.
The children politely said, "Goodbye Grandpa Yu, goodbye Brother Lu Cheng and Sister Xiao Li."
Song Li: "Okay, slow down."
Song Li escorted the person to the door.
Then, looking at Lu Cheng beside him, he asked, "Second Brother, are you going home tonight?"
Lu Cheng immediately felt dizzy and shook his head: "This wine still has a strong aftereffect. I don't feel very comfortable. I'll just sleep here."
Song Li nodded: "Okay!"
The door was closed.
Lu Cheng went back to his room feeling dizzy and disoriented.
We're using a stove now.
After fetching the water, Song Li went to Lu Cheng's room.
It's better to wash your face and feet before sleeping.
Considering that he treated her like a younger sister, it wouldn't be a big deal for her to take care of him too.
