Chapter 81 Wu Xiyuan Was In Drink
"When did he drink? How could he drink? What should we do?"
Actually, they could drink a lot, but they usually drank a little, since they valued the wine. No one in their family would get drunk, so Liu Cuihua didn't know what to do.
Huang Husheng felt sorry for that. In fact, the wine pot was beside him, but Huang Husheng didn't notice that Wu Xiyuan had secretly poured the wine. It was really his carelessness.
"Make him some soup to alleviate the hangover." Huang Husheng suggested.
Liu Cuihua shook her head with a frown. "We don't have the herb to make it."
Stunned, Huang Husheng asked, "Do you have honey?"
"Yes."
"Then help him drink some honey water."
Su Jiuyue immdiately stood up. "Mother, let me do it."
The honey was locked in the cupboard by Liu Cuihua. Taking the key, she opened the cupboard and took out a pottery pot.
"The honey was collected by your uncle in the mountains last summer. He came back and gave some to us. We treasured it so much that we haven't tasted it."
Of course, Su Jiuyue knew it was precious. She had never had chance to taste it, so she didn't know what it tasted.
Liu Cuihua carefully scooped out a little honey with a small spoon and put it in the cup. Seeing Su Jiuyue looking at it with eager eyes, she felt a little funny, so she scooped a little more, smiling, "Come on, open your mouth."
Stunned for a second, Su Jiuyue subconsciously opened her mouth. Then, Liu Cuihua fed her a mouthful of honey.
The sweet taste melted in her mouth. The honey was so sweet that shecompressed her lips
, waiting for the sweet to dissipate. Then she said, "Thank you, mom."
Liu Cuihua said happily, "You are welcome. Go and get some water to feed Xiyuan. I just left him alone for a second and he got drunk."
Su Jiuyue felt guilty since she failed to take care of Wu Xiyuan when he was sitting beside her. She quickly apologized, "Mom, I'm sorry that I didn't take good care of Xiyuan."
As soon as Liu Cuihua locked the cabinet, she saw Su Jiuyue lowering her head. So she she gently touched her head, comforting her in a soft voice. "It's not your fault. I sat opposite and didn't notice anything different. With only an oil lamp, it's not easy to see things clearly. He has grown up. It's OK for him to drink some wine."
Seeing that Liu Cuihua wouldn't blame her, Su Jiuyue felt relaxed.
Liu Cuihua withdrew her hand. "Let's go back."
Then, Liu Cuihua asked her sons to carry Wu Xiyuan to the room.
Su Jiuyue took a bowl of hot water from the kitchen to her room.
Seeing her coming, Dacheng and Ercheng nodded at her and went out.
After putting the kerosene lamp on the kang, a heatable brick bed, Su Jiuyue picked up the bowl again and took a spoonful of soup. Then, she blew it gently, feeding it to Wu Xiyuan.
Subconsciously swallowing the soup, he slowly drank a bowl of it.
He seemed to feel better, for he didn't frown anymore.
Having helped him cover the quilt, Su Jiuyue washed her face and rinsed her mouth. Then she climbed into bed and lay on the kang.
After taking off her cotton-padded jacket, she got into the warm quilt, closing her eyes. Suddenly Wu Xiyuan's arm pressed on her.
Immediately, she opened her eyes again.
She pushed Wu Xiyuan beside her. "Xiyuan, Xiyuan."
Wu Xiyuan slept so sound that she couldn't push him away. He even leaned towards her, rubbed his head in a comfortable position on her shoulder, and didn't move again.
